In the Winds
 
Ayana was in Tibet going through the beautiful wilds. Memories of the night before made her cheeks burn and she wondered how he could have ever been so staid. He had so much emotion in him that he unleashed when they were together. She was searching for her jii-chan it seemed he did not want to be found. She lifted her nose and she scented someone that smelled an awful lot like her mate and she jumped up in a tree. Her claws were pulled back and an absolutely beautiful male tarantula came to the tree.
 
“YOU!” He sneered.
 
“Who are you?” Ayana demanded.
 
“I am Riku. Lord Chikara is my father. You whore!” He hissed.
 
“I assume you know who I am correct?” She asked glowering in anger.
 
“You are Lord Ishin's whore daughter. You think I am afraid of a snotty ass little bitch?” He asked as his brown eyes held fury.
 
Ayana jumped down and she pulled her claws back further and she had to tell herself that this man was justified in his anger.
 
“I am sorry you got caught up in my issues but I love Chikara with all my heart.” She said flatly.
 
“My mother's heart is broken. I hope you are happy funnel web whore. You may be the royalty of the Federation but I can hate you and so does my brother. I hope you rot you little slut.” He said slapping her.
 
“Your father admired and liked her but he did not love her. Does your mother not deserve love?” Ayana demanded.
 
“What do you know of our ways funnel? Just because your species lets its onna run rough shod all over hell and creation does not mean EVERY kumo species is that way. My father was a good and honorable man until he went with you on that mission. I wished that dragon had eaten you.” He said spitting at her.
 
Ayana lost her head and she slashed his handsome face. He growled and came at her too. She let her fan blade appear and he jumped back. He was not stupid and her prowess with a blade was legendary. Ayana the Younger had Ayana the Great's ability with a blade.
 
“This is not over.” He said producing his shoki cloud and stepping through.
 
Her eyes were red and she sighed as her fan receded. She walked on and she felt her grandsire. She walked up to an open web and near the top was a stunning black funnel web. He was sleeping and she snorted at his obviously laid back manners. Her father was so much like him but he was also much more cautious. Jouichi turned and he just stared.
 
“Jii-chan please come down.” She said crossing her arms.
 
-I am quite content. I just had a big meal. What do you wish my beautiful girl? - He pathed.
 
“I would like to talk face to face.” Ayana said aloud.
 
She heard his mental sigh and he changed form. He was still up in his web and he stared down at her. He smiled and she was stunned at how beautiful he was.
 
“How are you Ayana?” He asked.
 
“I am well I suppose. You never come home anymore and we all do wonder about you.” She said in a low tone.
 
“Naraku and Ishin have everything quite under control and I am enjoying being alive. A thousand year nap can change a man.” He said wryly.
 
“I mated Chikara!” She blurted out.
 
Jouichi's face grew serious and he climbed down his web with ease.
 
“Now how in Kamis name did that happen?” He asked surprised.
 
“Long story short is that my mate died and I was a wreck. I was taken by the Shouten and Chikara was there to retrieve me. Chichi had sent us on a mission to the past and well it is a mess. Chikara's son Riku followed me and was furious.” She explained.
 
“Well my dear you displaced his mother. He was bound to be angry.” Jouichi replied.
 
“Chikara told me about the tattoos.” She said softly.
 
“Well my old friend has a big mouth.” He growled.
 
“Is that where you got that mark between your brows?” She asked.
 
“Hai.” He nodded.
 
“Chikara felt guilt for loving me at first. I became pregnant with our daughter and he went ballistic when I told him to go to hell.” She stated taking his arm as they talked.
 
“You are as brazen as your namesake my dear. You look like her too.” He said brushing her black hair off of her forehead.
 
“Hai you acted like her too right?” Ayana asked.
 
“Why all these questions Ayana?” He demanded.
 
“Because in his story you all were consumed by something I think I know what it was.” She said tightly.
 
“You think you know what nearly killed me two thousand years ago?” He asked incredulously.
 
“I know I was not there Jii-chan but I can infer okay?” She said irritated.
 
“So like your chichi.” He said lifting her chin.
 
“Hai so very much like you.” She said softly.
 
“How is your mother?” He asked softly.
 
“She is in the past.” Ayana stated.
 
“Why?” He asked curiously.
 
“Yuzuna had a still birth. Jii-chan Sesshomaru thought that Yuzuna could use a change of scenery. You know that Lord Touga was mother's twin when she lived as Sorami.” She stated.
 
“I am so sorry for your sister. Well what do you want to know Ayana?” Jouichi asked.
 
“What happened to you that night Jii-chan? I know what happened to Chikara.” She said.
 
“I would rather not discuss it.” He growled.
 
“Jii-chan that event changed your life and the man I love. I suspect that whore Danika did something to you both and I want to know what!” She hissed.
 
“Who is Danika?” He asked surprised by her vehemence.
 
“You have been away too long. Shinobu was taken and changed into an incubus. Danika is Haha's grandmere. She is Obbasan's mother.” She explained.
 
His mouth dropped open and he was shocked.
 
“What does this have to do with me and Chikara?” Jouichi asked darkly.
 
“When Chikara was getting that accursed tattoo, he said there was a blond onna who spoke Russian. She did something to you too and I want to know what!” She snarled.
 
“I honestly do not know exactly what happened. I was so damn out of it. I could swear I was going to die but I was happy to do it. I wanted to die in that second. It felt so good and I was in such bliss.” He said.
 
Ayana's face looked wrathful and she slapped her grandsire on his head and he looked at her like she was a nut.
 
“You were bitten by a succubus you idiot.” She growled.
 
“Is your mother not a succubus?” He asked again surprised.
 
“Hai she is. More so everyday but she has morals where this whore does not.” Ayana said in fury.
 
“I would like to talk to your mother.” He sighed.
 
“Why have you avoided us jii-chan?” She demanded.
 
“There is a lot I will never say Ayana. I do need to see Asuna though.” He said flatly.
 
“What is it with you and Haha? She was your mother in her previous life. Do you still see her as such?” Ayana asked curiously.
 
“NO!” He choked on the thought.
 
“Just asking. I know Chichi would love to see you.” She said pulling away.
 
“I will return soon it seems.” He said nodding.
 
Ayana made a shoki cloud appear and she stepped through. He stood there and memories flooded him. So much had happened since that incident and his own adult life. It had taken nearly ten years for Chikara to speak to him again. He sighed and he ported to Juria in Northern Japan. She startled when she saw him and he smirked. Gaku Jouichi was too pretty for his own good Juria decided and she shook her head.
 
“Hai Jouichi?” She asked.
 
“I need to see Asuna.” He stated.
 
“Okay. She is in the past whilst you slept.” Juria remarked.
 
He nodded and he pulled his black hair down and it fell to his middle back. His hair had always been long and he had no intentions of cutting it. He saw the subtle ripple and he walked through. It would be strange to see her again after so long but he needed to talk to her. He knew she would be in inu territory. He could also feel her due to their unique bond and he ported close to the Western Palace. He climbed to the upper canopy of a large tree and he spun a web. He stayed in his humanoid form and he knew it would be a few minutes. He waited exactly thirty seconds when she appeared in the limbs themselves. His black eyes met her golden ones and there was such a huge amount of emotion.
 
“Jouichi.” She said softly.
 
“Hello Asuna.” He stated watching her.
 
He reached out a hand and brushed her cheek with his hand.
 
“My mitsukai.” He whispered.
 
She made a much sorrowed noise and she pulled him to her. It was consuming them both as they touched after more than one hundred seventy years. He had to keep them steady but it was difficult when they were becoming too heated. Asuna guided him backwards into his web and he was shocked when he felt the supremely strong silk underneath him. He stared up at her and the look on her face was one of immense need. She was undoing his hakama style pants and he too busied his hands undoing her kimono. Too much familiarity in this life as he hands caressed her soft flesh. He groaned loudly and he pulled her down on his staff. He cried out in such a deep tone as she let out a quivering cry. He crushed her body to his as he kissed her mouth with such intensity that she was bruising. She was moaning against his mouth as they were just kissing and practically clawing at the other.
 
“Why were you away for so long?” She demanded.
 
