Soul in Amethyst

 

 

 

Somehow her inu self was dominating her two halves; yet she was still both, she was still ekimmu and inu. Her eyes were bluish-amethyst in color now and Asuna had found out she had killed another cousin of Lewys Keelan. She was wearing a strange black metal armor as her silver hair flowed down her back and the sides of her defined, symmetrical features. Her eyebrows appeared more grey-black and her eyes were framed by lush, long, and extremely thick lashes. For the moment; the warrior queen looked like a supermodel. She pressed her hand to her armor covered belly; she carried Tolthe’s son, Maec’s son, and Chrestian’s daughter. Anum had also worked with her DNA to fix some of the chaos that the ekimmu doctors had accomplished. Asuna had insisted she was to be sewn closed tightly with thread infused by Naraku. The ekimmu/Shouten queen had also had her Shouten king make special barriers over these three babes.

 

Anum had explained that he was turning her body into that of a normal inpu onna; she doubted she would be completely normal. She would have to plan if she wanted. Asuna could also relax and not worry that her body would betray her every single time she did what she needed to do. She had also removed herself from the modern era; she was in Scotland. The warrior maiden was using Dunnottar Castle that sat atop a cliff overlooking the north-east coast of the Highlands. The castle needed work and was less than five miles from Stonehaven. The inu princess had always liked the Scottish peoples and youkai; she felt it was similar to home here. She stood up and stretched and stared out of her window at the turbulent seas.

 

 

“Kameron hates me.” He spoke with his smooth, polished tone.

 

“He needs to get over himself! I went to you as a mortal and I realized this is who you really are.” She said softly palming his right cheek.

 

The former Viking frere had his pale blond hair twisted and tied off in an old style. His length now came past his shoulders. Asuna had surprised him when she had pressed both of his hands to her belly.

 

“I will bring Anum as you said. Where are you planning to be my dearest queen?” Chrestian asked as his peridot eyes simmered.

 

“I am going to map every single veil I can find. First, I am going to start in Japan. We know about the one around Sendai. There has to be more; I want to be able to enhance the ekimmu ways to attack without being detected.” She thought aloud.

 

Chrestian nodded and they pressed their foreheads together. He slightly angeled his head and kissed her lush, ripe lips and he stifled his groan. The idea that he was going to be a father; AGAIN, was making him feel all manner of wonderful things. Kameron had tried to best him in a fight, it had turned out a stalemate. He watched his empusae/ekimmu queen phase out and he pondered her ideas. She was further back in the era that her people called the Warring States Era. Chrestian also knew there was a lot of history there written, and a lot of history for her personally. He hoped she could keep it neutral.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It had been quite a long while since she had been on Hokkaido and this far north in her own homelands. Memories flooded her of many years ago of the Snow Macaque Kingdom. The arrogance and absolute beauty of their king; Hiro and her own contemporary, Akihiko. She had followed common sense and had left her passions in the past, as past times.

 

“If I had not seen your face up close then I would not believe my own eyes!” She heard about five feet away from her.

 

Asuna knew the voice and she turned to stare at the ever elegant and impressive Snow Macaque ruler; Hiro. His hair was still as long as she remembered and it had braids, as well as twists in white and gray with some blond. His eyes were yellow-brown around his iris and bled into blue. He had a red youkai marking on each cheek bone and he was taller than the Western heir. Hiro was in his “fishing” attire and she recognized his spear; she had replaced the one he had lost.

 

“I beg your indulgence Lord Hiro; forgive me for being in your lands unannounced. I have an urgent mission for my own peoples that I shall not dawdle.” Asuna bowed.

 

“Who the hell are you and where is the inu princess?” Hiro growled as the onna in front of him was not only polite but horrendously gracious.

 

“It is me Lord Hiro. For you it may seem as very little time has passed; there has been many changes and tragedies my lord that can make one alter one’s arrogance.” She inclined her head.

 

She had only a small part of her excessively long hair up. It revealed her pointed ears, her defined cheekbones, pert nose, and absolutely lush mouth. Her youkai heritage was not hidden and magenta striped each cheek bone and above her eyes, in the middle of her forehead above her brow line was the crescent moon. Her body armor was pewter black and Hiro’s mouth was dry. Asuna stepped closer to the Snow Monkey king and she straightened his white haori.

 

“How long has it been for you inu?” the macaque asked gulping.

 

“For me it has been nine years, my eyes have changed too obviously. I rule a group of youkai called the ekimmu. Of course you know ningen myths are in truth, our histories. You know there are nine planes, correct?” She asked the beautiful speciman of male macaque.

 

“Hai, I can reasonably infer that there are other planes. The Tomoshibi and that Shouten being I had the misfortune to meet.” Hiro blinked his incredible eyes.

 

“There is a plane called Leth`Evana that straddles our plane and mirrors it. The plant and animal life are nothing we know but land masses are almost the same. I know of one veil as we call it; it is a place where one can just enter the fae plane without yoki. The only one in Japan I know of is around Sendai.” She began to walk beside him as he unconsciously made his way back to his small palace.

 

“So you are up here on Hokkaido to search and find anymore of these veils. Why do you need them so badly?” the macaque asked deeply intrigued.

 

“Ambush. I can phase into any plane I wish but my enemies know this. If they think I will phase; I have the advantage of moving my warriors with my allies against theirs in a surprise attack.” The warrior maiden explained.

 

Asuna realized they had walked back towards his palace and she bowed to him again. Hiro had searched for her at first for six months; he finally let his obsession die. For him it had been two years and his heart was beating in his chest.

 

“Stay and take a meal with me and my heir. You know us.” Hiro commanded.

 

“I can stay only a short while your majesty.” Asuna again bowed her head.

 

“When did you become so amiable?” he sputtered.

 

“When I learned who I had been. Acting crassly and without honor is no excuse any longer.” The woman before him almost whispered as she stared past him.

 

Hiro asked that she follow him and she did. Asuna had been on this mission to make a major statement against Sanra and Bilae; but Lewys was on her short list. Her loved ones were scrambling and unable to keep up with her. Nobu and Ichigo realized she had “broke” again and she was going to paint walls with blood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kameron stared at Chrestian and the hatred he used to feel was back in spades. Ryo, Qui, and Anum were all trying to calm the two oldest frere down but the hotheaded former Egyptian boy was snarling.

 

“Where is she?” He roared.

 

“She has decided to do her own recon Kameron. I do as I am bid as do we all.” Chrestian spoke in his soft tones.

 

“Oh she bids you to fuck her continuously so that you have back to back younglings?” His older frere demanded.

 

“Is this what this anger is about? Kameron you have our queen’s adoration and love. I was able to find myself with her help. Why should that anger you?” The former Viking asked raising a pale blond brow.

 

“Because it was ME who she depended upon so much. Now she has you as well and I hate you!” Kameron ranted.

 

“You do not share well with others; I am sorry brother. My brother Anum? Our queen has asked that you follow me to her.” The warrior frere stated.

 

“Why not all of us?” Qui asked narrowing violet eyes.

 

“You and Ryo both have very young children Quilin. Our queen realizes how much you both love your daughters but she loves her daughters as much. She needs them as protected as such.” Chrestian supplied.

 

Qui actually nodded in understanding and Kameron was just filled with rage. The eldest brother’s mind was heavily shielded and he began to make plans to rock Chrestian’s world. The Egyptian frere would go to one man who was also filled with rage; Admal and they would make the ekimmu/empusae queen listen!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Her hand was casually over her stomach as she stared out a bay window of the Macaque palace. Akihiko had been startled as well. He turned red every ten minutes or so but this version of Asuna was so serious and much more; he finally began to relax and act as though he had never known her intimately. Her mind was pathing to Chrestian’s and her daughter; Asta, the ekimmu queen had named this daughter. She had carefully chosen a name for her Pantera son that was both Japanese and fae; Kobe, he too was highly telepathic. The half inu onna leaned against the bay window and shut her eyes as she mentally prodded Maec’s son, Kenver. She had already named the three because they were all so highly telepathic and the connection was deep. Asuna was trying to remind herself to talk to the sires and she felt eyes on her.

 

“Your hand is over your belly. You stand with your eyes closed; if I remember correctly, you are an extremely powerful psi youkai.” Hiro commented as his attire had changed.

 

Hiro’s hair was now mostly down in twists and braids; the sides and front were up to keep it out of his face. He wore a heavy silk yukata in black with dragon and falcon motif. The Alpha macaque had realized that this onna was incredibly special but she had also turned out honorable. Akihiko and Akio’s mother was still alive but he could not even think of her when he saw the inu princess.

 

“Tell me of your people you now rule.” He stated crossing his arms in a haughty manner to calm his blood.

 

“They are called the ekimmu. Over ten millennium before they were lead into disaster as their ruler did not see the betrayals right in front of her face. There was a massacre of the ruling family and many uppyr types took place in imprisoning the “old ones” as they had become known.” Asuna said still staring.

 

“That is horrific.” He breathed.

 

“I was that queen. It was my very first life and apparently; I was quite powerful. I am empusae which is a trite different from ekimmu but my inu demands I have some sense of weird honor. I try…but I fail often.” The woman he had found irritating at first admitted.

 

“Akihiko and I shall help you search our kingdom personally but please; stay and be the guest of the Snow Monkey King.” He bowed in a flourish.

 

She looked back and blinked her blue-amethyst eyes at the royal macaque man and the black silk accentuated his lithe but muscled body. She nodded and bowed before him. He did the same and in the back of the great hall was Akihiko. His more yellow-brown eyes bore into hers and his thoughts were clear, you never returned. Her eyes began to burn darker blue as he had had the gall to even think at her.

 

“Please show me some guest chambers Lord Hiro?” She asked coolly.

 

“Then you accept my help?” Hiro asked with a gray brow raised.

 

“Hai my lord.” Asuna bowed her head again.

 

Hiro lead her to grand and opulent spare chambers. She could scent that the royal family was housed very close. The macaque man was acting as proper as she was and he backed out of her chambers and bowed. His own attendants shut the doors and Hiro had to hold onto a nearby doorway. Memories of the time in his garden overwhelmed him and he fled his own portion of the palace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Asuna was slowly taking off each piece of black pewter armor. She had been told by Efnisien that this metal was from Annwyn; its abilities to protect legendary and she had kindly asked Tala to procure her some. Naraku had no idea that she had siphoned some of his own yoki to bond to the very metal and when she sparred; it was proving to be a huge boon to her.

 

“You show up after so long and what? You just left!” A low snarl came from the shadows.

 

“We agreed due to the fact that your sire had wanted me as well that we were in fact only short term.” The woman he loved spoke in a low tone.

 

“I have been searching for you! I read the snippets of history here and there but I could no longer be of help or…” The Macaque heir said coming out of the shadows.

 

Akihiko had the multi-tonal hair of his father but more gray and white. His hair while long only came past his back end. It was twisted and braided just as intricately as his sire’s glorious mane but the heir wore haori and hakama in smoky gray. She could tell he had worn armor over his clothing and his cheekbones had slightly lighter marks upon them.

 

“Akio and Yoshiko are reasonably happy. She has given my brother three infants.” He informed her and she was stock still.

 

“I was quite aware. My sister had to wake up her uppyr side some in order to be able to carry her young. Although she looked healthy; she was in fact, malnourished in spades. Ling as you know is her long time mate/husband. Once he got to know Akio; well Byakko and Snow Monkeys got along famously.” Asuna said softly.

 

“Tell me you feel nothing and I shall leave!” Akihiko shouted at her and his face was red.

 

Asuna had to look up to him some and all of the pain and drama had hardened her. She had become a stone killer again.

 

“We were a past time Prince Akihiko. I have since become a ruler of an emerging empire, my concerns are for my people.” She bowed her head.

 

Asuna had blatantly hurt him but she did not want him to suffer for knowing her. Right now she had surprise on her side and she intended to use it. Akihiko ported from her rooms and she let out a deep breath. She slowly began to finish removing her armor. Underneath the black metal; she wore a black lace and silk body suit. She stared at herself in the expensive mirror and there was no surprise to see Hiro. He was only watching and his eyes were narrowed. He had changed into creme colored hakama and haori. His obi was made of rope and his sandals were reed.

 

“My son knew of my edict and he kept you away from these lands.” The Snow Monkey King said darkly.

 

“My lord Hiro; can you please forgive him? My empusae ways are very powerful and can be devastating. I am however most apologetic to him for having caused him pain.” She bowed her head.

 

“Your manner is different yet you are still she. My blood boils inu and I beg thee to tell me how to stop it!” He commanded of her.

 

“As you are spear fishing; jump in and take a very cold bath.” Asuna retorted.

 

The royal macaque pulled her into his arms as his finely clawed and elegant fingers threaded into the silver silk. Her face was still youthful but there was pain in her very aura now.

 

“What has caused this dramatic switch? I found you irritating at first but I came to enjoy your offbeat sense of humor.” Hiro said bluntly.

 

“He keeps escaping me and I killed a cousin of his. One less Kveldulf; bah! I want Lewys begging me to spare his life because I am the Shouten consort. His ookami kept including me even after they were told not to! “ She suddenly spoke and it was dark.

 

“This Lewys is a Kveldulf? I have never heard of such an ookami.” He said very softly.

 

“They were probably dragged into Hueco Mundo at the time of the bovine and deer species. One cannot support an empire without a food supply.” The half inu onna shrugged.

 

Hiro was talking but he deftly undid the silk buttons to her body suit. He wanted to know more about her and what had changed so much; she was staring off thinking of carnage and she felt his lips on her neck. She had not been to Leth`Evana except to find the ways in. A guttural groan escaped her throat and she melted against the Snow Macaque king. The empusae queen had denied herself for a couple of days and now she was starving. Asuna guided him to slip the body suit off and her footwear was already gone. Hiro’s mind was shattered as the onna before him defied any species and was perfection for any daemon.

 

“I do not wish to be overly aggressive. I told you I am an empusae queen; my mind has been bent on revenge.” Asuna admitted in a shaky tone.

