Rayne and Musubi finally got somewhere to go, being invited inside the inn and also were invited for a late dinner by Miya the landlady of this inn. Both Musubi and Rayne started eating while Miya comes walking in the room seeing them already eating, Rayne would stop watching Musubi eating all of it before he could eat all of his food seeing her wanting seconds she looks at Rayne for the moment then grabs another plate and continues eating.

"Well you seem to be really hungry." Miya said sitting on the floor in front of the small table, kneeling down looking at Musubi.

"Sorry about barging in, we didn't really have anywhere else to go. Got kicked out of my apartment due to a certain someone." He turns his eyes to the side at Musubi

Musubi stops and looks at him "Hmn?"

"Yeah sorry about this." He looks back to her

"You don't need to apologise, when someone is in need of help and got nowhere else to go then you should help them."

"Really? Well we seem to be having some bad luck lately..."

"Oh really? What happen?"

"Well i met her in the streets..." He looks at Musubi while she keeps eating then looks back to Miya "Got pulled into trouble, my bike was destroyed, got kicked out of my apartment and now i am stuck wondering around the dark streets with her with nowhere else to go."

"Well you are free to stay here as much as you want, as long as you pay for the rent."

"Oh i will see to that done." He grabs a cup of water on the table and drinks most of it.

Miya looks at his rings while he drinks "They are amazing rings..."

Rayne stops drinking "Thanks... one belonged to my brother while the other ring... it's complicated."

"How come you're not with your brother or your family?"

Once she said about his family Musubi stops eating and turns her head to Rayne, seeing him looking down a bit, hesitating at first before finally responding to her. "There dead."

"Oh... I'm sorry."

"There all dead... killed by... certain things."

"I am sorry for your loss Rayne... i too lost my husband in a terrible accident."

"My condolences." He started drinking from his cup again.

Someone else comes through that door that for Rayne's attention, hearing a woman letting a deep sighs when she enters "Is it dinner already?"

Rayne spits out the water out of his mouth seeing another member of this household Uzume, coming in the room wearing a cyan nightgown having the bottom of the skirt part coming close to her knees. "Uzume i told you to put on some clothes before eating." Miya said to her when she comes to sit down next to her.

"Sorry mother..." She looks at the two "Who are they?" Then to Rayne "Who's this handsome devil?"

Rayne slightly smiles drinking what is left of his cup before responding "The names Rayne."

"Hi I'm Uzume."

Miya stands up and grabs some of the empty cups and plates "If you would like to stay here i could clean those clothes of yours, maybe you should also discard your guns."

"Uhm..." He looks down then to her "How did you..."

"It's easy to see them."

"Not.. going to ask what there for?"

"Oh i know what there for." She turns back and walks to the kitchen

"Wow you got guns in this house?" Uzume asks

Rayne sighs and takes out both his handguns "Don't worry I'm not a murderer... if i wanted to go kill people i would have done that by now. Although i am tempted to shoot the guy who made Quake: Champions... disgraceful for what they have done to a great legend."

"You're a gamer?" Musubi asks placing the second plate on the table looking at Rayne while drinking her cup of water.

"Not a full blown gamer... i only play the old schools and those who have upgraded them, i am practically an old shooter who plays the old school ones, i can make some exceptions with some that involves blood and gore."

"Are there any other firearms you hold?" Miya asks him when coming back in the room looking at his firearms

"Well i got a..." He moves his hand through his coat to grab the Revenant however it was not there. "No..."

"What's wrong?" Musubi asks

"Shit!" He stands up

"Language please." Miya said

"That bag..." He looks at Musubi "It's still there in the park."

"Oh... oops..."

Rayne sighs and grabs his handguns and started to walk out of the room "Sorry guys i have to go."

"Rayne wait..." Musubi stands up

Miya stands up too looking at Rayne "You should stay here, it's still raining outside."

"I know..." He looks back to her "But there's things in that bag that holds dear to me... I can't leave it there." He looks at Musubi "Stay here Musubi, I'll be back." He looks at Uzume but doesn't say a word then walks out of there, heading out through the door.

"Hmmnn..." Musubi sits back down

"What's with him?" Uzume looks at Musubi while eating.

As the rain continues to rain down over the area and Rayne flies through the rain in the middle of the night, flying fast through the rain drops getting completely soaked, eventually he will make it to the park and will land on the ground near the bench where Rayne and Musubi was sitting before. Rayne walks over to the bench seeing the bag underneath the bench, he sighs relieved and quickly grabs the bag and checks the inside to see if it's alright but before he does that he decided to use his devil wings as an umbrella, forming his two wings together above him before unzipping the bag to see inside, noticing there's two things missing.

