Anguish In the Face of Happiness

 

Asuna was in Kazakhstan again in so many days and she was in Hanaj's private shelter. She was on the living plane but she knew he was around.

 

“Well since you are going to be a fucking coward again, I will appear as though I am talking to myself. Your nephew it seems is alive and he just raped my son's mind! How can you continue in support of this Hanaj? How can you allow your family members to harm what is mine? Do you love me at all?” She yelled into the air.

 

-What I feel does not matter. - He thought.

 

“You refuse to become corporeal?” She demanded.

 

-I am exhausted so deal with it! - He snorted in her mind.

 

“Fine. Kaito tells me that he can make this babe have a corporeal form. If you cannot make the decision to stand by me then we are not in your life ever. Stay out of everything and completely leave us be.” She said with heaviness in her heart.

 

“How dare you!” He said from behind her.

 

“I will do what I have to.” She said coldly.

 

“You are the one that decided to beget yourself with my seed. Now you tell me you make him corporeal? How dare you!” He snapped.

 

“Why can you not choose us? Why?” She hissed.

 

“I am SHOUTEN!” He yelled.

 

“No you are a coward.” She said in a harsh whisper.

 

He smacked her forcefully and she glared at him. They could not get past the difference in species and she just ported away. He sank down and he wished he could just not deal with anything. He phased to her suddenly and he laid her on the dining table. He was so full of wrath but his feelings for her would not allow him to stay away. He was so tired and mentally exhausted but he sank his fangs into a breast. She groaned out as he took what he needed.

 

“Why can you not come to me? Why can you not give into this?” She asked softly.

 

A low growl was her answer and he was in a frenzy to abate his hunger. He lifted his head and he was still incensed. He caused her clothes to fade and opened her thighs. He could sense life within her now and he was loosing his mind to it. He lowered his mouth to her center and she screamed out in sudden rapture. He had gently slipped his fangs around her labia and Asuna was breathless. This way of feeding was intensely intimate and it filled her with such feeling. He lifted his head and he met her eyes with his.

 

“You allow me to touch you and feed from you where you are most vulnerable.” He murmured.

 

“Hai. I trust you even though I am furious with you.” She said through intense throbbing in her center.

 

“Damn you!” He moaned as he nipped at her nipples.

 

“Why damn me? Why do you say that?” She asked through the passion.

 

“I love members of my family and you make me love you. Gods I will kill the Tomoshibi if he lays one hand on my son.” He said in a lost voice.

 

“You wish to hate me.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“NO! I wish to love you and make love to you. I am so tired of this death! You do not help either when you show up and murder my siblings. You do not help when you hate as much as they do.” He said joining their bodies.

 

“But you could help by leaving them! What happened to Nveid?” She asked arching to meet his thrusts.

 

“He left for love. He left to be with the one woman who completed him. He left for Iyo.” Hanaj groaned in her ear.

 

Asuna was stunned to her core and he grasped her hands in his. He moved slowly to feel her intensely. Why she brought him peace he had no idea but this was what he craved this was who he wanted to be with.

 

“I am phasing into you.” He said as he did so.

 

He actually guided her movements and he used her fingers to plunge and touch herself. He was touching her from inside her soul and he stopped her from releasing this time. She whimpered and moaned out as the intensity increased.

 

“Hanaj! Please, please.” She moaned out.

 

-Bring it about. - He thought in her mind.

 

She was immersed in the raw sensuality as her fingers guided by him in his true form touched and fondled her body. She was whimpering and she could feel herself bordering on a black out.

 

-Stay with it. Let me take you completely. - He begged.

 

“What? What do you wish?” She managed to croak out.

 

-Will yourself into your spirit form. - He said caressing her thoughts.

 

She did as he asked and her body fell limp. Words could not describe what they were doing and Hanaj was in the sublime. She fell into a vast abyss of purity and light. She was weightless and her mind was simply being. What felt like forever and Hanaj pulled her back. She came to and her physical self felt raptures that left her weak in the aftermath. Her Shouten prince had begun a pace she could not keep up with and she was experiencing it as if in an altered state. He had never felt this on this level and he knew if it could be this with her then he was doomed completely. She was able to experience a pure Shouten coupling. He felt what he imagined heaven was and she was too weak but to moan out. The physical was exacting an even more profound response and Hanaj lost his strength and he lay against her as they felt utter rapture. Their bodies were trembling violently against the other and neither could stop the aftermath. The tremors lasted for awhile and he needed to phase out but he was hanging on. He wanted to feel this. He had hated his father but he knew his father had loved his mother passionately. His father had loved his two wives with insanity and he had kept them both with child too often. His mother's body had just given out. She was favored above Raganos's mother and his elder brother never forgot it. He felt Lei distantly and he smirked weakly. Asuna and he must have brought the younger man to his knees. He imagined the arrogant bastard needed her too and he felt gleeful at his discomfort. He eased his fangs into her neck and took deep draughts of her healing and power laced blood. This too seemed overly erotic and she was too weak to move. He could begin to taste Shouten blood mixing with hers and he was startled. He lifted his head and stared at her eyes.

 

“You carry his too?” Hanaj demanded.

 

“Part of my alliance.” She mumbled.

 

“You made a pact to deliver him a child and you manipulated me into it.” He said with narrowed eyes.

 

“Not my proudest moments but I have what I want.” She sighed.

 

“You carry a Jing and a tr'Awnhi. Damn woman you control your own cycles.” He said closing his eyes.

 

“Hai. I figured out how to induce it but it obviously does not always happen.” She said running her hand through his hair.

 

“Oh Asuna if Raganos gets wind of this; he will send all manner of beings after you. He will truly try and destroy you.” He muttered.

 

“Do you plan on telling him?” She demanded.

 

“Tell my brother that his hated enemy carries his nephew and that of his other bitter enemy?” He asked laughing.

 

“Hai.” She remarked.

 

“I must be crazy but not that crazy. You have always wanted to know what Raganos holds over me? It is sheer numbers. I am powerful; truly I am one of the strongest siblings but he has the loyalty of not only most of our brothers and sisters but those of the nobles of the Shouten and our huge extended family. My views are not popular.” Hanaj replied.

 

“You have strength in my family. Truly if Nveid did leave with Iyo then he has made his choice to have love over them. What do you choose?” She asked softly.

 

“I am crazy. I must be insane.” He murmured as he kissed her more.

 

He physically picked her up and brought her to the bed. He lay beside her and she guided his mouth to her other breast. He began to suckle her and he took in much needed blood. She was mewling next to him and he was slick with sweat and their combined essences. Hanaj gave up his fight, he gave up his heart and laid it bare to the woman beside him.

Lei was in a state as he tried in vain to ignore the two. He could not and he wanted to curse himself for binding to Asuna. He phased into her Tokyo home and he watched as Hanaj was feeding from her more.

 

“Be careful you do not drain her fool.” Lei sneered.

 

Hanaj lifted his head and his face showed disdain.

 

“What bothers you Lei? Does it bother you that she loves me? I know she loves you too and that irks me.” Hanaj replied in a rough whisper.

 

“You should have stayed away. I freed her of you and you should have stayed away.” Lei glowered.

 

“Shall I tell what I found out?” Hanaj taunted.

 

“What?” Lei scoffed.

 

“She carries my son and she carries your daughter.” He said with narrowed eyes.

 

“What? How can you know?” He demanded.

 

“She can smell it, imagine that handy ability?” Hanaj said lying on his back.

