Thank you for your reviews and I apologize for the late update as most of you know thesis writing takes up a lot of time and energy but now that it's nearing it's end I was able to bring this chapter to you thank you for all your support.

Thanks for your reviews as I have gone over them I decided to add some of what you guys suggested. Though with that said I am considering taking Hikari and Hibiki from Seo but as for Matsu and Kazehana I cannot bring myself to have them move from Minato for these reasons.

Matsu is intimidated by Karasuba. I doubt she will warm up to being near Karasuba and in turn Naruto who is at her side most o the time.

Kazehana winged herself to Minato for two reasons. He impressed her with his determination and will which Naruto can do as well but the last reason makes me leave Kazehana with Minato. Kazehana knows that Minato is Minaka's son a few moments after seeing his face clearly. And we all know that she was obsessed with Minaka as she wanted to wing herself to him. Since she can't she goes for his son who resembles him.

I hope you can agree with this for now and as for Miya it is a 50/50 thing for now.

Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 3: Welcome to the Inn

It had been well over three days since Naruto's arrival with his Sekirei at Maison Izumo and things were going as smooth as can be given the tense atmosphere in the inn. Homura was evasive and often gave excuses to leave the inn especially when he encountered Naruto and his Sekirei. Uzume was often asleep or out of Maison Izumo so Naruto couldn't say anything about her given their limited conversations and meetings.

Miya herself though was the odd one out.

As Homura and Uzume would expect they would have thought that she would be the most hostile to the new ashikabi and Sekirei who arrived at Maison Izumo. However to their surprise she was quite amiable though it was mostly towards Naruto and Haihane.

Though with Karasuba as most guessed she was barely on speaking terms with the woman and tension often built up whenever the two were in the same room together it was just a small blessing they were quite willing to ignore each other over dinner.

Miya had recently taken to sparring with Naruto and on occasion Karasuba, though this was quite rare, however this had the effect of unnerving everyone except Naruto seeing as they often come close to having a death match seeing how much bloodlust fills the air whenever the two fought.

Matsu though as Naruto found out was a red-haired woman with a perverted streak. She had introduced herself, with much reluctance, the night he arrived with Karasuba and Haihane though she seemed to be fearful of the people in the dining room with the exception of Homura and Uzume.

Speaking of Karasuba and Haihane; Haihane was busy setting up the television set she had recently bought and was now making sure it had all the channels she wanted to watch.

Karasuba herself was in the other corner of the room sharpening her katana with a worn cloth that suspiciously looked like the dishrag that Miya kept in the kitchen. Naruto could only suspect that Karasuba did it to push Miya's buttons further.

"Hey Karasuba." Naruto said catching his grey haired Sekirei's attention.

"Hmm?" Karasuba wondered boredly what Naruto wanted as she continued to clean her katana.

"When does the Sekirei plan start? I'm sooo bored." Naruto whined to Karasuba making her chuckle a bit at his childish action.

"Ara? Perhaps you would like for us do something more fun? But you know we have to do it at a love hotel right? Or perhaps your feeling brave and we could always go at it here. Though of course it would piss of Miya." Karasuba teased causing Naruto to blush slightly at her suggestion.

"I didn't mean that!" Naruto rebutted as his blush continued to grow.

"Oh are you saying you don't want me Naruto-kun?" Karasuba asked in a mock sad tone, continuing her teasing of Naruto, as she put down her katana and crawled to Naruto on all fours teasing him with her loosening kimono which seemed to entice Naruto to her lovely figure.

Suddenly as Karasuba was about to crawl entirely onto Naruto's lap a sudden pang of pain hit her as her head throbbed in the sudden pain.

"Need I remind you two that illicit actions are not allowed at my Inn." Miya said with an eery smile, suddenly appearing out of nowhere, with an oni mask suddenly forming behind her causing Naruto and Karasuba some mild discomfort, not out of fear of Miya but of irritation at being interrupted from their 'little' fun. Haihane on the other hand was frightened by Miya's terrifying aura and had moved to try and hide herself behind her newly purchased tv set which was fairly large.

"Hmm what's with the mask Miya-san? Is it an illusion or some sort?" Naruto asked wondering what kind of illusion it was since he couldn't dispel it.

"Ara, I am just a simple landlady I don't know what mask you are speaking of." Miya said as she hid her mouth behind her hand feigning an innocent appearance which was not fooling Naruto and Karasuba one bit at all.

