What the heart should follow

Chapter 12
Power

Tetsumi staying by the wall looked to his family and smiled inside. \"I never thought I would be blessed with any of this since my life was so horrible, I really thank Rikki for making me be Ashieyu\'s partner.\" Tetsumi walked towards the bed and picked up Akio and threw him in the air to catch him again, hearing him laugh Tetsumi placed him on the bed he blew raspberries an him stomach.

\"Daddy stop it..it tickles.\" Laughing Akio crawled away from his father but Tetsumi caught him and gave him a big hug closing his eyes. All the while Jiro was watching this tears started coming out of his eyes as he sank his head into Ashieyu\'s shoulder, Ashieyu looking down at Jiro sees him crying and tries to comfort him.

\"I want my daddy...mommy why does he have to leave?\" Tetsumi hearing this turns to Ashieyu with a sad face feels Akio crawl out of his grip and go to Jiro. Jiro looking up at Ashieyu sees tears in her eyes as well.

\" Jiro hunny your father tries to see you as much as he can but you know if he could come back he would, but he isn\'t allowed I\'m so sorry. Tetsumi is hear for you hunny.\" Ashieyu holding him close wipes his tears away and Tetsumi comes to hold him.

After a little while Tetsumi looks to Ashieyu, \"Ashieyu what did you-\" but before he could finish the maid from before came into the room.

\"My lady supper has been prepared, Lord Sota wishes for you to come down.\" Ashieyu and the other walked out of the room down a series of hallways till they got to the dining room.
\" Here it is my lady.\"

Thanking her Ashieyu went to the table and found her brother and Ryu sitting down. Ashieyu sat by her brother and so did Ryu since he was at the head of the table Tetsumi sat by Ryu as the twins sat by their mother. Having many plates of food set down on the table the only to that really seemed to eat were the twins. Ashieyu, Tetsumi, Sota and Ryu pushed their food around on their plates and kept quite. Sighing Sota got up and left the room. \"Ashieyu after you put the twins to bed come meet me in the den.\"

Walking back up to their rooms Ashieyu bathed the twins and put them to bed. Tetsumi meeting her at the door way shut the door quietly and walked down the hall lacing his hand in hers.

Walking into the den Ashieyu sat down across from her brother and Ryu with Tetsumi. \"Ok Sota why did you want us to meet you here?\" Sota looking up at Ashieyu and Tetsumi sighed and leaned in a bit.

\"I asked you to come here because tomorrow we are going to war and I wanted to know if Tetsumi would help?\" Sota\'s eyes glancing at Tetsumi and them to the fireplace.

\"Oh course I will help, their my children I have to keep them and Ashieyu alive no matter what.\" Hearing this Ashieyu bent her head to the ground and took a deep breath.

\"Good then I want to talk about the twins, I\'m sure you would want to know why were fighting for them. And what kind of power they both hold.\" Crossing his leg over the other Sota looked to his sister.

\"Yes it would be nice to figure this out since we don\'t even know about it.\"

\"Alright first Akio\'s power consists of destroying anything in its path if the person chooses, see some where in his mind, locked up are the worlds most powerful spells like the most deadly to barriers to bringing life to the earth. Second is Jiro since his father was an angel a very high ranked one for that matter he can save life and will have powerful magic in him. If you kill both of your boys then the person that hold the sword to their death will be the most powerful man in the world, but the power would be so great that the powers would clash and destroy the world on its own the only way to prevent that their powers don\'t transfer is to have another child. If you do the powers of the boy that was killed will go into your other child, for some reason your bloods put your children at these powers and no one knows why.\" Taking in a breath Sota looks to Ashieyu and Tetsumi.

\"Another child...all that power for to little boys...Sota is there any way-\"

\"No I\'m sorry it can\'t be given to anything else your boys were blessed.\" Sota seeing his sisters tears fall down her face walks up to her and hugs her while Tetsumi does the same. Letting go Sota kisses her on the forehead and wipes the tears off of her face. \"You\'ll need to get some sleep and spend the rest of the time togther just in case. Ryu you as well.\" Walking out of the room Sota heads to his bedroom. Getting up Tetsumi and Ashieyu walk to their room escorted by Ryu.

\"Why are you following us? We\'ll be alright.\" Tetsumi glances to Ryu.

\"My room is this way as well, and I know the princess doesn\'t need anyone to protect her but if her brother orders it I will have to so get use to it for a while.\" Ryu looking to Ashieyu studying her face and her body, seeing this Tetsumi pulls her closer to him and wraps his arm around her waist. Looking up at Tetsumi Ryu smirks.
\"Don\'t you have a women?\" Tetsumi spits out at him.

\"No I don\'t, no women have caught my eye yet.\" Ashieyu looking at Ryu raises an eyebrow.

\"Why not, some here are very beautiful.\" Laughing a little Ryu looks to Ashieyu.

\"I might be out of line saying this my lady, but you\'re the first one I\'ve seen that caught my eye since I\'ve been here.\" Tetsumi glaring at him wraps his arm tighter around Ashieyu.

\"Well get your own she\'s taken!\" Opening the door to their room Tetsumi puts his hand into a fist while Ashieyu rolls her eyes and goes into the room.

\"Good night Ryu get some sleep\" Closing the door in his face Ryu smirks and walks down the hall. \"Why are you jealous of him? He\'s no threat to you.\" Tetsumi pacing around the room stops to look at Ashieyu.

\"I\'m not jealous of that bastard! He\'s nothing.\" Tetsumi watches Ashieyu start to take off her clothes comes closer to her.

\"Your jealous admit it...I think its cute of you.\" Letting her top fall to the floor she starts on her bra but Tetsumi grabs her hand.

\"I\'m not jealous....but your sure he\'s nothing to you?...You don\'t feel for him? \" Tetsumi looking into Ashieyu\'s eyes relaxes as she smiles and cups his cheek.

\"I don\'t feel anything for that man, I love you with all my heart as I do with Rikki, you\'re an excellent father and husband, please don\'t worry about anything like that I would never be with another man.\"

\"Even if I die, you would not do anything?\"

\"Even if you die...you\'re my love.\" Bringing her lips closer to Tetsumi\'s Ashieyu kisses him deeply and passionately. Tetsumi roaming her body break\'s the kiss and looks at her.

\"If this is our last night I want to remember everything, please Ashieyu I want to remember your body and cries, you calling my name. I want you please.\" Bringing her closer to him Tetsumi holds her tightly as he shuts his eyes and smells her scent, taking it all in her hair and her eyes.

\"I want you to Tetsumi, I want to remember you as well, let\'s remember together one last time before the battle.\"
