Falling Upon the Sword

 

Asuna slept between Yhea and Lei at the moment and the incredible act of passion had been soulful. She knew things would come to a head quickly but she was feeling off. She sat up and Yhea pulled her back down. He nuzzled his lips against her throat and she whined a little. Lei began kneading her hip and they had no intentions of her leaving. She met Yhea's eyes and they held something.

 

“I have not had the chance to tell you but when you reversed Maec's spell; it had some side effects.” He said threading his hand through her hair.

 

“Truly? I know I have been able to port into Hueco Mundo.” Asuna whispered.

 

“Yes but I have produced an energy weapon and I have unleashed a similar release as your Supaida Nami.” He stated.

 

“Truly?” She asked astonished.

 

“Yes.” He whispered back.

 

“Well!” She replied in surprise.

 

Yhea pulled her forward a little and claimed her mouth. She groaned softly as he kissed her passionately. Lei stirred and he saw the kiss. Lust stirred in his gut and he shifted behind her. She gasped harshly into Yhea's mouth. Lei was nipping hard on her neck and his hands had come to cup her breasts.

 

“I missed you wife.” He said in her ear.

 

“Hai.” She groaned.

 

“Since I have become even more risqué then I have ever been, I think you would like it if Naraku was here.” Lei whispered passionately.

 

Yhea's eyes were simmering and he had come to embrace his strange new life. It meant giving up long held beliefs but then he had always been a rule breaker.

 

“Lei, I cannot handle too much more.” She moaned out.

 

“Yes you can. Besides we like the halfling. He is funny.” He smirked.

 

“Oh do you?” She tried to think clearly.

 

“Mmmm yes.” Yhea grinned.

 

“Why do you say that?” Asuna asked as Yhea spread her open.

 

“Because he had told us how to make you weaker in the knees. With the kind of information; how could we not like him?” Lei asked smirking.

 

The elder brother leaned down and sank his fangs into her breast and she screamed out. What she truly did not expect was to see Naraku. She saw him suddenly over her and his face held such profound need.

 

“Naraku?” She asked in a shaky voice.

 

“Hai koi. I am twisted remember?” He asked with an evil grin.

 

“Hai very twisted.” She groaned as he leaned down.

 

“I love you my little inu. Remember that. Also remember that you need to come home to Sendai. Ishin needs to feel this too.” Naraku stated in a passionate way.

 

“Hai.” She groaned as Lei and Yhea did wicked things.

 

“I also have information and I want you to tell me the truth koi.” He said slipping fingers through her nether lips.

 

“Hai anything.” She whimpered.

 

“Gaku Jouichi. Why does he not come home?” The hanyou asked.

 

“Stays in Tibet.” Asuna groaned.

 

“Mhmm I know that my darling. Watch as I get her to tell us the truth Shouten.” Naraku grinned.

 

Lei and Yhea seemed intrigued and Asuna lifted her head and glared at Naraku.

 

“I am in part kumo. Just a little koi.” He said as he pierced her nub with a tiny bit of his miasma.

 

She screamed and she began to sweat. His shoki was more powerful then most creatures and she was wracked with unimaginable pleasure.

 

“What do you wish to know?” She growled out.

 

“Why does Gaku Jouichi not come home?” He demanded again.

 

“Because he has no wish to interfere.” Asuna yelped out honestly.

 

“See Lei and Yhea; she is telling the truth but it is only in part. She wants me to believe her when she only gives me a little information. I think koi that Jouichi has the same sort of passion that Ishin and I do. You are not Ayana anymore.” He murmured as he brushed a nipple with his thumb and forefinger.

 

“You bastard!” She hissed.

 

“Hai we have established that but you love me anyway. You have me in you yet again koi. I used to think Ishin would have all of our children but you surprised me. She came to me and asked to have another girl; that would Hibari you see. She was actually planned, was she not koi?” He asked brushing his knuckles across her stripes.

 

“Hai!” She moaned arching her body.

 

“I remember making our fiery little Bari. I remember you seducing me. Your mutt father and I had a row over you in fact. You came to soothe my ego and I ended up begging you. You demanded, how was it again koi?” Naraku asked amused.

 

“I said fuck me.” She snarled in need.

 

“Hai. You said fuck me. She can be so vulgar. It is quite entrancing really. The yoki was so immense that day. Now koi. Tell me what Jouichi is.” He commanded as he maneuvered himself between her thighs.

 

Lei and Yhea had both sat back and watched the powerful hanyou work her. Lei was entranced beyond anything and Yhea was enthralled. Naraku licked and sucked at her nub and she moaned harshly.

 

“He has been mine a long time. He left because he could not handle his guilt. He felt he had wronged you two.” Asuna rasped out.

 

“Good girl.” He purred.

 

Naraku slid up her body and pushed inside of her. She gasped harshly and his lips were against her ear.

 

“We are as we are koi. We are stronger as a family are we not?” He asked as he moved sharply.

 

“Hai!” She yelped again as her claws tore his flesh.

 

“Jouichi is powerful like Ayana the Great. He needs to unite with his family to strengthen us. That is what I am doing koi. These Shouten are now apart of the clan and they strengthen us. We will only defeat our enemies as the great family that we have created.” He said in a fierce whisper.

 

Their bodies became fevered and he rasped out as he brought about their mutual bliss. He was kissing her passionately as he pulled back. He finally lay beside her and his hand played along her stomach.

 

“Lei and Yhea need you too.” He grinned.

 

“Kamis.” She said staring at the ceiling.

 

“I think we can manage for the moment my darling.” Lei said staring down at her.

 

“Yes.” Yhea chuckled.

 

Naraku intended to find Gaku Jouichi because he knew things were going to turn bloody. The former lord of the Untied Kumo Kingdom was a mighty warrior. He needed all his allies.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Naraku was in Tibet and he stared around at the countryside. He had become accustomed to technology and fine things. There were still purists in the kingdom and he snorted at them. He found a small mansion built into a side of a mountain and it was just what a modern kumo would like. He went to the dwelling and he heard the shrieking laughter of a little onna. He stepped around into a small yard and he saw Jouichi with a beautiful girl. The little onna had black hair and black eyes of a kumo but she had the crescent moon of the West and the stripes of her mother. Jouichi looked up and he saw Naraku. He said nothing and Sakina stared at the hanyou. Naraku knelt so as not to shock the small kumo girl and she gripped her sire's legs.

 

“Hello little one. I am Naraku.” He said gently.

 

“I know.” She said chewing on a claw.

 

“What are you doing here?” Jouichi demanded.

 

“I came to see why you have not been to Sendai. Does Ishin know he has a sister?” Naraku demanded.

 

“It is not his business to know.” The former lord said crossly.

 

“Oh I think he would want to know.” The hanyou stated curling his lip.

 

“Sakina, please port to your nanny my dear.” Jouichi commanded.

 

“Hai Chichi.” Sakina said worried.

 

She ported without her shoki and Jouichi crossed his arms. He was not prepared to defend his actions and he just bristled.

 

“How long have you been involved with her?” Naraku demanded.

 

“It was never her intention to do anything. I asked her for this.” He stated.

 

“Why?” His former son stated.

 

“Because I failed Hisashi and Ishin. I have always wanted to be a father and I ruined it with my sons. I have a second chance and she allowed it.” Jouichi stated in a growl.

 

“You lie.” Naraku growled.

 

“I do not have to explain. I am not involved with her now and as you can see Sakina is nearing five years old. She is mine!” He said gripping his fists.

 

“I would not take your daughter Lord Jouichi but you are a member of our house and you rot away here? You ask my mate to give you a child and you cannot talk to me?” The hanyou said with narrowed eyes.

 

“How would it have looked? Ishin is her brother. You have her other brother's soul within him. How do I explain it to her Naraku?” He demanded.

 

“Like we explain it to all of our children! The truth!” He snapped.

 

“I am not you.” Jouichi said trying to walk past him.

 

“No you are not. You are a fucking coward. You have always been a fucking coward. You mated that whore and divested yourself of your responsibility to your sons and your people. I died trying to defend those people father! That scaly cocked bastard that fucked my whore of a mother in turn raped a good onna on my doorstep!” Naraku said shaking as if he was still Hisashi.

 

“You are no longer fully him so do not speak as if you are. Asuna is no longer Sorami or Ayana.” The elder kumo stated in a snarl.

 

“Why was I not good enough Jouichi? I was your first born and you basically abandoned me. You tolerated me and when Ishin was born; you never showed me that kind of tenderness. I was never privy to that kind of emotion.” He said in a low voice.

 

“You were wanted badly. I needed an heir and I wanted you. You looked so much like her.” Jouichi said choking.

 

“So because Hisashi favored that whore; you abandoned him? Now Sakina favors Asuna and so she is worthy?” He said bitterly.

 

“Sakina is a babe and she is mine. She is my everything now.” He said growling in fury.

 

“She is a member of the kumo house Jouichi. The blood of Ayana the Great runs in her veins and by the Kamis she should be amongst her siblings. Maybe for once in your life you could quit being the coward and face your family like a man instead of spineless worm!” Naraku said stepping back and his eyes were burning crimson.

 

“Leave and never return.” He yelled.

 

“Actually.” His former son said porting via his miasma.

 

He appeared in the mansion and he startled a kumo nanny. She bowed face down before Naraku and he held his hand out to Sakina.

 

“Chichi say stay here.” She said meeting his eyes.

