I don't which one is worse... Karei or Uzume, and what was up with that salute? Ryu raked a hand through his hair, wincing abruptly as he felt his finger get snagged in a knot, heaving a breath he yanked it through hearing the familiar sound of his hair splitting and coming out of his scalp. He always kept it u just for the reason it got too wild and tangled, at times he wondered just how and why his hair was so spiky and abundant, although that could have to do with his Sekirei genes. After all they were stronger than humans, so naturally their bodies had to be denser, and their hair more thick and coarse. "That sounds like it hurt really bad." Uzume remarked as she looked at him with slight worry.
"It did.. But it's nothing." Ryu replied, feeling a steady wave of pulsing happiness coming from Uzume from their link. At times he blocked them off, other times he didn't have any restraints, of course he didn't go into their thoughts. Some things were to be left private, and as much as he loved them he did not want to know what went through the deepest parts of their mind; Matsu alone must have been a boatload of crazy and complete perverseness that would make his head spin and make him turn bright red. Using his healing power was also something akin to taboo at least to him, he never wanted to experience that numbing and splitting pain that tore through him like a torrent. But watching Chiho laugh and talk animatedly with Karei and not wheezing or sleeping was worth it and seeing Uzume join in with their conversations was enough to make him smile, and he didn't start bleeding from any body part so that was a plus.
Now came the fun. Starting the move from Maison Izumo to their new residence. He managed to rack up a lot of clothes, aside from his usual outfit it was more for sleep and lounging when he got the chance to do the former. He preferred his loose fitting kimono, obi, and hakama, sure his fashion was over 400 years outdated but he liked to be comfortable and mobile more than anything, and it's what he always wore.
He was certain Ahiko was helping Hari pack her collection of shoes and clothes how one girl could have so many different clothes and shoes was beyond him and Ahiko; so that took care of one problem. The next was Yashima and her mess of a closet hopefully that was cleaned and organized and all of her belongings were packed and she was ready to get moving; he didn't want to be lagging behind just because of one or two of his Sekirei. Toyotama and Yomi wouldn't be much of a problem or Nanaha since they bought very little and more often than not stole his clothes to wear, and lastly there was Miya and Matsu who would both stay at the inn. No hard feelings, it was Miya's inn after all and it was in honor of Takehito, someone he'd never know but knew held great importance in this entire mess, and Matsu just had too much technology to just shut down even if for a second.
"I know it wasn't an easy thing to do Ryu-kun, but thank you." Uzume's voice broke him from his musings, he glanced at her noticing her eyes starting to mist over and glimmer brightly which could only mean on thing. It was the one thing he avoided and never could get used to no matter how hard he tried. She took a deep breath forcing her tears not to fall and gave his hand a small squeeze smiling softly up at him. "Thank you so much for helping Chiho-kun, and healing her back there.. Ever since you've came into her life she's just seemed.. Brighter I can't explain.. But thank you, thank you so much!"
"Please don't cry." Ryu said with a soft sigh, he could deal with her advances, deal with her array of tricks and mischief.. But the minute tears started to fall he was like a deer in headlights. Girls were more emotional than guys, from what he studied, and it made sense in a lot of ways, but he never knew how to comfort someone to that degree. And Sekirei from what he observed were over a thousand times more emotional than a human girl, and that left him completely in the blank with how to deal with their more.. Negative emotions. "And.. There's nothing to thank me for. Chiho-kun is my friend, and I'm glad to help her.. But Karei almost ruined this kimono." He scowled at the memory if it was anyone besides her he would have punched them right in the mouth and subdue them.
"You're so clueless sometimes I swear." Uzume laughed loudly leaning her entire body into his side and arm closing her eyes. "You know sometimes it's a good thing when a girl cries. It means she's happy." She continued, few things could ever get to Ryu and make him react without much caution. The first and more prominent is hospitals and needles, the hours she spent nagging him to go see Chiho before the two were introduced must have been the longest moments in her life, the second was crying or arguing over something trivial. Kami forbid any of them cry he was so awkward hugging them and patting their heads not sure what to say or do, and the third is food and fighting which was always a given. "She didn't mean to be so... Aggressive Karei-chan can get a bit pushy and forward if she really wants something, or wants to accomplish something." She watched him scowl again, grunting quietly, she giggled to herself of course Ryu would focus on the fact she almost tore his shirt.
