Unrequited

 

Yhea was miserable. He wanted to feast upon the uppyr ruler and he was stuck having to baby sit his people. He stood up and he saw Jhu.

 

“Make sure my father is not disturbed.” He commanded.

 

His uncle nodded and he figured the best to get to Eyal would be to fuck with his family. He smirked widely and he phased into Japan. He knew the woman was here and he would taunt her. He had desperately tried to see her soul but the little bitch had slammed up shields. He saw her in a lavish place and he was still getting used to the modern things. He could feel Shouten within her and he was quite entranced. She wore a dark steel night gown that fell to the floor. Her silver hair fell to the middle of her back and he watched her pull something out of metal box and she was eating.

 

“You know blood is so much better.” He said suddenly.

 

She looked over at Yhea and he was lounging on her couch as if he belonged there.

 

“Take your boots off of my couch. That cost me a small fortune.” She growled.

 

He began laughing hysterically and he lowered his feet to the floor.

 

“You are a vision. Where is my uncle?” He asked amused.

 

“I killed him.” She said glowering.

 

“And you carry his babe? I doubt that succubus. Uncle Hanaj is really beautiful is he not? Many Shouten females wanted him. He seemed so bored with them.” He said picking up a knick knack and looking at it.

 

“Leave Shouten.” She growled.

 

“Well see woman you carry Shouten now. You are mated to a Shouten and I am the crowned prince of the Kazak Shouten.” He said standing.

 

He moved to her and held her jaw tightly. He looked at her face and he saw magenta markings on her eyelids and soft magenta stripes on her cheeks. Her crescent moon adorned her forehead and he looked at her very closely.

 

“Well the Gods know you have a lovely face. Your silhouette suggests a lovely body as well.” He smirked.

 

She watched him and up close he was even more beautiful. She doubted there was such thing as an ugly Shouten and it was the same with the kumo, every kumo she knew was a being of beauty. Yhea heard her thoughts and smirked.

 

“Well thank you lady. You are the woman that my sweet Eyal loves so much.” He purred.

 

“He is not yours.” She growled.

 

“I remember seeing you before you came to Hanaj you know. I followed the two of you to Egypt so long ago. Your insults were colorful and your wit is quite charming. I did not give you much thought because I had eyes for your lovely man. Shall I tell you what he used to dream?” He asked smiling very seductively.

 

“Please enlighten me about my husband.” She said flippantly.

 

“Well he is quite the soul as you know. He used to dream of driving himself deeply between your thighs and making you cry out. He used to say your name in his sleep and his other woman; oh what was her name?” He said as if ignorant.

 

“Syna. Her name was Syna.” She growled.

 

“She hated you. Oh how she hated you and wanted you to suffer. She wanted to bash your head against a wall. Well he would dream of you and I would enter him when he dreamed of this lovely skin.” He smirked.

 

“You sick bastard!” She hissed.

 

“Really? Why do you shield your very inner soul lady? Why not let me see what you really are?” Yhea said suddenly gripping her chin too tightly.

 

She did not react and searing pain shot through her jaw. She was trying to use her yoki but he had clamped down on it with his very real will.

 

“Now now my dear. I am not even close to being done yet. How do you like my Uncle Hanaj? Quite the man and quite a lover. Shall I introduce you to his old lovers? Since you are so immersed in my family and now the Jings too. Very odd that Lei Jing likes a woman as much as he does. Strong little bastard for one so young but you killed his bitch older sister Bai.” He said then ran his tongue along her bruised jaw.

 

“Unhand me you unholy bastard!” She sneered.

 

“Not a nice thing to say. You know what would happen if I raped you? Uncle Hanaj and Lei Jing would feel it. They would feel it and be in agony.” He laughed.

 

“You harmed my son.” She said as her eyes began to bleed red.

 

“Oh he is a sweet soul but nothing like his father or you it seems. I need some fun.” He said as his eyes flashed.

 

“Do not touch me!” She screamed.

 

“You are tiresome.” He said forcing her to her knees.

 

“You will die again Shouten! Keep it up.” She said sneering.

 

“How about this little girl. How about I do not rip those little heathens from your womb and you in turn take what I have to give. I can you know. I can phase right into you and pluck them away as if they were but a flower.” He said cruelly.

 

She went feral and he suddenly ripped the gown from her. Yhea was in a mood and he shoved himself into her. She screamed and snarled in fury as he shoved himself brutally into her over and over. He knew his Uncle Hanaj felt it and he was exerting so much energy keeping the whole area under wraps. He tried in vain to rip open her mind and she was an ungodly powerful telepath. His claws went deep into her sides and he released the venomous shoki. She whined out in pain and he lifted his hand. She tried to fight him and he knew if she had been aware she could have fought him off. Surprise was always a grand thing. He got a nasty spray of her Dakkasou and he used his own claws and slashed across her face deeply. He finally released and he shoved himself into her as deeply as he could.

 

“Good to fuck a Shouten? You should not interfere little girl. You tell Uncle Hanaj that his number is up. You tell him I am not soft like my father is. I have no issue killing traitors. I have no issue killing you.” He said pulling out of her and he shoved her away.

 

She stared at him with utter hatred and she suddenly let loose a huge Supaida Nami. It threw him straight through her wall and into the other penthouse on the same floor. She heard screams and she was feral.

 

“Bastard! Bastard!” She snarled in a beastly tone.

 

She was not in control at all and she changed form right there. Yhea managed to stand and he stared at the canine she was.

 

“Well you are a strange blood drinker. Nice little trick there. You wanna go at it?” He said as his eyes bled white.

 

She lowered her head and she snarled. Mizuki, Karu, and Ayana stood there and Mizuki pulled her fang. Yhea looked around and he was surrounded by daemons all of uppyr descent. He rolled and phased out and Asuna was not changing form.

 

“Haha? Haha please change back.” Mizuki said sheathing her fang.

 

Asuna sat on her haunches and began howling. Karu called his sire and Naraku. Mizuki saw a Shouten appear and she appeared behind him with a blade to his throat.

 

“You must have a death wish.” She hissed.

 

“I am Hanaj. Please let me tend her, please!” He cried.

 

Mizuki lowered her weapon and Hanaj moved to her. He had a horrific look on his face and he was shaking. Asuna knew Lei was here as well but not revealing himself. She slowly changed form and she was angry.

 

“Asuna you are hurt. You will succumb soon.” He said softly.

 

“Do not touch me.” She said shaking.

 

Hanaj saw how absolutely brutal his own nephew had been and he was horrified. She was bleeding on her face and neck. He did not even think she knew all of her injuries. She walked away from him trembling and he tried to be close.

 

“I need…I need to go to Romania.” She said looking around wildly.

 

“Haha, I will take you.” Mizuki said as she glared at Hanaj.

 

The rest of her family actually ported with her and Hanaj was stunned. Lei appeared and he was shaking in unrequited rage. He felt such disgust and he looked at Hanaj.

 

“Tell me what to do and I will do it.” He said as his chest heaved.

 

“I have to go to her.” Hanaj said in a horrified tone.

 

“Yeah that is what we all think of your lovely fucked up family. The rest of the clans hate the tr'Awnhi name.” Lei growled.

 

Hanaj gulped and he was so incredibly angry and furious. He knew that was exactly what Yhea wanted.

Mizuki walked her mother through the town house in Budapest. She was still within her beast and she was growling. She was hurt badly and Rina ran down the stairs at feeling her older sister. The sight that greeted her made her blood run cold. Her father and three brothers were not far behind. Her father yelled as he ported behind her.

 

“Asuna? Good God Asuna.” He said softly.

 

“She is in her inu mind Papa Eyal.” Mizuki said softly.

 

“What Shouten did this?” He asked shaking in pure rage.

 

“I have not seen him before. He looked young; his hair was very black and he had black eyes.” She whispered.

