Chapter 4
Previously
"I will not allow a rapists to hurt these two girls, so it seems you must die scum-san." As those words left the woman's mouth she sped towards Ren at inhuman-like speeds and did an overhead slice.
Now
Ren closed his eyes as he prayed to Kami a way to get out of this situation as the sword neared his head.
'Clang'
Hearing that sound Ren opened his eyes to see Akitsu standing beside him holding a sword that seemed to be made of ice. "No one will hurt my Ashikabi!"
Ren sighed in relief before he saw the sword shatter, but by then Akitsu had made another sword as she gotten into a stance that showed that she wasn't trained in the way of the sword.
Ren looked to see that mist was coiling around the woman and Uzume with a veil shaped like a drill pointed right at the woman's skull.
The woman herself sheathed her blade as she looked at the situation she was in and by the looks of it she had jumped to conclusions, since one of her tenants was willing to try and hurt her for a man that she concluded raped her.
"Thank you for the save Akitsu I'll question why you're here after we explain the situation to her." Akitsu shook her head as she pointed her sword at the woman, "She tried to hurt my Ashikabi so she must die."
Taki nodded her head agreeing with Akitsu, "Even though I just met her Akitsu is right you could've died just now and I just got winged and if you don't know Ren then let me tell you if the Ashikabi dies then all the Sekirei that were winged to him would die as well!"
Ren held his head down in shame not knowing he had just put Akitsu, Taki, and Uzume at risk.
"But since you didn't know I forgive you!" Taki chirped cheerfully, getting a sweat drop from everyone.
"Now what are we going to do to the woman who just tried to kill you Ren-kun?" Ren shrugged his shoulders getting a sweat drop from his girls, while you woman in question just watched on like the weapons pointed at her were meaningless.
"Ren-kun this the woman your talking about is the landlady of Izumo Inn." Ren looked at Uzume like she had grown a second head.
"She is crazy she tried to kill me!" "With good reason scum-san to any other person it looks as if you had just raped that poor girl over there since she has no clothes on except for that jacket."
Ren shook his head, "I saved Taki's life not even an hour ago from a group of men that tried to rape her. The reason that she doesn't have any clothes is because the leader ripped off all her clothes and I had to give her my jacket. I also planned to take her shopping for new clothes after I found a place to stay, which is why I'm here, but looking at the time we wasted I'll have to do it tomorrow."
The landlady shook her head, "Then why did I come out to find you about to have seducing with one of my tenants."
"Well first off she started it and I just decided to finish what she started and it was like we were actually going to do anything. Were we Uzume-Chan?" Uzume blushed being put out on the spot.
"It's not what you think Miya we were just having a bit of fun." Uzume was sweating on the inside hoping to kami that Miya didn't pull out the mask, but kami mustn't have been listening because right beside Uzume was a different mask from the first one.
This hannya mask was black with two sharp horns on the sides of its head. Its eyes were so black that they looked like a bottomless pit. What scared Uzume though was the smile it gave her. It looked so sinister that she fainted, but she wasn't the only one though Taki and Akitsu fainted from the sinister aura that the black mask was expelling.
Ren looked at the new development in shock. 'Damn! I know I can't beat her, but I can't let her kill me or the others will die.' A look of determination crossed Ren's face as he picked up the ice sword Akitsu had dropped.
"You truly think you can beat me scum-san?" Ren shook his head. "No. But I know that would and will protect them with my life and as their Ashikabi I won't fail them! So even though I know I have a 99% chance of dying at least I died protecting them! So if you want to kill me then I'm going to make you work for it!"
Miya looked at him in shock and guilt. Shock since she had never met a human willing to die for someone else, besides her dead husband and that he wasn't afraid to fight her even though he knew he would die in a match against her. Miya also felt guilt for almost killing an innocent man for a mistake she made.
Ren started to tense up as Miya started walking towards him with her blade still sheathed.
