Taming Passions
Akemi sat on the steps that led to the garden. It was her Uncle Sesshomaru's pride and joy. He could be caught occasionally sleeping beneath various trees that he himself planted. He father was going to be arriving this evening to talk with her uncle about the Southern issue as it became known. She was growing anxious about the quiet but gorgeous neko prince. She really did not want her father here at the moment but it could not be helped. Daichi was never rude to anyone and he was unobtrusive. She had caught her uncle saying that he wished all his guests were this perfect. He stayed in the oak a lot and would stare south. She moved and stood beneath the tree and looked up. He was actually asleep and somewhat curled up on a large branch. She smiled at the sight and wished again he had not denied her. She sighed and moved back inside of the palace. Her father would frighten the timid neko if he had his way. She went to the kitchens and asked for a plate of venison and it was given to her. She preferred meat cooked but would not turn down any food. She brought the food back to the garden. She moved underneath the oak and called up to Daichi softly.
“Are you hungry?”
He opened one eye lazily and saw the meat and nodded yes. He stretched and Akemi had to control her ardor. Yes she wanted the neko male badly. He jumped down with his usual grace and smiled gently at her.
“Thank you.” He murmured as he took the proffered plate.
“I have not seen you eat in the three days you have been here.” She said sitting at the base of the tree.
“I eat small quantities.” He replied.
“Aw well the inu gorge themselves usually.” She replied.
He looked at her and nodded.
“I want to apologize for the other night.” He said softly.
“Why?” she asked confused.
“I am attracted to you but I should have contained myself better.” He said sighing.
“I wanted you to lose yourself.” She remarked looking at him.
“Thank you for the food.” He said quietly changing the subject.
She stood to leave then turned gently and ran her hand along his cheek. He looked surprised and rubbed his cheek against her hand instinctually. She could hear the strumming in his chest start and leaned forward and caught his lips. His hands still held the plate of venison. Her lips worked against his in an erotic dance of sensitive flesh. She alternately dove her tongue into his warm and inviting mouth or sucked softly on his lips. He kissed her back and the molten pleasure started to course through them both. She took the plate from him and pulled away and sat it down away from them for the moment.
“I…” he started to say when she caught his lips again.
She reached into his haori and undid the ties and opened it to his kosode. She then reached inside the cotton garment and ran her hands over his chest. She pulled away from his lips and kissed along his jaw. She reached up and caught the point of his ear gently between her thumb and forefinger and massaged it. He groaned loudly and she pressed open mouthed kisses to his neck.
“Kami you make me wild.” He cried softly.
“Please by all means go wild.” She cried hoarsely.
He pressed his body against hers and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He looked at her and growled low. An ache so acute had begun to grow and he was getting weak against it. His eyes had changed to mere slits again and he groaned into her ear when she ground herself against him. He cupped her breasts again and wanted to taste them but tried to maintain a shred of control. Akemi saw him fighting to maintain control and she took her hands and undid her obi. She had not bothered with under clothes and her breasts spilled out. He thumbs grazed the nipples and her breath became a soft hiss. He bent his head and caught a tightened nipple in his teeth and gently suckled it.
“Oh.” Akemi cried softly.
He looked up at her and she was panting. He raised his head and kissed her slowly and thoroughly. She unwrapped her legs from his waist and he looked at her confused.
“I wish to undress you right now. I think it would not do in such a public place. Do you agree?” she said in his ear.
“Hai.” He said shakily.
She straightened and redid her obi and picked up the venison. She jerked her head and made her way into the palace. She brought the food to his chambers with the neko hot on her tail. She slid open his shoji door and sat the venison on the low table. She shut the door and moved forward and finished undoing his kosode. She slipped off the two top garments and gently scraped his flat nipples with her own short claws. He grabbed a hand and took a finger into his mouth suggestively. His hands went to her obi and undid it again. The obi fell to the floor followed by the kimono. His eyes perused her form in a hungry and lusty gaze. His mouth went to her bare neck and he ran his tongue along her pulse point. She moaned softly and he dipped a finger between her nether lips and was met with a slippery and scorching wetness. He looked at her and claimed her mouth again. She was breathing faster and impatiently. Her hands went to his hakama and undid the knot. His eyes widened in surprise as she looked at him with undisguised lust in her own eyes. She slipped the rich silk past his hips and he closed his eyes and tried to breathe evenly.
“Lay down.” He whispered in her ear.
“Hai.” She obeyed.
“Are you sure of this?” he whispered.
“Hai. You have to ask?” she said breathlessly.
He nodded and gently spread her legs and lowered his lips to her center and ran his tongue up her slit and she cried out. Pleased with her response he spread her lips a little and licked her small bundle of nerves with his raspy tongue. Her hips came off the futon and she moaned out. He brought a finger to his teeth and bit off the tip of razor sharp claw and then inserted it inside of her. She cried out again and he lowered his head again and licked her and moved the finger inside of impossibly tight sheath. He repeated removing another claw tip and increased the fullness and pressure inside of her. He was determined to bring her to completion first and he knew she was close as she kept moaning louder and throwing her head side to side. He took her nub gently into his mouth and bit gently with his teeth then suckled it hard and she tried to scream but it came out noiseless. He felt wetness flood his hand and her tunnel tighten around his fingers. He brought his fingers to his lips and proceeded to lick them clean and groaned at her sweet and musky taste. He bent down and dipped his tongue into her belly button and slowly up her abdomen and licked a path to between her breasts. She watched him with hooded eyes as he took one turgid nipple into his hot mouth and swirled his tongue around it.
“Oh Kami.” She groaned.
He growled lightly and she moaned again. She reached down and gently ran a finger along his silken length and he stiffened. She looked on as his face contorted in pleasure and did it again.
“So soft.” She whispered.
He watched her as she grasped him and slid her hand up and down around his length He moaned against her breast and she arched her hips.
“Please.” She cried.
“Alright.” He breathed unevenly.
He lined himself up at her entrance and slid in her. Indescribable pleasure erupted in Akemi's brain and she moaned. He met her maidenhead and a panicked looked crossed his features.
“Just do it ok?” she begged him.
“Hai but it will hurt.” He said in his deeply soft voice.
She nodded and he snapped his hips and tore through her maidenhead. He stilled himself as he allowed her to adjust to his girth and the pain. She smiled up at him and he pulled out slowly and the same pleasure erupted in her loins again.
“How are you doing that?” she groaned as he moved within her.
“What do you mean? I am not hurting you am I?” he stopped as he asked her in concern.
“No do not stop.” She cried.
He moved against her again and pulled out slowly and pushed in again. The pleasure mounted each time he withdrew and she nearly came undone right then.
“That. How are you doing that?” She cried out again at the intense pleasure.
What she was referring to dawned on him and he smiled down at her. He moved in and out of her just a little faster and he gave into the amazing feeling. He kissed her and she kissed him back fiercely. Her responses were exhilarating and he shifted slightly within her and she accidentally bit his tongue. She tasted his blood and groaned into his mouth. He reached between their joined bodies and skimmed a knuckle over her nub and she bucked her hips against his and he moaned. She met his thrust again and they were both dissolving into the euphoria. She began to tighten around him and Akemi was gasping. Each time he pulled out the pressure in her loins grew and she was close to losing her mind. All of a sudden the pressure exploded in blinding intensity and tightened almost painfully around the neko prince. Her own release brought on his and he snarled almost savagely as he tried to pull out but she wrapped her legs around his waist. He spilled himself in her and physically shuddered, her sheath continued to tighten and milk him of everything. He wrapped his lips around her juncture but kept himself from marking her. His fangs had lengthened and they barely nicked the skin. Akemi's breathing was erratic as was his and he collapsed and he listened to her wildly beating heart.
“Thank you.” She whispered into his ear.
He looked at her sleepily and smiled gently and kissed her. She ran her fingers through his soft and silken hair. He slowly pulled out of her and she hissed in pleasure again. She looked at him in askance and he smiled again.
“If you had not been so well prepared then I would have hurt you.” He said quietly.
“That did not hurt, that was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced.” She whispered.
He blushed and looked away. She turned his head and kissed him slowly and he groaned again.
“You love physical touch do you not?” she said as she massaged the tip of his ear.
“Hai.” He groaned.
“Inu love to touch but I think neko have them beat.” She smiled wickedly.
“Hai. Kami I love it when you touch me at all.” He cried softly.
“I would stay here and make love to you all day but my father is coming to see my uncle about your situation and I really like you an awful lot so I am going to pretend we are just friendly.” She said wistfully.
“Your father he is that protective?” he asked surprised.
“I am his only daughter and his youngest pup.” She said.
“I had better let you up then.” He said seriously.
“Lord Sesshomaru will want you in the study after my father arrives.” She said stretching.
“Hai.” He said as he watched her nude form.
He leaned down and caught a nipple in his mouth as he did earlier and swirled his roughened tongue around it and she cried out. He let go of it with an audible pop. He stretched next to her and wrapped a hand around her waist.
“Take a short nap with me?” he asked lazily.
“Hai. I can do that.” She yawned.
He tangled his legs with hers and fell asleep.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I was in the dojo with my mate and we were finishing our sparring. My wounds had completely healed. When Sheng saw them I felt his intense hatred of his former lord. I dismissed it and went on about my business. He was sweating and looking at me like I was a small boar or something else as succulent. He was switching his katana back and forth and I grinned at him.
