Fighting Till the Finish

 

The brat was back and he really hated the brat. His face and his eyes; those damn eyes. The arrogance and the conceit of the brat to show up in his homeland and act like he was better, it made him want to vomit cerro all over the brat. He was cracking his knuckles and he saw Yylfordt.

 

“What'dya doing here?” He barked.

 

“Your onna is in danger I think.” His Fraccion stated.

 

“Damn it all! I don't have time for this shit!” He roared.

 

“You asked to inform you my king.” Yylfordt shrugged.

 

“Yeah I know. Fuck! Hell, I gotta go.” Grimmjow snarled in frustration.

 

He vowed to himself to kick Kurosaki's ass as soon as possible. The bastard had told him in their last little skirmish that he was going to die and he was going to make him suffer. He had been an ass back and commented that Ichigo could not keep an onna happy; that had gone over like ten tons of bricks. Grimmjow was nursing a black eye but the look on the brat's face, it had been worth it.

 

He ended up making a garganta and walking through to the other world. He had an aching in his gut and he missed his son but he refused to have him near some really bad shit. He was hovering in the air and he was perusing the skyline. He had been having more and more memories and they ate at him till he ended up puking. He had truly begun to remember his life as Jagaharu and it made him crazy. She had been so busy trying to exact revenge on the Shouten and he understood. He understood he couldn't control her or he would loose everything. He had also come to like Naraku. He loved to piss the hanyou off and fight him. The man had come to like to fight him too and he frankly found his manners too pansy ass. He liked to rough him up and make him curse. Hai he liked the hanyou a lot. He also missed his son like the Kamis damn sunshine at times. He bit back a sigh and ideas of taking his onna and making her open and vulnerable. He loved how she gave up control to him. She almost always became a wanton little bitch and she needed dominance. Asuna needed to be shown who the man was and he had to break her over and over. He loved her so fucking much that the idea of not being with her at times made him puke too. Grimmjow was a possessive bastard but he was smart as well. He looked around and only saw ningen running around.

 

“Damn mortals.” He muttered.

 

He made a move to look for the fucking shinigami and he knew perverse pleasure that she had dumped the brat, not that he had known it. He looked like a doe eyed little dog and he loved to make him suffer. He truly had no clue why he hated the kid so damn much but he did. Kurosaki was in his ningen form and he smirked widely. Hai this was good, this was real good.

 

“Hey Kurosaki!” He yelled.

 

Ichigo looked up and he growled low in his throat. Grimmjow hovered in the air and the arrogant bastard had taunted him mercilessly. Ichigo was not stupid and he knew what was going on. He knew Asuna had abandoned their relationship. He had known but he didn't accept it, not when they still shared a son. He was of age now by ningen law and it was not like he was mortal anymore anyway. Misaki's death had wounded him in much the same way as his own mother's had. He was by no means done with the inu princess and he sure as fuck was going to interfere come sooner rather then later. She had been so immersed in youkai bull shit that she needed a breather. He was bringing his mate back to their home and Grimmshit was fixing to get his ass beat.

 

“Oi! What the fuck you want asshole?” Ichigo asked glowering.

 

“You looked all soft like the girl you are. Thought you needed some reminding that you supposedly have a dick.” Grimmjow stated smirking.

 

“Hilarious Grimmshit! How long did it take for ya to come up with that bullshit? Bravo idiot.” The orange haired shinigami sneered.

 

Grimmjow lost his head and he came at him with a fist. Ichigo used his badge and he was in his shinigami form instantly. He caught the fist and he threw Grimmjow back. Kicks and punches flew. They could use their blades but what was the point when blood could run between your fingers and flesh could be pounded? Grimmjow let loose a flurry of kicks that connected with Ichigo's back and kidneys. The substitute shinigami coughed up blood and whirled around and connected with Grimmjow's jaw.

 

“You know Grimmshit, you get uglier every time I see ya.” Ichigo laughed.

 

“Yeah well brat there ain't no help for your skinny, scrawny ass!” Grimmjow retorted.

 

“You know she and I were happy till you showed up asshole. You showed up and you acted like you had a right to fucking touch her.” He snarled.

 

“You don't know shit! She mated me back when I was a youkai shit head! Asuna mated me hundreds of years ago!” The former neko prince snarled in return.

 

Ichigo reared back and punched Grimmjow straight in his Arrancar mask. The thing shattered and blood poured down his face. He looked surprised at the move and Ichigo turned and left. He was sick to his stomach and he was going to find her today.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He was in Tokyo and he was dressed to the hilt. He had a black suit and tie on and he knocked on her door. She opened the door and Ichigo stood there. Her mouth opened a little and she looked at him surprised.

 

“Hey I thought old friends could have a meal and we could talk about our son.” He said bowing.

 

“Kurosaki?” She asked stunned.

 

“Yeah. If you have time, I made reservations at Akimoto. Me and some of the class mates go there after exams.” He explained.

 

“Hai I have time. You look well.” She observed.

 

“Yeah so do you. How's the thing going with the Shouten? Do ya need some muscle?” He asked.

 

“I am fine at the moment. Did you retrieve Orihime for good?” She asked.

 

“Hai. She is shook up though. I am sure Aizen'll make another play for her but hey.” He shrugged.

 

“I am sure he will. Are the Shouten keeping him busy in Hueco Mundo?” She asked going into her room.

 

“Yeah. There's like a ton of fights between them. I have to keep my cool or else I end up killing any wraith I can find.” He said softly.

 

She was stiff and she nodded. She closed her eyes for a moment and she went to her closet and covered her mouth. She held in her sobs and Ichigo could hear her muffled cries. It hurt so bad he knew. He went by her grave everyday. He cried at her marker and he could not get over it. He had never known that loosing a child was worse then loosing a parent. Ichigo slowly walked into her room and he pulled her into his arms.

 

“I miss her too. I miss coming home from class and her jumping up and down crying for me. She used to tell me that she was going to be like her Haha. She was going to be a princess. I told her she already was.” Ichigo murmured.

 

He watched her face crumple and she began sobbing anew. He just held her and he felt with her. He missed their baby girl. He missed her sweet face and he missed having this onna in his life. He could just not make it work with Rukia no matter how hard he tried. They stood there for awhile and she finally straightened.

 

“Let us go eat.” Asuna murmured.

 

“Yeah.” He said kissing her forehead.

 

Asuna slipped on a wrap around her tunic top and she nodded to him. She put on a salve to make her markings disappear and they got a taxi to the restaurant. Her mind was heavy as Lei was still in a death sleep several weeks later. She kept him in the Kyoto palace under heavy guard and Hanaj watched him at all times. She had run into a dead end looking for clues into Shan Lao and this was good to have an evening of mindlessness. Ichigo kept up a flowing conversation and he was drinking wine freely with his expensive sushi and sea urchin. She smiled at him now and then and nodded when she needed. She could not believe but he seemed older. They finished their meal and she could see he was slightly inebriated. Asuna sighed and she ported them from an alley next to the restaurant. Ichigo was playing it cool and he went to her couch and he slipped off his shoes.

