Mine Fields

 

A/n: The sons of the Taisho work together to try and help the kumo. Asuna and Maec square off after she makes a bargain for the lives of two. Drostan again enters the picture and some of the life of the Dragon clan is shown. A holy man returns and Asuna contemplates all her allies and many go after the wyvern ruler. Thank you all for reading and please let me know what you think. The updates have been slower coming out as my personal life has been too hectic. Festival season is over and I am hoping to return to a normal updating. Again thank you for reading! ;)

 

Sesshomaru was contemplating what his heir had told him and he knew that Augusta needed this Maec's knowledge. He had lived with the knowledge that his mate was still tied to Raganos and it sickened him. Asuna was lying on the couch sleeping for a little while and he was studying a map she had drawn of the Astana palace. She had also informed him that she was bearing the Panyu lord a pup and he could smell Naraku. He still hated the hanyou but they did not deal with each other often and several times he had been known to maim the half breed. He picked up the hated thing called a cell phone and he dialed his brother. Kagome picked up and he waited for her to speak.

 

“Moshi moshi?” She answered.

 

“Where is the half breed?” He demanded.

 

“Charming Sesshomaru. I'll get him.” Kagome said on the other end.

 

“Hn.” He muttered.

 

He waited and he heard his half brother snorting and stomping to the phone and he snapped.

 

“Oi! Whatcha want asshole?” Inuyasha demanded.

 

“I require your presence. I am in Tokyo at this moment.” Sesshomaru said coolly.

 

“You ventured off your perch? Holy shit!” his brother chortled.

 

“Inuyasha? SILENCE!” He growled.

 

“You at Suna's? Of course you're there. You'd never lower yourself to stay with us.” Inuyasha snapped.

 

“Please come.” He said uncomfortably.

 

“Yeah yeah jackass. Be there soon.” The hanyou said hanging up.

 

Asuna was watching her elegant father and he looked pensive and upset.

 

“Father?” She asked sleepily.

 

“I do not wish you to come. You are pupped only recently and Lord Jin is a good friend.” He said stiffly.

 

“Chichi, I will not sit by whilst someone else recovers my mates!” She hissed.

 

“You will also not be in the line of fire so to speak. I have seen what the loss of Jin's last pup did and I will not allow it. I am still your sire and your lord.” He said with a stern tone.

 

“I can fight Maec. He probably took Nobu so he could be healed. I will not allow harm to come to Ishin, Nobu, or Osamu.” Asuna growled.

 

“Asuna, my decision is made.” He said standing fluidly.

 

“Well mine is not. I am going my lord. I can fight Maec on par and you have no idea!” She snarled.

 

“Do not presume that this Sesshomaru cannot fight this monster, daughter!” He said in a deadly calm.

 

She knew she was treading on thin ice but she had no intentions of staying behind. She stormed into her bedroom and her father followed. He grabbed her arm and whirled her around. He was in a dangerous mood and she could see his eyes tinged red.

 

“You will not disobey me. You may be headstrong with your mates but not with this Sesshomaru.” He said with finality.

 

“I would not stop you from saving my mother!” Asuna yelled.

 

“I am not pupped.” Sesshomaru said stepping back.

 

He left her room and she was furious. She heard her door bell and he opened the door to his hanyou brother. Inuyasha stepped in and his hair was pulled back and a hat was on his head.

 

“Yo bro.” He said smirking.

 

“Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru stated without tone.

 

“Damn Suna. Asshole is still as stiff as a corpse and as warm as a damn snow storm. Love you too big brother.” The hanyou said laughing.

 

Asuna suppressed a smile and her sire rubbed the bridge of his nose. They still called each other names but there was genuine affection between them now. Inuyasha followed his aristocratic brother and they began to confer. She was straining to listen and she was furious still. She would wait till they left and then follow.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Western Lord was followed by Inuyasha who had Tetsaiga out and ready to kill a bunch of Shouten if necessary. Sesshomaru liked the funnel web lord and the healer. They were two that did not get on his nerves and he was intending to retrieve his eldest son and Asuna's two beloved kumo. They were accompanied by the one known as Shan Lao and Sesshomaru had sent the message himself. The Jing leader phased them into Hueco Mundo's plane and they were now scenting the air. The inu lord moved with purpose and he found Osamu. His heart clenched painfully at what he saw and Inuyasha began growling.

 

“Shouten! Take this Sesshomaru's son back to Britain.” He said in a voice like steel.

 

“Yes. Is that Asuna's twin?” He asked horrified.

 

“Hai.” Inuyasha said shaking in rage.

 

Shan Lao moved to the bloody and ashen body of the inu prince. Sesshomaru was containing his anger but it was showing as yoki crackled around him.

 

“Oooo someone is fixing to get a can of whoop ass opened on them.” Inuyasha muttered.

 

“Crude but correct.” Sesshomaru said in a beastly tone.

 

Shan Lao phased out and Sesshomaru walked forward. Inuyasha followed him and they were trying to scent out the two kumo males. A male Shouten appeared who favored Raganos.

 

“You look just like my little nemesis. You must be the dog that Raganos hates so much.” Maec said almost warmly.

 

“Look assicle can we just waste the fucker?” Inuyasha growled.

 

“This Sesshomaru will take care of the vermin.” His brother said with a ghost of a smile.

 

Maec chuckled and he felt much better since the spider had worked a miracle and then he had drained the bastard almost until death. The silver inu lord was suddenly in front of him and his hand was glowing with green yoki. Maec phased really fast and chuckled the whole time. Sesshomaru pulled Bakusaiga and Maec could feel the daemonic energy coming off the blade in spades.

 

“So you are where she gets some of it from. No wonder Danika wants you. You have so much power locked away it is a disgusting waste of space.” He said darkly.

 

“You will free this Sesshomaru's mate.” He said circling the Shouten ruler.

 

“You think I would help you? Now why would I help you dog?” He said in a nasty tone.

 

“Because then mercy will be had and your flesh will not rot.” The inu lord said fingering his blade.

 

“I am touched. Truly I am but the only way I would do such a thing is if your lovely, nasty little girl were to submit herself to me.” Maec said with a twisted smirk.

 

“If you released my mother first then perhaps I might.” Asuna said coming forward.

 

“Asuna!” Sesshomaru growled in fury.

 

“Balls as big as Daddy here. Your spider was tasty. He is nearly dead by the way and I watched as they ripped him up and tore him asunder.” The Shouten said in a horrid tone.

 

“Excuse me?” Asuna said shaking.

 

“Yes. The healer. The sweet and gentle soul that he is. Shall I tell you what I saw? Actually I think I would enjoy the tale. He is quite stunning and I am sure you know the Shouten penchant for duality.” Maec said inspecting his claws.

 

“You did not.” She said trembling in fury.

 

“Oh yes I did!” He stated as his eyes flashed white.

 

“You sick fuck!” Asuna stated as she went to fly at him.

 

“I watched as they slammed into him and he screamed in agony. He was tied to the bed as they violated him over and over…” Maec taunted.

 

Asuna released a flurry of yoki that slammed straight through Maec. Her features were roughened and she broke free from her sire.

 

“You had better be lying.” She screamed as she came at Maec and slashed at his face.

 

“Sorry. I am not. It just reminds what I did to you. Shall I tell daddy dearest how you liked to be fucked my Isha.” He said in a leering tone.

 

Sesshomaru could not take it and he was behind Maec instantly. Maec looked back at Sesshomaru and grinned widely. Raganos was there quickly and he gave the inu lord a nasty smile.

 

“You see I can count on you for one thing dog. You stupid sense of honor. I am so thrilled that I am not encumbered by such stupidity.” Raganos stated near Sesshomaru's ear.

 

“You have all fooled then wraith. Inuyasha?” Sesshomaru called and he actually grinned.

 

Inuyasha suddenly yelped out “Bakuryuha” and Asuna amplified the powerful attack with her own yoki. Both Shouten men had to move because the resulting explosion of yoki threw them all. Sesshomaru buffered Asuna and Inuyasha was thrown against a pillar. Maec was bleeding and so was Raganos as they had barely escaped oblivion. The elder tr'Awnhi narrowed his eyes at Asuna and he realized the whole damn family was wind elementals in one way or another. She was just the most focused and battery like of them all.

 

“They are a family full of air daemons! You had to go and fuck his mate?” Maec hissed.

