Return of the Past

 

Kaito was hovering and he was in a very bad mood. He and Teru had been best friends for thousands of years and the bastard had up and fallen for HIS onna. It pissed him off so badly that he was disgusted. He was deep in concentration and he wanted to make Soul Society crazy. He grinned and Hikari was behind him instantly.

 

“Hai?” She asked with a grin.

 

“I think it time we did some damage.” He smirked.

 

“Oh good. When you can, you need to see Haha.” His daughter said softly.

 

“What do you mean?” He demanded.

 

“Her yoki is wonky. She released another one of those devastating attacks in the West. Yuudai says she took out at least a hundred wraiths in one move. She still sleeps.” Hikari said.

 

“Damn it!” Kaito said as he phased into the corporeal plane.

 

She was in a death sleep and he saw Naraku sitting by her bed. The hanyou nodded to him and he sat by her.

 

“The Shouten made a move?” Kaito asked.

 

“More like Augusta and Asuna made a move against them.” He replied.

 

Kaito adored her gumption; he always had. He smirked at the hanyou and Naraku could not help but like the Tomoshibi. Kenji was able to stay on this plane longer and he was able to continue a relationship with Eriko. It seemed turning him Tomoshibi had turned him into a prankster. Eriko would be working at the museum and he would come upon her in his true form. Eriko confessed to her father in law that he was amazing and she would turn absolutely red in the face when he showed up. Yes Naraku liked Kaito quite a bit.

 

“Well what kinds of havoc shall I wreak?” Kaito asked.

 

“What are you trying to accomplish?” Naraku asked him in return.

 

“Let me see; make Teru pay for his backstabbing ways. I am thinking he had me imprisoned because he wanted her.” Kaito said standing.

 

“I have to thank the guy for restoring my ningen half.” Naraku shrugged.

 

“Because I asked him to dark one! I am the one she came to. I am the one that begged him to help her.” He snapped.

 

“I see. Well then I suggest you bring back some more people. That seems to piss off the higher ups in this Soul Society.” Naraku said raising an ebony brow.

 

“I always liked her tiger prince. Hikari would go and play with the twins and Zihao. I liked your kids too. You know the tigers would be good against the Shouten. They control the cold and all.” He said pacing.

 

“The Shouten named Hanaj said she is an elemental youkai.” Naraku said.

 

“The Shouten said that did he? Well he speaks the truth.” Kaito said tightly.

 

“Why could she not have been told? Why have you elder youkai deemed it necessary to exploit her so much?” Naraku asked in anger.

 

“She is the rarest form of the elementals Naraku. She is not supposed to be here at all. She is supposed to be in Soul Society but she kept dying on us. I guess they gave up trying to keep her there or perhaps it was me but whatever.” Kaito said sighing.

 

“She was not supposed to be inu or uppyr?” He demanded.

 

“Her soul in her original form was that of a wraith like being. She was a transdimensional being much like Juria and myself. Each incarnation she brought something to the table. When she was Sorami. That was her weakest incarnation but she was still strong. She just never had time to develop her yoki. It took being born to Sesshomaru to have the abilities she does now. She has had some but not all of her yoki until this life. She was powerful as Ayana because she could control the wind. Watch her Naraku and watch her become great.” Kaito said almost proudly.

 

“She is already great.” Her hanyou mate said temperamentally.

 

“Hai that she is and she is also carrying a Shouten!” Kaito growled as he felt the tiny spark of life within her.

 

“Hai well Hanaj has been resistant to leave his family.” Naraku said darkly.

 

“Damn bastard!” He growled.

 

“You do not like him?” He asked.

 

“I do not like the whole of the tr'Awnhi. They are poison and good for nothing. Kaimei did a great thing when he killed Maec tr'Awnhi.” He sneered.

 

“Who was that?” Naraku asked.

 

“The father of Raganos.” Kaito said in disgust.

 

Naraku took in the information and he watched his mate sleep. Kaito watched her too for awhile and he finally phased out. He appeared in Kazakhstan and he felt them all over the place. His angelic face held wrath and several appeared around him.

 

“Tell your prince that Kaito will see him before I kill him.” The Tomoshibi said in anger.

 

“Which one dumb ass?” A Shouten asked smirking.

 

“Hanaj. Tell him he will see me. I will remain here.” He said coldly.

 

One Shouten phased out and he waited patiently. He really hated these beings and he could kill them easily enough. Finally a black haired wraith with silver eyes appeared. Kaito looked at him with incredible fury and he watched him. Hanaj watched the famed Tomoshibi and he felt nervous around such a foe.

 

“Tell your little peons to leave or I will end their existence.” Kaito commanded.

 

“Leave us.” Hanaj commanded.

 

“I imagine your lovely brother has his little spies hanging around. Why not take this conversation to Japan.” Kaito said smirking.

 

“I find myself liking my surroundings just fine Tomoshibi. What do you want?” Hanaj demanded.

 

“Is the little Shouten afraid of one lone Tomoshibi?” He asked mirthfully.

 

“Not afraid but I have a healthy respect for what you can do. Now what do you want?” Hanaj demanded.

 

“I wish to talk about a certain female.” Kaito said beginning to circle Hanaj.

 

Hanaj immediately phased to Seagaia. He knew where the rest of the Tomoshibi called home. The bastard was right behind him and he was met with a fist. He fell to his butt and he stared up at angry green eyes.

 

“I hate your kind with a passion but this is what you are going to do. You are going to go to her and beg her forgiveness for being born and make sure you beg. You will be a father to your son and you will leave those bastards or I will kill you. Very simple really. I have two thousand years up on you little boy and I will kill you.” Kaito said as his eyes bled white.

 

“Would you betray your own family Tomoshibi?” Hanaj snarled.

 

“I did defy my family left and right. Asuna killed my brother and you know what? He deserved it for condemning his own niece to death. I normally hate killing but in your case and Lei Jing; I would make the exception.” He growled.

 

“You ask the impossible. I serve their cause better where I am.” He growled back.

 

“My but you are a stubborn one. I have sat by and watched her corporeal loved ones and they are good sorts but another wraith? You bastard had no right touching a being of light. You know what she is now and you taint her.” Kaito snarled.

 

“How dare you espouse that old fashioned bull shit to me! I am royalty and you are what?” Hanaj growled.

 

“Royalty as well. My family ruled the Tomoshibi before your kind decided to try and invade the islands eons ago.” Kaito said glaring.

 

“That was even before my time.” Hanaj snapped.

 

“Hai well now you know. I can see her soul for what it really is and I have known her soul for damn near my whole existence. You are nothing in the grand scheme of things.” The light wraith scoffed.

 

“Good to know you further the cause of peace.” Hanaj retorted.

 

Kaito kneeled and held his neck in a crushing grip and the Shouten prince just stared at him. He threw him back and he stood up.

 

“Your brother's time is up Prince Hanaj and you will either be with those of us who prevail or you will be dead.” Kaito stated flatly.

 

Kaito phased out and Hanaj was in a tailspin. The elder wraith had huge amounts of power and he would be a huge challenge if he faced him. He got up and he phased to Yamasaki General. She was up and awake. He phased in and his face held his confusion and his helplessness.

 

“Your Tomoshibi visited me.” He stated in a heated tone.

 

“Oh? What did Kaito have to say?” She asked uninterested.

 

“Threatened to kill me.” Hanaj snapped.

 

“You lie. Kaito does not like death.” Asuna replied.

 

“Oh he said he would make an exception for me and Lei Jing.” He growled.

 

“He is being territorial. Never knew you wraiths were worse then inu.” She said in a snotty tone.

 

“He is almost twice my age and he is a demi-god.” Her Shouten said pacing.

 

“Hai. He is not all powerful but he does have a good deal of yoki.” She shrugged.

