It Shall Be Part II

Lei had felt her and then she was gone. He knew something had gone down with Naraku but she was not saying anything. Yhea was miraculously better and Hanaj was still in a death sleep. He was moody and he wanted to know what the hell was up with his wife. His fist was clenched and he went in search of Yhea. What he found was none other then Sanra tr'Awnhi.

“Hello my son.” She purred.

“What the hell are you doing here?” he snarled.

“Thought you might want to know what your lovely bitch has been up to or who she has been up to.” Sanra said narrowing her gray eyes.

“Fuck off whore.” Lei said lifting his fist.

“Oh my lovely boy. Let me explain to you how this works. I hate her and you are going to hate her too. She had Maec at her mercy and she let him live. She made him come all over himself and then kissed him.” She said cruelly.

Lei's face twitched a little but he knew was a conniving and lying whore this woman was. Sanra paced and she stood closer to him.

“My sister took what she should not have but she probably saw you wavering in your loyalty. I am sorry for that.” She whispered.

“Your sister was a rapist.” He said hissing in her face.

“Illea was loyal to me and to me only. She knew what it took to keep you safe.” Sanra snapped.

“You lie. You are sick and demented.” Lei said backing off.

“How is your wife any different? I want her gone. I want her bones over a pit burning.” She seethed.

“She wants the same for you.” He laughed.

“Well she has Maec at her mercy. He did not kill her and he will not. I know for a fact he went back to her previous life. I know for a fact he fucked her several times.” Sanra snarled in crazed fury.

“You are a crazy loon lady. Go back to your brother and get yourself off. You are no better then an animal and I will gladly kill like one when the time comes.” Lei said scowling in her face.

“Oh you will rule the day denying me son.” She said laughing.

“Really? I think not.” He said grabbing her elegant throat.

Sanra saw her son as if for the first time and she smiled at him. Lei looked at her in absolute hatred and he shoved her away. She laughed prettily and watched him.

“Did you love the dog or did you just do all that for power?” He asked in a hushed voice.

“Power. He was entertaining and a good time but I could care less about him honestly.” She said smirking with cruelty.

“Always about your king hmm?” He asked in horror.

“Always.” Sanra said in a demented way.

“Disgusting.” Lei muttered shaking his head.

“Maec is one of the strongest Shouten ever born. He took the throne from our own father. You should have seen it. Ganek tr'Awnhi was weak and like Raganos; not like Maec. He knew the old ways before the old ones went away.” She said in her hero worship.

“Yeah. You are crazy.” Lei said shuddering.

“You are nothing!” She screamed.

“Maybe not but then I do not aspire to the throne. Get lost.” He said walking away.

“I should have drowned you at birth!” Sanra snarled.

“Sorry!” He said making an obscene gesture.

Lei had just been given a whole lot of insanity and it made him sick. His wife was hiding much like she did from her other mates and he was bound and determined she would not have to be that way with him. He closed his eyes and he concentrated with all his might. She was especially talented at shutting down bonds and it frustrated him to no end. He felt her faintly and she was not too far away. He phased to her and he found her asleep with his sire watching over her. Shan Lao looked up and nodded to Lei. His eldest boy crossed his arms and his father phased out to give him privacy. He sat on the bed next to her and she rolled over to see him.

“That thing that birthed me paid me a visit. She tells me that you and Maec have been playing cat and mouse.” He said thinly.

“She is crazy and you know it.” Asuna snorted.

“I figured as much. What are you keeping from me?” Lei whispered.

Tears welled up and she stared past him. He stiffened and he knew without her saying anything.

“When?” He asked in a pained tone.

“When Shan Lao and I went to retrieve Nobu and my mother.” She said shoving down her emotions.

“Why did you not tell me?” Lei asked taking her hands.

“Because you wished for it and I lost our child to Sanra!” She said beginning to sob.

“Asuna please.” He said trying to hold her.

“No!” She said pushing him away.

“Pardon me?” He demanded hurt.

“I do not want your pity or to try again. I want to leave well enough alone right now. I have things that need doing and you distract me.” Asuna growled in anger.

“I distract you?” Lei asked in a rising temper.

“Hai. I have a spell to figure out and I have to get it.” She said wiping her eyes.

“You will accept Yhea's help but not my own?” He asked in a sudden jealous rage.

“He does not demand from me right now.” She said meeting his eyes.

“Are you fucking him?” Lei asked in a furious tone.

“If I was it should not matter. It was done as a means to an end.” Asuna retorted.

He was choking back such horrendous emotion and he suddenly shook her. She clawed at him and he threw her back.

“How dare you! How dare you make me love you and then turn to him!” He said flying into a rage.

“Grow up Lei.” She screamed.

Bloody tears actually fell from his eyes and he phased out. She sat down on the bed and buried her head under her arms to sob. She had fought with him to protect the babe that had survived and Yhea too. It tore her up to do what she had done but she felt certain she was doing the right thing.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lei was devastated and his chest was heaving. He had returned to Britain to see to packing up his children and leaving. He directed a servant to gather up Shen and Lifen's belongings and he was returning to his proper era. His chest hurt terribly and he wanted to hurt her. He wanted her to suffer badly. Bai was in the door and he looked back.

“Lei what is wrong?” She asked.

“I am going back to my own era sister. I want nothing to do with this anymore. I want nothing to do with her.” He said gathering important heirlooms.

“Brother please do not be rash.” Bai said softly.

“Bai this is not me. I am not like this and I will go back to who I am. She honored her word and I have my family I wished. To hell with her!” He said shaking.

The servant came in followed by his son and daughter.

“Please come Shen and Lifen. We are going back for awhile.” He said taking their hands.

“Why Father?” Shen asked.

“Because I have said. Now children.” He said as he phased with them both.

Bai looked sad and she knew things were bad. She sighed and she waited on the fireworks to begin.

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

Asuna had returned much later to Britain with Shan Lao and she was horrified to find out that he was gone with their two children. She was even more horrified to learn that he had not said exactly what era he had gone to. Bai shrugged and could not give her anymore information.

“He took my son and daughter?” She cried to Shan Lao.

“In fairness Asuna they are his children as well.” He said.

“Shut up! How dare you!” She screamed.

Asuna's mind was in agony and she knew he was not as good at time traversing as Yhea or Bai. She was wringing her hands and she ported to Juria. Her tengu looked over at her and sighed. She patted the mat next to her and she hugged her.

“I wish you would stop taunting Maec.” She said sighing.

“You do not deal with him because you do not remember much like I do not remember Ayana.” She remarked.

“That would be correct. The few things I do remember were good and you were one of them and Yasu as well.” She smiled sadly.

“I am so angry right now.” Asuna murmured as she laid her head in Juria's lap.

“Hai I know. Naraku is an ass sometimes but he does love you.” She said running her claws through her silver hair.

“Not as much as his precious Kikyo! Lei is jealous over Yhea and I cannot loose this babe. I already lost the other.” She said a couple of tears fell down her cheeks.

“Leave the wraith king alone! Leave Sanra alone and deal with things here! Stay out of Kazak Shouten things for awhile. He will be so busy trying to gather strength Asuna.” She said as her eyes held an eerie look.

“What are you seeing?” She demanded.

“Lei is back in the beginning. He is wounded emotionally.” Juria replied.

“Go back to my youth?” Asuna asked.

“Hai. You need deal with the past issues anyway. Might as well deal with Lei there too.” She said softly.

Juria willed several crystals into her hands and she looked at Asuna.

“To answer your unspoken question; you are able to channel Yhea's own yoki. When you two did that weird melding spell, you took in his power as he took in yours.” Juria said at her thoughts.

“So I have some more Shouten powers?” She asked surprised.

“You can enter Hueco Mundo freely now. Time will tell.” She shrugged.

Asuna took the crystals and she threw one. She passed through the portal and she looked back. She was in the past and she decided to deal with Lei now. She ported to Hadasan and she could not tell if she was in the other plane or not but by the expressions of the Shouten; she was. She marched her way into his rooms and she found him in bed with one of his old lovers. Asuna's face was set in stone and Lei sat up.

“By the Gods, what the hell do you think you are doing here?” He hissed.

“Do not think to keep me from our children.” She said coldly.

“Pardon my wife. She is under the impression I give a damn what she thinks.” Lei said standing.

His male companion was stunned to see a female corporeal let alone to hear that it was his wife.

“Should I leave?” The younger man asked.

“By all means stay. Lei knows I enjoy his habits.” Asuna said crossing her arms.

“Please excuse me.” The young man said trying to slip away.

“Stay!” Asuna said snarling.

“Do not dare yell at my lover.” Lei said in contempt.

“What is your name?” The inu princess asked in a low growl.

“Zhuan.” He said afraid.

