Bitter Sweet Revenge

 

Nobu had heard the line go dead as soon as it connected. The caller id had said Asuna. He ported via his shoki and he went to her Tokyo penthouse. He found on her the floor bleeding out and he was stunned. There were other spots of blood on the floor as well and he picked her up. He ported back to the hospital and laid her on a gurney. He listened closely and he cursed. Hana's heart beat was slower then what it should be and he yelled for Nanami and Shinobu.

 

“Crash section?” Nanami asked.

 

“Hai. She is bleeding into her abdomen.” Nobu sighed.

 

Nanami left to get the OR ready. Shinobu was listening with his stethoscope and Nobu sighed louder.

 

“Chichi, I prefer the medical instruments!” He snapped.

 

“You are kumo dominant so you could use your senses but you refuse.” Nobu said raising a brow.

 

“Hai well you do it the old way and I will use whatever I wish. You trained me and I stay current.” He said beginning to wheel his mother towards the operating room.

 

Nanami was ready and she cut into her mother's abdomen with a scalpel. She cussed as she began suctioning. She pulled out a silver haired pup and she looked up to see Tekeshi in the window. He looked horrified but she handed off Hana to nurses. She was suctioning more blood. She pulled out the abrupted placenta and her eyes widened.

 

“Oh Kamis.” She said softly as she pulled out a smaller babe.

 

This tiny boy exuded such raw power that Nanami was in shock. He looked too young to be born and she called the nurses. He was struggling to breathe and the pediatric doctors began working. Nobu's eyes were wide but the tiny babe was beautiful with his black hair tinted with subtle red streaks. Nobu walked outside and Nobu patted the inu's back.

 

“Hana is good. She is so damn powerful it is unreal. You can see her soon.” He said.

 

“Thank you. Why is the other babe so small?” He asked concerned.

 

“My theory is that Hana dominated him. We had no clue and we checked her often my lord. Seems Hana's aura covered his.” Nobu said.

 

Nanami came out and she was quiet.

 

“Haha was pierced with a katana but no big deal there but the placenta abrupted before that. She will be okay but I am having a blood transfusion done anyway. I need to make a call.” She said softly.

 

Nanami was shaky and her baby brother was so pretty. She ported to the apartment building and she knocked on the door. Amedeo opened it and he smiled a little.

 

“Sir you need to come with me.” She said gently.

 

“Femmina? What is wrong?” He asked.

 

“Haha had Hana. You need to see her now.” Nanami said taking his arm and porting them.

 

Amedeo was confused and this tiny femmina was marching him somewhere. She walked him up to a sink and she began washing her hands and he followed suit. A nurse put a white gown over his street clothes and Nanami entered a room and he saw small daemon babes that had been born with issue. She led him to a small flat bed and he made an almost wounded noise. There on the bed was a tiny babe that was very obviously his. His hands were suddenly shaking and he nearly fell.

 

“He is small. I know nothing of basilisk anatomy. I need to take blood and such from you for a base line.” She explained.

 

“What? How? She did not say anything!” He said shocked.

 

“She did not know. For some reason my sister shielded his aura completely. Haha would not have kept this from you.” Nanami answered.

 

“What is that thing?” he asked emotionally indicating the respirator.

 

“He cannot breathe on his own sir. I need that blood draw.” She said kneeling next to him.

 

“How could she not know? She would not lie to me would she?” He asked totally confused and bewildered.

 

“Amedeo sir. Haha is not like that. She would have told you. She would not have denied you.” Nanami stated as she pulled out a syringe and found a vein in his arm. She tied a tourniquet and withdrew some of his powerful blood.

 

“You should talk to him. You should name him as well.” She murmured.

 

“Si. He is so utterly beautiful.” He said as his red eyes looked strange.

 

Nanami agreed and she stood up. She walked away and Amedeo stood up slowly. His newborn son was so incredibly small and he gingerly touched the tiny hand.

 

“Justinus. My son please. I need you. I need you baby boy.” Amedeo said shaking.

 

Nobu watched and his heart was hurting for the basilisk. The babe was not doing well at all and Asuna was going to be devastated. He sighed and he walked into the recovery room. Tekeshi was holding Hana and Asuna was barely conscious.

 

“How is he?” Tekeshi asked softly.

 

Nobu shook his head and Tekeshi looked down at his baby girl. His green eyes lit up and he looked at the kumo healer.

 

“Put them next to the other. Let them be near each other. They are twins after all.” He said lifting his head.

 

“She is healthy Lord Tekeshi. I mean she is more then healthy. She is downright perfect.” Nobu smiled.

 

“Hai well she looks like aijou but I like to think I had just a little something to do with it. Come it is worth a try.” Tekeshi said with enthusiasm.

 

He carefully brought Hana and she was whining a little. Tekeshi let a couple of tears fall and he saw the basilisk he had seen from a distance.

 

“Hello your majesty. I am Lord Tekeshi and this is my pup Hana.” He said softly.

 

“Si. Hello little one.” Amedeo said softly to the green eyed beauty.

 

“We have miko blood in us rex. We have the blood of healers in us.” Tekeshi said softly.

 

“His sister may help him si?” He asked hopeful.

 

“Hai. I am hoping.” The former Manchu lord said.

 

Amedeo nodded and Nobu took Hana. He carefully arranged the basilisk's progeny next to Hana and his heart rate became stronger instantly. Nobu and Amedeo looked surprised and the kumo healer nodded. Amedeo sank down and looked at Nobu and he grabbed his hand.

 

“I have named him Justinus. May I see her? Please.” He said distraught.

 

“Hai. This way.” Nobu said.

 

Amedeo came into the room where she was recovering and she saw Amedeo. She looked confused and he knew she had truly not known. He actually wiped his eyes and he sat next to her bed.

 

“Do you know what has happened?” He asked.

 

“No. I know Hana has been born but I know something else happened.” She whispered.

 

“Femmina, you gave me a son.” He said barely above a whisper.

 

“What? Wait but I would have known.” She said shaking her head.

 

“Asuna there is no doubt that he is my babe. You have given me a son.” He said as a couple of tears fell down his face.

 

“I would not have kept it from you. His aura was hidden by Hana.” She said shaking her head.

 

“You gave me a son.” Amedeo said then kissed her softly.

 

“I want to see him.” She said crying a little.

 

“Get in the wheel chair Asuna. He is on a breathing machine at the moment.” Nobu explained.

 

“How could we have not known?” Asuna asked in anguish.

 

“Hana's aura is dampening. I am not one hundred percent sure but I think she may have been protecting him. When she lived before she was very maternal, remember?” Nobu asked.

 

Tekeshi was a little jealous that they had gotten to know his sweet girl and he had not but he intended for this time to be different. He would not leave his sweet babe again. He had raised Katashi and now he would raise Hana.

 

“Hai I remember.” Asuna nodded.

 

After she had washed her hands they wheeled her into the NICU. She was helped to standing and she saw a tiny little boy with black hair and subtle reddish stripes. He was no longer on the machine and they were all astonished.

 

“He does not need it.” Nanami said smiling.

 

Amedeo watched his son as he was next to his twin. His little boy opened his eyes and they were those of his femmina. He was so affected that he felt he might break down. He had light scaling but not anything like him. It seemed being near his twin was having a healing aspect on him.

 

“What did you name him Amedeo?” Asuna said overwhelmed.

 

“I named him Justinus.” Her basilisk lover said having to sit down.

 

“I like it.” She said smiling.

 

“Femmina will you stay with him for a moment?” He asked with misty eyes.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

Amedeo phased out and he appeared in his apartment he shared with his two closest friends. He sank down on the couch and began weeping. He was so overwhelmed in the shock and absolute love he felt for the tiny boy. Adrastus came in and so did Gabrielus.

 

“My rex? What has happened?” Adrastus asked.

 

“Asuna gave birth. She gave me a son.” He said wiping his eyes.

 

“What?” Gabrielus asked surprised.

 

“Si. His aura was hidden by his cane sister. I have a son!” He cried softly.

 

Gabrielus and Adrastus both bowed to their king and they went back with him to see the tiny basilisk prince. Asuna was in a rocking chair and she holding both babes. Amedeo came forward and he took Justinus from her arms and he looked down at his beautiful boy. The fact that he looked so much like himself but had her eyes left him reeling. The fact that he was of her made him mean all that much more to him.

 

“I have never been this happy femmina. I have never felt this tremendous emotion before. Thank you so much for giving me this boy.” Amedeo whispered.

 

“I am in just as much shock as you Amedeo but he is beautiful! I am so happy.” She said wiping her eyes.

 

“I wish for him to take your surname my beautiful femmina.” He said kissing the babe's head.

 

Adrastus was affected by seeing the tiny babe. He had seen the utter rage and despair that Amedeo had felt when his first family had been destroyed. He thought to never see him quite this happy again. It took a cane-succubus to make him this joyful. Adrastus knew profound happiness for his king and best friend.

Asuna and Tekeshi were lying on her hospital bed with Hana between them. She looked exactly the same and she was the same sweet being that she always had been. Tekeshi had kissed her over and over and Asuna smiled. Amedeo was asleep in the same room and his body was curled around his small son. They had given Justinus a blood transfusion of Hana's blood and he was almost perfectly healthy. Nanami had discovered that if another basilisk babe was born that they needed to be under the “bili” lights. They also seemed to lack some nutrients that a basilisk mother could provide and not a mammal. Amedeo had informed her that Wen was pregnant and she had demanded her Byakko daughter to the hospital immediately. Wen was grousing in the next room and Gabrielus shouted at her to shut up. Asuna was smirking as her head strong daughter had met her match. She also realized that Wen and Gabrielus had fallen madly in love but neither was going to admit it. Hana was just as easy now as she had been before. Thoughts of Teru and his insisting she return to them made her happy. She slipped from the bed as Tekeshi and his beloved pup slept. She fished the medal out of her things and she walked into a large hall and made a gate appear. She could feel Lei through their bond and he was alright at the moment. She felt relief as she ported after she entered the Seireitei. She appeared at the head captain's office and she saw him exit his private office.

