Yomi and beni will be in ryu's harem as a head's up. But the story is much too young still. Leave a review it adds the sugar to my coffee ^_^ Should musubi be a part of his harem? I wasn't sure how to pull this one off, I may go back and edit later on not. But read, review, and leave your thoughts in the review.
This was the moment she had been dreading, but it would come out sooner or later. "Ryu."
He looked at her with a serious expression knowing something was very wrong. "My parents, did you know them?" He asked quickly.
Miya sighed mentally. "Yes."
"Great." Ryu smiled folding his arms over his chest. "I was always curious, so please tell me." Miya noted there was almost a childish to him.
"I am your mother, and your father was takehito." Miya said keeping her eyes fixated on ryu's.
"What..." He asked quietly, his eyes widening as reality just hit him in the face. "Come again?"
"It was a secret." Miya said keeping her head up though she wanted to lower it. "It's the truth."
Ryu smiled, but it wasn't a happy smile. "So, you're my mom, and sekirei?" He blanched. "That is so sick!" He exclaimed gritting his teeth in anger.
"Wait, just let me finish-" miya began but was cut off by ryu.
"So all of this time... Why didn't you tell me!? I grew up not knowing, when this whole time I could've." He gripped handfuls of hair groaning in despair. So many questions popped into his mind like why didn't she come to look for him after takehito die, why wasn't he ever told, why did she wait this long... He began to get overwhelmed and that turned to anger.
"This is ridiculous."
Miya's eyes widened seeing how mad ryu was. "Wait, we're your biological parents, ryu. Let me explain. It was for the best." She said quickly with worry in her voice.
Ryu just shook his head. That's all he could do, this was a bombshell, several followed after meeting uzume, but this was the grand daddy of them all. He wanted to vomit, he felt so confused, and lost, even betrayed. "You couldn't even tell me..." He said lowly lowering his head his bangs hiding his eyes. "This entire time..."
"It was for your own good." Miya said with furrowed brows. "If minaka found out, you'd have been nothing but an experiment. Me and takehito never wanted that." Miya said with a sharp tone of voice.
Ryu would've backed down from her normally. There was an ice to her voice, and for whatever reason he knew she felt what she did was right. That it was justifiable. But this wasn't a normal time! "It wasn't for my own good," Ryu nearly yelled, miya's eyes widened as he walked passed her. He took a deep breath trying to tame his rage. "It wasn't."
"Hey ry ry." Uzume greeted with a grin, but quickly worried when she seen ryu look livid. "What's the matter?" Ryu just glanced at her before walking away headed for their room.
He couldn't take it... This was too much. He needed to think, needed to be alone... Needed his own space.. He felt like he was suffocating.
"Ryu wait!" Toyotama called after him chasing after him with the rest of his sekirei. Toyotama grabbed the sleeve of his kimono trying to stop her but he shrugged her off resulting in the sleeve being torn. She became angry. "What's the matter with you!?"
Ryu slid the door open to his room staying silent as he gathered some of his things putting them in a pile all the while his sekirei surrounding him.
"Ryu-sama." Nanaha said with worry in her eyes.
"I TOLD YOU STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Ryu snapped, nanaha flinched from his tone clenching her chest as tears crept into her eyes.
"You don't have to yell at her." Uzume said defensively putting an arm around nanaha as she was whimpering.
I don't have the energy or the time for this shit. He thought with a scowl.
"I told her multiple times not to call me that yet she still does." Ryu said lightly glaring at the two of them. "And, yashima is no better I said stop. So stop!"
Yashima's eyes saturated with tears as she felt herself shatter under his glare and voice. "I-I-I'm s-s-sorry." She said trying to hold her tears back.
"Just stop it already!" Ryu snapped irritably walking up to his door and shutting it so the others didn't hear him.
Uzume looked at him with worry, yashima and nanaha were nearly crying and toyotama looked angry enough to punch him. "You can talk to us, ryu." She walked towards him wanting to help her ashikabi. She could feel his conflicting emotions it was like a hurricane inside of him. But stopped when he raised his hand in front of him.
He didn't say a word slinging his duffel bag around his shoulder walking towards the door but found he couldn't move as all of his sekirei were holding onto him. He groaned dropping his bag to the ground his glare becoming menacing. "Don't follow me." He said lowly.
"R-Ryu." Yasima said piteously looking up at him with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"I said alone, if you follow me." Ryu didn't want to be mean, but it seemed his sekirei couldn't take a hint. So he'd have to be cold. He ripped yashima's hands off him while pushing the others away. He left his room leaving his shocked, stunned, and hurt sekirei behind.
Ryu didn't spare one glance back to see if they were crying or not. He thought his actions were than justified.
One Week Later
Uzume landed daintly in the front yard of maison izumo followed shortly by toyotama.
