A/N - A warning to my hardcore yaoi fans - There is a definite not-yaoi citrusy bit here...I suppose it could be skipped over without damaging the plot if you are so terribly against such things. Lol!

It is getting difficult to update this as often as I would like. There may be days for a while where I cannot manage one. To make the long story short, I generally update in the morning after I get off work..however, my mother has taken to screaming bloody murder at me to do more work the moment I get home...clean my barn! get me a yard sale together for the weekend! clean out the garage! clean the house! ((It isn't that I mind doing my fair share of housework, but her reasoning is...and these are actually her words... "It doesn't matter that I'm not working. I deserve to sit around and do nothing. I worked for years and raised you kids, you owe me. So give me my damn rent money, gas money, pay for my car payment, and do whatever the fuck I say or you can move out."))...then she screams at my brother when he gets home so I don't get enough sleep...and my mornings after work I am thus wholly exhausted and such. So, do not fear, dear reader...I will update as often as I can, but until this recent bout of insanity subsides a bit, I may not manage it daily. It will pass. *sigh* Can't wait to move out next year! XD

And just for giggles... Imagine, Toga with PMS...oh, the West would suffer....

In response to Fluffy's Green Comb....XD yes. ..I too thought of the song "My own Grandpa"...as well as the horribly twisted, mind-numbing thought pattern that you perfectly detailed in your review...however, fun though the thought is, I really don't think I should have Sesshy fathering his father's puppies.

Jormandar blinked when the blood-streaked raven demoness flew into his room, her long, taloned fingers wrapping around his throat. Her voice was a frantic hiss. "He found me! Already, he found me, damn you!"

Jormandar narrowed his pupilless black eyes, his voice dry and slithery like a snake on gravel. "And just what do you expect me to do about it, Lady Karalichala? Wage open war against him? I am no fool. You were the one that chose to reveal yourself."

"I did not expect him to find me zo quickly, damn it..." she hissed irately, wiping angrily at the blood that still trickled from her ears. "He ztruck me hard..."
"And you yet live. All know that the Kinslayer's strength was in the clairvoyant arts. Scrying, cyphering, prophecy. As he obviously was not HERE to strike you, he struck you from afar, thus likely through scrying. The fact that you survived, unprepared, means he simply does not yet possess the strength to bear against you. You have time yet. He is still recovering."

Kara paused and then hissed her annoyance. She hated that the emaciated, spindly creature before her was right. She would have loved to tear out his throat, but no...she yet had use for the puppetmaster. She nodded slowly. "Den I ztill have zome time...though how much, I know not. You vill assist me in my assault."'

"Will I..." Jormandar glared, not liking being told what it was, exactly, he was going to do.

"It vill further your own designs as vell as mine. My immunity vill be written into da terms of zurrender. In return, I loan you my dracolich and my army of zlaves."

"YOUR dracolich, Lady?"

"I revived him. Zetsukosei vill obey you, but he obeys me first. Bezides...I have been vorking on another for you. But dis one is much more cunning. Zetsukosei had his moments...but dis one zurvived on his guile."

"Oh?" Jormandar was interested. "And of what possible use is this new creature? Demon, I am assuming..."

"Only in part. Come."

"In part? What the hells do you mean?""Kaa...hush and come." Kara glared. "Dis one is my gift in return for your assistance in da upcoming movement."

Jormandar sighed inwardly and followed the raven demoness down to the lower dungeons that she had commissioned into a laboratory of sorts. His eyes had no problem adjusting to the darkness - he needed no light to see.

The puppetmaster scowled as he tried to make sense of the fleshy mass in front of him. A human torso was strapped on a table, the bits carefully sewn together. His eyes took in the black thread holding the mess together and blinked when he saw it moving.

"Flesh-vorms. Dey vill become part of him as his body heals. Homunculi."

"Homunculi? You expect me to think a random homunculus or any number of them will make a servant worthy of giving my enemies pause?""Dis one vill. He vill be altered from his previous ztate, much ztronger dan in life. Dis one vill zerve you very vell."

"What do you call this creature, then, Lady?" Jormandar was intrigued by the wickedly confident look in the raven demoness' eyes.