Asuna moved closer to the dark brown haired male and she looked into his very dark blue eyes. Lei was incensed at her and she was pretty angry at him.

“You are not Jing.” She murmured.

“No. I am Besud.” He said terrified of the obviously powerful female.

“Leave the young man alone Asuna. Stomp and snarl somewhere else.” Lei said in anger.

She cupped the young male's chin and she leaned forward. She kissed him right there and he made a surprised noise. Lei was shocked at her move and Zhuan opened his mouth mistakenly. She bit into his tongue lightly and he suddenly groaned in blissful agony.

“Stop it!” Lei said trying to grab her.

She pulled back and stared at him. She reached out and grabbed Lei's throat and her wraith husband was getting angrier.

“He thinks to make me jealous and angry but I think you are delightful. If he likes, I will watch. If you like you may watch.” She said turning and she invaded Lei's mouth.

Lei was wretchedly angry but she was kissing him exactly how he liked and she was using every ounce of her yoki to weaken his resolve. He was on his knees on the bed and he wrenched his lips from hers and groaned heavily.

“I lied to you. I did not want to face the loss of our babe. I did not wish to tell you because you wanted him so badly. I have used Yhea because he owes me. I have used him because he was a bastard.” She whispered in his ear.

“Use him?” Lei asked in groan.

“Hai.” She whispered against his mouth.

Zhuan felt out of place and he again tried to sneak away. Asuna grabbed his arm and he stared at her in shock.

“Stay.” She said with red eyes.

“Asuna let him go.” Lei whispered.

“No. You wanted him here for a reason. Take him.” She said to him.

“Asuna!” He growled.

“Lei.” She smirked.

“Oh Gods woman. Not right now. I want to talk to you.” He said exasperated.

She was feeling rather feisty and she jerked the young Besud to Lei and raised a brow. He stared at her in annoyance and finally Zhuan phased out when Lei would do nothing. She undid her silver hair and she slowly undid her clothes. Lei was trying to be angry with her still but she lay on his bed and beckoned him over. He crawled over to her and she undid his long ebony hair.

“Have you bound with him?” he demanded.

“Hai. It was done some time back when Maec had attacked and I was weak.” Asuna said.

“Yhea did it to strengthen you. Bastard and now you have used it to take from him.” Lei said in understanding.

“I have come to like him better but he still owes us much Lei.” She said softly.

Yhea had told her to tell him whatever he wanted to hear. He had said to calm his arrogant older brother down and make peace. He had stated he was beyond the need to have the rivalry anymore. Lei watched her and he moved between her thighs.

“Did you really want to see me like that?” He asked.

“If it would have made you calm and happy then hai.” Asuna nodded.

“Why could you not come to me and tell me our baby was dead?” Lei asked.

She looked away and he made her look at him. He could feel more pain in her and he watched her face.

“What else are you not saying?” He demanded.

“Nothing. I have had enough right now. I want you home and I want Shen and Lifen home. I am their mother.” She said coldly.

“Not until you can talk to me as you used to.” Lei said pulling away.

“Do not do this Lei!” Asuna said in anger.

“I will do as I wish. You demanded we bind. You demanded that I become apart of you and by the Gods if you shut me out then you shut us all out. You cannot just have my children and not have me. I am either on your little exclusive list of beloved ones or not at all.” He said in a severe temper.

She went to strike him and he slapped her hard. She fell back and he came on her. His face held his anger and more. He phased her hanfu away and dragged her to the edge of the bed.

“Tell me now Asuna or get out of my life forever.” He said coldly.

“You do not…” She tried to say.

“Oh I do not? What do I not do wife? What do I not have a right to do?” Lei snarled.

He reached up and slammed her arms up over her head and used his kemuri and hiebie to solidify. Her hands were trapped and she stared at him in anger. She twisted on the bed and he perused her body with black eyes. She could tell he was angry but when his hands touched her there was nothing but gentleness in them. He ran his fingers over her skin and he ran the pads of his fingers over her nipples. Her eyes widened and he just barely touched her. He cocked his head as he just continued to touch her bare flesh. It was not licentious in nature and her skin was becoming flushed badly. His fingers he ran down her stomach and past her sex till his reached her thighs. Lei just continued to run them down her legs till he reached her calves and her feet.

“Lei!” She gasped.

“What?” He mumbled.

“What are you doing?” Asuna husked.

He glared at her and his eyes met hers. He rolled her and he began to do the same to the back of her neck and her back. When he reached her round, pert backside he was bothered. He had gotten himself worked up but he refused for her to see it. He grasped her firm cheeks and squeezed them in his hands and she moaned a little as he fought his own desires. Memories were assaulting him; the distant memory of having hurt her made his skin crawl and for some reason he felt the need to obliterate it. Asuna felt him spread her open and she groaned as he lightly ran his finger tips from her cleft to her nub.

“Lei! Kamis you sadistic bastard.” Asuna growled.

“Oh? You think me sadistic? What do you call yourself when you deny me? You deny me access to your heart. You know how I am and you took all that I am and took me from myself!” He snarled out.

He decided to be cruel and he rolled her to her back. He positioned her and slipped inside of her only shallowly. She lifted her head and stared at him. He pouted at her as he gave extremely taunting and teasing thrusts. He jerked himself back and she whined as he again rolled her to her belly.

“Jing Lei Shi!” Asuna snarled out in utter wildness.

“Sadistic my darling. You said I was sadistic.” Lei said snapping.

He lowered his head and began to use his tongue to stroke her deeply. He was giving her just enough and using his tongue in the most sinful of ways in the most sinful of places. Her mind flashed to the ancient memories of what had not quite happened and she began to shake. She began to beg him and Lei ignored her. She was fighting his solidified shoki and she whimpered out as he got up. He dissolved his two shoki and he phased his clothes on. He walked away from her and she blinked back very angry tears. She grabbed one of his dressing gowns and she went to follow after him. He was gone and she looked wildly around for him. She saw Zhuan and she neared him.

“Where does he go?” She asked in a strained voice.

“Lady Jing. I swear it was just this once. I did not know of your marriage.” He said in fear.

“I did not ask for an explanation boy! I want to know where he is! He is sheltering our binding and I want to see him now!” Asuna said flatly.

“I have known him to haunt the hills around this very palace.” Zhuan bowed deeply.

She nodded and she ported out. She was stalking him and she lifted her nose to try and sense him. Lei was astonished but he could have no peace from her. She found him quickly and she slammed him against a nearby tree. She had a palm outstretched across his face and they were staring at the other hard.

“Naraku cannot get over her. I love openly and often but not the way I do with a few. You can and will rip my heart out.” She said almost hypervenelating.

“Who do you love like you do the halfling?” Lei growled.

“I love you like Naraku. You will hurt me the same way.” Asuna stated.

“Really? I will? Grand! Get off of me.” He said trying to shove her away.

“You will act insane like he does. I will hate you at times like I do him.” She said gripping his pein-fu.

“I am not the halfling. I am not that being.” Lei shouted.

“You are no different! Our meeting and our tie are no different.” Asuna growled brushing her nose against his.

“If you think this then let us be done.” He hissed.

“Lei.” She whimpered.

“Some of your memories are not me Asuna. Some are and some are not. You do not understand that do you? I never molested your person. I only took credit for it.” He said holding her face.

“Then why take credit for it?” She asked in a pained voice.

“To hurt you.” He replied.

“That is my whole point.” Asuna said in a trembling tone.

Lei grew incensed and he threw her off. He stared at her as she fell on her butt.

“It was also lies from Maec and his ilk that I believed but you believed them too. If you think yourself so above that then go on. Sanra told me that he went to your past. He said that you as Ayana had a grand time with the Shouten king.” Lei said sneering.

“I cannot defend what I do not remember.” She growled.

“You choose not to remember.” He scoffed.

“You are right I choose not to remember. I have things going on that I would rather not change.” She said picking herself up.

“Go away. Your weakness and self condemnation makes me sick. Your inability to give me what I need is appalling. I can accept you as you are but you have to be willing to at least be honest. Get out!” He snarled.

His words stung badly and she blinked back tears. She ported out and he stared at the spot where she had been. He was tired and he truly did not think his heart could handle more.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was sitting on a hill that was near Shanghai. She had not been to this place in a long while. She had also not been to it in the modern era where it had become one of the biggest cities in the world. Asuna laid her forehead on her knees and she could not believe that Maec would indirectly destroy her relationship with Lei. Tears stung her eyes and she allowed herself to weep whilst she was alone. She heard twigs snap under foot and she let Konkisaiga appear. She moved so fast the other party was shocked. Geming stared at her with his emerald eyes in surprise.

“Lady Asuna? What are you doing out here?” He asked surprised.

“Why are you sneaking up on me?” She growled.

“I did not recognize the aura my lady and you have charged me with protecting these lands, why would I not sneak up on you?” He retorted.