“Trying to give my sons their due.” He said gasping softly.
 
“You idiot. I love you Jouichi. I have always loved you.” She growled as tears fell down her cheeks.
 
“Kamis do you have to grip me so tightly?” Jouichi asked choking softly.
 
“Hai! You bastard! You are good at running away, much better then I have ever been. You left me. How could you?” She demanded pressing her forehead to his.
 
“I am sorry. I was trying to do right in my life. Kamis Asuna. Oh Kamis.” He said stuttering as he had a staggering release.
 
She had purposely been stroking his mind and squeezing her core around him. His claws raked down her back and she hissed. He was shaking as she went back to kissing him. This was the weirdest disagreement he had ever had.
 
“Oh hell.” She growled.
 
“What is it?” He managed to ask.
 
“Touga is coming.” She sighed.
 
“Your grandsire?” He asked.
 
“Hai and my brother in my life as Sorami.” She said climbing off of him.
 
He pouted and she made a face at him. He sighed and pulled his clothes in order.
 
“I needed to talk to you mitsukai.” He said softly.
 
“And talk we shall.” She whispered.
 
“Sister?” Touga called.
 
“Hai Touga I am here.” She called down.
 
“Why are you up in a tree?” He demanded.
 
“Because I am conversing with a member of my family if that is alright with you.” Asuna said shortly.
 
Jouichi jumped down followed by Asuna and Touga looked him over. He raised a brow and Jouichi raised a brow at him. They both loved this woman for different reasons.
 
“You are kumo.” He stated.
 
“Very good inu.” Jouichi snorted.
 
“Jouichi act right! Touga do not be rude.” She growled.
 
“Jouichi? Are you Lord Gaku Jouichi?” Touga asked.
 
“I am he.” He nodded.
 
“You knew my father.” Touga said bowing.
 
“Hai I knew Akinori well. I remember you as a small child.” Jouichi said.
 
“Your son mated my sister.” He said raising a brow.
 
“I know. I think he did a marvelous thing. Inu and kumo go well together.” Jouichi retorted.
 
“Stop posturing!” Asuna growled at them both.
 
“Well I was wondering if you have seen Yuzuna. She had taken off again.” He growled softly.
 
“Touga, she can handle herself around the palace.” Asuna sighed.
 
“I think she has taken up with one of my soldiers.” He snapped.
 
“And?” She asked annoyed.
 
“It is not proper.” Touga said exasperated.
 
“Because she is a princess and this soldier is a commoner or something else Touga? I assure you her father would have approved and her elder brother would love to see her with an inu.” Asuna said crossing her arms.
 
“Well since you have thought on the subject. I am only her great grandfather.” He said annoyed.
 
“I also assure you that my Chichi would approve.” She smiled.
 
“Bah! Damn females.” He growled as he stalked off.
 
Jouichi seemed amused and he was still extremely aroused but he was more then old enough to control himself. Asuna it seemed was not and she shoved him against the tree and he stood taller then she and she looked up at him.
 
“You self righteous, self castigating bastard.” She breathed against his neck.
 
“Kamis your compliments are making my head spin mitsukai.” He said sarcastically.
 
“Shut up.” She snapped.
 
He neared her lips with his own and they both were shaking a little and he buried his hands in her silver hair. Jouichi again began to kiss her but this time it was slowly so he could taste her properly. Asuna clutched at him as he dominated her and she was groaning against him. She bared his chest under her fingers and she forcefully ripped her lips from his. She slowly dragged her lips down his chest and his eyes were clouded over in such need.
 
“Kamis I have tried to forget you. I have tried to move on from you.” He admitted.
 
“Why?” She growled.
 
“I told you.” Jouichi whispered.
 
“Kamis you ass.” She said as her tongue dragged across his skin.
 
“You say this as you are making me insane with need?” He asked in a strained voice.
 
“I have missed you so badly. I did not search for you because you asked for space.” She said as she wrapped her lips around one flat nipple.
 
His eyes rolled back as she tongued the now erect small piece of flesh. His breathing quickened and he held the back of her head as she, without mercy, brought him so much pleasure.
 
“Why is it when I try to do the right thing that you always get so crazed?” Jouichi asked gasping.
 
“You fool have you not figured out that you are mine? You were never hers. I should have wasted her the second I saw her.” She said talking about Fusae.
 
“More please! Please quit teasing me.” He growled.
 
“No, you need to remember what you missed.” Asuna hissed.
 
She ripped his hakama and he knew what she would do. It did not matter to her that it was middle of the day or that they were out in the open. Her lips were dragging down his chest to his belly. She nipped it hard enough to bruise the skin but it made him all the more excited.
 
“Hai. Oh hai please.” He moaned.
 
“You want me to?” She asked in a husky tone.
 
“Hai. I want that. Hai!” Jouichi growled out.
 
His pleas made her whine softly and she began to lick inside of his thigh and he shook in anticipation. She licked softly and he cried out as she trailed her slick organ along his stones. He had forgotten how fearless and how open she was. Jouichi squeezed his eyes shut when she pressed her tongue to his member. His cries were increasing as she plunged him into her mouth. His claws gouged the tree trunk and his chest burned. He was groaning out “angel” over and over as she continued to plunge him and suck him. She guided his own hand and he let his venom out. He slammed his outstretched palm flat against the tree bark and his body rushed toward a marvelous end. She pulled back just before and he snarled in anger.
 
“Hush Jouichi. I want to feel you inside of me.” She growled softly.
 
“Hai. So hard Asuna.” He said in a strained voice.
 
She stood up and slipped the kimono off again. She looked up and he yanked her to him and ported to the web above. She laid back and opened wide to him. He fell upon her and thrust into her. She lifted her head and she groaned in his ear.
 
“Why did you leave me?” She whispered in a moan.
 
He was speechless and he fell into becoming one with her. He released his venom several times and in small amounts to facilitate their reactions. He was coming apart it felt like and he felt blood dripping from claws digging in from the incredible joining. He was gasping in lungs full of air as their bodies and minds were melting together. Her loud cry silenced any wild life and Asuna blacked out. His own vision was edged in blackness and he felt like he needed a funnel. He knew what she was and he knew what happened when they coupled. He truly had no energy and he changed form. He actually gathered her close to his body and he fell asleep.

Jouichi came awake slowly and he became aware that she was petting him. His mind was groaning and she was wicked. He made noises and she was growling softly. He changed form and he was flushed.
 
“Kamis Asuna.” He groaned as he began nipping her pulse.
 
“Can you talk a little?” She asked.
 
“Maybe.” He said sweating.
 
She sat in his lap away from him and he gasped harder. She barely rotated her hips but it was enough to give him exquisite feeling.
 
“You said you needed to talk.” Asuna whispered.
 
“Ayana came to me. Chikara and she have talked about past.” He groaned out softly.
 
“Hai.” She mumbled.
 
“She thinks she knows who…I cannot think.” He choked out.
 
Asuna was gleaning from his mind a little but the slow undulation undid them both. He gripped her tightly as spasms rocked him. Jouichi had to hold onto her as euphoria spread through him. His rested his forehead on the back of her neck.
 
“Kamis I had forgotten how good you felt.” He whispered.
 
“You too.” She said lifting his hand and nuzzling it.
 
“Your daughter thinks that I was nearly killed by a succubus. She said the name Danika.” He stated as the warmth of his breath hit her neck.
 
“I am trying to remember that incident. I swear my memories are so faint.” She stated with a furrowed brow.
 
“I prefer it that way.” Jouichi said as he kissed along her shoulder.
 
“I know but sometimes it would help if I did remember clearer. I remember Nobu as Nagaharu very well but the rest…it is a blur.” Asuna stated.
 
“This life is what matters mitsukai.” He murmured.
 
“You were a little slut at one time.” She said softly.
 
“Hai I was.” He chuckled.
 
“You dragged Chikara all over hell and creation. What were you looking for?” She asked.
 
“No idea. I know I saw a beautiful onna and I was a horny little fool. My mother swears I was her in the male form.” He smiled at the memory.
 
“Did you enjoy your romps Jouichi?” She asked amused.
 
“Well if truth be told then hai I did.” He laughed.
 