 

“I have told you that I do not want this. I want to free you from me. Ask your Tomoshibi to figure a way and we can pretend we never knew each other.” Hanaj said hoarsely.

 

“As you wish. I will not be held responsible if you happen to get in my way.” She said without emotion.

 

“Fine.” He said phasing out.

 

She choked on her emotions but she refused to waste any more tears on him. He was a lost cause and if anyone could find a way out of the ridiculous bond then it would be Kaito. She stood up and dressed in jeans and a black turtle neck sweater. She ported to her Tokyo penthouse and sank into her favorite chair. She needed to see her pups and she went through her mail. She felt Amedeo near and she threw open her door with a wave of her hand. He looked concerned for her and he stepped in. She stood and fell into his arms. He held her without saying a word and just let her feel his presence.

Augusta was better and she was watching Sesshomaru from the corner of her eye. He was in his study doing his lordly duties but he was tense. What she had seen made her skin crawl and she stood up fluidly. He looked at his mate of the past six centuries and a wistful look passed his features.

 

“You stare at this Sesshomaru as if I need coddling.” He said in irritation.

 

“Do you understand that you are the only man I have known who can handle my needs?” She asked softly.

 

“I am exhausted Augusta. Please do not be cryptic and speak plainly.” He said rubbing the bridge of his nose.

 

“You know I ran away. I ran so far and I met you. You are the first man I knew who loved me wholly and could handle my nature. I do not exhaust you totally when we make love. I do not hurt you.” She said almost shamed.

 

“I am a taiyoukai.” He said as if the was more then enough of an answer.

 

“That has nothing to do with it. It has to do with your sheer will power and your yoki.” She murmured.

 

“Augusta what does it matter?” He demanded.

 

“Raganos thinks you are beneath me but the truth is you are more powerful then me.” She said cupping his face with her hands.

 

His amber eyes met her honey-brown eyes. Her face was soft and unmarred as he stared at the onna who had given him his large family and all the love he had ever wanted.

 

“I began living the day you let me mate you. I have never nor since felt such passion or love for anyone but you. I love the pups you have given me because you gave them to me. I am more powerful because of you.” He replied in a very low baritone.

 

“Thank you but you have done nothing but do me every honor and make me the happiest I have been.” Augusta replied in a soft whisper.

 

Sesshomaru was affected by her loving words and he always warmed up to deep emotion and feeling. She barely touched his lips with her own and he released a pent up soft moan. He pulled her flush and he suddenly invaded her mouth and he was feeling overwhelmed. His clawed hands threaded in her black silk as the melding of lips was frantic and powerful. Augusta recognized what it was and she felt her black blouse ripped open. He was cupping her breasts and touching her vehemently. Sesshomaru lifted her skirt and he pulled her to the edge of his desk. He worked himself inside of her and pressed his forehead against hers.

 

“You are this Sesshomaru's one and only true love.” He murmured barely above a whisper.

 

“You are and will be forever my heart and my soul. You are my everything and I cannot live unless I am with you.” She whimpered.

 

They breathed roughly as their bodies only did what their hearts and souls had done so long ago; they were one and he was snarling fiercely as the immensity of their pleasure and passion consumed them like her fire yoki. He truly only felt complete when she was near and his immense love for this one onna was only enhanced by his obsessive love he felt for their pups. He felt her shatter powerfully and his roared out as he lost control of his inner nature. His jaws were around her juncture and his fangs sank deeply in his mating mark. He shook violently as the intensity of his climax left him reeling. His purely red orbs were shut as his body just felt. He felt her fangs sink into his own juncture and the familiar and beautiful rush flowed through him. Sesshomaru was rewarded with another mind altering release and his body was clammy from the exertion. Augusta ported them to their chambers and Sesshomaru almost mentally dared the wraith to show up in this moment. His arms were wrapped around his beloved and he fell into a blissful sleep.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was in a dreadful mood and she was at a crossroads between Kazakhstan, Russia, and China. These lands were infested with wraiths and she truly wanted to run into one of the tr'Awnhi. She was slashing vegetation with her fang and she felt a wraith. She moved with speed and she ended up clashing blades with Lei. He looked at her and he was surprised it seemed. She let Konkisaiga fade away into her yoki and she grabbed Lei and crushed him against a tree. She barely stared at him and she was growling fiercely. At first he was sure she was going to attack him physically but her lips were suddenly doing sinful things to his own. Lei had no idea how it happened but he was still pressed against the tree and she was turned away from him. She was actually pushing herself against him harshly and the pleasure he was receiving was mind shattering. His hands cupped her breasts and he met her backward thrusts. He released mindless cries and he groaned heavily as it seemed she was hell bent on making them both consumed. She was growling and grunting; she pulled on his soul and made it crush them both in passion. Asuna actually was forced to her knees in the heaviness and Lei followed. He was trying to reach his end and she was not letting him.

 

“Asuna! Do not do this. Let us come!” He whined softly.

 

“No.” She cried out.

 

“Why? I need you. Please woman I need you.” He rasped as he moved hard.

 

“Need you too.” She said lowering her head.

 

She jerked forward and he snarled in anger. She turned around and pressed him back. Her lips clashed against his in a passionate haze. He was beginning to have no idea where he began and she ended. She was making him weaker then he had ever felt in his over one thousand years of life. He tried to feel some resentment but he could not and her kiss was so devastating in the emotions she was communicating. He was aching badly and she wrapped her hand around him. He grunted softly and she slid down him. He had to rip his lips from hers and he whined loudly. It occurred to him however little that he should have lost his corporeal form by now. He heard himself beg and she was building him up for something. He was lost in how good they felt together. Their energies were flowing and moving along them both and he lost his voice. He was in severe pain at this point and she slipped her fangs into his neck. Jing Lei Shi was blinded instantly and he was wiped out totally. The ensuing rapture was unlike anything he had experienced. His mouth was open and he heard her damn near shriek. She fell against him and he was as weak as a newborn. His eyes shut and he could not see anyway. She was trembling in his grasp and he held on.

 

“How?” He managed roughly.

 

“My whole will. I had to keep your corporeal form.” She said sleepily.

 

“Why did I not sense you come here?” He whispered.

 

“I was in a dangerous mood. I did not wish to be angry around you.” Asuna answered.

 

“Why?” Lei asked surprised.

 

“I will not loose you. You should have not shown up that day. You are mine Shouten.” She said in a low growl.

 

Lei realized her beast was in control and he was truly stunned. He became more stunned when her lips were suddenly on his groin and he groaned out as he arched his beautiful body.

 

“Asuna? Gods I cannot right now! Please woman I will have to go into Hueco Mundo.” He cried.

 

She nuzzled along his member and he was rasping. His mind was shutting down and intense hunger gripped his body. His belly was gurgling and she bent down and laved her tongue along his belly button. Her inu side was controlling her and he was beginning to see why Bai could not get over the Manchu mutt.

 

“Lei, you are hungry my mate. You need to feed.” She purred in a beastly tone.

 

“Yes.” He moaned out.

 

“Feed from me.” She whispered seductively.

 

“Yes.” He grunted.

 

She lay on her back and spread her thighs to him. He was confused and she beckoned him to her. She pathed to him and his eyes widened. He was lost and he could not believe he had the gall to hate this wonderful woman. He adored her and her true nature. He loved her strength and how she pulled everything out of him. He slowly sank his fangs into her femoral artery and he shut his eyes. He had no wish to be with anyone else, she had simply ruined him.

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

They were in his bed and he was unable to move. He eventually had to go back to his natural state and he fed on hollows aplenty. They sustained him long enough till he could taste her wonderful life force. She was sleeping heavily and he sat up slowly. He heard a noise and he got up very slowly. He put on his dressing gown and entered his ante chamber. One of his former lovers was there and he looked miffed. Drysdan Hiren stood before him and he bowed but he was angry.