 

“Lady Asuna.” He mumbled.

 

“May we talk?” She asked.

 

He stepped aside and allowed her in. He slid his door shut and shifted his appearance. Asuna pulled him forward and their lips almost touched.

 

“Why did you convince Hana to return?” She asked.

 

“Because I love you. I love you and it tears me up that you have suffered.” He said breathing very heavily.

 

“Teiran's evil is done. There is nothing left that she did.” Asuna murmured.

 

“Hai. It is as it should be. I have a captain's meeting in a few minutes Asuna.” He said distracted.

 

She kissed him and he groaned as he gripped her tightly. His body was tight with tension and it seemed to melt away as she enveloped him. He finally pulled himself away and he looked affected.

 

“I have to have this meeting.” He said almost weakly.

 

“You are a Kami Teru; I think they can wait for you.” She murmured.

 

She again took his lips and he groaned more. She ended up against the wall as it became passionate. Teru's mind was muddled and he felt the reiastu of the various captains but he could not tear himself away from her. It hit him she was no longer pregnant and he realized that Hana must have be born. He kept himself in check but he was hurting. She sensed his tension and she slipped her hand inside of his hakama. She said nothing as she slowly wrapped her hand around him. His eyes rolled back and he moaned hard.

 

“Teru, you have given me my baby girl back and you restored Hinata. I am sorry I was so hateful.” She said softly.

 

“You react because you are a mother.” He replied in a low groan.

 

Her touch was firm and sultry as she kissed along his neck. He fought to keep himself quiet and Teru was feeling the heat of his own reiastu. Her free hand reached up and held his jaw and she kissed him as she continued to bring him to the brink. He was making soft moans and his face scrunched up as he reached the pinnacle. He experienced soft shudders as he came down and he leaned against her.

 

“I cannot have the meeting like this.” He muttered.

 

“I am sorry.” She said softly.

 

“No you are not.” He replied in a soft tone.

 

“Too true.” She smiled.

 

“Go enjoy your little ones Asuna. I have to plan an excursion. Aizen has been seen in Karakura Town.” He said pulling himself together.

 

“Tell me where and when. I will subvert anyway I can. I cannot openly fight him but I can make his life difficult.” She said brushing his white hair off of his face.

 

“I will come to see you this evening. May I see Hinata?” He asked.

 

“Hai. I will be in Karakura Town at my estate.” She said pressing her lips to his cheek.

 

He nodded and she ported away. She produced a gate and went through. Tekeshi was still asleep and Amedeo was awake with Justinus. Her half basilisk son was awake and he was looking around. Asuna brushed his mind and he turned his gold-brown eyes to stare at her. His tiny limbs jerked and she smiled at him softly.

 

“How long is a normal basilisk gestation?” She asked.

 

“Around ten months. Our femmina were always ready to be done. Your daughter Nanami has said that is why he had issues. She said he will be a basilisk.” Amedeo said smiling.

 

“He is telepathic.” She said running a finger along his cheek.

 

“He is rooting. Lift him up.” Asuna said as she undid her dressing gown.

 

Amedeo helped arrange him and she closed her eyes. He had a powerful suckling reflex and Amedeo watched astonished.

 

“I feel your eyes on me.” She whispered.

 

“Basilisk babes do not feed this way long. They develop the need for meat early on.” He whispered.

 

“Well he may be basilisk dominant but he does have me in him and I am a damn mammal.” She said opening her eyes to meet his and a small smile graced her lips.

 

“You have no idea how happy you have made me. I am so glad you interrupted my hibernation.” He confessed.

 

“Well you insisted that I could not hear your heartbeat or feel your aura.” She said smirking.

 

“I was arrogant to think that you were inferior at that moment. I have learned since you are better then me.” He said with such feeling.

 

“Amedeo, I am no better or no less then you. I love you and I will do anything for you. You accept me as I am.” She said very softly.

 

“I love you too. I love you both so much.” He said touching his son's head.

 

“He may be basilisk dominant but he definitely has mammalian tendencies.” Asuna smirked.

 

“Aijou may Hana join her brother?” Tekeshi asked smiling.

 

“Hai.” She smiled at him.

 

“Well basilisk you have sired a gorgeous little boy. Now my Hana is obviously the most beautiful little girl in the world besides her Haha but your son is quite handsome.” Tekeshi said smirking.

 

“You and I are going to be good friends cane.” Amedeo grinned.

 

“Well I have been to Rome many times and I must say I do love the wine. The buildings are pretty spectacular as well. I suppose your people have something to do with that.” Tekeshi teased.

 

“Your cane is funny. Let us have dinner this evening Lord Tekeshi and you can tell me all about this femmina when she was young.” Amedeo said smiling.

 

“Absolutely. I shall tell how she dressed down the Inu no Taisho who was her brother in a previous life. Touga was most put out but most impressed that the pup sired by his own Sesshomaru had bigger balls then he did.” Tekeshi said smirking.

 

Asuna growled and Amedeo barked in laughter. Tekeshi was so easy going she could see where Hwan and Geming got it from. Changming was just plain honorable in his regal way. This was beautiful to her. This was worth living and dying for and she would do everything in her to protect it.

Ling was watching Yoshiko as she slept. They were in Hunan and his father had about fell out when he had seen him. He closed his eyes and remembered the very first time he saw her when she was four years old. He had remembered how beautiful she had been then and when she had shown up in Hunan at thirteen; she had been a goddess in his eyes. During their long proxy marriage he had been so crazed. He had fallen so madly in love with the young nu zi. They had spent so much time together that he knew her. He knew her so well; she was so much like her father that it was scary. She could be emotional but she normally stayed calm. She was also so incredibly passionate that Cheung had flatly told him that he was the luckiest bastard on earth. Ling agreed and he never looked at another nu zi. They were mated exclusively and their ardor never cooled. There was no stillness in their relationship at all. They argued but it never lasted long. They could stare at the other across the room and his mother had confessed her jealousy of their relationship. He heard crashing and things breaking and he knew Wen or Wenling was home. He jumped up and threw on some sleeping pants. A white haired male was snarling at his niece and Wen's eyes had gone silver. The twins were odd in that their eyes did not bleed red but silver. They had such fine tuned control over the cold that the other Byakko assumed they were souls of long lost Byakko gods. Ling knew it was just their way.

 

“Do not control me Gabrielus!” She snarled at the white reptile.

 

“Femmina you are too reckless!” He growled back.

 

“Do me a favor and go back to sleep you white haired son of a bitch! Leave me alone.” She growled.

 

“Wen!” Ling snapped.

 

“Stay out of this Uncle Ling.” She snapped.

 

“Wen! Femmina, you are pregnant and you are acting weird; weirder then you normally act.” Gabrielus said exasperated.

 

“There are many beautiful male tigers Gabrielus, why not find you one and have a grand time. Leave me the fuck alone.” Wen said storming away.

 

“Wen!” The white yelled.

 

“She is not herself at all.” Ling said concerned.

 

“I am trying to reach her but she keeps freezing body parts!” Gabrielus said in anger.

 

“You said she is pregnant? Our healer is ancient and can look at her.” He said softly.

 

Chen came stumbling out of his chambers and rubbed his eyes. He looked at Gabrielus and then at Ling.

 

“I heard Wen yelling. Who are you?” The Byakko lord asked.

 

“I am General Gabrielus Thaddeus Cadmus. I am the former general of my rex's many legions.” He said bowing to Chen.

 

“I see. Your Wen's new obsession. Okay I am going back to bed.” Chen said waving him off.

 

Ling smiled and he walked beside Gabrielus who was at his wit's end dealing with her. She was rude and abrasive now. She was not eating and it concerned him. Ling led him to Guang and Gabrielus was surprised at the ancient tiger. He sat down and so did Ling.

 

“Wen is acting most strange.” Ling explained.

 

“My princess is pregnant.” He said chuckling.

 

“Your princess is insane!” Gabrielus said in anger.

 

“You are basilisk my friend and Wen is a mixed tigress. Your blood infuses my princess with your venom which causes her to act off kilter.” Guang said as he began to mix some herbs.

 

“My babe is hurting her?” Gabrielus asked concerned.

 

“Not hurting her but making her act nuts.” Guang chuckled.

 

“Oh well that is just so much better then sick.” Ling said sarcastically.

 

“Bring Wen to me Prince Ling. She is as stubborn as my boy Quon was.” The old tiger said smiling.

 

“Yes that she is. I will be right back.” Ling said.

 

“Wen cannot freeze him.” Guang explained.

 

Gabrielus nodded and he was falling in love with her. They had violent fights that ended up with the most incredible love making. He was desperate to claim her totally but she was pushing him away. It was making him beyond incensed. Amedeo told him how wonderful his son was and he was amazed that he did not need the sun directly like they did. Guang grabbed his wrist and automatically made his venom come to the surface of his claws. He was surprised but he was mixing what smelled like anti-venom. Guang worked quickly and Wen was dragged back by Ling. She was mad and Guang made her drink the foul brew. She choked on it and sputtered as she coughed.

