Web of Deceit and Falling Under

Ryunosuke was in Shenyang and he had settled his affairs in this era. His brother tried to talk him out of his decision but he had said quietly no. He was in a temple on the grounds of the Manchu lord and he was saying his prayers like he should have been doing. His forehead was on the ground and he actually shed a couple of tears for his lost mate. He had wept in complete silence and only in private but he had done it. The dragon houshi sat up and he saw Hibari in the corner of his eye. He turned and she was just watching him. Her silver hair was down and she wore only a white night gown.

“Why are you here?” He asked hoarsely.

“I cannot let you leave me.” Hibari whispered.

“Onna. I love you. Let us leave it with good memories, okay?” Ryunosuke asked awash in painful feelings.

“Ryunosuke, I love you.” She said nearing him.

“Stop! I am done.” He said rising from his knees.

Hibari was instantly behind him and she grabbed both of his hands. She pressed them to her belly and he stared at her face.

“Do not leave me or your child.” Hibari stated with conviction.

“What?” He asked stunned.

“Do not leave us. I am getting my senses back Ryu. I am getting my feelings back. I am becoming who I was before the Boxer Rebellion.” She stated guiding his hands to cup her breasts.

“What do you mean?” He asked confused.

“Before I lost my first mate Kenim. I was a warrior. I was a proud warrior and I liked it. I have that same fire back and I am going to take back my life. I will not loose you because of those fucking Shouten nor will I loose you to some damned scaly assed bastard.” She said walking him towards a wall.

“Hibari let us be sensible…” Ryunosuke tried to say.

She kissed him and it was downright scandalous what she did with her tongue. He gasped as she began to make him loose his rational mind right there. His hazel eyes had bled red and his beast was raging badly as she ravished him.

“Not in a temple onna.” He groaned out as she undid his khaki pants.

“Then it shall be as I worship you.” She said wickedly.

“Blasphemy.” He groaned.

“Hai. I know how you dragons are Ryunosuke. Your son or daughter is in my belly. Part of you is with me and you cannot change that.” She whispered feverishly.

She used her claws to scrape his scales on his hips and his breathing was labored. Hibari had dropped the bomb that not only was he going to be a father but she was going to unite with him in a temple no less.

“I admire you more then I can say. I know I am impure but when you are in me; I feel what I know is heaven.” She said nipping his ear harshly as she worked his male flesh.

“Hibari!” Ryunosuke cried out as she stroked his cock with urgent movements.

“My beautiful dragon prince. Forgive me, I beg you. I want your son.” Hibari said taking in deep breaths.

“Oh Kamis! Hibari, I am…mate…please.” He groaned out jerking his head to the side hissing and begging as he neared his end.

All breath left him as she fell to her knees in front of him and she slid him within her mouth. He began to thrust against his senses and the pleasure of her mouth was making him completely weak. She guided his hand to her hair and she was having him dominate her. It was against his nature as a holy man but she was guiding his beast. His whole body bowed towards her perfect mouth as he roared out. Hibari moaned around him and he groaned out as it felt so good. She carefully pulled him out and she stared at his handsome face.

“Will you fill me as we combine what we are?” She asked meeting his reddish eyes.

“Hai.” He whispered out.

As she crawled to him; her clothes faded away. He was in awe a she settled in his lap and he wrapped his hand around the back of her neck. Ryunosuke was lost in the primitively beautiful encounter. His mate was receiving his kisses as she moved on him. He could not describe the joy he felt as she rotated her hips on him and his stiff male flesh was encased in her flooded heat. She buried her hand in his hair and she jerked on his hard. He moaned as Hibari pressed her bare chest to his and Ryunosuke was making noises. He crushed her in his arms as he helped guide her harder and harder. Hibari's cries reached his ears and Ryunosuke groaned harder as he leaned her back and they moved against the other perfectly. His whole body was rocked when he shuddered and spasmed. Hibari had already reached her pinnacle and she was moaning softly underneath him.

“Hibari.” He whispered as he regained his speech.

“Hai.” She said softly.

“Truly we have a child on the way?” Ryunosuke asked.

“Hai. I would not lie about that. I also would not beget myself just to keep you. I am hoping you want us both enough to try and let us work out my issues.” She said staring at his face.

“Okay.” He said stunned with himself.

“I never meant to hurt you. It was never my intention to harm you.” Hibari said deeply saddened.

“I know. I just want you to come to me and tell me honestly. You sometimes act because I was a houshi that I was some being made of glass but I am not. I am a man and I love you.” Ryunosuke stated.

“I have never met a more honorable or good man. Look who I came from.” She sighed.

“Look who my grandsire was and what he did. You are not your father anymore then I am Mizuchi or my own father.” He said softly.

“I know my darling.” She whispered running her hand through his white hair.

“Could I meet this Byakuya?” The dragon prince asked.

“Why do you wish to?” She asked.

“Because Hibari. If I am to work out this and deal with this then I must deal with him. If I am to change my life then allow me the right to adjust my feelings and my ways.” He pleaded.

She nodded and she watched his face as he pulled back from her. He was mortified at himself for having rutted in a temple but it was a beautiful thing to be with the love of his life. He did not know how he was going to adjust to this new life but he intended to try.

Mas was in pain and he had been humiliated by the woman he had turned at his father's behest. He was shocked that she was so brutal and it honestly made him curious about her. His intelligence on her had stated that she had simply owned a tavern in the corporeal world and it had not stated that she was a mighty warrior. The Sahen healer had to perform surgery to repair the damage done and it had been bad. He had a scar on his inner thigh from the shoki infused slash. His father was gone and his older brother was in a death sleep. Things were a mess yet again and some members of his family had gone nuts in his opinion. No one really asked him anything and he sometimes resented it. He read the reports on Matsuda Hibari and not enough was known on her. Her sister Iyo had been well known in the mortal world as a lawyer and had been beloved but his sort of progeny had been quiet. It was rumored she had been the lover of none other then Arturo Plateado himself and she had given the half Shouten Arrancar a child but no one had seen said child. Mas was intrigued beyond belief and he decided he would delve into her past. He went in search of his nephew Soren who he found with his own child.

“What do you know of the woman known as Hibari?” Mas demanded.

“I know much. She is the younger sister of my wife.” Soren stated flatly.

“Spill it nephew.” Mas said sitting.

“What do you want to know? I would leave her the hell alone.” The halfling sneered.

“She tore me up Soren. I should like to know more about the bitch when I face her next.” Mas snapped.

“She was the youngest of the halfling daughters born during the Sengoku Jidai. She has her mother's looks with her sire's eyes. She has unusual blending of their powers as well. It is said in the family that she was trained in the Western house as a small child and she used to fight alongside her mother against us. She was mated to a mortal in the late nineteenth century. His name was Nishimura Kenim but he was killed when the Japanese went to war against the Russians.” Soren explained.

“She mated a mortal? How disgusting!” He said curling his lip.

“Whatever! Her mate was killed by the Russians and she herself almost died. She had been pregnant with his child and from that point she gave up fighting and she did not have a family either.” Soren shrugged.

“So my little project was a mighty little woman and she became a recluse.” Mas said in understanding.

“Basically yes. Our family has done naught but be a pain to their family for centuries.” His nephew hissed in anger.

“Shut up Soren. You may be half human but you are Thei's son. You should never have betrayed your own for HER.” His uncle said in anger.

“I was turned out by Uncle Raganos if you remember and for what? Leave me and my sons alone.” Soren stated with anger.

“This Renshu must be bad off not to come for his son.” His uncle said smirking.

“You know he is your brother too. Great Aunt Sanra was a disgusting whore and your own father an incestuous louse.” He said scoffing.

“I know nothing and I shall know nothing.” Mas stated standing and leaving.

He phased into the living plane and he intended to find her. He would face her again and make her answer his questions. He could find her easily enough having made her and Mas appeared in an opulent apartment and she was packing things away. She stiffened and she whirled around with fury on her face. She was in front of him so quickly that it caused him to step back.

“You have nerve to show up here. I apparently did not injure you enough.” Hibari stated as she grabbed his crotch and twisted.

He howled in agony and he shoved her off of him.

“You bitch!” He yelled.

“You should talk. You turned me into this creature. Now Mas go ahead and speak.” She smirked.

“You are a nasty piece of work.” Mas said growling.

“Thank you. I appreciate that considering what you all did. I use to fight the Shouten out of duty and now I do it as a pleasure!” She said smirking.

“You are Shouten now.” He said in disbelief.

“Hai and thank you for that. You augmented my already powerful abilities you son of a bitch. I hope you rot in hell you stupid bastard.” Hibari said throwing a glass object at him.

Her aim was dead on and Mas was hit squarely in the eye. He was shocked at himself to realize that he found her pleasing. He also found himself wishing to his Gods that he knew her better.

“I only did as my king and father requested. I did not harm you.” He pointed out.