“I thought we were finished my heart.” I said.
“No not just yet.” He said with a predatory gleam.
“You are stalking me. Shall I be afraid?” I whispered.
“Hai.” He said throwing his katana across the floor.
He came to me and took my own sparring katana and threw it as well. He picked me up and my legs went around his waist. He exposed my throat and his mating mark and bit down. I cried out and squirmed beneath him. He licked his way to my ear and I gasped.
“I am ready to see you grow heavy with my pup again.” He whispered huskily.
“How many do you want my love?” I whispered hoarsely.
He tore the silk of my hakama and I knew he intended to take me here. His dominance was getting me slick already and I moaned his name.
“I want a large family if that answers your question.” He said freeing himself.
“You do intend to take me here.” I said my eyes flashing red.
“Hai and make you scream but I know you will not but I can try.” He said feral.
I was ready when he slid into me hard. I gasped at the sudden fullness and I did not have time to adjust to his quick thrusts.
“Kami.” I groaned.
“Hai!” he cried.
I held on as he continued to thrust into me and I was quickly thrown over the edge but he did not stop. He pushed me against the wall and started massaging my clit and he pressed his yoki against mine. I did scream his name and nearly passed out when I came again. I was gasping and he finally stiffened and spilled into me. I was trying to catch my breath and he claimed my mouth. I moaned again and managed to put my feet to the wooden floor. His eyes were burning red and I wondered at his intent.
“You are close to your heat.” He said as buried his nose into my neck.
“You intend to take me several more times do you not?” I asked hoarsely.
“Hai.” He said in a rough voice.
“Would it not be better if we were on our own futon?” I asked him.
“Hai.” He said stripping out of his haori and wrapping it around me.
I smiled at his raging lust and knew I would not be able to move for awhile. I laughed when he picked me up and carried me to our chambers.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I was sitting in the spring getting cleaned up from my numerous rutting with my delicious mate. Mayu had been afraid that I had been hurt in the dojo and I had to spill my guts to reassure her. My cousin wandered into the spring and I grinned at her as the mingled scents caught my attention.
“You conquered him.” I observed.
“Hai. Asuna it was amazing and wonderful and I hurt like the seven hells.” She said stripping and joining me.
“He was gentle I hope.” I said leveling her a stare.
”Hai. The servant's tongues have been wagging saying that you screamed Sheng's name in the dojo.” She said smiling.
“Hai he was in an amorous mood.” I said grinning.
“Oi where's my daughter?” we heard someone else.
“Uncle Yasha has arrived.” I commented.
“Hai. Kami he is loud at times.” Akemi said blushing.
“Finish cleaning everywhere.” I commanded.
I got out of the spring and dried myself quickly and put on a sleeping yukata. I moved quickly to the door and slipped out and ran face to face into my uncle.
“Where is Akemi?” he demanded.
“Bathing Uncle Yasha.” I answered.
“Tell her to hurry up.” He commanded.
“Uncle I think it would be a wiser course to meet with your brother in his study first. He is expecting you and I will bring Akemi to you when she is done.” I said calmly.
“I will meet with my Lord Stick up His Ass brother when I have seen my daughter!” he growled.
“Uncle Yasha may I remind you that as your favorite niece you offend me when you speak of my sire as such.” I said getting irritated.
“Asuna quit the damn double talk and bring me my daughter. I didn't want her living here in the first place. Kags wanted it so I gave in; I want to make sure you all don't turn her into an ice princess!” he growled.
“YOUR daughter feels more at home here than in a ningen village. YOUR daughter is feeling the hatred of the outside world and we can shelter and protect her here.” I snapped.
“Keh, we will talk later!!” he snapped as he pushed past me.
Akemi slipped the screen door open and looked at me with tears in her eyes. She hugged me and I wrapped my arms around her. I was only nine years older than her but I felt highly protective of her.
“Come let us get you dressed so you can face your father and lover, alright?” I said wiping away a lone tear.
We went back to my chambers and the twins were on a blanket on the floor cooing and smiling. Sheng was making silly faces at them and Hiroto was laughing hysterically. I smiled down at Kazuo and he smiled up at me with his chubby cheeks. I swooped down and gave them both kisses. I looked at Sheng and smiled and he returned it. I went to my armoire and pulled out a formal kimono for Akemi of thick silver satin. There were larks depicted on the back and it came to the floor. I motioned for my cousin to sit and I started twisting her hair into an intricate chignon. I added ebony and jade combs to hold it in place. Her blue eyes stood out and I noticed that her ears were pointed slightly. She was lovely and I handed her the kimono and she took it and went to the other room to change. I slipped off my yukata and pulled out a haori and hakama set that was also silver. It was silk and plain with no motifs. I pulled out a black obi and dressed quickly. Sheng was admiring my body and let me know with lewd thoughts. I looked over my shoulder at him and smiled. I slipped my fang into the obi and slipped on a pair of geta. I walked into the other room and Akemi was a vision and I bowed to her. She smiled and I knew the neko prince was going to drop his handsome mouth.
We walked quietly to the study and I slipped open the shoji door. I heard my father speaking with an ill temper but all talk stopped when Akemi entered the room. I smirked and caught my father's citrine eyes and he looked pleased. My uncle had his mouth hanging open and Daichi stared openly.
“Uncle Yasha an insect may settle in your mouth if you do not shut it.” I said.
My father barked a rare laugh and I settled on a cushion and Akemi followed suit. Daichi could not take his eyes off her and Inuyasha started growling.
“Half breed silence your voice now!” my father snapped.
My uncle looked royally pissed off but kept his mouth shut.
“As this Sesshomaru was saying; the intelligence has arrived and there is a swarm of bat youkai from the peninsula that is invading the south. You have dealt with the bat youkai that are native to the islands Inuyasha. We shall seek their assistance as well. This breed is different and drinks blood. This Sesshomaru is asking his heir and mate to attend the army as well. Is this all clear?” my father said to all.
“Since when do you order me jack ass!” Inuyasha fumed.
“Father!” Akemi snapped.
My father stood and put a hand to Bakusaiga and growled terribly. Daichi kept calm but looked extremely uncomfortable. Akemi stood as well as I and we stood between our sires.
“You are a son of this House if you like it or not half breed and this Sesshomaru is Lord!” he snarled.
“Father.” I said quietly.
He looked at me and he calmed down. His hand dropped to his side and he nodded to me. His face became impassive again. He slipped out from behind his desk and left his study.
“Uncle Yasha you said you would assist him if he ever called on you!” I snapped.
“Yeah well he can ask instead of order.” He snapped back.
“Father please!” Akemi grabbed his arm.
“My father is right. You are the second son of the Inu no Taisho. Would you please help your sire's house?” I asked in a calm voice.
“Hai!” he snapped.
“Thank you Uncle.” I said sitting.
“So who is the neko brat?” he asked in anger.
“He is Daichi. He is the second son of the Lord of the South; Hikaru.” I said introducing the young neko.
“Hn.” Uncle Inuyasha grunted.
Daichi bowed and sat back down and said nothing. He looked at me and I nodded.
“Yeah you can quit staring at my daughter you fucking neko.” Inuyasha snarled.
“Uncle Inuyasha you may leave right now. He is a Lord's son and your daughter looks lovely. I will take no more abuse of this house's guests.” I said standing.
He came up to me and smacked me. I stared at him in horror and felt blood well up where a claw had caught the skin.
“You will not turn her into some aristocratic bitch. She will not look down her nose at anyone or anything.” He said angrily.
“I can speak for myself father.” She yelled at him.
“Why would you do this?” he asked her accusingly.
Daichi stood and I could feel his ire rising.
-They have to work this out. He will not harm her. - I pathed to him.
He looked at me and nodded.
“I look more youkai than I do ningen. No one out there will accept me. You have mother and the twins look like her. What do I have? I look like my honorable father who wishes me to share the fate that he did when he was young!” She cried.
My uncle pinned his koinu ears to his head and he looked like he had been socked in the stomach. I realized that Akemi was my uncle's favorite and he was having a hard time letting her grow up.
“I am sorry. I never knew; why did you not say anything?” he said grabbing her and hugging her.
“What was I to say? They called me dirty blood. I know the pain you felt growing up because it is what I feel!” she cried.
“My poor girl.” He said hugging her tightly.
“Will you come with me Lord Daichi?” I said formally.
The neko and I exited the study and gave father and daughter time alone. I was going to have to speak to my own sire but waited until the scratch on my cheek healed. My own father would go into a rage and attempt to murder his brother.
“There is deep resentment between the two brothers.” I explained.
“I understand. I just did not want her hurt. I am fond of the lady.” He said in his quiet way.
“How fond?” I asked arching a brow.
“She has made me feel welcome. She is an amazing onna.” He said looking away from me.
“She is fond of you also. I will see to it that she travels with us south.” I said.
“No!” he said looking at me.
“Why not? She is quite excellent with a bow and has many spiritual powers. Purified bat sounds good to me.” I said lightly.
“I would not see her hurt is all.” He said quickly.
“She has saved my back before.” I said honestly.
