Twisted Realities

 

Sebastein was furious that he had seen Danika again and Asuna had gone up against her in the condition she was in. She was getting dressed and he was in a tirade. She was plainly ignoring him and it infuriated him all the more. He grabbed her and shoved her up against a wall and she stared at him.

 

“You told her about my girl? Why would you tell her that you were going to give me a girl?” He demanded.

 

“I wanted to see her face.” Asuna hissed.

 

“You have as much of a vindictive streak in you as she does!” He yelled.

 

“You made me care Sebastein. I could have lived my life without knowing you or any of this. You are the one that has popped in and out all of my life.” She pointed out.

 

“Because you have been blind! Your own mother denied you the truth of your own power and by the Gods you have been sheltered from your own pasts. Please my showing up was a fucking blessing.” Sebastein growled.

 

His yoki may have been a little weaker then hers but his personality was just as strong. Her eyes met his and her typical self reared its head. The next thing he knew they were in a passionate embrace tearing at clothes. Sebastein was trying to figure out when things had turned from contentious to utterly passionate between the two of them but he was trying to keep himself from feeling. Her body was melding against his and he hated what it was that was happening. He hated that he was feeling. Asuna possessed his mouth and she made him whimper as their tongues mated and she nibbled on his lips. Shudders went down his spine as the ungodly pleasures ran through him and he tried to think.

 

“Asuna?” He moaned out.

 

“Bastian stop thinking. Stop rehashing the past and allow yourself the now.” She said along his neck.

 

“Stop no more.” He said suddenly.

 

“No.” Asuna growled out fiercely.

 

He was breathing harshly and their foreheads were pressed together. They were gripping each other's upper arms tightly as he tried to calm his need to flee from emotion. Sebastein knew instantly that this was a turning point and he would loose himself if he did not leave. He had broken out in a light sweat and this had become extremely intense. He had lived so long and he had done so many meaningless things.

 

“This has to stop.” He stated with trembling lips.

 

“Because you refuse to take a chance? I am not afraid, for some reason this does not frighten me.” She whispered urgently.

 

“I will love you. I will understand as no other but I will love you.” Sebastein mouthed softly.

 

Their eyes had not changed at all but their gazes were too intense. Her head ached as did his with the strength of the moment. His breath was warm against her cheek and her eyes did flutter for a moment as tremors were wracking her.

 

“What have you done to me?” He asked heavily.

 

“No more then what you would have me do.” She retorted back.

 

He could not stand anymore and he moved her a little and pushed inside of her. His cry was soulful as he gripped her and ran his hands up and down her back. Both of them we breathing against the other's lips as they stared a moment. Asuna closed her eyes totally and they pressed their lips together as he guided her. Sebastein knew he was lost as he became deeper and deeper into the beautiful moment. He breathed through his nose and her kisses were like a forbidden sweet. She spilled a little blood and it made it headier as he slowly moved her hips. He was creating just enough friction and hitting just one spot but it was a slow progression. Their bodies rose and fell as the swell continued to surge around and in them. They were creatures of this act and in the act perfection was sought. Asuna felt such things begin to roll and ripple through her and she knew Sebastein felt it too. Their bodies were covered in a dewy film and the passionate consumption continued to engorge them both. Everything suddenly spilled over and flowed as their voices echoed throughout the townhouse. Sebastein shut his eyes as his inner world and his equilibrium were thrown off kilter. He felt himself flood her with his whole being and she was mumbling incoherently. The gush of what she called yoki had been deafening and left them both weak. Asuna was droopy in his arms and he too could barely hold himself up. He could not remember feeling such an exquisite feeling or completion before. He ported them the short distance to his bed and held her to his body. She was already gone and he noticed blood stains on his sheets. He had not even felt her claws tear into his back. He slowly passed into oblivion as something settled in his chest and he realized he would die for her.

Naraku was agitated and all knew to stay away from him when agitated. His toddler Nayu had proceeded to gleefully tear up a contract that had taken weeks to prepare. She had also spilled her juice upon his office floor and her mother was nowhere to be found at the moment. Her brother and sister were grinning their sweet little faces off at him and he could kill Ishin and Nobu at the moment. Nayu looked at her Chichi and gave him the prettiest smile she had.

 

“Uh oh!” She said pointing to his printer.

 

“Kamis in heaven little girl! I think you were sent to drive me to insanity!” He snapped.

 

“Boken.” She said smirking.

 

“You broke it!” He said exasperated.

 

“Chichi fix.” She said biting a claw.

 

“You have no shame little one!” He yelled.

 

She giggled and she ran to Noe and Naota. They all spoke inu and it drove him insane. He picked up his phone to get tech support in and he was flabbergasted that he should be stuck with all three triplets. Ishin had sworn NEVER again. The extra one was just so much more trouble. They were all feisty and Nobu's son was actually the worst of the three. He just acted so much like HER. He again heard “uh oh” and he hung his head and he was certain this was his punishment for being the former vilest villain in Japanese history.

 

“Having problems?” He heard from across the room.

 

His eyes instantly turned crimson and he was staring at Sanra tr'Awnhi. He hated this female with his whole being and she was looking at his children very curiously.

 

“I suppose they are cute for corporeal brats.” She said with disdain.

 

He was instantly in front of his three and his crimson eyes narrowed further. Tentacles erupted and Nayu squealed in delight.

 

“She likes your weird nature?” She asked almost purring.

 

“She is like me so it is not weird to her bitch.” He said in a calm tone.

 

“Are you still mad about what happened all those years ago? Poor baby.” Sanra smirked.

 

He wrapped his tentacles around each pup and he pulled them close to him. His miasma swallowed them and he appeared in Sendai. He marched them to the nursery and put Bihua in charge of their care. This onna was pure evil and she would kill his young to cause misery just because. He ported back to Korea and she was still there. He was furious with hatred and he grabbed her with the extra limb.

 

“See you are such an entrancing being you know. You shape shift which is such an odd thing for a corporeal but you have such a beautiful face. Your souls are little dank which makes you all the more desirable.” She said suddenly touching him.

 

“You will regret ever knowing me Shouten. The things you did were more then foul and I have done some pretty foul things in my time.” He sneered.

 

“Oh Naraku I was having payback for your nasty little girl having tr'Awnhi blood in her. Cannot have that. You on the other hand have taken in tr'Awnhi from what I understand. You do not have to shape shift that do you?” Sanra asked lewdly.

 

“Get your filthy hands off of me.” He growled.

 

“We are evenly matched that is why you bide your time. You are such an intelligent adversary. Do you not touch other women? I am curious.” She demanded.

 

“No need to.” He smirked meanly.

 

“Oh you should. You know Maec wanted her too. He wanted that whore you give yourself to. He was too good for her and so are you.” She said wrapping her hand around him.

 

“I suggest if you wish to keep your hand then keep it up.” Naraku said coolly.

 

“Oh? Shall I actually give you pleasure corporeal? Shall I show you what I can do and make you feel dirty for it? I would love to see you curse me as you climax.” She said suddenly near his lips.

 

“So jealous that your brother wants my onna? You would try and make her angry by touching me? Asuna would never know.” He laughed.

 

Naraku stopped laughing immediately when he felt her phase her hand deep within him. It made him revolted but she was touching his prostate to make him feel ashamed. She thrived on making males feel inferior and dirty. It fed her voracious appetite for destruction. He made himself not react and he was biding his time. He knew from experience to keep this female busy and strike her when she was least expecting it. Something was different this time though and he choked as she stroked the nodule of nerves.

 

“She takes from me and I will take from her. Maec destroyed himself for her! I will make her wish for death. You will not harm me this time Naraku and I will not harm you. You may put down your claws.” She said heavily in his ear.

 

Sanra was bitter with hatred and her friend Danika was not diligent enough in her opinion. She pulled the stunned Naraku forward and she consumed him. Self loathing poured through him as his body responded and it left him winded. It damn near caused him to pass out and Sanra looked overly pleased with herself.

 

“I enjoyed your suffering those centuries ago but I am now going to enjoy your pleasure.” She said heavily against his mouth.

 

“I will rip you apart like I did that whore Thei.” He growled.

 

“Oh Naraku I could screw up your little world you have. Shall I do that? I think I shall. Gods you are nicely equipped. Does your little whore tell you that?” She said phasing her clothes away.

 

“You will regret this I swear it!” He said in a very low voice.

 

“There is a small part of you that glories in the evilness. The decadness of it and yes the perverseness. You are Naraku and not some little good boy are you? Yet you are so good at this.” She whimpered as she impaled herself backwards against him.

 

He snarled in fury and she gripped his hips tightly. She was a perfect whore and she could exact a response from his body almost at will. He grabbed her hair and yanked her head back to cause her pain and he realized she enjoyed it. She ended up climaxing around him tightly and he snarled out. He shoved her off of him and he stabbed her with a bony appendage. She laughed hysterically and it was such a sight to her sated and enjoying the pain he could inflict.

 

“Gods you turn me on. Only Maec could do that you know.” She purred as she phased out.