"Shit... where is it..." He unzips the bag and looks around, looking through the darkness he started to hear something causing him to take out his handgun and takes aim at one of the directions. He aims out seeing nothing out there but there is someone out there. "Come on out... wherever you are..."

"If you insist." A voice is heard from behind Rayne.

Rayne quickly turns back to aim his handgun at the man however he was armed with his Revenant and he fired first before Rayne could, he hits his chest hard with the double barrel sending Rayne falling back and hitting the wet ground hard, feeling some of his ribs just broke and lost his handgun. He lies on the ground letting the rain fall down on his body and his wings returns inside of him, letting his blood spill over the wet ground and started to move a bit but still feels the hard pain from that Revenant.

The man walks over to Rayne while examining the Revenant "Intriguing weapon... I'm guessing you got this from someone... Sona no doubt." He stops and stands near Rayne, loading the double barrel.

Rayne turns his head to the side at his rings, seeing his black ring started to glow however before he could draw that sword this man fired yet again but this time he targeted his wrist, broken the bones of that causing his hand to be disabled. Rayne yells out loud feeling the blast and this man pretty much place his foot over his hand, trying to get him off he turns his body to the side and started hitting his foot with his other hand a few times before he gets kicked back across the face.

"... Cao..." Rayne said having his eyes darkened red looking at him while he crouches a bit down to him still having his foot over his hand.

"So... you're the man that was meant to kill me. I am not impressed..." He takes out the book that has precious memories of him and his family. "You look funny as a kid... your parents look lovely."

"Give... that back... you son of a bitch..."

"What are you going to do about it?" He places his double barrel on his chest "Do yourself a favour... leave this city and don't come back, don't find any Sekirei's or i will kill you and i will let them watch and they too will die."

"Why... do you care about the Sekirei's...?"

"I don't... i care about taking care of business with the others in this city, there all right here right for the taking." He stands up "I will kill them all, the devils and fallen angels... they will all die here in this city and any Sekirei's who are willingly join us... well they can be pawns for the real fight that's about to come."

"Oh yeah... well now i have to kill you..."

"Yeah right... however i prefer that the alternative future never happens, you will never take control of the Hero Faction, never." He summons his spear and aims it down at Rayne.

"Isn't that..." He turns his head to the side

"Yes it is..." He slowly moves the front of the spear closer to his head, crouching back down and grabs his face making him aim his head so his spear can aim at his eye. He would stop and senses two people coming to his location, looking back to Rayne his spear would vanish then moves back off of him. "I guess it's another time then... but this better be the last time we meet." He walks past him heading out of here but he drops the book in the water behind Rayne.

Rayne slowly turns around having his chest lying on the ground, turning his head towards the book seeing it opening up seeing the pictures inside of it getting wet and soaked. He tries to move his hand over to the book seeing the whole thing being soaked and pictures being destroyed by the rain, he keeps trying to reach his hand over the book but since he couldn't reach it he couldn't go anymore.

Rayne just lies there slowly closing his eyes seeing someone coming towards Rayne; before he could see his face he goes unconscious. Rayne will slowly wake up an hour later, appearing back in Izumo Inn where he will see Musubi and Miya kneeing both sides to him, seeing him having his eyes slowly open getting the two to be relieved that he is alright and well.

"Well about time you woke up Rayne, you've got hypothermia for staying in the rain for far too long." Miya said

Rayne was lying in a bed on the ground feeling his clothes are removed except for his underwear and feeling very warm at the moment thanks to Miya. "Sorry..." He quickly sits up after remembering "Cao!"

"Rayne..."

"You should stay in bed... you shouldn't be walking around right now."

"I can't do that right now... he..." He sighs placing his hand over the side of his face, he looks at his hand noticing he can now use it, seeing it's covered in bandages but it's already healed.

When he looks at Miya she started to smile while she sits there, having this strange dark purple and black aura behind her and having this strange purple Japanese looking mask behind her having this angry evil look at Rayne. "Please lie back down Rayne, or you will be passing out in a minute."

Musubi "..."

"Uhm... you know what i think i might lie down..." He lies back down and thinks while her aura faded "Rather not get her angry..." he looks away having a sad look thinking about that book he cherished for two months. "It's gone..."

"By the way i place your clothes in the dryer and started to fix your shirt since it's all ripped apart. I also place your bag and your weapons in the other room; i don't want weapons in my inn..."

"Understood..."

"Also that book that you tried to get i am sorry but... it's all destroyed by the heavy rain, that book is the reason why you went out there."

"That was all i have left of my family..."

"You don't have anything else Rayne?" Musubi asks

Rayne looks at her "After my family was murdered in the dark... i was saved by that man i said about, my house was pretty much burned down and all i had left are the memories of my family and that book... was all i have left."

