If I didn't know any better people want ryu to go back to the inn already. Sorry but not just yet. But it'll be soon within the next say twenty chapters just to keep my readers guessing! Yeah I'm mean like that, but for real he'll be coming back soon after something... Happens. Be sure to review although I write because I like writing reviews just make it that much better. And questions if anyone has questions ask them!

Karasuba sat at the table with ryu. She did a look around of his home earlier last night and she couldn't say she wasn't impressed. It was fully furnished and his fridge was fully stocked, he was also a good cook. She looked up from her steaming cup of coffee watching ryu fry up bacon with a calm look on his face. She noted just how at peace he appeared to be. "Where did you learn to cook?"

Ryu looked back from the oven shoving a biscuit into his mouth with a sheepish look on his face. He turned around the moment he put into his mouth, talk about embarrassing, his master taught him manners. Among the many, many lectures.

Speaking of which he'd need to go into his mind scape later today to speak with that man.

"Well, I tried my hand at it when I was younger and living with my master, but it didn't go too well." Ryu laughed sheepishly trying to hide his blush. "I guess a six year old shouldn't try huh?"

Karasuba snickered quietly she could see ryu trying to cook at six years old and setting the house on fire. "But, when I moved to the city I got a cookbook and taught myself through a lot of trail and error..." Ryu trailed off remembering one incident where he was covered from head to toe in some weird spicy sauce that got in his eyes. Stumbling around his old apartment like a drunk must've been comical if anyone seen him. "It was worth it though, no I can make whatever I want and don't have to wait in lines."

"Lines?" Karasuba asked a little confused.

Ryu nodded almost done with the breakfast setting some things down before continuing. "Yeah. Lines. I hate having to stand there and wait, and then people are on their cell phones. It's such a pain in the ass and I'm hungry." He said with a casual shrug.

"I see." Karasuba nodded her head. She never had to worry too much about crowds or lines since everyone got out of her way fearing what would happen if they didn't.

"And, miya taught me a few things too, it really helped." He said with a small smile sitting down at the table with enough food to feed an army. He started digging in he needed nourishment after going ten rounds with karasuba. She sat there looking at him slightly dumbfounded, ryu felt her eyes boring into him, he raised his head with a puzzled expression on his face. "Are you okay? I something wrong? Wrong with the food?" He asked.

"No, the food is great." Karasuba replied, she couldn't deny that much. "I'm just a little surprised that you made all of this food." She nodded to the bowls filled up with eggs, bacon, and sausages.

Ryu was a little more than confused with karasuba's statement. "I usually eat this much." He shrugged shoving a spoonful of eggs into his mouth. "You sekirei, you guys eat a lot too." He said with an expectant look on his face. Even yashima as short and small as she was ate enough for four people.

"Yes we do." Karasuba replied with a small nod taking a sip of coffee. "But, humans don't eat such large proportions." From what she knew humans couldn't this much they'd either vomit or need their stomach pumped. No wonder they were so weak.

Ryu was reminded of his lineage but stuffed the feelings before they even surfaced. Then he'd think about his sekirei and how hurt they were, and he just didn't want to deal with it right now. "I do spend a lot of time training." He said with a small smile. "So, I need to eat more than the average person. And we did just get done going twenty rounds." He blushed slightly when he seen the small smirk on her face.

"We can go another ten after breakfast..." Karasuba purred letting the thought hang in there for a moment. Ryu thought about it, he did feel a little bad she was his first and the others weren't, but it was a lot better to have one on one time with karasuba. For whatever reason he wanted to stay with her.

"Would... You like to?" Ryu asked blushing slightly. Karasuba was very vocal in the midst of it all it was a good thing he sound proofed the walls. He'd do it again, as long as she was okay with it.

"Hmm..." Karasuba tapped her chin with a small smile. Ryu was just had an innocence about him that she couldn't quite place. But it made him somewhat adorable in her eyes. He's way above average I wouldn't mind going again. Though she wouldn't say it out loud ryu did something to her that no one else could, he made her so warm, so wet, made her core burn with extreme heat that left her nearly quivering in pleasure. "Yes, after we eat." She said with a small smirk seeing him blush again. "Don't be a prude."

Ryu shook his head a few times scowling at her. "It's not that." He said defensively. Looking away from her so she didn't see his red face. "It's just that you're..." He thought of a few words but it just wouldn't do her any justice. "You're so hot, and I'm... Shy in front of you."

Karasuba smiled inwardly. She was right he did have such an innocence. She was quite the woman and nobody could handle her. Minaka tried to have that homo natsuo wing her, although they shared similar interests he had nothing on ryu. And she did want to feel him inside of her eventually, but that wouldn't happen. Then ryu came and it's been a roller coaster since. "You don't have to be ashamed or hide anything." She said in a soft voice, ryu's eyes widened and his cheeks began to burn. He never heard her speak in such a gentle tone before and that look in her eyes. "We are bonded as sekirei and ashikabi, I accept everything about you." She said quietly. "But, I swear if you die and it's not by MY hands I'll hunt you in the afterlife and kill you there!"