 

“Little one you have brothers and sisters that would like to know you. I am only taking you home to Sendai.” He said softly.

 

“This home. Haha fight so Sakina stay safe.” She said playing with her dolls.

 

“You are so beautiful. Ishin would want to know you.” He said patting her head.

 

“Ishin busy too.” Sakina murmured.

 

“Not too busy to know you.” He said making her look at him.

 

“Chichi say stay here.” She said blinking at him.

 

“Do you love Haha?” he asked.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“I see Haha almost everyday. Do you think you should see Haha everyday?” Naraku asked.

 

Her black eyes filled with tears and she nodded. He took her hand just as Jouichi entered the nursery.

 

“Release her hanyou!” Jouichi said in anger.

 

“No. Your behavior keeps her from her family and her mother. I cannot allow it. I am still lord of the federation and you do not control me.” He said picking up Sakina and porting away with her.

 

Jouichi did not wait and he ported via his miasma to Sendai. Naraku was nowhere to be seen and he was frantic.

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

Naraku walked into his brother's office at Sendai and Ishin had been on the phone. His jaw dropped when he saw the beautiful little angel in his brother's arms and she blinked at him.

 

“What the hell?” Ishin asked stunned.

 

“Hai. Sakina this is Ishin. Please go say hello.” He said setting her down.

 

Sakina was shy and she buried her face in Naraku's legs. Ishin stood up slowly and he moved to kneel near her. He fingered her ebony hair and there was no mistaking her for Asuna's daughter.

 

“This is Gaku Jouichi's daughter.” Naraku stated firmly.

 

Ishin looked up at Naraku and his jaw dropped. Sakina peeked at him and he held out his arms.

 

“Hello little one. I am Ishin.” He said softly.

 

“I know.” She murmured.

 

“You know?” He smiled at her.

 

“Hai. You are Yamasaki Ishin. Lord of the Tsuchigumo Federation. Chichi has me study.” She said playing with his ebony hair.

 

Ishin was amazed with how well she was spoken and he had been trying to coordinate to get his own Ayana back. He looked up to see his father in the door and Sakina struggled in Ishin's arms. He let her down and she ran to her father. Jouichi knelt down and hugged her tightly as he stared at both Ishin and Naraku.

 

“Do not ever take her from again.” Jouichi said with reddened eyes.

 

“The truth is out Jouichi. You tell her all about us but we do not know her. Is that because you are ashamed?” Naraku asked.

 

“Not in front of her!” He growled.

 

“Hai brother. Let her go play or allow him to take her home.” Ishin sighed.

 

“Let her see her siblings.” Naraku said flatly.

 

Jouichi spoke softly to Sakina and he led her to the castle nursery. He came back and he was ready to fight. Ishin was calm and he sat down as he began to send email messages to several subordinates in the Federation.

 

“Speak.” Jouichi demanded.

 

“What do you want me to say? She is beautiful. How could she not be?” He said as he fairly well ignored his sire.

 

“You have no opinion?” He asked shocked.

 

“No. Not really. I gave up thinking you could be a father a long time ago. Perhaps you can be a friend instead. Hisashi was more a father to me anyway and I have spent nearly four centuries raising my family and doing my business. I learned long ago in order to have my inu then I do not control her. Enough said.” Ishin shrugged.

 

Jouichi was in shock and he stared at his youngest son. Naraku stared at him morosely and he knew he had much to answer for. He just did not want to.

 

“I will not keep apologizing for my stupidity in my youth. I was wrong and I have admitted that. I did you both no service and I have tried to stay out of your lives.” He said sighing.

 

“Did you ever think that perhaps; just perhaps, we wanted you in our lives? It is just a thought really.” Naraku smarted off.

 

Ishin sighed and stared at his volatile older “brother”.

 

“It does not make it easier if you are stand offish brother. Maybe get some tea.” Ishin suggested.

 

“How about sake and swift kick up his ass?” Naraku asked.

 

“You have a few sore points Naraku and this is one. Go take a walk.” His younger brother muttered.

 

Naraku glared at Jouichi and he left the office. Ishin stared at Jouichi and he sighed heavily.

 

“So you have feelings for her too?” He demanded.

 

“Hai.” He said looking away.

 

“Have you not heard of Lord Tekeshi? Good Kamis Father. You act as a prude.” Ishin stated rolling his eyes.

 

“Pardon me?” Jouichi asked stunned.

 

“Was your mother not Ayana the Elder or not? Did she or did she not do the same as my own lovely onna?” He asked almost smirking.

 

“Hai she did but I am not her.” He stated narrowing his eyes.

 

“That is not what my Ayana has said. She has told me some stories that Chikara told her. Seems you had quite the heyday so to speak. I actually felt like I got to know you some.” Ishin said watching him.

 

“Ishin!” Jouichi said actually blushing.

 

“You are kumo and so was Ayana but her soul is that of Asuna. It makes me think you have something in you too. Look Naraku will cool off. When you hide things from him; well, he gets pissed. I have learned to be VERY pragmatic and I have managed to be unbelievably happy for a long damn time.” The son shrugged.

 

Jouichi sat unable to say anything and he was actually in awe of his son. Ishin stood up and poured some sake for both of them.

 

“I am in need of my wraith allies to retrieve my sons in law and my Ayana.” He said watching the sky.

 

The son of Ishin and the namesake of Gaku Jouichi ran in. His eyes flicked over at his grandsire and he bowed.

 

“Chichi there is a supe battle in Tokyo.” Jouichi the younger said quickly.

 

“What kind?” Ishin asked surprised.

 

“Shouten and I think Tomoshibi sir. Hibari called.” He said.

 

Ishin stood up and Jouichi did as well. They followed the younger man out and they were astonished at the sheer yoki erupting.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna knew that Naraku would go to Jouichi and she intended to see what he was up to. She was not prepared to get a call and find out there was a battle outside of Tokyo proper. She ported in and she was shocked to see Maec and Kaimei fighting. It was horrific what they were doing and Kaimei was fighting with a yoki sword; it burned brightly as if an ember from a star and Maec had his own katana. Maec's face held such hatred that it was terrifying and he was slashing with ease at Kaimei. The Tomoshibi was blocking with finesse and it was obvious what a mighty warrior he was. Thankfully the two male wraiths had chosen a large open ground where ningen were not really around but this amount of energy would be difficult to explain. Asuna felt like snarling and hitting them both for putting the youkai in danger because of Japan's dense modern population.

 

Maec could feel her near but he was intent upon killing Kaimei. His intentions with her past self had been simple; he had wanted a child and he had intended to see his child born safely. This creature had taken from him and he would not tolerate it. He stepped back and he allowed his form to change and Kaimei cursed under his breath. The bastard was pulling no punches and the Tomoshibi would have to also change form. Asuna's hand came to her mouth as her Tomoshibi lover became something of intense light and with no real form at all. The two creatures came at each other and the resulting explosion of yoki went outward and she was slammed against a tree. She gasped in pain as she watched them dissolve and reappear as if they were gas like beings. She knew there were other members of her family around and she came upon an idea. She ported near Ishin and he jumped. He noticed blood from a small wound in her chest and he made a noise.

 

“Tell Hibari to take you and Bihua into Balkhash. Retrieve Ayana and the twins. See if Soren and the children can be retrieved as well. Let us use Maec's distraction to get them now.” She whispered quickly.

 

“Good idea inu. Stay out of this battle.” Ishin commanded.

 

“Jouichi, will you help your son?” Asuna asked.

 

“Hai I can.” He nodded and bowed.

 

“Okay. See you all soon.” She said.

 

They ported out via their shoki and she kneeled as she watched Maec corporealize again and so did Kaimei. Maec's face had a huge gash that started at his temple and ran down the left side of his face and it was bleeding freely. Every time Maec tried to phase his hand into Kaimei the Tomoshibi would phase himself. He used his hands and he would actually burn Maec with pure raw light. The light wraith had earned their name aptly. Asuna was awe as Maec suffered in the battle. She saw him suddenly let a voiding shoki appear and she screamed, no. She rushed the Shouten ruler and held out both her hands. She let out a huge nami that slammed Maec backwards into rock sculpture. Kaimei jerked her backwards and stared at her.

 

 

“Are you insane?” He asked in anger.

 

“That is a deadly attack.” Asuna said quickly.

 

“How do you know?” Kaimei demanded.

 

“Because it is one of mine.” She replied.

 

“Do you think he stole it from you?” Her Tomoshibi asked.

 

“I do not know.” She asked stumped.

 

Maec got up and he was snarling in anger. He stared at her with his eyes having turned silver and she realized they turned that color when his mood was especially deadly.

 

“Get away from him Isha.” He said in a nasty voice.

 

“Go away Maec!” She yelled.

 

“NO!” He said suddenly behind her.

 

Maec had phased his hand into her back and Kaimei yelled. She stiffened and she could feel his fingers curl around her spine.

 

“I told you I would kill you. You fucking worthless being! You are unworthy of this woman.” Maec stated in horrendous snarl.

 

“Let her go Maec!” Kaimei demanded.

 

“I told you that I will kill you if I cannot have you.” He said in a crazed tone.

 

Asuna let Konkisaiga appear and she shoved it backwards into Maec's thigh. Tears flooded her face as she whispered “gomen nasai”. She let loose a nami through her fang and Maec shrieked as he let her go. He refused to phase and he suddenly released a flurry of ash shoki. It hit Kaimei squarely and he went down. Blood was running down Asuna and Maec as well.

