---------------------------------------------------------------------

I watched through the locked window, it’s claws clasped like harpy’s talons, their gold intertwinement glinting through the panes of glass. My prey lay almost prone under the covers, his chest rising and falling steadily, unaware or perhaps in some sense, aware of my watching him. No matter. I spun the small disk, I believe my otouto called it a CD? I spun it on my finger before wedging it in the space between the tightly closed doors, flicking it up with eloquent movements, precise enough to jar the lock and send its clasped hook flying from the hoop that held it in place. Sliding open the door, with the grace of a panther, I locked it behind me and stalked across the carpet towards the bed, my eyes surely glinting like those of a cougar, hunting it’s prey.

He lay, eyes fluttering softly beneath those full lashes, sure signs of subconsciousness. He was within the whimsy of a dream. I did not falter as his hand left it’s place on the pillow and slid down to the mattress, grasping the sheet into his hand and clenching his fist tightly as a small moan escaped those coral lips and he fell silent, the small crease in his brow softening into peace once more.

Such an innocent while sleeping, yet once awake, the devil’s glare in those saffron eyes could unnerve the most powerful Shaman, that tongue behind those coral lips could pierce the thickest of skins with a simple word. Tao Ren. My lips curved up into a smirk. We shall see who masters whom tonight oh beautiful violet one.
I set one knee onto the satin sheets of his bed. There would be no running away from me.

---You let me violate you---

I knelt over my helpless victim as he slumbered, moving slightly to let my hair tickle over his cheek. He shied away from it in his sleep before opening one startled eye, and then the other, both widening at me before kicking up with one leg to deliver a blow to my side. I would not allow that. I had only just begun to play. My left hand had clasped his ankle before he could land the deadly hit and I slammed it back down to the mattress, my eyes still focussed on his now narrowing honey pools.

“Asakura! What is the meaning of this insubordination! Have you no decency?”

I chuckled and tilted my head back, chocolate locks falling back slightly to bear the madness in my eyes to the moon, her natural light sending it’s beams into the violet one’s room, to illuminate my intentions “You could say, I am a man of little morals” I purred in reply, sliding my hand up his leg. He attempted to kick out again only to have my other hand shoot out and tangle itself in his hair, yanking his head back so suddenly that he was unprepared and gave a small whimper of pain.

I relished it. The great descendant of the Tao family. One worthy of my attention, beneath me, unaware of me, or what I had in store. I bent down to his clenched eyes whispered for him to open them. He did so, his pupils dilated, guarded, he was never relaxed around me, he had made it a rule of his. His guard would always be up, just like my otouto, Yoh. Just because I was never a good guy doesn’t mean I can’t play with my little brother’s groupies.

“There you are” I whispered as a nurturing mother would whisper to her child “You were hiding from me weren’t you” I leaned down to stare into those silken eyes, like rippling lace, sparkling lace as bright as freshly sprouted buttercups. His sharp cutting voice made me smirk.

“What do you want Hao?”

---You let me desecrate you---

I didn’t answer, leaning down to nuzzle his neck, breathing in his scent. He smelled like a spring morning, when the grass had been cut after fresh rain. I felt his breath draw in quickly and my eyes darted left quickly as his hand shifted under his pillow. I caught hold of his wrist and I felt him hold the breath he had drawn as I tugged his hand from under the pillow wielding a small ritual knife.

“Now, that’s not playing fair” My eyes narrowed abruptly “You would have attacked me with this Ren?” I saw his startled expression for the second time in one night as I passed the knife from one hand to the other before slashing it across his chest. He cried out, a small gasp of shock really before his relief set in. I had not cut him of course, but merely sliced his oriental black lined crimson shirt, that he had previously been sleeping in. Such a waste, but if I would ask for any silk canvas bearing crimson, I would have Tao Ren bleeding before me before the night was out. I slid the knife onto the table beside the bed, making sure it was beyond his reach.

“Hao, get out of here! I don’t know how you got in or what you intend to do but I will not tolerate it” There was only one-way to silence those questions and weak threats. Leaning in I pressed my lips against his, roughly nipping his lip as he gasped in shock, permitting myself entrance to his mouth. I probed him thoroughly before he came back to his senses and bit down hard on my tongue. I could taste the bittersweet essence of blood inside my mouth and I could not help but be angry. My slaves were silent when I dealt with them.

Whipping my hand deftly across his cheek I watched him fall back into the plush cushions stunned before realisation set in and he raised his now free hand to his cheek to ease the blushing red pain that decorated it. I glared venomously at him “Submit”

The hand on his cheek curled into a tight fist and he swung it at me, catching me in the stomach and momentarily distracting me as he pushed me off and called for Bason. I reclaimed my dominance over him as I clutched his ankle and threw him off of the bed and onto the fluffy red carpet. He bounced rather painfully off the ground and I stood from the bed and followed him as he attempted to stand.

“Bason is quite busy at the moment” I smirked as Spirit of Fire made it apparent to me that he was detaining Bason. Bright sparks of flame lit up the sky from the Tao gardens of Ren’s estate. I grabbed Ren’s arm and twisting it behind him, I half dragged him to his bedroom windows, the way I had crept into his presence to show Bason crumbling under the fury of my Spirit of Fire’s endless arsenic attacks.

---You let me penetrate you---

I heard Ren utter a small growl under his breath and I nuzzled his neck. He couldn’t move, not with the vicelike grip I had on his arm. He attempted to but I felt his bones groan under the protest.

“Silly boy” I purred into his ear as he hissed at me “You’re arm is not supposed to bend that way”
He tried to tug himself away from me but only ended up closer than he was before “I’m well aware of that Asakura. Now if you would be so kind as to release me so we can discuss this face to face, or are you too cowardly to even contemplate letting us start on even ground. Must you always have the upper hand, even if it is due to unfair means? Not very sportsmanlike, I must say”

“I couldn’t care less whether I cheat or not, as long as I get what I require in the end” If he could battle me in posh language with that sexy accent of his, I could just as well retaliate in the same manner. Spinning him round abruptly to face me, he took the chance to slide his right foot under my ankle and trip me long enough to escape my grasp and claim his ‘Kwan Dao’ or whatever he called it. It looked more like a glaive to me.