 

Lei squashed his hunger for the prince and he stared at her as she slept deeply. Both were naked and he was mentally groaning at what they had done.

 

“You really are attracted to me.” Hanaj said in disbelief.

 

“So what?” Lei growled.

 

“Our little situation does not help you does it? Pervert.” Hanaj chuckled.

 

“I feel you through her Prince Hanaj and let me tell you what a thrill it is. I do not have to touch you to know what it feels like to be with you.” Lei said smirking.

 

“The Kazak Shouten is not typically drawn to both Lei. My nephew was odd for us. I have no interest I assure you.” He growled.

 

“You are much too preachy.” Lei snapped.

 

The younger Shouten let his clothes phase away and he slipped into her bed as well. She murmured his name in her sleep and he looked smugly at Hanaj.

 

“Scoot over.” He demanded of the Shouten prince.

 

Hanaj grumbled and he had no intention of leaving her bed at the moment and it appeared that Lei had the same thought. Lei fell into a light sleep and his hand wandered in his sleep. Asuna woke up and she felt both Lei and Hanaj next to her.

 

“Hanaj? Lei?” She asked confused.

 

“Mhmm.” Hanaj mumbled sleepily.

 

“Yes?” Lei asked smirking at her.

 

“What is going on?” She asked.

 

“You and I were engaged and he showed up at the end. I was tired and very warm. He insisted that he stay so I ignore him.” Hanaj snapped.

 

“Okay.” She said still confused.

 

“He has very old fashioned ideas and I could really care less.” Lei grinned.

 

He was up and straddled her naked body with his. Hanaj was furious at the blatant little fool but he watched intrigued for a moment. He was disgusted with himself but the sight aroused him.

 

“You little whore. Well my darlings I have small ones to guard but I need a kiss from our mate and perhaps a quick nip of your lovely breasts.” Lei said lewdly.

 

Asuna knew why he was acting this way and she squeaked when he bent his head and pierced her tit with his fangs where Hanaj had fed. She groaned in the onslaught and Hanaj was incensed and fascinated. Lei phased out and her Shouten prince looked at her.

 

“He truly has no shame.” He said in annoyance.

 

“He is not shy.” She agreed.

 

“Bastard! My son better not be demented because of his daughter!” He snapped as he stood up.

 

“Lei is good with children. I was shocked to find it out but Haruya loves him to death.” She said as she watched him dress.

 

He scowled and he looked back at her. He had no idea what he was going to do but he intended to find Nveid. His elder brother was different now and he would do anything to please Iyo.

 

“Where are you going?” She asked standing.

 

“Hueco Mundo. Our joining has left me weak, that manner of bliss exacts a price on a Shouten. I will not return to them. I will remain on my own.” He said stiffly.

 

“What changed your mind?” She asked.

 

“I have never done what we did. I have never had that manner of perfection. I have never felt as if another was my soul. I cannot loose that. I cannot loose the mother of my child.” He said refusing to look at her.

 

She was affected by his words and he kissed her knuckles. He phased away and she could feel his violent emotions. The poor man had no idea when he had approached her that day in Hueco Mundo that he would leave his family for an uppyr onna. She felt his depression about leaving certain members of his family. Nalah kept popping into his head and he loved his younger sister very much. Asuna closed her eyes and she knew what she was doing was low but she would attempt to steal the Shouten female away. She knew exactly which of her sons to ask. She dressed and she pulled on a dressing gown and went to break her fast.

Tianlong was sitting within Teruyoshi's office and his long time acquaintance sat there dumbfounded.

 

“You intend to help the Lady of the Dragon Clan?” He asked shocked.

 

“She has taken such good care of my people Teru. When I lived too long and I left that plane, I handed over my clan to that of the Mizuchi. You saw what happened there.” He said thoughtfully.

 

“You have lived beyond what you can on the living plane Tian. You know this!” He said in annoyance.

 

“Yet you harbor feelings for her cousin?” The golden dragon said.

 

“I did not say I was not a fool.” The Captain General said.

 

“Yet you still feel. I have to help her some Teru. I have to do something.” He said standing.

 

“Good Kamis man you are in love with her!” Teru said in astonishment.

 

“I am in love with the idea of her. There is a difference Teru. She reminds me of my own lady. She reminds me Yingtai.” He said looking out at the Seireitei.

 

“I know you have not found her. I wish you could have been with her.” Teru said sighing.

 

“Perhaps I have found her. Perhaps Lady Akemi is Yingtai. How shall I ever truly know unless Kaito or one of his brothers is able to see? I will not burden the woman with my own feelings and I will remember my beautiful mate.” He said bowing to the fire kami.

 

“She was a hanyou and she would not remember.” Teru stated.

 

“I know. I know all this and I know the rules of your family. We lesser elders are along for the ride.” Tianlong stated with a gentle smile.

 

The ancient golden dragon walked along and he transported himself to the youkai portion of the Soul Society. He stared out from his small castle. He watched the blue sky and he dreamed of his hanyou mate who had been half water dragon. He remembered her pale blue eyes. Her gentle smile and her beautiful soul. He ached for his other half and Akemi truly did remind him of her. He had been a benevolent ruler and loved amongst the many dragons of his homeland in central China to that of the islands of Japan. He had set up a small kingdom for his sons in Japan and the family had ruled until the Ryuku Islands fell. He had noticed Akemi right away and he was fascinated with the tiny woman. He leaned back and closed his gold colored eyes. Teruyoshi was right and he was in love with her. It did not matter as his honor demanded he not touch her. He sighed and his life had been so long and he was tired. He wondered if he could die at this point. He rolled to his belly and he longed. He wondered if he should and he decided to see the wyvern for himself. He made it to the other plane and he was in modern London. The black haired reptile was in an opulent room and he knew the beast felt him.

 

“What are you?” Drostan demanded.

 

“A dragon. You are a wyvern.” He said elegantly.

 

Drostan could plainly see that this male was ancient and he was of obvious high birth.

 

“I am a wyvern. Who are you?” Drostan demanded coldly.

 

“I am Tianlong.” He replied.

 

“So you are not a myth. Why do you bother me old man?” Drostan demanded.

 

“I am watching and wondering why you bother the Lady Akemi.” Tianlong said softly.

 

“Because I want her. Why should that good for nothing water dragon have such beauty?” Drostan demanded.

 

“Because he is her chief mate. Why should he not have such beauty?” The golden reptile asked.

 

“Why do you bother me?” He snapped.

 

“She was in my shrine and begged of me to figure a way of helping her. She has been most devoted to my memory.” He said honestly.

 

“So she asked an ancient nobody to help her? You cannot do a thing can you? I will have what I want and I will make my enemies pay. Your water reptile offends me.” Drostan said standing.

 

“You offend me wyvern but I have not threatened you.” Tianlong said with a soft tone.

 

“You are weak. You are soft and you probably never fought a battle in your life!” Drostan sneered.

 

“You are quite wrong. I am watching wyvern. I am watching and you will suffer.” Tianlong said porting away.

 

He was troubled and he went to her as she slept. He lay beside her and he said nothing. He felt Ryukotsusei enter and he looked up. The dragon lord's mouth dropped open. He immediately went to his knee and he bowed his head.

 

“I am only here because she asked me for help. I am here for you all.” He said benignly.

 

“Master!” Ryukotsusei said in profound respect.

 

“Please do not my son. I watch over the best I can and I am honored to have you at the head of this family. Your mate is precious to me.” He said softly.

 

“She has been a follower of you since we mated.” He said with his head still bowed.

