Playing the Enemy

 

Asuna was instantly in Britain and she was busy getting dressed into battle gear. Lei, Hanaj, and Shan Lao came in and stared at her as she strapped old style armor in place.

 

“What is going on?” Lei demanded.

 

“Maec just told me that the wyvern have Amedeo and he has Justinus.” She snarled.

 

“Asuna, do not be brash.” Shan Lao said.

 

“No!” She said freaking.

 

“Listen to Shan Lao.” Hanaj demanded.

 

“I said no!” Asuna said jerking away.

 

She ported away and Yhea heard her. He phased out and he appeared beside her. She jumped and looked over at him.

 

“Let's go get the snakes.” He said smiling.

 

“Thank you Yhea.” She said with a trembling lip.

 

“Just do not cry.” He said rolling his eyes.

 

She growled and he kept in his chuckle. She was unsure of when to go and Yhea was pacing.

 

“Your son is fine I am sure. I imagine you are going nuts knowing Maec has him but it would not be smart of him to hurt him. How old is the little tyke?” Yhea asked.

 

“Almost four.” She said shaking.

 

“Okay. I am sure he has his yoki and I am sure the little bugger could petrify the hell out of anyone by now. If he felt he was in danger then he would have done so. Maec could not have had him that long. Knowing you, you will wish to get the little snake first and then get his father. Now knowing Astana; he will not be in Astana. They will have him in one of the outlying palaces in another part of the world. Knowing my adopted grandfather's legend, he is brilliant and he is a tactician like you are. He is doing this to draw you in so he knows you will come after him.” He stated.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“So you will go after him.” He stated as he shifted his appearance.

 

Her jaw dropped and a small smile spread on her face.

 

“So it is true. Shouten are honestly true shape shifters.” She said in a whisper.

 

“We do not do it often simply because this is the most draining of our abilities. I will face Maec and you will go after the kid.” Yhea shrugged.

 

“Brilliant idea.” Asuna said with a hopeful look.

 

“Let us go now. Search in India or Nepal.” He said.

 

“Central Asia.” She stated.

 

“Yes. I will phase us into Hueco Mundo.” He said taking her hand.

 

She suddenly jerked him forward and searched his face that mirrored hers for the moment. He shifted his appearance back and his eyes held her for a moment before she crashed her lips to his. Yhea groaned for a moment as she sought entrance into his mouth. He gave into his pent up desire and he reached up to hold the back of her head and threaded his other hand in her silver tresses. She was wild as she sought to deepen it but he broke the quickly maddening caress. She growled in annoyance and he shook his head to clear it.

 

“We should go.” He said in a harsh whisper.

 

“You are now denying me?” She asked in anger.

 

“I am now having common sense. I refuse to play like a fool. I was a simpering sod all my life and I followed after someone who would never have been mine. I have learned to have a little pride. Give me some respect.” Yhea stated in irritation.

 

Asuna was shocked and her body was humming in desire. He phased them into Hueco Mundo and he again shifted his appearance. He then phased away and left her there.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yhea was savagely suppressing his own want but he was bound and determined to have something deeper. He was in Astana and hunting Maec at the moment. The wraith ruler was sure to be around and he was walking the halls of the old palace that he had called home most of his life. While he wore her face; no one would be able to tell him apart. He heard a “tsk” sound and he turned to see Maec.

 

“I knew you would show.” He grinned.

 

“Of course.” Yhea stated.

 

“You are so predictable my luscious little enemy.” The wraith king said smirking.

 

“Really? I am truly so predictable?” The fake Asuna said in a cocky manner.

 

“Yes. Shall we go ahead and posture now? One of us will injure the other and then skulk off. I shall not tell you where your brat is so this is really a waste of time.” Maec said looking at his claws.

 

“Who needs words when I get the information from your head asshole.” Yhea said in a low growl.

 

“You honestly think I cannot put up a powerful mental shield?” He asked suddenly in front of Yhea.

 

The younger wraith back stepped and was astonished at the ruler's speed. He was grabbed by the back of the neck and he snarled as Maec attacked his mouth. He was incensed and raked his claws across his face. Yhea realized that the wraith ruler was intent upon taking Asuna in every manner and it caused him to be incensed. He punched him in the gut and he would end up giving himself away if he did not get away from him. Maec managed to again kiss him brutally and Yhea was sickened. He felt severe revulsion as he shoved him back. He allowed his toxin to flow and it appeared as her Dakkasou and Maec phased out quickly.

 

“You nasty little whore. You love to try and use that nasty stuff. I am sure you doctor bug told you what it does.” He hissed.

 

“No exactly so enlighten me.” Yhea purred.

 

“Oh, I shall not.” He stated in a maddened tone.

 

Yhea was at a major disadvantage not having her true power and he was just here to give her time to get her son. He hoped and prayed it was enough. He refused to copulate to let her get her kid though. That was just a little much. He may have liked a male or two in his life but Maec was nothing he wanted. It seemed Maec was intent on trying to take her to do just that and he made himself appear to port out. Maec was right behind and he realized he was in trouble. He was in serious trouble and he used his toxin in a ball that slammed into Maec.

 

“Owe! That hurt!” Maec chuckled.

 

“Fuck off!” Yhea shouted.

 

Maec was curious as to why she was being so careful and he was betting she was trying to cover up for someone else. He tackled her to the ground and tried to sink his fangs into her but she was fighting.

 

“I imagine you have help but your son is not here.” He said laughing.

 

She snarled in anger at his assertions as he taunted her and she brought up her knee and he howled in sudden agony.

 

“Arrogant bastard.” Yhea snarled.

 

Maec fell back in pain and his eyes watered as his groin sent waves of agony through him. He had been kneed so hard he felt as though he was going to vomit.

 

“Sorry but you are not my type.” She said as she stood up.

 

Maec watched as another Asuna ported in and he realized he had been duped. Yhea shifted his appearance and the younger man smirked. Maec grew furious and made himself get to his knees. Asuna moved fast and she had Konkisaiga out. She slashed into Maec's arms that he brought up to cover himself and the wraith ruler shrieked in agony again. He phased out and she whirled around and Maec was behind Yhea. Maec morphed his hand and shoved it into Yhea's neck and Yhea did not cry out but he whirled too and phased his hand into Maec's belly. The wraith ruler saw cruelty displayed on the younger man's face and realized this one had been raised in his own house. Maec released an agonizing shriek and he managed to spy Asuna crumple to the ground. Yhea did not fall but the former Tomoshibi female's injury was in the same place as Yhea's.

 

“So you bound to him too you stupid cunt?” Maec snarled.

 

Asuna looked up and she was in horrid pain as the ash shoki burned at her juncture. Yhea was making himself stay upright and he stepped back. His body was actually shaking and Maec stumbled back. His adopted grandchild had released his own freezing toxin in his bowel and he had to phase away. Yhea fell back and Asuna managed to crawl over to him.

 

“I need you. I cannot phase by myself.” He rasped.

 

Asuna channeled her own yoki into him and he gasped. He pulled on the surge of power and phased them into the other plane. They appeared at Yamasaki General and looked over at her.

 

“Did you retrieve your child?” He asked in pain.

 

“Hai. I have him. He is with Lei and Hanaj at the moment.” She said holding his face.

 

“Good. He is a bad kisser.” Yhea snorted.

“Yhea!” She laughed.

 

“Oh well.” He said laying his head on the floor.

 

“They are coming.” Asuna stated.

 

“Good. I want some of that drug. I do not care if I have a hard on for a week. His toxin hurts like the seven hells. He is ungodly powerful.” He said wanting to pass out.

 

“Okay. I will tell them to drug you till kingdom come.” She said chuckling.

 

“Good. I am glad he is home. Next your basilisk.” He said finally passing out. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx

True to his wishes, Yhea was on a Widow drip and he was high as a kite at the moment. His eyes were closed and he was aroused badly but he was not above taking care of himself. He was thrilled he had a private room but he hated they had to paralyze him to keep him here. Asuna was better as well and she walked into his room. He looked at her and gave her a goofy grin.

 

“How do you feel?” She asked.

 

“Absolutely wonderful. I could become quite addicted to this stuff you know.” He slurred.

 

“Yhea why have you been denying me?” She asked softly.

 

“I have not been denying you.” He said laying his head back.

 

“Hai you have.” Asuna stated in a sour tone.

 

“No, I have not. I have been gaining self respect. There is a difference. Gods, I am so horny.” He said giggling.

 

She got a predatory look on her face but he was not paying her any mind at the moment. Asuna slipped her hand underneath his blanket and his eyes flew open. She was stroking him gently and he moaned rather loudly.

 

“Tell me why you brought me Quon.” She said in a determined tone.

 

“I told you. He meant something to you. I am only trying to atone for my sins against you and no more. Why must I have any more motives then that?” He asked straining.

 

“Yhea.” She said in a strangled whisper.

 

His eyes were shut again as he felt her brush her thumb over the head of his member. He breathed deeply to try and control himself but she was spreading his own fluid.

 

“I had forgiven you a long while ago Yhea. I was furious for a long while but it is over.” She said leaning over and breathing along his manhood.

 

“I know but I have things to prove to myself. I have to prove to myself that I am better than Lei. I have to prove that I am just as much a Jing.” He said as he looked at her with a needy glance.

