Facing Hate

Yuzuna was feeding Uzuru and she had a small smile on her face. Uchuu was watching her and it was a lovely thing. She was happy and that made him happy he found. He also found himself to be well liked by the current Western lord and that made his beautiful mate happy. He was named her consort and it boggled his mind.

“He is a glutton my darling Uchuu.” She said sleepily.

“Then he is my son.” Uchuu smiled.

“Do you mind if I go into Soul Society tonight?” She asked.

“I have no care. Your shinigami husband has a right to see you as well.” He said cupping her cheek.

“You make me hungry and so happy at the same time.” Yuzuna stated staring at his eyes.

“Do I?” He chuckled.

“Zuna!” She heard from down the hall.

She saw her mother walk in and she saw her face. Uchuu bowed his head and Asuna bowed hers.

“Haha what is wrong?” Yuzuna asked.

“I was in the past on recon and I ran into your sire.” She said in a numb tone.

“You ran into Chichi?” She asked shocked.

“Hai.” Asuna said in a haunted tone.

“Well what happened?” Yuzuna said upset.

“Stupid question daughter. You know I loved him.” She said growling.

“I know you did. I know you love him very much but did you tell him of me? What did he say? Does he wish to know about me?” She asked.

“Hai to all but Yuzuna damn it! It is complicated. Yuuta is not like Yuudai at all.” She said standing.

Uchuu listened with interest and Asuna was tearing herself apart.

“Haha, I want to see him and actually speak to him.” She said leaning forward.

“NO!” Asuna snarled.

“Why?” She cried softly.

“Because Yuudai is the man that raised you and if I cannot save him, I will not have him devastated by this! Do you understand me?” She growled out.

“It is not right! It is not fair. I am the only one that did not know their sire! I am the only one!” She screamed.

“Yuzuna, I am sorry.” Asuna said suddenly leaving.

Uzuru began to whimper and whine as his mother cried softly. Uchuu took his son and he growled softy to calm him down and Yuzuna stormed after her mother.

“I have a right Kamis damn it! I am sorry if that offends you! I am the one that sat in his blood for hours Haha! NOT YOU, ME!” Yuzuna screamed.

Asuna turned and glared at her look alike daughter. She slapped her and Sesshomaru came out of his study. His beloved heir and her own heir were arguing terribly.

“You do yourself ill Yuzuna. He was my mate and I loved him dearly. I had to face your jii-chan's wrath to be with him! I had to make a choice between Yuudai and him. I chose him!” Asuna snarled.

“Another reason I should know him Haha. You loved him so much. What was it that made him different from Yuudai? You grew up with my brother and yet you loved my Chichi so much!” She cried.

Tears streamed down her face and guilt ripped through her. This was one thing she could not get over Kaimei had done and yet she cared for the Tomoshibi greatly. She snarled in annoyance and stormed out of the palace. Sesshomaru went to follow but it was Yuzuna who caught up to her.

“Haha please!” She yelled.

Asuna went to Yuuta's shrine and she fell against it. Yuzuna watched her mother fall apart and it was horrendous to see. She was crying bitterly against the stone marker and wailing loudly.

“Haha?” She asked softly.

“I used to sneak into his chambers when I was very young. I was enthralled with him. I loved Yuudai but Yuuta was so handsome. He was so elegant and he was everything I was not. He was almost always dressed beautifully and the bitches at court wanted him. His hair was long and silver; it came to his middle back. He would wear it loose sometimes and Kamis I would get so red and flushed. He was so unbelievably beautiful my girl. He could speak and he would make your skin erupt in goose flesh just by talking. When you were a small pup; he would sing you to sleep. He always wanted a daughter and you were so wanted by us both.” She said reaching for her.

Tears fell from Asuna's eyes and Yuzuna's as well. Uchuu and Sesshomaru stood back and the Western Lord still felt bitterness at the former head of his council.

“Will you share some memories please?” Yuzuna begged.

Asuna nodded and her daughter came to her and hugged her tightly. They both sobbed heavily and Asuna closed her eyes tightly.

She was running in the high grass the surrounded the palace and the palace complex. She was going to go see Yuudai. She was excited as they were back from Kyoto finally. The House of Yuu went every summer for a month and she hated it. She was forty four years old and she was so sick of pining away for her numb skull best friend. Asuna ran into the Yuu Caste and she flew through the home and she heard the boys outside.

“I am coming Yuudai!” She yelled happily.

“Princess! Stop running!” Yuuta called annoyed.

“Sorry!” She yelled back.

She managed not to knock anything over this time and she ran to see her best friend. He grinned at his “chuusin” and she at her “karuson”. She ran into his arms and they hugged tightly.

“You really must tell your father that I cannot do without my Karuson.” She griped.

“When does Sir Yuuta listen to anyone but Lord Sesshomaru?” Yuudai snorted.

“Well he is arrogant my father says.” She said haughtily.

“I guess. Come on! Let us go hunt.” He said dragging her.

“Okay! Just a minute, I forgot something inside.” She said slyly.

“Hurry up knobby knees!” Yuudai smirked.

“I am going to rip you up jack ass!” Asuna hissed.

He took off in a run and she moved with stealth back inside. She knew of the secret passages and she went to see if Yuuta had changed out of his traveling clothes. She may not always like the father of her best friend but she really liked to look at the elegant looking male. She was spying and she caught sight of his long silver hair. She clamped her teeth shut and he was changing. Asuna had to steel herself and he was really beautiful to gaze upon. He was also a hard ass father and politician. He was well liked and he took his responsibilities very seriously. His sons loved him but he was extremely stern for such a young chichi. He was cleaning up from the traveling and he was changing into pale blue silk. She shut her eyes as she caught sight of all of his body. He was dressed casually and he went on about his business. Asuna snuck back out and she was breathing hard. Sir Yuuta was absolutely gorgeous.

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

He was staring at the remains of his hot spring and he was in disbelief. He stared at Yuudai and Yuuto and they looked pensive.

“Why? Boys why?” He asked in anger.

“We did not mean to father. It was an accident.” Yuudai said softly.

“It is always an accident Yuudai. Always when the princess is around. Somehow or someway I end up having to pay some costly repair that you or that girl is responsible for! The lord does nothing and it is my responsibility!” Yuuta growled.

“Chichi, I am sorry sir. We were only tussling.” Yuudai said shrugging.

Yuuta clenched his handsome jaw and he actually struck Yuudai in his. His oldest son looked outraged but stayed respectful. He went to do it again when he heard nasty growling.

“Princess this is a family matter. Back away and go home.” Yuuta said in fury.

“Do not hit him again Sir Yuuta.” Asuna said in anger.

“He is my son and he is still an adolescent young miss! You would do well if your own sire were to actually discipline you some!” He snarled.

“I am still your princess.” Asuna said staring up at the statesmen.

Yuuta lost his head and grabbed the Western heir and actually threw her over his knee. He was furious with her for interfering and furious with her for costing him so much of his hard earned income. He proceeded to beat her backside quite hard and she was screaming in fury. Yuudai was in shock at his father and Yuuto was suppressing laughter. Yuuta released the princess and she was snarling and growling at him like the little spit fire she was.

“When you are in my home little lady, you will honor me with the correct honorifics and you will say, Yes sir. You will not disobey me and you will not back talk me!” He yelled.

“Yes sir.” She said with a trembling lip.

“Now Princess Asuna, I said go home.” Yuuta growled.

She looked at Yuudai and she stomped off. He knew he may have hell to pay from the lord but he would not be treated like a moron by anyone's pup in his own castle. He sighed and he finished up his discipline of his sons. He was in need of sake and Lady Nagomi was due anytime now. His lover was fair and he enjoyed her but it was court entertainment. He shook his head at the brazen little tart that was the Western heir and wondered what male could handle her.

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

“Listen missy, I know you are tired but you have to push really hard. How long have you been in labor?” he asked her gently.

“More than twelve hours. Save her Yasu, do not worry on me.” Asuna said rolling her head to the side.

“I am not going to loose either one of you! You Kaito make yourself useful and get Sir Yuuta. There is a council meeting.” Yasu commanded.

“Be right back Hanori.” Kaito said looking concerned.

“Alright my girl push really, really hard.” He commanded.

“I cannot.” She said tired.

“Asuna! I mean it girl, push really hard.” He said getting nervous.

She sat up and tried to bare down but it was useless. Yasu looked more concerned and she laid back.