 

“What?” Lei asked irritated.

 

“You have abandoned me.” He accused him.

 

“I have an alliance that will benefit our clan and get us away from the fucking tr'Awnhi.” Lei said glaring.

 

“But she graces your bed every chance she gets! What am I to you my lord?” Drysdan asked in jealousy.

 

“I believed you one of my closest companions. What is this Drysdan?” Lei asked angered.

 

“Then why is she the only one gracing your bed?” He demanded.

 

“Because I like her. I enjoy her immensely and she is entertaining. Why else would I have her in my bed?” Lei asked in annoyance.

 

“You seem to forget what we shared or is a woman capable of making you scream?” He demanded.

 

“I think you should leave. I am tired.” Lei stated flatly.

 

Drysdan grew bold and shoved him against the wall. Lei was incensed and he was growling. The other male was definitely jealous and Asuna stood in the doorway.

 

“He does not seem to want your attentions at the moment wraith but the second he does, I would love it if he made you scream like the whore you obviously are.” She said in a low voice.

 

“You ruin him!” Drysadan snarled at her.

 

“I believe that is up to him. Put him down or I am sure he can make you put him down. Lei, I am unwell and I am hunting.” She said looking at him with a softer expression.

 

“What has you unwell?” He asked concerned.

 

“I will explain later.” She said stepping back.

 

Asuna left for the moment and Drysadan saw the look that Lei Jing had given her.

 

“You are in love with her! How could you fall in love with your sister's killer?” He demanded.

 

“By realizing that Bai made her own choices and as much as I loved my sister; I hated her too. That woman gives me joy.” He growled.

 

“So what did I give you lover?” He demanded again.

 

“Great sex, now get out!” Lei snapped.

 

Drysdan hated the woman and he felt supreme jealousy but he left it alone for now. Lei actually used his powers to dress and he hurriedly followed her aura. He found her in the forest coughing up what appeared to be blood and he held her hair back.

 

“What is wrong? What is it you are not saying?” He demanded.

 

“I had to keep you corporeal yesterday so I could fulfill my word to you.” She remarked.

 

“What? You carry my child?” He asked numbly.

 

“Hai. I need sleep. I will lay down with my pups if you do not mind. I cannot be near you and not want to have you in me.” She admitted.

 

He actually blushed and he was struck speechless. Yesterday had been about giving him his own family and he was suddenly crushed under the momentous feeling of protectiveness of the woman who was going to give him someone he had only dreamed about since Ang Chi had been born. His chest constricted and he picked her up bridal style and he phased them into his hideaway. He laid her down next to Hinata, Chiyo, and Haruya. He brushed her silver hair off of her head and stared into her eyes.

 

“Why now?” He asked softly.

 

“Because Raganos is fixing to be delivered a blow he will not be able to handle at the moment. My sire is leading an attack into his lands. My sire wants revenge badly and I will stay behind for now and keep my word to you.” She said cupping his cheek.

 

“Woman I love you. I am madly in love with you.” He whispered.

 

“Hai. I have come to love you as well my former enemy.” She smiled softly.

 

Lei could not stop himself from kissing her and he held onto her tightly. He was in disbelief about what it was she was doing but he knew he would protect her. He actually fell asleep with her and the babes and he slept better then he ever had.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lord Sesshomaru stood regal and pristine in his white haori and hakama. He had even put on his armor of old. All three of his fangs graced him and Augusta was still asleep. Yuudai was next to his lord and second father with his own katana and armor on. Yuzuna was also there and she playfully hit her brother on his arm and Yuudai smiled.

 

“Are we ready?” Yuudai asked.

 

“Hai. All of our elite inu will be there?” Sesshomaru asked.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru-sama?” A voice rang out.

 

In the door stood Lord Jin and Sheng, flanking the two elder Panyu inu were Kazuo and Hiroto. Sesshomaru looked at the twins and he nodded to them. Yuzuna knew these two had reason to resent her and she bowed low.

 

“Hello little sister. Good to finally meet the heir to the West.” Kaz said smiling.

 

“Please not here and not right now.” Yuudai snapped.

 

“Of course General. Will Asuna be coming?” Jin asked.

 

“I am already ready.” Asuna said coming up behind them.

 

Jin and Sheng turned and she stood before them in a royal blue battle hanfu. She had on her armor that she had not worn in centuries and her hair was pulled up. Her markings were clear and for all to see. She bowed to the Panyu royalty and Kazuo actually seemed in awe of her. Hiroto went to his knee and kissed her hand and she pulled him up and hugged him.

 

“I love you son.” She whispered in his ear.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

She moved to his twin and pulled him into a hug as well. Kazuo hugged her tightly and he felt overwhelmed.

 

“Mother.” He grunted softly.

 

“Hai.” She murmured.

 

He released her and he stepped beside his twin. Sesshomaru nodded and Asuna poured over a map and showed them where the current in between was. They all nodded and Asuna took her sire's hand and Yuzuna took Yuudai. They all met up at the in between that was near Mongolia at the moment. She had lied to Lei but she could not stay back and let her sire get to Raganos. They would work together but if they did not get his this time then they would take him out for a little while. They slipped through the passage and it felt strange to all except Asuna. She had become used to the traversing of planes. She closed her eyes and she felt Hanaj and Lei had been teaching her how to suppress the binding. She ported to Astana and they all followed. She was masking and so did the rest but hers was superb. She knew the arrogant bastard was here and a smirk played on her face. Her sire was faster and she was astonished. Jin appeared beside her and so did Sheng.

 

“Hello Koi.” Sheng murmured.

 

“Hello.” She said tightly.

 

She was concerned and she ported quickly. She appeared inside of the palace and the others were behind her. She heard her father say, Dragon Strike and the yoki was awesome. She began running and the other inu were merciless as they began to strike adult Shouten. Asuna appeared in the still decimated throne room and she saw many of the siblings of Raganos and Hanaj. Most had nasty smirks on their faces and the ensuing melee was chaos. Her father was moving with inhuman speed and he used his yoki whip to begin taking off heads. He appeared utterly bored as he moved back and forth. She was met with her own battle and she dodged and parried with ease. She felt Hanaj but she ignored him. She cleanly took off the head of a male who looked very similar to Nveid but she whirled when she felt Hanaj directly behind her.

 

“Back away or I will strike.” She snarled.

 

“You hurt me and then you will hurt yourself.” He growled.

 

“Bastard!” She yelled.

 

She released a huge nami that struck him and threw him straight through a wall. She felt it but she dealt with it. She moved on and Jin appeared beside her. He looked striking as he fought and he looked over at her.

 

“We have not fought next to each other in forever.” He observed.

 

“No we have not. Shall we see how many wraiths we can kill?” She asked almost amused.

 

“Hai please.” He laughed.

 

She jumped over him and she appeared beside her father. His eyes were scanning the surrounding area and the blood was beginning to stain the marble on the floor. She closed her eyes and she felt him. She jerked her head to the side and father followed daughter as she raced through the Shouten palace. Sesshomaru picked up the faint scent and they both intended to face him. Asuna released her yoki and smashed in a door and the wraith king stood in the middle of the room. Sesshomaru shoved his daughter back and he stepped forward.

 

“Vermin.” Sesshomaru muttered.

 

“Really? Come find out if I carry disease then dog!” Raganos growled.

 

Sesshomaru was in front of Raganos and an explosion of power threw Asuna backwards. She hit a wall and she slid down it. She was shocked but entirely surprised as she watched her sire move expertly and with ease as he faced the wraith king. Raganos was getting in some powerful attacks of his own but her sire pulled Tensaiga. Raganos looked angered and he was very wary of the blade.