 

“What are you telling me princess?” His deep voice sent shivers up and down her spine.

 

Asuna lifted his left hand that was so soft but wielded his spear with deadly accuracy as well as his fang. His claws were blunter than hers; she lowered her plush lips to the veins in his arm. The way she was doing this act had Hiro gasping and harder than he had ever been. Her tongue only traced the purple veins and the male macaque let out a strange call.

 

“We Snow Macaque are renowned for our stamina, hence why I have a small harem. Some of my other sons have their own as well.” The royal macaque spoke brokenly.

 

“Should you require more than me at this moment?” Asuna asked innocently.

 

“Fuck no.” Hiro growled under his breath.

 

She undid the rope that held his haori together, to expose his defined chest. All of his muscles were etched with the subtle lines of his muscles. His claret markings were on his side and came at an angle under the center of his ribs. She lost her care and she knelt and as undid the knots that undid his hakama and pulled his sandals off.

 

“I wondered if you did.” She breathed like velvet and Hiro was in a Nirvana state already.

 

“What are you going on about?” He asked confused.

 

“Your heir said that half your children were born with their tails but you did not have one in your humanoid form.” Asuna husked.

 

“So?” He shook his head at what he considered useless information.

 

The woman Hiro had been desperate for, for two years was here and she was using two fingers to massage the spot where his tail would appear in his youkai form. Her other hand lightly massaged his tight glutes and the Snow Monkey king was in total shock. His phallus was rigid and it was jumping. She changed how she stroked and Asuna was rewarded with a purely macaque sound.

 

“How do you know this? How can you do…” Hiro tried to ask but she covered his lips for a moment.

 

The empusae queen nibbled and gently bit his lower lip and the macaque royal was ceratin he was going to fall. How she had moved them and his knees gave out as he fell onto her bed. What she did next would not help or stop the wanting her . The ekimmu queen felt his end and she slid him down her throat. The look of ecstasy was on the Snow king’s face as it was the most intense of his life.

 

Asuna allowed him several moments to regain head function and she stared up at him. Hiro looked sheepish and sleepy.

 

“It was I who gave to you. I chose to do so your majesty; it pleased me to do so. I will rise before seven to begin looking for the veils if you wish to join me. I am certain you do not wish to engage more gossip by your being in here.” His fellow royal said sensibly and he nodded.

 

Hiro had a small problem; she still had not called out his name and it was angering him to no end. He had to leave as was wise and he stopped at her door.

 

“You have no intention of allowing us together do you?” the thought struck him.

 

“I am an inu-empusae/ekimmu. I am not a rabid beast as I have acted in the past. I can and will control myself.” Asuna whispered softly.

 

“Do you think I think less of you?” Hiro demanded.

 

“I think what you thought of me then; you thought me beautiful and my body brought you to Nirvana several times in one go.” She said looking away.

 

“You apparently did not listen past my lust for you!” He said in anger and he left her chambers.

 

Asuna had heard his entire mind; Hiro found her as desirable a woman as any he had ever known. Even above Akihiko’s mother. She could not live with herself for doing that and she pulled out a small cloth bag. It was a alchemic thing which would hold as much as she needed and it would never run full. She pulled out a fairly sheer gossamer gown in a fae style. She would have to be quick but she wanted Tolthe at the moment.

 

The ekimmu queen put on the risque/revealing gown and she felt Luthais as well. She clamped down on her aura and the other Pantera prince was drinking to his loss. She truly wished she could figure out how time worked but she just shook her head. The blue eyed twin went to the gardens and Asuna phased directly into Tolthe’s rooms. He was not here yet and she knew he stayed incredibly busy with actually ruling since Luthais had been hexed and lost his mind. The royal onna only had to wait ten minutes and her Pantera husband was in his elvish form. He walked into his rooms and pulled off his vest without noticing but his sensitive nose caught a scent. He turned his head a little to the right and the woman he had taken the marriage rights with was on his bed in a gown that was scandalous.

 

“By our gods you scent divine! What is this you wear my beloved? I admit I adore it in private and by our gods I am bombarding you.” Tolthe spoke as he was beside her and scenting her juncture.

 

He heard her actually giggle and he liked the sound and he scented deeper. Asuna actually made a louder laugh and her eyes caught his.

 

“I wore this particular piece of lingerie so that you could get to my belly with ease. My armor makes it difficult.” Asuna acknowledged.

 

Her belly was not obvious under her armor but now through the see through silk? It was quite evident. Tolthe’s outworld wife took his right hand gently and pressed the upper left of her womb. It was almost like static electricity and Tolthe felt the mind of his son and his boy was communicating images!

 

“By the gods, Asuna! Pantera are telepathic but not this strong. What in the goddess’s name?” He asked in wonder.

 

“It is my telepathy Tolthe. He knows his name.” She nearly purred.

 

“You named him without me?” Tolth asked a little hurt.

 

He had not been aware she had watched him make a list a baby boy names Kobe was on that list and she had found out that Pruza had lost the cub at birth.

 

“His name is Kobe my darling. It also translates as Japanese, I think it perfect.” Asuna smiled.

 

Tolthe could not stop the two lone tears that spilled down his face and she was honoring the brother not born and so much more. It was her who got out of her get up and seeing her with child made him lose his mind.

 

“I have been on a war path Tolthe; I however do need those whose love is not in question.” She whimpered softly as two digits slid through her labial lips.

 

“My lover. My heart. My soul. My everything! You are dripping for me.” Her Pantera man said in a shaky tone.

 

Tolthe hurriedly removed all of his cumbersome elvish wear and he sat on the edge of the bed. The Pantera prince guided her down his shaft as she was settled into his lap. This way he could touch and lavish as he wished. Their wedding brands stood out on their arms and Tolthe found he could not care if Luthais heard. Kurosaki-Jing Asuna; Queen of the ekimmu/empusae people cried and cried out as her prince and her were one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anum had been brought by Chrestian to the Scottish castle called Dunnottar near Stonehaven. The youngest frere hated it. It was damp, it was cold and his mistress was in a side room near him!

 

“My lady! You called on me?” Anum asked trying to not sound bitter.

 

“I had hoped you would be in a better mood than this.” She replied stepping out in a light yukata in white with silver swirls.

 

“Forgive my impertinence but are you out of your fucking mind?” The former gentle man asked her talking about the state of the castle and the proximity to the sea.

 

“So you do not like our base of operations?” Asuna asked as she picked up a tea cup and sipped green.

 

“What do you wish from me? It is obvious to me that I was a whim.” He sighed deeply and he was wearing his blue scrubs.

 

Chrestian stood his full height and her eyes flashed red as she stared at Anum. His long black hair, he kept pulled back.

 

“Fuck you! Bastard! Go burn with Seth in Osiris’s shit! Fuck you!” She snarled at him as she stood up and stormed away.

 

Anum could obviously tell by her and Chrestian’s behavior that his being here was somehow important. Her colorful abuse of him in and about his culture was bloody accurate. He heard the heart wrenching sobs moments later.

 

“My lady? I am sorry. Please!” He said softly.

 

“Go the hell away Anum. Go back and be bitter like Kameron.” She snarled as the bloody saline fell from her eyes.

 

“What could you possibly want this castle for? It is so remote and out of the way even by what you normally do. My lady?” His eyes widened.

 

“No. There is nothing to tell or say. Chrestian be a gem and see to his return to WHEREVER he wishes to go.” Asuna growled out.

 

“What and return to Anupu? Like hell! Serve that man and throw you away sometimes and then rut you a perfect moment. Fuck you!” Her Egyptian doctor snarled at her.

 

Chrestian could see what was happening and it was actually very very good for the queen/frere bond. She required an unnatural way in their behavior so it would bring them to conflict. Asuna looked around and her Viking love was just gone. Anum was surprised as well as he stared at the empusae queen.

 

“I told you to leave me be.” His ruler hissed.

 

“Oh yes your majesty. However and whenever you say, your majesty!” He spoke with disrespect.

 

“How much lilitu was in your DNA?” She demanded.

 

“I haven’t counted the percentage. Ask Nobu for that. He finds genetics fun. I find it boring as shit.” He snapped.

 

“I have no wish for you here and if you wish to leave me completely; than please do so. It seems it would not be such a hardship.” Asuna said in quiet anger.

 

“I believe I shall take you up on that offer. I did not realize I would be severing my own heart!” Anum shouted at her.

 

Bloody tears continued to fall down her face and she moved swiftly through the damp, miserable castle. She had the Kitsune clan repairing the pile of stones and Anum could only think as he did when Anupu built Avaris; what the hell did he need such a space for? His mind was working and he knew she had no Shadow Hound. She was having a fucking Pantera, Chrestian’s daughter, and the Shouten king’s kid. Anum’s eyes widened and he made a wounded sound. He felt her and he ported directly in front of her. She let out a small scream and she suddenly punched him in his gut. He doubled over and groaned in pain.

 

“That is for making me cry!” She snarled.

 

“I am sorry! This Maec person; you and he’s bairns always shield themselves right?” Anum asked straightening out.

 

“Hai. Every single one of our babes has done so. I felt something quite odd and off, so I went to his brother Alum.” She spoke softly.

 

“I have met Doctor tr’Awnhi. For a spirit; he is quite nice.” Her youngest frere decided to be an ass.

 

The queen gave him a nasty look and she sat down on the over stuffed and huge bed. Anum could smell Chrestian everywhere.

 

“Kenver is not a large babe; which is unusual for my children by Maec. I thought something was wrong. Alum used a new type of camera developed in the Shouten Empire; underneath his barrier is a inu pup and a wraith girl. Lei will lose his mind but Kenver has been sheilding their exsistence. I wished to tell you…because…I hoped it would bring us closer.” She explained in a softer voice.

 

His mind was overwhelmed and he heard inu pup. The idea of being a father was appealing now; it had not before but his back up family was huge. Then his doctor mind kicked in and he stared at her in horror.

 

“We said it was a hex and it turned out to be true. This is why I am in an obscure year and time hopping.” She explained.

 

“When will you stop this mission you are on?” Anum demanded.

 

“When I cannot get out of bed. My inu pup will be born first you realize. We inu do not gestate that long.” Asuna breathed in and out.

 

“Oh my fucking Ra! You are actually close to being due with the pup.” The former healer said trembling.

 

“Well I suppose it is good I have an expert on my anatomy around.” His mate and queen chirped.

 

“This is my own pup. You had no idea? How could you not feel him or her?” He asked dumbfounded.

 

“What has been going on? You want to keep the anger going and the fighting. I do not want it. I want you as I had you at that home in Luxor. Please Anum.” She neared him and slipped to her knees.

 

Her kneeling to him was all wrong and he scooped her up and put her back on her bed. He had been a shy, introverted inpu at Luxor he thought. Asuna sighed just a little and looked away.

 

“I meant the you that did admit you desired me despite circumstances. Kamis, I craved you so badly. I could scent you were pure and I wanted it. I wanted you for myself.” She admitted as she stared at the ceiling.

 

“Things have been horrifically chaotic since I was changed. You wished me for yourself?” He asked stunned.

 

Her cheeks were stained red with it. Anum realized that he was going to have his own child rather soon. He knew when they had conceived the pup too and her admissions suddenly meant everything. Frere and queen were busy bonding and Chrestian was busy supervising the rebuilding of the castle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Both macaque men were cool with her but professional. Asuna had an accurate map of their kingdom (to Hiro’s shock) and they found a veil on the third day. Asuna marked it and the two monkey youkai did wish to enter; she shook her head no. Asuna was guessing they would find two or three more at least. She was clearing her mind and she began to meditate. Hiro watched her from his spot across their small camp as well did Akihiko. The father had had a brawl with his heir and no one had known what about. They were not speaking and Asuna was mentally chatting with Naraku and then Simyth. Her fae king was annoyed she was near a veil and not near him. She had to explain she was being assisted by two male macaque youkai who were pretty powerful in their plane.

 

-Should I send a scout out just to check on you?- Simyth thought

 

-Kamis in hell Simyth! I can walk and talk all by myself now.- she retorted in his mind.

 

Finally she seemed to wake up from her mental chatter and she looked around the forest.

 

“I seem to remember the reason Akio preferred Honshu was because the hunting was better.” Asuna said softly.

 

“You remember correctly. Our diet consists mostly of sea food and plants.” The macaque king answered stiffly.

 

“As you say. I am walking in the woods.” She said to calm her rising anger.

 

Asuna could not believe her eyes and Simyth had sent a scout. It annoyed the utter hell out of her but she would give the elf a merry time.

 

“My lord Hiro, may I borrow your bow and arrow?” She called back.

 

“I just told you that hunting was not very good here.” He snapped.

 

“Did I say I was hunting food?” Asuna smarted off.

 

Hiro handed her his long bow and the arrows. She took off in a swift run and he was curious himself. The inu onna had been trained in different environments than the last time he had seen her fight. The ekimmu queen suddenly fell to her knee and aimed at someone who had a shiny metal helmet on. She had no intentions of harming the fae man; only scaring his mithril shit out of him. She released the arrow and his helmet was knocked off. The male fae was looking wildly for who had attacked and Asuna had scrambled behind a tree. Her breathing was too rapid and her eyes were wide. Hiro jumped down silently in front of her and he could see her afraid.

 

“What is that person and what has you so?” Hiro demanded.

 

“He is fae. He is from Leth`Evana. I only intended to play a little. Tell the elf to go home but I was witness to that very man’s death.” She spoke in shaky Japanese.

 

“How in the seven hells could that happen?” The macaque man asked shocked.

 

“I know not. I know how we ekimmu can do it but the toll is heavy.” She whispered.

 

She heard the youngish fae man cursing in Foraoise.

 

“I had no intentions to hurt you sir. I was actually only playing a game. I assumed the king had sent scouts despite my asking him not to.” She yelled out in the elvish tongue.

 

Hiro’s eyes widened when he realized how well she knew these people.

 

“You are an outworlder and you speak my language? Do you even know who I am?” The male fae said in anger.

