So here's an update. I didn't expect this to get so many views but I'm at 800+ thanks guys. Here's another one, keep reading. And review, don't forget to vote.
Ryu watched as both of his sekirei landed daintly on the ground, as they were jogging up to him, he rushed forward hugging them both tightly against him.
"I've never been as glad to see anyone as I am to see you both okay, right now." He said in a strained voice.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you." Yashima said in a quiet voice. She felt awkward, she didn't know how to respond to this situation. She loved ryu, but she never seen this side of her ashikabi. He had always been so strong, proud, and confident. Though now it looked like he was going to cry.
Yeah come on, ry ry, we're okay and that's all that matters." Uzume said as she patted ryu on the back. Ryu inhaled.
"Yeah I know... But I don't know, I guess it never hit me until now just how dangerous these fights would be. Yashima, when those discs came back around and were about to hit you, I wasn't fast enough, I was so... Scared. Speaking of which here you go." He said as he shook his head slightly and handed yashima's clothes back to her. Her chest had been exposed after the disc tore her sleeve.
"Good thinking, wouldn't want miya to see her like that." Uzume said with a laugh.
Excuse me, um?" A voice said from behind, ryu turned to see the woman with dark green hair standing there, looking uncomfortable even pensive.
"Ah, sorry about that. I forgot you were standing there, what's your name?" Ryu scratched the back of his head with a sheepish look.
"I'm sekirei number 16 toyotama, and if it's possible I'd like to be your sekirei. You defended me without any thought for your safety, and it's obvious you love your sekireis much more than any ashikabi who uses them only as tools to win a game; and although I like to fight, I think I'd be much happier if I had someone to fight for. I'd like to fight for you." She said holding her red staff tightly, looking at the ground awkwardly.
Her cheeks became flush and she was breathing heavily.
"Oh no, not again! Why me? Ryu thought. He seen this three times before. This girl was reacting to him. He sighed quietly. He wasn't sure what he was going to do. His room was room was the only one that had room for one more tenant without infringing privacy. But he couldn't pick which sekirei get to sleep with him and which one becomes a house guest, he couldn't deal with this right now; he had to figure out just what the hell was going on.
"Yashima, take toyotama to maison izumo while we figure out what to do with her, and this..." He said to his sekirei. Yashima nodded, she was glad to help her ashikabi any way she could; she headed over to toyotama and gestured the taller sekirei to follow her. She started to follow yashima, motioning for her to stop. Ryu stared with a blank expression as she walked back towards him.
"Is there-Mph!" Ryu started to ask but before he could finish toyotama grabbed him pulling him in close, in his alarmed state ryu noted that she was incredibly strong.
Toyotama crashed her lips onto his full on, ryu watched in amazement as red wings surged brightly out of her back. Once they faded she pulled away from him, ignoring the shocked but slightly excited expression on uzume.
"You're a good kisser, you know that? Glad my ashikabi has some experience under his belt." She purred with a wink following after yashima again. Yashima lead the way back to maison izumo, with ryu's newest sekirei.
Ryu stood there, dumstruck for what seemed like an eternity. "I fought, and now this? The question just entered his mind. Uzume snapped her fingers in front of her comatose ashikabi.
"You okay ry ry?" She asked worriedly.
"I feel...Violated." He said bewildered, slightly shocked. His first sekirei giggled putting a strong arm around his waist.
"C'mon, let's finish shopping, you stud. Looks like you've got another mouth to feed." She said, they turned and headed for the store.
They made their way down a dirt path, izumo inn coming into view. It had took them about an hour in total, but uzume didn't mind she'd spend every second with him. He was still surprised, which is saying a lot since ryu never lost his cool. It only happened twice, the first time was when his master gave him a new sword, the other time... About that later.
He walked onto the front of izumo inn, glancing over he noticed toyotama sparring with yashima and nanaha at the same time. He noted she looked to be enjoying the fight as much as they were, if not more. He turned to see miya standing in front of the door to the living room. She did not look happy one bit. Forgot, I have explain why she has a new female tenant, great.
"Hello, ryu, glad to see you're back." She said sweetly, giving her famous hannya stare.
"Uh oh, looks like you're in trouble." Uzume said teasingly snickering at her ashikabi. Ryu scratched the back of his neck sighing.