“These beasts took down my father my Lady. He is truly a powerful youkai and they took him down.” He said seriously.
“I am half blood drinker myself Daichi. My mother is an Uppyr from Russia. That is why my father asked us to come.” I said.
“I still would rather she stay where she is safe.” He said stubbornly.
“I will leave the decision to my cousin.” I said walking away.
I walked to the gardens and spotted my father beneath a foreign elm tree. He had his eyes closed and he was meditating. I sat patiently until he acknowledged me.
“The situation has been rectified?” he asked calmly.
“Hai.” I said.
“The half breed has agreed to accompany you and your mother?” he asked.
“Hai.”
“I have a need to kill something.” He stated flatly.
“I will see to the arrangements while you hunt?” I asked.
“Hai.” He answered.
“He was upset over Akemi my Lord.”
“I care not. Your mother is pupped.” He said flatly.
“You are worried for mother.” I said looking at him.
“Hai.” He said sitting.
“She has birthed three pups father.” I said confused.
“She has lost more than you know.” He said staring off in the distance.
“She wanted to have another?” I asked sitting next to him.
“Hai. She begged me and like a fool I gave in.” he said in a chilly voice.
“What exactly has you so worried?” I asked concerned.
“She does not look well. She can barely rise and has been bleeding like the last time.” He said miserably.
“She has not already lost the pup?” I asked surprised.
“No. You and Osamu nearly killed her.” He said looking down.
“Shall I speak with her?” I asked worried.
“Hai. Convince her to let the healer end it. I do not want to lose my mate!” he snarled.
I nodded and I stood. I had no idea what had been going on and my father was a wreck. I had never seen him scared and that was saying quite a bit. I went to their shared chambers and knocked on the door.
“Enter.” She called.
I slid open the door and the scent of blood assaulted my nose. I came and sat by the futon and she smiled up at me sweetly.
“My sweet girl what brings you here?” she asked.
“Father told me of the pup.” I said taking her hand.
“He worries too much.” She snapped.
“He loves you.” I said gently.
“He wants me to end the pregnancy and I will not do it.” She snapped again.
“Mother, I have never seen him scared and he is frightened.” I said.
“I will not kill a child of mine while I breathe. Can you understand that?” she begged of me.
“We are afraid that you will not breathe anymore.” I said.
“I will not kill my pup! Do you understand me?” she snarled.
“I understand Mother but is there nothing we can do to try and help you?” I said fearfully.
“I know of no way my sweet girl but I will get stronger. I almost bled to death with you and
Osamu and you were birthed fine.” She said smiling weakly.
“That is not reassuring. How is it that you are not like other Uppyr?” I asked.
“I saw your father and wanted nothing else in my long life than to share it with him. I loved him the first moment I saw him after Magatushi was killed.” She said smiling wistfully.
“I thought it was Naraku that captured you and tortured you.” I asked surprised.
“Yes and no. Magatushi was around because of Naraku and yes he had captured me but it was Magatushi borrowing flesh from Naraku that actually tortured me and tried to get to your father.” She said.
“I see. We are going to find away to make you well. Have no doubt. You must promise me that this is the last attempt for a pup, please promise me.” I said pleading.
“Hai! I promise.” She said taking my hand.
I left her chambers and my mind was whirling. Naraku had not tortured my mother. He had not done the horribly evil things that I had that he had done. I was shaking with this new knowledge and I wanted to see him. I had much to do and I did not think I could make it to Mount Hakurei-zan and back without raising alarms to my absence. I hit a wall and cursed. Damn him why could he not trust me? He needed to know I was going south anyway. I had to think and get to him.
I wanted to throttle him. He was trying to make me hate him. I went to my chambers and dropped kisses on the twins and smiled at them.
“Mayu I have to leave for one full day. My father is hunting. I am going to try and quickly find an answer for my mother.” I said in a half truth.
“Hai my lady. I shall let your mate know.”
“Try and keep Uncle Yasha and Father apart. They are both in turmoil right now.” I stated.
“Hai!”
I kissed my pups again and left the palace quickly. I transformed to my natural form and took off in a full run.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I was sniffing at the entrance of the cave at the crumpled mountain. I caught a very trace scent and I whined hoping he would hear me. I wondered if was even here. I barked loudly and my hanyou lover came out. He looked up surprised to see me in this form.
“Asuna?” he asked in shock.
I lowered my head and sniffed him and he looked irritated at me. I decided to make him angry and I licked him. He glared up at me and I transformed back to my humanoid form. I crossed my arms across my chest and stared at him glacially.
“What irks you my beautiful inu?” he asked amused.
“Why do you want me to hate you?” I asked angry.
“Hate is such an easy emotion.” He said smoothly.
“You did not torture my mother, Magatushi did. Why would you let me think you hurt her?” I asked searching his maroon eyes.
“I tire of the conversation.” He said coldly.
“I am going south to Nagasaki. There is a horde of bat youkai from the peninsula. The Southern Lord needs the West to aid him.” I stated.
“I could not really care.” He said disdainfully.
“You took care of me after my stupidity. Why do you not trust me? Why can you not share the truth with me? Why do you want my hatred?” I asked him in a heated voice.
“Come inside you fool!” he snapped.
I followed him inside and we went deep into the bowels of the mountain. He whirled on me and pushed me against the cave wall. There was a sharp jagged rock and he forced my palm against it and it started bleeding. I looked at him in anger and he brought the palm to his mouth and lazily lapped at the blood. I could not figure out his motives for making me bleed.
“Why do wish for me to hate you?” I asked in anger.
“Like I said hate is an easier emotion.” He said.
“You are a coward.” I sneered.
“Am I now?” he asked narrowing his eyes.
“Yes and a bastard. I should have let you die for that cursed trinket. You cannot expect me to keep giving of myself to you. You are honest and open one second then hateful and a liar the next.” I seethed.
“This is just lust anyway my little inu. The rutting has been phenomenal; addictive really.” He said sarcastically.
I spit at him and snarled. He had wanted me to hate him and it was working. I worked my hand free and slashed his face with my claws. He looked amused and the thought that he had used me for my body took hold in my brain. I saw red and snarled at him.
“Bastard. You are a worthless half breed!” I yelled.
“Hai I am. Now you can go.” He said dismissing me.
“You do not dismiss me.” I said hissing.
I was determined to hurt him somehow and I pressed my body against his and bit into the mating mark savagely. He cried out in pain and I used the opening to press his mind. I was looking for a weakness in his shields and he fought me. He did not realize that I rivaled him in mental abilities and pressed my yoki down heavily on him. He actually gasped and his breathing became heavier. I forced my way into his innermost thoughts. He still maintained a modicum of control but I managed to crack open some of his feelings.
“Stop!” he roared.
-NO! - I thundered in his head.
His eyes were wide open and I withdrew from his mind. I stepped back from him and shook my head to clear my thoughts. I looked at him and tears actually stung my eyes. He looked beyond furious and I turned from him.
“You always underestimate me.” I whispered.
“How dare you.” He snarled at me.
“How dare you.” I snarled back.
“You invaded my mind you uppity bitch.” He snapped grabbing my wrists.
“You love me, why would you push me away?” I said searching his face.
“Did not that same wistful emotion not almost destroy you before? You are a deluded fool to think I would let myself be brought so low and by an inu no less.” He said disdainfully.
“That is not what you think is it Naraku? You war with yourself the same as I. Is it the ningen in you? The idea of loving a youkai is so distasteful?” I said angrily.
“Go to hell.” He said backing away from me.
“You are hanyou, and you are letting your ningen side dictate your feelings? It was that same side that chained itself to a miko!” I snapped.
“You know nothing!” he snarled.
“I love you. I can admit that.” I said.
“You cannot so leave it alone.” He said dangerously.
“Fine Naraku. I am the filthy one or should I say Onigumo?” I said taunting him.
He slapped me so hard it actually sent me reeling. I landed on the floor and I tasted blood in my mouth. It appalled me that his ningen side hated me so much. The demons that had merged and became Naraku loved me. I laughed at the irony of the situation. I moved away from him and stood up.
“I am done with you, do you hear me? I will not be judged or hated by some mere ningen. I will not involve myself with something that detests me but loves the sex. I am not your whore.” I said furiously.
“Are you sure?” he said maliciously.
I walked away from him toward the entrance and dug my claws into the rock, it melted under my Dakkasou and it felt as though my heart was twisting in pain. I straightened myself and contained my emotions. He grabbed me from behind and held onto me.
“Unhand me.” I said coldly.
“No.” he said softly.
“You have done your magic again. You have managed to fool even me. Now unhand me.” I said even deadlier.
“I will not.” He said.
“I will change and tear you limb from limb.” I threatened.
“I do not listen to that part of me. It is the same for you and your different halves is it not?” he said calmly.
“Hai but I do not go around seeing how to destroy your life!” I said emphatically.
“When you first came to me, you were hurting terribly for that inu trash.” He whispered harshly.
“Whatever.” I snapped at him.
“I do not like confrontation and you continually do it. Our relationship has been comfortable.” He said.
“Stop!” I demanded.
“I have never been one to be happy as you say.” He said kissing my neck.
“You are all over the board again.” I said shaking.
“Making you hate me has been easier so that when you will have to make a choice between me and your family. You will choose your family.” He whispered against my ear.