 

“I'm sure your okay with me crashing on your coach right? Hinata is with Old Man Yama at the moment.” He slurred a little.

 

“Hai that is no problem.” Asuna nodded.

 

She went to her bathroom and slipped out of her clothes and Ichigo caught a glimpse of her belly. Memories ripped through him and he looked away. He stood up and he went to the rest room and she turned to stare at him.

 

“You're having another?” He said softly.

 

“Hai.” She whispered.

 

Ichigo neared her and softly palmed her swelling belly. Her breath caught and she wore only a bra and panties.

 

“You know we fought like neko and well inu but you were so utterly gorgeous when you had Misaki in your belly.” He stated hoarsely.

 

“Ichigo let us not torture ourselves okay?” She said looking up at him.

 

“I'm not Sensei. I can still think you're beautiful right?” He asked wryly.

 

“Hai I suppose that is okay.” She smiled.

 

He hated it and he hated this game he was playing. He tipped her head back suddenly and he stared at her golden brown eyes. Ichigo brought his shaking lips to hers and kissed her passionately. She stiffened but it lasted but a moment. He was not okay and he was not happy. He had been miserable since his life fell apart and he could not stop himself at all. He picked her up and he brought her to the bed. His movements were slow but fevered as he stripped her bra and panties from her. Asuna was in a sort of haze and his lips were on hers and then down her neck.

 

“Ichigo.” She said mournfully.

 

“Suna, tell me hai.” He whispered hoarse.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

He angled her hip and he pushed in slowly. He released such a mournful moan that her eyes flew open. She laid caution aside and she met his lips and his hips as they moved so excruciatingly slow. Sighs and moans passed their lips as they gave into their old passions. He never hurried and he never lost focus as he brought about huge and soul shattering ends. He ended up holding her all night and he relished the feel of her against him. She slept heavily and he slipped from her bed. He wrote her a quick note and explained he had class. He left to attend his classes and patrol in Karakura Town. It was a start and he would bide his time. He would act as though it was just a stolen moment; a moment to remember and to comfort. Hai he would bide his time.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He was itching to kill something. He was itching to hit the shinigami fucker and he settled on a Shouten. He ended up pulling its spine straight out of it body and blood spewed everywhere. He was sitting in the shadow of a crystalline tree and he saw Granz in the background. Both brothers were dandy ass bastards but Yylfordt had much more aggression. Grimmjow could stomach aggression.

 

“I'm sick of fucking wasting time here.” He growled.

 

“Hai.” The blonde stated beside him.

 

He sighed and he stood up. He felt like wandering and he felt like finding his esposa. He made a garganta appear in Tokyo and he stood over the huge buildings. He closed his eyes and he felt her. He used his sonido and appeared on her balcony. She felt him as well and opened the French doors.

 

“Hey.” He grunted as he stepped down.

 

“Grimmjow.” Asuna said softly.

 

They stared at the other and they said nothing. She reached up and ran her thumb over his eye and his face contorted at the gentle touch. She was the only one he allowed himself to be soft around. He felt her lips brush the cheek below his black eye and he shut his blue orbs as she just caressed him.

 

“You have been fighting much.” She commented.

 

“Yeah. I've been ripping some spines straight out of the Shouten bastards.” He muttered.

 

She pulled him slowly backwards and he followed. She ran her hands over his torso and led him to the bathroom. He looked at her oddly and she stripped him slowly. He eyed her as she slipped from her robe. She turned on the hot water and she pulled him in. His eyes widened and it felt so damn good.

 

“Shit this is good! Why haven't we done this before?” He asked.

 

“Did not occur to me.” She smiled.

 

She slowly washed him from his blue hair to his toes. She stared at him and said very little as he too took the cloth and spread the soap across her skin. Their bodies were slick with suds and hot water and their breathing was heavy.

 

“I miss my boy.” He stated.

 

“I know. I do too.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“I remember.” He said slowly lifting her arms above her head.

 

“Your life?” She asked surprised.

 

“Hai. You and I loved and love each other.” He smirked.

 

“Hai.” Asuna nodded.

 

“I remember you having her, Kumiko.” He whispered in her ear.

 

She had faint memories as well but nothing concrete. They ended up pressed together and he was breathing heavily in her ear. Her eyes were shut tightly as their bodies barely moved but all kinds of unimaginable pleasure and love happened between them. They finally ended up on the bed and Grimmjow moved his hips slowly. She was hoarse as she became brought to her end. She felt so damn good and he was incredibly virile. They stayed in her bed for awhile and he played with her hair and she watched him as he ran a hand along his body.

 

“I cannot get over how gorgeous you are.” She smiled at him.

 

His eyes were heavy and he grinned. He liked it when she was like this and they watched the other. Asuna lifted her head and she narrowed her eyes.

 

“Katsu.” She mumbled.

 

“Who?” Grimmjow asked annoyed.

 

“One of my sons.” She said getting dressed.

 

She went to her door and opened it. There stood her beautiful full kumo son. His hazel eyes smiled warmly and she pulled him into a hug. She was grinning and she looked him over.

 

“Where have you been?” She asked brushing his hair out of his eyes.

 

“Haha stop it!” He said embarrassed.

 

“No, I will not. So handsome.” She said smirking.

 

“Mother!” He said blushing.

 

She grinned and she had always babied him. He sighed and he sat on her couch. He knew there were many secrets surrounding him and it irked him that they thought he could not handle the truth. Her eyes stayed steady but she heard his mind.

 

“What do you want to know Katsu that you do not already know?” She asked sitting.

 

“Haha you always explained that I was different simply because I looked more like father but that is not true! I am kumo. I am not just kumo dominant like Ayana or Iyo had been. I am full kumo.” He said perplexed.

 

“I was a kumo before. Why do you bring this up?” She demanded.

 

“Because I am not stupid! Haha please. Did you adopt me?” He asked.

 

“What have you been doing?” She demanded.

 

“I just feel different.” He said standing.

 

Her jaw was set and she could not answer him. She refused to acknowledge what Teiran had done. He seemed angry and sad.

 

“I did not adopt you. You are mine.” She said stubbornly.

 

“Haha! I know you faced foreign kumo at one time. I know all this and you think I do not know?” He asked softly.

 

“You were never hers! She conned your sire into rutting and she had Ayana, Nori, Ken'ichi, Hana, and Kazuo murdered. You were mine! Your Chichi is my mate and therefore his children belong to me!” She growled.

