Strange day very...strange

If he had a penny for every time he had an awkward moment he'd be rich enough to support the next 5 generations if he ever had a family.
Seated at the table were both former enemy sekirei that were now dinner guest and possibly new tenants. Before them a quick curry dish he made except he had the normal portion while their's was the "average" sekirei portion including extra rice just incase. Though they looked pensive at the food for a minute.
"Aren't you hungry?" The question startling both of them.
"Did your sekirei... really eat this much?" Toyotama questioned. Looking at the massive amount of food before her.
"Oh, don't all sekirei eat alot?" He tilted his head to the side almost in a cute manner.
"I mean...yeah,but..." She glanced over seeing the nervous look of her partner as well.
"We're not use to this...generosity." Ichiya finished. They never really treated this well. Sure good meals and luxury were fine,but neither of them the materialistic type. It almost made them feel devoid of actual feeling from their previous ashikabi.
In fact the boy before them just took them into his home, and cooked for them. The warm kindness was a complete change from the cold exterior that they were use to.
"It almost feels kinda nice."
Though the staff wielder wouldn't say it a warm smile creeped up on her face.
"Oh! we'll your guest I couldn't let you just go hungry and there's no way I could eat all of this by myself." True to his word even by himself now he would accidental make too much food for himself. After a few minutes they ain't in silence.
"By the way I've been meaning to ask...your not buttering us just so you can have two honeys for the night are you?" Ichiya smirked.
Choking on his food and sputtering he dropped his food onto his lap causing said girl to giggle.
"I'm kidding gosh you are the easily flustered ty-OW!!" She winced as Toyotama elbowed her in side with a glare. Turning she gave Minato an apologetic look.
"Sorry she didn't mean anything by that. Thank you for even inviting us into your home and for the meal." She bowed slightly.
"Uhhh its ok really, It's actually nice to hear some laughter in this place again. Plus it's no problem at all!" He blushed at the polite behavior.
"Why are you so nice to us anyway? We were once enemies...I even terminated your friend." Toyotama spoke a look of regret in her eye.
He remembered that day clearly. He never cried so hard before ,and they had worked so hard to save her ashikabi as well.
"I wonder how she is doing?"
"Well to say the least...we were all victims apart of this. Being forced to slaughter and tear us apart from are loved ones, but...if anything I can't blame you cause it wouldn't be fair." He looked deep into her forest green eyes.
"Why should I blame someome who couldn't go against an order? Or even go against their ashikabi?" He questioned.
"But shouldn't you hate us than? We could have easily killed you?" The boy confused the greenette to no end. Through her whole life she knew of greed and hate of humanity. Not only learning both through Higa, but also through the way humans interacted. There was always an ulterior motive behind everything. Yet, this person before her easily forgave them with out a second thought.
"Is this what a real ashikabi should have been like?"
"I don't hate you and honestly I never could." The smile easing the tension in the room. A pinkish hue dusting the greenette's cheeks as she resumed eating.
Ichiya seeing this only smiled and finished up her own meal.

"The bath is down the all at the right, and the rooms are down the opposite all." Pointing towards the halls.
"If you need anything I'll be on the back porch for a while and my room isn't that far from yours." He finsihed running a hand through his hair.
"A bath does sound nice! Though no peeking ok?~" Ichiya teased dragging a rather dazed Toyotama with her to the bath.
Standing there he smiled to himself.
"At least it's not quiet anymore..."
]
"So when are you gonna tell me?" Ichiya questioned. She had a towel wrapped around her curvious body a modest amount of cleavage showing.
"About what?" Toyotama asked. Her long green hair wrapped in a towel and another wrapped around her athletic and curvious body.
A large grin formed on her face. "How about you reacting to our shy little host at dinner?"
"I'm not reacting to h-him!" The flustered look and stutter going against her. A giggle coming from her friend.
"Really now toy? I knew you had a type and your definitely into shy boys! It's like one of shounen mangas were a tough girl falls madly in love with the shy boy its classic!" Ichiya hollered. The greenette looking angry or embarrassed couldn't help,but look at the floor.
"Is it that obvious?" She questioned.
"Big time...toy we've been searching a while now and if he's the one than go for it." Crossing her legs she ran soap along her slender arms.
"But what about you?" She question unraveling the towel and settling into the bath.
"I feel nothing towards him sure he"s nice, but toy just cause we don't have the same ashikabi doesn't mean we'll be apart. The plan is over and we don't have to fight anymore." Ichiya spoke wrapping a towel around her short hair.
"Do you wanna go back to Higa?" The question was met with a depressed sigh.
"I did react to him toy...you can't change that. Though now isn't the best time, maybe after a while I can go back to him?" There was a hopeful look in the girls almond eyes. The other gave a sad smile looking over at her friend.

Yomi gazed at the moon from upon a roof she jumped onto. Looking at it gave her a sense of peace. The luminous glow washing over her in a attempt of cleansing and rejuvenation.
"Really why must it be you..."
Holding her hand to the sky she reached in a attempt to grab the moon.
"Why must being near you feel like the sun and yet soothing as the moon..."
She jumped off the roof landing on the streets below a look of loneliness as she slowly walked away.

"Where exactly are we going?" An annoyed voiced asked.
"Up north of course." A more bubbly voice said.
"W-why a-are we g-going there?" A very timid and shy voice questioned.
"Easy...to seek out the northern ashikabi. " The bubbly voice responded a smile on her face.