“You want me to choose them over you?” I asked confused.
“Hai it confuses me too. I cannot bring myself to see harm come to you.” He said sucking on my ear lobe.
I moaned under his soft caresses and wanted to melt. He was telling me his feelings honestly and I was torn even more.
“I do not understand.” I said wretchedly.
“I do not either.” He kissed my neck again.
“I cannot do this right now.” I said anguished.
“You are right. I have underestimated you. You are more powerful than I ever thought.” He said huskily.
“I have a campaign to manage and other personal matters to attend.” I said my voice shaking.
“I will say it, I love you. I do not understand these feelings but I will admit them to you.” He said as he ran his tongue along my jugular.
“Do not tease me Naraku.” I said warily.
“No I will not; but I will not have you have any illusions about me.” He said nipping the vein.
“I have no illusions.” I said.
“What is your delicious scent?” he asked in a deep voice.
“I am entering my heat.” I said closing my eyes as his fingers skimmed over my nipples.
“I see.” He said untying my obi.
“I cannot right now.” I breathed heavily as his hands reached inside of my hakama.
“I probably should stop.” He breathed in my ear.
“Hai.” I said closing my eyes tight as he touched my center.
“Kami you are so wet and tight.” He groaned into my ear.
“Hai. I need to go now or I will mount you till I scream.” I said in a pained voice.
“The latter sounds better of the two.” He murmured.
“I cannot be pupped right now!” I said fiercely.
“I can control myself in that regard my beautiful Asuna.” He said then sank his fangs into my jugular.
My mind reeled and I felt utter ecstasy. He had just marked me and I had let him. He untied my haori and slipped my bottoms down. He was going to take me and I prayed he had enough strength to pull away at the last minute because I was awful at it. He lifted me up and I slid down his length. We both hissed and I closed my eyes as he moved within me. He touched my face and I opened my eyes and he lowered his shields some and let me in. I gasped and I felt his true self. I was staring him in the eyes and our yoki began to mix.
“Kami Naraku.” I gasped.
“Hai. I feel it too.” He moaned.
We both were feeling an indescribable euphoria and he started to move quicker. His eyes held something and I had to throw my head back. I gouged his shoulders and cried out as our mixed yoki washed over us. I came quickly and his face contorted and he was close. I knew he was trying to prolong the act but the wash of power was too great. He pulled me off him put his head on my shoulder as his own orgasm overtook him. He shook and my respect for him grew. He had kept his word to me again.
“What is that?” he asked overwhelmed.
“I am not sure.” I said breathless.
“You must go. I will not be able to control myself again.” He said.
He captured my lips and I pulled him to me. I tore myself away first and straightened myself up.
“I need some of your miasma.” I said.
“Why?” he asked curiously.
“I am going to use it to save an unborn sibling.” I said.
“You have a container?” he asked.
“I brought a pot. Will that hold it?” I asked.
“It should.” He said looking down at me.
I pulled a very small pot out of my hakama and I opened it and he inserted a few fingers and released the noxious substance from his claws into the pot and I corked it.
“You are going to use it as a disinfectant?” he asked curious.
“I am not sure. I am going to use my Dakkasou and this. My mother is pupped and my father is very distraught. She has lost several pups already and apparently she nearly died having my twin and me.” I said looking away.
“I will hope for you that it works.” He said.
“What have you done with yourself? You are almost nice.” I commented.
“As always I am drained after my time with you.” He said tiredly.
“I am able to channel Sheng's yoki as well as my own.” I said.
His eyes hardened at the mention of Sheng but he listened.
“You think you may be stealing my power?” he said surprised.
“Not stealing, channeling.” I said brushing his bangs away from his eyes.
“There is a difference?” he asked annoyed.
“Yes. These abilities are my uppyr half Naraku. I am still learning to control them.” I said.
“Please learn quickly, I enjoy being joined to you but not the exhaustion.” He snapped.
“Hai.” I said sheepishly.
He kissed me lightly and I moaned.
“Have you thought to channel my yoki?” I asked.
“It is a thought.” He said.
“Alright then. I have no idea how long I will be gone.” I commented.
“I have my ways of finding you.” He murmured.
“I will be battling a lot.” I said smirking.
“Then I shall be around to make sure you do not fall ill.” He said running his claws through my hair.
“Why does your ningen half hate me so?” I asked.
“It is not something I wish to discuss.” He said.
“Do not shut me out please.” I said.
“Go and help your mother.” He said absently.
“Hai!” I turned and left.
I changed into my energy sphere and went back to the palace. I kept a hold of the small pot and a plan had formed in my mind. I was going to seal my mother's womb closed. When her time came I would have the healer cut the pup out of her belly. It was the loss of blood that caused her problems. I made it to her chambers and masked my scent heavily. I knocked and I entered her room. My father sat next to her on the futon and I nodded to him.
“I may have a way of saving her and pup but I need you to trust me.” I said in a quiet voice.
“I trust you.” He said.
“Alright, I need you to leave.” I replied.
“Asuna!” he snapped.
“Father I need you to trust me.” I repeated.
“Hai.” He said warily.
He slowly went to the shoji door and left. I could tell he was full of apprehension. He loved her the way I loved Sheng. I sat by her head. I leaned down and whispered in her ear.
“I need you allow me access to your womb. I may be able to save the pup and you.”
“Hai.” She said weakly.
I hated what I was about to do but I figured that her womb may not be closed all the way and that was the cause for the bleeding. My mother fed off the blood of other creatures and could not keep up with the blood loss.
-Sheng, I need you to keep my father out of his chambers and get Inuyasha if need be. My mother is going to scream loudly.-
-What is going on? - He thought to me.
-She is pupped and bleeding from the womb. - I thought back.
-Oh Kami. - He thought.
-Hai, can you keep my father out?-
-I am getting Osamu too. - He replied.
-Thank you.-
“Mother this will hurt terribly but I think it is the only chance.” I whispered in her ear.
“Just do it my dear daughter.” She said weakly.
I dipped my claws in the miasma and let the Dakkasou seep to the tips. I entered her vaginal canal and felt her opening and it was indeed open a little. I pushed my claws into the skin and she screamed an unholy scream. Tears stung my eyes at hurting her.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
“My lord we cannot allow you to pass.” Sheng said in fear for his life.
Sesshomaru's eyes were blood red and he was in danger of changing. Inuyasha had drawn Tetsaiga and Osamu stood between his brother-in-law and uncle.
“Get out of the way before you all are gutted!” he snarled.
“Asuna would not hurt her mother.” Osamu spoke.
“She screamed.” He said snarling again.
“Father listen to us. Asuna asked that we keep you out. Mother will die before she rids herself of a pup. Let Asuna help her.” Osamu said calmly.
-Osamu allow Father in please. - I pathed to Osamu weakly.
Osamu nodded to our sire and I felt my father's yoki surge. He threw open the shoji door and I lay across my mother's chest. I had allowed her to drink a large amount of blood. She had pierced the same area as Naraku had at my behest and I covered up his mark. She was breathing evenly and much color had returned to her cheeks. I had also figured that my blood held a lot of power in it and that would help her also. My father leaned down and saw her breathing and turned to me. I smiled weakly and promptly passed out.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I woke up later dying of thirst and saw my father standing over me. The look on his face was full of emotion.
“What did the healer say?” I asked quietly.
“Whatever you did, you saved her and the pup.” He answered.
“Good.” I smiled.
“How can I ever thank you for saving my heart?” he asked in rare emotion.
“Nothing my Lord. I just ask that you forgive any transgression that I may accidentally make.” I said thinking of Naraku.
“I cannot express myself adequately. She wants to see you as soon as you are able. I never expected you to feed her from yourself.” He said pulling me up.
“She is my mother. I would die for her as it is. I would die for you too my Lord.” I said bowing.
He pulled me into a rare hug and held onto me as if for dear life. I was so happy for them both that any ramifications of Naraku were worth it.
“I will see her shortly. I am going to drink gallons of water and eat something.” I said smiling.
“What is it that you did?” he asked quietly.
“I sealed the entrance to her womb. Aunt Kagome had books that I had read about all kinds of medical things. I sealed it with my poison. She will never be able to bear any more pups but I told her that.”
“Again I cannot express my words daughter. I am more proud and in awe of you than I can say.” He said bowing to me.
“Father please.” I said embarrassed.
He quietly exited my chambers and Sheng came in. He looked at the healing fang marks and smirked.
“Your own mother has marked you.” He laughed.
“Hai.” I smirked.
“I am so proud of you.” He said down to me.
“It was nothing.” I said looking away.
“Come I promised her that you would see her.” He said pulling me out of the chambers.
“Sheng, please stop.” I asked.
“No she is elated.” He said.
I allowed myself to be dragged back to my mother and father's chambers and I went in alone.
“We are alone?” she asked.
“Hai.” I responded.
“Erect a barrier.” She commanded.
I did as she asked and she looked at me in askance.
“Where did you find Naraku's miasma?” she asked.
“I cannot say that Mother.” I said.
“I have kept your secrets in the past. I owe you my life and that of your unborn sibling. Tell me the truth.” She demanded quietly.
I looked down and then away. I sighed and then looked directly at her.
“Naraku is alive.” I stated.