“Do not toy with me Geming.” Asuna hissed.

“As you command my lady.” He said with a snotty smirk.

“Have I faced the wraith?” She asked shaking.

“Which one?” Geming asked confused.

“Jing. Have I faced Jing?” Asuna asked sighing heavily.

“Yes very recently in fact. You have recovered from that terrible wound in your chest. Are you feeling badly?” He asked feeling her head.

“I feel fine. I am only fatigued!” She snapped out.

“Jing is on the run at the moment.” He replied.

“Thank you General Geming. You may go.” Asuna said tightly.

“You sent me away. You sent me away right after things happened. Why was that Lady Asuna?” Geming asked roughly.

She stiffened when she realized what it was he was saying.

“You really mean to tell me that General Baku is so much better then I?” He growled.

Asuna was wrestling with too much on her mind and she let her fang recede. Geming noticed but he did not have time to say much. Her mouth covered his and the smart mouth red was shocked. She kissed him with rawness of her emotions and she suddenly jerked back.

“You are better off Geming.” Asuna said trying to walk away.

“What the hell is going on? Since when do you have a fang from your own yoki?” Geming asked surprised.

“Do not pry General.” She warned.

“Pardon?” He growled.

“DO NOT pry. Go on about your duties and leave me be.” She said growling.

Geming could scent her tears and he could scent another male all over her. It was a strange smell to him and he was suddenly against her as he scented her neck.

“What is this I scent? It is like that creature that harmed you.” Geming hissed.

“That creature that harmed me is a Shouten wraith Geming. We are on the wrong track but it does not matter right now.” She said feeling his powerful hands roving her back.

“Wrong track? My lady did he get you with child? Your sire told me he raped you! Did he pup you?” He said incensed.

“Back off Geming!” She snarled.

His eyes were bleeding red and he stared at her stomach and he pressed his hand to her stomach and she grabbed his wrist in a powerful grip. Her other hand a current began to crackle and Geming was startled.

“Harm my pup and it will be the last thing you do.” She said in a hiss.

“How can you keep this thing? That bastard harmed you! What would Tekeshi say?” Geming yelled.

“Tekeshi would never harm an innocent and this is not Lei Jing's babe.” She said putting down her hand.

“Do you know more of these evil things?” He asked astonished.

“I know many of them. I know the Jing clan well and I know the Tomoshibi as well. Sit down Geming. I am not your Asuna from this era.” She sighed.

“I do not understand.” His said as he sat.

“I mean that you know much but you know of my family's tengu. Her name is actually Juria and she has sent me to the past before. This is my past. I am still fighting the Shouten.” She sighed.

“But Jing?” He asked shocked.

“Lei is an enemy now but not in my era.” Asuna said sighing.

“Did you not kill him? Did he not rape you? Did he not stick a sword through your chest?” Geming demanded.

“Actually I do not know. I have not asked him that. I still remember it and it still happened but did he actually do it? Interesting questions Geming.” She pondered.

“Are you friends with that ass loving unnatural half man?” Her general snarled.

Asuna stiffened and she saw the object of speculation in his ether form. Geming looked where she was and saw nothing.

“Do you intend to stand there like an idiot or do you plan to come out?” She demanded.

It appeared to be Lei but she was leery for some reason. He phased out behind her and tried to yank her hair. She let hand her extend and her fang was met with a morphed limb. He looked angry and very ready to kill her.

“Ass loving half man?” He purred at Geming.

“Who are you?” She hissed.

“I am Lei Jing! Who are you she dog?” He asked hissing loudly.

She was thrown backwards with strength and she hit a tree. She released nami after nami but this creature was dodging easily enough. There was no familiarity beyond enemies and he was suddenly in front of her with his hand wrapped around her throat. His other hand held her jaw until it cracked and she screamed.

“What is this?” He whispered in a sickly sweet voice.

“No!” she hissed.

“Your other bow wow is unconscious. Do I actually feel Shouten within you?” The Lei she remembered from her past chuckled.

“I will kill you!” She snarled.

“Right.” He laughed.

He did not even bother to phase his hand and only morphed it. This being shoved his limb into her belly deeply. His face held nothing but hatred as he slipped back a bloody hand.

“You are a fucking tr'Awnhi.” She gasped as she slid down the tree.

“Very intelligent. Astana got sick of the Jing prick taking his time. I cannot allow a bastard to run around.” He smirked with an evil smile.

“Who?” She said coughing up blood.

“Curious you know of us. I am Anjul tr'Awnhi. You will die soon enough. My father's writings always said you were more powerful.” He chuckled.

Geming was barely awake and she bleeding terribly and Asuna wanted truth so she stalled. This Shouten was keeping the area secure and she tried to crawl away.

“Maec is your father?” She said keeping back her gasps.

“Yes. Maec is my father. I am the third son. Technically Lei Jing is my cousin of sorts. We look enough alike and his tastes are enough like mine but I must say you were sweet to conqueror.” He smirked.

“Maec would not like you touching me.” Asuna said as tears fell down her face.

“My father is not here and Raganos is king. Raganos wants you dead.” He said sneering.

Asuna saw at the edge of her vision and she saw dark grey silk. She could smell a little blood but Anjul was quite suddenly stiff as her Lei stood behind him with his phased into his chest.

“Asuna.” He rasped as blood covered him.

“Meet my rapist. Meet your imposter.” She said as she then laid her head down on the ground.

“Did Astana send you?” Lei demanded.

“Yes! You were taking too long in ridding us of her! You fool! You betray your own kind!” Anjul snarled in pain.

“I am a Jing. I was born a Jing and I will die a Jing. You are filth. Die you son of whore!” Lei said as he did something within Anjul.

The young male fell dead at Lei's feet and her husband made a wounded noise as he picked her up.

“What did you do?” She asked grimacing.

“I burned his heart with my kemuri.” He admitted.

Lei saw the wound in her belly and he could sense nothing but he saw the red haired dog that used to be her general.

“Please take him back to Shanghai.” She begged.

“No! Why did he wound you this way?” Lei asked in a terrible voice.

“Belly wounds are awful.” Asuna trembled as shock set in.

“Quit lying to me!” He screamed.

Geming was awake a little and he was witnessing the conversation some.

“I have nothing. Please put me down and I will seek attention. You need attention as well. I intend to get the spell out of Maec and I will separate us.” She said as color drained from her face.

“Fuck you! You will not. I did not ask for us to be unbound.” He said laying her down gingerly.

“You said we were over.” She growled.

“Over maybe but not unbound. I have no wish to suffer that!” Lei said trying to think.

“We are bleeding out.” Asuna grunted.

“Dog are you alive?” He asked in irritation.

“Yes.” Geming groaned.

“Drag your canine ass home. I have to help us.” Lei said picking her up and phasing them out.

Lei managed to fall into his bed and he yelled out for a servant. He asked for Jao to come and Asuna had passed out. Hanaj would have fallen wherever he was and that thought scared Lei. He knew she must have carried but whose babe was making him insane. Jao arrived and his distant cousin began to pack the wounds and Lei looked at him.

“She was pregnant my lord. She carried Jing blood.” He said gently as he cleaned her up.

“Jing?” He asked in a brittle tone.

“Yes.” Jao replied.

“Was it my child?” He said shaking.

“I have no way to know for sure. She is succubus correct?” His relation asked.

“Yes.” Lei nodded.

“She will live but I suggest she stay abed.” He said bowing and walking away.

Lei stared down at her and rage filled him. He cut his own wrist and he began to feed her. Her eyes came to slowly and he was shaking fiercely.

“Why? Why can you not come clean with me?” He demanded.

“I did not wish to loose this.” She said as tears fell from her eyes.

“Stupid woman.” Lei said slamming his fist down by her head.

Lei fell on her and she groaned in pain and pure pleasure as he slowly pushed into her deeply. His hands grasped hers tightly as he only rotated his hips gently.

“Lei!” She whimpered out.

“What? I need this.” He snapped.

“You have been hurt enough.” She said sobbing out.

“So you set us up?” Lei demanded.

“Hai!” She groaned.

“I am not Naraku. If I have to drag his ass and tie him down so you can make him see reason then fine but I am not that bastard. I am yours! Everything you have done has tied me to you. You will never be free of me Asuna. We can stop being together but never apart.” He whispered as his lips crashed against hers.

She lost it and wrenched her hands free from his and she held him tightly as their flesh collided. Neither could hold back for long nor did they wish to. Lei carefully pulled back from her battered body and spooned her nakedness with his own.

“Zhuan is terrified of you.” He said kissing the back of her neck.

“He should not be.” She said sleepily.

“I told him as much.” He smiled.

“Did you really engage him?” Asuna asked yawning.

“Yes. I was mad and I wanted you to want me.” He said embarrassed.

