He was confused and she was standing there with tears streaming down her face. He lifted her chin and she opened her eyes.
 
“Asuna what has you so bothered?” He asked softly.
 
“You are Consul now?” She asked.
 
“Yes but then you knew I would be correct?” Trajan asked wiping away her tears.
 
“Hai of course I knew your history.” She said in a whisper.
 
She kissed his palm and her touch was affecting him powerfully. She was not acting as if their past liaisons had been fairly casual. He had resigned himself to never seeing her again and he had been fine with it. He had married and he had children now. Her soft kisses were slowly going up his wrist and he stared at her.
 
“Asuna by the Gods not now. I cannot do this now.” He said frowning.
 
She ignored him and she kissed him again. It took him all of ten seconds to respond. He flattened her near a statue and he had senators and generals in his triniculum and he was here kissing an old lover. Asuna's hands were not stilled and she had never quite responded this way. He ripped his lips from hers and breathed heavily in her ear.
 
“My bed. Please they still talk about the show we gave the servants.” He tried to joke.
 
“Trajan.” She whispered heavily.
 
“Yes, I am right here. I am right here with a villa full of guests making love to you in my hall.” He stated tilting her head back.
 
Her eyes were full of passion and something else.
 
“There is a vote in the morning Asuna. I have to sway opinion and Gods what are you doing?” He asked clenching his powerful jaw.
 
She had slipped her hand inside of his tunic and she was touching him softly. She was stroking him and he felt her thumb brush the head of his erection. He made a shuddered groan as she spread the clear fluid over his member.
 
“You are talking too much.” She said in a husky tone.
 
“Asuna, damn it. I am going to come. I am going to come right here.” He hissed softly.
 
“Good.” She said in a deep voice.
 
It looked as if they were in deep discussion and she saw a man with harsh looking features. He stared at her and she boldly stared back.
 
“Consul are you returning?” He was asked.
 
“Yes in a few minutes. This woman is a visiting queen if you do not mind.” He said calmly.
 
The hawk faced man left and Trajan was straining terribly. She hungrily met his lips and she was still touching him. He stiffened and he groaned into her lips.
 
“I need to change my clothes.” He said in a low and lethargic tone.
 
“I can clean you.” She whispered against his cheek.
 
She slid down and his eyes closed. Asuna tongued and licked him clean as he was shaking. He mentally pulled himself back under control and she stood up.
 
“If you go to my head maid servant she will see to your clothing. Please join us for dinner. I will have some meat set aside on the rare side.” He stated with his eyes closed.
 
“Hai. I will be right back.” She said as he kissed her hand.
 
She drifted away and she quickly found the head servant who in turn dressed her in a blush colored stolla. She twisted her hair and the servant squeezed her hand.
 
“Good to see another daemon.” She whispered.
 
“Trajan knows of you?” Asuna asked surprised.
 
“No. He knows of you obviously. There my lady.” She said bowing.
 
She stood and inclined her head.
 
“What are you?” Asuna asked.
 
“I am a basilisk.” She stated.
 
Her eyes widened and the onna smiled as she drifted away. She was shocked but it made sense. She walked into the triniculum and the men looked up. She had eyes only for Trajan and he inclined his head. She saw what must have been his wife and the woman bowed her head. Asuna did the same and the hawk eyed man narrowed his beady black eyes.
 
“May I introduce Lady Asuna Orlovich? She rules lands in the very far east. I have known her for fifteen years gentlemen.” He said aloud.
 
“It is Orlovich-Jing now Trajan. I am Lady Asuna Orlovich-Jing.” She said bowing her head.
 
“Well that is one story I am sure shall entertain.” He said with wide eyes.
 
Pompeia watched interested and all the men were watching her. Asuna sat across from Trajan and took some water. Asuna listened to what was being said and she could feel Trajan's very subtle spiritual pressure. She ate and the hawk faced man was getting on her nerves.
 
“I go to Gaul in a few days.” She announced.
 
“Gaul? What is in Gaul?” He asked surprised.
 
“A distant relation of mine. It seems there is war on the horizon. You remember my old enemies?” She asked Trajan.
 
“Yes of course.” He said watching her.
 
“They are now allies.” She stated as she sipped.
 
“Wait a minute! They nearly killed you in battle. That bastard raped you did he not?” He asked suddenly furious.
 
“Marcus!” Asuna snapped.
 
“NO! You come back now and tell me that those bastards are your allies?” He said suddenly red in the face.
 
“Consul?” A senator said surprised.
 
“In private now! All of you gone!” He roared.
 
Pompeia had never seen him so angry and she helped usher the guests out. He grabbed Asuna and jerked her along. He shoved her into his private bedroom.
 
“What have you been doing? You take the name of the very creature who tried to kill you?” He asked.
 
“A lot more time has passed for me Trajan. I am five centuries now.” She stated.
 
“You are what?” He asked shocked.
 
“Hai. It was not Lei that did those things although at one point I am sure he would have. I love him and he loves me. I have given him a son and daughter.” Asuna explained.
 
“Oh you gave him a son and daughter. You love him. You are five centuries old. Good Gods.” He said throwing up his hands.
 
“Do not make me regret coming here.” She sighed.
 
“Oh I am so pissed at you yet again.” Trajan said narrowing his eyes.
 
She neared him and she realized they were a hazel color instead of the deep blue.
 
“You eyes are multicolored.” She noticed.
 
“They tend to be brighter whatever color I am wearing. Do not change the subject.” He sighed.
 
“I am tired.” She retorted.
 
“Oh you are tired.” He growled.
 
“Hai. Where do I sleep?” She asked sweetly.
 
“My bed. You will sleep in my bed.” He snapped.
 
She turned and dropped the stolla and his heart was hammering.
 
“I have a son named Justinus now.” She said looking back at him.
 
“That is quite the Latin name.” He stated surprised.
 
“Hai it is. His sire is quite Latin.” She stated continuing to look at him.
 
“And pray tell who sired this boy?” He asked almost jealously.
 
“His name is Amedeo.” She said turning to watch him.
 
“I see. So our own deities are defunct daemons as well. What is he?” Trajan asked crossing his arms.
 
“He is a basilisk.” She replied.
 
“A giant serpent. Well you certainly have changed in your old age.” He said almost bitterly.
 
“Why are you angry? You are ningen and could not handle my true youkai nature.” She replied.
 
“I know not what you say.” He snapped.
 
“I am a succubus. Makes your lamia look tame.” Asuna stated.
 
“You silly woman a succubus is a lamia.” He said shaking his head.
 
“What?” She said surprised.
 
“Yes, I take it Latin is not spoken as often?” He said raising his brows.
 
She mouthed a name that he had no idea what she said and she kissed him like she had earlier. She undid his toga and tunic with ease and she laid him on the bed.
 
“So you are lamia?” He asked as she ran her hand along his washboard belly.
 
“Hai. How do you have spiritual pressure Marcus?” She demanded.
 
“What is that? How am I supposed to know?” He shrugged.
 
“It is hard to explain. You are an excellent swordsman and you have excellent tactics.” She considered.
 
“You are confusing the hell out of me woman.” Trajan sighed.
 
“May I ask a question off topic?” She asked.
 
“Yes.” He sighed again.
 
“Since you have been married, have you strayed?” She asked.
 
“I am not pious but I am not casual in my relationships either. I normally do not keep a lover if that is what you mean. I mean for all intents and purposes, I am a soldier.” He shrugged.
 
She stared at him and he felt like meat all of a sudden. She pressed him back and her hands were splayed on his chest.
 
“I am a simple man Asuna.” He whispered.
 
“Far from it Marcus. You are not ordinary at all.” She stated as she slid down him.
 
“Why Gaul?” He asked sighing in pleasure.
 
“Sebastein. He is an incubus and he will help me defeat my grandmere.” She said rolling her hips.
 
His head rolled to the side and he groaned loudly.
 
“Only mortal. Remember please.” He said gasping as she continued to roll her hips and she met his thrusts.
 
She stopped and she leaned forward and kissed him. He sat up and kissed her in return. Plain and simple passion was what he liked. His mind went to pleasing her and he began to lightly bite along her jaw and throat. She made soft growls as he kept up his assault.
 
