Chapter 1

Kurai Akumu knew he wasn't normal. His black and red hair, red eyes, and tattoo on the bottom of his foot that would appear from out of nowhere then disappear were proof of that. But after the events that took place today he could have been the most average guy in the world.

The day started like any other. Kurai woke up abruptly from his alarm that was blaring in which causing him to leap out of bed feet tangled in sheets and fell to the floor. "Shit. I forgot to turn that damn thing down again." He thought as he sat up rubbing his head with one hand while untangling his feet with the other.

"What time is it anyway?" looking at the clock he hung his head and cursed seeing that it was 6:15 AM 2 hours before he should have gotten up to go to work. He groaned. "The Hell with it." falling out of bed made him fully awake with no chance of going back to sleep so he decide to just take a shower then head out.

An hour and a half later Kurai came out of the bathroom wearing a red shirt, black pants, and was bare foot because never really wore shoes that often. As he walked to the door he grabs his bag then glanced at his place that was really a basement. It was simple room with space for one person to live in and rent he could afford. There wasn't much around the room a normal TV, a table in front of it, a small bed, and a few chairs all of which were there when he first moved in. The only things he did own were (1) three pictures on the table. One was him and his friends when they graduated high school together, the second was him and his brother a few years back, the third was when they were kids with his sister and mother back when she still had black hair.(2) His clothes. (3) A black katana next to his bed that he inherited from his father. His foster mother told him that she was a close friend of his when he was alive and that he was a master swordsman. So Kurai learn kendo, other sword styles, and some martial arts, even won a few tournaments to be like him, but he had no use for it now.

Kurai sighed as he walked out locking the door behind him then ran up the stairs to save time. Although it wouldn't take him that long to go to work, just a 15 to 20 minute stroll. He started to think about more of his life since he moved.

He thought about the time he worked at a host cafe once. A friend he made there named Kagari offered him to stay at an inn he stayed at and said that the landlady would let him but he declined. Kurai told him that he didn't have a real reason to move but if he changed his mind he'd look him up. Soon after, he was fired for getting in a fight with some customers who made fun of his hair and eyes.

He didn't see Kagari after that. Now he was thinking if he should have accepted at that time because he lost the address Kagari gave him and had no way of contacting him without going to back to the cafe which wasn't a good idea because the owner threated to call the cops if he did. It wasn't his fault he sent those guys to the hospital; they shouldn't have made fun of him and threw the first punch. He did give them plenty of warnings.

The job he had now took up most his time also didn't pay that well either but he didn't have room to be picky with his looks he was lucky to get a job at all. People always assumed he was some sort of punk or something. Because of that he couldn't to college at the same time as his friends, he was smart enough but didn't have the time or the money to do it and he didn't want to just be given the money from the mother and be more of a burden than he already has. He just hoped that his step brother didn't fail his exam again like last year.

Flashback
"So dude, did you pass? When should we celebrate?" Kurai asked
'silence'
"Minato you there?"
'Still silence'
"Don't tell me."
"Yeah, I failed. Sorry."
Kurai palmed his face "How the hell did you not pass? I know your smart enough so what happen."
"I got too nervous and forgot all the answers and couldn't finish."
He sighed "Well that sucks. What are you going to do about mom and Yukari? Yukari will probably laugh at you and call you useless like she always does, but mom; she's going to kill you."
"Actually I was hoping you could help me tell them."
"Sorry no can do. I don't want to die at the age of 17. You're on your own, but good luck though."
"Thanks."
Flashback end

He started laughing at the memory of his family although not official they were still a family. He did not know much about his real parents; Takami told him a few things about his father, like his name 'Ron Akumu', and him being a swordsman, but nothing about his mother. Kurai just thought that she either didn't know her or it would be better if he didn't know.

Suddenly the sound of thunder broke him from his reminiscing. He looked up but there wasn't a cloud in the sky. "How can there be thunder, in wasn't supposes to rain today." He thought. Just then three women came into view. Two of them who were clearly twins wore what could only be called S&M clothes. The only difference between the two was one was in purple with smaller breast and the other in blue with bigger breast. The last one that seemed to be running from the others was a young woman with gray hair with an elegant white dress.