 

“What the hell was that old man?” She demanded.

 

“Anti-venom cub now quit acting insane.” Guang commanded.

 

“Whatever!” She growled.

 

“You know damn well your Ba would beat you child. You know damn well you would not speak to your elders as such.” Guang growled back.

 

She jumped up and left. Gabrielus got up as well and followed her. He yelled at her in Latin and she ignored him. He finally caught up with her and he slammed her against a door. She leaned forward and kissed him brutally. He responded and she opened the handle of the door. The fell in and she began stripping his clothes. His eyes closed as she began nipping down his neck.

 

“Wen, femmina what is going on?” He managed to ask.

 

“We have great sex right?” She asked.

 

“Why do you insist on being such an ass to me? What have I done femmina?” He demanded.

 

“I do not want to be tied to you. I do not wish to be exclusive.” She said flatly.

 

“Really? You really have no wish to be tied to the father of your child?” He asked in sudden fury.

 

“No. I wish for my freedom. I will not be tied to a man who will not give me a damn thing!” She yelled.

 

“You still demand to know my past? What exactly do you want femmina? What sordid history do you want to know? You want to know my beginnings or what? Why do I have to relive it?” He asked in a raised voice.

 

“Because I would give you my all but you will not give me yours. This is the modern era and I have no need of a man who refuses to share himself with his MATE!” She said suddenly sobbing.

 

“Why is now not enough? Why am I not enough as I am now? What does my past have to do with the man before you femmina?” He demanded.

 

“Why is it wrong to wish to know you? I am supposed to be your mate but we both know you want this child and not me! Get away from me.” She said shoving him away.

 

He watched her port away and he was exasperated. He was tired of arguing with her and they had been together for damn near two months. He saw Wenling and she shook her head.

 

“You know she saw our parents. Our mother was not exclusive but we cubs knew how much they meant to each other. My Haha and Ba were together for nearly four centuries. They were passionate about the other. That is all she wants.” Wenling said as she walked away.

 

Gabrielus was shaking and he caught up with Wenling. He whirled her around and she stared at him.

 

“Where would she go?” He demanded.

 

“Our Ba's tomb in the West.” She said softly.

 

He nodded and he phased out to the tomb mentioned. He recognized it and she was sitting in front of a wall that held what he had come to know as kanji. She had been crying and she looked up at him.

 

“I was the natural born son of a slave femmina. My adopted father could not get his wife and my adopted materna to conceive. I was taken from my materna and she was put to death for trying to stop them. My parents loved me but I felt shame for my real materna's death. I was exotic to the black basilisk because I was nothing like them. I have no shame and I freely admit that I liked both femmina and men but the black basilisk were more traditional. I had to prove myself over and over that I was just as good or better. When Amedeo was but still a prince, I entered the army. I made my father proud with my prowess with a sword. I proved myself worthy of his lands and title. He overlooked my tendencies and I kept my lovers discreet.” He said sighing.

 

She just stared up at him and he sat next to her.

 

“Amedeo came to power when his father, Aldaricus Gnaeus Servius was killed in battle. He noticed me and we became good friends. He was best friends with his second cousin; Adrastus Balius Agrippa. We became the whores of our court. Our rex was handsome and young. He was quite wild and he encouraged us to be ourselves. Amedeo was very open minded about everything. He was powerful on the battle field and kind to his people. He was also very popular with the femmina. I know of three children he sired before he met Valentina. He was good to them but honestly did not pay them much mind. When he met Valentina; he became wholly devoted to her. It was about the same time I met Josephina. I have done many things femmina. I was merciless on the battlefield and active in the bedroom. I was not cruel to any except my enemies and I was truly a whore until I met her. Josephina was uppyr. By my Gods I loved her. I married her right away and I was the same way that Amedeo was with Valentina. I met her along the Alps and I took her; I mean I stole her from her home. That was a common practice back then but I made amor to her that first night and I married her the second. We were married two years when she conceived my son. He would not come and there was so much blood. I begged my Gods. I begged them to take me and spare my wife and babe but they did not. She died whilst I begged them and my son had to be cut from her dead body. He too was dead of course. He had been strangled by his own cord. I was responsible for her death and that of my materna. Now you know.” He said looking away.

 

“What happened to Valerian?” She asked in a small voice.

 

“Valerian was my vice general. We kept our amor to ourselves. He fell next to me in battle saving my life from a red basilisk. You really wish to know of him?” He demanded.

 

“Yes.” She nodded.

 

“He had black hair and very dark red eyes. He was beautiful Wen. He was very good in all things. I beat him out for the title of general. He was angry with me and he confronted me. I being me was infatuated with him. We became very drunk and he admitted that he found me attractive. We became involved and I loved him very much. Now Wen that is my story. You know how my people were destroyed; the wyvern stormed Latium one day and they had joined the red basilisk and some European dragons. They swept in like a pestilence. It had been a festival day and they knew it. We were like lambs to the slaughter. Amedeo never forgave himself and those of us left went after those that had destroyed our lives. I learned to enjoy killing. When our numbers dwindled Amedeo commanded us into hibernation. He said we would become stronger as we slept; he was right of course but it was another way of coping with the pain of our losses. I have no wish to rehash this history anymore. I have no wish to delve into such pain. I want to look forward to something again femmina. Your materna gave my rex a son. He is in such shock but unbelievably happy. I want to be happy.” He said sighing.

 

“Can you be happy with me?” Wen asked in a weak voice.

 

“Si. I can be happy with you. You make me so insane in so many ways. I see you sleep and I see you in the throes of our amor. I feel perfection with you and I want to see our child so badly but you will not accept that this can be good.” He said looking down.

 

“You have been unwilling to trust me. You would not give me yourself.” She said taking his hands.

 

“Now you have my story, do with it what you will.” He said standing.

 

“You leave?” She asked in a pained voice.

 

“I wish to be alone at the moment femmina. I am remembering too much. I suppose I will see you when I see you. If you wish to undo our bond then so be it. I have no wish to be tied to someone who so obviously cannot handle who I am. I told you I did not wish to delve and you have insisted that I do this as some sort of proof. You know and now I feel worse. Goodbye.” He said phasing away.

 

Wen looked at the spot where he had stood and she began sobbing. She loved him but she had so desperately tried to reach him. She kept thinking maybe he was right but she knew better. She stood up and she tried to feel him through the bond they shared. He was in Tokyo and she ported to his side. He looked furious at the intrusion and she fell against him and kissed him desperately. He ended up responding and his hands became tangled in her hair. Their lips were moving urgently as their hands ended up taking off of their clothes. Wen pushed him into a sitting position and she slid down him. He moaned heavily as she continued to kiss and move against him. Their bodies became slick quickly as they moved hurriedly. He was lost in their joining and they were desperate. He realized she was giving all of herself to him and he accepted it.

 

“Wen! Oh Gods si my love!” He said as she bit into his neck.

 

She moaned against his neck and his blood made her gone in her beast. He gripped her tightly as she tightened around him. He stroked his mating marks on her hips with his claws and she yelped out as another completion ripped through her. They were both shaking and Gabrielus laid them back. Her eyes were heavy but he was struggling to stay awake.

 

“I need to love you and I do but I want happiness. I have earned happiness.” He said as his eyes slowly closed.

 

“I love you too but I have wanted all of you.” She said crying a little.

 

“I have given everything I can give Wen. You carry half of me within you.” He murmured softly.

 

She nodded and he pulled her flush to him and they fell asleep. Gabrielus prayed for once that he could have what he wanted. He prayed he did not loose another femmina he loved.

Etsuko was laughing so hard at Adrastus's face as he tried sea urchin. He politely swallowed it and he choked a little. She poured him a little sake and he downed it.

 

“Thank you femmina.” He said wiping tears from his eyes.

 

“Urchin is a delicacy my friend.” Etsuko snickered.

 

“I prefer red meat if truth be told.” He laughed.

 

“You look in a slightly better mood.” She said.

 

“Your materna made my rex a father.” Adrastus stated lightly.

 

“Really? She said nothing!” She cried.

 

“She apparently did not know.” He smiled.

 

Etsuko sat back in her seat and she was shocked. She watched him and they had become close companions. He never acted anything other then a gentleman and Etsuko was seriously pissed off at her sister. Adrastus sipped his sake and he was getting too drunk. This femmina was easy to talk to and they had become friends. He was also shocked to find out that she was an excellent swordsman. He was further shocked to find out that her mother had bitten her to also insure that her life was extended. She had mild uppyr abilities but without the blood lust. She noticed his state and she stood up.

 

“I cannot port despite the nifty stuff that Haha passed onto me.” She said softly.

 

“I will transport us. You are a delight Etsuko and I thank you for your lovely conversation.” He said smiling sloppily.

 

He phased them from the youkai restaurant to his apartment and the place was dark. He could sense Gabrielus and Wen in the other room but Amedeo was probably still at the hospital. He walked to the side board and poured himself some red wine. He drained it slowly and he was still very bitter. He felt like a fool and he knew why she had chosen her husband. He knew she loved the man. He also knew that she cared for him but it was not enough. Etsuko was still behind him and he looked over his shoulder.

 

“I will okay femmina. Normally it is the femmina with a broken heart.” He said trying to laugh.

 

Etsuko sighed and he slipped away. He went to his room and his head was spinning. He was happy for Gabrielus and Amedeo; he was also jealous but he kept his feelings to himself. He stripped out of his shirt and began to undo his trousers. He intended to lie in the sun bed and pass out. He felt her small hands on his flat belly and he sucked in his breath. He leaned his head back and sighed as her hands drifted lower. She was saying nothing as her fingers ghosted his skin. His mind was a mess and he tried to clear his thoughts.