 

“Yhea.” Asuna snarled out.

 

Eyal was barely containing his rage. He led her to his room and he laid her back.

 

“Asuna, I need to remove the poison okay? I promise darling it will not hurt.” He swore.

 

“He said you dreamed of me.” She whispered.

 

“Ignore that sick bastard.” Eyal said in quiet fury.

 

“He said he would enter you when you dreamed.” She said as tears leaked from her eyes.

 

“Beloved. I am so sorry.” He said clenching his teeth.

 

He lowered his head and sank his fangs into her. She sighed as pleasure coursed through her and Eyal pathed to Mizuki to please get Nobu. Rina and the twins were shaking as they saw their mother as such. Eyal drained as much as he could and he stood up. He walked to the other side of the room and he began to weep. Rina went to him and held him as he bitterly cried.

 

“He really hurt her. I saw it in her mind. God Rina.” He said trying to calm down.

 

Rina just hugged him and Mizuki showed with Nobu. Nobu had not seen her like this since Magatushi. He was sickened as he went about pulling her together. She was gone in the Shouten shoki and he made her comfortable. She was asleep and Eyal watched her carefully.

 

“I hear your thoughts Eyal. Push it down.” Nobu stated under his breath.

 

“She is the mother of my children the same as you! How can I not think it?” He barked.

 

Hanaj was going insane with all their prattle and he finally stepped in. Eyal snarled in such terrible rage that he pinned the other male to the wall. His claws had gone through his chest and his eyes were blood red.

 

“How dare you show your face here Shouten.” He said in a terrible voice.

 

“I want to help her! I need to help her.” Hanaj snapped.

 

“Why? Why did the perverted fuck do this? It is me that is his enemy and not her!” Eyal snapped.

 

“He is angry with her because of us both uppyr. I left my family. He knows I have betrayed them. She carries my son uppyr!” Hanaj cried.

 

Eyal let him down and Hanaj went to her sleeping form. He sank his own fangs in and instead of blood he withdrew Yhea's toxin. The younger wraith had flooded her with it and the slow acting freezing neuro toxin would have killed her eventually. He pulled back and his eyes were white. He was barely holding his humanoid form and he wanted to kill his nephew. Lei was near as well and he had actually begun to respect the Mongolian Shouten. Hanaj pulled her to him and phased out quickly. Lei appeared next to him as he looked down at her. The look he gave her stunned Hanaj to his very core.

 

“Guard her for now. I fight Yhea.” He said flatly.

 

“Do not be stupid and get yourself killed. I want my share of your Gods damn piece of crap nephew.” Lei hissed.

 

“I understand. I can face one of my own house. Yhea is not stronger then I.” Hanaj stated.

 

“But he is just as powerful.” Lei retorted.

 

“I know this Jing now shut up! Give her your blood.” He growled out.

 

Lei nodded and he watched Hanaj phase. He truly felt overwhelmed at the moment and he closed his eyes. He knew an alternate time line that he had done the very same thing to her. He lay next to her and he palmed her cheek. He wanted to snarl in rage as he had felt the violation too.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Eyal was insane at the moment and he had no way of finding the ether beings. He was shaking in helplessness and he ended up shattering a mirror. Rina, Asher, Jarek, and Judafre all watched him and they too felt helpless. He pointed at Nobu and his hand was shaking.

 

“That being, that Arrancar! He can get us to that foul place. Do you know how to reach him?” He asked.

 

“Not directly. I know of someone who can get in and find him.” He stated.

 

“Please Nobu. Please I have to do something.” He said in frustration.

 

“Hai. I will return shortly.” He said bowing.

 

Mizuki looked angry and she was angry enough to do something very bad indeed. Rina watched her and she could see her sister's wheel turning.

 

“What are you planning?” She demanded.

 

“Nothing. Please stay here.” Mizuki stated as she walked and ported.

 

She was in Karakura Town and she closed her eyes. She could get him here in two shakes of a lamb's tail. Mizuki knew that the Shinigami had been keeping him quite busy. She truly did not wait long and he stood across the street from her. He truly was a beautiful beast. She lifted her head and he casually approached her. She crossed her arms and black miasma swirled around her fingers. Aizen watched his sometimes lover and major obstacle very carefully.

 

“Hai?” He asked in his calming tone.

 

“You have been going after the Shouten as self preservation. I want you to go after them for real.” Mizuki said carefully.

 

“I have been otherwise engaged because of your dear husband and his ilk. I am sorry but I do not have the time.” He said smiling softly.

 

“I need this done! I need you to do something other then for yourself one time!” She growled.

 

“Oh Mizuki then what would be the point?” He asked almost amused.

 

“It would mean I would freely give of myself. I would submit to the great Aizen-sama.” She said in a cold whisper.

 

“Truly? What has happened that has changed your tune my dear?” He asked intrigued.

 

“My mother! Things have heated up and damn it all they make you look like a fucking saint!” She said wiping her eyes.

 

“Well she has kept her word to the letter and I know not the spirit of our arrangement. What would you do Mizuki?” He asked watching and almost amused.

 

She neared him and she pulled him down. She gave him a most incredible kiss right there and he groaned softly against her lips.

 

“Very nice.” He whispered.

 

“Take it?” She asked.

 

“Hai but I want your delicious self now.” He said in a soft tone.

 

“My mother needs me Sosuke. She was brutalized by a different Shouten.” She said heavily.

 

“She just makes all sorts of friends.” He said sarcastically.

 

“Shut up you bastard!” She hissed.

 

“When Mizuki? Tell me when?” He asked running a finger along her cheek.

 

“I will return here tomorrow night unless I am stopped by a battle. I expect you to send your Arrancar after the Shouten now!” She said in a soft tone.

 

“Including Tesla?” He asked amused.

 

She whipped her head around and she stared at Aizen with shock.

 

“Could not have the boy dead now could I? He serves his Espada so faithfully.” He smiled.

 

“You had better not harm him! He is innocent Sosuke!” She said a little afraid.

 

“Tesla will not be harmed. He has his uses and Nnoitra seems quite taken with him.” He said smiling.

 

Mizuki damn near hit him and he tipped her head back and kissed her with incredible passion. Her mind was mush and he began to massage her scalp. She pulled back and stared at him.

 

“I will wait for you my dear.” Sosuke stated then made a garganta appear.

 

She was left there staring dumbly and she realized that Tesla was indeed alive. She ported back to Romania and she was in her own mind. She hated the Shouten as much as her mother. She hated the Jing clan the worst but she was not dumb. She knew how they had messed with past events. She knew Lei Jing was now an ally. She closed her eyes and she focused on his face. She ported and she looked around in surprise. She was in Hueco Mundo but not like she had ever seen. Lei looked up in surprise and Mizuki moved to her mother's side.

 

“You two are high handed.” She growled.

 

“Your mother was hurt by another Shouten and by the Gods we will take care of it.” He said.

 

“You know we changed our past but the funny thing is that Renshou is still responsible for much. I hoped you know my mother killed him. She ripped his throat out!” She said in anger.

 

“Renshou and I were not exactly close. I am not your enemy Lady Mizuki and your mother carries my daughter who will be your sister, can you handle that?” He asked watching her.

 

“She will be my baby sister and I will adore her but I will tell you something right now, you betray this onna once and I will land on you with both feet. I do not have my yoki mastered as much as my mother but I am almost as strong. I have some nifty little abilities you would not even dream of. You think you Shouten are bad asses? You have not seen us yet!” She sneered.

 

“Then put that to good use and destroy the tr'Awnhi! If I had known your mother better then I would have not made her my enemy. I would have taken her to my bed immediately.” He said coolly.

 

“Pervert.” She snapped.

 

“One your mother likes, now get out”! He snapped.

 

“I am going no where. Papa Eyal is furious and going into a blood rage, remember those dumb ass?” Mizuki growled.