 

“You stupid, leave!” She yelled at him.

 

“Not until he is dead!” Maec stated shoving her hard and stalking towards Kaimei.

 

Kaimei was still down and Maec morphed both of his hands into nasty looking spear like appendages. Kaimei suddenly moved and he shoved his radiant blade through Maec's sternum. Maec coughed up blood in copious amounts but the Shouten king impaled Kaimei through the belly and into the ground and he spoke the ancient tongue that no one knew. Kaimei yelled in horrendous pain and Asuna ran to both wraiths. Kaimei was impaled to the ground and Maec staggered back as the katana of brilliant energy faded. He stared at her with pain filled eyes as they faded from silver to brown and then slowly to white. He stumbled backwards and he refused to die. He refused to be “killed” again by Hasegawa Kaimei.

 

“Isha.” He whispered hoarsely.

 

Asuna stood there unable to move as she was torn emotionally for what reason she could not fathom.

 

“Isha, I am sorry. I am sorry I harmed you.” Maec rasped as he slowly fell to his knees and then all fours.

 

“You would do it again.” Asuna said as tears fell down her face.

 

“No. I would have stopped myself. I will not die today. Kaimei might.” He said lifting his head and staring in hatred at the Tomoshibi.

 

“Did you kill Zhang?” She asked in fury.

 

“Damn right I did. I killed Jing Zhang and I would do that again. Fucking Tomoshibi traitors. My people. All the wraiths are mine. You are mine.” He said staring at her but unable to see her.

 

She made a wounded noise and she neared him. Kaimei was alive but unconscious. She grabbed Maec's bloodied head and jerked it back by his dark hair. She shoved her wrist into his mouth and he groaned as he sank his fangs in. He had to fall to his side and she went to her knees as she fed him and he took in a huge amount of her blood. He finally released her wrist and he stared up at her face that was clouded in hate and more.

 

“Why?” He demanded.

 

“Because it is my duty to kill you.” She snarled.

 

“Still hell bent on my demise.” Maec retorted.

 

“I will not stop.” Asuna replied.

 

“Neither will I. I will kill that stupid fuck for what he has done. I will kill him for taking what belonged to me.” He stated and then slowly phased out.

 

Asuna got up and went over to Kaimei, who was ashen and she cut her wrist and pressed it to his mouth as she had for Maec. Kaimei woke up slowly and his green eyes were pale green. They stared at her and he looked pissed off. He fed from her and she felt weak as hell. He released her wrist and he had to physically pull the solidified shoki from his abdomen and he yelled out as she helped to pull the spikes out.

 

“This magic…it is almost like the mythic alchemy.” She whispered.

 

“Hai Asuna that is exactly what it is! Some beings are better at it then others. Some Shouten are marvelous at it.” He groaned in pain.

 

“You do not know it?” She asked.

 

“Why would I care to learn the dark arts?” Kaimei hissed.

 

“Why are you angry?” Asuna growled.

 

“Because he is not dead. You told him you were sorry? You idiot! You do have feelings for him!” he said furiously.

 

“No, I do not! I hate him as much as you.” She said growling.

 

“Do not lie to me Asuna. You idiot. Juria told me you plan on saving him? From who? Me?” He asked shoving her.

 

“DO NOT raise a hand to me you arrogant gas bag!” She screamed.

 

“You are rich lover. You stupid bitch; he will destroy you.” Kaimei said suddenly phasing away.

 

She was left to stand there and tears of anger, frustration, confusion, and rage fell from her eyes. She had told Maec she was sorry. She had realized he had probably stolen some of her own yoki and she had saved him from bleeding out.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asuna was thinking deeply on what Yhea had said before and she was sitting in Southern Mongolia. She stared at a wall and Naraku came in. She looked up and he looked at her.

 

“I love him. I have always loved him. I was a coward and did not tell you.” She said in truth.

 

“I would have understood that.” Naraku stated in anger.

 

“I am sorry.” Asuna said in shame.

 

“If anyone understands what this reincarnation business does to your soul or in my case; souls, it is me koi. Do not lie to me! I thought we were working past these asinine issues.” He growled.

 

“I love him and I love you. My kumo family is everything to me.” She said meeting his eyes.

 

“Certain males of each species is important to you for certain reasons. I expect to always be your chief mate. ALWAYS. Never will that be replaced but you expect the same from this hanyou. Like your wraith Lei has said; speak the truth.” He said near her ear.

 

She nodded and he kissed her lips. He turned on his heel and left. She stood up and went in search of Yhea. She found him trying to summon his yoki katana and he was frustrated.

 

“It takes meditation Yhea.” She said.

 

“Well I did when I faced Maec.” Yhea groused.

 

“You needed it.” Asuna shrugged.

 

“Well damn. What good is it then?” He snapped.

 

“What did it look like?” She asked intrigued.

 

“Honestly? It looked like a black version of yours.” Yhea smiled.

 

Asuna smiled back and she watched him sit and he picked up a glass of wine.

 

“You told me some time back that Maec had favorites and other children outside of his sanctioned marriages. How many and who were they?” Asuna inquired.

 

“Not entirely sure. It is rumored he took an Arrancar for a lover.” He said sipping his wine.

 

“Truly?” She asked stunned.

 

“Yes but most Shouten see Arrancar as scum and have nothing to do with them. Maec has unusual tastes it is said.” He shrugged.

 

“He truly may have had an Arrancar lover? Do you think Sanra would have killed her?” Asuna asked.

 

“Yes. Sanra was a crazy bitch.” Yhea shuddered.

 

“Maec preferred females but he did have male companions from time to time.” She stated in thought.

 

“I think Maec was mostly into females Asuna. He used my father to punish and humiliate. It was not about attraction; it was about control. I am sure Sanra was there to egg him on.” He said disgusted.

 

“Who else Yhea? Please give me something to go on.” She begged.

 

“I do not know! Soren might now. They have not returned yet. You said Maec was injured badly. I imagine he will have to go into a death sleep.” He said looking at her.

 

She nodded and she was so deep in thought that she did not notice him stand. He knelt near her and lifted her chin.

 

“Your mind is in turmoil and it is no good for our child. Please come rest.” Yhea asked as he rubbed her belly.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

Yhea pulled her up and he led her to Lei's bedroom. He had found himself spending more and more time in here and he laid her on the bed. He lay beside her and he only spooned her form so she would sleep. Her eyes were still open and she was still haunted by the look on both Maec and Kaimei's faces.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hibari was back with Ayana and their little Sahen spy had done wonders. Her elder sister was home in Korea as well as Hatham and Neral. Soren had been retrieved but he had been injured. Jao was attending him at the moment and Hibari had killed five Shouten soldiers to get to Renshu Jing and Soren children. She was injured at the moment but she did not care. She was not bound to Mas and only mated through a mark. She stormed into his room that held him prisoner and he stared at her in hatred and anger.

 

“Killed more of your kind?” Mas asked in a nasty tone.

 

“Oh hai I did and it was good. Oh hai Kamis it was awesome.” Hibari moaned in sarcasm.

 

“You are a nasty whore!” He yelled.

 

“Oh I am just getting started Mas. You have been spared because you did give me this second chance as you put it.” She smirked.

 

He stormed up to her and slapped her. He slapped her several times and she just had a small little smile on her overly beautiful face. He went to hit her again and she caught his mouth in a devastating kiss. He could not help himself and Mas groaned as he invaded her mouth. He slammed her against the wall and devoured her. He began to rip at her shirt and she stopped him. She shoved him off and he snarled in anger.

 

“I am not done with your family and I am going to rip them apart slowly. I am going to dismember some and behead a few more. I want to know about the alliance with the wyvern and the succubus Danika.” She purred.

 

“I hate you!” Mas said smashing his fists beside her head.

 

“Nifty little powers I have over you is it not? Go ahead and rage lover but you like what I can do and you and I both know it.” Hibari smiled widely.

 

“You do not show this hateful, wicked side to your shinigami or dragon do you?” He demanded.

 

“Why would I? They are perfect men. Good and honorable men. You are a fucking Shouten whose only purpose is to give me information. I am going to have the ultimate revenge of the tr'Awnhi you know.” She said with such vindictiveness.

 

“You sit here with your holier then thou shit! You are Shouten now too whore! You are exactly what you hate.” Mas stated with pure venom lacing his tone.

 

“I am a new creature. I have no clue what I am but I know I am not fully Shouten. I am better then you.” She laughed merrily.

 

“You are no different then Sanra.” He snarled.

 

Hibari wrapped long, tapered fingers around his throat and dug her claws into the tender flesh. He gurgled and her power over him through the blood tie was staggering. She stared at him with tremendous anger and pure lust. Mas hated himself to the point that if he could; he would have killed himself to be free. She knew her actions were akin to devilish but she did not care. She did not care because of the many misdeeds done to her and her entire family. Mas leaned his head forward a little and he snapped his fangs. Hibari met his black eyes with her mahogany ones and she slowly began to kiss him again. She released his throat and he hissed a little as she made it too warm and too gentle. His body hummed in desire and his mind shut down his protests at only the want became apart of him. She ripped open his tunic shirt and she ran her hands lightly over his chest and barely touched his male nipples. He whined and sought entrance to her mouth that she parted to accept his seeking and probing tongue. He knew she made him want this and forced his mind to shut down. He phased her cumbersome clothes away as his hands cupped and stroked her firm breasts. His cock began to harden at the thought of wrapping his lips around a tip and suckling it till she thrashed under him. He wanted to make her weak with need and mewl in hunger the same way she did to him. Hibari shoved him off and he landed badly. He stared at her and he knew he looked positively indecent. He was starved with the need to possess and the debauchery in which this thing was; it was horrid. Her face held such superiority and fury that it was just disgusting. Her face held malice and he hated her for it. He also wanted more. Mas jumped her on her and he slammed her hard on the ground as his mouth found a pink bud. He hungrily and with utter madness suckled her like she was air. Hibari groaned in blissful agony as he took as much as he could. She had forced the blood bond on him and it was making him mad. If he had it to do over again; he would have let her die. She shoved him off of her and he snarled in hatred.