Taming Passions
Akemi sat on the steps that led to the garden. It was her Uncle Sesshomaru's pride and joy. He could be caught occasionally sleeping beneath various trees that he himself planted. He father was going to be arriving this evening to talk with her uncle about the Southern issue as it became known. She was growing anxious about the quiet but gorgeous neko prince. She really did not want her father here at the moment but it could not be helped. Daichi was never rude to anyone and he was unobtrusive. She had caught her uncle saying that he wished all his guests were this perfect. He stayed in the oak a lot and would stare south. She moved and stood beneath the tree and looked up. He was actually asleep and somewhat curled up on a large branch. She smiled at the sight and wished again he had not denied her. She sighed and moved back inside of the palace. Her father would frighten the timid neko if he had his way. She went to the kitchens and asked for a plate of venison and it was given to her. She preferred meat cooked but would not turn down any food. She brought the food back to the garden. She moved underneath the oak and called up to Daichi softly.
“Are you hungry?”
He opened one eye lazily and saw the meat and nodded yes. He stretched and Akemi had to control her ardor. Yes she wanted the neko male badly. He jumped down with his usual grace and smiled gently at her.
“Thank you.” He murmured as he took the proffered plate.
“I have not seen you eat in the three days you have been here.” She said sitting at the base of the tree.
“I eat small quantities.” He replied.
“Aw well the inu gorge themselves usually.” She replied.
He looked at her and nodded.
“I want to apologize for the other night.” He said softly.
“Why?” she asked confused.
“I am attracted to you but I should have contained myself better.” He said sighing.
“I wanted you to lose yourself.” She remarked looking at him.
“Thank you for the food.” He said quietly changing the subject.
She stood to leave then turned gently and ran her hand along his cheek. He looked surprised and rubbed his cheek against her hand instinctually. She could hear the strumming in his chest start and leaned forward and caught his lips. His hands still held the plate of venison. Her lips worked against his in an erotic dance of sensitive flesh. She alternately dove her tongue into his warm and inviting mouth or sucked softly on his lips. He kissed her back and the molten pleasure started to course through them both. She took the plate from him and pulled away and sat it down away from them for the moment.
“I…” he started to say when she caught his lips again.
She reached into his haori and undid the ties and opened it to his kosode. She then reached inside the cotton garment and ran her hands over his chest. She pulled away from his lips and kissed along his jaw. She reached up and caught the point of his ear gently between her thumb and forefinger and massaged it. He groaned loudly and she pressed open mouthed kisses to his neck.
“Kami you make me wild.” He cried softly.
“Please by all means go wild.” She cried hoarsely.
He pressed his body against hers and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He looked at her and growled low. An ache so acute had begun to grow and he was getting weak against it. His eyes had changed to mere slits again and he groaned into her ear when she ground herself against him. He cupped her breasts again and wanted to taste them but tried to maintain a shred of control. Akemi saw him fighting to maintain control and she took her hands and undid her obi. She had not bothered with under clothes and her breasts spilled out. He thumbs grazed the nipples and her breath became a soft hiss. He bent his head and caught a tightened nipple in his teeth and gently suckled it.
“Oh.” Akemi cried softly.
He looked up at her and she was panting. He raised his head and kissed her slowly and thoroughly. She unwrapped her legs from his waist and he looked at her confused.
“I wish to undress you right now. I think it would not do in such a public place. Do you agree?” she said in his ear.
“Hai.” He said shakily.
She straightened and redid her obi and picked up the venison. She jerked her head and made her way into the palace. She brought the food to his chambers with the neko hot on her tail. She slid open his shoji door and sat the venison on the low table. She shut the door and moved forward and finished undoing his kosode. She slipped off the two top garments and gently scraped his flat nipples with her own short claws. He grabbed a hand and took a finger into his mouth suggestively. His hands went to her obi and undid it again. The obi fell to the floor followed by the kimono. His eyes perused her form in a hungry and lusty gaze. His mouth went to her bare neck and he ran his tongue along her pulse point. She moaned softly and he dipped a finger between her nether lips and was met with a slippery and scorching wetness. He looked at her and claimed her mouth again. She was breathing faster and impatiently. Her hands went to his hakama and undid the knot. His eyes widened in surprise as she looked at him with undisguised lust in her own eyes. She slipped the rich silk past his hips and he closed his eyes and tried to breathe evenly.
“Lay down.” He whispered in her ear.
“Hai.” She obeyed.
“Are you sure of this?” he whispered.
“Hai. You have to ask?” she said breathlessly.
He nodded and gently spread her legs and lowered his lips to her center and ran his tongue up her slit and she cried out. Pleased with her response he spread her lips a little and licked her small bundle of nerves with his raspy tongue. Her hips came off the futon and she moaned out. He brought a finger to his teeth and bit off the tip of razor sharp claw and then inserted it inside of her. She cried out again and he lowered his head again and licked her and moved the finger inside of impossibly tight sheath. He repeated removing another claw tip and increased the fullness and pressure inside of her. He was determined to bring her to completion first and he knew she was close as she kept moaning louder and throwing her head side to side. He took her nub gently into his mouth and bit gently with his teeth then suckled it hard and she tried to scream but it came out noiseless. He felt wetness flood his hand and her tunnel tighten around his fingers. He brought his fingers to his lips and proceeded to lick them clean and groaned at her sweet and musky taste. He bent down and dipped his tongue into her belly button and slowly up her abdomen and licked a path to between her breasts. She watched him with hooded eyes as he took one turgid nipple into his hot mouth and swirled his tongue around it.
“Oh Kami.” She groaned.
He growled lightly and she moaned again. She reached down and gently ran a finger along his silken length and he stiffened. She looked on as his face contorted in pleasure and did it again.
“So soft.” She whispered.
He watched her as she grasped him and slid her hand up and down around his length He moaned against her breast and she arched her hips.
“Please.” She cried.
“Alright.” He breathed unevenly.
He lined himself up at her entrance and slid in her. Indescribable pleasure erupted in Akemi's brain and she moaned. He met her maidenhead and a panicked looked crossed his features.
“Just do it ok?” she begged him.
“Hai but it will hurt.” He said in his deeply soft voice.
She nodded and he snapped his hips and tore through her maidenhead. He stilled himself as he allowed her to adjust to his girth and the pain. She smiled up at him and he pulled out slowly and the same pleasure erupted in her loins again.
“How are you doing that?” she groaned as he moved within her.
“What do you mean? I am not hurting you am I?” he stopped as he asked her in concern.
“No do not stop.” She cried.
He moved against her again and pulled out slowly and pushed in again. The pleasure mounted each time he withdrew and she nearly came undone right then.
“That. How are you doing that?” She cried out again at the intense pleasure.
What she was referring to dawned on him and he smiled down at her. He moved in and out of her just a little faster and he gave into the amazing feeling. He kissed her and she kissed him back fiercely. Her responses were exhilarating and he shifted slightly within her and she accidentally bit his tongue. She tasted his blood and groaned into his mouth. He reached between their joined bodies and skimmed a knuckle over her nub and she bucked her hips against his and he moaned. She met his thrust again and they were both dissolving into the euphoria. She began to tighten around him and Akemi was gasping. Each time he pulled out the pressure in her loins grew and she was close to losing her mind. All of a sudden the pressure exploded in blinding intensity and tightened almost painfully around the neko prince. Her own release brought on his and he snarled almost savagely as he tried to pull out but she wrapped her legs around his waist. He spilled himself in her and physically shuddered, her sheath continued to tighten and milk him of everything. He wrapped his lips around her juncture but kept himself from marking her. His fangs had lengthened and they barely nicked the skin. Akemi's breathing was erratic as was his and he collapsed and he listened to her wildly beating heart.
“Thank you.” She whispered into his ear.
He looked at her sleepily and smiled gently and kissed her. She ran her fingers through his soft and silken hair. He slowly pulled out of her and she hissed in pleasure again. She looked at him in askance and he smiled again.
“If you had not been so well prepared then I would have hurt you.” He said quietly.
“That did not hurt, that was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced.” She whispered.
He blushed and looked away. She turned his head and kissed him slowly and he groaned again.
“You love physical touch do you not?” she said as she massaged the tip of his ear.
“Hai.” He groaned.
“Inu love to touch but I think neko have them beat.” She smiled wickedly.
“Hai. Kami I love it when you touch me at all.” He cried softly.
“I would stay here and make love to you all day but my father is coming to see my uncle about your situation and I really like you an awful lot so I am going to pretend we are just friendly.” She said wistfully.
“Your father he is that protective?” he asked surprised.
“I am his only daughter and his youngest pup.” She said.
“I had better let you up then.” He said seriously.
“Lord Sesshomaru will want you in the study after my father arrives.” She said stretching.
“Hai.” He said as he watched her nude form.
He leaned down and caught a nipple in his mouth as he did earlier and swirled his roughened tongue around it and she cried out. He let go of it with an audible pop. He stretched next to her and wrapped a hand around her waist.
“Take a short nap with me?” he asked lazily.
“Hai. I can do that.” She yawned.
He tangled his legs with hers and fell asleep.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I was in the dojo with my mate and we were finishing our sparring. My wounds had completely healed. When Sheng saw them I felt his intense hatred of his former lord. I dismissed it and went on about my business. He was sweating and looking at me like I was a small boar or something else as succulent. He was switching his katana back and forth and I grinned at him.