 

“Remember this?” Sesshomaru said in a low tone.

 

“That blasted thing!” He snarled.

 

Sesshomaru plunged the fang of his sire and almost hit Raganos but the wraith moved with such incredible speed. Asuna was hauled up by none other then Hanaj and he yanked her down a hall. He was furious and he was watching the dog daemons decimate with ease.

 

“Why? Why are you doing this?” He roared.

 

“I told you.” She snapped.

 

“I did not think you capable of this.” He screamed.

 

“I am only doing what needs to be done. How long do you think it will be before he comes at us?” She screamed right back.

 

Jin only saw the wraith screaming at her and he suddenly shoved his fang through Hanaj's side. Asuna gasped and looked down as blood appeared from a similar wound. She fell to her knees along with the Shouten prince and she was gasping.

 

“Asuna!” Jin yelled as he neared her.

 

“Jin! You have to not attack him. You will kill me.” She hissed softly.

 

“I did not know.” He said taking off his own shirt and pressing it to her wound.

 

They heard the battle around them and Hanaj was in pain as the male dog had some manner of caustic toxin in it. He was rasping a little and he attempted to phase away.

 

“Hanaj stop!” Asuna cried softly.

 

“You are no better then him. You are no better then a monster! Will your family stop at just the adults?” He scowled.

 

“Who has been killed that has not raised a weapon against my own blood?” Asuna snarled.

 

Hanaj knew she spoke the truth and he looked away. Jin was staying quiet and he knew the only way they could be like this is if they had mated in some way. He was jealous a little and his planned seduction of his former mate seemed put off. Hanaj was in pain but he watched as the brown haired male dog suddenly tipped her head back and softly kissed her lips. He snarled in fury and he was suddenly behind Jin.

 

“I will kill you! Get your face away from hers.” Hanaj growled out.

 

“You are obviously a foe now so why not take the chance and escape dumb ass.” Jin retorted.

 

“Do not fuck with me Lord Jin of Panyu. I will wipe you out in but a heart beat.” Hanaj stated as his eyes seemed to swirl.

 

“Stop it! How dare you tell anyone to stay away from me!” She growled.

 

“Bitch!” Hanaj snarled.

 

He lunged for her and he phased away quickly. It had all happened so fast that Jin did not know what happened.

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

Sesshomaru was bloodied in several places and only Naraku had proven such a difficult foe. His mind settled on his son in law and former enemy. Asuna had a way of making her bitterest enemies her best friends. He barely flicked his wrist and Dakkasou ripped into Raganos. The wraith king had morphed his arm and this dog was as powerful as him.

 

“She delivered me another female.” Sesshomaru said flippantly with his cold baritone.

 

“How sweet. Another beast that I may feast upon!” He snarled.

 

Sesshomaru saw red and a blast of volcanic shoki hit him and he barely lifted his arm to deflect it. Raganos was still recovering and not at his full strength. Sesshomaru saw an opening and a cold half smile played upon his features. He clashed his Bakusaiga against Raganos's battle axe and his claws glowed an eerie green. He shoved them deeply into his enemy's chest and the wraith staggered back as blood poured from the wound. He fell to his knees and Sesshomaru was about to take off his head when another wraith suddenly appeared.

 

“What sorcery is this?” Raganos said in a defeated tone.

 

“You will not harm him!” The younger wraith said in utter fury.

 

Sesshomaru was met with a wide bladed katana that was huge. The wraith's eyes were straining to change completely as he began swinging his blade to meet the dog's expert moves. The great inu lord actually back flipped and tried to trip the younger male. The other pulled a smaller dagger like weapon that he cut his thumb with and it was infused with his shoki. He threw it squarely through Lord Sesshomaru's left shoulder. Sesshomaru said nothing but pain erupted in his brain. The young man grew voluminous ball of ash shoki and shoved it at him. He missed it mostly but his lungs burned as he took in a breath. He took a step back and his young enemy grabbed the wraith king and phased out. Sesshomaru growled several obscenities in inu and he quit the room.

Raganos was laid down and he was choking up blood. The young male was fuming terribly and he went to his knee and cut his wrist open.

 

“How is it you are here?” Raganos asked in a hoarse whisper.

 

“It does not matter the how but that I am here. Who dared touch my king?” he asked in a quiet fury.

 

“My enemy. I fear that it may be my time.” He said gasping.

 

“Father! You will not die. You will not die this day or the next! Use me as your vessel if need be.” He said furiously.

 

“Yhea how are you here?” Raganos asked with barely opened eyes.

 

“It seems I was to fall and a reptile sent me here. He says you now owe him. He says the Shouten and his kind had to join forces.” Yhea said softly.

 

“Did he have black hair and pale blue eyes?” Raganos asked.

 

“Yes.” Yhea nodded.

 

“That would be the Celtic wyvern king Drostan Mochrie.” Raganos said weakly.

 

“Well that is fantastic father but I want you to go into a death sleep. Let me finish clearing out the corporeal rabble.” Yhea said standing.

 

Raganos nodded and he delved within his own mind. Yhea was still in shock and the wyvern ruler to associate with a non reptile was shocking. He phased back to the Astana palace and he saw many of his uncles and a few aunts dead. A blue eyed and brunette male saw him and they stared at each other.

 

“How dare you come here filthy bag of blood!” Yhea said storming up to him.

 

“Your kind has done naught but become a pestilence. Back off ether boy!” The male said in anger.

 

Yhea snarled and shoved a glass like limb straight through the beautiful male. He fell to his knees and the son of the wraith king walked on. Sheng had been shocked at the attack and cursed his stupidity and he managed to stand. There were many dead wraiths and the inu looked a little worse for wear. His sons however had done well and they were toying with a few Shouten. Sheng walked along and went in search of his koi.

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

Hanaj was on her and he was angry. He was angry that she put herself in danger with his son within her and he was angry that her children and father were killing his family left and right. He held her jaw and the wound in his side was hurting like hell.

 

“Can you heal like some other uppyr?” He demanded.

 

“Hai.” She grunted.

 

“Then heal us.” He demanded as he touched her clothes and his own.

 

Hanaj slipped into her and it caused him to shudder. She quivered under him as well and Asuna pulled forcefully on his yoki. He groaned as it physically hurt what she was doing but it caused him to force his body into healing. If he healed then she should follow suit. He could not hold out and he began moving hard in her. He ended up laying his head on her chest and gripped her shoulders as he thrust. He shut his eyes and she felt so good. Her soft cries were escalating and Hanaj felt peace for the moment. Her body reacted and his release was triggered by hers. He continued to lay there and did not want to move.

 

“Hanaj?” She murmured.

 

“I am taking you. I need you. I cannot take being away from you.” He said in a fierce whisper.

 

“I do not understand.” She said softly.

 

“I am taking you for a time and I am going to know what it feels like to sleep next to you and to have you whenever I want.” He snapped.

 

“I cannot.” She growled.

 

“Your babes are with Lei and your other males whores can wait on you. I did not say forever.” He said sleepily.

 

“Hanaj this is insane. You vacillate so much that I am dizzy. You and I are either enemies or we are mates! Which one is it?” She growled.

 

“I do not know!” He yelled at her.

 

“I cannot breathe.” She grunted.

 

He eased out of her and he lay on his back. His eyes were opaque white and his side did not hurt anymore. He needed to sleep as he had lost too much blood. He took her hand in his and phased to a small hideaway in the mountains of Kazakhstan. This was his major secret besides his corporeal love. They fell upon his bed and he curled himself around her. She was not tired but made herself rest. Hell would be paid for her missing but she at least felt safe.