“I know now. Kamis I know.” She groaned as he continued tasting her skin.
 
He rolled them and he moved with a powerful need. She was groaning and trying desperately not to harm him but her claws dug in. He groaned in pain but he still moved harder. He met her eyes and they were red. She was gasping and she felt his latent abilities and they were meshing. He felt the odd sensation creep along his skin and it was overpowering him. She screamed out as he slammed into her one last time. He felt fangs on his skin and he knew she had held her self back from taking in his blood. Her head fell back and he was stunned at the connection he felt with her.
 
“What is this? What do you know?” He demanded.
 
“Nothing. Sleep Trajan.” She yawned.
 
He fell beside her and he sighed. He had to be up for the senate meeting in the morning and he was here having all forms of pleasure. Asuna got a sly smile on her face and she sat up.
 
“Perhaps a bath in your delightful pool?” She asked.
 
“I said I am not pious but I do not parade a partner through my home.” He said watching her.
 
“Come Marcus.” She said pulling him up.
 
“But I need to sleep.” He whined.
 
“Oh hush.” She said suddenly porting them.
 
They appeared in the bath and he sighed yet again.
 
“You are a sour puss. Now hop in.” She smiled.
 
“As you command.” He stated.
 
She joined him and she washed his skin slowly. He realized that she had no intentions of letting him sleep and the next thing he knew he was against a lounge and the consul of the Roman Empire cried out in euphoria.

Trajan was exhausted. He was sitting in the Senate chambers and he could barely think and his mind was wandering. He had never made love so many times in one night and she could not withstand the need to bite him. She had bitten him in an artery near his groin and he had climaxed instantly. Plinnius was staring at him and it was irritating him.
 
“You have something to say Senator?” He asked the hawk faced politician.
 
“Wondering what this foreign ruler has to do with your motives Consul.” He said smirking.
 
“Not a thing! She has been a long acquaintance of mine for a long time.” Trajan snapped.
 
“Some say she has been your lover. Would not want a repeat of Caesar would we?” Plinnius stated.
 
“How do you equate my friendship with a foreign ruler as Caesar and Cleopatra you idiot?” Trajan demanded.
 
“Just that these wars along the Rhine are costing much.” He said snidely.
 
“These are the emperor's wishes and not my own.” He said narrowing his eyes.
 
A servant came in and he bowed low before Trajan. He took the scroll and his eyes widened. He looked at the Senate and waved the servant away.
 
“We are adjourned for the day.” He stated.
 
“What is it Consul?” Another Senator stated.
 
“No matter.” He said leaving in a flourish.
 
He found her in a nearby basicilla and their lips met passionately. Something was different in their relationship and he could not place his finger on it but she was more expressive and she was making him act reckless. He forced his lips away and she growled.
 
“What is it you do not say?” He said gasping as she touched him.
 
“Does it matter?” She purred.
 
“Asuna we were casual lovers. You enjoyed me and I adored you. It worked well. This is not enjoyment, this is all consuming and I am acting a fool.” He stated in a harsh tone.
 
“Do not push me away!” She snapped.
 
“We are bound to hurt ourselves. You take your time because you have time correct?” Trajan said as she jerked away.
 
“You have grown bitter in your old age! I offered you immortality.” Asuna snapped.
 
“I also told you I did not want it. I am a soldier first and a politician.” He sighed shrugging.
 
“You are not just a simple soldier or a simple politician. You have spiritual pressure Marcus! You will end up a powerful shinigami one day.” She said growling.
 
“What the hell is a shinigami?” He asked.
 
“Nothing. I have said too much.” She sighed.
 
“Why come here Asuna? I was content with my memories and I have my purpose in life. I will die having served my people.” He snapped.
 
“Because I know you in the future!” She snarled at him.
 
He looked stunned and he looked at her. She looked away and she moved forward. She was staring over at Rome and he walked behind her.
 
“How do you know me?” He asked in a shocked tone.
 
“You do not even know. You do not know who you were. It is supposed to be that way for ningen. The powerful ones, the special ones will go on to become shinigami, protectors of other souls if you will. Your coloring is a little different but you are reborn in Soul Society and you have a life there. You are great once again; powerful, beautiful, fierce, loyal, and kind is what you are.” She stated without looking at him.
 
“Soul Society?” He asked confused.
 
“Hai. It is where all souls go. Youkai and ningen souls are not alike but all go there. You are magnificent and our powers compliment the other.” She stated looking at him.
 
“Powers? What powers Asuna? I am human.” Trajan stated flatly.
 
“You will become shinigami. Your zanpakuto is a wind type and my yoki is wind and air.” She said meeting his eyes.
 
“Are you saying that we were supposed to meet?” He asked surprised.
 
“Hai.” She nodded.
 
“I do not remember any of this?” He asked her in bewilderment.
 
“No. You are not supposed to. You are not supposed to let the past hinder your duties in the present.” Asuna sighed.
 
“Yet I know you.” He stated.
 
“Hai. You cook for me.” She laughed.
 
“I cook?” He laughed.
 
“Hai you cook. Very well I might add. You are powerful and your men love you.” She stated palming his cheek.
 
“This spiritual pressure, what is it?” Trajan demanded.
 
“You will eventually learn how to control it. You will be able to draw on your reiastu to produce devastating attacks. You and I meet, our powers produce stalemates. I cannot beat you and you cannot beat me.” Asuna explained.
 
“What happens between us?” He asked.
 
“Much like now.” She said softly.
 
“You exhaust me?” He smiled down at her.
 
“Well I suppose. We talk everyday.” She said laying her head on his chest.
 
“Everyday? How do we manage?” He asked laughing.
 
“Technology. I do not like that senator. Something about him.” She said.
 
“He is like many other rich and powerful patricians. Will you tell me of our sex god Amedeo?” He asked lightly.
 
“He was rex at one time. I am sure if you all dug deep enough then you would find his palaces. He is a black basilisk but he has red streaks in his hair. His eyes are red and he is more than five thousand years old. Amedeo's family was wiped out when he took the wife of a wyvern. Her name was…”
 
“Valentina.” He whispered in her ear.
 
“You know the story?” She asked.
 
“Yes. His story is well known. I thought it ancient myth but apparently it was an ancient telling of our daemon ancestors. It is said he sleeps deeply and one day he will rise again to avenge his beautiful wife whom he deified.” He stated.
 
“Well he was sleeping in Japan.” She laughed.
 
“Amazing. I wish I could see him.” He said in awe.
 
“I know where he slumbers. Should you like to see him?” She asked.
 
“Truly?” Trajan asked.
 
She nodded and he considered. He nodded enthusiastically and he took her hand. She ported them to his villa and they packed some clothes.
 
“He has only been sleeping since Sulla. He is in his humanoid form.” She explained.
 
He nodded and she ported them to Miyako. They appeared at the cave and they walked down. She felt his aura and her heart beat faster. Trajan followed and watched his footing and it took them hours to reach him. When they reached the sleeping serpent she cautioned him. She neared Amedeo and he was asleep deeply. Trajan gasped a little and he looked at her.
 
“Beautiful is he not?” She asked.
 
“Yes! His statues do not do him justice.” He agreed.
 
“That skin is still here.” She said rising.
 
“That thing?” He asked pointing at the molted skin.
 
“Hai. He said he did not know who it was.” She said considering.
 
She heard something and she grew alarmed. She threw Trajan with her mind and he slid backwards. Konkisaiga appeared and there was another serpent that appeared in the cavern.
 
“Who are you?” It asked.
 
“I should ask you the same question!” She growled.
 
“Intruders!” It hissed.
 
It was some manner of large snake and it began striking at Asuna and she defended herself. Trajan stayed back as he watched her fight a monster.
 
“Who are you?” She snarled.
 
“The king sent me to find him. You interfere.” It lisped.
 
“Drostan?” She demanded.
 
Its eyes widened and she suddenly stabbed it through its heart and it screamed. The serpent had been sent from a future era and she figured she knew which one. She checked Amedeo and he was fine at the moment. Trajan came out and she was rifling through Amedeo's things.
 