 

Disgust wormed its way through him and memories of what she had done to him in the past made him sick to his stomach. She was one person he would love to destroy right along with Raganos. She was not the common Shouten though and she was stronger then the average tr'Awnhi. He had ripped her up on a couple of occasions and she had managed to escape. She had entered his nightmares and made him insecure and that was unforgivable in his opinion. His children had brought this nightmarish onna to his door and he had yet a way to figure a way to get rid of her. Asuna's idea of binding with a lesser offensive Shouten was beginning to sound better and better.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ayana was watching Chikara as he was typing reports and it unnerved him when she did so. He looked over at her and she was bothered he knew. There was something always bothering her and his sons were not helping. He had fought horribly with Riku and Chikara had slammed his younger son into a wall and told him to leave his home. Things had gone from bad to worse then.

 

“Ayana?” He asked softly.

 

“Hmm?” She asked in a distant tone.

 

“Your mind is wandering again.” He sighed.

 

“Wondering why you have done all this Chikara. I am not worth the love of your sons.” Ayana stated.

 

“Should I not be the judge of that?” Chikara asked.

 

“I shattered your family and for what?” She asked.

 

“You and I have a family now.” He pointed out.

 

“Yes we do.” Ayana said with a trembling lip.

 

She was hurtling into something and he did not understand. He did understand he had given up everything for her and it was tearing her apart. The guilt he had felt for falling in love with her; she had transferred to herself and that guilt was destroying her. He stood up and he came near her.

 

“Chikara, I am not worth this! Riku is your son and you owe him something. You do not owe him to betray him for some harlot who destroyed his mother!” She cried.

 

“Orika is fine. I told you that we were friends. We barely ever coupled Ayana! Dear Kamis! You and I are together more in one week then she and I were in one year.” He snorted.

 

“Your son says different. He says I destroyed her.” Ayana said as tears fell down her face.

 

Fury ate at him and he sighed. He pulled his much younger mate up to him and he held her tightly. The funny thing was his sons adored his Riona. Orika had the brilliant notion of naming his sons Riku and Riki. He thought it silly but had given in and had continued on the tradition with naming his daughter similarly. His baby girl was his pride and his young mate his passion. He kissed her and she responded violently. She always did and he wondered how in the Kamis name they could have not have felt this sooner. Chikara was so madly in love with her that it was overwhelming to him. They ended up on their bed and he tried so hard to keep his beast contained. It was getting harder and harder to do. Ayana was so very much into pleasing him and making him feel. He watched her in a dizzy spin as she settled between his thighs and swallowed his member. He loved this onna so much that it was no thought to him to fight for their relationship. His head came off the pillow and he was panting as she worked to bring him to ecstasy.

 

“Yana please love. Let me finish with you. Onna please. Please.” He moaned out harshly.

 

She pulled back slowly and she looked at him with such adoration and he could not believe he ever thought her spoiled or a brat. She smiled at his thoughts and a wicked glint came into her eyes as she got onto all fours. Chikara practically jumped on her and he pressed his thumb into her clit. She shivered and moaned for him as they finished in a passionate haze. He had to jerk himself back to keep her from getting with child and she groaned in frustration. She seemed to have difficulty with birth control like Lady Asuna did and she laid there with her chest heaving.

 

“I do not care if I get pregnant!” She snarled.

 

“Yana, I will not do that to you. Not too soon my darling. I do not wish for your body to suffer okay?” He asked softly.

 

She groaned as he ran his fingertips down her back and he pressed his lips to her skin. He loved her so much and he could not get enough of her. They were folded up feeling the other breathe. They both settled in sleep and Ayana woke a little later to her belly rumbling and she decided to go and hunt. She whispered her intentions to him and he nodded sleepily. He pulled her down a little and kissed her naked backside. Ayana laughed and she got up. She checked on the twins and her other little ones and she ported outside. She went to change form and she was grabbed from behind.

 

“I told you I would come back for you.” Riku hissed.

 

“Stop this insanity now! Unhand me!” Ayana hissed back.

 

“I am so angry at you. How could you do that to my father? He and I are at odds over an onna! Not an onna I care for either!” He snarled.

 

“Then unhand me.” She said elbowing him in the gut.

 

Riku was surprised at her strength and he let her go. She whirled on him and she was wearing a thin silk tee shirt and jeans. Her long ebony hair was down and was waving. She had bangs and Riku was struck with truly how Japanese she looked.

 

“Your father is too pretty for a man anyway.” He sneered.

 

“What?” She said shocked at his words.

 

“Hai many always said Lord Ishin was too pretty and wondered if he preferred men.” Riku said in disgust.

 

“Insult me but not my great father.” She said sputtering in anger.

 

“It is no wonder my father finds you so fuckable. My mother is attractive but you are quite stunning.” He said to insult her.

 

Ayana was insulted and Riku decided to treat her cruelly. He grabbed her and held her jaw as he crushed her lips to his. She struggled in his grip and he forced his tongue into her mouth. She bit his tongue and swiped her claws across his face.

 

“I only treat you as the whore you are princess. Do you go to the highest bidder?” He asked narrowing his magnificent brown eyes.

 

“This is my home now Riku and you trespass as your father has asked you not to come here unless you are asked.” Ayana stated lifting her head.

 

“I will go where I please within Earth Tiger lands.” He stated slapping her backwards.

 

Her eyes bled red and she let her fan blade appear and she readied for battle. Riku had a katana this time and he pulled it. She came at him fast and he blocked her quick swipes. He began to rethink his moves and she was faster then he was. He watched the warrior onna as she jumped over him and he felt her blade swipe into his back. He hissed in horrendous pain as her venom infused blade dragged across his skin. She ducked low and back as she blocked his blows. She had been trained well and he knew she had fought side by side her old mate Yasunari.

 

“I do not want to hurt you Riku.” Ayana yelled.

 

“Kill me whore!” He yelled back.

 

She grew furious and she suddenly knocked him unconscious. She had to fall on him and get to his wound or he would become a mess. She ripped open his shirt and she lowered her mouth and began to suck out the venom. Something clicked in her brain and she sank her fangs into the wound. She groaned hard as she took in his tainted blood. Riku slowly came to and she was saving his life. He was also caught up in spasms of raw pleasure that he was unaccustomed to. It was so weird and so erotic to the young tarantula and he was ashamed of himself. His body reacted and he was painfully hard. Ayana was fighting whatever it was in her and he began gasping.

 

“What? What is this? Ay-ayana what is this?” Riku asked in a trembling voice.

 

-Trying to stop my venom. - She pathed in a beastly tone.

 

“Stop! Damnit stop it!” He said throwing his head back and he climaxed.

 

She lifted her mouth and blood trickled down. His eyes were reddened as well and he was in no way fulfilled.

 

“You hate this.” Riku whispered.

 

“Shut up!” She hissed.

 

“You did not want to take my father. You fell in love with him and him you.” He said in understanding.

 

“Stay out of my head tarantula!” Ayana growled in anger.

 

“You feel out of control.” Riku said crawling over to her.

 

“What did you do?” She screamed at him.

 

“Nothing. You mind was open to me.” He said making her look at him.

 

She was horrified at herself and she had done it again. She fell back and Riku was staring down at her.

 

“What are you?” He asked stunned.

 

“I do not know. I know not what I am becoming.” She said looking up at him.

 

“I will take you home.” He said trying to help her up.

 

“No! Stay away from me! You were trying to attack me moments ago and now you act as if you know and understand me? You want to know what it is I come from? My mother is a sexual blood drinker! I think I am becoming her!” She screamed.

 

Riku tried to stay calm and think rationally and he knew the stories of the consort of the Confederation. Ayana was agitated and he grabbed her. She was tackling him and he tried to contain her. The next thing he knew she was kissing him brutally. She moved her fangs to his juncture and he cried out when she sank them in.

 

-Still think I am a whore? - She pathed.

 

“Why are you doing this?” he croaked out.

 

“Smell you.” She snarled out.

 

He felt badly and her mind was in a tumult in guilt and instinct. He shoved her off and he dragged himself a little ways away and he changed form. He realized his error a moment later when she did the same. Riku was slammed into by a female funnel and she was large. She was also powerful as she began to overpower him and her mind was primitive. She was going to make him submit and he heard the stories of the female funnel webs and they would require the male to rut. He felt like a fool and he had faced down a superior kumo warrior who was in the midst of something. He pathed to her and implored her to please try and come back to herself. She changed form but she was not herself at all. She ported them to Tokyo and she shoved him against a wall.

 

“You kept it up. Why should I not take you?” She demanded.

 

“Because you are mated to my father and this is the modern era. I can admit I am an idiot and I have made a colossal mistake.” Riku said gulping.

 

“I have the right to make you submit to me.” She said flatly and in a hushed tone.

 

“Hai you do but I have stated very good reasons not to.” He said softly.

 

Ayana was not in a very good mood and she had tried to be reasonable. She used her silk and she actually pinned him to the wall. He looked outraged but he also looked good enough to eat at the moment.

 

“I could ask my father what he thought. He would say the same thing as you though. He is quite modern in his thinking. Do you know what my Chichi Naraku would say?” She asked leaning forward and narrowing her eyes.

 

“What?” He asked watching her closely.