 

“Etsuko, I have no wish to use you femmina.” He said softly.

 

“Do not speak.” She commanded softly.

 

“Etsuko, I do not need pity.” He said flatly.

 

“I do not have pity for you.” She said in a hiss.

 

She moved around him and pulled him to meet her lips. He had to be honest with himself and he wanted to not think at all. Her kiss was surprising and he groaned. She was exploring him fully and she was leaving him breathless. His mind became clouded quickly and her wicked lips began nipping his neck. He felt her blunter human teeth and they were doing such things without breaking his flesh. She yanked on one flat nipple with those teeth and he rasped heavily.

 

“Femmina. This is too much. You are lovely and this is wonderful” He murmured.

 

“Adrastus please let me do what I want. Let me have a gorgeous man.” She said in a temper.

 

“Si.” He nodded.

 

Her attentions became insistent and she nipped his belly. Adrastus had a feeling what she would do and he was about to say no but she took him in her mouth. His eyes rolled back and she expertly kept the pressure perfect and he felt her tongue swipe around the head over and over. His breathing was uneven and he felt almost faint. He realized he should not have drunk so much. Her attentions were heavenly and got him right to where he would explode. She was dragging her blunt teeth along his girth slightly and he was amazed at the sensations. He thought she would pull back but she did not. He cried out in Latin as he came and she stared at him. The sight was salacious and he groaned out. She slowly withdrew from him and she lightly kissed his mouth.

 

“Your skin is a little cold. Why not lay down?” She asked softly.

 

“Si.” He nodded sluggishly.

 

He finished stepping out of his pants and he lay down on the bed. She stripped out of her black sweater dress and slipped in beside him. She still wore a black chemise but she kept it on.

 

“Femmina please let me touch you.” He said in a whisper.

 

“No. I want you to rest. Please let me do this.” She whispered back.

 

Adrastus was floored. Never had just been pleasured and not at least returned the favor. It seemed rude to him and he was not accustomed to it. She kept her body close to him and her warmth felt wonderful. He let sleep take him and he was surrounded by her comfort. Etsuko was not asleep and she was so angry at Yuzuna for leading him on. Her sister was as sweet as could be but she hated messy, emotional conflict. The onna could face down an enemy on a battlefield and not flinch but have to face her emotions, she became a coward. She was shocked that Yuzuna had remained in this marriage as long as she had. She had a tendency to break hearts all over the place. She could smell him a little better then most ningen and he smelled so good. She had not been in a relationship for damn near thirty years. She wished sometimes that her mother had let her live a normal lifespan. No one said a word because she was one of the daughters of Lady Asuna Orlovich; no one would dare. Back when she was small and she was named a princess of the West, someone on the council had dared spit at her. Her mother damn neared killed the inu in question. She had never been treated as a ningen and her mother reminded her that she was not mortal anymore. She sighed and adored her Haha. She did not remember her life before she became royalty. She pressed her lips to his shoulder and he did not stir. She smiled and he was pretty drunk. She slipped out from against him and she carefully laid him on his back. His black hair was still long and he had a defined brow and strong chin. His skin was smooth and his lips were full. She leaned over him and kissed his lips softly. She knew herself and she would feel bad but she slipped out of her chemise and pulled off her thong. He was still asleep heavily. She could bite with her slightly pointed canine teeth but she held off on it. She kept her ministrations gentle and brushed her fingertips along his nakedness. He shifted in his sleep and a soft moan escaped him. He was semi erect and she took a deep breath and straddled him. She slid down him slowly. His face contorted in his barely awake state. She shifted her hips and that did wake him up. He cried out softly and he stared at her. Her heat was incredibly tight and he was rasping. His muddled mind was trying to register why she should feel this wonderful.

 

“Femmina! You are so tight.” He said barely able to talk.

 

“I am?” She asked barely able to talk herself.

 

“Etsuko too much. Please femmina move.” He begged.

 

“Adrastus I need to adjust.” She tried to explain.

 

“How many lovers have you had?” He asked trying to breathe.

 

“Just the one.” She admitted.

 

“What?” He asked shocked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded and then moaned softly.

 

He had to roll them and he very slowly pulled back. Her gasp startled him. It was not one of pain but pleasure. He was fighting from taking her hard and his primitive self was straining to break free.

 

“Beautiful femmina I am unworthy of this gift.” He moaned against her neck.

 

“Shall I not be the one to choose?” She asked.

 

“Why did you materna tear you away from the daemon?” He asked calming his beating heart.

 

“He raped me. I was scared and nervous I guess and I was not quick enough.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“Oh my Gods.” He said horrified.

 

He felt crushing guilt and he slowly pulled out of her. He leaned over her and gently kissed her. She was something and her response was so passionate and innocent. He laid beside her threaded his fingers in her hair and kissed her with conviction. If a daemon harmed her then he would show her what it could be. Her responses were causing him to loose it but he forced himself to slow down. He slowly withdrew from her lips and began kissing down her neck. He ended up cupping both of her breasts and he lightly nipped each tip. He took one in his mouth and laved his tongue. Etsuko whimpered softly and he kept everything gentle. He was bordering on crazed but he kept himself in check. Adrastus began nipping down her belly and he reached her black curls. He was feeling instinct crushing him and he dipped his tongue in between her lips. Etsuko was moaning and twisting on the sheets. He held her hips steady and slowly suckled her clit. Her face betrayed the immensity of what she was feeling and she groaned louder.

 

“Please Adrastus. Please.” She begged.

 

“Thank the Gods.” He murmured.

 

He pulled her down by her bottom and he cautiously reentered her. Etsuko arched hard as he moved within her. She felt beyond good. She felt beyond perfect as she moaned and begged. Her hands were grasping at his back and she was feeling his natural power.

 

“Hold on if you need my darling. You cannot hurt me.” He said in her ear.

 

“I…” She tried to say.

 

Her blunt nails dug into his skin and he made a noise. It did not hurt in the least and it made him feel all the more protective of her. The tightening in her belly became taut and she fell. He snarled out as she squeezed him with her sheath. He crashed his lips against hers as his body responded with ferocity. His release left him blinded and utterly drained. Their two bodies experienced pleasurable spasms together and he kissed her through his completion. He finally fell back a little and she looked at him.

 

“Adrastus that was, I mean that was so beautiful.” She said with a trembling voice.

 

“Femmina you did not have to do this.” He whispered.

 

“I wanted to. I wanted this with you.” She admitted.

 

“Etsuko you are so amazing. I am not worthy of such goodness.” He said leaning over her.

 

“Hai you are. Can you do that again?” She asked timidly.

 

“Si. You do not drain me fully.” He said smiling.

 

“I really do not have uppyr blood.” She said tracing his lips with her fingers.

 

“I cannot keep using you Etsuko. I do not use femmina like this.” He said softly.

 

“Then do not use me. Let us see how this works. Let us be open and talk about things.” She said softly as she traced his lips more.

 

“Femmina you are so beautiful.” He said watching her.

 

“Not as pretty as Yuzuna but I manage.” She smiled.

 

“She is beautiful but you are more so. You are so open and honest.” He said softly kissing her.

 

“She is not bad. She just learned to hate emotional messes. In her defense she was there when her sire was murdered. It is has been said she kept trying to put his intestines back in his body. Yuuta adored her. It was horrid how he died.” She said turning her head.

 

“You are good to defend her and I do not hate her. I chose to give into my attraction knowing her heart. I was a fool and I admit this. You are not tied and I am not tied. I would like to try and have a normal relationship without the drama.” He sighed.

 

“I am sorry you woke up to such a strange world.” Etsuko said pulling him down to her lips.

 

He realized of how stupid he had been. This femmina was amazing and she was obviously wanted him. He also realized that this could be the start of something amazing. He rolled her to her belly and lifted her hips. He joined with her and Etsuko was simmering in the amazing passion she was feeling. It was not just that he felt incredible; it was that this man was incredible. She ended up screaming out as she was overtaken in pure bliss. Adrastus could not make head or tails of anything and he yelped out as he held onto her tightly.

 

“Etsuko, femmina I need…I need.” He gasped as he was overwhelmed.

 

“What do you need?” She asked.

 

He sank his fangs near her juncture and she thought it would hurt but she moaned heavily. He released her throat and he was rasping in her ear.

 

“Forgive me.” He begged.

 

“What? What are you doing?” She asked.

 

“My instincts are tearing me up. I need to feed.” He said pulling away.

 

She watched him and his eyes looked strange. He made a strange noise and he was instantly between her thighs. He was growling and moaning as he tasted her center. Her eyes widened at his actions and she gasped more and she arched her hips. Adrastus was wild at the moment and he continued to thrust his tongue.

 

“Hai Adrastus. Do whatever, please!” She cried out.

 

She felt claws on her hips and she met his purely reptilian eyes. He had been taken over by his primitive nature and she watched in fascination and she felt nothing. She was totally enthralled with his gaze and he leaned down and kissed her ferociously. Adrastus had too much to drink and too much sensation as he pulled away from her lips. He cut his own neck with his claws and he guided her lips to the gaping wound. He moaned in ecstasy as she took his blood in. The way she licked and sucked on it and he snarled out. Adrastus collapsed and he held onto her possessively.

 

“Sorry. I am so sorry.” He whispered unable to move.