“Should you be doing that?” He asked.
 
“Hai. I am married to him according to his traditions. I also bore him a son. I think I can go through his things.” She stated.
 
“Asuna.” He stated trying to get her attention.
 
“What? He was close and he was looking for something or waiting for someone. Why let him live?” She asked Trajan.
 
“ASUNA!” He snapped.
 
She looked at Amedeo and he was laying there blinking. Her mouth dropped open and she cursed. She contemplated knocking him back out and she knelt by him.
 
“Can you go back to sleep?” She asked softly.
 
“No.” He said beginning to shake.
 
“Too soon Amedeo. Sleep.” She said softly.
 
“Who are you femmina?” He asked trying to focus.
 
“A friend. Please try and fall back asleep. It is not your time yet rex.” She whispered.
 
“Cold. Make it cold.” He said as his teeth chattered.
 
“That is how you fall into hibernation?” She asked.
 
“Si.” He said beginning to shake violently.
 
“Shit! I need to warm him up or make him freezing cold. Trajan you are not dressed for Hokkaido.” Asuna said in irritation.
 
“I have been in the Alps Asuna. I can handle some cold. Let me help you.” He said with authority.
 
She sighed and Amedeo could barely make out what was happening. He could taste a mortal and the other was a daemon.
 
“Who?” He asked in his heavy voice.
 
“I am Marcus Trajanus.” He explained.
 
“Roman?” He asked shocked.
 
“Yes.” He nodded.
 
Asuna ported them all and they appeared in the high mountains on Hokkaido and she made a noise. She hated doing this to Amedeo but he needed to go back to sleep.
 
“Pack snow.” He said shaking terribly.
 
“I am sorry. I know this is terrible for you.” She said softly.
 
“Si. Sleep.” He said falling back into a coma like sleep.
 
Trajan was shaking and she hissed. She ported them back quickly and she ported Trajan and herself to Italy. He shook himself off and made a sound.
 
“Sorry.” She offered.
 
“So that is a sex god.” He laughed.
 
“Pretty normal huh?” She asked laughing.
 
“Yes I would say so. When do you go to Gaul?” He asked sitting by her.
 
“Soon I think. I am also curious about Amedeo. I need your libraries.” She stated standing.
 
“Let us go to the forum.” He shrugged.
 
She nodded and they went on about discovering more.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna had found a diary and she was sitting in her room at Trajan's villa. She was openly weeping what she was reading. Amedeo was a gifted writer and there was much he had not shared with her. It had been too painful it seemed. She wondered if she needed to try and save Valentina. It was obvious how much he had loved her. That kind of feeling did not go away and she felt inferior to the beautiful mixed wyvern female. She did not even think Amedeo knew how much the Ancient Romans knew of him. His love letters to his wife left her rather achy and she clutched a crystal. She was putting off Danika for a little while and she left Trajan a long letter. She broke the crystal and she stepped through. She ported to Tokyo and she knocked on his door. He opened the door and he smiled widely at her. He saw her face and he pulled her in.
 
“Femmina? Who died?” He asked softly.
 
“Valentina.” She said dropping his diary into his hands.
 
He stared down at the ancient Latin and then at her. He was stupefied how she had come by these.
 
“Where did you find these?” He asked shocked.
 
“In Rome. They had them in a library dedicated to you. You were quite the god it seems. I was in the past as Sebastein the incubus requested and I ran into Trajan.” She said sitting.
 
“The mortal Emperor Trajan?” He asked surprised.
 
“Hai. I told you he was a past lover. I have to save her Amedeo. I have to save her and restore her to you.” She said wiping her eyes.
 
“Where is this coming from?” He asked confused.
 
“I am a very poor substitute for such an onna Amedeo. You belong together. She was entirely devoted to you and you were second to no one.” She said looking away.
 
“Do you question my feelings for you?” He asked.
 
“How can you feel that way when you wrote that? How can anyone love that much anymore?” Asuna demanded.
 
“I was grieving femmina. I loved her of course but how can you question my feelings for you?” He asked annoyed.
 
“I ask you because I can go back. I can stop Drostan and give you back what he stole. I know Adelphia is still alive but damn it you lost the love of your life.” She said standing.
 
“I love you as well. I get in your way, is that it si?” He asked in anger.
 
“No. I found that diary and I have been sick to my stomach.” Asuna said looking away.
 
“I have accepted my life and found another way. I have found a happy life and you ask me to leave it? You ask me to give up my son? I love Justinus so much. I loved my other children greatly but I was a rex! I am a father this time. I take care of my own child and I love it. When you are here you are my wife! You wish to remove this from my life?” He demanded.
 
“I wish to give you back the onna you loved so much.” She said crying.
 
“And take another away that I love as much. You give back but you end up taking too femmina. I would not loose Justinus for anyone, not even Valentina. My son, my son that came from this body is what I want.” He said honestly.
 
“Omnia mutantur, nihil interit.” She stated repeating words that he had written.
 
His eyes clouded in anger and he left her sitting there. Tears continued to pour down her face and he was standing on the balcony. She stepped out and he was looking over the city.
 
“How dare you use my grief as a way of justifying your dismissal of me. Say it and be done with it femmina. You are no coward and I am no fool.” He said in anger.
 
“I am not dismissing you.” She said grabbing his shoulders.
 
“Then what are you doing? What is this? Why bring up literally ancient history? I know what you did with Ishin and Akane. I do not compare you to Valentina so why should you compare yourself? Why do this now when I am happy?” He demanded.
 
“Because I thought that perhaps…I know you loved her!” She blurted out.
 
“Si. I loved her. I also love you so damn much. I love you so much that when I see Justinus, I pray to my Gods so hard and thank them for giving him to me. I thank them for my sweet boy. He can say Papa now.” He said staring at her hard.
 
Her mouth dropped open and she left him standing there. She found him in the nursery and he was waving little blocks in the air with Hana. He had become well nourished and he grinned at his twin sister.
 
“Papa? Mama?” He called grinning madly.
 
“Hello babies.” She said coming in.
 
“Haha!” Hana cried.
 
They toddled into her lap and she held them close to her. Amedeo watched and she looked up at him. The inu nanny was in the room and she was smart enough to take the twins. Amedeo jerked her up and pulled her to his room. Like it always was with her basilisk husband, it became a haze. His hands held her face as he kissed her deeply and she whimpered. Her hands went to his gray button down and he slipped off her very Roman style dress. He was suddenly aching badly and she bared his lean body to her hands.
 
“I cannot take torture femmina. I need you.” He whispered against her ear.
 
“Hai.” She whispered back.
 
She bit into her own tongue and she French kissed him again. He groaned as he sucked hard to get more. He was getting drunk off of the powerful life force. She pulled her mouth away from his and he moaned at the loss. He shivered in her arms and she licked at his neck.
 
“Please Asuna. Please no torture.” He panted softly.
 
“You want me to drink from you?” She asked.
 
“Si. SI!” He growled loudly.
 
“You want my bite badly do you not?” Asuna said huskily.
 
“Si. Do it please.” He commanded and begged at the same time.
 
She slipped her fangs in deeply and he was lost in the erotic raptures. He shook violently against her as she drank from him. His cries were getting louder and she suddenly ported them to her penthouse. She very slowly pulled back before he could climax and he threw her on her bed. She was excited by his need and he hooked her legs in his elbows. She cried out “oh” loudly as he thrust into her hard. Their natural tendencies around the other reared and the resulting combustion was shaking them both tremendously. He snarled and lisped out as her heat felt like it was burning him as they reached their culmination simultaneously. It left them both weak and without energy. He fell against her and his lids were heavy over his eyes.
 
“This is why I understand femmina. As much as I love you; as much as I need you, you are a perfect killer and you will kill me if you do not have more. You have to have it the way you do. You can have love and you can be different from those other succubus and incubus. You can have love but it has to be shared.” He said almost in a coma.
 
