Finding out she's a Sekirei! And things get... Interesting!

As Uzume started to wash up, she spotted the mark on the back of Musubi's neck. "Oh! That's a Sekirei Crest, isn't it?" she asked excitedly, pointing at it. "You're a Sekirei, right?"

"Huh?" Musubi blinked, looking up at Uzume, Miya pretending not to notice as Minato stiffened and turned to look towards Uzume.

"Sekirei? What do you know about that?" he questioned.

Uzume turned around and showed the back of her own neck. "See? Me too, me too," she explained. Sure enough, there was the Sekirei Crest, plain as day, in the same place.

"...oh, that's interesting," Minato said slowly, now slightly on edge, given he had only just recently been thrust into this world. Of course, Miya ending up as a Sex Genie had also been a curve ball, but Musubi's earlier wish had done wonders in helping him take that in stride.

"..." Musubi stiffened, before, without warning, she lunged for Uzume, who yelped, and dodged the fist she had aimed for her, water splashing everywhere. Minato yelped and flinched away from the fight, accidentally crushing Miya slightly against the wall with his body. Not that this hurt her at all.

Miya sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "...Master, please move... I have a fight to break up..." she told him quietly, more annoyed than anything.

"Yes, please do!" Minato yelped, moving aside, forgetting in the moment that all he really had to do was call Musubi off. Hey, he was new to the whole Sekirei business, sue him!

Meanwhile, Uzume was still dodging Musubi's focused punches, even as one of them cracked the tile wall. "Whoa, whoa, time out!" Uzume protested, trying to wave her hands placatingly.

"How exciting!" Musubi stated cheerfully, putting her dukes up again. "I'm Musubi, Sekirei #88, a Fist Type! I'm a little new to this, but even so, here I go!"

"W-wait!" Uzume yelped as Musubi rushed her again, before looking towards Minato, about to try to tell him to call her off.

Before she got the chance though, Miya had sprung into action, leaping between them, and catching Musubi's fist, redirected it with ease, and threw her face first into the wall. Wham! "Ack!" Musubi yelped, shaking the stars she was now seeing off.

"Okay, young lady, listen up! I don't give a damn WHAT beef you have with Uzume, but this inn is neutral ground for any and all conflicts in my rules! Therefore, I will not permit any **** for any reason here, am I understood?" she asked with a smile that fooled absolutely no one. In fact, all three of the others in the room could swear they saw the image of a demonic face hovering behind her.

"Yes Ma'am!" they all said at once, even Minato and Uzume, who hadn't even done anything, and the former of whom could have ordered her to do basically anything with her being his genie.

"Alright then!" Miya chimed, before going to get dressed after drying off. "I suppose I'll get dinner started, and let you two talk it out! And I do mean "talk" as in use your words!" she added, giving Musubi a side eye.

As she exited, Uzume sighed. "That Miya is scary when she's mad," she remarked.

"Y-yeah," Musubi agreed with a shiver. Minato meanwhile suddenly looked a bit thoughtful. Miya didn't seem to question a damn thing about the Sekirei Crest or why Musubi started a fight out of the blue. Did she already know about the Sekirei project? She also made a quick exit, instead of continuing the bath now that the subject was brought up. He made a mental note to ask her later. For now though...

"So... What exactly was that about?" Minato asked Musubi as they returned to the tub.