Ryu smiled lightly. He could always count on her not to make things into a mushy, romantic thing. "Thank you, karasuba." Ryu said quietly stacking the dirty dishes and putting them into the sink. "I never thought I'd hear you say that." Ryu continued running water over the glass humming quietly to himself. "I have no intention of dying, so don't worry you'll get your chance." He sent a smile her way that almost made her smile back but she composed herself nodding her head slowly.

You idiot she thought standing up out of her seat walking towards ryu who had his back turned once again. "R-yu-kun." She purred. Ryu turned around to see what she wanted, karasuba pounced on him crashing her lips into his ryu flailed his arms a few plates and bowls fell to the floor shattering upon contact. Karasuba didn't care though as she began to deepen her kiss wrapping her arms around his neck. She had been away from ryu long enough, it was time to make up for all of that lost time.


Uzume leapt from rooftop to rooftop moving an nearly inhuman speeds. She was clothed in her white veils in case she had to fight, though she wanted to avoid that at all costs.

The news report from earlier jolted her nerves a little. She didn't know if ryu was alright or badly hurt, she couldn't feel much through their bond as if it was being blocked. But that couldn't be the case the bond was absolute what each of them felt the other would.

To be safe she left the inn a little over two hours ago and searched the east side of the city but came up with no luck in finding her ashikabi. It was still the first stage and a good bit of time needed to pass until things got crazy so she didn't have to worry about sekirei coming from out of no where and attacking.

She tried to get yashima to come with but it seemed the sekirei was just too hurt and distraught over ryu leaving to be able to do anything. She didn't push the problem if yashima didn't want to help search she didn't have to. And since toyotama and nanaha were busy training with miya it was just up to uzume.

But he is the ashikabi of karasuba. And she wouldn't let anything happen to less she lose her own life. Uzume thought grimacing slightly. Karasuba alone with her ryu!? She didn't know if he'd ever be the same. She didn't doubt karasuba would just kill him given her reputation and attitude it wouldn't be hard not to overlook that possibility.

But she was still active so ryu was alive. But where, she didn't have the time or energy to search the entire city and didn't want to have a run in with enemy sekirei.

She was now back in the northern part of the city breathing lightly as she tried to catch her breath. She spent hours looking, she couldn't help but feel down with the entire situation. It seemed as though ryu wouldn't be found until he wanted to be. But she couldn't live with that, they were bonded and this time apart was killing her. What just made him up and leave like that? Her mind wandered as she closed in on izumo inn just a few houses away slowing her pace.

It was unusual... Ryu never yelled at them, but the way he just raised his voice at nanaha, and them in tow was heartbreaking and shocking. It was like he changed from the kind, sweet man she chose to be her ashikabi into a cold and jaded man. He didn't even look back to see if they were okay, he didn't comfort yashima when she was crying for him not to go. It was a sad sight yashima begged him not to go, but he just kept on walking.

But we are still bonded. She thought with a small smile feeling her body get hotter from the thought. She could feel it deep within her, more than anything she was thankful for that.

"Any luck?" Kagari asked leaning against the front door frame as uzume landed on the ground walking towards him.

"No." She responded sadly.

Where could ryu have went!? His sekirei need him here... What is he thinking? Kagari thought shaking his head slightly. He couldn't believe that someone who saved two sekirei would just leave them behind without even sparing a glance back. It was the coldest thing ryu could've done. Kagari wasn't there to see it personally since he went to work shortly after he was done with dinner, when he came home everything was just... Bad. Yashima was balling her eyes out, nanaha was crying, toyotama was a mixture of emotions, and uzume was just silent. "I'm sure he'll come back when he's ready." Kagari said trying to comfort uzume.

She smiled sadly nodding her head. "I know I just miss him." She said quietly walking into the house.


Karasuba had never felt more vital than now. She could feel ryu's warm semen crawling into every corner and crack there was filling it up with blissful joy. She clenched the bed sheets as she was about to hit her climax biting into his shoulder as they both released ryu silently groaning as he felt the release.

She didn't want this to end, but unfortunately all good things must come to an end. This was no exception. Soon things were going to heat up in the sekirei plan and she'd be on duty almost all day every day. Which she didn't mind, but she knew ryu wouldn't join MBI. He was just that kind of man did things on his own time, his way.

But it was fun while it lasted. She'd look forward to meeting him in battle.

And I'll end it here. I have a poll up I found the time finally. I know must of them have an ashikabi but's it's a poll so just vote! I see people want ryu to return to the inn and some think he's an ass, well my objective has been completed. Leave a review and give me feedback please I MEAN IT! So go to that little box at the bottom and write down your thoughts k thanks!