Karalichala smiled and threaded her fingers through the long, silky black locks of the partially reconstructed corpse. "Naraku."

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

"Are you SURE you are alright?" Miroku shifted from foot to foot in agitation. Sairex was trudging along. His expression was neutral enough, but he seemed exhausted.

"I am fine. Merely tired. I am...not zo recovered as I believed."

"You didn't intend for that to be a mere warning shot, did you?..." Miroku asked in sudden understanding. Sairex turned weary yellow eyes to him before smiling slightly.

"No. I didn't."

"You should rest, then."

"It is not zafe here. Better to keep moving and get back home den to rest. Dis is da territory of Kattaras. I do not know vhether or not he vill confront me, but resting is no option. I am da only one dat dares travel openly vithin da territory of another. Kattaras is...mm. Zometing of an ally, I zuppose. A more decent zort dan most of da circle...but ztill, not friendly."

"I can be very friendly. Do you usually hold council with birds, Lord?"

Sairex's spine stiffened and he turned. Miroku eyed the creature before them. He was huge, easily eight feet tall, and extraordinarily well muscled. Bony, razor-sharp blades jutted from many places in his body. His dark blue skin was painted with vivid white stripes and designs. Thick black hair was pulled into a tall topknot, and glowing red eyes were staring at them both. He looked as if he could crush Sairex with one finger.

"I do, actually. Zimply because others can not underztand my kindred does not mean I cannot."

Kattaras snorted. "Hn...all such creatures are good for is a light snack." He grinned ferally at Miroku, bearing dozens of wickedly sharp teeth.

"I vould be most put out if you ate one of my pets, Kattaras," Sairex said smoothly. Miroku decided it was likely in his best interest for this new demon to believe he was simply a raven. "Vhy do you bother me? I am only passing through."

"Where are your wings, Lord? I have never seen you without them."

Sairex narrowed his eyes. "Dat is none of your concern. Zpeak or leave me, I have no patience for you and no quarrel vith you."

"I need information."

"My price is zteep," Sairex returned smoothly. "One question. In return, I vant tree of your dusk-blooming chokevines.""I have one vine and seeds. The rest have been destroyed in recent conflict."

"Dat is not enough and da zeeds take hundreds of years to fully grow."

"Take it or leave it. No one else can provide you with even one."

Sairex scowled darkly. "Ask."

"The northern lord gathers an army and raises more corpses to walk beside him, steals all the living he can from any land bordering his own. I hear he even has stolen and enslaved the minds of many from Outside. What is his game? Should I be preparing my defenses? I have no quarrel with Jormandar that I am aware of, but I stand the biggest threat to his rule short of you."

Sairex frowned before shaking his head slowly. "Jormandar is becoming more and more of a problem dese days."

"I do not understand why you do not simply take him and Quiva out of the picture. Shass and I would ally with you. You could be the Overlord of the Circle with ease. There has not been one since Tsetsukosei killed Magnallak."

Sairex chuckled, and Miroku did his best not to stare at his lover. Was he REALLY so fearsome as to invoke this kind of grudging respect and belief in his abilities? "My dear Kattaras, I have no doubt I could take da Circle. But to do so vould change da balance of my life. For zome, my death vould be vorth more dan my life."

"Hn..As they say, too valuable to kill and too dangerous to let live. Very well. You still have not answered my question."

Sairex whistled sharply, and a small dark form shot out of the clouds. It moved to hover in front of them. It had the form of a bird, roughly, but looked to be more a shadow than anything. Sairex spoke softly to it in a language Miroku did not understand. The shadow-raven screeched - a strange, tinny, hollow sound...then vanished. "My emissary vill come to you zhortly vith your answer, and to pick up my payment. For now, I leave."

"Very good. I can transport you if you wish."

Sairex paused for a long moment, seeming to consider this. "Very well. I go to da mountain pool dat leads Outside."

Kattaras nodded and saluted stiffly. "Of course. I am glad you are not here on unfriendly terms, Lord."

After Sairex nodded, Miroku saw the world suddenly blur around him. When things came to rest again, they were standing in front of a small mountain spring.

