Shin Tokyo, Japan
Maison Izumo Inn
Miya Asama, Sekirei Zero-One, felt unusually restless.
She anxiously paced around the Inn's balcony in her kimono as night slowly rolled onto dawn. Sleep had not come easy for the Maison Izumo owner for two days straight. Ever since she visited Takehito's grave sometime ago, Miya had been having strange dreams of someone she didn't know; a young man with wavy golden hair and distinctively orange eyes that reflected the color of the flames burning brightly over his forehead.
The man had appeared numerous times already, and each one nearly drove her mad into seeking him out in real life, to see if he was real. At that moment, the light purple haired lady knew she was reacting to her possible Ashikabi.
"It shouldn't be possible!" she exclaimed softly.
She was Sekirei Zero-One, the Pillar, the strongest of her race, and their Queen. There shouldn't exist a mortal man capable of being her Ashikabi, her true Destined Partner. It was impossible. Truly impossible!
As her thoughts grew too heavy to bear on her feet, Miya flopped down on the wooden floor and placed a hand over her eyes to block the moonlight that befall upon her. She breathed in deeply and sighed almost resignedly...
"This can't be possible..."
Uncovering her eyes,she raised her hands towards the black sky, palms facing forward, as she tried to envisioned the man in one of her dreams; the one where he would appear handsomely in a stunning black suit and long cape, carrying her in a bridal style as they flew in the azure sky. In that dream she was treated as the beloved queen while he played the role of her most cherished king, gently hugging her with his arms and extending his black cape to shield her from the surging breeze.
She smiled at that serene view of them together. Her heart started to beat faster as soon she remembered the man in her dreams, her cheeks becoming rosy red hot. At that moment, she knew there was no way in denying it. The reaction was too strong, so strong that she wanted to scream with her lungs out.
"...Ashikabi-sama..."