What happened next threw Ren for a loop. Miya got on her knees and bowed to Ren and even though Ren couldn't see her face he could feel the guilt radiating off of her.
"I am sorry for pulling my blade against you scum-san. I was wrong to accuse you of such a treacherous and vile act. So I plead for forgiveness scum-san." Ren sighed in frustration. 'Come on your trying to apologize but you keep calling me scum!"
"Um, miss Miya-san. We can talk about this later but first let's get these girls into the house. You grab Taki while I get Akitsu and Uzume."
Miya nodded her head as she picked up Taki as if she weighed nothing at all. "Scum-san are you sure that you can carry them both?"
Ren answered her question by putting the two girls over his shoulders. He then turned around towards Miya he started walking towards the inn, "First things first my name is Ren not scum-san so remember it Miya."
Miya smiled sweetly at him as a hannya mask appeared before Ren. This mask was crimson red that had black stitches over its left eye which looked like it was looking right through his soul. "What was that Ren-san?"
Normally any other person would faint or foam at the mouth at the deadly hannya mask, but Ren wasn't a normal person.
A black miasma surrounded Ren as the visage of a black demonic wolf with blood red eyes and teeth that seemed to be dripping blood. What came next shocked Miya, the wolf pounced onto the hannya mask and started to rip it apart. After ripping apart the mask the wolf disappeared, but not before giving Miya a savage grin showing all his sharp teeth that it used to take apart her hannya mask.
"You won't scare me like that Miya so you better try harder." Those words started what would soon be a war between wolfs and the hannya masks.
"Ufufufufufu. I'll have you regretting those words Ren-san." Ren gave her an evil grin giving her a small chill up her spine.
After that Ren started to talk to Miya about how much the rooms were in Izumo Inn. Now some Ren a dumbass but he sure as hell not going to sleep outside tonight with Akitsu and Taki.
"Ren-san as a token of forgiveness your room and your Sekirei's room will be free." Ren would've bowed to Miya if it weren't for the two girls over his shoulders.
"Miya I thank you for the offer and I gladly accept it, but I can't fully trust you after what was has happened today." Miya nodded her head I mean she did try to decapitate Ren not 20 minutes ago. "I understand, but I hope in the future you could trust me."
Ren nodded his head at her as she gave him the key to the girls' room. "Maybe one day, but for now I got two sleeping beauties in my arms so I'm going to go take them to bed." Miya just stood there and watched as Ren left with the girls before Miya started to feel Taki start to wake up.
Miya laid Taki on a couch and left the room to grab some clothes for Taki.
With Ren
Ren laid Akitsu and Uzume on the bed and watched as they started hugging onto each other for warmth.
"Beautiful" Ren walked out the room missing the blush on Akitsu's face and the smiles on Uzume's.
Walking into his new room Ren looked inside to find Taki sitting on his bed naked as she was born.
"Taki why are you in my room and why did you take off the jacket I gave you?" Taki ignored the question and smiled at Ren as she got up from the bed and walked over to him.
It took all of Ren's willpower don't to look down as Taki face was only inches from him. "You should rest you had a hard day if you have anything to say why don't we talk about it tomorrow when you're feeling better."
"Can I stay with you tonight just so I'm not alone?" Taki asked shyly. Ren nodded his head, "After your get something to sleep in and you have to tell Miya why you're staying in my room tonight so I don't die when in my sleep if Miya assumes we do some late night activities."
Taki blushed at thought about the late night activities before her face took upon a look of terror at the thought of having to face Miya. "Can you come with me?"
"Sure but after this I got to call my brother and tell him I found a place to stay." Taki nodded her head as she walked with Ren to go talk to Miya, but not before Ren covered up Taki with the covers to his bed.
"You're not about to be walking around this inn in your birthday suit." Taki blushed forgetting she didn't have any clothes. "Don't worry tomorrow I'll take you shopping for some new clothes." Taki had a look of glee at the prospects of shopping.
