Ryota didn't let up she used the opening to beam forward in the blink of an eye, Toyotama raised her staff blocking her blade just in time before it took off her head. They locked eyes, pushing their weapons against the other in a battle of wills and strength, neither wanted to give in. Toyotama smirked slightly shifting the staff slightly, the blade flew passed screaming in her ear as she deftly evaded the sparks from the clash. Ryota, overbalanced stumbled forward, she quickly changed her grip turning on the balls of her feet as fast as she could. But it wasn't fast enough, Toyotama swung her hips using the added momentum, her staff crashed against her ribs. Ryota bit back a scream of pain, her feet trudging through the cement as she brought herself to a stop. Toyotama narrowed her eyes relaxing into a comfortable stance holding her staff tightly.

Ryota charged forward moving faster than before, Toyotama deftly dodged a wide swipe gritting her teeth as she felt the blade cut across her stomach, she gathered her bearings feeling three more slashes dig into her stomach she held back a cry of pain leaping back. But it was for naught, Ryota closed the distance in a split second slashing her agaiin this time across her breasts, Toyotama narrowed her eyes with speed that bellied Ryota's she swung the staff, slamming it in her side, she heard a strangled gasp escape her opponent, using this time wisely she leapt back putting distance between them. She winced, her fingers tracing each cut left behind on her stomach they weren't too deep, the one on her breasts was shallow it'd heal in a day. She couldn't use distance in her favor since Ryota would just close the gap in a split second, she couldn't guard because she could change the angle of her attack in mid move. She clenched her staff tighter calling on her training from before. She couldn't attack and defend, she'd have to meet the assault and find an opening when one provided itself.

"Not too bad." Ryota said with an evil grin righting herself up from the last attack. "You winded me, I give you credit." She chimed mockingly. The hit hurt a lot more than she expected, if she guarded her side the impact would've lessened to half of what it was, but it was nothing to worry over. As long as she kept this woman at a distance and used her dual blades she had this won. "Don't tell me you're tired." She chortled.

"Not. Even. Close." Toyotama growled launching herself forward with unexpected speed, she raised her staff overhead bringing it down with enough force to split a building. Ryota reacted quickly raising her spear clasped tightly in both hands over head. Their weapons meant, Toyotama gritted her teeth pushing down, Ryota strained slightly, her feet digging into the concrete leaving two holes, she smirked pushing Toyotama upward. She reacted quickly twisting and flipping overhead, Ryota whirled around anticipating the next attack, Toyotama landed quickly pivoting forward her staff whistling through the air, Ryota swung her spear meeting the attack with equal force. Gale force winds kicked up as their attacks meant sending the two women skidding back across the cement coming to a stop. They charged back at each other again moving at speeds that were untraceable by the human eye. To the normal person they were mere blurs and flashes of color as their weapons gleamed, to the trained eye the two were in a deadly dance. Toyotama meant the assualt head on trying to find an opening, Ryota used her superior speed to close the gap and attempt to overwhelm her opponent, they went back and forth racing across the cement in blurs.

Ryu watched the two of them carefully. It was hard to say who held an advantage. Toyotama returned and blocked each attack, Ryota blocked and deflected each move. If going on hits alone he'd have to give it to Ryota, the cuts on Toyotama's stomach were starting to bleed out more. But they were more durable, and Toyotama had a lot more endurance, these cuts wouldn't hinder her. It was nearly a draw unless you factored in the advantage of speed and strength both possessed over the other. "Don't worry." Ahiko brought him out of his trance of watching the deadly dance, he turned to her for a moment. She turned to look at him with a small smile. "Believe in her," she said before turning to look ahead, Ryu didn't respond he looked ahead. He had all the faith in the world for Toyotama and all of his Sekirei, but a battle was determined in an instant. That instant wasn't seen until it was too late.

The two women clashed, staff against blade both pushing forward their teeth grit in determination. Ryota shifted her grip, Toyotama shifted grip as well at the same time twirling her blade. Ryota's eyes widened in shock, the sudden turn causing her weapon to shift just slightly, Toyotama couldn't help but smirk as she whacked the arrogant girl across the temple, Ryota clenched her teeth in pain feeling her body weight shifting. She strained quickly turning her weapon over thrusting it forward, Toyotama could only watch in shock as the shorter blade ripped into her stomach before shifting out as Ryota went flying slamming onto the ground with a loud thud. Toyotama clutched her wound tightly with her hand. blood seeping between her finger tips. She struggled to swallow, her mouth opened wide as she coughed out a handful of blood it splattered across the cement as she collapsed to her knees from the pain. She tensed her body, but that made it worse, she relaxed struggling to gain her breath as her already taxed nervous system was taxed even more pain flooding her receptors spreading out in a split second, her breath hitched and she coughed out another handful of blood gasping slightly.