 

“Yes I know. She is a delight and I enjoy gazing upon her face if it does not bother you. I must go but be assured I am aware.” He said rising.

 

Ryukotsusei was in such awe and he kissed the ancient's hand with reverence. Tianlong bowed and he left the area. The dragon lord shook his mate gently and she woke up.

 

“Tianlong was here! He was here next to you!” He said numbly.

 

“Was he? Goodness.” She said softly.

 

“You asked him for guidance Akemi?” He asked.

 

“Hai Ryu. I had no idea where else to turn. I am afraid. I am so afraid.” She admitted.

 

“We will figure it out my love. We will figure it out soon.” He said hugging her.

 

She had tears glisten her eyes and she nodded. She waited until after he fell asleep. Most of the palace was asleep and Ang Chi slept with Hoshi near him always. She knew Daichi preferred to sleep up high and he was probably in the rafters. She ported to the Ryuku Islands and the ancient shrine that still stood. She was on her knees before his image and she was saying the same prayer over and over.

 

“Our eyes may see some uncleanliness, but let not our mind see things that are not clean. Our ears may hear some uncleanliness, but let not our mind hear things that are not clean. To do good is to be pure. To commit evil is to be impure.” She kept whispering.

 

He was moved beyond words and he refrained from coming to her. He chastised himself for revealing his presence at all. The more he watched her the more he was sure that it was Yingtai. He felt too much and he held back his pained heart.

 

“You fool why do you wait?” Kaito asked near him.

 

“Is it my mate?” He asked in such a wounded tone.

 

“I see her in this body. You listen to Teru?” Kaito demanded.

 

“He is the son of the king Kaito.” Tianlong said sighing.

 

“So? When has the king given a damn what we do?” He asked darkly.

 

“I am no rebel my old friend. You must follow your own heart but I am one to follow tradition.” He said bowing his head.

 

“Idiot! Go to her!” Kaito said in annoyance.

 

Kaito actually shoved him into the other plane and he was stunned by the Tomoshibi's actions. His old friend was up to his old ways and he sighed. Akemi jumped up and he actually looked sheepish.

 

“You showed yourself to Ryukotsusei?” She asked.

 

“I apologize if you are stressed.” He stated.

 

“No. I am glad he saw you.” She murmured.

 

“What are you thinking Akemi? Your brow always wrinkles a little when you are deep in thought.” Tian said gently.

 

“Who was I? I was a dragoness was I not?” She asked.

 

“I know not.” He lied.

 

“Please tell me. Who was I my lord?” She asked.

 

“I do not know Lady Akemi. You are a lovely woman and my heart is touched.” He stated.

 

“I am uppyr now. I can hear your mind hum. I feel your anguish and I know you feel it because of me.” She stated.

 

“Old pain Lady Akemi. You and my beloved mate both had blue eyes. Your eyes remind me of her is all.” He mumbled.

 

“What was her name?” She asked.

 

“Yingtai. Now I must go and you must rest.” He commanded.

 

She stood on her tiptoes and she pulled him down. She ghosted her lips over his and he closed his eyes. He accepted her small offering and he held her face. For a moment he lost his will again. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and he possessed her. Their feelings were so much and Tian was shaking as he continued to slowly taste and mate her tongue. He pulled back first and he met her eyes.

 

“I should not have.” He said in anger at himself.

 

“Why do you feel such sadness?” She asked.

 

“I do not know. I know I miss her. She gave me many young ones and she was beautiful but her soul was just like her outward appearance. I was so honored to have her in my life. She was half mortal and half dragon.” He said smoothing her hair.

 

“A hanyou like me.” She said softly.

 

“Yes.” He acknowledged.

 

He felt her hands slip inside of his haori and he tried to nod no. Akemi did not care and she slowly began to run her tongue along his exposed chest. His eyes shut and this was too much for him.

 

“Akemi stop! You are Ryukotsusei's mate. You belong to him in this life. My time is gone. I am only a reminder, do you not see?” He asked.

 

“No, I do not. Tell me why I feel this! Tell me why I feel so much when I am here.” She demanded.

 

“I do not know. I do not have an answer. I am only a guardian.” He stated with softness in his voice.

 

“Why such an interest in a mongrel like me?” She demanded harshly.

 

“Do not say that! Do not ever say that again.” Tian stated with anger in his gold eyes.

 

“Was I your mate at one time?” She asked.

 

“I think so. I think that yes you most likely are her.” He said closing his eyes.

 

Akemi looked down and she felt such heaviness in her heart. She had to talk to her cousin and she began to wildly kiss him again. She could not still her hands and she was undoing his old style haori and hakama. He was trying to not respond and he was loosing his internal battle. His hands opened her yukata and slipped it down her shoulders. Her skin was so soft and her body so perfect. He let down her hair and he hurt. He had been alone for so long.

 

“This is wrong. I am so flattered that you find me desirable. I have been chaste for a long while.” He stated in her ear.

 

“Why? Why do you have to suffer?” She asked.

 

“I love her still so much. I am dragon and this is our way. You have known mates to die of broken hearts when their other self has passed on.” He stated with profound sadness.

 

“If I am she then why is it wrong?” She asked in a small voice.

 

“Because you are a new life this time. You may have been her at one time but you have gained memories and life experiences that were not hers. I have been alive for nearly ten thousand years sweet woman. She was with me for my first two millenniums. Now let this go.” He commanded with such tenderness.

 

Akemi's chest was heaving and he slowly ported out. She threw herself down on the tatami mats and cried her heart out. After a good while she ported to Tokyo and she appeared at her cousin's door. She knocked and Asuna answered. She grabbed her and held on as she cried softly.

 

“Akemi? What is it? Tell me.” Asuna demanded.

 

“How do you handle a previous life? How do you remember?” She asked almost hysterical.

 

“Do you think you have lived before?” She asked.

 

“Hai. You know the myths of Tianlong; you know the dragon of heaven?” She asked wiping her eyes.

 

“Hai.” Asuna nodded.

 

“He is real Suna. He is real and he is beautiful. He has such a calming and resting nature. I have been long devoted to his shrines in dragon lands. I saw him once before long ago but I have felt his presence many times.” She explained.

 

“He is an elder.” She said in understanding.

 

“Hai. He just said he is ten thousand years old. He said that he thinks I may have been his mate. Asuna, what do I do?” She asked perplexed.

 

“I would have chosen not to remember Akemi. Those memories can be painful beyond endure. They can make you bitter and make you wish for the peace that death could bring.” She replied honestly.

 

“I feel like I do with Ryukotsusei. I think I was a dragon hanyou Asuna.” She lamented.

 

“A dragon hanyou? You think you were half ningen then too?” She asked surprised.

 

“Hai. I do think so.” Akemi said softly.

 

“I can take you into Soul Society. Would you like that?” Asuna asked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

Asuna moved and she produced the medallion that allowed her in. They ported outside in a nearby park and she made it work. They slipped inside the gate and Asuna looked around. She nodded to Akemi and pointed to a distant looking city.

 

“That is the youkai portion. I will be in the Seireitei okay?” She said.

 

“Hai and thank you.” She said hugging Asuna.

 

She nodded and Asuna ported to the Captain General's office. Teruyoshi looked up and he stared at her. He could feel wraiths in her but he could not feel anymore. He stood up and he knew what he had done was tantamount to insanity but he was sick of Kaito breaking every single rule laid out. He was sick of pining and he was damn well going to do something. He watched the inu-uppyr onna and his lips met hers.