“What entice me with your wild ways?” She asked softly and amused.

“Yes.” He actually blushed.

“We are something.” She said falling asleep.

“Yes. We are something but it is great and you only need to see it.” He whispered.

Lei was contemplating part of his problem and the halfling was making his life hell unknowingly. He stood up and he decided to spy. He intended to go further back. He called Zhuan and he trusted the younger man implicitly.

“My wife sleeps. I do not want her leaving for any reason.” He said preparing himself.

“She is more powerful then I am my lord.” His friend stated.

“Make certain Shen and Lifen stay with her and when she needs rest please make certain you share her bed.” Lei said deep in thought.

“My lord?” The poor Besud said bewildered.

“She is healing and she will need strong blood Zhuan. You are young but you are a Besud. Please do as I ask.” Lei stated.

“You are married?” Zhuan asked suddenly quite red in the face.

“I never hid it or lied.” He shrugged.

“I would not have come back to your bed Lei! Now you ask me to do this?” He asked getting redder in the face.

“Asuna is unusual Zhuan. She is marvelous and I intend to lavish Jing attention on her. You my friend are an adopted Jing.” He said smugly.

“You used me to get to her!” He said mortified.

“I used you to satisfy myself and a good friend. Talk with her.” Lei said phasing out.

Zhuan felt like a fool and Lei was a passionate individual. He slipped into the room and he blushed madly as he took in the form of the silver haired woman. He could smell the wound healing and he neared her carefully.

“What is Lei planning?” She asked without opening her eyes.

“By the GODS!” He yelped.

“He is trapping me here for what reason?” She asked softly.

“Not trapping you here. He is wanting you to heal is all. I am really sorry for the other day. If I had known…” Zhuan stammered.

“Please stop. I know what Lei was doing and I tell you I am okay.” Asuna said pushing herself up.

She did not seem to care of her nakedness and she looked at her stomach. Tears escaped the corners of her eyes and she was shaking a little.

“Are you like most Jings are or do you prefer just males?” She asked as she dressed.

“I am like most Jings.” He said keeping his eyes averted.

“I see. Lei is trying to tempt me.” Asuna said bluntly.

Zhuan turned brighter red then any blood and he sat down. He enjoyed his good friend and sometimes companion very much but it was an understatement to say that he was crafty and manipulative. He had never been used by Lei before and he did not like it.

“You will be okay.” She said stepping by him.

“I find this very intolerable. I am not a toy for him or you. I resent this and he is an ass…” He went on to say before silenced by her mouth.

Asuna tilted his head a little and his mouth was almost slack. Zhuan's breath was stolen and she slowly pulled back.

“He is trying to keep me busy whilst he does something I will disagree with.” She informed him.

“So you want me to help you?” He asked sighing.

“Hai.” She nodded.

“I do not know his plans. I do know he is upset and you are upset. What you both are upset about I have no clue.” Zhuan stated.

“The truth is that I am a succubus and inu. Lei was once a very bitter enemy I thought but now I have no clue when I faced him. I know I did but he apparently was fairly elusive. Hanaj tr'Awnhi and I became lovers and I thought he had betrayed me to his brother. Lei had come to tell me of the death of two of my youngest pups. I trapped him and made him bind with me.” She explained.

“Interesting. You trapped Lei into a mating.” He said sitting.

“Hai well he has gotten something out of it. We both have. I have given him two children.” Asuna stated.

“He has wanted a large family.” He murmured.

“Are Shouten territorial normally?” She asked archly.

“Yes. We are not empusae. We may be blood drinkers but we are fairly monogamous once there has been a mating and marriage.” He replied.

“I see. Well I am not and I think it wars with Lei's instincts.” She said cocking her head to the side.

“Yes. I think so. Who else are you mated to?” Zhuan inquired.

“Lei has two more brothers besides Renshu. One through his birth mother and one through his real father.” She explained.

“Really?” He exclaimed shocked.

“Yes. I adopted one as my son and the other one I have managed to fall for as well.” Asuna said.

“I see. Well you are something different.” Zhuan replied.

Asuna just watched the pretty Shouten and she wondered what the hell Lei was up to.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lei had gone back some and he was in an era where he had been more concerned with getting laid then anything else. He felt anguish at the babe who had been killed thoughtlessly and he wondered about his own. He figured it was Yhea's child. He figured she guarded the identity to protect his worthless younger brother. Fury ate at him but he suppressed it as he let him find the halfling. This was during a time known as the Shikon no Tama and he was certain he would find the bastard roaming somewhere. He actually wanted to see this priestess that had captured the man's imagination. Lei was roaming near one of the northern castles and he could sense tons of daemon energies. He shivered and wondered if the bastard had absorbed a Shouten before Thei. He phased through the barrier and wondered how the man with such impeccable taste could be such a damn recluse. Lei had a penchant for fine silks, linens, and cottons. He also liked rich color. Naraku he had always seen in dark royal purples, navy, black, and grays. Lei thought him very drab. He was wandered in true form and he saw the dark halfling. He was stunned with how gorgeous he was. His long ebony hair fell in waves and he was just stunning. He preferred to be direct so he phased in and he was instantly grabbed by an appendage and squeezed really hard.

“What are you?” Naraku asked bluntly.

“I am a Shouten.” Lei replied.

“Why have you invaded my abode?” The hanyou said in a cold, elegant voice.

“Wondering at your stupidity halfling.” He said looking him over.

Naraku withdrew his tentacle and Lei had to suppress his lust. This being was just that gorgeous and the idea of his equally gorgeous wife in the throes of passion with him made him almost groan.

“You have a strange aura but one that is not unfamiliar to me. Please explain yourself.” He said reaching for a haori.

“Seen any inu princesses lately?” Lei said smirking slyly.

Naraku stiffened and he looked up at the other male.

“How do you know of her?” He growled.

“Let us just say I know of her quite well. Her daddy is one of your enemies and you just find her oh so yum. You also find a priestess fetching if I remember right.” He said walking around the dark castle.

“I do not like mysteries.” Naraku said in a tight voice.

“Well I do not like loosing my relationship because you are an absolute fucking fool but we shall try and manage, okay with you?” The Shouten said narrowing his eyes.

“Fool? What do you know of me?” Naraku said sitting intrigued.

“I know part of you pines away for some priestess cunt. A woman must be very spectacular indeed to get my attention and the she dog has managed to do that. She has your attention probably because you wish to try and figure out how to best daddy and uncle.” He said tapping his foot.

“I have met her in person. She is mouthy and arrogant.” He snorted.

“Oh you bedded her.” Lei laughed.

“Perhaps not.” Naraku said narrowing his eyes.

“Oh yes you have. I see it in your face. She is part blood drinker idiot. Did you not kidnap her mother and set the succubus at Lord Sesshomaru or was that the other Naraku?” He asked growling.

“Watch your tongue or you may loose it!” The hanyou said in anger.

Lei was instantly behind him and Naraku was surprised by the speed of this youkai. He was also wondering how he could augment himself.

“You will not take my powers or I will freeze and burn what makes you male right off your body. I want my life back and your little obsessions are making it a little too cramped in my bedroom. I occasionally share my bed with Hanaj as well as my wife but you are on her mind a little too much. You are coming with me.” He said grabbing Naraku and phasing quickly.

Asuna was there instantly and her jaw dropped shocked when she saw who Lei had. He shoved Naraku forward and he stared at her defiantly.

“Deal with it. Deal with it now or I will.” He stated firmly.

“This is too much! He wants her!” Asuna snarled.

“Wants who?” Naraku growled.

“Oh please you want your miko whore. Say it Onigumo! Say her name. Breathe Kikyo.” She said with utter hatred.

“I am Naraku.” He said as his eyes flared.

“Oh really? You are Naraku? You are half ningen and your ningen half's name is Onigumo. He wanted sweet little Kikyo. That whore even wanted my uncle to change. Go ahead and speak.” Asuna said as she circled him.

“Who is this man?” The hanyou asked with his own contempt.

“I am Jing Lei Shi. I am a Shouten wraith and I lead my clan in this era. This woman is my wife and she recently lost my child. I am angry and bitter about it because she went to rescue your sorry ass. Now deal with your issues because if not then I will!” Lei snarled to both of them.

Naraku blinked and he knew from dealing with this onna on and off that she was his lover. He also knew at some point she bore him a child. He was not aware that they had actually mated. He stared at her and it was obvious there was much history and she looked shocked at the other man.

“Why are you mated more then once?” Naraku asked bluntly.

“Because she will kill you or me dumb ass. One lone mate she cannot have or she will wipe them out; drain their life energies away. She cannot properly explain because she was raised as a dog. She was raised to think she is a whore. She is a sexual predator and she has to have a buffet if you will in order to survive. Now deal with your issues. I want my child you promised.” Lei snarled at her.