 

Asuna came out from behind the tree and the young man’s mouth dropped open. She looked like Arianrhod Hammel some but there were distinct differences. Her ears were also sharply pointed as his own and she spoke his language.

 

“I know the Elensar family hai. You must be Itham Kimdar, you go by Itham .” She spoke in her shaky tone.

 

“You truly were only intending to play a joke.” Itham said taking a hand.

 

“So madam what do I call you?” He asked with the Elensar sensuality.

 

“I am Kurosaki-Jing Asuna. Queen Consort of the Shouten Empire. I am also the queen of the restored ekimmu and empusae peoples. I am not your enemy Itham and nor will any of my ekimmu ever.” Asuna spoke softly.

 

“Empusae…that is the daemon on this plane that survives through life energies.” He said staring her down.

 

“Hai Prince Itham. I know what I am.” She looked away.

 

In her deepest mind, she was screaming in Simyth’s head. He had been deep asleep and he came awake suddenly and he was afraid.

 

-My love?- He thought.

 

-I am talking to Itham.- Asuna pathed bluntly.

 

-My eldest son is no longer living my dear.- The elven king said half asleep.

 

“Lord Hiro and Prince Akihiko, I shall be right back!” Asuna yelled over to the two macaque men.

 

The new ekimmu queen gently held his wrist and she phased herself and him straight into Tanath`Sal; actually his own great father’s sleeping chamber.

 

“My gods!” Simyth actually swore when he saw his eldest son.

 

“I do not have time this moment. Daddy and son? You two talk and find out what the hell is happening.” She said to both elvish men.

 

“For knowing us mistress; you certainly have no manners!” Itham snorted.

 

“My son please refrain from speaking to my wife that way!” Simyth corrected his son.

 

The son’s jaw dropped and Simyth was begging her to please stay but she nodded no. She had to go over the area where she found him and she phased out.

 

“What is the great calamity father?” He asked the king.

 

“You were killed by the ekimmu of Ice. That was thousands of years ago. You were revered as a demi-god and Beren fell in love with her because she sobbed and tried to bury you.” The elven king relayed a shorter version.

 

“She swore to me out there that none of her ekimmu now would harm me. I just remember waking up in that forest this morning. Yesterday, Beren and I had been intrigued with two beauties.” Itham spoke and the intelligent young man realized something had been off.

 

“Who would do such a thing? Who would bring back a dead prince who means nothing in the long run?” His son asked.

 

Simyth had no clue and his mind was on over drive. He had always said that his eldest son would have charmed Asuna in two seconds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hiro was astonished but she kept her word as she appeared back in her black-pewter armor. He could not see her feminine form underneath. She was still winded and he used his base language to tell Akihiko to get guards to secure this area.

 

“You commanded him to secure this area.” She said still breathing hard.

 

“Hai, I spoke in macaque. How would you know that?” Hiro asked surprised.

 

“You are a good ruler Lord Hiro; you do what common sense says.” Asuna stood

 

“You are not alright; I insist we return to my palace now.” The Snow Monkey king commanded.

 

Before she could say or do anything; Hiro had picked her up and ported to his own bedroom. He laid her upon his bed and he summoned his physician.

 

“What the hell is this metal?” He demanded.

 

“It is only found in one plane, Annwyn. I had my son-in-law bring much back to me. My alpha mate used to rule that plane and I have attached his yoki to the metal.” She spoke with her eyes closed.

 

“The physician is on his way. Can you assist me so that you can be looked after or does that have to be limited as well?” He said and he realized he was bitter.

 

Asuna stared at him and one tear stung her eyes that began to burn her amethyst color. She had to unlock the gauntlet from her upper arm and so on. Hiro figured it out and soon she had on a thin chain mail top and her black leggings. There was some sort of belt around her lower belly and the macaque just sat back and looked the other way.

 

“Why did you and Akihiko fight over me? I told you it was my empusae yoki that caused him to react to me.” The half inu onna said above a pained whisper.

 

“Funnily enough inu but Akihiko is still mad for you. He made his own decisions and that had nothing to do with your yoki.” Hiro growled in response.

 

An older male macaque came in and his hair was barely past shoulder length. He wore more priest like robes and he knelt next to the bed. The macaque doctor frowned and he removed the band around her stomach and Hiro mouth was agape. Her skin was clammy and she knew what was happening but her pup was high up in her uterus. The old doctor gently pressed his hands over her belly and his eyes widened.

 

“How is this possible?” the physician asked.

 

“Odd shaped womb and my people’s medicine.” She groaned softly.

 

“The pup has to be born but I do not see how without your losing your bairns.” The old macaque shook his head.

 

Sweat began to pour down her face and Hiro realized she was in labor. She was suffering labor pains and barely showing it. Her mind was screaming for her frere but she was getting panicky.

 

“Lady Asuna you have been in labor? Are you insane?” Hiro demanded.

 

“If I put an image in your head; could you port to it? Please Hiro! Please!” She actually begged him.

 

“Hai. Hai of course.” He said.

 

She put the image of Dunnottar castle in his mind and the image of blond and black haired males. He growled under his breath but he ported. Hiro realized he was on the other side of the world and his mouth dropped. The blond haired man was instantly there and the black haired man was packing up devices.

 

“You are certain Sung said he would be there? I cannot handle her screaming in my head Chrestian.” Anum said freaking.

 

“Sung will be there. Hello, Lord Hiro. We are our queen’s frere. You can ask later what that means.” Chrestian smiled warmly.

 

Anum could care less and he ported with the monkey daemon to the spot in HIS mind and Asuna was on an opulent bed; she was not screaming out but he knew she was suffering.

 

“Why not come sooner? I screamed in mind.” She spoke brokenly.

 

“He was making sure I was here your majesty.” Sung Jao Li said coming from the ether.

 

“Sorry. Sorry. Help us. Hurt so badly.” Asuna whimpered.

 

“Umm yes, royal person this bed will get bloodied. Do you care?” Jao asked.

 

“Help her!” Hiro snarled.

 

“I am setting up the boundary around the inu pup now majesty.” The renowned Jing healer spoke as he did his medical alchemy.

 

Suddenly Asuna released a gut wrenching sob and it freaked the men around her. Tears poured down her cheeks and Hiro spoke to her in an exceedingly rare dialect of Japanese.

 

“Why are you crying? I thought these ether beings were enemies?” He asked her.

 

“I want my pups so badly. I lost in my last and it ruined much! I have been at peace with the Shouten when I figured out that their king was being altered by a witch of his sister. I ended up married to him.” She spoke the rare dialect with ease.

 

The barrier was around her bairns that needed longer to gestate and Anum was shaky a little as he carefully pulled out a raven haired pup and the crying was melodic. He almost broke down himself but he handed his own pup to Chrestian and he quickly sewed her shut. Chrestian was wiping and cleaning of Anum’s girl and her eyes opened. They were more blue but a tinge of amethyst to her round orbs. The inu girl was jerking her legs as Anum came over to finish assessing her.

 

“By Ra! You are the most beautiful girl. You have the cries of my clan of inpu.” He wiped a tear away.

 

Jao smiled and he had phased out to give privacy. Anum was talking to his girl pup and her mother happened to unconscious.

 

“Asuna’s suite is more than sufficient for her to be healthy and hidden.” Anum spoke to Chrestian.

 

“You say so little my brother.” Chrestian stated to Anum.

 

“Two days ago I was furious with her and you all for talking me into becoming this and now, I have a brand new girl pup? I have never been like you four ever; have I?” He asked the older frere.

 

“I am certain if I saw your DNA; it would tell me you have a strong streak of lilitu in you. Lilitu were immensely powerful and Ayille never fucked with them.” He smiled.

 

“I wish I had known that. Do you think she did this on purpose? Do you think she let herself beget my pup?” The Egyptian frere asked in a low voice.

 

“If she did so; it was to work on your relationship Anum, and nothing more.” The Viking shrugged.

 

“My pup needs me.” He said and he ported out.

 

Chrestian was seeing that Anum would always question everything and he was reeling after becoming a parent. Chrestian needed to get the frere thrilled about it and fast and he ported behind his brother. Hiro was horrified at what he had heard and they were some sort of personal servants!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The mixed inu had passed out after containing a huge strain on her body. The amount of sheer respect that the Snow Macaque king had was enormous. He had spoken to the Viking frere as he found out they were called. The black haired and unfriendly one was her newest and he was also very unsettled in many things. What had changed was Anum was freakishly protective of his pup and no nursemaid held her. Chrestian wanted to laugh that it was Kameron all over again. Asuna woke up on day two and she blinked her amethyst-blue eyes eyes at Hiro’s yellow-brown that faded into blue.

 

“Your frere have been back and forth. Chrestian? The one who used to be a Viking warrior? I find him quite something. The other angry one has sequestered himself in that dingy place you call a pile of stones.” Hiro smirked at her.

 

“He has not brought the pup to me? I always nurse my own babes.” She said very softly.

 

“I can spare another week on your mission here inu; then I have trade summits with Taiwan and Korea.” He said as if bored.

 

Asuna nodded and she was sore. Her girl pup had been wedged in well and she quickly phased to the Scottish stronghold. Anum held his pup and he was singing to her in Egyptian.

 

“Her name is Kema.” He said as he stared at his girl’s face.

 

“You took her and left me there?” The empusae queen asked in a high voice.

 

“Did you know you were conceiving her? Did you do so on purpose?” He demanded.

 

“I thought of it as we made love but planned no. I truly imagined what a pup of ours would look like.” Asuna admitted with burning cheeks.

 

“When you took me that day in Luxor; you told me you needed the good. What has gone on that you needed me of all inpu?” Anum asked.

 

“I had clearly remembered every moment you had ever touched me with your doctors’ hands. I was overcome in emotion because I could also feel some of yours. You were nothing like Anupu and it was simpler a tad if I had just been someone like Akana. You desired me because you thought me special and so pretty. I wanted you so very much because I can understand what the beauty of your innocence still is.” She choked on her own words.

 

It was obvious her words affected him and he laid Kema in her arms. He seemed just a little surprised that she put her inu pup to breast and his queen leaned back and just felt.

 

“I would have brought her to you if Chrestian told me you fed your own pups!” Anum said with narrowed eyes.

 

“I do not know Anum. He may think you hate me more. You probably do and I read you wrong that day. I am so sorry. I beg your forgiveness. I however am thrilled beyond words to have Kema.” She sniffed.

 

“Do you intend to go back to the lands of the monkey men?” He asked with a raised black brow.

 

“I have to finish this task. I have my breast pump and you will have my milk for her at all times.” Asuna whispered.

 

“I cannot wait to get out of this Gods forsaken era.” He muttered.

 

She finished feeding her baby girl and she marveled at her beauty. The hostility she felt from Anum was not slowing down and she kept herself from sobbing. She changed into a rose colored; modified battle hanfu. She pulled just a bit of hair away from her face and she kissed her pup’s head. She whispered love for her and she called to Chrestian. Anum did not bother and she decided neither was she.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Hiro was watching her search again and he watched her go every few hours to produce milk for her baby inu. Seeing this side of her was making everything worse for him and Akihiko had actually left the kingdom. So much desire and so much pent up frustrations he forced himself to shove away. They had found another veil near the spot where Itham had been wandering. Asuna told Simyth; she had to focus on one thing at a time.

 

Now inu and saru were on the other side of his kingdom and she had her map out. Asuna made an uncomfortable sound and sighed.

 

“Please give me a little bit.” She whispered and she slipped behind some large boulders.

 

“My favorite wife did not feed our children. I believe it shocks many youkai that you do so, you know?” He said aloud and looked over the sky.

 

“I was a mother very early in my life; my first sons were born when I was a few years past my first century. My own mother would have uma whipped me if I had not fed my own pups.” She called.

 

She stepped out from the other side of the boulder and she had roughly shut her bodice. She had an excellent supply going and so she quickly phased to Scotland and Kema. Asuna officially would only say polite things to Anum and she phased out. She appeared back with Hiro and he did not realize she saw the pained look on his face.

 

“Lord Hiro please explain your thoughts. Have I done something to cause you extra irritation?” Asuna asked as his eyebrows knitted together.

 

“I am not a simpleton nor a brute Lady Asuna. You told me exactly how I should be in your life.” Hiro spoke in a very low tone but it sounded pained to her.

 

Anguish flooded her veins and pain from the ruined relationship with a frere no less. Hiro was honoring her words and she was very suddenly not caring what anyone felt. She reached the taller youkai man in two strides and gently pulled his lips to meet hers. The gutteral groan that escaped his throat inflamed her and the empusae-inu was suckling tongue and tasting everything. She absolutely adored his hair and her hands were in the twists and braids. Hiro finally caught air and her eyes seemed to burn more purple.

 

“I cannot be teased by you inu! I will not be teased by you.” Hiro snarled at her.

 

He actually felt her searching his memories and she grabbed his hand. Asuna phased the macaque man to a highly secretive retreat of his that he used when he wanted to be absolutely alone. She deftly and quickly undid her rose colored battle hanfu. The inu onna left it on but she untied Hiro’s haori and loosened his hakama. With her right hand; she gently held his chin and kissed the Snow Monkey king deeply. His mind was gone and he was lost to his beast. He felt her dragging her fangs along his throat but she was not biting. Asuna realized he was in his beast and he was the alpha male.

 

“Can you speak through your youkai self?” Asuna asked with a soft tone.

 

“Hai! We can but difficult. You do not take your sustenance. Is this saru not good enough for this inu?” His voice growled deeply.

 

“I do not want that this way. Should I wait for youkai self to pull back?” She asked softly.

 

He snarled and he whirled away from her. She really felt as if she was going to burst into tears. Hiro had forced himself to sit in a special seat that lead him to lean back and meditate. He shut his burning red eyes and began to breathe deeply. He did not hear her move and his neck was exposed. He felt the Western heir tonguing and gently sucking upon certain spots and he was breathing faster and some cries escaped his throat. She pulled back and Hiro’s eyes were burning red and the look of raw, naked need was apparent on his face.

 

“No! Not again. You tell us no again?” He nearly snarled.