 

She suddenly climbed up on the bed and he was staring up at her face. She lowered her mouth and instantly deepened it. He gave a throaty groan as she seemed to steal his very soul. Asuna was consumed with possessing and owning him at the moment. He struggled to try and wrench his lips from her and she would not let him. She trapped his head between her arms and began to massage and suck his tongue. Yhea's thought processes were shutting down as sharp jolts were coursing through him. He felt his bottom lip being nibbled and he made a growling sound as she very slowly pulled back. Yhea felt her lips and teeth leave soft nips at his sculpted jaw and he could not take a deep breath. He turned his head a little and kissed her cheek softly as he breathed heavily through emotion and need.

 

“Yhea, I feel someone coming. I want you to imagine me laving my tongue down your chest and your belly. Imagine me running my hands along your thighs.” She whispered.

 

“Oh Gods please do not leave me in this state.” He groaned softly.

 

“You are my mine Shouten. You are mine and I will not share that. I will come back.” She said suddenly porting out.

 

He shut his eyes and he was gritting his teeth hard. He heard someone step in and he looked over to see Shan Lao and Hanaj. He sighed and he acknowledged them the best he could.

 

“How are you son?” Shan Lao asked gently.

 

“I feel like shit honestly.” Yhea said making a face.

 

“You did well. I am glad that you are safe.” The elder Jing said squeezing his son's hand.

 

Hanaj knew the younger male was reacting to the medicine and he suggested after a short while that they leave. Yhea was grateful and he was alone after a time. He slipped his own hand underneath his blanket and he began to stroke his length to ease his raging erection. He closed his eyes and imagined what his defacto mate had suggested so brazenly. His breath hitched as his stroking became urgent but he felt hands stopping his urgency. He groaned and his eyes flew open. She had been true to her word and she closed the door with her mind. Yhea threw his head back and his neck was arched as she began to lick at his head. He made a wounded noise as she sucked only on his mushroom tip and he began to feel that she was going to exact a heavy toll from him. He could barely make out what she was doing and he groaned softly at the sight. He gasped as she tortured him relentlessly as she used her wicked organ to tease and trace along his male flesh.

 

“Asuna, I am hurting!” He moaned.

 

“I know. You are also needing. Do you need me Yhea? Will you give yourself what you need?” She asked in a heavy tone.

 

“Yes! Gods Yes.” He growled out.

 

She used the tip of her tongue to run underneath along the vein and he yelped out. Yhea was panting now as it was drowning his senses. Warm and wet was being laved along his cock but he wanted scorching heat. She gently suckled a testicle and he about lost it there. He made a humming noise as unbearable and what seemed unquenchable need continued to run rampant through every fiber of his being. He lifted his heavy hands and tried to coax her to come to his lips. She released his second testicle and he shuddered again. Yhea felt her tongue along his perineum and physical jolts began again. Asuna was nipping up his belly and tasting his skin every where her tongue could trace a path. His hand tried to capture her head but she captured his fingers in her mouth and swirled her tongue around the tips slowly. He lifted his head from the pillow and he groaned more.

 

“Can you phase my clothes?” She asked softly.

 

“No. I wish I could.” He said shaking his head in the negative.

 

She pulled back and he whined. She undid her black button down and her black silk pants. She revealed a black lace bra that barely covered anything with matching panties. Yhea's mouth went dry as he took her in and he felt totally out of control. She unhooked her bra and let it fall and she slipped down her panties as she slinked forward. She slowly climbed on the bed again and she attacked his mouth. He hungrily claimed her lips as she began to rub her naked flesh against his. He grabbed her backside and he snarled in need as he actually guided her down hard. She released a long moan as he slid into her deep and he whined too as he felt his member being clutched by her walls.

 

“Need me Yhea.” She said in a low growl.

 

“Yes. Gods I need you.” He whispered hoarsely as she began a slow undulation of her hips.

 

He truly felt on another plane and he felt himself beg a little. She was not holding back at all except to keep him from release. He knew when he did, it would drain him. He knew it would simply be the most spectacular one he had ever felt. He also knew without a doubt he was making love. He buried his face into her chest and suckled at her in tremendous need. She was moaning as he did and he was clutching at her skin as he sweat profusely. He was whispering in Kazak and he felt a slow drag on his senses. He was overwhelmed and he realized he was having his culmination. He threw his head back and cried out loudly. Her walls were quivering and milking him. Yhea crashed and he felt her guide him through his haze. He latched on to plush skin and sink in his fangs. He lost it and he lost consciousness.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He came to later and she was asleep next to him. He was groggy and he stared at her.

 

“Asuna.” He croaked.

 

“Mhmm.” She murmured.

 

“Perhaps you should wake up. I am sure you have business elsewhere.” Yhea stated sheepishly.

 

“Not at the moment. You sound hungry.” Asuna mumbled.

 

“Yes.” He said.

 

She was still in a mood and she sat up. She stared down at him with sultry eyes and he stared up at her.

 

“I had them wean you off the paralytic. Your legs should not feel so heavy.” She said running hers along his.

 

“Actually they feel normal. Thank you.” Yhea whispered.

 

“Speak your mind wraith.” She said teasingly.

 

“I am thinking we find your basilisk.” He said trying not to be aroused but failing.

 

“I am thinking that as well but I want you to eat first.” She said tracing his lips with a claw.

 

“I can hunt in a bit.” He stated.

 

“No, I want you to feed from me.” Asuna said smirking.

 

He gently turned her jaw to the side and she growled softly. Yhea was unsure of what she wanted and she rubbed her body against his.

 

“Stop please. I want to yes but it is not the time.” Yhea said narrowing his eyes.

 

“Oh you are not good at taking hints.” She said moving.

 

She slipped her fingers between her nether lips and he watched closely. His breathing was coming a little faster and he was getting the idea. He sat up and moved her thighs apart widely as he lowered his nose to take in her natural aromas. He was getting dizzy and he was so aroused again that he could have drowned in her at that moment.

 

“Do it Yhea.” She said in a heavy whisper.

 

“Gods. I will not be able to stop. I will have to take you in. I will have to take you completely.” Yhea stated gulping.

 

“Sounds luscious.” She purred.

 

He had no clue when she had turned on him. She was culling a deep and passionate response from him and he leaned over her and he phased them out. They were in her Tokyo home and she was smiled up at him. She wrapped her hand around his length and she fingered the many piercing of one ear. His eyes rolled back as she touched him softly.

 

“What do you want to do Yhea?” Asuna asked.

 

“Stop talking.” He shuddered as pleasure raced through him.

 

“Why?” She asked.

 

“Gods!” He hissed as he suddenly attacked her mouth viciously.

 

She was surprised but it was welcomed. Yhea was snarling into the intense lip lock that had blood spilt from it. Asuna was not holding back either and he slammed his hips into her and she groaned loudly. He intended to drive her to the edge and then drink when she climaxed. He would be so drunk but it would be incredible. Yhea was maddened and he continued to drive himself into her harder and she scored his back as she cried out harder. He was growling harder too and he suddenly pulled out right before a wave of euphoria took them both. She snarled in annoyance and then arched when he slipped his fangs around her labia. He lost his mind to the drugging effects of the blood and he took in quite a bit. He pulled back and she had released a short scream and her body shook in rapture. He fell beside her and he was trembling too.

 

“I feel so drunk.” Yhea said in a slur.

 

“Amazing Yhea.” She groaned.

 

“I cannot see straight.” He admitted.

 

“You took in blood; you should be able to see.” She said running her hands down her belly.

 

“I can see just not straight.” Yhea said feeling the wash of rapture.

 

She was feeling really good herself and she stared at him. He looked delicious at the moment and he undid his ebony hair all the way.

 

“What are you doing Yhea?” She asked.

 

“I feel decadent at the moment. I swear I am high.” He said lying back and stretching.

 

She sat up and leaned over him. He watched her face and her eyes were still red. He was enthralled with her and she knew it. He knew it too and he lifted his head when she crawled into his lap.

 

“Do you still want him Yhea?” She asked.

 

“Eyal?” He asked dumbly.

 

“Hai.” She smirked.

 

“He is a memory now. Past obsession.” He shrugged.

 

“Really?” Asuna questioned.

 

He scowled and she lowered her lips to his neck. She was nuzzling his throat and he groaned. She was being wicked again and she slipped her fangs into his jugular. He gasped deeply and shut his eyes. She was going to have him experience her empusae yoki and he was relishing it.

 

“Yes. Oh Gods yes.” He said in a strangled cry.

 

She lifted her fangs and she was breathing heavily. He spied her through lidded eyes and her mouth was bloody and she looked deadly and wanton.

 

“Say my name wraith.” She said growled.

 

“Asuna.” He growled in return.

 

“You wanted it this way between us. You wanted it just like this, correct?” She demanded.

 

“Yes.” He said biting his lip as she joined them again.

 

“As this becomes more intense then you are mine.” She whispered in a fierce tone.

 

Something in her tone was different and his eyes opened widely and he stared deeply into the eyes of her inu.

 

“What are you saying?” He managed.

 

“I will not share you. I will not allow another to touch you.” She said then ran her tongue along his jaw.

 

“So says whom?” He asked in a groan.

 

“Your master.” She hissed in a passionate way.

 

“I am speaking to your beast.” He said in realization.