“Right” He drawled out precariously, balancing his sword on a stick delicately in his hands as he pointed it at me “Now that we are on negotiating terms, tell me, why are you here, in my house, without an invitation?” I simply smirked at him. The way I’d been holding him, watching him as he slept, the way I had attacked him, didn’t all point to the answer to that question? He was surely naïve.

I heard a roar of anger in the Tao gardens and the rustling sound of fire drew nearer to me, behind me in the window.

“Spirit of Fire? Bason is detained I suppose?” The flicker of heat near my back made me nod to myself. That oaf of a spirit was down for the count. I turned my attention back to Ren. His saffron eyes were dancing with rage. Ever since Yoh had taught him that friendship among Shaman and spirit were necessary to become stronger, he and Bason had become quite close. Now that his ‘friend’ as it were, had been taken out of play that meant that the odds were not running in his favour.

“Oh dear, Renny-kins, it seems that you are alone” I taunted him, the dancing flames of Spirit of Fire at my back. He would help me get what I wanted. “Spirit of Fire, attack Ren, oh and don’t cause too much damage, just, weaken him slightly if you will” Leaning against the window I watched my spirit waste no time in attacking Ren. The glaive came up to defend himself, but how on earth did he presume to defend himself from flame with a sword? It didn’t take long to have him backed against the wall, his weapon shooting across the ground, trying to defend himself against the blazing heat. I heard him cry out as my spirit chanced to touch him. Ren gripped his burned arm as he glared venomously at the spirit. I called it off.

---You let me complicate you---

“Submit” I repeated and he turned his attention from Spirit of Fire to me. The defiance in his honey-pooled eyes was astonishing yet incredibly beautiful. I stalked up to him, cowering against the bedroom wall, cradling his injured arm and knelt down in front of him. Though there was a challenge in those eyes, there was also acceptance. He knew I could swat him down like a fly if I felt the need. It took true guts to admit something like that. I was in awe of him.

Pushing him by his shoulders against the wall, I attacked his lips viciously with my own and he just froze. Forcing my tongue into his mouth I attempted to coax him into playing with me but he would not share. Pulling away I stared into his eyes. He was not broken. His defiance still glittered in those orbs. Standing up, I grabbed his burned arm and while he shrieked, I dragged him over to the bed by it. Flinging him down onto the covers I crawled over him and straddled him as he laid there, eyes slightly closed fighting off the pain.

“You still have no clue what I’m here for do you Ren?” At his quizzical glance I chuckled “Such a child. Have the Tao completely sheltered you from life? You know of pain, how to fight, how to survive, how to conquer, and how to break people into submission during battle. But this is a different type of battle” I dragged a finger slowly down his chest “Do you know what sex is Ren?” My eyes flickered up to his slyly as his own widened in realisation and he began to kick and scream.

Bracing myself over him with both my arms I lay on top of him to try and at least prevent him from doing any damage to himself during his small panic attack. I hushed him quiet with a small kiss and he stared up at me, as if a silent plea lay in his eyes. I smirked. He understood me now. He knew what I wanted.

“Don’t do this Hao. Yoh would never forgive you. I would never forgive you. No one would. Just leave now and I won’t say a word” He stared at me, expectantly, as if waiting for me to make a dramatic exit with a fancy line and a swish of my cape, but no. I was too close to getting what I wanted.

“When I become Shaman King, I want a mate to rival in my power. My otouto will become one with me and I desire you to” I grinned “Be my Queen” Ren’s eyes widened in horror.

---Help me I broke apart my insides---

He began to struggle again fiercely. It was fairly arousing to have such a beautiful boy beneath you, moving around like that. I groaned involuntarily and he stopped in his struggling only to gasp again in shock and a look of disgust crossed his face “That better not be what I think it is Asakura. I refuse to be poked by such a thing” He tried edging away from ‘that’ part of me but failed considering he was smaller than I and slightly weaker due to Spirit of Fire too.

I laughed maliciously at him and he stared at me, again. He liked to do that I could tell. Probably for the same reason everyone else did it too. Yoh and I looked so much alike. The only difference was that my hair was so much more damn attractive and long, and his was stumpy and short, and he was cool laid back and idiotic, while I was antagonistic and evil, and damn good at it too.

I decided to bring Ren back to the party and ground my hips into his. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn’t notice when his eyes clenched and he moaned my name. I grinned sadistically as his eyes opened again and his hand clapped over his mouth. “What was that Ren dear?”

He shook his head wildly as if not trusting his own words to come out right. I waited patiently before he could speak, while raising one brow delicately at him. His saffron orbs widened as he realised that he was expected to say something.

“I-I… Do not bait me like this Asakura! Leave now!” He managed to release his right hand and land a swift upper cut to my jaw. While I was trying to find my head, after he had knocked it off, he resumed attacking my torso in an attempt to push me off. Unfortunately for the violet one I was not one to sit around and wait for him to free himself. Smirking, in what I presume seemed a dangerous fashion, I pushed his hands viciously back down into the mattress.

He cried out at the applied pressure to his burns and gasped up at me as the weight placed on the delicate bones in his wrists made them twist under my grasp “You’re a monster. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Asakura clan were so desperate to get rid of you that they might actually succeed, you soulless creature”

I couldn’t help but grin at that “You are right fair one, the only soul I have is on the other side of the room” I nodded at Spirit of Fire “But you are incorrect about one thing however. Their only hope of destroying me lays in my weakling other half. How they could burden him with the task of killing me I’ll never know, and he’ll be sucked into me before he has the chance to explain it either.”

Ren hissed at me “You just love to hear yourself speak, don’t you?”

“Yes but” My eyes darkened considerably, which was a task in itself considering they’re black “I’d love to hear you scream”

---Help me I’ve got no soul to sell---

He raised his head and slammed it against mine as hard as he could, also knocking himself into a state of star-sightings as well as I. We sat dazed for a moment before I reached over to the dresser and picked up the blade holding the point directly under his chin, pressing sternly into the skin. He gave a muffled whimper as he felt the tip of the blade slice his skin and I licked up the pearly drops of ruby that fell from it. He writhed beneath me and I pressed myself closer. If he was going to waste such slinky movements in trying to get away, I might as well indulge myself.

“Now Ren, don’t make me bleed you” I attacked his neck with savage kisses that would surely bruise, pinning one arm down with my left hand, his other with my knee and I held the blade beneath his chin, slowly to draw it across his now bare chest, tracing light circles over the smooth expanse of flesh.