 

“Then do not piss me off.” He snapped.

 

Mizuki sat with her mother and she felt the little ones close. She stood and she checked on them. She went to the triplets and looked down at them fondly. She rubbed her full blooded sister's cheek and the pretty girl and nuzzled it.

 

“You are the daughter of the mighty Naraku little one. I will tell you a secret about our chichi, just bat your eyelashes at him. He is a sucker for a pretty face and a big hug.” She smirked.

 

Mizuki stared looked around and stared at the nursery that had been set up for the small pups. She had to admit that Lei seemed to be caring for them well. She noticed Haruya was not here and she looked back at Lei in the doorway.

 

“He is with his sire in his youkai form.” He informed her.

 

“My father adores that boy.” She said softly.

 

“Who does not adore that boy? He is like pure sugar. He is so sweet you cannot help but love him. I have met the Arrancar and he is not that nice.” Lei chuckled.

 

“Grimmjow is rough.” She admitted.

 

“Beautiful.” He smiled as he walked away.

 

She stayed with her mother and waited to hear from her other Shouten mate. She was in shock that her mother would do something like this but she should not be surprised. She was notorious for it herself.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tianlong was watching his beautiful Akemi and she was practicing her weapon. He decided to talk to Ryukotsusei. He could not live with himself if he was being dishonorable. He ported to the dragon lord who immediately stood up and went to his knee. Tian looked at his great grandson many times over and touched his head.

 

“I am here to speak my son. I need your forgiveness.” He said sitting.

 

“My lord?” Ryukotsusei asked surprised.

 

“Akemi is reborn Ryukotsusei. She was my mate from so long ago. Her name was Yingtai.” He explained.

 

“She told me.” He said softly.

 

“She did?” Tian asked shocked.

 

“Akemi is brutally honest my lord. I am humbled and honored that you help her. I love her with my soul and I know she loves me. When I was younger, I would not have allowed anyone to touch her but myself but things have changed. Our lives have changed. I am pragmatic now and I realize my fierce little onna is uppyr now. She is still changing. I know not what Lady Asuna did but she is loosing any bit of her ningen self.” He explained.

 

“She told you?” He asked dumbly.

 

“Hai. She said you felt incredible guilt and she had no wish to put you out. She said she knew and I quote, you damn dragons are all alike.” He said smirking.

 

“Your mate is amazing.” He said shocked.

 

“Who am I to impede? You are the lord of all dragons and you are my kami. If you dally then I am honored.” Ryukotsusei stated.

 

“You do not believe that one bit!” Tian said scowling.

 

“I believe that things have changed. I do believe what I say. Now my lord may I get you something to eat or drink perhaps?” He asked.

 

“Please wine. I have not had wine in a very long time.” He smiled.

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

Akemi continued practicing releasing her purity through her naginata and she was beating poor Ang Chi to a pulp. He whined when she burned him and he glared at her.

 

“Damn it onna! I swear you are trying to kill me!” He groused.

 

“No I am not. How would I love you if you were dead?” She asked smirking.

 

“Okay only maimed. Awe shit here comes Daichi. Ever since he became a vizard he kicks my backside half the time.” The Manchu lord hissed.

 

Akemi chuckled and Daichi bowed. He had a sly look in his golden amber eyes. He pulled his short katana and began to slash at Ang Chi in a friendly spar. Akemi knew Tian was here, she felt him but she had no wish to scare him off. She had been honest with Ryukotsusei who was unofficially her chief mate. The other two listened to him and what he had to say. They were a family, albeit a very weird family but it worked for them. She drifted a little into the forest to hunt and she listened to the heart beat of a wild deer. She heard a steady rhythm and she appeared deeper in the forest. She was forcefully grabbed and shoved down and she snarled. She waved her arm and something hit a tree. She looked up and saw a red haired being with deadly looking claws that looked like they were dipped in blood. He stared at her with red eyes and his clothing left very little to the imagination. She could see through the legs of his pants and arms and as he moved his groin was very visible.

 

“You are a dragoness.” He said in a deep voice.

 

“Wrong bastard!” She snarled.

 

“Drostan is taken with you. I would know why.” He said arrogantly.

 

“Who in the Kamis name are you?” She demanded.

 

“I am Aldric. I am a basilisk.” He said smoothly.

 

“What the hell?” She asked shocked.

 

“Ja. Hell is a good term.” He smirked.

 

“Why are you here?” She demanded.

 

“You are a distraction from the combined agenda of killing a certain black basilisk.” He said in a temper.

 

“Why would you kill someone who was your own species?” She demanded.

 

“Because Amedeo has power and I will take his power.” Aldric said bluntly.

 

“That kingdom is dead. There is no one left.” Akemi stated.

 

“You know not about anything frau. You think all basilisk, wyvern, and dragons are gone? No, we conquer and destroy those who are weak. Your dragons are weak.” He laughed.

 

He rushed her and he wrapped his deadly looking claws around her throat. She tried to scream and he made her look at him. She did not move fast enough and she was thrown without mercy against a tree. Aldric dusted himself off and stared down at the small woman. Drostan was a fool and too soft. He had destroyed Valentina but could not destroy this one. He looked up to see two reptile demons and they looked furious. One hand had white hair and the other long golden tresses. Aldric was looking at both with utter contempt. Tianlong was behind the red basilisk instantly. The golden dragon released a flare of intense fire and it caught the red basilisk in its heat. The beast screamed and he suddenly spit at Akemi. She screamed and Ryukotsusei released a raigekidan blast that hit the red basilisk in the chest. Charred flesh could be scented and Akemi was on the ground screaming in pain. Tianlong wrapped his hand around the basilisk throat and his skin began to burn. Aldric ported out and Akemi was on the ground suffering from the venom. Ryukotsusei kneeled by her and she began convulsing.

 

“Hell!” The current dragon lord said.

 

“Get the doctor.” Tian said firmly.

 

Ryukotsusei ported to Japan and found Shinobu quickly. He dragged the boy back and they had brought Akemi inside to be seen. Tian stood by his descendent and he was tense.

 

“My son. It seems my presence is needed here until these monsters are obliterated.” He said softly.

 

“Thank you my lord.” Ryukotsusei said bowing his head.

 

“Thank me when the wyvern and red basilisk beasts are no longer on our doorstep.” Tian said lifting his chin.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lei was incensed and so damn angry. He was contemplating his moves and he realized that perhaps he could infuse her blood much the same way that Hanaj had at one time. He stared at her and her daughter was still there staring at him as if he was still the devil. Lei made up his mind and he phased slowly to an in between that led to the time stream. He intended to make her immune in her past guise. He intended to do it early on as well. He stepped out and he looked around. He phased his clothes to match and he made sure to sense the clan. He would not create a paradox. The Jing Shouten were taught early on not to create a paradox that could not be fixed. He was in Manchuria and he knew she was here a lot with his nephew. He moved in his corporeal form and he phased to the summer palace. He was shocked to see her with the Manchu mutt who had broke his sister's heart and he realized that he was near her extreme youth. He watched in fascination as she made love to the green eyed mutt and she cried out. He scoffed and he realized he could do so much better. He waited till she was asleep and he appeared next to her. She was truly so young and it showed. She did not look old at all in the future but she was still in the last dregs of youth. He palmed her cheek and she suddenly woke up.

 

“Who are you?” She hissed softly.

 

“Please. I mean you no harm.” He said almost gently.

 

He touched her and phased them outside of palace grounds and she looked around shocked. His face was gentle and she circled him.

 

“What do you want?” Asuna demanded.

 

“I wish to help you. I wish to help so that you will not be vulnerable.” Lei stated.

 

She watched this being whatever he was and she was leery. It hit him and he knew Bai was alive. His face was full of emotion and he had never been able to come back to this era. Indecision flitted across his features and he suddenly pulled her into his arms and held her jaw as he searched her face with his black eyes.