“Touga might take issue with you in the palace.” Asuna murmured relishing the feel of him.
 
“You think I am afraid of him?” Jouichi asked smirking.
 
“No, that is what is terrifying.” She laughed loudly.
 
“Onna I want to lay you back on a futon and take you slowly. I want to make you scream.” He said in her ear.
 
“What is wrong with your web?” Asuna chuckled.
 
“Oh it is delightful, believe me but all the movement will weaken it eventually. Sneak me into the palace my fearless mitsukai.” He said cupping her breasts.
 
“Hai.” She moaned loudly.
 
She ported them and he felled her against the futon. His long ebony hair fell around them and her breath caught as he opened her widely and pressed her thighs to her chest.
 
“Jouichi.” She gasped hard.
 
“I was wrong. I was wrong for staying away from you. Fate has taught me that you will never be away from me. In one way or another you are my conscience and protector. You keep me sane mitsukai.” He stated breathing against her mouth.
 
She arched her neck and she released a guttural moan. She knew damn well Touga would hear and she knew he would have a fit.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yuzuna was in her great grandsire's study listening to his tirade. Her jii-chan never talked this much and she fought back a yawn. Uchuu was on duty at the moment and she had ideas. Touga snarled and she looked at him.
 
“I know she is here but I cannot scent her or feel her yoki. Why is that pup?” He snapped.
 
“Because it is part of her yoki. She is a succubus my lord and they can mask anything. Can I go now?” She asked annoyed.
 
“Spoiled little bitches! Indulged is what Sesshomaru does! He indulged my sister and now he has spoiled you too!” He growled.
 
“I am not a spoiled bitch! That would be your nasty bitch mate. I was in the dojo at the age of three. I sat at jii-chan's side as he conducted meetings and everything. I know this land as well as you sir now if you do not mind I am going!” Yuzuna snapped as she left the study.
 
She went to the garrison and Uchuu was in training. Her heart was thudding as she saw him. She did not care if it was known that they were lovers. She closed her eyes and she heard him choke. A grin spread on her face and she heard his commander dismiss him as he sputtered and choked harder. He made it to a deserted portion outside of the barracks and he slid down the wall. He released a quiet groan; he knew she was near and she was torturing him with her mental yoki. She had taught him so many pleasures of the flesh that it left him staggering. He also poured out his mind to her. She was so intelligent and she understood exactly all matters that normally preoccupied men. Uchuu was certain he was falling in love with her. He also knew it was doomed. He had to grab his own girth to ease the throbbing. He had never known the pleasures that could be brought on. Yuzuna growled in appreciation as she watched him.
 
“Zuna please. I want you.” He breathed out.
 
“Hai but this is so beautiful. Please do not stop.” She begged.
 
“Onna! Kamis I hurt. You make me ache so badly.” He whined as his hand could not be stilled.
 
“I do not want you hurting. Harder Uchuu.” She said as she neared him.
 
He could scent her and it was making him feral. He began gasping as his body erupted. She lowered her head and cleaned him as he came. Uchuu's head lolled to the side and he felt decadent.
 
“Unmask your scent. I want to smell you.” He said breathlessly.
 
Yuzuna did as he asked and he snarled.
 
“Heat. You are in heat.” He groaned.
 
“I know. That is why I masked it.” She stated looking up.
 
“Will you help me?” He demanded.
 
She nodded and he grabbed her. He ripped off her kimono and her scent was so damn alluring that his mind was gone. He pulled her down as she straddled his lap. She immediately attacked his mouth and he groaned into it. They moved in unison as they made love and Uchuu was loosing his cohesion and she ported them out to the forest. He looked at her with maddened and crimson eyes.
 
“Must stop.” He said growling.
 
“No Uchuu. Change form.” She said softly.
 
He growled and he did. She followed suit and he mentally groaned when she presented herself. He mounted her and it became a haze. She was encouraging him to follow all of his instincts and he was panting to try and hold back. He lifted his head and howled out as their bodies erupted in rapture. He wrapped his jaws around her throat and she did not stop him. His inu mind only knew that this was right and he snapped his jaws hard enough to mark her. They both changed form and he was panting through his snarls. She shoved him off and she pinned him down; she snapped her own jaws on his juncture and he actually lost consciousness. Yuzuna laid her head in the crook of his neck and woke up quickly. They were sticky from blood and sweat as he lifted his head.
 
“Yuzuna we should have stopped. You are royalty and I am nobody.” He said in an exhausted tone.
 
“Shut up! I do not want to hear that ever! I wanted this. I knew what I was doing.” She said taking his hand in hers.
 
“Onna, I love you. I know I love you but the Taisho will go ballistic.” He said closing his eyes.
 
“Then you come home with me. You come with me and be with me. Yuudai will love you to pieces.” She grinned.
 
“I am not of that era. How do you know that I am not there now?” He asked.
 
“Very true.” She thought.
 
“You are in heat, us, me and this.” He said with jumbled words.
 
“I am in heat and we made love. I marked you and you marked me. So?” She asked grinning.
 
“Are you saying that you want my pup?” He asked surprised.
 
“Hai.” She smiled.
 
“Yuzuna this is not a small matter. Being lovers is one thing but mates is another.” He sighed.
 
“Let me port you to your room and you can dress. Then we shall see my mother. She is the head of our family. If she approves then I need no other approval.” She said porting them to his room.
 
He was dizzy and he used a pitcher and basin to wash up and she lay naked on his futon. The idea of her getting heavy with his pup was a very heady prospect. She went to his wardrobe and pulled out a yukata. He pulled up his long silver hair into a high pony tail and she followed him out. She took them to her mother's chambers and knocked on the shoji door. She pulled it open and her mother looked sleepy. She stepped aside for them to enter and Jouichi sat sipping tea.
 
“Lord Jouichi!” Yuzuna cried as she went to him and hugged him.
 
“Hello Lady Yuzuna! How have you faired my dear?” He asked.
 
“I am well. How are you? How was Tibet?” She asked.
 
“Good. Your sister Ayana found me.” He smiled.
 
Uchuu was in shock to see a kumo in the palace and Asuna sat and poured tea for Yuzuna and Uchuu.
 
“Please sit Uchuu.” She said as she sipped.
 
“Hai my lady.” He said reverently.
 
“You will return with us. I have not seen you in the future era. You will not stay here whilst my daughter carries your pup. Lord Sesshomaru and her elder brother would flay you alive.” She said bluntly.
 
“But my parents and siblings are here.” He said indignantly.
 
“Then we have a way for you to see them. You mated her Uchuu and you will abide your instincts. You are a member of the royal family now. Yuzuna is married in Soul Society which is another plane entirely. Her marriage does not stand on our plane.” She stated.
 
“I know.” Uchuu said blushing.
 
“We shall leave this evening. Yuzuna, I will tell Yuudai. He will be miffed you do not ask his permission.” Asuna smiled.
 
“Will you please remind him that I am an Orlovich as much as member of the house of Yuu?” She demanded.
 
“Hai I will. Welcome boy to the family.” She said watching Jouichi.
 
“Haha why is Lord Jouichi here?” She asked.
 
“I am here to give sordid details of my youth. Ayana as you know mated Chikara.” Jouichi chuckled.
 
“Oh hai! Hai Chichi Ishin had to put out fires on that one.” She said with wide eyes.
 
Uchuu listened and they carried on with him there. They spoke openly and he realized he was now being included. Lady Asuna did not even bat an eyelash that her daughter had mated a commoner. Much later Asuna appeared before Touga who was fuming but nodded calmly.
 
“It is time we go home but we are taking the boy with us.” She stated.
 
“I am loosing an excellent soldier because?” He asked tightly.
 
“Because Yuzuna mated him and is pupped. Goodbye brother. We will see you again.” She said kissing his cheek.
 
“Hai.” He growled.
 
She smiled and she left the study. She had a crystal and they all ported to the outskirts and she smashed it. Yuzuna pulled Uchuu through and they appeared near the Western Palace in the future era.
 
“I shall speak with Yuudai now.” Asuna said porting.
 
“Come on Uchuu! I want you to meet my jii-chan!” She said excitedly.
 
“I have seen Prince Sesshomaru before.” He said embarrassed.
 