"I'm sorry Rayne..."

Miya stands up "This person... is he the reason why you're a devil?"

Rayne looks back to her "You know that I'm a devil?" He looks back to Musubi

"I didn't say anything."

"I already knew, the regeneration of your skin and bones isn't natural but i couldn't tell what one you are until you told me... i also know that there have been fallen angels and devils and monsters roaming the streets of this city, joining in this Sekirei tournament and slaughtering each other."

"Well i didn't really have a choice of becoming a devil. It was the only way to defeat the man who has been haunting me for a very long time."

"I don't blame you for revenge, i can tell he will never leave you be until one of you is dead. You don't have to worry about a thing." She smiles to him while closing her eyes "I am neutral and i will always allow shelter in my home for anyone out there."

Rayne sighs "Try not to invite any stray devils or lesser demons... they will kill you."

Miya slightly laughs "I am not that stupid." She then stands up "Well now... i think we talked long enough, it's time to go to bed now Musubi."

Musubi jumps up "Okay."

"Hmmnn..." Rayne lies back on the bed and lets a deep sighs

"Try and sleep Rayne, you will be well alright in the morning." Miya said

Miya turns off the lights and makes her way to her bedroom to sleep while both Musubi and Rayne pretty much lie in separate beds in the same room, both the two looks up at the ceiling while darkness comes forth over this house. Rayne was asleep but Musubi on the other hand was still awake and turns her head towards Rayne.

"Are you awake Rayne?" She whispers softly towards him

Rayne opens his eyes "Yeah... not really tired..." He looks at her "Are you ok?"

"I am but i am worried about you, you going to be ok?"

"Not really..."

"Hmmnn... want me to lie next to you?"

Rayne sighs looking up "If you want..."

Musubi smiles and crawls out of her bed and goes with him, he lifts up the blanket for her to lie in seeing she only wearing underwear on at the moment. When Rayne closes the blanket she comes snuggling to him, leaning her head over his shoulder forcing him to wrap his arm around her.

"This is nice..."

"Yeah..." He looks away smiling a bit.

"Say Rayne... i notice your sword... vanished into those rings." She looks to the side looking at his hand seeing his rings are still on. "What are they?"

"Well there Sacred Gears, powerful weapons and i manage to summon my sword from the black ring. It's a good thing too because i rather not walk around the streets with a giant sword on my back, sending it back into the form of a ring is a good way to walk through the crowd."

"It's clever... and the other one?" She looks at the blue ring.

Rayne looks over raising his hand up looking at the blue ring. "That belonged to the killer who butchered my family."

"You wear his ring?"

"He stole my family... so i steal his sword, it's called the Yamato so if i ever get into real trouble i will probably use it, i haven't summoned it yet it might not even come out but it doesn't matter, no one will get their hands on this ring."

"So Rayne... what have you been doing for all your life?"

Rayne looks at Musubi and lowers his hand then looks back to the ceiling. "I became a hunter for a whole life, pretty much fought for ten years or more than that. My only devotion is to hunt down and kill the devil that killed my family, i kept going but i ended up reaching to my downfall when i met a woman who was a fallen angel in disguise and only cared about succeeding her job and that's to kill me..."

"So she failed?"

"She succeeded... she killed me and a devil named Rias brought me back but i became what i never thought i will ever be, i ended up becoming the enemy that i sworn to destroy."

"So why did you live?"

"So i can kill Astaroth... the devil... they will help me achieve my goal and once that is done i will go my separate ways with them. I wanted to do that but they showed me the truth and i listened, i ended up bringing them into my life even though i was afraid they will turn on me however they didn't and they helped me and they will always help me till the end."

"Well..." She places her head over his chest "Looking forward to meet your friends..."

"Yeah..." He looks down at her placing his hand through her hair. "There's going to be a fight if they see her." He said in his mind.

Musubi smiles feeling his hand moving through her hair, she looks up to him then leans forward to kiss him causing the wings to glow yet again brightening the whole room again. Rayne kisses her back and wraps his arms around her, Musubi stops for the moment and her wings vanishes, she looks at Rayne while he looks back to her for a while then she started to move her body up over his chest, having her chest against him and continues kissing him while he keeps kissing her back and her wings never appear again. Rayne continues kissing her while moving his hand over her leg while the other through her hair, she was enjoying this and just when she wanted to be serious she leans her upper body making Rayne move his hand off her head, seeing her blushing alot and turns her head to the side then started to move her hands behind her to undo her bra to take it off and toss it to the side, crossing her arms under her breasts to push them up a bit to him.

"Do you... like this?"

"I can't really say no to this..." Rayne sits up wrapping his arms around her making her look to him so he can kiss her, locking his tongue against hers while they keep going.