Lightning shot out of their hands towards the woman who leaped out of the way.
"Damn it, stay still." the one in blue shouted.
"No way. Unlike you two who have a loser ashikabi, I want to take my time in finding mine." the woman retorted.

"Hey, Seo has his good points!"

"Like what?"

She tried to come up with one but could not find any.

"So I was right." she said with a grin

"Shut up!" she yelled sending another attack at the woman causing her jump to the middle of the street. She was so focus on the twins she did not see the car speeding towards her.
Kurai didn't think twice as he ran and a pushed her out of the way saving her, but not himself.

Earlier that day

Taki was jumping from rooftop to rooftop happily without a care in the world. She was finally let out to search for her ashikabi. She couldn't wait to meet him. Her tuner had warned her of the dangers that she might face before meeting him. Like being forced winged by someone or getting attack by other sekirei; Namely Hikari and Hibiki the lightning sekirei with the loser ashikabi. Taki had heard stories about him and shuttered at the thought of being with someone like that. But due to her being so deep in thought she nearly overlooked the lightning heading right for her.

Taki created a wall of mist in front of her blocking the attack. After it dissipated two figures appear. The same two that she was just thinking about. "Ah I'm surprised you dodge that." Hikari said

"Oh, it's you two. Sorry but I don't want to fight just yet. So be good girls and run along." motioning her hand to shoo them away.

"Tempting but no, just because you don't want to fight doesn't mean we don't." Hibiki said

Taki sighed. "Great. Just great."

FASTFORWARD

Taki was not having a good day. First those two with the loser Ashikabi attacked her and was now chasing her. Then for no reason someone just rudely shoved her. She was about to turn around to yell at him but stopped hearing tires screeching, glass breaking, and a crash. She turned around. There was car off the road the windshield destroyed with blood on it. Hibiki and Hikari held shocked expressions on their faces. She followed their gaze and her heart sank. On the ground was a boy in his late teens probably 17-18 with blood on his arm and skull. This person had pushed her out of the cars path and was hit. Taki ran over to him fearing the worse. She kneeled down and touched his hand.

A jolt ran through her body and heat began to fill her body. Her hand moved to his face and brushed the hair away. Seeing his face the heat intensified. Realization of who he was hit her as tears ran down her face. This person that saved her was her ashikabi. Taki was filled with despair as she cried into Kurai's chest but hope had arrived in the form of a heartbeat. She sprang back up to see him moving.

She looked around, the person in the car vanished but the twins were still there. They were the ones that caused this she wanted nothing to do with them but her ashikabi was dying and they were the only ones that could help.

"Please get help! I don't want him to die! I don't to lose him! So please!" Taki practically begged with Kurai in her arms. This broke Hikari and Hibiki out of there trance but before they could speak a MBI truck came.

A few men came out with guns and ran toward them. Taki surrounded herself and Kurai in a blanket of mist ready to attack. The men point their guns at them but one man raised his hand telling them to lower their weapons. "You don't have to worry. We're only here to help." he said

Taki narrowed her eyes but let the mist disappear. Two men came out with a stretcher placed Kurai on it then in the truck with Taki right next to him. The truck drove away leave the twin behind.

"What have we done?" Was the thought they shared as they watched the boy get put in the truck.

"If he dies I swear i will find you two and kill you." Taki said as she passed them and entered the truck.

The two were speechless both knowing she meant every word. They couldn't blame her; she finally found her ashikabi just for him to almost get killed with it kind of being their fault.

"Hikari, we better hope that he's alright." The younger sister said.

"Why? It not like we intended for this to happen." Hikari responded

"No, but we were the cause of it. Plus you saw the look in that sekirei's eyes. She meant what she said and if she doesn't kill us Miya will surely do something to us if she finds out." they both shuttered at the thought.

There was a sigh behind them "It looks like I got here too late."

Hikari and Hibiki knew this voice very well because most of the time they heard it they got burnt. They turned around to see sekirei NO.06 Homura the self-proclaimed Sekirei Guardian.

