In Izumo's Inn, good things are not going well while Rayne is out there with Kazehana. It's been twenty minutes now ever since Rias and her peerages arrived at the inn and they have already started going at each other, all arguing about Rayne while those who don't really care much are elsewhere but are spectating this whole argument. Tsukiumi with Matsu and Musubi was talking to Rias, Akeno and Rossweisse that just arrived, wearing her uniform and not her combat armour.
"Once Rayne returns he's going to return to me." Rias said crossing her arms looking at Tsukiumi "That man is my slave and he will do as I ask him to do."
"He isn't your slave Rias." Akeno intervenes when she walks over to her "Rayne loves me more than you do, therefore he cares about me more."
"Rayne does not belong to any of you." Tsukiumi said "Rayne is my husband so therefore he belongs to me."
"Are you even married to him?"
"She isn't married to Rayne." Musubi interrupts "She just wants him for herself."
"How dare thee turn against me!" Tsukiumi turns to Musubi "You are not part of this conversation."
"Yes I do; I am his Sekirei. Rayne made me his first Sekirei so I serve him first before you do."
"Well I met Rayne before any of you did." Rias said "So there."
"Although Technically the only thing you all have in common is that you all slept with Rayne." Matsu said "And the only thing that was more close to Rayne was this girl Raynare."
"How do you know that?" Akeno asks
"Rayne told me one day, he said that he once had a girlfriend named Raynare who was with him for a few months."
"Well has he told you that he killed Raynare?" Rias walks forward close to Matsu
"What?"
"Rayne did what?" Tsukiumi asks
Rias looks back to her "She was a fallen angel and murdered Rayne, because of her I turned Rayne into a devil and in the end she only wanted to make him suffer so he ended her life."
Musubi "..."
"I don't believe this." Matsu said "Rayne never said anything about that."
"He doesn't really like to talk about it…" Akeno leans back against the wall "Rayne just wants to forget about it, move on."
"So will he kill us if we break his heart?" Matsu asks
"I really doubt it." Akeno said "He still has a kind heart unless one of you thinks of betraying him the same way Raynare did to him."
"Well It doesn't matter what happened. Rayne is my husband and all of you can –"
"But you haven't even slept with him yet." Matsu said
"…" Tsukiumi was about to say something however Matsu got her there and she started blushing, turning away and crossing her arms "Whatever…."
Homura will end up coming back inside the inn after he got back from some place, noticing Kiba and Koneko sitting together while Hakufu stood nearby. "I'm back… Are they still going?"
"I'm afraid so." Kiba said looking towards him "For twenty minutes now…" He turns his head back hearing them still arguing "All for Rayne huh…"
"Just how many women did he slept with?"
"I think it's a lot." Octavia said walking over to Homura, crossing her arms "I think he lost his virginity to Kuroka, he slept with Raynare who he thought was his girlfriend, he ended up sleeping with Akeno then Rias and I don't know who he slept after that."
"Well he kind of slept with one Sekirei after another." Homura said "I think he slept with Musubi and Matsu, don't think he slept with Tsukiumi yet."
"Are you his Sekirei?" Kiba asks
"No I'm not." He shakes his head "Just someone who lives here." He looks back seeing Rossweisse coming out of there "How's it going?"
"Well they finally calmed down, they will go back arguing soon."
"Of course…"
"Say have you seen Uzume around?"
"The girl with the brown hair in a ponytail?" Octavia asks
"Yeah."
"I think she went outside after she came back from the hospital; she didn't look well she was upset about something."
"I'll go talk to her." Homura walks them "Before they all go fighting each other again."
Uzume was in her room sitting there against the wardrobe behind her, she sits there having her arms around her legs when they are against her chest, looking down at her knees in front of her having her eyes half opened as she had this sad look. She started hearing her door knocking and got her looking towards it, she didn't want to open it but Homura keeps knocking for a while.
"Uzume it's me, can I come in?"
She sighs and gets up off the ground then started walking up to the door to open it up. "What do you want Homura?"
"What happened?"
She turns back leaving the door open for him to walk on through, she keeps walking and sits on her bed and not on the floor while Homura stands there looking down at her seeing her head looking at the ground.
"She's dead isn't she?"
"I went to the hospital after the fight with Riser, I stayed with her for a few hours before she finally passed away."
"I am sorry Uzume, at least she chose to let you live. If you kissed her….."
"I know but I wish there was a way to save her…" She looks up to Homura "Riser and his phoenix powers could have saved her if I did my job."
"So you would really betray all of us for your Ashikabi?"
"I didn't… but I just couldn't do it, I couldn't kill all of you. I just…." She sighs "I don't know what I was doing…" She looks to the side
"Well… You could always join Rayne, I don't think he –"
"I am not going to join Rayne." She looks up at him "Besides he wouldn't allow me to kiss him after what I almost did, I almost got Musubi killed."
"Well your still alive, he didn't kill you."
"I know but still…."
"If you want to make amends on what you did, you should wait until Rayne comes back and see what he will say to you."
