What the heart should follow

Chapter 6
The Kidnapping


It is now nine months later and Ashieyu has been carrying twins for a while. Sitting on the grass while the wind blows through her hair and the sunbeams down upon her face she places her hand on her stomach feeling the babies kicking inside of her. Rikki and Tetsumi stayed with her as much as they could but since Tetsumi was always on missions it was hard for him to see Ashieyu and the twins. Rikki stays with her most of the time and takes care of her until Tetsumi comes back. He gave them more time, and tired not to interfere all that much. Hearing a sound in the bushes Ashieyu, with the help of Rikki got up. Figuring it was Tetsumi she walked towards the bushes but stopped suddenly.

\"Ashieyu what\'s wrong?\" Rikki now worried ran towards her but got knocked to the side by a demon, fighting to get up Rikki looked to the side to see Ashieyu being taken away from him.

\"RIKKI HELP!!\" Fighting her hardest from the man\'s grip she tried to conjure up an energy ball but the demon stopped her. Being pulled into the woods her vision started to get blurry as a cloth was put over her.

\"ASHIEYU!!\" Rikki now desperately trying to fend off all of the demons to get to Ashieyu got thrown into a tree, looking at the crowd of demons he glances at what might be the leader. Running to the light green haired man Rikki get\'s thrown down. Getting pinned to the ground the demon sprayed a poison in his eyes. Screaming in pain he fell to the ground. Grabbing the earth in his hands and trying to stand he heard the green haired man\'s voice.

\"Stupid angel you\'re worthless, but we\'ll make sure your mate will be taken care of. We\'ve been watching you for a long time now; we couldn\'t wait till Tetsumi left. The traitor, well I guess well take our leave, oh yes and if you ever want to find your wife again I suggest that you remember this name. Its Riku.\" Running off in a black blur with his pack they left Rikki there defenseless.

\"Ashieyu, Rikki I\'m home!\" Tetsumi walking into the house sees that it very quite, looking around he started to panic \" The house is never this quite where are they?\" Running to the back door Tetsumi swings it open to find Rikki lying on the ground, his hair matted and covering his eyes, with his sword thrown into a tree. \"Rikki!?\" Running to Rikki, Tetsumi turns him over to find that his eyes are all red and swollen and his breathing is ragged. \"Rikki! dammit Rikki what happened where is she!?\" Tetsumi shaking and yelling at him with his dark blue hair sacking madly.

\"They….they…got her…I…couldn\'t…help..\" Rikki grabbing onto Tetsumi\'s shirt, as his hair let the sun cut through to his red eyes Rikki looked to the ground. As his hand started to shake \"Riku…Riku….ambush….\" Letting go of his shirt Rikki passed out.

\"Dammit!\" cursing under his breath Tetsumi carried Rikki inside to get him healed up.

Waking up Ashieyu looked around to see that she was in a dark room trying to move her arm she looked to see that it was chained to the bedpost. Ashieyu turned to the doorway were she saw a man with light green hair tied back and silver eyes. He was tall but hid his body under a hooded cape. \"Finally your awake, you were asleep for three days. That\'s not good for a pregnant woman you know.\" Sitting on the bed he smirked at her and looked at her up and down it was like he was studying her.

\"Who are you? And what do you want with me?\" Ashieyu now glaring him with her blue eyes, tires to conjure up an attack but for some reason couldn\'t. Trying not to look surprised she quickly looked to the chains and back at the man.

\"Oh yes I forgot to mention those chais around your wrists stops you from using your powers sorry love.\" Laughing he grinned at her and touched her cheek. \"My name is Riku, learn it well love, and I took you because I know your little lover Tetsumi.\"

\"Tetsumi…how do you know him?\" Raising an eyebrow she studied him thinking he was lying. Clenching her hands she stared at him waiting for an answer.

\" All in good time love all in good time, now if I release you do you promise not to use your powers? I promise I won\'t hurt you all I need you for is bait.\" Taking the key out he waited for her to give him an answer. Looking at the bed and then to the chains she sighed.

\"Fine.\" Giving her hand to him she watched him undo the lock and take off the chains. Getting up with some effort he gestured for her to follow him. Shutting the door they started walking through the darkened hallways that were covered in stone. Walked beside him Ashieyu glanced at his face once and a while. He seemed so calm but he had a side of arrogance and protectiveness under it all, and his eyes were so beautiful. He almost looks like Tetsumi.

\"Hn, am I fun to look at?\" Riku grinning at Ashieyu while he turns and grabs her hand pulling her towards him as he backs into a wall, his eyes looking into hers as if he wanted to search her soul.

\"Yeah right, do you think your really all that special?\" Ashieyu coking an eyebrow looks at him with and innocent smile. Hearing this Riku grabs her hand hard, but then calms himself and let\'s her go, almost making her fall down.