 

“Do you not have an inner nature?” She growled louder as she took him harder.

 

“Not like this. I need blood.” Yhea yelped out.

 

She was being rather rough for her but for some reason his earlier refusals and his actions of restoring her beloved Byakko made her inner inu crazed. She thrust his jaw to the side again and sank her fangs deeply into his juncture. His cries echoed around the room and blood spilled from the deep wound in his neck. This was not a feeding bite and it was meant to be seen. Blood was running down his chest and back as she lifted her mouth to his and made him taste his own life force. Yhea snarled out and she was flattened under him. He pinned her down with his body and he unleashed himself. He was suddenly drained and hungry in all ways. Unintentionally they were tearing each other up but he ended up feeding from her again and he had to phase them into Hueco Mundo. He had been unable to maintain his corporeal form on the other plane. He was also in a blood lust of epic proportions and they were both not gentle. Neither was being soft or tender but Yhea suddenly felt for the first time in his life what it meant to be apart of someone else.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He woke up and he was littered with healing bites and the one in his neck was still healing. He was beyond exhausted and sore as hell. She too was littered with bite marks and it had been an intense and marathon session of possession and taking. Asuna was snoring and they were in the bleak deserts of Hueco Mundo.

 

“This will not do.” Yhea muttered.

 

“Huh?” She mumbled.

 

“We are in the desert.” He said sheepishly.

 

“We phased back and forth several times.” Asuna said rolling to her back.

 

“I am sorry. I have no idea what came over me.” He said running a hand through his black hair.

 

“I should apologize to you. My inner inu is rather nasty at times.” She said looking at him.

 

“I have never been so happy in my life.” He admitted.

 

“Why is that?” She asked curiously.

 

“You told me that you wanted me. You told me that I am yours. You said I belong.” Yhea said barely above a whisper.

 

She crawled the short distance to him and she pressed her forehead to his. His black eyes met hers and she kept her breathing even.

 

“I meant every word. I am feeling fiercely Yhea. I am feeling tremendous things.” She said against his lips.

 

“Okay. Let us go find your basilisk.” He said calming his beating heart.

 

“Hai.” She said standing.

 

She found her robe that had been discarded in her reckless passion and Yhea had been brutally marked by her. Asuna was shocked at herself but she would kill anyone who touched him; plain and simple. He phased them back to her Tokyo penthouse so she could shower and change. They had spent two days making rather intense and physical love and the former prince of the Kazak Shouten was worn out. He stood in her doorway and he was watching the city.

 

“Your mind is quiet.” She commented.

 

“I am at peace and no more.” He said softly.

 

“What did Raganos do to your mother?” Asuna asked as she pulled on a sweater.

 

“He loved her but his version of love is obsession. Much how he loves your mother.” He said looking away.

 

“Like Maec?” She asked.

 

“Yes.” He said in a haunted tone.

 

“How you loved.” She said nearing him.

 

“Yes.” He choked looking away.

 

She gently turned his jaw and made him look at her. He did not think his heart could handle pain and he was so jealous of Lei, he could not see straight. He made a wounded noise as their lips met. She was getting too caught up in him and the feel of his soul. She buried her hands in his ebony hair and he could not breathe. She again spilled his blood and he had to swallow. He groaned loudly and it was intimate and beautiful what they were doing.

 

“What in God's name are you doing?” They heard in a tremendous snarl.

 

Asuna jerked back and she turned reddened eyes to Eyal and he stared at Yhea in hatred. He looked at her as if she was the devil too and he suddenly back handed her.

 

“What have you done Shouten?” Eyal hissed in hatred.

 

“Do not hit her again!” Yhea said in fury.

 

“Eyal stop!” Asuna growled.

 

“I control her uppyr! She is mine to do with as I please.” Yhea lied.

 

“Yhea shut up!” She hissed.

 

“Go on Yhea. Tell me what you have done to my wife!” The uppyr ruler said in such profound hatred that it actually frightened her.

 

“I did it to hurt you fool. Worked well did it not? You are such a good fuck too darling. Go skulk back to your uppyr whore. You have been fun but really.” He said disdainfully.

 

She knew what he was doing and he was trying to save face. Eyal wanted to believe it and she sighed mentally. Yhea phased out after laughing rather cruelly and her uppyr mate was looking peevish. His eyes were red and he jerked her to him. He could see bite marks and his rage grew. She had too much honor to allow Yhea to take a fall and she told him to go home and they ended up fighting terribly. Her bedroom window ended up shattered and he left. Her penthouse did not fare so well. Asuna ported to one of Yhea's old haunts and she knew he was around.

 

“Please come. Yhea, I am no coward. I would have faced him.” She said aloud.

 

-Why? He hates me. I did turn my attentions to you. - he said in her mind.

 

“I allowed it. You took from me at first but I figured out your secrets wraith. Your love of him was insane. Hai, he is in some ways spectacular but he is Ramanga. You are better with a wraith or an empusae anyway.” She shrugged.

 

He phased corporeal and his arms were crossed. He stared at her and his face was impassive.

 

“Why are you playing at? You dally with me for what reason? Because my cover became blown and you are a very good detective? I grant you that you are a blood hound and you are good when you set your mind to something. He is right and this is an atrocity. I defile you and myself. I want something that is obviously what I shall never get? This has been fun but play your games and wiles with Lei. Your uppyr is right.” Yhea snarled.

 

“You shove me away now Yhea? Is this your game? You make me care about you then you shove me away?” She said getting right in his face.

 

“Yes. I wanted him all along.” He snapped.

 

“Liar. You have gotten over him some time ago. You want something else now.” Asuna growled.

 

“Oh tell me what do I want?” Yhea demanded.

 

“You want love and you want to belong. You want what we shared the past two days.” Asuna stated.

 

He was shaking and he looked away.

 

“Go away Asuna. It was pleasant. Really it was very pleasant but let us be adults and the whores we are, okay?” He stated in a testy way.

 

“Dismiss what occurred. I marked you deeply. I declared you mine wraith. Touch another and see what I do.” She said in a harsh whisper and she stepped back.

 

Yhea stared at her as if she was insane and she ported away. His chest hurt but he felt as though he had done the right thing for once in his life. He sighed and he phased away.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna had gone back to Britain and she was leaning in the doorway. Yhea had returned but he ignored her. She was furious at his sudden disinterest and she was getting angrier by the second.

 

“You stated that you would assist me in getting Amedeo.” She said in a deep growl.

 

Lei heard her angry tones and he came to stand by her side. Yhea stiffened visibly and he turned to glare at them both.

 

“Maybe I do not feel like it anymore. Take Lei.” He growled back.

 

“As you wish. You fucking coward.” She snapped.

 

“What is your angle Yhea? What do you get by helping?” Lei said narrowing his eyes.

 

“Not a damned thing golden boy. Go kiss our father's ass and be adored you bastard.” Yhea said phasing away.

 

Asuna held Lei back and Yhea phased out. Shan Lao heard the fight and he stepped out. Lei was itching to fight his younger brother. Shan Lao sighed and he knew something huge was going to blow up. He decided to be the one to break it up and he yanked Asuna and lifted his finger. Lei instantly calmed and the elder Jing phased away with the inu princess.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mizuki was in front of her computer typing away and she was doing what she loved most. She heard a knock on her door and she called out. She stiffened when she felt Kazuo and he stepped in. He looked really sour and he stared at her.

 

“Hi.” She said softly.

 

“Hi.” He growled.

 

“What?” Mizuki said trying to be indifferent.

 

“What the hell is going on with you? You like don't talk to me now?” He asked in anger.

 

“I have had issues with the Shouten; Karu and I got back together.” She said softly.

 

Kazuo's face showed utter fury and his arms were crossed. Mizuki was suddenly aware that Renshu was around and she yelped when her elder sibling was slammed harshly into the floor.

 

“What the hell?” He growled.

 

Renshu became corporeal and his face showed his utter contempt. His own history had been sordid and he was just getting back some sort of life. He had no intentions of this canine of ruining it.

 

“Soren told me of you. He told me how you covet your sister. I do not share very well dog. You see Soren, Karu, and I all have an understanding with our beloved mate. You do not fit into our equation.” Renshu stated in a nasty tone.

 

“Renshu do not hurt him!” Mizuki yelled.

 

“Jing? Renshu Jing?” Kazuo yelled in disbelief.

 

“Yes dog. Mizuki and I were lovers back then but we never told anyone. She was pregnant with my son.” He said smirking.

 

Kazuo lost his temper and his claws suddenly took on a greenish hue. He slashed them into Renshu and the Shouten grunted in pain. Mizuki ran over and got between both males.

 

“Stop this now!” She yelled.

 

“You damn near killed her and destroyed her!” Kaz hissed.

 

“You defile her!” Renshu retorted.

 

“Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!” She screamed.

 

“She was my soul mate in another damn life you stupid fucking wraith.” The inu prince said in utter hatred.

 

“She is mine in this one.” The Shouten snorted.

 

Kaz was furious and ported out. Renshu turned and Mizuki was enraged. He did not care and he picked her up. She slapped at him and he growled loudly. Renshu had asked permission of Karu to beget her with his child. He desperately wanted a child and Karu had laughed. His friend had said have fun and save him some. Renshu held her jaw and possessed her mouth. He slammed her against the wall and it was like when they were still illicit. They were both growling and he realized somewhere along the lines, he had fallen so hard that he needed this corporeal being. He phased her business attire away and his own as well. His thrusts were sharp and hard as she clutched at him. Her noises were actually loud and primitive as he took her harder and she did her natural thing. He was ensnared in her yoki and he was gasping as he felt it. He was grunting in her ear and she was rasping loudly.