“Her name is Yuzuna. Cut her out Yasu.” Asuna whispered.

“She is stuck. Kamis damn it!” he snarled.

She heard Yuuta and her family coming. Her mother flew in and she looked terrified. The Western Lord's eyes widened in horror and Yuuta about lost it.

“Baby, honey you have to stay awake. Honey, do not sleep.” Asuna heard her mother say.

“Cut her out.” She told Yasu in a hoarse whisper.

Yasu nodded and Asuna looked over at Yuuta. She reached out her hand and kissed his palm.

“I want her named Yuzuna. Do this for me?” She asked softly.

“Hai but you will name her yourself. Asuna, please do not die on me.” He said holding her hand tightly.

Asuna smiled and looked at her sire. His eyes were hard and full of hatred. She grimaced and cried out as Yasu cut into her belly. Her mother held her and her vision was swimming.

“Chichi? I love you my lord.” Asuna said trying in vain to stay awake.

She saw Yasu pull her out and she was blue. He rubbed her skin vigorously and Yuzuna let out a cry. The pool of blood continued to widen around the Western heir. The newest princess was screaming and Lady Asuna fell limp as she was felled by her greatest enemy to date; childbirth.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna had shared but at the moment the memories were tearing her up. Memories were painful and she ported to Lei of all places. He had been sleeping and she crawled into bed with him and their children. Shen and Lifen were sucking on their thumbs as they snuggled with their sire. Lei woke up and stared at her. He saw her face and he carefully got up and jerked his head to the other room. She followed him and he held her closely.

“Why did you show her if it tears you up so badly?” He asked.

“Our bond was open?” She asked shocked.

“Yes. It is most of the time. You torture yourself for what reason? I admit he was something yummy.” Lei said brushing her hair away from her face.

She laughed suddenly and he smiled as he kissed her lips. She kissed him again and he groaned as he tasted his wife. He had not had her in almost a month and it made him nuts. She nodded yes and their clothes were gone. He lifted her up and he would talk and make love to her he decided. Asuna was immersed and he was still smitten.

“I say we go back and save the beautiful dog man. Why not?” He asked nuzzling her neck.

“Fate may have…” She started to say.

“Fuck that.” He growled softly.

“Lei.” Asuna growled back.

They finished without anymore speech and they were shaking hard as they felt the other's bliss.

“I especially like your incubus. He is an interesting fellow.” He stated as he let her down.

“Lei, I am tired.” She said leaning against him.

“Yes so am I. Our babies are sleeping at the moment so shall we join them?” Lei asked giving her a dazzling smile.

“You are incorrigible.” She laughed softly.

“Yes I am.” He said kissing her.

“I love you.” Asuna murmured.

“I know.” He said pulling her along.

He knew exactly what she needed and she knew exactly how to calm her. She had come to the right place at the moment and she fell asleep with her wraith husband and their two small children.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She had returned to the past and she was hidden well. She had come later in her own life and she was on the continent at the moment fight Katashi with Yuudai. Asuna saw him and he was wearing formal black hakama and haori. He was chatting with several other noblemen at the moment and several palace bitches were eyeing him. She was wearing a pale blue hanfu with royal blue edging. The bodice had large flowers on it and her hair was down. She stepped out and Yuuta turned to see her. The other bitches' jaws dropped and they were all surprised to see the Western princess.

“Hello Sir Yuuta. Sir Jouichi and Sir Yahun.” She said bowing her head.

“Lady Asuna? We had heard you were on the continent.” Yahun said surprised.

“I have recently developed yoki to port sir. Sir Yuuta may we speak?” Asuna asked bowing.

“Yes my lady.” He said bowing.

They appeared quite calm and he was uncertain of her origin. They walked down a little used hallway of the palace and she turned to him.

“Recently developed the ability to port?” He asked cautiously.

“Several centuries ago actually.” She said wryly.

He dropped pretense and he pulled her to him. He stood a little taller then her and stared down at the gorgeous female.

“You come to me now when you are an adult. Do you know how hard it is for me?” He asked in a husky tone.

“No.” She said softly.

“Onna you steal my heart.” Yuuta said as if in a trance.

“I wanted to talk to you.” She said so distracted.

“Hai. Talk. I am listening.” He said brushing his lips along her cheeks.

“Yuuta!” She hissed softly.

“Do you expect to not touch my mate?” He asked as he very softly nipped her lips.

“I know not what I expect. Oh Kamis! Hai.” She groaned as his lips grazed her neck.

“I know you are less and less inu now. I dream of you every night. I have dreamed of touching you since that night. I dream of meeting her.” He said fully kissing her.

“Yuuta, I would speak to you of her.” Asuna said shutting her eyes.

“Hai.” He whispered as he lifted her lips to his.

“Cannot think when you do that.” She admitted.

“I do not want you to think. I want you to feel.” He stated as his lips grazed hers.

Memories from her childhood pressed in on her and she growled loudly. Yuuta still could not believe that the defiant and waifish onna had become such a sultry siren. Asuna was loosing all manner of thought and she ported them to his castle. He immediately began undressing her and she went to removing his rich silks.

“Who is your lover at this time?” She asked in a daze.

“Why would I touch another bitch?” He asked offended.

“Yuuta! I do not expect fidelity.” She smiled.

“Look at me.” He stated holding her jaw lightly in his elegant hand.

“What?” Asuna asked softly.

“I am inu. I know you are not but I am. I will act as I am. I expect myself to act as I am.” He murmured.

“Yuuta, you and Wakana had an open mating.” She said shaking her head.

“Because I cared for her and I did not love her. I did not expect her to remain faithful or myself because our parents wished an alliance. We admired and respected each other enough to be discrete. I love you and I expect it of myself.” He explained running his thumbs along her lips.

Her lips kissed his thumbs and she undid his black silks. She bared his skin and she sucked in her breath.

“Yuuta.” She breathed in as she pressed her lips to his chest.

“Please act yourself. Show me what it is you are now my beautiful onna.” He whispered.

She groaned as she nipped at his skin. He sighed softly as she continued to just kiss his flesh. They slowly lay down on his futon and her lips pressed to his belly. His grey eyes were filled with tremendous passion as she nipped his sculpted belly. His face contorted softly as she brushed her lips against his member and then his scrotum. Asuna's face was covered in need as she licked underneath his stiffness.

“Feels so good.” He moaned softly.

“Does it? You used to make me crazy you know.” She whispered as she pressed her lips firmly to him.

“Did I? How so?” He asked as she continued to tease him.

“Your experience. You always made sure that I was beyond satisfied and made sure I was sated before you even contemplated yourself.” She whispered.

“Oh.” He said dumbly.

“Does this surprise you?” She asked.

“I thought it normal.” He replied and then gasped.

Asuna bit off her claws on her right hand and he looked at her puzzled. She lowered her head again and she was suddenly giddy that she could please him so well. Yuuta was absolutely no stranger to pleasures of the flesh and the Western Court was just as licentious as any other Asian court of this era. He was suddenly gripping the silk covers of his futon and he was sweating. The Western heir was doing things he had never even contemplated and he snarled out. He moaned when the pleasure became unreal and she was stroking his member as well.

“My darling please, please!” He begged.

“Relax. Do not fight it. I promise.” She whispered reverently and then swiped the head of his erection with her tongue.

His mind was more then primitive and his eyes were burning. He was panting and he totally relaxed into her ministrations. Yuuta had never encountered anything like this before. He actually bowed his body as he released a strangled cry as he had a blinding climax. He caught the most erotic thing he had ever seen and Asuna had wrapped her lips around him. He felt drained totally but it truly had been the most pleasurable experience of his life. She let him finish and she slowly and carefully pulled back.

“Mate.” He growled out.

“Hai.” She acknowledged.

“We want you.” He growled low.

She nodded and she crawled into his lap but she gave his body time to recover. He scented along her neck and their lips met violently. This onna made his blood boil and he suddenly pushed her back. His beast was not under control at all and he was harshly nipping and kissing along her neck. His lips found a tip and he barely suckled it to cause unbearable teasing. She was groaning and wiggling underneath him. He grabbed her hips to hold her down so that he could pleasure her. Yuuta was driven to taste and explore her fully. She had lost her masking and he scented an inu pup. His eyes met hers and as he spread her open wide.

“Who has you now?” He demanded.

“Yuuta it is no matter.” She sighed softly.