His soft whimpering in that accent made my hair curl. It was obvious though, as my eyes flickered up to his face that he was fighting an inevitable battle. Of course, his minds screams no but what kind of body would not respond to such kisses and caresses or indulge in human contact. I made a daring move and slipped my hand into his untouched trousers as he bit back a sob, clenching his teeth tightly over his lip to keep from crying out. Now that would not do.

I swivelled the blade across his belly button and tightened my grip around his length “Share, Ren” He gave a half broken moan and turned his head into the pillow, his cheeks flushing of shame. I grinned sadistically “You can’t leave now Ren, we’re just getting started”

---Help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself---

He refused to remove his face from the pillow no matter how much I coaxed him, of course, I’m not known for my gentle nature. So there was mostly mocking instead of coaxing, if he can dish it out he should be able to take it. I placed both my knees on his wrists to restrain him as I tightened my hand around his length again and I heard the almost inaudible muffled shriek. Turning him away from the pillow via his chin, he stared at me and I saw his eyes glazing over with tears.

“We know your lust for power Ren, no matter how much you conceal it for my brother’s sake. Power is blood. It must be spilt to gain power. It’s a bleeding hand that feeds you Ren” I took the knife and sliced my palm and held it in front of his face “Take it, you know you want to” He stubbornly closed his eyes and raised his nose at me. I liked that.

Taking my time I raised my own palm to my mouth and began to suckle on it gently. It burned like raw flame. Closing my eyes only slightly, I saw Ren’s saffron orbs open wide as he heard me mewling seductively, consuming my own blood. I began to rock my hips against his taking my hand from his trousers to run it up his chest and caress each of those ‘astounding’ abs. He soon began to moan in time with me as my eyes opened again and I stared down at him as he, unconsciously started to move with me. Lapping my blood into my mouth I lent down and pushed my lips against his, nudging his lips apart and pressing my tongue inside. He didn’t even recoil when he tasted the sweet copper tang melded onto my taste buds.

Pulling back he attempted to follow me, leaning up to kiss me again. I didn’t allow him to though and he sank breathless into the pillows staring up at me with half lidded eyes. He was baited, hook line and sinker. He gulped in fresh air like water as he asked his question.

“Why me?”

I stroked his cheek and he nuzzled my hand, almost overcome with lust. Well if he would not remember this the next time we met, I would gladly recall the event for him and take joy in watching him flush brightly and tell me that he was merely playing along to get me to leave.

“Why not you?” I swept my hands along his arms and he arched against my hands, tickling skilfully like feather touches over his lightly toned arms “You, because, I could not turn my attentions elsewhere. Yoh, my brother, although in possession of beauty parallel to my own, if he straightened himself up, would not have presented me with a challenge. That stupid snow bunny, ridiculous creature, I would not waste time on him. Manta? Small, helpless, weak, I’d tear him apart” I chuckled “But I wouldn’t punish myself by forcing myself on the midget. Ryu, hair, enough said. And the girls, oh the girls. Girls whinge too much, especially that itako. For a spirit medium she really needs to boost up her intelligence and shut her mouth”

Ren blinked slowly at me, almost coming back to his senses “What do you want to do to me?” He asked, shaking his head as if to knock himself back to a logical state of mind. I grinned and leaned down to stare him directly in the eyes.

---I want to fuck you like an animal---

“Hao! You pervert! Get off right now!” He may have yelled at me but he sure wasn’t struggling as much as I would have expected. I declined with a maniacal laugh and he somewhat shivered.

“Now, now precious, I can’t do that” I tangled my fingers in his hair and he sighed as I rubbed his eyes lids with my fingers “And you know, you really don’t want me to, unless of course…” I tilted his head back to stare down critically at Ren who stared back his eyes puzzled. I climbed steadily off of him and backed away on the bed as he sat up and stared at me.

“What kind of game are you playing Asakura?”

I snickered “Is baby upset that I released him? You really are a kinky fox Tao” I felt him crawl up to me and push me on my back, crawling over me and kissing me passionately “You have no idea Hao” He began to pull frantically on my mantle almost demanding that I remove it and I did so without protest. I had pushed him far enough that he was going to give himself willingly. He tossed the wrap of material behind him carelessly. I smirked as his lips fell to my collarbone and began to suck erotically on it. I moved my hands back to his hair and I was surprised to find that his spiked hair fell loose in my fingers.

“Not rock solid Ren?” He responded between licks and kisses.

“Only” Kiss “During” Kiss “The day” Lick “Damn you taste good”

He grasped the top of my pants tightly and his fingers pushed beneath the waistband tickling my navel. I held my breath. I refused to moan like a bitch beneath Tao Ren. He may the hottest around but that was only because I myself was excluded. Sliding my fingers down his back, he arched as I traced them down his spine and leant up to attack his chest with kisses. I sat up sliding him up until he was straddling my lap and pulled him as flush against me as possible. He moaned slowly as his fingers unfastened my trousers and I pulled at his own, so harshly that they rubbed against his arousal when they tore.

Removing the last of the material from him, I wasted no time in removing my own.

---I want to feel you from the inside---

Pushing him on his back I removed myself and stood backing away into the moonlight. I knew all the tricks of the trade and that teasing and taking away the body that my seduced victim craved would earn me more fun. He gave a half animalistic wail and hauled himself up on his elbows to survey me with those saffron eyes. He liked what he saw, I could tell.

His eyes traced every muscle, every curve, and the very outline of my being. He sat up and crawled to the end of the bed, slowly, deliberately taking his time as his eyes watched me lean against the wall and fold my arms. He licked his lips slowly all the time, eyes never leaving me. Even at my simple command he slipped from the bed to his knees on the floor.

“Touch yourself” I smirked “I’ve bent you to my will Tao Ren, now you bend me to yours and I’ll give you what you want” His eyes flickered as if denying that he had indeed fallen under me but that look was gone as instantly as it had approached the glazed golden surface of those eyes. He slid his hands across his chest and down to his hips as he sauntered towards me, standing fully now instead of crawling to inch forward and slid his hands over my shoulders and kiss me passionately. Little minx, he was.

I was barely able to contain myself. Spinning our positions around, I pressed him into the wall and kissed him harshly. He attacked back with equal fervour. Wedging one of my legs between his I pushed him back and up until I was certain that he was as far against the wall as could be without going through it. His hands went to tangle in my long hair and I smirked as he gasped at the silky feel. So easily pleased.

