"That was amazing." Uzume whispered from her position in front of her ashikabi as she opened her eyes.

Meeting the warm amber eyes that stared back at her she couldn't stop the smile that was tugging at her lips. She truly loved everything about the man in front of her, he was everything that she had been searching for.

"Yeah it was." He agreed reaching out and pulling her closer to him. She had invaded his soul, seen his darkest moments and still offered herself to him. He felt like he was the luckiest man in the world.

"What were you guys doing?" Orihime asked walking off from the porch, after her bath and breakfast she had been curious when she seen the two of them out in the yard.

The young healer let out a small squeak when she was grabbed by the wrist and dragged into the house by her sister.

"Uzume-chan?" She whined

"We need to talk!" She responded excitedly, never breaking stride as she ran towards their room. There was no way she could keep the recent activities to herself.

He chuckled to himself as he watched the two of them barrel through the back door, he felt lighter, happy even. It seemed like ages since he had felt this way, standing up he took in his own disheveled appearance.

'That damn Miya and her sadistic punishments.'

"How do you do that?"

The sudden question broke him out of his musings, turning his head he cocked his eyebrow in confusion. The person addressing him was around his age, with black shaggy hair, he somehow seemed familiar. Thinking on it for a second longer he realized it was the same person he almost bulldozed when he was chasing Miya earlier.

"Do what?" He asked.

"Get your Sekirei get along so well." Minato clarified, chuckling uncomfortably.

He really didn't know how to approach this man. From what he seen in the video earlier, the last thing he wanted was to be within arm's reach of him. He happened to see him on the back porch meditating with one of the girls that attacked Musubi, he seemed peaceful. Curiosity piqued he ventured closer, before he could say anything his girls took off giggling as they passed him. Hearing the other man snort in amusment he turned his attention to him.

"I had to kick their asses until they started to depend on each other." Seeing the other man's eyes widen considerably he elaborated. "It was training, I don't abuse them."

"Oh, thank goodness." Mianato sighed out. Taking a seat on the porch he jumped a bit when the other man did the same.

Ignoring the other mans startled movement he continued the awkward conversation.

"So what made you ask anyway?" He asked looking out into the yard, idly noting that he should clean up the mess that him and Miya made.

"Well it just seems that they get along so well and mine seem to always fight over my attention." Minato replied in a slightly defeated tone. Hearing the man next to him laugh, his shoulders slumped further in on himself.

"Trust me that's never going to end, Uzume and Orihime get along, but they still want my attention focused solely on them." He laughed out. Extending his hand he introduced himself. "Kurosaki Ichigo by the way."

"Sahashi Minato." He replied only to wince slightly when the grip on his hand tightened.

'Can't be a coincidence.' He thought remembering the name the woman had given him in the warehouse. Letting go of his hand he apologized when he realized he had unintentionally gripped the other man's hand a little too tight.

"Shit, sorry about that." He said as Minato started to open and close his hand experimentally. "How many sekirei do you have?"

"Four." He answered back a little meekly. He didn't understand why the orange hair teen had such a reaction to his name, but it made him want to put as much distance as he could between himself and the other ashikabi as soon as possible.

"Wow, you're in trouble." Ichigo chuckled trying to break the tense atmosphere. He could tell that his reaction frightened the shit out of the guy.

"W-whys that?" He stuttered.

"Because I only have two and they run me ragged. I couldn't imagine keeping up with four!" He tried but he couldn't help but laugh at Minato's defeated expression.

"I thought that's what you were going to say." Minato replied hanging his head, his whole life has spiraled out of control after meeting Musubi.

"A piece of advice?" Ichigo offered.

"Sure."

"Treat them as individuals not just sekirei, get to know each of them what they like and what they don't. After all their just looking to share their love with a person that is special to them, whatever love they give you try to return two fold and you should be fine." He didn't know a lot about Sekirei but from what he's been exposed to so far he figured it was pretty sound advice. With that said he stood up and entered the house looking forward to a relaxing bath and maybe a meal.

"He's right you know." Miya stated calmly. Smirking slightly when Minato jumped straight up into the air.

"Miya-san! Where did you come from!?" He squeaked out trying to calm his racing heart.

"From inside." She deadpanned inwardly giggling at his expression. "I just seen you two talking and was curious is all."

"Miya-san do you know about Sekirei?" he asked dumbfounded. As far as he knew he was doing a decent job keeping their race a secret, even though Musubi blurted it out on more than one occasion.