“I thought we were finished my heart.” I said.
“No not just yet.” He said with a predatory gleam.
“You are stalking me. Shall I be afraid?” I whispered.
“Hai.” He said throwing his katana across the floor.
He came to me and took my own sparring katana and threw it as well. He picked me up and my legs went around his waist. He exposed my throat and his mating mark and bit down. I cried out and squirmed beneath him. He licked his way to my ear and I gasped.
“I am ready to see you grow heavy with my pup again.” He whispered huskily.
“How many do you want my love?” I whispered hoarsely.
He tore the silk of my hakama and I knew he intended to take me here. His dominance was getting me slick already and I moaned his name.
“I want a large family if that answers your question.” He said freeing himself.
“You do intend to take me here.” I said my eyes flashing red.
“Hai and make you scream but I know you will not but I can try.” He said feral.
I was ready when he slid into me hard. I gasped at the sudden fullness and I did not have time to adjust to his quick thrusts.
“Kami.” I groaned.
“Hai!” he cried.
I held on as he continued to thrust into me and I was quickly thrown over the edge but he did not stop. He pushed me against the wall and started massaging my clit and he pressed his yoki against mine. I did scream his name and nearly passed out when I came again. I was gasping and he finally stiffened and spilled into me. I was trying to catch my breath and he claimed my mouth. I moaned again and managed to put my feet to the wooden floor. His eyes were burning red and I wondered at his intent.
“You are close to your heat.” He said as buried his nose into my neck.
“You intend to take me several more times do you not?” I asked hoarsely.
“Hai.” He said in a rough voice.
“Would it not be better if we were on our own futon?” I asked him.
“Hai.” He said stripping out of his haori and wrapping it around me.
I smiled at his raging lust and knew I would not be able to move for awhile. I laughed when he picked me up and carried me to our chambers.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I was sitting in the spring getting cleaned up from my numerous rutting with my delicious mate. Mayu had been afraid that I had been hurt in the dojo and I had to spill my guts to reassure her. My cousin wandered into the spring and I grinned at her as the mingled scents caught my attention.
“You conquered him.” I observed.
“Hai. Asuna it was amazing and wonderful and I hurt like the seven hells.” She said stripping and joining me.
“He was gentle I hope.” I said leveling her a stare.
”Hai. The servant's tongues have been wagging saying that you screamed Sheng's name in the dojo.” She said smiling.
“Hai he was in an amorous mood.” I said grinning.
“Oi where's my daughter?” we heard someone else.
“Uncle Yasha has arrived.” I commented.
“Hai. Kami he is loud at times.” Akemi said blushing.
“Finish cleaning everywhere.” I commanded.
I got out of the spring and dried myself quickly and put on a sleeping yukata. I moved quickly to the door and slipped out and ran face to face into my uncle.
“Where is Akemi?” he demanded.
“Bathing Uncle Yasha.” I answered.
“Tell her to hurry up.” He commanded.
“Uncle I think it would be a wiser course to meet with your brother in his study first. He is expecting you and I will bring Akemi to you when she is done.” I said calmly.
“I will meet with my Lord Stick up His Ass brother when I have seen my daughter!” he growled.
“Uncle Yasha may I remind you that as your favorite niece you offend me when you speak of my sire as such.” I said getting irritated.
“Asuna quit the damn double talk and bring me my daughter. I didn't want her living here in the first place. Kags wanted it so I gave in; I want to make sure you all don't turn her into an ice princess!” he growled.
“YOUR daughter feels more at home here than in a ningen village. YOUR daughter is feeling the hatred of the outside world and we can shelter and protect her here.” I snapped.
“Keh, we will talk later!!” he snapped as he pushed past me.
Akemi slipped the screen door open and looked at me with tears in her eyes. She hugged me and I wrapped my arms around her. I was only nine years older than her but I felt highly protective of her.
“Come let us get you dressed so you can face your father and lover, alright?” I said wiping away a lone tear.
We went back to my chambers and the twins were on a blanket on the floor cooing and smiling. Sheng was making silly faces at them and Hiroto was laughing hysterically. I smiled down at Kazuo and he smiled up at me with his chubby cheeks. I swooped down and gave them both kisses. I looked at Sheng and smiled and he returned it. I went to my armoire and pulled out a formal kimono for Akemi of thick silver satin. There were larks depicted on the back and it came to the floor. I motioned for my cousin to sit and I started twisting her hair into an intricate chignon. I added ebony and jade combs to hold it in place. Her blue eyes stood out and I noticed that her ears were pointed slightly. She was lovely and I handed her the kimono and she took it and went to the other room to change. I slipped off my yukata and pulled out a haori and hakama set that was also silver. It was silk and plain with no motifs. I pulled out a black obi and dressed quickly. Sheng was admiring my body and let me know with lewd thoughts. I looked over my shoulder at him and smiled. I slipped my fang into the obi and slipped on a pair of geta. I walked into the other room and Akemi was a vision and I bowed to her. She smiled and I knew the neko prince was going to drop his handsome mouth.
We walked quietly to the study and I slipped open the shoji door. I heard my father speaking with an ill temper but all talk stopped when Akemi entered the room. I smirked and caught my father's citrine eyes and he looked pleased. My uncle had his mouth hanging open and Daichi stared openly.
“Uncle Yasha an insect may settle in your mouth if you do not shut it.” I said.
My father barked a rare laugh and I settled on a cushion and Akemi followed suit. Daichi could not take his eyes off her and Inuyasha started growling.
“Half breed silence your voice now!” my father snapped.
My uncle looked royally pissed off but kept his mouth shut.
“As this Sesshomaru was saying; the intelligence has arrived and there is a swarm of bat youkai from the peninsula that is invading the south. You have dealt with the bat youkai that are native to the islands Inuyasha. We shall seek their assistance as well. This breed is different and drinks blood. This Sesshomaru is asking his heir and mate to attend the army as well. Is this all clear?” my father said to all.
“Since when do you order me jack ass!” Inuyasha fumed.
“Father!” Akemi snapped.
My father stood and put a hand to Bakusaiga and growled terribly. Daichi kept calm but looked extremely uncomfortable. Akemi stood as well as I and we stood between our sires.
“You are a son of this House if you like it or not half breed and this Sesshomaru is Lord!” he snarled.
“Father.” I said quietly.
He looked at me and he calmed down. His hand dropped to his side and he nodded to me. His face became impassive again. He slipped out from behind his desk and left his study.
“Uncle Yasha you said you would assist him if he ever called on you!” I snapped.
“Yeah well he can ask instead of order.” He snapped back.
“Father please!” Akemi grabbed his arm.
“My father is right. You are the second son of the Inu no Taisho. Would you please help your sire's house?” I asked in a calm voice.
“Hai!” he snapped.
“Thank you Uncle.” I said sitting.
“So who is the neko brat?” he asked in anger.
“He is Daichi. He is the second son of the Lord of the South; Hikaru.” I said introducing the young neko.
“Hn.” Uncle Inuyasha grunted.
Daichi bowed and sat back down and said nothing. He looked at me and I nodded.
“Yeah you can quit staring at my daughter you fucking neko.” Inuyasha snarled.
“Uncle Inuyasha you may leave right now. He is a Lord's son and your daughter looks lovely. I will take no more abuse of this house's guests.” I said standing.
He came up to me and smacked me. I stared at him in horror and felt blood well up where a claw had caught the skin.
“You will not turn her into some aristocratic bitch. She will not look down her nose at anyone or anything.” He said angrily.
“I can speak for myself father.” She yelled at him.
“Why would you do this?” he asked her accusingly.
Daichi stood and I could feel his ire rising.
-They have to work this out. He will not harm her. - I pathed to him.
He looked at me and nodded.
“I look more youkai than I do ningen. No one out there will accept me. You have mother and the twins look like her. What do I have? I look like my honorable father who wishes me to share the fate that he did when he was young!” She cried.
My uncle pinned his koinu ears to his head and he looked like he had been socked in the stomach. I realized that Akemi was my uncle's favorite and he was having a hard time letting her grow up.
“I am sorry. I never knew; why did you not say anything?” he said grabbing her and hugging her.
“What was I to say? They called me dirty blood. I know the pain you felt growing up because it is what I feel!” she cried.
“My poor girl.” He said hugging her tightly.
“Will you come with me Lord Daichi?” I said formally.
The neko and I exited the study and gave father and daughter time alone. I was going to have to speak to my own sire but waited until the scratch on my cheek healed. My own father would go into a rage and attempt to murder his brother.
“There is deep resentment between the two brothers.” I explained.
“I understand. I just did not want her hurt. I am fond of the lady.” He said in his quiet way.
“How fond?” I asked arching a brow.
“She has made me feel welcome. She is an amazing onna.” He said looking away from me.
“She is fond of you also. I will see to it that she travels with us south.” I said.
“No!” he said looking at me.
“Why not? She is quite excellent with a bow and has many spiritual powers. Purified bat sounds good to me.” I said lightly.
“I would not see her hurt is all.” He said quickly.
“She has saved my back before.” I said honestly.