 

“He would say the old ways had merit.” She said gritting her teeth.

 

“You intend to act like your namesake?” He demanded.

 

“My namesake is my mother! Asuna is Ayana!” She said growling.

 

“So you intend to honor the jorogumo way?” Riku asked with widened eyes.

 

“Hai!” She hissed.

 

Ayana pressed in the claw of her thumb and he gasped. He shifted uncomfortably as his body experienced twinges of pleasure. He groaned heavily and he wished he had not been so damn hard headed. His father had always accused him of excessive pride.

 

“Just bite me again please and get it over with it.” He pleaded.

 

Ayana decided to be reasonable and she sank her fangs into his juncture and she actually took in his blood. Riku was overtaken in the lust and pleasure again and he gasped hard. He heard himself beg and it was indecent as his body erupted again. Ayana slowly pulled back from his neck and she stared at his eyes.

 

“You smell so good.” She whispered.

 

“You smell me?” Riku asked in a dizzy tone.

 

“Good sense of smell.” She said licking his lips.

 

“You have won.” He said in a tired voice.

 

“Leave me alone from now on.” Ayana said clenching her jaw.

 

“Hai. I will back off.” He said as she let her silk dissolve.

 

She slid down his body and his eyes shut when she ripped open his jeans. Ayana pulled down his boxers and laved her tongue along his releases. He suppressed the shudders down his spine and he wondered if all funnel onna did these things.

 

“No.” She growled.

 

He moaned and she stepped back. She was shaking and she shook it off. She ported away and she appeared back in Korea. She wandered back into the small palace and she saw Chikara up rocking their daughter.

 

“Riku attacked me.” She said dully.

 

“What?” He asked looking at her state.

 

Her eyes were still red and she was disheveled. She was staring out and she looked at him.

 

“I am loosing myself Chikara. I am becoming less kumo and more like her.” She said with trembling lips.

 

“But you are half kumo. You are only a quarter uppyr and even less succubus.” He asked.

 

“I know not. I put him down without killing him.” She said shedding her clothes.

 

“You what? Ayana what does that mean?” He demanded.

 

“Your son almost became my bitch! I am a funnel female and he attacked me! I won and I did make him submit but not like that.” She said shaking her head.

 

Chikara was surprised and he knew instinctually she could have and should have made him kowtow. Morally speaking it would have been pretty bad but Riku to keep attacking his mate was bad.

 

“He is alright?” Chikara asked softly.

 

“Hai. I caught him with my blade but I got the venom out.” She whispered.

 

“Thank you for telling me.” He said hugging her.

 

“I am going to shower then I am going to find my mother. I am out of control and I have no idea how to stop this.” She said in fear of herself.

 

“Hai. I have the twins. Ayana, I think you are marvelous and I love you.” He said in her ear.

 

“I love you too Chikara and the intensity scares me. I love you so much and sometimes I think I could hurt you.” She said leaving him there.

 

She showered quickly and she ported back to Tokyo. She was pacing her apartment when she felt Hatham near. She looked up and his eyes perused her; he always had something quick to say but she pulled him softly into her arms and he was actually shocked. She was normally self castigating but she was seeking to mate his tongue and she let down his long black hair. He groaned softly as she deepened it more. She was undressing him right there and he put his hands over hers.

 

“Ayana you called for me.” He said nuzzling her neck.

 

“I want you.” She whispered heavily.

 

“Oh? Why now?” He asked archly.

 

She grew irritated with his pointed questions and his arrogant assertions. She attacked his lips anew and she walked him backwards. He had seen Yoshio in private but not her. It had torn him apart but he could not take her anger at herself and in a part; him. Hatham actually felt like a sexual object with her and he found it an odd place to be but that was exactly what he felt like when all she wanted was his body. She bared his physical form and he closed his eyes and groaned as her lips found his jugular.

 

“Hatham.” She whispered against his throat.

 

“I am not a toy for your personal use. I fathered a child unknowingly and you bound us unknowingly. Let us not complicate it, okay?” He said fighting to try and stay rational.

 

“I should hate you, you Kamis damn fucking Shouten!” She said in anger.

 

“My head spins with your endearments. What do you want?” Hatham asked pointedly.

 

Ayana growled fiercely and she shoved him hard. He was slammed against the wall and the plaster actually cracked a little. She fell against him and began to kiss him again. One hand was splayed across his face and the other was fisting in his hair. Her kisses were brutal and blood was spilled from their lips. He realized she was in a blood lust and not in control at all but figured she never really was. His hands drifted down her back and squeezed her firm buttocks. Her corporeal flesh felt so good in his physical hands and he very suddenly did not care. He moved and she was the one against the wall and he opened her thighs.

 

“You wish me to ease the ache for you?” He demanded.

 

“Hai.” She moaned.

 

“I want to make love to you for once Ayana. I want to know what it is like to move within you slowly and not fuck mindlessly.” He hissed.

 

She whimpered and Hatham phased them to her couch. She was underneath him and his black hair fell around them. He could feel her uppyr powers were out of control and he lowered his lips to her neck and slowly trailed soft kisses down her long neck. His defacto mate was crying out and it thrilled him to no end. He wrapped his lips around a nipple and she mewled as he suckled her. He used his tongue to tease the bud and it made him maddened with desire. She was shifting under him as his tongue and lips nipped their way to her other breast. Ayana's eyes were clouded in desperate need and Hatham slipped fingers between her nether lips.

 

“Ayana!” He hissed against her breast.

 

“Please Hatham do something.” She whimpered louder.

 

“Soon. I have wanted you like this. I have wanted you to want it like this.” He whispered.

 

His lips again descended upon her skin and trailed down her belly. He moved between her thighs and Ayana gasped as he slipped his tongue deeply inside of her. Hatham was seeking her pleasure and the end would bring him a sort of rapture. He could taste so much and it was heady as he continued to stroke deeper and he felt her convulse. He groaned as he tasted her sweetness upon his tongue. It made him drunk as he partook and she was moaning loudly. He could not take it and he phased within her. Ayana's eyes flew open and she was almost in an altered state. She remembered what he stated when they had first met. He was guiding her hands and he was going to make her feel another release and he would feel it with her. She was gasping and moaning as she arched and withered on her couch as he made love to her phantomly. She exploded and he groaned in her mind and he phased back. He was shaking a little and she was staring at him like meat.

 

“Say what you need Ayana.” He whispered softly.

 

“I need you my way Hatham.” She begged.

 

He nodded and he leaned forward and he eased himself into her scorching wetness. He actually cried out a little and it felt sublime especially after what they had just shared. His strokes were slow and languid like he wanted. Hatham felt his own body slick with perspiration and hers was as well. She wrapped her legs around his hips and pulled him down to meet her lips and it was glorious as he made love. His mind was not functioning well at all and she was pulling a powerful response from him. Hatham felt the paroxysm begin and it was taking him over.

 

“Ayana. You have to let me go.” He begged.

 

“No. Hatham stay in me. Please do not leave me.” She whined in his ear as she began to feel the build up.

 

“Will get you again. Ayana please!” He groaned out trying to hold back.

 

She opened her mind to him fully and she made him shatter right there. His fangs sank deeply into her neck as he his body actually seemed to shimmer in and out a moment as she held him there. Ayana muffled her scream with her own wrist and they shook against the other as her hips met his as he emptied his seed. Hatham was out of breath and he felt almost comatose.

 

“I love you too.” She whispered at his thought.

 

He shut his now white eyes and he needed to phase out so badly but she literally was the only thing keeping him there. He had never been so satisfied or so fulfilled like he had been in this moment.

 

“Ayana, I have to go to Hueco Mundo my beloved.” He whispered hoarsely.

 

“Then take me with you.” She whispered back.

 

“You have given me back something my sweet. You have made me partly whole again. I thank you.” He whispered softly as he phased them into his home plane.

 

Her brown eyes met his light grey ones and she kissed him again. They were still joined and Hatham knew again what it was to feel his other self.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ayana was sleeping in his arms and it had been the most beautiful night of his life. His beautiful corporeal mate was changing fast and he hated to think that their bond was doing it but he could only think it was. Whatever uppyr tendencies she had; their link was bringing it out with a vengeance. The passionate haze had continued till neither could move and they had passed out. They had phased back and forth between her plane and his several times and he was certain she was going to give him another child. She murmured sleepily and Ayana raised her head a little.

 

“Hi.” She mumbled.

 

“Hi.” He whispered back

“I need to get back.” She said running her hand up his thigh.

 

He nodded and she barely nicked near his groin. She had learned to release the tiniest bit of venom and he threw himself back against his bed.

 

“Yet you do that?” He said groaning.

 

“Why did you take me?” Ayana asked.

 

“I told you when Neral died I was bereft. I was watching your family and I saw you. I wanted you. You are so beautiful and I wanted to ease your suffering.” He admitted as he moaned softly.

 

“You are too. Watch Hatham.” She whispered silkily as she lowered her head.

 

She pleasured him and his breath was suspended as she did to him the same as the first day. His head was spinning as she very slowly brought him to just the edge and his world crashed into a million stars. He had shrieked out as he climaxed and it made him weak.