 

“I think you have had enough for one day.” She sneered.

 

“You think I will continue to let you taunt me?” Mas demanded.

 

“I think you love it.” Hibari growled.

 

“Well I do not! I hate you! I hate this crazed feeling you invoke and by the Gods you are no better then those you profess to revile!” He said with a curled lip.

 

“Well Mas you made me.” She said grabbing her clothes.

 

He got some gumption and he suddenly grabbed her. He held her hips tightly and kneaded them. She was stiff and his gaze was filled with such lust and need. Mas were able to bend her over and he eased himself into her. Hibari was shocked and choked as he slowly dragged his member against her walls.

 

“Gods.” He whispered in relief.

 

“You just needed to fuck?” She asked in a cold voice.

 

“Shut up.” Mas demanded.

 

He grabbed her hair and jerked her head back as he slowly pistoned his hips back and forth. He was easing the ache in his body that this bitch created. Hibari slammed herself hard against him and he groaned. She continued to drive herself against him and he continued to move in her. He needed her and she knew it. Her voice was raw but she yelped out as he had harsh climax. He fell over her back and he sank his fangs into her neck. Mas was drinking deeply and she was making soft noises. He finally pulled back and she crawled forward.

 

“Feel better?” She scoffed.

 

“Yes.” Mas said in supreme bitterness.

 

Hibari turned and she walked up to him. He tried to avoid her gaze but she caught his lips. Mas slipped his tongue into her mouth immediately as he was desperate to feel more then this crap. Hibari was surprised by the intensity of his seeking and he picked her up. They were both still both naked as he eased her onto him again. She groaned into the lip lock and he was squeezing her bottom in his hands. He made it to the bed at the far wall and he moved within her slowly. Hibari turned her head and she was gasping as he shifted his hips to create deep penetration and little friction. Mas was breathing hard against her cheek and throat as he did what he wanted.

 

“What are you doing?” She whimpered.

 

“Making love the Shouten way.” He ground out.

 

“No.” Hibari whined.

 

“Yes!” Mas snarled.

 

Mas maneuvered her a little and her legs were folded and hooked in his elbows. It left her open and exposed as he only pushed in harder to reach her cervix. She groaned and whimpered loudly as he worked himself so slowly but it showed on his face how much he reveled in it.

 

“Why do you torture us?” She snapped.

 

“It is not torture. It is supposed to be about mutual ecstasy.” Mas said in a passionate way.

 

Hibari made loud cries as he worked himself in her just so. Mas had always kept a longtime lover and he missed her. He felt her first waves beginning to build and he dragged her to their ether forms. The explosion happened within his soul and he mentally cried out and Hibari was gasping in his mind too. He could not keep her in her natural form long and she jerked back corporeal and he was yelling as her body felt like it was having convulsions. Her hands were gripping his uppers arms tightly and her claws had dug in. Blood slowly oozed down from the small wounds as she screamed out. Mas shook against her and his grunts and obscene noises were many. Finally they both stopped and they just breathed deeply. Mas hated her for certain but he was also certain he was absolutely addicted to her like a damn drug. Hibari stared at him and he stared at her. Their lips slammed against the other and it was round three or four. He had lost count and he just wished he did not have such self loathing.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Maec felt tremors of pain shoot through his body but he made himself move. He was furious and actually in such a saddened rage that he wanted to rip the Tomoshibi limb from limb. He was pretty sure they would have rescued their family and he just did not care. He stumbled forward and he intended to leave this era. He intended to return to his own era and start causing such miserable pain for these corporeal bastards that they would regret having crossed him. Blood dripped down his face and he realized that he was crying. He was in shock at himself and he wiped away the bloody tears as he admonished himself. Things had gone awry and he was in a mindless fury. He phased back into the living world and he knew that Sana was around in the guise of a Tengu. He wanted to kill her and he knew where to go. Maec phased to the area of the desert known as Los Noches and he would question the shinigami known as Aizen. He had let Raganos deal with the human death god but he now intended to get answers. He was surrounded by Arrancar and his face held contempt. He was still injured but he truly could defeat them. There was only one that he gave a damn about and he had not seen him in so long. He shook his head at the memories and he lifted his head.

 

“I am Maec tr'Awnhi and I will see this putrid Aizen fellow.” He said as he let his raw power be felt.

 

Hollows understood power and he observed a blue haired Arrancar watch him warily. He also watched several others move. An elegant looking shinigami came forward and he appraised Maec with polite interest.

 

“I am Sosuke Aizen.” He said with a pleasant smile.

 

“You are the trespasser upon my territory. Well Soul Reaper it seems you have information and I will allow you to continue your little `kingdom'.” Maec retorted.

 

“I have heard of you Shouten. Please come and sit.” Aizen said with a small smile.

 

Maec held himself stiffly and he stared over at the green eyed Arrancar and realized he was a Vasto Lordes. He also realized this was the father of Nveid's adopted son.

 

“You have a Vasto Lordes here.” He said with narrowed eyes.

 

“I suspected that but thank you for confirming it. Please tell me what it is you have in mind.” He said leaning back and he called for tea.

 

“I demand you tell me what you know of a Tengu named Juria.” Maec said with eyes straining silver.

 

“Her name is Shihoin Juria. She is an oddity in that she is not ningen but formerly a youkai. I do not have direct knowledge of what manner of youkai but she was born into the Shihoin clan in Soul Society but she had demi-kami status.” He replied and picked up a tea cup when it was brought.

 

“She was Tomoshibi wraith called Sana Sahen and I killed her. Now she attempts to thwart me from her station. I will make her suffer!” The wraith king stated with hatred.

 

“Indeed? How very fascinating. What does this have to do with me?” Aizen asked pleasantly.

 

“You have ways of getting into this Soul Society I am sure and I do not. I want a way in.” He said coldly.

 

“I have ways hai.” He said nodding.

 

“She will suffer for taking what belonged to me!” Maec snarled.

 

Maec realized that he had seen the blue haired Arrancar before and he whipped his head around to the stare at Grimmjow. Aizen watched Maec with interest and the Shouten king stood.

 

“You and I it seems have a reckoning hollow.” He said in a deadly voice.

 

“Really fucker? Go ahead.” The Sixth Espada said in a nasty tone.

 

“Grimmjow! What does this Shouten refer?” Aizen asked pleasantly.

 

Grimmjow was brought to his knees and he gasped as his eyes widened. The reiastu was incredible and Maec realized that this Soul Reaper was no ordinary being.

 

“He and I battled once before when he interfered between me and my intended.” Maec stated in a nasty tone.

 

“You refer to Lady Asuna. Hai they have a child together.” Aizen said matter of factly.

 

“Really?” The Shouten said with anger dripping from his words.

 

“Fuck you!” Grimmjow snarled.

 

Maec suddenly kicked the Sixth Espada and he went skidding across the floor.

 

“Not so bad ass now are you little boy?” He thundered.

 

Grimmjow was snarling like a wild neko and Aizen was curious. The other Espada did nothing and Maec knelt near the prone form of the Sixth Espada. Maec let his kemuri flow and Grimmjow snarled out as he was burned terribly. Maec was in no mood to be merciful and sank his fangs into the beast's neck. The blue haired Arrancar was growing weak and Aizen was still crushing him under reiastu. Finally Maec pulled back and he released his hiebie in huge amounts. He walked away from Grimmjow and stared at Aizen.

 

“My you are a nasty bastard. I think we can reach an accord.” He said smirking.

 

“Hai.” He said inclining his head.

 

Ulquiorra said nothing and he waited until the Shouten and Aizen left the main audience room. He casually walked over to the Sixth Espada who was bad off. He knelt near him and stared at him dispassionately.

 

“You need attention.” He stated without.

 

“No fucking duh.” Grimmjow growled.

 

“I will take you to Yamasaki General now.” He said producing a garganta.

 

“Yeah and you gonna fuck your boyfriend while you're there?” The Sixth said trying to make an obscene joke.

 

Ulquiorra said nothing and he had to touch the foul mouth neko Espada. He took him to his mates' family and he intended to find Arturo Plateado. The other Vasto Lordes could shed some light on the Shouten. Ulquiorra had no time for the blood sucking ether beings.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Fourth Espada was deep in the desert and he was one of the few who knew where Arturo Plateado chose to dwell. He was hell bent he put it to make the shinigami suffer. He had been unable to retrieve his daughter from Matsuda Hibari and it was a tragedy in Ulquiorra's mind. He found the jade haired Arrancar standing over the body of a shinigami and he saw Ulquiorra.

 

“What do you want?” He demanded.