“NO! He is Lord Sesshomaru in this era. He will be in the dojo.” She said dragging him,
 
They walked through until they went into the large dojo. Sesshomaru looked over and he already knew because his sire had left him a letter that was filled with fury. Sesshomaru was amused and thrilled that his favorite grandpup had an inu in her life.
 
“Jii-chan!” She said hugging him.
 
“Hn.” He muttered.
 
“I am pregnant.” She said smiling up at him.
 
“Hai. I can scent it. Get your mate a katana.” He commanded.
 
She pulled Uchuu to the wall and he hissed softly.
 
“This is the man that trained you? He will kill me!” He said with wide eyes.
 
“No he will not. Probably beat you though.” She laughed as she slapped his rear.
 
He made a noise and stared at the current inu lord. His yoki was immense and he saw a raven haired beauty enter. Yuzuna went to her and hugged her tightly. She was not inu and she stared at Sesshomaru with such profound love. He realized this family was different from the Taisho's rule. This family had love and they were pulling him right in. He smiled tentatively and he would face her grandsire.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The family meal was a ruckus and Uchuu was drunk. His new mate was glowing and he realized he knew of her family in the past. They were impossibly rich but highly honorable. Yuudai was smiling as he ate and Ken'ichi was sitting next to Nori and they were giggling.
 
“Boys, you will sit and eat first. Then you will go outside.” Sesshomaru said sternly.
 
“Hai jii-chan!” They said in unison.
 
“That is my brother Ken'ichi and my other brother Nori.” She explained.
 
“They are so young!” He said in her ear.
 
“Mhmm. I will share our history later. Uchuu, I want to go to bed.” She murmured softly.
 
“Hai.” He said mesmerized.
 
Asuna watched and Yuudai did too. He was smirking softly and he watched his sister-daughter leave the dining hall. He was happy but he knew it was complicated for her.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////
Uchuu was slammed against the wall and he knew the stories of pregnant bitches. They would practically rape their mates but not that any inu male in his right mind would complain. She was hovering her lips against his as she undressed him slowly.
 
“What of your husband?” He asked gasping softly.
 
“Can you handle me as I am?” She asked softly.
 
“Kamis Yuzuna I am so dizzy with it all. Onna! What are you doing?” He asked in a lust filled voice.
 
“Very good for men you know. My sister is a doctor and she told me so.” She laughed in his ear.
 
Uchuu closed his eyes as his new mate made him shake life a leaf. Yuudai had blatantly told him that she would go into Soul Society and the rest of the time she would be with him. It said it spoke highly of him that she had chosen an inu. She had not been in a relationship with an inu man in more than two centuries. He knew he had to know more and he intended to use her absences to teach himself about her massive family. She took him and would not allow him to touch her. He was so maddened as his body was engulfed. He whined softly as he climaxed again. His skin was clammy and he slid down the wall.
 
“You are so gorgeous and so amazing.” She said in his ear.
 
“Thank you. I think the same about you.” He said breathing hard.
 
“I want you happy.” Yuzuna stated.
 
“I am. I am deliriously happy.” He admitted.
 
“Okay. You look exhausted.” She smiled.
 
“Hai. You have her blood in you.” He said as a statement.
 
“Hai but not as strong as some of my other siblings. I have no doubt that I drain you some.” She said kissing his brow.
 
“You do a little.” Uchuu stated sleepily.
 
“I am going to hunt some real meat.” She said whispering against his neck.
 
“Hai.” He said getting up and falling onto the marvelous thing called a bed.
 
She smiled and she went outside. She went to the forests and began to hunt. It did not take long and she felt a Shouten. She changed form and she let out her Dakkasou.
 
“What the hell are you doing here?” She snarled at a tall, well sculpted wraith.
 
“I want to know where Ayana is.” He said in anger.
 
“I am not my sister's keeper. She is kumo and she has duties within the Federation.” She snapped.
 
“She is a lying, betraying bitch!” He hissed.
 
“I would watch your tongue Shouten if you wish to loose it.” Yuzuna growled.
 
“You tell her that it is indeed Hatham that fathered that baby. You tell her I will have my son. You tell her I will have her as well. You also tell her that I will destroy Hanaj for killing my twin.” He said stepping back.
 
“She hates you.” Yuzuna said sneering.
 
“No she does not. She hates herself for even liking me. I did not harm her and I have to hear that I have a child from spies!” He said in fury.
 
“The Shouten are a pestilence. You tr'Awnhi are a scourge that deserve annihilation.” Yuzuna said in hatred.
 
“So says you? You have a right to define who lives and dies? You are no God woman and even Gods can be decimated. That boy is Shouten even if he has corporeal blood.” He snarled.
 
“She does not want you sir. She mated Chikara and they are happy.” She said in contempt.
 
“That spider?” He said shaking in a jealous rage.
 
“Hai that kumo. You forget that she is kumo too.” She growled.
 
“You want to know why it was so easy for Hanaj to turn your other sister Iyo? It was because those of you that the succubus gene is dominant in will change. You will change so much that you will be like your mother. Blood drinkers' genes will always win over any daemon, no matter what.” He said phasing away.
Yuzuna stood there and she fished in her pocket. She pulled out her cell phone and she called Ayana. Hatham was still there in his true form and Yuzuna spoke in inu. He cursed the damn canine tongue. He tried to ascertain where the Earth Tigers were from and he truly had no idea. The idea that the spider would raise his son was making him crazy. He was trying his damnedest not to loose his head like Raganos had over the uppyr female. Lei and Hanaj were moving around as well. Raganos was getting desperate and that was not a good place for the Shouten king to be in.
 
“Fine I will meet you at your Tokyo apartment.” Yuzuna whispered.
 
She hung up her cell and she ported away. He appeared behind her and he stunned her. He phased her back to Western Lands and then appeared inside Ayana's apartment. She appeared out of her shoki cloud moments later and Hatham pushed her against a closet door. He slowly phased in and he stared at her in anger. She blinked at him and clenched his fist.
 
“Where is he?” He demanded.
 
“I am sorry but he is not yours.” She said flatly.
 
“Do not try my patience spideress. I can accept your whorish ways but you will not keep me from my only living relative.” He said shaking in anger.
 
“You came to me asshole! I gave you what you wanted. You wanted to get laid and you did.” Ayana hissed.
 
“I wanted to make love to you Ayana. I did not want to fuck like an animal but you are one are you not?” He demanded.
 
“Hai a big nasty, hairy kumo.” She yelled.
 
“Give me my son and I will leave you alone forever.” He said coldly.
 
“Why would I give you my son I almost died having? He is mine and you will have to kill me to find him.” She said flatly.
 
“Give me my son!” He said shaking her.
 
“No. Get out.” She said just coldly.
 
“Do not toy with Ayana. You have toyed with me far too often woman. I tried to be fair to you but you reacted in a most uncouth and hateful manner. He is Shouten!” Hatham growled.
 
“I am uncouth and hateful. I am a spoiled rich princess who gets whatever the hell she wants. Get the hell out of my life! Your kind has ruined my life.” She said in hatred.
 
“My son ruins your life?” Hatham demanded.
 
Ayana did not want him this close and she suddenly pulled him to her lips. He was surprised and so shocked that she even touched him. Hatham snarled against her mouth and he lifted her up. It was so out of control and he phased them to his home outside of Astana. He undressed her as she ripped at his clothes. They fell on his bed as they did not stop kissing. She cried out when he entered her. He breathed hard against her cheek as he moved. The hands were gripped tightly in the others as they made love and Hatham was going to splinter.
 
“I am falling apart.” He rasped against her skin.
 
“NO.” She mewled.
 
“You will give yourself to him?” He asked in fury.
 
“Hatham no. Must stop this.” She choked out.
 
“You kissed me Ayana. You started this insanity between us. You are the one that made me want you.” He accused.
 
“Get…” She started to say.
 
“Absolutely.” He said jerking out of her.
 
She covered herself in shame and he was angry at himself. He stared ahead and he was shaking in rage.
 
“I will destroy you if you do not return my son. I care not if I have feelings for you or not.” He stated standing.
 
“That is why we hate you filthy Shouten!” She screamed.
 