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

Akemi followed the aura she knew and she ported to a small but opulent castle. She was astonished at the supposed after life and she slipped inside. She followed his soothing aura and she found him in his true form. He was sunning himself and he was in a ball. He slept and it appeared deeply. Akemi touched his side and he jerked his head up. His mouth went agape and he stared at her.

 

“Akemi?” He asked shocked.

 

“The Captain General gave Asuna a way into Soul Society himself. He felt it prudent since Yuzuna, Saaya, and Mizuki were all mated to captains.” She explained.

 

“I had not known. I knew that your cousins were mated to shinigami but not that Teru had given your cousin a way in. How very odd of him.” He said floored.

 

“Hai. It seems it was not his norm. I need to talk to you. I cannot just leave this alone. I have been jerked around and used ill very much as of late. I have been tempted and damn near killed and I wish to understand. My world is falling to pieces and you have always made me feel safe; even if I was only in front of your image.” She said touching his scales.

 

“You ask just a little much Akemi. You wish to know and I cannot be the one to do such a thing.” He said then changed form.

 

Her chest hurt and the next thing he knew she was in his arms and his hands were buried in her hair. It was wild and filled with such momentous passion as their lips melded and their teeth nipped. Tian was dizzy and he felt her bare his chest again. He felt her mouth against his skin and inflamed was a poor word for the sensations coursing through his frame. She housed his mate's soul but she was more intense. She had no compunction in taking charge of what she wanted and he was her victim so to speak. He was aware but barely that he was now on his back in his garden and she was leaving passionate caresses down his belly. She was nipping at any flesh she could find and he grunted as she made his ancient body stir. Tian managed to open his eyes and she bared his male flesh. He meant to say something but she slid her warm mouth around him and he released a strangled cry. She wanted to please him as he had touched her life though his had been silently. The sensations were amazing and his hands were buried in her hair. She was running her tongue along his staff and massaged along the tip. He was seized up in the pleasure and he made a noise.

 

“Akemi. Please no. So close.” He tried to say coherently.

 

He threw back his head and she had taken to sucking tighter and her tongue rubbed along him. He roared out as he came and she gloried in him. His hands were shaking as she lifted her head. Her eyes were red and he was utterly entranced. He was also beyond hope of stopping. He jerked her forward and his lips wrapped around a nipple and he held her tightly as he deeply suckled her tip. Akemi gasped as the sensation was harsh and felt so damn good at the same time. His tongue massaged her nipple much the same way as she had pleasured him. She was moaning hard and he laid her back. He lifted his head and he groaned as she was wanton. He kissed down her belly till he reached her silver curls. He knew crushing guilt but he wanted to feel. He spread her open and dove his tongue inside of her. Tian tasted her purity and it made him groan more. She was squirming as he could not stop. She ended up arching her hips and screaming out as she felt a quaking deep in her soul. He lifted his head as he watched her feel her end. Tian was trying to get his feral mind back under wraps and she lifted her head a little. Her lips were swollen from her biting them and her red eyes were molten.

 

“We need this.” She whispered.

 

“But…” he whispered back.

 

“Come to me please. Too long. Do not make us suffer.” She said as a single tear fell down her cheek.

 

He moved to her and Tian slowly pushed in. He shut his eyes to feel the exquisite perfection again. Akemi was his beloved reborn. He knew it now and he was making such mournful noises. They wrapped around the other and made such sorrowful noises. He had no clue why he was doing this and he was barely able to move. Akemi was saddened and emboldened by the intense encounter. Drostan made her feel dirty and this male made her feel pure. His long golden hair was around them and his eyes were straining to change to emerald. She began to roll her hips hard as she increased the friction. Tian was grasping at staying in reality but he found he could not with such profound feeling he was immersed in. He clutched her tightly and helped guide her harder. Something was unleashed through him and he thought maybe that this was the end finally and he roared like the dragon he was. Akemi was rasping against him as her spiritual powers were washing through them both. She sank her fangs into his elegant neck and he roared more softly as she took him in. He was blinded by a second release that followed so closely to the first. He held onto her for dear life and he collapsed backwards onto his back. She laid her ear against his chest and his breathing was harsh. His former mate was so very different but so much the same. He was unable to form words and she stayed quiet as she just listened to his rapidly beating heart.

 

“Never defiled a kami before.” She said teasingly.

 

He chuckled heartily and then began laughing harder at the idea of himself as a god. He held onto her and he kissed her forehead.

 

“If I am a god then you are an angel.” He chuckled.

 

“Oh I am so angelic. I am naughty now and then. I do not remember being your mate but I know I was.” She said softly.

 

“It does not matter anymore Akemi. You lived more then two thousand years. You made me the happiest man on the earth.” He admitted.

 

“How many did I give you?” She asked softly.

 

“Many young ones. Close to thirty in two millenniums.” He said softy.

 

“They are not all dead surely?” She asked concerned.

 

“No. Many of them lived. Where do you think all the dragon deities came from?” He smiled.

 

“Good. Although I wonder how I handled having that many dragon babes? I had Ryuu and Ryunosuke and it was awful.” She laughed.

 

“You died in child birth.” He sighed.

 

“Oh.” Akemi said dumbly.

 

“Yes. I should not have done this.” He said gently pulling away from her.

 

“Why? Drostan covets me and supposedly a green dragon does too! Why cannot I have who I am supposed to be with?” She demanded.

 

“Because you passed away and have been reborn as is natural. Now you are mated to our descendent many times over. He is a good man and does not need the founder of his house to steal his woman.” He said standing.

 

“You are an elder now. You cannot dwell on that plane.” She said looking at him.

 

“I can if I so choose but what is there for me?” He asked.

 

“Me.” She said miffed.

 

He looked at her stunned and she suddenly pulled on her yukata. She ported to the Seireitei to find Asuna. She was wandering and she was suddenly miserable. Her cousin appeared forthwith and held her face.

 

“Not what you expected?” She asked.

 

“Oh I see where Ryukotsusei gets the honor thing from. He is so much like him that is insane. He laments for still loving me. Damn dragons and their damn morality.” She growled.

 

“Calm yourself.” Asuna smiled.

 

“Well what did you do when you remembered Sorami and Akana?” She demanded

 

“Pretty well took Naraku and Shezmu till they could not stand. Honestly I was ruthless with Shezmu-sama.” She chuckled.

 

“Why have you not gone for him? Why have you let his ridiculous inu nature dictate to you?” She asked.

 

“Because I promised.” She sighed.

 

“You visit the Captain General?” Akemi asked.

 

“I did. We argued as normal and I kissed him. I did nothing else but he had to return to his castle to change clothes.” Asuna said smirking evilly.

 

“Good girl.” She smirked at her beloved cousin.

 

“Come let us go. I have a feeling you will see the dragon kami again.” Asuna smiled.

 

“I do not know.” She said sadly.

 

Asuna produced a gate and Teru was in shock. He had actually listened and she had lied. Asuna was keeping their encounters secret and he had a feeling it was to protect him against Kaito. He snorted and his longtime, former best friend was right. He had been the reason he had been imprisoned. When Asuna had been restored; he took a chance. Truly he was sick of Kaito breaking every single rule of his family and he frankly was tired of waiting for the inu onna. He changed back into the Captain General and went back to his business. He needed to call on Byakuya and see what was going on Hueco Mundo.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Things had been beautifully done and he was quite proud of himself. She had no idea who he had been and he figured she deserved a little payback. He pulled on black gloves and he stared at himself. Yes, it would be good to see her again after all she had done. She deserved to wonder. He intended to strike now and then and then make her truly see him. It was nice to fully know the truth and he would see to it that she saw his. Yes, Lady Asuna was going to pay.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hanaj stood in the deep desert of Hueco Mundo and he felt his elder brother. He walked up to the small dwelling and he was astonished that his snotty brother had given up riches and palaces for one woman. Miracles never ceased and he knocked on the door. It was thrown open by a much harried Iyo. She smiled at Hanaj and he could not help but smile back.