 

“What is wrong with you?” She demanded.

 

“Asuna.” He whispered.

 

“How do you know me?” She hissed.

 

He slowly bent her head and he began to kiss her deeply. She groaned heavily as he expertly began to ravish a more naive version of the woman he was in love with. He phased her clothes away and one hand gently cupped her breast and tweaked her nipple. She was moaning into his mouth and he was suddenly hungry. He realized how close to pure she was and he was suddenly needy. He released her lips and he began to slowly touch and fondle her.

 

“Who are you?” She demanded.

 

“Lei Shi.” He said in her ear.

 

“Why are you doing this?” She whispered.

 

“I worship you woman. Gods you are so tight. You little minx you really were pure.” He said under his breath.

 

“Huh?” She asked confused.

 

Lei growled fiercely and he lowered her to the ground. He was going to make this so incredible that she thought it a dream. He phased his own clothes away and he was in awe of her beautiful body. Her hips were slightly more narrowed then when he knew her but still so utterly tempting. He went to licking and suckling her nipples and she squirmed under him as he was becoming more in a haze. She was gasping and moaning louder as he began to nip her skin and Asuna looked at the being taking her into bliss. He lifted his head and he hovered his lips over her breast again. He slipped his fangs into her globe around the areola. She cried out in a near scream as he fed. Lei was enraptured as he tasted her powerful but subdued power. He slid down her body and nipped her inner thighs.

 

“What was that?” She asked in a languid way.

 

“My way. You are so young.” He managed.

 

He slipped his tongue inside of her and she moaned out. As he continued to plunge his tongue into her his claw pierced her thigh. He was leaching his toxin so slowly that it would become apart of her. It was easier to do during an act of passion so it was barely felt. He nicked her clit with his fang and suckled her hard and he continued his covert act. She was gasping and begging at this point and he was so damn hard and wanting to be inside of his mate. He brought her several completions before he was done and he slowly slid up her body to meet her lips. She groaned loudly and he ripped his lips from her mouth as he pushed into her nearly pure body. He snarled as she was ungodly tight and he was astonished at how magnificent she felt. Lei was loosing his cohesion so fast it was astonishing. He growled and groaned as he made love to her. She was moaning too and meeting his hips as he took her slowly. He was trying to change form but she was hanging on too tightly. She was actually using her uppyr yoki without knowing.

 

“Woman please. Oh Gods please let me go. I want to be inside of you.” He cried.

 

“You are.” She said gasping.

 

“No within your body. Please let me go! Please Asuna let me go.” He begged of her.

 

“I cannot let go.” She whined.

 

A major and intense release took him and he cried out loudly. He shuddered under the powerful spasms of her tight channel and he fell against her. He went to kissing her and he could not stop. She was so far gone in her release and squirmed underneath him.

 

“Can I phase into you? Please!” He begged.

 

“Okay.” She said numbly.

 

She somehow let him go and he phased into her. She was rigid and she was moaning heavily as he took her from within. She was bowing and screaming as she experienced heaven. She fell unconscious as he slipped from her. He fell to his back beside her and he kissed her fingers. His mark was on her inner thigh but it could not be helped. He felt the green eyed dog growling and snarling in a distance and he phased out. Katashi came upon her and she had obviously been taken. She was groggy and he was incensed. Lei watched as she was taken from the area and he felt better that she added protection. Hanaj should be able to do the same to her as well in theory and she would be a deadly cocktail to any other Shouten. He went to leave and he felt Bai. He was stiff and he turned around. He saw his sister and she looked mad.

 

“Bai.” He breathed.

 

“Why are you here Lei? Who watches the clan?” She asked in her sing song voice.

 

“I was curious is all. I will return.” He said bowing.

 

She was in front of him instantly and she ran a finger along his cheek. She stared at her younger brother and kissed his cheek.

 

“You are a good boy Lei.” She said softly.

 

“Where is your son?” He asked.

 

“It does not matter where Ang Chi is!” She snapped.

 

“Sister bring him home please! I implore you.” He begged.

 

“You will not implore me to do anything Lei! I am still your ruler and you are my baby brother.” She hissed.

 

“Bai please. Please sister.” He begged.

 

“This is unseemly. I have a land to conquer and a lesson to teach.” She growled at him.

 

“Bai I miss you.” He said gritting his teeth.

 

“Sister things are bad with the tr'Awnhi!” He blurted out.

 

“What do you mean?” She demanded as she stared at him.

 

“Things have gone bad. Yhea is alive.” He stated crossing his arms.

 

“They do not need us do they?” She demanded.

 

“No, I have been not aiding them.” Lei replied.

 

“How is Yhea tr'Awnhi alive?” She asked curiously.

 

“I cannot say. I do not know. Please Bai please just come home.” He said grabbing her hand.

 

“What have you been fucking Lei?” She asked looking at his hands.

 

“Nothing! Bai damn you will you please listen to me?” He yelled.

 

“Go home Lei. I will return at some point.” She said smiling.

 

She phased out and he felt utter despair. His stomach clenched and he felt wretched. He phased back to the in between and he looked back. It finally hit him that Bai would never have returned no matter what and his sister had gone insane. Bitterness ripped in his gut and he went back to his palace in the modern era. She was awake and she stared at him. She watched his eyes and he felt no shame. He sat down by her and she looked up at him.

 

“What did you do?” She asked weakly.

 

“I infused your blood with my toxin. You are a poison to another Shouten besides Hanaj.” He explained.

 

“Lei, go back. Please you must go back.” She whispered closing her eyes.

 

“Why? I only did it to help you.” He said confused.

 

“You left me with something Lei. You have to go back.” She whispered hoarsely.

 

“Do not be cryptic damnit!” He snapped.

 

“He hurt me Lei. Kamis it hurts.” She said rolling her head to the side.

 

“I am so sorry. Hanaj is already fighting him. I am so sorry.” He stated laying his head close to hers.

 

“You left me then and I did not know. You have to go back. I was alone.” She said closing her eyes tightly.

 

He nodded and he barely touched her cheek with his lips. He stood up and Mizuki watched him. He was utterly confused and he phased to the in between. He made it back and slipped through to the other era. He normally had a good grasp with his telepathy but this was odd for him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He could sense her and he closed his eyes. She was in He Gang and the palace was darkened. Her eyes were red and she stared up at him. He knelt by her and she was whimpering.

 

“What is wrong?” He asked concerned.

 

“Do not know. I hurt. I hurt so bad.” She said growling.

 

“Asuna look at me.” He said calmly.

 

“What are you are?” She asked groaning loudly.

 

“I am a Shouten. Woman you are burning up!” He cried.

 

“Please help me! I fought that bitch Bai Jing but she killed my pup. Oh it hurts!” She screamed.

 

Lei was getting nervous and he helped her lay back. He began to feel along her and he was feeling a strange aura. His hands began to shake as he lifted her haori. She had a small belly but Shouten babes would feel slightly different. He was shaking terribly as he made her spread open her thighs.

 

“Asuna, I did not know. Gods I did not know. You must breathe deeply. Please breathe very deeply.” He commanded.

 

“What? Is it a pup?” She asked deliriously.

 

“Yes. Yes this is my babe my dear one. Shouten babes are different okay? You will birth it corporeal. They phase back and forth at times. You will feel movement and then none. Let me look.” He said shaking badly.

 

She was feeling shoki of the babe he was sure and he pulled her hakama down. He spread her open and he was hyper ventilating. She was close to birth and he was shocked. He moved up and he held hands.

 

“When the babe is coming, it will be corporeal okay? I am a trans dimensional being. Do you understand?” He asked in a scared tone.

 

“I do not understand. Why did you come to me that night?” She asked in confusion.

 

“I love you. I wanted to help you. I had to give my toxin to make you more protected. I meant no harm.” He said quietly.

