Takami was still getting dressed to go to work when her cell phone rang. Looking at the caller ID she saw it was her daughter calling her. She flipped it open and answered it.

"What is it Yukari?"

There was some inaudible noise and then a beeping sound. Takami looked at the phone and wondered why her daughter had called her just to hang up. Shrugging she decided not to worry about it. If it was important she would call back.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Get off me you idiot!" Yukari screamed. She and her older brother were on the floor just outside his room fighting for her cell phone. "I am so telling mom about this!"

"Yukari you can't!" Minato pleaded as he fought to wrestle the phone out of her hands.

"The hell I can't! And what were you thinking you worthless oniichan? How could you get married without telling anybody?"

"Yukari please let me explain!"

"Explain it to mom!" She elbowed him in the stomach and tried to get away.

Yelping in pain he still managed to tackle her around the waist before she could get away. "No! I really don't want to have to deal with her right now! I'll explain it to her later!"

"Oh yeah? Like when? After she's divorced you and left you with nothing?"

"Fu, fu, fu I would never divorce my darling. I'll be with him for the rest of my life." Kazehana announced. She was sitting up in bed, naked, watching her husband and her sister in law grapple. "It's cute how siblings fight."

"What's cute about it?" Yukari shouted and punched him. "This damn pervert is probably just hoping to cop a feel!"

"Who the hell would want to feel up a flat board like you?" He shot back.

"I'll kill you!!" She screamed and began to beat on him.

Whack. Whack. Whack.

"Oh my, that's enough you two," Miya said standing over them in the hall. "I do not tolerate violence in this Inn." A scary hannyo mask appeared as her eyes became black and soulless. "Is that clear?" She spoke in a disembodied voice.

Yukari and Minato quickly separated.

"Please forgive me Miya-san," Minato spoke offering several bows of apology.

Miya turned her life draining aura towards Yukari. "What about you?"

The fearsome girl paled and shrank back. "I'm ver… very sorry, ple… please forgive me."

"That's much better," a suddenly bright and cheerful Miya said. "Now why don't the two of you relax and come downstairs for breakfast? You can have a civilized discussion while you eat." She shot Kazehana an annoyed look. "And you, put some clothes on."

Kazehana smiled back at her. "What? I can't be naked in my own room?"

Whack!

"Ow! Sorry, I'll get dressed!"

"Before I go downstairs I need to go to the little girls' room," Yukari said.

Miya nodded. "It's the second door on the left."

"Don't try and call mom before I have the chance to explain things!" Minato said feeling suspicious.

She gave him a dazzling smile that only made him worry more. "Like I'd do something like that." She sauntered over to the bath room.

XXXXXXXXXX

"So I called mom and she's coming over here," Yukari said as she sat down at the breakfast table.

"You didn't!" Minato wailed.

"You bet I did! I mean where the hell did you meet her any way? A strip club?" She was staring openly at Kazehana in her revealing red outfit.

Kazehana playfully put her hands beneath her own breasts and juggled them a bit causing blood to trickle from Minato's nose. "Jealous?"

"Who the hell would be jealous?" Yukari retorted sharply.

Without warning Kazehana reached across the table and grabbed Yukari's breasts. "So you're an A cup right?"

"Eek! Let go off me!" She shot back out of her seat. "And I happen to be a B!"

Whack.

"Kazehana, grabbing someone's breasts is not appropriate behavior." Miya said calmly.

"Sorry." She sat back and rubbed the top of her head.

"I really can't believe you did that Yukari," Minato said after wiping the blood off. "How could you just call mom without giving me a chance to explain the situation to you?"

"Hey! I'm not the one in the wrong here! I mean getting married? What the hell oniichan? I didn't even know you had a girlfriend! How long were you two seeing each other?"

He looked a little embarrassed as he rubbed the back of his head. "A couple weeks."

"A couple weeks?!" Yukari shouted.

Whack.

"Yelling at the dinner table is not permitted," Miya said sweetly. "Please speak in a normal voice."

"Sor… sorry," Yukari said. "Still, how could you ask her to marry you after just a couple of weeks? What were you thinking?"

"Actually I asked him to marry me," Kazehana said.

Yukari sent her an openly hostile glare. "Look I don't know what you're hoping to get from my oniichan but if it's money you can forget it. He doesn't have any and you'll never get any out of mom or grandma."

With a triumphant grin Kazehana produced a black piece of plastic with the letter MBI stamped in gold. "I have a V.I.P. card with an unlimited balance. I don't need money."