"And that includes you and her almost squeezing the oxygen from my lungs?" He questioned slightly annoyed. He didn't mind hugs at all, but those two literally squeezed him with as much force as they could muster. Good thing he was half Sekirei otherwise he was sure his intestines would be somewhere in the east at this moment. But he was a little weary on actually hugging Karei since she wasn't his Sekirei and she admittedly had an amazing figure, but since Chiho was scolding them while laughing he gave in and wrapped his arms around both of them. That was the mistake, and both of them seized the moment and wrapped their arms around his neck.
"It's how we say thank you!" Uzume replied back with a small huff and shake of her head. "If Karei-chan was winged by you... I promise you there would be a lot of threesomes." She said in a sultry tone as she imagined just what that would entail. Karei was a lot more flexible than she was and even more daring if it was possible, and they did spend a lot of time teaching each other before they were released. It wasn't so weird considering the shared a room together, and they were curious to the workings of intercourse.
"D-Do I even want to know?" Ryu stuttered almost choking on his spit.
"Another story for another time." Uzume grinned. "And I'll let the story master tell it to you."
"For some reason that doesn't sound very riveting."
"Well, when you spar against Miya on the daily basis I think the world ending would seem completely boring!"
"You are more than welcome to join me at anytime Uzume." Ryu said with a small smirk as he recalled the times they teamed against Miya and both were on their backs.
"No thanks." Uzume said quickly shaking her head. She loved to spar, but going against Miya was like pushing on a mountain. No matter how hard you pushed it wasn't going to budge and you'd tire yourself out before you even got close to moving it.. In this case after seeing Ryu fly head first into the tree or fence a few times and mumble about something incoherent she would spar with Nanaha or Toyotama instead. She sparred with Miya once a long time ago with Ryu and it didn't go over too well, and it was snowing! A loud and voracious growl caught her attention, and from the small blush on his face it came from Ryu. Another one echoed around them and on instinct she brought a hand over her stomach. "We have time to get a snack right?" Her eyes hopeful.
"Yeah, maybe three meals in one. I'm famished." Ryu winced feeling his stomach jump and sink at the thought of food. "There's buffets everywhere let's go to one of those."
"Fine by me."
"I hate packing, it's such a drag.." Toyotama said with a loud sigh as she slipped on one of Ryu's t shirts and jogging pants. Her bath was rather short and she wasn't one to take long baths after washing up and making sure to rinse her hair good she left the bath house shortly followed by Ahiko and the two went back to their respective rooms. However, Toyotama had a big problem. Packing. She didn't have much, but it was just a pain to sort through everything and then pack it.
"Well, we have about half of the things packed." Nanaha chimed in as she folded another stack of shirts, laying them on the futon. She already had most of her belongings packed aside from maybe a book and her spear which couldn't be put in anything she was ready to go. She never asked for or wanted much of anything so her totaling wasn't nearly as much as Toyotama's.
"And you can get it done faster since we're helping." Hari said beaming a brilliant smile at Toyotama. The amazon's eyes softened ever so slightly as she watched Hari begin to talk to Nanaha as they folded the array of shirts and pants and slowly began to work their way onto anything smaller like bras and panties or sleepwear.
"And you don't have a shoe store in your closet like I did." Ahiko said with a laugh recalling how long it took to pack each and every one of Hari's shoes. How that girl had so much she could never begin to guess, and she made the mistake of suggesting to get rid of a few pairs that were just a bit too big for storage with the rest. But that didn't go smoothly and Hari rejected the idea completely, she wasn't going to throw away any shoes or clothes that crammed that closet. Ahiko could only sigh in relief that Ryu got a house with large closets and multiple rooms. "I mean, this is like a walk in the park compared to what I had to suffer, honestly Hari do you need that many shoes?"
"I love those heels!" Hari said with a stern look on her face. "And the three pairs of boots you wanted to throw away."
The four of them broke out into quiet laughter over the recent days' events and their own packing torture. Ahiko wouldn't admit it, but she wanted to get rid of some of those shoes so Hari didn't get any ideas to dress her up, maybe it would have been better to suggest throwing away those short skirts or those tube shirts, but she couldn't do that since she actually liked those shirts since it gave her breathing room. And Hari was going to dress Ahiko u whether she liked it or not! Toyotama was delaying the torture of packing, while the others started yesterday and even two days ago she was enjoying lounging on the couch or sparring with her sisters to even think of packing.