His words shook her to her very core. She realized the difference between her and Danika. Her grandmere never sought love. She sought power and annihilation. Asuna sought peace and love. She would always have it too much but she had it. Amedeo was snoring heavily and she was sandwiched between him and the bed. He was the kind to sleep like the dead for ten to twelve hours. He was damn near impossible to rouse after they had an intense session of love making. She shook him hard and he grunted, she tried shoving him off and he groaned in annoyance. She finally managed to get him off and he snored louder. She smiled and she felt a slightly heavy heart. Danika had somehow managed to destroy something in her. She ported herself to Fuji and mentally called on Kaito. She waited a little while and he tapped her shoulder.
 
“Can you restore Noa?” She asked softly.
 
“Hai.” He said in her ear.
 
“My sire would owe you.” She said looking at him.
 
“He would not owe me. I admire him and he should not have had to suffer that evil bitch.” He said wrapping his arms around her waist.
 
“I know who Muguruma Kensei was.” She said in a haunted whisper.
 
“How?” He asked shocked.
 
“Because I knew him as a ningen.” Asuna said laying her head on his shoulder.
 
“They do not remember their lives for a reason.” He said in her ear.
 
“I know Kaito. Can you now restore Noa?” Asuna asked.
 
“Hai. It will take me some time to recover.” He said.
 
“I know but I can come to you now.” She smiled.
 
“That you can.” He stated kissing the back of her neck.
 
She watched him phase out and she ported to the Western Palace. She heard the screaming first and she brought her baby sister to Nobu and Nanami. She could do this for her sire and her mother was still in a death sleep. She stared at Shinobu and she realized that she had a link to Danika. She beckoned her son to her and he came over. She took his hand and ported with him.
 
“I want to break her hold on you.” She said softly.
 
“How?” He asked.
 
“I take you. I drain you and I remake you.” She said flatly.
 
“Would that work?” Shinobu asked nervously.
 
“Hai. I did it to Akemi. You are my child. Not hers. You are born of my body and since she did this to you then I can break her hold on you.” Asuna said cupping his cheek.
 
“Okay.” He stated.
 
They were in her Tokyo penthouse and he looked nervous. She gently turned his jaw and bared her fangs.
 
“Haha will it feel like that?” He asked.
 
“It will be pleasant. I can control the degree of pleasure.” She said reassuring him.
 
“Please.” He whispered.
 
She nodded and she sank her fangs into his neck. Shinobu's eyes widened and he gasped. It did not hurt and it felt incredible. He hated that he felt this way. His mother calmed his mind and he was weakening under her draining him. He had always been close to her but this was throwing them into another level. His eyes were dulling.
 
-I am fixing to give you my blood. Go into a death sleep. - She commanded in thought.
 
-Hai. - He pathed in return.
 
She pulled back and he was incredibly weak. She cut her neck and Asuna held up her son. He sucked hard on the wound and he was struck with how she tasted. Asuna shook against him and cried out.
 
“Shinobu control it son!” She cried out softly.
 
-So good. You taste good! - He groaned in her mind.
 
“Thank you but control it. Slowly son. There you go.” She stated slowing her breath.
 
They had weakened each other and he slipped to his knees and he crawled a little away from her. Asuna leaned against a wall and they stared at the other.
 
“Haha.” He said reaching for her.
 
“Go deep into your mind. My blood will change you further. I am something a little different from her.” She said as her eyes grew heavy.
 
Shinobu went still and she willed his cell into her hand and she dialed Nobu. He picked up immediately and she sounded drugged.
 
“Took Shinobu. Made him ours again. Tokyo house.” She said dropping the phone and she passed out.
 
Nobu appeared not long after; mother and son were reaching for the other and their fingers touched in their sleep. His heart was touched and he picked her up first. He laid her on the bed and he picked up Shinobu and laid his son on the couch. Princess Noa was in the PICU but she would survive and Lord Sesshomaru had ventured out of the West. His heart hurt for his family as so much was going on.

Raganos was none too pleased and Danika was sitting across from him and he hated these horrid beings. She stared at him as if he was an idiot and she wished to the Gods she could kill Elizaveta but that would kill her ally.
 
“I find your reluctance to tell me what you did disheartening succubus!” He said glaring.
 
“Please. Shut up Shouten. You think I fear you?” She said making a face at him.
 
“What did you do? I know you did something to her I feel it!” He snarled.
 
“You idiot you should not have bound yourself to my stupid little bitch daughter. I punched a hole through her heart. So?” Danika asked smirking.
 
“You do realize you put my own life in peril.” He said in anger.
 
“One less Shouten would do the world good. In this day and age you should find a way of breaking such a ridiculous and ancient bond. Find it so I may kill that back stabbing little whore once and for all.” Danika said standing.
 
“Why do you hate your own blood so much?” He asked.
 
“What is a child but a burden? She did not follow my dictates and I got so tired of hearing how she displeased Stasio.” She said as if in pain.
 
“He raped his own daughter.” Raganos stated in disgust.
 
“And your family sleeps with each other? So?” She asked.
 
“I find your lack of morals a little disturbing. I will kill and murder but for a good reason. You on the other hand just seem to enjoy being a psycho.” He said in a nasty tone.
 
Danika appeared in front of him and she scented his neck. Raganos was actually a tad bit nervous and he was leery of her.
 
“Quit talking or your life is next.” She said in a threatening tone.
 
“Bitch.” He growled.
 
“Whatever. I am hungry and you Shouten have a foul taste.” She pouted.
 
“Then leave.” He snapped.
 
She smirked and waved. She ported away and he felt much better. Sanra stood in the doorway and he looked over at his aunt.
 
“This is a bad idea Raganos.” She said calmly.
 
“Perhaps but the she dog is nervous of her. She grows stronger and I am getting nervous.” He said sitting.
 
“How much do you think she knows?” Sanra said coming over and massaged his shoulders.
 
“Unknown. I know they threaten our way of life completely. I find it disgusting that Hanaj left us for them. Soren was bound to being half human but to find out Yhea was a Jing?” He said in absolute disgust.
 
“Your wife should have been tortured and to think she bedded Shan Lao.” Sanra said almost smirking.
 
“You did say Aunt Sanra that he was good in bed.” He said looking up.
 
“That he was but he was so tender. Gods it was disgusting.” She said laughing.
 
“I miss Thei. She would have kept Soren in line. I hate we lost such a powerful relative.” He said.
 
“Well if he mates the halfling's daughter then we take the babe. Do not look so pensive.” She said tilting his head back.
 
“Aunt I am not like my father.” He growled.
 
“Thei told me otherwise.” She smirked.
 
“Also know that she did that whilst I was heavily asleep.” Raganos growled.
 
“Too bad. Your father was so good at it.” She smiled kissing his cheek.
 
He watched her sit in a chair across from him and she smiled.
 
“Whatever did happen to Bai?” He asked.
 
“Eventually she took care of my problem. Maec twisted her and made her so perfect. She almost had Lei in our clutches but he turned goodie goodie.” She pouted.
 
“So the she dog did kill Bai.” He said.
 
“Hai. I am the one that faced her several times but it was Bai that she killed. It worked out well.” Sanra stated.
 
Neither of the two Shouten knew but Hatham was near and his ears were burning in rage. They were discussing the incest and murder of family members like it was a day in the park. He looked down and he was shaking. He did the unthinkable and he phased into Mongolia. He could find a Jing Clan member and they could talk to Lei and Yhea. He did not expect to see Lei himself and he had a sword to his throat.
 
“What do you want tr'Awnhi?” He asked in a hiss.
 
“I have information. I am tired. I am tired of the wars and I want peace.” He said staring hard.
 
“Why?” Lei asked coldly.
 
“Because my twin brother died because of it and if it continues I will loose the woman I love and my son.” Hatham said flatly.
 
Lei had not realized Hatham knew and he dropped the sword down. Lei took his arm and phased them to his secret palace and tr'Awnhi Shouten was shocked. He looked around it was a lesser known palace but they had not thought to look here.
 
“Not so dumb am I?” Lei retorted.
 
“No.” Hatham replied.
 
“What information do you have?” He demanded.
 
“The succubus has been in Astana all the time. Sanra is due any day now and your sister was set up.” He said flatly.
 
“Wh-what do you mean?” Lei asked shocked.
 