“Your king is a sick bastard and you apparently have no kind of balls to speak of.” She said going back to her cleaning.

“You were dead anyway! You were given a second chance at a life.” Mas seethed.

“After Aunt Sanra got into a jealous snit. I hate that whore you know. I am going to keep going after her but you know my Haha hates her too. So it is just a matter of time before one of us tears her ass up. I hope it is me because I have a worse temper then my mother.” She said with narrowed eyes.

“You do have a nasty temper.” He replied.

“Get out of my home.” Hibari yelled.

The yelling brought in Ryunosuke and he stared at the Shouten in surprise. Mas blinked at the pale eyes of the dragon and the former houshi stared into the blackest eyes he had ever seen.

“Why are you here?” He asked Mas.

“I was speaking with the woman lizard.” Mas said in severe contempt.

Hibari lost her temper yet again and Ryunosuke had to hold her back from doing the Shouten harm. She was a simmering mess and their relationship was back on track but she was more volatile then he had ever seen her.

“I did not mean you harm. You on the other hand are wrecking havoc and eventually my father will order someone to stop you. I ask you to stop being an asinine bitch.” He said in a low voice.

“Oh really?” Hibari asked as a nasty smile curved her lips.

She jerked her hand away from Ryunosuke and she threw a ball of energy at Mas. It hit him in the chest and he went down. It had been a low voltage energy ball and he was shaking from the high current.

“Like I said Shouten. Rot in hell. Thanks for the power boost.” She growled.

She grabbed her mate's hand and she phased them away. Mas was in agony again and he could not think clearly. This particular child of the succubus hybrid was trouble and Sanra had made a mistake in killing her. His father had made a mistake in having her turned Shouten. He phased himself back to Balkhash and the new healer to one more time be saved from the likes of Hibari.

Asuna rolled over and he was still sleeping next to her. She was tired and exhausted as this babe whatever it was, was taking much out of her. Maec sensed her eyes on him and he woke up. He automatically rolled over and he cut his neck and guided her mouth to drink. She protested but stopped immediately when she tasted his red life force.

“Your mother is uppyr and you deny yourself blood. It is not natural for you to do so. I understand your corporeal need for solid food but you also need to feed your blood cravings as well. You do not even realize that is what it is you need.” He murmured as she fed.

She pulled back and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. Asuna had a hard time admitting that she indeed did need the actual blood of another being.

“I do not understand your need to castigate yourself my darling. I also do not understand your need to deny yourself basic needs.” Maec stated in a low growl.

“I am inu.” She protested.

“No. You are half canine and half uppyr. You are exactly the way you are supposed to be. You are half blood drinker and it is a powerful daemon blood Asuna. Uppyr and wraith blood dominates any and all other daemon energies.” He explained.

“I do not like this!” Asuna said getting up.

“Do not like it but it is what my child needs. It needs its mother to take in blood for its survival.” Maec stated growling loudly.

“I did not wish to be pregnant so soon after the loss of my inu heir, okay?” She asked in anger.

“Do not think this will be your last child my dear. You will have mounds of puppies I am sure.” He said rolling his eyes.

“You are an ass.” She said getting angry.

“Yes. You have pointed that out. I do so enjoy your lovely observations but I am hungry and I shall hunt.” He said standing.

He was nude and he caught her staring at his body in hunger. He smirked at her and he realized he had awakened her succubus lusts. He neared her and nuzzled against her ear and she gasped.

“You enjoy what I do to you.” Maec taunted playfully.

“Hai.” She groaned.

“Tell me your thoughts.” He commanded.

“I hate your ways but I crave you.” She said suddenly grasping his backside.

“Do you my little darling? Because I love you craving me. I want you to need me.” Maec stated suppressing his own groans.

She hated herself a little and he sensed that too. It made him giddy and he kissed her until she swooned. He finally phased away and he went to hunt on the corporeal plane. He never cared if he killed. It never bothered him in the least. What he did not expect was to find the very real and very angry version of his current lover standing near him in the shadows.

“What have you done?” She growled with red eyes.

“You found me.” He said surprised.

“Why are you here Maec? What brings you to this time?” Asuna demanded.

“My own business. I was fixing to eat, did you intend to be my meal?” Maec asked smirking.

The elder Asuna rushed him and he grappled her to the ground. He was avoiding her nasty claws and she was being slammed harshly into the ground.

“Do not make me harm you. I do not wish to do so but damn it; I will!” He snarled with his hands around her throat.

“What did you do? I know you did something!” Asuna raged as she grasped his forearms.

“I told you, my business.” Maec laughed loudly.

She suddenly kicked him in his groin and his face filled with pain and he fell against her. His actions surprised her and he kissed her passionately. She hated herself as she responded to it.

“I hate you.” She gasped as he went to devouring her neck.

“I hate you too. Is that our version of a passionate declaration?” He asked amused.

“Kamis hai.” Asuna snapped as she jerked his head down and kissed him harder.

“I am going to take you.” He declared.

She struggled harshly but it ended in vain when he phased their clothes. Her responses continued to surprise him and this older version of her was more experienced and not shy with her desires. She ended up slamming him onto his back and he moaned out as she began to bite into him harshly. It was not gentle at all as she freely took in his blood.

“I love this.” He hissed out.

“You enjoy pain?” She growled.

“There is no pain in a succubus bite unless you choose it to be so. You are making it quite wonderful.” He said putting his hands under his head.

“I could make you suffer.” Asuna threatened.

“Then why do you not?” Maec asked.

“You bastard. What have you done to me?” She snarled out as she leaned down and he felt her fangs enter near his groin.

His eyes widened and ungodly pleasures wracked him. He was straining so hard that he knew his body would ache.

“Fuck me!” He begged.

“No. Watch.” She said in a hateful tone.

His whitening eyes looked down and his manhood was throbbing with need. She was no longer touching him physically and the ruler of the Shouten was at her mercy. He withered on the ground and arched as she applied her strong telekinesis.

“Give me your heat!” He demanded.

“You wish for heat?” She asked raising a brow.

Maec bowed his body hard and he was encased in scorching heat that was totally mental. His face was contorting as she caused so many sensations. He was gasping in deep breaths and he could barely see her face. She leaned over him and cut her wrist and Maec took the blood greedily. She found the sight of Maec helpless and on display to be quite erotic as she refused him to finish. He was trying to fight her mental hold and he was ready to snarl in frustration.

“Let me go.” He rasped.

“Let you go? Tell me what you have done.” She glared.

“What makes you think I have done anything?” Maec said in a nasty tone.

“Because I actually find you barely tolerable in this way.” Asuna retorted.

“Well my darling I cannot help if you finally quit being a sheltered nun when faced with passion.” He said with a nasty smirk.

“So funny Maec. I am not the one whose dick is purple.” She said with a rather glaring look.

“No. I am not a wretched bitch.” He replied.

She leaned down again and barely touched his manhood with her tongue then blew hard on his slick flesh. He groaned more as she made it worse.

“Sana tells me how much as a child that Isha loved Kaimei.” Asuna replied in a low voice.

The mention of Hasegawa Kaimei made Maec's face turn wrathful. He twisted on the ground fighting her hold more. She grasped his erection again and slowly began to pump him.

“Hai she told me how Kaimei used to calm down as an infant when Isha was near. That is why Zhang and Sana betrothed them. It was quite shocking to find out that Zhang and Shan Lao were brothers.” She said matter of factly.

“I did not realize you were stupid.” He hissed out.

“So funny Maec. Sana says you deserve all oblivion for having destroyed the Tomoshibi. Truly you did not destroy the Tomoshibi because they were different from the Shouten. Your own feelings for Sana speak different. You waged war because they defied you. You decimated them not because of differences but because they wished to be separate. It was not you who drove them away; it was them who left. They are powerful beings in their own right and they refused to follow you.” She said watching him.

“They are wraiths!” He hissed.

“It was genocide because it was pure civil war. The Tomoshibi are just evolutionary Shouten. There are still many Shouten born who show both tendencies. You even produced one; that fucking whore Sindari.” Asuna said nearing his mouth with hers.

“Yes. So what? She knew where her loyalties should lie.” He said trying to breathe.

“You had needed to hunt did you not? Well it is me who shall feed so to speak Maec. You are not more powerful then I am anymore. I am truly on par with you now.” She said slowly beginning to kiss along his neck.

Asuna moved and she straddled him. She took him in her and he groaned underneath her as she took from him. She was lost in the moment and he grabbed her hips to find a harder rhythm. He was desperate and he did not do desperate well. His face filled with more need as the coupling was brutal and way too intense. Maec became seized up. Asuna watched in fascination as she rode out her own ending and this powerful male became drained.

“You call me evil.” He said breathlessly.

“Making you suffer is not evil; it is justice.” She said getting off of him.

“Do not become complacent my darling. I can and will take you down and when I do it will be glorious.” Maec said rolling to his side and getting up.