Simple Landlady. Really what kind of landlady could fight on par with them and come out victorious? None except for Miya that is.

"Really? I haven't met any simple landlady who could stop me and Naruto if wanted to go at it. Perhaps we should try harder ne Naruto?" Karasuba said in a sultry tone as she wrapped her hands around Naruto's neck all the while staring at Miya with a 'go ahead and try to separate us' look which made a tick mark appear on Miya's forehead.

"Ara if I didn't know any better it sounds like someone is asking to be thrown out into the street like a dog." Miya said with an obviously strained smile which made Karasuba smirk knowingly.

"Heh I could use a good spar. Do you feel up for it Miya?" Karasuba offered as she stood up, grabbed her katana and pointed her well cleaned katana, which glimmered in the sunlight, at Miya who glared at Karasuba for her actions.

"Hmph! You should be happy I have to prepare lunch soon or I would take up your offer to cut you into pieces." Miya said with an angry huff as she left the room.

"Well it seems like Miya refuses to spar with me. So how about you Naru-chan?" Karasuba asked Naruto as she turned to give him a smile, that was practically dripping with bloodlust, that made Naruto chuckle.

"Sure why not? We have some time to kill after all." Naruto said as he grabbed his own katana and exited the room with Karasuba.

As they were leaving Haihane peaked her head out of the television set she was still hiding behind.

"Are all the monsters gone yet?" she asked the empty room.

"Ara, what was that you said?" Miya said suddenly appearing by the door, with the oni mask appearing behind her, shocking Haihane greatly who merely shook her head negative.

"Are you sure? Well be sure to be down in five minutes unless you want to miss lunch." Miya said as she exited the room leaving a trembling Haihane to her thoughts.

'Is EVERYONE in this place a monster?' Haiahane thought to herself as she looked all over the room for signs of one of the 'monsters'.

With Naruto and Karasuba as they were currently walking through Shinto Teito garnering looks from the onlookers at their outfits.

Karasuba's discipline squad uniform and Naruto's black yukata which he borrowed from Miya when he arrived at Shinto Teito.

"Hmm? Is something wrong Naruto?" Karasuba asked when she saw Naruto suddenly stop walking.

Looking at the general direction where Naruto was staring she saw the prone form of sekirei number 105. Benitsubasa. She was a short woman around Haihane's height she had long pink hair which she kept in a single pig tail on the left side of her head with daisy designed clips. She was wearing the same dark kimono as Karasuba except that she wore shorts underneath the kimono and combat boots.

She was supposed to be one of the members of the discipline squad alongside Karasuba and Haihane. Though now it appeared as if she were merely discarded if her ragged appearance was any indication at all.

"Hey Karasuba do you know who she is? She has the same outfit as you." Naruto asked as he continued to stare at the unconscious form of the pink haired sekirei.

"Yeah her name is Benitsubasa sekirei number one hundred five. She was supposed to be in the discipline squad with me and Haihane. Though with us gone I guess they decided they had no use for her and decided to release her along with the other sekirei." Karasuba answered as she stood beside Naruto.

"Karasuba we'll have to reschedule our spar sometime. Can you bring her with us back to Maison Izumo?" Naruto asked Karasuba who looked reluctant to bring Benitsubasa with them.

She really didn't want to after all she did find Benitsubasa a tad too irritating not to mention with this she won't be getting a good fight today either.

"Fine." Karasuba said resignedly. She did not like to share her ashikabi more than necessary. The reason she allowed Haihane was because she was one of the few people Karasuba got along well enough with despite not showing it.

After a short walk back to Maison Izumo Naruto and Karasuba laid Benitsubasa down in the living room.

"And who would this poor feather be? Have you already lost control of yourself and unleashed your beastly desires on this poor girl?" Miya asked with a teasing tone that made Naruto blush slightly and Karasuba bristle with anger at her words.

"We simply found her unconscious in the park and I assure you we had nothing to do with it. I assume Minaka threw her out since he has no further need for her at this point. Especially since the discipline squad is out two members." Naruto explained to Miya who nodded in agreement.

Minaka was a very fickle person and does things on a whim. However that left everyone to wonder who would be taking over the discipline squad now that Karasuba left along with Haihane and now it seems he had thrown out Benitsubasa. So just who was enforcing the Sekirei plan of Minaka now?