“Filthy? You were just moaning for a dirty Shouten whore.” Hatham said slapping her.
 
Ayana's eyes were red and she jumped him. She was clawing at him and hissing. He threw her over his shoulder and she jerked him down. She sank her fangs into his neck and he fell against her. She actually drank his blood and he flattened himself against her completely.
 
“Your uppyr nature.” He whispered in rapture.
 
Ayana's eyes were shut against his intoxicating blood. She jerked one hand free and she shifted herself under him. Hatham whined as she rubbed her groin against his. Her kumo self and her uppyr self were warring at the moment. She was so damn needy that she helped him back into her. She gasped and moaned as she released his throat. He understood science; he understood things about his kind that most of his kind did not know but he did not understand his response to this woman.
 
“Ayana, I have wished so many times to see you. I have wanted to say so many things.” He said hoarsely in her ear.
 
“Enemies.” She moaned as she thrust up against his hips.
 
“You do not make passionate love to your enemies woman. It has a tendency to make them crave you.” He retorted.
 
“Shut up Hatham.” She hissed.
 
His nodded as she closed her red eyes. She slipped into his mind and he could not breathe. It went without saying that majority of Shouten were telepathic, it was natural as breathing but to feel her. She had no clue what she was doing to them both and he tried to stop her invasion of his mind. Hatham shrieked out as she pulled on his memories.
 
“Stop! Ayana stop.” He gasped for breath.
 
“No. No.” She groaned as she searched for her ending.
 
Her feral mind was searching for completion and it wanted to feel his thoughts. Hatham shook so hard that she thought for a second she was harming him. He lost it and he became his soul self. Ayana screamed out over and over as he took her from within. She had started something that would doom them. Hatham finished what she started lest it fester and the resulting implosion shook them both to their very cores. Her eyes were heavy and she realized what a fool she had been.
 
“Tell him I raped you. He will believe you.” He whispered.
 
“He will hunt you down and kill you.” Ayana said staring over at him.
 
“I do not fear a corporeal spider my mate. I am far older then even he is. You cannot control your appetites because in a few centuries you will not be a spideress anymore.” He stated sitting up.
 
“What did I do?” She asked horrified.
 
“You bound us.” He said wryly.
 
“Oh Kamis in hell. I did not. How could I?” She asked stunned.
 
“Perhaps you wanted me. I have no clue what goes on in your head woman. Your emotional turmoil makes my stomach churn.” He stated standing.
 
“You bastard! I wished Hanaj had killed you.” She said furiously.
 
“I did do this Ayana, you did! You are responsible my dear. Now where is my son?” He demanded.
 
“Nowhere you can touch him. You sorry bastard.” Ayana snarled.
 
“Ayana do not do this! Do not make it like this.” Hatham snapped.
 
“Like what? Like what Hatham?” She said yelling.
 
“Woman, I love you! I love you and I want my son!” He yelled back.
 
“You cannot love me! You do not know me.” She hissed.
 
“Like hell I do not! I know you now better then you may even know yourself. Your little loss of control there bound us for eternity my dear and I do not share well.” Hatham snapped as he got right in her face.
 
“I love Chikara.” She growled.
 
“Gods know I feel that but you also feel for me.” He growled in like.
 
“I hate you.” Ayana said baring her fangs.
 
“No you do not but keep telling yourself that. I will have my son. I may let the spider live.” He threatened.
 
“Do not threaten him Hatham. Kumo can undo soul bonds.” She said cracking her knuckles.
 
“This is not just a bonding Ayana. We are bound as in our lives are bound and our souls are bound. Shouten soul binding can in effect create a new soul if you will. Two souls, one person is what it means my dear. Hanaj was displaced and it damn near drove him mad and now he has to share it with Lei Jing. I imagine he and Jing are becoming as close as the two can be.” Hatham snorted.
 
“I do not understand.” She said stupidly.
 
“The old saying we are as one, I am sure you know it. We are one dear and you did it. That means whatever succubus tendencies you have are running amuck in that spider body of yours. You my darling are turning into your mother.” He laughed.
 
Ayana stared at him as if he was a virus or something much worse and he shoved her back on the bed. He stared into her eyes and she was shattered.
 
“If you are indeed becoming a succubus uppyr then it would behoove me to learn to share you with this Chikara and you with me or you may possibly kill us both and in my case kill us both.” He smirked.
 
“You son of bitch.” She said as her chest heaved.
 
“Ayana, I just kidnapped you my dear. You are the one that gave me the most incredible pleasure of my very long life. You are the one that took me that night and you are the one that did this. How am I at fault for any of this?” He demanded.
 
“Your fucking gorgeous you bastard!” She yelled.
 
His brows furrowed and he began laughing. She blamed his looks for her inability to control her ardor. He fell to his back and laughed harder. She hit him several times and he knew he was going to fall madly in love with her. He loved her now but he knew her personality suited him perfectly. He also knew he had set himself up to betray his family. He sighed as there was no way he would betray this woman. She stared at him in shock at hearing his thoughts, he had not even realized she had heard him and he was still thinking. Ayana sat there in total shock at herself for what she had done and she sighed.
 
“Stay here.” She said standing.
 
“You need me to phase you my darling. You are Hueco Mundo.” He yawned.
 
“Okay. He is in Southern Korea but you must stay in your true form. Chikara is home and I will not have him harm you or you him.” She stated.
 
“Yes whatever.” He said rolling his eyes.
 
She dressed with haste and they phased to Korea. He phased out and she ported to her home with Chikara. He was actually out and he had left her a letter. He was in Sendai meeting with the other lords at the moment. Ayana went to the nursery and relieved the nanny and she saw the twins. They were facing the other and they were sucking their thumbs and Hatham phased in. He stared down at Yoshio and he was stunned. His son had black hair and his eyes were closed as he sucked on his little appendage.
 
“Ayana.” He breathed out.
 
“Hold on.” She said softly as she picked him up.
 
She laid him in Hatham's arms ready to jerk him back and the Shouten prince was highly affected. Yoshio's eyes opened and they stared up at his father with warm brown eyes. It hit Hatham that he did not feel any Shouten in him at all and he stared at her with narrowed eyes.
 
“He is bound. I was hoping you would not find out about him. By the way, how did you find out about him?” Ayana demanded.
 
“I have had spies watching you. They told me a few weeks ago that you went into labor but you disappeared. You showed up with one infant and then only days ago you showed up with another. I put two and two together.” He stated softly.
 
“You spied on me.” She growled.
 
“Yes well you have been most difficult and insulting.” He stated almost amused.
 
“Well you kidnapped me!” She snapped.
 
“Yes I did but I had watched you for awhile Ayana. Gods I wanted you.” He admitted.
 
She stared at him in shock and he lifted his head.
 
“I was devastated after my twin was killed and I watched your family. I admit it was low but you are so damn beautiful and your soul cries.” He stated looking away.
 
“My soul cries?” Ayana asked.
 
“Hai. You have suffered and it weeps. I was drawn to you.” He stated reaching out to cup her cheek.
 
She stared at him and he slowly kissed her. Ayana was being devastated in the gentleness of it and he slowly pulled back.
 
“I wanted your family to suffer for Neral's death but I saw you. I admit I was smitten.” He stated running his thumb over her lip.
 
“You must have been the one who suggested which of us were taken.” She said shocked.
 
“Yes. I came for you myself obviously.” Hatham said.
 
She was caught somewhere between supreme fury and adoration of this creature and he sighed. He carefully laid his son next to his sister and he looked over at her.
 
“I know this can be a powerful thing. I am sure seeing your own siblings who are twins what they suffer without theirs but I cannot tell you the void I feel. Think me an evil bastard but I do what I do for family.” He said phasing out.
 
She just stood there as if she had been sucker punched. Tears streamed down her face and she felt self hatred of momentous proportions.

Asuna was flipping through books at her Sapporo home and she was enraged at the whole information she had been given. She demanded Jouichi return to see Naraku and Ishin who both let him have it to. They were both furious that he had been away for so long. She continued to flip angrily and Chang was in the door. She looked up and he looked concerned.
 
“You are off.” He said.
 
“I am always off Changming.” She sighed.
 
“May I ask you something?” He asked.
 