“It matters to me.” He said gently slipping a finger inside of her.

She arched a little and he found her sweet spot. He was as ruthless as she had been till she dissolved.

“His name onna.” He whispered.

“Chang. His name is Changming.” She groaned as he lowered his head to suckle her.

“Is he handsome?” He asked as he ran his tongue along her weeping entrance.

“Hai but it does not matter.” She groaned.

“It does. Does he love you?” Yuuta asked.

“Hai.” She moaned out loudly.

“I love you too you know. He will have a girl too but my baby girl is your heir.” He said again sucking on her nub.

“Yuuta, my mother is not a normal uppyr. She is a succubus and so am I. I cannot stay with one or I will kill one male! Tekeshi understood this long ago about me.” She said gasping harder.

“You are a legendary empusae?” He asked very softly as he continued his assault of her senses.

“Hai. I am one.” She nodded and her body was going to explode mightily.

“So you need me and my blood at this moment?” Yuuta asked in a seductive whisper.

“Hai. Please hai.” She groaned.

He used his own claws and cut across his juncture. He hauled her up and pulled her down his stiff member as she latched onto his neck. She was in a bliss of rare form and he guided her towards ecstasy. She may have done new things with him but Yuuta was still one of the most sensual creatures she had ever known. His mind was going and she was in her own raptures to really listen. He was a smart man and he loved this onna. He knew what it would take. He wished to save himself for his family and he was damned if he would loose out on his daughter. He was now positive he had seen her once and he was smitten with the idea of her. She was lovelier then he had a right to know and she was simply the most powerful inu bitch he knew. This onna was no longer really just an inu. Her massive climax triggered his own and he held onto her tightly. He could not stop himself from marking her and she had already marked him. He was panting and he was literally loosing conscious. He let himself pass out with the love of his life in his arms.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She came to and she felt good. She always felt good after having made love to this amazingly intelligent man. He too slowly came too and he looked over at her.

“Good morning.” He said.

“Good morning.” Asuna stated.

“I have given thought to what happens. When do I die? Who is your enemy?” He asked running a hand up her leg.

“The Shouten. I am still fighting them and it has gotten worse.” She admitted.

“Okay. I will research what they are. This male that has fathered this pup. Where is he?” Yuuta asked.

“He is in Western Qinghai now why?” She asked.

“I wish to know is all Asuna. I admit to a tad bit of jealousy but I am an inu male. What is this other pup?” He asked pressing on her belly.

“She is empusae.” She said watching him.

“You are having a nearly pure succubus?” He asked surprised.

“Hai. Her sire's name is Sebastein.” Asuna replied.

“Okay. I shall not forget this for as long as I live. I do believe you have spoiled me. You are a delight to converse with and an amazing partner in the bedroom.” He said standing.

Asuna watched and smiled at his candidness. He was dressing in lounging clothes and he was staring at her pregnant belly.

“You are a stunning bitch.” He said softly.

“Thank you.” She said smiling.

“Kamis I could stare at you all day. You said that our daughter has two sons.” He said as he dressed in green silks.

“Hai. She is married to a shinigami in Soul Society which is sort of the afterlife and she met an inu boy when Chichi sent us back to Touga. His name is Uchuu and they just had a boy pup named Uzuru.” Asuna explained.

“She has a touch of you in her?” He asked as he tied his stays.

“Hai. She drove Yuudai nuts because she would not settle down. She met Uchuu because she had delivered a still born pup. She was despondent.” Asuna sighed.

He made a face and sighed himself. He sat down on the futon and watched her.

“I want to see her.” He said cupping her cheek.

“We just fought. She is demanding the same thing. I do not want to hurt Yuudai who loves her fiercely. Do you understand?” Asuna asked.

“But she is my pup. She is my girl whom I sired with you. Yuudai was passed on correct?” He asked.

“Hai. How do you know any of this?” She asked.

“Surmising my dear. I figured you two would mate at some point. It was a matter of time. You two do love each other but I see it as fleeting.” He said honestly.

She was stunned and outraged but he pressed a finger to her lips.

“I am sorry but I feel that way. I know not but when I saw you on that beach and to learn what I have. You wept with such emotion. I have seen rage at me before Asuna but not anything like that. Not love or passion. You showed both that day. Deny it and I will quiet down.” Yuuta stated.

“I cannot deny it. I denied Yuudai for you.” She said suddenly uncomfortable.

“Why was that?” He asked.

“Because I do not know!” She growled.

“Because perhaps I am one of those that has touched you deeply. I am one of your closer loves perhaps?” He asked.

“Hai!” She snarled.

“It makes you uncomfortable till your modern day because you still feel as such. My death affected you in such a way and it must have left a wound but also relief. You did not have to make a decision anymore as it was made for you by your enemies. I do not say that to say you wished it on the contrary but you have not attempted to rectify simply because it was too painful.” Yuuta reasoned.

She hated how smart he was and how he had always hit the nail on the head. She had not attempted to bring Quon back either and that was simply because the strength of her emotions for the tiger prince. Asuna looked away and she was shaking hard.

“You learned to deal with the pain and grief and make it apart of who you were. You learned to deal with it so you could deal with your morality. I know you very well. I may have thought you a brat as a young girl but I learned how you were. You have grown into a magnificent onna and I am madly in love with you as much or more so then Yuudai.” Yuuta stated.

“Shut up Yuuta! Everyone has always accused me of speaking too much but it is you.” She said wiping away tears.

“I am a statesman Asuna. How do I make my career, I talk.” He smiled warmly.

She fell into his arms and she wept bitterly. She was held by him and she let him comfort her. Asuna was not paying attention and she was letting herself know the familiar.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Maec had found the little tart after hunting her through the centuries. Sanra was furious with him and they had come to nasty blows. He loved his sister but damn she was acting like a jealous mate. He found her amongst a throng of corporeal dog daemons. She was lying on a chaise and she was wearing an off white hanfu. His mouth watered and he could feel conflicting auras coming from her. He had to use all of his powers to conceal his presence and stay hidden amongst the shadows. A silver haired male came in and leaned over her and kissed her. Fury ripped in his gut and thoughts of murdering the corporeal bastard made him giddy. Asuna sat up and she looked around. He had slipped and he cursed inwardly.

“Yuuta go.” Asuna said growling.

“What is it?” He asked.

“Shouten.” She hissed.

“Here? Now?” He asked shocked.

“Hai!” She said looking around.

Yuuta stepped away from her and she was looking around. Maec was being sneaky but she was somehow looking pretty damn close at him. She suddenly grabbed him within her yoki and threw him into the physical plane. He whirled around and grinned at the beautiful strumpet.

“It took me forever to find you. What have you been doing my pet?” He asked watching her.

“None of your business asshole.” She hissed.

“Make another move corporeal and your dead.” Maec threatened.

Asuna moved between Maec and Yuuta. She extended her hand and Konkisaiga appeared. Yuuta's eyes widened. Maec morphed a limb but he wanted her intact. She moved fast and released a nami that threw Maec through the wall of Yuuta's office. He coughed up a little blood and cursed her damnable powers. Yuuta was gone and she breathed relief. She could fight better with Maec and he was entranced.

“What got to you this time? Not Hanaj hmm? That actually makes me quite mad. I am going to have to rip that bond apart as much as I love my son but no tr'Awnhi but me shall possess you.” He said as his eyes flashed.

“Oh? They laced my blood with their toxin and they cannot figure out how you manage to drink of me.” She growled.

“My secret. You think I shall tell you how I survive?” He asked smirking.

“You cannot undo a binding.” Asuna stated.

“You are not Shouten my dear and you do not know all of our secrets.” He said suddenly coming up behind her.

He grabbed her arm and twisted it painfully behind her and she growled and snarled like an animal.

“Shall I take you right here? Sanra and I are actually fighting over you.” He chuckled.

“Do not fight your lover over an enemy.” She hissed.

“Oh no. I am fighting my lover over taking another lover. She does not like that idea.” He purred in her ear.

“Do you not mean a rape victim?” She snarled.

“I have not taken you against your will. You have exploded every time I touch you.” Maec said lewdly.

“You are a very good cad Maec but I assure Hanaj does not have to beg me to come for him. We beg each other so sweetly as we take each other in our other forms.” She taunted.

Maec lost his temper and he shoved her away. The idea that his young man of a son could make this woman happy was unsettling to him and he was not happy about at all.