 

“There is a Shouten at Los Noches and Aizen-sama has seen fit to assist him.” The green eyed Espada explained.

 

“Why should I give a damn?” Arturo asked arrogantly.

 

“Because in this case it is dangerous to us Vasto Lordes and you are half Shouten.” He said bluntly.

 

“Which Shouten has your hakama in a twist Ulquiorra?” He asked almost amused.

 

“His name is Maec tr'Awnhi.” The Fourth Espada said dispassionately.

 

Arturo's eyes narrowed and he stalked over to the slighter male. His face held something akin to fury and he glared at him.

 

“What name did you say?” He asked.

 

“Maec tr'Awnhi. I observed him in my previous incarnation. He offended Ataru.” He said without tone.

 

“You have issues then if Maec tr'Awnhi is in Los Noches. If I deign to bother with this Espada then I want help in retrieving my child.” He growled.

 

“Done.” Ulquiorra said unblinking

 

Ulquiorra left and Arturo was shaking at the name in he had not heard in a very long time. He had winced and he had contemplated taking revenge upon Sanra tr'Awnhi for what she had done to Hibari but as usual the little strumpet had worked fast. He had heard the Shouten princess was quite dead. He knew where Hibari was but he could not get to his daughter she had named Reia. Anger and betrayal at her actions still went through him and he phased to Los Noches. He decided to observe and he could feel the immense presence of the being he despised almost as much as he did shinigami. What he did not expect was to be found immediately by the Shouten ruler. Maec stared at the jade haired Arrancar and his eyes perused his form.

 

“Why are you here?” Maec demanded.

 

“I should ask the same of you Shouten.” Arturo scoffed.

 

“Pardon? Shouten?” The wraith king asked in a glare.

 

“What should I call you, you filthy sorry bastard?” He asked with his thick accent.

 

“I did not kill your mother Arrancar.” He said in old anger.

 

“No of course not. You allowed that bitch you called a sister to do it for you. You allowed that cunt to destroy a decent soul. Because she was hollow did not make her filthy!” Arturo said as his powerful reiastu flared.

 

“How dare you speak to me as such!” Maec snarled.

 

“I will do as I dare. Watch your back. Someone I know killed Sanra tr'Awnhi and I applaud it.” He chuckled.

 

Maec lost his temper and he belted Arturo across the face. When he pulled his hand back; the Vasto Lordes was gone. The wraith king was shook up as this was one being that he could not dismiss. This was another one of his regrets. He sighed heavily and he phased back into the white palace that was known as Los Noches.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Arturo appeared at the in between in Southern Mongolia and he normally avoided Shouten settlements but he was angry. He sent a message to the Jings that he demanded to see Hibari. She appeared forthwith and he had to suppress his ardor. She was so fucking beautiful that it tore his gut. He suppressed his vicious anger and he watched her.

 

“What the hell are you doing here?” She asked in surprise.

 

He saw her stomach and he was surprised to see it swell. He could feel shinigami and a normal youkai within her. Hatred welled up in him and he calmed himself.

 

“Maec tr'Awnhi has been making peace with Sosuke Aizen in Los Noches. I thought I should tell you. I was quite impressed when you killed his bitch sister.” He said coolly.

 

“Why would you give a fig if I killed Sanra?” Hibari demanded.

 

“It does not matter onna. I thought to tell you. It is unacceptable to have the wraith king work with the shinigami filth!” He said spitting at the ground.

 

“Well you really do not like the Shouten considering you are half.” She said surprised.

 

“I am Arrancar. I kill Shouten.” He said with a curled lip.

 

“So why were you impressed I killed Sanra? She would have tried to kill my Reia.” Hibari said crossing her arms.

 

“Sanra tr'Awnhi killed my mother.” He said under his breath.

 

“Pardon?” she asked stunned.

 

“Hai. She killed my mother in a jealous fit. No one could touch her precious Maec and live. She had to deal with his queens but if he tried to escape her insanity; well it was no good.” Arturo said almost bitterly.

 

“Arturo? Are you the son of Maec?” She said shocked.

 

“Shocked? Well I assure you he knows all about me and he knows how much I hate him.” He said clenching his teeth.

 

“He saw Reia and he did not kill her.” Hibari said shaking.

 

Arturo whipped around and his hands were on her throat.

 

“He was near my child? You take her from me and you allow him within a foot of her?” He raged.

 

“I had just killed Sanra.” She growled.

 

Arturo had not touched her other then to defend himself and he stared at her gossamer gown of white gauze. His hand touched her arm and he stared at her face.

 

“Why did you betray me?” He growled out.

 

“I was not ready. You demanded more from me then what I could not do.” She said looking away.

 

“I loved you. I love my child and you ran as if I were evil. How dare you.” Arturo stated with a malicious look.

 

“I did not want to be mated and I sure as hell did not want to be tied to this wretched place. I am stuck now but you know what? I am okay now because I get to kick Shouten ass.” She said in anger.

 

“Good for you. You are as wretched as they. I hope you rot bitch.” He said trying to slap her.

 

She caught his hand in a powerful grip and he had been correct. Hibari had been powerful; she had been a pacifist when he first met her but this onna was something different. She was amazing and deadly as he stared at her in anger.

 

“I wanted to love you.” He hissed.

 

“I was not a possession Arrancar. I was my own person and I had a right to make up my own mind. You demanded that I follow your dictates.” Hibari said in a low growl.

 

“Because you carried my child! I had a right to demand something of you.” Arturo yelled.

 

“You harmed me when we first met and then you claimed me as if I was a possession.” She yelled back.

 

“Someday I will explain to my child why I did not have a hand in her life and I will make you suffer!” He said slapping her harshly.

 

She slapped him in return and his powerful aura flared. His bitter anger and his inability to best this female was making him insane. He went to slap her again and she caught his pale hand. He could feel her tremendous energies and his yellow-amber eyes flicked over his face. He jerked her to within an inch of his lips and he could feel her immense heat against his cooler skin.

 

“You make me hate you.” He said curling his lip.

 

Hibari did the unthinkable and she took his bottom lip and began to nibble it. She sucked on it and worried it until he pulled her flush. She loosened his wretched mask fragment and it slipped from her fingers as the old emotion and old passion coursed through them. She wrenched herself away and stared at him as he watched her. His chest felt constricted as he took her in.

 

“I killed your mother's killer. I killed your aunt.” She said in realization.

 

“Hai.” Arturo murmured.

 

Hibari felt as if she was falling into something but the knowledge that this being was the son of Maec stunned her. She stared at him and he just stared back at her.

 

“You still continue to deny what has occurred between us. You give some filthy shinigami a child but you deny me mine. You are a cruel bitch!” He said with his unusual accent.

 

Hibari got in his face and she pressed her nose to his. His eyes seemed cold as she was challenging him with her very presence. He had been attracted to her before but now it was maddening to him. Arturo grasped her shoulders harshly and she was suddenly very aware of every small movement and breath. She remembered when he had asked her to become his mate and she had thwarted him.

 

“Shut your whining up Arturo.” Hibari said completely pulling away.

 

He stared at her in fury and he phased away. He could not take her and his rage would destroy him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Iyo was watching the young Nveid sleep and she was smirking down at his lithe and sinuous skin. This Nveid had been rather young and very new to many things. Iyo was in heaven at being able to show him what he had in fact showed her. She was biting her lower lip and it was so good to be here with him. She decided he needed to be up and she carefully moved down his body. She used her tongue to tease the tip of his cock and he came awake instantly.

 

“Gods.” He whispered in a passionate tone.

 

“Really?” She asked smirking.

 

“I must have known it deep in my soul when I saw you as your corporeal self.” Nveid said shifting on the silk blankets.

 

“You think?” Iyo asked softly as she began to swipe the slit.

 

He arched harshly and his wife was wicked in delicious ways. His silvery-blue eyes were changing already and she had convinced him to come back. She had convinced him to take a crash course in their shared memories. She swallowed him and she loved to “worship his body” as she put it. Nveid was fisting her silver hair and she quickly brought him to climax and he jerked her up to his mouth. Their tongues clashed and he could taste his own release. Finally she fell back and he was staring at the ceiling and his breath was evening out.

 

“Where are we?” He asked.

 

“Soul Society.” She replied.

 

“Truly?” Nveid asked shocked.

 

“Hai. You cannot phase in but it does not mean you will burst into flames for being here silly. Kamis you are sexy.” Iyo smirked.

 

“Thank you.” He said blushing.

 

She smiled widely and she climbed into his lap. He gathered her to him and it felt good to feel her skin against his. His hands cupped her breasts and he stared at her face.

 

“When do we return? I see our sons in your memory and I wish to see them.” He murmured.

 

“Soon. I am enjoying being with you.” Iyo admitted.

 

“Do I see that we miscarried?” Nveid asked as he adjusted her.

 

He talked about them as “we” and tears glistened her eyes. She shut her eyes and Nveid's hands roamed her back.

 

“Hai we did. We decided to try later but things happened.” She murmured.

 

“Then now Iyo. Let us give our sons a brother or sister. I should like to have a big family. I come from a big family and I do adore many of my siblings.” He murmured as he leaned her forward so he could suckle a breast.

 

She leaned her head back and she could feel such intense joy. Speech left them as it became hard and so full of their passion and love. Nveid fell back exhausted and this reborn Tomoshibi left him speechless and utterly filled with joy. He had no other explanation. He was hungry and wanted real food.