Ren looked at the kitchen and saw Miya cooking dinner. He then pushed Taki forward and mouthed to her 'Talk to her'
Getting up the courage Taki opened up her mouth to speak, but Miya cut her off, "There are clothes for you on the couch, so go wash up and get dressed I want to have a talk with your Ashikabi." Taki shook her head, "How can I trust you when you tried to kill him for a wild accusation?"
Miya lowered her head in shame, "Your right and I'm sorry that my actions caused you trouble, and I will do my best to get you to forgive me."
Hearing this Taki knew this was probably her only chance to get what she wants.
"I'll forgive you Miya-san only on one condition." Miya shot her head up and gave Taki a curious look. "So what is this condition Taki-san?" Taki fidgeted and blushed, "I want to share a room with Ren-kun."
Ren gaped at her, "Taki I thought you just wanted to stay one night because you didn't want to be alone."
"You are my Ashikabi and I will stay by your side and protect you so you and I will share a room."
"I will let you share the room with Ren-san if he agrees and only under one condition." Ren sighed looking at Taki give him the puppy dog eyes that was a man's biggest weakness. Miya giggled knowing no man could escape the puppy dog eyes.
"Fine. So Miya what is this condition you were talking about." Miya started to expel a red aura as her demonic hannya mask came out scaring Taki and the only reason she hadn't fainted yet was Ren was holding onto her calming her down just a bit.
"Well the condition is that you are not to take apart in any carnal activities since that is my house rule if you are to live under my roof." Taki nodded her head fiercely and bowed to Miya and hurried out of the room so she could get dressed.
"So you wanted to talk to me Miya?" Miya nodded her head as she started to set the table with Ren helping her. "How is it your able to conjure up that wolf?" Ren smiled, "I could ask you the same thing, but what's got me is how much you know about the Sekirei plan since you didn't even bat an eyelash when Akitsu created that ice blade."
"My husband worked for M.I.B. he use to help Sekirei adjust to your world." Ren could see that Miya was telling the truth but felt she was hiding something else, but it wasn't his business so he left it alone for now.
Ren walked past Miya, "I know you're hiding something else but it's your business so I'll leave out of it." Miya's eyes widened a little before she smiled.
"Before I forget my brother and his Sekirei will be coming over since they need a place to stay." Ren walked out the room pulling out his phone dialing Minato's number.
Though before Ren could finished dialing he heard something crash into the backyard. Running to see if anybody got hurt Ren comes to find Miya right beside him with her sword in one hand and a ladle in the other.
"What the hell is a ladle going to d-oww!" Ren started rubbing the spot where Miya hit him, while Miya started walking to the backyard with Ren followed her muttering something about crazy women.
Making it to the back yard Ren and Miya see the sight of Minato, Musubi and a girl on the ground with tears in their clothing.
"Even though I'm not happy say this but that's my brother Minato and his Sekirei Musubi but the girl I have not a clue." Minato looked up to find his brother talking to a purple haired lady carrying a sword and ladle.
"Not that not curious but from the looks of it you must of fell from the sky, but what I want to know is how you guys got up there to begin with." Minato started to speak before Miya interrupted him, "Why don't we talk about this over dinner?"
Ren shrugged his shoulders and went back inside. In the hallway was a silver haired man wearing a white button up shirt and black pants. "And who might you be?"
The man put out his hand as Ren shook it, "My name is Kagari and I am one of the tenants here nice to meet you."
"Name's Ren nice to meet you too Kageri." "I', sorry but I have to cut this conversation short I have to get to work."
Ren looked at the time to see it was 30 minutes past 9. "What do you do?" "I work at a club." Ren nodded his head knowing already what kind of club he was talking about. "Well don't let me stop you from getting some pussy get going."
Kagari froze hearing this as he felt like he was about to die, "What was that I just heard," the voice sounded so cold that Kagari flinched. Turning around Kagari found himself looking into Miya's black hannya mask eyes.