"Homura wwwhat are you doing here?" Hikari stammered concerned about getting burnt again.

"No reason, not any more at least." he simply answered he began to walk away but stopped. "Oh, and if you're worried about if that guy is going to be okay then you don't have to he should be fine, but I would apologize to him if you see him again." with that he left leaving the twins to think about how Homura knew that he would be okay.

In the truck Taki was sitting beside Kurai who was still unconscious. Even though they told her that he was going to be okay she was still troubled. She looked at him smiling slightly. This was the first time she really got a look at him. He was most likely somewhere around 18. His hair was blood red not including the real blood and a few were black. Kurai started to groaned and shake in pain so Taki grasped his hand which actually made him stop. Tears began filling her eyes as Kurai slowly open his.

His heart was racing and his head felt like it was on fire, it was painful but when he felt someone take his hand the pain subsided and his body was filled with warmth. Kurai opened his eyes to the woman he saved holding his hand with tears in her eyes. He didn't know why but he didn't want to see her cry. He moved his free hand to her face and wiped the tears away. "Please don't cry. I'm fine really." This made her smile which to Kurai made her look like an angel.

"My name's Kurai, Kurai Akumu. What's yours?" to his shock she moved in closer her face right above his.

"I'm sekirei NO.65 Taki, Ashikabi-sama." Taki pressed her lips on his. Kurai froze this woman that he just met was kissing him. Sure she would be grateful that he saved her but not this grateful and what was a sekirei or an ashikabi for that matter, but Kurai didn't dwell on it he just enjoyed the kiss, his first kiss 'well technically his second but the first one didn't count' some of people in the truck gave him a smug look not that he could see them and a few mumbled something along the lines of "Lucky brat."

And right when he thought it couldn't get stranger wings sprouted from behind Taki the blue light shined around the truck the people didn't seem that surprised but that wasn't all. They all failed to notice that mark on Kurai's foot appeared was glowing and the same mark also appeared on his back the light flashed to black for a second then returned to blue from Taki's wings. Taki pulled back and smile as her wings disappeared. "Let us be together now and forever."

Kurai smiled "Alright." Then he passed out.

In the MBI tower the alarms and computers were going haywire. One scientist was gaping at the screen before her. That scientist was Takami Sahashi. NO.65 Taki was winged but she wasn't interested in her, but her Ashikabi that was a different story. Him the one she took care of along with her children, Kurai Akumu. She wasn't all that surprised that he became a part of this game that Minaka cooked up, due to who his parents were. But she would never have thought that something like this would happen. On the monitor it displayed Kurai as both an ashikabi and a sekirei. Takami rushed out the door to stop the maniac she knew from doing something stupid like provoking him and awaking his powers whatever it could be.

Karasuba smiled in anticipation "Yara Yara, Ku-chan has grown so much since the last time I saw him. I wonder who he'll take after, his father or ..." Karasuba stopped her smile grew becoming genuine and continued to sharpen her sword. The newly appointed disciplinary squad 'Benitsubasa and Haihane' and their ashikabi 'Natsuo Ichinomi' was with her. "Do you know him?" He asked not really caring. "Oh that's my little secret." she mused. Benitsubasa was the first to speak openly about her opinion. "What's the big deal with this guy he's nothing compared to Natsuo." she waited for a comment from Haihane but nothing came. Haihane was fixated on watching the screen oblivious of the world around her. "What is this feeling? Why is my body getting so hot." she put her hand on her heart forgetting that she had claws on stabbing herself. "AAAAAAHHHHH!"

Minaka Hiroto was laughing maniacally at the new developments. A new sekirei had appeared who was also an ashikabi. Now although he already knew of this boy and how he was conceived he left him alone. But when Kurai had come to the city he placed him under surveillance without Takami knowledge of course. Now the game just got more fun. He was just about to call and congratulate him when his own phone rang. He picked it up then frowned. It was the surveillance team. They had reported the crash and took him to the hospital. He was hoping to talk to this boy before Takami got wind of it and beat him to a pulp but it seems he would have to wait.

That's it for now

Also feel free to try and guess who Kurai's mother is