She watched him and she was ready to move on him again. He did feel weak and the strumpet had fed from him again. He was not sure how he felt about it and she had bigger balls then he did. She was behind him and her claws were at his throat. He did not move and he could not help being bothered.

“Do not think I will share my mind my luscious enemy. I have no intentions of tipping my hand.” Maec replied in a low growl.

“You took something from me and I will find out what it is. I will stay here and find you in Hueco Mundo. I will hunt you down.” Asuna said fiercely.

“Really? I stole something from you.” He repeated.

“Hai.” She growled.

“Pray what did I steal my arch nemesis?” Maec asked in a grin.

“That is what I shall find out you bastard.” Asuna snarled.

She shoved him away and she grabbed her clothes. His head was cocked to the side and he watched her backside. She looked back at him and hissed. She threw Dakkasou at him and he had to avoid it.

“Why do you keep allowing these pleasant diversions?” He asked laughing.

She dressed with haste and she was on him again. Her hand was on his throat and she stared down at him.

“I suppose I shall tell you. I will still kill you. I will be the one to take your life and not Kaimei but it will be me to save you.” She said in a nasty tone.

“Oh really? Truly? Save me from what?” He asked laughing.

“Yourself you stupid fool.” Asuna said in a furious whisper.

“I need saving? You are a riot. You are under the delusion that I need saving?” Maec laughed hysterically.

“Your sins are too numerous. No one can accept anything but your death to atone for your sins.” She said clenching her teeth.

“So you allow yourself to what?” He purred.

“This has become about us both now. It has become about our paths.” She said in a harsh way.

“So you admit there is something.” Maec stated mesmerized.

“You changed it and you intended to.” Asuna clutched at him.

“I only assuaged my curiosity about you Isha. I only went back to gather information. If you are intrigued then that is on you.” He whispered.

“Why are you this way? How can you profess these emotions and then do what you do?” She demanded in anger.

“Because I am Shouten and so were you. You live your life by corporeal rules and it is disgusting.” He sneered.

“Even your own people are coming to hate you!” She snarled.

“Maybe that is what you would have grown into Isha. Maybe you would have always been my nemesis. Maybe I would have had to kill you anyway. The Sahen allowed women too much freedom.” He snorted.

“That is it. You feel it is your right as Shouten royalty to impose your will no matter what?” Asuna asked.

“It is my right. I took the throne from my own father. I had him put to death and I assumed the role. I assure you that I am much better at leading a group of blood thirsty people then he was.” Maec said in a sneer.

“You killed your own father?” She asked astonished.

“His policies would have doomed us. I have no shame in what I did. You think me evil.” He said in a distant tone.

“He was worse then you?” She asked unable to hold back her curiosity.

“Shall I tell you some of my history Asuna? Would you actually listen?” He asked doubtfully.

“I want to understand you stupid, demented ass.” Asuna snorted.

“You love that halfling so ardently and I am no different my darling, I assure you. What he did you forgave but I am the way I am and you judge me.” Maec stated jerking away from her.

“Naraku changed enough Maec. He is a good father.” She yelled.

“I am not? I have my favorites but I assure my children were always well cared for. You think I allowed them to see what you refer to as my depravity?” He scoffed.

“I only know Hanaj. You professed a fondness for him.” She stated crossing her arms.

“Hanaj was my son. His cradle was by my bed and my second wife accused me of stealing him away. He was my favorite child and yes, I love him. How I love is not your business but I am still his king and he is still my subject.” Maec stated with finality.

“You do not get that he has come to hate you!” She snarled.

“Because he sees me as taking what belongs to him but you do not belong to him. You are mine.” He said getting in her face.

“So says you?” Asuna said raising her fist.

“So says your powers and mine girl. So says our Gods who had yet to create my perfect mate. Wives are one thing but bound mates are another. Hairana and Naria were good women to provide my lineage heirs. You were designed for me!” He stated.

“But why do you wish a child from me?” She demanded.

“Two reasons. First it would tie me to you in such an intimate way do you not think and two; I have access to your powers through a child.” He smirked.

“You would kill a child to steal its yoki?” She asked horrified.

“I do not require the life of a daemon to copy their abilities stupid girl. Your halfling and I are similar in some respects in that I have my ways.” He smiled widely.

“Well I tell you now that I know why you wish a child; there is no chance in the seven hells that I will allow that to happen.” Asuna stated ready to be sick.

“I knew you would break your word but no matter. I will get what I want eventually. I always do. I so love when you are angry.” He laughed as he phased away.

She stood there and she was still no closer to understanding why he was here and why she felt a though she was missing something.

Asuna needed allies and she was confused as to where she should look. One name kept popping in her head and she decided to find Tekeshi in this era. She had no clue where he had taken Hana and why he had taken her away but she intended to find out. She ported to Shenyang and masked herself heavily to avoid Katashi. Her other mates were put on hold at the moment because Maec was directly involving himself into her life and she had to stop him. She observed her first mate for a little while and quashed her old anguish and her stupidity. She sighed and she ported to Shanghai. Tekeshi always moved back and forth between Qinghai and Shanghai. She appeared in the woods outside of her old palace and she slipped inside quietly. She lifted her nose and she was happy to scent him. Asuna moved quickly and appeared in her old study and she saw Lord Tekeshi sitting at the desk. She saw Hana as well and she made a noise.

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

“Aijou?” He asked stunned.

“Answer my question you deceitful dog!” She yelled.

Hana blinked at her mother and held out her hands.

“We were in danger. I thought you would understand. I had no intentions of lying but Amedeo got taken and what was I supposed to do? I was not loosing her again.” Tekeshi said softly.

Her jaw dropped and her black haired inu mate had done what he did best; he had blended with history. Hana was playing with her mother's hair and she stared at him.

“How long have you been gone?” She asked him.

“Only a couple of weeks.” He said confused.

“No Tekeshi. You have been gone almost a year.” Asuna said sitting.

“What?” He asked stunned.

“Hai. You have been gone awhile. Hello my sweet flower. How is my angel? Do you miss Justinus?” She asked.

“Hai.” She said in a sweet voice.

“She misses her twin! Kamis Tekeshi things have gone down and I have needed you there!” She said frowning.

“Aijou, I am so sorry. I was only protecting Hana. I was knocked out and Amedeo protected Hana and Justinus. I saw them take the boy but Hana burned the hell out of several wraiths and she purified another.” Tekeshi said with pride.

“You did all that?” Asuna asked her inu daughter.

Hana nodded with a serious expression and snuggled deeper into her mother.

“They bad. They hurt Hana and hurt Chichi and hurt Justin.” She said curling her fingers around Asuna's silver hair.

“She is going to be strong Aijou. She is going to be strong and I could not be prouder. Now tell me what is going on.” He said.

“Maec and I have been coming to blows and I think he did something to me in this era.” She stated softly.

“The wraith ruler? What do you mean?” He asked watching her.

“I mean he and I have been getting up and personal lately. I have determined that I will cleanse his soul somehow but I know he has done something or taken something from me.” Asuna explained.

“Have you developed feelings for that creature?” Tekeshi asked astonished.

“I do not know. I still hate him with a passion but I know I feel something else.” She admitted.

“Damn Aijou. Your heart is too into your battles.” He admonished.

“This coming from you?” She asked.

“I was aware of the legends and I became aware of your needs early on. I am sorry I did not explain but you were still so young. If you needed lovers then who better to choose then me?” He asked honestly.

“Hana go to the nursery.” She commanded.

Hana nodded and she slipped down and ran off.

“You mean to tell me that you knew who Hwan had been and you knew Chang and me?” She demanded.

“Hai. Sheng was a surprise but the other two. I knew and I did not let them go. They are good men and they were good boys. I knew who Hwan was early on because he used to have dreams in his sleep. He spoke Egyptian and so did you. I figured out your soul and your life revolved around certain people.” He shrugged.

“You found Hwan by accident?” Asuna demanded.

“Or I found him according to the Kamis will. Take your pick. I am not ashamed Aijou. I knew what you were the second I met your mother. I knew when you started hanging out with the Egyptian inu. I am not stupid. I have lived long enough.” He snorted.

“Then why not tell me? Kamis damn it why am I the last to know all about myself?” She snarled.

“Because you were not ready to hear it. You were young and determined to be inu. I was trying to break you into it. I died before I got the chance. I am sorry.” Tekeshi stated bowing his head.

“You good hearted son of a whore! You took liberties that were not yours to take.” She hissed.

“I did what I thought was right. Forgive me for that. When have I ever been jealous? Except for Shezmu and he was butting in on the birth of my baby girl.” He pointed out.

“I feel like a whore!” Asuna said ashamed.

“You are not. Deal with your nature Aijou but do not sit here and tell me that you can act like an inu bitch. It cannot happen. Besides, I like you much better as yourself. When you were Sorami you were the sweetest thing but you were inu. You acted inu and your soul was not. I prefer you as you are now.” Tekeshi shrugged.