"Ichigo told me about them, I knew you were an ashikabi and that the others were Sekirei the moment you came crashing in." She replied eyes dancing with mischief. Maybe one day she would tell Minato about her identity as number one, but right now it was more fun to keep up her façade.

"It sounds really easy the way he put though." Minato mumbled to himself.

"Saying it is easy actually living it is a different matter." The landlady stated matter-o-factly. "I think you're on the right path though Minato-kun, just remember what he said take the time to get to know them."

Walking through the halls he mulled over the new information, he was currently living with what he assumed was the son of the woman that interrupted him the other night. Not just any woman but someone that was deeply involved in the Sekirei Plan. Hearing a lot of giggling and laughter coming from his room he just sighed, before smiling he didn't even want to imagine what they were discussing, even though he had a pretty good clue about what it was. Opening the door his suspicions were confirmed by the lewd gestures Uzume was making and the bright blush on Orihime's face.

"Uzume quit being perverted." He sighed I mock exasperation, before a small smile came to his face.

"You're calling me pervert after the things you've done to us recently?" She asked cocking an eyebrow at him as she pointed between herself and Orihime.

"True, but you're still a pervert." He smiled leaning down to give her a kiss. Walking over to the dresser he grabbed some fresh clothes and other supplies for a bath.

"Ichi-kun, can I try to entire your soul?!" Orihime asked excitedly at the prospect of a new adventure and new way to get to know Ichigo.

"Later." he replied trying not to wince at her crest fallen expression. "I promise we can try later, it's just I really need a bath right now."

"Okay, and remember you promised so if we don't I'll sick the little blue men on you." She threatened with a straight face. Earning some laughs from the other two, which she joined in when she was suddenly tackled by Ichigo.

"No need to threaten Hime, it's not like I would have a problem with you wandering around my soul or anything." He joked kissing her on the forehead earning a brilliant smile from the girl.

Jumping when he felt Uzume pinch his ass, he turned on her with a mock glare.

"Don't scowl at me you liked it." She stated sticking her tongue out at him.

Shaking his head in disbelief he just continued with what he originally intended to do, grabbing his stuff he was unsurprised when he was followed by the duo.

"Where are you going Hime didn't you already have your bath?" Uzume asked knowingly earning a huff from the other girl.

"It doesn't count because it wasn't with Ichi-kun." She replied confidently relying on her own skewed logic. She smiled when both of them grabbed her hands and began to venture to the bathroom.

"Just keep it decent you three." Miya called from behind them as they approached the bathroom, bokken resting menacingly on her shoulder as she smiled sweetly at them.

"Of course Miya!" The two females chorused in unison.

"Sure thing." Ichigo replied rolling his eyes earning a glare from the landlady making him smirk a bit. He didn't know why but ruffling Miya's feathers was always fun.

After the door closed Miya's expression morphed from a glare into a small smile, she couldn't imagine going back to the peaceful times before all her residents moved in. Hearing a loud bang from one of the rooms she sighed, before sneaking through the house like a shadow so she could jump out at the right time for maximum effect.

"Sahashi Takami." She stated as she answered her phone

"Hey Mom it's me." Yukari replied as she walked through the east side of town. Toying with the hem of her skirt.

"Yukari? What's going on? Is everything all right?" She asked casually she was a touch concerned her daughter wasn't the type to call her out of the blue.

"Everything's fine, I was going to meet Minato, but he isn't answering his phone. Knowing him he forgot to charge it." She giggled she could never understand for such a smart guy her brother was clueless most the time.

"You could always check the Inn he's staying at." She recommended.

"Huh? I thought he had an apartment." She stated with slight confusion in her voice. She heard her mother chuckle on the other line, something that startled her, since her mother was usually such a serious person.

"Apparently his apartment was for singles only." She stated with mild amusement. Even though the time she spent with her children was rather limited, she made an effort to at least keep tabs on them. Hearing her daughter's laughter made her expression soften even more. After all the business with the Sekirei was over she intended to spend some long overdue quality time with her family.

"So where's the Inn he's staying at located?" She asked between laughs. 'Honestly Minato has the worst luck.' She thought with an abundance of fondness for her brother.

"I can take you there I was going by there anyway."

"When?" She asked only to jump when the sound of a horn honked right beside her. Wheeling around she seen the driver climb out of the driver's seat and walk to the passenger door and open it.