He whimpered into my mouth and I felt his arousal against my thigh. Lifting both my hands I let one rest against the wall beside his head as the other sank down to grasp him. He mewled as I touched him and I tightened my grip. His scream was pure pain and pleasure intermingled and he stared at me, tears in his eyes from the pain but still wanting me. I could be very rough sometimes.

“Whose bitch are you Ren?”

He blinked, almost unsure but when I began to slide my hand around him he moaned out my name. I grinned maliciously. I positioned myself at his entrance as he was distracted and whispered for him to brace himself.

---I want to fuck you like an animal---

I pushed up inside him and smashed our mouths together as he screamed at the intrusion. I could see so much pain in those eyes before they closed tightly. His penetration was so utterly painful for the both of us. He was so tight. Gritting my teeth I pushed myself all the way in until I had reached the hilt and remained still listening to his soft panting as I released his mouth and he blinked rapidly, trying not to cry.

I hushed him as he stroked his cheek “Don’t be frightened. It only hurts to start with, you’ll enjoy it I promise” He managed a half glare at me and I chuckled, wriggling around a bit. He yelped and I scolded him “Don’t glare pretty one. It makes me want to take you hard. I like to break stubborn people and that won’t be very enjoyable for you so tame down a bit”

He nodded furiously and I took that as an apology. I kissed him again, softer than the first one and as he responded I pulled out of him slowly. He whined into the kiss as the pain dulled only to intensify as I pushed back in. He screamed again. I started to move a bit faster as he began to hit at my shoulders, clawing at them, telling me to take it out, that it hurt so much.

“Ren, you’re a fucking virgin, of course it hurts! If you don’t relax then it’ll hurt more. You’ve been taught to deal with pain, so try” I pulled back and hit in again, striking his bundle of nerves as a shiver ran though his body and he screamed, but not from pain, from pleasure. I smirked “That’s more like it”

His head fell back to connect with the wall but neither of us noticed as he used my shoulders to lift himself up and wrapped his legs around my waist. I kept one of my hands against the wall and rested the other on his hip to pull him up and thrust back into him. Our mouths met again and he moaned out small orders at me as we switched positions. I turned my back to the wall and slid down it to the floor as he unravelled his legs from around me and knelt over me manoeuvring himself down and impaling himself on me.

He threw his head back and yelled in pleasure as both my hands gripped his hips in a bruising clasp and slammed full force into him. He screamed out in a mix of erotic pleasure and pain and I clutched his jaw and pulled him down to stare in my eyes, his own over washed with lust.

“Baby’s a screamer” I smirked as he purred at me. He stood up, pulling me out of his body and towered over me, grinning before he turned and ran from the room slamming the door behind him. I frowned. I wanted that ass, and he was going to bring it back before I got angry and went to find him.

…No? Well then let the hunt begin!

---My whole existence is flawed---

“Ren” I hissed as I yanked open the door “We’re not done!”

His mischievous chuckle echoed around the vast hallway, as he replied, obviously not aware of the many years of practice I had had, homing all my senses and learning the mysteries of the elements. I followed the sarcastic comments down the hall until I was sure he was calling from my left, in the shadows.

“Oh, we’re not? I believe I was misinformed then” He laughed again “You told me to bend you to my will and what better way to do that than to tease you and play a few of your own tricks”

I growled low in my throat “I ought to let Spirit of Fire have his way with you. He’s not as merciful as I, believe me” I turned my head to the left and stared down at him as he backed into the wall blanketed in shadows “Indeed I can see you Tao” I tackled him to the wall and spun him around, pressing his chest to the stone.

He shrieked as I pressed myself back into him roughly and whispered into his ear “So much for teasing Violet one” He yelped as I withdrew and without so much as a warning shoved myself fully into him “I’ll have you know I don’t appreciate being kept waiting, and I’m still being gentle with you, I hope you appreciate that” He pressed his hands up against the wall trying to push away from it but with my arm wrapped around his waist and my other against his shoulder blades pushing his upper body flush against the cold surface, he didn’t put up much of a fight.

“If you apologise precious, I might find it in my little black heart to take pity on you and put you in a more, comfortable position” He hissed a he chest rubbed against the rough surface of the wall and moaned as I hit his pleasure spot directly “And, might I add, apologise in the proper manner”

Ren gasped as I said these words, almost as if knowing what I meant. He mumbled something mildly coherent under his breath and I didn’t bother straining to hear it as I forced myself deeper inside him and he said it louder, taking my deep thrust as a warning to heart.

“I’m sorry Master Hao, I didn’t mean to make you wait!”

I grinned, pulling out to turn him around and lift him over my shoulder before strolling over to one of the many decorative wall cabinets littering the hall and sweeping everything off of it’s polished wooden surface. Flipping Ren back over my shoulder I watched him as he lay spread eagled on that wooden surface staring up at me, soft breaths drawing through his slightly open mouth and his eyes staring up at me, half veiled by his eyelids.

“I rule you Tao Ren”

---You get me closer to god---

I lifted the violet one slowly so as not to hurt his already broken body. We had a lot of fun even if I do say so myself. He passed out sometime during the eighth or ninth time so I had to finish off myself but it was worth it. Now I had Ren completely under my own control. I could win him over to my side with but a glance and I wouldn’t have to be so damn egotistical about it either. One doesn’t call you master without having you say so without it obtaining complete dominance over said one. Ren had called me such without my say so.

I carried him slowly back into his room and lay him gently on the bed. My prize to winning the Shaman tournament and my future Queen rolled over and curled up into a ball as I stood admiring him. Ren could just be so cute when he wasn’t aware of it. Grabbing the remains of his torn outfit, I cast the material to the ground and lay in the bed beside my future Queen as he rolled back over to face me and drew up to snuggle into my chest. I pulled the quilts over the both of our bodies and settled down to sleep.

Before I did though, I cast one glance down at the sleeping violet one by my side and my trademark smirk crossed my lips. That was so much fun I wouldn’t be abashed if we did it again in the morning. Wrapping my arms around him I cuddled him closer before staring straight up and trying to sleep. Well I tried but that handsome person above the bed was admiring me.

I stared into the ceiling mirror at myself and I grinned “Hello gorgeous” I muttered before I slipped into lost dreams.