 

“What do you mean father?” Raganos snapped.

 

“I wondered where it came from. Those beasts are all fucking elementals. Damnit Raganos I am releasing you from that woman.” Maec growled out.

 

“Father should I not have a say?” His eldest roared.

 

“Not while I am alive no.” He snapped.

 

They stormed through intending to get their captives but Asuna cut off Maec first. Her chest was heaving and she stared at him in hatred.

 

“Let them go. Let them go and I will stay.” She said shaking.

 

“Really? You will stay? Not here obviously but somewhere.” Maec smirked.

 

“Release them Maec! They are innocent.” She said shaking.

 

“You love them so much? Fine then it is a deal. Raganos release the two spiders to the other two dogs. You will honor your word will you not?” He said brushing knuckles along her cheek.

 

“You are a nasty bastard!” She said in hatred.

 

“Yes but a bastard that is getting what I want.” He laughed mirthfully.

 

Raganos had gone and allowed Ishin and Nobu's whereabouts to be found and he watched as his father phased out with their bitter enemy.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Maec had taken her to one of his hideaways and he was going to shock his little enemy greatly he decided. She stared at him with contempt and hatred and he appeared in front of her. He shoved her against a wooden beam and held her jaw.

 

“I suppose I will have to suppress your powers but no matter.” He whispered.

 

“I hate you.” She said shaking.

 

“I lied.” He whispered.

 

“About what exactly?” Asuna demanded.

 

“Your spider was only drained till he was incapacitated. He is too brilliant a healer to destroy. I may need to see if he can be changed. So few of us can do that you know.” He said ripping open her shirt.

 

“I hate you!” She screamed.

 

“Yes. You have said that. I do not need your love but I will have all of you. Oh my beautiful little foe.” He said cupping her breasts.

 

“Sick bastard!” She said clenching her jaw.

 

He was rolling her nipples between his fingers and thumbs as she hissed. His intentions were to make her feel utterly filthy and he would enjoy it. His touch was gentle and she was fighting back moans.

 

“Shall I use my own mental exertions on you my rival?” Maec continuing to torture her.

 

“Shut up!” She hissed.

 

He had to concentrate heavily but she suddenly hissed out. A slow grin spread out on his face and she was whimpering.

 

“So much harder for me but worth it.” He said in her ear.

 

“Too much.” She nearly shrieked.

 

“Almost painful? Stretched and too full?” He asked running his tongue along her ear lobe and her neck.

 

“Hai. Kamis you bastard!” She snarled.

 

“There now my darling enemy. Gods you are weeping.” Maec stated huskily.

 

He continued to manipulate her tips and use telekinesis and she yelped out as she shuddered under a powerful release. He let his fingers become drenched and he lifted them to her lips.

 

“Taste of yourself.” He commanded.

 

She was coming back from her release and she tasted his fingers. The bastard was working her again as she was in a beastly mind.

 

“Such a treat hmmm? Gods!” He suddenly growled out.

 

He felled her back on a bed and lowered his head to her center. He fought his crushing desire to sink his fangs and feast from her. He suckled and dove his tongue as deeply as he could. She was gasping as he did his will. He was working himself up badly but he sat up and hauled her to him. He grabbed her hair and made her look at him as he sat on his knees and settled her on his lap. He was staring at her face the whole time.

 

“It takes invoking your inner dog to make you like this?” He demanded.

 

She only growled low in her throat and the sound sent shivers down his spine. He wrapped one arm around her waist to hold her close and she whimpered out as he worked her in a slow motion.

 

“You make me loose my concentration. Gods this is too much.” Maec rasped harshly into her neck.

 

She was too far gone in her beast to reply and the pleasure was taking over her mind completely. She was gripping him as he guided her in a way that left her breathless. He shook as he laid her back and slowly pulled back and even more slowly plunged in.

 

“Scream! Say something!” He yelled out.

 

She refused to voice her pleasure even though it showed on her face. He unleashed himself and pounded into her and Asuna thrashed under him. He yelled out as a he became blinded as his seed left him. Maec fell against her and she shoved him off. He actually chuckled and she was snarling in self loathing and hatred for him.

 

“You let yourself be used so that your healer will be okay and your spider lord. I did not say what happened to what is his name?” Maec asked in jest.

 

“Ishin. You had better not have harmed him Maec. I swear to your gods and my Kamis that you had better not hurt him.” She said with very reddened eyes.

 

“Your papa dog will not find him. By the way who was the other one, the one with the ears? I am assuming he is a halfling.” He said as if he was having a normal conversation.

 

“You think this funny? I find three of my daughters nearly dead and you dare sit there and act normal?” She damn near shrieked.

 

“Raganos only attempted to kill three? Damn my son…he should have wiped out more!” Maec said in a foul mood.

 

She shrieked in fury and surged up. She began slashing at him with her claws and he caught her wrists. Asuna saw some madness in his eyes and she knew that the half binding he had done was driving him slowly insane.

 

“Why would you do to yourself what you were trying to stop between me and Hanaj?” Asuna demanded in fury.

 

“It was not done purposely. How do you think I am able to feel you?” Maec asked in a low tone.

 

“So you slowly drive yourself insane to be able to track me? You are a bigger fool then I thought.” She stated with utter contempt.

 

“I told you that I will have you or you will die. It is simple really.” He said grabbing her hair and making her stare at him.

 

“You think because you want me that you should have what you want?” She said as he yanked on her silver mane harder.

 

“This is not just about the fact that you are a pain in the ass to the Shouten but you are so fucking beautiful and so damn powerful. I take you then I control what you are and what you become.” He said flattening her.

 

“Control?” She growled out in question.

 

“Yes. I have you then I have your power. I cannot take it because you are too well versed in yours for me to actually absorb them. How come your halfling does not steal your abilities?” He asked pulling on her hair and she growled.

 

“Because we channel the other stupid freak!” She growled.

 

She was waiting and she felt his yoki waver just a tiny bit and she held out her hands to release a shock wave of powerful wind type yoki. Maec had been distracted and he was thrown through the bedroom wall. She scrambled and grabbed a sheet. She ported out and she was in Hueco Mundo she was sure. She was in the desert and Asuna tried to feel any Arrancar that she could. She sighed and ported to Los Noches. She was trying in vain to feel Grimmjow and she felt others. She was watching and she nabbed a low level Arrancar who hissed and snarled in anger.

 

“Make a garganta appear now!” She commanded.

 

“Or what?” he snapped.

 

“Or you will be dead on any plane.” She snarled.

 

The Arrancar produced the garganta and she walked through. Asuna walked into modern day Tokyo and her mind was working a mile a minute. Maec had fantastical abilities like Naraku but she knew someone who could fight youkai more. She would have to find him and she would have to promise Jin to be careful. She may have to promise to go to Guangzhou as well. She sighed and went to penthouse to dress. She immediately called on her sire and uncle to make sure Ishin and Nobu were retrieved.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was in the past and Jin had actually given her his fang and made her swear to every Kami and God that he knew of that she was going to Guangzhou. Her sire and Uncle Inuyasha had found Ishin and Nobu. They were both healing and Ishin was horrified at what had happened with Noe. He had been so grateful that she had not been killed. She went to Panyu and it was further back in the past and even before she had met Sheng. Jin would be a young lord and she was admitted to his palace. She was standing as she looked around with interest. Jin entered wearing full armor and his hair was still his short and lustrous brown. His almond shaped blue eyes perused her form and he was intrigued as to why a Western bitch was here and why she was dressed for battle.

 

“Onna? What can I do for you?” Jin asked curiously.

 

“May we speak in private Lord Jin?” She asked.

 

“Hai I suppose. Why are you dressed for battle?” He asked curiously.

 

Asuna gave him a nasty look and he was surprised. He motioned for her to follow him to a small room. He sat down at a low table and watched her. She was pacing and she looked over at him.

 

“I am here because I need to be. I know you do not know me but I need you to trust me.” She stated.

 

“What are you asking?” Jin asked intrigued.

 

“I cannot explain but I made a promise and for once I will abide it.” Asuna said firmly.

 

“You are making me quite intrigued. What is your name?” He said crossing his arms.

 

“I am Asuna.” She said bowing.

 

“A warrior bitch. I have never seen such a sight.” He marveled.