"Been a while Yukari." She smiled as the young woman pounced on her when the door opened. Returning the hug briefly before the sound of a cough broke the two out of their reunion.

"Sorry Kagari, this is my daughter Yukari." She smiled at the grey haired Sekirei sitting across from them. "Yukari, this is Kagari."

Said girl was openly staring at the pretty boy across from her.

'Oh my god so hot!' She thought briefly before saying "Oh my god so hot!"

"Yukari!" Her mother reprimanded ignoring the loan male's chuckle.

"Sorry." She stated sheepishly scratching the back of her head before extending her hand.

"Nice to meet you, your Mom's told me a lot about you. Congratulations on getting into the University." Kagari stated with a touch of mirth in his voice.

"T-Thanks!" She stuttered a little too loudly making Kagari chuckle again, as her cheeks tinged pink. Praying to divert attention from herself she asked, "So where is he staying at specifically."

"Same place I stay, that's why we're heading that way." Kagari smiled as her face got a tad darker. Catching a glare from Takami he decided to stare out the window for the rest of the trip.

-Izumo Inn-

Minato sighed as he sat on the porch with Ku in his lap as she hummed a nameless tune. He didn't know if he should be mad at Ichigo or not, but trying to take his advice turned into a potential disaster.

Thinking back on it made him shudder, as he rubbed the small knot forming on his head.

Walking through the halls he decided to talk with Matsu, an innocent visit was all he wanted. After all she was the one he spent the least amount of time with so he decided to make an effort at strengthening their bond. It started with a conversation, which led to a small hug, then a kiss, by the end of it he was struggling to keep his pants from being ripped off by the red head. A stroke of terror invaded his heart when the door was thrown open with a very angry Miya staring at them, with the demon mask floating directly behind her.

"She wasn't joking when she said the Ashikabi were punished too." He complained as his head throbbed.

Hearing a car pull up he stood, only to have his eyes completely widen. Exiting the limo with Kagari was his own sister. He didn't even register the fact that the car pulled off.

"Yukari?"

"There you are. Why haven't you answered your phone?" She asked giving him a hug. "We were supposed to have lunch remember."

"Ehehe sorry I must have forgot." He replied nervously before yelping when she pinched his arm.

"Just like you to get side tracked and forget about me." She pouted, before her face lite up noticing the small child standing next to her older brother. "You're so cute! Who are you?"

"Kusano." She answered shyly hiding behind Minato's legs.

"It's okay Ku this is my sister Yukari." Minato stated reassuringly grabbing her hand and bringing her in front of him.

"Really Onii-chan?" She asked. Before she got a reply Yukari butted in.

"Onii-chan huh, little young for you Minato." She smirked making her brother wave his hands in front of himself frantically and deny the accusations.

"Ku is going to be Minato's wife someday." The young child declared cheerily, not noticing her ashikabis shoulders slump in embarrassment.

"Seriously Big Bro… eww." Yukari stated making a face of slight disgust.

"H-Hold on it's not like that… wait why are you arriving with Kagari?" He replied while trying to direct the attention away from Ku and himself.

"Oh, he was getting a ride here with Mom and she picked me up because someone wouldn't answer their phone." She stated allowing the topic shift, not that she thought that her brother like young children, she just decided to leave the teasing until later.

"That was Mom?!" He squeaked as he paled slightly. Who knows what she would do if she found out the kind of situation he was in.

"Yep and you're lucky she had to get back to work. She's going to be so disappointed when she finds out her only son is a lolicon." She snickered. Hearing a cough beside her she blushed in embarrassment as she caught the growing amusement in Kagari's eyes.

"It was nice to meet Yukari-san, later Minato." The flame sekirei stated walking into the house.

"Bye." Yukari sighed dreamily as she watched the man walk away. A slight trail of drool leaving her mouth as her mind wandered thinking of all the things she could do with such a beautiful man. She came to when her brother snapped his fingers in front of her face.

"There you are, you okay you were making some funny faces for a second there?" He asked chuckling to himself, he knew of his sister's obsession with effeminate men, she really didn't try to hide it after all.

"Who's this Minato-san?" Miya asked walking into the yard.

"My sister Yukari, ah Yukari this is my land lady Miya." He introduced.

"Nice to meet you." Yukari stated extending her hand.

"Likewise, would like a tour." Miya offered politely.

"Sure!" The younger girl replied enthusiastically. From the moment she found out that Kagari lived here she was planning on renting a room.