 

“Did we do what I thought we did?” Etsuko asked in a very soft voice.

 

“Si femmina. I am sorry. I am so sorry.” He said trying to sleep.

 

“No apologies. Can you phase to your sunbed?” She asked.

 

“Si.” He said holding onto her and he phased them both.

 

Etsuko grabbed a robe and she helped him lay out on the flat bed. She closed the lid and he would probably sleep for at least an hour in it. She stood up and turned to see Gabrielus. She blushed and he watched her closely.

 

“Thank you femmina.” He murmured.

 

“For what?” She asked stunned.

 

“For making him move on. You are good for him. Good night.” He said slipping into his own room.

 

Etsuko was stunned to her core at what she had allowed to happen. His style of love making was different from the other youkai she had been mated to. This man was good and he was about partnerships. She sat down in front of the sun bed and it her how much she just complicated her life but she would not let Yuzuna hurt him anymore.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna, Amedeo, and Tekeshi were all in her penthouse eating a meal and she was rocking a cradle with Hana and Justinus in it. Amedeo was laughing hard as Tekeshi described some battle that ended well but was a comedy of errors. Asuna blushed and her basilisk lover was in a merry mood.

 

“Well femmina it is heartening to know that you have not always been the bad ass you seem now.” He smirked at her.

 

“She has always been a bad ass. Even when she did not have her yoki mastered she had big balls and a loud voice. I have seen the onna tell off so many males twice her size and supposedly stronger.” Tekeshi laughed.

 

“Well you are something.” He smirked.

 

“Well I shall have to tell you how Tekeshi managed a state. He was cut out for being a father and not a lord.” Asuna said making a face.

 

“Too true. I have not the temperament to be a lord. I taught my oldest son sums and reading myself. I hated leaving him with a nanny. My other boys; Changming, Geming, and Hwan, I did the same. Little Hana here will be taught by me this time.” He said watching her as she slept.

 

“She is a truly beautiful little femmina.” Amedeo smiled as he sipped wine.

 

Tekeshi yawned and he neared Asuna. He smirked at the basilisk king and he kissed her deeply. He slipped from the room and she blushed. Amedeo looked heated and he adored the cane. He was glad to count him as a friend. Amedeo stood and knelt near her.

 

“Marry me.” He said softly.

 

“Amedeo I do not marry anymore.” She said smiling.

 

“Why should I be from you? You bore me a son and by Latium laws you would be my wife anyway.” He said kissing her knuckles.

 

“I love you but marriage is not something I do. I married Quon back in the day because it was to cement an official alliance between Hunan and the West. I am still officially married to Eyal but that was something instituted long ago.” She shrugged.

 

“I wish for my son to have us official. Asuna please femmina.” He said lightly placing soft nips on her palms and wrists.

 

“No marriage but I will say hai to your mark.” She said softly.

 

He looked angry but sighed instead. He stood up and went to the window.

 

“Valentina carried my mark and married me according to our laws.” He said softly.

 

“I am not Valentina.” She said standing.

 

“Asuna, I know who and what you are. Why should it matter? I hold no one any ill nor do they feel that way towards me. Your uppyr king is quite the man and I enjoy his company! Why should I not be apart of this now that I am here and you have birthed me a son?” He asked.

 

“Because it would mean that what I feel is not given to others that I love and value.” She said standing.

 

“I see. Pardon me then. Good night my beloved son.” He said lowering his lips to the tiny forehead.

 

Amedeo was fixing to leave and he saw her stand. Her face was clouded in fury and he turned to see a moth daemon.

 

“Kenomaru why are you here?” She demanded.

 

“Saaya will not speak with me.” He said growling.

 

“That is not my problem. Unlike you; I do not speak ill of you around her.” Asuna snapped.

 

“Make one more move lizard and you will be skewered.” Kenomaru said in anger.

 

“Do not speak to anyone in my home in such a way ga! Amedeo would you please take Justinus and Hana to your home?” She asked tensely.

 

“Si. If I find her in a pool of blood then I will make it my mission to destroy you insect.” Amedeo said picking up his son and his twin.

 

Amedeo phased out with them and Kenomaru paced near the window. His long jade hair was pulled back in a high pony tail and he wore only a loose pein-fu and ku in black. He narrowed his blue eyes and watched her.

 

“Your choice in lovers gets more colorful. A basilisk? They are very few in number nowadays. I see you also birthed him a child. Very good for him. Does he know what a back stabbing whore you are?” He demanded.

 

“Leave my home. Leave my life! I know you know the truth and I gleaned it from her mind. You used me to beget a child. You are more crafty then I gave you credit for. I never figured you would use your own brother in such a way but ga are infamous for such things. You raised her and left me out. You got your way and if you get anger from her then so be it! You have earned it all.” She said frigidly.

 

He was in front of her in a second and he grabbed her jaw in a brutal grip. She yelped in pain a little as her jaw cracked in his grasp.

 

“I am not weak Asuna. My kind is some of the most powerful taiyoukai there have been or will be. You like to stomp around and act superior but you are not! I loved you! I LOVED YOU!” He snarled.

 

“Get out! Get the fuck out!” She screamed at him.

 

“You know when I realized that Menomaru had fallen under your spell; I realized the only way to get what I wanted was to manipulate you both. You both are so full of yourself. You arrogant whore! Saaya will not be kept from me. I am the one that cared for her.” He said severely.

 

“I am not keeping her from you. I am not manipulating her like you have me. Get out of my life forever. Never show yourself to me again. I hate you and your blasted brother so much and I only wish that I had finished what I started at the Tree of Ages.” She screamed.

 

“Like your soul brother? Arrogant fucking dog! You are nothing but a good brood mare.” He said coldly.

 

She pushed down her fury and her pain. She reacted and did not think. She flung a nami at him and it smashed him through the wall into her bedroom. He was bloodied and bruised and he stared at her in a little bit of surprise.

 

“So it is true. You really were that spider bitch.” He said in shock.

 

“Get out!” She snarled.

 

She held out her hand and her cell phone flew into it. She pushed a button and she spoke in funnel. Kenomaru watched her and suddenly a recluse kumo appeared. Bihua grinned widely and Kenomaru was not stupid. The recluse were vicious and cruel fighters.

 

“I will not say it again. Leave and never show your face. You hold so little respect for me then so be it. Do not suffer my presence. Lord Bihua will you please see to it that he leaves? I have newborns to feed.” She said walking away.

 

Kenomaru ported out and he waited for a minute. He appeared behind her in the hall and he grabbed her around the neck. He ported them away and he shoved her away from him. They were in one of his many cocoon cities. Kenomaru really had no clue as to why he wanted to make her suffer but he did.

 

“You are so full of it Asuna! Gods you think I would do as you say?” He demanded.

 

“Why do you insist on this? Was it not enough that Menomaru stabbed me? Was it not enough you used me and then shut me out of Saaya's life? I did not pursue you! You pursued me bastard.” She growled.

 

“I fancied myself drawn to you. I was a fool but you are incredible to look at. You have beautiful breasts and a delicious backside. Wholly male and your assets are perfect for a whore.” He said crossing his arms.

 

Bitterness erupted in her gut and she slapped him. He grabbed her wrists and he exerted enough pressure to make her yelp. Tears streamed down her face and she choked back sobs.

 

“Leave me alone! Let us have some peace please Kenomaru! It is obvious you hate me and I am tired of feeling the anger and pain. I am tired of feeling anything for you.” She stated wiping her face.

 

His chest heaved and he slammed her against the wall.

 

“Do you know why I feel this? Do you remember the battle where Magatushi attacked you at Sendai? I was injured far worse then I thought. I paid for taking the Shikon no Tama but you never once asked me what I wanted. You never asked me if I wanted a child. You made the decision for me and you gleefully gave those kumo bastards anything they wanted but you brushed me aside. Menomaru wanted you and I wanted just a small bit of you. I could never have you all to myself and by the Gods what I did get was only when you had time. I was the biggest fool to give you anything but by the Gods I would have something from my misery and so yes I threw you two at the other. You proved what a faithless whore you really were and slept with my brother.” He snarled in her face.

 

“Leave me alone. You have won Kenomaru. You won. You got your way. You wished me to suffer and so I suffered. You win.” She said with sadness crushing her.

 

He was full of hatred and he ended up ripping her shirt open. She snarled at him and he burned her with his silk.

 

“Stop! I will not allow you!” She hissed.

 

“Cannot rape a whore Asuna. You give your wiles so freely.” He sneered.

 

She screamed and struggled and suddenly Kenomaru's face blanched. Asuna's eyes widened and Lei stood behind Kenomaru with his hand phased into his chest.

 

“You touch her again and I will slice your heart in half with my claws. How dare you touch her.” He sneered.

 

“Lei let him go.” Asuna whispered.

 

“You will come with me now!” He snarled at her.

 

She nodded and Lei threw him from them. He fell to the floor and blood pooled around him. Lei grabbed her and phased into Hadasan. He laid her back and she had purplish bruises forming on her neck and wrists. Her mandible was cracked and he was angry.

 

“Why did you allow this?” He demanded.

 

“I loved him at one time.” She said as tears fell.

 

“Idiot.” He snapped.

 

“Lei please not right now.” She said wiping away her tears.

 

He felt her belly and she was no longer pregnant. Lei tipped her head back and stared at her beautiful eyes.

 

“I have a very evil temper. What I deem as mine then I will kill for it do you understand that? We bound ourselves. You have turned me into your slave.” He whispered softly.

 

“Not right now Lei. I know you feel territorial over your lovers. I know this about you.” She sighed.