 

“We are not as traditional in the West as Panyu apparently is.” She said cautiously.

 

“I know of the famed Lord Sesshomaru.” He said watching her closely.

 

“He is a gracious and loving lord. He would never show it but he adores his lands and his people.” She commented.

 

“I should like to meet him someday. He is a legend for his skill on a field of battle and for his political sense. Please then by all means stay amongst us then.” Jin shrugged.

 

“You have not been lord long.” She said looking at him.

 

“No. My father was killed in a battle with the Byakko tigers in Wu. I have only been the lord these past five years.” He said in a sigh.

 

Asuna knew that Teegan had always been a contemporary of Jin's and she had been his lover a long while. She bowed low to try and be as respectful as she could and she was hungry. Her stomach growled loudly and he smirked softly.

 

“You are hungry. I am certain I can find you some prepared food or do you prefer raw?” He asked benignly.

 

“Prepared will be fine. May I have some chambers my lord? I will be moving around this part of China a lot.” Asuna said watching him.

 

“Hai. This way please. I shall have some noodles and beef sent to your rooms if it pleases you.” Jin said standing.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

They walked side by side and he led her to some opulent chambers. She caught a glimpse of the golden haired Teegan who in turn bowed low before Jin. The look on his face and the one on the golden's made her want to vomit. She ignored the beautiful onna and she settled into her chambers. She laid the fang on a table and she spread out some writing supplies. Akemi was in this era and she would write to her. She called on a servant for a map and other things to plot where the infamous houshi was.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jin was watching the silver bitch and he was intrigued with her. She spoke as royalty but she said nothing. She was also quite accomplished with a katana and Teegan was seething in jealousy. He ignored it and continued to be a gracious host. Jun said she was well mannered with the servants and she never said a cross word. Some days she was gone for a long time and she had come in this day and she was bloodied and exhausted. Asuna would not say anything and he could tell something was off in her. He also could not scent her which drove him nuts.

 

“Do you require a healer?” He asked from the hallway.

 

“Please. I am going to be sick.” She said fleeing and making it outside.

 

She was on her knees and she was sick to her stomach. The nausea was infrequent but it affected her at times badly. Jin held her hair back and he was troubled by her malady.

 

“Jin?” He heard in a soft tone.

 

“Oh my darling! Lady Asuna became ill.” He said absent mindedly.

 

“You have servants my lord. You need not hold her hair back for her.” She said in a slight temper.

 

Asuna wiped her mouth and she was suddenly furious. She looked at Teegan who in turn stared at her with jealousy and contempt.

 

“Do not dare say a word you cow! I am a princess you arrogant whore!” Asuna snarled.

 

“One who battles?” Teegan sneered.

 

“Teegan enough!” Jin snapped.

 

Asuna stood up slowly and she was dizzy. She had tangled with a snake youkai and it had bitten her several times.

 

“I think the snake's venom is affecting me.” Asuna said shaking her head.

 

“Silver are immune to most toxins.” Jin said concerned.

 

“I am not fully silver. I am of kiang shi descent as well.” She said leaning against a pillar.

 

“Truly? Teegan get the healer now!” He commanded.

 

“Hai my lord.” She whispered in a seething tone.

 

Jin picked her up and he carried her to her chambers. He laid her down and she was staring at the ceiling.

 

“I am sorry. I do not like her.” Asuna whispered.

 

“She has been my companion a long while. I have known her all my life.” He said gently.

 

“Why have you not mated her then?” She retorted.

 

“I truly have no wish to sire a pup just yet and if truth be told; I love her but I am hoping for her behavior to change.” He said softly.

 

She nodded and she grew sick again. The healer came in and Teegan watched as the old male inu began to give her some draughts and such to ease the toxin of the snake. Jin was hovering too much in her opinion and she really did not like the silver female. In fact she was coming to hate her. She was used to being the only exotic beauty in Panyu and this silver was just as exotic looking. Asuna was breathing easier and the healer gave her frank look.

 

“You are within four months.” He said in a peevish tone.

 

“Hai so?” She growled.

 

“You are pupped?” Jin asked shocked.

 

“I am but it matters not.” She snapped.

 

“It does matter! Who in their right mind would let a pregnant bitch run around the countryside?” Jin asked shaking his head.

 

“That is my business Lord Jin. I am truly in no danger and I have to find this houshi!” She said growling softly.

 

“I understand that Lady Asuna but I cannot in good conscience allow you to put yourself and your pup in danger.” He said crossing his arms.

 

“Pups my lord. There are two pups.” The healer corrected.

 

“Twins?” Jin asked even more surprised.

 

“Hai. Excuse me as I have taken up enough of your generosity.” She said rolling and slowly getting up.

 

The healer snorted and he took his leave. Jin was astonished at who would allow their pregnant mate to run around unsupervised and she snarled in anger.

 

“I am my own master Lord Jin. No male controls me.” She said hearing his thoughts.

 

“So you are a powerful telepath because I was shielding.” Jin said looking annoyed.

 

“Hai I am a powerful telepath.” Asuna murmured as she gathered some things.

 

“Where are you going?” He asked in agitation.

 

He grabbed her arm and he caught a scent. He suddenly gripped her chin and scented along her neck. It was so damn faint and then gone.

 

“Who sired these pups?” He demanded.

 

“None of your concern.” She said calmly.

 

“None of my concern? Why do I smell myself on you?” He growled.

 

She looked at his intense blue eyes and she was fighting back her jealousy and her stupidity. Asuna threaded her fingers into his hair and pulled him to meet her lips. Jin was shocked but she was not only aggressive but had slipped her tongue into his mouth. He lifted his hands up and for a moment he did nothing but within a moment he had wrapped his arms around her as she kissed him like she knew him and by the Gods she was teasing him with her tongue and suckling his bottom lip. She ripped her lips from his and he was breathing hard.

 

“What in the Gods' names was that?” He asked with stained eyes that gave them a purplish hue.

 

“A kiss.” Asuna said with a mortified whisper.

 

“This cannot be my pup so who are you involved with?” Jin demanded.

 

“Jin you demand too much.” She sighed.

 

Things were not adding up and she was not talking. She slipped the katana she had and he hissed. She looked at him and he touched the hilt. The fang reacted to him and she growled in irritation.

 

“You sent me! You made me promise to stay here whilst I searched. I knew you would act like this!” Asuna said exasperated.

 

“Sent you from where? When…and…that is it. It is when!” He said dumbfounded.

 

“I am half empusae.” She said gently.

 

Her words were registering in his brain and his eyes widened in utter shock. Not only was she inu but she was partly succubus.

 

“This is my pup?” Jin asked dumbly.

 

“Hai. One is your pup.” She nodded a little.

 

“Because you are so strongly empusae then you have to have…” He tried to say.

 

“More then one mate.” Asuna nodded.

 

“You are a more pure form of what I am.” Jin said shocked.

 

“Hai.” She said shrugging.

 

“My pup?” He asked in disbelief.

 

“Choose not to believe it if you will. I do not have to time to coddle you Jin.” Asuna said with irritation.

 

Jin was not exactly thinking clearly and he gathered her in his arms. He stared at her mouth and the idea of a pup from her was not offensive. The idea of a pup with Teegan did make him put off. He pressed his hand to her belly and he could feel subtle movements. Inu gestations were on the short side but they were so highly evolved and grew tremendously fast.

 

“You and I are what exactly?” He demanded.

 

“Lovers.” She shrugged.

 

“You say that so flippantly.” Jin growled.

 

“Jin, we have a long tumultuous history. We have been on again and off again so much. This happened purely by chance but she is more then wanted okay?” Asuna stated meeting his eyes.

 

“It is a she? I am having a girl?” He asked surprised.

 

“Hai. She is a girl and I assure she will be powerful. I am my sire's heir okay?” She stated.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru is your father.” Jin said really looking at her.

 

“Well honestly my markings should give me away.” Came her soft laugh.

 

“I have never seen the Western Lord in person. I have only heard the stories. You look like your great father?” He asked tracing a magenta stripe on her cheek.

 

“I do resemble him greatly. You are affecting me when you do that. Stop unless you wish to copulate.” She said breathing a little harder.

 

“Are you always so blunt?” Jin asked curiously.

 

“You learn to like me.” Asuna laughed.

 

“Honestly, I am insanely attracted to you but your manners are foreign to me.” He admitted.