“You and Hanaj will not last another day together I assure you. I will have the bond destroyed so that my son will be freed from you. You say that you gave him a son? I should take this boy.” Maec said in a nasty tone.

“You will not touch a pup of mine!” She snarled.

“Yet you corrupt my own child? I think I shall. You are from a far distant era that I have been unable to attain but I am sure Raganos is alive. My son will obey my will. He is dumb boy but loyal.” Maec laughed.

She went wild and she started snarling in fury.

“How many Shouten children have you born then? Are they all Shouten?” He asked suddenly intrigued.

“None of your fucking business!” She shouted.

“This Khellian I know of. Have you given Shan Lao any? Wait you went ballistic when I mentioned his brat. I bet you are mated to that boy. Given Lei Jing a child or two perhaps?” Maec said grinning.

Her eyes bled entirely red and she was snarling as her features roughened.

“How many wraith babes have you had? Answer me!” He said nearing her.

“I said none of your fucking business. I am going to deliver on my promise and rip your testicles from your body and shove them down your throat!” Asuna snarled.

“I can get to my son Raganos. It may not be easy but I can do it. See you dear.” He said phasing out.

Asuna jumped up and scrambled. Maec was not dumb and she ran. Yuuta came out and he saw her panicked look.

“He is going after my Shouten pups. Yuuta I have to go. Stay safe for now. I will return. I promise.” She said quickly.

He nodded and she ported to Fuji. She called on Kaimei and he appeared. He looked confused but she shook her head. He made a portal and she stepped through. Kazaki was in the present era and in Soul Society at the moment. Kaito was still on the outs and she saw him occasionally. She appeared in the modern era and she ported to Britain. She stepped through the in between and she yelled for Lei. He appeared and he saw the look on her face.

“What is wrong?” he asked.

“Maec! He said he cannot get to us here but Raganos can. He said he can destroy a bond with Hanaj. Hanaj! Where are you?” She yelled.

The former tr'Awnhi prince appeared and he looked groggy. He yawned and smiled at his lovely mate. She had kept most of the details of what had happened with Maec a secret but he was fixing to know.

“Your father now knows about Khellian.” She said.

“What do you mean?” He asked surprised.

“I mean he knows. He also ascertained that I am mated to Lei. He says he has tried to figure out what era I come from but he cannot reach me. He said he would use Raganos.” Asuna said.

“He will use Raganos to try and take the children.” Hanaj said darkly.

“What does he mean he can destroy a bond?” She asked.

“It cannot be done without driving one mad. I have never heard of it.” Hanaj stated.

“Yet you have never heard of another Shouten being able to withstand another's poison either.” She said in a temper.

“My father was involved into some dark things. Perhaps it is dark magics.” He said shuddering.

Hatham and Neral both heard the ruckus and Asuna saw them. She had come to respect the tall Shouten scientist. He was obviously mad about Ayana and his twin was a sidekick. He was also a scientist and they watched the small group.

“Maec.” Hanaj mumbled.

“He was involved in very ancient things that are no longer really known of.” Hatham stated.

“Magic?” Asuna said throwing up her hands.

“Yes.” Neral answered.

“Hatham and Neral can you two please go to the Matsuda-Yamasaki Corporation HQ in Tokyo? Ayana is there and she can lead you to the facilities. I need some modern answers to these “magics” of Maec, please.” Asuna asked.

“Right away Lady Asuna.” Hatham said bowing.

Neral followed his brother and they phased away. Hanaj had left to get his son and he was feeling very homicidal all of a sudden. He hated his father with a passion. He hated his brother as well. Asuna was holding back on him and he hated that too.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ayana was miserable. She was very pregnant and very pregnant with yet another kumo and wraith. Chikara knew and he handled it. He was amazing and looked forward to the birth. Hatham and him had sat down to discuss things and they had reached an understanding not step on toes. She was happy and Chikara was happy. If Chikara knew what Riku was doing then he would be most unhappy. She showed Hatham and Neral into the lab and her wraith mate looked around like a child in a candy shop.

“Excited much?” She asked smirking.

“Yes! These facilities are incredible!” He said giddy.

Neral was quiet and his attraction was killing him. Ayana watched him and he looked away. The kumo princess was convinced he hated her. He would not speak to her and Hatham tried to get him to. Neral kept to himself and Ayana was getting angrier and angrier.

“Hatham go on over there. Soren has been here as well. Zuki has been looking into different toxins that may affect the Shouten.” She said.

“Yes. Neral?” Hatham asked.

“Just a second darling. I have some DNA scans to show him.” Ayana said.

He nodded and he went over to a microscope. Neral stared at her and she was suppressing her growls.

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

“Nothing.” He said looking away.

“What do you mean? You are making him miserable! I went back because he was miserable and now he is still miserable!” She growled low in her throat.

“I owe you nothing Ayana. I thanked you for saving my life. Hatham is my twin and I will deal with my twin as I see fit.” He said coldly.

“He is my mate!” She snarled.

He lost his temper and Neral suddenly phased them out to a countryside somewhere. Her eyes widened and he looked furious.

“He is your mate yes but he is my identical twin down to our cell structure. Do not dare speak to me as such!” He hissed.

“What is your problem? I thought you two together would make you both happy!” She cried.

“I am happy with my brother.” Neral replied in a soft tone.

“Then what?” Ayana asked in a severe voice.

“You! It is you who is my problem!” He growled.

“What have I done to you?” She asked.

Neral was suddenly in front of her and her heart stopped. Juria's words came crashing back and she was staring up at his handsome face.

“Hatham is the better man. I know this and you are my problem because I wish to know what it is like to be with you.” He stated reaching and touching her lips with his fingers.

“Neral, I am sorry.” She said looking away.

“So I treat you indifferently. If I treat you indifferently then perhaps I will not wish to drive myself into your beautiful soul and meld with you.” He said stepping back.

“I have sisters.” She said stupidly.

“I am sure they are lovely. Your doctor sister is gorgeous but it is you I want.” He said without thought.

Ayana stood there in shock and she was rooted.

“It is bound to happen and it happens often for identical twins. Please do not be offended by this.” He stated clenching his teeth.

“It happened to my mother.” She said in a horrified tone.

“What happened?” He asked curiously.

“One brother used the other to sire my sister Saaya. They both now hate my mother and she hates them both.” Ayana said in a wretched tone.

“The Moth Lords.” He said nodding.

“You know of them?” Ayana asked.

“Yes. I did not know of the Moth Princess's mother but I had heard that there was controversy.” He said looking down.

“Saaya refers to herself as sin.” She said softly.

“Incorrect statement on her part. It is her father's responsibility. I imagine the two share her as if they are both the one that sired her?” Neral asked.

“Hai. She said they are impossible.” Ayana laughed softly.

“Hatham and I have shared everything. We have shared lovers in the past as well.” He admitted.

“You have?” She asked.

“Yes. It was no thought. Mostly if it was a Shouten lover but occasionally a corporeal lover as he preferred them. I prefer the spiritual side myself but Hatham enjoys a seduction of the senses.” Neral stated pacing.

“He is sensual.” She admitted.

“You are different. He says your soul cries.” He stated bluntly.

“I lost two mates and a babe.” She said.

“Tragedies. I am sorry.” He said getting more agitated.

“What bothers you Neral about me?” Ayana asked bothered.

“I am taking you back now.” He said taking her hand.

Ayana pressed her lips to his palm and his light eyes roved over her. He hissed and he was doomed. Ayana was felled onto her back and Neral was kissing her. She was shocked as he would not be stilled. He split open the silk tunic style shirt she wore. He gazed upon her bra and he phased it away. Ayana tried to sit up but his hands cupped her beautiful mounds and he latched on. She realized they were in Hueco Mundo. He was licking one tip then moved his ebony head to the other. She groaned loudly and he looked up at her face.

“Hatham should be here. I should be within you as he touches and strokes your skin.” He said hoarsely.

“Neral.” Ayana said fighting back the raw lust.

“Call him. Please. I cannot betray my brother.” He said looking at her pleadingly.

She closed her eyes and she opened her bond with him. Hatham showed up. He recognized the area near their childhood home and he wondered what had taken his twin so damn long to warm up.

“Asshole.” Hatham growled.

“I was trying to do the right thing.” He said staring up.

“This is the right thing.” He said exasperated.

“What?” Ayana asked shocked.