 

“Do it.” He begged.

 

“Hai.” She whined as she bared her fangs.

 

She sank her fangs into his juncture and Renshu went into bliss. He flattened himself against her as they finished together. He in turn took in her blood and her chest was heaving as she felt their highs.

 

“He is still my big brother.” She said in his ear.

 

“He also loves you like I love you. Do you wish to have my child?” He asked.

 

“Hai!” She said softly.

 

“You taste so good. I love you.” He said with a soft smile as he found her lips and kissed her hard.

 

She kissed him in return and he was so passionate. She never slept alone and typically with all three. Renshu and Karu were especially close now and they loved to take her at the same time. He pulled back slowly and he held her up. Her legs were weak and she was trembling. She felt tremendous malice and it was her bond with Kaz. Renshu was in no mood to leave her alone and he phased them to the penthouse. She made a sound of protest but he laid her back on the bed and he smiled down at her.

 

“I get giddy knowing I get to have you now. I love you.” He smiled down at her.

 

She stared up at him and his beautiful face was full of love and need. She lifted her hand and cupped his cheek as he kissed her fingers. Karu was in the doorway and she looked over at him.

 

“About time you dragged her away from the office.” He said with a seductive smirk.

 

“I see you felt it.” Renshu stated.

 

“Always do.” The funnel prince said.

 

“What are you two going on about?” Mizuki asked heavily.

 

“Just how much we love you and adore the other.” Karu stated as he neared her.

 

She nodded and Renshu smirked. He phased within the kumo prince and became a flurry of passion again. Renshu was in deep and he would do anything to protect what he had now. Mizuki was passed out and Karu fell to his back. The younger Jing corporealized and was panting.

 

“You hungry?” Karu asked.

 

“Yes.” He said breathlessly.

 

“Well eat.” He said turning his throat.

 

He leaned over and sank his fangs in and Karu shut his eyes. They only participated with Mizuki but he felt no shame feeding the Shouten now. He in fact enjoyed immensely and after awhile Renshu too laid down.

 

“Gods I am so happy.” He mumbled.

 

“I am glad the hate is over between us.” Karu muttered.

 

“I am too. The dog was there today. She feels for him and I cannot abide it. I will kill him. Soren seethes so bad that he just phases out. He wants to kill him too.” Renshu said inspecting his claws.

 

“I wish we could. I have always hated him. He used to taunt her badly. He would make her cry and he would call her hanyou. They would fight and he would hurt her and blame it all on Mizuki. She was naughty a lot so they believed the little rat.” Karu explained.

 

“I will get him. I will prevent him from seeing her, I promise.” He said chuckling.

 

“Good. Now what about Aizen?” The kumo prince asked.

 

“Soren is also coming up with ideas. Sleep my friend. Your soul is wonderful.” He yawned.

 

“Please do not phase away too soon. I do not sleep when you leave.” Karu said snuggling up to Mizuki.

 

“It is the binding. Our souls feel the void. I am sorry.” He yawned again.

 

“Damn wraith binding.” He chuckled.

 

Mizuki barely heard what they had said and she was a little mad. They were asleep deeply and she slowly extracted herself. She threw on clothes and she loved them but she hated how much they plotted together. She and Hibari had plans and she had to escape her overprotective mates. There was a very slight lull in Shouten activities. She ported to Hibari's apartment and she had about ten minutes before one of the three came looking for her. Hibari snorted at her all the time. It drove Mizuki nuts and she had not figured out how to sequester like their mother did. Hibari had on old style clothes and she threw the crystal. Hibari had been desperate to save her Byakuya and Mizuki said it was now or never. The two sisters appeared in the past and Mizuki breathed a sigh in relief.

 

“Is it that bad?” She asked.

 

“No not bad. A Shouten binding is just more intense. It is deeper and goes further. It ties further and they like to try and get their way ALL the time.” She said rolling her eyes.

 

“I see. That goes over like a lead balloon.” Hibari laughed.

 

“Hai. Anyway. Where is he?” She asked looking around.

 

Hibari was anxious to find the detachment that had touched her heart. She looked around at their normal meeting place and she stretched her awareness and she gasped.

 

“Mizuki! He is in trouble.” She cried.

 

“Now?” She cried as she began running after her younger sister.

 

Hibari was using tremendous speed and she refused to loose another man she loved. She had lost her first mate in the Russo-Japanese War. Her mate had been ningen and she had loved him desperately but he had felt honor bound to go off to war. She had damn near lost her mind. She saw her great uncle with the Tetsaiga about to perform the Meidou Zangetsuha. Mizuki used her telekinesis and threw the detachment backwards. Hibari used her own yoki and a miasma infused kumo web appeared. Byakuya landed in it and was swallowed. He appeared somewhere else and Hibari had teleported him totally away from the battle. It had taken all of her yoki and she was weakened. Mizuki ported her sister and they appeared next to the detachment.

 

“How?” he asked shocked.

 

“Special talent of mine.” She said breathless.

 

“You came for me.” He said crawling over to her.

 

“I told you I would.” She said with a trembling lip.

 

“It looked as if the Meidou Zangetsuha swallowed you Byakuya. You are dead. We can sever your tie with our Chichi with Juria's help.” Mizuki stated.

 

“Truly?” He said in shock.

 

“Hai.” Hibari said holding his face.

 

“Where would I go?” He asked.

 

“It does not matter. You are free.” She said softly.

 

“Free.” He repeated unable to understand the meaning.

 

Mizuki looked away and she was overcome in the scene. She was guarded and she felt a slow pull on her senses. Hibari felt it too and she held out her hand. Her naginata appeared and Mizuki pulled Jougasaiga. Sanra appeared across the clearing and she stared at Mizuki especially.

 

“I thought I killed the Shouten within you.” She said in hatred.

 

“You bitch!” Mizuki said in anger.

 

“Watch your tongue whore.” The Shouten princess said in malice.

 

Hibari let her Dakkasou like miasma flow and Byakuya moved away. She did not care and she actually came at Sanra. The Shouten whirled around and slammed the younger daughter of Naraku through a tree. Mizuki lost her head and her fang fanned out and it miasma began to swirl around the blades. Sanra's appearance began to take on a shadowy form. A glass like pike went through Mizuki's shoulder and the wraith onna whirled so fast Hibari never saw her coming. Mizuki watched as if in slow motion as Sanra phased instantly and had taken a large splinter of the tree. She shoved straight through Hibari's chest and she went down. Byakuya yelled and Sanra began to laugh with glee. Mizuki pulled out the glass and suddenly turned it on her. She shoved it into the base of her throat and she shrieked in agony. Mizuki's eyes were blazing as she slashed at her before she could phase out. Sanra shrieked again and managed escape but left in a wisp of what appeared smoke. Mizuki fell near her sister and Hibari was nearly white.

 

“Sister! Oh my Kamis! Byakuya! Go get someone!” She screamed.

 

“To-too late.” Hibari managed.

 

“No! No! Soul Society. I can port you into Soul Society.” She said freaking.

 

“Hasten my trip.” She said in a gurgle.

 

Byakuya was paralyzed in disbelief and Mizuki just left him. She was fixing to port herself and her sister to Juria. She was fixing to return to the modern era when she felt more Shouten. She looked up and she saw a being of immense beauty but he was staring down at the nearly dead Hibari.

 

“We cannot have this now can we?” He said in a chuckle.

 

“What the fuck do you want?” She snarled.

 

“Well Sanra came back all messed up. You must be one of her daughters. I am Maec tr'Awnhi. You too are one of her girls. Mas!” He called out.

 

A dark angel looking Shouten appeared and he bowed to Maec.

 

“Yes Father?” Mas asked.

 

“Turn her. Allow her death first. She will make a stunning Shouten.” Maec said beginning to walk away.

 

“As you wish my lord.” His son stated looking over at the nearly dead woman.

 

“Are you coming? Oh please you carry Shouten in you. I am not so stupid as my sister as to want you dead. She is jealous you see and she wants Daddy dearest. I say let her have him but he is an idiot from what I understand. You are a beauty! Now which one are you?” Maec asked in polite conversation.

 

Mizuki was in disbelief and hatred poured out of her. She stared at him with crimson and eyes and she watched in horror as Hibari actually quit breathing. She screamed and she tried to get to her but she was held back. She began screaming no over and over and Maec sat down. He smirked as she fell to pieces. Mas was his next to oldest and he was behind Hanaj in strength.

 

“You wretched screaming is giving me a headache. Now which relative of mine has had you?” He asked.

 

“I am bound to Renshu Jing and Soren tr'Awnhi.” She said in a snarl.

 

“Oh! My son and grandson. How very odd. Well very good. So your giving birth in Astana will not be a problem. Renshu is a sticky thing though. I suspect he may even be stronger then my beloved Hanaj. Love this son of mine?” He asked leaning forward.

 

“Hai! How can you be such a monster?” Mizuki asked shaking in hatred.