 

“Why do you keep your hair short?” She demanded suddenly.

 

“I hate to have it in my face.” He chuckled.

 

“You have always had short hair.” Asuna remarked.

 

“So did my father.” He said tracing her stripes more.

 

His thumb strayed near her mouth and she sucked it. He hissed a little and suddenly their lips met again. It was recklessly passionate and they stumbled backwards. She ended up against the wall as their lips could not stop touching the others. Jin was in a trance almost and their hands were hurriedly undoing their stays and silks. He used his body to press against to hold her up as they joined. He groaned and growled softly as she kissed him. He felt some guilt but this felt so right as he moved against her. Asuna was gripped in his mind and she truly had always enjoyed Jin; she just could not handle his possessive nature. She remembered his words about his blood lusts and she used a claw to cut into her neck. He hissed a little and pulled away from her mouth.

 

“What are you doing?” He asked softly.

 

She said nothing as she guided his mouth to her neck and she heard a low snarl ripped from his chest.

 

“I denied my own nature for so long and it was part of our issues. Do not deny yours.” She gasped.

 

Asuna felt his tongue swipe the wound and it made her groan more. Jin was growling louder and he sank his fangs into the soft skin and she felt a tremendous rush. She spied the doorway and Teegan was in utter shock as she saw her longtime lover engaged with another onna.

 

“Jin!” She snarled.

 

Jin stiffened when he heard Teegan's shrill voice and he mentally groaned. Asuna was not being very nice and she was squeezing him relentlessly with her muscles. He stared at her and whispered stop. The Western princess grew bolder and she lifted her masking. Teegan snarled in utter fury as she left.

 

“Was that entirely necessary?” He asked in anger.

 

“Hai.” She growled.

 

“You are rather jealous for such an independent onna.” Jin growled.

 

“I do not care.” She said shrugging.

 

“Let me down now!” He said trying to pull back.

 

“No.” She said and she sank her fangs into his juncture.

 

She let the bite cause him untold pleasure and Jin was bracing himself as shudders of rapture coursed through him. She drank some of his blood and continued to let the bite cause him to feel.

 

“You have that ability?” He asked straining.

 

-I have many abilities. You still wish to stop? - she pathed.

 

“No.” He groaned and began a relentless thrusting.

 

She shut her eyes and allowed herself to feel him and he always felt so good. She dipped into his mind and she did so deeply. Jin had not encountered such a powerful telepath ever and his marvelous control was shredding. He was splintering apart as he thrust as hard as he could. She was letting him see their first encounter and it was erotic. He was older and she younger and she was doing all manner of things to his person. He flattened himself against her as a riveting orgasm was pulled from him and she yelped out. He felt her walls massage his member in her own strong reaction and she again guided his mouth to her neck. Jin did not stop himself from sinking his fangs into her flesh again and she begged him with her mind and voice to drink. Her tone left him weak and he actually drank of her. He was lost in the effects of her powerful and drugging life force and he sank to his knees. She in turn sank her fangs into the opposite juncture on him and he was in a wild paradise and it was making everything seem surreal. They were in a heap on the floor and he was dazed. The things he had seen had him dumbfounded. The man he was to become was so far removed from who he was now. Jin managed to lay his head against her stomach and he could feel his tiny pup. She was nestled and warm; he could feel her simple emotions as he pressed his hand to bond with her. Asuna felt the warmth and joy that she had felt centuries before with Mizuki wash over her and she was gasping in air.

 

“She is my pup.” He whispered in awe.

 

“Hai.” Asuna grunted.

 

“Amazing. She is content. She is happy.” He sighed softly.

 

“She is wanted.” She managed to say as she became drowsy.

 

“What have I done?” Jin asked as he too was drowsy.

 

“We made love. You were in anguish and I was the cause. We made love and we made her.” She said running her hand through his hair.

 

“Kamis in heaven.” He said drifting off as he continued to feel his precious daughter.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jin was trying to give her space and she found him more often then not shadowing her. She had also informed him he needed to keep his relationship with Teegan. His mouth had dropped open and she had hid her fury at her own words. She still hated the golden bitch centuries later. She sighed heavily and she was showing now. Jin came out and he neared her. He was actually trying so hard to not act so inu but it warred with his upbringing and instincts. She walked to him and met his lips as he palmed her small belly and then a breast.

 

“Kamis I hate this. I hate you leaving.” He whispered heavily.

 

“I can best you with a katana now quit worrying.” She chuckled.

 

“What are you looking for?” He asked softly as he continued to tease her nipple.

 

“You are in want?” Asuna asked.

 

“Always.” Jin murmured.

 

She kissed him deeply till he was breathless and then proceeded to mentally take hold of him. He gasped against her and he was gripping her tightly.

 

 

“So wicked. You are so good at your yoki.” He moaned.

 

“Hai well I have had plenty of time to get use to it. There.” She said huskily.

 

Jin groaned out as he was spent. His newest lover was amazing and left him wanting more. He also wanted his bed and she grinned.

 

“Well you go rest and I will look for what it is I am searching for. Join you later.” Asuna smirked.

 

“You do that to make me compliant.” He accused.

 

“You are correct. See you later Jin.” She said grabbing his backside.

 

He grunted and growled a little and he ported away. She proceeded to port to Southern Honshu and she searched for the elusive monk in her homeland. This was right after she would have mated him and he apparently was very good at hiding his tracks. Asuna was unsure of how he had done the whole Living Buddha thing but he had pulled it off. She sighed and remembered her short liaison that had ended badly. Asuna wandered for awhile and sat down under a tree. She was tired and she felt her pups. Naraku's little girl was drowning in yoki too but she expected any child of his would. Jin's pup had a powerful yoki as well and it was more normal to her. She fell asleep and she was awakened a little later as she heard stones crunching under foot. She startled awake and she was surrounded by several houshi and she looked around.

 

“What is a youkai doing in these parts?” One asked damn near spitting on her.

 

“I go where I wish houshi. Do not be stupid and spit on me again.” She said lifting her face.

 

“You are a filthy youkai!” The really young houshi said in arrogance.

 

She flicked her wrist and he was thrown far. She slowly stood and the others stood their guard.

 

“I am looking for a houshi that may go by the name Housei. I will not be put off and I dare you to try and purify me.” Asuna growled.

 

“She is an inu.” One said to another.

 

“She looks to be one of those out of the West.” Another stated.

 

“I am inu royalty fools.” She said clenching her fists.

 

“We know of the houshi you seek but why would youkai filth seek such a holy man?” Another asked in fury.

 

Asuna picked the houshi's brain and she suddenly ported out. She was surprised to see herself near Fuji and she slowly lifted her nose. She found his scent on the wind and she breathed deeply. Old pain at her own stupidity made her wince and she went in search of him. She found him working amongst a small village that was obviously infested with illness. Hakushin had been busy doing his works when he felt an aura he had not sensed in a long while. He stood slowly and walked to the edge of the village and there stood the onna who had turned him immortal and had stolen his heart. His brown eyes met hers and she slowly back stepped and he followed as if in a trance. She was beckoning him into the forest and he did follow. When they were far enough away from the ningen; she pulled him into her arms. Nothing was said as they kissed passionately and without any reservation. He lost his monkly ways as he consumed her. Asuna ported them to a nearby hot spring and he put up a barrier.

 

“I never thought to see you so soon.” He whispered against her neck.

 

“Hakushin.” She murmured as her eyes closed in her passion.

 

“Something is wrong.” He stated firmly.

 

“I need you but I want to see you for now.” She said almost urgently.

 

“My himegimi tell me.” Hakushin whispered in her ear.

 

“I was such an idiot.” Asuna said in near anguish.

 

“Why?” He asked cupping her face between his hands.

 

“To deny what this is.” She said undoing his robes.

 

“I do not understand except you are again from a distant era.” He stated as he undid her hanfu.

 

She undid his beautiful hair and he almost chuckled as she touched and almost petted him.

 

“Is this mere ningen pleasing to you?” He asked in a sultry tone.

 

“You are not a mere ningen.” Asuna stated as she really looked at him.

 

“I am ningen but not mortal. You saved me from death.” Hakushin murmured.

 

He had her on the edge of the hot spring and he had desired her so badly but he had kept his wits. He saw her belly and he looked up at her.