“Hai please.” She said scooting over so he could sit.
 
“Why did you not come to me when you went through your heat? It was your first was it not?” He asked.
 
“I was not thinking clearly. It was unlike anything I had ever gone through.” She said softly.
 
“It is intense. I went through mine alone.” Chang admitted.
 
“Oh Kamis.” She said surprised.
 
“No matter.” He said standing.
 
“I hurt you.” Asuna stated.
 
“A little but I will get over it.” He said as he left the room.
 
She heard a knock on her door and she sighed. She went to it and she opened it. Aldwyn stepped in and she lost her temper. The Welsh Panyu inu went flying through her common room and Chang appeared shocked. Aldwyn slid straight into a book case and the whole thing tumbled down on him. He got up cursing like crazy and she glowered at him.
 
“You have nerve showing up at one of my homes!” She snarled.
 
“Well Sebastein asked that I come retrieve you love. He said that information has come to light that may interest you.” He growled.
 
“I swear I ought to pound your aristocratic ass straight into the ground you arrogant fuck.” She said in fury.
 
“Well you have moaned my name darling.” He sneered.
 
Chang began growling and Aldwyn smirked. Asuna lost her temper and jumped on him. She punched him in the jaw several times and he was defending himself. Chang was fixing to get into it as well until she barked to step back. Aldwyn ported them both and she was shocked. He had been unable to do so before. He shoved her away and stared at her with his green eyes.
 
“Do you know why I am so angry at you love? Do you have any clue why?” He yelled.
 
“I could not care less Aldwyn. All I know is that you fed upon me several times as a way to pay me back.” Asuna sneered.
 
“You were the first demon or canine woman I had ever known. You and I carried on an informal relationship for years and you just left me. You knew I was in love with you. You knew I wanted you desperately. You left completely after the miscarriage.” He said blinking back his pain.
 
“Shut up Aldwyn. It is ancient history.” She said staring ahead.
 
“You clammed up after it happened. Asuna look at me!” He shouted.
 
She turned her head and she stared at him. He was bringing up things she had buried and she did not want to think about it.
 
“It is over Aldwyn. I have enough turmoil in my life. I could not handle your feelings. You were devastated and disappointed. You had the gall to accuse me of killing my own pup to save face with Eyal. You thought that…leave me alone Aldwyn!” She snarled.
 
“I am sorry. I never got to say I was sorry Asuna and then you died. I could not say how sorry I was.” He said suddenly gathering her in his arms.
 
“Aldwyn stop. I do not…” She growled when he covered her mouth with his.
 
She groaned loudly as their tongues tasted and he communicated his anger and anguish. He slowly pulled back and she saw a single tear slip out of his eye. Asuna pushed him back and she walked away. Her heart clenched painfully and she ported to Sebastein. He was laid out on his couch and he looked over at her with a sexy smirk.
 
“What do you want?” She demanded.
 
“I thought you should know that I have been receiving reports that Danika is alive.” He stated staring at her.
 
“Alive?” Asuna said dumbly.
 
“Oui. Imagine my surprise to know my second cousin is in fact still alive.” He smiled.
 
She suddenly had her hand around his throat and she was squeezing the air right out of him. She gasped as she fell to her knees as pain erupted all over her. She fought through it and Sebastein looked downright captivating at the moment. They were trying to take the other down with their abilities and their hands as well.
 
“You are related to me?” She screamed.
 
“Distantly my dear but then you knew that. God you are so damn powerful. I can train you to beat her. I can train you to destroy her forever.” He said pinning her down.
 
“Why do you hate her Sebastein?” She asked snapping her fangs at him.
 
“Backstabbing whore that she is.” He said in a hateful whisper.
 
“I thought that was what your kind did.” She sneered.
 
“Not from my wife.” He said gnashing his teeth.
 
Asuna sputtered and she stared at him in shock at his words. He sat back and fury hit her like a ton of bricks. She was jerked around by Sebastein and she was ready to kill him.
 
“How did she survive?” Asuna snarled.
 
“Probably all your little trips to the past my dear. Something you did changed ever so subtly and she survived your wrath. I surmise here as I am not sure. What I am sure is that your son is her creature and she will have control over him.” He stated seriously.
 
“Oh Kamis. She made Shinobu?” Asuna rocked to her core.
 
“Oui. She also seems to be playing with the Shouten. My ex-wife really hates you my darling dear.” He stated flatly.
 
“She hates me why??” She said shaking and her yoki flared around her.
 
“Pull your power in my dear before you destroy my home.” He said calmly.
 
“She is my mother's mother. She violated me! She harmed me!” She screamed as her yoki continued to swell.
 
“You are in danger of expelling all of your energies stupid woman.” He growled.
 
She was trying to control her anger but she turned her eyes to Sebastein, they were blazing and her features were rough. He was fascinated at the struggle to maintain her form. She snarled loudly and she flung her arm out. Sebastein ducked for cover as the expulsion of yoki was incredible. His chateau was destroyed and the greenish energy swirled violently around her still. She stared at him and he knew she was a lethal killing machine. A small smile spread on his lips and he knew without a doubt that this woman would bring his kind back from the brink of extinction. He knew without a doubt that the young ones would be brought to heel and all would be untied again. The bitch queen would die and he would have his throne returned.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lei felt her and he felt her rage. He phased in right beside her and the energies around her were intense. He managed to grab her and he stared at the incubus on the floor. He phased with her out and they appeared in Southern Mongolia.
 
“Asuna! Pull yourself back my love. You are expelling too much yoki.” He said in a strained tone.
 
“Lei!” She snarled.
 
“I am here.” He said trying to withstand her raw energy.
 
She grabbed his hand and he yelled. She used him and she expelled another huge surge. It came out as a nami and the ensuing explosion decimated the forest. Lei was stunned and he stared at his burned hand. She sagged and he caught her.
 
“What brought this on beloved?” He asked softly.
 
“Danika is alive! That fucking bitch is still alive!” She screamed in rage.
 
“Try and calm yourself. I know easier said then done but you have a puppy and Naraku's babe to think about.” He said trying to lighten the mood.
 
Her mind grasped the word puppy and she barked in laughter. He smiled and he knelt with her. He kissed the back of her neck to calm her.
 
“Take me.” She said.
 
“Not here. I want to take my wife in our bed.” He said softly kissing her juncture.
 
“Hai.” She nodded.
 
He phased them to the British mansion and they fell back on the bed. She undid his hair and his black hair fell around them. Lei slipped down her dress and he looked down at her body.
 
“I love you.” He said whispering.
 
“I love you too Lei.” She said leaning up enough to take his lips.
 
It was soft and he pulled back a little.
 
“Will you take my surname?” He asked.
 
“Take the Jing name?” She asked stunned.
 
“Yes.” He asked.
 
“Hai. I will take it but I will hyphenate it if it is okay with you.” She stated palming his cheek.
 
“Orlovich-Jing or Jing-Orlovich?” He asked amused.
 
“I will be Lady Asuna Orlovich-Jing.” She whispered against his lips.
 
His heart was hammering and he kissed her passionately. Their lovemaking was consuming to them both and Hanaj hissed in both of their minds. Lei made sure to make her scream in multiple releases and when they were both sated the tr'Awnhi prince stood in the doorway.
 
“You fiend. I swear you delight in torturing me.” He whispered.
 
“Yes well it is fun really. Need her or me perhaps?” He asked smirking.
 
“I told you Lei, I like you but not like like you.” Hanaj growled.
 
“Well maybe someday. I need to hunt and you need to relieve yourself with our lovely mate. So very lovely is she not?” He said staring down at her exposed back.
 
“Yes. Gods I was smitten the second she threw me.” Hanaj said leaning against the door.
 
“I hated her for so long. I wanted her to suffer so many times and now I wish I could take it back. I wish I could take back the harm I have done her. I wish I force Renshou to stop his insanity that he ends up committing.” He sighed.
 
“I know.” Hanaj sighed.
 
“Well I am starved.” Lei said as he phased on his clothes for modesty's sake.
 