 

“Honestly? I do not care. You love my son so I shall show you mercy. You carry Shouten and I shall show you honor. You are her child and you will be elevated but you will not be going back. Your sister will be turned into one of us and your mother will be by my side or she will die.” He shrugged.

 

Mizuki struggled and Maec waved his arm. She was struck forcefully and she was knocked unconscious. He knew if she was bound then eventually her Shouten mates would come looking for her. He would have to block the binding and they would go mad with the void. He was half insane himself. He looked down at the dead hybrid and she was indeed lovely.

 

“Stupid Sanra. She would have been more useful as her youkai self. Mas she will make a very lovely wraith. I hear rumors that she had a sister that was turned?” Maec asked.

 

“Yes Father. Hanaj turned her spider sister. Her name was Iyo. Thei had killed her in her corporeal form. She had saved Nveid.” He replied in a reverent tone.

 

“We have not really searched for him. I want him found. This all requires us in the future era. Bring them now. I have things that need doing. Tell Sanra when she wakes up not to be such a stupid cunt.” He said with a sneer.

 

His servants bowed and they went to the slip stream. There were just a few Jing lackeys left but they still feared the name of tr'Awnhi. He intended to have her body presented to Naraku. He wanted to see the look on the halfling's face.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Naraku was trying to get the meeting with his Asian and American firms confirmed as his phones rang off the hook. He growled in annoyance as the triplets stampeded through Sendai and he yelled for the nanny. Asuna had been here last night and Jin was here too at Ishin's behest. He had punched the mutt only this morning. Miku was doing well and he heard yelling. He stood up and he stormed into the main hall.

 

“What is the ruckus?” He demanded.

 

There was a small group of kumo soldiers and Bihua was shielding the view.

 

“My lord perhaps you need sit.” He tried to say.

 

“What the hell Bihua?” He demanded.

 

Naraku stalked forward and he felt as though every ounce of life had been drained from him. Hibari was lifeless with a huge hole in her chest. Naraku hands actually shook as the youngest of his adult daughters lay dead. His face twitched as it was the only emotion he displayed. Her naginata was in hand and his baby girl never fought anymore. There was a letter in her lifeless hand and he extracted it. Ishin had come out and his cry was anguished. Maec had taken care to write in Japanese. He wished Naraku well on this most of unfortunate of incidents but he advised him as one father to another to keep better track of his children. He stated he would continue to take that which the halfling valued most. Naraku went to his knees and his eyes were red. Suddenly there was a flourish in the middle of the old style castle and Maec looked around. A grin broke out and stared at Naraku, dead in the eyes.

 

“Well I see you got my note. Sanra sends her best. She fought well I understand.” Maec chuckled.

 

Naraku said nothing and a horrendous snarl was ripped from his chest. Naraku pathed to Ishin and Bihua; both males ported out immediately to get the little ones gone and the hanyou had a menacing aura.

 

“She is lovely by the way. Sanra took a splinter from a tree and staked her heart. Crude but very effective.” Maec stated cruelly.

 

Naraku continued to say nothing and suddenly many tentacles erupted from his body. He became a mass of many things. His anger was palatable and it was fueling him. Maec smirked widely as he dodged and phased back and forth.

 

“You cannot say anything? I have lost children and I can at least admit how much it angered me. When I found out it was you who killed my darling Thei. Go ahead halfling. Be angry and come at me.” The Shouten king taunted.

 

“My baby! She was innocent of this!” Naraku said in a low and unreal voice.

 

“Whatever. Do you think I care?” he laughed.

 

A tentacle pushed through his abdomen but Maec was able to phase that portion transparent. Naraku let loose a huge cloud of miasma and Maec coughed. He imploded inward and the Shouten king looked around. He could feel something and he knew the halfling had changed form. A blackish aura surrounded his hands and Naraku had a vague memory of the yoki. He appeared humanoid and slashed Maec in the back. The Shouten morphed both hands and slashed at Naraku with the blackish aura and Naraku ported out quickly to avoid the familiar yoki. The hanyou shoved a bony appendage deeply into Maec's gut. He opened his bond with Asuna widely and he yanked powerfully on their old bond. Maec knew instantly he was in trouble and he phased out but not before part of his hip was blown away in a modified nami. He shrieked in pain as it happened and he appeared beside Hibari's dead form. He phased out with her and Naraku yelled in fury. He had not realized but he was bleeding. He had not felt himself be injured and he stumbled forward. Asuna was beside him instantly and she looked around wildly.

 

“What happened? Why did you pull on our power? Naraku? Naraku? Talk to me!” She said shaking him.

 

“Hibari dead. Sanra killed her.” He mumbled barely able to speak.

 

“What? No! Do not tell me Hibari is dead.” She said shaking him.

 

“I saw her koi! She was dead!” Naraku said falling to his knees.

 

She backed up and she was shaking her head no. Asuna was blinded by tears and she only knew two Shouten strong enough to turn her; Shan Lao and Hanaj. She ported to the in between in Malaysia and yelled for her tr'Awnhi mate. Hanaj came out and she was shaking in rage.

 

“Asuna? What is it? Hey! Calm down! Tell me.” He said calmly.

 

“Hibari. Dead. Sanra killed her. Maec took her body.” She said in a broken speech.

 

“Oh Gods.” He said in surprise.

 

“He will have her turned.” Asuna said raging.

 

“You want us to get to her first?” Hanaj asked gently.

 

“I do not want her to wake up with them! I want her here!” She said getting hysterical.

 

“I will take Yhea and Soren. We will go and retrieve her body. We will get her and I can turn her.” He stated smoothing her hair.

 

She nodded and she slipped down in a heap on the ground. Hanaj phased out and he went to try and retrieve Hibari first.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Iyo was sleeping soundly next to Nveid and they constantly moved with their sons. Her Shouten mate woke up slowly and stared down at his Tomoshibi wife. Her black eyes slowly opened and she stared up at his silvery blue ones.

 

“Good morning.” He whispered.

 

“Hello.” She smiled.

 

“The boys still sleep.” He yawned.

 

“Hai. We should still sleep.” She said stretching.

 

“I have something else in mind.” Nveid grinned.

 

She smiled at him and he began to kiss her neck. She moaned quietly as he nipped her throat. They had found utter happiness together and she was always leery of their precarious position. She was careful always and she always hid her aura and that of her twin sons. They were almost five now and she closed her eyes in raptures as he began to make love to her. She did not understand why more Shouten and Tomoshibi had not gotten together. It was perfection and Iyo bit into his throat to quiet her cries of completion. They were careful not to have anymore children at the moment. Nveid shook against her as the pleasure and love poured from his soul. He claimed her mouth and took his time ravishing her. He felt like the luckiest damn Shouten on the planet and he felt instantly a distant but powerful aura. He bolted upright and phased her clothes on and his. He looked around and phased to his son and the one he claimed as his. His half Arrancar child never knew a different father and he woke them up instantly.

 

“We must go now.” He said quickly.

 

“Papa?” His Arrancar child asked.

 

“No questions!” He growled.

 

Iyo appeared and she was fixing to phase with the boys but they were surrounded. Nveid was looking around wildly and he stared at her.

 

“I will fight a way out for you and the boys. Go and do not look back.” He said in a tense whisper.

 

“What the hell is going on?” She asked terrified.

 

“He means me.” Maec said walking into the small home.

 

Iyo whipped her head around and she stared at a very powerful Shouten. Nveid moved to stand in front of his wife and sons as if to protect them.

 

“It is time you come home son.” Maec said looking over the turned Iyo.

 

A burly guard grabbed Iyo and dragged her forward and Nveid snarled. Maec grabbed her jaw and stared at her lovely face.

 

“I hear Hanaj turned her Shouten first.” The wraith king stated.

 

“It does not matter!” Nveid shouted.

 

“Answer me.” He growled loudly.

 

“She died saving my life. Thei killed her by mistake. Her life was forfeit because of me and Hanaj knew it. He turned her because I would have wanted it.” Nveid said almost in a begging tone.

 

“Mhmm.” Maec stated listening.

 

“Father, I did everything Raganos asked of me! I love this woman. Please! I love her. She is Tomoshibi now but I love her and I love my sons. Please. I will give my own life for them. Please.” Nveid begged.

 

“Shut up Nveid. You went soft when you inhabited the uppyr. I will not kill her. In fact you do yourself ill by not begetting more children. Hello boys. I am your grandpapa. I am Maec.” He said sitting.

 

Iyo stared at Nveid and he at her.

 

“Oh do not look so shocked. You took this woman as your wife and mate when she was still a Shouten. That filthy Tomoshibi got a hold of her.” He said staring at her.

 

“Why do you stare at me?” Iyo demanded.

 

“Because you are a vision really. Your Aunt Sanra did a terrible thing.” He said watching Nveid's face.

 

“What?” He asked tensely.

 

“Your mother Iyo what is her name?” Maec asked as if dumb.

 

“Lady Asuna.” She said gritting her teeth.

 

“Yes! That is it. Well Sanra does not like her. Well my sister also likes what is his name?” He asked Iyo.

 

“Naraku.” She said getting agitated.

 

“Oh right.” Maec said with a small smile.

 

“What did you do father?” Nveid asked.

 

“It was not me son. Sanra did it. I just fixed it. Her name was Hibari.” He said smirking.