“Ayana beloved. Surely you jest.” He said in disbelief.

“Hatham but I have a say.” She said growling.

“This coming from the descendent of Ayana the Great. Hush woman.” He smirked as he lowered himself and kissed her mouth.

Hatham proceeded to disrobe her and him and Neral felt relief flood him. He stared at his twin and he knew that it was okay to love this woman. He phased within her and the proceeding act of passion left them all beyond exhausted and Neral was more then smitten. He wanted what Hatham had. He was going to ask for the binding as well. Both took her in their true forms and then in the physical. It was beautiful and natural to them but the spideress was shaking in the incredible aftermath. Hatham was behind her and holding her while Neral was hunting hollows.

“This is just normal to you?” She asked.

“Yes. I know odd to you but he is apart of me.” He said playing with her breasts.

“I was never like this before.” Ayana said sighing.

“Because you were not like it before does not mean it is not okay Ayana. I love how your breasts are changing.” He said smirking as he buried his nose into her hair.

“Why is that?” She asked enjoying his closeness.

“I love to sink my fangs into their plushness.” Hatham said seductively.

“Typical male.” She snorted.

“Shoot me.” He laughed.

“No. Can you two work on what my mother wants?” Ayana asked.

“Yes. Now I know what has been bothering Neral. You may feel free and engage him anytime. I promise no jealousy.” He said running his claws lightly down her spine.

“Why is that?” She gasped.

“We are true twins Ayana. We split from the same cells. We have identical DNA. Neral and I are essentially the same.” He shrugged.

“It is true.” Neral stated.

Ayana looked up and shook her head. Yoshio already confused the two. She felt like a repeat of her own mother and she snuggled up to both of them. She wondered what the hell was in store for her and they stayed comfortable for a little while.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was pacing and Hanaj was pissed. She still was clammed up and Lei knew everything but the little fucker was staying quiet too.

“You know this silence is not golden and it infuriates me!” Hanaj said glaring at them both.

“What do you wish to know?” Lei asked.

“What happened with my father Asuna?” He demanded.

“I told you we faced each other. He figured out I knew you when I freed Bai. You fell that day if you remember.” She said.

“Yes, I remember bleeding out all of a sudden. It was horrendous actually as I was fairly young. I was barely a century old.” He said glaring.

“I am sorry. You were attended quickly as was I. Your father sank his fangs into my neck and said I tasted weird. I was under the impression that you two had laced me with your toxins.” She said crossing her arms.

“We did.” Hanaj snapped.

“I know I did. I enjoyed the hell out of it too.” Lei smirked.

“Lei, I am in no mood for your smart ass nature my friend.” The tr'Awnhi prince said in fury.

“Well get over yourself ass wipe.” He said being lewd.

They were getting annoyed with each other and they stared at her.

“I remember Aunt Sanra and my father arguing terribly at times Asuna. She would scream at him about someone. We were not allowed to know about it though. Were you the reason?” He demanded.

“I have no idea what your bitch aunt and horrible father argued about.” She snorted.

“My bitch mother remember Asuna.” Lei snorted in amusement.

“LEI!” Hanaj hissed.

“Of course. I shall let you be morose and interrogate our lovely mate like a criminal. Do not let him bully you too much my dear. I will come beat up on him.” Lei said kissing her.

She watched her Jing husband walk away and Hanaj was being pissy. He glared at her and he was shaking in rage.

“He is relentless Asuna. He takes whatever he wants. He is not right or natural. He would not think twice taking a mate from his son, even his favored son as he says.” Hanaj stated in rage.

“He is smart and fearsome but so are you.” Asuna stated.

“I am not my father's equal yet Asuna! Not yet and I am his strongest child. Do you not understand what I tell you? You are the strongest blood drinker outside of my own house I know and I do not know if you can best him.” He said shaking.

“I am not afraid of him.” She snorted.

“YOU SHOULD BE!” He yelled.

“Do not yell at me again.” Asuna snapped.

“If he says he can undo our bond then I do not doubt it. Asuna, I am afraid. Me!” He said shaking her.

“I go back armed tomorrow.” She said quitting his presence.

“I love you!” He yelled in anguish.

“I love you too idiot. I was once some Tomoshibi named Isha Sahen. Juria was Sana Sahen.” Asuna replied.

“Your original life was as a Sahen?” He asked totally shocked.

“Hai. I was apparently betrothed to Hasegawa Kaimei. Your father apparently had a thing for Juria as Sana.” She said.

“My father had a thing for anything he could get his dick into apparently.” He said disgusted.

“He was overtly bisexual.” Asuna replied.

“He was bisexual with a preference for female flesh.” He stated.

“Okay.” She said shaking her head.

“How do you know any of this Asuna?” He asked.

“I know Kaimei well from that era and Shan Lao has told me much. He was your sire's plaything as Maec called him.” She stated in disgust.

“No more. He showed us children a different side. He was almost loving with us.” He said looking away.

“Perhaps he did love you all and he was just a sick bastard everywhere else. You said he seemed to love your mother.” Asuna said.

“Perhaps it was an act and it was just his possessive nature.” Hanaj said looking away.

“Perhaps.” She said.

“Stay away from him.” Hanaj commanded.

“I will fight him.” She retorted.

“At the expense of Khellian, Lifen, and Shen?” He stated.

“Of course not!” She hissed.

“They are Shouten Asuna. They are not Tomoshibi but corporeal Shouten. Raganos may have heard of their birth but if my father left notes then he will begin a relentless search.” Hanaj snapped.

“He turned out Thei's son.” Asuna said in disbelief.

“Thei's son is a halfling. Soren is powerful to be sure but these are your children. Empusae Shouten? No my father would shit himself to get a hold of such beings.” He said leaving.

She intended to go back with a little more firepower and she would make Maec suffer. She ported to the company labs and she found Hatham. He was shaking his head and he looked up.

“I have no understanding of some of what your daughter and Soren have uncovered. This will take some time Lady Asuna.” He said in frustration.

“I understand.” She said.

“Uncle Maec had a weakness in his belly.” Hatham stated.

“I should know. I gave it to him.” She said cruelly.

“It never got fully well. The wound would fester at times.” He stated.

“Well good I hope it caused him great pain.” Asuna stated.

“It did. There were times he would lock himself away in his rooms.” He stated.

“Which of his siblings was your parent?” She asked.

“Our father was his brother. They were not close. We were just around.” He shrugged.

She nodded and she was insistent to get back to Yuuta. She did not like the idea of Maec knowing of him. Asuna ported to Fuji and Kaimei was there already. She spent some time with him and proceeded to yell at him about Yuudai and Yuuta and he appeared sheepish. He admitted he had a temper tantrum and he sent her back.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was feeling tired as hell as she watched Yuuta bathe. He smiled over at her and Asuna reached for him. They had been enjoying the other for awhile as she moved back and forth. She had managed to stalemate Maec from any more movements and she was confident at the moment. Chang was thrilled at having a little girl and he had an interior decorator designing a nursery. Asuna had chuckled that she was going to be more spoiled then she had been; Chang has said count on it.

“I need to go France.” She said leaning forward and kissing Yuuta.

“Okay. Your male Empusae needs to feed you?” He asked.

“He gets stupid retarded if I do not check in.” She rolled her eyes.

“Okay.” He stated as she kissed him.

She used her crystal once she reached the forest and she appeared in Bastian's townhouse. She was ambushed immediately and she whirled around. She shoved her claws through a succubus and grabbed her heart and yanked it from her chest. The brunette fell dead at her feet and she heard clapping. Danika was standing across the room.

“Bastard is not here. I came to kill him but I think he got word of it. Sly, sly Bastian Laurent.” She said frowning.

“Good for him.” She said glaring at her.

“I feel that thing.” Danika said in anger.

“I do too.” Asuna growled.

“Maec left word in his writings. He wants your brats. I suppose I could let this thing live.” She said sneering.

“You really think I would let you have my daughter?” Asuna asked.

“I think you do not have a choice grand daughter.” She laughed.

Asuna whirled and threw the heart and it hit Danika in the face. She snarled and Asuna was behind her. Dakkasou ate into her perfect skin and her grand daughter began to burn but Danika began to fry. Sebastein was suddenly home and he threw Danika with his mind. His lover's face was wrathful and Danika suddenly got a bright idea and Asuna was thrown with tremendous force away from Sebastein and hit a dresser.

