Kakashi being a bossy bastard was nothing new. The rest of it, though... Ryouma rubbed his forehead. "Wait, wait. Kakashi muzzled you? And Tsume didn't try to kill him? And--what the hell's she mean about me mounting him?" He had only the vaguest idea what the word even meant. You mounted horses, he was fairly sure, although he'd never personally done it; walking was good enough for any ninja. But he didn't think Kakashi was a horseman, either, and even without horses in the mix that still made no sense.

With Tsume thrown into a patchwork story, lying about happiness, it made even less.