"We're really leaving..." Nanaha said softly as she looked around the room. The same room where she slept at times, where Ryu would scold them for being perverse or at each other's necks, where he'd grin like an idiot so long ago and laugh. She had so many memories at this inn both good and bad, but it didn't change the fact that a part of her was pained that they were leaving. After everything they've been through here, where she found people she could call friends and comrades, she was leaving.
"I know. I'm kind of sad!" Hari exclaimed the emotional atmosphere getting the better of her. "I'm not going to be able talk to Musubi anymore or read Ku-chan a story from a book!" She made fast friends with Musubi and Kusano, the bubbly fist Sekirei was cheerful and just too adorable Hari enjoyed being around her. And Kusano, well she was the youngest of them all and there was a protective side to Hari that always kept her near the young Sekirei, but she did enjoy reading stories and then watching her drift off.
"You saps! It's not like we're going to Saturn." Toyotama said with a loud sigh as she rested her back against the wall. She was happy to be moving out of the inn, she wasn't ignorant she had so many memories here and moments that she wouldn't forget. But Miya and her rules were just too strict she wanted to be able to walk around naked if she desired to and come onto Ryu in the middle of a hallway, and she couldn't do that here at Maison Izumo. She was thankful, even grateful for all the time she spent here, meeting people she could call friends even if at times they pissed her off completely she was still thankful for everything that has happened up to this point. I guess it is a little sad. She admitted to herself quietly, she wouldn't be scolded by Miya anymore for her shameless advances, her and Uzume couldn't run off with Ryu's clothes and butt naked through the inn and to their room with an irate Ryu trailing behind them, only to get whacked by Miya. "Ahiko tell me you're not sad." She darted her eyes to the long haired woman.
"Well..." She sighed softly, hearing a huff come from Toyotama she shook her head leaning back on her elbows. "I've had a lot of fun here, and I'm going to miss Miya-dono..." There wasn't quite someone like Miya. She went to her for advice concerning anything even more intimate aspects of her's and Ryu's relationship and little tips and hints, she was like a mother to her always there to give advice, always there watching over them. Just like Ryu, Miya was always there, even if she couldn't see her. She watched Toyotama scowl at the response and Hari and Nanaha sniff as if they were about to cry right now, she didn't want any tears. "But, it's like Toyotama said we're not moving to Saturn, and the place isn't really far from here we can visit daily. And besides you have to see the house! It's so big!" Ahiko grinned remembering taking the tour.
"I guess you have a point." Nanaha said with a small smile. "We just have to look forward."
"So can all of you stop being a bunch of saps and hurry up!?" Toyotama asked folding her arms under her breasts and sending a scowl their way.
"I don't see you folding!" Ahiko snapped back.
"Yeah, Ahiko-san is right." Nanaha nodded her head once turning her eyes on Toyotama. "You're just sitting over there like a lump on a log!"
"I never!" Toyotama leered at them.
"Well I do!" Ahiko locked eyes with Toyotama both narrowing them as bolts of lightning began to transfer between them.
"Stop it!" Hari said with a firm tone, frowning as she threw down a shirt in front of both of them. Both girls looked in confusion at the article of clothing, and more so that Hari was frowning which she never really did.. Now that they thought about it Hari never frowned at least to a noticeable extent. "Stop your fighting and start folding." Hari said softening her expression into a smile. "We don't want to keep Ryu-kun waiting when he gets back!"
"Yeah he'll get his shorts in a knot." Toyotama snorted. "Kami forbid we take two seconds longer than what was determined."
Another chorus of loud laughter echoed from the room.
I hope Ryu-kun likes this.. Yomi thought as she reclined back on the heels of her feet slightly as she watched one of her TV shows. She was all packed and ready to go, unlike Toyotama she got busy with her cleaning right away. It was one thing to clear everything out, but to actually clean everything and make it look exactly as it did when they moved in that was a lot harder, and she spent an entire day doing that before being flustered by Toyotama. She wasn't sure if she looked too business like wearing a black vest, white dress shirt, dark gray dress pants with lines going down them, and white flats she looked like she was going to a meeting and not on a date.