 

Iyo snarled and Nveid held her. He knew his father and his wife needed to be careful. He was terrified of this man and always had been. Raganos had been strong but not like this.

 

“Tsk tsk my dear daughter in law. Hibari will wake up hungry I am sure and she will need a familiar face. Will you be that familiar face? Will you be there for your sister or do I need to put you to death like I have thousands of Tomoshibi?” Maec asked grinning.

 

Her sons made terrified noises and Nveid stayed by calmly. Maec stood up and lifted the chin of the green eyed boy.

 

“Get rid of him. He is half hollow.” He said to a guard.

 

“NO!” Iyo cried.

 

“Father please!” Nveid begged.

 

“You either come willingly back to Astana or I kill them both.” Maec said narrowing his eyes.

 

Iyo's chest was heaving and her only thought was to get her green eyed son to Ulquiorra. Nveid grabbed his own blood and she suddenly dove for the other. She phased out in a flash of bright light and Maec cursed. She had lost her last pregnancy late and she had decided to not try again. Tsutomu was shivering in fright and she was in Los Noches. She concentrated on his reiastu and she phased into his private chambers. Ulquiorra was up in a moment and he was astonished but it did not show.

 

“You must shelter him. Take him to the other plane please. The Shouten ruler has found us.” She said in a hurry.

 

“Stay.” He commanded.

 

“I cannot. He has his twin. I have to go Tsutomu. Haha has to go to brother now. This is Ulquiorra and he will love you while I am gone.” She said kissing him and hugging him.

 

Tsutomu knew without a doubt that this man was in relation to him. They shared similar markings. He had his mother's hair but he had this man's green eyes and tears like marks that seem to flow down his face. He was terrified as Iyo phased out and he cried out for his mother. Ulquiorra put a slender hand on his shoulder and held him still.

 

“Lady Iyo has asked that you stay young one. What did you observe?” The Fourth Espada inquired.

 

“There was Shouten. Their auras strong and Keras is afraid.” He said with a trembling lip.

 

“This Keras is your twin?” Ulquiorra asked as he knelt.

 

“Hai. Chichi scared too.” Tsutomu stated as actual tears fell.

 

“He is not your father.” Ulquiorra said in a cold voice.

 

“What?” He asked looking at him.

 

“I am your sire.” The Arrancar said without emotion.

 

“But Nveid tr'Awnhi is…” Tsutomu said with a trembling lip.

 

“A thief. You are my natural child. You are Tsutomu Schiffer. I am Ulquiorra Schiffer.” He stated taking his hand.

 

Tsutomu's eyes were wide and he followed the man who produced a black gate into the other plane. He was absolutely terrified and his life was falling apart.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rishou was staring at Ulquiorra's son who was so scared that he clung to the Espada's legs for dear life. His mate and long time lover was cool and collected but Rishou tried to coax the boy forward. Akinyoshi also tried to coax the boy to come out.

 

“No! I want Haha. Please. I want Haha. Please. I want my brother. I want Keras. I want Keras.” Tsutomu began shrieking.

 

Ulquiorra picked him up and held him as the small boy fell apart. Erena was seething in jealousy and trying to not let it show. Akinyoshi jumped up and down and Rishou pulled his son off of Ulquiorra.

 

“Want to play!” He growled.

 

“I am going to call Chichi.” Rishou said.

 

“Good idea.” Erena said.

“You are cold. Why?” Ulquiorra demanded.

 

“Oh, I do not know. You show up with the evidence of your infidelity?” Erena said crossing her arms.

 

“You stated you had no care.” He said.

 

“Iyo can have your child and I cannot? We have tried and I cannot?” She asked in anger.

 

“Perhaps you are not meant to.” He said in a nasty tone.

 

Rishou came in and his face was white. Erena looked at him and she was concerned.

 

“Hibari was killed by a Shouten.” He said in shock.

 

“What?” She asked surprised.

 

“Mizuki is now missing.” Rishou said in anguish.

 

“It seems the Shouten ruler was coming for Iyo as a guide for Hibari. I must tell Aizen-sama.” Ulquiorra stated flatly.

 

“What are you going to do with Junior?” Erena asked.

 

“Tsutomu will stay with me.” He said as he made a garganta appear.

 

Ulquiorra was furious with his onna soul mate and his son was sobbing into his black hair. He intended to tell Aizen, Grimmjow, and find Arturo Plateado. The Shouten would suffer at their hands.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yhea was in shock and so was Soren. They were with Hanaj but it seemed that Hanaj's older brother Mas had already turned Hibari. She was not awake as of yet and Astana was swarming. They were in danger and Soren was raging. He could no longer feel his mate and Renshu was going nuts. Soren could feel that too.

 

“We have to get to that woman now.” Hanaj whispered from his hiding place.

 

“Yes but if we get caught then we are dead and so are the women we are tied to idiot.” Soren growled.

 

“I am not so stupid nephew. Shut up.” He said glowering.

 

Yhea was thinking and he knew every nook and cranny of this palace. He was contemplating too and he knew all too well the danger they were in.

 

They heard yelling and snarling and Soren knew that voice. He flew to the peep hole and he saw Mizuki in her inu form. She was going insane and the Shouten were trying to keep her under control. Maec himself walked in and Soren was shaking. He watched him phase his hand into her throat and cut off her breathing.

 

“I swear! Grow some fucking spines will you all?” He snarled at his men.

 

Soren held his throat and Hanaj realized he had to get them out of here. He had to get Mizuki as well. He phased as fast as possible and he appeared beside her and Maec whirled on his boy. He grinned and Maec let loose a wave of slow moving shoki. It slammed Maec backwards and he laughed the whole time.

 

“There's my boy! She is difficult to handle.” He laughed standing up right.

 

He stalked forward and he was immediately inside of his own child. Hanaj snarled and he became his true form. Maec never bothered with his and he flicked his wrist and the cold shoki sliced into Hanaj deeply. He had no intentions of hurting him too badly as he was going to rip Asuna from him again. He actually phased within the ash being and Hanaj was felled. The prince was hoping Yhea had enough smarts to use it to get Mizuki and Soren away and that is what he did. Yhea phased beside Asuna's daughter and phased her to Yamasaki General and Soren followed. Hanaj knew his father would not kill him yet and he became his humanoid form again and he was in pain. He knew Lei and Asuna would feel it and he had seen pain in Yhea's face as well. He did not contemplate it much as he passed out.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ryunosuke could not fathom what Lady Asuna was telling him. He was shaking and he looked over at Reia.

 

“She cannot be dead. She just cannot be.” He said in negation.

 

“Cousin please. I know not what the Shouten king will do. I want her home so we can either change her to succubus if we can or Tomoshibi but there is not much time.” She said wiping her eyes.

 

“You want me to see if our mating will help? I am not telepathic. I cannot sense her like that except that I knew I loved her the second I saw her.” He said actually breaking down.

 

Reia came over and she hugged her Chichi's legs and she did not understand where her mother was. She saw her obbasan crying and she patted his legs.

 

“Baby girl.” He said picking her up and holding her tightly.

 

Asuna's cell phone rang and she flipped it open. It was Nobu and he was relaying what he knew. She nodded to Ryunosuke and she quickly told him that she had to go.

 

“I will call you.” She said and she ported away.

 

The former houshi was shaking terribly and he stood up. He looked around the apartment he shared with his mate and he felt as if he was crushed. A soul wrenching sob came from him and he heard a noise. He looked over to see the jade haired Arrancar and he was surprised.

 

“I was told of her death. You have no reason to keep her any longer.” Arturo said of his daughter.

 

“You are not taking my daughter!” Ryunosuke said growling.

 

“Chichi?” Reia asked hugging him.

 

“I have no time for you dragon.” Arturo said in anger.

 

He was suddenly in front of him and he yanked Reia from the former monk's arms and he used a cerro point blank. Reia screamed “chichi” and began shrieking as she watched the only youkai man she had ever known go down. Arturo held her tightly and he produced a garganta. He walked through carrying his weeping progeny.

Hibari opened her eyes and she was in pain. She gasped as she slowly moved and she looked over at a Shouten man with inky black hair and the blackest eyes she had ever seen.

 

“What happened?” She whispered.

 

“My aunt decided that your life was not worth living. My father decided to give you another chance.” He smirked.

 

“Oh Kamis.” She said shaking.

 

“Hunger?” He asked leaning forward.

 

“It hurts.” She said staring at him.

 

“Can you be a good girl? I imagine the hunger is terrible. I am a born Shouten and you a reborn one. Come and feed from me if you wish.” He said in a low voice.

 

Hibari was stunned and in such horrendous need to eat. She scrambled forward and she about attacked him. He actually groaned out as she snapped her fangs into his throat.

 

“So it is true and you do have a little of it in you.” He said in deep growl.

 

She did not understand and her stomach clenched as the blood hit it. She was snarling as he ripped her away and made a noise.

 

“I am Mas. I am my father's second son. You need to feed and I suggest you find some corporeal flesh.” He said shoving her away.

 

Mas ported her to the other plane and Maec had said to let her wreak havoc. He left her and she was trying to stay rational. She was so hungry and she was loosing it. She actually phased out and she appeared neared Karakura Town. Her little bit of rational thought was to hope to find Hikari who was known to hang around here or a Shinigami. She was near the Urahara Shop and she felt reiastu. She fell to her knees and she was taking deep draughts of air. She looked up with eyes that were bleeding white and she saw black hair.