“I have given you two!” She cried.

“Yes you have given me two and I want another.” He said making a face and phasing out.

“Demanding man there. So we have issues?” He asked circling her.

“You bet your hanyou ass we have issues! Her name is Kikyo.” Asuna growled.

“You are threatened by a ningen miko?” Naraku asked smirking.

“Do not smirk at me Naraku. Do not mock me. You do not know but I have given you children; real children and that onna gives you hate!” She said glaring at him.

“How cute. I am obviously domesticated in this other era. Do you think I have time to sit here and play house?” He asked sneering.

“No. You are obsessed with power. Still are but power of different sort in the future. You will never change. I do not know why I ever thought you could. You were not worth saving. You were not worth heart ache. You most certainly were not worth facing my sire's wrath over.” Asuna stated as her heart wrenched.

“You seem to think you are something special. You are very comely I admit. I admire your power but honestly what makes you think I would ever give up Kikyo?” He asked.

Rage went through her and this was a very young Naraku. He was still very much caught up on the miko. Her hand twitched and she wondered why in hell Lei would bring this Naraku to her. She went to him and Asuna ran fingertips over his jaw.

“Do you remember the time before you called upon all the youkai? Do you remember when I showed up Onigumo?” She asked in a low sultry tone.

“I believe he remembers barely.” The hanyou said eyeing her.

“I gave him my blood half breed. I was there the day you took in all the youkai. I was there.” She hissed.

“Congratulations then inu. Pardon but I have things to do.” He growled.

“Unless you have taken in a Shouten before; you cannot phase out of this plane. We are in Hueco Mundo and I have absolutely no intentions of doing you any favors.” She said sitting down on a chaise lounge.

“You bitch!” He snapped.

“You state the obvious.” Asuna smirked.

Naraku came at her ready to strike and she grabbed his hand and licked along his wrist. His eyes widened and it was overly erotic and pleasant.

“Do not be so familiar.” Naraku said in a low hiss.

“Have we not coupled?” Asuna asked.

“Hai we have but I do not trust you!” He said coolly.

“You do not trust me? Oh you are hilarious hanyou. Whatever. Make yourself comfortable Naraku because I am not going anywhere. Lei is most put out right now and I am honestly bent towards seeing his will.” She said closing her eyes.

Lei was close enough to hear her and he hid his smirk. He was thrilled with his woman at that moment and he left to go spend time with his son and daughter. The two were only months apart in age and acted like twins. He truly should have brought Khellian but the boy wished to stay near Hanaj. Naraku stared at the tart in fury and he wandered around her as she reclined casually at the moment.

“You arrogant dog!” He growled.

“Hai perhaps I am but I am not the one who is throwing away our happiness for a damn ningen!” She snarled.

“Explain your words.” Naraku commanded.

“Why should I? You still pine for Kikyo. Shall we find her? Hmm, shall we find her and shall you throw yourself at her feet and beg for attention and love?” Asuna asked in anger.

Naraku's eyes took on a reddish hue and she was seething in jealousy and anger. She was embittered by his feelings for the woman who would have seen him dead. She suddenly ported out with him and they were in Japan. She intended to find the undead miko but she was so full of thoughts of revenge that it made her wish to seek someone Naraku hated.

“I hate you right now. Find her and I hope she burns the hell out of you. I on the other hand intend to bring together two brothers.” She said leaving him there.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna could not forgive herself for loosing either Lei or Yhea's sons and she intended to get the two to get along. She was tired of the fighting and she was tired of hiding. She went back to Hadasan and went to her children and Lei was watching them play. He looked up and nodded to her and she sat down.

“I have decided it is time to go home. I do not want to deal with Naraku right now. I want to deal with you.” She said flatly.

“This is home she dog.” Lei said softly.

“Lei please. I wish for Shen and Lifen to be with their brothers and sisters.” Asuna pleaded.

His face fell and he sighed. He nodded and stood up.

“Come on. I suppose we should go back to see Khellian, right?” He asked his son and daughter.

Lifen nodded with solemn eyes and so did Shen. He could kill Asuna for bestowing them with her wide eyes. He picked up his daughter and she picked up their son. After some time they had made their way back to the modern era and the two squealed. They took off to find their brother and Lei sighed. He felt as though nothing had been accomplished except they were cordial. He left her standing there and she followed after him. He walked into his bedroom to change his clothing and she came up behind him. She breathed along the back of his neck and he took in a deep breath. She brought her arms around his waist as she began to undo his ku for him.

“Asuna what are you doing?” Lei demanded.

“Attending you.” She said in a deep tone.

“I can attend myself.” He said softly.

“Not this time.” Asuna growled gently.

The rich silk slipped down his legs and she brazenly caressed his inner thighs and then his testes. His eyes fluttered shut as she kept it gentle but delicious pressure.

“I am sorry. I was wrong. I hurt you for naught.” She said as she rolled one.

“I cannot give my heart the same way as I have with you. I do not have it in me. You stole my soul woman. I love you and I cannot stop but I will not be just any lover. You took me and I demand more.” He whimpered.

“Hai. Tell me what you demand Lei.” She whispered as she began to lick along his tendons.

“I know there is deep love between us. I want to keep it that way.” Lei said whispering.

“Deep breathe my darling.” She instructed.

Lei knew what it was she would do but he could never describe the intense pleasure. His eyes bled white and he shook as she applied her telekinesis as she slowly began to stroke him. Tsunami like waves of pleasure washed through him as she made the feelings more intense and throb harder.

“Yes. Gods just like that. Please bite my neck. Please.” He begged in a growling whimper.

She let her fangs slip in and he made such an obscene sound that it made her burn. Lei was straining and he wanted to beg her but he knew by now that would make her wicked and maker her deny him longer. She could be almost cruel when she wanted to prolong the act. She let his length go and Lei whined in disappointment but she replaced her hand with her mouth.

“I love you. I love when you do this.” He admitted groaning.

She pulled back and stared up at him. He growled in irritation and she licked at him softly.

“You bitch!” He whined.

“Hai. You just said you like when I did this.” She smirked as she barely licked him more.

“Asuna please. Not now.” Lei pleaded.

“Tell me again.” She demanded.

“Alright! I love you. I love you, okay?” He said sighing in frustration.

“How much wraith?” Asuna asked playfully as her thumb played along his length.

“So much. I cannot live without you.” Lei admitted.

“I promised you and I will give you another but I want you to get along with Yhea.” She said softly as she stroked him gently.

“Asuna damnit not now! Wicked woman! You evil thing.” He choked as she worked him to the edge again.

“Am I? You push Naraku but you push your own brother away. So close Lei.” She whispered as she kissed along him more and feverishly.

“Need blood. Gods! Give me please.” He rasped.

She lifted her wrist and he fumbled for her arm. He sank his fangs into her soft flesh and he groaned as she continued to torture him. She was causing his prostate to pulsate and he could feel his cock rock hard. He looked down and it was so damn hot what he saw. She was placing nips and kisses along him and then she wrapped her full lips around his stones.

“Oo-oh Gods wife. What do you want from me?” He moaned out.

“I want you to give Yhea a chance. Forget Naraku. Forget him. Forgive your brother.” She said lightly sucking on the head of his now purple cock.

“Yes! Yes! Fine. Whatever you want, okay? Please damn it!” Lei snarled.

Asuna stood up and she undid her hanfu. Lei was rough with her and threw her down on their bed. He spooned her from behind as he tried to reach the end. It felt so good and this felt so right. He shoved himself within her core over and over.

“Asuna! Damn you. Release me. I hurt so badly.” He said in a raspy whine.

“One more thing my darling.” She mumbled.

She closed her eyes and she knew she was taking a chance. She opened her mind to Yhea and he was shocked and so was Lei. He whispered in her mind no but she insisted. He phased in and gasped at the scene. Asuna clamped down upon Lei that he whined out.

“What are you doing?” He whimpered out.

“Healing!” She hissed.

“I do not want this.” Yhea snapped.

“I do.” Asuna growled.

“By the Gods, I cannot move! Asuna!” Lei hissed.

“Yhea please.” She whispered.

“What do you want exactly?” He demanded.

She beckoned him over and he neared her. He tried to ignore Lei and the older wraith was sweating badly. His wife had him under her yoki and within her body like a vise. Yhea lay on his side facing her and he could not believe himself. He leaned forward a little and she caught his mouth. He reached up his hand and threaded it into her hand as he began to kiss her deeply. Asuna pathed to Lei and he was furious and horrified that he was aroused. She slammed her hips backwards and she was rewarded with a long moan from him. Lei could not stop even if he wanted. He grabbed her hip and began to guide himself harder. Yhea began to kiss along her jaw and throat as she gasped and groaned.