But Toyotama was certain that Ryu would like this outfit on her, though when she asked what Toyotama herself wore the green haired woman responded with a laugh and sauntered out of the room. Yomi wasn't sure why she began to laugh, she didn't say anything funny or comical but asked a question, then the thought came that Toyotama was completely naked on their dates. That made her blush instantly how could she walked outside stark naked, did that mean Ryu was walking around showing off his body and parts to everyone? No that wasn't him, she was certain that if anyone but them made a move on him it'd end in rejection.
"Yomi-san thanks for your help and Hari's in the kitchen," Miya's voice snapped her from her train of thought, which was a common thing since she moved in here. She wondered just how Miya could move so silently and pop up at times like these. But, she was happy to help around the house especially since she was moving out today, or tonight, she beamed a smile bowing her head.
"I'm happy I could help." Yomi said happily.
"If only Uzume-san and Toyotama-san could have an attitude like that." Miya said with a sigh those she smiled as she continued. "It's a hassle to get them to do the dishes.. So lazy." The two women giggled knowing that was all too true, Uzume spent the majority of her time sleeping and Toyotama wasn't far off considering she watched TV or tore up the yard with Ahiko during a sparring session. Miya slowly calmed down, looking over Yomi and her new outfit. Normally she just wore Ryu's t shirts and shorts around the house, but today she looked like a business woman the only thing she was missing was a briefcase and maybe some glasses. All in all Miya couldn't frown at her choice of dress, it fit Yomi perfectly and accentuated certain parts of her body. "My, my, all dressed up?"
"Yeah..." Yomi began to dig her toe in the ground as she twirled a piece of her hair in her hand, struggling not to blush. "Ryu-kun is going to take me out tonight and I wanted to look nice for him." She didn't tell Miya that she had no clue what to wear and Toyotama helped her pick a few things out and even went out together to buy some things to complete the outfit, nor did she tell Miya about Toyotama's extreme flustering and dirty language. Yomi thought she was going to faint more than once, the first and more defined time was with the cucumber, the next time was with the vest. "Do I... Look nice?" She asked quietly.
"You look very nice." Miya answered with an honest tone a small smile gracing her face, "Ryu-san will be shocked." Miya added with mischief creeping into her violet eyes. Ryu was a bit of a puzzle to put together, while she herself already had good grasp about him and his habits, Yomi didn't and that was understandable, but one thing she knew about Ryu is that he treated all of his Sekirei, including herself, as individuals and equals, and that made her heart flutter more than once. She opened her mouth to continue but shut it, her eyes darting towards the front door as she picked up an unfamiliar ki right on her doorstep, and just as suddenly there was a knock.
"I'll get it." Yomi offered sauntering towards the door, Miya following silently behind her with her hand resting on her bokken. She didn't know of anyone or anything that would come right on her doorstep. No doubt it was a Sekirei judging from the depth and strength of the ki or it was one powerful human, but she was going with the first. She didn't say a word as she watched Yomi open the door with a easy smile on her face that only Yomi could do so easily, she really was a charming and sweet girl. A flash or auburn hair caught her attention, as well as what appeared to be a trident, and Miya had her bokken leaning on her shoulder menacingly.
"Hi!" Yomi greeted. "Um, why are you here?"
The girl in question looked her in the eyes carefully. "I am here for Minato Sahashi." Her voice calm and quiet but holding a confidence in it. Yomi looked back at Miya carefully, slowly the violet haired woman nodded.
"Oh, well.. I think you came at the right time he's here at the moment." Yomi stepped aside offering the girl entrance.
"Thank you very much."
Since he could sense ki, Koto kept his eyes closed as he walked through the city enjoying the cool breeze that rippled through like a wave of relief. Teito was experiencing a heatwave this year, and while he was much more durable than a human he didn't like it when the temperature got above one hundred and two, and would spend his time in the tower training or lounging around. So far they searched over the necessary parts of their location, aside from a few thugs which were easily dispatched there wasn't much going on here. There was a small margin of Sekirei that have yet to be winged, but that didn't stop Minaka in pushing things to continue. That man was the definition of an annoying ass, though he didn't hate him nearly as much as Natsuo there was just something about that man that was just off. That fake and empty smile, the man felt like a black hole.
That brought him to where they were heading now. The south. He was here more times than he could count and had a good idea on how he was going to run into sooner or later, probably sooner actually. Hayato, the stupid little brat that looked at Sekirei as nothing more than toys, it sickened him that his sisters were winged by such a scum, and to add to that Mutsu was aiding him like any Sekirei would. He recalled Karasuba's scathing remarks about the whole bonding experience between Sekirei and Ashikabi, and he had to agree if there were little runts like Hayato running around.
