So, should ryu wing musubi? Figured I'd update this, ryu maybe a little mean in this chapter but I don't think you can blame him, things get a little shifty here leave a review.

Monkey... Ryu frowned. Why does she call me that? He wondered. It shouldn't have been a big deal, he never let words get to him before. But the way she said it, made him feel beneath her. He slowly walked up the steps of izumo inn grimacing before he opened the door. He really hoped uzume wasn't in her tackle mood.

"Miya-san, I'm home." He called looking around as he took off his shoes nearly jumping three feet when he seen miya standing in the doorway. How does she do that!?

Miya tilted her head to the side with a small smile. "Is everything alright? Ryu-san."

The color drained from his face as several hannyas glowered at him with glowing red eyes. How could she know? He wondered scratching the back of his head with a groan. He wasn't sure how it was going to work out, karasuba was his sekirei in the end. "Hehe, I guess you already know."

Miya sighed quietly relinquishing the visages opening her eyes, they softened. "I don't want you to be around her, ryu. It's for your own good." She said with a sharp tone to her voice.

"I know miya, but I can't keep avoiding her." Ryu said looking at her with a slightly serious face, but he could see how much she disliked it. It was extremely uncomfortable, even without her viseages. "Where is everyone?" He asked off handedly, it was a little too quiet.

"Nanaha-san is doing dishes, and uzume is taking a bath." Miya explained. She laughed quietly when she seen ryu's eyes widen.

"Is she taking one alone?"

Miya nodded.

"Ryu-sama." Yashima's voice broke their silence. She peeked her head around the doorway smiling. However, she began to kick herself for saying sama again. She realized it actually made him really mad.

I don't have time to correct her, especially in front of miya. Don't need her saying anything. He thought smiling softly at yashima. "Well, I'm going to watch TV." Ryu said to which miya nodded leaving the two of them. Yashima felt her stomach twist, she was actually alone with him. She needed to know, and she'd find out tonight.

"I'll accompany you." She said following after him. Ryu just shrugged sitting on the couch turning on the TV.

Miya slid her door open silently closing it. Her eyebrows furrowed, her thoughts a little out of place. She knew what she needed to do, but... I don't know if it's a good time. She was really concerned with ryu, between his concussion and this new information.
It was all a bit much

I have to tell him, tomorrow, I'll tell him tomorrow.

A few hours passed, and night came quickly. It was a colder night, so most of them called it early and went to sleep. Preferring the warmth in their beds. But, not everyone was sleeping. Ryu laid on the couch with yashima in front of him, for whatever reason she insisted on staying with him. Uzume called it in early, and even toyotama did. So it was a little weird, but he didn't really get to spend one on one time with them much.

"Are you awake still yashima?" He asked quietly to which yashima nodded slightly her back snuggled against his torso. Ryu groaned as he got stretching, his back cracked a few times as he got up to his feet. Yashima gasped quietly when he got up feeling the warmth leave. She looked at ryu contemplating internally.

"It's getting late. Let's go to bed." He said turning off the TV. Yashima's eyes widened. It was pitch black save for the lght shining in from the moon. She was never really in the dark, and in truth she was scared. She noticed ryu wasn't afraid and kept gesturing for her to follow, finally she overcame her paralysis and followed after him silently. Ryu walked in front of his door sliding it open, stepping into it. Now they had separate rooms, thanks to miya. But, yashima walked into his room.

Ryu ignored her as he got changed into shorts and a t shirt. He wasn't going to even have sex with her, it wasn't worth missing a meal over. He could control himself, between food and his thoughts he didn't have energy or time for it. He shut the door plopping down on his futon with a low sigh. Sleep. He thought with a small smile.

Yashima laid next to him turning over to look at him, she had a faint blush on her cheeks. Even though she seen him naked in the tub she'd always be shy around her ashikabi. "Ryu-sama...Ah." She covered her mouth when she seen his irises seemed to become piercing.

"Stop it already." He grumbled annoyingly.