 

“Shall we hunt?” She asked running a hand up his leg.

 

“Yes.” He nodded.

 

“No mortals.” Iyo said with a serious look.

 

“What? No mortals?” He pouted.

 

“Nope. We can feed from animals and so we shall. I used to be a vegan when I was a kumo and I sort of am again.” She chuckled.

 

“Gods you punish yourself.” Nveid said shaking his head.

 

“You married me.” She laughed.

 

He sighed and he felt like it was the most trying thing to give up. She phased them to the living plane and they were in Japan. She cocked her head to the side and she was surprised to see funnel webs.

 

“Wow! Those are funnel webs of a kumo youkai. Be careful. Those are the trip lines.” She pointed out.

 

“I can barely see them.” He murmured.

 

“Hai that is the point.” She laughed softly.

 

They made their way along and the forest was full of kumo webs. Iyo was surprised and she was curious of the era. She actually tripped a line and Nveid yelled. She was grabbed by a black funnel web and she actually managed to keep its massive fangs from sinking into her. Nveid was fixing to do something and she yelled at him not to.

 

-Please do not harm me or him. My name is Iyo. - She pathed.

 

The funnel web made a high pitched noise and it suddenly dragged her into its funnel. Nveid yelled and the funnel web changed form. She gasped when she saw who it was and the lithe, youthful face of General Ataru of the Tsuchigumo Kingdom stared at her.

 

“What are you?” He demanded in a very dull tone.

 

“I am a Tomoshibi.” She replied in utter shock.

 

His eyes were dark but there was sheen to them. He cocked his head to the side and he had been leery of different species since the bastard had shown up and upset his queen. Iyo heard his thoughts and she leaned forward.

 

“What bastard? Who do you mean?” She asked softly.

 

“He said his name was Maec. His presence was insufferable. Our jorogumo Asa herself sent me to tell my queen that he was evil.” Ataru said in a monotonous tone.

 

“Maec was here?” Iyo asked shocked.

 

“You know of this being?” he asked narrowing his eyes.

 

“He is a Shouten and I am Tomoshibi. We are both wraiths but the Shouten try to wipe out the Tomoshibi. We are known as the light wraiths. I am so glad to have met you General Ataru.” She said bowing her head.

 

“I did not tell you my name.” He stated.

 

“Oh.” Iyo said sheepishly.

 

“You have kumo eyes.” Ataru stated flatly.

 

“I must go. My husband is outside.” She said trying to phase out.

 

His hand grasped her wrist in an iron grip and she yelped. He was so strong and she felt conflicting energies from him.

 

“You are not full kumo!” She said in shock.

 

Ataru watched her face and he was surprised she could feel it.

 

“Who are you? Why do you have kumo features and how do you know I am not full kumo?” He asked in a dim tone.

 

“I was born a kumo but I was changed after my corporeal life ended. Please let me go!” She said getting agitated.

 

He watched her with deep curiosity and he released her hand. She was one of the few people who knew his secret. She went to climb his web and she climbed it like a kumo onna. He grabbed her hips and she stiffened.

 

“My mother is kumo. I do not know my sire as he raped her.” Ataru stated.

 

“By a kumori?” Iyo asked stunned.

 

“Hai.” He stated.

 

“Yet you are kumo dominant?” She asked.

 

“I have some things of those wretched beasts. I have two forms.” He admitted.

 

Iyo was stunned and shocked as he told her this and she could hear Nveid shouting.

 

“How do you keep him from getting in?” She asked in a fierce whisper.

 

“Easily. I will see you again Iyo.” He said releasing her.

 

Iyo was shaken and she climbed down slowly. She really looked at him and he had very soft markings on his face. His skin was not white but a normal, healthy color but he did have the same tear like marks. She realized they were his youkai heritage. She could not help it and she kissed him quickly. Ataru did not show surprise but accepted the kiss and opened his mouth. He deepened it quickly and she was shocked again. She jerked back and stared at him and he only blinked his strange eyes at her.

 

“I have to go.” She said shaking.

 

“Return later alone so that I may know more of these wraiths.” He stated.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

He let her go and there was something about this female. Her taste was exquisite and he intended to find out all she knew about these beings. He did not like this Maec and he would be damned if Lady Ayana ever faced the beast again.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Iyo let Nveid return so that he could get what he needed to return to the other era. She returned to the living plane to speak with Ataru. She found him in the palace at Matsuyame and she had only heard of this famed dwelling. He was clad only in a hakama with his short haori open to reveal his very lean chest and flat belly. Iyo blushed but she stepped in from the shadows and the silk curtains blew softly in the oppressive heat. Ataru looked over at her and his eyes were so dark green they looked black. They appeared pupil less like most kumo and she gulped. His body appeared of a very young man; almost like a teenager in a ningen. She knew his looks were deceiving and this being was deadly.

 

“I have returned.” Iyo said in a soft whisper.

 

“So you have.” He said in a muted tone.

 

He went to a side board and poured a healthy amount of sake and presented her with it. Iyo accepted and his fingers softly went over the top of her hand. She shivered and he watched her closely. She realized what an incredible observer he was and he was feeling her vibrations.

 

“You still feel kumo.” He replied.

 

“Maybe a little. Reborn wraiths it seems do not entirely loose their previous life. We just seem to gain all of the wraith abilities and the need to consume blood.” She replied.

 

“Like kumori.” Ataru stated dimly.

 

“Why not tell?” Iyo asked in a shaky tone.

 

“Kumori are filthy beasts.” He said with actual feeling.

 

“What makes you say that?” She asked gently.

 

“Because they are!” He growled.

 

“Sorry.” She said backing up.

 

“You are not responsible for my creation Iyo. Your creation interests me. You speak with education which leads me to believe you are of nobility and you have funnel eyes.” He stated.

 

Her breathing grew a little faster and she went to phase away. He grabbed her wrist and he held her steady. Ataru held her jaw and she was staring into eyes she had come to know so well.

 

“Tell me of these Shouten.” He demanded in a lack luster way.

 

“Some are quite nasty beasts. They can be deadly and they have amazing abilities. Their version of porting is called phasing. They actually manipulate their bodies and manage to rearrange the matter of their bodies wherever they wish within their abilities.” She explained.

 

“What is within their abilities?” Ataru inquired.

 

“This plane. It is referred to as the living plane but really it should be known as the corporeal plane. There is Hueco Mundo and then there is the other known as Soul Society.” Iyo shrugged.

 

“I have heard references to both of those places but not by those names. I am assuming that it is like an afterlife?” He asked with an arched brow.

 

“Hai sort of. This Maec fellow is a really nasty brute and he knows all sorts of things. He is actually my father in law but I do not deal with him.” She shuddered.

 

“You said married. How odd.” He murmured as he continued to run fingers up her arm.

 

His touch was practiced and he wrapped his hands around her shoulders. Ataru jerked her forward and she gasped. He scented along her neck and he used a claw to split open the bodice of the gown she wore. He could smell a sweet smell and it made him see red. He tongued her sternum and she groaned softly.

 

“You still release kumo smells.” He said in a hoarse tone.

 

“Hai.” She said shaking.

 

“You are funnel.” He said jerking her to him.

 

“Hai but…” Iyo said trying to get him to calm his beast.

 

“You are not an aggressive female. What is your color?” Ataru asked as he lifted her up.

 

His hands busied themselves with squeezing her bottom and kneading the flesh. His eyes had a strange mix of dark green and red.

 

“I was silver.” She said breathing harder.

 

“Alluring. You must have looked like a spirit. Lady Ayana would like to meet you. I want to take you.” He said flatly.

 

Iyo was shocked beyond reckoning and Ataru lost his head it seemed. He moved and she landed on her back on the bed. She was staring up at him in a profound lust and he ripped the gown from her.

 

“Ataru stop! I cannot do this. I love Nveid.” She whined.

 

“You were a kumo. You should be with your kind.” He growled.

 

“I am no longer kumo.” Iyo said and she felt something she had not felt in a long time.

 

Her eyes widened and her mouth went slack. Ataru had pierced her clit with his claw and Iyo had not been with a kumo male in a very long time indeed. Her back arched off the bed and she began to whimper out loudly.

 

“Kamis you are so lovely.” He whispered as she withered on his bed.

 

“So long. Forgot. Oh Kamis! I need…please…too much!” Iyo screamed out.

 

“You forget to breathe onna. Breathe in deeply.” He commanded.

 

She sucked in her breath and pleasure wound its way from her center out and she was shaking. Ataru leaned down and slipped his tongue into her mouth and she was lost. The explosion rocked her and he moaned softly. She screamed into the kiss as he pressed into her slippery core. He released her mouth and placed soft kisses to her cheek to her ear.

 

“So alluring. So soft. How can you be so soft?” He asked in her ear.

 

“Do not know. Oh Kamis.” She said loosing her mind.

 

“Iyo. Look at me onna.” He said in his deceptive voice.

 

She managed to look at him and his face was contorted in passion. He was a powerful male and it showed at the moment. He lifted one leg to rest against his shoulder and it allowed him deeper. She groaned and whimpered as he brought about multiple releases. Ataru was lost in this curious and luscious creature. He staved off his own ending several times and he touched every inch of skin and managed to have a completely kumo coupling. Iyo was passed out and he was staring at his ceiling. The sex had been fantastic but she was still a mystery. He stood up and dressed and he went to find his queen. He found Ayana in her study and she was tending state business. He bowed low before her and she looked over at her distant cousin.