“I heard Sanra say herself that she impersonated Bai several times. She fought your she-dog and incited her ire.” He said.
 
“Impersonated Bai? Do you know when?” He asked shaking.
 
“She said something about my uncle having her and that would mean Sanra was here at times.” Hatham stated.
 
Lei had to hold himself up and his face was white. He saw Shan Lao and Hatham turned to see the Jing Clan leader.
 
“What did they do to my daughter?” He demanded.
 
“I am sure they set her up. I have no clue who mothered the current Manchu lord. I have no clue if it was Sanra or Bai.” Hatham said honestly.
 
Lei proceeded to walk to an alcove and begin vomiting. Shan Lao came over to him and he looked up in rage.
 
“Do these modern DNA work on our kind?” Shan Lao demanded.
 
“Yes.” He said making a face.
 
“Lei would you be willing to go see her daughter?” He asked.
 
“Y-yes.” He said shaking.
 
Shan Lao nodded and he phased out to Manchuria. Ang Chi was in his study and Akemi's head was in his lap. He was reading as she napped and he looked up to see his grand father. He narrowed his eyes and he looked at him oddly.
 
“Would you be so kind as to see your sister Nanami?” He asked softly.
 
“Why?” He demanded.
 
“I am asking because it is very important.” Shan Lao said.
 
Akemi popped up and she saw Shan Lao. She rubbed her blue eyes and she smiled at him.
 
“He will go. How are you?” She asked sweetly.
 
“I am well. You are Lady Asuna's cousin?” He asked.
 
“I AM!” She said grinning.
 
“Akemi.” Ang Chi growled softly.
 
“Oh Chi be nice.” She said standing.
 
“I will be at the hospital very soon and thank you.” Shan Lao said bowing low.
 
He phased out and Ang Chi growled very loudly at his mate.
 
“Damn it! Why do you do that?” He demanded.
 
“Because I can see his aura and it is good. You could quit being such a bitch. Go on to Yamasaki General. I have the pups.” She said yawning.
 
“Fine! Ryukotsusei is in the South at the moment and so is Daichi.” He said rising.
 
“I know where they are.” She smiled.
 
Ang Chi stood up and he ported. He walked to his sister's office and he saw Lei Jing there and he looked positively green. Nanami drew blood and she sat her eldest brother down and also drew his blood.
 
“How long?” Lei asked looking sick again.
 
“Do you need something for nausea?” She asked.
 
“Yes I do. I am going to be sick again.” He said going to a trash can and puking.
 
Ang Chi looked really bored and he winked at Nanami. She giggled at him and he held the cotton to his arm.
 
“Can I go now?” He asked.
 
“Hai sure.” She said.
 
“How long will this take?” Shan Lao asked.
 
“I can rush it in the lab. Do you mind me asking what I am looking for?” She asked him.
 
“You tell me when you find out.” He said helping Lei up.
 
Nanami gave Lei a strong dose of Phenegryn and he phased out with Shan Lao. And Chi looked almost amused and she punched his arm.
 
“Stop that.” She snapped.
 
“Because Haha likes him does not mean I have to.” He said.
 
“Yeah Yeah. Talk to you later.” She said as he ported out.
 
She was curious and she took the blood samples herself. She intended to stay until she found the out the results.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////
Nanami was staring at the results and she was just in disbelief. She was so damn shocked that she was struck dumb. She picked up the phone and she called her father. He ported over and she handed him the paper. He read the results and he was shocked too.
 
“Your Haha just woke up.” He said softly.
 
“Hai I think she needs to take that to Lei.” Nanami said.
 
“Dear Kamis this just gets more screwed up.” Nobu said softly.
 
“Hai and I thought our family was weird.” She muttered.
 
Nobu laughed and he sealed up the information. He ported back to Asuna who was downing tons of water. He handed her the results and she went to open them.
 
“No take those to Lei Jing.” He said.
 
“Okay.” She said surprised.
 
She ported over to the in between and she slipped in. She then ported to his palace and she found him sitting at a window looking out. He was silent and she came over. She handed him the letter and he looked up.
 
“Did you read this?” He asked in a hoarse tone.
 
“No. I have no idea what it is. Nobu asked me to deliver it so here I am.” She said.
 
“Okay.” He said opening it and his eyes rolled back for a second.
 
She took the letter and she read the results. It was a DNA test comparing blood samples and the two donors were related but on a sibling level. She read the names and she set it down.
 
“For some reason I am not surprised.” She whispered.
 
“I am so disgusted. I am filthy. I am so dirty.” He said shaking.
 
“No you are not.” She said lifting his chin.
 
“Hatham appeared. He appeared wanting all this to end because he loves Ayana. He wants her badly and he wants his son. He told us of a conversation that my birth mother had with Raganos and Father demanded. Gods this is so wrong!” He cried.
 
“So did Sanra trick me into killing Bai?” She asked hoarsely.
 
“Yes I think so.” He said looking away.
 
“Lei.” She said in a whisper.
 
“Asuna, Ang Chi is my brother!” He cried.
 
She closed her eyes as she held him and her veins filled with ice. She could not think clearly and she made Lei look at her. She kissed him softly and he was desperate to kiss her in return. He felt so damn dirty at the moment and he just held onto her. He was so devastated by the idea that his sister was innocent to a point that he ripped himself away. He sank to his knees and wept like a small child.
 
“Lei, I am so sorry. I wish it was different.” Asuna whispered.
 
“I bet she raped you too. I bet she was the one that ended up hurting you. That is why and this and I believed it all!” He shouted.
 
Asuna stayed stoic and the idea that Sanra was behind it all made her filled with dread. She leaned against a wall and she sighed.
 
“It is obvious that I killed Bai. I tell you that she was disturbed and very sick by the time I did kill her Lei. They must have hurt her and did those things to her too. It seems they used molestation and incest to control their family members.” She stated softly.
 
“So when do I save my sister? When do I go back and save Bai? She is not Ang Chi's mother.” He said looking at her.
 
“I will go back tonight.” She said softly.
 
“You will go?” He asked.
“Yhea is very good at the slip stream. He is better at traversing further back then you.” She said gently.
 
“Please save her. Please. I remember her being sweet once.” He stated.
 
“I will try. I make no promises but I will try to save her.” Asuna whispered.
 
Lei clutched at her and he stared up at her.
 
“This changes nothing. I love you Lei. I love you passionately and with all my heart.” She said making him look at her.
 
“The way you love Naraku.” He said honestly.
 
“Kamis hai.” She said holding him tightly.
 
They held each other tightly and Lei was devastated and felt that absolutely everything he knew had been a lie and in truth it had been.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yhea was with Asuna and she was quiet. She was sick to her stomach and she just could not tell Ang Chi that his birth mother lived still.
 
“I for once can think of nothing to say.” He mumbled.
 
“Thank the Kamis.” She muttered in return.
 
He hit her arm and they were in Kazakhstan. She was always so damn confused on the timeline but she let Yhea handle it. Shan Lao was not told what they were doing or he would have come himself. Asuna did not want to risk changing what they had already changed. Yhea looked around and they moved around and she was trying to feel Bai. She felt something and she ported with Yhea. She saw a young woman of incomparable beauty. The onna looked over at her and she looked terrified. Her large grayish-black eyes held terror and Asuna went to her.
 
“Jing Bai Gu?” She whispered.
 
“Yes.” She whispered back.
 
She realized she had never met the real Bai ever. The person she killed was not Bai Jing or Sanra. This onna looked like Shan Lao but she was delicate. Her neck was long and she had full lips. Asuna tipped her chin up and she saw the resemblance between Lei and herself.
 
“I am Asuna Orlovich-Jing.” She said softly.
 
Yhea's head twisted around and he stared at the back of Asuna's head when she said her name. Bai was shocked as she stared at the corporeal woman.
 
“Jing?” Bai whispered.
 
“Hai. I am from a distant era Bai. I am Lei's mate.” She said palming her cheek.
 
“Lei? My baby brother? Is he okay? They were going to kill him.” She said as huge tears fell from her eyes.
 
