Out sooner than I thought. I'm hungry and playing video games. So I posted it leave a review thanks
Over the next few days ryu and his sekirei sparred with miya. They quickly, and painfully found out. Miya just wasn't an innkeeper the way she moved with such grace dodging their attacks with no effort. She was on the battlefield a lng time ago, he put the thoughts out of his mind however. Out of his sekirei, yashima lasted the longest refusing to give up. Uzume got tired of it after her hair was matted with sweat dirt. Nanaha pushed herself to her limits, she didn't know how to pace herself but refused to give in, so she ended up passing out or sitting on the sidelines with uzume drinking plenty of water.
Miya stood poised with great instinct, her presence was inspiring. Ryu held his sword out in a classic kenpo stance breathing briskly. Yashima panted at his side, determination in her eyes as she kept the giant hammer steady. The duo nodded wordlessly before running at miya as fast as they could, yashima flanking his left, ryu attacked first with a blinding slash. Miya ducked her purple hair fluttering in the wind, yashima attacked a second after ryu swinging the large hammer downward. Miya's eyes widened slightly, if that hit the ground it could cause widespread damage. With precise timing and strength miya hit the bottom of her hammer knocking it from her hands before yashima could blink miya struck her in the stomach.
"That's enough for today." Miya said. Through the entire thing she never unsheathed her blade merely using her wooden saya to strike, defend, and counter.
Ryu growled quietly sheathing his katana slowly. He didn't even get close to hitting her, anytime he was close she used sharp footwork to distance herself just a centimeter away and delivered a strike. 'Fine by me, I'm hungry!" Uzume said the thundering of foot steps slowly fading. Miya began to walk to the back porch to go and get her beath ready, but ryu stopped her.
"Miya-san, I'll pay extra since you're teaching us too." Ryu said quickly bowing his head slightly.
"It's quite alright ryu-san, I enjoy it." Miya said in a sweet voice.
'But I insist."
"I insist." Miya looked at him with a stern expression. "You wouldn't mind going out to get the groceries would you?"
Ryu shook his head. "I can, if you'd like."
"I'll come with you." Yashima said bashfully.
At this point, ryu knew it was useless arguing with his sekirei. They'd come with, just like they'd sneak into his room.
Ryu and yashima walked on the sidewalk on their way to the store. It was relatively empty today for whatever reason. Ryu didn't mind, he hated crowds so this was good. When suddenly, ryu was struck hard from behind he let out an "umph" collapsing to the ground. As he began to get up he saw a woman sprawled on the sidewalk next to him. She had dark green hair that reached passed her shoulders. And for whatever reason was carrying a staff. She rubbed the back of her head, a pained expression on her face.
"Are you alright, miss?" Ryu asked as yashima helped him to his feet.
"You've got to help me! They're trying to take me back to their master so he can wing me. I know you're an ashikabi who saves sekirei from being forcibly winged." She said, looking up at him with pleading eyes.
"Hold on... Wait! How do you know that? How do you know who I am?" Ryu asked, puzzled.
"Please, you have to help me." She said pleadingly. Ryu opened his mouth to speak, and ask how she knew of him when she spoke again.
"Oh no, there they are!" She exclaimed, pointing behind ryu to the top of the building behind them. He turned around seeing a girl with purple hair in a dress, several bladed discs floating around her. With her was a girl in a yellow and black jumpsuit with orange hair.
"You're coming with us, number 16. Our master wishes to add you to his collection." Barked the one with purple hair getting ready to attack.
"I won't let you hurt my ashikabi-sama!" Yashima moved in front of ryu and toyotoma. She grimaced she was hoping she'd have more time to prepare before her first battle.
Ryu helped the girl up that had plowed on top of him off the sidewalk. He turned to see yashima with her giant hammer raised, facing the other two sekirei that had been chasing the sekirei that landed on ryu. She was a tall woman with long dark green hair and blue eyes. She wore a blue and white tight belly-top, revealing quite some cleavage, which displays the sekirei srest on her left breast. Dark long gloves, stockings hold by a garter over her bloomers and thigh length boots complement her appearance.