 

“Haha but what happened?” He asked perplexed.

 

“Teiran Huber was a Prussian kumo. Their kind is female dominated. She stole your sire and Naraku. She intended me dead along with your siblings. She may have carried you but you are mine. I nursed you. I stayed up with you when you had colic. I was there when you took your first steps and said your first words. You have never not been mine and never forget that you are MY son.” Asuna snarled.

 

He was taken by her vehemence and he realized that his birth mother must have been killed by her. He stared at the only onna he had ever known as mother and he was shocked.

 

“Your conception was not your fault and you had no control over anything. I damn near killed Ishin for thinking he would take you from me. You are my son Katsu.” She hissed.

 

“Did you kill her?” He asked softly.

 

“No, I did not have to. You were huge like Ayana. She died in childbirth. I did not kill that whore.” She growled looking back.

 

Katsu was numb and he knew deep down he had come from a sordid past. His father loved him but always unknowingly treated the others better. Ayana and Iyo had been his princesses and Jouichi and Osami had been his pride. Karu had been almost an adult when he was born and his mother had treated him like very well. It was almost as if he was a doll. She was suddenly furious and he realized he had not shielded.

 

“I am sorry.” He said looking down.

 

“Ishin did not love you less. He truly felt such guilt and that is what you felt. Your father tried more because you did feel different. You have never not been loved.” Asuna stated as he met her eyes.

 

“Why not tell me the truth sooner Haha? Why lie to me all these years?” He asked gently.

 

“Because the second I knew of you; I loved you. I love you so much son! You are Ishin's blood and that is all that mattered to me.” She said palming his cheek.

 

“I am so sorry.” He said looking ashamed.

 

“I love you Katsu.” She said hugging him tightly.

 

He hugged her tightly and he bowed as he left her penthouse. She sighed as memories hit her and she went to check on Grimmjow. He was up and dressed as he was slipping Pantera into his obi.

 

“Gotta go kill some shinigami. Bye bitch.” He smirked.

 

“So eloquent my darling. See you soon.” She said softly.

 

He lifted her chin and kissed her softly. She smiled a little and he went to the window. He grinned back at her and he was gone. She always hated how bad she felt when he left and she held in her sighs.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was standing over him and he looked peaceful. He was waking up very slowly and her heart was pounding. Lei had been asleep for two months. Things had been too calm from the wraiths but Hanaj had said it was probably because they were regrouping and planning something big. She took his hand and she pressed it to her belly.

 

“You need to wake up Lei.” She whispered.

 

He was in a fog and he heard her voice. Lei moved his head a little and he heard her whimper. He felt warm hands on his face and he looked at her.

 

“I am alive.” He muttered.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“You pulled me into a death sleep.” He said hoarsely.

 

“Hai.” She said touching his face more.

 

Asuna cut her wrist and pressed it to his lips. He grunted in severe hunger and he hungrily took her offering. She closed her eyes as he took in his sustenance.

 

“Lei, I was so scared. I was afraid.” She said as he pulled back.

 

“I am okay.” He stated staring at her.

 

She again whined and she leaned forward. He felt tears fall on his cheeks and she kissed him wildly. She settled on the bed next to him and he faced her.

 

“Are you alright? You have not faced any enemies?” He asked softly.

 

“No, they are quiet at the moment. Lei feel them.” She said guiding his hand to her belly.

 

His eyes widened and he weakly looked at her. She watched raptly as a myriad of emotions went across his face. She threaded her fingers into his hair and smiled.

 

“They are moving.” He stated.

 

“Hai. I have not asked how long a Shouten gestation is.” She laughed softly.

 

“Normal time. It is between eight and nine months along.” He stated in raspy tone.

 

“Well then I am two thirds done. We have kept you here through magics but I imagine you need much more sustenance.” Asuna stated kissing his palms.

 

“Yes, I will return. Where are we?” He croaked.

 

“We are in the Western Palace in Kyoto.” She said gently.

 

“Amazing. I will be back in a few hours. Is Shen near?” He asked.

 

“He is sleeping.” She nodded.

 

He phased out and proceeded to gorge himself on hollows. He was anxious to see his son and he phased back to Asuna. She took his hand and pulled him along to the nursery. His infant son was sucking on his thumb as he slept and Lei touched his silver hair.

 

“You saved me.” He said in a whisper.

 

She said nothing and he stayed with his baby just watching him and she was overwhelmed. He finally stood up and moved near her. He pulled her to him and their eyes were locked.

 

“Swear to me that you are okay.” He said whispering against her cheek.

 

“Hai.” She said relishing the feel of his breath on her skin.

 

Her lip trembled and they just barely touched. She knew how physically weak he was and she was worried about him. His lips grazed her skin barely and they both breathed hard.

 

“You need to work your corporeal form. You probably feel weak and your legs ready to buckle.” She said moaning softly was their lips grazed the other's cheek.

 

She was touching him and feeling him just breathe. Lei was unused to the tenderness and devotion that he was feeling from her. Her hands ended up holding his face between her hands and she kissed him lightly. His eyes filled with love and need as he just felt. Her face clouded with such incredible emotion and he was still in shock at what had happened between them. His hands with running through her silver hair and his lips continued to graze her soft skin. She looked to see the wet nurse and she ported Lei and herself to his southern Mongolian palace. He was behind her and she leaned her head and their lips met. He was breathing deep and he could smell her soft, feminine scent. She undid her simple dress and he slipped his black silk ku down and pulled his pein-fu off. Her belly was rounded full and he truly found the idea of her with his child within her maddening. They sank to theirs knees and he spread her thighs wide. Her backside rested on his thighs and he drove himself into her as his hand cupped a breast and he moved his hips. She was left breathless and mindless as he made love to her. She actually reached back and held onto his backside and he groaned as she gripped him in her passion.

 

“I was scared.” She whimpered.

 

“You saved me.” He said whispering softly.

 

“Hai.” She said as her head fell forward.

 

His mind was wrapped up and he felt a powerful pull on him and she was doing it again. His face contorted and she was purposely making his prostate throb with her telekinesis. Tremors shot through his body and he was going to loose it too quickly. She was moaning non stop and Lei was moving her hard.

 

“Let up. Asuna, it feels too good. Please let up.” He begged.

 

“No.” She moaned out.

 

He was gasping and she screamed out. Lei gripped her tightly and his body seized in a powerful orgasm. His brain could not function and it was numbed as he experienced unimaginable pleasure. He could only imagine what Hanaj was feeling and the binding was intense on them both. There had been times he had to find a private moment and let himself feel whatever it was they were doing and he would end up climaxing.

 

“I am so relieved.” She whispered.

 

“Well I felt the dagger enter my heart. You were quick.” He said kissing the back of her neck.