"Stay alert and be mindful." Luna's soft voice reached his ears as she began to take charge. "Hayato doesn't care who he has to step on to get what he wants.. And I don't want your lives on my hands." She continued, there was an honesty in her tone that always sent a chill down his spine. She was so sincere so genuine and honest, she deserved nothing but happiness whether she was a Sekirei or human she deserved only kindness. Taking her advice, he expanded his range to cover the majority of this south sector, instantly he felt dozens of flares in the back of his mind and one big one which could only be Mutsu.
"Yes Luna-sama!" The soldiers said turning their heads to the side and up towards the roofs and peering into the alleys.
The south had to be most urban part of the city and then the east. The south was made up of mostly main streets, side streets, and alleyways that were like a labyrinth and one would get lost if they didn't know where they were going. It was no wonder Hayato and Higa had the most Sekirei out of any player in the game, going off of their locations alone it was favorable since they could corner the unwinged Sekirei. Once that was done, and they got their numbers up it'd only be a matter of trapping them completely and then forcing them to kiss him.
A pang of fury rippled through him, ringing his ears and forcing him to narrow his eyes, it was despicable to force a Sekirei into winging, that was the one thing they waited for their entire life. And while he wasn't winged, and wouldn't be winged that didn't mean he enjoyed watching his siblings forced into horrible relationships. Humans... He growled mentally, recalling how much hatred and disdain Karasuba had in her voice and eyes whenever she spoke of them referring to them as monkeys.
"Koto-kun." He took a silent breath reigning in his anger, he turned his head staring into Luna's light and round orbs. So vibrant and full of life, so much light in them. She noticed the look he got in his eyes as they stared into one another's, she didn't say anything or make any gestures to say that she knew but she could see it, Koto loved her... Or had some affections similar for her. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah just thinking." He replied giving a small smile of assurance. What!? He shouted mentally, his mind feeling like it whacked with her hammer as several ki signatures began to converge on their location and fast. He looked at Luna both of them narrowing their eyes and turning back to the soldiers trailing behind them.
"We've got company!" Koto barked, and as soon as the words left his mouth steam began to rise off of the cement. That's not steam... It looks like steam but it's not.. Which can only mean. He clenched his teeth reaching out for Luna but she was already at his side looking in the opposite direction that he was keeping her focus on the rooftops. And it happened, the sounds of guns blazing flooded his ears as he reached his hand out, and pressed Luna right on his side, the action bringing a blush to her cheeks. Thankful he didn't see it she focused on the rising fog around them, her left hand clenching the hilt of her chain sword, the gun shots continued at break neck speed, and she swore she felt a piece of cement hit her leg and bounce off. As fast as the shots started they ended abruptly.
Fog or mist... This is the work of number 65 Taki... Luna thought with a frown. "They're conceited to think this would work. Honestly."
"How arrogant, to think I am blinded with such a farce!" Koto said with anger mixing in with his tone. "I know you're out there Mutsu.. How about you take this mist down Taki, now." There was silence for his answer and a shuffling of footsteps, the mist didn't lessen any than before, and he felt his anger building up as a thought entered his mind that he didn't want to to entertain. Finally the mist began to slowly recede, the buildings coming back into view as well as the bodies of the soldiers that were with them.
"Ah, I wouldn't expect nothing less from the one known as a demon." Hayato's cheerful voice made both of them snap their eyes to him. As usual he was dressed in an expensive and elaborate white suit with his limo right behind him. On his side first was Mutsu the man's face stoic as he stared down Koto and Luna, the next two on his opposite side were Mitsuki and Taki, and a little ways back was Akitsu looked detached as she always has. Hayato's eyes lingered over Koto for a moment as he seen that vicious glare he darted his eyes to Luna and a small smile graced his face. He had to admit she was extremely pretty and looked delicate, a perfect addition. "You have a choice." He began coolly.
"You have a choice!" Koto snapped, drawing his sword without any hesitation and pointed it towards Hayato. His glare becoming even more intense. "Get the fuck out of our way or I'll kill every last one of your Sekirei and then I'll kill you."