“They do not kill him. He is okay but if I do not get you out of here they will kill you. This is Yhea and he is also your brother.” She said gently.
 
She looked over at Yhea in shock and he waved sarcastically. Asuna kicked him and he was pissed off. Asuna pulled her up and she stepped back. Konkisaiga appeared and she surged a huge amount of yoki through it. She sliced through the chains like butter and Bai was shocked further.
 
“They are coming. Yhea take your sister now! Get her to our era and keep her safe.” Asuna commanded.
 
“And what are you going to do? You cannot stay here Asuna, Lei will murder me for one and two you will be tortured.” He snapped.
 
“You think they will get me? Do not argue! You still owe me.” She hissed.
 
He growled and he grabbed Bai and phased out. Asuna ported out too but she was in the forests. She would make it hard for them to be tracked whilst they escaped. She flared her yoki and she was moving away from Yhea and Bai. Shouten appeared everywhere and she allowed energies to flow fully. A Shouten with long black hair appeared and she knew instantly this was Maec. Her eyes bled red and she flung a nami from her hand. He was thrown backwards and he phased out before he hit a tree. He reappeared and he looked furious. She let loose several waves and she released her fang. A swath of destruction was made through the Shouten and Maec had to dodge her attacks. This creature was unlike anything he had ever seen. She was flinging air and wind effortlessly and her sword was releasing electrically charged energy. He suddenly appeared behind her and he phased his hand straight through her. Asuna looked down and he pulled it back fully corporealized. The damage was extensive and she managed through her tears to slash him in his middle. He choked up blood and she shoved Konkisaiga deeply into his gut. She was fixing to release her yoki when a young Raganos stunned her. She sank to the forest floor and he stared down at the corporeal female with disdain. His father was bleeding out and the female was too.
 
“Take us both back. I want her healed. No harm until I get well.” Maec commanded.
 
“Yes my lord.” Raganos said sneering.
 
They both were phased back Maec had to go into a death sleep and Asuna was thrown into a room with another prisoner. Shan Lao was shocked as hell to the see the same woman who had come to him awhile ago. She was bleeding terribly and he tried to fight the manacles. Her eyes opened and she was in pain.
 
“Shan Lao.” She breathed.
 
“Why did you come back?” He asked horrified.
 
“I will not die. Cannot die this way. Had to get Bai.” She said gasping in pain.
 
“Bai? She is supposed to be in Mongolia.” He said horrified.
 
“You are too honorable my friend and you expect others to operate the same way. These are evil beasts.” She said staring at the ceiling.
 
“What is that scent?” He asked softly.
 
“My twins I was carrying.” She said closing her eyes and tears fell.
 
“Oh Gods. Why would you stay?” He asked trying to fight the manacles.
 
“For Yhea and Bai to get away. I promised Lei.” She said breathing harder.
 
“You need blood.” He stated snarling.
 
“Hai.” She whispered.
 
“Help! Someone damn you all! Help!” He screamed.
 
A soldier peaked in and he saw the female bleeding out. There was a rumor that Prince Hanaj had fallen across the palace and was bleeding out as well. A mean looking healer came in and checked the female. He worked to save her as the king had ordered and he worked quickly.
 
“You are a friend of Jing.” The healer said meanly.
 
“Matters not bastard! Rot!” She hissed as she spit on him.
 
He backhanded her and she bit his hand. She was in a really fighting mood and she took in his blood. Shan Lao watched her begin to drain the healer and she gained strength from it. She was still weak but she sat up. She snapped the healer's neck and she moved over to Shan Lao and he shook his head no.
 
“No. Go and help Bai. Please. I beg you.” He said firmly.
 
“Shan Lao!” She snarled.
 
“Please. I will endure this. Save my daughter.” He demanded.
 
She nodded and she leaned forward and kissed him deeply and he kissed her back. She moved quickly and she ported. She was barely holding it together and she checked on Hanaj. He was unconscious and she ported out to the in between and she knew the Tomoshibi would be alive. She stepped through to get into the real world and she ported to Japan.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She was in Japan and she slid down a tree and she cried. Her stomach had reopened and she sobbed harder. She ported to Fuji and she mentally called on Kaimei or Kaito. Blood continued to pour down her front and her future enemy appeared but he was really young. He was shocked to see a corporeal call on him and he saw her face.
 
“You are an inu.” He said shocked.
 
“Kaimei please help me. I attacked Maec.” She said shutting her eyes.
 
“How do you know about the Shouten?” He demanded.
 
“Because I am mated to a Jing.” She said flatly.
 
He looked at her closely and she was pallid. He pulled her forward and his green eyes searched her face.
 
“You are not just an inu.” He said shocked.
 
“Hai. I need blood please. I am getting dizzy.” She said nuzzling his neck.
 
He gasped as he felt her fangs and she needed powerful blood. She sank her fangs deeply and began taking in his potent blood. He gripped her shoulders and he was shocked to his soul. She was a succubus he realized and she was making sure it was pleasurable and it was making him uncomfortable.
 
“Onna please not so pleasant.” He said in a groan.
 
She gurgled against his neck and began to take deeper draughts. She finally pulled back and he was shaking.
 
“You are not from here.” He said in understanding.
 
“No. You are so young.” She stated.
 
“You must come back far.” He said looking her over.
 
“Is Kaito grown?” She asked.
 
“Hai just. He is a very young man.” He stated watching her.
 
“I need a path home Kaimei. I can amplify and guide it but I have not developed the ability to open it yet.” She said softly.
 
“How old are you?” He asked.
 
“Five centuries.” She replied.
 
“Impossible! You are way too young for such a feat.” Kaimei said arrogantly.
 
“Still the same. Please just open it.” She said in a soft begging tone.
 
“Fine.” He said intrigued with her.
 
He opened a portal and his eyes widened when he realized she was channeling it. She stepped through into her own era and she ported to the hospital. She was leaning against a wall and she pathed to Nobu. He ran over to her and her clothes were stained with blood, tons of it.
 
“What the hell?” He asked shocked.
 
“Glad I said nothing.” She said in a brittle tone.
 
“Asuna! What happened?” He asked picking her up.
 
“I ran into a nasty bugger named Maec. I am passing out Nobu.” She said blacking out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Asuna was hooked up to IV antibiotics as she had a raging fever. Naraku had actually wept by her side and she looked horribly pale. Her stomach and bowel had been ripped open and those were dangerous wounds in anyone. She opened fevered eyes to Naraku and she lifted her hand to cup his cheek.
 
“I am sorry. I failed but I injured him badly as well.” She whispered in a feverish tone.
 
“Shut up! I care not and you did not fail me.” He said kissing her hand.
 
“I did not tell Sheng and I do not want him told okay?” She said blinking back tears.
 
“I will not hurt him that way.” Naraku said laying his head on her chest.
 
“Could you get me some water?” Asuna asked weakly.
 
“Hai.” He nodded.
 
She knew he was in the room and Lei phased in and Bai was beside him. She looked so young and so shy. Bai covered her mouth and Lei looked horrified.
 
“I look worse then I am Lei. Hello Bai.” Asuna said blinking.
 
“You saved me.” She said nearing her sister in law.
 
“It was nothing. Lei are the babes okay?” Asuna asked softly.
 
“Yes. You should not have stayed! What were thinking? Maec was horrendously powerful. Asuna you should not have stayed.” He said weeping over her.
 
Bai met her eyes and she was feeling horrid. Asuna laid a hand on his head and she took Bai's hand.
 
“You had suffered enough. Your family has suffered enough and she had no chance if she stayed.” She stated.
 
“Thank you for saving me.” Bai whispered.
 
“It is no matter. Lei please go home and get some rest. I am sure that this has not helped you.” She said softly.
 
“It was horrendous pain but you lost your twins. Asuna why?” Lei asked shaking.
 
“To see you happy. I want you happy finally. You deserve happiness. I need sleep my darling. Please.” She said closing her eyes.
 