“Why not tell me how you really feel? Was I really that simpering of an idiot when I was her?” Asuna demanded.

“You were softer. You were an inu princess and acted it. You had some spunk but not enough. Now our little sake contest STILL makes me hot and bothered.” He said smiling.

His green eyes lit up and she blushed. He chuckled and he stood up as he neared her. He pulled her up and tilted her head back.

“By the Kamis you only get more beautiful.” He stated as he buried his hands in her silver hair and kissed her passionately.

She whimpered against his mouth and she still could not believe his audacity but then he was always something. Tekeshi was not still as he hotly placed kisses along her jaw and throat.

“I need you. I have been so worried.” He stated.

She groaned as he ported them to the futon that was eventually hers and they fell upon it. He removed her hanfu slowly and he was growling softly as he softly kissed her sternum and each breast. Her eyes blinked and they had turned red. He knew how to touch her and he knew how to make her nearly scream. The conflagration was slow and consuming as he kissed his way down her belly and each leg as Tekeshi made sure to fuel her passions. The old Northern lord undid his hakama and haori as she watched; he could see the absolute want on her face and it made him crazy. He lay against her and she whimpered out as he very slowly entered her.

“Aijou Kamis!” He whined.

Asuna could not think as he moved only his hips and held her against him tightly. Her body was responding suddenly and fiercely but he continued to move.

“Tekeshi!” She screamed out.

She snapped her fangs into his juncture and his green eyes widened tremendously. He cried out in their native tongue as the purity and release was dragged from him. He was rasping to get breath and she was in bliss herself. Asuna languidly moved her head and she hissed when she saw him.

“Tekeshi!” She said in snarl.

Her inu mate moved and she dove for a yukata but Maec went to go after the old Manchu lord. Tekeshi rolled and pressed his hands to Maec who yelled the wraith shriek. His eyes looked at her and he was furious. She could tell he was eaten with hatred and jealousy but Tekeshi had used his inu blue plasma and his purity. Maec staggered back and he stared at her in fury.

“You bitch!” He snapped.

“Here!” She said throwing Dakkasou at him that he barely moved in time.

Maec had to phase out and Tekeshi's eyes were wide.

“What did you sense?” She demanded.

“He is in love with you. He is in love with you but he does not want to be. He wants to hate you totally but he does not. He also really does not like me at the moment.” Tekeshi stated.

“Bastard!” Asuna growled as she put on her yukata.

“So that is the wraith ruler. He is power Aijou.” He said.

“I know Tekeshi. Damnit. I know!” She growled.

She stared at the spot Maec had been in and she wondered how the bastard had found her so easily. She knew he had only done half a binding but she was able to block that easily enough. Something else much bigger was afoot and she was glad Tekeshi was here because if anyone could help her figure out information; it was Tekeshi.

Hibari had asked Byakuya to come into the living plane and he had obliged her. She was contemplating her life and she decided she was going to take it back totally. She had asked Nanami to look into what it would take to keep her corporeal and she was in her bar cleaning up. She had killed a Shouten for her evening meal and made sure to deliver the body to Balkhash with a nasty note for Sanra. It had simply stated, watch out. Hibari was happy and she watched Byakuya sip on tea and Ryunosuke was sipping his own hot tea. Both of the men she loved and adored were good and she was so very, very bad in her opinion. She had begun to believe her father about Sanra but she had not broached the subject with Kuchiki yet. Mizuki was still recovering from her difficult birth and she was a mess. Hibari had plans there too but she would wait.

“Hey sweetheart!” The boar youkai named Kanda said from down the bar.

“Hey old man!” She said waving.

He smiled at her and tipped his sake back. Hibari smiled and she walked along her bar. She was happy at the moment and she saw Byakuya nodding to Ryunosuke and she walked over. Her dragon mate looked up and smiled and Byakuya reached for her hand. She realized that they were friendly and she sighed in happiness. Ryunosuke knew about the Sixth Division's baby but he did not yet. She wanted to surprise him and he seemed serene.

“I must return to Soul Society. It is an honor Prince Ryunosuke.” Byakuya said formally.

“Thank you Captain Kuchiki. I hope that we may be friends.” He said with a bowed head.

“I do not see issue. Goodbye for now Miss Matsuda.” He said with passion simmering in his grey eyes.

“Hai Captain Kuchiki.” She said bowing and she winked at him.

Byakuya left the tavern and she slipped inside him. He palmed her cheek and she smiled at him.

“You look happy again.” He said softly.

“I am. I did not realize how much I wanted our own child. We have enjoyed Reia so much but I am so thrilled to be able to give you a son.” She said smiling.

“A son?” Ryunosuke asked surprised.

“Hai. Nanami confirmed it today. I am giving you a son.” She said kissing him softly.

“A son.” He whispered.

“Hai a son.” Hibari murmured nuzzling his neck.

“I am speechless. I am so happy.” He said pressing his forehead to hers.

“Byakuya will have a daughter. I have no idea how to tell him.” She smiled.

“I think you need to go to him and just surprise him tonight. He is a good and honorable man. He is conflicted I can tell. He tries so hard to follow what he believes is right and his hatred of your sire is tearing him up. I think if you give him something to focus on besides that hatred.” He said brushing his thumb across her lip.

“Are you okay?” Hibari asked in a hoarse tone.

“I am okay. I talked with my father. I am more then okay.” He whispered as he kissed her passionately.

The room was quiet and Hibari chuckled against his lips. He pulled back and smiled at her.

“Go tell him. Go surprise him.” He encouraged.

She nodded and she phased out. Ryunosuke had taken up helping her with managing the tavern and he sighed in happiness.

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

Hibari went to Hikari who got her in and she appeared at the Sixth Division offices and she knocked on the door. He called enter and she slipped in. He looked a little surprised and he crossed his hands in his lap.

“Hello Hibari.” He said cocking his head to the side.

“I have to tell you something.” She smiled.

“Did you kill another Shouten?” Byakuya asked with a dead pan face.

His humor was always there but he covered it up with seriousness. When his own lieutenant was unavailable; he attended the lieutenants' meetings and it was rumored he attended his adopted sister's women meetings. Hibari came and sat next to him and he looked at her.

“Byakuya, I did not tell you sooner because I wanted to surprise you but Nanami confirmed today that I am giving you a daughter.” She said softly.

The shinigami's eyes blinked and he was trying to fathom what she had just said. He said nothing and she looked at him deeply in the face.

“Hello?” She asked chuckling.

“Pardon. Did you say you are with child?” He asked surprised.

“Hai. I am giving you a daughter and I should like to name her Hisana.” Hibari said taking hands.

His mind was blank and he suddenly pulled her forward and kissed her passionately. She worked his haori open and it was not long before they were both unclothed and making love slowly. Byakuya was in shock but it was good shock. He ordinarily would have taken their intimate activities back to his estate but at this moment he only wished to be close to her. His hand caressed her belly lovingly and she was sated and thrilled. He lay beside her as she stared at his ceiling.

“You are happy?” She asked.

“I am happy. Thank you for her name.” Byakuya stated in an unemotional tone.

“She was a good onna and she deserves any honor. I should like a bath and I find myself hungry again.” She said yawning.

“You may feed from me.” He said leaning over her.

“Maybe a little but I have made it my mission to use Shouten as my sustenance. They tried to destroy my life so I will make their lives hell.” She smirked.

He nodded in understanding and she phased them to his bedroom at Kuchiki Estate. They bathed together and he was soon asleep. She had fed only a little from him and she was up again. She was in Hueco Mundo and she was hunting Shouten. Hibari found herself hating them so much that she did not care how cruel she was. She realized she was being followed and she phased in and out really fast and slammed Mas into a tree. Hibari was strangling him and he was fighting to break her hold. He had no clue when he turned her that he had made such a powerful reborn. He actually had to break her fingers to get her hold off of his throat and she produced a round house kick. Her booted foot connected with his stomach and he was gasping in pain. He jumped on her and pinned her to the desert ground. She snarled like a wild animal and he noticed her claws changing color.

“Stop it now! Listen to me! Please stop your aggression for a moment and listen.” He begged.

“Why? You deserve death! I will deliver!” She hissed.

“Woman listen to yourself! How are you any different from my Aunt? I did not harm you!” Mas yelled.

“You had better run. I will hunt you down like her.” Hibari snarled.

“You will eventually loose Miss Matsuda. My people will swarm you and kill you. It is a sin to kill your own kind. You are Shouten now if you like it or not. I am only giving you fair warning. My father is not here at the moment and my brother sleeps.” He snarled back.

She got a look on her face and she stared at him.

“You like me.” She said licking her lips.

“No. I just do not wish to have wasted my time. I cannot see you wasting your second chance.” He warned.