 

“Lover. I have not been engaging others.” He said honestly.

 

“You should not narrow yourself. You deny yourself for no reason.” She said looking away.

 

“Now you tell me that? Shall I take another male for your pleasure? I will do it. I will please you.” He said in a sultry tone.

 

“I am feeling wretched at the moment.” She said in anguish.

 

“I feel it. I try to allow you to deal with your own issues but I have to step in when I cannot take it. I have no idea how Hanaj handles it. I cannot handle it when you are in pain.” He said brushing his lips against her bruised neck.

 

“Oh!” She squeaked as his tongue ran along her veins.

 

“You need healing. Drink from me.” He commanded.

 

He guided her fangs to his neck and she sank them in. He sank his own fangs into hers and she gasped against his throat. It was almost the same as the traditional sixty-nine position. He could feel her growls reverberate against his throat and it was so damn erotic. He felt supreme hatred of the ga and he was feeling none too pleased with the rest of his brethren Shouten. She released his throat and he was painfully erect. He intended to get into his bed and relieve himself. She turned herself in his arms and they still stood. She released her slim skirt and she pushed back against his clothed thigh. He got the idea and undid his linen bottoms. He buried himself in her and he ended up nuzzling her neck.

 

“This is what I want. This here is what I crave. When we join it feels like a paradise. You have become apart of my being and I will destroy whatever I have to keep my soul intact.” He said growling harshly in her ear.

 

“Hai. What are you doing?” She asked shaking in his grasp.

 

“I am a shape shifting entity. It takes so much energy but this will be worth it.” He said tipping her head so he could kiss her.

 

Her eyes rolled back and he barely shifted her against him and pleasure exploded in her brain. She heard him beginning to hypervenelate and it was causing them untold joys. She felt something erupt in her inner being and he was somehow making this a spiritual joining as well as physical. Her eyes were red and she was verging on collapse. He held her up and he was experiencing something so different.

 

“I love you. Damnit, I love you so much.” He said in a wounded tone.

 

-Hai. Lei what is this? - She pathed.

 

“Not sure.” He answered in voice.

 

Lei was loosing his cohesion and he realized he was dragging her into the other plane; except it was strictly her astral self and he was stunned to his core. He gripped her tightly and it fully occurred to him what it was that was happening. She could join him fully in a wraith joining and he was floored. He immediately became one in every sense of the word and they were lost to the outside world. He became corporeal after a bit and he had to hold onto her as they were shaking in the sublime. He laid them down and he was trembling. If he had a clue it could be like this then he would have taken her back in the past. Thoughts of doing so made him regret ever hating her. She was asleep and thoughts of killing the ga made him happy and he passed out beside her.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was awake and she was watching Lei sleep. He was still an enigma to her but she truly liked him. She kissed his chest and he woke instantly.

 

“Good morning.” She said softly.

 

“Morning. Are you better?” He asked.

 

“Hai. Forget what you saw. I am only bitter about that relationship.” She sighed.

 

“What happened?” He demanded.

 

“Kenomaru stole the Shikon no Tama back when I was fairly young. He was trying to draw out my Uncle Inuyasha for killing his twin; Menomaru. I had fought him forty years before right around my eighties. He said he was attracted to me and maybe he was but he pursued and I stupidly gave in. He hated Naraku and Ishin with a passion and I kept my relationship a huge secret from them both. Well he maneuvered me and his twin to have an affair so I would conceive. Well I did and I had Saaya. As soon as she was born, he took her from the birthing room and it was years before I saw her again. I have been hateful and very, very bitter about the whole ordeal. He was angry at me for not leaving Ishin and Naraku when he saw them as inferior. He figured he could draw me away from them and I never did.” She said with eyes closed.

 

Lei watched her face and he knew how much she loved the two soul brothers. He felt how much she cared about those two and he could freely admit how beautiful they were. She snuggled close to him and he ran his hand through her silver hair. He let her fall back asleep and he felt that this was worth it. A wicked grin passed his lips and he phased out. He had opened her thighs and slowly licked her clit. She ended up screaming and he was most pleased. She finally returned to Tokyo and she slipped into the shower. She was under the hot water and was pressed chest first against the shower stall. She was snarling and growling in fury. Kenomaru was behind her and he turned her.

 

“You think one small wound will hurt me?” He said in a low voice.

 

“You are persistent ga. Go fuck yourself.” She snarled.

 

“No.” He said and his manner was gentle.

 

He was naked and she tried to not peruse his body. She gulped and he smirked a little at her.

 

“You never had to tell me that you thought me impressive.” He said in her ear.

 

“Arrogant bastard!” She said in a hiss.

 

“Maybe. Yes there you are. Do you know how long I have wanted to do this? I have wanted to stretch you open and fill you until you cannot breathe.” He asked in her ear.

 

“You think I still want you?” She sneered.

 

“I think you still love despite our anger. I know I still love you but I hate you as well.” He breathed heavily.

 

He eased himself inside of her and she choked. She quivered around him and he was shuddering as well. He kept her pinned and did not move.

 

“Asuna. I have loved you since you tried to take me down at the Tree of Ages. When I realized that you would continue to shelter me away and deny me. You hurt me terribly.” He said hoarsely.

 

“I was protecting you!” She growled.

 

“No you were protecting yourself. Do not lie to me Asuna. You did not want to loose your precious Naraku and Ishin. You did not want them to think I tainted you. You hid out in Mongolia to avoid any issue when you were pregnant with Saaya. The only time I got to spend real time with you was when you were being a coward.” He snarled.

 

He was punishing her and she closed her eyes. She held in her anger and pain.

 

“Get out of me. Stay away from me. You have done nothing but demand. You are the one who demanded and took. I gave in and I thought I was protecting you but you saw it as betrayal.” She said coldly.

 

“You always proved my point that dogs were treacherous and unyielding. Arrogant beasts!” He snapped.

 

He jerked himself back and she whimpered a little. He turned her shower off and he pulled her to him. He actually ported the short distance from the bathroom to her bed. He did not care and he wanted her. He wanted to be one with her. He fell on her and slid back in. He angled her hip as he moved with urgency. She whined in the pleasure of it and hated herself for enjoying it. He tried to kiss her and she refused. He was angry and he was still deeply in love with her. He made her look at him and he smirked at her.

 

“You deny me still? You deny me your soul?” He snapped.

 

“I am a whore correct? Get your jollies and get out!” She said as her eyes blazed.

 

Kenomaru was surprised at her words and he held her head firm. He kissed her brutally and she ended up biting his tongue but he kept thrusting his tongue and tasting her. She began mewling into it and he thrust sharply. He knew her and she would shatter. He did not release her lips and she released a muffled cry as she squeezed his member tightly in her climax. He followed suit and he buried his nose in her neck. He remained still as he calmed down.

 

“Get out. I hate you.” She growled low in her throat.

 

“Yet you love how I make you feel. Sure thing sweet heart. If you see my daughter tell her I want to talk to her.” He snapped.

 

She waited for him to dress and he left. She gathered her sheets and blankets around her and felt dirty. She jumped up and took a shower quickly. She checked the time and Amedeo would still be asleep. She ported into his room and he was passed out. She crawled into bed with him and he came to a little.

 

“Ask me again.” She said softly.

 

“Marry me.” He said sleepily.

 

“Hai.” She said threading her fingers in his hair.

 

“Femmina what happened?” He asked groggily.

 

“Realizing what an idiot I would be if I let you away from me.” She said massaging his scalp.

 

“I see. That is a good reason.” He smirked.

 

“I was surprised that I gave you a child but I love him so much and I love you too.” She said kissing his sensuous lips.

 

“I was surprised as well but you have made me the happiest I have ever been. I loved Valentina so much but I love you as much too.” He said seriously.

 

“It will never be okay what Drostan did to her or your babes but perhaps we can change what can be changed. Maybe Justinus may know his siblings.” She said passionately.

 

“That was so long ago and I want to focus on you two.” He said softly.

 

She said nothing else and she shut out her pain of the ga lord and made herself focus on Amedeo.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was reading about wyverns and basilisks again to see if she could glean any secrets. Amedeo was passed out beside her and she was typing on her laptop. She was still feeling fury at Kenomaru and she was of the mind of injuring him very badly in the past. She read about the myth that was Amedeo Servius. She smiled and he had been worshipped by the ningen as a pagan kami in the time of the Romans. She looked over at his nude form and she decided that she would have been pregnant twenty four seven with his little ones. She would not leave his bed. She saw his line of black scales go down his back and wrap around his hips. His skin was golden now from all the sunning he did and the sun bed. She touched a buttock and he stirred under her gaze.

 

“You are awake early.” He muttered.

 

“Hai. I was perusing your naked form and thinking of ways of torturing you. Did you know that the Romans worshiped your memory as some sort of pagan sex kami?” She asked amused.

 

“Si. They were ridiculous but they were my people in a way.” He laughed lightly.

 

“I worship you.” Asuna smirked.

 

“That makes me happy but let me see, as a god I must have commandments and sacrifices.” Amedeo teased.

 

“What shall I sacrifice my king?” She asked laughing.

 

“I need your body.” He said as if serious.

 

“I love you my sexy, beautiful, and mighty basilisk king.” She murmured as she kissed him.

 

He held her face as he responded wholly to her kiss. Their bodies were pressed together and he was needy within moments. They made love slowly and he shouted out as he finished. Amedeo was immersed in his new family and he could not imagine being happier. She went back to reading about him and his enemies. Justinus woke up and she went to him. He was gaining weight and he slept next to Hana at all times. He stared up at her with her eye color but they looked like Amedeo's. She felt the basilisk behind her and he kissed her shoulder.