Picking up Ku he jogged after the pair as they left him standing in the yard. Noticing her yawn he made a detour and dropped her off at her room to take a nap. Finally catching them in the hallway by the bathroom, he was caught off guard when the door was flung open and two girls ran out carrying armfuls of clothes and towels.

Miya jumped back and was confused when Uzume and Orihime ran passed them, laughing the whole way. The confusion turned to anger when she seen what they were wearing or in this instance not wearing. While Orihime at least had the decency to wear panties, Uzume was running bare assed to the world.

"Sorry Miya!" They chorused as they rounded the corner and ran up the stairs.

"What was that?!" Yukari asked as she moved away from the wall that she was knocked into.

"That was…" Miya started only to be interrupted by someone's annoyed shout.

"Damn it! Get back here with my clothes!" Ichigo shouted from the changing room. Rubbing his temples as he stared down at the only thing left to cover his modesty, a small wash cloth. Deciding to chance it he covered himself the best he could and stepped into the hall.

He immediately regretted that decision as he came face to face with Miya, who from judging by the look she was giving him was extremely unhappy. Straightening his shoulders he stated.

"Not my fault Miya."

"Acts of indecency are not permitted here Ichigo. That includes walking around naked." She replied back sweetly.

Her mind officially melted down as she stared shamelessly at the man in front of her. He was far from the pretty boys she usually was attracted to, not to say that he was beautiful in his own right. A droplet of water caught her eye as she watched it travel down his well-toned body, following it as it made its way all the way down and disappeared behind the cloth. She barely stopped herself from reaching out and moving the offending material out of her way.

'He's incredible! That hair! That scowl! Those scars! Oh god his muscles! He's a bad boy!' She squealed in her mind. She didn't hear the conversation going on around her as she watched his hand shifted that held the flimsy cloth barely concealing the flesh behind it. 'Oh wow!'

The sound of a loud slap brought her out of her daze. Noticing everyone staring at her with surprised expressions on their face and the orange man staring directly at her she mumbled out a weak "What?"

Ichigo just stared disbelievingly at the girl, as she stood there in her school uniform, hand still raised, looking like a deer caught in the headlights. After a bit of banter with Miya he decided to walk away, only to feel a sting on his left ass cheek. Shifting his eyes between the girl and the man he knew as Minato he could see the family resemblance.

"Y-Yukari!" Minato Squeaked, fearing for his sister. He was glad that the other ashikabi seemed to be just as shocked as everyone else and hadn't moved to strike her down. Shifting his eyes to the land lady, he blanched when she was… giggling behind her hand. Obviously enjoying this turn of events.

"S-Sorry!" She mumbled with her face glowing a brilliant shade of red.

Coming out of his stupor he wanted to laugh, no one had ever had the guts to swat him on the ass. Hell Yoruichi never did that and she had more than enough chances to. An idea came to his mind, an idea that he would have never done before, he chalked it up to Uzume's teasing nature rubbing off on him. Slowly walking towards the girl who seemed to be cemented in place, he stopped just short of her and leaning in.

"It's usually a good idea to get to know someone before giving them a spanking." He whispered in her ear. Stepping back he inwardly laughed when she turned wide eyes to him and if possible got redder as she nodded.

Turning to walk away again he felt his butt ring with pain again as a second slap echoed down the hall. Turning in surprise his mouth opened to say something, but snapped shut when Miya was staring at him menacingly.

"What not going to whisper anything into my ear Ichigo?" Miya asked a slight edge in her voice.

"Maybe later." He retorted much to her surprise and walked away. With each step he plotted on how to get his girls back for his now stinging ass.

It took everything Miya had to not burst out in outright laughter as Ichigo walked away with two bright red hand prints on his bum. Turning back to other two she just shook her head as Minato was passed out on the floor and his sister still staring at the orange haired man as he walked away.

"Yukari-san, I do not permit such acts in my home so please refrain from doing so in the future." She stated calmly. "I will show you to your room."

"M-My room!" She exclaimed.

"You were going to request a room here, no?" Miya asked already knowing the answer.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" She cheered grabbing her brother's foot and dragging him along.

-Ichigo's room-

"You two are so dead!" He roared turning around and motioning to his backside, hearing them gasp and burst out into laughter only soured his mood. Opening his mouth to say more he was interrupted by his phone going off, walking to the nightstand he threw the wash cloth hitting Orihime in the face who only laughed harder.

"Hello?" He answered in a gruff voice.