 

“Lord Hiro.” She whispered the two words and slipped his dark tan haori down his arms exposing a very thin kosode. She as well removed that too.

 

Asuna guided Hiro to the oppulent bed and she laid him on his back. His eyes continued to burn but he looked confused. He felt his hakama loosened and all garments on his lower body pulled down. Cooler air hit his over heated flesh and she had loosened her hanfu top portion, some. She was completely engrossed in him and she guided his hands to cup her breasts and Hiro’s mind was gone. He without warning rolled them on his spectacular bed and he just knew it was alright if he ripped her silks. He exposed her whole front and the macaque lowered himself to taste every inch of skin he could. By the time they got close to done with the other; both had begged the other for release and both Hiro and Asuna had cried as the act was not sex. By the time Hiro was able to release; hers had been the same and the intensity was amplified. He was staring at a wall and he understood himself too well. His children were grown and he had become entrenched in the Western princess. She was sleeping with her head against his chest and he had not taken her for a “cuddler” but she had shocked him. She stayed in his arms the entire night and did not act weird or off the next morning.

 

“This getaway is in another portion of your kingdom. I believe searching this area will benefit us. Damn it. Let me get my milk form Kema.” She said and she proceeded to do so in front of him.

 

“That is how you do that? That is incredible.” He watched and her face showed visible relief.

 

“Breasts too full; a female will knock anyone over to get to her infant.” The inu teased.

 

“The black haired frere as you call them; why does he seem so angry?” Hiro asked as he sat and reclined.

 

“At this point; I cannot tell you. I have no idea. I was taken to him by a mate named Julianus for a reduction; my own pup was killing me but I wanted to try. Everything I do makes him angrier. I will figure it out.” She sighed as she looked away.

 

“I have no desire to be a pass time. What occurred between us last night…” He began to say.

 

“Is how I mate and love my partners. We will figure things out.” She said softly.

 

“I love you. I have no clue when I fell so hard but being this near you has been torture.” He admitted.

 

“Keeping my hands off of you as well has not been easy.” She smirked.

 

“You desired me and you turn me away?” Hiro asked flabbergasted.

 

“Have you looked in a mirror saru? You could make love to that image.” Asuna teased him.

 

She was done pumping and she had on a plain silk black yukata. She phased to Scotland and she put her milk into thermal containers. Anum heard her and she turned around. Her silver hair was all down and she was barefoot.

 

“As soon as this week is up; I should like you to seek Juria. I will be in that era soon enough. I want to see what we can do for you to be gone from me.” She said in a voice devoid of emotion.

 

He said nothing and she mentally called on Chrestian to make certain he was to keep an eye on Kema. She would not lose another pup to an Egyptian inu.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Asuna asked two ekimmu spies to check on Hakkaido for a saru kindom that may be hidden like the West’s was. She had found exactly seven veils in Hiro’s kingdom and she was pacing back and forth in Maec’s bedroom. The Shouten king was staring at her and she seemed off.

 

“I need to do the same in different eras here on Honshu and the Ryuku Islands.” She pointed out.

 

“Let someone else do the dragon lands my dear.” Maec snorted.

 

“I have taken the liberty of naming our son my love. Imagine my surprise when I had horrendous pain from his twin sister? What say you Lei? You wish to have another girl?” She smirked at the Jing who had fallen lightly asleep on the royal bed.

 

“Do huh? Did you say you are having a girl, we knew Chrestian is having one.” Her poor Jing husband said confused.

 

Maec may not be intimate as in make love while she was away but he was a demanding partner. He dragged Lei nearly everywhere and Jing sometimes whined and Maec would get silver eyed. The younger man would then sigh and do what the king wanted anyway.

 

“So what have you decided to name our son Isha?” Her Shouten king asked merrily.

 

“Kenver. It is a newer Shouten name I believe but I was quite taken with it. Lei feels very strongly that his children will retain their Chinese background.” She rolled her eyes.

 

“Wait one fucking minute! You are having my daughter?” Jing asked finally getting it.

 

“Hai my dearest Lei! Kenver was hiding his sister’s aura as well as his own. She needs a name. Oh! My love Maec; could you see if there is a way to separate an uppyr queen from here frere.” Asuna asked as she gathered up her materials.

 

“Isha that is a bomb dropped. Which frere?” Her king demanded.

 

“Anum. I bore an inu pup in the past. Imagine our son hiding her too! He thinks I deceived him amongst much more. I am tired and I have no will for it. He can get the hell away from me but he will not take my daughter.” She growled in anger.

 

She phased out and Lei looked at Maec in shock. A frere to dislike a queen stank of something and Maec figured it started with S.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Asuna needed to do the Ryuku Islands but she really did not wish to. She was in the castle in Scotland nursing Kema and Tolthe came to mind. She touched their wedding brand and she sighed softly. It was not more than fifteen minutes later when Tolthe in a black chiton showed up in his elf form and his breathing was ragged.

 

“Are you alright my dearest?” She asked stunned.

 

“Your thoughts and you stroked our wedding mark. I, I was overcome.” Tolthe admitted.

 

“Truly? I love that!” She grinned.

 

“Your new pup is quite beautiful.” He smiled at her and Asuna laid her in a cradle close by.

 

“Feels too long.” She growled.

 

“My darling it was only yesterday.” Tolthe kissed her forehead, cheeks, and lips.

 

“Need something. Kamis Tolthe, I need you.” His wife was wringing her hands.

 

His mind was doing mental calculations and he realized he could not count something as normal. Pantera women were highly sexualized right at the end to help their body to go into labor. He realized and it fully hit him that his son must be coming very soon.

 

“Did you hear my mind?” He asked her gently.

 

“I care but I don’t. Forgive me!” She snarled and she actually ripped his chiton from him.

 

His own mother had told him the story of how awful she had been to his sire. Pruza had loved Tolthe’s father the most and she had overcome him several times in a row. Her poor mate had to beg off. His mind found that amusing but his wife very hungry for his body. They were laid on her bed and he noticed she kept the inu pup close by. Tolthe saw it first and he was in awe. Her stomach was hardening and he wondered if she needed to birth separate like she did her girl.

 

“Oh Kamis Tolthe! Oh shit! Contractions are strong.” Asuna whimpered.

 

“Do you need to be delivered separately?” He asked very softly.

 

“No. These pups are all the same gestational age. Oh fuck!” She snarled.

 

“I am checking now.” He said and he looked and he nearly passed out.

 

“Good ancients! Oh my gods. I need help. My love you are crowning.” He said freaking.

 

“It’s Kobe. He feels confined. Oh my Kamis! Shit!” She nearly screamed but managed to stay quiet because of Kema.

 

“I still need help. Connect to the king and have him send the Undine?” Tolthe begged.

 

She could barely connect with him but Simyth got the gist really quickly. Lightning birth…Airis needed now! Her sometimes Undine lover was there within moments and she was bearing down.

 

“Asuna ease off. I know your body says to push out but ease off.” Airis spoke gently.

 

He could feel her body and it is was full blown giving birth. She could not follow his orders and she clamped her teeth shut and she yelped through as she pushed with the contractions. Tolthe usually knew what to do but this was completely out of the ordinary. Airis’s concerns became a reality as she ripped, pushing out a healthy sized Pantera cub. Airis had not realized they were born in their elvish forms.

 

“Yes healer. I do not understand it either.” Tolthe answered the thought and tears fell freely down his face.

 

There was no mistaking that this was Tolthe’s son; he had her silver hair and the Pantera’s yellow eyes. A bit of magenta striping and the Tolthe was actually crying as he held his son in a blanket.

 

“Asuna, I know you had to push with him but work through me. Do you understand?” Airis commanded.

 

She bit her lip and she understood. Airis had his bag and if he had brought Ireth; she would have reduced this castle to stones. Their child was simply one of the most powerful Undine ever born and frankly; Airis had a hell of a time controlling her abilities. At the moment; he rethought a sibling for her. He was thinking, he would wait till she was grown. Her body was slowly building up strong contractions and she was crying out in Chrestian’s mind. He was there just suddenly.

 

“My queen let me sit you up.” Her Viking nearly whispered.

 

“Mhmm” She hummed.

 

Airis was curious and Chrestian helped her to sit up and he worked her trigger points for her. Her face relaxed some and here frere spoke his native tongue.

 

“Going to need Hueco Mundo after Asta. Fuck!” She screamed.

 

Her births were going lightning fast and Airis panicked because this girl was breech. Asuna heard his mind; Airis had never delivered a dead breech babe so she was not scared for that. What followed was what a pig slaughtering looked like. Tolthe was terrified and He ported to tunnel and to Hueco Mundo. His mind was screaming for Anum. The last frere did show up and she was nearly devoid of blood.

 

“Good Ra! What the hell?” he asked horrified.

 

“My daughter was big. She did not show breech earlier this week.” Chrestian was crying.

 

“Your babe was not breech. Here are the wraiths.” Anum stated professionally.

 

Nanami saw her mother and she began snarling like a madwoman.

 

“She has been hexed! Fucking Sanra! Blood stat and push it in. Get a runner for his majesty and Lei.” She said quickly.

 

Both her wraith husbands got into business mode and Nanami to counteract the hex; she used instruments that had been treated by Juria. The warrior doctor went in fast and pulled out a small wraith boy with black hair. He released the quivering cry of a Shouten and she pulled out a girl with black hair. Both infants were releasing strong quivering cries and Nanami made certain damage was being taken care of.

 

“She has taken in four units already.”Alum murmured.

 

“Give her another four.” His wife instructed.

 

Maec and Lei ran in and there on a warmer were two Shouten babies. They both had shocks of dark hair and the girl was sucking on her fist. The boy had just opened his eyes and they were blue tinged with a slight purple. The baby girl opened hers and she had the same colored eyes. Nanami took DNA from their placenta to be one hundred percent certain and Maec was staring at the baby boy in awe.

 

“Well they just look identical except for boy and girl. Lei you make pretty girls. Maec, you have another son.” Nanami smiled.

 

“Oh by the ancients. What was wrong with Isha?” He asked as he carefully picked up his son.

 

“Old Sanra hit her with hex. One to make her childbirth to go bad. She hit her last time to lose and this time she nearly bled to death.” She said sickened.

 

“Your mother was working on a rather brilliant plan. Seeing how you as just as much as a bad ass now as your sister; go to that godforsaken island and finish what she had started. I want to stage an attack on my whore sibling in 10 days.” Maec said coldly.

 

“As you command majesty.” His sister-in-law bowed happily.

 

Lei was shakily holding his fourth child and he had two sons and now two daughters. Tears just streamed down his face and Maec hated to say; he was used to his queen giving birth. He would not say that though. He then realized there were two fae and two frere.

 

“Ah yes! Chrestian! Your daughter Asta! She is beautiful my man. Alum oxygen for her.” Maec commanded.

 

“Why would the witch do this?” Tolthe asked incensed.

 

“It is when she is vulnerable. Since this whatever his name came up with a way to control her cycles; she need not be afraid to always be pregnant anymore. Sanra has known she could not control it since the ekimmu screwed up her very genetic structure.” The Shouten king remarked.

 

Airis bowed and he slipped out and Anum was incensed. He glared at the Shouten king in hatred as he spoke of him as if he was not there. Tolthe allowed Maec to hold Kobe and the Pantera boy hummed with power.

 

“Ah I see. You were in part what she was trying to destroy.” He said to the Pantera prince.

 

“She was trying to kill my infant son?” Tolthe demanded.

 

“His yoki as my wife would call it is huge. He will be a major pain in the ass when he is older.” The Shouten said affectionately.

 

Maec gently deposited the Pantera boy back into his father’s arms. Anum was glaring at him and the Shouten king cocked a dark eyebrow.

 

“Am I supposed to be intimidated boy? You are not even my equal on your plane. You bitch and moan as you give MY queen a difficult time. Do you think I should praise you Egyptian lap puppy?” the tr’Awnhi king said scathingly.

 

“I would think you would use your head better than to know whom exactly you insult. Go ahead Shouten by all means, continue!” He snarled.

 

“To me you sound like a flunkie like perhaps my sister or suck buddy?” Maec narrowed now silver eyes.

 

“No wraith, this is me. Purely an Egyptian inpu.” The last frere said in fury.

 

“I was working on the equation to get rid of you. She wants you gone. I say just kill you.” The Shouten king began to walk around Anum.

 

“Majesty no!” Chrestian softly said.

 

“Brother!” Alum also cried.

 

“Oh bother with the morality of it all of you! He would take his daughter and be gone. How do you think Isha would be then? Hmm? I know Kameron has been here to see Admal. I know there is dissent amongst the brothers. To me killing him would be a saving grace.” He said letting some hiebie loose from his claws.

 

“Killing him solve nothing. Letting him go his path will solve everything.” They heard weakly.

 

“My queen!” Chrestian cried.

 

Tolthe surrounded her as well as Lei and Maec. Lei was so choked up; he couldn’t speak. Anum stared at her and he felt betrayed.

 

-You set him to separate the bond?- He demanded in her head.

 

-You are miserable. I intend to deliver you justice.- She thought weakly.

 

“And what would that be?” He demanded of her.

 

“I just had a birth go awry Doctor Anum. You can port into our plane; please do so.” Asuna choked back on her tears.

 

“Tell me where Kema is and I shall go there.” He crossed his arms.

 

“Kema who?” She looked genuinely confused.

 

“How dare you! My pup! Where is my daughter!” He looked homicidal.

 

“She said go to the other plane. I suggest going before I make good on my threat.” Maec growled low.

 

Anum was furious and he did port to the Western Estate and he began yelling for Kameron. The elder frere popped out when he saw Anum.

 

“That bitch just gave birth. It went south because of the enemy. I want my pup and I want to leave.” Anum stared at Kameron.

 

“That bitch is my maker and queen. She is your maker for that matter!” Kameron growled.

 

“Well lucky for me I don’t feel like licking her ass! Where is my pup!” The formerly shy doctor snarled.

 

“Hey yo! Doc some of us have new kids that like sleep. Ya know?” Ryo popped his head out and narrowed his green eyes.