 

“Can you?” He asked softly.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“My purity will not hurt your babe?” He asked as he slid into her.

 

Her eyes rolled back and she moaned. She could feel his purity all ready and she was shaking like a leaf.

 

“No, I thought long ago you could have but no you will not hurt them. They have my yoki.” She whispered out.

 

“What has brought you to me himegimi?” He asked peppering her throat and shoulder with soft caresses.

 

“I need you. So stupid. I am so stupid.” She said drawing her legs up.

 

She cried out loudly as he slowly thrust and pulled back. She moved her hips to meet his and it was blowing both of their minds to be together again. She grew hoarse as the overwhelming purity was building. Asuna's face was contorting and her eyes flew open as she stared at his with ruby colored eyes.

 

“I am going to shatter.” She yelped out.

 

“Hai please. I want to see it.” He whispered as he kissed her mouth.

 

Hakushin was managing to stave off his own release and she snarled out loudly as her walls clamped down on him and her claws ended up raking down his back. He stayed silent as it stung but his own body was fighting to unleash and he choked. Her yoki was clashing against his natural powers and he succumbed. Asuna felt the first wash of the unbelievable power and it blacked her out. Hakushin was trembling as he flooded her fully with his whole being. Loving her and making love to her was akin to Nirvana in his mind and he felt badly for a second for thinking so. He did not want to leave her body and he allowed himself to feel her after so long. She came to slowly and she released a deep breath.

 

“That was amazing.” Asuna said with a slight slur in her tone.

 

“Are you okay?” Hakushin asked with such gentleness.

 

“Hai. Just so wonderful. Hakushin, please more. I have been so ridiculous.” She said bucking her hips.

 

He gasped and forgot himself as he lost himself in this moment. His lips proceeded to kiss and suckle everywhere he could reach as they lost themselves to the utter passion.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They were asleep on a simple futon in a small hut. There were furs on the makeshift bed and he had brought her to his home that he had made. He felt such guilt at not tending his sick people but he also knew more sickness would await him. She had yet to tell him what she wanted but it was just nice to have her here and be able to express himself. She was acting differently towards him and extremely passionate. She stretched and he marveled at how beautiful she was. He really did not care that she was a youkai and he found her strength amazing.

 

“Your mind is buzzing.” She said with her eyes still shut.

 

“I am only curious is all. What happens between us himegimi that you keep saying you are stupid or ridiculous?” He asked.

 

“In the era that I returned to; I was still so young. I was frightened for you and myself.” She admitted.

 

“We fought.” Hakushin stated.

 

“Hai. It was bitter and you accused me of being a coward and you were right but I could not admit it. I do need you but I want it to be because you wish it not because you feel beholden.” Asuna whispered.

 

“I wish to help you.” He said threading his fingers through her hair.

 

“Thank you.” Asuna said receiving his kisses.

 

His brownish black hair fell around them as he held his upper chest up. She stared up into his beautiful eyes as he stared down at her.

 

“Explain to me what you need from me.” Hakushin said with tremendous softness.

 

“You are the most powerful houshi I know. I am being hunted by a group of youkai called the Shouten. They are wraiths and they dwell between this plane and one afterlife.” She explained.

 

“There are such creatures?” He asked surprised.

 

“Hai. It seems I was a Tomoshibi in a previous life.” Asuna replied as she reached up and fisted his hair.

 

“You wish me to help you fight these beings?” He asked and he gave into his desires.

 

He began to slowly press his groin against hers and she gasped softly. He was only massaging himself against her as she continued to fist his hair.

 

“What else himegimi?” Hakushin asked.

 

“Ramanga uppyr. Dangerous and they indicated that houshi were dangerous to them. Please Hakushin! I want to feel you.” She groaned.

 

He guided himself into her and he rolled them. He kept his hands on her back to keep her from moving and her chest was heaving.

 

“Hakushin. Kamis please.” She moaned.

 

“Shhh himegimi. You feel so good. I wish to feel you like this right now.” He muttered.

 

Asuna became aware of her body perspiring as her yoki was simmering. She shut her eyes and she just felt everything he was. He was clutching at her back and then his hands drifted to her backside and eased her gently. Her mouth fell slack and she began to cry out. Her soft cries were beginning to escalate and Hakushin lifted his hips a little and she was shaking harder.

 

“Why did we fight?” Hakushin asked in a low tone.

 

“Because of my insecurities.” She moaned out.

 

“Because you are youkai and I am ningen.” He whispered.

 

“No more. I swear no more.” Asuna whimpered.

 

“Asuna, I will defend you with my all but I only wish to love you.” He replied.

 

She found his mouth and she could not control the wild emotions or noises as she muffled her own cries of a massive completion by kissing him. She laid her face in his juncture to catch her breath.

 

“Shall I find you in your era?” He asked in a soft whisper.

 

“I think it best.” She said sleepily.

 

 

“Sleep my himegimi and we will talk later.” He said holding her.

 

She did fall asleep still laying on him and he was holding her tightly.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Akemi had received a letter that was confusing but it made sense. She stood up and she looked around her home. Her cousin was here from a distant era and she had asked her to come. She had said she was in Southern Honshu and Akemi went to her son. He smiled at his tiny mother as she needed him to port her to the main island. Ryuu did so and she was walking along. She allowed herself to feel for Asuna's aura and she did. She also felt a tremendously powerful monk too. That confused her and she came upon a scene that startled her. Asuna was sitting cross legged across from a gorgeous ningen who was telling her to breathe deeply and concentrate.

 

“You were teaching my cousin how to pray houshi?” Akemi asked amused.

 

Hakushin turned to see a small female that resembled his beloved and she came forward.

 

“Akemi! You came! Thank the Kamis.” Asuna said in relief.

 

“I found it odd to receive a letter from my cousin who has not even been born yet.” She said wryly.

 

“Hai well necessity demanded it. Hakushin this is my cousin Lady Akemi. Akemi this houshi is Saint Hakushin.” Asuna said in introduction.

 

“As in the Saint Hakushin.” She said surprised.

 

“I am Hakushin but I do believe the saint part is a little over the top.” He chuckled.

 

“You freaking gorgeous!” Akemi stated bluntly.

 

Asuna blurted out in laughter and Hakushin actually blushed softly. He stared up at the pretty onna who had conflicting auras.

 

“What you sense is my bastard past. When I was still hanyou Asuna's mother had to change me to a bitten uppyr. My mother is a miko and that is what you feel.” She said sitting.

 

“Amazing.” He said softly as he stared at Asuna.

 

She could see the look on his face and he was wondering if it possible to have a child with a full youkai.

 

“It is possible but difficult. My babe Hana's sire is Lord Tekeshi. The Northern inu mated with miko and houshi to infuse spiritual powers upon themselves.” She shrugged.

 

“You could carry my child?” He asked with tenderness in his eyes.

 

“It is possible.” She nodded.

 

“Would you?” He asked.

 

“Hai.” She said with a soft smile.

 

“Whoa wait a minute! You and he are doing the deed?” Akemi asked surprised.

 

“Hai. I mated him and made him immortal.” Asuna said leaning back.

 

“What era do you come from Suna?” Her cousin asked surprised.

 

“The one your mother is from.” She replied bluntly.

 

“That far?” She asked shaking her head.

 

“It was important. Oh dear they are moving.” She said as one pup kicked her.

 

“You have pups?” Akemi asked squealing.

 

“Hai. Come cousin. Come feel the daughter of the Panyu lord and the youngest of Naraku.” She said exposing her belly.

 

Akemi came over and she marveled at the yoki she felt. Hakushin watched the two and it seemed as though they were sisters and not cousins. They chatted and Asuna began to reveal what she needed and who she was hunting. Hakushin listened and he realized the Shouten creatures would not do well with holy powers. He was fascinated by the descriptions of creatures he could only imagine and Akemi listened too. Asuna was careful not to say too much and she decided she had much more discovering to do. It was nice to relax with a wonderful man and her cousin as they just communed.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Akemi stood in the shrine of the dragon kami; Tianlong and Asuna had told her that he was a real entity and that he truly did watch over her people. Her head was bowed and she was bothered by her cousin's unspoken words. She knew Asuna too well and her cousin was worried; Asuna was now running around Europe looking for a creature that she called a basilisk. She was also told to please stay in touch with Saint Hakushin. She still marveled at that one.