"You porcupine how dare you talk to Hayato-dono like that!" Mitsuki screeched lashing her whips menacingly but Koto didn't even regard her keeping his eyes on Mutsu and Hayato as they both stared him down, one smiling, the other frowning with his hand on the hilt of his sword. From experience Koto knew that he needed to watch out for Mutsu, Taki was more support than anything and Akitsu could combine her abilities with Taki's, and lastly Mitsuki was ranged and had to keep a distance.
"Now, now." Hayato said with a smile as he stepped forward a few paces Mutsu staying at his side. "All I want is the girl beside you, Luna I believe. She'll make a perfect addition to my collection, now hand her over." He glanced at Mutsu the taller Sekirei stepping forward with a frown adorning his features as he kept his hand on his hilt ready to draw in a flash.
"You heard him." Mutsu said tonelessly. "Hand her over."
Luna's eyes widened a fraction as she looked at Hayato with slight disgust and shock. She knew this kid had a lot of balls, he attacked Takami and cause number 108 aka Kusano to lose control of her powers. Not only that but he was known to treat his Sekirei like toys and could be cruel at times, she didn't want to be with him, she absolutely refused. For starters he was just a kid no older than sixteen and was a spoiled little brat who was used to getting his way, he had to have rich parents that pandered to his every whim. Sickening. "I refuse." Luna said with a firm tone as she glared at the young punk. "You're just a little spoiled boy for starters, and secondly I have no interest in anyone that thinks they can treat me as a toy... And if you make one move against us now or actually try to take me I promise you Koto will make due on his word and kill all of your Sekirei. And then Mutsu, you'll be dealing with Karasuba." Seeing the man widen his eyes slightly at the mention of the wolf she smirked mentally, even the First Generation members feared her. "And I will be forced to act."
"What do you know?" Hayato questioned in a haughty manner as he glared at Koto and Luna with hell fire in his eyes, but Koto seen worse glares from Benitsubasa and she was one hundred times more intimidating than this little runt. "I do nothing wrong, it's not against the rules! This is a game and I'm playing to win!" He leered at Luna with a smile extending his arm forward with his hand open as if to welcome her with open arms, like he wasn't a snotty little brat. Luna felt a lump grow in her throat and she took a step back, she didn't want to be winged by this boy, there was something about him that put her off. And more importantly, Koto, she knew what she felt for him... Love. She loved him but couldn't admit it, she took a careful step back but Koto had a hand on her tailbone and a vicious look in his eyes.
"She said no." He said with a dangerously low voice. "Now get the hell out our way!"
"Mutsu get rid of that pest!" Hayato yelled, the older man stepping forward keeping his hand on the hilt of his sword. He didn't agree with Hayato on this matter, trying to wing a member of the Discipline Squad was disastrous, it went beyond the realms of bad. Like Luna mentioned Karasuba would be on the prowl and come right for the mansion and she could kill all of his Sekirei without even breaking a sweat and that's including the ones at the mansion at this moment, he'd have to fight her head to head and while he didn't actively fight, Karasuba was still fighting and her skills no doubt improved. "Bring me Luna!"
"No chance!" Koto yelled as she swung his sword forward with lightning fast speed, the blade arcing through the space between them, saya clashed with steel as Mutsu and Koto locked eyes with each other. Slamming his right foot behind him Koto stabilized his footing and with a heave he pushed Mutsu back, but the earth Sekirei was already on him his saya crashing towards him only to be blocked with the gleaming steel of Koto's sword, and shock swam through his eyes for a moment. "You've got a lot of nerve to challenge and try taking Luna away for that mongrel, Mutsu." Koto stepped forward pressing his sword forward but Mutsu held firm pushing back with equal force, abruptly they broke their clash, running bac at the other as sword clashed with saya in an elaborate and vicious dance, the blade gleamed and the saya arced, clanging as they made contact. "You're not getting Luna no matter what you do. I'm not known as a demon for nothing."
"You're a far cry from the first Demon-Commander." Mutsu grunted as he took his stance. "She was in a different dimension, comparing yourself to her is nothing short of ludicrous.
"True as that may be..." Koto grunted pushing his sword over and up, firing out with his knee landing a solid blow on Mutsu but the older Sekirei was quick and landed a solider blow to his stomach. He took a breath glowering at the gray haired Sekirei, his sword was already in motion as he blocked another brutal strike from Mutsu's saya, "I will make your head roll if you don't cease this."