 

“Valentina would have thought him beautiful.” He murmured.

 

“I wish I could meet your first wife.” She said softly.

 

“I am telling you that Valentina would have made you ours. She was very open minded about many things. If I had shown even an ounce of interest in you then she would have made you ours.” He chuckled.

 

“How charming.” She smiled.

 

“Si. My son you are perfect and your materna is beautiful but this reptile needs his sun bed. I think my tan faded in the night.” He laughed.

 

She smiled as she watched him walk from the room. Asuna looked down at her son and Hana was sucking her thumb. She smiled at the sight and Tekeshi was sleeping on the couch. She adored her green eyed mate and she picked up Hana carefully. She went to the living room and sat on Tekeshi. He grunted in his sleep and opened a green eye.

 

“Aijou I was enjoying a nice dream.” He complained.

 

“Hold your daughter so I may feed her brother and then you can hold him whilst I feed her.” She smirked.

 

“Hai. Slave driver.” He teased.

 

She smiled widely as she situated Justinus. He automatically began nursing and she felt such peace at the moment. She needed to return to Sendai and see to her other little ones and she was determined to have some time for her body to be normal. She looked over at her basilisk and her inu and she was thrilled.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Raganos was still in such tremendous pain and he feared for his life. The wounds were infected and no matter what his healers did, there was nothing that could be done. He looked at Sindari and she nodded. The dog had three doctors in her family and she phased into Tokyo. She haunted the halls and she saw a mixed daemon. He was striking with his shiny black hair and golden brown eyes. He was openly flirting with another female and this one was blushing. She knew him to be the son of the dog woman and she waited till he left and he went to an office. He sat down and he picked up a cup of coffee and sipped it. Shinobu was pleased with the progress of his basilisk brother and he was researching the differences in the species. Mizuki had requested it and his eldest sister was a pain in his butt but she was on top of medical and all things technical that could help all the youkai in the world. He was typing an email with he felt a frigid cold near him. He spun in his chair and pinned a Shouten to the wall. The white haired female was gorgeous but she exuded malice.

 

“I may be a healer bitch but believe me I can defend myself.” He growled.

 

“How cute. You will come with me now or I will start poisoning you slowly and just take your sister.” She said cruelly.

 

Shinobu snarled in anger and he actually grabbed her flawless throat. She looked at the young male and it was obvious he had his mother's instincts.

 

“Did not know that Shouten filth had albinism.” Shinobu said with narrowed eyes.

 

“Yes well it occurs so very rarely and I have slightly different abilities. If you come without my having to harm you then you will be spared.” She said calmly.

 

“You think I would help you? Go fuck yourself.” He sneered.

 

She phased her hand into his chest and actually squeezed his heart. He choked in pain and she phased them to her home plane. She threw him from her and he slid near Raganos. He looked at the Shouten king and he could scent his mother's Dakkasou mixed with other poisons. He smiled happily and he was backhanded for his effort.

 

“Heal him and show our own worthless doctors how or you will die now.” Sindari said in fury.

 

“Then kill me. I can tell you right now he has at least three different toxins eating away at him but you do not know what to do. Go right ahead and kill me bitch and I will watch happily as this bastard dies a heinous death.” Shinobu growled.

 

Sindari was in no mood to deal with the smart mouth creep and she grabbed his testicles and he shouted in pain. She was in the torturing mood and she squeezed hard. She was clawed with a powerful toxin and she shrieked pain as well.

 

“I will find your doctor sister and rip her intestines from her body and strangle her with them!” Raganos growled as he wrapped his hand around Shinobu's neck.

 

Shinobu knew they would and he snapped in fury. Sindari let his privates go and he jerked away from her. He could scent a reptile's venom as well as his mother's Dakkasou and what smelled like a wraith's own shoki. He looked at the wounds and a high dose of two different antibiotics should clear up the festering wounds. Sindari watched him and he grimaced in pain.

 

“I need some medicines from my hospital.” He snapped.

 

“Then you will get them, only I will be within you.” She said phasing into him.

 

He gasped and he was subjected to her will. She phased them to Yamasaki General and they went to the medicine lock up. She was getting down the medicines that were within his mind. They were retrieved along with an IV stand and other necessary items. When they phased back she had to leave his body. She stared at the strong willed male and he was powerful in his will and mind.

 

“I swear you lay one hand on my sister and I will engineer a pathogen. It will kill you all horribly!” He snapped.

 

“Do your job and you two will be spared.” Sindari snapped.

 

He bitched the entire time that he hooked up the medicines to the wraith king. He made sure he was not gentle and Raganos was highly pissed off. He finally finished and he had given the Shouten widow venom to ease his pain.

 

“You will spare the two doctors as long as this works.” Raganos said sleepily.

 

“Do you feel better brother?” She asked softly.

 

“Yes for now. Go for now.” He commanded.

 

Sindari made Shinobu walk along and she was behind him.

 

“You are a powerful telepath. Quite the toxin you have as well. What is your true form?” She demanded.

 

“I am kumo dominant.” He said tightly.

 

“I see. Well pretty boy shall I tell you what I did to your grandfather?” She asked smirking.

 

“I hope you die whore!” Shinobu snarled.

 

“Maybe someday but for now enjoy your room.” She said in anger.

 

Shinobu was shoved into a room and he looked around. He was a doctor first but he definitely had some training with his yoki and a katana. He was annoyed that the Shouten had gotten to him but he intended to escape. He had given the wraith king an extra large dose of widow venom and that would knock out an elephant for almost a week. He looked carefully around the room and he noticed a window. He stood on the opulent bed and he stared out into a beautiful landscape. He scowled and realized they were high up but that would be no problem for a kumo. He smiled and he stripped his shirt off and punched a hole through the window. He used his silk to climb up and he was cut up a little but he changed to his true form. He scuttled along the wall and looked down at the green hillsides and river below. He worked his way down and he figured the Shouten were just plain stupid. He reached the bottom of the palace and he changed form. He intended to run but he almost ran straight into a katana. The other side of the blade was a brunette female with teal colored eyes. His jaw dropped and she most certainly was not Shouten.

 

“You know if you escape then it would be my life.” She said in Japanese.

 

“You are not a wraith!” He said gulping.

 

“No, I am not dumb dumb.” She said looking him over.

 

“Then what are you?” Shinobu asked.

 

“I am a lynx daemon and by the looks of you; you are some manner of spider. The Shouten rule the roost here and we are their corporeal guardians. Now I value my life so you scuttle your ass back up that wall and make nice.” She said narrowing her magnificent eyes.

 

“I am not going.” He said crossing his arms.

 

“I was not asking.” She retorted.

 

“I am Shinobu.” He said gritting his teeth.

 

“I am Irina Ayates and now get back in there or I will drag your ass back up there.” She said sneering.

 

“I am not going back. I will not help them anymore!” He growled.

 

“It is not about helping them spider, it is about survival. This area is knee deep in these beings and they are merciless. Now get back or I will kill you!” She snapped.

 

“You are going to have to try.” He snapped as he jumped directly up into a tree.

 

“You slippery bastard!” She yelled.

 

She jumped up easily herself and she was more nimble in a tree then he was. He was pissed off as he was a doctor and not a damn acrobat. He felt like Spiderman from the movies as he jumped from tree to tree. He saw the stone fortress further away and the gorgeous woman was hot on his tail, in any other circumstance he would have been glad to have her follow him but she was carrying a blade and he was not. Shinobu was peering behind a tree and he heard her. She suddenly slammed his arms above his head and she stared at him.

 

“You have really pretty eyes.” She said really looking at him.

 

“Gee thanks. You say that as you try and capture me. Nice pillow talk sweetheart but not interested.” He said sarcastically.

 

“Oh if I wanted you spider then you would not being saying no.” She replied.

 

“Let me go!” He snarled in her surprisingly strong grip.

 

“You cannot port out of this plane because you are in the in between. Now if you do not mind then you are going back now.” Irina said in a low growl.

 

Shinobu let his silk go and he ended up binding their hands together. She looked at him totally angry and she tried to jerk her hands back.

 

“Kumo youkai silk is stronger then our smaller counterparts in nature darling. So I have to dissolve it myself. Now let me go!” He snapped.

 

“They will kill me if you escape. I have no plans on being dead so you will go back.” She demanded.

 

“You know my family is powerful. You help me escape then the youkai of Japan can help you!” He said in desperation.

 

“I do not want another master spider. I am in servitude enough.” She growled.

 

“Let me go! I am a doctor!” He said getting very angry.

 

“Sorry but no. You really are pretty for a spider; much prettier then most European kinds.” She said looking at his chiseled jaw.

 

“Again thank you but I am very much in need of escape. Those bastards will eventually kill me as well. If we work together then perhaps neither one of us should fear.” He said reasonably.

 

“What do you have in mind?” She asked in his ear.

 

He kept the shudder from going down his spine and he turned his head a little.

 

“You feel them around?” He asked in her ear.

 

“Yes. They are always around here. The rest of the wraiths will not know you are a prisoner just yet.” She whispered.

 

“So you are coming onto me?” He asked again in her ear.

 

“Yes.” She nodded softly.

 

She turned his head and stared at his eyes.

 

“You are a telepath.” She whispered.

 

“Most kumo are.” He replied.

 

“Me too.” She said and then kissed him.

 

He made a noise in surprise and her tongue was rough like a wild neko. Her kiss was distracting him and he could feel her mind.