 

“You touched me so softly. I know.” She said beginning to fall unconscious.

 

He freaked and he had no idea who to contact. He ported suddenly and he knew the spiders were in Korea and Sendai. He appeared in Seoul and he wildly looked around. He searched in his true form and he found Nobu. He thanked his deities and he appeared. Nobu jumped and he was shaking.

 

“Help me! Please. The woman I am mated to is having difficulty.” He said quickly.

 

“Take me.” Nobu said grabbing a bag.

 

Lei phased them to Asuna and she was passed out. Nobu went to her and he gave her something to swallow. She was awake soon enough and she stared out with dull eyes.

 

“What did you do to me?” She asked Lei.

 

“I am sorry.” He whispered.

 

“I am Nobu inu. You are birthing it seems. Do you feel the need to push?” He asked.

 

“No.” She said laying her head back.

 

“I am going to cut it out.” Nobu stated.

 

“I have never seen it with a Shouten.” Lei stated.

 

“It will kill her.” Nobu said as he began to put his instruments out.

 

Asuna watched and she realized that she had life within her. Bai Jing had not killed this one. She felt a blade draw across her belly and she groaned from the dull pain. Nobu was working fast and he pulled out a being he had no idea what it was but it was a small male. Lei made a wounded noise and the baby was not breathing. He fell forward and grabbed his son. He had her hair. He was shocked and his boy had her silver hair.

 

“Please breathe. Please my baby breathe!” He said frantically.

 

Asuna lifted her hand and tried to touch him. Lei was becoming emotional and he brought the lifeless babe to her. She held his small hand and she pushed through a huge amount of her yoki. His small limbs jerked and began to whine a little. Nobu was surprised and her hand fell away. Slowly the boy babe began to gather strength and began screaming.

 

“He seems better. What are you?” Nobu asked.

 

“I am a wraith.” He said shaking.

 

He looked down at his son and he felt tears fall down his face. This whole thing seemed unreal and impossible. He stared down at the beautiful little boy and he openly wept. He held him close and Asuna watched him as he held the infant.

 

“Where do you know me?” She managed to ask.

 

“From an era further away.” He said wiping his black eyes.

 

“Promise me something?” She asked.

 

“Yes.” Lei said hoarsely.

 

“Take him away. I am at war and I escaped my mate who is over zealous. He will not accept him.” She said looking at her first born.

 

“I will take him where he will be safe and he will know you.” He promised.

 

“Okay. Kumo can you make this seem a dream?” She asked Nobu.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“Go.” She told Lei.

 

He nodded and he looked down at her.

 

“I will never betray you. I swear it.” He murmured.

 

“I do not understand but I get the feeling that we were enemies at one time.” Asuna said sleepily.

 

“I am Jing Lei Shi.” He admitted.

 

She could barely move her head and she stared at him.

 

“Bai is my sister.” He said kneeling.

 

“Then why come to me? What are you and what is she?” She demanded.

 

“She is not right and I am not your enemy. Get her to take in your blood.” He said softly.

 

He was telling her how to kill his own flesh and blood but he could not loose her. He could not loose the mother of his son. He bowed and he looked back.

 

“Why help me?” She demanded.

 

“Because you stole something from me.” He said softly.

 

“And what did I steal?” She mumbled from a drugged state.

 

“My heart and my soul.” He whispered.

 

Asuna watched him slowly fade and she was bleary eyed. She could not make heads or tails of what just happened but this man had told her he loved her. She promptly passed out and everything went black.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lei came back to his palace and he had to stop and weep several times. He moved slowly and he made it to her side. She slept heavily and Mizuki looked up and her eyes widened in shock.

 

“Please let me speak with her alone.” Lei asked softly.

 

Mizuki nodded and she stood up and left. Lei gently roused Asuna and her eyes opened. She looked at him and then at the babe she could barely remember. She managed to sit up and she stared at him.

 

“Name him Lei. I will nurse him.” She said weakly.

 

“I have a wet nurse.” He said softly.

 

“I barely remember. Why did you do this?” She asked.

 

“I want you to be poison to the other Shouten.” He said flatly.

 

She held out her arms and she saw his face. She whined and held him close to her. Lei was affected as she weakly opened her shirt. He tried to protest but she closed her eyes as the babe automatically latched on. She made a low growling sound and he sat down by her.

 

“I remember loosing my pup and I thought I dreamed this.” She said hoarsely.

 

“Shen.” He stated softly and in a shaky voice.

 

She nodded and she physically felt horrid. She knew she looked a fright and Yhea had been brutal. She looked over at Lei and he was staring hard at his babe.

 

“He has not opened his eyes.” He murmured.

 

“He will.” She stated.

 

“You were pregnant with him the same time that Bai, I mean you were…” He said stumbling over his words.

 

“You came to me within weeks of my mating Katashi. Hai I was pregnant with his twin.” She said as two tears slipped down her cheeks.

 

“Oh Gods! My sister almost killed my son?” He asked horrified.

 

“Apparently she did not. We are in Hueco Mundo?” She asked.

 

“The in between.” Lei said softly.

 

“Lei look.” Asuna said in a whisper.

 

Shen's small eyes opened and they were grey. He was shocked and looked at him.

 

“Bai's eyes were a dark grey.” He informed her.

 

“Shouten keep their babes in the in between do they not?” She asked in heavy voice.

 

“Yes.” He said emotionally.

 

Shen had quit nursing and he was looking straight up. Lei look over him and he noticed such subtle things that were Shouten and corporeal. The most striking feature was the crescent moon on his forehead. He took him from Asuna and held him. He looked at her and he could not stop his feelings that were crashing into him.

 

“We tried to get in. We did not leave you to suffer.” He said frowning.

 

“I know Lei. I know he was keeping me in and you all out. I felt it.” She stated looking away.

 

He could say nothing and he felt her horror at herself and Yhea. She lay back down and rolled to her side.

 

“Please do not pull away.” He begged.

 

“I cannot. We inadvertently made a love child. I have realized your sister must have sensed something.” She said wiping tears from her eyes.

 

“Please do not regret him.” Lei said in a desperate tone.

 

“I do not regret him. I mourned him.” She said crying hard.

 

“Mourned him?” He asked stunned.

 

“I thought him stolen. I thought you had stolen him from me for her.” She said wiping her eyes more.

 

“I betrayed her for you.” He said in a wounded tone.

 

“You saw Bai in the past?” She asked.

 

“Yes I saw her. I loved her and I realized I loved you more.” Lei stated baring his soul.

 

She reached out and he brought their son to her. He lay down to face her and she kissed Shen's head.

 

“I did not mean to get you with child. I swear I went to only strengthen you.” He said.

 

“I did not let you phase out.” She murmured sleepily.

 

“No.” He agreed.

 

“You felt too good.” She smiled a little.

 

“Oh I see. You know it is supposed to be beautiful the way we are. It is supposed to be about joy and pleasure, not pain.” He said closing his eyes.

 

“I know how it is with you and Hanaj. I also know you hated me so much in the past.” She murmured.

 

“I know. I wish I had never hated you.” He said touching their infant.

 

She closed her eyes and tears slipped out.

 

“Will you still care for my pups?” She asked.

 

“Of course. I will protect them with my life.” He murmured.

 

She nodded and she fell asleep. Lei felt Hanaj enter later and he was torn up. He saw her and Lei. His mouth dropped and he saw a Shouten infant. He neared them and Lei looked up.

 

“What did you do?” He asked stunned.

 

“Long story. Did you beat him?” Lei demanded.

 

“No. He cowered away. He is hurt badly though.” Hanaj said as he ran a finger along the babe's cheek.

 

“Did she?” He asked shocked.

 

“No not yet but I went back. I infused her with my toxin the way you had. In theory you should be able to do so as well.” Lei stated softly.