“You whore!” He snarled at her.

“Nuh uh Bastian.” She laughed.

A nami ripped through her and she yelped in pain as blood poured down her front.

“I hate you!” Danika snarled.

Asuna was gripping her stomach and she was glaring at Danika. The blond was faster then he was and she appeared behind her. Asuna whirled around and shoved Konkisaiga as it appeared in her hand.

“You are in labor you fool.” She laughed gleefully.

“Not enough yet to where I cannot rip you up!” Asuna hissed.

“Oh look at that. You have blood running down your legs.” She said in mock sweetness.

Sebastein had grabbed a butcher knife and it whizzed right past Danika's head and she whirled around and a fireball went sailing at the incubus. Asuna gripped her stomach and yelped out.

“Good girl. I hope those nasty little bitches die.” Danika said ready to kick her.

Asuna did the only thing she could think of and she tore the other female's Achilles' tendon. Danika went down and Sebastein suddenly was on her and sank his fangs into her. She screamed in awful pain and flames erupted around her hand and she shoved it through the former king of their kind. Danika had to port and Sebastein gasped in pain as he neared Asuna.

“Asuna.” He said somewhere between a gasp and growl.

“Bastian. You have to help me.” She said twisting in pain.

“How? I am no doctor!” He said shaking.

“We are both injured. I need you to call someone Bastian. Is Aldwyn in England?” She said laying back.

“Oui.” He nodded.

She looked over and willed a phone into her hand and he dialed the overseas number with shaking hands. He spoke rapidly to the Welsh mixed dog daemon. Aldwyn ported in and he gasped. He had never seen Sebastein torn up like this and the blood was reminiscent of Yuzuna's birth.

“Aldwyn. Please go to Japan and get Nobu at Yamasaki General. Please hurry.” She said shutting her eyes.

“Okay.” He nodded.

Aldwyn ported and Sebastein held her hand and pressed a palm to her belly. She watched his face and a tear escaped.

“Nobu will help.” She whispered.

“It is too early.” He said shaking.

“I will have our daughter safely.” She said reaching for his face.

“Asuna.” He whispered.

She heard Nobu and he hissed. She let him open her thighs and he pulled her bottoms down. He checked her carefully and his hand came back bloody.

“Asuna, I am taking you to the hospital. Shinobu is there ready to work on Sebastein okay?” He said calmly.

“The girls?” She whispered.

“Are in distress. We can help them.” He said as he ported them via his shoki.

They appeared at the hospital and Nobu had her on an OR table. Nanami called Chang and Sebastein had been hurt pretty bad as well. Shinobu felt deep respect for the other male incubus and owed him in his mind. He hooked him up to IV's of blood. Sebastein was weak as he looked over at his lover. She was loosing so much blood and her daughter and one of her “official” mates were working fast. Nanami was cutting down fast as her father assisted her. Asuna rolled her head to the side and stared at Bastian.

“I will get her. I will not allow it to end here.” She whispered in French.

“She cannot possibly make it.” He said as his green eyes closed.

“Bastian.” She said choking.

“I am alright. I am sorry for this. I felt her approach and knew it was an ambush. I did not expect you just then.” He said as self hatred tore into him.

Nanami was following the conversation but she pulled out a brunette babe who was blue. She cut her cord and began rubbing her vigoursly. She gathered air and began shrieking. Sebastein looked over and he could see it was his child. She was screaming like nobody's business and Nanami smiled beneath her mask.

“She is pissed.” She said aloud.

“Why?” He said as tears poured down his face.

“She feels the cold. Here you go sweet girl. There is a blanket.” She said wrapping her up.

Asuna was passed out and Chang was ushered in. Nanami began working as her father was assisting. She reached in and pulled out a bloody inu infant. Chang was shaking and he was speechless. She had a quivering cry and he made a sigh of relief. Nanami handed her off to her father as she began to work on her mother.

“She will be okay oui?” Sebastein asked weakly.

“Your daughter or my mother?” Nanami asked.

“Both.” Chang asked.

“Hai. All three girls are going to be okay. Changming come here.” Nanami said as Nobu was cleaning up his pup.

His daughter had silver hair and she bore his golden eyes. She had his markings with the crescent moon and he lowered his head and kissed her tiny clawed hands.

“My perfect little Manami.” He said in a low whisper.

Nobu smiled softly and Nanami smiled. Her mother would love the name and Sebastein was helped up by Shinobu and he picked up his succubus sister.

“Celeste.” He whispered.

Her eyes were that of her mother and he thought her the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. She was whimpering and her sister began to whine too.

“They want each other.” Nanami stated matter of factly.

“Oui.” Sebastein stated as he allowed Shinobu to take Celeste.

The girls calmed as they were next to each other and Chang looked over at Sebastein. Nobu chuckled and he shook his head.

“Yep you two need to get to know each other now because those two are not separating.” He smiled.

“Hello.” Chang said nearing the incubus.

“Bonjour.” Sebastein stated nodding his head.

“I am Changming.” He said softly.

“Sebastein Laurent.” The incubus stated bowing his head.

“When you are released please come to my home in Sapporo. I have a nursery ready for Manami already. I will have a double crib installed for Celeste.” He said smiling.

“Oui. Thank you.” He said.

Sebastein was overwhelmed and he turned his head. He was taken to a private room and when he was alone he broke down. His baby was so beautiful and he wanted to hold her. Shortly she was brought to him and Nanami laid Celeste in his arms.

“She is sweet. Chichi adores her.” She said brushing her brown hair away from her face.

“She has the moon.” He said surprised.

“Hai. Chang will be here soon with Manami. She is beautiful.” Nanami said grinning.

“How is Asuna?” He asked softly.

“She is out but she will be okay. She is strong Sebastein and these two were easy on her body. One inu and one empusae. It was natural for her.” She said making faces at her sister.

“You are with child.” He said looking at her.

“Hai. I am having a little boy soon. Haha will be awake soon and she prefers to feed her babes herself at first. I was actually nursed for the first two years.” Nanami stated.

“Really?” Sebastein stated shocked.

“Hai. Ah there is Manami.” She said as Chang brought in his daughter.

Chang sat down and he began to growl softly to his pup. He was in heaven as he communed with the incubus and his daughter.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna woke up and she was on a heavy dose of Widow. She rolled over and Sebastein was there with a beautiful little girl who was sleeping. He too was sleeping and she stroked his mind. His green eyes opened and he gave her the most beautiful smile.

“I took the liberty of named her. I hope you do not mind.” He said softly.

“I do not mind. May I feed her?” Asuna asked.

“Oui.” He said standing and he lay her in his lover's arms.

Asuna arranged her and the little succubus latched on.

“Kamis she has got a sucking reflex.” She groaned.

“She is strong. I named her Celeste.” He said watching.

“It is a good name. So she is Celeste Orlovich-Laurent?” She asked.

“Why not just Celeste Laurent?” Bastian asked.

“I would like myself in there somewhere.” Asuna said snorting.

“I would prefer Celeste Jing-Laurent then.” He stated crossing his arms.

She nodded and he liked this. It felt good to have this conversation. He leaned forward and kissed her suddenly and she kissed him back. He slowly pulled back and he stared at her.

“She is so lovely. I am in love.” He said smiling.

“I am glad. There she goes. Would her Papa like to hold her. Manami is coming.” She said swaddling her.

He took Celeste and he knew without a doubt she was going to be stronger then Danika. He knew she would at least be as powerful as her mother. He kissed each cheek and he smiled like a fool. Chang spoke in inu and she nodded. His words were beautiful and he was being loving but discrete.

“Their room is ready. Mister Laurent are you ready to bring Celeste home?” He asked.

“Oui. Asuna you will be coming to Sapporo?” He asked.

She nodded and she kissed her inu pup several times and she demanded to hold Celeste. Sebastein was again overwhelmed to see her love for her daughters. She nursed them together until they both fell asleep. When they were done she let them be taken and she saw them off. Nobu helped her up and she got dressed slowly. He smiled at her and she kissed him softly.

“They are pretty girls. Chang is so happy that he is glowing. I do not think I have ever seen an inu glow before.” He chuckled.

“He has wanted a pup for a long time.” She nodded.

“So who attacked you this time?” He asked as she pulled on her expensive trouser jeans.

“Danika.” She replied.