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

Sesshomaru took stock but he noticed his heir was missing. They had laid waste to the Astana palace and he looked at the place with hatred. Normally he would just leave as anything else was beneath him but he commanded it burned to the ground. Sins against his person, his mate, and his progeny had been committed and he felt no need for mercy. Yuudai was very obviously upset by Asuna being missing but he had a feeling he knew what had happened. Jin had said that another Shouten with silver eyes had taken her and he felt certain it was the Shouten she had told him about, the one brother who seemed to thwart the wraith ruler at every turn. He found himself alright if she was with someone who would protect her. Jin and Sheng both seemed miffed and Yuzuna was inspecting her claws. Her haori and hakama were soaked in blood and he knew his favored grand pup was a mighty warrior. He had helped train her himself and he adored the young bitch.

 

“Come all. Yuzuna, you will eat with this Sesshomaru and your obbasan.” He commanded.

 

“Hai jii-chan.” She said bowing.

 

“What about Asuna?” Yuudai asked softly.

 

“I will converse with Augusta. She is most adept at all things blood drinker. It is certain that this Sesshomaru's heir will not be harmed.” He said with finality and he walked on.

 

Jin and Sheng stared at each other and they did not need to speak with their voices and they intended to look for her themselves. They slipped back into their own plane and the Panyu royal brothers sent Sheng's sons on back to Tokyo. The brothers ported back to Kazakhstan to find her. Sheng was determined to see her and to talk with her. His brother was still very much enamored with his koi and Sheng had immersed himself in the histories of his own people. It was really intriguing and he had made up his mind. Jin and he had come to terms long ago and his much older brother had become his best friend. They thought alike and they looked alike. Sheng closed his eyes and he let himself feel her through their bond that they had mistakenly made when they had been so young. He felt her though weakly and he ported nearby. They saw a dwelling nestled against the side of the mountain and Jin nodded. Sheng ported inside and Asuna appeared by herself on a bed. He neared her and he gently shook her awake.

 

“Sheng?” She asked softly.

 

“Hai koi. You ready to go?” He asked.

 

“I need to stay here.” She sighed softly.

 

“No you really need to come back with us.” He snorted.

 

“Hanaj is hunting at the moment. He is angry and he feels betrayed.” She sighed.

 

“Koi I do not give one shit about what a Shouten wants okay? Come on.” He said pulling her to him.

 

He ported outside and Jin nodded. They all ported to the palace in Guangzhou and she looked at them very annoyed. Sheng smirked and he went to pour himself some sake and some for Jin.

 

“Jin, why are you looking at me like that?” She asked.

 

“Only thinking Asuna. You have always managed to make me become an idiot.” He said smiling a little.

 

“Jin, that is too easy and not worth the insult.” She snorted.

 

He smirked at her and he pulled her to him. He held her jaw and he stared at her with his stormy blue eyes. Asuna had to swallow nervously and these two just made her knees rubber. Jin because of his nature in his personal life and her bond with Sheng made their coupling intense. The Panyu lord opened her dressing gown and gently cupped her breasts. She closed her eyes and groaned softly.

 

“By the Gods onna you are still so beautiful.” He said lightly tugging and rolling her tips.

 

“Jin, please no teasing.” She moaned.

 

“Tell me my silver inu goddess, do you wish for this?” Jin asked softly in her ear.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

His lips grazed under her ear lobe and his breathing was heavy. Sheng came up behind and he gently began to massage her shoulders.

 

“Let me ask you a question koi, why should the kumo brothers get to touch you and love you together and not us?” Sheng asked huskily.

 

“No teasing. Kamis Sheng what are you doing?” She ground out.

 

“Touching your inner soul. I always loved to see your face as I brushed my mind to yours. Hai! Do you feel it?” He asked.

 

“Hai oh Kamis please.” She whined in the onslaught.

 

Jin smirked and he had come to find out that his little brother was a phenomenally powerful telepath and he could not hold a candle to it. He was also just as sultry as he could be. Jin took the opportunity to begin ravishing her body as Sheng ravished her soul. He licked and sucked one nipple till she yelped from the intense pleasure. He moved to the other and her moans were making him ungodly aroused. He stood up and captured her lips and he mated his tongue to taste her. Sheng had moved her hair off of her neck and left soft nips. They were moving slowly and with purpose as they both kissed and tasted her skin. Jin took her front and Sheng moved down her back. Their touch was throwing her into a spin and their previous and brief interactions seemed like child's play. She wanted to sink to a bed and she was suddenly being guided towards one. Sheng had in mind what was going to happen and she could see it. Her body was on fire and she was going to be their fodder. Jin pulled her to him and he kissed her belly softly. His magnificent lips drifted lower and she mewled in anticipation. He dipped his tongue between her nether lips and she groaned heavily.

 

“Please no teasing Jin!” She growled.

 

“No teasing?” He purred as he slipped two fingers inside of her.

 

He stroked her small spot deep within. She came off the bed and Jin grinned against her female flesh. Asuna was lost and she ended wrapping her hand around Sheng's member. He sucked in his breath as she stroked him as Jin pleasured her. She groaned heavily as she felt her belly coiling. Sheng moaned louder and she was reaching out physically and mentally to try and release some of her body's tension.

 

“Please!” She snarled out.

 

“Now?” Jin asked in a heavily seductive tone.

 

She nodded and she felt leaden. Sheng gently rolled her to her side and Jin faced her. She saw his reddened eyes and he leaned forward to kiss her lips. He pulled her hips forward and she groaned. Sheng was still behind and he ended joining her as well. She felt so full and amazing. She was delirious in it and she began to scream in ecstasy. She fell into an orgasmic bliss and her lovers had to join her as they were bathed in the shared yoki. She clawed Jin's back as she fell unconscious. Sheng fell asleep with her and Jin laid on her other side. It felt like paradise to have her here and he would work with Sheng to figure out how to keep her here more often.

Amedeo was holding his son in a park near the apartment building. He was humming an old Latin tune and his sweet boy was jerking softly. He had never missed a birth of his eleven he had with Valentina and he wished he had been there for Justinus's birth but he was so thrilled to have a child again.

 

“Perhaps when your materna gets back from her battle then we can go to Italy for a day or so. I should so like for you to meet your brothers and sisters. I think that they would think you are so handsome my little one. Your materna is the most beautiful femmina in the world you know.” He smiled down.

 

“Enjoying being a father again?” He heard behind him.

 

He stiffened and he was sure of the voice and he whirled around. Drostan stood before him and he looked quite well. His black hair was pulled back and he was dressed all in black.

 

“Why are you here bastardo?” Amedeo said in horrendous anger.

 

“Wondering why you have what I want. He is a pretty thing for a basilisk that is.” Drostan said in a sneer.

 

“You are foul and an evil monster. No femmina could love you.” Amedeo sneered.

 

“We shall see. I am around Amedeo but I shall let you wonder and let you stew. I shall let you become paranoid as to when I will strike. I may even have to rid you of your new son!” Drostan said chuckling cruelly.

 

Amedeo's arm shifted into his reptilian one and he moved with incredible speed. He struck Drostan across his perfect face and the wyvern king backhanded his rival across the jaw. Both were close to loosing it and mortals were alarmed by the action.

 

“Till we meet again pest.” Drostan laughed.

 

He shifted out right there and Amedeo was agitated. He moved swiftly and he slipped into an alley. He phased into his apartment and he made a noise. Gabrielus was immediately there and so was Adrastus. Amedeo paced as he held his son and he called upon his nursemaid. She came in and bowed and took Justinus to his nursery.

 

“He is alive and in this era! He just showed up and threatened MY son.” Amedeo fumed.

 

“We should go now and hunt him down my rex.” Adrastus said flatly.

 

“No not yet. I want you to go to the dragons and see what we can do. Gabrielus how soon till your femmina births?” Amedeo demanded.

 

“Unsure my rex.” He said shaking his head.