 

“Actually that is a brilliant idea Jing. Yhea suffered badly. I made him suffer tremendous pain.” Hanaj said cruelly.

 

“So in infusing her with your toxin you got her pregnant?” Hanaj asked.

 

“It was not my intention! She would not let me go damnit. Even then she was powerful but she did not control it like she does now. I tried to disengage.” Lei said defensively.

 

“Well he looks more like her thankfully. Your sorry ass is too pretty.” The Shouten prince snorted.

 

“I hope your son looks like a dandy tr'Awnhi. I hope he is soft and pretty.” Lei retorted.

 

Hanaj laid on her other side and drifted. He was hurting but Yhea was hurting worse, he believed the technical term was testicular torsion. Hanaj fell asleep and dreamed of tearing up Yhea to death.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yhea was hurting. He was in such severe pain that he wished for death. His uncle had been quite put out but he had been quite happy. He was furious that his pretty uncle should be drawn into such depravity but he managed to stay in his spirit form. He intended to taunt the Tepest house cruelly and he was in Romania. He saw Eyal and his gut twisted again. He remembered the first time he showed himself to the lovely man. He had been feeding from him for months and he could not resist the look that he had when he had climaxed. Yhea was angry and he neared the uppyr ruler. He suddenly grabbed his throat and pulled him backwards. He phased in and held on tightly.

 

“How many times did I make you scream?” He hissed in his ear.

 

“You hurt her! If it is me that you want revenge on then take it out on me!” He snarled.

 

“You love her. You always loved her. Never could you possibly see anyone else.” Yhea said in anger.

 

“You? How could I have felt for you?” Eyal snarled.

 

“We shall see. I will prey upon her again and again Eyal. I will make her so torn open and blood will drip from every orifice.” The wraith prince said cruelly.

 

“You hurt an innocent! She has done nothing to you!” he yelled.

 

Yhea was brutal and he reached into his expensive black trousers. Eyal snarled and tried in vain to throw him off. He had hoped to lure the wraith here but Yhea was smart. The Shouten was stroking him hard and he was revolted. He saw him shift his appearance and he gasped.

 

“Is this the face you wish to see?” Yhea asked in Akana's voice.

 

“Stop it!” Eyal roared.

 

“See your body likes this. You were in love with that Egyptian slut and she left you. She left you for a supposed after life with that Egyptian mutt. Damn you come!” He hissed.

 

“I love her still!” Eyal said trying to stop his body.

 

“Yes you do.” Yhea said and forced his head back in a brutal kiss.

 

The Shouten was rewarded with a massive release and he bit his tongue harshly. Eyal snarled in anger. Yhea shoved him down and he stared down at him with Akana's silvery eyes.

 

“Shall I mount you? Would you like that?” he said in a seductive tone.

 

“Get away from me you freak!” Eyal snarled.

 

Yhea was suddenly in horrendous pain as Jarek had his hand straight through the wraith's middle. His father had barely covered his shame and Yhea stared back at Jarek. He phased out and son looked at father.

 

“Go to her children. I care not who. Naraku's children are powerful as hell.” Eyal said getting up.

 

“Da. Father can I help?” Jarek asked.

 

“No! Leave me be Jarek. Please just leave me be.” He said getting up.

 

Eyal was humiliated as Yhea was the strongest Shouten he had ever faced and he had all sorts of power but none against the wraith. He hated the bastard and to see a likeness of his precious Akana. His eyes shut and he was miserable. He was in a tailspin and he had thought this nightmare over. He managed to stand and he proceeded to vomit at the bastard touching him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was awake and she had drifted from the palace. Hanaj was torn up but he was healing. Lei was sleeping heavily after a long night with their son. She was in shock but she closed her eyes and remembered how he had been with her that night. Asuna was not prepared for anything at all and when she saw Yhea in the distance she was growling.

 

“You will not have him!” Yhea snarled.

 

“I do not have him per say. I have his love.” She growled.

 

Yhea was on her suddenly and he phased within her. She was unprepared and she felt him deep within her mind. Whatever shields were attempted to be put in place; she failed. Yhea was gasping and he was in wonder. What he was awash in was only a small bit of what Eyal was. He released her and he was panting away from her.

 

“No wonder he cannot give you up.” He breathed hard.

 

“Raping me once was not enough?” She snarled.

 

“I can take you and make you enjoy it woman. I can make you scream and flood yourself.” He said in a heated tone.

 

She was snarling and growling as he pried her thighs apart. He was overwhelmed in the beauty he had beheld and he attempted to bite into her neck. He tasted foul and putrid blood. He spit it out and he snarled.

 

“So my uncle and Jing made you a vat of poison to other Shouten? No matter.” He said in a soft tone.

 

He used his shoki differently this time and she was gripped in spasms of pleasure. Yhea was a mess but he was going to shatter her and destroy Eyal. He settled himself between her thighs and he lazily licked and nipped her clit. She was in pain and pleasure as the bastard took his enjoyment. He lifted his head and watched her.

 

“I want Eyal to see this. I want you to open to him or I will hurt your babies.” He threatened.

 

She whimpered and she opened her mind to Eyal. He was surprised and he felt what was happening. Yhea made her whimper more and he was suddenly inside of her. His eyes rolled back and she was prepared. He moved hard and fast as her body was overloaded. Eyal tried to get to her and he could not. Rage spilled through him and he was losing his mind. Through sheer force of will and a reversal of what she normally did; Eyal channeled her and he was suddenly there. He ripped Yhea from her and began slashing him with his claws and objects began to hurl themselves at him. Eyal lifted him up with his will and he was fixing to rip Yhea apart. Asuna was weak unbelievably as he was consumed with such wrath. Yhea phased out just as Eyal was fixing to rip him apart with will alone. He fell to her side and he pulled her up to him. He was shaking and tears fell down his face. He held her tightly and self hatred consumed him. Lei and Hanaj appeared and Eyal stared at them.

 

“You had better help me figure out how to stop him or I will kill you both.” Eyal snarled.

 

“Do not threaten uppyr as we will work together. Yhea is deranged.” Hanaj said shaking in anger.

 

“Do something! He will destroy her!” Eyal said beginning to weep.

 

Eyal picked her up and he ported to Romania. Both Shouten stared at the other and Lei spoke first.

 

“How did he get into the in between?” He asked surprised.

 

“No idea.” Hanaj murmured.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ulquiorra had heard the news and he was bothered heavily by it. He went back to Los Noches and he walked up to Grimmjow and barely moved his head. It was strange but they worked together whenever it involved family.

 

“Lady Asuna has been raped by a Shouten. It was apparently brutal.” The Fourth said nary of an emotion displayed.

 

“What the fuck?” He asked shocked.

 

“Hai. I think it prudent you send your Fraccion to keep an eye upon her. Perhaps Granz?” The pale one said.

 

“Yeah. I hate the fucking bastard! He's done nothing but have us fight pansy ass shinigami and a Shouten here and there.” Grimmjow growled low.

 

Ulquiorra nodded and he was in turmoil deep within. Things with his kumo family had returned to normal and he was enamored as much as ever with Rishou and Erena. He was aching intensely for Iyo but could not find her anywhere. He feared she may have fell and taken in by a hollow. The thought that a lesser being had killed her made his skin crawl. He walked on and Grimmjow took off to find Yylfordt. The blonde Arrancar was busy flirting with Halibel's Fraccion, Sun Sun. Grimmjow growled and he left his pleasing endeavor.

 

“Go to the other plane and keep an eye on my woman. Report any movement of the fucking Shouten. Watch her and if need be protect her till I can get my ass there.” He commanded.

 

“Hai my king.” Yylfordt said bowing low.