 

“I love to see you do that.” She grinned as she slid up his body.

 

“I enjoy when you do.” He said smiling softly.

 

She was planning something huge and she was in love with him. She knew what happened to her siblings and she knew his pain only too well. She kissed his nose and his smile melted her. She did not want to leave him but she needed to go. His black hair was haloed around his head and he was too comfortable and did not want to move. He groaned as she tickled him a little and he made himself get up. He save the energy and actually dressed himself. She watched him and she considered herself to be the luckiest damn onna to have Chikara and Hatham in her life. She had been lucky in love and she knew she was a hard ass bitch as times. He was lean but his muscles were defined. He knew she was perusing his form and he looked back at her.

 

“When will you know if you carry?” He asked.

 

“Soon.” She said.

 

“Will you call on me?” Hatham asked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“Okay. I will see Yoshio this evening.” He murmured.

 

She nodded and he handed her a robe. He pulled his hair back and she watched him closely. When he was done, he laced his fingers in hers and phased them to Tokyo. He lifted her chin and kissed her deeply and he finally phased away. She touched her own lips and she closed her eyes. Chikara knew she was changing too. Things were happening too fast but she had to try. She ported via her shoki and she appeared to Juria. Her Tengu was staring at a bubbling brew and she looked at Ayana.

 

“What can I do for you my dear?” She asked as she threw in herbs.

 

“What are you making?” She asked.

 

“Dinner.” She laughed.

 

“Oh! I need to slip back a couple of years and stop something. I need to do something for Hatham.” She said softly.

 

“Ayana!” Juria warned.

 

“Juria please! He loves me and he has left his family.” She pleaded.

 

“Your mother did that for Kenomaru and look what happened.” She warned.

 

“I am not Haha.” Ayana said indignantly.

 

“You always say that and yet here you are. I will send you back but that Shouten is his identical twin girl. They have similar tastes in onna and all things.” She warned.

 

“I am not going to fall for Neral.” She said stomping her foot.

 

“Okay.” Juria sighed.

 

She stood up and got a crystal for Ayana. Juria closed her eyes and she threw it against the floor. Ayana saw the portal and she slowly slipped through the portal. She was going to bring Neral back to the present and get him well. She walked into the midst of a battle and she saw the two Shouten fighting. She saw glass shatter everywhere at the hospital and she Neral fall. She released silk from both of her hands and she yanked the twin of Hatham to her. He skidded across the ground right at her feet and his eyes were fading fast. She yanked him behind a car and looked him over quickly.

 

“Who?” He asked breathing harshly.

 

He was bleeding out fast and she used her silk to bind the wound tightly. He cried out in pain and he was trying to phase out. She actually kept him there with her will and his eyes pleaded with her.

 

“Stop Neral!” She snapped.

 

“How do you know my name?” He rasped.

 

“Because I know Hatham.” She said suddenly cutting her wrist.

 

His milky eyes widened when he smelled the blood and she let him drink. She shut her eyes as he sank his fangs in deeply. She kept back the groans and his looks were identical to his twin. She could see why all thought it was Hatham. She did moan softly as he took in her much needed life force. He finally released her wrist and laid his head back. He was in severe pain but he would survive.

 

“Please let me phase out. I will make it.” He whispered hoarsely.

 

“I cannot do that. You are dead Neral. They must think you are dead but I will reunite you with Hatham.” She said softly.

 

“Why would you do this for your enemy?” He asked in a voice so like his brother.

 

“Because I love him dearly and I have given him a son.” She said porting with him to the north.

 

Neral was dumbstruck but he knew Hatham's tendency to engage corporeal women. He preferred Shouten but he did have to admit she was utterly beautiful to gaze upon. Her blood was the most wonderful thing he had ever tasted and he was just damn grateful. Juria had left a crystal and Ayana willed it into her hand. She smashed it and she changed form. Neral was stunned but she carefully wrapped him in silk and carried him through. She changed back when she appeared on the other side. She then proceeded to port to Yamasaki General. She pathed to Nanami who immediately ported to her sister's side and she was shocked.

 

“What the hell? What did you do to yourself?” She asked as if he was Hatham.

 

“Not him Nami. This is his twin.” She said softly.

 

“Oh! Sorry! I am Doctor Yamasaki Nanami. You are Neral?” She asked looking at his wounds.

 

“Yes. You all know of me?” He asked.

 

“I am bound to Hatham. I will get him momentarily. Nanami can you give him the paralytics? It is draining my yoki to keep him here.” She said softly.

 

“Oh yeah.” She said hurriedly.

 

Nanami ran and got Neral some drugs and she quickly started an IV. She also gave him Widow and he sighed in relief and he became quite flushed.

 

“Sorry about the side effects there dude.” She said shrugging.

 

“No pain but I am a little uncomfortable.” He admitted.

 

Ayana nodded and she closed her eyes. She mentally pulled on her bond with Hatham and he had been sleeping. He phased in and he was very sleepy looking. His jaw dropped the second he saw his twin brother. They blinked at the other and Hatham turned to Ayana.

 

“You saved him?” He said dumbly.

 

“Hai. You need not feel empty anymore.” She said cupping his cheek.

 

Neral was watching and it was obvious that the two had deep feelings for the other. His brother was not one to fall in love easily and she had restored himself to Hatham. His twin slowly turned to him and grabbed his hands.

 

“You fell to Hanaj after you followed him foolishly. I have left the family.” Hatham stated.

 

“Why?” Neral asked shocked.

 

“Because I will not be party to incest and murder no longer. I have a son with this woman.” Hatham stated.

 

“Hatham we are Shouten!” Neral said shocked.

 

“We are also honorable. We never participated in what Uncle Maec and Aunt Sanra did never! I want my son away from that trash! You should see him Neral. He is so beautiful.” Hatham said softly.

 

“Yes okay. You are the eldest.” He said closing his eyes.

 

“By minutes.” Hatham chuckled.

 

“Still you always were the leader of us Hatham. I will follow your lead in this brother. Cousin Hanaj is now our ally?” He asked.

 

“Yes. I stay amongst the Jing clan now. Shan Lao has been restored.” He explained.

 

Neral nodded and he eyed Ayana. She nodded to him and she proceeded to move away. She vomited her guts up and Hatham sighed softly. He moved over to her and rubbed her back and Nanami helped her lay down. She laid her ear to her belly and she looked up at Hatham.

 

“She carries.” She said softly.

 

“I figured she did.” He said eyeing Ayana.

 

Nanami went about fixing up Neral and Ayana was resting with her eyes closed. He was unable to move and it disturbed him and he was unbearably aroused. He closed his eyes as the extremely pretty doctor attended him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nanami was watching Neral and Sung Jao Li was near. He was checking the Shouten prince and he was again in awe of the corporeal doctor. It did not help him that he had begun to dream of her. Her silver hair was up and it was curled softly. She had on a tight fitting black sweater and black wide leg trousers with her white lab coat. Jao was a calm young man and amongst the Jing clan a brilliant mind; around her he just felt stupid. She was easing Neral off of Widow and she could not sense the other healer's mind. He always clammed up when she was around. He was extremely serious and very, very handsome.

 

“I again thank you for all you have done Nanami. I feel as though I learn something from you.” Jao said as he was putting away some medicines.

 

“Please. You act like I know what I am doing. I guess half the time.” She laughed.

 

“What?” He asked surprised.

 

“Hai. I make educated guesses.” Nanami smiled.

 

“You think and act quickly. It is a remarkable trait in a healer or in your case a doctor. I am honored to know such a brilliant mind.” He said bowing.

 

“How come you clam up around me Jao?” She asked softly.

 

“I do? I was not aware.” Jao said distantly.

 

“Hai. As soon as you see me; there becomes a mental block. Do you not like me? I mean I understand if you do not.” Nanami said meeting his eyes.

 

“I do like you madam. I am not…that is to say…I am shy is all.” He said stuttering.

 

Nanami moved closer to him and he stared deeply into her black eyes. He was almost breaking out into a cold sweat and he visibly gulped.

 

“Jao please tell me your thoughts. I cannot even feel your feelings. I am an empath and it disturbs me that I cannot feel your emotions.” Nanami said.

 

“You are an empath?” He asked.

 

“Hai.” She said nearing her lips to his.

 

“Nanami please no.” He said stepping back.

 

She nodded and he bowed to her. He was not sure of himself at all and he left her presence. Nanami followed him and grabbed his arm. He stiffened and turned around slowly. He was counting to try and calm his beating heart but it was racing. Jao again stared at her eyes and lust ripped through him. He reached his hands up and pulled her forward. Their lips met and they both groaned softly as they began to slip their tongues. He stepped back and he just stood there.

 

“I am sorry Doctor Yamasaki. My manners are lacking.” He said disgusted with himself.

 

“I know what I am Jao. I am not stupid like some of my siblings.” She said softly.

 

“You are becoming succubus?” He asked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

Jao looked away and sighed a little.

 

“You are a like a dream for me you know. I am shy and I just do not give into whims.” He tried to explain.

 

“Would I be a whim?” Nanami asked.

 

“No but I would pine for you. You are corporeal and I would positively pine for you.” Jao said actually looking her in the eyes.