Lei stood and he stared down at his wife. They had told no one and he was so giddy that she was going to take his name. His eyes shut and he suppressed his smile. He adored Hanaj now but this was something that was separate and his. He phased out and he went looking for some corporeal blood. He felt something off almost immediately and he knew he was being tracked. He was in his true form and only another Shouten, succubus, or incubus could see him. He phased in and he saw a very pale haired blond woman with pale green eyes. She smirked at him and he was leery immediately.
 
“Hello wraith. I am looking for someone and perhaps you may help me.” She purred.
 
“Why would I help the likes of you?” He demanded.
 
“You will fuck one of my kind but you will not help my kind? You fuck my great niece wraith. I am Ileska Novak and it seems you need manners.” She said nearing him.
 
Lei jumped back but she was behind him immediately. He phased his hand trying to strike her but she caught the nearly translucent hand and crushed his fingers. He shouted out and she smirked.
 
“Danika felt her power. Such incredible power you know. She will not have it. She will not have one stronger then her. She has drowned her own children before. She tried to drown that little cunt Augusta but oh well. You will prove quite tasty. Are you bound to her? I hope you are because she is going to feel it. You know I have had her. Nveid let us take her and ravish her several times. You wraiths can be so much fun.” Ileska said in his ear.
 
Fury erupted in him and he suddenly understood her hatred of what Bai did. She had suffered similarly and he elbowed her. He struck her with his ash shoki and she snarled in pain. She caused such horrendous pain to erupt all over that he shrieked. He was managing to block his bond to Asuna for the moment but it would not last long. Ileska was on him and she crushed his jaw in her elegant hand.
 
“Open to her wraith! Do it now!” She said grabbing his male parts.
 
He choked and fought back. Jings were strong but these uppyr were terrifying to any living creature. His eyes went opaque to avoid her gaze and she snapped his fingers.
 
“I see I shall have to do this the hard way.” She said opening her mouth wide and she sank her fangs into his chest.
 
At first the pain was so intense he thought death preferable. It felt like he was burning and he shrieked in agony as she fed from him. Whatever hold out he had was gone and he knew through his pain that Asuna and Hanaj both felt it. His body twisted in agony as she made it worse. He was screaming himself hoarse and suddenly Ileska was ripped from him. The pain continued and he saw his sire and Yhea standing near. Ileska hissed and snarled at them both as they circled her.
 
“You cannot handle two of us whore. Leave!” Shan Lao said as he stared at her boldly.
 
“I have had his blood Shouten. You think I will leave him alone? My niece suffers as we speak. She had to send you.” She laughed.
 
Yhea appeared behind her and tried to phase into her but she threw him with tremendous force. Shan Lao pulled his sword whilst Yhea kept her busy and he shoved his blade deep. He had laced the blade with his blood and she screamed as the cold toxin spread. She ported out and her hold on Lei was broken for the moment. Yhea knelt near his elder brother and he stared at Shan Lao.
 
“Good Gods.” He said horrified.
 
“It seems Raganos has allied himself with the Shouten's most dangerous enemy.” He said gravely.
 
“He has allied himself with succubus?” Yhea asked stunned.
 
“Yes. Bring him Yhea. He needs healing.” Shan Lao commanded softly.
 
His youngest nodded and they phased back to Britain. Asuna and Hanaj both were in the infirmary passed out. However distantly it seemed Raganos had struck.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Augusta was reading the most current news in the youkai world on the internet while Sesshomaru slept next to her. She felt something odd and she looked over at her mate. He still slumbered on and she set aside her laptop. She stood up and slipped on a nightgown. She padded down the hall of the palace and she sensed something so distant that she questioned her senses.
 
“You ungrateful little bitch.” Danika said from the shadows.
 
Augusta stiffened and turned to see the women she had not seen in many, many centuries. Mother stared at daughter in hatred.
 
“Stasio begged me to let you live. I hated you. I hated you and that brat brother but to appease that sloppy bastard I let you live.” Danika said spitting.
 
“You live?” Augusta said shocked.
 
“Da little girl I live. I live and I will do to you what I should have done when I birthed you sorry, worthless self.” She said as her eyes bled red.
 
“Oh Mother God will strike you down someday for evil ways!” Augusta said coldly.
 
“Really? So says you? Let me ask you Elizaveta, love this dog do you? How much do you love this dog?” Danika asked smirking cruelly.
 
“Mother do not involve him!” She said ready to move.
 
“Ah but you see it has already begun! Let us see who ports faster dear daughter.” Danika said smirking.
 
Augusta panicked as her mother blocked her and Danika was gone. Augusta ran and shouted to the guards. She flew into her chambers and Danika was leaning over Sesshomaru. The Western Lady became a snarling mess and pulled her mother off and Sesshomaru woke instantly. He was shocked to see the two onna in his bedroom and they were both snarling badly.
 
“Delightful blood you have dog. Now I see why she stays to feast. Does she have you trained well? Do you beg for treats?” Danika asked smirking.
 
Augusta lost her head and threw her mother hard with her mind. Danika laughed and she was suddenly behind her. She grabbed her ebony head and damn near broke her neck. Augusta caused her mother to flare up which Danika immediately put down with will alone. Both onna actually came off the ground and Sesshomaru was too stunned to say anything. Augusta used her Shouten shoki that she had gotten from Raganos and she struck Danika over and over. The blond succubus threw Augusta against a wall so hard that she went through it. Sesshomaru tried to rise and a blood vessel erupted in his eye. He growled out and Danika snarled.
 
“Stay put boy. Good boy. This is between my ungrateful brat and me.” She said snarling furiously.
 
Augusta crawled through the debris and she used her telekinesis to start throwing things with her mind.
 
“You are no match for me Elizaveta. You are nothing in comparison. Now your whore daughter on the other hand. I will kill her and I will strip every bit of power she has! I will decimate her and display her entrails from one end of this earth to the other. I will have you know dog that I took that little cunt and I raped her body and mind. I will destroy her and you Elizaveta. No one will be stronger than I am.” Danika said in demented hatred.
 
The blond succubus moved forward and shoved claws straight through her daughter. Augusta choked up blood and Sesshomaru went wild. He grabbed Danika's hair and she caused his heart to constrict painfully in his chest. He fell to the floor and Danika brought her daughter's face close to her own.
 
“He still wants you. What for I have no idea but he fancies himself in love with you. I told him what a waste of time you are but he heart bleeds for you. Now yours shall bleed too.” Danika said with evil disdain.
 
“God will punish you Mother. God will wipe you out.” Augusta whispered as she bled out.
 
“Please. There is no God only those of us strong enough to seize power. Please die this time.” Danika stated as she shoved her away.
 
“Just so you know. There lies a dead baby in a cradle in yonder. Cannot have another Asuna running around.” She said stepping on Augusta's arm, crushing it.
 
Sesshomaru was barely conscious and he snarled out. Augusta was blinded by tears as her mother ported away. Everything had happened in the matters of a couple of minutes and she was sobbing. She knew her mother and she would target her whole brood.
 
“Sesshomaru!” Augusta screamed in agony.
 
“Mate.” He rasped.
 
“Death sleep. I need sleep.” She said reaching for him.
 
Inu soldiers led by Yuudai and Yuzuna ran and she screamed. Yuudai began shouting orders and Yuzuna fell next to her obbasan.
 
“Obbasan?” She asked crying.
 
“Blood Zuna please. Help me.” She said shaking from shock.
 
Yuzuna gave her grandmere her wrist and Augusta weakly bit in. She drank very little and it looked like she fell away dead. Yuzuna screamed and Osamu came upon the scene.
 
“No Zuna it is okay. She is in a death sleep.” He said listening to her heart.
 
“What the hell happened?” Yuudai asked as he held up Lord Sesshomaru who was unconscious.
 
A guard came out from the nursery and he promptly threw up. Yuzuna stood up and she walked slowly into the nursery and she screamed. Yuudai and Osamu came in and the newest daughter was lying in a pool of blood having been torn open.
 
“Oh Kamis. Oh Kamis.” Yuzuna said leaning over puking up her guts.
 
Osamu stared at the body of his baby sister and he was sickened beyond anything. He heard his father calling and he slowly moved to his side.
 
“My lord?” He asked in quiet shock.
 
“Your Haha?” He asked.
 