Lei leaned over her and barely touched her lips with his and he whispered, ai shiteru several times and she barely nodded before she drifted off to sleep. He stepped back and he phased with his elder sister. Bai held him as he broke down and she had no clue what exactly was going on but she intended to learn quickly. She could also tell that Lei and Yhea were in love with the same woman and she foresaw issue.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It took only a few days of powerful antibiotics and she was well. She stood in Seagaia and she leaned in the doorway watching Kaito sleep. Kaisei was near and he was in awe of this woman.
 
“You really saw Kaimei?” He asked.
 
“Hai and I am thinking I need to go back and talk to him. I need to convince him that I am not his enemy. We need him. He defeated Maec did he not?” She asked.
 
“Hai he did.” He nodded.
 
“Open a portal please. Watch over Kaito and I will return.” She said in a commanding tone.
 
Kaisei did as she asked and she stepped through. She was in the corporeal world and she ported to Fuji and she focused to call on her former hated enemy. Kaimei appeared immediately and she looked at him closely. His eyes were more intense green then Kaito's and his hair a more burnished gold. He was also taller and lither. He reminded her of a fairer Hatham and she watched him pace.
 
“You are back and you are well.” He observed.
 
“Hai.” She said.
 
“Speak. You are obviously here for a reason.” Kaimei said watching her.
 
“Always to the point Tomoshibi. You and I do not like each other in the future. You hate me in fact.” Asuna said flatly.
 
“Why would I hate one like me?” He asked bluntly.
 
“Because when we meet you do not know I am like you.” She said flatly.
 
“I see. So why tell me now?” He asked.
 
“I need your help. You are powerful and we loose much because we were enemies. I do not wish to be enemies any longer Kaimei. I cannot afford to have such a powerful ally against me.” Asuna said softly.
 
His green eyes watched her carefully and his blood was boiling from the other day. He was behind her and he moved her hair as he touched her skin along her juncture.
 
“What are you doing?” She asked suddenly overwhelmed in his presence.
 
“Why are we enemies?” He demanded whispering in her ear.
 
“You think me unworthy of Kaito.” Asuna said breathing harder.
 
“Perhaps it is Kaito who is unworthy of you. Tell me what happens.” He said in a command.
 
“You condemn my daughter Hikari to death. You are angry for her actions of restoring souls and Kaito restored me as well. You and I battle and I defeat you.” She said as his warm breath tickled her neck.
 
“You have a Tomoshibi?” He asked surprised.
 
“Hai. Three actually. Hikari, Kanami and Kai.” She said hissing softly.
 
“You defeat me? You must be powerful indeed. Why would my useless little brother touch such a powerful onna?” He asked cupping her chin.
 
“You are the ruler. You rule the Tomoshibi.” She said in shock.
 
“Hai. My parents died five centuries ago. Did you think I was just a nobody?” He asked amused.
 
“Kaito has not been forthcoming.” Asuna said gulping.
 
“When we left the mainland we settled here. We are at war with the Shouten still but I am the clan leader.” He stated tracing her lip with his thumb.
 
“How many Tomoshibi are in this era?” She asked with widened eyes.
 
“Thousands.” He stated touching her hair.
 
“You said Kaito was just an adult at five centuries?” She said trying to change the subject.
 
“Hai. You should know time is different in Soul Society. You are shivering onna, are you cold?” He asked.
 
“Your nearness is unsettling.” The inu princess admitted.
 
“Unsettling? You wish for us to get along, and then perhaps you should get used to my nearness.” Kaimei said amused.
 
“Your yoki is overwhelming.” She said flatly.
 
“So is yours. Actually it is intoxicating and I swear I would love to taste you.” He said brushing his claw against her lip.
 
“I do not need another lover.” She said turning her head.
 
“You are succubus, you will always need lovers. All blood drinkers are sexual in nature to a degree onna but your kind needs it to live. I find myself intrigued to know why I would be so stupid as to make an enemy of such a powerful onna. I would also like to know how Kaito knew of you and I did not.” He said grasping her shoulders.
 
“He shielded my soul. I was born to Shihoin Juria but died young. Between Kaito and her my soul was sent back into the living plane.” She explained.
 
“You have one of our souls in a corporeal body? Damn foolish boy!” He snarled in anger.
 
“What do you mean?” She demanded.
 
“Onna you have a Tomoshibi soul. You bear Tomoshibi young and my brother is an idiot! You should be on our plane not wasting away on this forsaken wasteland. No matter though. You will return eventually.” He stated in anger.
 
“You dictate to me?” She asked getting angry.
 
He pulled her up and he held her jaw. She gasped and Kaimei did too.
 
“I do not dictate. I state fact is all. I want you.” He said breathing harder.
 
“You hated the very sight of me before.” Asuna stated confused.
 
“Kaito knew what he was doing. He was shielding your identity and I imagine I did not see your true nature shielded in this body. You were also young correct?” He asked whispering against her mouth.
 
“Hai.” She confirmed.
 
“I assumed you were an upstart then.” Kaimei smiled amused.
 
“Hai. This is madness.” She said shaking her head.
 
“I am a very arrogant man as I am sure you are aware. I resent him for doing this. I resent him for thinking he could keep you to himself.” He growled softly.
 
“I resent you for thinking you can control me Kaimei.” She snapped.
 
“I do not wish to control you onna.” He snarled.
 
She stepped back and he was furious it seemed. His arms were around her suddenly and he tipped her head back to look at him.
 
“I will give him credit that you are a gorgeous corporeal onna. What do you look like in your true form I wonder?” He asked in a breathy tone.
 
“I have the true form of a silver inu thank you.” She said trying to not be affected.
 
“No. Your true form. Kamis you must be stunning. I want you.” He stated searching her face.
 
“Kaimei let me go.” She whispered.
 
“Did my blood taste good?” He asked in a husky tone.
 
“Hai but you know it does.” She stated.
 
His lips crashed against hers and she groaned loudly. He was so damn powerful that it was staggering. Shan Lao was not even this strong and that was saying something. He actually lifted her up a little and one hand was buried in her hair and one was clutching at her silk shirt. She was loosing her mind and he phased them out. The next thing she knew there was bed of silk underneath her and he was on her still kissing her silly. She reached her hand above her head and his clasped hers as he consumed her. Kaimei was so unlike anything she had encountered that she was reeling. His lips left her mouth and he nipped her jaw as she arched towards him. He phased her clothes away and his as well and she moaned feeling his body heat. He was not stopping and she felt his lips everywhere. She twisted on the silk and Asuna felt like she was back in the fever. She felt his fangs slip into the base of her throat and she was shaking against him. She was making soft moans that were escalating and she would not have guessed he could be this way. He dragged his fangs and lips along every inch of skin he could touch and she begging. She had never felt so wanton, not once had she had felt this. He slid up her body and lifted her up a little by the back of her neck.
 
“Tell me hai. I will not take it further.” He said breathing harshly.
 
She was speechless and she was shaking. Her body was covered in a light perspiration as her body was left in want and need.
 
“Hai.” She whispered.
 
Their eyes were locked as he pressed his hips against hers. Her face crumpled into euphoria as they became one. Kaimei knew joy and he kept her looking at him.
 
“Follow my actions.” He whispered softly.
 
She nodded and released a guttural groan. She had no clue to anything else and she could only feel him. Asuna felt everything and nothing. She was blinded and overwhelmed in absolute perfection as her all was combined and left behind. She became aware and Kaimei was breathing heavily in her ear and she realized she was corporeal. Each movement he did made her cry out more and she was on her belly. He was grasping her hands tightly and his own voice had gone hoarse. She shattered into glory and he physically shook with her as he completed. He could hear her heart racing as he rested his ear against her back and his eyes were white at the moment. He had no clue why he had brought them back corporeal but it had been the most intense and beautiful encounter he had.
 
“He cannot have you.” He whispered.
 
“Wh-what?” She asked in a mere whisper.
 
“I will kill him if he ever touches you again.” He said fiercely and he kissed the back of her neck.
 
“Who?” Asuna managed to ask.
 
“Kaito. He had no right to keep you hidden away.” Kaimei said angrily.
 
“Kaimei he fathered three of my pups!” She cried softly.
 
“I will not allow it! You are corporeal for now and I have no say over your corporeal mates but I shall have a say over you wraith ones.” He stated jerking away from her.
 