 

He just continued to press his lush lips against the back of her neck and they gave up trying to fight the need to feel the other. Hanaj had to appear and he was insatiable too.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lei was asleep and Hanaj was passed out too. The three of them were becoming intense and it was really nice. She ported to Juria who handed her a couple of crystals and she kissed her Tengu's cheek. She was going back to get Haruya because Grimmjow was sulking badly. She was moving along and she whipped her head around. She felt an aura she had not felt in a long time and bitterness ripped through her. She stalked to a nearby shrine and her hand shook. She surged her yoki and she saw a bald houshi fall to his knees prostate and he stepped out. He looked surprised and Asuna was very, very angry.

 

“Well well well.” She said watching him.

 

“Hello himegimi.” He stated with a bow.

 

“Hello yourself houshi. I had not thought you on the islands.” She growled.

 

“You know I move around.” He stated softly.

 

His eyes were still so hauntingly beautiful and she turned on her heel. She raged about him still and she could not understand. She felt his hand on her arm and she turned and slapped him. He looked at her carefully and she realized that they had not had their row. He was surprised and confused.

 

“Unhand me houshi.” She growled.

 

“I do not see you for nearly two centuries and you get angry at me? You are the one that abandoned me Asuna.” He said in a harsh whisper.

 

“You have not lived your nasty and cruel words yet Hakushin. Let me go.” She snapped.

 

“What do you mean? Have you been messing with history again? Who have you attempted to control now?” He asked testily.

 

“Oh dear houshi, you can be charming. Why not try?” She sneered.

 

“What have I supposedly done?” Hakushin demanded.

 

“It does not matter.” She sighed.

 

“The last time I saw you; you were at Mount Hakurei-zan and we had been together. That is the last and only time I have seen you himegimi.” He stated.

 

She stiffened and she sighed. Asuna nodded and she leaned forward and kissed his cheek.

 

“I hope you have a good life Hakushin. I am sorry if you feel that I was high handed. I truly believed I was doing the right thing. Forgive me please.” Asuna said under her breath.

 

Whatever he was fixing to say, he stopped short and she ported away. She was in the South and her hand shook. She turned and Yhea was grinning at her.

 

“Did it not seem too quiet?” He said making a funny face.

 

“You demented bastard.” She growled.

 

“Here we go with more unoriginal insults.” He laughed with mirth.

 

Yhea had her in his arms and he felt the babes move within her. His eyes widened and he stared at her. He truly seemed in awe and he reached up and held her jaw.

 

“Gods if you are not the most beautiful pregnant woman I have seen. I bet Lei and Hanaj cannot keep their hands off of you. Wraiths are overly family oriented. Funny thing about us you know. We are so damn clannish. Sort of like those humans in Scotland.” He stated running his hand over her belly.

 

“Get your filthy hands off of me!” She growled.

 

“You are truly tiresome.” He stated then he threaded his fingers through her hair.

 

Yhea pulled her lips to his and she grunted in surprise. His lips teased hers and she groaned as he massaged her scalp whilst kissing her. He deepened the caress and he was so attracted to her that it was driving him insane. He was beginning to think Hanaj was expendable but this woman was not. She jerked backwards from him and he watched her.

 

“Why are you here Yhea?” She hissed.

 

“Honestly I wanted to pin you down and taste you as you had a major orgasm.” He said smirking.

 

“Well with you that would be an impossibility.” She snapped.

 

“Now that was a good insult! You are questioning my skills again. No good though lover girl. I have had my share of men and women and I know damn well that I please.” He grinned.

 

She slapped him harshly and he phased his hands just under her silk haori and lightly pinched her nipples. She gasped but hissed in anger.

 

“Will you please have an open mind? Truly you are a bore when you act all superior.” Yhea growled.

 

“You raped me!” Asuna yelled.

 

“No, I did not rape you. Rape is far worse then what I did. I fucked you a little too hard. You like us Shouten even though you hate us too.” He said whirling her around and pulling open her haori.

 

“I will find a way of stopping you and making you suffer every which way!” She growled.

 

“A little secret about me lover, Eyal did a very good job of making me suffer. His narrow mindedness was such a blow to my little ego. Yes, I have a major ego and yes I like what I like. You have seen his inner being and what a beautiful thing it is but it pales next to yours does it not? Wraiths are really simple, we are ether daemons and when we encounter beauty we like to copulate like any species.” He laughed in her ear.

 

He moved around and he lowered his head to her breast and wrapped his tongue and lips around one pale pink tit. She pushed back a groan and he suppressed a vicious groan. He was in heaven as this woman was too hot in his opinion. She also tasted like a damn dream. He phased out with her to a distant palace and he touched her clothes. They phased away and she was so damn angry but he ended up carefully tying her to his bed. She snarled at him and he was captivated at her. He slipped a finger inside of her and she was gripped in overwhelming sensations.

 

“Oh Kamis what are you doing to me?” She gasped and withered on his bed.

 

“I told you. I am going to wait and taste as you release.” He grinned.

 

She was building up fast and it was like but much more powerful then funnel venom. Her face contorted as she began to shake as her body succumbed quickly. Yhea lowered his mouth to her core and she passed out. He enjoyed the taste of her as she released powerful pheromones in her blood. He was on a high as he drank from her center and he fell beside her. He untied her and watched her as she slowly came to. He had a slap happy grin on his face and she hated herself.

 

“Gods you are divine. You taste so damn good.” He stated softly.

 

“Leave me alone. Why can you not just leave me alone?” She snarled.

 

“Because I see the future and it is in your belly. I could make you have those babes now you know.” He smirked.

 

He rolled her to her side and she tried to crawl away from him. He very slowly pushed into her and her eyes squeezed shut. He cut his wrist with his claws and pressed it to her lips as he moved in an unhurried fashion. He was making her instincts rear and she screamed against his forearm. Whatever he was doing; he was causing her to orgasm yet again. Yhea had to concentrate heavily to avoid coming too soon. He was going to make her crave him like air before long and he was snarling softly.

 

“You are wasted on those others. They cannot handle your true nature. You are evolving into a different being woman and it is so incredible. You truly are becoming a wraith being.” He whispered heavily in her ear.

 

“Let me go!” She snarled in a passionate tone.

 

“Then make me come.” He snarled back.

 

She refused to participate and he was dominating her. She could not hold out and she sank her fangs into his wrist. His eyes rolled back and he did release in her. He shuddered and he was glad he was in the in between or he would have lost his form. She was shaking too and he pulled back. His eyes were closed as he assimilated what his body had done. Her stomach began to tighten and she groaned as she knew she was beginning labor. She cried out suddenly and Yhea sat up.

 

“Tell me what is happening.” He demanded.

 

“Kamis!” She screamed.