“These beasts took down my father my Lady. He is truly a powerful youkai and they took him down.” He said seriously.
“I am half blood drinker myself Daichi. My mother is an Uppyr from Russia. That is why my father asked us to come.” I said.
“I still would rather she stay where she is safe.” He said stubbornly.
“I will leave the decision to my cousin.” I said walking away.
I walked to the gardens and spotted my father beneath a foreign elm tree. He had his eyes closed and he was meditating. I sat patiently until he acknowledged me.
“The situation has been rectified?” he asked calmly.
“Hai.” I said.
“The half breed has agreed to accompany you and your mother?” he asked.
“Hai.”
“I have a need to kill something.” He stated flatly.
“I will see to the arrangements while you hunt?” I asked.
“Hai.” He answered.
“He was upset over Akemi my Lord.”
“I care not. Your mother is pupped.” He said flatly.
“You are worried for mother.” I said looking at him.
“Hai.” He said sitting.
“She has birthed three pups father.” I said confused.
“She has lost more than you know.” He said staring off in the distance.
“She wanted to have another?” I asked sitting next to him.
“Hai. She begged me and like a fool I gave in.” he said in a chilly voice.
“What exactly has you so worried?” I asked concerned.
“She does not look well. She can barely rise and has been bleeding like the last time.” He said miserably.
“She has not already lost the pup?” I asked surprised.
“No. You and Osamu nearly killed her.” He said looking down.
“Shall I speak with her?” I asked worried.
“Hai. Convince her to let the healer end it. I do not want to lose my mate!” he snarled.
I nodded and I stood. I had no idea what had been going on and my father was a wreck. I had never seen him scared and that was saying quite a bit. I went to their shared chambers and knocked on the door.
“Enter.” She called.
I slid open the door and the scent of blood assaulted my nose. I came and sat by the futon and she smiled up at me sweetly.
“My sweet girl what brings you here?” she asked.
“Father told me of the pup.” I said taking her hand.
“He worries too much.” She snapped.
“He loves you.” I said gently.
“He wants me to end the pregnancy and I will not do it.” She snapped again.
“Mother, I have never seen him scared and he is frightened.” I said.
“I will not kill a child of mine while I breathe. Can you understand that?” she begged of me.
“We are afraid that you will not breathe anymore.” I said.
“I will not kill my pup! Do you understand me?” she snarled.
“I understand Mother but is there nothing we can do to try and help you?” I said fearfully.
“I know of no way my sweet girl but I will get stronger. I almost bled to death with you and
Osamu and you were birthed fine.” She said smiling weakly.
“That is not reassuring. How is it that you are not like other Uppyr?” I asked.
“I saw your father and wanted nothing else in my long life than to share it with him. I loved him the first moment I saw him after Magatushi was killed.” She said smiling wistfully.
“I thought it was Naraku that captured you and tortured you.” I asked surprised.
“Yes and no. Magatushi was around because of Naraku and yes he had captured me but it was Magatushi borrowing flesh from Naraku that actually tortured me and tried to get to your father.” She said.
“I see. We are going to find away to make you well. Have no doubt. You must promise me that this is the last attempt for a pup, please promise me.” I said pleading.
“Hai! I promise.” She said taking my hand.
I left her chambers and my mind was whirling. Naraku had not tortured my mother. He had not done the horribly evil things that I had that he had done. I was shaking with this new knowledge and I wanted to see him. I had much to do and I did not think I could make it to Mount Hakurei-zan and back without raising alarms to my absence. I hit a wall and cursed. Damn him why could he not trust me? He needed to know I was going south anyway. I had to think and get to him.
I wanted to throttle him. He was trying to make me hate him. I went to my chambers and dropped kisses on the twins and smiled at them.
“Mayu I have to leave for one full day. My father is hunting. I am going to try and quickly find an answer for my mother.” I said in a half truth.
“Hai my lady. I shall let your mate know.”
“Try and keep Uncle Yasha and Father apart. They are both in turmoil right now.” I stated.
“Hai!”
I kissed my pups again and left the palace quickly. I transformed to my natural form and took off in a full run.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I was sniffing at the entrance of the cave at the crumpled mountain. I caught a very trace scent and I whined hoping he would hear me. I wondered if was even here. I barked loudly and my hanyou lover came out. He looked up surprised to see me in this form.
“Asuna?” he asked in shock.
I lowered my head and sniffed him and he looked irritated at me. I decided to make him angry and I licked him. He glared up at me and I transformed back to my humanoid form. I crossed my arms across my chest and stared at him glacially.
“What irks you my beautiful inu?” he asked amused.
“Why do you want me to hate you?” I asked angry.
“Hate is such an easy emotion.” He said smoothly.
“You did not torture my mother, Magatushi did. Why would you let me think you hurt her?” I asked searching his maroon eyes.
“I tire of the conversation.” He said coldly.
“I am going south to Nagasaki. There is a horde of bat youkai from the peninsula. The Southern Lord needs the West to aid him.” I stated.
“I could not really care.” He said disdainfully.
“You took care of me after my stupidity. Why do you not trust me? Why can you not share the truth with me? Why do you want my hatred?” I asked him in a heated voice.
“Come inside you fool!” he snapped.
I followed him inside and we went deep into the bowels of the mountain. He whirled on me and pushed me against the cave wall. There was a sharp jagged rock and he forced my palm against it and it started bleeding. I looked at him in anger and he brought the palm to his mouth and lazily lapped at the blood. I could not figure out his motives for making me bleed.
“Why do wish for me to hate you?” I asked in anger.
“Like I said hate is an easier emotion.” He said.
“You are a coward.” I sneered.
“Am I now?” he asked narrowing his eyes.
“Yes and a bastard. I should have let you die for that cursed trinket. You cannot expect me to keep giving of myself to you. You are honest and open one second then hateful and a liar the next.” I seethed.
“This is just lust anyway my little inu. The rutting has been phenomenal; addictive really.” He said sarcastically.
I spit at him and snarled. He had wanted me to hate him and it was working. I worked my hand free and slashed his face with my claws. He looked amused and the thought that he had used me for my body took hold in my brain. I saw red and snarled at him.
“Bastard. You are a worthless half breed!” I yelled.
“Hai I am. Now you can go.” He said dismissing me.
“You do not dismiss me.” I said hissing.
I was determined to hurt him somehow and I pressed my body against his and bit into the mating mark savagely. He cried out in pain and I used the opening to press his mind. I was looking for a weakness in his shields and he fought me. He did not realize that I rivaled him in mental abilities and pressed my yoki down heavily on him. He actually gasped and his breathing became heavier. I forced my way into his innermost thoughts. He still maintained a modicum of control but I managed to crack open some of his feelings.
“Stop!” he roared.
-NO! - I thundered in his head.
His eyes were wide open and I withdrew from his mind. I stepped back from him and shook my head to clear my thoughts. I looked at him and tears actually stung my eyes. He looked beyond furious and I turned from him.
“You always underestimate me.” I whispered.
“How dare you.” He snarled at me.
“How dare you.” I snarled back.
“You invaded my mind you uppity bitch.” He snapped grabbing my wrists.
“You love me, why would you push me away?” I said searching his face.
“Did not that same wistful emotion not almost destroy you before? You are a deluded fool to think I would let myself be brought so low and by an inu no less.” He said disdainfully.
“That is not what you think is it Naraku? You war with yourself the same as I. Is it the ningen in you? The idea of loving a youkai is so distasteful?” I said angrily.
“Go to hell.” He said backing away from me.
“You are hanyou, and you are letting your ningen side dictate your feelings? It was that same side that chained itself to a miko!” I snapped.
“You know nothing!” he snarled.
“I love you. I can admit that.” I said.
“You cannot so leave it alone.” He said dangerously.
“Fine Naraku. I am the filthy one or should I say Onigumo?” I said taunting him.
He slapped me so hard it actually sent me reeling. I landed on the floor and I tasted blood in my mouth. It appalled me that his ningen side hated me so much. The demons that had merged and became Naraku loved me. I laughed at the irony of the situation. I moved away from him and stood up.
“I am done with you, do you hear me? I will not be judged or hated by some mere ningen. I will not involve myself with something that detests me but loves the sex. I am not your whore.” I said furiously.
“Are you sure?” he said maliciously.
I walked away from him toward the entrance and dug my claws into the rock, it melted under my Dakkasou and it felt as though my heart was twisting in pain. I straightened myself and contained my emotions. He grabbed me from behind and held onto me.
“Unhand me.” I said coldly.
“No.” he said softly.
“You have done your magic again. You have managed to fool even me. Now unhand me.” I said even deadlier.
“I will not.” He said.
“I will change and tear you limb from limb.” I threatened.
“I do not listen to that part of me. It is the same for you and your different halves is it not?” he said calmly.
“Hai but I do not go around seeing how to destroy your life!” I said emphatically.
“When you first came to me, you were hurting terribly for that inu trash.” He whispered harshly.
“Whatever.” I snapped at him.
“I do not like confrontation and you continually do it. Our relationship has been comfortable.” He said.
“Stop!” I demanded.
“I have never been one to be happy as you say.” He said kissing my neck.
“You are all over the board again.” I said shaking.
“Making you hate me has been easier so that when you will have to make a choice between me and your family. You will choose your family.” He whispered against my ear.