"Well, that saved us a trip I guess..." Miroku said after a moment, still feeling horribly dizzy.

"Indeed..." Sairex frowned. "But I AM out of touch...I don't know vhat Jormandar is planning. If it's political games vithin da Circle, I do not care...but vhat if it is not? I really vill have to look into dis. Come, ve vill be home zhortly."

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Shock hit Sesshoumaru almost as hard as the thunderbolt of lust that shot through him. Somewhere inside the back of his mind, the beast that was his demon was crowing in feral triumph. After all, it wasn't often one received the submission of what was one of the most powerful demons alive, no matter the body they were in. A pleased little growl rumbled through him as he leaned forward and nibbled none-too-gently at Toga's throat, his fingers abruptly moving of their own accord to start tugging at various ties and clothing. If it resisted, there was a good chance it was going to be destroyed.

Toga came to the rescue of Sesshoumaru's wardrobe and helped toss the offending fabric to the side without it being destroyed. Sesshoumaru did pause in his teasing to prop himself up on his arms more and rake his eyes down her body appraisingly.

"Even like this, you are still beautiful."

Toga snorted and then grinned teasingly. "Is that a compliment or not?"

"Indeed." Sesshoumaru paused, momentarily considering that this was likely the only pure-blooded female inu he would be having sexual relations with in his life. The thought amused him briefly before he drowned his smirk in a hungry kiss. Toga gave in to the kiss willingly, a soft moan sliding from her and increasing in volume as she felt Sesshoumaru's nimble fingers tracing along the curve of her breast.

It distantly occurred to Toga that this would be an interesting experience...she had always enjoyed the reactions she had been able to cause in her female lovers but had never given it much thought on how different it would feel to be on the receiving end. Different, but definitely delicious. Her eyes popped back open and her back arched as she was torn from her thoughts by Sesshoumaru's fingers sliding between her legs. Apparently, the younger taiyoukai was as curious to explore her body as she was to be explored.

Sesshoumaru smirked in smug satisfaction as he broke the kiss, sliding down to idly flick his tongue over one nipple, then the other. His questing fingers had found the happy bundle of nerves that made Toga squirm and writhe beneath him desperately, and he was taking full advantage of it. It gave him a heady sense of power, even if his logic distantly reminded him Toga could liably still trounce him.

Toga might have disagreed at the moment, if she had been able to think at all. Fireworks were exploding behind her eyes as unfamiliar but wholly wonderful sensation flowed like molten lightning through her veins. There was something to be said for giving yourself over to a lover and letting them have their way with you...

A new groan was yanked from her as Sesshoumaru shifted, sliding down her body abruptly and wasting little time in plunging his tongue into her. She gasped in helpless delight, her fingers tangling in Sesshoumaru's hair. The younger taiyoukai watched her reaction through his eyelashes, memorizing the way she thrashed every time his tongue slid along her or deeper into her.

When Sesshoumaru grinned deviously and slid up to suck and lick at her clit, Toga exploded with a scream that surprised her probably more than anyone, her back arching with enough force that she thought she might break. Sesshoumaru's hands gripped her hips tightly and held her more or less in place, not bothering to slow or stop in his ministrations. Toga was simply delirious with pleasure by this point, panting and dimly aware that she was pleading for more.

Sesshoumaru decided he had toyed with this delectable creature long enough, his own lust trying to claw its way free of him. He quickly shifted so he was laying over her and claimed her mouth in a bruising kiss as he ground against her, pleased with the way her legs automatically curled around him in an effort to pull him closer. Sesshoumaru was more than happy to grant her unspoken request, snapping his hips forward and burying himself in her body with one smooth thrust.

Neither of them expected him to meet resistance and Toga let out a shallow gasp, wincing slightly. Sesshoumaru froze and blinked, the fog of lust in his mind clearing enough to fathom what happened. "Mm...apparently...you are a virgin female...""Was..." Toga grinned slightly, the slight discomfort rapidly receding. "Nn...you aren't going to break me..."

Sesshoumaru smirked and claimed her lips in another hungry kiss as he began to move. Oh, he might not break her...but that didn't mean he wasn't going to attempt to drive her insane with ecstasy.
