In the big city of Tokyo, Patrick O'Neal had finally been accepted into the University of Tokyo and was trying hard to get the right credentials to work for MBI, one of the largest corporations on the planet. Patrick was a genius when it came to math and science, just a bit socially awkward. For most of his life, he had been teased about a few things about his body, or his appearance. He had large blocky glasses, he was smaller than most of the kids his age, and that was saying something since he was only sixteen, and he wasn't particularly the most attractive guy. Oh, he is also paralyzed from the waist down.

After the excitement of being accepted into The University of Tokyo, he didn't think his day could get any better, until he felt it. A warm feeling that started coursing throughout his body, it was soothing feeling, like it was a warm summer day. His eyes locked on the giant MBI skyscraper, knowing that whatever he was feeling was coming from that building but he wasn't sure what it was. All he knew was that there was something in that building that was making him feel that way, and it was growing stronger.

Karasuba was bored of her confinement of the MBI tower and wanted some action. She needed to shed some blood and sparring against Haihane and Benitsubasa was not meeting that quota; so, when Hiroto Minaka asked her to his office, she could only hope for the best. Maybe a Sekirei had escaped and she had to go take care of the problem, oh one could hope. While she was walking to his office, she knew if she didn't want to do something, she didn't have to. So, if it was something boring, she would probably just ignore it. She got to his overly large door and was about to knock when Takami opened the door first.

"Hello Karasuba, how are you?" She asked. Karasuba just snorted and walked past her, humans were too insignificant for her. The only ones opinion that even mattered to her a little bit was Minaka and that was only because he sometimes gave her fun assignments. When she walked into the room, she saw Minaka in his overly large chair, trying to act like a god.

'What a psycho' Karasuba thought which was a bit ironic.

"Ah! Karasuba, you made it! Well, that's a good thing for you because I think I found a task that you will love. A Yakuza clan is getting a bit too close to us, so I was wondering if you could take care of the problem…" Minaka kept talking, but Karasuba wasn't even listening anymore. Something was reaching out to her, she was feeling warm, it was a feeling she hadn't felt in a long, long time. She was reacting.

'Who could possibly make me react to them?!' Karasuba thought. But what started out as just a warm feeling turned into a blazing inferno in just a few seconds. It must been an incredibly strong Ashikabi for her to feel like this. If she wasted too much time she might burn up. She started to breathe heavily and her knees were getting weak. 'How can this be? Who am I reacting to?'

While Minaka was still talking, something about how he couldn't let someone ruin his plan, she ran towards the window and broke straight through it plummeting to the ground, but feeling more alive than she had ever felt before. She couldn't believe a pathetic human was making her react so strongly, and she hadn't even seen him yet. While she was falling out of the window, she wondered how terrible and violent this man must be to make her react so powerfully. After she hit the ground, she broke into a sprint, moving like a blur, past the rushing traffic. The giant crater and the crushed body of the man she landed on were immediately gone from her head, all of her focus on running to her Ashikabi. This was going to be a fun day for her.

Patrick watched as a woman plummeted out of the top story of the MBI building. He wasn't sure of what he was seeing so he rubbed off the grime on his glasses to see if what he was seeing was actually true. But she disappeared behind some of the smaller buildings so he couldn't see what the fate had been of the poor woman.

Patrick sighed but he was determined to make it to whatever was waiting for, though it felt like whatever was making him feel that way was getting closer to him and her started wheeling his way from his new school to the MBI building when a couple of guys grabbed the bars of his wheelchair and started jerking him around. He college career hadn't even started yet and he was already getting picked on by some of the other kids who were also just accepted. They looked like idiots so they must have gotten in a sports scholarship.

"Hey, uh, fellas can you stop doing, you know, what you're doing, it's not very fun for me," Patrick said trying to hold onto his wheelchair without falling out. It was actually making him a bit nauseous; he cursed how weak his stomach was.

"Hey, cripp, relax, we are just having a pit of fun. Look, we'll even help you do a wheelie," And the large man proceeded to make him do a wheelie. Patrick was already feeling a bit queasy and all of the movement wasn't making it any better.

"Oops, muscle spasm," A man that was roughly 6' 2" kicked his wheel causing him to fall to the ground. While this was happening, he assumed someone would come in and try to stop it but everyone just proceeded with their normal lives.