 

-You can hear me? - She pathed.

 

-Hai. - he thought back.

 

-Okay they are going away. - she thought.

 

-Quit kissing me! - He snapped in her mind.

 

She pulled back and she watched his spider eyes.

 

“I know a way out of the in between. Can you see my mind?” She asked.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

She pictured a system of caves and he ported them there. She walked through the caverns and he followed. He released a bit of his venom and released them. Irina looked grateful and they walked through to the outside. It looked similar to where they had been but he knew he could now port wherever. It seemed odd but this place was a doorway into the other plane. He was excited and had to get back to Japan. He grabbed her and ported her with him. They appeared in his office at the hospital and she looked at him.

 

“So now what? You know they will figure it out soon and they will come for us both.” She said.

 

“They have a harder time getting into our building. You will stay there and I have to tell my mother about the doorway.” Shinobu stated.

 

“Great. Are you a momma's boy?” Irina asked.

 

“Look I did not want to be there and I most certainly did not want you trying to take me, okay?” He snapped.

 

“Sure thing spidey boy.” She said smirking.

 

“Kamis a freaking neko.” He growled.

 

She laughed and he ported them to his apartment. Nanami was there and she was feeding Shiyomi. Nanami looked up and assumed the female was one of Shinobu's flavors of the week. The female looked at the male spider and snorted.

 

“Your sister seems to think I am your evening entertainment.” Irina stated.

 

“Nami this is lynx and I am not sleeping with her. I was taken by a Shouten.” He grumbled.

 

“You need to tell Haha. She is upstairs by the way.” She said.

 

“She looks good little sis. Has the Arrancar been around?” He asked.

 

“Once. It is okay if he does not see her. Ashido sees her often.” She smiled.

 

“Alright well I will be right back.” Shinobu said as he ported out.

 

“So you were trying to capture him? Why would you serve those animals?” Nanami asked the neko youkai.

 

“Because I had no choice okay? You think I like wraiths? I like them about as much as I like canines.” She said with narrowed eyes.

 

“That is funny because we are one quarter canine. Good luck neko.” Nanami said standing and porting away.

 

Irina looked around and she decided to be nosey. She was looking in private things and this male was stunning. He tasted good and he was different. She was glad she spoke Japanese and she went through his papers. He was still fairly young and it seemed he was an accomplished internal medicine specialist. His clothing was on the business casual side and she very rarely got out into the non daemon world. He kept a diary and she opened it. He wrote about different medical ideas and it seemed he was a stuffed shirt. His sister's thoughts indicated he was a womanizer and she decided to have a little fun with spidey boy. She looked up and he was standing in his bedroom doorway.

 

“It is rude to go through other people's things.” He said narrowing his pretty eyes.

 

“Well what else was I going to do?” She asked mirthfully.

 

“When we alleviate this threat to your life then get out of mine.” Shinobu snapped.

 

He enjoyed an active personal life but he was discreet and private. This onna was rudeness on every level and he grabbed a blanket and went to his couch. He was annoyed and angry that the Shouten had gotten to him and he was annoyed he had to help the wraith king. He felt her staring at him and he looked at her.

 

“What now? I vacated my room so that you may use it.” He said annoyed.

 

“I do not wish to sleep alone.” She said softly.

 

“Yeah well that is not my problem.” He said coldly.

 

“Your sister's thoughts were that you were a male whore and you turn down a warm body?” She said surprised.

 

“Well very not interested.” He growled.

 

She slinked closer and she laid him back.

 

“I am sorry that I cornered you. You are obviously well connected and we can benefit the other.” She murmured.

 

“You normally try and sleep with strangers?” He asked.

 

“When they are as pretty as you then yes.” She replied smirking.

 

She lowered her mouth to his and he at first resisted. She swept her raspy tongue against his and he groaned. He allowed himself to kiss her back and her fingers were busy undoing his oxford shirt. He felt her hands against his chest and he groaned more. He finally broke away from her mouth and she began running her lips along his throat on the side and he shut his eyes.

 

“I am not going to engage you.” He said fighting himself.

 

“Fine then I will taste your skin slowly.” She smirked.

 

“This is not appropriate.” Shinobu gasped softly.

 

“Maybe not but it feels good.” She said tweaking his male nubs.

 

“Hai it does but you may think me a whore but I am not.” He said trying to think.

 

“You talk too much spider.” She said reaching into his pants.

 

“Stop!” He growled.

 

“Did they hurt you?” She asked softly.

 

“The white haired Shouten bitch was a little rough. Most likely I have testicular torsion.” He said softly.

 

“I am not technical. What does that mean?” She asked softly.

 

“It means I am in pain, okay with you?” He asked sarcastically.

 

“Sounds like you need some ice.” Irina stated.

 

“No thank you.” He said in exasperation.

 

“Fine then a kiss to make it better?” She asked innocently.

 

He was about to come back with a smart ass statement when she lowered her head and brushed her cheek against his groin. It was the barest of touches and pleasure shot to his brain.

 

“You are a spider and touch can make you go over the edge right?” She asked softly.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“You saved me in a way. You saved me for a little while at least.” She murmured in a low voice.

 

“So? Onna Kamis stop!” He groaned as she began to lick his fingers.

 

“I have been forced to guard them. I have not been back to this plane in a long while. I will explain it all later but I am so excited to be here.” She said kissing his palm.

 

“You have not been physical in a long time have you?” Shinobu inquired suddenly.

 

“No, I am finding myself quite thrilled to do so. The Shouten look down their nose at us corporeal daemons and they find us inferior.” Irina mumbled.

 

He lost his will and he undid her shirt. She wore no bra and he cupped her breasts. She attacked his lips and he responded fully. He adored her tongue and she undid his pants and he undid hers. She held him gently and rubbed his member against her opening. Shinobu groaned softly as she teased him.

 

“Shall I kiss you now?” She asked.

 

“I do not care.” He said leaning his head back.

 

She smiled and she slid down his body. He groaned more when he felt her wicked tongue and lips on his stones. She was so gentle and the pleasure was overwhelming his calm demeanor. She moved her lips along his member and he sighed.

 

“I have not felt this free in a long time spidey boy.” She smirked.

 

“My name is Shinobu onna and I am glad.” He whispered in irritation.

 

“Oh I am teasing you. Watch me.” She demanded as she guided him inside of her.

 

He watched her and he shook hard as she moved slowly. Shinobu was moaning a little as the little tart moved. She was sighing and purring. He could not believe she was purring but he suddenly grabbed her hips and began to guide her harder. He was still very sore but this felt incredibly good at the moment. He shut his brown eyes and he was gasping as she clutched him tightly. Irina lowered her head and groaned loudly. Shinobu suddenly lifted her off of him and he cried out softly as he became spent. He leaned his head back and he watched her. She looked a little miffed but he had no intentions of being a father yet. He felt quite good at the moment and she lay beside him.

 

“Do you normally shower?” she asked sleepily.

 

“Hai.” He nodded sleepy too.

 

“Come on before we pass out.” She said standing and pulling him up.

 

“Why did you?” He asked.

 

“I have been trapped there. I have tried to get out of that damn in between for nearly a century. They use us lynx because we are spry and able to be there for some reason. You have some manner of ancestry that allows you to go back and forth between here and Hueco Mundo.” She murmured.

 

“Hai.” He nodded intrigued.

 

“Not all daemons can be there you know. Come on pretty boy, we need to get clean.” She smirked.

 

“Shinobu! My name is Shinobu.” He growled.

 

“I am going to call you my hero and savior beautiful man.” She laughed as she found the bathroom.

 

“Are all lynxes like this?” He asked.

 

“We are when we are deprived. Oh very nice!” She purred against his chest.

 

“Onna you are something.” He said cracking a smile.

 

“I will tell you anything you ever wanted to know about the Shouten.” Irina murmured.

 

“That will be a great big help.” He said as he turned on the hot water.

 

They both groaned and they washed up. Shinobu planned on sleeping but his new guest had other ideas. He had no idea that an onna could be quite like this and he ended up finally passing out from exhaustion.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Brennus was watching the modern demons from the past. He recognized several and he realized that they had the ability to traverse time. He was quite intrigued and he had taken the mantle of leadership since Drostan had gone into his own hibernation. He enjoyed the prestige and had no intentions of handing power back over to the black wyvern. The tiny silver haired woman that could not handle the babe of his former king was smiling at a feline demon of surprising power. Her face was youthful but she was older. He waited till the feline left and it appeared she was alone. He appeared suddenly behind her and she gasped in surprise. Brennus was behind her and he tipped her head back and arched her lovely neck.

 

“I am shocked to see you here.” He said softly in English.

 

“Get the hell away from me wyvern!” She snarled.

 

“Drostan is asleep and I intend to see it stay that way. You are something though woman. You had him smitten with you.” He said licking along her neck.

 

“Do not touch me devil! You and your kind are evil!” She snarled.

 

“Oh we are? You had his babe murdered and he was supposed to sit by and watch it?” He asked amused.

 

“That babe would have killed me in the process.” Akemi sneered.

 

“We could have inoculated you but you went and killed it anyway. No matter though. We are here and we around beautiful woman. The Shouten wraiths are not your only problem.” He stated as he barely kissed her lips.

 

He shifted and Akemi stood there in utter shock. She thought this era was safe. She thought they had a reprieve and she realized they did. She screamed for Daichi, Ryukotsusei, and Ang Chi. They ended up calling Asuna in the islands and they ended up praying to the Kamis for time.