"Yes, ryu. I'm sorry." Yashima said sincerely. She felt a pang of worry flow through her as silence overcame them. She began to take off her shirt.

"What the hell are you doing!?" Ryu said in a hushed tone rising over her.

"Y-You want to be one with me." She said in a shaky voice. She never seen him look so mad, at her before. But isn't this what he wanted?
Ryu gritted his teeth. "Get out." He grunted pointing to the door.

Yashima's eyes bucked then widened, he always let her sneak in to sleep with him. Why did he want her to leave? Tears slowly crept into her eyes. Ryu looked at her expectantly, expecting her to actually leave. He'd follow miya's rules, she didn't play around.

"B-But ryu." She nearly whimpered.

He picked her up bridal style grunting quietly. He was tired of these games. He slid his door open dropping her onto the floor. Yashima held back a whimper of pain as she hit the floor ryu pushed her shirt into her chest his gaze never softening. "Now, go to bed. Alone. Yashima." He said slowly before shutting the door, she heard a twist as the door locked.

Yashima clenched her chest tears saturating her eyes. So, ryu did hate her? He just threw her out and didn't say that he loved her like he usually did. She was crushed as she silently rushed to her room tears streaming down her eyes, she closed the door she never felt so ashamed ryu completely rejected her, kicked her away like she was a pest.

She didn't want to cry she always tried to be strong in front of ryu, but she couldn't help but cry.

Ryu slowly slid open his door closing it quietly. The blue folder from earlier in hand. He stayed in his bed for about an hour after yashima left. He didn't know why she just took off her shirt, and normally his hormones kicked his sense away, but not today.

He stopped in front of the hidden door knocking on it quietly. Not all of the information made sense to him. And since she was his sekirei, maybe matsu could help. The door slid open matsu peeking her head out.

"Ryu-tan."

Ryu stepped into the room as she welcomed him in closing the door. He looked around his jaw dropping slightly, he never did get over just how many computers she had, and all of these screens! Her entire room was computer screens. "Matsu-san, I was wondering if you could help?"

"What can matsu do for her ashikabi?" She asked taing a seat in front of her keyboard pushing her glasses up.

"It's this." He handed her the blue folder, she opened up going through it her eyes widening and narrowing several times over. He didn't know if it was good or bad, so he stayed quiet.

"Where did you get this?" She asked.

"Karasuba gave it to me." He said it like it was the most obvious thing.

"Ka-karasuba?" Matsu asked stuttering over her words.

Ryu bit back a groan of annoyance. "Yes, she gave it to me. But some things I couldn't make sense of." Ryu twirled a stray bang with his finger in deep thought.

"Well. The most important piece of information is all of the sekirei listed." Matsu said with a serious stare. She whirled her fingers about her keyboard stopping after a few minutes until the screen looked the same as the picture in the folder.

Ryu was amazed. "How'd you do that?"

Matsu smile closing her eyes. "I am the wisdom sekirei." She stated simply. "I can hack into systems, computers, technology with my mind basically." Matsu said saving a long explanation.

"Mmm.." Ryu nodded with a thoughtful look. "I figured that much, but there's not much else here. I guess she just gave regular info." He reigned with a nod when he seen matsu give him a simple nod affirming his statement. She just likes to mess with me. Ryu thought he could hear karasuba laughing now.

"If I may make a suggestion, you could get the twins. They have whips." Matsu started giggling perversely making groping actions with her hands.

"And, this is where I draw the line. Goodnight." He said getting up and exiting the room, the last, last thing he wanted was miya to just by chance wake up. That'd be bad, very bad for him. Matsu kept giggling as he left, she just enjoyed flustering her ashikabi like that.

Ryu smiled wistfully as he enjoyed his breakfast. He wouldn't be hungry later, and miya didn't whack him. So it was a win, win. His sekirei ate, uzume was the life of the party as usual, karagri laughed along when he felt like it, nanaha was quiet as usual, and yashima was also quiet. Ryu and miya were silent the entire time too wrapped up in their thoughts.