 

“Fine then.” He stood and he phased to her penthouse.

 

He held onto Justinus and he was so angry. Asuna threw open her door and she looked at him.

 

“When did you return?” He asked tensely.

 

“Just now. I felt your ire.” She said concerned.

 

“Take our son to your little ones femmina. Promise me he will be alright.” Amedeo said gently laying him in her arms.

 

“What has happened Amedeo?” She asked softly.

 

“Drostan is alive. He is alive and he is here!” He growled low.

 

“Say no more. I am sorry that we have to do this.” Asuna said sighing.

 

“Keep him safe! Do better then what I did for my older ones, please!” He said with tears in his eyes.

 

She made a wounded noise and ported out to Lei. He came near and she gently laid her son in his arms. He looked stunned at his saw the tiny basilisk male.

 

“He is so small.” He said looking at her.

 

“Hai. His sire is Amedeo. He was visited by the wyvern ruler.” She said meeting his eyes.

 

“You attacked with your family.” He said darkly.

 

“I had to. I was fine Lei.” She said touching his arm.

 

“Why would you do that?” He growled.

 

“To protect us all. I am fine and we are well. Will you guard him?” She asked.

 

“Yes I will but I will not loose you or the babe!” He said in supreme anger.

 

She stepped near him and gave him one of her dominating and seductive kisses. She slowly pulled back and nodded to him. He sighed and he nodded to her. She ported back to Amedeo and he was in turmoil. She held him tightly and the wyverns she realized had just become a real problem.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Akemi was in a field around the Summer Palace and she was working with her naginata. Her mind was on the wyvern Brennus and she was tapped on the shoulder. She turned and she stumbled back. A small smile spread on Drostan's face.

 

“Hello Akemi. Did you think that I had forgotten you?” He asked with a very sensual smile.

 

“What are you doing here?” She asked.

 

“Came to see the woman who has haunted my dreams.” He said circling.

 

“You killed my other babe.” She said in fury.

 

“I did. I was angry about my own being taken. Centuries can change a man.” Drostan stated.

 

“You sorry bastard! You think you can come here and just say these things?” She snarled at him.

 

“Akemi you are angry with good reason but you forget what you did to me and me to you?” He asked in a silky voice.

 

“I know you shoved a blade deep within my womb to kill an innocent. Your babe was killing me!” She glared.

 

“I know why now. I am sorry and I was cruel when I made you unprepared for my toxin.” He said smoothly.

 

She had back stepped right into a tree and his pale blue eyes perused her form. He effectively pinned her and he tasted her neck with his tongue.

 

“I was so full of hatred and yes arrogance. God but you are still so tiny.” Drostan stated as he cupped her chin.

 

“You killed my baby. You did not care.” She said hitting his chest.

 

“I know. I also know I will take the rest of my life begging your forgiveness.” He murmured.

 

“Ryukotsusei will kill you right along with Ang Chi and Daichi.” She growled.

 

“No Akemi he will not.” He said laughing softly.

 

He gathered her to him and he shifted to his home in London. His former general was a fool and he smiled at the small woman. He laid her back on his plush bed and he lifted up her arms and pulled off her sweater and he slipped down her jersey knit pants. She at first fought fiercely until he kissed her with passion. She was overwhelmed by his sheer presence and Drostan could not wait. He lowered his head and ruthlessly began stroking his tongue inside of her and she gasped. She was a little bit prepared and he freed himself. He eased inside of her tight channel and he grunted loudly as she felt him stretch her and his nature had her crazed.

 

“You have no idea how you feel.” He rasped.

 

“Why are you doing this?” She asked in near agony.

 

“Because I have waited all of my life. Valentina deserved her fate and Amedeo will suffer his. Anyone who thinks to stop me will die. You will not be taken from me again.” He said fiercely and he began moving.

 

She thrashed her head and gasped as he moved within her. She splintered apart immediately. Drostan was flooded with her purity and he roared out. She whimpered in self hatred but he was sin. He made sure to pull back very slowly and he ended up between her thighs again. Her eyes shut and he tasted her brazenly. He moved over her and she was stunned by the look on his face.

 

“I thought only of you whilst I slept. I dreamed of being with you like this.” He murmured.

 

“I am happy with those I love.” She said defiantly.

 

“I am sure Akemi but you are beyond such mundaness are you not?” He chuckled.

 

“Who are you to decide my fate?” She growled in fury.

 

“Your biggest fan. Should you like to go home now? Shall you go and they all shall gather arms against me now? Shall you self castigate and tell yourself what a whore you are?” Drostan asked smirking.

 

“You son of a bitch!” She hissed.

 

“You could have a wyvern now. Our medicines have become that of the modern era obviously. I should have listened to you.” He said in a soft voice.

 

“Shut up you self righteous bastard!” She snapped.

 

“Maybe so but I am very old and I am very powerful. I have ways my dearest woman and I will make it my mission and passions to see you at my side and HAPPY.” He said in slow drawl.

 

“How dare you! You arrogant bastard!” She snarled again.

 

“Do you remember the green dragon you saved that day?” He asked watching her.

 

“Hai so?” She demanded.

 

“His name is Braden and he is mad about you too. He came to me you see and he asked that we save you from those beasts.” Drostan chuckled.

 

“What did I do but try and heal you both?” She asked in annoyance.

 

“Oh Akemi you did so much more then that. You showed us both mercy and albeit love of living beings. You have no idea how rare that is amongst the European reptiles. You know even the basilisks are cold blooded; especially the reds but I think the Italian sun must have gotten to Amedeo's head and made him mammal like.” He sneered.

 

“Your issues are those and not of me.” She said in anger.

 

“It was a red basilisk that devoured your son; the priest named Ryunosuke? It would be my pleasure to stop that event.” Drostan said in a velvety tone.

 

“What do you want in exchange?” She demanded.

 

“Your womb and your body so that I may make love to you often.” He smirked.

 

Her chest was heaving and the idea that her gentle and sweet Ryunosuke was to be eaten was killing her. Hibari was in love with him and it rivaled what Ryukotsusei and she had shared. She hoped that maybe if she gave him what he wanted at this moment then it would buy them time.

 

“You would make sure he was not killed?” She asked.

 

“I would make a blood oath through ancient magics that if I did not keep my word then our little bargain would nullify.” He said smiling.

 

“Only when it is done will I do this thing.” She said in anger.

 

“Not a word Akemi. You keep this our little secret for now.” He laughed lying on his back.

 

“I hate you!” Akemi hissed.

 

“But I am madly in love with you. You know that is your real power woman. You can make those you wish your slaves. So strange I think because truly you are nothing like that whore wife of mine. You are purity and you are a drug. See you soon lover.” He said standing.

 

She was shaking in rage and she ported away. She felt dirty and she took a shower to get his smell off of her. She leaned her head against the travertine tiles and wept openly. The asshole knew she loved her offspring and she would ANYTHING for them. She wondered about the green dragon named Braden and knew the wyvern ruler could be as evil as anything.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Amedeo was shaken to his foundations and he knew his femmina's family had dealt a heavy blow. He was friendly with Tekeshi and Eyal. He decided to know the spiders and he phased to Sendai. He needed all powerful allies and he was shown in. A tall ebony haired male walked out and he was imposing. His onyx colored eyes watched him and the male sat down. His skin was flawless and his eyes held intelligence.

 

“You are Lord Ishin no?” Amedeo asked.

 

“I am. You are the basilisk Amedeo Servius.” He said watching the other man.

 

“Si.” He nodded.

 

“What can I do for you reptile?” He asked.

 

“I am coming to you to tell you of me and to make sure I am in your graces and ask for your help and offer myself.” Amedeo said in flawless Japanese

 

Ishin was intrigued and he leaned back in his chair. His longtime mate's lover was open and he listened carefully. He knew of the basilisk babe named Justinus.