"Nothing Miya-san so don't worry your pretty little head about it I was just talking to Kagari about what he did for work." The hannya mask disappeared and Miya smiled at Ren, "Why how could you decide to try and seduce an old widow such as myself?"
Ren smiled back already knowing her ploy, "Now why would you call yourself old when you don't look a day over 20." "Well aren't you are smooth talker, but flattery won't get you everywhere, and Kagari don't you have to go to work."
Kagari nodded his head and sent a grateful look towards Ren and hurried out the door.
"So will my brother and Musubi be staying?" Miya nodded her head.
"Yes and it looks like that the girl with them is his Sekirei as well." Ren just shrugged "Will I have to worry about your brother breaking my house rule?"
Ren shook his head, "Nope you won't have to worry Minato still has his v-card, even though I, kaa-san, and Yukari have tried to get him to lose it. But if you don't believe me just scare him with the mask and he'll listen."
Miya smiled as her and Ren walked into the kitchen, "So what do you plan to do now that you are in the Sekirei plan?" "Nothing yet since this stuff is a first to me, but if I think about it I plan to get to know my Sekirei."
Walking out of the kitchen Ren started to head in the direction of his room before he fell on top of something. Pushing himself up Ren started to feel something soft in his hand.
Getting a little curious he squeezed the object, in which he got a moan in return. Figuring out what he was holding Ren jumped off the woman he landed on with a blush on his face.
The person Ren had just groped was the same girl that had been with Minato and Musubi. Looking closely at her Ren saw she had short honey blond hair that had a single blue ribbon tied to one of her bangs and dark teal eyes. The girl wore a short white jacket over a red dress that ended mid-thigh and near the end were white stripes and a yellow belt. On her hands were light red fingerless gloves and on her legs were black thigh-high stockings with red laced boots.
"I'm sorry for doing that miss it was an accident." The girl ignored him as a trident manifested in her hand. "No one is allowed to touch me except for Ashikabi-sama so die pervert!" The girl then threw the trident at Ren, but it missed by only an inch if he hadn't of ducked. The trident kept flying and wedged itself into the wall.
"It was an accident damn it!" "Yeah right you're just saying that to save your own skin!" Ren ran into the kitchen and hid behind Miya who was placing the food on the table. "Don't let her kill me!"
Miya looked at Ren confused before she saw Minato's Sekirei come into the kitchen holding a trident over her head with a furious look on her face.
"Where is that fucking pervert?!" Miya grabbed her ladle and bopped the girl on her head getting the trident to somehow disperse. "No fighting in this house to you understand."
"Or what?!" Miya smiled sweetly at the girl as her black hannya mask materialized in front of her. The girl started to sweat as she turned around to get away from Miya when she fainted from the sight of another hannya mask looking at her.
Miya turned towards Ren with the mask still out now smiling at him, "Now can you tell me why she just tried to kill you?" Ren nodded his head as he explained to her how he accidently groped her and how she wouldn't even let he explain himself.
"You will apologize to her when she wakes up, but until then take her to her room, its right beside the room you're sleeping in." Ren was about to argue with Miya before she cut him off, "You started this so apologize she may have been in the wrong by trying to kill you but any girl would act that way."
Ren picked up the girl bridal style making sure she was asleep since the day was hard enough almost dying on two times. "So Miya would you have reacted the same way this girl did?" Miya gave Ren a teasing look, "So you want to grope a poor widow like me have you no shame Ren."
Ren sighed as he left and took the girl to her room. 'First she tried to kill me, now she is teasing me.'
Making to the room Ren placed the girl in her bed and was about to leave before he got the feeling like he was being watched.
Looking out the window Ren only saw an empty lawn and a tree. Feeling like he had wasted enough of his time Ren turn and left not ever noticing piercing eyes watching him in the tree.