“You want me to choose them over you?” I asked confused.
“Hai it confuses me too. I cannot bring myself to see harm come to you.” He said sucking on my ear lobe.
I moaned under his soft caresses and wanted to melt. He was telling me his feelings honestly and I was torn even more.
“I do not understand.” I said wretchedly.
“I do not either.” He kissed my neck again.
“I cannot do this right now.” I said anguished.
“You are right. I have underestimated you. You are more powerful than I ever thought.” He said huskily.
“I have a campaign to manage and other personal matters to attend.” I said my voice shaking.
“I will say it, I love you. I do not understand these feelings but I will admit them to you.” He said as he ran his tongue along my jugular.
“Do not tease me Naraku.” I said warily.
“No I will not; but I will not have you have any illusions about me.” He said nipping the vein.
“I have no illusions.” I said.
“What is your delicious scent?” he asked in a deep voice.
“I am entering my heat.” I said closing my eyes as his fingers skimmed over my nipples.
“I see.” He said untying my obi.
“I cannot right now.” I breathed heavily as his hands reached inside of my hakama.
“I probably should stop.” He breathed in my ear.
“Hai.” I said closing my eyes tight as he touched my center.
“Kami you are so wet and tight.” He groaned into my ear.
“Hai. I need to go now or I will mount you till I scream.” I said in a pained voice.
“The latter sounds better of the two.” He murmured.
“I cannot be pupped right now!” I said fiercely.
“I can control myself in that regard my beautiful Asuna.” He said then sank his fangs into my jugular.
My mind reeled and I felt utter ecstasy. He had just marked me and I had let him. He untied my haori and slipped my bottoms down. He was going to take me and I prayed he had enough strength to pull away at the last minute because I was awful at it. He lifted me up and I slid down his length. We both hissed and I closed my eyes as he moved within me. He touched my face and I opened my eyes and he lowered his shields some and let me in. I gasped and I felt his true self. I was staring him in the eyes and our yoki began to mix.
“Kami Naraku.” I gasped.
“Hai. I feel it too.” He moaned.
We both were feeling an indescribable euphoria and he started to move quicker. His eyes held something and I had to throw my head back. I gouged his shoulders and cried out as our mixed yoki washed over us. I came quickly and his face contorted and he was close. I knew he was trying to prolong the act but the wash of power was too great. He pulled me off him put his head on my shoulder as his own orgasm overtook him. He shook and my respect for him grew. He had kept his word to me again.
“What is that?” he asked overwhelmed.
“I am not sure.” I said breathless.
“You must go. I will not be able to control myself again.” He said.
He captured my lips and I pulled him to me. I tore myself away first and straightened myself up.
“I need some of your miasma.” I said.
“Why?” he asked curiously.
“I am going to use it to save an unborn sibling.” I said.
“You have a container?” he asked.
“I brought a pot. Will that hold it?” I asked.
“It should.” He said looking down at me.
I pulled a very small pot out of my hakama and I opened it and he inserted a few fingers and released the noxious substance from his claws into the pot and I corked it.
“You are going to use it as a disinfectant?” he asked curious.
“I am not sure. I am going to use my Dakkasou and this. My mother is pupped and my father is very distraught. She has lost several pups already and apparently she nearly died having my twin and me.” I said looking away.
“I will hope for you that it works.” He said.
“What have you done with yourself? You are almost nice.” I commented.
“As always I am drained after my time with you.” He said tiredly.
“I am able to channel Sheng's yoki as well as my own.” I said.
His eyes hardened at the mention of Sheng but he listened.
“You think you may be stealing my power?” he said surprised.
“Not stealing, channeling.” I said brushing his bangs away from his eyes.
“There is a difference?” he asked annoyed.
“Yes. These abilities are my uppyr half Naraku. I am still learning to control them.” I said.
“Please learn quickly, I enjoy being joined to you but not the exhaustion.” He snapped.
“Hai.” I said sheepishly.
He kissed me lightly and I moaned.
“Have you thought to channel my yoki?” I asked.
“It is a thought.” He said.
“Alright then. I have no idea how long I will be gone.” I commented.
“I have my ways of finding you.” He murmured.
“I will be battling a lot.” I said smirking.
“Then I shall be around to make sure you do not fall ill.” He said running his claws through my hair.
“Why does your ningen half hate me so?” I asked.
“It is not something I wish to discuss.” He said.
“Do not shut me out please.” I said.
“Go and help your mother.” He said absently.
“Hai!” I turned and left.
I changed into my energy sphere and went back to the palace. I kept a hold of the small pot and a plan had formed in my mind. I was going to seal my mother's womb closed. When her time came I would have the healer cut the pup out of her belly. It was the loss of blood that caused her problems. I made it to her chambers and masked my scent heavily. I knocked and I entered her room. My father sat next to her on the futon and I nodded to him.
“I may have a way of saving her and pup but I need you to trust me.” I said in a quiet voice.
“I trust you.” He said.
“Alright, I need you to leave.” I replied.
“Asuna!” he snapped.
“Father I need you to trust me.” I repeated.
“Hai.” He said warily.
He slowly went to the shoji door and left. I could tell he was full of apprehension. He loved her the way I loved Sheng. I sat by her head. I leaned down and whispered in her ear.
“I need you allow me access to your womb. I may be able to save the pup and you.”
“Hai.” She said weakly.
I hated what I was about to do but I figured that her womb may not be closed all the way and that was the cause for the bleeding. My mother fed off the blood of other creatures and could not keep up with the blood loss.
-Sheng, I need you to keep my father out of his chambers and get Inuyasha if need be. My mother is going to scream loudly.-
-What is going on? - He thought to me.
-She is pupped and bleeding from the womb. - I thought back.
-Oh Kami. - He thought.
-Hai, can you keep my father out?-
-I am getting Osamu too. - He replied.
-Thank you.-
“Mother this will hurt terribly but I think it is the only chance.” I whispered in her ear.
“Just do it my dear daughter.” She said weakly.
I dipped my claws in the miasma and let the Dakkasou seep to the tips. I entered her vaginal canal and felt her opening and it was indeed open a little. I pushed my claws into the skin and she screamed an unholy scream. Tears stung my eyes at hurting her.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
“My lord we cannot allow you to pass.” Sheng said in fear for his life.
Sesshomaru's eyes were blood red and he was in danger of changing. Inuyasha had drawn Tetsaiga and Osamu stood between his brother-in-law and uncle.
“Get out of the way before you all are gutted!” he snarled.
“Asuna would not hurt her mother.” Osamu spoke.
“She screamed.” He said snarling again.
“Father listen to us. Asuna asked that we keep you out. Mother will die before she rids herself of a pup. Let Asuna help her.” Osamu said calmly.
-Osamu allow Father in please. - I pathed to Osamu weakly.
Osamu nodded to our sire and I felt my father's yoki surge. He threw open the shoji door and I lay across my mother's chest. I had allowed her to drink a large amount of blood. She had pierced the same area as Naraku had at my behest and I covered up his mark. She was breathing evenly and much color had returned to her cheeks. I had also figured that my blood held a lot of power in it and that would help her also. My father leaned down and saw her breathing and turned to me. I smiled weakly and promptly passed out.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I woke up later dying of thirst and saw my father standing over me. The look on his face was full of emotion.
“What did the healer say?” I asked quietly.
“Whatever you did, you saved her and the pup.” He answered.
“Good.” I smiled.
“How can I ever thank you for saving my heart?” he asked in rare emotion.
“Nothing my Lord. I just ask that you forgive any transgression that I may accidentally make.” I said thinking of Naraku.
“I cannot express myself adequately. She wants to see you as soon as you are able. I never expected you to feed her from yourself.” He said pulling me up.
“She is my mother. I would die for her as it is. I would die for you too my Lord.” I said bowing.
He pulled me into a rare hug and held onto me as if for dear life. I was so happy for them both that any ramifications of Naraku were worth it.
“I will see her shortly. I am going to drink gallons of water and eat something.” I said smiling.
“What is it that you did?” he asked quietly.
“I sealed the entrance to her womb. Aunt Kagome had books that I had read about all kinds of medical things. I sealed it with my poison. She will never be able to bear any more pups but I told her that.”
“Again I cannot express my words daughter. I am more proud and in awe of you than I can say.” He said bowing to me.
“Father please.” I said embarrassed.
He quietly exited my chambers and Sheng came in. He looked at the healing fang marks and smirked.
“Your own mother has marked you.” He laughed.
“Hai.” I smirked.
“I am so proud of you.” He said down to me.
“It was nothing.” I said looking away.
“Come I promised her that you would see her.” He said pulling me out of the chambers.
“Sheng, please stop.” I asked.
“No she is elated.” He said.
I allowed myself to be dragged back to my mother and father's chambers and I went in alone.
“We are alone?” she asked.
“Hai.” I responded.
“Erect a barrier.” She commanded.
I did as she asked and she looked at me in askance.
“Where did you find Naraku's miasma?” she asked.
“I cannot say that Mother.” I said.
“I have kept your secrets in the past. I owe you my life and that of your unborn sibling. Tell me the truth.” She demanded quietly.
I looked down and then away. I sighed and then looked directly at her.
“Naraku is alive.” I stated.
