Amami nodded at the idea of sharing the bottle of Sake. She didn't fancy herself a drinker, not anymore, but she'd been in a bad place for awhile after India, so she could hold her liquor. She could enjoy quality Sake in this setting, and what better way to celebrate having a new roommate? She sat on the couch next to Mao and said "The bed is pretty big so we can share. After all, we've got the same body composition so whose shy?" She giggled at that before adding "I'll chip in too for the next bottle, since I'll probably take some of it too!" Amami was much more relaxed now that she was at her home, and she only too happy to volunteer to get more Sake.

Kasumi

Kasumi nodded slightly and followed Amane to the room, looking over it and nodding. Offhandedly, Kasumi commented "It is much better than the rooftop I typically sleep on." Her reaction was growing stronger, but for now she would try to suppress it. She carefully set her axe against a wall and selected the heaviest looking box, hefting it with little apparent effort and carrying it out of the room, setting it out of the way. She then added with a short bow "I thank you for your great hospitality." However, Kasumi became aware of something. She heard footsteps, and the gait sounded exactly like the one of the Sekirei that had been chasing her too long. Her eyes widened and she grabbed her axe, however her body didn't seem to get ready for battle, as she felt weak in the knees. She knew why, and she'd hoped to take it slow, but that was no longer an option. She grabbed Amane and quickly walked back out to the grounds.

Standing there was Kumiko, now with her Ashikabi, who greeted "Hello. This is my Sekirei Kumiko, I'm sure your Sekirei remembers her. We've come to challenge you to a formal duel." Kumiko, for now, wasn't shooting but that didn't decrease Kasumi's worry. She knew what she had to do, and turned to face Amane, saying "I'm sorry about this, Ashikabi-sama." With that, she leaned in and pressed her lips to the Shrine Maiden's own, and within nanoseconds Kasumi's wings of light burst into reality, bright blue behind her with an undertone of steel grey. Then she turned to face the other Sekirei, and charged, shouting her Norito as she went. "[b]By the strength of my pledge, my Ashikabi's burdens will be split![/b]" A mighty strike followed, and Kumiko was just able to dodge it. She was, but her bow wasn't. The Sekirei had used it to block instinctively, as it was normally indestructible like most Sekirei weapons. However, empowered by her Norito, Kumiko had sliced through it. The enemy Sekirei and her Ashikabi seemed surprised by this development, and Kumiko's Ashikabi said hurriedly "Let's get outta here!" Kumiko readied herself to continue the fight, but Kumiko grabbed her Ashikabi and jumped away. Kumiko sighed and locked her axe back in, turning to face her own Ashikabi and bowing slightly, saying "I am Sekirei number 46, Kasumi, and I am yours now and forever Ashikabi-sama. Simply request something and I will make it reality."