 

“Akemi?” Ryukotsusei called from the door.

 

“Hai?” She said looking back at the love of her life.

 

“Are you okay? Ryuu said he took you to Honshu. Is there something remiss?” Her mate asked softly.

 

“Not really. Everything is ok Ryu. Asuna is here.” She said softly.

 

“Your cousin? This far back?” The dragon lord asked surprised.

 

“Hai. Ryu there is a war going on and she will not tell me it all but she is scared. Asuna is never scared. Sometimes she is so brash but never afraid.” Akemi said in a worried tone.

 

“She called on you why?” He asked nearing his petite mate.

 

“She asked for me to listen for rumors and keep an eye out for ancient reptiles called wyvern. She did not say why but I can tell it was important.” She said as she bowed her head to the statue of the ancient dragon lord.

 

“Wyvern are from Europe. They are ancient and freakish creatures.” Ryukotsusei stated as he watched his mate.

 

“Hai. You look pensive.” She said cupping his face.

 

“Asuka is not doing well and my brother is beside himself. I was hoping you could check on her.” He stated.

 

Akemi stood and immediately went to her sister in law. Asuka had been in labor for a few days and she came to her. Asuka looked weakly over at her lady and sister in law; she gave a weak smile and Akemi wiped her brow.

 

“Asuka you are not progressing.” Akemi said softly.

 

“I know. I should have had the babe by now.” She said in such a weak tone.

 

“I can try to cut the babe out.” She said taking her hands.

 

“Hai. Ryuu is worried. Please tell Ryuu no worries.” Her sweet sister in law said.

 

“Hai. Let me get my things.” She said.

 

Asuka nodded and Akemi stood slowly. She walked quickly to her chambers and Ryuu was near. The look on his face broke her heart and he stared at Akemi.

 

“She should have had the babe.” He whispered in fear.

 

“Ryuu, I will try and save them. I must go brother.” She said bowing.

 

“Please Kemi. Please sister. Please.” He said suddenly falling to his knees near her.

 

She kissed his bowed head and she hurried. The next several hours were a blur and Akemi had never felt so helpless in her life. Asuka had actually gone into full labor and she had strained so badly. Ryuu was pacing and Ryukotsusei tried to calm his brother but the birth was going terribly.

 

“I need more rags. Kamis please!” Akemi cried out.

 

Asuka lifted her head and it dawned on her that she would not live the night. She saw so much blood and she suddenly grabbed Akemi's hand.

 

“I feel myself fading.” Asuka whispered.

 

“Do not say that Asuka! Damnit!” She cursed trying to staunch the bleeding.

 

“Akemi please have Ryuu come here.” Her sister in law said weakly.

 

Akemi nodded and she called for Ryuu to enter the birthing room. The younger dragon lord cried out and he took his mate's hand. Akemi was crying as she tried to help the babe out and it was just not happening. Asuka looked at Ryuu with tears glazed eyes and she palmed his cheek.

 

“I am sorry. I failed you. Forgive me Ryuu.” She whispered.

 

“Do not be foolish. You have not failed me.” He said kissing her hands.

 

“I love you my lord. I am so sorry. They are calling me.” She said as her face was drained of all color.

 

“Asuka please. Onna please I cannot live without you.” Ryuu begged.

 

“Ryuu you must. I tried. I am so tired.” Asuka said in a whisper.

 

Ryuu began weeping and his mate's hand slowly went limp. Akemi screamed in frustration and Ryukotsusei watched his younger brother fall across the body of his mate. He was weeping and begging her to stay and his heart broker for the younger male.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Akemi was sitting in her bedroom unable to move. She stared out at the palm tree jungle as she felt wretched. It was rare that she could not save an onna in birth. Ryukotsusei came in and he sat near his mate.

 

“The babe was dead already.” She said bitterly.

 

“Akemi it was not your fault. Ryuu does not blame you.” He said perplexed.

 

“Then who is to blame Ryu? I should have been able to save her!” She said devastated.

 

“Akemi you are not a Kami.” He said sighing heavily.

 

His brother was in his chambers in his true form and he was refusing to allow his mate her honors. The castle was in mourning and he had been trying to convince him of allowing them to cremate his mate and son. Akemi stood and she went to Ryuu's room. He was coiled and he lifted his dragon head.

 

“Ryuu. Please my dear brother. We have to honor her.” Akemi said reaching for his snout.

 

“That means she will be gone always.” He said in a beastly tone.

 

“She would want to be honored so she could move on Ryuu. I know my brother; I feel your pain and know I will beg your forgiveness for all time but you loved Asuka. Love her enough now to let her go.” She implored him.

 

He changed form and he lifted up the body of his beloved mate. He began weeping again and he held onto her tightly. Akemi felt Ryunosuke at the door and he had some fellow priests with him. Ryuu reluctantly allowed them to take Asuka's body and the younger brother of the feared Ryukotsusei lay on the floor and cried bitterly.

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

Akemi was in the temple and she was mad. She was furious as she stomped in front of the statue.

 

“She tells me you are real. She tells me you watch over us! How could you let her die? Why could I not save her?” She raged at the golden effigy.

 

“Sometimes I am not allowed to interfere.” She heard from behind her.

 

“Why not? Asuka was good! Asuka and Ryuu loved each other!” She said almost hysterically.

 

“Hai you are right and she was good. I wish I could have done something but it was her time.” He stated.

 

“I should have been able to save her!” Akemi cried.

 

“Youkai are not guaranteed immortality. They have the ability to have long lives but death can befall all. It was her time and she will be reborn. Lady Akemi you know this.” The ancient dragon said.

 

“Well I think it sucks! I think it wrong and you are supposed to a dragon kami Tianlong.” She said wiping away angry tears.

 

“Even Kami have their limits. I must go and I will look out for her in the afterlife.” Tianlong said and then he was gone.

 

Akemi was in anguish and she felt worse for Ryuu. She went to her brother in law who was sitting on the shore with a short sword in his hand. His wrists had been slit and she cried out. She flared her purity and made him heal. He looked at her with tortured eyes and he choked down his misery. He had not cut deeply enough but he had stopped because he had promised his Asuka.

 

“Akemi.” He cried as she wrapped her arms around him tightly.

 

“Ryuu please do no do that again. Please brother.” She said as the surf crashed upon the jutting rocks.

 

“How can I live without her?” He asked hoarsely.

 

“I do not know. I know I will do whatever as I can.” She said holding him tightly.

 

Ryuu was emotional and falling apart. Ryukotsusei stood on the bluff overlooking the shore and his heart bled for his younger brother. He could only imagine how much agony he would be in if something happened to his beloved. He slowly stepped back and allowed his mate to work her magic.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ryuu was wrapped around Akemi as they slept on the shore. She had held him until he had passed out from exhaustion. His heart was broken and he knew his brother was ghosting the shore. Akemi stirred and he heard her stomach growl loudly.

 

“Akemi. Sister you need to feed.” He said dully.

 

“I will hunt in a little while. Do you need anything?” Akemi asked.

 

“I need to know my sister in law is not starving.” Ryuu stated in a low tone.

 

She rolled her eyes and she felt him guide her towards his neck. Ryuu and she had always gotten along well and she decided to accommodate him. She slipped her fangs into his jugular and Ryuu sucked in his breath. She was not trying to make it overtly sexual but it just happened from her bite. She took only enough to soothe her empty stomach and she pulled back.

 

“That was not nearly enough.” He sighed.

 

“I cannot feed from you Ryuu.” She said trying to pull away.

 

“You give me some peace Kemi. Please.” He asked in a pleading tone.

 

She looked at him and slipped her fangs into his throat. The pleasure suddenly was keen and it wiped out his pain. Things were too intense and he suddenly ported them. She was surprised at his actions and he held her as she drank.

 

“I do not care if you kill me. Drain me if you want.” He said holding her tighter.

 

She knew he suffered and she changed the sensations. He gasped sharply and the pleasure was overwhelming and he felt her licking her fang marks. Each movement of her tongue had him quivering and Ryuu also realized that his body had stirred. Her felt her lips brush his skin and he could feel his organ strain and twitch.

 

“Akemi?” He groaned.

 

She slowly pulled back and they stared at the other.

 

“I want you not to hurt.” She whispered.

 

“Thank you. Is your stomach full?” He asked.