'Wow, no one is even noticing this,' Patrick thought while he was lying on the ground. But the more he thought about it, the ore he realized that a lot of people must be watching, just no one wanted to do anything about it. His glasses had fallen off, his shirt had torn his legs were bent every which way. While the men started laughing at how funny he looked all bent up on the ground, all of their sound was cut short. Slowly, all three of their heads slid off with blood spurting out while Karasuba was standing behind them with rage in her eyes. How dare they do that to her Ashikabi, how dare they do that to a little, poor, small, weak, crippled, defenseless boy. Wow, that was the exact opposite of what she thought she would be reacting too, and she was furious. She had hated how the humans were all so weak and then she starts reacting to one. She saw the meek little man staring up at her while squinting to make her out, but he couldn't clearly see anything. All he knew was that someone had come in and saved him from the three guys.

"Uh, excuse me, thanks for helping me back there, I am really glad that someone finally stepped in." Patrick was squirming right now. His body was almost melting; he realized that this must be the source of what he was feeling. Maybe he had a fever, he really didn't know because what he was feeling didn't make any logical sense. He also wasn't sure what just happened to the three guys, they just sort of disappeared.

When Patrick found his glasses, he put them on and looked at the girl. She was definitely one of the most beautiful girls, if not the most beautiful, he had ever seen, but she was just staring at him. Her piercing gray eyes made him squirm. He always had a problem with girls, even his mom had made him feel uncomfortable all the time, but this was much more intense. Only thing that confused him was why she was just standing there.

"Uh, miss, are you-," but Patrick was cut short when she lunged at him. At first, he didn't know what happened, than the reality of what was happening dawned on him that they were kissing. He had about a second of fighting back against this kiss but she was holding him firm. Even though he was confused, the kiss was absolutely wonderful and he started to relish in it. Who would've thought his first time would be by someone so gorgeous, and someone so forceful. Even though she had complete control in the situation and the kiss was ferocious, it was relaxing. The fire that was burning in him started to die down, but was still there, enough that he could still feel the warmth. He was so engaged in the kiss he almost missed the wings that practically popped out Karasuba's back. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw the wings, but Karasuba just kept on making out with him like the great black feathery wings was a regular occurrence for her.

"Wow, you're a powerful Ashikabi, boy." Karasuba was surprised to say the least to find out that even though he was weak physically his mind almost made up for it. Key word, almost.

"Uh, um, not too alarm you, or anything, but uh, you have wings," Patrick didn't know what else to say. He was bewildered, happy, and scared all at the same time. Not scared of Karasuba, sacred of the power he felt coursing through him, he felt more powerful than he had ever felt before. Karasuba started to laugh.

"I suppose that's what I should've expected from a mere human, especially one as fragile as you. So, boy, what's your name?" Karasuba asked with as much venom as she could muster. But after she said it, Patrick looked a little sad and Karasuba felt remorse for the first time in her life. Maybe she could've said a little nicer, but she didn't want him to get the wrong idea. While she was reacting to him, she simply thought it was only because he could make her strong enough to accomplish her goals. All she needed was for him to be a powerful Ashikabi, she didn't need any strings to be attached, but deep down she knew that wouldn't be possible.

"It's, uh, Patrick, miss. And, may I have your name?" Patrick tried not to let his disappointment show through his words. He thought that he was a really bad kisser and she was mad at him for that but he wasn't used to this kind of thing. No girl had shown the least amount of interest in him in almost his entire life.

"#4, although since you my Ashikabi, I guess I'll allow you to call me Karasuba. Now that that is settled, it's time for you to be introduced into the S-Plan," Patrick cocked his head to the side in confusion. He had no idea what she was talking about.

"Um, Miss Karasuba what's the-," but before he could finish the sentence she had picked him up and started sprinting back to the MBI building, leaving his wheelchair behind. Patrick had never moved this fast in his life and was equally surprised when they were already at the MBI tower.

"What are we doing here?" Patrick asked totally lost now. His day had been peaceful until he got accepted in The University of Tokyo, then it spiraled from there. He didn't know if for better or worse yet.

"I'm bringing you to the psycho that's in charge of this whole thing," Patrick still looked a bit confused. "I'm bringing you to Hiroto Minaka, the CEO of MBI."

Patrick's jaw dropped. Not only did he meet a stunning girl today, but he was also going to meet his hero, the CEO of MBI.