 

“Byakuya?” She whispered.

 

“Hibari.” She heard.

 

“What happened?” Hibari said loosing vision.

 

“You died.” He said kneeling.

 

“I died. I did? You are free and I died. Byakuya help me.” She said lying down on the ground.

 

He watched as she actually seemed to be loosing form. He was in shock and he was having sudden memories. He shook his head and this was not him. He had enough of this damn family to last him a lifetime and then some. His grey eyes were dispassionate as he picked up her form. His memories were jumbled and not making sense. He kept in his bitterness but he had heard that she had been killed by the Shouten and she had said he was free. He deposited her in Abarai's arms and stared at her as if she were lice upon his person.

 

“Take her to her family. See to it they do not interfere.” He said then walked away.

 

Renji looked down at the silver haired onna and she could seem to barely maintain her form. He used shunpo to try and find a member of her family and fast.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nobu stared down at the now paralyzed Hibari and he had to step out for a moment and weep. Naraku was standing beside her bed and his knuckles were white. She was hooked up to all blood products to give her nutrition and they had found Ryunosuke damn near dead. Reia was missing and it was utter chaos. Asuna was pacing further down the hall and she wanted to strike out so badly. She wanted to hurt Maec in a very personal and horrid way. Her eyes were not returning to brown and she suddenly ported out. It hit her that she did not feel Hanaj anymore and she snarled in anger. She was grabbed and she went to punch the person and she was whirled around. It was Yhea and he held her shoulders.

 

“He is making bold moves. We have to make our own bold moves. He strikes here and now. We go back and strike what he valued in the past.” He said in a calm voice.

 

“What was that?” She asked in a heaving chest.

 

“He had a few favorites that it was not well known. He loved them. He sired children outside of his sanctioned marriages. Most of his children were cruel. Kill them.” He said with firmly.

 

“I am not him Yhea. I want to kill Sanra.” She said nearly shrieking.

 

“I understand.” He sighed stepping back.

 

“I cannot feel him anymore. What does he do?” Asuna asked.

 

“I do not know. I never cared for the black arts. I went with my natural powers. I was also too concerned with wanting to be loved.” He snorted.

 

“Shouten are more then just ether beings?” She demanded.

 

“We are natural beings. We are part of the world. Magics are part of the natural world. We can amplify those magics.” Yhea said.

 

He sighed very deeply and he wanted to help but he wished to distance himself. Asuna walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. He closed his eyes and he felt her.

 

“You are strong. You are a Jing and you can help me. Help me Yhea.” She whispered in his ear.

 

“I want no more quarrels. You are nothing but a quarrel for me.” He said stiffly.

 

“I cannot take not feeling him. Yhea please.” She said and he felt hot tears against his neck.

 

She pressed her lush lips to his neck and it caused him to feel. She continued to press soft kisses to his neck and it was seductive and needy. She slowly slipped her hands down the crisp cotton of his shirt to his heavy khaki like pants. She palmed his maleness slowly as she began sucking slowly all along his neck. When she reached a spot just below his ear; he damn near melted. He groaned loudly as tongued the sweet spot and he had truly never realized how sensitive it was.

 

“Gods. Seductress.” He whined softly.

 

She moved her hands to unbutton his shirt and she ran her fingertips over his belly and began to tease his male nubs. She slipped around him and began to suck, nip, and worry his skin. His mind was not coherent. She was manipulating him knew and she growled out loudly. He met her red eyes and she suddenly slammed him against the wall.

 

“You pursued me first Yhea.” She said in his ear.

 

“Yes and I am attempting to end it with you.” He whispered harshly.

 

“You wish to run now when you know it will turn to something real. Now it will turn to what you supposedly want and you wish to still play your games.” She snarled in contempt.

 

“I offer you my fealty but I will not continue to torture myself with you.” Yhea stated trying to shove her away.

 

“Torture yourself?” Asuna asked in anger.

 

“Yes. You love Lei. Shan Lao loves Lei. Everyone loves Lei. I am just his bastard child from a woman that he sought relief with. I shall be what I am and quit trying to be what I want. Now leave me the hell alone.” He snarled.

 

“I need you., whether you like it or not. I need you.” She said as he straightened his clothes.

 

“Fine. Need me as an ally. You do not need another Shouten lover. You have enough of those.” He snapped.

 

She was wretched and he was again turning away. Asuna always formed intense attachments during times of heartache and she was hurting. Yhea started to phase and he felt her hands. He had gone into Hueco Mundo's plane and she was holding him around his waist.

 

“Help me strike him then.” She whispered heavily in his ear.

 

“I do that gladly.” He nodded and his voice came out odd.

 

He took her hand and he phased them to the hills and caves above the Astana palace. It was still day and Yhea wanted the cover of night and he settled back into the deep recesses of a dark cave and her superior inu sight could see kumori in the very back.

 

“There are kumori youkai in the very back.” She said softly.

 

“Good to know. They probably stuck close to fellow blood drinkers.” He said thoughtfully.

 

“You wish for darkness why?” Asuna inquired.

 

“Well even Shouten sleep. You know this.” He snorted.

 

“You wish to fight Yhea?” She demanded.

 

“No Asuna. I am tired of fighting. I have made some very bad choices and some bold moves in my life. You now understand but still.” He said sitting down in a temper.

 

“I understand that you are deep and you do not allow yourself to be. I know you have great knowledge but you may as well have been starved. You act like it.” She said watching his face.

 

He whipped his head around and stared at her in annoyance. He could not get the look on Eyal's face out of his head and the uppyr leader truly looked as if he would have murdered him then. He was lost in thought and Yhea's mind was vainly trying to think of what Maec valued but it was obvious what it was, he had become so obsessed with this female that he was willing to do almost anything. Yhea knew obsession. He knew crazed desire and he shoved down his thoughts as they made him uncomfortable. He let himself slip into a light sleep and he would wait the few hours to sneak into the palace.

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

Yhea was having a pleasant dream and his brain was registering something warm. His eyes opened slowly and he saw her silver head. She was licking along his chest and teasing his overly sensitive male nipple. She seemed to have discovered how sensitive they were and Asuna was torturing the bundle of nerves and flesh. She was lazily flicking her tongue over it again and again. She scraped her fang across it and Yhea groaned out.

 

“Harder.” He rasped.

 

She yanked harshly and he tried to fight the wash of pure, unadulterated lust. He realized she had gotten him undone and rather in a haphazard state at the moment and he suddenly released a pent up moan as she rolled the nub between her teeth. She slowly pulled her mouth away and went to attack his other one but he jerked her lips to his mouth. Raw hunger ripped through his gut as he controlled the lip lock this time. He fought hard to dominate it and she suddenly mewled into his mouth. That alone nearly brought him to his proverbial knees. Yhea for all of a second hated his lust. His only thoughts were stilling his ache in his soul and heart. He realized she was naked and he growled into her mouth. Yhea leaned her back on the rocky ground and shifted his hips. She made a long. plaintive whine that shocked him to his soul but he did not stop. He gripped her shoulders tightly as his thrusts were hard. She sought his lips and his ebony hair fell around them as their frantic and passionate melding. Yhea felt a pull on his immortal soul and he realized what she was doing. His own noises he did not recognize and he could not stop the drag of his true form. She was forcing their souls to join and he was lost in the blaze that was a true wraith joining. He was dimly aware that he heard himself and her as they became corporeal. His flesh was slick and she was staring at his slowly fading eyes with her own scarlet ones. He was making a low humming growl as he tried to reach for the finale. Yhea had to hold onto the back of her neck and he shifted his hips in such a way. Her mouth went slack and she drew up her legs. She arched her neck and she saw glowing eyes further away. She could feel evil fury and she knew without a doubt that Maec had discovered this little tryst. She watched him with a cruel face and Yhea realized they were not alone. He cursed but Asuna was able to port them out and she rolled them. He shouted out and she smiled down at him.

 

“He saw this.” He gasped.

 

“Hai. He saw your face and he saw mine. He saw how much I want this from you. I want your release Yhea.” She moaned.

 

“Oh my Gods.” He said unable to focus clearly.

 

“Am I keeping you from it?” She asked in her own need.

 

“Yes.” He said as tremors seemed to wrack his body.

 

“Must be yoki. Let go and so will I.” Asuna whimpered.

 

“Ugh.” He cried softly as she moved her hips harder.

 

Yhea surged up and he let loose and moved so hard he knew she would bruise. She had begun to use her telekinesis and she screamed. He was certain that hollows would arrive and soon. He became totally blind in the unreal rush and drain on his own power and pleasure. He thrust one last time and collapsed against her. She felt him begin to feed and she was breathing harshly to regain her breath.

 

“You used me.” He said against her throat.

 

“You think I knew he was there?” Asuna asked in annoyance.

 

“Then why?” Yhea asked in a drained tone.

 

“You had fallen asleep and you looked so beautiful. I wanted to touch you.” She said in a growl.

 

“Well you pissed him off. Good job. You are what he values and by my touching you; he is incensed.” Yhea stated crawling off of her.

 

She stared over at him and he was catching his breath too. She heard the distant rumblings of hollows.

 

“How is it kumori can be in Hueco Mundo?” She asked.