“Need you Asuna. Please let me go.” Lei begged.

“No.” She whined.

She only let him go enough and he was merciless in his pummeling. Yhea was busy tasting her skin and took a nipple into his mouth. Lei's claws dug into her hip as her core gripped him and he snarled out as he sank his fangs into her juncture. She went rigid which offered more of her chest to Yhea. Lei was gasping and sputtering trying to take a deep breath as he fell back. Yhea intended to stop but Asuna would not let him get up.

“This is enough.” He whispered.

“No.” She nodded.

“Do it Yhea. Man up brother.” Lei said in a sharp tone.

“Excuse me Lei. Go to hell.” He growled.

Lei narrowed his eyes and he phased into Asuna. She gasped and she reached for him. She was suddenly straddling him and there was no waiting and she slid down him. His head came off the pillow and he cried out. Lei left her and he was behind her on his knees.

“Missed you. I have missed you.” He breathed out.

“Did you know Anjul tr'Awnhi?” Lei demanded from behind her.

“He was a brother of Raganos.” Yhea groaned.

“He impersonated me several times. He killed your son.” He said almost gently.

“No.” His brother cried.

“We make peace Yhea and you swear that you never cross the Jings again and you take the Jing name.” Lei demanded.

“Yes.” He nodded and he shut his eyes.

Lei took a deep breath and slowly left soft kisses on her shoulder and neck. He placed a hand on her hip and slowly help guide her in a slow rotation. Asuna was moaning and lost in a sea of sensations as Yhea moved with her. He forced himself up and held her tightly and he met the black eyes of Lei. It shocked him and there was a grudging acceptance from his elder brother. Lei lowered his mouth and sank his fangs hard into her juncture. He released his shoki and pulled back. Yhea saw it and jerked her forward hard and did the same. She groaned hard as he released a small bit of shoki in her. She kept what little hold she had left and Yhea gripped her to him tightly as he too culminated. He carefully laid her back and lay beside her. Lei lay behind her and he was mentally exhausted. She had forced her body to heal from her ordeal with Anjul tr'Awnhi but he hoped she carried. He intended to step into the fighting more and Yhea would just have to deal with it. Hell, he would have to deal with it if she was pregnant.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna sat up and her face turned green. She stumbled over Lei and Yhea to get to somewhere and she became sick. Yhea popped his head up and sighed softly. Lei too sat up and stared at his brother.

“I will get Jao.” Yhea said as he phased his clothes on.

Lei nodded and he went to her. She looked up at him and he smiled softly as he brushed her hair out of her face. He kissed her forehead and Yhea came in with Jao. The healer kneeled near her and pressed his hand to her belly. He nodded to Lei and the elder Jing picked up Asuna. He laid her on the bed as she sighed softly and nodded.

“Thank you.” He said brushing his knuckles across her cheek.

“You are worth it. Please never doubt me.” She said reaching for me.

“No. I do not.” Lei whispered.

Yhea felt out of place and he went to leave. Lei pinned him with a stare and he met the eyes of his brother. He came over and he watched Yhea and it was evident that something huge was brewing between them too. Lei narrowed his eyes and he realized he needed to exploit it and somehow make Yhea closer to him then Hanaj. His younger brother stared at him and there was much anger still to work through. Lei thrust out his hand and took Yhea's.

“We figure this out and we kill Maec.” Lei said flatly.

“First thing you have said that I completely agree with.” Yhea nodded.

“Fine.” He nodded.

Both of them looked at the other and then at Asuna. Yhea wondered at how powerful Lei really was. So far he had only really played nurse maid to her children but he knew the stories that he was actually pretty strong. He sighed and he had gotten used to the idea of having a son. He had been hit with the knowledge that the babe had been killed and now he was going to get another. He too was bitter as was Lei and they would make Maec pay.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Naraku was shaken up and he could not believe her words. They had been callous and hateful. His little inu was being a bitch of horrendous proportions and he really could not deal with the crap she was leashing out. He intended to find her and deal with her now. He felt her barely and he was able to port to her side. She was asleep and Lei Jing was asleep beside her. Naraku narrowed his eyes at him and Lei smiled at him.

“Well it is about time.” He said yawning.

“My turn Jing. I want to speak to her without YOU.” He growled.

“She's pretty pissed at you.” Lei said yawning.

“Your opinions do not really matter to me.” Naraku said sneering.

“Just so you know. I never touched you. You are absolutely gorgeous but it was not me. Now I did kill a cousin of mine that impersonated me and he may have been the one.” He said standing.

Naraku eyed Lei with disdain. The hanyou was pretty sure he knew who had been the one to harm him and he hated the bitch with a passion. Asuna stirred and she saw her hanyou mate standing there with a sour expression on his face and Lei phased away to give them privacy.

“What?” She growled.

“We will talk now!” He snapped.

“What is there to say?” Asuna asked.

“It was a trick that she used. I should not have to explain that I was in pain and Hibari's actions left me reeling.” Naraku stated in a low voice.

“I understand all that but Kikyo? I hate her with such violence that it still leaves me sick. She was nothing but a manipulating whore even to my uncle. I see you no different then my Uncle Inuyasha who fell for the cold hearted bitch. Even that part of you that was Onigumo, I loved you too! Can she say that?” Asuna asked staring at him.

“I am Naraku!” He growled.

“I know you are Naraku. Shall I go back to your extreme past my darling? Shall I prove to your ningen self that I am worthy of him? Will I always be dirty because I am youkai? Which part thinks me more impure; your ningen or youkai self? Hmmm? Come on Naraku….tell me.” She said in anger.

“Shut up!” Naraku snarled as he stepped back.

“So we are back to the old issues. I see. I have no wish to be second best for you. I am sorry that I was not who you wanted all these years. Your darkness needed a being of so called purity as I am nothing of the sort. I am a disgusting, blood sucking inu.” Asuna said in contempt.

“I said shut up!” He hissed as he grabbed her.

He slammed her against the wall so hard that it cracked a little. His kiss invaded her mouth and bruised her lips in the savage intensity. Asuna was surprised and shocked at the sheer brutality of his actions and she grunted when he trapped her with his tentacles. He breathed harshly against her neck and his breath was warm as he tried to get himself under control.

“You like to let your mouth run away my little inu. You like to control everything and everyone in your life. You are so much like ice mutt that way. My Asuna cannot shut up long enough to hear anyone out. You will shut up this time though. I will make you listen. I have not given you four centuries of my existence for nothing. Your little Jing boy thinks he will have you this way? How will anyone have you this way, hmm? You think because I have fantasies of ripping her apart and making her pay that it means I want her the same way I want you? You will be the only one to ever have my children my little inu. The seed of my bitterest enemy is the only one that will provide me my future. My silver haired goddess is the only one I will let see me like this.” He said in a harsh whisper.

Asuna could not breathe and she could only hear his voice. He had never done anything remotely like this before and she began to quake. He was using his shape shifting nature and it was blowing her mind.

“Nothing to say? You have never been afraid of me. You have never shied away from me. Even now you tremble for me. Even as my ningen self you trembled for me. I dare you to go to him and see what happens. Then keep speaking to me of her. Go ahead my beautiful little strumpet. See what we do when we have you. Say your mind inu.” He whispered in her ear.

“Please.” She whimpered out.

“You want more. You need me now? You need this lowly half breed?” He growled.

“Hai!” She moaned out.

“Say it Asuna. Say it!” Naraku growled.

“I need you.” Asuna cried.

He flung her on the bed and he appeared fully humanoid. His black hair fell around them as his hot length pressed into her. She gasped harshly as he filled her and her eyes were red. Naraku was not still and he moved with urgency. He clutched at her and would cup her breast or squeeze her backside. His growls were not contained. He was tired and angry at her assertions and he was in a way punishing her. She arched her body as he worked her over. Asuna's claws scored his back and the yoki began to become deafening. She was groaning incoherently and his nips to her throat were drawing blood.

“Koi!” He snarled in her ear.

She still could not get deep breaths and she rasped out. He was forcing a full melding on her and she was out of it. No matter what; he was so strong and so strong willed.

“Naraku! Kamis…cannot. Please cannot.” She whined.

“You will! You doubt and you throw your temper tantrums. You koi!” He said hotly against her throat.

She screamed as he snapped his fangs hard onto her juncture. His whole body shook with the ferocity of a stupendous finale and his inu princess had fainted. He dominated her completely and he had no intentions of letting her off so easily. He forced her to wake up and she groaned softly.

“Asuna.” He growled.

“Hai.” She whispered lethargically.

“Say it.” Naraku demanded.

“I love you.” Asuna gasped as he moved sharply again.

“I love you. I do not love that whore anymore.” He said making her look at him.