 

“Hai.” Akemi nodded.

 

He extracted himself and he was fighting back his lust. He moved further away and he could not believe himself. Ryuu ended up having to wrap his hand around his length. He should not be feeling this but her uppyr nature was powerful. He felt dirty at having just lost Asuka.

 

“I am sorry. I should be more respectful.” She said from behind him.

 

“No. You are alright. I am reacting to your bite.” Ryuu stated in a strained voice.

 

“I wanted you to forget your pain.” She said coming up behind him.

 

His eyes rolled back and her hand joined his. He gasped as she grasped his hand as he stroked the aching length. She was making him fully concentrate on something other then Asuka and his mind was primitive. He lowered his head as his body was responding to the ministrations. Ryuu groaned as his body came hard and she kissed his shoulder.

 

“I should go.” Akemi said gently.

 

“Hai.” Ryuu said with his eyes closed.

 

Akemi drifted and she stared back. She had done something she would never have thought but it had given him peace for a little while. She was not aware she was being watched and she went back to the castle.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Drostan had been in conference with Raganos tr'Awnhi and he decided to follow the succubus to the past. He had spied the woman he wanted and it irked him terribly that she even touched the foul water dragon. She was on a path back to the castle and he stepped out. Akemi stiffened and she turned around.

 

“It is disgusting what they call reptiles in this wasteland.” He chuckled.

 

“What the hell??” She asked shocked.

 

“Not exactly and you speak perfect English. This makes me so damned angry that you do not remember me. No matter though. I am going to make you scream.” Drostan said grabbing her.

 

“Unhand me!” She screamed.

 

“I have waited too long for you Akemi. Hush my lover.” He said covering her mouth with his.

 

Her mouth was invaded by an expert tongue and she groaned. Drostan was going to give her his venom and he was almost giddy. He ripped his lips from hers and slipped his fangs into her neck and she gasped. He leached the venom slowly and his eyes were glowing an eerie color. She felt warmth and pain but his made soft hissing noises. She felt herself ported somewhere else. Drostan had to leach the venom slowly and over some time and he laid her back on his opulent bed. Akemi was paralyzed at the moment and he lay next to her so he could continue to make her immune to his venom.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Akemi came to slowly and she was staring up at a beautiful man but he looked sinister as hell. She was weak and she blinked her blue eyes at him.

 

“You will probably feel badly for a little while. I am sorry to have to do it but I had to prepare your body.” He whispered.

 

“Who are you?” She asked hoarsely.

 

“Drostan Mochrie. I am the king of the Celtic wyvern.” He smiled.

 

“Wyvern? Asuna said but you are the reason…” She tried to say.

 

“Your cousin will die for her allegiances. You on the other hand will not. Akemi, I have waited so long.” He said and she felt something totally foreign.

 

Drostan had them both naked and her eyes widened. She realized she was filled with him and it was so different. She gasped in deep breaths and the pleasure was almost too much. Her cries were loud and he moved slowly so that she would have multiple releases. He watched her face awash in pleasure and he was staving off his own need to pummel her hard. She was groaning and screaming and she slowly lifted her head; she snapped her fangs around his jugular and he moaned deeply as powerful waves of her purity consumed them both. He was holding her tightly to him as he emptied his seed. He grunted as he fell back and she was shaking. A small smile graced his features and she was suddenly up and freaking out.

 

“Why would you touch me?” She asked in a snarl.

 

“Because I have become smitten. I will take you back now. I just wanted to feel you.” He smirked.

 

Akemi stared at him in shock and he slipped from his bed. He ran his tongue along her neck and she groaned a little.

 

“You are immune to me now. I make myself vulnerable to you woman but it shows you how much I want you.” He said palming her breasts.

 

“I know you in another era.” She said shaking.

 

“Yes. Gods my tiny and beautiful woman. I love your mammalian nature.” He said bending his head down and licked along her bared breasts.

 

“Please stop!” She said mortified with herself.

 

“Sweet Akemi. Almost virginal you are. So different from Valentina. I will take you back now.” He said ghosting his lips along her neck.

 

She dove for her kimono and he chuckled loudly. He shifted them back to her home and she looked wildly around and he was gone. She was shaking in self loathing and she ran fast to the beach. She felt sick and proceeded to vomit. She did not notice Ryuu and he was in his true form. He came up behind her and nudged her with his snout. He could taste a strange reptile on her and she was vomiting.

 

“Kemi? Kemi!” He said changing form.

 

“This creature grabbed me.” She said hysterically.

 

“What was it?” He asked gently.

 

“Wyvern.” She said shaking.

 

“Calm down sister. Please.” He said holding her tightly.

 

“Oh Kamis Ryuu! He did something to me.” Akemi screamed.

 

“Okay. It will be okay.” Ryuu said calming her down.

 

“I cannot tell Ryu that I have betrayed him.” She said getting downright crazed.

 

“Akemi, I will shelter you. I will protect you okay? Let me handle my brother and I will find this beast for touching you!” He growled fiercely.

 

“I am sorry. I am so sorry. You should not have to do this.” Akemi lamented.

 

“No! It is okay. Asuka would want me to protect your honor.” He said holding her face between his palms.

 

“My cousin is around here. She came to the past and she is somewhere. Please find a houshi near Fuji named Housei.” She said wiping her eyes.

 

“I will do that. Sister you must get yourself calm. Ryukotsusei will go into a murderous rage. Wash yourself in the water.” He said softly.

 

She nodded and he helped her with her kimono. He knew his brother and the rage that would consume him would be terrible. He could be calmer and he watched her step into the shallow water. He noticed purplish wounds in her throat and he wondered at the meaning. He made a very reptile like sound and he neared her.

 

“Akemi, what did this bastard say?” He asked.

 

“He said he was smitten with me. He knew me in another era. He said he had to prepare my body.” Akemi said trying to scrub her skin.

 

Ryuu waded out into the water and gripped her shoulders. He was horrified at what was going through his mind but he turned her around to face him. He stood almost a foot taller and she had to look up at him. She was in turmoil and he was in turmoil. His breathing was uneven and cupped her cheeks in his hands.

 

“Sister. I am so ashamed of myself. I should not have allowed this creature to take you. You are here now crying and I should have not wallowed so much.” Ryuu said horrified.

 

“How could you know. It is not your fault. He made me enjoy it. He is different.” She said turning red.

 

“He is an ancient reptile it seems. Asian dragons have been isolated and we have evolved differently.” He stated staring at her blue eyes.

 

“I did not want to enjoy it.” She said blinking back tears.

 

“You are not wrong Akemi.” He said pulling her into a hug.

 

He knew of an onsen and he ported them there. She would have more privacy and she reached up for him. They both suffered it seemed and she pulled his head down. She pressed their foreheads together and his heart ached so badly. Ryuu could not think past his pain and now his anger. Her lips softly pressed against his and he reacted violently. He attacked her mouth and he began kissing her like a starved man. He was being reckless and not thinking. Akemi's fingers were busy fisting his white hair as he settled her back. Neither was acting themselves and she cried out her rapture as he moved urgently within her body. Ryuu had no idea what possessed him and he was consumed in the most peaceful and riveting bliss he had ever experienced. Her cries of completion rocked him and he was again kissing her passionately. In the back of his mind he knew he would burn in hell but somehow this made his pain manageable. She also responded to his need and it overwhelmed him. He would rather be the bastard then this foreign beast.

Akemi was on her futon and she was overwhelmed in exhaustion. Ryuu had left the previous evening without warning and Ryukotsusei was upset by it. She knew where he was going and she had begged him to stay. He had actually passionately kissed her and told her it gave him purpose. She had let him go without further protest. Ryukotsusei stared down at his tiny mate and he was worried. Akemi had fallen back into a really deep sleep and she was normally up with the sun. He called on the ancient dragoness that was his healer and she was checking over beloved mate.

 

“She is with child.” Rena whispered.

 

“What?” The Dragon lord asked shocked.

 

“Hai my lord. This is most strange. She has strange wounds on her neck.” The healer said looking her over.

 

Rena was staring the fang marks of a poisonous reptile and she stared at Ryukotsusei in surprise.

 

“Where has my lady been?” She asked.

 

“She has been helping Lord Ryuu.” He said upset.

 

“No. This is a wyvern bite my lord.” Rena said shaking her head.