 

“Hai Ataru? What is on your mind general?” She asked as she continued to read.

 

“I have made the acquaintance of a being in opposition to the one that showed his face here.” He said with respect.

 

That caught her attention and she stared at him. She watched him carefully and he waited for permission to speak.

 

“Please.” She nodded.

 

“There is an onna in my bed that I met. She is called a Tomoshibi but she was born a kumo. She will not tell me how she became this creature though.” He explained.

 

“A kumo who became one of these beings?” She asked shocked.

 

“Hai.” He said with a bowed head.

 

Ayana stood and she nodded to him. Ataru stood his full height and he led her to his chambers. His futon was surrounded by silk and Ayana stepped in. She saw a beautiful onna with wavy silver hair and she only wore a light blanket. Ayana looked over at Ataru and smirked.

 

“She carries young Ataru.” She said.

 

“She was already so my lady.” He said in a dry tone.

 

“I see.” Ayana said and she parted the silk curtains.

 

She sat down on the futon and Iyo instantly came awake. Her black eyes met the brown ones of someone she knew so well but was a stranger to her. Ayana was struck that she should know this woman and she instantly felt protective. Iyo was shaking and she stared over at Ataru.

 

“I am Ayana.” She said softly.

 

“I know.” Iyo said in a quivering voice.

 

“Ataru tells me that you were a kumo.” She said brushing silver hair out of her face.

 

“Hai I was my lady.” She said looking down.

 

“Please look at me my dear.” The jorogumo stated.

 

“Hai mam.” She said meeting the golden brown eyes.

 

“What is your name my dear?” She asked.

 

“Iyo.” She mumbled.

 

“Lovely name. Who is your mother?” Ayana asked.

 

“I cannot say my lady and I should not be here.” She said shaking.

 

“It is that again. You know about these Shouten?” She asked fingering Iyo's hair.

 

“Hai.” She said staring at Ataru.

 

“Maec said he was my enemy. Is this true?” Ayana asked.

 

“In a sense, hai mam.” Iyo mumbled.

 

“Please stay a few days and enlighten me on these creatures. You will be an honored guest. I imagine you were such a beautiful kumo.” She said standing.

 

“Thank you.” Her future daughter said blushing.

 

Ayana stood and she walked slowly out. She looked at Ataru as she passed and she slipped away. Ataru looked at the onna he had coupled with and Iyo immediately went looking for something to wear. He observed dispassionately and she felt dirty.

 

“Why would you alert her to my presence?” She asked in anger.

 

“She is my ruler and I owe her my fealty.” He shrugged.

 

“Well la-te-da!” Iyo snapped.

 

Ataru was instantly in front of her and his speed was frightening; even for a youkai. His fingers gently held her jaw and her temper flaring made him aroused.

 

“I am unsure why I found you so tempting. I control my appetites well but I do not wish to at the moment. Your scent is quite evocative and your breasts are sumptuous and when I tasted between your thighs it was as honeyed nectar.” He stated blandly.

 

Iyo stood there and her mouth dropped open. Ulquiorra was quite well educated but this little speech made her turn all shades of red and he used a claw to trace her lip. She stared at him and his eyes were simmering in passion.

 

“You think my family's clan name. How do you know it?” Ataru asked as leaned forward and licked her lower lip.

 

Iyo lost thought and she was lost in his actions and he pulled back.

 

“I do not know. I should go.” She said timidly.

 

“I can hear some thoughts quite well. Hai I have unusual tastes. I am not a typical male funnel.” He stated as he caused her to drop the blanket.

 

“Because of the kumori?” She asked dumbly.

 

“Perhaps. Hai I like the taste of blood.” He whispered against her mouth.

 

She gasped when he slipped his finger into her deeply. He was seeking and massaging to find her sweet spot and her former lover was an experienced person. He found it and she had to hold onto him as he curled his finger to massage it. Ataru watched her dissolve into mindlessness and it was a sight.

 

“Very beautiful. I wish for your climax. I wish to taste you again.” He said flatly.

 

Iyo was gripping his shoulders so tightly that they would bruise. Iyo fell over the edge and Ataru felt a gush of her release and it pleased him. He guided her back gently and he opened her thighs widely. He lazily sucked and lapped at her climax and Iyo was going insane. She was gasping harshly as she saw stars and he finally made it back to her lips. She hungrily pulled him down to her lips and he allowed her to ravish his mouth. He did not even object when she bit into his tongue. It made him mad with desire more and Ataru lined himself with her. He shoved himself into her hard and she snarled passionately. Whatever this was; it was so good. The physical feeling she invoked made him wish to loose himself and he distantly could feel something and he was trying to reach for it. Iyo gasped and she began to mumble no over and over. He clutched her thigh and dipped deeply into her soul. It was kumo and it was so familiar. Iyo felt a drag on her senses and he was again giving her his venom. He was reaching on her bond with Nveid and she was trying to sequester but in vain. The venom was powerful and she began screaming as a tremendous orgasm ripped through her mind, body, and soul. She knew without a doubt that Nveid would have been crippled wherever he was and he would be feeling this unimaginable pleasure as well. Ataru was shaking in his own massive release and he jerked himself back. She could see his eyes entirely red and he was growling. Iyo was trembling and she did see Nveid. He looked not angry but totally confused. Ataru had him pinned against a wall instantly and Iyo shouted out.

 

“What the?” Nveid asked trying to make sense of his predicament.

 

“We are not finished.” Ataru said in a beastly tone.

 

“What?” He said struggling.

 

“Stop! He does not understand! He is not kumo!” Iyo said jumping up and grabbing Ataru.

 

“We feel him through you. Why do we feel him?” Ataru asked in a quieter tone.

 

“This is my Shouten husband. We are bound. It is a very deep thing. Deeper then a telepathic mating.” She said trying to drag him off Nveid.

 

He stared at Nveid and found this being not unpleasant to stare at.

 

“We felt you. Did you enjoy what we did?” He demanded.

 

“Y-yes.” Nveid whispered.

 

“We want you to feel it again.” Ataru said in a husky way.

 

“Iyo?” Her husband asked.

 

“He is in his beast Nveid. You have my memories.” She said trying to get him to remember.

 

“Tsutomu?” He asked distantly.

 

“Hai.” She nodded biting her lip.

 

“His soul knows to.” Nveid groaned as the kumo general got brazen.

 

“Ataru! What are you doing?” Iyo asked shocked.

 

“We wish to feel it again.” He said suddenly licking along Nveid's neck.

 

She watched in surprise as Ataru slowly sank his fangs into the young Shouten prince's neck. Nveid'e eyes widened and he was shaking as he watched Iyo. It made him shake that another male did this. He was no stranger to duality but it had not happened to him. He saw his wife and she was just as shocked as he was. Ataru reached back and grabbed her and pulled her to him so she was flush to his back.

 

“Gods Iyo.” He moaned.

 

Ataru lifted his lips from his neck and Nveid realized that this man had just drunk his blood.

 

“You are shy.” Ataru said in a heavy voice.

 

“Not used to this.” Nveid said shaking.

 

“You are like that Maec creature.” He said running a claw along his throat.

 

“He is my father.” He said gulping.

 

“Ataru! Stop this!” Iyo said confused.

 

“I sense no darkness yet. She is light and it shines for you.” He said in a soft whisper in Nveid's ear.

 

The younger Shouten prince shook at his seductive voice. He knew this being became an Arrancar and he could not believe it. He did not touch him except with his mouth on his throat and it made him unbearably hard. Iyo was trying to pull him off and he finally allowed himself to be pulled away.

 

“There is something deep here creature. I know not what it is but we are tied and I assume through her. You are in need. Take your wife.” Ataru stated with sultry undertones.

 

Nveid stared at Iyo and she at him. Ataru stepped back and Iyo was suddenly under Nveid as he began attacking her mouth. He kissed her hard and phased his clothes away. Ataru watched the act of passion and he was entranced. He actually crawled over to the wraith couple and Nveid lifted his head. The kumo general began to kiss softly along Iyo's temple and cheek. It was so incredibly erotic what they were doing and Nveid was actually scared. This male was powerful and he was also very experienced. Iyo could feel Nveid's trepidation and she gently wrapped her hand around his member and he melted. His wife knew exactly how to touch him to make him a quivering mass. The kumo male seemed rapt as Iyo brought him pleasure.

 

“Manipulate the piercings.” She murmured to Ataru.

 

He got a lustful look and suddenly Nveid was on his back. Ataru was fingering one nipple piercing and Iyo saw the look of panic cross his face. She decided to go with this and she licked his inner thigh. His face was pensive and his wife ran her tongue along his member. Nveid hissed in pleasure and Ataru tugged on the gold. The two different sensations made him cry out and he was gripped in mind altering pleasure. Iyo took him in one long suck. Nveid shook wildly and his eyes were white. Ataru heard her path and he gave Nveid his wrist. He was desperate for blood and he sank his fangs into the proffered skin. It was explosive and everything became a blur. Iyo had never done anything like this and neither had Nveid. They ended up in the bed and Nveid was passed out. Iyo was not far behind and Ataru was watching her as she drowsily watched him.

 

“You shield your mind from me.” He stated in a soft tone.

 

“There is much I should not say.” Iyo mumbled.

 

“His father is trash.” Ataru said blinking.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“You give me pleasure.” He said lying across from her.