 

She drew closer again and she scented along his neck.

 

“We heal others all day long and I do surgeries too. I know exactly what my body is doing now as I smell you.” She whispered.

 

“We are experiencing arousal.” He said almost clinically.

 

“Hai. Can I ask you a question?” Nanami asked as she brushed her nose along his neck.

 

“Yes.” He groaned a little.

 

“Is your blood pressure rising?” She asked.

 

“Yes.” He said closing his eyes and breathing harder.

 

“Respiration too. I bet you are leaking a little.” She said huskily into his ear.

 

“Yes.” He said clenching his hands.

 

“Me too.” She said licking his earlobe into her hot mouth.

 

Jao lost it and turned his head to meet her lips. He wrapped his arms around her and he undid her hair. He was painfully shy and Lei had always teased him for it. The now son of the clan leader was so outgoing that anyone in comparison was shy. She made him dizzy in her kissing and she was getting heady in it.

 

“Take us somewhere.” She groaned in his ear.

 

“Sorry.” He said shaking his head.

 

He phased them to his room and she immediately ripped open his simple linen black tunic shirt. His hair was wavy black and she was running her fingers through it as her mouth scorched along his skin. He gasped softly as she nipped his skin and reached a male nub. He finally lost his sense of stupidity and he slipped her lab coat off and then lifted her arms to pull off her fitted sweater. He hated the corporeal bra things and he just phased it away. Nanami actually laughed a little and they fell on his bed. He cupped her breasts in his warm hands and she noticed that his fingers were long and graceful. She had the urge to suck on them and he lowered his head.

 

“What have you been thinking?” She gasped in deeply as he nipped at one tip then the other.

 

“This. I have marveled at your mind I confess but I have lusted for you.” He whispered.

 

“You are a gentle soul are you not?” Nanami asked as she felt his teeth barely nibble.

 

“Yes. I always hurt for those that were wounded.” Jao said as he grew bolder and sucked a tit into his mouth.

 

Nanami groaned hard and Jao grew bolder and slipped his fangs around it. She arched her body and she experienced a climax. He was surprised but extremely pleased by her reactions. He licked the tip over and over till she stopped trembling.

 

“May I speak plainly?” He asked against her breast.

 

“Hai.” She said lethargically.

 

“When I saw you help your mother; I simply was amazed. When you showed such compassion and thought for your sister and Prince Hatham's babe; I was smitten with you. I confess I wished to know what it was like to know you more and what it would be like to be within you.” He whispered as he began to kiss along her belly.

 

Nanami lifted her head and she stared at him. This man was deep and he was reading her body well. He gently rolled her and began to run his finger down her back. Nanami groaned heavily and laid her head to the side as he let her feel the vibrations.

 

“When I took my studies to become a healer; I remember reading that spider daemons feel the very vibrations in the air and their skin.” He stated.

 

“Hai.” She said groaning.

 

“Can you tell me what it feels like?” He asked.

 

“Little shocks but not bad ones. Little impulses that go to my brain telling me what you are doing.” She gasped.

 

“So softer sensations will send pleasure to your brain but the constant stroking will overload your sensitive spider hairs correct?” He asked softly.

 

“HAI!” She moaned loudly.

 

“I see them standing up a little. How very intriguing and alluring. Yet you have succubus needs as well? Will you tell me what they are?” Jao asked.

 

“Need blood. I have started to crave it.” She whimpered.

 

“I always crave it. Shall I tell you a delicacy?” He said with a gentle tone.

 

“Hai.” She said with a quivering tone.

 

“Shouten men love cunnilinigus. At the height of orgasmic release a female's blood will be spiked with powerful hormones and such. It is a high unlike anything else.” He stated like the doctor he was.

 

“Similar but I need the act itself as well.” She groaned as he continued to run his finger tips and claw tips along her skin and ultra fine hairs.

 

“Yes. Succubus and incubus uppyr need the high amounts of energy that is released during the physical act of coitus.” Jao stated.

 

“You are turning me on.” She groaned more.

 

“What is the word I have heard to describe…oh yes…nerd.” He laughed softly.

 

He undid her trousers and slipped them down and he noticed her lace panties. He pulled them down and her silver down was trimmed. He lowered his head and scented her closely and he shut his eyes.

 

“Again so alluring.” He said in a husky tone.

 

“Jao, Kamis please, do something! Going mad.” She said crying out hard.

 

“Yes. You are weeping.” Jao murmured as he licked her slowly.

 

She shrieked through clenched teeth as her body was bordering on pain. He began to suckle her clit softly and the soft spoken; shy healer was a pistol in bed. She began to tremble harshly as a huge climax rocked her to her core and she felt his fangs slip around her labia. It did not hurt and it through her again into bliss. He groaned loudly as he drank and it lasted several minutes as she suddenly blacked out. He slowly withdrew his fangs from her pleasure swollen core and he truly felt unbelievably drunk. Jao had not been intimate in awhile and this was such an amazing and mind altering experience for him. He slid up her body and he would have been content with all that had occurred but she was slowly coming to.

 

“Are you alright?” He asked.

 

“Hai. Kamis that was mind blowing.” She whispered.

 

“Yes for me as well.” He stated in a soft voice.

 

“Yet you did not.” She said confused.

 

“Mental rapture is a powerful thing. Thank you. This has been immensely wonderful.” He said softy kissing her lips.

 

Nanami was unused to not fulfilling her partner fully and she kissed him back as deep. She sat up as she kissed him and she leaned him back this time. Jao was curious as to what she was up to and Nanami was gripped in old memories. For some reason Jao reminded her so much of Tomoharu that it was almost painful. She was passionately kissing along his skin and his face began contorting as she nipped the skin roughly. He gasped softly here and there as her uppyr like bite brought him pleasure. Nanami kissed down his thigh and he lifted his head as he went tense.

 

“Gods!” He cried out softly.

 

She looked up at him with reddened eyes and his responses were getting to her. He noticed tears glistened her black orbs and he was confused but he could not think when she began to kiss along his length. His fingers slid through her hair and she was passionately kissing and nipping his now raging member.

 

“Nanami what is wrong?” He whispered through the pleasure.

 

He could feel warm tears against his groin and she wrapped her lips around him and he groaned heavily. He had heard that corporeal lovemaking was VERY physical and this was blowing his mind. Nanami slowly pulled back and she lay against him. Jao felt her form pressed to his and he was breathless.

 

“So close.” He whispered.

 

“I know. Hai there.” She said as she maneuvered on him.

 

“Exquisite.” Jao cried.

 

“Kamis you are so like him.” She said very softy.

 

“Who?” He asked confused.

 

Nanami quit speaking and she moved her hips in a slow rotation. The wraith under her was literally out of breath as it was another level for him. He had participated in the physical in the betweens but never with a corporeal. There was something to be said when it was another species and his nights had been filled with imagining doing something along these lines. He was groaning heavily as he could feel every little breath and flutter. His eyes were bleeding white slowly as her walls clutched and massaged his member. The pure feeling was spreading out all over and he leaned his head up to nip at breast. He was desperate and he began to suckle her as she began to move her hips harder. Nanami whimpered out as it triggered a staggering finish. She felt him bite around her nipple and she cried out as her body went rigid. Jao released her tip and fell back as he emptied his seed as waves of pleasure washed through him. Nanami fell against him and he lifted a hand to rest on the top of her silver head.

 

“You wept for someone and said I was like him.” He prompted.

 

“Sato Tomoharu. He was mortal and my first mate. He was killed not long after we mated. I went mad.” She admitted playing with his hair.

 

“I remind you of him?” He asked.

 

“Hai. You are so quiet until you get into bed.” She laughed softly.

 

He chuckled as well and she suddenly pulled him up.

 

“You are white. I would not just feed anyone you know.” She purred in his ear.

 

The tone of her voice and the way she offered herself had him touched and more aroused. He took her juncture between his lips and began drinking deeply. Their encounter had been the last thing he had expected but it had been extremely wonderful. Nanami and Jao finally settled down to sleep and he wondered at this young mortal who had caught her heart.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nanami was staring at the results and she just could not believe it. She and Ayana had become much closer as of late because frankly they covered up for one another. Her big sister came into her office and flopped down.

 

“You are a doctor and you use a pregnancy test?” Ayana asked amazed.

 

“Hai. I know crazy but I am not going to ask my Chichi if I am pregnant. Yana, I am.” She said surprised.

 

“Why are you shocked kiddo?” She asked.

 

“Because the one person I should be giving children I cannot.” She sighed as she sat.

 

“Jao?” She asked.

 

“Hai. He is cute is he not?” Nanami asked.

 

“Cute? No gorgeous. What do you think he will say?” Ayana asked in return.

 

“I am unsure. Perhaps I should not say anything?” She said.

 

“Nami!” Her sister growled.

 

“Okay, okay! Hatham is falling over himself and so is Chikara. I swear you are going to end up having a brood like Haha.” Nanami said swinging her foot.

 

“I am strangely okay with that. I am also okay if they belong to Hatham and Chikara. I love them both so much that it kills me. I loved Maki and Yasunari but the intensity how I love these two is enough to drive me insane.” Ayana admitted.

