Thought I had dropped this one didn't you? Nope!

Though I will have a message at the for my Sekirei readers at the end of this really, really, really long awaited chapter.

Also I'm alive ,but please don't kill me for being super late on this!

Enjoy!

Every had a moment where former tormentor apologizes to you for all their wrong doings?

A brief moment in where someone stubborn admits that their wrong? Or even a moment were someone you thought you'd never see again in life arrives at your front door unexpectedly?

...Has that all happened to you at the same time?

Well, Minato was sure that tonight brought a milestone of miracles and a series of unexplained events.

He sat patiently at the head of the table with both Toyotama and Ichiya on the right side of him. Both girls had expressions of that of contempt and confusion.

On his left held the three new sekirei that decided to pop into his life for need of protection and a purpose to look for a more appropriate ashikabi. Nahana and Natsu being the only two sekirei not under Higa's flock,but still felt the awkward tension as said former ashikabi if the east sat at the opposite end of Minato.

The only sound being made in the room was that clock ticking letting everyone know the night was still passing them by at a slow rate.

"So...it's good to see you doing well." Minato spoke off handedly trying to break the tension in the room. All the sekirei in the room eyes snapped towards him as if he had grown a second head.

"Is that all you have to say?" They all thought in unison at the over relaxed north ashikabi.

"I could say the same for you, but we both know that's not true right?" Higa spoke. His tone not condescending as it was in the past,but the sarcastic quip made Minato flinch just slightly.

"Straight to business as usual, and here I thought I felt a changed person." Minato shot off with such spit you could feel the heated tension between the two.

"Also you said you came here to apologize right? Well...I don't want it." Minato announced as all around the table slight shrank in the presence of both ashikabis.

Toyotama was the most conflicted as she was torn between comforting her possible new ashikabi, while still in the presences of her previous one. What was she to do if a fight began in the Inn? It wasn't her place to stop it and Higa had perfect opportunity for any type of rev-

"Your sekirei deserve an apology, not me." Minato said interrupting the thoughts swimming through Toyotama's head and causing her eyes to widen at him.

"I...I hated how you treated them like objects, or disposable business partners. I could tell you're different than you once were,but as of now the only ones you need to apologize to are the sekirei that mistreated." Minato finished as most eyes stared at him with either surprised looks or those of longing admiration.

"Heh...always the better man through and through." Higa smiled a bit. Though for those who never saw him smile it was foreign and almost perplexing. Standing up Higa gave the table a glance over before heading towards the front to leave.

"...I'll apologize sincerely when the time is right. " He spoke softly before leaving with a confused Kakizaki, Yashima and Kaie.

Ichiya watched as her ashikabi began to before a gentle hand was laid on her shoulder. She turned to see Toyotama give her a look before nudging her towards the direction of her ashikabi.

"Go." Was all Toyotama can say as she pushed her bestfriend in the direction of the one she truly wanted to be with.

Minato saw this and felt something slightly bitter stir within him. He would never admit it,but even with the sekirei that Higa mistreated...some still truly loved him.

"And yet...I'm still alone, and their gone..."

"AHH!" A rather frustrated and bruised Yomi yelled as her body slammed against another broken down car. Her face caring a fresh black eye and a few bruises as she stared down at the brat of a sekirei.

Sekirei number 13, Amebane.

His smile rather sadistic as he stared upon the frustrated form of Yomi.

"Is the best you got , calamity sekirei?" He questioned teasingly as he through a few shadowed jabs into the air mockingly. Yomi seethed as she gripped the handle of scythe tightly.

"I'LL SHOW YOU BEST YOU FUCKING BRAT!!" She yelled as torrents of sharp wind decimated the area around her.

Their battle attracting more and more attention as the night went on.

Else where a certain duo sat lazily in front of a TV. Well one was sat lazily in front of the tv as the other was on her 6th set of 100 push ups.

"Beni...your giving me a headache watching you." Haihane spoke lazily barely even glancing over at her pink haired companion whose only response was frustrated grunt.

Seizing her last set she stood gracefully to her feet as she stared out her window in contemplation.

"Did you hear about the north losing his sekirei?" Benitsubasa spoke off handedly as Haihane glanced towards her curious.

"Yeah...it's weird. I even heard that some of his sekirei flat out refuse to bonded to him again." Haihane said as she heard rumors throughout MBI tower. Benitsubasa looked over the lights of the city once more before turning in her heel to face her companion once more.

"We should investigate him tomorrow." She said which cause Haihane to look at her in surprise.

"...Why?" She questioned, but she began to see the only emotion her pink headed friend was capable of.

Rage.

"So we can finally teach him a lesson for messing with the discipline squad!!"