 

“We triggered labor. I see. Well this is fortunate then. You are a little on the early side but you will be okay. I shall see to it.” He stated as he stood and he clothes slowly phased in around him.

 

He phased out and she assumed it was to find a healer. She had a crystal and she saw her clothes on the floor. She fell to the floor and she moved as fast as she could. She focused though the pains and she ported out. She smashed the crystal and she fell through. She happened to be wherever it was that he had phased her and she crawled forward. She screamed again and she realized that she must need to turn a twin. She felt her belly and she could not do it. She was shaking badly and she ported to Yamasaki General. She screamed yet again and she heard footfall. Hands lifted her to standing and a pool of amniotic fluid was on the floor.

 

“Asuna. Dearest it is Nobu. You will be okay.” He said as he lifted her to a gurney.

 

“I think a twin needs to be turned.” She whimpered.

 

“Hai.” He said feeling her belly.

 

He began pushing hard and tears fell from her eyes. She was in delirious pain and Nobu looked at her.

 

“Asuna what is that smell?” He asked softly.

 

“Yhea. He found me in the past. Nobu, it hurts. It really hurts.” She cried out.

 

“I know. You need to be cleaned okay? Let us get the babe turned and then we can do what we need.” He said softly.

 

She nodded and she screamed a blood curdling scream as he moved the babe. She saw nurses and other doctors watching the whole thing and she whimpered as he suddenly wheeled her along. He brought her to a private room and helped her stand. He turned on a shower and he stripped to just his pants. He held her up as she tried to sink to the floor. He cleaned the smell of the damn Shouten off of her. Her mind was screaming and Lei had been sleeping but he was awake. Hanaj appeared first and Nobu was growling.

 

“Please do not spider! Asuna?” Hanaj asked as he neared the bed.

 

“Yhea! He took me. Hanaj hurts too much.” She said slamming her head back into the pillow.

 

“Lei!” Hanaj called out.

 

Lei appeared and Nobu snarled in hatred. He glared at the spider and Asuna was cringing as the pains were hard. She barely remembered Shen's birth and it had been hard. She looked over at Nobu and took his hands.

 

“Please just take them through my stomach. Please Nobu.” She begged in pain.

 

“Asuna, I would rather not unless it is necessary. I can give you something for pain.” He said softly as he brushed her hair off of her forehead.

 

“Please!” She growled out.

 

He called on Shinobu and his son brought a vial and they injected her IV with some widow venom and Demerol. Lei was saying nothing and Shouten women just were not in this much pain. Hanaj phased out and Lei followed. They both were pacing and they looked at each other.

 

“She is early.” Hanaj said worried.

 

“Not terribly Prince Hanaj. Yhea took her?” Lei asked in a frigid tone.

 

“Yes. The spider looks homicidal.” The Shouten prince commented.

 

“Yes well he is a brilliant doctor but a moron of epic proportions. I want to bring my healer to her to assist.” He said lifting his chin.

 

Hanaj nodded and Lei went in search Sung Jao Li; he was a famed Shouten doctor in Mongolia and Lei trusted him completely. He found the man that was around the same age as Lei himself. He looked up at the leader of the Jing Clan and nodded.

 

“My mate is having my daughter but she is having difficulty.” Lei explained.

 

“Yes my lord.” Jao said bowing.

 

He followed his ruler and he was surprised to find himself in the corporeal world. He looked around all the modern trappings and he was extremely interested. He saw a beautiful mixed female daemon and she was having a rough time of her labor. He neared her and felt her forehead and hands.

 

“My lord she needs to be in the in between. The pains she is feeling is the little ones trying to corporealize.” Jao explained.

 

Nobu's jaw dropped and it just had not occurred to him that baby Shouten could phase in and out like their adult counter parts could.

 

“Take her but I swear I will murder you with a scalpel if harm befalls her.” Nobu threatened.

 

“Chichi, I will go with her.” Shinobu said crossing his arms.

 

Nanami walked in and she saw her mother. She saw Lei and nodded to him.

 

“I will go Shinobu.” Nanami said taking her mother's hand.

 

“Probably a good idea. You are more experienced with obstetrics.” Nobu said.

 

Shinobu scowled at the Shouten and both Lei and Jao phased with the two women. Asuna moaned softly when she was in the in between. She leaned her head back and she cried a little.

 

“I am so sorry. It did not occur to me that you needed to be here. I would have seen to it.” Lei stated.

 

“No it is okay. Nanami!” Asuna cried in relief.

 

Nanami squeezed her hands and looked at the wraith healer.

 

“Doctor Yamasaki Nanami.” She said thrusting out her hand.

 

“I am Sung Jao Li.” He said bowing.

 

“So they need these `in between' places because they are fully coming into their corporeal selves?” She asked.

 

“Yes.” Jao nodded impressed by her observations.

 

“Okay Haha. Now you should do much better. I am checking you now.” She said softly.

 

Her mother nodded and her skin was clammy from the pains earlier. She checked her and she was not surprised to find her ready to push. She pushed the males out for a few minutes and got her mother set up to bear down, Lei came in and Jao waited back to see the young female healer.

 

“Okay Haha. I remember how bad it hurt so I am not going to say it does not. I need you to push really hard okay?” Nanami said softly.

 

Asuna nodded too exhausted to say much. She bore down and she grunted hard as she worked really hard to expel her first Shouten twin. Nanami was encouraging her but it was too long and too difficult. She was loosing every ounce of energy and her doctor daughter looked determined. She looked over at Jao and he neared.

 

“Can you wash your hands and phase carefully into her womb and help me guide her?” She asked softly.

 

“Yes. Give me one moment.” Jao said leaving.

 

He washed up carefully. Nanami was feeling her stomach and she indicated where she wanted him. Jao was careful and he had never done this but it was sound in thought.

 

“Okay Haha. Big push for me. One more time! You can do it.” Nanami said as the Shouten healer actually help guide her.

 

Asuna screamed in pain but Nanami was gently pulling out the head and Lei was pacing and fidgety. He winced when he heard her scream but he saw a head of matted black hair. Suddenly Nanami was holding a baby girl. She began a quivering cry and Lei actually fought back tears. Her eyes were open for a moment and he stared at a golden brown eyes. He choked back tremendous emotion.

 

“Haha? Haha wake up!” Nanami yelled.

 

Jao took the babe from her and Nanami moved to hold her mother's shoulders. Asuna was passed out and Nanami pulled her stethoscope and she looked up. Hanaj came in and Nanami's heart was beating badly.

 

“I have to get her back to Yamasaki General. Her blood pressure is through the roof.” She said urgently.

 

“What does that mean?” Hanaj asked concerned.

 

“It means she is crashing.” Nanami said.