 

“He accuses our mistress of much. What pup?” The eldest frere demanded.

 

Anum looked at Quilin, Ryo, and Kameron as he backed up and hissed. He was certain she would settle Kema with her frere but his baby girl was not here. His mind was searching her memories and he frankly had no clue what she would do. He was panicking and he knew from all her memories how she could and would keep her children from their fathers. He knew Anupu was here with Nofre and Ahura; he decided to try and ask him. He ported to his old friend and Anupu had his girl who was barely sitting up.

 

“Anum you deign to see me. What has gotten you off your arrogant perch uppyr?” Anupu snorted.

 

“My pup! She has my pup. Where would she take her?” Anum looked lethal.

 

“Where is Asuna now?” The pharaoh said calmly.

 

“Gave that maniac Shouten and his boyfriend more Shouten. Chrestian had a daughter and she gave the cat man a kitten.” He growled.

 

“Ah. Maec’s children like to hide. They like to hide to other children as well, you pup was as such, I assume?” The elegant Hell hound asked.

 

“Yes.” His former physician said glumly.

 

“So why would you turn on her when you were so passionate about her?” His former friend asked.

 

“I had and have a will. What she did for the others; she has tried with me! I am not like them! I am lilitu in me and my will is much stronger. If she had but listened to me early on.” Anum growled.

 

“What I remember from the lilitu in Egypt is they were far more docile than you are acting.” Anupu snorted.

 

“My clan of inpu was crossbred with a certain black jackal and you know it! Half the time I thought you a dumb fucking idiot but I dare not say such a thing to Ra’s son. Now? I am not afraid of you.” The younger man said narrowing his eyes.

 

“Not afraid of me now? Asinine thing to say but we shall settle that score later. I really have no idea where your pup is. You can get lost now.” His former pharaoh stated with narrowed reddened eyes.

 

Anum stormed from the small residence and Anupu did not recognize the man that had been his court physician. Anupu knew right where Kema was. He slipped into the other room and she was sleeping well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She was barely back on her feet and Maec had sent Hibari and Nanami to Hakkaido. Asuna sent a letter with her daughters because Hiro would faint. Her ekimmu came back in modern times and said if there was anyone up in that area; it was desolate and devoid of humanoid life. It made her think that he was there and she was at her Western Estate. Chrestian and Kameron she demanded to sit down and make up. Maec was still looking for the perfect equation but Anum was nosing around but she acted dumb. Nobody acted as if they knew what he was talking about and her last frere was getting very, very angry.

 

“Where is she?” He snarled in her ear.

 

“What the hell are you talking about?” She snarled back.

 

“You are anything but dumb Lady Asuna.” Anum growled louder.

 

“Indulge me.” She yawned.

 

“I want my daughter. You had my daughter. I know she was mine because I scented her. Now where the fuck is my child?” He said as his eyes were an eerie green-black.

 

“I do not have your child. I have my children and that is all I have. There was a pup that died, could that be what you are referring?” Asuna asked.

 

“I hate you. I fucking hate you! I should go find that bitch to wipe out this bitch!” He hissed at her.

 

She was on him and her claws were glowing green as she choked him. Anum was way more powerful but she was his maker; she would always be the strongest. He was making choking sounds and his frere heard the scuffle but none helped.

 

“You dare threaten me? I questioned this. I questioned if this was a good idea and you asked me to do it. I did not listen to you? Am I supposed to bend over and LICK YOUR ASS?” She snarled at him.

 

She released him and he had Dakkasou burns on his throat and puncture wounds. Bloody tears fell down her face and she whirled around to stare at him.

 

“I am sorry for all this.” She wept softly.

 

“Spare me.” He snapped.

 

Chrestian moved and knocked him over the head.

 

“Maec was certain he would be cured?” She asked hiccuping.

 

“Ja my love. He will have to be bled and in a death sleep. You can go with Anupu back and make certain it worked.” Her viking stated with a sigh.

 

“Never again! I am never making another frere again!” She snarled as she walked out of her living room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nanami had seen the odd saru in the ER now and again but a real Snow saru? She had seen once. She suspected they still existed but they were super secretive like her jii-chan. Hibari’s mouth had dropped open staring at the macaque youkai and Hiro was amused that one of her children should be so mind blown.

 

“Hai madam. I assure we are quite like you in our ningen like forms. I however cannot vouch for our simian ones.” Hiro tried not to smirk.

 

“Monkey man has a sense of humor!” Hibari chortled.

 

“Monkey man? I am the Snow Monkey king. Domo arigatou.” The macaque ruler stared her down.

 

“Now monkey man is all serious. Come on dude, untighten your undies a little. Okay? Let’s get this show on the road!” The youngest of Naraku’s adult daughters smirked.

 

Nanami shook her head and one time she thought her elder sister too nutty. Hiro stood up and came over to the green eyed beauty.

 

“You and she do not share fathers. I am going to hazard a guess and say; the dark hanyou sired that.” He whispered conspiring.

 

“You would be correct sir. She is Ito-Matsuda Hibari. I am tr’Awnhi-Yamasaki Nanamai.” She introduced herself.

 

“Well seeing as the first meeting with your lovely life giver gave me migraines for days; I have learned the females of your family are unusually powerful. Your mother has also become a lifelong friend.” The macaque said bowing his head.

 

“He loves her. He wants to jump her.” Hibari tittered and she faded out.

 

“What the hell is your sister?” He asked horrified.

 

“She is a hybrid Shouten. When she was born; her yoki showed a perfect blending of Chichi N and Haha. I mean perfect blending. Nobody realized that she was in truth; wereinu walking. She stayed in her ningen form always. Well she was a pacifist for a long time then when Haha and Maec were at war, Sanra stabbed Hibari to death. Maec thought well; I can do something with this. He orders one of his strongest adult kids…go ahead and turn her Shouten. Well, he did and Hibari got her sass back as well as a major power boost. She went on a killing spree the likes we had not seen since before Haha had died…” Nanami was chatting.

 

“What did you say?” Hiro said horrified.

 

“Oh my mother? She was dead for a century. She has been reincarnated several times. Thing is she remembers most of the lives. She was not supposed to die we found out. Hell a bunch of our family was not supposed to die but they did. It is who Haha was.” She said looking away.

 

“This ekimmu onna?” He asked.

 

“Hai. Her name was Arianrhod and I was her daughter then too. My name was Nemain. Hibari was Macha. A bunch of us have been reborn to her. Its just really weird.” She shrugged.

 

“My kamis.” He stated horrified.

 

“My birth chichi is Nobu from the Tsuchigumo kingdom. He is empathic and I am too. You don’t have to pretend. I feel what you feel.” Nanami spoke softly.

 

“Doubly good Kamis.” He shook his head and then took his seat.

 

Nanami felt something weird and so did Hibari. Her sister popped in and spoke in elf; she nodded and begged Hiro for their absence and followed after her PITA older sister.

 

“At first it felt Hagen. I could have sworn it was Hagen; but check this shit out. Mister Hottie elf is not my man nor Beren. That elf though is Elensar. He’s got the mark.” Hibari pointed out.

 

“Oh my Kamis! Who is that?” She asked her sister in shock.

 

Hibari grinned and she suddenly popped in right by the elf. The poor being almost wet himself and the hybrid Shouten did smell Hagen around.

 

“Where is your little brother? You know the blue eyed one and really good in bed?” She asked the elder man.

 

“Excuse me? Who are you and how would I know if my own sibling is good in intimacies?” The light brown eyed man asked.

 

“I smell him. See you later elfie.” She purred.

 

“Hibari wait!” Nanami yelled.

 

“You all are related to that woman. The one who is married to my father in Leth`Evana.” He said staring at the green eyed beauty.

 

“Hai. Her name is Kurosaki-Jing Asuna. She is married to Simyth in Leth`Evana. He knows what she is and believe it or not; he works it out. You are Itham. That is why. Oh my kamis! I am a doctor. Do you mind if I take you back to Leth`Evana and examine you?” She asked quite seriously.

 

“Strangest request from a female I have ever had. Surely, if you should like.” He grinned.

 

“Ugh. Freaking elves.” She growled.

 

She pathed to Hibari what she was doing and her sister all was good and she pathed WHO she was doing. Nanami busted out laughing and shook her head. She barely touched his elbow and she ported them to Tanath`Sal. Itham’s jaw dropped and she bowed to Simyth who in turn looked sour at his son.

 

“I am afraid Hibari found Hagen your majesty.” Nanami smiled.

 

“That is proper; they are husband and wife! You my son were told to stay INSIDE of Leth`Evana for a reason.” Simyth said angrily.

 

“Man. Never seen this.” She said low.

 

“Father! I am a grown man. I may have been dead but yet, I am alive. Should I just be in a posh prison or should I actually live again?” Itham demanded.

 

“So you go to the exact area you were found? You can live on just fine in our plane! You need not put yourself in extra peril.” The king stated in actual anger.

 

“Why has your wife not come forth? Why is it her daughters are here? What is going on?” His eldest demanded.

 

“My wife is in her proper era! I can remember because of our unique natures. Airis told me her child birth went very badly. Is she alright?” He asked Nanami.

 

“She nearly bled out having Asta. We managed to stop the bleeding and I found the signs of that bitch’s hex. I was going to examine Itham to see if there had been dark alchemy used. Since I married Alum; I have been around Juria often. She has taught me many small things.” The young woman spoke gently.

 

“I will path ahead to Airis. You will go with her now Itham!” Simyth commanded.

 

“Yes great father.” His eldest son bowed and looked pissed off.

 

Nanami waited for him and he looked at her as they walked.

 

“Time is a plane you know. Ekimmu bend it very easily.” She spoke to just speak.

 

“Elves are not unintelligent madam. Ah here is Airis to continue to obsess.” He rolled his eyes.

 

“Do you have anything for obstinate and ungrateful brats in your realm?” Airis asked.

 

“Healer may I remind you…” Itham started.

 

“Might I remind you Itham Elensar, that my mother is the queen of this place! Your father asked me to check you over and that is what I am going to do. So quit being a spoiled prince and sit on the kamis damn exam table!” Nanami growled.

 

Itham gave her a nasty look and she thought for half a second no wonder Gwydion slashed him. Airis looked at her funny.

 

“Sorry! He kind of has a bad manner.” She hissed.

 

“Still!” The Undine snapped.

 

“Go find my baby sister and watch her!” She growled at him.

 

“Wrong era.” He replied smugly.

 

“Too fucking bad.” Nanami growled.

 

Itham had stripped down to just his bottoms and her throat was dry. She was quickly looking for any marks that looked like runic symbols or even occult symbols. He had nothing of the kind and she suddenly ported out. Itham stared at Airis and was shocked.

 

“Well what was that about?”He asked the palace healer.

 

“She is almost exactly like her mother. She is empusae as well. Although how can she port in and out of Leth`Evana. That is a new power.” He commented.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The alchemy had taken almost two weeks but Asuna watched from away from him. He woke up with a nasty headache and he shook his head. He stared around his room and he realized he was in Egypt. He wondered if he had dreamed but it had seemed all so real. He slowly got up and he was in his normal everything. Anum slowly moved to the throne room of the Luxor palace and Anupu was there with the Princess Ahura and Prince Nofre. He blinked and images of that other world faded as this was familiar. This was normal. Asuna was behind a pillar and she sobbing silently. She was fixing to phase when he looked around the pillar.

 

“I could smell blood.” He said softly.

 

“Sorry healer. Anupu and I had another row. You know how we are.” She said wiping her eyes.

 

“His majesty can be obstinate. I am sorry.” He bowed.

 

“No worries Doctor. I will be fine. Anupu and I will be fine too.” She said and she quickly phased away.

 

Everything was bothering him. It was as if he was forgetting a huge chunk of his life. He felt as though he was forgetting someone but who? Seeing the pharaoh’s queen cry made his gut hurt. That was not unusual but this time it was physical pain. His dreams were fragmented and made no sense. Anum truly felt he was going insane. He noticed the queen was not pregnant for once and it seemed so odd to him. She also avoided him as much as possible. Everything in his brain was telling him something was not right and he went to Karnak that very night. He was praying and she was watching from quite aways from him.

 

“I know you watch me. Why?” He called aloud.

 

“I am watching the whole temple if truth be told.” She said as she jumped down.

 

“What is going on? Why do I feel everything wrong?” Anum begged her.

 

“Doctor, I have no idea what you mean. I had a very bad birth and one pup died. I came back thinking this would help. Perhaps I should have just faced my issue.” She lied.

 

“I do not belong here anymore. There is more and it has to do with you!” He accused.

 

“Doctor you are sworn to secrecy. You know that there are ways the gods give us. Now please, I leave you be.” She turned and began to walk away.

 

“What you did, I think it only worked some. I know this is all wrong. I do have flashes of some things!” Anum called.

 

She stiffened and she turned around. Her bloody tears were back and pain was written all over her face.

 

“Why can you just not let things go? Why can you just not live what you know?” Asuna demanded.

 

“Something is missing!” He growled.

 

“I am trying to save us all grief. Leave it alone!” She hissed.

 

“So you cannot tell me for what reason? His majesty?” Anum asked coldly.

 

“I will not tell you for my sanity. I refuse to go insane because I tried. Okay?” She snarled at him as she began to sob.

 

“I cannot live this way.” He said in his painful tone and he tried to walk around her.

 

“Damn you!” She hissed.

 

She knocked him down and she cried harder. Asuna refused to give up her pup because he intended to just take her and leave her the queen behind. She just could not understand how she could not reach him. She wondered back at when Kameron said you don’t ask, you do. She made up her mind and she sank her fangs into his throat. Anum sputtered and his cry was loud. She was forcing some memories on him and he was still frere. She was going to rebind him stronger. She drank him weak, he stared up at her thinking he was a dead man when she cut her wrist.

 

“Bite down and drink. Do not think. Do it!” She commanded.