 

“I am becoming nuts about Jao too.” She admitted.

 

“Okay so we are both terrible and not at all like we thought we should be.” Ayana said.

 

“Hai but Chikara knows what you are and he accepts you. Do not throw that away because you think you should be a kumo onna Ayana because we are not. We are changing.” She said bluntly.

 

“Hai.” Her elder sister said.

 

Nanami and Ryuken were fine as things were. They were loving and they were good together when they were together. She saw Ashido now and then and Ishida was off doing his thing at university. She narrowed her eyes and she ported to the in between. Jao was busy patching up a small child who had skinned his knee and he looked over at his lover and smiled.

 

“Hello Doctor Yamasaki.” He said with warmth.

 

“Hello Healer Sung. May way speak?” She asked.

 

“Yes. There you go and watch your step little one.” He said ruffling the small boy's head.

 

The small Shouten child beamed and took off in a run. Jao stood up and began cleaning up and he looked at Nanami. She seemed lost in thought and he just waited for her to speak.

 

“I shall come to the point. I am pregnant and I am most pleased with the prospect. I have one daughter already and it took forever to have her. I am ready for another but I ask nothing from you but it is right you know.” Nanami stated.

 

“Pregnant?” He asked surprised.

 

“Hai. I can see it is not what you wished but I assure you that I am a good mother. I come from a well established family and I have a good fortune of my own.” She said touching her stomach.

 

“I could care less if you were a pauper but you wish for this?” He asked shocked.

 

“Hai. I must go.” She said bowing.

 

Jao grabbed her and held her as she searched his eyes. He was numb being told he was going to be a father and he was trying to grasp it.

 

“I am Shouten. Your family would shun my child.” He said softly.

 

“Not a Jing.” She pointed out.

 

“I am not opposed to the idea Nanami but you are acting about as happy as one would if they discovered an incurable disease.” He stated.

 

Her mouth dropped open and she turned to stare at him. She turned and slapped him and walked towards a door.

 

“That goes into my bedroom.” Jao called gently.

 

“Well fine!” She yelled.

 

“I am sorry but I would hope that having my baby would make you happy and not clinical.” He said miffed.

 

“I want this baby! I hope it is a boy as I want a son! I have wanted to be a mother a million times over by now. If you wanted I would give you a dozen babies.” She growled.

 

“Perhaps you can.” He said smirking like a smart ass.

 

It was something Tomoharu would have done and she lost it. She wrapped her arms around him and became choked up.

 

“You get very emotional when you think of him. I feel as though there is another person here Nanami. I have wished for a family but I have also been pragmatic. I keep doctor's hours as you do and it is difficult. I am a Jing and I can enter the slipstream. Why not go back?” He asked gently.

 

“Because I know not what I change if I change it. Would I have my daughter? Probably not. I would not change that.” She said as tears slipped down her face.

 

“I only hope someday that someone may love me that much.” He said kissing her forehead.

 

“You stupid, I am falling for you!” She hissed.

 

“Yet you cry for him?” Jao asked.

 

“You may remind me of him but only in personality Jao. Your words and manners are what make me inflamed. You make me feel I did before and I liked who I was.” Nanami said wiping her eyes.

 

He lifted her chin and they stared at the other. They had been carrying on for a couple of weeks and they were pretty hot and heavy. He kissed her and it was soft as he captured her cheeks between his hands. Jao was fixing to ask something and it was huge.

 

“Leave your husband and marry me.” He said pressing his forehead to hers.

 

“What?” She asked stunned.

 

“You like him and may love him some but we have passion Nami. Damnit. I feel it every time I touch you. Marry me.” He stated emphatically.

 

“Ryuken has not asked for this.” She said trying to back up.

 

“Yet you are here nearly every night and you bring your daughter.” Jao said releasing her.

 

Her chest was heaving and she stared at him.

 

“I would have no expectations beyond what you are Nanami but I should like the same status that my clansmen shares with the Lady Asuna. I should like for my child to carry my surname.” He said with narrowed eyes.

 

“Then why not marry in the Shouten tradition?” She asked.

 

“Fine. Do it.” He said crossing his arms.

 

“Fine I will. Name a time and place.” Nanami said.

 

“I will go to Lei or Shan Lao this day. It can be arranged by tomorrow.” He said lifting his head and walking past her.

 

“I love you!” She yelled.

 

“Yes. I love you.” He snapped back.

 

Nanami had shown up to tell him that she was pregnant and she was walking out engaged. She raised a silver brow and she was in shock at herself. She needed her mother but settled on Lei. She went in search of him and she found him with her siblings.

 

“Doctor Nanami! How are you?” Lei asked.

 

“Jao asked me to marry him.” She said plopping down.

 

“You two are seeing each other?” He asked surprised.

 

“Hai. Have for a few weeks. I am also pregnant.” She said looking sheepish.

 

“Oh. Well then marrying you would be good. Is he passionate at all?” Lei asked in a low whisper.

 

“Lei!” She snapped.

 

“I take that as a yes. Goodness the women in your family have a way with our men. I love it!” He chortled.

 

She shook her head and she smiled. She was in for an emotional ride and she tried to prepare herself for it.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Zihao was unnerved and he could swear he was being followed. His grandfather had the gall to call him a scaredy cat and it was just plain insulting to be compared to a domestic feline. He was trying to get some work done for Mizuki but the feeling would not stop. He stood up and looked around and he felt a hand on his shoulder. He jumped and he saw Bai Jing.

 

“I am sorry.” She whispered.

 

“No! It is okay. I thought I felt something I just thought I was going crazy.” Zihao laughed softly.

 

“I have been working up my nerve to talk to you.” She said blushing.

 

“Why?” He asked.

 

“You were so polite to me that evening and I wanted to say thank you.” She said.

 

“I am sorry Osami was such an ass. He means well and he is a really good guy but he is a bit of a flirt.” Zihao said sheepishly.

 

“You need not apologize for him. He seemed nice enough. It was you that intrigued me.” She said turning redder.

 

“Me?” Zihao asked surprised.

 

“Yes well. I suppose I should let you go. I did not mean to disturb you. I am painfully shy and still trying to acclimate to freedom.” Bai stated with a small smile.

 

“It must have been lonesome and horrid. I am so sorry you had to suffer what you did. My own upbringing was fabulous. My Haha is great and my Ba was too.” Zihao said with softness in his tone.

 

“My own father is wonderful but he did not get a chance to be wonderful. He tried so hard to do everything right in the face of great evils. Not all Shouten are horrid beings. I know what my mother did and I know you all should hate me but please do not. I would never hurt your wonderful mother.” She said as tears actually welled up in her eyes.

 

Zihao reached over and wiped away the bloody tears. His warm amber eyes held such profound sympathy for her suffering.

 

“I know my mother and she will defeat your mother. I know she will defeat all those who have harmed those she cares about. You have become apart of that.” He said warmly.

 

Bai watched the beautiful man and he was so gentle. In some ways so much like her father; Shan Lao. She grew bold and she kissed him. Zihao was caught off guard and softly groaned into it. She was still too skittish and she pulled back. The tiger prince blinked and stared at the ethereal beauty before him.

 

“Forgive me for what I am about to do.” He whispered.

 

He pulled her forward gently and delved his rough feline tongue to hers. Bai was groaning softly as he kissed her with ease and subtle passion. Zihao was soft spoken and highly learned but he was by no means a stranger to love or passion. His parents' relationship had made him ache for something so wonderful. It was normal to him for tigers and for his mother to have many mates so he did not think twice about it. He was trying to keep it somewhat under control but she was sweet and she was blossoming under his ministrations. He made himself slowly pull back and he suckled her bottom lip as he did so.

 

“You have a lovely mouth Miss Jing. I admit I wished to kiss you that night.” He said blushing a little.

 

“You stopped.” She said touching her mouth.

 

“I believe in moderation.” Zihao stated smiling.

 

“You believe in honor.” Bai said otherwise.

 

“Hai well I suppose. My Ba would have my hide if I hurt a nu zi.” He said blushing hotly.

 

“Your father sounds as if he was a wonderful example. I am going to be quite unlike myself and say I do not wish to be proper.” She said softly nearing him.

 

“What do you wish Miss Jing?” He asked softly.

 

“I wish to feel normal for once.” She begged falling against him.

 

She opened her full lips and received his wonderful tongue again and she gently bit in. He softly groaned as they both felt utter pleasure in the act. Bai had buried her hands in his silver hair that came to just past his ears. Zihao was very slowly undressing her and he could not believe how wanton he was acting. Osami had wanted her badly and he was here taking her. Bai was undoing his white button down and she exposed his muscled chest. It happened as if in slow motion and he leaned her back on his bed as he continued to kiss her deeply. He needed to prepare her and he slowly pulled away from her mouth. She whined at the loss and he gave a sultry look.

 

“I need to do this. I promise you will understand in a few minutes.” He whispered.

 

“Okay.” She said pouting a little.