 

Lei's eyes widened and Hanaj phased them back to the hospital. As soon as the appeared, Nanami yelled for Shinobu and Nobu. Both ran in and Nobu began cursing loudly. He quickly hooked up an IV and gave her Lasix. Hanaj was freaking out and this was not what he was used to. Nanami draped her mother's stomach and she moved so quickly and he realized she was doing what was a called a crash caesarean section. He watched in awe and fear as her daughter cut her open along an old scar.

 

“Suction please.” Nanami snapped to Shinobu.

 

Her brother suctioned up blood and Nanami quickly separated the different layers. She reached his son in a matter of minutes. She pulled out a silver haired boy and Hanaj was floored. He was big and he was squalling loudly. Nanami pulled out the placenta and Shinobu took his brother to a warmer and began to check him.

 

“Is he okay?” Hanaj asked in a low whisper.

 

“Oh hai. He looks really good but he is not full Shouten.” Shinobu said as he listened to his heart.

 

“Why do you say that?” Hanaj asked.

 

“It was the female that kept phasing back and forth. This little guy has been constant.” Shinobu said softly as he smiled at his baby brother.

 

Hanaj inched closer and he saw silver eyes. He was stunned as he stared at the tiny male and he looked over at Asuna as she was being sewed up. Nobu actually wiped an angry tear away from his face and he was glared at by the famed spider doctor.

 

“I have seen her loose more babes and almost dying in child birth.” He said in a choked up voice.

 

“I am sorry for that healer but I did not want her in danger. I am sorry she is as such.” Hanaj said respectfully.

 

Nobu kept a close eye on her vitals and she was on heavy doses of a few medicines. He could not bring himself to tear away and he shut everyone else out.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lei was holding his newborn daughter and she was soft and beautiful. Her brown eyes were wide open. She was watching the world around her and his heart clenched painfully. She had sworn him a child and had given him two.

 

“Lifen.” He whispered to his daughter.

 

She turned her head to stare at Lei and he choked back sobs. Jao carefully took her and Lei had to force himself to breathe deeply.

 

“Your mate was in danger my lord. I shall check her over carefully whilst you check on her.” His healer said softly.

 

Lei nodded and he phased to the hospital. Asuna was hooked up to IV's and she was sedated. Nanami looked exhausted and she looked up at the Jing leader.

 

“She had preeclampsia again. She is an induced coma to stop seizures she started having.” She said sighing.

 

“I do not understand completely.” He said confused.

 

“It means Haha is not going to wake up for a few days. She is bad off at the moment.” She said almost depressed.

 

“Can I do anything?” He demanded.

 

“No. The medicine will work given a little time. She has to give her body a break. She is going to end up killing herself.” She said in a tired tone.

 

“I will stay with her.” Lei stated.

 

“The Hanaj fellow is hovering around my baby brother in the nursery. He is corporeal.” She sighed.

 

“How?” He asked shocked.

 

“No idea. He just is.” She shrugged.

 

Nanami got up and left Lei alone with her. He took her hand and his face was covered in tears. He kissed her hands and stared down at the woman that had made him so madly in love. Truly he did not know that it could be like this and he continued to kiss her hands over and over.

 

“What did you all do to her?” He heard from across the room.

 

Yhea was furious and he saw Lei Jing holding onto the woman. Lei's eyes simmered in hatred and he stood.

 

“Where are the babes?” He demanded.

 

“None of your business you fucking tr'Awnhi!” Lei snarled.

 

“What is wrong with her Jing? She was fine when I had her.” Yhea hissed.

 

“You just do not get it. She hates you! She hates most Shouten with unbridled passion.” Lei hissed back.

 

“Well that is the thing, she hates us and she hates herself. This Kaito fellow has known for a long while what she will be if she stays alive long enough. Get her well Jing as I will have what I want!” Yhea said nearing him and growling in his face.

 

“What is that?” Lei demanded.

 

“A future for our kind but that does not include you or Hanaj. You two are expendable.” Yhea stated arrogantly.

 

“Oh yeah?” Lei asked suddenly shoving a hand into Yhea's gut.

 

“Gods you are a brazen bastard.” Yhea choked.

 

The tr'Awnhi prince had to phase out and Lei looked around. He pathed to Hanaj and the older man came in. They both stood guard until she would wake up.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Shinobu was upset and he had been doing that a lot as of late. He was sitting at Hibari's lounge and Mizuki had called a meeting with the siblings. She was planning an offensive without their mother and some thought her too bold. Mizuki did not care and she was outlining her plans. Shinobu had seen Imari around and Nobuyuki and she had started a sort of relationship between siblings. He found her a goddess and he was still seeing the lynx onna some, Irina was pretty simple and he supposed it was okay. He felt bitter and angry. He was actually jealous of his younger sister and she had a pretty sweet life going on in his mind. She was adored by Doctor Ishida. She had an occasional thing going on with the shinigami named Ashido and her pink haired boy toy was mad about her too. Nanami had not known it but he had roughed up the effeminate Arrancar and made him regret being male. Hai he was too protective of her and he felt like an asshole to boot. He sighed and he downed his scotch. He stood up and Mizuki said something but he waved. Ayana looked concerned and she jumped up. She followed him out and he was stumbling.

 

“Hey Shinobu wait up.” She said holding him up.

 

“Sorry big sis. Hai little brother is drunk.” He said smirking.

 

“What the hell is going on with you?” She demanded.

 

“Just realizing that I am a nobody. I am nothing in comparison to my Chichi and I am nothing in comparison to my baby sister; who mind you is turning into Haha. I am a second rate doctor and apparently a second rate man.” He said bitterly.

 

“You are drunk and making no damn sense! You are a decorated doctor with so many damn awards and you are jealous of little Nanami?” Ayana demanded.

 

“You are right and I am a drunken idiot.” He said bowing.

 

He walked away and he actually ported to his apartment. He fell onto his couch and he looked over at the over stuffed chair. There sat a woman who he had no idea who she was. Her hair was sand colored and she had what appeared to be tattoos on her upper arms and face. Her lips were incredibly full and he blinked trying to figure out what she was.

 

“I am sorry to invade your home. I need your help.” She said in a sing song voice.

 

“I uh well I am not exactly in a state to help much. Who or what are you?” She asked.

 

“I am a reptile daemon.” She said standing.

 

“Pardon me?” He asked sitting up.

 

“I need your help or someone's help. I heard rumors that the king of the blacks was alive and here.” She said.

 

“Um Amedeo, Adrastus, and Gabrielus live on the floor above. I am sure they are home. Amedeo has become a hermit since my brother was born.” Shinobu said shaking his head.

 

“I see. I am Adelphia. Could you please take me to his majesty Rex Amedeo?” She asked softly.