 

“So the wyvern has shown back up and threatened your son. Fear not Amedeo, our love has already shown up and has let us know. My brother Naraku is most put out at the moment. You see Kenji is his son and Iyo my daughter.” Ishin explained.

 

“You understand.” Amedeo said softly.

 

“Hai and I have met your precious boy. May I ask a question?” Ishin asked.

 

“Si.” He nodded.

 

“Why have you not marked Asuna?” He asked.

 

“I have no wish to infringe on her life more then I have. I am sure you know the madness she induces. I have never loved another except my long ago wife.” He said honestly.

 

“Well I know only too well.” He chuckled.

 

“Is it true she was a great spideress?” He asked curiously.

 

“Hai. She was known as Ayana the Great to my people. She founded our kingdom long ago.” He smiled.

 

“Amazing.” He smiled.

 

“Hai but she can drive you utterly crazy too my friend. Naraku and I have been nuts for centuries. Mate her my friend and get it over with.” Ishin said rising.

 

“How is it you think this way?” Amedeo asked.

 

“Well I infringed on her mating with Naraku. My brother is actually the soul of my brother from his previous life. He remembered and I was angry for centuries. We discovered the truth to the whole sordid details and we are best friends and he is again my dear brother. Now I refused to give her up and he was the same way. So we followed Ayana's example. My kind adores her as do I. Welcome to the family my friend. Now please realize that it works but it is complicated and quite dysfunctional at times.” Ishin chuckled.

 

“Thank you.” The basilisk king said bowing his head.

 

“Oh do not thank me. Your son is apart of this family. Your son will probably be disciplined by one of us at some time. We will be your best friends and allies but we expect the same from you.” He shrugged.

 

“If I have a small chance of happiness my friend then I shall grab it. I had not expected my son but he is the best thing that has happened. I love her and I love him. I will die defending the femmina we love.” He said with conviction.

 

“Please come stay with us if you wish.” He said bowing.

 

Amedeo nodded and he felt better having powerful allies on his side.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Akemi was looking for the green dragon that she had saved and she was looking through old records. She found Juria and she had been sent to the past. She was on a mission and she would find him if it killed her. She was moving through the forest and she remembered seeing the green around dragon lands for awhile. She sensed his aura and she came upon him in his true form. He was scaled with varying degrees of green and his eyes were a brilliant emerald green. He looked closer to a wyvern then any dragon she had ever seen and he turned his head to see her. His gaze was soft as he stared at her and he bowed his head. He was like every other reptile and could speak in his true form.

 

“My Lady Akemi.” He said almost reverently.

 

“Are you Braden?” She demanded.

 

“Braden McClure my lady.” He said with a Scottish burr.

 

“Do you know the wyvern king?” She asked straining her neck.

 

“I know him.” He acknowledged.

 

“He is evil! He is nothing like the dragons of Asia and he is cruel!” She said as her blue eyes welled up with tears.

 

“He is a warrior and conqueror. How is that any different from your lady cousin?” Braden asked.

 

“Asuna would not murder innocents!” She screamed.

 

Braden changed form and he was mad for this woman. She had saved his life and he owed her his life. He went to his knee and bowed before her.

 

“My king's attentions to you are not what you wish?” He asked softly.

 

“NO! I am happy. I am not the fodder for any foreign reptiles! I am mated to Ryukotsusei who is more then enough I assure you.” She said coldly.

 

“Yet you are consorted with a dog demon and a feline correct?” He asked.

 

“I am time skipping or have you not noticed my absences?” She asked him.

 

“I have noticed but you have been cheating fate?” He asked surprised.

 

“I am not! I am attempting to stop a massacre that your king seems to make happen! My whole family ends up wiped out Mister McClure and I am left dead! Is that what you wish? You seem to think you owe me then help me stop this madness!” She whimpered.

 

“His majesty is not a typical Celtic wyvern. They are not black typically but he has power and he has gumption. We lesser dragons follow simply because we are no match.” He replied.

 

“He was leaving you for dead! The Dragon kami Tianlong really loves his fellow reptiles disregarding his kind! He will end up reigning wrath upon Drostan with all four paws I assure you! Our Kamis are real Mister McClure and they get pissy!” She yelled.

 

“Why would an Asian god give one damn about me?” He asked narrowing his beautiful green eyes.

 

“Because you are like him. You have the same type of blood that he does. You know what he is? He is an ancient dragon from bygone days and he has taken up residence in another plane. I have met him once and he is real and by the Kamis I will call upon him again if need be.” She said crying.

 

“My lady please do not cry. Please smile and feel good for this moment.” He said in a hurt tone.

 

“I should go to his shrine now and see if he will answer me!” She said wiping her face.

 

“What do you wish from me?” He asked.

 

“I wish for help! You were spared for a reason and I will not loose all I love for the likes of Drostan Mochrie!” She snapped.

 

She ported out quickly and appeared at a huge shrine to the dragon kami. She fell prostrate before his image and she sobbed.

 

“My lord hear your servant's cry please! Help me as I cannot see a way out and I need your guidance. Give me strength to do your will for your people.” She whined as she touched her forehead to the ground.

 

She heard nothing and she began sobbing. Her hands clutched at the ground and she felt all manner of helpless. She knew they were cheating by being in the modern era and she knew eventually that fate would have her way. She felt a touch on her shoulder and she looked up. Before her stood a male dragon of immense beauty. His hair was long, almost as long as her Uncle Sesshomaru. His eyes were as golden as his hair and his skin was bronzed. He knelt by her and made her sit up.

 

“You have never begged me before. Demanded yes but begged.” He smiled gently.

 

“My lord?” She asked stunned.

 

“Yes Akemi. I am real and yes you have seen me once before.” He said gently.

 

“Then why can I not stop this madness?” She asked.

 

“That is the thing Akemi, you are working towards a change. You all were given a second chance to change everything.” He said gently.

 

“Tell me what to do. Tell me how to wade through this.” She said as tears streamed down his face.

 

“I know not. I am a guardian and nothing more.” He stated with such gentleness.

 

She knelt by him and took his hands. She kissed his palms and he hissed softly. He had not been touched in such a long time and this tiny woman had been a favorite of his.

 

“Akemi, you have asked and I will keep closer watch.” He stated.

 

“I know you live in Soul Society and I know you have a life there.” She said looking up at him.

 

“Yes.” He said palming her cheek.

 

“My lord you have sway with Teruyoshi and perhaps the Tomoshibi?” She asked.

 

“I know them all.” He nodded.

 

“The other Tomoshibi can you have them watch as well. Please I beg you.” She said beginning to sob again.

 

His face held his sympathy and he pulled her into a hug. He adored this woman and the care she showed his kind was phenomenal. He would occasionally watch and he would occasionally do small things he could.

 

“I think you have the soul of a dragoness. I know not but all manner of reptiles are drawn to you.” He murmured.

 

“I am just the daughter of a hanyou and a miko.” She said crying into his haori.

 

She looked up at him and his heart broke for her. He knew the trials she suffered and he lowered his lips to her forehead. She turned her face up and she felt his lips brush close to her lips.

 

“Can you still change into your true form?” She whispered.

 

“Yes. I like to still sun myself.” He said softly.

 

“What are you able to do?” She asked.

 

“Small things. I am truly not a kami Akemi but you know that.” He said.

 

She looked up at him and she felt utterly safe in this shrine, she always had. She wondered if she truly was a reborn dragoness. She scented along his neck and he stiffened.

 

“Akemi you have not fed recently?” He asked.

 

“No. You smell so good my lord.” She whispered.