 

“Hai.” She whispered.

 

She passed out and he contemplated what it would take to keep these two in his sphere. He enjoyed them immensely and they were both so young and innocent. It seemed so silly really but they were good and kind. He was a dominant male and he had a tendency to commandeer and protect what he deemed his. He laced his fingers in hers and his other hand was across Nveid's stomach.

Maec was sitting with Aizen Sosuke and his two subordinates Ichimaru Gin and Kaname Tousen. He found them irritating and beneath him but he stayed silent. He was bothered by the Arrancar with green eyes and he found this bastard to be a bit too familiar. The Fourth Espada was silent but the nasty bugger radiated raw power. Aizen noticed Maec watching Ulquiorra and he motioned for his favorite Espada to come forward. Ulquiorra bowed and straightened.

 

“Hai Aizen-sama?” He inquired.

 

“He seems interested in you particularly.” Aizen stated with a half smile.

 

Ulquiorra said nothing and turned to Maec. It hit Maec where he had seen this being before and he leaned forward.

 

“You knew Ayana.” He said coldly.

 

“Who?” He said in a lifeless tone.

 

“Lady Ayana of the Spider Kingdom.” Maec stated holding out his hand.

 

“I am not aware.” He said putting his hands in his pocket.

 

Aizen watched closely and he could sense something not right. Ulquiorra was almost too casual and Maec was really angry.

 

“Do not fucking lie to me. Vasto Lordes always remember their lives. It is what sets them apart from their fellow Arrancar.” The wraith king said coldly.

 

Gin stared at Aizen as if to say, this is interesting.

 

“You are trash.” Ulquiorra stated without any emotion.

 

“So you do remember.” Maec stated with a sneer.

 

“Hai. I remember putting my katana to your throat. I should have liked to have slit it but alas my lady bid me no. Nveid was sweeter though.” Ulquiorra said in a rare long speech.

 

Maec stopped when Nveid was mentioned and Aizen settled in his chair and waited for the fireworks to begin. Gin had his infamous wolfish grin and the wraith king looked ready to split someone open.

 

“Nveid is dead. He perished in the attack on Astana.” Maec said in a cold whisper.

 

“Ataru knew Nveid. Knew him well enough to call him friend and love.” Ulquiorra said with equal cold.

 

“So you are a bisexual little nut hmm? Well I would not have pegged you for that. You touched my son?” He said letting the voiding shoki appear.

 

Ulquiorra knew this attack very well and he very casually took one hand out of his pocket.

 

“Ulquiorra!” Aizen called.

 

“Hai Aizen-sama?” The Fourth Espada said calmly.

 

“Go see to the other Espada.” He said.

 

Ulquiorra bowed and walked very casually out of the room. Aizen stared at the very pissed off Maec and he raised a brow.

 

“You do not like your children mingling?” He inquired.

 

“With him? Hell no! That beast is a monster and has motives beyond serving you Soul Reaper. He is here for his own ends and not for you. You kid yourself otherwise.” Maec scoffed.

 

“Very interesting indeed. I can get you into Soul Society tomorrow. It will take some stealth as they tend to keep an eye on me. Lady Asuna has turned a blind eye to me since she really does not like you.” He laughed.

 

“She does not like my son Raganos. She and I are something different. It is not your business. All I want is to make Sana suffer.” He said growling.

 

“She is not an ordinary being Shouten. She is said to have incurred the wrath of Izanagi himself. She has a mighty zanpakuto. Poor Gin here got the hell burned out of him the last time.” He smiled.

 

“I am quite aware of what the bitch can do. You worry how to get me in and I will worry about her.” Maec said in a sinister way.

 

Aizen just nodded and Maec quit the room. He needed real blood and he would a kill corporeal and watch the life drain from them. He phased into the living plane and he felt her. He felt her powerfully and he turned to see her. Her eyes were red and she looked down right feral.

 

“Oh goody. Another battle?” He asked.

 

“What did you do?” Asuna asked in angry snarl.

 

“No idea. I am just here to eat and I really did not want to see you.” Maec stated in annoyance.

 

She appeared in front of him and her hand wrapped around his throat. He rolled his eyes at her and he could see her hand shake just a tad. Maec knew something was off and he looked at her curiously.

 

“What did you do? I know you did something and I know I should remember but I do not! I am missing something. I am dying and you did something to me!” She screamed in his face.

 

“Oh please. Grow the fuck up you stupid, whiney bitch. We have fucked in the midst of our wonderfully hateful words and near kills of each other. I told you I am hungry and I frankly do not want to see you right now!” He said in a hateful tone.

 

“You stole from me! What did you steal from me?” She screamed in his face rather hysterically.

 

“I did not steal from you. Talk to Kaimei.” He said shoving her backwards.

 

He found the sight of her pathetic and emotional too disturbing and she was suddenly on him and she was hitting him with her fists. She had a deep sense of loss and it was emotionally crippling her to the point of recklessness. She smashed her fist into his face and he threw her off. She had begun to sob and he stared at her. She was feeling the loss of their child without having the memory. Maec crawled over to her and he grabbed her to him. He held her tightly to him and she was falling to pieces.

 

“You did this. You did this to me.” She said sobbing.

 

“No. I did not. I did not do it this time.” He muttered.

 

“Why do I feel this?” Asuna asked in agony.

 

“I do not know.” Maec lied.

 

Asuna wanted to curl up and fight but it the gut wrenching pain was unbearable. Maec tipped her head back and softly kissed her mouth once. He suddenly let her go and he stood up.

 

“I realize we will fight again and soon. See you around.” He said in a bitter way.

 

“Why?? Why can you not stop? She is dead! That whore is dead! You did not need her.” She asked as tears flooded her face.

 

“You are not that judge. She was still my sister and I was still her master. It was my call to say when she died and no one else's!” He said with malicious snarl.

 

“Fuck you! You make me sick! You did love her and you stole something from me!” She shrieked.

 

“Oh yes darling. I am the devil and you are a saint.” He said phasing away.

 

Asuna felt horrendous grief and she felt her heart breaking. She was sobbing in agony and it would not stop. She hit the grass with her fist and she kept hitting until she actually broke her hand and she could focus on something besides the pain in her heart.

Maec was back in Hueco Mundo and he was not used to dealing with these types of emotions. It rocked him to have seen his lost son Arturo. It was upsetting to hear about Nveid and it further upset him to see his obsession so distraught. It frightened him that he might actually grow a conscious and that thought disgusted him worse then anything. He saw a garganta that would lead into the one place he had never been. He walked through with the nasty looking bastard named Gin. It brought them to a really bright place that was sunshine and rather beautiful. Gin used shunpo and he was quick to follow the shinigami. Maec's eyes had already bled to silver and he was anxious to see her. Aizen was certain that she would be staying here for now and it was making him sick and giddy. He opened his awareness widely and a wicked smile came to his lips. It was so strong that he phased out quickly. He saw a golden haired beauty and she whirled in a semi-circle. Her eyes were an amber color and she narrowed them when she saw him. His face held hatred and hers surprise.

 

“Maec.” She whispered.

 

“Sana.” He snarled.

 

“It has been a long time whore. It seems you still cannot obey your king but no matter.” Maec stated in a testy tone.

 

“Oh you are no longer my king and I am no longer a wraith!” Juria stated with malice.

 

“You were a lousy one.” He laughed.

 

“One you wanted.” She said with anger.

 

“Before I saw her. I should have just killed you and kept her.” Maec said as he let a nasty looking sword appear.

 

Juria's eyes took on an unholy blaze and she stepped near him. Juria pulled her zanpakuto and she let her reiastu flow.

 

“Houka Sukai shounetsujigoku!” She snarled in rage at her enemy.

 

Maec met the immense blaze of burning reiastu and he let go a wave of pyroclastic ash shoki. Juria had to duck and fall to avoid being engulfed. Both beings were going at the other for one soul and for one life of lies and destruction. Juria was still protecting her child and Maec was determined to take.

 

“You will not have her Maec! I will not allow it!” Juria screamed in fuming rage.

 

“Sana you will not stop me. You had my babe killed by the fucking bastard Kaimei!” Maec hissed.

 

The look on her face was like a sucker punch to Maec and she saw it. She managed to sink her zanpakuto into his shoulder and he shrieked in pain. He swiped widely with his yoki blade and caught the side of her face. She growled but fell back. Maec jumped and phased quickly and she looked around in a panic. He was being sneaky and a shadowy thing walked forward and sank the invisible blade straight through her upper belly. Juria was in disbelief and she slowly sank to her knees. Maec stared down at her as he allowed his kemuri to flow along the blade and into her wound. She reached her hand back and she said an incantation quickly. A shot of blue energy went through Maec's neck and he yelped. Blood began to pour from the wound and it fell onto Juria.

 

“You will succumb first you stupid bitch. Remember that I will take her and I will have her completely. She is already starting to accept me Sana. She craves me now. She desires my touch and cries out for me when I join her body. You will not stop me from having my soul mate and I will bind to her!” He said slashing her face and throat wide open.

 

Juria gasped as more then just the hiebie entered her blood stream. Her veins were visible and they were raised on her face.

 

“Die for the last time bitch!” He said kicking her in the back.

 

She fell forward and she was trying to not only breathe but see. She began to have seizures and Maec laughed wildly. He phased out back to the garganta and he looked around at the place he had never been and decided it was place he could get used to.