Ryu struggled to keep himself uninvolved with the fight. He understood the rules. It was one on one, fair and square. And the warning from Ahiko convinced him, but he was grasping at the straws he wanted to do nothing more than jump in. He debated for a second before throwing caution to the wind and taking a step forward but a soft hand stopped him. He turned around to look at Ahiko with a determined face. "Ahiko..." He didn't want to hear her reasoning.

"How do you think she'd feel if you interfered?" She asked furrowing her brows. "You, yourself are a warrior with years of experience, how would you feel?" She questioned again with an edge to her voice. Ryu struggled to compose himself, he wouldn't want somebody to step in. It'd wound his pride, but that didn't matter if he was bleeding out, he knew someone would step in. Even if he asked them to stay back. "Listen..." Ahiko grabbed his cheeks forcing him to look into her eyes. "This is her fight Ryu, not mine, not yours." Ryu clenched his fists taking a few deep breaths.
"Have faith, if you feel this, how do you think she feels?" Ryu's eyes widened at that. He shook his head looking ahead at the battle. Ahiko was right, Toyotama could feel his feelings through the link. He had to have faith.

Ryota staggered up to her feet, her brown eyes piercing through the concrete as they were consumed in anger. She stabbed her spear into the ground righting herself, she puckered her lips before spitting out some blood. She was seeing double at the moment, but her vision and clarity were returning just a few more seconds. She was lucky their weight and weapons were shifted otherwise that blow could've killed her, but it was necessary to deal the severe blow she got in. She took a few breaths, her vision returning in full detail, a small smirk came to her face as she watched Toyotama gasping on her knees, droplets of blood leaving her stomach to splotch the cement. "Alright, enough warm ups. I'm going to finish you." She said with a wider smirk walking towards Toyotama.

"B-Bullshit!" Toyotama spat angrily glaring at the woman in front of her. She had trouble catching her breath, had trouble speaking. Her vision was blurring in and out doubling and tripling, she shook her head to fight off the dizziness but it only made it worse. She couldn't be a sitting duck, no not in front of Ryu! She clenched her teeth stabbing her staff into the ground slowly and drunkenly standing up to her feet before staggering a few steps. She winced feeling the puncture would getting wetter and colder as she began to lose more blood. Ryota smirked again stopping a few feet away from her keeping her nose in the air, which further infuriated Toyotama. "Horses shit too, but they don't brag." She quipped chuckling at her own statement. "It was fun, you gave me a good run, but you're finished now." On cue Himura walked to her side with a satisfied smirk on his face seeing one of Ryu's Sekirei a bloody and exhausted mess.

"Hurry up and do it." Ryota instructed, Himura smirked once more before wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her into a passionate kiss, she deepened the kiss feeling heat surging through her until it concentrated at the back of her neck, white lotus wings flared from her back lighting up the entire walkway in brilliant light. Toyotama sucked in a breath looking behind her wincing again. "R-Ryu!" Toyotama rasped. Ryu didn't hesitate a second, he closed the distance between him and her in a second standing at her side. She puckered her lips, Ryu placed a finger on her chin planting a kiss onto her lips. He could taste her blood but didn't care she deepened the kiss moaning into his mouth as red wings flared from the back of her neck.

"This is my vow, pierce the shackles that fall of on my Ashikabi!" Ryota shouted setting her jaw, holding the same smirk from before, fixing her eyes on Toyotama.

"Shatter the binds that befall on my Ashikabi!" Toyotama shouted narrowing her eyes in concentration, unlike Ryota she didn't smirk, she kept an intense gaze fixated on her opponent.