\"She\'s just trying to get my goat. No wonder Tetsumi likes her she\'s very feisty. Maybe I might just keep her here with me. My poor little brother, he\'s going to lose everything. And to think when those children are born he\'ll have the privilege to see them die.\" Smirking he opens the door and they walk through. In the room it was drab and dark with a foul smell coming from the air, the whole place was filled with different kinds of demons. Walking down the room they all stared at Ashieyu and smirked.

Grabbing and pulling her down one of the demons sat her on their lap and pulled her chin to make her look at him in the eye. \"So you\'re the demon, your very pretty you look so good I could just eat you up. And those children would be a good appetizer.\" Laughing the demon started to grab at her but before he could try anything Riku sliced him in half.

\"Anyone who puts a hand on her or even looks at her the wrong way will get killed do you all understand me!\" Riku grabbing Ashieyu and putting her behind him yells at his minions as the anger started to build up in him. Turning towards her he smiles, \"Now then you must be hungry, I could only imagine, let\'s get you something to eat.\" His face now completely clear of the anger he just expressed, he smirked and lead the way to the kitchen. \"You will sleep in my room so that I can make sure no one will bother you do you understand? You will do what I say if you want your children to survive, so I want no mouthing back.\" Looking into her eyes she knew that he would do what he promised so she nodded in agreement.

\"Rikki damn you hurry up or else I\'m leaving without you!\" Tetsumi now packing up something\'s while he watches Rikki slowly walk towards him with a bandana over his eyes.

\"Tetsumi it\'s kinda hard when I can\'t see anything you know.\" Rolling his eyes Tetsumi went to Rikki helping him. Closing the door Tetsumi carried him on his back and started running towards his brother\'s hide out. As the sky started to become dark and the forest was turning black Tetsumi found a spot to stay for the night. The sky was now dark.

\"Rikki dammit I didn\'t think you were this heavy\" Dropping Rikki to the ground Tetsumi fell to his knees, panting.

\"Well then sorry for being an inconvenience, but if I could walk, and see then it would be to easy for us. Any ways who is that man? He said he was watching us for a while. Since you know a lot of demons around here more than I do I figured you might know him.\" Rikki now looking at the ground let tears fall from his eyes which spilled onto the bandana.

\"Stop crying you\'ll make it even worse then you\'ll be of no use to me!\" Tetsumi going over to Rikki shakes him and slaps him so he would stop, Rikki now touching his face which makes his hair fall into his eyes. \"Its not your fault I shouldn\'t have took my sweet time coming back home.\" Tetsumi now leaning against a tree looked up to the sky as thw wind blew through his hair \"I hope she\'s alright, please be ok.\" Looking back to Rikki he sakes his head and closes his eyes.

\"Its not your fault Tetsumi don\'t worry about it. All that matters now is that we get her back ok.\" Rikki trying to find Tetsumi\'s shoulder as he waves his hand in the air. Tetsumi opening one eyes smirks and grabs Riki\'s hand.

\"I\'m over hear you idiot\" Tetsumi now laughing at Rikki as he smiles. \" Riku.\" Placing Rikki\'s hand down he clenches his fist. \"His name is Riku.\"

\"So then you do know him?\" Rikki turning his head to try and look at Tetsumi. While his back rests against a tree.

\"Yes of course I know him, he\'s my rotten older brother.\" Tetsumi getting madder by the second gets his thoughts interrupted by Rikki.

\"He\'s your brother, but I…I thought that your clan was whipped out! Like all gone!\" Rikki now has his mouth dropped open as he keeps blabbering on about him not knowing.

\"Shut up and go to sleep we\'re getting up early tomorrow. Your eyes should be better soon to, thank god now I won\'t have to carry you anymore.\" Smirking a little Tetsumi lies down and falls asleep almost immediately.
***

\"This is my room the bathroom is in the door by the window, I\'ll be back in a while.\" Leaving the room Riku walks out to the pack of demons that are now drinking and making a bunch of noise. As he enters the room its gets quite. Walking to his chair he takes a few strains of hair out of his eyes as the cape falls back behind him it shows his nice body and beautiful wash board abs that are covered under his shirt. His butt is nice and sculpted and it seems as he\'s gliding on air as he walks to the throne.

\"Boss so what are we gonna do with the girl, I mean she would be a fun thing to have around.\" Grinning, all of the demons looked to Riku as he sat on a chair with his chin leaning on his hand.

\"We keep her of course she will be my new mate, after I kill my brother and that angel she will only be mine.\" Looking at the other demons he gets up and grabs a drink before going back to his room.

\"Man what a jerk! But I guess he\'s not all that bad.\" Sitting in the nice warm water Ashieyu leans her head back and closes her eyes, her long hair trailing down into the water. Thinking about Tetsumi and Rikki she doesn\'t hear Riku open the door.