Musubi wraps her arms around his neck as they continue to make out in the dark but Rayne soon started to get even more serious when Rayne took over, moving Musubi quickly on the bed with him on top of her, she gasps looking at Rayne when they stopped kissing, her eyes were half shut and smiles to him not going to stop him or anything. Musubi lets go of him when he leans back and moves his hands down through the blanket, pulling down his underwear a bit then pulls her underwear to the side so he can push inside of her causing her to gasp again however Rayne place one hand over her mouth to stop her from making noises.

Rayne lies back on top of her having it inside of her still holding her mouth "Let's not make any noises or else she will come in..." He sees her nod a bit then let's go of her mouth, he then gives her a kiss and started going from here.

As Rayne continues pushing inside of her over and over again causing her to sighs a bit and if she tries to yell he will have his hand over her mouth again, seeing her blushing alot and smiling she was enjoying this and didn't want to ruin this moment for her Ashikabi, she didn't want to ruin this only time to mate with her Ashikabi she just lies back and lets him keep pushing inside of her, lying back on the bed with Rayne on top of her watching her body moving up and down and watching her breasts too, he even grabs one of them hard making her sighs.

Someone else was nearby watching the whole thing, hiding by the sliding door looking out watching them doing this having the sliding door a little bit opened having their eye peaking through the room seeing Rayne turning her body around and decided to go from behind her, pushing inside of her again quickly and placing one hand over her shoulder and the other grabbing her breast hard. Musubi tried so hard not to make noises however with it pushing inside of her tight she then places her hand over her mouth and lets Rayne keep going, placing her head on the pillow while using her other hand over Rayne's hand that was groping her breasts, having her head turn to the side looking a bit to Rayne seeing him smiling at her but eventually he will stop as he couldn't take it anymore.

"Don't stop Rayne..." Musubi whispers when she moved her hand away from her mouth.

"I won't..." He kept going until finally he ends up releasing inside of her causing her to let a deep sighs out while hearing Musubi moaning loudly he can hear her a bit even though she had her mouth covered.

The one who was watching ended up getting up and walking out of there while Rayne turns Musubi around, lying back on top of her and keeps on kissing her for a while before eventually the two will end up finally sleeping together in the bed. Musubi will end up lying next to Rayne having her head over his chest feeling his heart beating faster until it will slow down to normal, Rayne will lie there looking up at the ceiling and started to finally go to sleep and so does she as they got alot to do tomorrow.

As the sun shines out and the clouds are lifted a beautiful day has come to this city and another day in this tournament, pretty much half of the Sekirei's are probably already with their Ashikabi's and the fight is about to begin out there, they will also be dealing with the lesser demons out there but I'm sure they can take them on just to increase their skills. There are others out there that will stay single for the time being however eventually they too will find their Ashikabi's but right now this tournament has just started.

Inside the inn Miya comes walking down the halls about to head into the room where Rayne and Musubi are at this time, just as she comes through the door she sees Rayne coming through the door first. "Oh hello Rayne..." Miya said moving back shock to see him up "How are you feeling?"

"I feel great..." He notices that she is holding a basket with his clothes in them "There cleaned?"

"Yes i thought i could give them to you when you're up."

"Yeah." Rayne grabs the basket "Thank you."

Miya looks over to Musubi seeing her stretching her arms looking at the window, having her back facing her "And how are you feeling Musubi?"

Musubi looks back and smiles "I feel great! Can't wait to go out there fighting Sekirei's."

"Well you two are all ready to go."

"Yep..." Rayne looks to Musubi seeing her nod then winks at her before going to another room where he will put on his clothes.

Musubi was standing outside the door having her clothes on and waiting for Rayne to come out, Miya was outside tending to the garden while Uzume and another person inside this inn that just came out of their room, seeing it was Homura who comes through the door walking down the corridor with Uzume.

"Hey Homura have you seen our new guests now that will be joining us?" Uzume asks while walking with him

"No i haven't... i have been busy." He comes around seeing Musubi standing there causing him to stop.

Musubi looks over to him "Hello."

Uzume walks up to Musubi "So you two had fun together tonight?"

"Yep... we had great fun together."

Homura walks up to Musubi "Welcome to the Izumo inn my name is Homura."

"Hi... I'm Musubi."

"So where's Rayne?" Uzume asks

Before she could answer that Rayne finally comes through the door, pushing both the siding doors up standing there having his proper clothes on, his double barrel in his coat and his two handguns on both sides of his waist, standing ready for a fight. "Here i am."

"Hmn... new guests."

Rayne looks at him "Hey... don't mind us were just about to head out."

"What you two going to be doing?" Uzume asks

Rayne looks at Musubi then to Uzume "Were going for a hunt."