"I guess so…"
"But if you did join Rayne I'm sure he's just going to think of you as a friend, not like Musubi and the others."
"How come you haven't joined?" She looks up at him
"Yeah I don't think Rayne is going to kiss me, I am a guy you know."
"And Rayne just can't be gay for a few seconds?"
Homura slightly laughs "I guess not… And I really don't want my first kiss to be a guy…"
"If you say so."
"By the way, what did your Ashikabi said to you while you were with her?"
"She…" She stops and looks back seeing Matsu coming in the room "Matsu?"
"You guys better come quick… Rias just challenged Tsukiumi…"
Rias and Tsukiumi stood outside in the yard both looking at one another and stood away from each other while everyone else stood by the side of the house looking at this, not wanting to get involved in this but if it gets too far then they will get involved in this fight if it gets too serious.
"This is not going to go well here." Kiba said then looks to Shiryuu "Just what can that Sekirei do?"
"She does watery attacks." Shiryuu said while looking at her "Different type of watery attacks, she is good but…" She turns towards Rias "I can't judge a book by it's cover."
"Rias does destructive power." Koneko said "This water Sekirei won't stand a chance."
"Hey don't underestimate us Sekirei's." Musubi said
"Well you shouldn't underestimate us devils." Hakufu said looking to Musubi "You Sekirei's don't look so tough."
"Say that again!"
"You do know that we defeated Riser and a lot of his sub ordinance, I don't think you guys could defeat them." Shiryuu said
"Well I guess Rias and Tsukiumi shouldn't be the only ones here that should be fighting." Xenovia steps forward
"I don't think that's a good idea." Rossweisse said
"Unless you want Miya coming back seeing the inn destroyed…" Homura comes walking towards them with Uzume and Matsu "She will kill all of us."
"Well not all of us." Rossweisse said looking at both Tsukiumi and Rias preparing themselves, seeing Rias consumed in her destructive energy while Tsukiumi surrounds herself with water.
"Are you ready?" Tsukiumi asks
"This will be done in a minute." Rias said
"You know… Shouldn't Musubi be fighting Rias?" Matsu said "I mean she is clearly Rayne's first Sekirei."
"Well Raynare is Rayne's first love but that isn't going to work out well." Kiba said "Let's just see how this goes and…. Oh no…"
Both Tsukiumi and Rias charges towards one another ready to cause mayhem in this yard and will likely end up causing a part of the house to be destroyed, just as the two gets close to one another a problem will happen as someone comes and interferes between the two by slamming both pans to their heads hard, sending them collapsing onto the floor losing their aura or power. Both the two will be crouching there having both hands on their heads while Miya stood there in this dark look, looking down at them while holding two of the pans while everyone else just watched when this happened.
"I come back with dinner for all of us and I discover that you two are preparing to fight right here in my yard?" Miya said looking at the two
"This… Is none of your business…" Tsukiumi "Quit trying to mess with the affairs o –"
Miya's aura ends up getting bigger when she said that, staring dead at Tsukiumi while Rias looks up seeing that too but wouldn't say a word. "This is my inn and it's my rules, if you do have a problem about it then say so now. If you still wish to fight…" She will turn back causing her aura to fade away "There will be no dinner for the both of you."
"…."
Rossweisse will have a smile on her face pretending all that just never happened. "Welcome back Miya, just what type of food will we be having tonight?"
"We are having chicken stir fry tonight Rossweisse." She said with a smile on her face "I trust you will be helping me on this one." She then looks back noticing Rias and Tsukiumi standing up, locking eyes against each other in an aggressive way.
"Sure."
"And I trust all of you will be on your best behaviour." She looks to Rias' peerages.
"Yes." Half of them would say it at the same time. Rias would also say it when she walks closer to Miya.
Once she walked out of there heading back to the kitchen with Matsu and Rossweisse, Akeno looks back to Rias while Tsukiumi will walk off elsewhere. "Was it really necessary to fight at times like this?"
Rias sighs and looks to the side "She was really asking for it."
"It's cute that you will fight for Rayne." Akeno slightly laughs
Rias looks back while blushing "Be quiet Akeno! I don't see you fighting for Rayne."
Akeno will turn away while smiling "I don't need to fight for Rayne, he already chose me and that's that."
"….."
After an hour later everyone was pretty much in an awkward position while they eat chicken stir fry, there sitting in the dining room and in the lounge room, there not separated because some of Rias' team is with the Sekirei's and some Sekirei's is with the others. They haven't said anything to one another but they did get a liking to the stir fry, thanks to the others who served it and did alright with it.
For a few minutes later Rayne finally came back inside the inn with Kazehana walking behind him. "I'm back!"
"Welcome back Rayne." Miya said looking over to him then to Kazehana "Hello Kazehana."
"Well hey there Miya, it's been a while." She walks over next to Rayne, having her arm wrapped around Rayne. How's things going with you in the inn."
"Take a guess." She looks to Rossweisse having an apron on covering her normal clothes, she then looks to the side seeing Octavia walking through seeing them.