 

Shinobu got up and he was dizzy. This onna was so damn beautiful that it was intoxicating. She followed him and her clothes were tight. Odd thing was she had a chest and he was told reptile females just were not that well endowed. He gulped and he went to the basilisk's apartment. He knocked loudly and Wen answered. She looked exhausted and he looked sorrowful for bothering her.

 

“Hey come in. They are crying again.” She said looking crazed.

 

“Where is your mate?” Shinobu asked.

 

“Oh he is in the sun bed at the moment. Can you look at them? Do they have colic?” She asked harried.

 

“Hai I can.” He said drifting into his sister's room.

 

Adelphia tasted the air and she walked to a back bedroom. She slipped open a door and she found a crib. She looked down and her heart stopped. The boy looked just like Amedeo and she smiled at him. He gave a chubby smile and he grabbed her finger.

 

“I am coming my little man. Give Papa a moment.” Amedeo called from the bathroom.

 

The baby gurgled and Amedeo walked in. He stopped dead in his tracks and the female turned.

 

“Hello Papa.” She said softly.

 

“Adelphia?” He asked shaking in confusion.

 

“Si Papa. It is me.” She said closing the space.

 

He hugged her tightly and he could not fathom how she had survived. He could not grasp his daughter not having the security of family or a home.

 

“I survived but I could not catch up with you. You swept through Europe so fast. I went into hibernation.” She said kissing each cheek of his.

 

“I would have stopped for you!” He said as tears drenched his cheeks.

 

“Papa, I was bad off. It took me awhile to recover. You would not have recognized me. I was burned so bad and it took me two centuries to heal. I am glad you did not see me as such si?” She said hugging him tightly.

 

He actually cried harder as he held her and Justinus began whimpering. She pulled away and stared down at the small basilisk boy.

 

“Papa he is so beautiful! Who is his materna?” She asked picking him up.

 

“Her name is Asuna. She is a powerful mammal daemon but she is now in a coma.” He sighed heavily.

 

He took Justinus and he called on the nanny. She watched her baby brother and smiled softly. Her father turned to her and he was amazed at what a beautiful woman she had turned out to be. She had his eyes but looked like Valentina. He cupped her face with his hand and shook his head. He sat down on his couch and Gabrielus came into the room and stopped dead.

 

“Princess Adelphia?” he asked shocked.

 

“Si General!” She smiled warmly.

 

“Gods but how?” The white asked shocked.

 

“I survived. I came to see my Papa and talk to him. So good to see you.” She said graciously.

 

Gabrielus drifted to his room and his princess had become a beautiful woman. She and Amedeo were talking and he automatically picked up his son and began walking him. Adelphia watched her father and it was so good to see him. He told her about coming out of hibernation and meeting Justinus's mother. He explained that she was a leader of sorts and an extremely powerful femmina. She was curious to meet the femmina and she saw the inebriated male come out and he looked sheepish.

 

“I am going to crash. Very good to meet you.” Shinobu said bowing.

 

“Si.” Adelphia nodded.

 

She watched the man leave and she jumped up. She followed him to the door and he looked back at her.

 

“Thank you for showing me where he was.” She stated softly.

 

“You are welcome. I am glad I know Latin.” He chuckled.

 

He drifted away and Adelphia went to her father and they talked for a long while. A phone rang and Gabrielus picked it up. He listened and he looked at Amedeo.

 

“My rex you need to get to the hospital.” He said softly.

 

“What is wrong?” Amedeo asked standing up.

 

“She is awake.” Gabrielus stated.

 

Amedeo looked happy and he took his daughter's hand and shifted them to the hospital. She followed her father and Asuna saw her basilisk lover come in. He took her hand and kissed it. Asuna's eyes flicked over the female and she recognized her from his memories.

 

“Princess Adelphia.” She said weakly.

 

“Si! How did you know?” She asked surprised.

 

“You look like Valentina. Your Papa talks about her all the time.” Asuna smiled.

 

Adelphia looked surprised and Amedeo actually blushed. It made her feel good that even though her father had a new family that her mother was spoken about and thought of. It made her feel very good indeed. It was obvious that she was recovering from a major illness or something and her Papa was very much into attending her. She had seen the spider male and she shifted back to his apartment. She politely knocked on the door and he actually answered. He stood only in a pair of lounge pants and he looked shocked. She smiled a little at him and he stepped aside. She walked past him and she could see he was attracted to her.

 

“Why are you drunk?” She asked.

 

“Miserable day is all. I am a doctor and my mother had a rough delivery.” He shrugged.

 

“She is much like the mortal Cleopatra no?” She asked eyeing him.

 

“I guess.” He chuckled.

 

“She was an amazing woman si. So you blame your mother's rough birth upon yourself?” She asked.

 

“Why are you asking such personal questions?” Shinobu asked her.

 

“I do not know. I am curious is all.” Adelphia stated.

 

“Well honestly I drank way too much and I have a shift tomorrow. You found your father and I am truly happy for you. Now let me sleep.” He said in a grumpy tone.

 

“I was hoping for amor.” She said smirking at him.

 

“What?” He sputtered.

 

“Si.” She nodded.

 

“Okay we just met and I am really not liking the idea that you think I am a whore.” He said miffed.

 

“You have been told you are very pretty no?” She asked.

 

“Someone said it once but I am not a stud onna!” Shinobu growled.

 

“You should be.” She laughed softly.

 

He growled out and left her standing there. He had been told often that he was attractive and at times he resented it. He got sick of being a pretty face and feeling second rate. He felt her ample chest pressed against his back and he was aware that her hand was palming him through his lounge pants.

 

“You have uppyr in you.” She whispered in his ear.

 

“Hai so?” He groaned.

 

“You do not know? I am mostly basilisk dolce uomo. I tasted the air around your materna. My baby brother now has uppyr. Your kind is like crack to a reptile daemon.” Adelphia said in his ear.

 

“What?” He asked stupidly.

 

“You are very pretty and si I am acting unlike you are used to but there are so few uppyr left.” She said pushing him towards his room.

 

She pushed down on his plush bed and he stared at her in utter disbelief. Adelphia was very much loving the light taste of salt on his skin. She pulled his lounge pants down and she eyed him hungrily.

 

“Do not stare at a man like that!” He snapped.

 

“Oh? Shall I tell you what I am thinking?” She asked in a husky tone.

 

“What?” He gasped as she licked along him.

 

“You are a prize.” She said taking him into her mouth.

 

He shut his eyes and he groaned out loudly. Her eyes were a brownish red and he watched the whole time as she ruthlessly took her time in bringing out a huge response. He was breathless as she lifted her head.

 

“Si. I was right and you taste good.” She grinned.