"Anything?" Asked kagari from the front door. Uzume and toyotama shook their heads sadly.
"Ugh, ryu's been gone for almost a week now. Where could he be?" Toyotama asked in an exasperated tone. Ryu had disappeared almost a week ago, shortly after miya had called him outside to tell him what she knew about his parents.
"You know you could help look for him too, nanaha." Toyotama said angrily to ryu's second sekirei who was sitting on the front porch in her usual outfit.
"Hey, lay off her. I'm sure she's more worried about him than either of us." Said uzume defensively.
"I'm not worried about ryu, when I last saw him, it was clear he needed to think. I don't know why he left, but I trust him to return when he's ready." Said nanaha quietly. In all honesty she spent two days crying straight.
"But what if he's hurt?" Toyotama asked angrily.
"Don't say that, yashima is bad enough." Uz ume said with a frown. "She hasn't left her room."
"If he was hurt you would know." Miya said as she came out to the front yard to see her other three tenants. She thought about calling seo when ryu had grabbed his blazer, wallet and got on the motorcycle that was given to him taking off for parts unknown, but chose against it.
She looked terrible, she looked like she hadn't slept in days her usual warm demeanor although still there, was replaced by an aura. It wasn't immediately obvious, but her long time tenants could tell right away that something was wrong. Even toyotama and nanaha could tell something was off about her.
Yashima had been in her room since ryu had disappeared balling her eyes out. The general aura around was one of tense apprehension, many of the residents were worried about ryu. The boy had made many friends during his stay there.
Unbeknownst to everyone but miya, sekirei number six homura was out looking for the boy.
Kagari jumped from rooftop to rooftop racing across them, looking for ryu, like he had been for the last few days. The boy was probably his best friend after takami and miya. He didn't know why he left, but he needed to find the boy. He was the closest thing to a guardian ashikabi there was and he made kagari's job considerably easier. People were afraid to hunt unwinged sekirei or forcibly wing them in the north, thanks to the boy.
His legacy as an ashikabi who winged five sekirei, especially the black sekirei due to her overwhelming power had earned him quite the reputation, whether he knew it or not.
Kagari was distracted from his thoughts by the sight of black and white racing below him between buildings. Whoever it was, they were fast.
Almost as fast as him and he was one of the sekirei of them all. He followed the person for a while before deciding to confront the person, he circled around landing in front of the person, they skidded to a stop.
"Oh, hey kagari. How's it going?" Asked ryu breathlessly. Ryu was dressed in a white tank top and black sweat pants. Kagari stood there dumbfounded for almost five minutes. Ryu moved his head to the side slightly furrowing his brows.
"Hello, you okay, kargari-san?" He asked with narrowed eyebrows.
"Where have you been!? How were you managing that speed? You were as fast and as strong as a sekirei from what I saw. What happened to you? Why did you leave?" Kagari asked firing one question after the other.
"Man, calm down. One thing at a time." Ryu said as he approached his friend.
"What happened, man?" Kagari asked incredously.
"That's quite the story. Ah, for another time." Ryu said as he wiped the sweat from his brow. He patted his friend on th shoulder.
"I'll see you around, kagari." He said as he moved to start running again. Homura narrowed his eyes a fireball igniting in his hand.
"Sorry, but I can't let you leave just yet. I promised miya I'd bring you back. Your sekireis need you." He held the fireball up.
"Nice one, homura. Takami sahashi has told me about you. She called me after I left the inn. After swearing me to secrecy that I wouldn't tell her son about her work. We're going to meet for coffee and she's going to tell me about my parents. I need to figure this out for myself first, give my sekirei my love. He said as he put his hand on kagari's arm. Homura gasped as he felt all of his power leave his body and the fireball disappear. He tried his best to re-ignite it to no avail. Ryu turned and ran over to the edge of the building they were on and leaped off the edge to the next building... Kagari watched on as ryu faded from sight.
_
Ryu didn't want to hear about his sekirei. Honestly he didn't care, he had bigger things to worry about. Not girls that flocked with him everywhere and in the end got him in trouble.
He felt a lot better having his own space, not crowded by his sekirei. He didn't need to worry about yashima about to cry over nothing, he gritted his teeth. One day he'd give her a reason if she kept it up.
He glanced back noting kagari wasn't trailing after him, with a sigh he leapt across a rooftop. With one thing in mind.
His coffee date with takami...
And so the chapter ends! Did I gauge yashima's and nanaha's reactions right? Yashima always seemed like that to me, a cry baby. Shouls musubi be a part of his harem? And who do you want to die? I know sounds morbid, but you need some darkness to a story. Yomi, beni, and yukari will be part of his harem, but these three will be at a much later time. So review and give me you thoughts!