---You can have my isolation---

I was jerked awake by the sudden stirring at my side and the filtered gold coming through the window. It seemed nature’s bounty had woken my Queen. He sat up steadily and turned his legs out the left side of the bed. I watched through half open eyes wondering if he remembered our little get together last night. He stood up and stretched before looking down at himself and blushing.

“Where did my clothes go?” He muttered, “Bason better not have stripped me again, I swear!”

“Well” I smirked as he turned to me and his eyes lit up in horror “Bason didn’t do it”

He pointed at me, his eyes completely confused as he stared “What the? You! Hao! How did you? What? Why are you? OH MY GOD!”

I smirked “Yes I believe I am” Ren suddenly followed my eye’s as I looked him over, clearly expecting him to notice sooner or later that he was flashing my property out of his window. He quickly grabbed the bed sheet covering me and wrapped himself in it, only looking up to find me naked after he had wrapped himself up. I stood up, unabashed by the flaunting of my assets and wrapped him unwillingly in my arms.

“Get off you fucker!” He screeched pulling at my arms as he attempted a pitiful escape. I merely grinned the perverted yet sexy grin of mine “Funny, you said that last night as well. In our fifth round” He blanched “Fifth?!”
He began struggling with a new kind of strength but it didn’t faze me at all. He was only working himself up. “Ren, you’ll burst a blood vessel, pipe down” Ren gritted his teeth.

‘Pipe? Pipe!? I’ll give you a pipe, right up the-’ I leaned in close to his face catching the violet one off guard and he stumbled back into me as I smirked “Thinking death threats are we?”

I spun him around and crushed my lips to his and almost immediately he began to kiss back, purring as I slipped my hand beneath his sheet and felt him getting hard already, in anticipation “So you do remember” I licked up his cheek as he blushed up at me “I remember a little but it goes hazy from then on in” I grinned “That would be when you passed out darling”

He turned bright red “I did? Oh dear…”

I snarled playfully as I tossed him on the bed and prowled over his form, slashing the sheet to pieces with my furyoku “I can’t help it if I make you want to faint. Ready for another round?” His eyes widened “You can’t be serious”

I gave a lecherous chuckle “Oh, I am”

---You can have the hate that it brings---

(Scene change. The Shaman tournament is over.)

It was over. Yoh had lost the Shaman tournament. I had spared the human’s lives as a request of my fallen brother’s but I would have to teach them to respect the planet. He may not mean anything to me but family who had been sheltered from me deserved a last wish right? And at Ren’s request I had not absorbed Yoh’s soul back to it’s original place sealed next to my own. I didn’t need it at any rate so a small favour to ask from my Queen should be taken note of. I now had the great spirits under my wing. What could I possibly use another soul for?

Instead my battered otouto was lay with his unconscious head in the Itako’s lap. She herself was glaring venomously up at Ren who was stood glaring back, right next to my new throne. I was sat casually upon my new seat of power staring down at Team Asakura. The blue haired Shaman Horohoro was staring from me to Ren in questioning glances. Manta was by Yoh’s side, shaking him, pleading with him to wake. He would eventually.
Ryu was stood staring angrily at me, yelling some insane chatter in his stupid accent. I had half a mind to throw him out and let Mari and Macchi rip him into pieces. The Tamao girl with the pink hair was stood beside Anna, obviously shaking. So I scared her did I? Poor rabbit.

I spared a glance at my Queen who was obviously uncomfortable and irritable. I held out my hand and he took it without question shifting his glare to me “Why do I have to wear this Hao? I feel slutty and it’s not my place to feel this low”

I grinned, “You’re a Shaman Queen. You have to look like one” I ran my eyes over him. He looked delectable. Of course he hated me for my choice in his attire but I was fairly pleased with it. His long black Dao-shi kimono fell down to his ankles with the splits in the skirt rising from the bottom to the high thigh. The hemline for the neck and skirt flared a brilliant saffron to match Ren’s eyes and Chinese butterfly fastenings made their way diagonally from his left hip to his right shoulder. His feet were bare and his spiked hair was no longer so gravity defying. He had let his hair down so to speak. The violet locks were waving around his jaw and made his eyes shine brighter than before.

---You can have my absence of faith; you can have my everything---

I kept my eyes fastened to Ren, as he stood flustered under my gaze, still maintaining his glaring contest with Anna. I stared at him until he turned his eyes from the Itako and looked at me. Nodding at him swiftly I patted my knee and watched with a smirk as he rolled his eyes and sat down on my leg, turning a furious crimson.
I brushed his waving hair from his eyes and pressed my lips to his earlobe gently before nipping it. He groaned softly and leant back against me. Whilst occupying myself with Ren, I waved my hand at the Hanagumi who I’m sure, were watching me work with my Shaman Queen in almost curious approval. I could sense Mari’s confusion certainly yet Kanna and Macchi were aware of what I was doing. They herded up team Asakura and escorted them back to their cells. I removed my mouth from Ren’s ear for a moment before telling them to leave my unconscious Otouto present and take the others which made Anna seethe I’m sure but that doesn’t matter. As I glanced up, the doors closed leaving my Queen and I, alone with Yoh.

I busied myself again, sliding one arm around Ren’s waist, sucking on his ear gently and biting as he gave in to my ministrations and voiced his opinion of it, hissing my name erotically. My other hand sank down to undo my trousers as I pushed his skirt to the side and fiddled with the loose laces that held his string-like thong together at his hips, grinning as he sounded so occupied by my licking and sucking, now on his neck that he didn’t notice. I heard a stirring groan from the open space before my throne and raised my eyes to see Yoh sitting up and rubbing his eyes. He blinked a few times childishly before looking up at the throne and catching my eyes, seeing Ren getting off in my lap. His mouth fell open as he stared and I grinned at him. This would be fun.

Ren opened his eyes and started to move his eyes down to where the hand that wasn’t holding him was trying to undo my own clothing “What are you do-AHH!” Ren hissed as I pressed into him and his hands rose over his head and behind him to clasp my hair in a light grasp. I leaned my head over his shoulder to bite on the exposed flesh as my hands came up to unclasp his butterfly fastenings and part the material.

Yoh tried to manage words from his mouth but unfortunately lacked the capacity at the moment to do so and merely stood up, staring. I lifted one hand and beckoned him forward with a mere motion of my finger. He followed my instruction still too dazed to notice anything and I whispered to Ren as I lifted him and thrust into him harshly “How do you feel about Twins Ren?”

