"Are you sure you wanna do this?" A man with glasses and suit asked. Hints of worry and concern hidden well as he gazed at the empty street from the car window.
"I'm positive I need to...settle things with him." His companion spoke. The man wore a fitted grey suit with fitted brown loafers. The man was seated betweem two woman one with a blonde hair and red choker, and the other woman short orange brownish hair with a blue ribbon in her hair.
"If i truly can't face him than I can't move on completely." The man replied a seldom look as he held the hands of both women.
A knowing look caused the man with glasses to grin slightly.
"As you say ,Higa-sama."

"A-are we there y-yet?" A rather timid girl questioned. She had on a Kimono style dress with long sleeves and a skirt at mid thigh link. Long black hair in twin pony tail style and light grey eyes. Cupping her arm underneath her bust she held on to the other arm in a nervous manner.
"Not yet probably 10 minutes out and we'll be there soon shi!" A girl with long brown hair spoke. She work a cream colored top that exposed her shouldered, a orange skirt, brown boots, and orange gloves. On her back she carried a spear like weapon.
"Why are you so excited about this? And why the northern ashikabi nanaha?" A woman with short black hair asked. She wore a purple top exposing her stomach, Purple spanks and long purple gloves. On her shoulder was tattoed the number 72.
The long brown haired girl named nanaha gave both her companions a look of despair.
"Have you...not heard the rumors natsu?" Both looked at her curiously.
"Well the rumor has it that...the sekirei of the north abandoned their ashikabi after winning?" A gasp could be heard from shi as natsu looked confliced.
"W-why w-would they abandon him?" Shi questioned. Nanaha looked at her before giving off a sigh.
"I don't know...
but I meet him once he was...a lot nicer than my old ashikabi." The girl having a far away look on her face before looking at them both.
"I wanna go...to see if I can react to him." A light blush on face. Shi of course looked nervous and natsu looked over at the starry eyed girl in front of her.
"So we're going to see if we react to him? I mean I was terminated before I could even have an ashikabi..." She bit her lip in anger. She was more hopeful to look for her destined one since she was released.
"If h-he's nicer than h-higa I w-wanna meet him..." Shi stuttered a look of determination in her eyes.
"Well we're almost there! " Nanaha cheered earning smiles on the faces of the other two.
"Let's just hope we can heal your damaged heart ashikabi-sama..."

Minato gazed longingly at the moon. Slightly in a daze he reached up to try and hold it. He sat on the back porch just staring off into the sky.
"I remember when musubi took me to the sky...I could almost touch the moon.."
"Hey you ok?" A soft voice asked. Turning he saw toyotama dressed in a black sports bra and black bloomers, with her green hair tied into a pony tail.
"She's actually really cute...""Yeah just...thinking." He looked up back at the sky still lost in old peaceful memories. A hand grabbed his shoulder as Toyotama sat next to him.
"I'm still sorry... when an ashikabi abandons a sekirei it's life shattering...for you they meant the world to you..." Her eyes held sorrow as she stared at the broken ashikabi.
"I have to tell him..."
"I..." She held back biting her lip. "...I promise everything will be ok." She finished.
"Damn it!"
Smiling he looked at her with adoration.
"Thank you...you two kinda saved me honestly.." He whispered looking off into the sky again.
"I don't know...how much longer I coulda held on. Some days it's more bearable, but others..." He didn't finish. The thoughts of suicide were still fresh in his mind.
"Minato..."
She tried reaching for his hand in a comforting manner,but Ichiya landed in the back yard swiftly. She was back in her usual outfit with a serious look on her face.
"Guys we have company up front! 3 sekrie in total!" Her voice steady and anxious for a fight.
"Sekirei? Here?" Minato questioned he looked slightly stunned,but held calm.
"Is it Yomi...?"
A shiver ran down his spine in thought of the woman. Seeing this Toyotama gentle rubbed his back soothing.
"We will protect you ok?" The determined look in his eyes causing him to calm down slightly.
"Please be safe.." He said causing both to smile. Ichiya cracked her knuckles with glee as she craved a fight.
"Let's see how tough these birdies are."

"This is it! Izumo Inn! "Nanaha cheered as she stood near the front entrance.
"You t-think it's safe?" Shi questioned hiding behind an annoyed natsu.
"Depends on your business here." Ichiya called landing in front of the trio. Toyotama not far behind her in a guarding stance with her staff.
"State your names and business here and we might go easy on you." She spoke coldly staring down the trio.
Taking the defensive natsu pulled out 3 knives guarding shi as Nanaha pulled out her spear.
"What are Higa's dogs doing here?" A look of horror on nanaha's face.
"Did you come here to eliminate the north?!" She screamed surprising both fighters in front of her.
"Oh I'm so stupid." Ichiya sighed gripping the bridge of her nose.
"Your not here for petty revenge are you?" she pointed at the nanaha.
"No we're here for protection and a place to stay in the north." She spoke cautiously still on guard.
"That is fine." Spoke the voice of minato as he stood in front of the doorway. All eyes looked at him as he made sure to look at everyone.
"This Inn has a rule...we never turn anyone down. Not now, not ever." The authority and strictness of his voice causing a few to shiver slight arousal. More so for Toyotama and a certain shy girl as blushes bloomed on their faces.
"That was kinda hot..."
"Man and I was itching for a fight." Ichiya complained walking back to the door along with a still blushing Toyotama.
Getting the message the trio walked near the door before a black car pulled in front of inn.
"What now?" Minato sighed.
The car door opened up revealing a man in grey suit with cold eyes. Everyome froze on spot as they stared down the new comer.
"It's nice to see you again sahashi-san." The monotone of the voice sending Minato in a panic.
"Higa!" He shouted. Everyone having mixed reactions from Shi and natsu growing tense, Nanaha griping her spear tightly,but still shaking, Toyotama pulling back to stand in front of minato protectively and finally Ichiya looked at Higa in wonder.
"Higa-sama..." Her voice soft.
Also stepping out of the vehicle are two sekirei kaie and yashima on both sidesides of higa along with Kakizaki.
"W-What is your business here?" Minato stuttered sweating lightly.
Higa's eyes roamed the area scanning over thw sekirei in the area before landing on Minato himself.
"I've come..." He bowed slightly shocking everyone. " ...to apologize." He finished looking up at the surprised faces of all those present.
"Huh?"

Yomi walked reluctantly back to the dump her scythe arched over her shoulder as she was still in deep thought.
"Well if it isn't Yomi, the calamity sekirei." A sneering voice called. Turning she looked over to see a boy wearing a cape with blonde hair and a sinister smile.
"And who are you?" She questioned holding her scythe in front of her.
"Some one who really hates you." The boy snarled getting into a fighting stance.
"I really don't like the look of this..."

Preview of next chapter...
"So the pipsquek lost his sekirei? Hmm guess we'll pay him a visit." A girl with pink hair spoke with slight venom.
"I'll make him pay for humiliating the disciplinary squad!"