 

“Hello Prince Hanaj. Nveid is hunting at the moment.” She said smiling.

 

“You have babes?” He asked shocked.

 

“Hai well I was with Ulquiorra for awhile but I pushed him back to Rishou and Erena. Nveid and I had a rather impertinent moment awhile back and well.” She shrugged.

 

Hanaj smiled widely and he stepped in. He saw Nveid's son and he was entranced. The little boy had silver eyes similar to his own and soft black hair. He was a miniature Nveid and he ran his finger along his cheek.

 

“He is so wonderful!” He exclaimed.

 

“How is Haha?” She asked.

 

“She is your mother.” He said looking up and smiling.

 

“Hello Hanaj.” Nveid said as he stepped in.

 

“Hello big brother! Been busy?” Hanaj teased.

 

“Yes well.” He said actually blushing.

 

“You look happy. I am happy for you.” He said softly.

 

“Thank you. You have no idea what you did for me.” Nveid said softly.

 

“Well I wish things were simple. May we talk?” He asked.

 

“Yes. Iyo my darling I will return shortly.” He said kissing her palm.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

Both males exited the dwelling and they walked in the white sand and moon overhead.

 

“Her mother is something. She has forced my hand and I have sworn I will not return. Yhea is somehow returned.” He sighed.

 

“How did the woman force your hand Hanaj?” Nveid asked.

 

“I am to be a father.” He said meeting his elder brother's eyes.

 

“She purposely allowed herself to get with your child?” He asked totally shocked.

 

“Yes she did. I love her and hate her at the same time. I hate being forced to do something I am not totally ready for and now I am to be a father. I am having a son.” He stated staring at the forever night.

 

“She is a powerhouse and a damn bully at times. That much I do know. She did not earn my nickname I gave her for nothing. She is an expert at killing.” Nveid said.

 

“She also can experience a Shouten in their true form. Brother I have never felt such.” He admitted.

 

“Awe yes well that is what made me fall so head over heels for Iyo. She is a first time soul. She is a pure one. I also thought her stunning when she was a corporeal but dear Gods she is perfection now.” Nveid admitted.

 

“Well her mother is something, what I have not figured out but I knew the second I saw her how much I wanted to experience her but I had no clue she would draw me in so damn much. I cannot go back now Nveid and I have to stop Yhea. You know what he is capable of. If he finds our women and our children, you know he will try and kill them. He will kill our sons for our choosing them. Raganos will be right behind him.” Hanaj said.

 

“I know. I also know I am no fan of your woman. She would let the uppyr king at me in a heart beat.” He said gritting his teeth.

 

“I know you have changed but what did you do to them? You did terrible things and they were bound to hate you. I would never have done what you did brother, never!” He said with raised brows.

 

“I thought I was doing what was in the best interest of our family, I was wrong.” He sighed heavily.

 

“Beg her forgiveness. She is a lot more understanding then the uppyr king and besides with Yhea around he will care more for that.” Hanaj stated.

 

“What is it you want brother? You wish me to go against our family too?” He asked.

 

“Yes. You love her and I love her mother. They are what should concern us. Remember our mother. Remember how things used to be Nveid and tell me you do not want that for your sons.” He stated.

 

“I do. I remember mother. I remember Arrhae tr'Awnhi and how much our father loved her. I remember how much he cried when she died. I also remember when that uppyr got a hold of Nalah.” Nveid stated.

 

“I know. I am going back for her. I am going back for our little sister.” Hanaj said fiercely.

 

“I am here.” Nveid stated.

 

“Thank you.” He said bowing.

 

He phased back into the living plane and he wondered what the hell he was supposed to do.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asher was awake and he had vomited after he remembered. His mother was there and she pressed a cup of cold water to his lips. He swallowed and he looked at her with haunted eyes.

 

“I am sorry.” She said softly.

 

“He wants Papa. He wants him so badly that he will kill us all to get to him.” Asher said scowling.

 

“Can you do something?” She asked.

 

“Da I am sure I can manage. What is it Mama?” He asked.

 

“There is Shouten female named Nalah. I want her away from the Kazak Shouten. She is important to Hanaj and therefore I will not see her harmed. I get the impression that perhaps my grand sire Stasio did something to her. You are uppyr and can handle a Shouten.” She said softly.

 

“Will we attack them again? Will you allow us to go at them too?” Asher demanded.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“Then I will do whatever it takes Mama.” He said sitting up.

 

She knew he was livid but she ported with him to the in between gate. His eyes widened and she followed him. Asher knew what she wanted. She wanted him to seduce the Shouten woman. He would do whatever to make a blow against the other tr'Awnhi. She ported them to a smaller palace in Astana. She could see the silver eyed and dark brown hair of the wraith onna Nalah. The Shouten seemed to be shaken up and the guard was heavy. Asuna smirked and so did Asher. She ported them inside and she followed her nose. They found some chambers that were simple in chocolates and blacks. Asher could feel a presence and he turned to see a beauty before him. She seemed shocked to see the silver haired daemons and her face held fear.

 

“What do you want?” She asked.

 

“Nalah?” Asuna demanded.

 

“Yes.” She answered lifting her head.

 

“You are coming with us.” Asher said almost coldly.

 

“Why should I?” She demanded.

 

“Because Hanaj would want you to.” Asuna said flatly.

 

“Hanaj? Where is he? Where is my brother?” She demanded.

 

“I know you have no reason to trust us but I would not harm someone Hanaj loved.” Asuna said simply.

 

“Why would you care? I have seen you here and you have killed my family left and right!” She cried.

 

“Listen woman come now or I will drag you.” Asher snapped.

 

“Son!” Asuna said in a growl.

 

Nalah looked at them both and she went to scream. Asher grabbed her and he scented her neck. He was furious at what the one known as Yhea had done to him and what he wanted of his father.

 

“Nalah we will not hurt you but you need to come with us. Hanaj misses you and I will not have a reason for him to be here.” Asuna said flatly.

 

“You are uppyr!” She growled.

 

“Listen to my Mama wraith.” Asher said in anger.

 

“Asher!” She hissed.

 

He growled in anger and they ported to the in between. They pulled her through and she was snarling as she tried to free herself. Asuna slapped her softly and she hissed.

 

“Take her to Tatra.” She commanded.

 

“Da.” He said smirking.

 

“Asher, I mean it. Lay one hand on her and I will whip you soundly.” She growled and she ported out.

 

“Fine! Shall I tell you what your nephew did? Shall I tell you how he tortures?” Asher sneered.

 

“Yhea is not right.” She said trembling.

 

“You bet he is not right.” The silver haired uppyr male said.

 

She watched him with her silver eyes and he was angry. She tentatively touched his mind and she shrank back from his hatred. Yhea had violated him terribly and he was looking for revenge. She lifted her head and she stepped back more.

“You dare enter my mind?” He asked furiously.

 

“I am not Yhea.” She said softly.

 

He stared at her and he was disgusted terribly at what the male had done. He stared at with her cold brown eyes and he watched her.

 

“No you are not. I have no idea why my mother would save one of your kind. She should kill you all for the evils done.” He said shaking in anger.