Yukari blinked at the near legendary card. "Then… then just what are you after?"

"Nothing! I just love Minato-kun and want to be with him now and forever!" She placed a very showy kiss on his cheek that made him blush a little.

Seeing it made Yukari anger burn just a little bit hotter. "There's no way someone like you could possibly fall in love with my loser brother!"

"Thanks a lot Yukari," Minato mumbled.

"Oh come on! You know you've never been any good with women! You can barely handle dealing with me! There's no way some top heavy stripper is going to fall in love with you!"

"First off I'm not a stripper," Kazehana said. "Second, why wouldn't I fall in love with him? He's very manly and he has the warmest kindest heart." She looked at him affectionately and pressed his hand into her ample bosom. "He just completely blew me away."

Yukari was surprised by the affectionate look in the other woman's eyes. "Yeah, well I like his warmness too," she answered quietly.

There was a knock from the front door.

"That'll be mom," Yukari announced.

"I'll answer it," Miya said and smoothly rose to her feet.

Kagari and Uzume were also both at the breakfast table enjoying the spectacle. Uzume even had a slight grin, her first in weeks.

"I'm doomed!" Minato cried.

Kazehana did not appear very happy either, though she seemed more angry than worried. She patted his head and reassured him. "Don't worry Minato it'll be fine."

A moment later Miya returned with Takami in tow. Yukari waited excitedly to have her begin screaming at her brother and ordering him to get a divorce or else.

Instead…

"Thank you for allowing me to come in Miya," Takami said politely.

She nodded. "Think nothing of it, you were a close friend to Takehito and are certainly welcome here. Will you join us for breakfast?"

Takami nodded. "That would be great.

Kagari rose smoothly to his feet and approached her. "A pleasure as always dear lady," he placed a kiss on her hand.

Takami chuckled at his antics. "What a terrible flirt you are Kagari." She nodded over to Uzume. "I'm very sorry for your loss Uzume."

She nodded appreciatively. "Thank you."

She then turned to look at the woman sitting right next to her son. "Kazehana," she said coolly.

"Takami," she replied in a frigid voice.

"Wait!" Minato cried. "You two know each other?"

"Mom! How do you know all these people?" Yukari gaped. This was definitely not what she'd expected.

Takami sat down at the table next to Kagari who was between her and Kazehana. "Yukari honey, I have a driver waiting outside. He'll take you back to your dorm. Why don't you go, I'm sure there are still a lot of things you need to do to get ready for school."

"No way! There's no way I'm missing this!"

"Yukari, the adults need to talk," Takami told her firmly. "Now please go."

Turning a deep red she got to her feet. She knew when she could argue with her mom and when it was better to be quiet and do as she was told. "Fine, but I expect to hear about this later!"

Once Yukari was gone Takami looked directly at Kazehana. "Did you know whose son he was when you let him wing you?"

"I knew who is mother was," Kazehana replied stiffly. She took Minato's arm and placed her head on his shoulder. "But I really love him so I decided to become his sekirei in spite of that."

"Did you really have to marry him too though? Do you have any idea how that complicates things?"

"Wait a minute!" Minato spoke up getting his mother's full attention. "How do you two know each other? And you mentioned winging and sekirei! Does that mean you know about a… certain plan?"

His mother nodded. "I know all about everyone here being a sekirei and about you being her ashikabi and about the Sekirei Plan too. Oh, and why don't you have Matsu come join us too? I haven't spoken to her in ages."

Now it was Miya, Uzume, Kazehana, and Kagari who looked startled. "You know Matsu lives here?" Miya said surprised.

Takami nodded. "We've known it for awhile, but since you are involved Minaka decided to just look the other way."

"Mom! What is going on here? How do you know all this?"

She sent her son a grin. "Son, you know how I've been working with a pharmaceutical company all this time?" her son nodded. "Well that was all a lie. I'm actually head researcher for M.B.I.'s secret research wing. I've known about the sekirei from the very beginning."

"What?" Everything he knew was suddenly being tossed upside down.

"Relax son," his mother said calmly. "I couldn't tell you before, but since you're involved now I'll tell you all of it."

Kazehana sighed. "You may as well get comfortable dear; this is going to take awhile."

The others all nodded.

"Wait for me! I want to hear this too!" Matsu came in and sat down.

"Oh my, I hope I have enough food for everyone," Miya sounded worried.

So as Minato sat there his mom began to explain to him her role in all of this.