 

For some reason he was not revolted by the blood; in fact it was exquisite as he took in her claret liquid. He was drinking heavily and he was being hit with things he could not remember clearly but he had a peaceful look on his face. For the first time in a long while; he looked at peace.

 

“I was already this.” He whispered sleepily.

 

“Hai. Apparently it cannot be cured. I was trying to give you back your own life.” She whispered back.

 

“Ask me what I want. Hard to do?” He asked her as his eyes shut to sleep.

 

Asuna phased with him to his chambers. She got nosy and began to go through his personal stuff. He was a young man in the service of an Egyptian deity doing what he saw as his duty. She was reading his heiratic Egyptian and he wrote of his patients. She found a copy of the Book of the Dead. Every self respecting Ancient Egyptian would have one she knew. She finally found papyrus that looked to be a journal. She settled in and began to read as her youngest frere slept. He was clinical in his personal life but she personally shook him up. When he had cured her lacerated cervix; that had shaken him up badly. When he saw her in Rome and told Anupu; that shook him up the worst. He wrote that he saw the effect she had upon the pharaoh and why should he care so? She put his stuff back and she really hated herself worse. Asuna was exhausted when he woke up and she was staring into empty space.

 

“I tried to give something akin to justice. I am sorry. You are apparently too strong a specimen. You are still inu-uppyr but your will is your own. I have no say or will in regards to you.” She sighed and she stood.

 

“You were giving me memories back. Why would you go through this to just undo it?” He asked confused.

 

“Because despite what you thought or think; I do not know nor do I care anymore, you quit loving me. I did not stop loving you. I refused to see you go mad because I thought I knew best. I will figure out how to restore your memories.” She said rising.

 

“I have not stopped loving you!” He growled.

 

“Pardon me but how can you know?” She laughed bitterly.

 

“That I would know! I know you do not ask me. You assume. You do what you will for the others! Yes, the others but you cannot understand I am totally different from them.” He said slowly gaining some memories.

 

“Fine! You are different. I have only done the frere thing four times. The very first time; Ryo asked me to kill him! I thought I had learned the right formula. I want my frere to think of themselves not as my slaves.” She said helplessly and sobbing.

 

“I need to remember more but I know I am different. You put distance between us and I cannot handle that. You put me away and I feel used.” He said softly.

 

“I put distance between myself and my new frere always! It is how I did it. They all said it was the right thing. Fuck!” She pulled her knees up to her chin.

 

“You tell us that we are our own people but then you make our decisions or take decisions from us or me. I am not the others. I am me. I am more like you than they are.” Anum pointed out.

 

“I want you to be happy. Okay? You do not have to be around us. You can go and do whatever you want.” She cried looking away.

 

“Here you go! You tell me. Ask me what I want!!!” He growled at her.

 

“Well I apparently shook you up much before I turned you. I made you feel out of sorts. So what do you want Doctor, hmmm?” She growled back.

 

“You read my private thoughts?” He said getting furious.

 

“Hai! I did. I have had no true understanding of your anger so I thought to understand you better. So now I have made it worse. Goodbye Anum.” Asuna started to get up.

 

“You ask a question then run away before you get the answer?” He sniped at her.

 

“Oh do inform me of what you want.” She sniped back.

 

She was against the wall of his chambers and her linen dress was pushed past her hips and the top ripped open. Anum was ridiculously angry but love this insane woman he did. It did not help his inpu self that she whimpered and made inpu sounds. Her hands were going through his hair and he joined them. He ripped his lips from hers and cried out.

 

“No! Do not stop. Please do not.” She begged of him.

 

“I am not a violent man.” Anum stated in a shaky voice.

 

“Please do not stop. Please please.” Asuna actually begged of him softly as she breathed heavily in his left ear.

 

Asuna knew he was shaky in his responses and she moved on him. He sucked in his breath and she needed him to know she needed him. Anum caught that thought. His eyes locked on hers and she wanted to die.

 

“You need me?” He asked barely above a whisper.

 

“Hai! Always. I took you because I knew I needed you.” Her voice came out tight.

 

Anum pressed his forehead to hers and snapped his hips. She whined and her youngest frere continued to drive her out of her skull. She wanted to scream at him that besides this; she needed him for other stuff. She wanted to scream about much but she could only let out soft cries and the whining. He was one who could last longer if he chose and her voice was getting raw. Anum savored every second and every motion that he shared with her. The joy was indescribable and he loved her. He wanted to slap her stupid for thinking otherwise. She was losing her mind and her fangs sank into his jugular several times. The last caused him to stiffen and spill deep. He was out of breath and she shaking all over.

 

“You said bad birth! Surely you would have defense against pregnancy right now?” He asked suddenly.

 

“Hai. You yourself are the one who came up with it.” She breathed as she slid down the wall.

 

“I need my memories back. It is all convoluted right now. I think I remember some things but I cannot be sure. May I ask why could you no just ask me what I wanted?” Anum asked her.

 

“I suppose I was thinking; I have done this four other times, I know what I am doing. I am sorry, so very very sorry.” She looked down and away.

 

“You are royalty though. Royalty tend to think they are right no matter what. It is not to say that you are bad but it is arrogance.” He pointed out.

 

“You are correct Anum.” Asuna sighed.

 

“I am seeing a tiny girl. She has black hair and your eyes. Your inpu marks as well. Who is she?” He asked confused.

 

He saw her agitated and her mental shields were slammed up. She knew if she wanted this to work; she could not keep Kema from him. She also was scared he would get angry and morose again.

 

“I will be right back.” She whispered.

 

Anum was anxious and she phased back in within five minutes. The pup he had seen in his head was in her arms. She was still a petite girl and her eyes were open. She gently laid their pup in his arms and she sat down.

 

“This is Kema. She was a surprise to me till almost the end. Her brother Kenver is Shouten and he made a barrier from the womb. I told you about her as soon as I knew. Things had already gone sour.” She told him the truth.

 

“My pup? She is my pup?” He asked dropping his jaw.

 

“You were so angry that you intended to leave me and take her. Nobody takes my children from me, no one!” She said getting agitated.

 

“Why in the hell would I be so angry? I do not understand.” Anum asked confused.

 

“I do not understand either. None of us that know you understood but I was afraid you would take our girl from me. As you told me, I could have more girls.” She said with trembling lips.

 

“No, no this is not me! Wanting you to hear me and understand my mind yes! That is me but this anger makes no sense.” He shook his head.

 

Anum stared at his baby girl and she stared at him with Asuna’s eyes. He melted in two seconds and Asuna saw him fall flat on his face in love with his girl.

 

“I did not think I would have any pups this young but she is most beautiful! I would say she rivals the princess!” He grinned.

 

“Goose. They are sisters.” She smiled.

 

“Well I think her a tad prettier. You are nursing her?” He asked.

 

“Well hai.” Asuna smiled.

 

He handed her over and she undid her linen that she had fixed. Kema was a normal feeder. Asta and Kobe were voracious feeders. Kenver and Nuan were still maturing a little. Anum insisted he wanted to go back but she felt safer that he stay there for now until she could figure out what happened. He played the, what I want card on her and she snarled, fine! Anupu agreed that the Anum he had spoken to was not the man he knew. Now all she had to do was figure out; was that how he actually was or did Sanra have a hand in this too?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anum was back amongst his brothers. Shocked as hell they were, he was shocked by his behavior but Asuna was acting how he needed her to be and that helped their relationship. She realized all her frere had their own progeny; eventually the other four would come sniffing and saying they wanted more. Kameron stared at Chrestian still jealously and it was because the Viking had one more of something than he did. She wanted to scream. She really did.

 

She popped into her Leth`Evana and Itham gave her a snarky wave. She flipped him off. Simyth chuckled and loved his wife. She stayed a few days and Arlayna got free of her nannies and she was beginning to run. Asuna jumped up and intended to go after her.

 

“Do not let her think you are chasing her my love; she has your porting ability. She loves to use it.” He chuckled.

 

“What? You have not binded her?” She looked horrified.

 

“She can only port around Tanath`Sal. I would not take away all of her abilities; she must learn to control them.” They talked as they walked along to get her.

 

They heard squeals of laughter and Itham walked forward and handed off Arlayna.

 

“She has finally figured out I am her big big brother. She told me I was a big fat poopy head liar.” Itham looked at Asuna.

 

“Do not look at me, I do not speak that way!” Asuna crossed her arms.

 

“Bari does!” Arlayna grinned.

 

“Big sister needs a whipping I see.” She shook her.

 

“Bari good!” The tiny girl said indignantly.

 

“Apologize to Itham please.” Simyth commanded.

 

“For being big fat or poopy head?” His youngest child inquired.

 

Asuna could not help it and she busted out laughing. She fell against a wall and after all the stress; her tiny half elf daughter saying “poopy head” was hysterical.

 

“All of what you spoke. Apologize and go to your nannies.” He commanded.

 

“Yes Daddy. I do not see I say bad. I know not him.” She shook her silver head.

 

“She can speak properly if she wishes!” Itham pointed at his baby sister.

 

“I am not a poopy head!” She stuck her tongue out at him.

 

Arlayna again ported and Simyth hung his head.

 

“Son, my beloved eldest son…you have been nothing if not hard to get along with since your awakening. Why? Do I stop my daily vigils?” The king demanded.

 

“No. You still see our mother. Where is my sister? I see Beren and Hagen sometimes.” He complained.

 

“Your sister was banished because she would have killed Ireth. I realize what it is, this is not usual but it works in my happiness. Does that concern you?” Simyth asked.

 

“How did I die?” He demanded.

 

“It does not matter! You are returned to life.” His father said angrily.

 

“Well it seems nothing I want is important.” He snapped angrily and he stalked away.

 

“Has he always been so hard headed?” Asuna asked softly.

 

“Actually yes. Not the easiest of my boys to be honest. Hagen was the easiest. Beren was next but as you know how stubborn he can be.” He sighed.

 

“Oh don’t I know. I need to head out. I will be back in a few days. Okay?” She murmured.

 

“Of course my love. Pay no mind to Itham. He drove Nanami furious.” He sighed.

 

“That is difficult to do. Jeez!” She griped.

 

“Until I can find out what is going on then I must sequester him and he hates it. He has no issue with my marriage to you; he was an amorous young man himself. Frankly, I think he would try to go through your daughters.” Simyth said bluntly.

 

Asuna chortled and kissed him deeply. She did her duties amongst her Leth`Evana families. For now Tolthe came to Kobe but he had been shown to the people when Luthais was gone. She was mad for her Pantera prince and she had to get her armor back on and get busy. First she had a wraith to thank.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jao stayed busy with his crazy insanity but he loved his family. He saw his mother in law standing in the door of his personal study at the frontier home.

 

“My lady!” He bowed.

 

“Stop it Jao. I have never properly thanked you for your help in my last several births.” His queen spoke.

 

Lei always said her voice could send chills. Right now chills went down his spine. He stuttered and blushed.

 

“If you had not told me to fight for my family; I would still be miserable.” Sung blushed.

 

Her eyes were now hypnotic and she placed her hand over his. She had phased them to the Dornod Mongolia Step. His dark eyes wide and this was near his childhood home. He looked back at the queen and she smiled.

 

“They are worried about me. I will paint walls with blood as soon as I can. I can also appreciate those in my family.” Asuna said behind him softly.

 

“Lei tell you we used to play around here?” His smile beguiled.

 

“Hai he did. Jao. Doctor Sung. Forgive me.” She whimpered.

 

She was in his personal space and the kiss was unexpected. Her instincts as a mother were so strong at the moment and he had helped to save several. Asuna had intended innocence; but Jao was a Jing. How in the hell his mother in law was kissing as passionately as she would Lei; if he had thought process. Her clawed hands went through his shoulder length black hair and the way her claws massaged his scalp as her tongue teased him to fall to his knees. She pulled back away from his mouth and she was breathing hard. Sung Jao Li was unable to think or react.

 

“Ok Kamis! What came over me.” She whispered horrified.

 

“I…I…have never. I am.” He said befuddled.

 

“Jao, I am so sorry! I just wanted to say thank you.” Asuna was mortified now.

 

“I am married. I…oh my gods.” His mind was processing.

 

“You saved my babes.” His queen whispered hoarsely, as if under some intense spell.

 

She crawled toward him and ripped open his mandarin black button down. Her own sweater was now split and she was attacking his mouth. His smooth white skin of his chest showed a young man who kept healthy and had slight muscles. Of course he thought her beautiful, most Jings thought her so. This moment his brain refused to function morally and they sank to the grass. They had to breathe and sweat had formed on her brow. He too was bathed in dew.

 

“My lady, I am a healer; a doctor. It is my job…” He tried to reason.

 

“So much pain Jao. You had given me hope again. You treated me with honor. I am so wrong for this.” She admonished herself and trying to fight the unknown, magic like pull.

 

He tried to speak but he was ethereal. The strength of her ability to cause him to become ether was beyond his understanding and the hypnotic pulsing of her inner glow was mesmeric. She was taking him ethereally versus physically, the spasms of the ether was almost too much, too intimate. He was not burned by her soul’s energy like some and he lost track of everything. Time meant nothing like this and he did this sometimes but this fragmitized him. He was on his back corporeal in Hueco Mundo. It had never happened like this; a belated reaction so fervid, his body began to quake. Jao’s deliverance was protractive, it was relentless.

 

“Gods. So much…so much. I...need...something!” He whimpered out weakly.

 

Why had she done this? She had engaged in the ethos because she had not wanted to impose upon him worse than she had already. Jao’s fangs were buried into petal soft skin and the Shouten queen’s head was laid back.

 

She would allow a simple healer to partake of her but one like her? Lewys was ill with hatred. He was gone before she could feel him.

 

“My queen.” It came out so hoarsely and she knew him now even better than her child.

 

“Tell me what you need.” She whispered.

 

“I…should..” Jao tried to speak but it was he who laid her back.

 

His full lips roamed her skin and she moaned softly undoing on every single level. They rolled several times as the passion deepened. His mind was screaming to function.

 

“My queen. Your thanks are more than I deserve. I have no idea why I have allowed myself…” Sung spoke.