"Uzume..." Miya turned her attention to the younger sekirei, her mask growing three times in size.
"I-I have to go... Get changed. You know me!" Uzume yelped darting to her room in a few seconds.
"Now miya, before we do anything rash, I didn't mean to wing her. I could move out."
Ryu said, while his head was still on his shoulders, trying to explain as quickly as he could.
"Fufufufu, I'm not mad about that. I'm very upset about this." She said as she stepped to the side to reveal the black sekirei standing in all of her glory. She was taller than most sekirei, she had a glint in her eyes.
"Toyotama, what did you do!?" He called back to his newest sekirei.
"Don't look at me, I keep my distance from her. My stuff is on it's way."
"Hold on miya, I'll take care of this."
Ryu speed walked passed karasuba she followed daintly behind. The grin never leaving her face, oh boy did she have news. She never liked hiroto, but she put up with him. Now she was head of the discipline squad, the damn CEO of trying to get her to emerge with natsuo.
She could care less. An ashikabi, was just a monkey a waste of space. Something to make her stronger and nothing else. That's what she'd think normally, but after browsing through the records something piqued her interest.
It appeared, miya had a destined ashikabi. She must've known it by now, being around him for more than a few weeks. Fro what the black sekirei could tell, ryu for his part was clueless. She was going to drop the bombshell. "Funny seeing you, after you putting a hole through my chest." Ryu admonished.
Karasuba chuckled quietly. "So, you're a swordsman I didn't take you as the sword type."
"You'd be surprised." Ryu folded his arms across his chest, he was uneasy around her.
She closed her eyes before opening them again. She was about to speak when miya voiced her opinion. "You've stayed long enough leave now, karasuba." Her voice was like ice.
Ryu looked to each of them with a confused expression. "You two know each other?"
Karasuba kept her smirk plastered on her face as she stared at miya. "You could say that we're old friends."
"We are not." Miya said coldly, her gaze hardening.
"Am I missing something?" Ryu asked feeling the tension between the two powerful women, frankly he didn't want to be in the middle.
"Looks like you're a part of this game miya." Karasuba chordled with a knowing gaze. She glanced at ryu before walking after him with great speed.
"Ryu, don't let her near you!" Miya warned.
Ryu backed up with a weary look on his face. Karasuba strutted towards him grabbing him by the collar of his kimono. "Be a good ashikabi and kiss me." She went on her tip toes planting a firm and aggressive kiss full on his lips. Ryu muffled protests, karasuba inserted her tongue into his mouth dodging it with his. She moaned silently as she felt her entire body heat up at once, black wings blazed from behind her back. Ryu looked at them with wonder as he melted with the kiss.
"Wah!" Ryu exclaimed after his back slammed into a wooden wall the wind knocked out of him. The commotion attracted his sekirei, seeing their ashikabi fallen they were worried, but seeing miya and karasuba sent fear chlling down their spines.
"How dare you!" Miya roared slamming her arm under karasuba's throat slamming her into the wooden wall of her house, the sheath of her sword resting against the black sekirei's neck.
"What's wrong, mad I got to him first?" The black sekirei sneered. Her eyes widened when she felt the cold steel touch her throat, gulping she felt it shift under the blade's weight. Her anger was replaced with realization. She waited for miya to slice her throat into nothing.
She hit the floor with a thud slowly getting to her feet. "If you ever come here again, your blood will paint the streets." Miya threatened.
Karasuba dusted herself off. She was shaken up, but she knew better than to take on number one. But now she had an ashikabi, and she didn't now she'd have the edge. For now however, she'd back off. "I hope to see you again." Karasuba said to ryu with a wink before leaving.
Why me? Ryu thought with confusion. She just kissed him, how could she? After putting a hole through his chest! He looked to the side, his sekirei were cowering under miya's presence. "Ryu, go and take bath. Dinner will be ready shortly."
"Okay miya..." He wasn't going to argue.
Yay, an update. I was watching the history channel, superhuman. And figured I'd finish this and post it. For those that guessed it good job, to those who wanted there it is, to those who don't like it too bad. Karasuba is part of the harem now, partially lol. To those who read thank you, review as always.
