Miya went about her kitchen preparing dinner for tonight. At first she was overwhelmed with it, cooking and cleaning and such. But with the help of seo and her late husband takehito she got used to it.
"We're home miya!" Uzume cheered.
Miya laughed quietly, she certainly enjoyed the sekirei's company uzume was quite the character. She put her usual face on.
"Are you sure this is alright?" Ryu asked, nodding to nanaha who was still sleeping in his arms. He didn't want miya to think he was a player.
"Don't sweat it." Uzume waved her hand dismissively.
"Oh my," miya said holding a hand to her mouth. "What have we here,
ryu-san?" He recognized that sweet smile, if he didn't know better he'd say she was about to unleash those damn masks.
"W-well, she's my." Ryu trailed off thinking of an excuse. "S-she's my cousin, she just moved to the city and I wanted to make sure she had a good start."
Miya looked at him with an intense expression.
"Where am I?" Nanaha asked quietly, opening her eyes, she glanced around taking in her new surroundings. Her stomach began to grumble, she looked down with a slight blush.
"You must be hungry," miya said, ryu set her down on her feet. "Dinner is almost done," miya said in a sweet voice. Nanaha nodded her head slightly keeping her arms in front of her with a submissive look. "Oh, ryu you didn't have anything to bring back?"
Ryu rubbed a hand through his thick hair groaning. "No." He said with a sad and annoyed expression "I thought I'd start looking for a job."
"Ryu-san, I thought we talked about this." Miya said sweetly laughing behind her hand, a hannya mask manifested twice the size from the one before its eyes glowing bright red. Ryu gulped quietly feeling the air around him go cold.
"Y-Yes miya." He nodded his head, agreeing. Better to agree then suffer miya's wrath. With a chuckle miya walked back towards the kitchen glancing back. "We'll talk about living arrangements after dinner."
Ryu and uzume sighed in relief. "So..." Ryu scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Let's get you a change of clothes." Nanaha nodded and followed him to uzume's room.
"Oh, don't worry about that ryu-san I'll take care of it." Miya said.
Ryu looked for a second before shrugging slightly. He left the room heading down the hall and upstairs. He seen kagari coming down the hall, he looked rather tired today. "Hey, kagari. Long night."
Kagari chuckled lightly. "You could say that, do we have more guests?" He asked with no emotion but his gaze being anything but.
"Yeah, sorry about that." Ryu scratched the back of his head with a sheepish look.
"Miya wouldn't have any other way," kagari said. There was a moment of silence and the two shared a nod before going opposite ways.
"Uzume, are you in here-WAH!" Ryu on instinct caught uzume as she dived into him. He didn't expect her to weigh that much, he'd have to remember that.
"I'm not wearing any underwear," uzume said with a smirk. "I think we should take it up to the next level. OW!" Uzume whined rubbing the newly formed lumps on her head.
"Then put some on, now before dinner is finished." A hannya mask glared down on the brunette a chill running down her spine.
"Okay!" She squeaked running into the room. Ryu and miya looked at each other before chuckling.
"She is unique." Ryu said thoughtfully, he was slowly becoming fond of the brown haired sekirei.
"Oh, and your beastly urges." Miya chuckled sweetly, putting a hand over her mouth. "Remember my rules ryu-san." Ryu shrunk down a size as ten masks glared down at him.
"I won't forget miya." He said quickly.
Miya smiled lightly before looking at the bandages. "I'll change your bandages after dinner."
Ryu smiled. So kind he thought, he'd like to accept the offer. But he didn't want to be so much trouble. "You don't have to miya."
"I insist." Miya said with a stern gaze. Ryu sighed in defeat before nodding.
"I have a change of clothes for you." Miya said. "Come with me." Ryu really didn't want to change he was used to his loose outfit. But he wasn't going to argue with her. He just nodded following her downstairs.
"Sorry about all of this." Ryu apologized to kagari. He was now wearing a traditional kimono.
"I only did what miya asked me to do." He replied cooly. They heard the doors slide open.
"Syrus-sama, I'm wearing a kimono," Nanaha said a small blush on her face. She really hoped he liked it.
"It's like two flowers bloomed." Kagari said with a small smile.
"Sorry about taking your kimono," ryu said looking at kagari.
"I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing," he said folding his arms across his chest and leaning against the wall. "It's not mine, it's miya's husband. He passed away."
Ryu looked with empathy. "I'm sorry."
"It's alright, he's passed for a long time now." Miya said with a slightly sad voice. Ryu glanced at nanaha. He noticed she rarely spoke and was obedient. He didn't know if she was afraid or... But she looked cute with her hair down. She blushed staring into his eyes as he looked at her fondly.