 

He very gently opened her thighs and she watched him. Zihao was truly Quon's son and he had always been a private man. His father had taught him discretion and honor. He lowered his head to lightly tease her folds with his tongue and she gasped. He kept it slow and Zihao began to explore her with his tongue deeply. Bai's eyes were wide and she felt pressure beginning to build up in her loins. He was being gentle as could be and she felt his teeth nibble something and her mouth fell open. Zihao could tell she was going to climax then and there so he took to flicking his tongue. The female wraith stiffened and began crying out sweetly and softly as her body shook. He slid up her body and she pulled his lips to hers. He carefully slid himself into her and he forced down a choke. She was ungodly tight and he carefully pulled backed. She screamed into their kiss and he made himself stay slow. Bai was wildly kissing him and he felt her hands up and down his back. He was feeling pretty much the same but trying to keep himself in control; she was gripping him tightly and her passionate sighs and moans were making it more difficult. He realized he was thrusting hard and she was gasping each time. Zihao was lost in the beautiful onna beneath him and he lowered his lips to graze a caramel tipped breast. Her brows furrowed and she groaned out as she felt his lips and raspy tongue.

 

“I want to, please let me, Gods!” She moaned as she arched her body towards him.

 

Her body gripped him tightly and he moaned softly as he too succumbed to her pleas. His amber eyes were closed and Bai was making soft noises.

 

“I need blood.” She said softly.

 

He moved his head and exposed his neck. She slipped her fangs in and he gasped softly as she took in what she needed. Bai was flexing her fingers and she suddenly phased into him and Zihao fell to his mattress and moaned out and felt nothing like he had felt before. He cried out as the pleasure of her presence within was mind altering and he was withering on his bed. He clutched at his bed sheets and he was groaning harder as she was like a whisper in his head a caress upon his soul. He rasped harder and harder as he felt his body tightening almost of its own volition and he suddenly grabbed his own girth. He roared out as he climaxed powerfully and Bai appeared behind him. She was shaking too and she was clutching his sweaty body.

 

“Gods what was that?” He asked in a soft voice.

 

“That was one way my people couple.” She said pressing her full lips to the back of his neck.

 

“Amazing.” He whispered.

 

“You think so?” She asked.

 

“Yes.” He said with a dry mouth.

 

Bai bit her own tongue and kissed him. He groaned loudly as he tasted such sweetness and he practically attacked her offering. She moaned too as he seemed so intent and it was getting heated again. She had thought him so beautiful and she had wanted to get to know him and she had found his manners so pleasing. She had taken a chance and thrown caution to the wind and he made her feel like the only female on earth. Zihao began to move his lips along her jaw and neck; she was going to shatter again and she found that she was absolutely fine with that.

Riku was in Tokyo and he was attempting to apologize. His pride frankly had been affronted but he had also ended up ashamed as hell of himself. His father had taught him better. He entered the office building where Lady Ayana worked and he intended to just apologize more formally and leave her be. He went up the elevator and he saw youkai from different species hustling along their modern lives. He happened to see Prince Karu and he nodded his head. Karu bowed to Riku and Mizuki was standing near. Karu's hand was on her belly and Riku was surprised.

 

“Prince Karu and Lady Mizuki.” He said bowing.

 

“Riku. How are you?” Mizuki said.

 

“I am well. I was here to see Princess Ayana.” He said respectfully.

 

“She is in her office.” Karu said watching the tarantula.

 

“Thank you.” Riku said.

 

Mizuki and Karu stared at the other in askance and they shrugged. Karu kissed his mate and smiled at her belly. His son and daughter were well and he was giddy. Mizuki still watched Riku and she was curious.

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

Riku knocked on Ayana's door and she called enter. He slipped in and she perused his form. She was not angry and they just eyed the other.

 

“I came to apologize more formally.” He said softly.

 

“Okay but it was not necessary.” She said flatly.

 

“I was raised better and I acted a prideful fool.” Riku stated.

 

Ayana stood up and she was in business attire. His brown eyes perused her soft grey body hugging suit. The swell of her breasts was hinted at and her ebony hair was loosely up. Her heels tapped on the marble floor as she neared him.

 

“If you feel it necessary to apologize then I shall accept it. Please accept mine then. I should not have forced what I did.” She said looking away.

 

Riku turned a little red and their eyes met.

 

“I have not been able to stop from thinking on it.” He admitted.

 

“Same here.” She admitted too.

 

“Tell me what to do Princess Ayana and I shall do it. I should have left you alone.” He stated staring at her golden eyes.

 

She leaned in and Riku was just not wanting to do what was right at the moment. He pulled her forward and she made a noise. He leaned her head to look up at him and they were staring.

 

“I am wrong for this. I am horrid for this.” He whispered.

 

“Then let us not do this.” Ayana whispered.

 

“You do not want that anymore then I do.” Riku stated as his fingers began to brush along her cheeks.

 

“You know my heart do you?” She asked in a harsh whisper.

 

“I was in your head.” He snapped.

 

“Hai you were in my head. You want me?” Ayana asked in irritation.

 

“Kamis hai.” Riku whispered.

 

“You called me a whore though.” She growled.

 

“I am sorry.” He said ashamed.

 

Ayana slowly kissed him and he groaned loudly. Riku had become obsessed with his sire's new mate and it was driving him insane. He was not a tame male by any means and he undid her suit jacket and her pliant breasts spilled out. Ayana gasped as she felt him begin to tease a tip between a thumb and forefinger as their lips moved. He ripped his lips from hers and he picked her up and sat her on the desk.

 

“Riku this is insanity.” Ayana said inflamed.

 

“Hai it is. You are named for our founder and you act like her. You may as well take lovers like her.” He said slipping her jacket off of her shoulders.

 

Hunger ripped through him and he lowered his head. He noticed the smell and it was driving him feral.

 

“Kamis.” He growled.

 

“Hai I am pregnant and that is what you are reacting to.” Ayana said softly.

 

“No. Maybe in part hai. I do not care.” He began a low growl.

 

Riku undid his dark khaki trousers and he slipped up her skirt. He almost wished now that she had made him submit. Now he just slipped inside of her and she yelped out. Her claws scored down his back and thoughts were solely on this. She was groaning and he was pummeling her hard. He released his venom and Ayana was seizing up in pleasure and this male was dominating her.

 

“Ayana.” He groaned heavily.

 

“Riku why do you do this?” She said in a quivering tone.

 

“You should have made me do this rightfully. I was wrong and I admit it. I am a fool.” He rasped.

 

Their bodies shivered and responded as they continued. Riku was doing exactly was Lord Bihua had done years ago when Ayana the Great had come to the Recluse. He was going to take his part of this amazing onna and he intended to take as much as he dared.

Asuna was home in Japan and she was going through her mail. She heard a knock on the door and she waved the door open. Naraku slipped in and she looked up surprised.

 

“Hello inu. Where have you been?” He demanded.

 

“Training in my empusae yoki. What has happened?” She asked narrowing her eyes.

 

“I wish you would leave a small portion of our bond open. Just a little. Sanra showed up.” He growled.

 

Asuna immediately was growling and he knew that would get her attention fast. She watched Naraku and she knew the Shouten female was a major obstacle to him personally.

 

“She still can outmaneuver you?” Asuna asked.

 

“Hai. I am thinking that I am going to get to know this Shan Lao fellow. He seems the least offensive of the Jings. Perhaps I shall take your advice.” He said stiffly.

 

“I only suggest it to protect yourself.” She pointed out.

 

“Yet this Maec does not seem affected by Hanaj or Shan Lao.” He said.

 

“I have asked about that. Maec is strange amongst most Shouten. It is said that he purposely has inoculated himself against several families. How he has done that I have no wish of knowing. Hanaj has no clue how he would do such a thing.” Asuna said.

 

“They are sick. I mean I say that Asuna.” He shuddered.

 

“I know my darling.” She said coming to him and hugged him tightly.

 

He was angry and he hated feeling weak. He gripped her shoulders tightly and made her look at him.

 

“What did this Maec do to you and why does Sanra hate you so?” He demanded.

 

“It matters not.” She growled.

 

“It matters to me!” He hissed.

 

“It is over Naraku. He is dead now.” She said moving.

 

“At some point he is not. At some point you will go back and he will dare lay a hand on you. He caused my child to die. I want to know what he did.” The hanyou said in an overly calm voice that meant trouble.

 

“He captured me and attempted to make me a filthy whore. I managed to escape with Shan Lao's help. I am sure he suffered for it but he has not said.” She said in a low tone.

 

“I hate this! These beasts obviously at some point raise arms with the wyvern and they obviously have gotten chummy with your evil whore of an ancestor.” Naraku stated as he looked at her.

 

“Then we shall figure it all out and when! I am not going to stop my life because Danika is in the picture or Maec or anyone!” She hissed in his ear.

 

He had not intended to feel this around her but she felt so good to lean against. He pressed his hand on her belly and he looked at her face. He held her jaw and kissed her.

 

“Sheng called me. He said he is moving back to Japan.” He stated whispering.

 

“Hai.” She acknowledged.

 

“I told him he should move in here.” The hanyou stated.

 

“Oh you did.” Asuna said smirking.

 

“Hai. I need you.” He said suddenly picking her up.