Energy slowly began to wisp off of their bodies like vapor as a red aura shrouded Toyotama. While a green aura shrouded Ryota. The energy output was so great that small scale winds stetched across the area chipping away at the brick foundations of several buildings nearby. Himura shielded his eyes, the glare even more intense as it reflected and bounced back from his glasses. Ryu covered his eyes slightly with his sleeve managing to see Toyotama's back, her breathing was no longer labored and she stood upright without her staff's assistance. The winds picked up nipping at the concrete poles nearby rattling the street lights, they picked up again tearing a small piece of cement off a nearby rooftop. Toyotama and Ryota widened their eyes at the same time letting out a yell as they closed the gap between each other at untraceable speeds, their eyes locked as their weapons screamed through the air on a crash course for each other. The attacks struck with enough force to obliterate a six stroy building, the cement chipped before completely giving way to the stronger force flying outwards in all directions as small and large projectiles. Toyotama felt her arms beginning to give from the strength behind Ryota's blow.

No! I will not lose! She shouted mentally pushing forward with all of the strength she could muster, she pressed the blade up a little before letting out a scream the same time as Ryota their weapons and attacks clashing at blinding speeds. They landed on opposite sides of each other, Toyotama gasping, panting, struggling to catch her breath. The cuts were beginning to effect her movements, she was dizzy and could barely see straight as darkness crept on the sides of her eyes.

Ryota stood motionless, her eyes shot wide open, fear etching onto her face as her clothes shredded into thousands of tiny pieces revealing her well developed body, she winced coughing up a handful of blood. She dropped to her knees struggling to move but to no avail, she had no strength left. Toyotama slowly turned her head around to look at her still panting one eye shut as she focused on staying conscious. She stabbed her staff into the ground gasping in shock as she watched it slip into two different halves, the top half clattering on the ground noisily as it rolled away from her. A growl escaped her lips as she took heavy steps towards Ryota her eyes hardening as she fixed them on the crest.

"I...Lost." Ryota said in disbelief. She focused on her inner strength pushing it to the surface, but her body didn't respond she collapsed onto her stomach panting rapidly, the exhaustion of the battle and her wounds taking effect. The Norito was only a temporary cure for the pain that enveloped both women. She looked at her spear lying at her side, gripping it tightly in one hand she stabbed it into the ground trying to bring herself upright. she let out a cry of pain collapsing onto her stomach panting wildly.

"Ryota!" Himura yelled running towards her with concern in his eyes kneeling next to her.

Toyotama panted, her lungs were on fire, her muscles screamed for a break. She was near exhaustion but held herself together. She wouldn't look weak in front of Ryu she wouldn't! She staggered forward her body gave out and sent her on a tumble. She closed her eyes, maybe the cold cement would help with her hot body it wasn't her bed but it would do. She never felt the cold hard cement, rather she felt a strong arm, she cracked one eye open spotting Ryu with his arm out catching her fall. She didn't know if she should feel shame or not.

"Looks like my Toyotama won." Ryu said looking at Himura with an impassive look on his face. He smiled softly watching Toyotama slowly gain her bearings. "Leave." He ordered the two if front of him. Himura glared at him gritting his teeth, his eyes flashed with anger. "Bastard! Who do you think you are!?" He spat turning around to face him completely.

"What!?" Toyotama shouted but silenced herself when Ryu put a finger to her ips. There wasn't a reason why she should work herself up over such scum. He was garbage, how fitting that he was kicked into garbage, how he found a Sekirei Ryu would never know. For any of them to be attracted to this moron, only meant that Sekirei were equal morons or could be. Himura opened his mouth to say something.

"LEAVE!" Ryu roared a dark aura forming over him pressing over everything within a five block radius with killing intent. Ahiko's breath hitched as she felt the air weight down on her, it wasn't too bad, well to her at least. Toyotama looked concerned and the two before her were shaking in fright their legs not moving to run away. Ryu narrowed his eyes in on Himura the dark aura intensifying. The glasses wearing man grabbed a hold a of Ryota's arm running as fast as he could away from the three of them. His last thought was this guy is anything but human.
Ryu relinquished his dark aura, concentrating the bulk of his energy and focus into the palm of his right hand setting it just in front of the bloodied and cut up stomach of Toyotama. The green haired woman winced a couple times feeling the cuts thin out. My Toyotama. Ryu's statement rung in her head, it brought her joy so much joy to hear him say that. She was his and only his and she was happy with that. She opened her hand clenching his wrist tightly, Ryu's eyes widened slightly.