His half lidded eyes as he mewled with pleasure opened slowly and stared at Yoh. My otouto did not hear my words but he blushed at the flushed Ren that was staring at him, or through him as I thrust again. Ren writhed on top of me and I held his hips secure as I beckoned Yoh to his knees in front of my Queen.

“Yoh? What’s your opinion of Ren?” I asked, smirking. Yoh is my twin, I know damn well what he thinks of the sexy kitten in my lap but I had to have my Queen hear it.

---Help me tear down my reason, help me its\' your sex I can smell---

I was surprised as well as Ren when Yoh finally spoke.

“I think he’s fucking hot” Yoh folded his arms, a grin of his own on his lips but not his trademark happy go lucky grin. This grin was akin to my own. It was my sexy as sin smirk and Yoh was using it. Ren moaned in my lap as he saw it. Two of me. Who wouldn’t get off on that?

“Such…” Ren gasped as I thrust and he panted as he tried to finish his sentence “…vulgarity. I’m surprised at you…Yoh”

I rest my head back on the cushioned high back of my new throne and felt Ren squirming over me as I lifted him and drove into him again “He may be happy go lucky Ren, but not all are as childish as they seem. Upon further inspection you’ll find my otouto has wandering eyes” I grinned as Yoh unfolded his arms and pushed Ren’s skirt aside, pushing his hands up the Chinese bishounen’s thighs slowly, teasingly.

Yoh’s eyes met mine and for once, I believe we understood eachother. Maybe it was a good thing I let Yoh live but, as I said, it would be all too easy to get him to comply with my needs. I saw the way he looked at me, at Ren whenever he saw us and thought we didn’t notice. There was hunger in those eyes. Not enough for it to be complete and utter lust but a strong sense of longing, and I have longed for a thousand years for my wish to become true, even if it is altered now, I am Shaman king, and I know what longing looks like.

“Do what you like Otouto, as half of my soul, you are half Shaman King. I may have the power but you, little brother, have the chance. I think Ren has made me see that you are much more worthy of our presence than I ever before realised” I ruffled Ren’s hair as I said this and held still inside him, holding his hips firmly down. Moving around slowly I heard an antagonising scream of ecstasy and realised that I had found what I had been searching for. Still remaining dormant inside him I brushed his pleasure spot again and Ren’s grasp on my hair tightened.

I nodded at Yoh who leaned towards Ren and pulling the fallen thong out from underneath the violet one, threw it to the side and slid one finger up the rapidly pulsing erection that I had given my Shaman Queen. Ren panted faster as Yoh’s fingers delicately tickled him and he moaned attempting to bounce on my lap as I refused to budge and smirked audibly into his ear.

“I love to tease you precious. The spoilt cat is so cute when impatient”

“IMPATIENT! Don’t test me Asakura” I brushed his spot again and he wailed, throwing his head back as Yoh slid his other hand up Ren’s dress to brush his abdomen. Ren was just about to beg mercy, I was certain of it, but just before the words could pass his lips, the devious grin on my otouto’s face made me cackle and Ren stopped, turning slightly to stare at me before his face turned into absolute shock and he fill limp on my chest harshly drawn breaths the only sign that he was still conscious.

---Help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else---

Yoh had placed butterfly kisses against Ren’s most intimate anatomy before taking the tip into his mouth and sucking gently. He inched more of Ren’s shaft into his mouth slowly. I could tell because Ren was slowly becoming more active again. I decided now was the time and told Yoh to stop and remove his trousers. Yoh did so teasingly, stepping back to swing his hips as he removed his clothing and stood before us proudly, his own erection glistening in the soft light.

I nibbled Ren’s ear before whispering in it “You know what you want Ren. Go take it. You’re a Shaman Queen now” Ren slipped from my lap as I removed myself from him and he pushed his lips against Yoh’s who eagerly accepted and pushed his tongue into Ren’s mouth. The mere sight of my twin getting off with my Queen was very arousing but they had to go further. I nodded at Yoh and he clasped Ren by his ass and lifted him up quickly wrapping the Chinese Shaman’s legs around his waist as he pushed into Ren.

I saw Ren’s saffron eyes widen as he felt Yoh penetrate him but Yoh, like I had, remained frozen after penetration and Ren looked up at him, then at me, pleading with his eyes “Why the fuck are you toying with me?” I sauntered up behind Yoh and took a hold of his hips “Because I’m not ready yet Princess” Guiding Yoh up to the wall beside the throne, I nudged him until Ren’s back hit the cold surface and he shrieked at the cold before pushing into Yoh without warning. A pained hiss came to my attention and I kissed my otouto’s shoulder in apology before stroking his side as a signal. He began thrusting into Ren as I began thrusting into him. My pace was fast and hard and I’m pretty sure that pushed up Ren’s pleasure as the jolting that ran through Yoh pushed him deeper inside my Queen.

---I want to fuck you like an animal---

I reached around Yoh to wrap my hand around Ren’s long forgotten pulsing organ and he moaned deeply as I stroked him roughly as I tickled Yoh with my other hand, sucking and biting on my otouto’s neck. I had both of them moaning now. Damn, I was so good! Ren was shaking his head from side to side, chanting both of our names like a mantra and Yoh was gritting his teeth to keep from screaming in pleasure. I was merely panting softly as I pushed into Yoh and massaged Ren softly.

Tightening my hand around the violet one as I gave a violent thrust made Yoh yelp as Ren tightened his grip on my otouto’s shoulder “Oh Hao! Do that again!” I was only too pleased to. “Oh yes! That feels great, oh!” Yoh started to pick up the pace and thrust harder so I had to try harder and pretty soon all of us were orchestrating our voices in complete synchrony.

Ren came violently after a few more strokes and Yoh hissed as Ren’s muscles clamped around him from the inside and he followed Ren and came into the violet one. I thrust faster and it wasn’t long until I followed the Yoh as the sharp contractions that came with his orgasm pressured me into completion.

---I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal---

I pulled out of Yoh slowly to feel him collapse against me and Ren stood against the wall breathing softly staring down at Yoh with something akin to a smirk. I raised an eyebrow at the expression and caught Yoh, shifting him in my arms slowly to hold him up more securely before I asked “Ren? What are you smirking at?”

Ren gave a sly grin before replying “My, my, poor Asakura. We might have been playing a bit too soon I think… He’s a bit… unconscious” The mocking tone in that statement made me laugh hysterically and Yoh stirred only roll around a bit and settle against my chest, hand pressed against my shoulder.

