Takiko isn't too thrilled with her new profession at the moment and makes a fuss while trying to avoid her very persistent client. So what else is there to do but scream wildly for Uruki. Uruki arrives, kind of pissed, and beats people up with gusts of wind. Takiko throws herself upon him her and thanks him her for coming when she called (she training him well. Good dog.)
Miss prissy-pants owner of the place is all bitch-bitch for ruining business, and decides she needs to smoke up a bit to calm down. (no really. This woman smokes a lot. Though maybe I only notices it because I live in a city where it's illegal to smoke inside of public buildings/withing 10 meters of some buildings. I feel sheltered all of a sudden.) Takiko and Uruki get plunked back into the holding tank (what? Should I be proficient with the terminology of different rooms in a brothel? It's where all the girls are suck in a room and customers kind of pick out the ones they like. Sick.) where they meet up with a bubbly nosy little girl who says a bunch of stuff but insists on having illegible furigana.
Some idea of dialogue:
Ruude: hey, sup?
Takiko & Uruki: who the hell are you?
Ruude: LET'S BE FRIENDS!
Takiko: *becomes lost in thought* *looks up*
Ruude: URUKI YOU'RE MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER OF ALL. LEIKOMG! *clings*
Uruki: eep.
Takiko: Screw this, I'm going to bed.
Later, once everyone has gone to bed, Takiko is having scary dreams! Oh noes! But of course there's Uruki to wake her up. Takiko throws herself at Uruki once again, because really, what would she do without him to wake her up from her scary dreams, and then make fun of her for it? Uruki feels bad though (kind of) and pets Takiko's pretty hair, until he's she's left in the awkward position of having Takiko fall asleep in his arms. Of course he doesn't really mind though. Because he is just a teenage boy. So they end of sleeping together (but not like that, because it's a room full of other sleeping people as well) all the while being stared at by the weird fangirl from earlier.
The next morning, we finally see Tomite burst in. Thank god. I was missing him. But he's entirely way too happy given the circumstances so Uruki punches him with a “what the hell do you think you're doing, you turd.” However Tomite has clearly been laid recently because he's just a bundle of sunshine (which earns him Miko-Glares of Doom.). And Hatsui is still standing there looking rather lost (“????”).
Tomite then receives another punch in the back of the head, this time from someone on staff, because he's not allowed to be in the Holding Tank (now an official term, because I say so), the stupid boy. Anyway, so the gang gets together for brekkies where we see Hikitsu looking sexy and beautiful and decked out in his spiffy new eye patch. Probably compliments of the establishment. All you people stop complaining about how it came out of nowhere. Clearly he's been dressed in new clothes, and was given an eye patch while he was at it. Hear my logic roar. Anyway. He's holding Namame. Because a chapter is not complete unless Namame is featured in some way.
SO. Breakfast is always fun and Hikitsu steers the conversation away from pointless banter to looking for Inami, which is why they're all there in the first place (gee, I'd nearly forgotten). So being Seishi they decide to sneak around the place. Of course such a large group is no good at sneaking so they are promptly attacked by... a metric ton of hair. Which tries to tie them up until Uruki gives it a much needed haircut with his cutting wind. The hair starts to retreat so Takiko chases after it, realizing large amounts of moving hair is far from normal, and is thus quite possibly the power of a Seishi (I would feel so shafted by Genbu if I got stuck with a power like that). It leads them to... the Uruki fangirl from earlier trying to climb over the wall, until Takiko grabs onto her.
Uruki: Takiko!
Takiko: Ruude?
Ruude: let me go! >:O *angst frump bitch*
Takiko: THAT'S OKAY. I'LL BE FRIENDS WITH YOU NOW SINCE YOU'RE A SEISHI! I'M TAKIKO THE GENBU NO MIKO! AND YOU'RE INAMI RIGHT!!!! :D:D:D:D
Ruude: the hell?
Tomite: OMG FEMALE SEISHI!??!?!
Uruki: what am I then? God.
Hikitsu: What a shitty power.
Ruude: ...a shichikabob...madoo? What are you guys talking about?
Seishi&Miko: OMGANOTHERSEISHIYAY!! BLAHBLAHBLAH!!! <3
Takiko: OKAY LET'S LEAVE NOW!
But of course miss-I-own-all-your-sorry-asses shows up to bust up the party. By telling everyone they're stupid and Ruude is not allowed to leave.
Takiko: UH, NO. SHE'S A SEISHI. SHE'S COMING WITH ME. SCREW OFF. HER ME ROAR.
Missy: pfft. I'LL BEAT YOU WITH A STICK FIRST! Fight me, you stupid Priestess!
Seishi: Woe! Don't hurt our Miko!
Hatsui apparently has some brains though, and throws Takiko her spear (sorry, the name of it has escaped me at the moment) naginata. :D
And the two women fight! Miko vs. Whore! Who will win?! Takiko sees that the Shinzahou on the womans necklace is glowing with the character Inami though.
Takiko's naginata: WHOOSH
Seishi: AH! OUR MIKO IS A KILLER!
-- and slices through part of her clothes, to reveal the character Inami on her stomach.
Everyone: Oh. Look. It's the character Inami. Wait... what? Wasn't Ruude supposed to be Inami ? DURH.
And amidst the confusion Inami takes the opportunity to tie up Takiko with her hair. Woah. Bondage suddenly got even more twisted. And the chapter ends.