Hibari jerked him down by the back of his neck and he was surprised by her actions. She invaded his mouth with her tongue and she rolled them. Mas was confused and shocked but her tongue began to lash out against his and it made his head swim in untold pleasures as little shocks of pleasure shot down his spine. She had reached into his old style ku trousers to caress his staff and he choked as she stroked and sucked his tongue aggressively. She slowly pulled back and she stared at him.

“You hastened my evolution into a blood drinker. I was slowly changing into a lesser succubus but you only made it quicker. I can still make you my bitch if I bit you.” Hibari said in his ear.

Mas's chest was rising and falling quickly and he felt like prey all of a sudden. Hibari began to lick at the tendons in his neck and he groaned.

“Let me go. I am not trying to be your enemy. I am not your friend but I do not wish to fight you. I turned you.” He groaned.

“You should have left me for dead Shouten. I was a mean and horrid little wench when I was young. I used to kill Shouten without mercy. I only do it a different way now. I want to hurt Sanra. You will tell me how to hurt Sanra.” She said in his ear.

“She loves my father. She is obsessed with him. She is not mentally balanced at all.” He admitted.

“So why does your father allow it?” Hibari demanded.

“Because she is really powerful and he keeps her compliant.” Mas stated.

“He uses sex?” She asked.

“Yes.” He shuddered as she bit lightly along his throat.

“I see. You will be my boy in your family. I am going to destroy her.” Hibari said as she split open his shirt.

“How dare you!” He said gasping harder.

“Little known secret in my family. My jii-chan trained me himself. I am also a prodigy with my yoki. I only became a recluse because I lost my mate. I will not loose my family again.” She said licking down his throat.

Mas was unusual in his family in that he was not pierced. He had no penchant for it and he groaned out loudly as Hibari bit into his chest around a male nipple. The pleasure was ungodly as she made him see stars. She began to run her tongue down his chest and his belly. He realized he had indeed hastened her evolution towards her empusae blood and she began to tongue his belly button.

“Stop! Please stop.” He moaned.

“No. You will come back for more. You will need me Shouten. I will be your drug and I will tell you now that I will use you.” She said as her hand drifted to his manhood.

Hibari lifted her hand and licked her palm generously and then wrapped it around his cock. Mas's eyes widened and she was tugging with delicious pressure as she went back to tonguing his stomach muscles.

“Wicked woman. You are wicked and evil.” He whispered in a pained groan.

“No more then you for turning me.” She whispered as she nipped the planes of his belly.

He arched his body and he could not believe he was in the desert sands being tortured by a woman let alone his own creation. She pumped him faster and he was rasping and he was shamelessly thrusting his hips. He heard himself make obscene cries as he began to shoot his release and she wrapped her mouth around him. His eyes shut as ecstasy overcame him. The next thing he knew she had jerked his head up a little and he was kissing her as she probed his mouth. He tasted what he knew was his own seed and he should have been revolted. He should have fought her but he had allowed himself to be used like a whore due to fascination. He almost hungrily attacked her mouth and she pulled back. She stood up and walked away from him and he stared at the black sky of the desert.

“You should not treat others this way.” He yelled.

“I should treat you worse.” She snarled.

Mas made himself move and he tripped her. She fought him and they were tearing with claws to get at the other. He pinned her hard and she stared up at him. She jerked his head down and began to kiss him again and he groaned more. She bit into his tongue and he lost it. He bit into her tongue as well and blood spilled from the brutal and vicious kiss. Mas ripped his mouth away to breathe and he was rasping hard. Hibari too was rasping as he had her pinned with his tight body. Her blood tasted so different and he phased her clothes off. She at first fought him but he spread her nether lips and pushed into her. Hibari groaned out and she began to shake.

“Too tight. You are too tight.” He said almost whimpering.

“I have not had too many lovers.” She said pushing her hips into him.

“Gods what have I done?” Mas groaned.

She wrapped her legs around his hips and he was shaking harshly.

“Cannot back up your actions coward?” Hibari laughed.

“Shut up!” He snarled.

Mas moved his hips as hard as he could and the beauty underneath him groaned loudly. Their bodies pushed together as close as possible and this was an act of instinct at this point. He attacked her throat and nipped harshly as he licked and sucked to taste her delicious blood. Hibari was growling low in her throat as the pressure was causing mini explosions of pleasure in her brain. Mas had no hopes of holding out. She was too tight and her blood was too good. He exploded in a thunderous way and he collapsed hard against her. She was breathless as he regained himself. He pulled himself back and he shut his eyes against the exquisite feeling.

“Tell me how to kill her.” Hibari demanded.

“She is still my family.” Mas said in a low whisper.

“You turned me. Does that not make me more important?” She demanded.

“Yes.” He said shaking.

“Think really hard pretty boy.” She said phasing her clothes and away.

Mas felt like a fool and disgusting. He had just fornicated and it had been soul shattering. He had no real fondness for his aunt but he had always been loyal to his father no matter what. He was trying to keep his turned alive but she was making it harder and harder.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hibari had no qualms now using her emerging succubus abilities. She knew who she loved and she would use her yoki to destroy. She saw it as a means to an end. She ported to Korea and her father looked up.

“I believe you. I want her dead. Now how are we going to kill her Chichi?” She demanded.

“Be smarter then simply killing Shouten and dropping them off at their door.” He replied.

“Oh that has just been easy and fun.” His baby said.

“You really can be a nasty piece of work.” Naraku laughed.

“I can be you.” She smirked at him.

“Good girl. I want her dead too but we need to be very smart.” He said sitting back.

“Oh I want her dead now. I do not want to wait. I will deliver her head to Haha.” She smiled sweetly.

“Dear Kamis my girl!” Naraku said shocked.

“She took from me! IF she killed Byakuya then she is a dead woman. She has harmed you and I know what she did. Haha told me one night when you had suffered a nightmare. I was only a century old and she could not wake you.” Hibari snarled.

“Hibari.” He said with his eyes turning crimson.

“I know she changed her form and she took you as a man.” She stated in a hate filled tone.

“Stop! Why would your Haha tell you that?” He demanded.

“Because I begged to know what was wrong with you. I was worried.” She said.

Naraku was astonished and he looked away sick and ashamed. She stood up and walked around the desk. She went to her knees and laid her head in his lap.

“I was wrong. I am so sorry Chichi. I am so sorry I doubted you but I do love Byakuya and I will avenge his death. I am giving him a daughter.” She said softly.

“Why do the Kamis see fit to do this?” He whispered.

“No idea.” She said as he ran his hand through her hair.

“I forgive you if you can forgive me too.” Naraku said in a soft tone.

“Hai I do.” Hibari whispered back.

He lifted her up and he hugged her tightly. A few tears fell down her face as he held her. He loved all his children but this daughter had always been special to him. He had begun to wonder when his own story began to resemble the mutt's.

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

Mas could not think as he sat in his room in the dark. His creation was still wreaking havoc and he felt the need to stop her. He felt a presence in his room and he took a sip of blood red wine.

“Why are you here?” He asked in a cold whisper.

“Wondering if you feel the need of me.” Hibari said just as coldly.

“Yes.” He snapped.

“You want me.” She said walking slowly towards him.

“Yes I do but I also have to stop you.” Mas growled.

Hibari had on a black lace shirt and a fairly sheer black silk skirt. She came around the front of him and took his glass. He stared up at her face and she threw his wine away. Hibari straddled his lap and the black silk rode up her thighs. She was a temptress he realized and she tilted his chin up.

“I went to my mother's lover, Sebastein. I asked him to tell me about the empusae. He instructed me some. He says I am an oddity. I have some empusae abilities and some Shouten ones. I also have my yoki from my other life. You made me a whole new creature.” She said palming his arousal.

“Stop it.” He groaned.

“I cannot stop. You see Sanra killed my beloved Byakuya. I died for him. I gave my life for his freedom and she killed him anyway. I cannot have that. I will not have that. She took me from Ryunosuke who by the way is much better person then anyone I know. He quit being a houshi for me. Now you see why I am so pissed?” She said licking along his jaw.

“So you become exactly what you hate; a harlot?” Mas hissed.

“Hai. I will become the predator and you will become my puppet. Is that not what you planned for me?” Hibari demanded.

“No. I had no plans for you. I only did as my father asked. I am loyal to my clan and nothing more.” He said straining.

“Sanra is not here. I want you to tell me where she is.” She said breathing in his ear.

“I do not know.” He said shaking.

“You could find out.” She growled.

“Yes, I could find out.” Mas groaned.

“I will end the torture. I will let you come.” She said licking the shell of his ear.

“I hate you for this.” He shook.

She got off of him and he stood up. He slipped away and she waited on him to return. Sebastein had taught her how to use the power of suggestion through the blood. He had told her how powerful it could be and she was happy to find out that it indeed was. He walked back in shortly and stared at her.

“She is in Emba.” Mas whispered as sweat poured from his brow.