"Hello Kurosaki-san, this is Sahashi Takami. Would it be possible for you to meet me out front?" She asked in a calm and collected voice.

"For what?" He asked shifting the phone holding it between his ear and shoulder while putting on his boxers.

"I need to ask you something?"

"Well we're talking right now just ask." He responded as he continued to get dressed ignoring the looks his Sekirei were sending him.

"I would rather ask in person." She reaffirmed.

"Fine I will be down in a second." Hanging up his phone he turned to the other two. "I'll be back in a little bit."

"Wait who was that Ichigo?" Uzume asked. Standing up and walking towards him, she placed a hand on his forearm. "Is something wrong?"

"No." He said shaking his head. Pressing his forehead to hers he smiled, feeling Orihime wrap her arms around him from behind he gave Uzume a kiss before giving Orihime one and stating, "Just stay here I'll be back in a second."

Moving to follow, Uzume was stopped when her sister grabbed her wrist.

"He said he'll be fine, plus he asked us to stay here." She said in a soft voice.

"But…" She began only to see Orihime shake her head, sighing in defeat before a smile came to her face. "I wonder who slapped his ass!"

He shook his head in amusement when he heard their laughter again, they weren't off the hook by a long shot he mused. Seeing Miya staring out the window he stopped.

"You all right?" Seeing her jump slightly he cocked an eyebrow, Miya never jumped.

"Yeah, sorry I was just thinking of something." She replied giving him a small smile.

"Wanna talk about it?" Seeing her shake her head he just shrugged, "Well if ya fell like it I'm always here."

With a wave over his shoulder he disappeared down the steps and out the front door. Seeing a limo parked in front of the house with a driver waiting to open the door, he made his way towards it. Climbing inside he sat across from the white haired woman wincing slightly as he sat down and cursing his sekirei in his mind. Feeling the car pull away he kept his senses sharp for a potential trap.

"So what's this about?" He asked tersely, never one to mince words.

"I want to ask you a favor." She replied.

"Favors are for friends, last time I looked me and you weren't friends."

"Yes I know, but friendships usually start somewhere correct?" She answered back confidently.

Keeping a critical eye on her he kept his mouth shut. Something was off she seemed anxious, worried even.

"It's about my son." She stated.

The tumblers all fell into place, she was worried for her son's wellbeing.

"I'm not a threat to him. If that's all you can take me back now."

"Will you keep him safe for me?" She asked a note of pleading leaking into her voice. Seeing him snap his gaze to her she knew she caught him off guard.

"Why not just pull him out of the plan?" He asked shifting his weight and leaning his forearms on his legs.

"I tried, but Minaka won't allow it." She answered rolling down the window and lighting a cigarette.

"What a prick." He stated leaning his head back against the seat. Hearing her chuckle he cracked an eye open.

"He certainly is." She agreed. "So can you help me?"

"What about what you promised me at the warehouse?" He asked staring her directly in the eye. Higa was still very much on his mind.

"I'm working on it, but Minaka is being difficult about it." She stated exhaling a puff of smoke.

"Probably guessing I should watch your daughter also, seeing as she's moving into the Inn as well." Seeing the woman face palm, before snapping her eyes to him he smiled.

"You said as well? So you're going to look out for Minato?"

"I was planning on it anyway he seems like a decent person." Ichigo shrugged, he had nothing against the guy personally and he didn't want to see an innocent person hurt. Seeing her relieved smile he just nodded.

Dropping him back off at the Inn she rolled her window down.

"Thank you Kurosaki-san."

"Ichigo." He corrected.

"What?"

"Where friends now right, so just call me Ichigo. Don't forget about your end of the deal Takami." He said in a calm voice holding her gaze with his own, banging on the top of the roof signaling the driver to pull away.

'What a scary kid. Did I just make a deal with the devil?' She frowned as she pulled away.

Looking at his watch he heard his stomach growl. He missed breakfast, hopefully he wasn't missing lunch as well. Walking through the front door he heard a large commotion coming from the kitchen.

'Isn't this place ever quiet?' He sighed making his way towards the commotion.

Walking into the kitchen his eyes widened in alarm, Orihime was holding a pan defending herself against a busty brunette wielding a spatula. There were ingredients strewn all over the counter top and both were smeared with what he assumed was curry.

"What the hell is going on in here!?" He shouted over the commotion.

"She was trying to poison everyone!" Musubi declared, pointing her spatula accusingly at Orihime.

"I was not!" Orihime bristled with indignation. "I was helping make lunch!"