 

Nalah stood and she was wary of this powerful but young uppyr. She neared him and his snarl made her more nervous. She reached for him and he raised his claws. She moved swiftly and wrapped her arms around him. Asher was shocked and she was only holding onto him tightly.

 

“Yhea is a monster.” She whispered in his ear.

 

“Da.” He snarled softly.

 

“Please know I am not like him. I am Shouten but I am not Yhea or Raganos.” She whispered.

 

“Why say this? Why tell a bitter enemy that?” He demanded.

 

“Because Hanaj has always said and continues to say that hatred only leads to more hatred. We should be embracing the daemons who are most like us. He says that Raganos will lead us into extinction. I want to live uppyr. I want to love. I do not want to hate.” She said urgently to him.

 

Asher looked at her and he was feeling intense hatred of Yhea. He also was feeling dirty for what he had done. He held her jaw in a painful grip and he nipped her lips. Nalah yelped in sudden fear and Asher refused to do what was done to him. He grip softened and he decided to show her that uppyr were better any day. He kissed her lips several times and she was not a strong one like her brothers. Thei and Sindari had been born strong but she had been born fairly benign. Her father had adored her because of her likeness to her mother. Asher only kissed her and gently shoved her away.

 

“I am not wraith. I have no need to rape anyone.” He said leaving her alone.

 

Nalah looked around and she was afraid. She went to a chair and sank down.

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

She slept and suddenly she was hauled up and her lips guided to a throat.

 

“Feed. Glutton yourself now!” Asher commanded.

 

She snarled against his neck and he pressed her lips to his throat harder.

 

“You will not loose your form now. Feed!” He demanded.

 

He felt her fangs sink into his skin and he shut his eyes. Her bite was pleasant but he knew what his could do. She was barely drinking and he growled furiously.

 

“Harder. Take me in now!” He snapped.

 

She whimpered and she sank her fangs in harder. His eyes rolled back. He could not bring himself to touch her in a sexual manner and he would keep her here. He felt her feed deeply and she finally pulled back. His blood stained her lips and a little dripped from the corner.

 

“Sleep or do whatever. You will not need to go into that wasteland you call a home.” He fumed.

 

“It is not supposed to be what he did to you.” She cried softly.

 

“What is it supposed to be? Something to make a partner feel sleazy? I am no one's whore but most especially not a Shouten and most certainly not a male!” He raged.

 

“It is supposed to be wonderful.” She said trying to calm him.

 

“I have not harmed you woman. Show some spine.” Asher snapped.

 

“Show some spine? You and that woman take me against my will and hold me here. I have no proof that you do this for Hanaj and you are belligerent. How am I supposed to react?” She asked coldly.

 

“You are right. Shouten are cowards.” He snapped getting up.

 

“You are so wrong about us. You make judgments off of Yhea and Raganos. I am sorry he did that. It is a sin to do against another Shouten. It is horrid.” She cried.

 

“But it is okay against us?” He seethed.

 

“No. I find it horrid okay? What Yhea did is supposed to be about passion and love. It is not supposed to be about hurting another.” Nalah sighed.

 

Asher stared at her and he was angry. He watched her silver eyes hold sympathy. Anger clouded his mind and she suddenly had him under her. She was taking a chance but she needed to see what Yhea had done. She lowered shaking lips to the male who was younger then she and she connected their lips. She bit into his tongue and this bite was intense. He could taste his own life force mixed with her own taste and it was heady. He strained to deepen it but she kept it just so. Asher shoved her off and he stared down at her.

 

“Tease.” He snapped.

 

“I am not trying to be.” She cried.

 

“You want to see what an uppyr can do? My mother has succubus in her. You know what? Makes my father loose his mind.” He grinned.

 

He ripped open her long dress and he exposed pale, creamy breasts. Her tips were very pale pink and he could see veins in her globes. He cupped one and she was nice. His eyes roved her and she stared at him defiantly. He lowered his lips and lightly licked at her nipple. Nalah released a soft sigh and he watched her closely.

 

“Stop it!” He growled.

 

“Do you intend to rape me the way Yhea raped you?” She asked softly.

 

“NO.” He growled again.

 

Asher actually lowered his lips to hers and began a torturously slow kiss and she could not help but respond. He used the hand he was cupping her breast and he used his thumb to brush the sensitive tip. She mewled into his mouth and Asher was pleased. He pulled back his lips and lowered his head to suckle her with the slightest of pressure. Nalah was feeling a little moisture and she squirmed. Asher said nothing and he slowly moved down her. He used very little pressure and spread her thighs wide open. She was glistening and lust went straight to his groin but he suppressed himself. He used his tongue to taste her. She groaned as he began to nibble on her nub. Her upper body shot up and she was gasping as he continued his carnal assault. He slipped a single finger inside of her now slick core and reached deeply. She began breathing hard and quickly as he sucked hard on her nub and her massaged her “g” spot. She was crying out loudly and shamelessly rolling her hips. When he bit her clit with a little more pressure; she expected pain but she was thrown to the very edge and he pulled back completely. A very small bit of blood graced his lips and she looked at him as if he was insane.

 

“Wh-what?” She asked dumbfounded.

 

“I am sleepy. Please enjoy your stay in Tatra.” He said almost cruelly.

 

“You stop? You stop now?” She asked yelling.

 

“I am not a monster woman. I can control myself fully. I was unsure if your cries were of pain or pleasure so I shall take the high road so to speak. That is the difference between us uppyr and you filthy Shouten!” He snapped.

 

“I am so filthy? You did not seem to mind getting your mouth dirty!” She hissed at him.

 

Asher turned red and left her room in a fury. He hoped she ached like hell and he hoped she suffered.

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

Their pattern was set up for the next several days. They ended up teasing the other to madness and they insulted the other. Nalah found herself looking forward to his visits to feed her. He was incredibly beautiful and he oozed power but he was also deep. He walked in and he was reading a leather bound book that he threw at her. She caught it and stared up at him curiosity piqued.

 

“History of Central Asia.” He muttered.

 

He knelt by her and he bared his neck. She stared at him and her silver eyes were filled with mad desire. He refused to acknowledge it and she sighed. She sank her fangs and she began to feed from him. She had begun to draw deeply and licked the wounds softly. He slammed up his mental shields and his twin had mentally heard the moans from his mind a few times. Judafre kept him company and had spied on the pretty Shouten several times. Asher was obviously aroused by her but he still mentally shuddered when he thought about the damn wraith. Nalah pulled back and her lips hovered near his cheek.

 

“Thank you.” She whispered.

 

“For what?” He demanded.

 

“For the book.” She muttered.

 

“Would you have let me take you the other day?” Asher asked.

 

“No.” She snapped.

 

“I see. You are always wanton?” He demanded.

 

“If you must know, I am a priestess. I entered a nunnery basically when one of your kind defiled me. I have very little experience and less inclination to care. What is copulation anyway?” She shrugged.

 

Asher was floored and he stared at her.

 

“Who?” He demanded.

 

“It does not matter. I am sure he is dead and it was long ago.” She said sighing.

 

He stood up and he was shocked to his core.

 

“That is what hate does my young captor. It is a catalyst to death and horrible deeds. I hope you feel better after what my awful nephew did and I pray you find peace. There has been too much hate for too long.” She said as she rolled away from him and began reading the book.

 

He pulled her back to stare at him and he gathered her in his arms.

 

“I have never felt so vulnerable in my four centuries. I have never felt so weak and useless. I have never been prey to anyone and let alone another male. I have seen your people tear my family to shreds for so long.” He said softly.