Nobu made a noise and she was dressed. He gave her some more Widow and he ordered her to the girls. She smiled and she ported. She spent the day with her new daughters and she was sleeping in her between Sebastein and Chang. The girls were in a bassinet by the bed and suddenly Asuna was dragged off the bed. She yelped and she began striking her invisible attacker. Sebastein could see a Shouten and he snarled. Asuna could see it as well and she thought it was Raganos himself. She took her foot and smashed her heel into his face and he choked. The Shouten dropped her and it was Raganos. Sebastein was able to pull him into the physical plane and the Shouten king was trying like hell to throw the incubus off. Asuna jumped on Raganos and he smirked up at her.

“My father left implicit instructions.” He said smirking.

“Too fucking dumb to figure it out on your own?” Asuna asked as she sank her claws into his side.

He grunted in pain but he sank his own claws into her chest and she screamed as he flooded her with the ash shoki. Sebastein bit into Raganos and he was suddenly in horrendous agony. Asuna was twisting on the floor in pain as the shoki seared its way across her breast bone.

-Get her somewhere! - Sebastein snarled in Chang's head.

Raganos managed to morph his limb and impale Sebastein the floor. He was bleeding all over the bamboo floor and the wraith king managed to get up and he was wildly searching for the succubus female. The new babes were gone along with the dog male. He whirled around and kicked Sebastein into the wall and snarled in fury.

“Where would she go?” He demanded.

“Do not know.” He growled.

“Worthless creature.” He sneered and slashed him with his cold toxin.

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

Another Shouten appeared behind Changming and he released a sound wave. Asuna had to drop to the floor and cover her ears. One ear drum busted and the girls were being carried by a nanny. The pain in her chest was distracting her and she let loose a nami from her hands. The Shouten appeared suddenly behind her and she was grabbed painfully. He phased with her and she was fighting him. She was being dragged somewhere and the pain in her chest was searing. The traveling took almost an hour and she was thrown down on a floor. She looked around and she was in Astana and she was not in her era. Maec came out and he looked insanely furious. He knelt down by her and he stared at the Shouten that had brought her.

“Who did this?” He growled.

“His majesty Raganos.” The wraith said with a bowed head.

“Damn stupid boy!” Maec roared.

Asuna said nothing and Maec ripped open the shirt she wore. The Shouten left the area and Maec made a snarling noise. He ripped the bra open and lowered his head and sank his fangs. She cried out in pain as he was taking out the shoki.

“What the hell?” She whispered in agony.

He lifted his head and he actually looked concerned.

“My damn fool son injected his toxin near your heart. I care not what you are it will kill you eventually. Now shut up.” He hissed.

“Get your fangs off of me.” She yelled.

“You stupid woman if I do not then you will die. I am not done with you by any means and I refuse for Hanaj to succumb.” He said sinking his fangs again.

Maec was able to get the majority of the shoki out and it was going to scar. He felt like slapping his son around for his stupidity. He stared at the ridiculous breast binding and the shirt he had torn from her. She was no longer with child and he suddenly cupped her breasts.

“What are you doing?” She asked in a hiss.

“Curiosity actually. Yes, you are.” He said in a deeply husky tone.

He was flicking his thumb across a nipple and she was getting uncomfortable by his attentions. Maec was insane for her and he lowered his head and flicked his tongue across the sensitive bud.

“Stop. I hate you.” She hissed softly.

“I am tired of your words! You know nothing.” He said suddenly angry.

He picked her up and phased her to his room. He laid her on his bed and looked at the bottoms she wore.

“What are these things?” He asked.

“They are called jeans. I hate you!” She hissed.

“I did not tell my son to kill you.” Maec snarled.

He phased her jeans away and he saw an almost healed scar on her lower abdomen. He dawned on him that she had to give birth through her belly and he was suddenly over her.

“What happened to the puppy and the succubus?” He demanded.

“Not here.” She laughed.

“You know what I should do little enemy? I should make you heavy with my child. How would that be?” He asked gripping her jaw.

“Let go of me!” She hissed.

“No. I wanted the children but this is just as pleasing. A fertile succubus. That is a boon.” He said tracing a magenta stripe.

“You are a sick bastard! Hanaj hates you! He swears what a sick fuck you are. He hates you passionately.” She taunted.

“That grieves me to hear as I have tried to be a good father to my young but it is no matter now. Raganos is an idiot as well. It seems I am going to have to figure a way of controlling the situation from here. You do not kill such a delicious woman no matter how dangerous she is.” Maec stated.

“You are such a demented freak. I will kill you. I will kill you for everything.” Asuna snarled.

“Time to carry through Asuna. Since you are not with child then now is a good time to rip Hanaj from you. It will be unpleasant for you both I am afraid but he will be none the wiser.” He said sitting back and he cut his chest.

He hauled her up and she snarled and tried to rip him up. He forced her mouth to his chest and blood smeared her lips.

“Drink now.” He said in a deep tone.

She could not breathe and she opened her mouth. Maec groaned a little as he felt her mouth open. He held her in place by the back of the head and she struggled weakly.

“Drink.” He whispered.

He felt her fangs sink in and he actually cried out. It felt so good as she took in his life force. If Sanra saw this then she would be livid. He let her go and she fell back. Her lips were smeared with his blood and it made him crazed to see.

“Sleep now. You will need it.” He said stepping back.

“You masterminded my kidnapping?” She demanded.

“Masterminded? I suppose you could say I did.” Maec said smirking.

“I will escape and I will kill you.” Asuna stated growling.

“Oh no you will not. Not this time. I have a pretty good idea of what it is you are. You are just a delightful amalgamation of daemon energies and I shall enjoy peeling away each and every layer there is. I shall open you and delight in you.” He smirked widely.

“Fuck you!” She snarled.

“Absolutely.” Maec said closing the distance between them.

He pinned her down on his bed and his breath was hot against her neck. She was growling terribly and he was actually trying to control himself. Maec lifted his head a little and pressed his lips to hers. She was snarling into it and he swept his tongue into her mouth. He knew he was obsessed but he wanted her. He wanted to possess her and control her. He wanted her womb and he wanted to have her whenever he desired; which was often. His plans of waiting to take her went out the window and he phased his clothes away and shifted his hips. She made a surprised noise and he ripped his lips away. He was breathing heavily into her ear and she was gasping softly.

“I would never do this for anyone else woman. I would not be so gentle for anyone.” He said sucking her lobe into his mouth.

“Then do not start with me.” She said fighting back a moan.

“For once shut up!” He hissed.

“Hell no!” Asuna hissed back.

Maec pulled out forcefully and he exerted his considerable yoki upon her and she glared at him hatefully. He scratched her nether regions with his claws and her response was delayed for a moment. Her face clouded in pleasure and he settled her legs on his shoulders.

“You will at least come for me.” He snapped.

“I hate you!” She snarled.

“Oh of course you do.” Maec retorted.

She betrayed herself and she moaned out loudly as he took her with supreme gentleness meant to shatter her. Asuna ended up scoring his back in a massive climax and he hissed in pain. Her toxin was a nasty substance that he needed immunity to and his belly still was not completely healed. She rolled away from him and she was growling in fury.

“You so hated that.” He said in disdain.

“I hate you.” Asuna repeated.

He refused to say anything and he phased his clothes back on. He left her lying there and he left. Fury ate at him and he went to his throne room. He saw his half sister and he was morose. Sanra came over and touched his shoulder. Maec shrugged her off and she looked at him as if he was insane.

“What is wrong with you?” She asked under her breath.

“I have no wish for your touch at the moment.” Maec snapped.

“Pardon? Since when?” She demanded in anger.

“Watch it Sanra.” He growled.

“Maec, what is going on?” She asked softly.

“I said I have no wish for your touch at this moment!” He snarled at her.

She stepped back and she stared at him as if he had lost his mind. Maec stood up and stormed away. She phased into his room and found a woman of great beauty on his bed. She was in disbelief and Asuna sat up.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Sanra asked with venom lacing her tone.

“I ask myself the same question. You want me gone? Help me escape.” She said haughtily.

“Why would I betray Maec?” She said grinding her teeth.

“Because I am here in his bed and you are obviously not.” Asuna retorted.

Sanra lost her head and snarled. She came at her and the inu princess grabbed her throat. She threw Sanra through a bed post and she jumped. She grabbed a robe of sorts and Sanra suddenly slashed her back wide open. Asuna cried out as the gaping wounds had been laced with the cold shoki of the Shouten. Sanra's hand looked grotesque and much like a modern rake but with nasty claws.