 

“Those ancient beasts that hail from Europe?” He asked surprised.

 

“Hai my lord. My lady is not well.” She stated concerned.

 

Ryukotsusei shook Akemi awake and she stared up at Ryukotsusei. His face held malice and she was so tired.

 

“Akemi what happened?” He demanded.

 

“I was taken.” She whispered in a frightened tone.

 

“By a wyvern?” He thundered.

 

“Why?” Ryukotsusei roared.

 

“The wyvern indicated he knew me in another time. He used me.” Akemi said shamefully.

 

Ryukotsusei stood in anger and stared at her in fury.

 

“Why did you not come to me?” He asked in a hate filled tone.

 

“Because I do not want you to go after him.” She said shrinking back.

 

“He dishonors you and as your mate it is my right to go after him!” The dragon lord snarled.

 

“I did not want you to! He is powerful and I did not want you in danger because of me!” She cried.

 

“Oh Akemi. You silly overprotective onna! I am your mate! Did you tell Ryuu?” Ryukotsusei asked.

 

“He saw the evidence of my violation.” She said unable to look at him.

 

“He went in my stead. Kamis damn Akemi. You are pregnant!” He said in anger.

 

“My lord I feel two auras.” Rena stated.

 

“Two?” He asked dumbfounded.

 

“Hai.” His long time healer stated.

 

“Akemi?” Ryukotsusei asked sitting.

 

“One is dragon and the other is one of those unnatural beasts.” Rena stated in contempt.

 

“That bastard's seed shares your womb with my child?” Ryukotsusei asked in shock.

 

“Hai.” Akemi stated with a burning face.

 

“This wyvern is purely reptile?” The dragon lord asked.

 

“Hai my lord. Ancient reptiles that are cold blooded.” She answered.

 

“It is still a fellow reptile. Your cousin tried to warn you.” He said barely suppressing his anger.

 

“I did not intend to betray you.” She said as tears fell down her face.

 

“Akemi, I am not stupid onna. I know what other reptiles are capable of. You were induced into rutting but it is still rape in my mind. It is still a violation and by the Kamis this bastard will die!” He roared.

 

Ryuu the younger and Ryunosuke heard the ruckus and they flew into their parents' room. They saw their mother upset terribly and their father had burning eyes.

 

“Ryuu. You are regent in my absence. Ryunosuke guard your mother with everything. I want a guard on her twenty four hours a day. Rena make sure of her health. I am going after this beast.” Ryukotsusei stated as he went to his wall and pulled down his fang.

 

“Ryu please!” Akemi begged.

 

“Do not beg me to stay and not defend your honor!” He yelled.

 

“Please Ryu please! I cannot handle this right now. Please Ryukotsusei.” She said getting up and clutching him.

 

“Rena?” He asked her softly.

 

“There is a dragon babe within my lord. I feel its aura.” She said softly.

 

“Akemi. My precious Kemi.” Ryukotsusei stated making her look up at him.

 

“He is evil. I do not want you harmed. I do not want Ryuu harmed.” Akemi stated pleading.

 

“Ryuu just lost Asuka; he is bound to be reckless Akemi.” Her mate fumed.

 

“I am sorry. I am so sorry.” She said wiping tears from her face.

 

“Let me find my brother. You my mate stay where you can be safe. No shrines or anything.” He commanded.

 

She nodded and he left their chambers. His white hair had been unbound and trailed behind him. She looked at her sons and they looked saddened. Rena left for the moment and Akemi got her wits about her. She stood up and ran to her wardrobe and threw on a heavy kimono.

 

“Ryuu, I want you to take me to Honshu, near Fuji.” She commanded.

 

“Mother! Father commanded us to stay here and guard you.” He protested.

 

“I know but I have to do something!” She cried.

 

Ryuu knew better then to argue with her and he grabbed her. He ported with her and she ran to the shrine that housed the monks. She called Hakushin's alias and he came out. He saw Asuna's cousin and she was panicked.

 

“Please houshi! I need your help.” Akemi cried.

 

“Lady Akemi what is wrong?” He asked gently.

 

“I have to find Asuna.” She said with trembling hands.

 

“Tell me what has happened.” Hakushin said calmly.

 

“A wyvern showed up and my brother in law and mate have gone after him.” She said shakily.

 

“Okay. Let us go back to your home and we will track down Asuna okay?” He said squeezing her hands.

 

“Thank you houshi.” She said shaking.

 

Hakushin saw her eldest son and he ported all three of them back to Dragon lands. Ryuu was curious but kept his mouth shut. Ryunosuke walked out when he felt the powerful holy aura and immediately went to his knees. Hakushin hid a smile and realized that this dragon was a devout Buddhist monk.

 

“You are Saint Hakushin.” Ryunosuke whispered.

 

“I am but you do not bow to me. Please stand.” He said blushing a little.

 

“I am honored to meet you revered one.” Her youngest son said in complete awe.

 

“Ryunosuke sweetie. He is a man just like you.” Akemi stated.

 

“No mother! He is a saint.” The younger dragon stated in obvious fascination.

 

“I need to find Lady Asuna. Your elder son can teleport me correct?” Hakushin stated.

 

“Hai I can. Where is my cousin?” Ryuu asked.

 

“Somewhere on the mainland near Panyu.” He said.

 

Ryuu nodded and took the monk's arm. They ported to the mainland and Hakushin knew she was looking for any basilisk that may be around. He could feel her and she was by his side so fast it was dizzying.

 

“Hakushin what is wrong?” She asked.

 

“Your cousin was accosted by a creature called a wyvern.” He said softly.

 

“Shit!” She cursed.

 

“Cousin please come. Uncle Ryuu and Father have both gone.” Ryuu the younger stated.

 

Asuna nodded and she was in a really sour mood. She had fought with Teegan and she had actually arrogantly taken up with Jin in his chambers. The golden was humiliated and had left court for a little while. She could honestly care less and she was glad she could make the bitch jealous. She also knew what the onna was capable of and she was on her guard. Flashes of Mizuki's birth flashed in her mind but she put it out of her head.

 

“Let us go.” She said firmly.

 

“Hai.” They all said.

 

Hakushin took her hand and she suddenly backed up.

 

“I have to tell Jin. I will be right back.” She said porting out.

 

She appeared in Jin's study and he looked up. She gave him a soft smile and he smiled in return.

 

“My cousin was attacked. I must go and help.” Asuna said nearing him.

 

“I cannot talk you out of it can I?” Jin said clenching his teeth.

 

“No. I have a powerful houshi as an ally and I will protect these pups unto death okay?” She said palming his cheek.

 

“This is why we argue in the other era is it not? I loose my mind and my head when you go into danger.” He said frustrated.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“I am insanely passionate about you and I cannot handle the damn separations.” Jin sighed as he stood up.

 

“Without saying too much, hai we argue often and you are opinionated about everything. You feel an over protectiveness of me and it drives me nuts.” Asuna shrugged.

 

“But you are in great danger.” He said firmly.

 

“I am in danger hai. I am always in danger. I have to stop my enemies. I have some that want me dead and another that wants me as a pet so he can control my yoki and beget a powerful heir.” She growled.

 

“Sickening.” He said growling too.

 

“So I must do this and hai I am pupped but this is for family. You are the same. Family is everything to you.” Asuna replied.

 

Jin nodded and he felt wretched. He did not know how he was supposed to try and keep Teegan around when his feelings for her were becoming violent.

 

“Allow me to assist you then. Please let me be protective until she is born.” He said gripping his desk.

 

Asuna nodded slowly and he sighed in relief. He moved around the desk and pulled her to him. He cupped the back of her head and pressed his lips to hers. She automatically opened her lips to him and he growled appreciatively. He slowly pulled back and pressed his cheek to hers.

 

“Kamis I never thought I would want something like this so much.” He said massaging her back.

 

“Hai.” She said smiling.

 

“What are we fighting?” He asked.

 

“Wyverns.” She muttered.

 

“I believe they are ancient reptiles?” He asked in a questioning tone.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

She ported them to Hakushin and Ryuu; Jin was surprised but bowed before the holy man and dragon. Ryuu eyed Asuna and knew things were fixing to get a little hairy and confusing. He also knew his uncle and sire were going to either kill or nearly get killed. He was not looking forward to either prospect and they all ported back to Dragon lands and prepared for a battle.