Hibari walked up to him and she sank her fangs into his juncture. He fell against her and crushed her in his arms. She was drinking in his blood deeply and his face held such rapture that it was truly hedonistic. His eyes bled white and he gasped in air and she felt him tremble hard against her. She smirked against his throat and she phased out. Mas fell to his knees and he felt like such a slut.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hibari and Naraku were in Emba and both were in top form. Naraku did not question how she got the information but the respect for this child had grown. They came upon the very small palace and slipped inside. Sanra was holding court and she was sitting in a main throne room as other Shouten went about their business. She had a glass of blood in her hand and she looked distant.

“I want her fucking head.” Hibari said.

“One thing at a time.” Naraku stated.

“Sure.” She said smiling and she suddenly appeared in the room.

Sanra sat up when she saw the woman who had injured her last time and she looked sinister as hell. Hibari held out her hand as her naginata appeared. Sanra morphed her hand and glass limb met yoki blade.

“You should have made sure I was dead dead.” Hibari stated as she ducked and parried.

“You are a nothing.” Sanra growled.

“Really? Well you should think before you act whore. You killed my beloved. You hurt my father and by the Gods you killed me. Where is your brother now?” She taunted.

“I am sure trying to fuck that thing you call a mother.” She shouted.

“Maybe but then he is not paying you court is he?” Hibari laughed.

“Shut up!” Sanra screamed.

Naraku took the moment to appear and he appeared as an amalgamation of many. Sanra whirled around and slashed into him and he made no noise. He used his youkai flesh to inch toward her and she exploded her ash shoki and he coughed badly. Hibari came up quickly and stabbed her in the side. The tr'Awnhi princess rolled into the blade and cut into Hibari's throat. Naraku wrapped a tentacle around Sanra's throat and Hibari removed her naginata from Sanra's body. She had let her Dakkasou miasma flow and Sanra shrieked the unholy way of the Shouten. Naraku's mass swallowed both Hibari and Sanra but he allowed his child to escape. Sanra was shrieking and the hanyou had to let her go. He appeared humanoid and he was holding his side.

“You did not think I could be killed so easily did you?” She laughed manically.

“No but I have no intention of allowing you to leave here alive either.” Naraku said in a dark tone.

“You are a joke little man but I tell you what, next time we fuck I will make sure and imitate her again.” Sanra laughed.

Hibari lost it and Sanra suddenly found herself with the blade of the naginata shoved deeply into her liver. She choked up blood and Naraku watched as his daughter dug the blade even deeper. Sanra gasped out and tried to laugh.

“Impossible.” She whispered.

“You have done too much.” Hibari stated in hatred.

Naraku bled onto the floor and Mas phased in just as he watched Hibari pull back the blade of her naginata. She broke the pole off and she swiped the blade across Sanra's throat with deadly accuracy and such viciousness that even Naraku winced. She held Sanra's hair as her body fell to the floor. Hibari stared over at her Shouten maker and he looked absolutely horrified at her actions.

“Make sure and tell daddy dearest he is next.” She said scowling.

Hibari was covered in blood and she walked over to her father. She held out her hand and she held the head of his enemy in her hand. He shuddered at the scene but she phased them out. All the Shouten were in such shock at the sudden and horrific brutality shown by the corporeal and one of their own. Mas stumbled back and knew the battles were just stepped up. Things had gone from terrible to even worse.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Maec was in the past still and he watched over his sleeping lover. They had fought terribly and he had knocked her out. Something was off and he decided to take Asuna to Astana in this era. He phased them to Raganos and his son was shocked to see his sire. He made his son promise to not allow her away and his son swore it. He also put two other sons on her guard. He went to his Jing allies and he was in the modern era within hours. The chaos was unexpected and he was in shock when he found out the news. Sanra was quite dead and he was stunned when he found out who had done it. He stalked into Mas's room and his next eldest son looked haunted.

“Your turned killed my sister?” Maec snarled.

“Father I was too late.” Mas stated looking up.

“You should have had some control over that whore! How could you have let Sanra be killed? How??” Maec asked in fury.

“Father, my turned is powerful. She is more powerful then any of us could have imagined. She rivals the succubus.” He said in a reverent tone.

Maec's face held such wrath and he belted his son across his face. He stalked into Raganos's rooms and jerked his son up. He slashed his wrist and poured his blood down his throat. He choked awake a little while later and Raganos saw Maec's face in fury.

“Sanra is dead. You are still asleep and you are worthless!” Maec screamed.

“What?” His heir said confused.

“Your aunt and my sister is dead! You fool we are getting decimated from the inside out. Get your worthless ass up and start striking back. I want a death for Sanra's this very day.” He said in a very cold tone.

“Who do you suggest Father?” Raganos stated shaking off the lethargy.

“I think I know.” He said with a very nasty glare.

“Shall I send the troops or shall we swarm ourselves?” His son asked.

“Oh I will do this myself. This turned bitch is a powerful one so we will take from her.” He said coldly.

“What else do you command?” Raganos asked with a bowed head.

“Strike back but do not harm Asuna's brood directly. Strike the children's children.” He commanded.

“Kill?” Raganos asked hopefully.

“Yes.” Maec stated without mercy.

The wraith king phased out and he was seething. He appeared in the apartment building that housed many of the children of Asuna. He focused on the murdering whore's aura and he found it quickly. Maec phased through the wall and he saw a white haired dragon youkai. He phased his hand fast into the chest of the dragon and he went down. He saw a small child who had jade hair and dark amber eyes. She was a young girl who exuded some Shouten in her and he stopped in his tracks. He found himself paralyzed and unable to kill her. He snarled in rage and he looked down at the dragon that was bleeding on the floor. Maec knelt near the reptile and lifted his head.

“You tell that bitch who killed Sanra that she had better face me. I will let the child live only because she bears Shouten blood and no other reason, do you hear me?” Maec snarled.

Ryunosuke nodded barely and the wraith ruler shoved his face into the carpet. He stared at the girl who looked terrified and imaged of Isha assaulted him. He could not kill another small child and it sickened him how soft he had become.

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

Raganos was in Sendai and he was moving quickly. He was happy to be making a decisive move and he enjoyed killing these worthless beings. If Augusta had already born his child then he would have gleefully killed her. He dared not show up at the Western Palace simply because the dog was too strong. He watched several of his younger siblings attack the spiders and he smirked with incredible malice. He joined in the melee as he worked on making as much havoc as possible. The head spider was there as he whirled and arced an awesome looking blade. He was also joined by a black haired beauty that had a similar weapon. Raganos decided to take on the female and she began a flurry of attacks on him and he met her move for move with his battle axe.

“Where is your whore sister?” Raganos demanded.

“Which one?” She demanded.

“I forgot. You have so many.” He smirked.

“Like you.” She smirked in return.

“Oh a smart ass spideress.” He laughed.

Ayana watched in surprise as Hatham appeared behind his cousin and Raganos whirled around as not only Hatham and Neral met the axe with their swords. Raganos was in shock to be fighting his own family and Ayana came up behind him and she had pulled Amimono from her sheath and she shoved it deeply into Raganos's gut. Hatham was in shock as he watched his beloved shove her yoki blade further into his first cousin and through his middle. Raganos stared down at his belly and realized it was a fatal wound.

“You have disgraced the tr'Awnhi name.” He whispered to Hatham and Neral.

“No cousin. It is you who have disgraced our house.” Hatham said as he watched the younger wraith king fall to his knees.

Neral watched dispassionately as Ayana pulled her blade from Raganos and she stepped back.

“That is for your murder of Masami.” She whispered.

Chikara ran into the castle and he was shocked to see his pregnant mate holding her fang and a nearly dead Shouten at her feet. Raganos was still alive but barely and Ayana realized that her jii-chan would want him. She leaned down and used her silk to seal the wound and she ported via her miasma to the Western Palace. Chikara yelled and so did Hatham. Neral moved faster and phased after her. Raganos was shaking from shock and he knew without a doubt that if the dog got a hold of him then he was dead for sure. Her venom infused blade was surely going to kill him soon but he grabbed her leg and infused it with his kemuri. Ayana screamed and she went down. His arm went around her throat and he held on tightly. Neral was there immediately and his leg was twisted in pain.

“Let her go cousin!” He yelled.

“Or what Neral? Die?” Raganos scoffed.

“Yes! Die.” He said in anger.

Raganos wrapped his arm tighter and Ayana was gasping for breath. Sesshomaru heard the commotion and he saw his grandpup with the wraith ruler barely alive. He pulled Bakusaiga and Raganos did not think. He pulled Ayana's own weapon. Neral moved as did Sesshomaru. Raganos's hand was burning but he plunged the weapon at the awkward angle and the other Shouten gasped as blood erupted in his chest as well. Ayana screamed in agony as not only her wound was terrible but Neral's as well.

“I will have you healed if you augment my phasing. DO IT!” He snarled.

Ayana surged her yoki and Sesshomaru dared not make a move. Augusta ran in and she snarled ready to make a move but her mate forced her back. Raganos was barely able to phase them to Balkhash and Ayana was gasping for breath as her lung collapsed. She knew Hatham too would be down and she was trying to crawl.