Her eyes seemed liquid and he gently held her jaw. He lowered his mouth and kissed her gently as he took her again but this time slowly. He caused her to shatter and splinter into a million pieces. She was lying sleeping deeply and he was beside her. His hand was on her belly as Lei popped his head in.

“You do realize that this is my bed.” He said smirking.

“Do not care.” Naraku muttered.

“My you are so pleasant.” Lei snapped.

“You share in my mate then you get my wit. Go away.” The hanyou said sleepily.

“Sorry halfling but this is my bed and as you said she belongs to me as well. How did you manage to shut her up?” The wraith said curiously.

“Exhaust her. Apparently she is better at doing that to you. Now shut up.” He said rolling to his side and going to sleep.

Lei chuckled as he settled next to her and he was amazed at the brazenness of the halfling. He felt good at the moment and he decided to have a talk with the other man in the morning.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna woke up and groaned. She had spent the last two days working out things between Lei, Yhea, and Naraku. Her hanyou was up and he was looking out at the landscape. Lei was still sleeping and Asuna stood up.

“Where is Hibari?” He asked.

“I do not know. She was pretty upset.” She said moving to him and kissing his shoulder.

“I cannot accept this. I will not accept that she is so angry.” Naraku sighed.

“Her passions runs high.” Asuna said gently.

“Hai I know.” He stated.

Her longtime mate was deep in thought and she kissed his shoulder again. He turned and gathered her in his arms and they ended up on the bed. Lei woke up and stared down at the hanyou and his wife. Naraku looked over at Lei and his mahogany eyes held something that intrigued the young Jing.

“You intend to be apart of us?” He demanded.

“Yes.” Lei said flatly.

“Then you will give me part of your power. You will give me access to your mind.” Naraku demanded.

“Excuse me?” Jing asked surprised.

“I have my ways wraith but you want this then you meet my demands. The more Shouten yoki I absorb the stronger I become against that bitch that gave birth to you and that bastard that wants our onna.” Naraku growled.

Lei stared at him and Asuna was surprised at what Naraku requested. Her Shouten mate moved closer and stared at the hanyou closely.

“How do you intend to do take in my yoki?” He demanded.

“Enter me.” He answered shortly.

“Naraku you would weaken him.” Asuna murmured.

“I would have to stay here for awhile yes.” Lei murmured.

Her Shouten mate did not think and suddenly did as the hanyou wished. Naraku shut his eyes and Asuna could feel him adjust his body. He was actually absorbing some of Lei and she watched him carefully. Naraku opened his eyes and she stared at him.

“He said he was going into the desert to hunt some hollows.” He murmured.

“He is okay?” Asuna asked.

“He is weakened.” Naraku replied.

He rolled them and made her sit astride him. He stared up at her and he was lost in memories.

“So who is it that still wishes her?” She whispered.

“Onigumo.” He whispered.

“Why are you two souls at war?” Asuna asked softly.

“I am always Naraku but sometimes I still hear his thoughts separately. He wanted you both. It was not that he did not want you. He just wanted both onna.” He admitted.

Asuna stared at his candidness and she was amazed. She blinked at him and he cupped her breasts.

“What was it about her?” She demanded.

“Does it truly matter?” Naraku asked.

“Perhaps not.” She sighed out.

“I am not a normal being my inu. I am me and I am mixed. I am dark and twisted but one that desires you wholly. I get angry with you but my passion has never waned. You showed up that day as a mere shadow and became something.” He said as he flicked her nipples over and over.

“You torture me.” Asuna groaned.

“Perhaps I do. Your little wraith demanded in the past we work out our issues. I was too proud then and now I am just too determined. I have too many years invested in you.” He smirked.

“Oh thank you!” She snapped.

“Hush now. You have always talked too much. Something your sire never had a problem with.” He smiled evilly.

Naraku had shifted her and her mouth dropped open but no sound came out. He smiled even wider as he worked her. Their bodies fell into perfect rhythm and his eyes were glued to hers. His mind was going on and on with new plans.

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

Byakuya looked over to see Hibari sleep and he was sipping tea as he read correspondence. She came here often and he was still pushing his will for her to become Tomoshibi. She had not done so yet and it truly tried his patience. He set down his cup carefully and cocked his head to the side as he gently ran a finger over her cheek. She shifted a little and he pulled back. Hibari's eyes opened and she stared up at him.

“You are up even earlier then normal.” She mumbled.

“Hai.” He nodded.

“Byakuya. You are so stoic and I am unused to that.” Hibari said sitting up.

His grey eyes wandered over her body and she stretched. She had a very faint scar from where Sanra had impaled her. His eyes were glued to her chest and she knew he was remembering it.

“Why have you not gone after her?” Byakuya asked her.

“I am not well versed in my new abilities. I would like to know more.” She replied.

“If you became Tomoshibi you could fight these Shouten much better.” He stated.

She looked away from him and then back at him. She rose and he looked at her shapely body. She had subtle stripes that she had inherited from her mother. She looked back at him and he was struck with her beauty. He was not his playful self that he was when he was her Byakuya. He was this stuff noble shinigami and she found it a tragedy.

“When did you loose your light heartedness?” She asked looking over her shoulder.

“When I saw you stabbed in the heart and I watched my wife die in this life.” He stated as he stood up from his bed.

“I see. Well I need to eat and I will not do that here.” Hibari sighed as she slipped on a simple silk yukata.

He walked up behind her and turned her around. He turned his jaw to the side and she refused to do anything.

“No. I will not use you like that.” She stated softly.

“Yet you will leave?” He asked in a low voice.

“Hai.” She whispered.

He stepped away and went to dress in his shinigami clothing. His black hair was down and he was every inch elegant and beautiful. He was in a formal grey male yukata and he looked back at her.

“I wish for your presence here.” Byakuya stated flatly.

“I am sorry. I have to go.” She said pulling her hair up and sticking pins in.

He was not one to beg and after Mizuki's actions he felt no need to beg her. She went to leave and he grabbed her arm. He whirled her around and her face held pain.

“Hibari have we both not suffered?” He asked in a neutral tone.

“Hai.” She nodded.

“Too much for one lifetime.” He murmured.

He lifted his hands to hold her cheeks and he kissed her softly. She whined softly against his mouth and she found it so hard to believe how everything had gone down. She accepted his passionate and overwhelming presence and her own hands became buried in his long silk like ebony strands, Hibari broke the embrace as bloody tears ran down her face.

“I am sorry Byakuya. I have to go.” She said phasing out to Hikari.

Her tears were falling in torrents and she could not stop them. Hikari saw her sister and grabbed her. She pulled her into a hug and her younger sister sobbed. Hikari phased them into the living plane and she just held onto as she cried. Finally Hibari pulled away and just walked on. It was not long after that Byakuya made his way into the living realm. His mission was simple and he had made his plea to the Captain General Yamamoto. He made his motives seem that finding the certain Shouten would be good for the war against Aizen. Some of the Shouten were turning against their Kazak masters and Kuchiki was an excellent represenetive of Soul Society. He knew she would hunt down hollows for convenience and he went in search of her. His mind was preoccupied and he did not notice another signature of yoki. It was a moment later and he jerked his head up when he heard yelling.

“I said do not touch me!” She screamed.

“You will listen to me know!” Naraku said in a deadly calm.

“I hate you! I want nothing to do with you.” Hibari snarled.

“Daughter you will listen to me.” He said in a cold voice.

“Oh really? Did you suffer? I hope you suffered. I hope they made you bleed and you had unbearable pain. You have no care for what you put others through! You do not even care what you do to your own children. I am just curious as to what ends we met? I have not figured it out yet.” She said getting closer to her sire.

“You will desist with your nonsense now!” He snapped.

“Really?” Hibari said getting hysterical.

Byakuya was filled with such malice and anger but he was instantly in front of his lover. Naraku was surprised and his eyes flicked over the shinigami dispassionately.

“Kuchiki?” He asked a little surprised.

“Senbonzakura scatter.” Byakuya said calmly.

Naraku's eyes widened and Hibari yelled. Kuchiki's were like cold steel as he stared at the hanyou. There was the glint in the afternoon sunlight of many sakura blossoms and Naraku was hit. The hanyou grunted in pain and stared at the Captain of Squad Six.

“Do not interfere shinigami!” He warned him.

“It is you who interfere hanyou. Your life should have been forfeit for your dishonor and murder!” Byakuya said lifting his hand.

He directed his sakura blades and Naraku was awash in them. Hibari's eyes widened in surprise as the many blades exploded outward. The hanyou was a mass of tentacles and bone as he stared at Kuchiki in fury. Hanyou stared at shinigami and Hibari stepped between them.

“Move!” Naraku growled.

“You will not harm him!” She yelled.

“One daughter was not enough? You have to fuck another?” Her sire asked in contempt.