"Really?! Oh man, that's so cool," Patrick exclaimed. If he could jump, he would. He looked like a little kid that was told by his mother that they were going to Disney land, and being held bridal style made it look like that even more. Karasuba started smiling from how excited he was, although she was confused. Why would anyone act like that to Minaka, a complete egotistical maniac that had no concern for human life at all, one more reason why the entire human race seemed inferior to her, the worshipped people who were weaker and crazier than almost everyone else on the planet?

After taking the elevator to the top of the building, after getting a few stares because of the odd scene that was Patrick and Karasuba, they walked to Minaka's office. While the giant door was automated because Minaka couldn't open it by himself, but it was a breeze of Karasuba to open it with a single arm, humans were too weak. Karasuba wiped off her smiling face to her normal scowl, she couldn't let Minaka see her happy, it would ruin her.

"Ah! Karasuba, so nice of you to come back, although I will say that the window you broke was very expensive…" Minaka trailed off when he finally noticed the boy that was in Karasuba's arms. Minaka wondered why she brought back a child; he looked like he might be twelve, maybe pushing thirteen. "Who is that in your arms?"

"It's my Ashikabi, Patrick." Minaka's eyes widened, that was the last thing he would've expected from someone like Karasuba. She was violent, sadistic, a murder and everything else under the sun and she got the most innocent looking boy as her Ashikabi. Maybe the boy was also a murderer, just better at hiding it, but then he started questioning why she wasn't putting him down. He didn't notice the look of adoration on Patrick's face.

"Karasuba, why are you still holding him? I'm sure he wouldn't mind standing on his own two legs." Patrick immediately got depressed and Karasuba registered it immediately from their mental link. She was really starting to hate Minaka.

"He's paralyzed from the waist down." Karasuba still had her steely expression but there was subtle tint of red on her cheeks. She was almost embarrassed having to carry him around just because she took him without his chair. And the tint grew stronger when Minaka burst out laughing, but not from embarrassment, more from anger.

"Wow Karasuba that was the last I would've expected from you of all people. Getting a crippled human to be you Ashikabi and if I may ask, was that why you jumped out of my window while we were in the middle of a conversation?" Minaka was trying to hold back his laughter but every once and while it would escape. Never in all his life did he expect the dog of the MBI, feared by virtually everyone, to be winged by someone who couldn't even walk.

"It may have been, but if you could shut up and just tell him what you need to tell him." Karasuba started letting off her evil aura and Minaka stopped laughing but he still had a stupid smile on his face. Maybe she would beat him later for being like this in front of her Ashikabi, but that would have to wait because she needed him to tell Patrick what the whole game was about.

"I suppose you are right but first I have to congratulate you Patrick, for being the First Ashikabi in this wonderful game," Minaka continued. "Not only did you start off this game, you started with number 4 as your fist Sekirei, very impressive. But, now, it's time to release the rest of the Sekirei!"

Minaka turned to his desk and pushed a big red button that said begin, and just like that, 106 Sekirei were released out into the world to find love, and ascend with their Ashikabi's once they win the game. Minaka turned back to Karasuba who started smiling knowing that there would be bloodshed soon and she would be one to spill a lot of it. Patrick watched all the women, and a few men, run out into Tokyo, to find their Ashikabi's, at least that's what he had gathered from what Minaka had been saying.

"Now, Patrick, time to explain to you what is happening…"

Kazehana just returned from her long sake tasting trip around the world when she all the Sekirei leaving MBI tower. She had a smirk on her lips knowing that the game had finally started, after many years of preparation. But what really intrigued her was the warm feeling growing inside of her. That was new, no one had made her react since the Director many years ago; maybe he was still making her react. She took a swig of her sake and tossed the empty bottle. Even on the outskirts of the city, MBI tower was still more noticeable than any other building in the city. She started to run closer to the building, she needed to see who her new Ashikabi may be, or if it will be the same person.

"This is going to be a lot of fun," she said to herself.

Miya was at the Izumo Inn when she first noticed the presence of her sisters and brothers running through the streets of Tokyo looking for love, she just hoped none of them would be taken advantage of. Then, something strange happened; someone, somewhere, was making her feel warm. Even though she wanted to deny it, there was a person in Tokyo that was making her react but she had sword herself off from anyone since her husband had died. She was to live as a widow and take in any Sekirei that needed a home from the dangers of the world and protect them from MBI. While she stood in her garden, the breeze past by her, blowing her hair to the side and a lone tear fell. She would never take the chance of losing another husband. With that, she walked back inside the Inn with a feeling that she wouldn't be able to keep herself as a widow for long.

The First Day of the S-Plan had begun.