“Call on the healer now!” Raganos muttered weakly.

He grabbed Ayana's hair and jerked her head back. He sank his fangs into her throat and she hissed and sputtered. He was desperately trying to save himself and Maec came upon the scene. Aidoann was there too and she immediately began to assist the reigning prince and Ayana was laid out. The eldest daughter of Lord Ishin was loosing too much blood and Raganos was as well.

“She is bound to the twins Father.” He whispered.

“Let her go.” Maec said without an emotion.

Aidoann was horrified but she was working fast to save Raganos.

Ayana was desperate to save herself and unborn as she tried to move. Maec stood up and neared her.

“Are you planning on going somewhere? Why should I allow you to live?” He snarled softly.

“Shouten.” She said in deep gasps.

She pointed to her stomach and he realized that a grandchild of his younger brother was within her. He knelt next to her and stared at her hard.

“You will be spared but you will make the twins return. You will never leave and you will never betray us or you will die.” He said holding her jaw in crushing grip.

Ayana nodded and he yelled for a healer. She was hauled up and they began to work on her. Within minutes she was able to breathe again and Aidoann had stabilized Raganos and she stared at Maec.

“These babes need to be delivered now my lord.” She said softly.

“Really? Well good. Call on Mas and tell him to bring my nephews home now!” He snarled.

Aidoann sent a runner and she went near Ayana's head.

“I am Aidoann. Your babes have to come. Healer Nobu taught me corporeal physiology and you here in Hueco Mundo. Your wraith babe will be okay. I will have your spider smuggled away, okay/?” She said softly.

“Hai.” She whispered weakly.

“My family and yours had a summit.” She whispered.

Ayana stared at her and she smiled softly. Aidoann was murmuring very gently and she ordered for Ayana to be taken to a bed. She turned back to the eldest son of Maec and had him taken to his rooms. Maec was busy making his own plans.

Mas was shell shocked but he managed to bring Hatham and Neral home to Balkhash. His father was in such a terrible rage that he was still in a killing mood. Mas was near a lake near the palace and he felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. He felt her and he whirled around.

“You are courting death! You should not be here. My father has returned.” Mas snapped.

“You came to Sendai and you took members of my family. Neral and Hatham are considered members of the Matsuda-Yamasaki household. How dare you!” Hibari said coming near him.

“You started up another series of battles you idiot. My father was in your home! My father would have killed your daughter.” He said nearly screaming.

Hibari's face drained of color and she grabbed Mas by the shoulders.

“That was him?” She demanded.

“Yes! Sanra was his sister!” He said clenching his teeth.

“Sanra was his lover!!” Hibari growled.

“Okay yes! Sanra was a lover.” Mas acknowledged.

“He harmed my mate. He harmed me and I will continue to strike back for every deed he does.” Hibari growled.

“You are an idiot.” He said ready to slap her.

Hibari was at his throat and she sank her fangs into his throat so deeply that it would leave a terrible scar. He grunted in pain as they went to their knees. She was marking him and he shuddered as she began to cause pleasure. He gripped her hips in a painful way and he made a noise. She lifted her mouth and neared her bloody lips to his ear.

“You will do the same now!” She commanded.

“NO!” He growled out.

“Do it or you are the one to die.” Hibari threatened.

“My but you are a nasty, evil bitch!” Mas cried softly.

“I am.” She said coldly.

“Why do this?” He demanded.

“Because. I feel your feelings and you do not want this. You do not want me harmed but you also do not want your family harmed. I am making you choose now. I will not do as my mother did and play around. Do it or die.” She commanded.

“Evil!” He snarled.

“I am the daughter of the most vile creature in Japanese history. Do you think I care? Do it now.” She snapped.

Mas snapped his own fangs around her juncture and he tasted her blood. He moaned as he drank it and she held the back of his head. She held the back of his head down harder so he would sink his fangs deeper. Hibari's eyes were bleeding white and she could barely make out another Shouten. Maec was in shock to see the little bitch having Mas drink from her.

“He is no longer yours!” She said in a nasty tone.

Mas gasped and fell back and Maec could plainly see his child had been put under the spell of an empusae. He came at Hibari and she sucker punched him the gut. His eyes bled white and he went to do his own low level magic but she grabbed Mas.

“Sorry asshole. I am just getting started. When my mother returns and she will. We are going to tear you up!” Hibari snarled.

Maec phased out and appeared behind her but she phased her own hand into his stomach. She smiled a sweet smile and he coughed up blood. She pulled her hand out corporeally and he was staggering right there. He could not believe he had fallen for her ploy and she had just injured his bowel with her Dakkasou like miasma.

“You really should have let me die.” She said as she phased out with Mas.

Maec went down and he was gasping in pain. This daughter was an issue and he had just turned her into a more powerful enemy. He had turned her into a miniature Asuna.

Juria knew that Asuna needed to be in the present but things were also happening in the past. She was in deep angst but she decided to step in. She was in Shanghai and she found the inu princess quickly enough. Asuna saw her Tengu and she was surprised.

“You need to return. I will stay here as myself and I will find you in this era. I will find out what Maec has done. Hibari has started up another series of battles.” She said quickly.

“What do you mean?” Asuna said shocked.

“I mean she has a present for you when you return.” Juria said ushering Asuna, Tekeshi, and Hana towards a portal.

The three went through and Asuna walked into Sendai. Tekeshi was behind carrying Hana and the castle was swarming with kumo warriors. Ishin came up and he looked grave.

“Some of our Sahen allies have let me know that Ayana is in Balkhash.” He said worried.

“Maec?” She demanded.

“Naraku is in our room recovering. Hibari is here too. She brought us a Shouten as a prisoner.” Ishin stated.

“What is she doing?” Asuna asked shocked.

The mother went to see Naraku first and he smiled softly to see Tekeshi and his mate. He sat up and kissed her stomach and bowed his head.

“Hello Naraku.” Tekeshi said smiling widely.

“Naku!” Hana cried.

“Hello sweet girl.” The hanyou said.

“Naraku, what is going on?” She demanded.

“Hibari killed Sanra.” He said proudly.

“She did what?” His mate said shocked.

“Hai. She gutted her and then took of her head.” Naraku stated with a tiny smile.

Asuna stepped back and she yelled for her daughter. Hibari came out moments later and she hugged her mother tightly.

“What have you been doing?” She asked stunned.

“Taking back my life and avenging my mates. Oh and avenging you and Chichi. Is that wrong?” She asked.

“No. Did she suffer?” Asuna asked with wide eyes.

“Hai. She suffered and I also got Maec too.” Hibari said with a gleam in her eye.

“Move Ryunosuke and Reia to Britain; my girl you have made them your very personal enemies.” Her mother commanded.

“Hai mam.” She said bowing.

“I am glad to see you as you are. I am glad to see you as you before I passed.” Asuna said softly.

“No fucking Shouten is going to ever hurt us again. I took her head.” Hibari offered.

Asuna nodded but she looked away.

“Have it burned. The Shouten bury their dead and it will be seen as a desecration to not have her body together.” She said flatly.

Her daughter nodded and Asuna walked away. She felt almost giddy as she heard the news of Sanra's demise. She went back to Naraku who opened his mind so she could see the memory. A small smile passed her lips and she was very calm at the moment. Tekeshi was home and Hana could be with her brother. She had an expert from an era that was pivotal in her life and she could figure out how she was going to go about saving those in the past she needed to. Things finally started to look up.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Juria had found herself a hollow and got herself into Hueco Mundo. She was shaken up by going to the one place she did not want to go. She had to find her soul daughter and she could not allow Maec to corrupt her. It was obvious that Asuna would try and save the devilishly handsome Shouten ruler but in Juria's opinion that was all he was; a devil. She found her soul daughter in the one place she did not want her to be and she was in Astana. She pulled her zanpakuto and she walked amongst the Shouten who stared at the strange being. Raganos stepped out and he stared at her in surprise.

“What is a mortal shinigami doing in my palace?” He sneered.

“I am not a normal shinigami and you have someone who belongs to my house. Now if you wish to live then get the hell out of my way.” She said narrowing her amber eyes.

Raganos stood in the way and she rolled her eyes.

“Houka Sukai!” She commanded of her blade.

The zanpakuto flared with an immense red aura that was reminiscent of her Tomoshibi origins. She fell into battle stance and she stared hatefully at the tr'Awnhi.

“He cannot have her! I will not allow it.” Juria said in hatred.

“Who?” Raganos said intrigued.

“You tell Maec when he comes. You tell him that Sana said, HELL NO! He cannot have Isha. I will not allow it. He may have killed us each once but it will not happen again.” She said in fury as her aura began to burn.

Raganos realized that whatever the hell she was this being was a demi-goddess. He grabbed his battle axe and she stared at him with eyes that looked like the embers of the sun themselves.