 

She was not asking but he guided her fangs to his neck. He sighed in pleasure as she sank her fangs deeply. He was totally wrapped up in the way her tiny body felt against his and he admonished himself severely. She belonged to his beloved descendent Ryukotsusei and he let her feed. He felt his body stir after such a long time.

 

“Beloved woman. I love you. I love your devotion to my people and I love the devotion you have shown my memory.” He said in a soft sigh.

 

“Help me.” She begged.

 

“I will do all I can. If you call I can hear you. I should return now.” He said running a hand through her silver hair.

 

She looked again at him and the look shattered his soul. Tianlong wrapped his arms around her protectively and held her tightly.

 

“What do you wish? Tell me something you wish and I will see it happen.” He said fiercely.

 

“Save Ryunosuke. Save him so I do not have to give that bastard myself. I will do it to save my son but I do not want to.” She said suddenly sobbing.

 

“Shall I reveal myself to this cretin wyvern? They are inelegant and not evolved Akemi.” He said lifting her face.

 

Her lips trembled and he was wrapped he realized. His uninvolvment could not continue. He knew Teruyoshi had deep feelings for this woman's cousin and if he was not careful then he would fall so deeply in love with her that he would betray his own peoples. He did however kiss her gently on the lips and her response shocked him. She opened her lips a little and she began kissing him deeply. How many times he had seen her fall asleep at the statue of his likeness? How many times he had wrapped his true form around her to comfort her? He threaded long elegant fingers into her hair and kissed her back. He tasted her and softly sucked on her tongue and ran his tongue along her palate. He was loosing his will and he suddenly pulled back.

 

“Lady Akemi, I will help you. Give me a little time but I will help you.” He said breathlessly.

 

“Thank you. What do you need? May I get you anything for you in Soul Society?” She asked.

 

“I would like you to rest. I would like you to sleep for a little while.” He said brushing his thumbs along her lips.

 

“Thank my lord. Thank you for answering me.” She said bowing low before him.

 

He nodded and she slipped from the shrine. He was breathless and he truly loved her spirit. He faded back into Soul Society and contemplated what a defunct ancient youkai could do for a beloved follower.

Yhea was angry as he watched his father sleep. He was furious at what he had found. He also knew that the one he had wanted for so long was still alive and mated to a whore that was tied to his uncle. He knew who the female was and he intended to punish her for touching Hanaj and Eyal. His eyes were cold and his father had been close to death. He stood up and he phased into Romania. He was careful and he watched his former nemesis and object of intense desire. He noticed a black haired female and a silver haired male. His eyes perused both uppyr from a distance and they both resembled the Hebrew uppyr. He followed the aura of his most beloved enemy and he saw him in a study and he was reading. He was filled with malice and with raging lust. He was one that did not care for sex and he was totally interested in the spirit of an individual. He always kept his preferences from his father and always rolled his eyes at the prude nature of his sire's court. Yhea watched Eyal and he was entranced still with his power. He phased in slowly and the uppyr ruler was up immediately.

 

“What the fuck?” Eyal cursed.

 

“Hello. I desired your beautiful belligerence. You have shortened your hair and you are clean shaven now. I must say it is striking.” He said with a smirk.

 

“I killed you.” He sneered.

 

“Perhaps you did but you have enemies besides wraiths it seems. Your female has pissed me off again. You are still entranced with the same harlot?” Yhea asked as he fingered a bookend.

 

“I have always loved her. Your demented ass has been lusting after my power.” Eyal snapped.

 

“Well how sweet. Shall I tell you what your lover has been doing or who she has been doing?” Yhea asked.

 

“A Shouten named Hanaj. Your uncle I believe.” Eyal smirked.

 

“So you know!” Yhea exclaimed shocked.

 

“Da. She is a succubus uppyr, who am I to control who she feeds from?” He asked.

 

“I am Shouten so should she care who I feed upon?” He retorted.

 

Yhea was on him suddenly and Eyal threw him with his mind. The Shouten prince was certain he loved the uppyr and hatred at being denied made him ill. He had turned his hatred into destroying Eyal. He knew this other blood drinker well and he craved his soul badly. He craved the goodness that he was. Yhea grabbed his neck and held him firmly. Eyal had always marveled at the other's physical strength. Shouten cut his own neck and guided the uppyr ruler to the wound.

 

“Drink or I will snap your neck and then your children's one by one. All three little uppyr brats in a row.” He threatened.

 

“Bastard!” Eyal hissed in fury.

 

“Do it Eyal or I will start killing.” He snarled.

 

He felt him sink his fangs in and he repressed his moans. He was being drugged by the bite and he did release a groan.

 

“Gods if you had just submitted. If you accepted me.” He snarled.

 

“Sick bastard!” Eyal growled.

 

“You are the sick one Eyal. Your kind denies what it was you once were. Shall I change my form so you feel better? Shall I be a female?” Yhea asked.

 

“I hate your demented self. You sicken me to the point of vomiting and you committed horrid crimes because you could! How could I care for that?” He demanded.

 

“Oh you stupid, stupid boy. I am your alpha and your omega. My father is powerful but I am more so. I do not limit myself and you will learn this. Your days will be numbered.” Yhea threatened.

 

“Bastard!” The uppyr king snarled.

 

Yhea got a twisted look of anger and he phased away down the stairs. Raping of the mind was more horrid then that of the body and he entered the silver haired son of his enemy. Asher fell to the floor in agony and Rina screamed. Jarek ran in and so did Eyal. He tried to mentally pry Yhea from him but he was holding on viciously.

 

“You think you will win Eyal? You think you will not suffer?” He said with Asher's lips.

 

“I swear I will enter Hueco Mundo and slice everyone of your family's' throats. I will make it where you have no where to go and no where to hide.” Eyal snarled cruelly.

 

“Bring it on. Good luck!” He snapped as Asher suddenly sagged.

 

Rina caught her younger brother and stared at her father.

 

“I have to find your Mama.” He said urgently.

 

“Father who was that?” She asked.

 

“Rina that is the reason for this damn hostility.” He said kneeling next to his youngest son.

 

Judafre rushed in and he saw his twin on the ground. He looked at the man that had been a second father to him and he sighed.

 

“Stay with him Judafre. I am going to your Mama.” He said standing.

 

Eyal ported to Tokyo and he found his beloved wife on the floor of her bathroom vomiting.

 

“Oh Asuna what have you done?” He asked softly.

 

“Tried to draw Hanaj away from his family.” She admitted.

 

“Well if he will not then I shall adopt this boy as my own. He will need instruction on being a blood drinker. Your Kaito did say that he could force a Shouten to a corporeal form?” He said rubbing her back.

 

“Hai. He said he would give up much of his power but he could be corporeal. He said it has to be done very soon after birth.” She admitted.

 

“Okay that is what we shall do. May I name him?” He asked softly.

 

“Hai.” She nodded softly.

 

“Beloved Yhea has been taken from the past I believe.” He said softly.

 

“The one that wanted you?” She asked horrified.

 

“Da. He took hold of Asher but Judafre is with him. Could you come to Romania for now?” He asked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

He ported them and she went to her son. She dipped into his mind and she began shaking in rage. Eyal looked at her and she was incensed.

 

“Did this Yhea ever rape your mind?” She asked in a furious growl.

 

“No.” He said furiously himself.

 

“Get Nobu Eyal. Asher suffers.” She said standing.

 

“Where are you going?” He asked suddenly nervous.

 

“Making him come to our side if he wants it or not!” Asuna snarled.

 

“You are making the Shouten prince come here?” He asked surprised.

 

“I am done playing games. This is going to end finally and it will end with the extinction of the tr'Awnhi!” She said porting out.

 

Rina and Judafre watched their mother and an evil smirk played on the uppyr princess's lips. Revenge was going to be had and she was going to gut a Shouten with glee.