Byakuya never lost his cool but his eyes were colder. He lifted his finger and a shot of red energy was released from his finger. It punched through Naraku and blood poured from the wound. Naraku unleashed bone spears and Hibari erected a barrier around her lover. Naraku realized he actually stood no chance against his progeny and this shinigami. Anger possessed and he knew how to get past her defenses and he was swallowed by his miasma. He appeared inside of her barrier and punched a hole into Byakuya. The Sixth Squad Captain used shunpo and directed his sakura blades and sliced into Naraku's throat. Hibari's eyes widened as she saw blood pour from her father.

“You deserved oblivion and not your detachments! They were innocent.” Byakuya said under his breath.

“Why do you care shinigami?” Naraku said as a tentacle slithered up Byakuya's leg.

“Because I watched you kill Kagura, Kana, Hakudoshi, and more. Shall I go on Master Naraku?” He said in cold fury.

Hibari produced her naginata and cut through her father's tentacle. The hanyou was fixing to grab her and Byakuya pushed her back.

“You cannot be that worthless detachment!” Naraku hissed furiously.

“I am he and more now hanyou. You should have done a better job. When you created us; you gave us souls. You were a fool.” Byakuya stated matter of factly.

Byakuya suddenly moved and appeared behind Naraku; it was not even a blink of an eye but there was a burst of blood from the hanyou's mid-section. Hibari knew Byakuya's favorite technique; Senka, and she gasped. Naraku looked down and he actually fell. One of his favorite children just stared down at him as the pool of blood began to widen around him.

“You brought this upon yourself. He was innocent of you Chichi. I loved him and you killed him. You should have let my sacrifice stand.” Hibari said in a tortured tone.

“He is unworthy of you.” Naraku said hiding his pain.

Byakuya said nothing but turned on his heel; he waited for Hibari to accompany him and she looked at her sire and then at her lover.

“Hibari.” Byakuya called.

She nodded and she just left Naraku where he lay. He watched as his former detachment used shunpo to take his baby girl away. His fury was eating him and he vowed revenge on this particular bastard.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna felt his pain and she ported to him. She was horrified at his blood loss and she had to port him to Nobu. Her healer mate took stock of his injuries and began to work on him.

“What the hell got to him?” Nobu asked.

“I do not know Nobu. I know he went in search of Hibari. Have you still not heard from Mizuki?” Asuna asked.

“No. It is not like them either. Perhaps you need to check on them Asuna. I have him.” He said.

She nodded and she ported to the Tokyo apartments. She knocked on Mizuki's door and no one answered. Asuna found it odd and she ported inside. She cried out when she found Karu on the floor along with Renshu. She called Yamasaki General and called on Shinobu who promptly ported over. He called Nanami as well and they began to work on the two young men. Asuna was in shock and Maec's words began to make sense to her.

“Mizuki was expecting Soren and Renshu's sons.” She stated aloud.

“Hai. She was due any day with them Haha.” Nanami said concerned.

“Son of bitch! That bastard took Soren and Mizuki.” She said panicking.

“We will get these awake and stable. Haha Mizuki needed medical attention. She has a hard time like you.” Shinobu said concerned.

Asuna nodded and she ported to Southern Mongolia. Lei still had not returned but she knew he was gorging himself in the deserts. She ran into Yhea's suite and he sat up from his bed. He saw her face and he stood up.

“What is wrong?” He asked nearing her.

“Naraku convinced Lei to give him some yoki and now my eldest daughter Mizuki was taken by Maec again.” She said wringing her hands.

“I do not want you going after him again. Let me take my father and we will go.” He said making her look at him.

“Yhea!” She growled.

“Asuna!” He snapped.

“She is my child.” Asuna snapped in return.

“You have my child within or do you forget? You lost twin babes only recently and now you do this again! You are like a glutton when it comes to Maec damnit. NO!” He said shaking her.

“I hate him!” She said in fury.

“What you think I like him? You will stay here or I cannot forgive you.” Yhea said stepping back.

Asuna blinked at him in surprise and her mouth dropped. His arms were crossed as he watched her.

“You will not do this to me again. I got used to the idea of having that babe.” He said flatly.

He stepped away from her and phased away. She did not move and she was speechless at him. She knew him and he would carry through.

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

Yhea decided to find Lei and try to give this alliance with his elder brother a try. He had officially dropped the tr'Awnhi name and he was now known as Yhea Jing. He was now officially a member of the Jing clan and it felt odd to him. He was searching for his idiot brother's aura and found him in the deep desert. He hated the wastelands and he looked around for any huge hollows.

“You feel any better?” Yhea called.

“Loads. What are you doing here?” Lei demanded.

“Asuna discovered that Maec took her daughter Mizuki. She was intending to go after the bastard.” He said shortly.

“Did you tell her like hell she was?” his brother said narrowing his eyes.

“Of course.” He stated.

Lei nodded and straightened himself out.

“Well are we going or not?” He asked him.

“Are we really not going to fight?” Yhea asked him.

“I have no intentions of it. I also have no intentions of being driven out of her life. Not by you or anyone.” Lei stated crossing his arms.

“Well I do not either.” Yhea said stubbornly.

“So we deal with it. Come on.” He commanded.

Lei phased first and he truly was itching to deal with Maec. Yhea was right behind him in Balkhash as they searched out the aura of Mizuki and Soren. They knew they had little time before they were found out and it was not long before Maec himself came. He was surprised to see Lei Jing and Yhea.

“So you are well. Too bad I will have to try and kill you again.” Maec sneered.

“Sorry not this time old man.” Yhea smirked.

“Asuna is most put out that you have her daughter and truly would like her back.” Lei said evenly.

“Boy did I not teach you the last time we met?” He asked arrogantly.

“Oh well perhaps you tried.” Lei stated stalking forward.

Yhea was surprised at Lei's boldness but he realized he should not be. This was the same man that had frozen his male parts. Lei morphed his own limb and came at Maec fast and hard. Yhea had to admit he was good and Yhea lifted his hand to release his kemuri. He was thrown backwards by an ungodly amount of power. The kemuri was thrown but it was as if in a whirlwind. Lei ducked and snarled in annoyance at his brother.

“Watch where you throw that stuff!” He yelled.

Maec was startled by the strength of the younger man's abilities and it seemed so was Yhea. Lei ducked and dodged Maec's own shoki and plunged his morphed limb into his belly. The Shouten ruler slashed Lei across his neck and shoulder and he hissed in pain. Yhea phased out and appeared behind him and Maec had to whirl around in a wide arc to smash him into a wall. Lei took the opportunity to shove his own claws into Maec's back to release his little used kemuri.

“You bastard!” Maec growled.

“That is right! Whine bitch!” Lei chuckled.

“You will think whine!” The tr'Awnhi ruler stated smacking Lei in his nose and blood erupted everywhere.

Yhea took the opportunity to let his shoki flow and Lei's eyes widened in complete shock as a weapon appeared. The younger brother shoved the blade into Maec's gut and they both stepped back. Maec fell to his knees and he could swear he felt her poison.

“What did you do?” He asked in a strained whisper.

“Gave you payback bastard.” Yhea snapped.

Lei and Yhea ran to search for Mizuki and Soren. They had to fight their way through other wraiths and Lei looked at his brother.

“What the hell was that back there?” He asked.

“Not a clue.” He stated surprised himself.

They found Soren first and the young halfling Shouten ran to the door of his rooms. He saw Lei and Yhea and he looked surprised.

“I cannot leave.” He said frightened.

“Why not?” Yhea hissed.

“Because he has taken my son and Renshu's son. I have no idea where they are. If I leave he said he would kill them.” Soren stated.

“Fucking tr'Awnhi baby killers.” Lei growled.

“Mizuki is here and he plans on turning her. Get her gone! Please. Tell Renshu and Karu I stay for the boys. Beg them to forgive me.” He said softly.

Lei looked around and he sensed the halfling daughter. He phased to her and she did not look well. Yhea came in and they both phased out. Lei laid Mizuki on a gurney and doctors surrounded her immediately. The elder Jing brother looked at the younger and he was eyeing him.

“What did you and Asuna do?” He demanded.

“We reversed Maec's spell.” Yhea replied.

“Well damn. It had some unusual side affects.” Lei snorted.

“I guess so. I have no clue what we did.” He said surprised.

“Well whatever you did figure it out and see what else you can do. You have some of her powers!” His brother stated almost excited.

“How odd.” Yhea said frowning.

“Have you noticed she can port straight in and out of our plane?” Lei asked.

“Not really. I have not been paying attention. I have been avoiding you.” He answered honestly.

“We should ask Father about this.” He said as he nodded.

Lei phased first back to the in between in Southern Mongolia and Yhea stared at his hands. He truly had no clue what the hell he had done and it truly had felt weird and natural at the same time. He phased as well so he could ask their father what it might all mean.