 

He produced a garganta and he was curious to go into the real world. Grimmjow had said she was in a place called Romania. He went to where he could watch and he waited. He was bored out of his mind and he was remembering a particularly nice romp with Sun Sun. He watched and he waited and waited. He yawned heavily and looked around. He felt a strong aura almost like spiritual pressure. He saw a female with black hair and a scarf on her head. She stared up at him with zircon colored eyes. Her eyes alone made him speechless. She stared at him as if he was crazy.

 

“Why are you here?” She demanded.

 

“I was ordered to watch over this area by my Espada.” He said crossing his arms.

 

“You are not welcome here Arrancar.” She said watching him.

 

“Yo brother I am following orders okay?” He snapped.

 

She pulled out a thin and nasty looking blade. He was surprised but she was being cautious.

 

“Who are you Arrancar? I do not think I have seen you.” She growled.

 

“My Espada Grimmjow demanded I watch and help protect his onna.” He said exasperated.

 

“Okay. Stay out of the way. I am Lady Emi.” She said bowing.

 

“I am Yylfordt Granz.” He replied.

 

She nodded and she watched the pretty blonde Arrancar go back to his watching. Emi sighed and all manner of things were hitting the fan.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wen woke up and she felt sharp pains in her lower abdomen. She groaned and Gabrielus was probably with the boys as she had come to call them. She sat up slowly and she saw the cream colored sheets had a small pool of blood. She cried out and she managed to stand. She was shaking as she made it to the door. She opened her bedroom door and she held her stomach. Things between her reptile mate and her had started to go better since their reckoning. She was gasping and she watched in horror as blood began to run down her legs. She cried out and panic began to set in. She was gasping and she made it to the phone. She dialed her mate and she was beginning to cry as the pain became unreal.

 

“Gabrielus? Please! Bleeding! Help me.” She said crying.

 

Gabrielus was in the apartment immediately and she was shaking badly. The blood horrified him but he knelt by her.

 

“Wen? Femmina I am here.” He said as he picked her up.

 

“Gods!” She screamed as searing pain shot through her.

 

“I am taking you now si?” He said more calm then he felt.

 

He shifted to Yamasaki General and he laid her on a gurney. He yelled out for a doctor and Shinobu ran over.

 

“Wen? Oh Kamis.” He said as he assessed her belly.

 

He put his ear to her belly and she was screaming in pain. Gabrielus looked horrified and he watched as his mate was wheeled down the hall. Wen screamed again and her mate was stricken still. Shinobu was horrified himself but he looked at his slightly older sister and he blanched. The babe was tearing her apart and he had to do a section now. He yelled for a crash cart and Nanami ran to him. He picked up a scalpel and Nanami poured widow venom down her throat. Wen was in agony as her brother cut into her lower abdomen. Gabrielus went to his knees and he pressed his forehead to the ground. His face was frozen in fear and he begged the Gods to deliver his mate and babe. He was getting hysterical as well and Shinobu had never worked so fast in his life. Nanami was pulling open her abdomen as well and her brother reached in and pulled out a very blue babe.

 

“I need a warmer here stat!” He yelled.

 

“Wen? Sweetie breath for me okay? We are going to give you oxygen now.” Nanami said gently.

 

“My baby? What?” She said terrified.

 

Shinobu laid the blue female on the warmer and he was scared. A pediatrician came up and she began to assess the blue babe and she immediately went about intubating her. Gabrielus stood up and his face was red from tears. Wen was beginning to breathe too hard and Nanami looked at Shinobu.

 

“Get the OR ready now!” He yelled.

 

Nanami managed to pull out the twin and Gabrielus about fainted. This one was smaller and it was a boy. He too was blue and they put him on a warmer. Shinobu covered her abdomen and he was certain that they were going to have to take her ruined womb. Her babes had ripped her open and she was bleeding to death. Nanami stayed behind and she watched as the doors closed.

 

“What happened? What happened?” Gabrielus repeated.

 

“She is bleeding out. Your girl twin weighs above ten pounds and the boy weighs about eight or nine okay? We are going to save her but your babes need you now.” Nanami told her brother in law gently.

 

He let himself be led to the warmers and his girl had silver hair. Her eyes were still closed but she had stripes that were so subtle but they were scaled. He was in awe and her brother too had silver hair. He had stripes of scales too. Gabrielus leaned his head down and began to sob. He believed that he had killed Josephina and now his beautiful Wen.

 

“Gabrielus look. Look.” Nanami said.

 

He looked up and his daughter had opened her eyes briefly. Light green eyes that mirrored his own stared back. His son too opened his eyes and they were golden brown.

 

“They are going to be okay. They are full term. They look good at the moment. Come on.” She said guiding him.

 

 

“What of Wen?” He asked choking.

 

“I do not know yet. She was bad off but Shinobu is a genius on the hybrid youkai okay?” She stated.

 

Gabrielus nodded and he followed his children to the nursery.

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

Shinobu tried in vain but he could not stop the bleeding. He had to perform a hysterectomy to save her life. Wen was asleep and he wheeled her out. Gabrielus stood up and he saw her asleep.

 

“I am sorry. I could not save her uterus. I had to take it to save her life. Her uterine walls were thin from the twins. Your babes are awake and alert. They have been weaned off the oxygen and are breathing on their own. Your girl weighs ten pounds and eleven ounces and your son weighs eight pounds and twelve ounces.” Shinobu said in a defeated tone.

 

“You saved them. Thank you so much. Si thank you!” Gabrielus said kissing each of his cheeks.

 

“I did not save Wen's womb. I am sorry. I tried.” Shinobu stated hanging his head a little.

 

“No. She is most important no? She gave me a son and a daughter! What man could ask for more?” Gabrielus asked emotionally.

 

“Wen wanted a lot of cubs. She wanted a big family. I am sorry I failed her.” Shinobu stated as he left the area.

 

He was glad he had saved his sister's life but the price had been high. He was in a mood and intended to get very drunk. He and the lynx were seeing each other regularly and she had acclimated to Japan quite well. He ported to Hibari's lounge and he was surprised to see his sister and her mate, Ryunosuke.

 

“Wen had her cubs. I could not save her uterus though.” He said sitting at the bar.

 

“I am thinking you wish to be drunk?” She asked.

 

“Hai. I failed her Bari.” Shinobu said in despair.

 

“No you did not! How can you say that?” She asked.

 

“Because I am the son of the great Nobu. Doctor extraordinaire and I could not help my big sister!” He growled.

 

Ryunosuke came closer and it was obvious that Shinobu was devastated. His face was downcast and he was drinking steadily. He was downing expensive sake and asked for it to keep coming. Shinobu was sloppy drunk and he stood up. He moved slowly towards his home. He looked up to see an onna of immense beauty. Her face was beautiful and his mouth was agape.

 

“Do you need help sir?” She asked.

 

“No but thank you.” He said staring at her amber eyes.

 

Shinobu was face to face with an inu bitch that made his heart hammer so hard he wondered if it needed to be monitored. She smiled at him softly as her golden hair blew in the wind.

 

“I was looking for some people. Maybe you can help me instead.” She smiled softly.

 

“Hai sure.” Shinobu said blushing.

 

“I am Imari. I believe my brother's siblings are around here somewhere.” She said hopeful.

 

“I am Shinobu. You are talking about my older brother Nobuyuki.” He said surprised.

 

“Hai. I am his long lost sister it seems. We share the same mother but different sires.” She said in a gentle tone.

 

“Welcome! How come we have not met you?” Shinobu asked stunned.

 

“Isamu and I were a huge secret it seems. My father one's indiscretion was with Nobuyuki's mother. We were raised by Haha.” She shrugged.

 

“You are Lady Akemi's sister?” He asked surprised.

 

“Hai. You must be Yamasaki Shinobu.” Imari said bowing.

 

“Hai. You are beautiful!” He said stupidly.

 

“Thank you! May I escort you home? It seems you are swaying on your feet.” She said taking his arm.

 

“Please. I had a bad day.” He said sighing.

 

“Why is that?” She asked genuinely interested.