 

“I know. I am so sorry Prince Asher. I am sorry you became a victim of their evil.” She sighed.

 

“So maybe we heal the other.” He stated meeting her eyes.

 

“Then shall I tell you my name?” She asked.

 

“Da.” He nodded.

 

“I am Nalah.” She said bowing her head.

 

“I am Asher Tepest.” He said bowing his own head.

 

“You are pretty.” She smiled.

 

“You are gorgeous.” He replied.

 

“Well shall we be friends?” She asked.

 

Asher watched her face and he sat on the bed. His hands became laced in her hair and he watched her face.

 

“You need to know what it is like.” He said calmly.

 

“You had me quite close the other day but I am fine.” She smiled.

 

“Not good enough. May I taste you?” He asked moving her long dark brown hair.

 

“I suppose since I have fed from you.” She shrugged.

 

He tipped her head a little and exposed her neck. He bared his fangs and lowered them into the vein. Her eyes shut and she began to feel more pressure and her mind was reacting to the pleasure.

 

“Oh Gods. What is this?” She groaned.

 

He did not stop and he continued to make her experience what he was doing. She was crying out and he began to drag her down an invisible wall. She was plummeting and she was overtaken in a tremendous explosion. She held onto his form as she screamed. She was in raptures and he gently lowered her to the bed. He did nothing else and he eyed her carefully.

 

“That was…incredible.” She sighed softly.

 

“That was what an uppyr does.” Asher murmured.

 

“Lay down.” Nalah smiled.

 

Asher lay beside her and turned his head to watch her. She phased out and very gently entered him. She began to caress and stroke his thoughts and memories. Asher was groaning immediately as he felt her so deeply. She was brushing along now raw and exposed nerve endings as she continued to move within his body and soul. He touched his member as he was harder then he had ever been in his life. He moved his jeans down enough to expose his staff and wrapped his own hand around the erect flesh. His eyes were squeezed shut and his voice was nearly gone. He worked it till he was left breathless and he grunted loudly as she had touched him phantomlike inside of his deepest soul. His body stiffened as he spilled over his hand and belly. He was panting and Nalah slowly became corporeal. She was so affected by the sight and she stared at him in awe.

 

“Asher? Tell me how that was for you.” She said gently.

 

“That was nice.” He said dumbly.

 

“Nice?” She asked smiling a little.

 

“God that was great actually.” He said sheepishly.

 

“What you did was incredible as well.” She murmured.

 

“I think we should stop okay?” Asher said as he pushed himself up.

 

“Okay.” She said confused.

 

“I need to eat.” He said.

 

“You may feed from me.” Nalah said.

 

“Nalah, I am in a blood lust. I may hurt you. I do not want you to think that all of us uppyr are evil sons of bitches.” He said trying to dress.

 

“I am a blood drinker. I can handle a blood lust.” She pouted.

 

“Shall I tell you what I want? I want to rest your legs upon my shoulders and slip inside of you. I want to pierce your breast as I feed from you as I bring you to such a massive release that you will not stand for a time. That is what I want. Now stop pouting and let me go.” He said in an irked tone.

 

“Will it hurt?” She asked softly.

 

“NO!” He growled.

 

“Then can you please do what you wish. I assure you I am ready.” She said softly.

 

Asher was surprised at her honesty and he suddenly stripped out of his modern trappings. He pulled the rest of her silk dress away and he watched her face as he pushed in deeply. He choked at how tight she was and she made a beautiful long moan. His breathing was rough and he adjusted them both. He had rested her legs against his shoulders and the penetration was sublime. She looked ravishing as she moaned louder beneath him. He did exactly as he described and the end left him reeling. He was on his back with her latched onto his neck feeding. He groaned as she took her fill and she looked down at him.

 

“That was nice.” She teased.

 

“Nice? That was fantastic.” He growled.

 

She smirked at him and he pulled her to the edge of the bed and opened her thighs. He had just a tad of canine in him and he intended to waste not.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hanaj stared at Asuna and she had calmly told him that she had taken Nalah. He was dumbfounded and his mouth was dropped open. She stood and closed it for him and she slipped from her dressing gown.

 

“Why would you do that?” He demanded.

 

“Because. You were torn up about leaving your sister. She is well and Asher says she is quite beautiful.” She said slipping into her tub.

 

“Are you out of your mind?” He yelled.

 

“I suppose so. Have you been well my darling?” She asked smiling.

 

The water was filling and she was simmering. Hanaj was completely shocked and stunned but she looked so damn delicious all wet and alluring. He made a rude noise and he stripped out of his clothes. He managed to arrange them in the huge tub and he took her hard. Hanaj was lying back on the opposite side and he eyed her. She looked absolutely sated as she seemed to enjoy the hot water.

 

“Nalah is with Asher Tepest?” He asked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“You have truly taken me from me. There truly is nothing for me to go back to.” Hanaj mused.

 

“You know you and Lei could learn to get along.” She said raising a brow.

 

“You ask the impossible.” He said in amusement.

 

She moaned softly and he watched her fall asleep. She had stolen his heart and his soul. He picked her up and put her in bed. He tucked her in and he phased his clothes back on. He phased next to Lei's palace. He found the Mongolian Shouten in the middle of the floor with three toddlers chucking stuffed animals at him. Haruya squealed as the wraith pretended to be felled. Hanaj knew that he should try and he sat down as he watched the antics.

 

“You could at least say hello Prince Hanaj.” Lei stated with an arrogant smirk.

 

“Look out Mongolian.” Hanaj said as Chiyo jumped into his lap.

 

“Oh Gods! Lovely girl you have made me a eunuch I think.” Lei said falling to his back in pain.

 

“Sowwy!” She cried.

 

Hanaj chuckled and Chiyo looked over at him. She jumped up and ran to Hanaj.

 

“Up pwease!” She said with wide blue eyes.

 

He picked her up and he stared at her plump little face and the image of him holding his own son hit him.

 

“I am going to be a father.” He said in awe.

 

“As am I. Imagine that. Except I will have a girl. How very odd I think.” Lei said standing.

 

“They are sweet. Hello Haruya.” Hanaj said.

 

He grinned up at the tall male and he toddled over. He begged to be picked up as well. Lei picked him up and Haruya began to play with his hair.

 

“The Arrancar has not been around.” The younger wraith stated.

 

“No they have been too busy picking off our kind. I need a place to live Lei. I need somewhere I can lay my head and we are going to have to deal with each other. It seems her twins are glued at the hip.” Hanaj said.

 

“Are you throwing yourself on my door and seriously asking for my help?” Lei asked smirking.

 

“Do not look so smug.” Hanaj growled.

 

“Oh please Prince Hanaj will you please grace my home with your illustrious and luscious self.” Lei said grinning.

 

“The children Lei. The children and shut up!” Hanaj snapped.

 

“Haruya there is cook with your food darling boy. Let Uncle Lei talk to Uncle Hanaj a moment.” He said kissing his head.

 

“Kay.” He mumbled as Lei sat him down and scampered off.

 

“I do not have to be your best friend ass. When can be somewhat cordial but I will have my life!” Hanaj snapped.

 

“Absolutely Hanaj. Do not mind if I look at you now and then. Asuna is so good at reminding me of what I am.” He laughed.

 

“You are a Steppe Wraith and your kind's way of duality is so freakish.” Hanaj snapped.

 

“Whatever. Enjoy my home. Enjoy.” Lei laughed merrily as he walked away.