It may hurt, and this could be a mistake, but I have to tell him now. He's not a child anymore. Miya said to herself mentally trying to figure out a way to explain it all, it wasn't going to be easy explaining any of it. And she feared it maybe just too much for ryu at this moment.

But it was her duty to him.

Which thing could she explain first? This was the most difficult thing she's had to do ever. "I'll be right back." Miya said giving kagari a smile, he simply nodded watching miya get up and leave the room.

Ryu looked at kagari with a curious expression. "Is she alright?"

Kagari nodded keeping his face impassive. "Yeah, she just needed to do something." He made up an excuse for why she left, because even he didn't know why she did.

Miya let the water run over her hands and she gazed at it. Could seo have known? If he did he would've told me? Right? Miya frowned rubbing her hands into the towel. But if takehito made him promise not to tell, he wouldn't. Miya put back on her normal face exiting the bathroom.

"Miya-tan, are you going to tell him?" Matsu asked from her door. Miya turned around looking at her with a hard gaze. In honesty she didn't know. "It'd be better to tell him now, before things start to heat up." Matsu said with a serious face.

She didn't know how ryu would react. She just knew it wouldn't be good, how bad, she had yet to find out. She factored in any possibility, which included him leaving the inn. It was a possibility, but she couldn't be mad at him for it, she'd be effected by it too. And besides backing MBI satellites was a cakewalk, she could watch him from above.

Miya sighed quietly. Matsu brought up a good point, the game just began she doubted all of the sekirei were running around, but with minaka you never knew. "You're right, I'm telling him. Alone." Miya's gaze hardened ten times as she locked onto matsu. "Understand?"

"Y-Yes miya-tan!" Matsu cried shrinking down. Miya stifled a giggle covering his mouth.

"Now I must get going before toyotama or uzume take things too far."

Miya walked down the hall swiftly. Matsu laughed quietly.
It's like a soap opera. She quickly sobered up though. For now it was funny, but there was no telling how it would go when ryu found out.

"Toyotama-san." Ryu said with slight fear as she made gripping motions with her hand.

"What's going on in here?" Miya asked a hanna flaring up ebhind her the room itself seemed to shake from the presence of her.

"Toyotama here was trying to have morning fun with ryu." Uzume said with a smirk.

"Really?" Miya's gaze hardened and more viseages took form glaring down at toyotama making her shrink down to tiny proportions.

"N-N-No." Toyotama stuttered.

Miya laughed quietly looking at ryu from the corner of her eye. He looked like he was grasping at the straws, she couldn't blame him. Toyotama for whatever reason paid no heed to her rules, but that changed after the first week, but it still was kinda bad.

"I need to explain something to you ryu." Miya told him. "It's very... Important." Ryu nodded his head standing up straight. Since that one night the two really hadn't been alone together, not that ryu was expecting alonetime with his beautiful landlady, he just noticed whenever the two around kagari always seemed to be around as well. This was the first time since she had gotten that strange fever.

They stood on the back porch away from the eyes and ears of the other's. Save for matsu no one else knew what was about to happen.

"When you're ready." Ryu told miya, she nodded letting out a breath.

"How much do you know about your parents?" She said as she took a seat.

"Not much." Ryu said with a slight frown. Something about the way miya was speaking made him take this a lot more serious, very serious.

"How much did your master tell you about your parents?" She asked.

"Not much, why?" He said as he turned to look at her, puzzled from their topic.

If he was going to participate in the sekirei plan he needed to know the facts. All of them. It looked like the day she had been dreading for a few months finally came.

"What do you know about my parents?" Ryu asked with slightly wide eyes his eyebrow raised. For some reason his stomach began to twist.

"More than you know..." Miya said as she closed the door behind them.

And that's it for this chapter. What will happen now that he's going to learn the truth? If you couldn't tell this takes place long before minato enters the scene. Should ryu wing musubi? And why did yashima do what she did? And yes ryu is acting like a dick, but his character is changing as you can see, so it's for a purpose. And I see someone wants yomi to be winged. I'll consider it, may do it. Leave a review.