 

“One of my sisters gave birth but it was bad. She had twins but they were huge! She ended up tearing her uterine wall. I had to take her womb. These were her first born.” He said bitterly.

 

“You saved your sister though?” Imari inquired.

 

“I did. I feel terrible. This is our apartment building where we house the many members of the family. Would you like to come up and I can call my older brother?” Shinobu asked.

 

“I would not be imposing?” She asked.

 

“No.” He smiled.

 

She followed him to his apartment and he fell on the couch. Imari watched him and he was despondent. She sat by him and he looked over at her.

 

“Kamis you are so gorgeous. I am sorry that I am a sod at the moment.” He said sighing deeply and closed his eyes.

 

He knew he was terribly drunk and he needed to hydrate himself before he woke up with a tremendous hangover. He stood up and he went to his fridge. He opened it and he poured himself a cocktail that was full of electrolytes and vitamins to replenish his stupidity. Imari watched him and he could not get over how utterly beautiful she was. She blinked her eyes at him and she stood up. She neared him and she actually guided him to his bed. He blinked his kumo eyes.

 

“You did what you could. I am sorry you feel so badly about it. I am sure she will be grateful.” She murmured softly.

 

“I am not as good as Nanami or my father. Nanami could have done it. Hell so could have my chichi.” He said in a guilty tone.

 

“I know a man who used to think he was not good enough and it turns out he was more then good enough.” She said running a hand gently through his black hair.

 

“Great Uncle Inuyasha? Yeah he is a great man. I barely know him sad to say. I should have been able to help Wen.” He stated in sorrow.

 

Imari was affected heavily and she pressed her lips to his. Shinobu was shocked but he kissed her back. It hit him how drunk he truly was and he pulled back. He laid back and stared at his ceiling.

 

“I am an idiot Imari. Forgive me.” He said closing his eyes.

 

“I kissed you Shinobu. Scoot over.” She said lightly.

 

“Why?” He asked softly.

 

“Because I am inu and I prefer to sleep in groups. Now scoot over and we will commune together okay?” She smiled.

 

Shinobu was numb and did as she asked. She was soft next to him and he ended up falling into an alcoholic coma. He slept until morning and the sun was bright as hell. He covered his eyes and he felt sloppy. He slipped from the bed and went to the shower. He turned it on and he groaned when the spray hit him. The heat helped his throbbing head and he was stunned when he felt slender fingers begin to massage his temples.

 

“This should help.” She said gently.

 

“Onna! I am so sorry. I am normally more responsible. Did we?” He asked sheepishly.

 

“No you were a gentleman. I asked to sleep next to you and I kissed you. So do not fret.” She said beginning to wash him.

 

Shinobu was a little stunned by her actions. She did nothing licentious and she washed his shoulder length black hair. He felt much better and he wondered about her, Not much was spoken about Nobuyuki's mother and his golden haired brother did not mention her at all. He knew very little but he knew her death had been tragic. Imari washed every last bit of skin and he was suddenly very aroused and very embarrassed. She smiled at him with her amber eyes and she gently washed his arousal. He shut his eyes and he bit back a groan.

 

“Sorry. I am a little mischievous. Haha swears I am just like Chichi.” She smiled.

 

“No it is okay.” He said gasping.

 

“Silly kumo. Just enjoy it.” She said softly.

 

“Oh Kamis.” He said having to lean against the shower wall.

 

She continued to stroke him and more firmly and he groaned loudly as he climaxed harshly. His breath left him for a second and he finally regained himself.

 

“Your headache should be gone.” She said kissing his cheek.

 

“You did that to get rid of my headache?” He asked surprised.

 

“Hai. Plus you have a really sweet back side. I will let you dress and maybe we can call my brother.” She said smiled.

 

She slipped away and he was speechless. His headache was indeed gone and he was still very much aroused. He hated his kumo libido at times. He rivaled any inu in sheer randiness any day. He sighed more and he slipped on a robe. He walked out into his living room and she had made coffee. He looked up and praised the Kamis and he entered his kitchen. She proceeded to make him some eggs and bacon and he was further astonished.

 

“Haha is quite domestic. Anyway Akemi never learned how to cook. Isamu knows! It is hilarious. Is your father a good man?” She asked.

 

“He is. He has had some tragedies as far as I know. We do not talk about it because he gets haunted. I know his first mate died in child birth and his second one he divorced.” He stated.

 

“That would be Lady Juuna and my birth mother.” She said gently.

 

“I think the story went that my chichi was working all the time and he felt she needed more. It ended up being a mistake but he was too late. That is all I know.” Shinobu shrugged.

 

“She killed herself.” Imari said looking at him.

 

“I had no idea. I do not think we were told on purpose. Nobuyuki has fond memories of her but honestly he always called my Haha his.” He replied.

 

“She is amazing that cousin of mine.” She smiled.

 

“Hai that being said, we are cousins.” He said a little red.

 

“Second cousins and in some places that does not matter but if that bothers you then I shall refrain.” She bowed.

 

Shinobu watched and she ate her own cooking with ease. He ate and he had to admit he felt much better. His heart felt heavy and he needed to get to the hospital. He was not used to failing and he dressed quickly and found his older brother's number for Imari and he proceeded to port to the hospital.

She hated feeling weak and she hated being vulnerable. She pulled herself up and Eyal was asleep beside her. Asuna felt like hell and he shot up immediately. He cut his wrist and she began to take in his blood. She had never seen him quite like this and Yhea was a bastard of supreme proportions. In her mind, the son made the father look like a saint. She felt better and she stood up shakily.

 

“Your blood tastes a little different.” Eyal said under his breath.

 

“Lei and Hanaj laced it with their toxin. It is a way of making it to where another Shouten cannot feed from me.” She murmured.

 

“He hurt you because of me. ME!” Eyal raged.

 

“Eyal he would find a way of hurting those around us regardless. Forget this and let us figure a way of defeating him.” She said with fake bravado.

 

“You are hurting terribly. You are angry and I could not protect you. None of us could! Asuna, I am so sorry. Forgive me. Please forgive me.” He said bowing his head and weeping.

 

She knew he was feeling as helpless as when she committed suicide as Akana. She knelt near him and she lifted his face.

 

“This is nothing. This physical pain is nothing and I will be fine. I will be stronger and I need to seek out those in Soul Society who have answers to my existence. I am tired of only being able to tap my abilities now and then. I need mastery and I shall leave to seek it.” She said softly.

 

“I love you.” He said meeting her eyes.

 

“I love you too Eyal. I loved you when I was Akana and I love as Asuna. Forgive yourself and move on. We shall defeat him together this time.” Asuna stated holding his face.

 

“You carry Shouten babes.” He stated.

 

“Hai I do. I am safer within Soul Society anyway at the moment. I will see you often.” She stated kissing his lips softly.

 

He nodded and she ported to Lei's palace. She spent time with her pups and she marveled at the tiny one she had given birth to so long ago. He was awake and he was staring at the side of his crib. Hanaj seemed taken with him as well and Lei was hovering.

 

“You need to calm yourself nut job.” Hanaj growled.

 

“Oh you say that when your son is here.” Lei snapped.

 

“Find one of your boyfriends and relieve some tension.” The Shouten prince snorted.

 

Lei rolled his eyes and he watched Asuna run her fingers along his cheek.

 

“I am going into Soul Society. I want answers and I will have them.” She said to them both.

 

“We cannot go to Soul Society!” Lei snapped.

 

“I am sorry.” She sighed.

 

“What happens when you need us?” Hanaj demanded.

 

“I will be surrounded by Shinigami. I will be okay.” She stated softly.

 

“Okay.” Hanaj stated tightly.

 

She kissed their hands and she ported away. Lei felt her suffering and he knew Hanaj did as well. He was sad that she needed to be away but it gave them time to try and figure a way to stop Yhea.