 

She still eyed his male parts and it made him squirm. She stood up and she undid her gold tone short dress. Adelphia stripped down and he watched her like a hawk. She crawled into his lap and he could not breathe. It was the most incredible thing and he was groaning like a whore. She pulled him to her and she guided his mouth to her throat and he slowly bit in. It was like he was in a haze and he began growling. She was groaning too and he now understood what it was that was drawing her. Shinobu felt out of control and the whole time he could swear he was falling. He finally passed out from a pleasure induced coma and he was sleeping like a dead man.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was nursing Lifen and Shen at the moment and Lei watched rapt as she did so. He gave her a warm smile as she fed them.

 

“You have a really silly grin on your face.” She murmured softly.

 

“Well I apologize that this makes me incredibly happy.” He smiled.

 

“So this is Jing Lifen Yu?” She asked.

 

“Yes and this is Jing Shen Gui.” He smirked.

 

“You are just so subtle.” She grinned.

 

He chuckled and he kissed her fully. She whined and he pulled back.

 

“Oh no! Your spider says he will gut me and slice me open if I touch you before you are ready. He and your doctor daughter are looking at how to make birth control work on you.” He chuckled.

 

She made a face at him and he sat down with Shen in his arms. He was speaking in Mongolian very softly and her heart was constricting. Hanaj phased in and he looked down at the bassinet by the bed. His son was sucking his thumb and sleeping.

 

“Hello.” Hanaj said gently.

 

“What is his name Prince Hanaj?” She asked.

 

“Khellian. His name is Khellian tr'Awnhi.” He said looking in love at his son.

 

Khellian slumbered on and continued to suck his thumb. Lei looked at the tiny tr'Awnhi babe and knew without a doubt that they had to protect these three with their lives. Yhea was right and they were a new type of wraith. All three of them could stay corporeal and it floored the two male wraiths. They also could stay in Hueco Mundo and he was certain given her background that they could enter Soul Society. He was beginning to think that the Kazak Shouten would change tactics and start taking her children who showed the same traits. He had a feeling that Yhea wanted all three planes as his playground.

 

“You really think so?” Asuna asked hearing Lei's thoughts.

 

“Yes. Think about it. Soul Society would be an endless source of powerful nourishment and all kinds of things. It would no longer be the domain of the Tomoshibi only.” He shrugged.

 

“You think Yhea will take me and my children as brood mares and studs?” She asked shocked.

 

“Yes.” Hanaj agreed.

 

“Was your nephew not considered a genius at war?” Lei asked.

 

“Yes. Honestly he makes Raganos look like a cretin. Yhea has always thought outside the box. Raganos never questioned if it was his son or not but I suspect he may in fact not be of actual tr'Awnhi blood.” Hanaj stated.

 

“Truly? How many different clans of Shouten are there?” She asked in shock.

 

“There are five main branches. There of course are the Jings. Then the tr'Awnhi, Koval, Besud, and the Sahen.” Hanaj said pacing.

 

“Who of those are loyal to the tr'Awnhi?” She asked.

 

“The Koval and Sahen are loyal to the ruling house and the Jings were. The Besud have always done their own thing. They have never left Hueco Mundo that I know of.” He answered.

 

“So perhaps we offer the Besud an olive branch and induce civil war.” She stated.

 

“Actually that is a good idea.” Lei stated.

 

“Make Raganos so damn stretched thin on all planes and we can strike. The one to worry about truly is Yhea. He can be ruthless and damn powerful.” He said.

 

“Okay.” She nodded.

 

“I think I am going to set up a smaller residence in the in between in the British Isles Hanaj. I will keep the small pups and hide these three as well.” Lei said.

 

“Yes. Thank you Jing.” Hanaj said bowing his head.

 

“I have two thirds stake in this Prince Hanaj. Believe I have every interest in protecting our little threesome as well as this threesome.” He laughed softly.

 

“You have a wet nurse?” Asuna asked.

 

“Yes. Now no worries and your spider says no more babes for awhile okay?” Lei said firmly.

 

“Yes sir.” She said rolling her eyes.

 

“Asuna this scared us both. We have both faced down monsters and such. You could have died and we would have died right with you and left the little ones without parents.” Hanaj reasoned.

 

“Okay! I will take it easy.” She growled.

 

Hanaj chuckled and kissed her forehead. Lei did the same and he made a stupid face at Hanaj and the prince went to hit him. Lei laughed and picked up his two infants. Hanaj picked up his son and they phased out. She laid her head back and she sighed. Her mind was mulling over the Shouten situation and she rolled to her side. She fell into a light sleep and she came to a little as she felt Yhea. She snarled as she came to and his chest was heaving in fury.

 

“Where are they?” He snapped.

 

“They are mine.” She hissed.

 

“Oh no woman they will be mine. You will be mine as will your whole damn family. I have been searching and come to find out that several of your offspring show your tendencies. It looks like my little idea is a good one. You have siblings as well.” He said hauling her up.

 

“Bastard!” She said hitting his beautiful face.

 

“Yes, I truly am a bastard but one that will win.” He said forcing her to stare at him in the face.

 

He kissed her lightly and phased out. She fell to the bed and snarled in fury.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yhea was back within Hueco Mundo and he was listening to his father drone on and on. Things were getting to him badly and he was sick of the stupidity of the man he had always called his lord and father. He stood up and snapped in anger.

 

“Shut up old man! You are an idiot! Listen to me for once will you?” Yhea growled.

 

“You keep showing up there and what purpose does it serve. You get hurt and you draw attention to yourself. I would swear you are a Jing!” Raganos swore up and down.

 

“Maybe I am.” He growled.

 

“Shut up Yhea.” Raganos snarled.

 

Yhea's beautiful contorted in fury and he morphed his limb and shoved it deeply into the gut of the only father he had ever known. He knew and it was obvious to his father as well.

 

“Mother could not stand you. She could not stand your stupidity or your idiocy. She was in love with Shan Lao. Grandfather kept him as a pet and you were such a sod half the time. My mother bore me and gave me the tr'Awnhi name but I am Jing blood. Die you worthless bastard and I will be the one to save our people.” Yhea said as he watched the light leave his “father's” eyes.

 

Raganos fell to the floor dead and Yhea stared down at him. He spit at the floor and he called on the noble council. It looks as if a sword had pierced his gut and Yhea rolled his eyes.

 

“The canine swine attacked and finally killed him. We need to avenge him.” He said coolly to a high ranking noble.

 

 

“Yes your majesty!” The Shouten said going to his knee.

 

They took his body to lie in state and he casually walked on. He had grand plans and he needed to see them filled. He had no clue that his obsession with Eyal would lead to an Eve of sorts to the Shouten. He also had no clue that he would be the one to finally reunite the Shouten and the uppyr the way they had been eons ago. Yes, he had much to do.