 

“It is me Jao. You saved Kema. You helped Phelan and Ahura.You helped Nobu after we lost our infant son. You make her happy. I love my pups Jao. I love them so much.” She spoke and her blue-amethyst eyes had single tears down each cheek.

 

She knew to get away from him and he whined softly. His flesh was still having shocks from the mental combustion with the truly most stunning soul he had ever seen. Their clothes were haphazard and he was suddenly between her thighs as their lips communicated much. He knew she refused to give into full on intercourse and he was desperate to hold himself to that. Her eyes fluttered and his male organ was in perfection. Asuna could not prolong his need and sank her fangs into his wrist. Jao felt himself have the most powerful release of soul and body. His eyes were white and his body shook hard.

 

“You are without question; a beautiful and spectacular man.” Asuna barely whispered and she cut her wrist to feed him. When he could see; she was gone.

 

He crumpled to the ground near his birthplace and now could really see what made wraiths stupid over her. He was always smart and he could pretend this never happened. She had taken them the Shouten way and he could not stop his mind of the purity of bliss. He had no words. He phased to one of the other houses and cleaned himself up and he appeared back at the Astana infirmary.

 

“Where you been love?” Alum asked going over charts.

 

“Just went to my birth place. It is beautiful this time of year.” He spoke in some truth.

 

Alum gave him a dazzling smile and he gave it right back. He went on with his work and his mind shut out the beautiful encounter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She had on her black armor again and she was in Astana. It was modern era but she was going to scout the Ryuku Islands and Maec was having a temper tantrum; she completely chose to ignore him. She passed by the Astana Infirmary and she was aware that Jao was there.

 

“Isha! Isha! I was not done screaming at you yet!” Maec yelled after his too arrogant wife.

 

“We stage the attack but I need the veils! Do you not get this Maec or are you acting alpha male on me?” Asuna snarled at him.

 

“Let me see; fae boy is brought back from a nine thousand year old sleep by what or who, we know not! Sanra’s brat grows and I find that intolerable. I want my bitch sister dead along with her evil fuck face ekimmu. Shall I go on?” He roared.

 

“Evil does not look good on you anymore my love. Warn any Shadow Hounds; I will kill them simply for being.” She walked out.

 

Maec went into his infirmary and his brother and his male spouse stood by. Nanami was somewhere and he wanted to snarl. Lei had turned into mother hen. His personal family was just dandy.

 

“My wife is unbalanced. She just said she would kill any Shadow Hound just because they were Kveldulf.” He snapped.

 

“Your queen is not acting herself I have noticed, my king. Since I am Jing and she gets a little less pissy with our clan…” Jao suggested.

 

“Good thinking. Your cousin becomes unable to function until his infant sits up?” The Shouten king snarked.

 

Alum chortled and Jao shot him a look. Jao sighed and walked beside Maec.

 

“Lei was alone because of that monster. Please my king; give him time?” Sung asked softly.

 

“Ugh! Jings. Go find my wife. Use the alchemy I have taught you, if need be.” He commanded.

 

Alum came up behind him and wrapped his arms around his middle and hugged him. Jao was tense as hell and Alum chocked it up to Nanami being in Athens.

 

“She will be home tomorrow.” He whispered.

 

“I know. I seem to have to follow Lei and Maec’s wife. I have seen her for a very long time; her blood baths are terrible.” He nodded and phased.

 

Alum knew he could handle himself and he got to play with their new pup; Casteon because eye candy daddy wolf was bringing him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jao could be subtle but he was in the Southern islands in the Sengoku Jidai and he knew how much she had suffered from Ryukotsusei.

 

“I feel you Jao.” She said softly.

 

He became his coporeal self and he stared at the lush and humid jungle. He was attempting to be a healer and not what he felt.

 

“Sung, if you plan to track me as back up; then return to your native state.” She stated in a husk.

 

“I am trying to understand.” He whispered.

 

“Jao please do as I ask.” Asuna said in a strained voice.

 

"Your ethereal self is the most angelic essence and celestial beauty, I have ever seen! You...were able to...to transform me unto my spirit. You know what it can do to us Shouten…I am not...” He stumbled over his words.

 

She phased them, he knew not where and his simple modern clothes were ripped open and lips on his skin. His dark eyes widened as she tongued his male nipple taut. She used her teeth to gently pull on the sensitive skin and his moan was provocative.

 

“My lady. My queen. Oh ancients, this is not what I intended.” He said in her language but his Mongolian was making her wild.

 

“Phase my armour.” She whispered in his ear.

 

He was out of his mind and he did as she commanded. It was piled nearby and she spooned with him. He was behind her and she held his beautiful long fingers and masculine hands. She had to concentrate so hard to move his ku. She had no explanation for this but the purity of it ensnared her. Sung was Jing and he was beautiful to her. He was also every inch a member of his clan. His hands were in hers tightly and she sheathed him. His forehead fell to her silver hair and he could not breathe.

 

“I want nothing sordid Jao. Hold me. Please.” She whispered.

 

“There is heaven. You ask me to not move around heaven?” Jao asked strained.

 

“It is the feel of the other. You stayed so busy and you were alone. Just hold me.” His queen whispered.

 

It was easier for him to separate in his mind Isha/Asuna. Asuna Jing was his wife’s mother. Isha tr’Awnhi was something else. She heard his mind and his soul felt her whisper Isha.

 

There was no thrusting; they moved as one and Jao’s mind was literally blown and shattered. He could not speak Japanese but only his native tongue and it was as if poetry fell from his lips. His lips were pressed against her ear as the moved as one and his mind was trying to think with any rationality. As they moved physically; she was within in his very deepest conscious and he felt her. Whatever this was; it was as if magic but his inhale of breath as not only did he pull out her aura-yoki but she did his. He had never had it slam into him nor had he had such beauty in lovemaking that was corporeal and wraith at the same time. He was blacked out and Asuna nearly so. She had to get them covered and she phased to the old cabin in the jungle. The shack she and Kameron had used. He had stayed corporeal and she realized he had an uppyr ancestor. He was still with her and she was still wrapped up in him.

 

Sung Jao Li woke up and he had three blood bags in front of him. Asuna had built a fire and she did feel a slight chill which was unusual for the region.

 

“Call me Isha.” She whispered.

 

“I am scared.” Jao plainly said.

 

“I do not want a lover Jao. I have no idea why but this was sublime perfection. It was purity and nothing licentious.” She spoke cradling her chin.

 

“You do things that are bliss and perfection itself.” He spoke splitting the bags of blood and pouring them into a cup.

 

“Jao, I have always adored you. I have a secret in my heart now and it is nothing any monster can take away. You need not worry this will happen again. I have no intentions of ruining your marriage and mating.” His queen; he could only think Isha said.

 

She had her armor on an and he was too much like Nobu. His personality was too much like such a beloved mate. He was Jing and his coloring she found not alluring; but spectacular.

 

“My queen you just gave birth and it was a rather bloody affair.” Her Jing relative said.

 

“More reason I need then.” Asuna scowled.

 

She knew their signature now and Konkisaiga appeared as well as her own version of tachikaze. Jao’s eyes widened and he was no warrior. So when she whirled around and pinned the Shadow Hound to the ground through his neck; he slowly died.

 

“Where is he?” She snarled.

 

“I will not betray my alpha!” He choked out blood.

 

“Your new Alpha was Maec tr’Awnhi.” The ekimmu queen hissed with hatred and twisted her blade. The Shadow Hound lay dead.

 

“I am sorry you saw this Jao. Please return to your life. This thing in me is craving and demanding extraordinarily good right now.” Isha admitted.

 

“I can check you over. Make certain you hormones are more balanced.” Jao spoke the doctor he was.

 

“What do you want Sung Jao Li.” That husk had returned.

 

He was shaken to his foundations and she was already gone. He had been in a stupor and she had gone further into dragon territory. He had not a clue in the heavens what the hell was going on with the the Shouten queen; he would only admit to himself she was divinity returned to life. Everything had been perfection of what any wraith species would consider true oneness. He only wondered at her words, “secret in her heart”. He was careful to watch her and she did have a run in with the dragon but she ignored him as if were an instinct.

 

She was quite aware he was following her and she led him to natural cave systems. Jao did not understand anything and he was again phyical with her eyes amethyst.

 

“She is trying to screw up my family’s happiness. I was already fond of you but to delve so deeply makes it worse. I beg you healer forgive me.” Her mouth connected to his.

 

Isha was no tame lover and her hands busied with massaging scalp and undoing his modern Chinese fashion and his morality left him. His own physical self was mimicking her actions as they left him unable to mentally contemplate.

 

“You are saying Sanra did something and we react?” He moaned as she slid down his front.

 

Her tongue dipped and teased his belly button and he was nearly hairless. She actually ripped his trousers open and his cheeks turned redder than any cherry.

 

“Why blush Jao? Hai, I feel this is her but this time, I want it.” She murmured against his boxers in black.

 

Her touch was gentle and he whimpered out. Her tongue she used with great effect to engorge his phallus. Jao had to lean his forehead against his forearm, against the wall of the cavern. She grazed her teeth over his glans and the noises Jao made were a symphony to her inu self. Sanra was playing parlor tricks to stall and creating random and reckless alchemy. That told Asuna; she was getting to making the bitch piss her pants. Giving into this; it was wrong on so many levels but she had the arrogance of royalty now. She was desperate to not give this wonderful man too many pangs of horrendous guilt and “Isha” brought him physically to Nirvana with her lips, hands, and psi powers alone.

 

“I love my family…I love them.” Jao actually rambled.

 

“I am a succubus and most dangerous to wraiths Doctor Sung. I have to find more veils. Try and stay away from me! I cannot promise honor with you. I cannot promise because I do not want to.” The Shouten consort spoke with a deep husk.

 

His queen stood up and whispered in his ear. She told him to go to Hueco Mundo and live his life. She was too apt to not give a damn what or whom he was married to.

 

Jao’s eyes widened and the empusae/ekimmu queen was gone from his sight. He knew she was right but there was a fever in his blood that only Nanami had given him and this was one hundred times worse. He forced himself to phase back to the portal in time and go forward.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~She had learned the calling cards like when she had been hunting Sounga. Ryukotsusei was in mental agony and it was because of a back stabbing bitch he followed. She had a map and she was marking veils carefully.

 

“Hai Lord Ryukotsusei. Our twins are in the other era. You have them one week and then I the next.” Asuna spoke without looking.

 

“How can you act as if nothing has happened between us ever and to see you fornicate with other males whilst still my mate!” He snarled at her.

 

“Future era it is easier to remove and move forward. I told you when you attacked the Pantera prince Luthais of Leth`Evana that you refused to stand by after I was raped by one English monarch in pivotal times. Sanra’s black alchemy kept me from ridding my body but Arthur is a good and amazing young man. You however got drunk and lamented letting your mating with Akemi go sour. So please, do not act as if I am supposed to honor some mating.” She let loose on him.

 

Ryu knew himself and after all her vicious rapes; he would do something as such. He saw her thinking deeply and in armor that he had no clue what it was made of.

 

“Get away from me sir. I have work and a battle to plan!” Asuna snarled at him.

 

She knew he would not let it go due to “honor” but she was beyond caring. She began to wonder about the species of basilisk versus Dra`Con in Leth`Evana. The only person she could think of who find a way to raise Itham would be either Leto to distract her because she wanted Tolthe back or there was another player. She wiped her brow and she decided that she was going back when Julianus was still a young rex and Gabrielus’s wild sire might be found. The ekimmu queen had a hunch and she worked her ways back to the modern era.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Their queen had laid out a large map of the Japanese isles and Fionn, Gwydion, Aeron, and Dafyyd stood by amongst her strongest warriors.

 

“These are usable and stable veils right here in Japan. I suspect they mirror those on the British Isles as well.” Their queen spoke in warrior mode.

 

“Impressive work your majesty!” One of her nobles complimented.

 

“Not done yet sir. She has been doing small and reckless black alchemy. I am certain there is another player and we never considered it.” Asuna said flatly.

 

Fionn was deep in thought and she looked at her handsome warrior consort.

 

“How many deities do we share with Leth`Evana in ekimmu cultures?” His wife asked.

 

“A few but not many. They were made up Piuthar.” The platnium haired ekimmu warrior stated.

 

“You think! I think they are not. I know for a fact Simyth’s parents are none other than the supposed Titans. Which means I need to start looking into mythologies from both of our peoples. Apollo has gotten books from Leto already.” She said wiping her hands.

 

“You killed that Shadow hound; but yet you will not allow me to hunt him down!” Thunder said under his breath.

 

“I wronged you when I spoke so about the Fardahl. It is my kill. Anum has managed to get my cycles under control. My newest frere is also back to himself. He is a large portion lilitu. I want to know what that means.” Their queen spoke with wrapping up in her voice.

 

Fionn could not complain about her being the ekimmu queen. She did right by her top four ekimmu men. Gwydion was happy which kept him out of trouble but Thunder could not help thinking; shit was going to hit the fan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hibari was watching Nomura and her sire had asked her to come see her baby sister. She actually showed Nomura her mutant inu form. The toddler was able to change as well. Naraku was astonished and she smiled brilliantly at his adult child.

 

“How goes the ekimmu in your belly and fenrir?” The dark one asked.

 

“Ready to be done to be honest. You would like Tristan if you gave him a chance Chichi.” Hibari pointed out.

 

“I will attempt it. Seeval tr’Awnhi demanded to be divorced from Nori. I cannot understand the younger ones.” Her sire griped.

 

“Nori was a bit young; even for a hanyou to be married Chichi. I wanted to run a rumor by you and since you know all Haha’s top spouses; there is rumor of another type of fenrir. One none has ever seen. Ismael swears he can smell it and so does Vulred.” She informed.

 

“Great more jacked up fairy wolves.” Naraku snorted.

 

“Just letting you know.” Bari smiled.

 

Her ekimmu husband phased in and bowed to his master. He grabbed Hibari to bring her to the family penthouse. Naraku mused about the brought back fae prince and he mentally called on Efnisien.