 

There was desperation in his tone and something had happened. Things became a blur and they acted like they always did. He was over her as he shook and their eyes were red.

 

“I cannot do this thing with a Shouten.” He said in anger.

 

“You trust me. Then trust me Naraku. Sanra wants you and she will do anything to take you and make you into what she wants. There are a few of the tr'Awnhi who are more powerful then most of the others and Sanra is one of them. Kaimei would know.” She said running fingers through his hair.

 

“Things were simpler when your father and uncle were still my enemies. I was sure of much and I was more devious.” He stated lying beside her.

 

“Hai things were so much simpler.” She said in sarcasm.

 

“Okay not simple inu but simpler in a way. You and I love each other and we fought for each other. Now we know exactly what it is you are and other things.” He sighed.

 

“You are feeling out of sorts.” She sighed too.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“We will figure it all out.” She said with confidence.

 

“Hai.” Naraku stated with a little more zest.

 

They stared at the other and they smiled softly.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was in the past and she decided to check up on things as they were. Her succubus child was making her crave blood like crazy and she was in a rather bad state. She had found Sebastein in this era and had pinned him to a wall and fed like a glutton. Things between them were getting more and more intense and she wondered about it but at the moment she was focusing on Japan. She was in the West and she was in her true form sniffing around for any wraiths, wyverns, or red basilisks. Asuna was near Kyoto and she came up on the beach. She lifted her head and she caught sight of someone she had purposely not seen in a very long time. Her heart clenched so painfully that it left her staggering. On the beach and dressed in navy silk was Yuuta. His long silver hair was plaited and he was smiling as he talked. She had to change form and lean against a simple ship further down the beach. Who had killed him had changed but the fact that he had died had not. He had been wiped out by the Shouten instead of the Panyu. She was a young onna at this time and she walked away towards the city.

 

“Pup! What are you doing out here this time of the morning? Should you still not be abed?” He called.

 

She stiffened and she turned back to look at him. Yuuta had only seen a quick glimpse but it was not a young waif of a bitch that stared at him but a full grown onna. This princess was an adult and she was stunning beyond all reckoning. His mouth was dry and she was beautiful.

 

“Princess?” He asked stunned.

 

“Hai Sir Yuuta.” She said bowing low.

 

“Asuna?” He asked again.

 

“Hai Sir Yuuta.” She replied again.

 

“But pup you are a girl. You are not a girl.” He said confused.

 

“It will take too long to explain Sir Yuuta. Know that I am still abed somewhere after having caused someone some great mischief.” She smiled.

 

“You were here with Yuudai. How is this? How old are you?” Yuuta asked.

 

“Older then you.” She smiled.

 

“Something remiss?” He asked.

 

“Of course. Kamis Yuuta. So incredible. I am sorry I have been such a pain in your backside. I did not mean to be.” Asuna said wistfully.

 

“I have no words Princess. You become such a beautiful bitch. I mean to say that you are a handsome girl but you are beautiful.” He said reaching out and cupping her cheek.

 

“Thank you. Your words mean much to me sir. You have no idea how much. Beat me often as I deserve it. I am a pain and I am occasionally unworthy of your son's friendship.” She said looking away.

 

Pain welled up in her and she pulled back. She covered her mouth and a sob ripped through her chest. She remembered the image from Yuzuna's mind and it tore at her. She remembered too much and Yuuta watched the amazing onna almost completely dissolve into tears.

 

“Princess?” He said nearing her and holding her up.

 

“I must go. There must not be a paradox. I cannot allow me to see me.” She said wiping tears.

 

“Do you do this often?” He asked.

 

“It is necessary right now. Yuuta it is so good to see you like this. I again am so sorry for the things I do. I truly did not mean to be so thoughtless.” She said softly.

 

“You are a pup. Sometimes a very spoiled pup but a young girl nonetheless. You have become quite the onna Princess. I am honored.” He said bowing.

 

She bit her lip and when he stood straight; she could not bear it. She neared him and caught his lips. He was so shocked at the move and she was desperately kissing him. Yuuta opened his mouth and he groaned as she ravished him right there. It was more then shocking that she should do this but he was so highly affected. Her tears were falling down her cheeks and he knew without a doubt that something huge ended up happening between him and her. He could not fathom why but he could not also think too hard when her tongue began to tease his. She slowly pulled back and shook her head hard as if to clear it.

 

“Princess?” He asked as he grabbed her arm.

 

“Yuuta stop.” She whispered.

 

“We know each other as lovers?” He asked making her stare at him.

 

“Stop!” She growled.

 

“Answer me.” He demanded.

 

“We know each other as mates.” She said flatly.

 

“What?” He asked dumbfounded.

 

“Your daughter is my heir.” Asuna said in a whisper.

 

“My daughter?” Yuuta asked in awe.

 

“Hai. I must go.” She said flatly.

 

“Wait! What is her name?” He asked.

 

“Yuzuna.” She said.

 

“My daughter?” He said almost floored.

 

“Yuuta stop okay? I give you a daughter. She is beautiful and wonderful.” Asuna said trying to extract herself from him.

 

“So why are you damn near weeping?” He asked in a hushed tone.

 

She said nothing and he knew already. He must be dead and the thought of his daughter was killing him. Atsune had died with Wakana at birth. The idea that he would take the princess as a mate was laughable now but seeing her as a grown onna was stealing his breath. He pulled her to him and he was a demanding man. He was also an impossibly wealthy and powerful man within the Western Lands. His grey eyes were boring into hers and he kissed her. This female was utterly amazing. Whatever it was he was feeling coming from her it was powerful and it was making him dizzy. Asuna was also dizzy being this close to him and kissing him. There were a couple of other inu milling about but Yuuta did not seem to care. His lips dragged to her ear and he was breathing heavily.

 

“My lady. I admit this is odd for me but allow me to know you. Please. You say I have given you a pup. Let me touch you and feel you.” He said in a heavy tone.

 

She ported them suddenly to his mainland estate and he was almost amused. She did know him it seemed and she began to undress him. He too was mesmerized as he undid her haori and hakama. It seemed record time and they fell back on his futon. Yuuta was busy memorizing her taste and scent. He was so curious because she was scenting less inu and more something else but when he slipped inside of her; she cried out in an anguished sob. Never could he have imagined that the trouble making princess be such an amazing onna. He never dreamed she could be so passionate nor so loving. It was obvious to him that she loved him very much. Her climax had him reeling and it was powerful and the yoki so damn unreal. He fell away from her with his chest heaving.

 

“When do we?” He asked out of breath.

 

“It does not matter. This should not have happened.” She said with a heavy heart.

 

“Why because I am dead?” Yuuta asked.

 

“Stop it Yuuta!” She growled out in anguish.

 

“It is obvious that it pains you. It is obvious that something amazing happens between us. It is also obvious to me that I become madly in love with you too.” He said narrowing his eyes.

 

“Enough to defy my father.” She whispered.

 

“You know our past.” He said in understanding.

 

“I know it all. You are right and my sire does spoil me too much. It is not because I am a female but because he wants me to know that I am loved. Natsumi and Touga did not show him that. He was the heir and nothing else. He did not want my status to interfere with my feeling love. Please also know that he spoils Yuzuna to pieces as well. They share a unique bond and she can get him to smile often.” Asuna said smiling softly.

 

“Sesshomaru smile?” Yuuta asked incredulously.

 

“Hai. She is good at it. You know how he will speak in third person. She will mock him lightly with it. He lets her get away with it too. He loves her dearly and she just delivered her second son. Chichi loves her boys too.” She stated looking away.

 

“I do not know my daughter do I?” He asked suddenly quite bitter.

 

“She is young when you pass. Yuudai raises her as a daughter. She knows you are her sire and she can be found at your shrine daily talking with you as it were. She is devoted to you. So is Yuudai and Yuuto.” She said looking down.

 

“Wrong!” He growled.

 

“I am sorry.” She said with tears.

 

“I am no warrior, so how do I die?” He demanded.

 

“It is because of me.” Asuna said.

 

“Your enemies come after me?” Yuuta demanded.

 

“They came after Yuzuna. They came after my inu heir and you died for her. You hid her in the palace walls and she found you later. She was almost three and she would not leave your side.” Asuna said as tears fell down her face.

 

“Where were you?” He asked.

 

“Fallen in battle.” She said wiping her eyes.

 

“Stop it. Do not let it happen. I want to know my daughter.” He implored her.

 

“Yuuta.” She said suddenly standing.

 

“Why are you here then?” He asked.

 

“I am trying to save my present along with the past. Akemi and her whole family are killed along with others. I have a long list.” She said leaning against a wall.

 

“Then why not add to it?” He demanded.

 

“I know not if it will change. Some things are fated that I cannot change no matter how hard I try. If the Fate Kamis decide that it is your time then it is your time.” She said perplexed.

 

“You are Lord Sesshomaru's daughter. You are the first female ever to be named heir to the Western title and you cannot face down these Kamis? You are here! I am being selfish but save me!” He growled.

 

She stared at him and she knew would do it. She knew herself and she would complicate her life because it was what she was best at. She sighed as she stared out into the Chinese countryside and wondered what the hell she was now getting herself into.