Ichigo's stomach dropped at the thought of Orihime cooking. Before he knew it both females turned on him and began pleading their cases at a thousand words a minute. Throwing up his hands in surrender he began to back away slowly, for every step back he took they took two forward. His eyes shifted from face to face, 'change the hair and eye color and they could be twins.' He couldn't even make out what they were saying at this point, it was just a long string of jabbering.

"Enough!" He shouted covering his ears. "You will cook lunch for your ashikabi and sister sekirei." He said pointing at Musubi.

"Orihime if you want to cook something for Me and Uzume you can." He stated weakly already preparing for the stomach ache to come. 'Sorry Uzume, but we're in this together.' Seeing both girls beam at him, he was surprised when they started chattering a mile a minute again while cooking together.

"That was quite sweet of you Ichigo, you managed to make them both happy. I thought Orihime-chan wasn't a very good cook?" Miya asked in mild amusement, seeing him hang his head in defeat she smiled as she walked away.

"I'm sitting this one out." Uzume protested as she gripped the side of the bedroom door like a vice. She remembered clearly the last time Orihime made something for her.

"If I'm doing it so are you." He said tugging on her foot. "Plus it will make her really sad if you refuse."

"That's low Ichigo." Uzume replied letting go of the door, the last thing she wanted see was a disappointed Orihime.

"All's fair as they say." He grinned. Grabbing her by her hand they began the long walk to their doom.

Walking into the dining room he was surprised by the amount of people there, Miya had to even bring in another table to accommodate everyone. Taking a seat he was surprised when the girl in the school uniform took a seat right between him and Kagari, he couldn't prove it but he swore he heard her mumble something about a 'Yukari sandwich'. Turning to his left he seen that Uzume also heard her comment if her narrowed gaze was anything to go by. Looking around the table he noticed the others all devouring what looked like a fantastic curry and rice dish. Hearing the kitchen door open he seen Orihime walk in with a small pot in her hands, looking extremely proud of herself.

Noticing that her seat next to Ichigo was taken she shifted her eyes to Uzume, a small smile tugged at her lips when her sister slid over and let her sit next to him. She could tell that it annoyed her to do so, but the small gesture made her heart swell. Setting the pot down she removed the lid.

It was surprising, it smelled wonderful, but he's been fooled by her before. His intuition proved correct when she heaped a spoonful of rice on his plate followed by what looked like a purple goo.

"It looks good Orihime, what is it?" He asked through a strained smile.

"My famous wasabi, habanero, chicken and tofu curry!" She beamed. As everyone at the table turned slightly green. "It's really good if you add chocolate sauce."

Before he could stop her she squeezed a bunch of chocolate on top, now he loved chocolate that was no secret. It was the other ingredients that he didn't trust he knew damn well there would be surprise ingredients in there somewhere. Looking over at Uzume he was surprised when she was wolfing it down, taking a closer look he seen that her eyes were glazed over and she seemed to be on auto-pilot. 'How the hell did she manage that?!' He wondered in awe.

Stealing his own nerves and taking a couple glances at the amused faces around him he took a large bite.

-Higa pharmaceuticals-

He paced his office for what seemed like the 300th time in the last five minutes. He's been over every scenario, he knew without a doubt that Minaka was going to screw him over somehow. He cursed himself for letting his greed back him into a corner.

"Join Minaka or face down Kurosaki?" He mumbled those were his only options, running away never once crossed his mind. Seeing Toyatoma enter he straightened his posture and straightened his tie, he knew he looked disheveled, he hadn't slept a wink since Kakizaki's death.

"The board of directors has assembled Higa-sama." She relayed.

"Thank you." He nodded curtly and made his way towards the door. Walking through the hallways he noticed everyone giving him a wide birth. It was to be expected, the last person that approached him in the last 24hrs. he fired on the spot.

Stealing himself as he reached the conference room he opened the door, he truly hated dealing with these assholes. Even if he owned the company he had to pander to them, had to keep the stock holders happy after all. He was surprised that they hadn't tried to file an injunction against and take over the company themselves.

"Why have you called us here?" One of them barked before taking a puff of his cigar. Not an ounce of respect in his voice.

"Gentlemen I have called you here to announce our merger with M.B.I."

A/N: I hope you guys enjoy the chapter I had a lot of fun writing it, been in a slump lately and for that I apologize. Don't worry though I think about the story every day, thanks to those that review, fav and follow.