\" Getting comfortable I see.\" Riku now has a big grin on his face as he walks closer to her and sits on the ledge. Turning around quickly Ashieyu makes sure he can\'t see anything.

\"What do you want?\" Glaring at Riku Ashieyu moves back to the otherside of the wall.

\"Just to have a bath, since this is my room I think I would be entitled to be able to have one. Now wouldn\'t you think?\" Still smirking he gets up and takes off his shirt. His muscles are very defined. Ashieyu looks at him and looks away to the wall, seeing this Riku smirks. Starting to take off his belt slowly he looks to Ashieyu.

\"Can\'t you just wait until I\'m done?\"

\"Not really and what would it matter? Its not like I would do anything to you, you are pregnant after all.\" Starting to pull his pants down Ashieyu looked away. \"What am I not good enough for you? I\'m surprised my brother is nothing compared to me. In a lot of things.\" Getting into the water he looks at Ashieyu.

\"Yeah you can think that all you want but I love your brother so I don\'t care what you think.\" Hearing this Riku laughs, Ashieyu turning towards him looks at him with shock.

\"My, my you\'re a feisty one. You should watch what you say like my brother I also inherit that trait of liking feisty women.\" Coming closer to her he goes up behind her in one quick motion. Looking behind her she sees him there and tries to blast him. \"Now stop that I told you what would happen if you decide to use your powers again, I\'m just trying to be nice. Now let my bath you.\" Ashieyu looks at him questioningly, Riku looking at her kisses her cheek. \"I told you I wouldn\'t do anything to you. Your with child so I can\'t.\" Taking out a washcloth he starts moving it over her shoulders.

\"Oh please, I over heard you say that you would try to take me as your mate. You should know that it would never happen.\" Riku glaring at her and getting mad he dug his nails into her shoulder and drew out blood that started dripping into the water. \"Stop it…please, you\'re hurting me.\" Letting go of her shoulder Riku settled down and leaned against the tub.

\"I told you to mind your manners.\" His eyes looking over the room goes back to her cuts. Moving towards her again he puts his hands lightly over it. Turning around Ashieyu tries to move away but can\'t because Riku\'s holding her arm. \"I won\'t hurt you I just want to see it.\" Looking over her cut he goes down to kiss it, and licking all the blood away. \"Tasty.\" Riku glancing up at her sees her eyes closed and her breathing starting to get heavier. \" Aroused are we?\"

\"It not my fault you ass! You\'re the one who\'s doing it and holding my arms.\" Looking at her with confusion he smiles at her while she turns around. \"Oh please I would never do that to you, gods men they think when you let tehm close to you, you\'ll fuck them.\"

\"A psychic demon. Well your just full of surprises aren\'t you?\" Ashieyu glaring at him turns around. There came a knock at the door just as he was going to put his arms around her.

\"Boss…boss could you come here please.\" Riku glaring at the door gets out of the bath and puts on his pants. Walking out of the door Riku looks at the demon.

\"I thought I told all of you to not enter my room!\" Riku now getting a shirt puts it on and picks up his sword, gripping it tightly.

\"I\'m so sorry boss but the guy he…he wanted you now and well I didn\'t think you would really mind.\" The demon cowering in the corner.

\"I\'ll show you to disrespect me.\" Slashing the demon in half he puts his sword away and goes back into the bathroom. Opening the door he sees Ashieyu putting on one of his robes. \"I\'m going I\'ll be back later, remember if you escape then your children will die.\" Closing the door he walks out.

\"Asshole.\" Opening the door Ashieyu looks through his clothing to find something to wear to bed, sighing she put on a pair of boxers and a big shirt of his. \"I guess this will do.\" Walking to the bed she climbs under the covers and falls asleep.

\"Rikki!! Rikki!! Get up, now!\" Jumping up from his sleep Rikki looks around to were Tetsumi\'s voice was.

\"What Tetsumi?\"

\"Dammit we\'re going to be late we have to leave now.\" Tetsumi pulling Rikki to his feet pulls him along.

\"Can I have something to eat, or at least look at my eyes.\" Stopping Tetsumi puts an apple in his hand and sits him down. Taking off the bandana his eyes have become less red and puffy. Munching on his apple Rikki tries to open his eyes but can only get them half open.

\"Well it looks a lot better, can you see?\"

\"Well I can but everything is blurry.\" Sighing Tetsumi put the bandana back on. \"Hey what are you doing?\"

\"You should keep it on longer, until you get better.\" Grabbing his hand he helps Rikki and pulls him on his back. \"Your eyes should be back to normal by the time we get there.\" Running threw the forest the wind went through his hair as he jumped over logs and raced to find his love.

\"How do you know when were there?\" Rikki now looking at Tetsumi while his hair blows into his face and he throws the apple core away.

\"I can smell him, we\'re not far off now maybe a few more hours that\'s all. He wants us to find him.\"