"Rayne?"
"Oh hey Octavia." He turns to her "What's been happening?"
"Not much…" She walks to the kitchen table lending Miya her plate
"Is everyone alive in there?"
"Why don't you go and check for yourself." She points backwards
"So why is a woman a king?" Tsukiumi can be heard from within the dining room "And has a queen with you and yet you two are not even together."
Rias sighs "We are not together! Akeno is my friend and I chose her to be my queen, it's a rule we devil have and I am the leader of my group, which leaves me as the king while Akeno is second in command of my group. Akeno is my queen, the second strongest one in my group."
"So why is Rayne a damn pawn anyway?" Matsu asks "If he is a warrior type then how come he isn't a knight?"
"Because those two slots have already been taken." Xenovia said eating the last bit of chicken she had on her plate. "Me and Kiba are the knights who sworn to protect Rias and everyone else."
"Well we sworn to protect Rayne." Musubi said "We all serve him now until the end."
"Yes but with the tournament over what happens to you Sekirei's now?" Rias asks crossing her arms, sitting between Xenovia and Akeno.
"Hmmmnn you know I am not sure."
"You know come to think of it…" Matsu place her finger on her thinking about it. "We were supposed to get a prize once this tournament is over, and yet we got nothing. Nothing really happened."
"Shouldn't the MBI supposed to award us for the victory we have done?" Shiryuu said leaning against the wall holding a glass cup
"Yes but yet they never showed up, they were supposed to award us and yet nothing has happened. Do you think it's too late, you think the monsters out there have already destroyed the MBI headquarters?"
"That explains a lot." Rayne comes forth to the door looking down at them. "Some stupid ending this tournament was."
"Rayne!" Matsu stands up and so do the others.
"It's about time you finally arrived Rayne." Xenovia said
"Yeah." Kiba walks up to Rayne from the side "What took you so long?"
"Blast from the past, that's what happen." He looks to Kazehana
"And who the hell is she?" Rias said hands on hips looking to Kazehana, standing next to Rayne.
"Names Kazehana, I too am a Sekirei."
"Kazehana!" Tsukiumi intervenes "So you finally got close to Rayne… And alone…"
"Something like that." She looks to Rayne and kisses his cheek "Thanks dear." She moves away from him
"For what?"
'For bringing me into this fun house." She smiles looking at him then to the others
"Oh no… You two didn't…" Tsukiumi said
"No…" He looks at her slightly laughing "We didn't have sex…."
"Oh I don't know about that Rayne… I think my breasts are a bit sore after what you did to me."
"….."
After ten minutes later Rayne ends up sitting by the table eating what is left of the stir fry after he got himself slapped a couple of times by the others, looking away having their arms crossed while the others just laughed this off and so did Kazehana, leaning against the wall looking at them all before looking back to Rayne.
"Well that was fun."
"Oh well it was still worth it." Rayne said drinking his cup
"Of course you would say that!" Tsukiumi said hands on hips
"So can we finally get down to business here?" He looks back to the others "It's time that we finally take care of the MBI once and for all."
"I thought we weren't going to take care of them?" Matsu said
"We should have gotten word from them but they are silent, there is no sign of them so either the monsters killed them off or something happen. We have to take care of this now."
"So what's your plan…" Shiryuu walks up to him "King."
"King?"
"That's right… Since we all serve you that means you are most likely should be called a king." Musubi said
"Uhm… Seriously?"
"It does make a ring to it… King Rayne." Kazehana said
"And if you are the king then I shall take thou place as queen." Tsukiumi said taking a step forward
"Oh come on…"
"What you have someone else to be crown queen?"
"If I said that person's name then the rest of you will try to kill her."
"Look I don't care who is his queen." Akeno walks over to Rayne, placing her hand over his hand and moving it up in front of him. "All I care about is serving Rayne and protect him and all those who serves him."
Rayne smiles at her "Yeah." He nods "So are we all going to argue about this for the next few hours?" He started walking forward looking at them all "Or are we finally going to kick ass against the MBI and crush some god damn monsters?"
"YEAH!"
"Well then… I guess you are no longer the pawn anymore Rayne." Rias said smiling at him "What shall we do… King."
"Well before we get right into all of this I have to ask something…"
"What is it?' Rossweisse asks
Rayne points towards Akitsu who was sitting on the ground next to Koneko "What the hell is she doing here?"
"Well…" Rossweisse and the others looks over to her, seeing her sitting there wearing a bluish kimono, sitting there crossing her legs. "She was left behind." She looks back to Rayne.
"Seriously?"
"Well we couldn't just leave her there, and since she isn't really a full blown Sekirei I thought maybe she can stay here with us."
"Well… I guess so..." He looks back to Akitsu "Welcome aboard."
"Are you going to sleep with her next?" Xenovia said to him
"Can you girls like stop asking me to have sex with you all…" He gets up and walks off "Jeez…"
"He so loves it." Kazehana said
Rias "Mhmmnn…"
Akeno "Yep."
Xenovia "Totally."