“Kaihou Sukai.” Juria commanded of her zanpakuto and it became a blur.

She clashed against Raganos and her zanpakuto sliced straight through the battle axe as if it was butter. He yelled as his hands became burned from the intense heat. She ported out suddenly and she appeared near Asuna where she was lying asleep. Juria saw two Shouten and she whirled around in an arc and burned them brutally. Asuna woke up in surprise and stared at the being in shock.

“What in the Kamis name?” She whispered.

“You need come with me now.” Juria whispered.

Juria allowed her reiastu to calm and she took Asuna's hand. She ported them out to the desert of Hueco Mundo. She saw her stomach and she felt sick to her stomach.

“What did he do?” She yelled at Asuna.

“What do you mean?” The inu princess demanded.

“This! What did he do? Damnit Asuna! Damnit!” She screamed at her.

“Who are you?” Asuna snarled.

“Your Tengu you stupid girl! How could you? You must abort it! You must!” She said shaking her.

“I will not!” She said stepping back.

“This is Maec's child. How could you?” Juria said in a frightening tone.

“I know you not and how dare you tell me to abort my pup. He is not my favorite person at the moment but I will not harm my own blood!” She said growling fiercely.

“Then you had better hope to the Kamis to hide this babe Asuna. This child will be more powerful then either of you. You stupid, stupid girl!” She snarled.

“How soon till I am to give birth?” She demanded.

“Soon. I must hide you. I must consult Yasu. This is all wrong!” Juria said freaking.

“I do not understand.” Asuna growled.

“It was me he was supposedly in love with, not you!” She yelled.

“You were Sana.” She said softly.

“Hai and you were Isha.” She said in anger.

“Are you Tomoshibi?” The inu princess asked.

“Sort of. So are you, sort of. We must get out of here. Damn you!” Juria stated perplexed.

Juria again had to find a hollow and get them to the other plane. She took Asuna to her secret hideaway on the living plane and she intended to contact Kaimei. She ported to the Western Palace and she found her lover Yasu. He had been busy patching up soldiers that had been dealing with “Bai Gu Jing” and she was in her real guise. He was shocked to say the least and he followed her to his rooms.

“Asuna was missing. Why did you not find me?” She demanded.

“Because I was certain you could find her.” He stated.

“Hanori! It is Maec. He has gotten her with child.” Juria stated flatly.

“Cannot be! Maec is dead.” Yasu stated.

“Damnit! I am me not from this era you idiot! I am me from a distant one and Maec broke the laws of nature. He is there and he is fighting us again. I must get to Kaimei. He must shelter Asuna for now and by the Gods do not let another Shouten near our girl!” She hissed in her long time love's face.

“Hai. I did not know.” Yasu said sheepishly.

“Of course not. You choose to stay in this body. Damnit! Damnit!” She yelled as she ported out.

Juria went to her things and she had a gate produced to get into her now home plane. She had to get to the head of the Tomoshibi and she eventually made it to Seagaia. She walked into the large castle and she found Kaimei amongst his brothers and he saw Shihoin Juria and the reborn Tomoshibi princess that had been Sana Sahen.

“Hello Juria. What brings you here?” He asked with a golden brow raised.

“Asuna.” She said softly.

“What is wrong??” He asked sitting up.

“Is Kazaki safe?” Juria asked.

“Hai. He is with Kaita.” He stated.

“Come Kaimei. Come finally to claim your betrothed. Maec has tried to do so. She carries his child.” Juria said flatly.

His face held wrath and he stepped forward.

“Kaita! Protect Kazaki. Juria, why has Maec been here. I thought this was not his era?” Kaimei said in surprise.

“You are in a death sleep in the future. You were almost killed again. Kazaki is there but Kaimei you are the ruler. You are stronger and by the Gods we need you. Asuna does not remember because this babe has not been born but I am telling you that Maec will start a war that will span generations if need be. He has an irrational obsession with her now and she has the foolish notion to save him.” Juria said almost spitting.

Kaimei's face held disgust and he nodded. He produced the portal and they entered her hovel in the mortal realm. Asuna was sleeping and Yasu was there.

“So what are the plans?” Kaimei demanded.

“You will go into the other era. Screw Izanagi. When does he give a damn anyway?” Juria said in contempt.

“True.” The Tomoshibi said.

“You go and you face Maec with the others. You face the son of a bitch down and help her in the future. We will hide the baby for now. I know her and she will eventually remember and come for her babe. Try to keep her from him for as long as possible. I want to keep this secret as long as possible. I want Maec to think his baby died.” Juria stated.

“I understand. To think he touched her. She is Tomoshibi.” Kaimei said sneering.

“He never held disgust for Tomoshibi like that Kaimei. He held disgust that your father had enough gumption to stand up to Astana. It was never about the evolution. It was about Maec being unable to control Zhang.” Juria said in hatred.

Kaimei nodded and he stared at the mother of his two children. He sighed and he prepared himself to go into the distant era. He knew he would have hell to pay from the other elders.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was in Britain spending time with her Shouten family and it was good. Lei and Yhea were being cordial but she could see real comradeship beginning between them. She also saw Hanaj and he was not waking up. Maec had done something terrible to his own son and a tear fell down her face. Shan Lao was off somewhere and she knew he was up to something. She prayed that things were finally going to actually turn their way but they were also a mess. Lei came up behind her and wrapped his arm around her middle.

“You are okay. The babes feel strong.” He said kissing her ear.

“Hai. They are okay. I am still in shock at what Hibari did.” She said softly.

“She is deadly.” He nodded.

“Hai. She was that way when she was younger. She is harder then she was though. Did she really force a mating on Mas tr'Awnhi?” Asuna asked.

“Yes. He is in our little rooms we use a prison at the moment but she did force it on him but he is her maker.” Lei said resting his head on hers.

“She hates him though.” She said closing her eyes.

“No, she does not. She cannot hate him. Iyo and Kenji do not hate Hanaj when he turned them. It just is.” He shrugged.

“How odd.” She sighed.

“Will you come to bed? We have missed you.” Lei murmured whispering in her ear.

“We?” She asked looking at him.

“Yes. We. The two of us. As in me and Yhea. I want to take you slowly and he wants to take you as well then maybe we both will take you until you scream for mercy.” He said licking her throat.

“Hai.” Asuna said with a gulp.

Lei gave her his sexiest come hither look and pulled her along to his room. She followed and she knew she would beg him and Yhea for mercy.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kaimei was in the other era and he had asked Teruyoshi for a few shinigami to assist him. The Captain Commander of Soul Society had been furious but had complied. He also used those connections to send a few discrete messages. Kizaki appeared shortly and his son shocked him. He had turned out quite handsome and he smiled at him.

“What do you want to do father?” He asked smiling.

“I need to help your Haha. Who amongst your siblings can help?” He asked.

“Well Hibari is Shouten but she hates them passionately. If you want to send a message to the tr'Awnhi, then she is our girl.” Kazaki said with a sly smile.

“Please get your sister for me.” Kaimei stated.

His son bowed and within an hour a beautiful turned Shouten appeared. She smiled at the beautiful Tomoshibi male before.

“I am Kaimei.” He said simply.

“I know who you are sir. I am Matsuda Hibari. How may I serve you sir?” She asked with a twinkle in her mahogany eyes.

Kaimei instantly liked her and he sat down. Hibari followed suit and Kizaki did as well.

“Since you are still Shouten; I would like a message delivered to the tr'Awnhi king. Please tell him that a Tomoshibi wishes a meeting.” He said inclining his head.

Hibari grinned and Kizaki neared his sister. He phased them to the mortal plane and she phased straight in Balkhash. She sensed Maec and she appeared quickly to him. He sat up in his bed and she smirked.

“A certain Tomoshibi says come be a man and face him.” Hibari said grinning.

“You little bitch!” Maec snarled.

“Still hurt? Good.” She said phasing out.

Maec stood up slowly and he had actually had a minor surgery to resect his bowel. He knew he should stay in bed but he was furious. He phased to the mortal plane outside of the city of Tokyo. There was a huge presence of another manner of wraith and Maec narrowed his dark eyes.

“Hello Maec. Long time no see.” Kaimei said as his green eyes slowly bled darker green.

“Well well Hasegawa Kaimei. I did not kill you?” Maec taunted as his own eyes took on a silvery tint.

“No but I should let you know that Sana found Asuna in the past. I am Kaimei from then. I killed your babe myself.” Kaimei stated in a terrible voice.

Anger of unknown proportions hit Maec and actual grief hit his gut. Hatred of this Tomoshibi made him see blood; light wraith blood.

“You will regret your actions Tomoshibi. I will take everything you value.” Maec stated in a deadly calm voice.

“She was never yours. She was mine!” Kaimei snarled.

“How droll.” He said suddenly snarling as well.

Maec came at Kaimei and the explosion of energies could be seen for miles over the Tokyo night sky.