“I am not a piece of property!” She growled.
 
“You kill me in your era but chances are by coming back you change it. I will kill him.” He said phasing out.
 
Her eyes were wide and she wondered what the hell had just happened. She was in Soul Society she realized and she sighed. Her body was worn out and she laid back and passed out. She was not aware that Kaimei was still close by and he was watching over her. He had to prevent his own demise and he was going to kill his brother. The fool had broken every rule that Soul Society had and he had kept a powerful Tomoshibi female from her own. He would take her back to the living plane soon but she needed rest after the powerful coupling.

Kaimei had wordlessly produced her way back and she had made it to the modern era. She crawled into her bed and passed out. She woke up when she was shaken awake by Nobu. She blinked at him and he was concerned.
 
“Huh?” She asked.
 
“You told no one you were back!” He admonished her.
 
“What? I am sorry. I was so tired.” Asuna said still out of it.
 
“Asuna you have slept for three days.” Nobu said feeling her head.
 
She blinked and Nobu frowned. She was off and he picked her up. He ported her to the hospital. Her body had been through so much and he laid her on a gurney. Shinobu came forward and she was barely awake.
 
“She went back to talk to that Tomoshibi named Kaimei.” Nobu said softly.
 
“She is too out of it. Do you think they fought or something?” Shinobu asked.
 
“Probably. She said he was an asshole.” He growled.
 
Shinobu pathed loudly to Hikari hoping she would hear and she popped in a few minutes later. Her eyes were wide seeing her mother.
 
“She went back and saw your bastard uncle. Can a Tomoshibi affect a corporeal funny?” Nobu asked.
 
“Hai. Let me take her to Soul Society. Captain Unohana is a wonder with these things.” She offered.
 
Nobu nodded and Hikari phased her mother to Soul Society. Hikari yelled out for Retsu and she came over. The Captain of Squad Four looked over Asuna carefully and her eyes were wide.
 
“Hikari, you mother is with child.” She said softly.
 
“Huh? She just lost some.” She said confused.
 
“This babe is a creature of Soul Society.” Retsu stated.
 
Hikari looked at her and her jaw dropped. Her father was sleeping from restoring the babe of her grandsire. She had only come in contact with her uncle and she left her mother with Retsu and she phased to Seagaia. She marched into her father's room and she shook him. He was sleeping deeply and she shook him harder. He opened one green eye and then another.
 
“Hikari what?” He asked sleepily.
 
“Mother faced Maec and lived. Mother also saw Kaimei and he sent her home. She went back to talk to him and now she is with child.” Hikari said bluntly.
 
Kaito sat up and he looked shocked and furious at the same time.
 
“You do not think my own brother would do you?” He asked shaking in rage.
 
“Uncle Kaimei? I am sure he is capable of anything.” She snorted.
 
Kaito phased with his eldest and Asuna was sleeping on a futon and he could feel it from where he stood. His brother had been the most powerful Tomoshibi and she was bathed in his residual aura.
 
“That bastard! That bastard!” He shouted.
 
“Kaito it is unwise of you to be here.” Retsu said softly.
 
“Can she even handle his brat?” Kaito demanded.
 
“Time will tell.” She said softly.
 
“Abort it.” He growled.
 
“Kaito!” She said shocked.
 
“I will not have his hold over her at all! Abort it Retsu.” Kaito said in hatred.
 
“She would not want that would she?” Captain Unohana asked.
 
“I do not care.” He said in a wrathful tone.
 
“Chichi, you know she would not want that.” Hikari said.
 
“He seduced her! That arrogant fuck seduced my mate.” He growled.
 
“He is still dead in this era Chichi. He is not here and she is. That babe is a Tomoshibi regardless and you its father.” Hikari stated softly.
 
Kaito clenched his fists and he hated his elder brother with his all. He nodded and he neared her. He sat next to the futon and he cut his own wrist and pressed it to her mouth. She would need the nourishment in order to carry this little one. Fury and hatred ate at him and he contemplated going back and kicking his brother's tail.

Kaimei stood in Teru's office and he looked over at the ningen kami. He was angry and he was anxious. He had pulled every favor he had and he was here. He had broken the rules but the king's son was in shock to see him. He refused to tell him why he was here but he knew she was here as well.
 
“Why is she in Soul Society?” He asked.
 
“That would be Lady Asuna's business my friend.” Teru said flatly.
 
“I am not just anyone Teruyoshi. I want to know why my brother's mate is here.” He snapped.
 
“It is said that she fell victim to a wraith. That is all I know. She and I have a contentious relationship okay?” He snapped back.
 
“Well then I shall see for myself.” Kaimei said.
 
“She killed you. You know you are supposed to be quite dead.” Teru sighed.
 
“Hai she told me and she also asked me to work with her.” The light wraith stated smoothly.
 
“That would be her.” Teru sighed.
 
He watched Kaimei phase out and he was intensely curious what had caused the Tomoshibi to break every single rule there was to be here. Kaimei appeared next to her and he hissed. He was in shock and he saw Kaito. He did not even think and he released a pulse of light that threw the youngest through the wall of the squad. Kaito watched in horror as he brother picked her up and phased right out with her.

Asuna's eyes opened and Kaimei's thumb was brushing her cheek. She mumbled and he pulled her up so she lay in his lap.
 
“Thirsty.” She said in a rasp.
 
He nodded and pressed a cup to her lips. It was sweet and she drank it greedily. He was holding her protectively and she was confused.
 
“Am I still in the past?” She asked.
 
“No. I came forward.” He said in a deep baritone.
 
“Why?” Asuna asked.
 
“I cannot allow Kaito to possess you. I cannot allow his interference.” Kaimei stated as he scented her hair.
 
“You hated me Kaimei. You called ordinary and mundane.” She breathed out softly.
 
“And what did you say to me in return?” He asked in her ear.
 
“I called you an arrogant piece of ether.” Asuna sighed.
 
She felt him shaking and she realized he was laughing. She looked up at him and he cupped her chin. He bent down and kissed her lips with devastating gentleness.
 
“It sounds as if I was. There is nothing ordinary about you. You need to know something.” He stated staring deeply in her eyes.
 
“What?” She asked dazed.
 
“You carry my child. I will not allow harm to come to you and I will see my babe born safely.” Kaimei murmured.
 
“Oh Kamis.” She said in utter shock.
 
“It was not my intention but I will not say that it is unwelcome.” He replied.
 
“What did you do to me?” Asuna demanded.
 
“I made love to you. What do corporeals call it?” He asked.
 
“You cannot control me Kaimei. I do not like being told what to do very well.” She growled softly.
 
“I do not wish to control you but I will protect my interests and those interests do not include my obnoxious little brother.” He snapped.
 
“Your interests it seems do not necessarily coincide with mine. I am sorry but I will do as I need.” She said trying to fight his hold.
 
“Do not make me kill him Asuna. I will kill him.” He said darkly.
 
Her eyes took on angry tones and she stared at his audacity. This creature was as powerful as Teruyoshi and it frankly made her nervous.
 
“I do not wish to manipulate you but I will do what is necessary to protect what is mine. You are mine.” He stated holding her.
 
“Kaimei, I had no intentions of this. You presume and I do not appreciate it. I am at war with the Shouten and I would prefer your help but I will do so without you if need be.” She stated flatly.
 
“You will not dare face another Shouten whilst you carry a Tomoshibi. Be reasonable in that at least! Maec is not to be taken lightly and his brood is insidious. Promise me that at least!” He growled softly.
 
“I cannot promise anything. I am sorry but you seduced me. Truly you are incredible and I am in awe of your power and you in general but I am not yours nor will I be. Please unhand me.” She said as calmly as she could.
 
“You think this over?” He asked in anger.
 
“I think it over. I am sorry but I love Kaito and do not threaten his life again. I killed you once and I will protect one of my mates unto death. You do not win me over by threatening those I care for. Goodbye Kaimei. I am sorry I bothered you.” She said standing.
 
She ported away from him and he was truly dumbfounded. He was truly in awe of her but he had no intentions of leaving his child and if it meant shadowing her then so be it.