“She is in a death sleep.” Osamu replied in a horrified tone.
 
“Hai. Pup?” He asked trying to rise.
 
“Chichi do not.” His eldest son said holding him back.
 
“Osamu! Let this Sesshomaru go.” He said growling.
 
“Chichi please no.” Osamu begged.
 
Sesshomaru managed to go into the nursery and his eyes widened. He had to hold onto the door and he managed to hold back the bile.
 
“Father who did this?” Osamu managed to ask.
 
“Her mother. The succubus Danika.” He stated with the most glacial tone he had ever heard his father make.
 
“We need Asuna.” Yuudai said flatly.
 
“Hai.” Yuzuna said shaking.
 
“Yuzuna get Nanami here.” Sesshomaru said walking very slowly to the cradle.
 
Yuzuna ported and Osamu watched his great father pick up the dead pup and hold her body to his chest. He growled as if trying to calm her and the great inu lord just stood there holding the tiny girl's dead body. Osamu cried openly and the scene was the most grizzly he had ever seen.

Mizuki was in Britain and she was stunned to her core. She found her mother unconscious and Jao was finally able to rouse her. Her mother blinked and she sat up.
 
“Mother, you need to come home to the West.” She said softly.
 
“Mizuki what is wrong?” She asked concerned.
 
“Obbasan is in a death sleep and jii-chan was hurt as well. He is much better already but Noa is dead.” Mizuki said softly.
 
“What happened Mizuki?” Asuna said rising.
 
“Jii-chan said it was Danika.” She said horrified.
 
Asuna ported and she appeared in her sire's chambers. He was still holding Noa's body and she knew his pain. She neared him and he stared at her with vacant eyes.
 
“Your mother sleeps.” He stated dully.
 
“I know father. Chichi let me take Noa.” She said softly.
 
“Kaito or Hikari?” He looked at her without emotion.
 
“I know not Chichi but I will ask them. Please give her to me Father.” Asuna said gently.
 
He allowed his eldest pup to take his baby who looked just like her and she carried her sister silently to Yasu. He could prepare her for burial and Asuna felt her heart tear apart. Her sire was not crying but he was feeling horrendous pain. Asuna laid the lifeless toddler in Yasu's arms and he nodded with a heavy heart. Asuna walked back to her father and he was fingering Bakusaiga.
 
“Father I will speak with Kaito directly but Danika is someone I will have to face.” Asuna stated.
 
“You get her and I get the wraith king.” He said turning red eyes to her.
 
“I am sorry. She somehow got to me through Lei Jing.” She said softly.
 
“She is evil.” He growled suddenly throwing his side table from him.
 
Asuna went to him and he hugged her tightly. He now knew why his mate suppressed her tendencies so much and he was suppressing his own savage hatred. Thoughts of his baby being cremated made his gut stir and his stomach clench painfully. Blood poured from his palms and he was furious and he was having a time holding it in. Asuna just held onto him and made plans to visit Sebastein very soon.

She stood in the cemetery and she was so incredibly furious. He walked amongst the grave stones and he was dressed in a grey silk suit. It suited him and she was ready to kill him.
 
“But if you kill me then you loose a good ally oui?” He asked running a finger along a mausoleum.
 
“She killed my baby sister and Ileska tried to kill Lei.” She said in hatred.
 
“Of course she did. She is making her move. She hates those who thwart her and you barely knew her and you thwarted her. You thwarted her from your grave as Akana. She was bound to hate you.” He stated.
 
“Why not share this a little sooner Sebastein?” Asuna growled.
 
“Because I have my own motives in all this Asuna. I was a king and Danika was my queen.” He said narrowing his eyes.
 
“You use me to get back at her?” She demanded.
 
“Why not?” He growled.
 
“I am not yours to be used as a tool incubus.” Asuna said nearing him.
 
“You fool. My revenge is your revenge.” He snorted.
 
She grabbed his jaw and he stared at her. They both stared at the other and he was filled with such hatred for his ex-wife.
 
“What do want me to do Sebastein?” She asked.
 
“I want to become your teacher. I want to train you in all of your succubus abilities. You have other powers I know but what I saw at my now ruined chateau will destroy Danika from this earth forever. She will not be able to stop you.” He said with a satisfied grin.
 
“You want something else.” Asuna growled.
 
“That is enough for now my dear I assure you. Getting revenge will be most sweet oui. I will see her destroyed once and for all.” He said leaning against the stone.
 
“You indicated that the female of the species was stronger.” She said watching him.
 
“Oui. My powers may be weaker then hers but I am smart and I am a survivor.” He stated staring deeply into her golden brown eyes.
 
“Where do I train?” She demanded.
 
“In the past, away from her. Away from your wraiths so she cannot use them to kill you.” He stated watching her mouth.
 
“You need to feed.” She said.
 
“Oui.” He said tracing her bottom lip with his thumb.
 
“What do you want Sebastein?” She growled in demand.
 
“This moment I need to eat.” He stated trying to kiss her.
 
“You think I will let you?” Asuna asked in an angry whisper.
 
“PLEASE!” He snapped.
 
She took his arm and she ported them to Tokyo. Sebastein wanted all of her but figured he might get lucky enough to get her blood. She turned her jaw to the side and he lowered his lips and he sank his fangs around her jugular. She damn neared swooned as he fed from her and it took everything in her not to beg him to just screw her senseless. He was moaning loudly and finally he pulled himself back.
 
“God. Oui. Okay.” He said stepping back.
 
“What era do I go to?” Asuna demanded.
 
“In Roman times I am in Southern France. Seek me out. I will know what you are. Tell me you are there to train and you wish to defeat Danika. I promise you I will help you.” He stated.
 
“Fine.” She said throwing her silver hair over her shoulder.
 
She ported out and she found Juria who looked grieved horribly. Asuna took her hands and she hugged her Tengu.
 
“Find Kaito or Hikari and see if they can restore Noa.” Asuna asked.
 
“Hai. I am sending you back to familiar territory.” She said brushing her hair back.
 
“Thank you.” She nodded.
 
Juria threw a crystal and Asuna sighed. She would go into Rome itself first and she would reacquaint herself with Trajan. She appeared near his villa and she sighed. She lifted her head and she went to the lavish home of the famed Roman general. She knocked on the gate and a servant recognized her. She bowed and she followed the slave woman. She was lead into the triniculum where he was eating with other officers and he was laughing with his men. Her eyes narrowed as she watched him and he looked up shocked. Her mouth was agape when she realized what she should have.
 
“Lady Asuna?” He asked shocked.
 
“General.” She said in Latin.
 
“What is wrong? Why are you here?” He asked taking in her strange clothes.
 
“May I speak with you General?” She said trying to stay calm.
 
“Yes of course.” He said rising.
 
Her chest was so damn tight and that when he touched her, she jumped. He looked at her oddly and she leaned forward and stared into his eyes.
 
“Different but the same.” She said with a quaking lip.
 
“What are you talking about?” He asked smiling softly.
 
“You are older.” She said running a hand through his silvering hair.
 
“Yes well I am human Asuna.” He smiled again.
 
She pulled him to her lips and he was surprised. He lifted his hands and kissed her. It was familiar. It was incredibly familiar as she deepened it. He was so surprised that she was doing this and she was not stopping. In fact it was getting way too out of control and he tried to pull back.
 
“Asuna. I have not seen you in more then ten years.” He stated breathing hard.
 
“I know you are married.” She said not caring.
 
“Yes. Oh Gods what are you doing?” He asked widening his eyes.
 
“Seeing how you respond to my yoki.” She said breathing harder.
 
She never realized why she had not noticed before but it was apparent to her now. She was also much older and he was too. She pressed him against the wall and it was similar.
 
“Oh Kamis in hell.” She said pressed against him.
 
“What is this?” He asked shocked.
 
“You have spiritual pressure.” She said lifting his jaw.
 
“What does that mean?” Trajan asked.
 
“You. I know you.” She said closing her eyes.
 
“Of course you know me.” He chuckled.
 
She could not say anything at the moment and she shook from the knowledge of what happened to this great man. She shut her eyes and tears fell from her shut eyes and she felt as if she was Atlas and the world was upon her shoulders.