“Well” I started before advancing on Ren whose eyes widened as he stared from my face to the sleeping Yoh that I carried in my arms “Gives me more time to molest you my Queen” The hand on my shoulder tightened weakly and then settled again and I smirked down at my otouto “Yoh may be asleep but he can still hear us”
Ren purred before brushing Yoh’s bangs away from his closed eyes and swiping a tongue up his neck “Yoh, sweetie” The allure in Ren’s voice made Yoh’s eyes open the slightest bit and Ren grinned “Aw, look at the widdle Yoh, all sleepy and stuff” My little brother swung out at Ren but as I said before his gestures were fairly weak, I must have drained him badly during our battle, no matter.

I hoisted Yoh up a little bit before turning to the main door to my throne room, the door that the Hanagumi had practically dragged Ryu, Horo Horo, Anna and Manta through on their way out. Regardless that Yoh and I were naked, for we were too lazy to completely disrobe Ren no matter how pleasing the sight may have been, we exited through the main doors into the corridor that led to the stairs. Nuzzling Yoh’s hair softly, I gave Ren a feral grin as his fingers deftly closed the butterfly catches in his dress.

“No need for that Ren, it’ll be coming off soon enough”

He didn’t seem to catch the implication in my words as he snorted and replied, “Good, I can’t abide dresses”
“Yoh!” I heard the Itako call out as we came to stop at the bottom of the stairs. Chained in shackles to the wall left of the doors we had exited were team Asakura, their team leader encased naked in my arms. Anna’s face was ashen and rage clearly simmering in her dark eyes. “Release my fiancé! This instant!” I turned around and she saw the lack of clothing that shielded Yoh from prying eyes.

“Oh my god!”

I smirked “No need for such formality Itako, he enjoyed it”

She pulled against her chains and I saw the veins popping out on her forehead even though behind her raged eyes surface, I saw defeat.

---My whole existence is flawed---

She began screaming at the top of her lungs and I was about to summon spirit of fire to shut her up when Ren calmly sauntered up to her trapped from and grabbed her throat, effectively cutting off the screeching. I was so proud of my Queen. Ren whispered a few threatening words and I knew that he wore his now perfected trademark scowl that I knew would even make Anna cringe in fear.

“You will shut. Your. Mouth! The last thing I want to ruin a perfect day is your grating voice tearing my nerves into angry little spirits that want to rip your marrow from your bones. Do I make myself clear” My little Chinese Shaman had a way with words. I think I got a tiny chill.

“Ren” I watched him turn slowly to look at me, his hand subconsciously tightening on Anna as she choked. “Come” I watched him push her back before he released her and walked calmly towards me “I’ve already done that enough for one day Hao”

I smirked before turning my back on the idiots now attached to my wall and started upstairs. The cries of ‘You won’t get away with this’ and ‘Yoh would never submit to you without a plan’ made me snicker. The fools, what did they really know about my power or Yoh’s true self. Even more pathetic than I thought they were.

---You get me closer to god---

Kicking open the door to mine and Ren’s vast chamber, I settled Yoh under the covers of the bed before he caught a cold and pulled my Queen to me fiercely, kissing him passionately. He quickly pushed me away with a soft smirk “No more tonight Hao. Yoh is tired and I believe he would rather not miss out on any of our activities”
I shrugged and kissed him softly before slipping under the covers with Yoh “Come on then, Sweet pea” I accentuated the nickname and he scowled at me before launching himself onto me, jolting Yoh who stirred and woke up. Ren and I froze as he sat up straight and screamed “No Anna I won’t do it again!”

I eased Ren off of me to Yoh’s other side and coaxed Yoh into my lap as he trembled and clutched onto me tightly “Please Anna…” This was a side of Yoh I’d never seen. I guess I had just as much to learn about Yoh as anybody else. I stroked his hair with a contemplative expression before he began to speak, hearing my silent question.

“She used to beat me” Yoh tightened his grip “I know I should have been able to make her back off but something about attacking her made me feel sorry. I couldn’t do it” He nuzzled closer. “I could hear the disgust in everyone’s voices at the thought of me beating up a girl, but being beaten up by a girl?”

Ren kissed his palm gently before trailing kisses over each of his fingers “Why did she beat you?”

Yoh choked on a tear “I thought it was for no reason at first… I thought, that she just needed a vent for her frustration but then I found out. She caught me staring at you and Ren once. I was staring too intently for her I guess. I asked her why once, while she left me battered on the floor and she told me it was because I loved you, loved you both. That I didn’t love her”

I hushed him quiet and laid him down on the mattress, hearing Ren squeak as I grabbed him and pulled him down next to Yoh, hovering over them both, grinning maniacally. I saw Ren hiss and Yoh smiled softly at me “There is no need to worry about that bitch anymore, and there is no need for any nightmares or any other shit regarding those losers, unless of course you want to torture them. I won’t say no”

Yoh laughed, a soft tinkling sound that made Ren melt. I saw it and Ren blushed.

---Through every forest, above the trees---

“Aw, ickle Renny got a blush” Yoh’s teasing was soft, and only slightly mocking. I’d have to teach him to be threatening someday. I chuckled and got both their attentions as I bent my head and kissed each of them before entwining their fingers and telling them to sleep. Ren’s eyes narrowed, probably at the implication that I was treating them like children but at my soft glare he relented and closed his eyes, pulling Yoh into a gentle embrace as the younger one dozed. When I was certain their eyes were closing, I stood up and made my way to the window.

My keen senses picked up another presence at my side as I stood contemplating the stars, and I smirked “Amidamaru” If he was surprised at my knowledge he did not show it. He merely bowed his head at me and smiled in appreciation “Thank you for taking care of Yoh. As much as he has tried to be strong, it’s hard for him to cope. A family that expects too much of him, a fiancé that beats him and friends that know nothing of him, you were the only person he could say was worth dreaming about. He’s very happy you gave him a chance”
I nodded “I’m happy I let Ren convince me to give him a chance. He is more than I expected. I’m much more than people expect you know. I try to be harsh on my subordinates and let them know failure is not an option so that they know I am a worthy leader and able to show shaman the way to save the planet. People just assume too much about people…” I stared back at Yoh and Ren who cuddled together and wrapped around eachother now, Ren’s hand, gently caressing Yoh’s locks.