"You ladies wouldn't happen to work for hiroto minaka, would you?" Ryu asked with a groan.
"No we don't, we serve higa izumi of the east." Replied the one that wielded several blades.
"I have no clue who that is, nor do I care." Ryu said.
"He is the one who will win the sekirei game, and claim the grand prize at the end." Said the girl in the black and yellow suit, in a melancholic voice.
"Right. That's what they all think." He said as he reaced secretively into his pocket and tried his best to send a text to matsu without looking at his phone. He told her to send uzume to them. He didn't provide a location because he knew she could pinpoint them on her computer in seconds. Luckily he got one of these things and became somewhat of a friend to matsu.
"Yashima, we're going to have to buy some time so uzume can come here to back us up. So when you fight them don't take any unnecessary risks, I don't want to lose you because of that. I don't want to lose you at all."
He said quietly to yashima so that the sekirei in front of him couldn't hear him. She nodded wordlessly. Ryu watched yashima train and had determined the hammer she used, despite its size was extremely light to her, making it ideal for close range and even mid range attacks.
"That's enough talking, hand over number 16 and we'll be on our way." Said the orange haired sekirei from atop the building she stood on. In response to this, the sekirei behind him hugged him tightly to her.
"Please, don't let them take me." She pleaded.
"You know she does have a name, you know. I'll have to decline I won't hand her over to you if she doesn't want to go." He said in a sharp tone.
What was it with competitors in the sekirei plan constantly referring to the sekirei as if they were only items? He knew that each sekirei was unique. Each was beautiful, interesting, and amazing in their own way. He knew that from first hand experience. How could they treat their own in such a way?
"Fine! Have it your way, take this!" She shouted as she launched two of the razor discs straight at him, only to have the batted aside by yashima's hammer.
"I'm your opponent. Number eighty four yashima, I won't let you harm him!" She called up to them.
"I'm number 101 oriha," said the purple haired girl wielding the discs.
"I'm number 86 katsaguri." She said in a melancholic tone, as she leaped forward and aimed a punch at yashima.
Yashima leapt away from the girl's advances, swinging her hammer with unexpected speeds. It caught her in the stomach sending her whirling into the air. She landed on the ground in a wide stance. Three discs were launched by the other girl's will seemingly, at yashima as she was still in the air. The discs hit the invisible field around her scattering off in different directions. She landed on top of the building with her back to katsaguri. She recovered from yashima's first attack and lunged towards yashima, this time aiming a kick at her back. As she neared yashima, yashima whirled around dodging her attack, and left an opening or ryu.
He wrapped his hands around her ankle throwing her into the side of the building that riha was perched on. She hit the side of the building, the wind being knocked out of her. Out the corner of his eye, ryu saw oriha launch three discs at yashima from behind. It was obvious yashima didn't know they were heading toward her.
"Yashima! Dodge!" Ryu shouted. Yashima turned and saw the discs carrening towards her, she barely got out of the way in time with a precise back flip, one of the discs managed to tear the cloth covering her arm though. Her eyes traced after them, coming in for a second attack.
Yashima had to move rashly and abruptly when she dodged them the first time. There was no way she could avoid all of them...
Before the discs could hit yashima, though, they were struck by something long and fast, they were batted away from her. Yashima turned to see uzume standing on top of the building next to the one oriha stood on. She stood there in her white cloth that covered her essentials but barely. Several white veils fluttered around her waiting to strike. Katsaguri pushed herself up off of the ground where she had fallen.
"Come on, oriha. We're outmatched here, let's retreat for now." She said with a pained expression on her face as she held her side.
"Let's go. You're right." Oriha chimed as she leaped backwards and started jumping between buildings and roof tops to the east, katsaguri behind her.
So, it's out sooner. Maybe shorter, but eh I'm hungry right now and playing video games. So I figured I'd post it. Cast your votes now, and review this, give me feedback. It'd be helpful. So leave a review with suggestions for ryu's harem or PM thanks