 

“They are one of the few beings that can step back and forth, why?” He asked.

 

“Just curious is all.” Asuna stated as she sat in the sand.

 

“Why do you always bring us to the damn sand?” Yhea asked annoyed.

 

“Privacy.” She retorted.

 

“I need to show you other places in this plane woman. This plane truly parallels the other.” He stated shaking his head.

 

She shrugged and he was annoyed with himself. The second he touched her; he became wanton. She came over to him and he stared at her.

 

“Yhea?” She asked.

 

“What?” He snapped.

 

“Why are you sour now?” Asuna asked.

 

“Because I keep trying to put this behind me and you keep insisting that we must. Well at least this time you were able to piss of Maec.” He said in sarcasm.

 

“It would really piss off Maec if I gave you a son and not him.” She said just as sarcastically.

 

He turned his black eyes to hers and she had a glint in her eyes. He knew her well enough she would do something like that to snare him and get back at Maec. He grew furious and slapped her.

 

“I am not Lei. I truly have no wish to have children.” He yelled.

 

“I did not say I was Yhea. It was just a very ridiculous thought.” She yelled in return.

 

“See to it that you do not.” He said phasing his clothes on.

 

“Then what was it when I carried Lifen and Khellian?” She demanded.

 

“I thought at one time perhaps those babes may have been the Shouten's future but they are naught for me. Come Asuna, let us save Hanaj.” He growled.

 

She was shaking in upset and she was angry enough to punch a hole through Maec at the moment. She ported inside of Astana herself and Yhea cursed every word he knew. She stalked along and she suddenly let loose a nami that was fully electrically charged. The swath of destruction was wide and Yhea appeared beside her.

 

“Smooth Asuna. Really smooth.” He stated in a hiss.

 

“Shut up!” She yelled back.

 

She saw Maec further away in the palace and she stared him down. Yhea ended up in hand to hand combat and Asuna pointed at the wraith ruler. His eyes perused her form and he was in a state. He was staring down at what used to be the crown prince and hate filled his veins. Asuna let Konkisaiga appear and it was obvious she was coming after him. Lust filled him as he watched the warrior princess work her way through his warriors. Yhea was busy fighting his own battles and he noticed former lovers amongst the throng. He grit his teeth and hated being here. She was busy killing and she let loose a rather powerful wave that rushed past Maec.

 

“You have balls. I swear I would adore you even if you were a man.” He said laughing.

 

She walked straight up to him and she shoved her claws deeply into his belly. He looked down at her and shook his head. Anger filled her face and she let her yoki build.

 

“Go ahead. Destroy me.” He whispered.

 

“You bastard! What are you up to?” She yelled.

 

“Did you enjoy fucking that useless boy?” He asked as a little pain clouded his features.

 

“Did you enjoy watching?” Asuna asked with a laugh.

 

“You toy with the wrong enemy girl.” Maec said grabbing her jaw.

 

She opened her toxin making glands and flooded him and he choked. He had not counted on her doing that and he strangled her. Yhea choked a little but continued fighting. Yhea knew the damn idiot was in danger of killing them both and he phased suddenly behind her. He jerked her backwards and Maec's face held wrath. He grabbed Yhea and slammed him hard against the wall and he lost his breath.

 

“How dare you touch her! You start a war with the uppyr and now you dare touch what I deem mine?” He snarled.

 

“Sorry.” Yhea smirked.

 

“You will think sorry you worthless bastard! Your worthless mother should have been quartered for opening her legs to my slave.” Maec said in a dangerous tone.

 

Asuna lifted Konkisaiga over her head and shoved it deeply into Maec's chest. He went down and she let loose more Dakkasou. The wraith king reached up to her leg and flooded her with his ash shoki. Yhea yelled in pain and watched in horror as his own leg became mangled. Maec realized the extent of their binding and his chest was heaving.

 

“I shall enjoy ripping this one from you. I will enjoy killing him slowly. I will rip him limb from limb, the little pretender!” He snarled.

 

Yhea grew sick of Maec's mouth and drew back his fist. He let take on his freezing toxin and shoved it into the elder Shouten's mouth. Yhea crawled over to Asuna and pulled her away a little.

 

“We will die. This toxin is deadly. NOW!” He said shaking her.

 

She wanted to kill Maec so badly but Yhea was pulling her along. They were surrounded by Shouten and she spread out her hands and she pulled on his yoki. He was flattened to the ground in the resulting expulsion of power and moans of pain could be heard. Yhea had witnessed her release of the largest supaida nami to date, she had ever managed. He covered her body with his own and his chest heaved.

 

“What have you done? You cannot channel me!” He cried.

 

“No but this palace is destroyed.” She said barely above a whisper.

 

“I cannot phase!” He said urgently.

 

“Amplify my pathing. Maybe we can reach Lei or Shan Lao.” She whispered in agony.

 

“You stupid woman.” He said closing his eyes.

 

He screamed with his mind and Maec moved his head. Yhea realized that he had heard it and maybe his father had. He heard fresh troops and he fully expected that he would be dead. Moments passed and Shan Lao did appear right along with Lei and other Jings. Asuna was unconscious and her Jing husband was in delirious pain. Shan Lao was able to handle it and a smile graced his lips when he saw Maec.

 

“Find Hanaj. Do not get yourselves killed. Move now!” He ordered of his clansmen.

 

The Jings moved swiftly and they were seen phasing in and out. Shan Lao knelt near Yhea and Asuna as they both suffered.

 

“My son.” He said.

 

“We had to take him on together. He is powerful.” Yhea said in pain.

 

“You stupid fucking idiot! You should have waited.” Lei sneered.

 

“At least I moved. You are normally the bold one Lei. Her daughter lay dead. What would you have us do?” Yhea asked in severe agony.

 

“I was planning a more careful move. You fed her anger. You put her and me in danger. You think like a tr'Awnhi.” Lei sneered.

 

Yhea tried to get up but could not. Shan Lao put up his hand and Lei shut up.

 

“Enough Lei. We have to find Hanaj.” Shan Lao stated as he rose gracefully.

 

“You will regret this Yhea. I swear to our Gods that you will. If she is harmed then I will take it out on your hide and I will kill you. You are nothing.” Lei said near his half brother's ear.

 

Lei stood with a flourish and picked up Asuna. He did not even bother with Yhea and Shan Lao had to direct him to be taken. The Jing leader stared at the bane of his existence for years and left him there to suffer or die. He prayed die.

Hibari was on a bed and she could not move. She was not as ravenous but she could not understand everything. Mizuki was in the door and her face was flooded with tears.

 

“Zuki? What is wrong?” She asked.

 

“They killed you.” She said shaking.

 

“He said that.” She said confused.

 

“Who said that?” She asked confused.

 

“Byakuya.” She said rolling her head.

 

“Honey he was in the past.” She said taking her hands.

 

“No. He picked me up. I was in his arms.” Hibari said.

 

“No baby. You were brought to us by a shinigami. Bari, I am so sorry.” She said crying.

 

“What else?” She asked confused.

 

“Arturo showed up. Reia is gone.” Mizuki said.

 

“No.” She cried.

 

“I am so sorry.” Her elder sister began weeping.

 

Hibari slammed her head back against the pillow and she began to sob. Naraku was in the doorway and he heard the name Byakuya. He stared at Mizuki with repressed anger.

 

“Chichi…I..” Mizuki stated.

 

“Your sister died and for what? A detachment? Sanra found you both because you disobeyed me?” He thundered.

 

Mizuki backed up in fear and he turned his eyes to her. He raised his hand to her and he slapped her with some force.

 

“How dare you! How dare you both! Those beings were nothing! They were meaningless lumps of flesh. You children were created normally and as such became my world. Never ever cross me again!” Naraku said in the most frightening tone either woman had heard him say.

 

He left the hospital room and Hibari was too frightened to speak and too stunned to cry any more. Mizuki was used to her sire's wrath and slid down a wall and cried too.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Iyo looked around the destruction and she saw Nveid on the ground. His body was sheltering their son and he was not dead or she would be dead. She crawled over to him and she rolled him. He opened his eyes and stared up at her.

 

“I want you to do something for me.” He whispered.

 

“What?” She asked brushing his black hair out of his face.

 

“I am going to tell you how to break the bind. I am not going to make it. I feel your strength and you can.” He said lifting his hand to her cheek.

 

“No Nveid. Do not do this.” She said shaking him.

 

“Iyo. My father will take vengeance and you must take shelter in Soul Society. You must take our sons away. Promise me! This is the only thing I have done worth anything. I will not let Maec destroy my one good deed.” He said choking on blood.

 

“Nveid, I love you damnit!” She screamed.

 

“And I love you. Perhaps I will not burn in hell. I have done terrible things. These last five years have been redemption I think. Drain me dry and take my blood from my heart. Do it Iyo.” He pleaded.

 

Iyo began choking on tears as she assessed the damage done. He had sheltered Keras from the falling ceiling and he had been crushed. Her face crumpled as she began to sob. Nveid knew without a doubt his sire would kill him eventually. Iyo was in danger and she began the process of separating them. He did not want to be in the afterlife without her but he did not want her to die again because of him. Bloody tears fell from his eyes as his own mate and wife finished what the battle had started. When she pulled back his eyes had gone white and he stared out into nothing and Iyo was blinded by the tears that fell non stop.