"Don't..." She rasped. "I want the scars." Toyotama's eyes fluttered before closing altogether. Ryu shook his head a few times, these girls were going to be the death of him. He healed all of her wounds making sure the blood flow was staunched leaving behind a few small scars that were hardly noticeable. Ahiko smiled at the scene. "I'll carry the bags, you just carry Toyotama."

"You sure?" He asked looking at her arms that were already covered in bags. Ahiko nodded a few times before smiling again looking into his violet irises. The same irises that drew her to him when they were just children. "I'm sure, I didn't get into a fight. So I can manage." She started picking up the disheveled bags two at a time lacing them around her arm by the handles. "See?" Ryu glanced at her for a moment suppressing the urge to laugh. She looked like an ant carrying one huge piece of dirt, but instead of one giant piece the bags were multiple pieces that hid her almost despite her height. Ryu nodded wordlessly turning on his heel and walking back towards the Inn with Toyotama in his arms peacefully and Ahiko carrying dozens of bags talking about their surroundings. Ryu smiled to himself, it was Toyotama's first battle and she'd be asleep until tomorrow from the exhaustion even though he managed to recharge most of her energy.


Minato brought his Sekirei into Matsu's room. She was holding a meeting, Minato had a good heart. She held the meeting in order to warn the rest of her sisters. Minato was extremely worried. He sat on the side of Matsu his body secluding some of the light coming from the computer at his side was Matsu looked attentively as Minato explained to them what was going on. She didn't say anything. Kusano was seated on his lap looking around curiously while Musubi and Tsukiumi stood listening to the explanation.

"So, as you now know, some dangerous Sekireis are out there..." Minato said anxiously.

"He's right." Matsu seconded.

"Safe is better than sorry." Minato started. "So try not to be conspicuous as much as possible, and... So..." He trailed off looking at his two most energetic Sekirei. Tsukiumi clenched her fist confidently with her usual haughty expression. "Ah... Are you listening?" He piped in.

"Despicable! How dare they defile the sacred Sekirei battle!" The water Sekirei shouted as an aura of fire surged around her.

"That person must be strong! I definitely want to fight her!" Musubi said with stars in her eyes as an aura of fire surged around her as well.

"I said it's dangerous..." Minato helplessly waved his hand in front of him trying to calm down his two Sekirei. He still didn't know much about the Sekirei Plan, but he did want to keep them safe. And the best way to do that was to avoid this person and fighting altogether. Kusano looked at her two sisters with fire surging around them, she didn't know exactly what was going on but she knew it was bad. She clenched her fingers letting out a small growl as fire surged around her. "No, Ku-chan! Don't you get fired up too!" Matsu giggled quietly sitting a few inches away with her back turned.

"The master who can't even control his pawns." Matsu said holding back her laughter.

"It's not a laughing matter, is it!?" Minato cut in worriedly. "I'm worried you guys might get hurt or something."

"Well, I don't think you need to worry. If things get bad, we can just run away." Matsu reasoned smoothly pushing up her glasses.

"Matsu-san, you're so irresponsible..." Minato said with exasperation lowering his head. "What would Ryu-san say?

"How could you say that?! As a strategist, I'm..." Matsu paused for a moment as she thought about what her big and sexy Ashikabi would say. Knowing him he'd give her lecture on being so flippant.

Minato stared up at the ceiling pondering on his thoughts and the events of the day so far. Everything was calm, even with the city being seized, but now there was a dangerous Sekirei out there somewhere, of course he was scared, and rightfully worried about his Sekirei. But, he wondered if telling them had the opposite effect, was it even a good thing? Maybe he should've kept it quiet, he brushed the thought aside. It was better to be honest. "Did talking to those two have the opposite effect?"

I know how strong the bond is...

"The bond, huh?" He questioned out loud. He nearly jumped out of his skin when there was light illuminating his darkened room. He glanced upward staring at Tsukiumi for a second, he had a nagging feeling, almost a pull. He wasn't sure why he was feeling this way. "W-What is it?" He exclaimed anxisouly rising up to his feet in an instant taking a cautious step back to see her intentions.

"Art thou worrying about me?" She asked quietly. Minato blinked hard for a moment confused by the question. Rather should she be questioning it? Before he could respond she was upon him his collar grabbed tightly in her hand. He immediately raised his hands up in surrender with a sheepish look on his face. "I'm asking if thou art worried about me?!" She yelled.

"I'm worrying! I'm worrying!"