“I mean Ren was believed heartless. I feel bound to him because we have a mutual understanding; Human’s are a waste of time. They use the planet before discarding it and worrying only about themselves. Ren knew this, but he was also misled by his uncle into believing he must destroy or be destroyed. Even I would not have dropped anything such as that on my Queen. And Yoh? He’s too kind. He’s too kind and he lets people walk all over him and push him around because he’s afraid of hurting anyone”

Amidamaru nodded and I smirked “But now that they are both under my wing, you have nothing to worry about warrior” I felt the presence beside me vanish with a soft whisper “I am glad”

---Within my stomach, scraped off my knees---

I stared up at the night sky and sighed softly. Tomorrow I would have to put Anna in her place for hurting Yoh. The others, for misleading my dear baby brother would pay in due time but for now, let them rot in their shackles. Spirit of Fire rested outside my window and I gave him a soft smile, one reserved for people I considered close, especially my guardian. He sparkled just that little bit brighter when he saw it and I pressed one hands against the glass where a single claw came up to press against the transparent shield. Now he was not alone in knowing my true self. I felt better showing my gentle side to Yoh.

I showed him he had nothing to fear from me and I couldn’t help but regret all the pain I had caused him, starting from that slight twinge of guilt the first time I had Spirit of Fire strike him at the airport. The defiance in those eyes was startling and I appraised that much. As things went along I stared at him and I began to think ‘Why are his friends so ignorant of his pain?’ All that joy he used to barricade his suffering inside, the pain he spared them all. So selfless.

I cursed myself for jumping when I felt a cheek nuzzle my bare stomach and I realised I was stood at the window, naked and smirked. My hand fell onto slightly mussed silk and I glanced down at Yoh who’s arms encompassed my waist and he smiled angelically down at Spirit of Fire “He’s beautiful when’s he’s not enraged” Yoh spoke softly and I grinned “Yes, Spirit of Fire is very calm and serene when not in battle”

“Actually” Yoh kissed my stomach “I was talking to Spirit of Fire”

My mouth dropped slightly at that but I regained my composure and ruffled his hair “Shouldn’t you be in bed Kiddo?” He pouted up at me and I saw slight traces of Ren in that look “Okay, okay” I swooped him up and he gasped at the feeling of being lifted into the air as I carried him back to bed and climbed in next to him “You’re not a child. Damn, has Ren been feeding you that milk stuff?” I unclipped my earrings and pulled Yoh down next to me.

Yoh grinned and shook his head as he scooted down and rested his head in the curve of my neck and murmured “I face Anna tomorrow”

I kissed the crown of his head as I whispered him reassurances and felt Ren snuggle closer to us both “There’s a difference though Yoh. Tomorrow, she’ll face your fury, and she will cower before you. She is no threat anymore baby brother. She is a worm in chains”

---I drink the honey inside your hive---

I watched with an odd sense of disturbance rising in me as Yoh stood before the chained up Anna who threw threats and all sorts of insults at my otouto. Ren was swinging the key chain for her shackles around in his fingers, staring silently at the scene but inside he was bubbling with fury, the storm was rising in those saffron eyes.

Ren called Yoh’s name and passed him the key, which Yoh used to unlock Anna’s shackles. As soon as she had been cut loose, she had slapped Yoh with as much strength as she could muster and sent his head spinning to one side but I did not move. Ren made to but I warned him back by merely blocking him with my arm. I could feel his infuriated gaze upon me, questioning my motives but my glance told him that Yoh needed to face her alone.

Yoh’s eyes slowly moved back to Anna, closed and calmed and Anna faltered. Her handprint was clear on his face, a swift red mark rising on the skin and his eyes opened. Anna stepped back. Ren smirked and whispered to me “Remember when Anna slapped you? Yoh’s face is picture perfect of your expression that day”
I grinned as Anna stared at me “What have you done? You’ve corrupted him!”

Yoh smirked and grabbed her wrist before opening his eyes, bloodshot, almost stained white “You’re no Shaman king’s wife, you’re a bully” He bent her wrist until she had to fall to her knees to relieve the pressure and she stared up at the malice in Yoh’s eyes, something no one had ever bore witness to. “You are a shameless little bitch that needs to be put in her place. You have no thrall over me. You have no say in what I do or what I’ll become. You mean nothing to me”

Ren was close to giggling with glee behind me and I was close to celebrating, myself as Yoh continued.
“I have no need for your approval anymore. I will not spend my life slaving away in servitude to a fiancé who does not even remember who I am supposed to be! Now you listen Anna and you listen good, for all your talents and your bravery and your strength, you’ve wasted away, and now all you need is someone you can beat up to make yourself feel special. Well I refuse to be that person! You can kick the shit out of me, you can send everyone away, you can lock me up in a room and starve me for all I care, but I cannot hate you any more than I already do. And that will not stop me from loving who I’m supposed to love. That’s not you Anna, it never was, and it never will be!”

Ren and I broke into applause at the same time as Anna fell to her hands and knees and sobbed murmuring pitiful attempts to regain Yoh’s trust. Whispering false feelings and plans and all sorts of little concoctions she had spun in her own little world to keep Yoh under her lock and key.

Yoh backed away from her flinging the key at the floor before her and she stared up at him with false tears. The firm scowl on Yoh’s face made it clear that if she did not take that key and unlock the others before fleeing, he would not be merciful and should she utter one word during her task, he would not go easy on her.

Ren clutched Yoh into an embrace first, kissing him urgently smothering his face with small affections while I stood back and waited my turn. Yoh turned away from Ren eventually and ran to me. I lifted him high and hugged him tightly to me. No one would take Yoh away. No one would take Ren away. No one would ever keep us from eachother.

Unbeknownst to Yoh and Ren, I had heard the weaving of plots in Anna’s mind, steadily pouring poison into every cavity in her brain. She would come back for revenge. That was, if she escaped Spirit of Fire, which I doubt. I had given specific orders for him to eat her. What? You thought I would let her get away? I pity you and your feeble attempts to be evil.

---You are the reason I stay alive---

Russian Doll: -grins- Dood…

Hao: Damn, I loved that

Ren: Yes, I’ll bet you did. Me being a sinewy cut of man and all.

Yoh: Oranges! Anna’s dead! Hao’s hot! Ren’s sinewy! I’m Yoh! And Luna’s nuts!

Russian Doll: Why thank you Yoh! -grin-