 

“Yes master?” His son in law said winded.

 

“Do the fae have a similar set up as we do?” He demanded.

 

“Many of the Greek gods are fae so to speak. So if there really was a Zeus master; I see it completely possible that a persona of Hades exists.” His minion contemplated.

 

“That would make him my enemy and Bilae’s friend.” The dark hanyou stated bluntly.

 

“I will get our elite team on this my lord.” Efnisien bowed.

 

“Mattocks is good to Hibari?” Her sire demanded of her spouse.

 

“They marked one another but did not marry. I forbade it but he is good to her yes, Master Arawn.” Chaos answered honestly.

 

“She is almost a clone of Hibari.” Naraku indicated Nomura.

 

“Then she will be coveted on several planes.” The ekimmu smiled.

 

“I am counting on it. I have Kobe for now. Tolthe will be here soon enough. Have you guards everywhere. I do not trust his twin. The Pantera boy has as much yoki as Nomura.” He said curtly.

 

“As you command.” Chaos bowed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Asuna was in her Saporro home with Chang who had the twins; Manami and Celeste. Asuna’s eyes shone at her beautiful daughters and she was researching. Chang would bring her tea and help her read the old Latin.

 

“I am going back just as Julianus is made rex of Latium. I need to know all I can on the different breeds of basilisk and European reptiles. They are matched in power by our dragons because of an evolutionary fluke.” Asuna stated sipping the white tea. Her girls had private tutors at the moment and they were learning Japanese and several other languages.

 

Bastian and she were long over but the love they both bore their daughter kept them as friends. Aldwyn was a constant as Carys and Brynn were often with him at the Western Estate. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed Naraku and they spoke rapidly. They were of the same mind and he told her to be more than careful. He wanted her to bring one of her snakes but Asuna did not want to deal with hormones and basilisk. Valerian and Gabrielus had seemed to refind each other and that made her happy. Many of her mates had just faded and they raised their children in conjunction with her. Tekeshi and his sons were amongst her dear ones as well as all her kumo. Her four ekimmu in this plane and Maec and Lei in Hueco Mundo. Even the kinsmen of Lei had found purpose in Maec’s army as a high ranking general. She had Vulred, Simyth, and Tolthe from Leth`Evana and sometimes Airis. Chengdi was around but he was reestablishing himself. Ichigo like Grimmjow went no where and she loved them mightily. Ichigo refused to father anymore children at the moment; Hinata, Masaki, Ichiru was enough for him he said. He had no idea how he had hurt her. Maec had bluntly said; fill up Astana’s nursery and that thought made her smile. Lei wished for more but his new daughter was so important to him; he shut out her and Maec which pissed off the King of the Shouten Empire.

 

She mused over lost loves like Admal, Shan Lao, and several others but she could not be depressed. She knew they loved the offspring she provided and that was her legacy with them. It was the same Ryukotsusei and that one grieved her so badly that she never thought on it. Her first love Katashi was wrapped up in his whole entire family but they reunited at times. Chang could feel her painful feelings and her brought her sake.

 

She also mused on her adult children; Hibari and Nanami were most like her followed by Ayana and some Mizuki. Her eldest daughter’s life had finally become happiness as she helped run a financial empire with Karu, Renshu, and Soren by her side. Ayumu having been brought back still could not deal with her life. Asuna had worried for Ayana after she had given birth to a still born babe to the past funnel web named Haji. Her Byakko twins; Wen and Wenling each had a tiger. Wenling had had Heiden’s spawn aborted. She was made for Ryu the younger, Jortel, and Shirong. Wen was exclusively mated to Guiren. She worried about some of her sons; Renshu not at all. He had his life separate in Hueco Mundo and here. Erena was his mate here and Thei tr’Awnhi was his wife in Hueco Mundo. Zihao seemed destined to be alone and that saddened her. Shinobu was happily mated to Aidoann Sahen-Yamasaki and Adephia Yamasaki. Osami was himself and Jouichi the younger was a warrior in the federation. Kenji and Iyo being Tomoshibi were able to resume some sort of life. Kenji even could contain himself on this plane with the right amount of the “life plant” that the Alv had exported to the other wraiths. Emi and Adrastus had three children and they were happy. Asuna and Amadeo had Justinus, Aellae, and Antonius. Julanius and she had Juiliana.

 

Asuna sighed over her failed relationship with Mugaruma Kensei but again; they shared Yuji and Takara. That relationship failing had ripped her open just as her failed union with Chanak. They were quite friendly but that was it nowadays. Minzhe was in her past and she loved the fun loving taiyouki Tanuki. Her and Eyal just would always be just like her kumo loves and the Tomoshibi loves were more off than on again. Mingli and she were always best friends first and sometimes they gave into hormones. They had stopped the demise of Hideaki but he was amongst Panyu with Tsukiko and they were passionate when around. Chen would sometimes show up but she shrugged. Her thing that happened wih Jao filled her with fantasies. She also knew to stay away. Such was her life and she stayed busy, busy as always. Yuudai was always there too.

 

 

“Thank you Chang for the wonderful sake and white tea. Your books have proved invaluable as usual. Thank you love.” She rose and her silver had came past her buttocks. She had on dark wash jeans and a black silk button down tucked in. Her feet were adorned with black ankle “cowboy” boots.

 

Chang always wore pressed khakis in tans, navy, black, and dark green. He would wear expensive mixed shirts belted with his trousers or crisp button downs. They had been together and the passion was always there. She took a book of his and stood up. Asuna instructed each twin and kissed their brows. Changming watched her phased out and loved the amazing creature she was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Asuna had the book with her and she was in the hills around Rome. It was the extreme past and Julianus had wanted to come but she reminded him of paradox. He grudgingly had to let her go. She was only on research and she had blank pages added to the ancient tome on European reptiles.

 

“You know it is dangerous for mammals to be in this area alone, right?” A lone white basilisk said.

 

“And what sir is going to get me?” Asuna asked amused. She was positive this was Pholis.

 

This particular white liked to fornicate and often but he slowly changed to his nude form in humanoid shape.

 

“See I thought it was you!! I found your cavern, cover up.” She grinned.

 

“I remember you femmina! You dismissed me.” He acted affronted.

 

 “Horny snake.” She joked.

 

“Basilisk!” he pointed to himself.

 

“What would you say that I was absolutely certain I knew one of your offspring.” Asuna asked him.

 

“I would say that would be highly likely. I am strange for my kind. I prefer females.” Pholis shrugged.

 

“This offspring rose high in Latium society because he was talented. He was not a slave but adopted by a black basilisk couple who were barren. His adopted father’s relatives decided that he was a sexual tool and not an individual!” She made him listen.

 

She could already see it in his face and he knew who she meant.

 

“Why did you let him be tortured?” The mouthy mammal asked.

 

“I am no one’s slave. I heard about the Cadmus boy and do not judge a man you do not know!” He growled.

 

Pholis had slipped on a long chiton and she followed him.

 

“I saw two brothers of his adopted father then later only one. You took one out did you not?” Asuna asked Pholis bluntly.

 

“Si! We may be white but we are no less than they!” He snapped.

 

“Did Gabrielus ever meet you in times of play perhaps?” she asked and he refused to answer.

 

“If you are not here for amour then leave! I can spy a lovely without a mouthy femmina by!” He grew irritated.

 

“You knew of his birth. I do not think you wanted to give him away. So you made yourself known the best you could.” She surmised.

 

Pholis’s eyes were dark green and he whirled his humanoid head towards her. He did look frightening but she was not frightened.

 

“I understand. I am so sorry for bringing up the pain.” She said softly.

 

Somehow she had known Jao was following her and he got sent as centuries long errand boy. It took him quite some time to get the white to get out of bed; let alone get clothes on. When he was brought back to his regina and Gabrielus saw where they were; his jaw dropped. He had never stopped wanting or wishing; he just was not going to be killed by Julianus Servius. The father of Amedeo ruled the roost and it seemed everybody BUT Amedeo knew it.

 

“Femina you do realize this is a wild white, right?” He asked the queen.

 

“Well yes of course. Question is; how well did you know him as you grew up?” She crossed her arms.

 

“I found it odd but he showed me all the white basilisk’s abilities.” Gabrielus actually blushed.

 

They were just out of earshot of Pholis which pissed off the older white and he suddenly became his basilisk self. He wrapped himself around Gabrielus and made viper sounds.

To say the white basilisk was shocked was an understatement but when Amedeo and Julianus’s wife walked away he shouted at her.

 

“Can you not feel it Gabrielus? There is pain. You two need speak.” She said phasing.

 

Gabrielus looked into the darker than emerald green eyes and he recognized certain things.

 

“I am your true son.” He said softly.

 

“Si.” Pholis choked.

 

“You never abandoned me. You did not want the fate of my materna to fall to me.” He said mesmerized.

 

Pholis looked neared weeping and Gabrielus just communed with him. It hit him like a tone of bricks that his real father had stuck around; that was shocking to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was summer near Rome and she knew he was here. He had been waylaid by her and certain wraiths could not get away from succubus. Jao was not a kind she could hurt; worship hai. He caught the thought and he made a plaintive but weak noise that sounded of please no.

 

“Then what has you keep following me healer? I have flatly stated, I cannot and will not control myself around you. I want you too much.” She breathed sofly.

 

“I am nobody your majesty. That is what I cannot understand. Oh holy fuck.” He groaned as she ripped his mandarin collared white buttton down shirt open.

 

Her mouth was his right flat nipple. She was nibbling and sucking upon it with strength, almost as if he would her. Frankly, Asuna was seeing how much he enjoyed it and not every man was the same. Jao was shaking physically and that pleased her more than anything it seemed. This was for once one hex of Sanra’s that Asuna actually did not mind. She would try to be honorable but it was hard when said want was nearly giving themself to you. Jao’s noises of his passion took on a pained kind and she look up suddenly into his eyes.

 

“I am sorry Isha. I will go.” He whispered breathing heavily.

 

“You sound in pain. Tell me.” Asuna demanded.

 

“I follow some Buddhist principles. I do not touch myself so that…well you know.” Jao turned red.

 

“Tantric principles. Interesting. How does that work for you?” She asked breathing in his ear.

 

“You are killing me.” He whined.

 

“Tell me Doctor Sung. What do you want?” She asked more than softly.

 

The grass was very tall and very green. He could not stand the high ground any longer and her clothes and armor were a heap near them. The feisty doctor it seemed was mentally saying to hell to himself. He was the one to lay her back and his lips were everywhere. the tr’Awnhi liked to do down the clan as a whole but the Jing clan usually were filled with skilled and amazing lovers. They preferred true love making over kink and typically only had one spouse. Jao was hyperventilating alot at first but his lips skimmed over the skin of her lower leg, ankle, and her toes. The queen consort of the Shouten people was so glad she had bathed very thoroughly and his lips alone had created phlogiston in her very body and aura. Her eyes whilst still a blue had a purple tinge to them.

 

At this point they were both in sweat soaked skin, the healer had his mouth pressed to the queen’s; Isha tr’Awnhi had her lips pressed to his but teasing. Jao wanted to taste and experience everything. Jao sucked in his breath as the node deep within him began to throb with intensity. His queen pulled back her hair and held his well formed manhood as his voice increased in its intensity. He spoke such eloquence as he made love and she snarled wildly. He was terrified for just a moment. She could not handle the elegance and sheer want/goodness from him. His queen sank her fangs into him deeply; very deeply in the same spot were Nanami and Alum had marked him. She kept the mark discrete but the bite blinded him in utter bliss and he whined. Her lips were bloody and she pressed her lips to his ear as she sat on him unmoving.

 

“You are mine. I claim you. You are mine.” She growled then snarled as she with that moment moved.

 

Jao was thrown for every loop a blood drinker could be. She had at least bit his mating marks and her walls; she purposely squeezed his maleness to get him to yelp. He rolled them and he had tried to moved harder but she did the last thing he expected; he should have expected it, the coporeal queen of the Shouten pulled him ether. He had no idea how long he was with her spiritually but he was still inside her body as he slowly became solid. The delayed reaction hit and she encouraged him to meet her hips and Jao was shrieking softly as his body responded to the mental combustion and the physical. When the completion hit; it came at one time and Isha had lifted her neck and met his mouth. Blood spilled from the connection and Jao knew this was no passing thing. He wanted her. He wanted her always and he thought things were just fine before and hey; now he was involved and falling rapidly for his Isha as he thought of her, Jao held her as his body calmed.

 

“Healer, this is not fleeting. I am willing to fight everything for you. Tell me that you love me and Sanra’s hex will be a boon.” She growled softly.

 

“Yes. I love you and need you.” Jao said red.

 

“Jao, I have come to love you deeply." Asuna spoke in a pained voice

 

“I could not love you any more my queen, my heart.” Sung spoke softly.

 

She cut a deep wound right above her breasts on her breast bone. The spot was different and she was proclaiming it his. His eyes were completely black and he sank his fangs. There was pain and pleasure from the bite because he went through bone but it would heal into a mating scare. He drank quite a bit of her blood and stumbled back. He stared as the wound and he was horrified at himself.

 

“I want one more thing Jao.” She purred.

 

“What?” He asked stared at his mark and was scared.

 

“Allow me to merge our yoki.” The Shouten queen whispered in his ear.

 

He did not fully understand the ramifications and another passionate act that left him drained but strangely energized happened. Sung Jao Li realized he had secretly mated the Shouten queen and she had a blasted smile on her face. He looked like Lei and Nobu and it made her feel lust in spades.

 

“My darling, you must go back to you life for now. I will finish my hunts for the veils and return to Astana.” Asuna spoke seriously.

 

“Return to my life knowing I gave you my heart!” He growled.

 

“You love Alum and Nanami. Remember that and them. Fill your mind with those images!” She commanded.

 

He blushed but he did love the hot heads. He nodded and he phased away to the Jing seat in Hadasan to clean up. Asuna watched him gone and she pressed her hand to life. her armor covered belly; it was faint but she felt life. This would not have happened if it was not meant to be; She believed in fate.