Tsukiumi felt immediate warmth, for some reason, she didn't know. But she liked it, it never crossed her mind that he'd actually worry over her. "I see..." She said quietly releasing the cloth from her strong hand, she looked away as a hint of red formed on her face. "It's not bad to be worried about by thee..." Minato's eyes blanked out, no they appeared to blank out but there was realization, as he looked at Tsukiumi taking in all of her features. Her long blonde hair, her crystal blue eyes, her well developed, yet modest physique. She wasn't like Musubi, Musubi was like a child. Tsukiumi had an elegance about her. I've never noticed Tsukiumi... Is this beautiful... Minato felt something pull in his stomach a smile tugging at his lips. The water Sekirei glanced to the side to see the ronin staring at her oddly, she wouldn't mind regular staring, but this was a little... Embarrassing. "W-What art thou staring at!?" She exclaimed crossing her arms under her breasts. His heart raced as several emotions stormed through him, his heart hammered with each breath taken in. "I'm sorry!" He sputtered fumbling over his words.

"In any case... There's no need to worry." She smirked confidently. "I am the strongest." She said firmly. I see. This is the same feeling as I felt before. It's the sense of assurance I felt from Musubi-chan. He was snapped back to reality by an irate Tsukiumi. "What art thou laughing at?"

"Can't you at least say I'm smiling, please?"

"At any rate, thou shan't need to worry." Tsukiumi said as she exited the room. Minato inhaled slowly, he was slowly starting to get it. The bond, well some of it.

"Even though they are so different..." He said out loud, he took a stride forward consumed in his thoughts again. They were all so different his Sekirei, but Tsukiumi and Musubi. He dwell on it for a second. Is this because she's also my Sekirei? He asked himself mentally moving his hand for the doorknob, turning it he began to open it when he saw something. It looked like Musubi was there with her trademark smile, but her eyes were different. He closed the door, I just had the funniest dream. He opened the door again, wasn't dreaming? "Ah, Minato-san." He exclaimed in shock dropping to the floor with his arm raised defensively. "M-Musubi-chan!?"

"Yes?"

"How long have you been there?"

"I just got here." She replied. Her eyes seemed different than before, they still held the same light and boldness. But there was something else there, a knowing gaze, experience. "I just got here. Dinner is ready so I came to get you."

"Ah... I see..."

He made his way out of his room, the entire time a look of bafflement and shock on his face. He lurched forward down the stairs his arms flailing. Musubi walked behind him with her hands cupped in front of her legs with the same smile on her face. "I didn't do anything to hide..." He paused. "No I didn't." Matsu giggled from the base of the stairs watching her Ashikabi squirm. "A soap opera, soap opera..." A dark aura flared around Musubi as a visage of a large black bear loomed over her it's glowing red eyes and claws piercing down on her. She let out a petrified scream. Minato froze.

"The hairs just stood up on the back of my neck..." He said turning around. Musubi blinked twice like she sneezed or something while Matsu hid in the corner. Dark... Something dark and vicious was just there...

"Is it about time for dinner?" A voice asked from behind the wisdom Sekirei breaking her from her trance of fear. Matsu turned around looking at Uzume with a questionable gaze. "Oh, Uzume-tan, when did you get back?"

"Just a while ago." She answered vaguely walking forward with a long stride stepping passed her. Matsu looked at her curisouly, she wasn't the strongest Sekirei, but she made up for that. She could read a person and tell if they were lying, she couldn't see anything on the surface, but her sixth sense told her to stay sharp. "You've been out often recently."

"My jobs keep me busy." She answered quickly with a wide grin turning on her heel and stepping down the hall. "I'm so hungry! What's for dinner today?" Matsu held a steady gaze on her, she didn't notice at first, it'd be hard to notice. But just on the inside of her knee, her paints were stained with a deep red, and she was walking with a slight limp. Blood? She thought her gaze darkening. She waited until Uzume was out of sight to trail after, she stopped at the corner peeking as she told Miya something continuing on her way.

She was going to take a bath.

Matsu hastened her footsteps being sure to stay quiet.


"I can walk fine." Toyotama insisted as she fought in vain to get off of Ryu's back. She didn't want to be carried, she was strong enough to walk on her own. It didn't make it any better when she was so drained all of her attempts to fight out of it were done before she even got a chance to get started. But she couldn't complain about being so close to him.