“Nasty whore!” She said in a low tone.

“I do not want your filthy brother!” Asuna said in a tremendous growl.

“You are stupid then.” Sanra stated shifting her hand again.

Her claws were needle thin and Sanra walked up to her and slipped her needle like claws into her neck. She released the ash shoki and Asuna went down.

“Do not fuck with me little girl as you will loose every time.” She said with hatred.

Her throat was burning and she was clawing at her throat. Her vision was swimming and she knew these two Shouten were of unusual strength. She was verging on passing out when Sanra stepped on her hand and crushed it.

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

Maec had been supervising the brew that would split Hanaj from the succubus when he heard yelling. He went himself and he went to the wing of the palace that housed his many children. Hanaj was on the ground clawing at his throat and he knew instantly that the female was in trouble. He phased to his bedroom and Sanra was lying on a chaise watching her handiwork.

“How dare you!” He snarled.

“How dare you. You defile our bed?” Sanra stated with disgust.

“This is my room Sanra and I am still the king!” He said as his eyes bled white.

“She will die. I swear I will kill her. One way or another I will destroy her.” She said phasing away.

Maec picked up the succubus and phased to his private apothecary and laid her on the floor. He motioned to his practioners and they went about healing his sister's malice. Hanaj would have to go into a death sleep and he sighed. Damn fool boy he thought. Anger at Sanra's actions infuriated him as he watched the ancient rights begin. He would find his half sister and rip her apart for this.

Asuna woke up and she could breathe. She was also weak as hell and Maec was asleep next to her. She sat up and he grabbed her thigh. She went to hit him and he grabbed her wrist.

“You and Hanaj are no longer tied. Try and feel him now.” He smirked.

She did try and feel the distant touch and she stared at him. Hatred burned in her and tears actually pricked her eyes.

“One I could not take a chance that my child would die because he is tied to you. You have too many enemies, me included. I will not kill my own son. Two I will not have my son tied to the woman I intend to keep. Three you are too damn valuable to me.” He said crossing his arms.

“You make me sick! I gave him a son!” Asuna hissed.

“Who will be here at some point, I admit it odd the idea of a corporeal Shouten but it does have merit.” He said glaring at her.

“You filthy beast.” She said in disgust.

“Whatever. You judge me yet you have had father and sons. How are you any different?” Maec asked.

She kept her mouth shut and he scoffed. He rose and looked back at her.

“I have word that Raganos has a thing for your mother in this life. I suppose I could retrieve her for him and keep him busy.” He said looking at his claws.

“You really think so little of your own heir?” She asked in disbelief.

“My rule extends beyond my supposed time little girl. I am eternal in a way. Do you think Raganos realizes that? Of course not! He is a loyal boy as I have said but dense. Hanaj has intelligence but the dear boy has a morality that smacks of Tomoshibi. It is almost sad that he would rather think of others versus his own clan but I can try and change his mind. My various other children have talents and uses but Thei is a mighty warrior. Sindari is my little assassin.” He said smiling with pride.

“You are disgusting.” She growled.

“If I were to beget a child with you then I would depose Raganos and put that child on my throne. I imagine you would think that you would raise said child though.” He stated in a nasty tone.

“I would rather die then give you any pup of my body.” She growled.

“A child by you would be far more powerful then Hanaj any day. A child by you would rule all three planes. A child by you would by quite the revenge.” Maec said turning.

“I would kill you before you had the chance.” Asuna stated.

“Really? You think so?” He asked smirking.

“I know so.” She said with revulsion.

Maec clenched his fists and he turned to her. He was suddenly on her and he had cut his palm with his claws. She was spitting and snarling at his actions as he squeezed his blood into her mouth.

“Drink!” He said in sudden anger.

“Bastard!” She yelled.

“I will have you.” He said forcing his palm to her lips.

“You have had my body but you will not have me.” Asuna said trying to claw him.

His fury got the better of him and he made himself calm down. His face held something indefinable and Maec slipped fingers inside of her. She made a noise and he slowly moved them.

“I tire of this.” He whispered.

“Screw you.” She gasped.

“Yes.” He growled.

He phased out and she fell to her side. His presence was unreal and he was the heaviest creature in terms of yoki she had ever felt. She rolled to her belly and she crying out as he touched and explored her from deep within her mind and soul. She was clutching at his bed clothes as his presence made her experience things that made her feel altered states. Asuna was gasping harder and harder as Maec was ruthlessly taking her spiritually. He appeared corporeally before she reached the zenith. He was shaking in tremors and pouring sweat and he began to feverishly place kisses on the back of her neck and down her back.

“I want you.” He whispered in a needy tone.

“Evil.” She groaned.

“Stop! I will love you if you let me.” Maec rasped.

She threw her head back and he had slipped into her. Her eyes were red and she was shaking with very little control over her body. Her back was pressed into his chest and he had tangled his legs with hers. Maec moved his hips urgently and he continued to nip and bite along her neck as he became consumed in this female. He was never gentle with any lover and this was not him. He was seized up in a soul consuming climax and she screamed out as she became blinded in an unreal experience. He was too powerful and he would destroy and decimate all in his wake. Kaimei was damn near his equal but it was dumb luck that Maec had been beaten. She was gasping and crying as her body felt the complete spasms. She had to get away from him and Asuna's face was covered in tears. Self hatred consumed her completely and he refused to release her from his grip.

“You are shielding yourself even now.” He said almost bitterly.

“You are a wonderful fuck Maec. Practice makes you a perfect whore.” She said in a tired voice.

His face clouded in fury and he leaned over her. She stared at his nearly white eyes with her reddened ones and he held her jaw in a painful grip.

“I will start picking off your mates one by one. I will destroy you slowly. You think I will be humiliated by a mere succubus?” He said coldly.

“What a way to win me over Shouten. Very good. Make my hate grow.” She said suddenly clapping.

“Do not mock me. I am liable to start killing and I will kill someone dear to you. Shall I start with that white haired dog daemon or perhaps one of the spiders?” He said with tremendous malice.

“Do it and see what I do.” Asuna said clenching her fist.

“Fine. You have made up my mind.” Maec stated jumping away from her.

Asuna moved with unreal speed and she was on him. She dragged her claws down his back and he growled as he slammed her against a wall. They were grappling and she just needed to break his mental hold on her for half a second. She screamed in pain as he broke one hand but she suddenly shoved her left hand into his sore belly and he stiffened. She flooded him with Dakkasou and she suddenly released a nami. His face registered his shock and he had to phase out. She slid down his bedroom wall with a broken hand and blood on her. She willed a robe into her hand and she ported. She had broken away but she had to move fast. She felt fluids between her thighs and bile flooded her throat. She made it to the in between that meet at the crossroads of Asia. She stepped through and into her own plane. Asuna ported to Japan and she promptly threw up.

Kaimei was in a rage and she would not say anything. She was in Soul Society and she stared out. She kept scrubbing herself silly and he knew she had been taken.

“You are refusing to return to the Living plane. You avoid something.” He said sitting by her.

“Nothing.” She said softly.

“I cannot help you if you do not tell me.” He stated perplexed.

“Shouten. It is always the Shouten in one way or another.” She snarled.

“Hai they are a scourge. What is the difference?” Kaimei asked.

“I have seen the ekimmu. I have been told how to go their plane. I think it high time I do.” She said standing.

“Wait their plane supposedly exists even away from this one. You would be away from us all.” He said grabbing her.

“We are infant ekimmu Kaimei. That includes you. Maec is terrified of becoming what is the Tomoshibi are. You are one evolutionary step away from Terre de Brume. Give yourself a few thousand more years and you will not even be here.” Asuna said jerking away.

“So we are annihilated because he is afraid?” Kaimei asked in anger.

“Hai. Empusae are basically just corporeal wraiths.” She shrugged.

“What happened?” He demanded.

“Nothing I cannot handle. I felt his power is all. I felt what he is capable of and I know exactly where I am going to strike. I am going to destroy one of his ways of strengthening himself. Bastard deals with old and ancient black magics. I will learn what I can from the ekimmu and then come back to deal the Shouten a heavy blow. Watch over my family please?” She asked suddenly kissing him.

“Hai.” The Tomoshibi sighed.

She nodded and he produced a gate into the other plane. She walked through and ported to Britain and to where Ruval said he could be found.