Ryu drank his cup of tea, the warm liquid warming his body. He sat at his usual spot with uzume to his left and nanaha at his right. Miya sat at the head of the table looking at kagari thughtfully.
"You're working late tonight?" She asked.
Kagari nodded. "Yeah, they called."
"Well, I'll save you some for when you come back." Miya said kindly.
Ryu didn't say much he was enjoying his meal. Miya was a really good cook, he tried his hand at it and it didn't bold too well.
"Ryu-san, I noticed you had a sword, are you adept?" Miya asked her eyes focusing on him.
"Yeah, I was taught at an early age." He replied. "I need to buy a new one, which reminds me I have to go buy a new one."
"I'll come with you!" Uzume said, she didn't like miya's rules. But she'd follow them out of fear for her life.
"Nanaha, will you come?" Ryu asked looking at her.
She shook her head no. "I'm going to do the dishes." She said in an obedient tone. She quickly put a black card on the table.
"What's that?" Ryu asked, curious.
"A black MBI card, we can buy anything with that!" Uzume exclaimed fisting the air.
"With this thing, you're kidding?" He looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
Ryu looked over his brand new katana. The craftsmanship was exquisite. Unlike his nodachi, he was much more versed with a katana the stronger blade able to withstand his powerful strokes. Uzume walked by his side with a blank expression she glanced over at his sword, squinting her eyes as she seen the glare of the blade. "Can you put that away?"
Ryu raised an eyebrow. "Don't like swords?"
"No, I just like my eyes to work." Uzume quipped.
Ryu let a chuckle escape his lips. He slwly and carefully sheathed the blade setting it on the left side of his hip. Now he could work on recovering fully, and then finding a job he didn't want to be a mooch.
A shrill cry of agony caught his attention, he sprinted as fast as he could toward the noise.
"There he goes again." Uzume sighed running after him, she wouldn't let him go alone.
A girl with light brown hair with blue ribbons woven in and grey eyes. She wore thigh length, tight white gown and black stockings as well as black long gloves trembled violently.
"You were saying, that you will be my sekirei." Junichi said coldly punching her in the ribs. Yashima bit back a hoarse cry blood filling her mouth, she struggled to speak no words could come out. She didn't want this, he wasn't her ashikabi.
"Please!" She begged whimpering in fright.
"You stupid bitch, stop crying and kiss me." Junichi roared clenching a hand on her windpipe to silence her and send her into a fit of gagging and tears. "You won't kiss me I'll just kill you." He raised the shiny seven inch blade to her eyes getting leveled with her slowly inching closer, yashima's eyes got big. Fear, and nothing less consumed her, she was passed the point of crying she was paralyzed, her body trembled as tears continued falling.
The man smirked, he was going to enjoy this. He didn't need her anyways, there were more. They were merely possessions his possessions if he forces them. But this one was too weak, she'd only slow him down. Being the creep he is, he beat her bloody her clothes torn and body covered in cuts and bruises, he beat her into submission now he'd end it."Aye! You again!" Ryu barked.
Junichi sneered his nose up. "It's you again wimp, what are you going to do besides walk away!?" He roared.
"Just let her go junichi." Ryu said lowly.
"My ass," he snarled tossing yashima to the ground hard. "I'm going to kill this bitch." He raised his knife to strike her down ryu buried his foot in junichi's stomach slamming him back into a cement wall.
Yashima coughed violently, whimpering loudly as she felt hatred and fear for the first time. "He won't harm you anymore." His voice was gentle.
yashima looked in his violet irises her body heat rising each passing second. "I take it you're a sekirei?"
Yashima nodded barely. "Will you be my ashikabi? She asked hopefully.
Ryu looked at uzume who had the same smirk on her face like before.
"Well I'm in it to win it. But this game is wrong." He mused over. He gently kissed her lips, yashima moaned quietly feeling her body get hotter and hotter and then it finally burst. Blue wings sprouted from her back surrounding the two of them in a beautiful light.
"I number eighty four, pledge myself you, my ashikabi-sama." Yashima said quietly bowing her head.
Ryu scratched his head slightly. Why did the keep calling him master, they were not his slaves. His ears picked up a groan, he watched junichi for a brief second spit out blood. "Let's just get back, I hope miya doesn't kill me." Ryu said with a sigh. She already had ideas that he had beastly urges, he didn't need that.
I know it's fast. And things may seem rushed or whatever, but I'm tired and I'm eating so yeah. I'm trying to change my style a bit. Thanks to uub and spacebeowlf I think it was for reviewing, and reading. I like the feedback keep it up. And yashima has been winged, I thought it was good. Since it's 1AM here. Should minato be in this? Give me your thoughts. And yashima won't get abused.
Yes a katana! I love katanas I have one myself