"You are most likely correct in that assumption. After all that man while being smart was never one for rational decisions." Miya said derisively.

"Huh? Where am I?" Benitsubasa asked when she suddenly awoke.

All she remembered last was being tossed out of the MBI and being told she was now a part of the Sekirei plan proper. After which she had passed out on a park bench and only now awoke to find herself comfortably in a house. Had she been winged in her sleep she thought.

"You are in my inn Benitsubasa-san." Miya answered making the pink haired girl turn to face her.

"A-arigato, um how did I get here?" Benitsubasa asked nicely.

"We did." a familiar voice answered her making Benitsubasa turn her head to the other side only to come face to face with Karasuba and her red haired ashikabi.

After Haihane and Karasuba left she had gone to Minaka for answers and had found that they had been winged by the same ashikabi and that he was dissolving the discipline squad now that all the members were missing.

She had been thrown out of MBI afterwards being told to find herself an ashikabi now that she was part of the Sekirei plan.

"Karasuba-sempai! It was horrible! Minaka said he dissolved the discipline squad and that I was now part of the Sekirei plan! Please tell me I was dreaming!" Benitsubasa practically shouted as she turned to face her old superior.

"Yara yara, Beni-chan it isn't a dream at all both me and Haihane winged ourselves to the same ashikabi. As for getting kicked out of MBI and the dissolution of the discipline squad we could all guess that." Karasuba stated bluntly she was not about to sugarcoat the truth after all.

"Ehh then what am I supposed to do now?" Benitsubasa cried out she had wanted nothing more than to wing herself to Natsuo but now that she was thrown out of MBI she couldn't possibly do that now.

"Why don't you stay here for the time being then? After all my late husband never turned anyone in need down so won't you stay here at Maison Izumo for the time being?" Miya offered.

"Fine but i'm leaving as soon as I find my Ashikabi." Benitsubasa stated firmly.

"Ara that's fine with me but while your here at Maison Izumo I will expect you to follow the rules and help out in the household am I clear?" Miya said with a smile, an oni mask appearing once again behind her, as she awaited Benitsubasa's reply.

"H-hai i'll help out just put that thing away!" Benitsubasa freaked out as soon as she saw the creepy oni mask staring at her.

"Ara what mask are you talking about? You sure have an active imagination." Miya said putting her sleeve in front of her mouth to hide the fact she was smiling at how easy it was for her to intimidate her tennants. If only she could do the same to Naruto and Karasuba.

"Never mind that! So where will i be staying in?" Benitsubasa asked. All she wanted to do now was lie down and relax in a nice comfortable setting.

"Please follow me then I'll show you to your room." Miya said as she brought Benitsubasa along with her to show her around the inn.

"Hey Karasuba your not mad are you?" Naruto asked Karasuba who was strangely quiet,except when she was spoken too, the whole time.

"Not really but I could tell she will either react to you or someone else and I really don't want to have to share you more times than necessary." Karasuba said with a worried look on her face.

"You won't have too. I promise I will try not to wing more than necessary. After all I wouldn't like to lose you my black crow." Naruto said as he brought Karasuba into a hug calming her worries.

"Hmm….you still owe me a good fight though." Karasuba said awkwardly ruining the mood slightly making Naruto chuckle.

"Sure, sure i'll give you a fight sometime." Naruto promised with a resigned sigh he really hoped she had forgotten about that.

Deciding now was a good time as any Karasuba turned to face Naruto fully and kissed him on the lips causing her wings to flash behind her.

"Won't you comfort me some more? I'm still feeling insecure you know." Karsuba said with a sultry smirk that belied her goals.

Not allowing Naruto time to reply she grabbed his head pulling him in for a deeper kiss. When they separated there was a trail of saliva linking their mouths together.

Though before Karasuba could go any further Miya suddenly showed up and slammed her customary ladle on top of her head smacking her former subordinate on top of her head making her grab it in pain.

"Yara, yara Miya what's with the ladle? I haven't done anything yet!" Karasuba whined as she rubbed the top of her head.

"Ara didn't I warn you that no illicit actions are permitted in my inn." Miya, who brought out an oni mask out behind her, said as she clutched the ladle in her hands as if it were a weapon.

Naruto just could not catch a break.