 

Hanaj truly had no clue what his life was going to be like but he knew he would be annoyed as hell with his new housemate.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Grimmjow was morose and he was missing his lover terribly and he sure as hell missed his son. Ulquiorra too was more then morose. They sat at the long table with the other Espada and he drowned out Aizen. The Fourth Espada met his eyes and he knew that he wanted to talk after this damanable meeting. Aizen was droning on about the Shinigami in Hueco Mundo. Finally they were dismissed and Grimmjow stomped out. He met Ulquiorra some ways away and he stared at the green eyed fucker.

 

“She still missing?” He growled out.

 

“Hai.” He said staring over at him.

 

“Well whatd'ya wanna do?” Grimmjow demanded.

 

“Find her. I believe that a filthy Shouten has gotten to her.” He said with his hands still in his pockets.

 

“Your boyfriend okay with it?” He laughed.

 

“Rishou wants Iyo found. Iyo has my son.” Ulquiorra admitted.

 

“Yeah well a fucking wraith is watching mine.” The Sixth Espada snapped.

 

“Perhaps you need to show this Shouten that you are indeed stronger.” Ulquiorra suggested.

 

“Then ya need to find your girlfriend and fuck her silly.” He said smirking.

 

“Perhaps you should take your own advice.” Ulquiorra said drifting away.

 

Grimmjow began to laugh hard as he realized the pale faced stick wad had made a joke. He produced a garganta and he appeared in Tokyo. He saw on her on her bed and he noticed another being over her. He snarled and pulled the beast straight off of her. The other being was slammed against the wall and he noticed blood on her bed. The male looked up at him with green eyes and brown hair. Asuna moved weakly and stared at the two males.

 

“Aldwyn?” Asuna asked stunned.

 

“Hello love. How have you been?” He asked in a sneer.

 

“You know this blood sucker?” Grimmjow demanded.

 

“Were you feeding on me?” She asked shocked.

 

“Well darling you should look into the Panyu inu. Find out what they really are lover. Perfect queen you were.” He said standing.

 

“Why are you so damn angry?” She asked.

 

“Oh I do not know, your habit of popping in and popping out.” He growled.

 

“How are you feeding from me?” She asked in a weak voice.

 

“The uppyr the Panyu mated themselves to love, they were a big fat group of incubi. No females. Only males. The males are stronger there darling and let me tell me it explains a lot. You pop up and it threw their careful balance. You were right though and my family was no from Flintshire. We are Panyu. I am around and I am going to show you how much of a bitch you are.” He said in anger.

 

“Aldwyn I always told you the truth!” She yelled in English.

 

“And I never lied to you lover. I always told you how I felt. Listen bloke and listen well. She will rip your heart out and tell you to eat it.” He said glaring at Grimmjow.

 

“Well see here's the thing asshole. I tell her how I feel and she tells me all the time I'm the best and she loves me too. She had my boy as well. Now get the fuck out!” Grimmjow snarled.

 

“I know my own self now Lady Asuna. I know where the rest of our kind is. Sebastein cannot tell you shit about being a mixed succubus. Toodles love.” He said porting away.

 

Grimmjow looked really annoyed and he checked on her.

 

“He did to you what you do to others.” He growled.

 

“Hai and it is exhausting. Grimmjow I have missed you.” She said softly.

 

“Yeah me too bitch.” He said slipping out of his white silk.

 

He slipped into her bed and he was immediately kissing her. She was tired and he took complete charge. He moved slowly and she felt his powerful, sinuous muscles move beneath her hands. Asuna was making soft moans and he was hot and bothered. He kept it slow and she had a powerful end. She passed out in his arms and it felt so good to have her next to him. His hand ran through her hair and he looked up. He saw a male wraith with Haruya. He made a soft growl and he pulled a blanket around him. Haruya went wild in Lei's arms and he reached for his sire.

 

“Chichi! Chichi!” He rambled.

 

“How'd ya know?” He demanded.

 

“Mental tie she forced on me. He is a delight Arrancar. I find it odd that such a sweet boy could come from such a wild thing. Enjoy.” Lei said bowing.

 

“I don't like Shouten.” He growled.

 

“I don't like most hollows except as food.” He retorted.

 

“You've done okay with my boy.” He snapped.

 

“Yes well he is a delight as I have said.” Lei remarked.

 

Lei went to phase out and Grimmjow grabbed his arm. Lei got a really close look at the Espada and he marveled at her taste in males. This man was drop dead gorgeous and just plain yummy to stare at.

 

“You hurt or betray her and I'll fucking kill ya. I'll make your bones break and shove him back into the gas bag you call a body.” He growled very low.

 

“Very colorful. I see where Haruya gets his manners, his Mama.” Lei smirked.

 

“Asshole.” Grimmjow growled.

 

“Yes well she reminds me of that too. Really Arrancar why would I bother to watch her small children if I did not care?” He snapped.

 

“Cause she has your ass over a barrel?” He retorted.

 

“Really? That sounds fun really. That woman has managed to bring down the most powerful Shouten there is. He is in her bed and her life. He has a major thing for her and well I do too. I will not hurt her.” Lei stated.

 

“Good. Now get the fuck outta here. It's my time.” He growled.

 

“Absolutely.” Lei laughed.

 

Haruya was holding onto his sire and he felt overwhelmed.

 

“Hey Suna wake up.” He demanded.

 

“Huh? What? Baby boy!” She cried as Haruya crawled over to her.

 

“It ain't safe here right now. Take him to me in the past.” He demanded.

 

“What?” She asked shocked.

 

“Hai. Take him back for now. I'm thinking move him back and forth till it gets better. I don't want him harmed okay?” He growled.

 

“I know.” She said holding her sweet boy to her.

 

“Get going. I gotta go back and hunt more fucking shinigami. I swear your brat boy has gotten downright nasty.” He smiled.

 

“He and I are not together.” She said lifting her chin.

 

“Oh? Nice bitch. See ya. Give me a hug.” He said to Haruya.

 

Haruya crawled over to his father and held onto him tightly.

 

“Wub you.” He said softly.

 

Asuna covered her mouth and her eyes held such softness. Grimmjow kissed his head and he handed him back. Haruya whimpered then began screaming as he made a garganta appear. Asuna shushed him and she went about dressing. She ported to Juria and she found her Tengu laid out on a patio and she looked over.

 

“In the kitchen in the back. I keep a stockpile now.” She said grinning.

 

“A modernized Tengu. Who would have thought?” Asuna laughed.

 

Juria smiled and Asuna focused her mind and threw the crystal. She stepped into the past and Haruya buried his head.

 

“It is okay my little man. Should you like to see Chichi? He looks a little different though when he is here.” She smiled.

 

“Hai.” He mumbled.

 

She ported to the Southern Kingdom and she was in the small palace. She lifted her nose and she silently went to his rooms. She knocked on the shoji and he grumbled the whole time when he answered it. He slid open the door and there stood his mate and wife holding their son. His eyes were wide and Haruya looked at him and then his mother.

 

“Chichi?” He asked confused.

 

“Suna?” He asked dumbfounded.

 

“Hai. Haru…this is Haruya.” She said softly.

 

Said babe was tearing himself away from Asuna to get to the man in front of him. He did not understand why his hair looked different and there was no whole in his belly either but this was his chichi. Grimmjow took his son and held him tightly. He whispered thank you to her and she nodded. She followed him in and shut the door behind her. She wondered if Lei would know or understand in this era and she wondered how it was this Yhea was back. She sighed but she had Hanaj in her era and that was what mattered to her most.