"I know, but you're staying put." Ryu said firmly not in the mood for her arguments. She can be tough all she wants, but even she couldn't walk after a battle like that, her first one. He wasn't going to burst her bubble, but she was going to sit still. Ahiko looked on with amusement at the two bantering.

"You did really well." Ahiko said staring Toyotama in the eye. There was no sarcasm or insults on her tongue just slight admiration. She understood how important the battle was, she didn't know much about this plan, but the battle was sacred or something of that sort. So she took it serious. But for her first fight, Toyotama did well, better than most. Toyotama looked at her confused for a moment. She couldn't hear any sarcasm coming from her fellow sister, but didn't they hate each other? They did argue, Toyotama sighed mentally smiling slightly.

"Thanks..." She mumbled resting her face on Ryu's back. Ahiko nodded in response. Toyotama was a prideful person, she could respect that. She took her compliment to heart, but wouldn't admit it or show it. Ryu smiled despite himself, these two were finally getting along. He couldn't take sides, no not unless he wanted another Yashima. One was enough. It didn't help that Ahiko instigated the impulsive Sekirei. But in the same light it could b said Toyotama needed to reign in her anger better. They turned a corner, the Inn coming into view. It was the largest building on the block, it still amazed Ryu even now. "I am going to take a nice hot bath." Toyotama said with a smile jumping down from his back grimacing as her entire body was lit up with pain.

"I'll join you." Ahiko said as she stepped into the front hall taking off her shoes before striding forward. Toyotama slowly made her way in ignoring Ryu's knowing gaze, he was right, but she wasn't going to admit it. She took off her shoes heading down the hall straight for the bath house. Ryu stared at her for a moment before he felt something tap his shoulder.

"Oh, Ahiko." He said slightly surprised.

She smiled up at him giving him a quick peck on the lips before Miya came along. "Thanks for taking me shopping, I didn't have any clothes that fit." She said with a grateful smile. Ryu could have easily said no, but he went with, he paid for her clothes. The least she could do is thank him, but even that may be a little too much for him. Ryu just did things sometimes without reason. "Welcome." Ryu said with a small grin that he fought to wipe off but failed, it was hard being in front of Ahiko. Her energetic personality and smile made it very difficult. Ahiko glanced around before giving him another quick peck. "I'm going to take these bags to my room and head into the bath. Maybe I'll convince Miya to allow more than kissing." She looked at the ceiling with longing in her eyes.

Ryu sweat dropped at her statement. "When you do that, let me know." He said with little emotion. Miya change her rules, that was a far cry from anything in his lifetime. The only way she'd change it is if she charged an extra tax. He shook his head laughing quietly. Ahiko pouted puffing her cheeks out. "I'll do it then we can kiss all the time." She said happily walking off down into the main foyer towards the kitchen.

Ryu smiled as he watched her walk away. As many questions as Ahiko brought, she brought him one thing he thought he lost. Sanity. He was glad Ahiko was his Sekirei, no his lifetime friend. She'd keep him grounded, between the headache known as Yashima and the great wall of Toyotama he was sure he has a few screws loose. He turned around feeling someone tap his shoulder, he seen big gray eyes. He sighed mentally, it was Yashima. He hoped she wouldn't be too much of an issue today. "Welcome back, Ryu." She said happily.

"Hello Yashima-chan." He said softly looking at her for a moment. She was his smallest and most fragile Sekirei, emotionally and physically. She was frail, cried easily, and easily shook under his gaze. It bothered him, she needed a little more backbone. She was his shortest and most petite Sekirei, he scanned her body quickly noting not to have a kid with her anytime soon. "Let's go and get ready for dinner." Yashima brightened up.

"Okay!" She bounced excitedly with each step. She was happy to have her Ryu back. She never wanted him to leave like he did months ago, she cried and cried, cried until her eyes burned and her little nose was red. She still had that fear, he'd leave, but kept it to herself. He'd no doubt get mad if she brought it up, he may even leave. That brought a chill to heart that caused her to shudder. She pushed the thoughts away following after him. Ryu caught a glimpse of Matsu prowling around the house, he raised an eyebrow at her behavior and didn't brush it off like he normally would. What has her so amped up? "Quiet down." Ryu muttered wishing he could take Yashima out back and smack her around during their spar, hoesntly she was ridiculous a and a burden more than anything.
