Something More

Prologue

Minato Sahashi couldn't help but be surprised when his mother offered to see if he would like to join her at work for the day. According to her, he eccentric boss had proclaimed in a staff wide text that it was bring your 12 year old sons to work day earlier that morning. Takami had no idea what Minaka was thinking seeing as most of M.B.I's staff didn't have positions in the company where they could bring their children in to work even if they met the criteria of being a 12 year old boy. Takami had a sinking feeling that Minaka was up to something see as Minato had just turned 12 a few days earlier and that seemed like more than just a coincidence to her. She doubted that Minaka was trying to get closer to his son seeing as how he had never tried to be part of her children's lives before…though that might be in part because she had threatened to beat him within an inch of his life if he ever tried, after all she didn't need any of his craziness rubbing off on her children.

Takami sighed waiting for her son to reply to her offer. Minato had his arms crossed and his eyes closed in deep thought Takami smirked as she had no doubt he was weighing all the pros and cons of accepting her offer. Even at 12 years old Minato was extremely intelligent he had already skipped a grade and would probably skip another if the ease he was completing his assignments in his current grade kept up. Takami swore she got called at least twice a week from either various teachers or other children's parents about how great her son was not only was he an academic prodigy which she guess she had to give his father some credit for. 'At least Minaka's genes where worth something' Takami smirked. Minato as also an incredible athlete he was the star of nearly ever sports team his school had to offer and was a rising star in the kendo club as well. It was because of his excellence that Takami had decided to move him from his old school in Wakayama to the more challenging schools in Tokyo, much to Yukari's displeasure.

"Come on Minato we don't have all day I have to be at work in 20 minutes" Takami said lightly chopping her sons head.

"Sorry mom…if you're sure it's okay then I would like to come with you to work" Minato smiled,

"Alright then hurry up and change so we can go" Takami said taking a sip of coffee.

Minato scurried back up to his room to change out of his middle school uniform into regular street clothes. Minato had found out that his mother was a researcher for something called the 'S plan' since he'd moved to Tokyo, which was the reason she was often late coming home from work. He still didn't know exactly what this whole 'S plan' thing was about but he did know a few things one of which being that the company his mother worked for called M.B.I was more than just the pharmaceutical company it portrayed itself to be. He changed into a pair of dark blue jeans along with a light blue unbutton down shirt with a white t-shirt underneath. He checked his appearance one time in a full length mirror he had mounted on the wall of his bedroom after he deemed himself presentable he grabbed his book bag and took all his books out making sure it was empty before heading back downstairs to his waiting mother.

"Okay mom I'm ready" Minato yelled as soon as he hit the bottom of the stairs and went to put on his shoes.

"Bout time" Takami grabbed her car keys and headed out the front door along with Minato.

The drive to the M.B.I tower comprised of Takami giving Minato a strict set of rules that any parent would give their normal children to follow such as not to wonder off to parts of the building he shouldn't be in not to touch anything that looked expensive, not to annoy any of the scientist who were working and a few abnormal ones that she thought would be more likely to get her son into trouble such as no hacking any of the various labs computers, no mixing chemicals together to see what goes boom, and to absolutely stay away from a long grey haired young woman with an evil aura around her. Minato had to bite his tongue some he wouldn't make a smart remark about his mother being a grey haired young woman with an evil aura.

Takami parked in a reserved parking spot on the upper levels of the underground parking lot right next to the elevator that could go straight to the upper floors of the tower. Getting out of the car and locking it she swiped her access card calling down the elevator she decided that she would stop on the adjustment floors to check on her idiot staff before she went to the top floor and beat some sense into Minaka for some random reason she was sure would pop up between the time she got in the building to the time she made it up to his office plus it would give Minato a chance to see his father even if he didn't know it. Takami sipped on her coffee as the elevator traveled up to the first level of the floors designated to the adjustments of the Sekirei. Almost as soon as she stepped out of the elevator she was rushed by a messy grey haired man Minato recognized as Takehito Asama.

"Ah Minato-kun it's nice to see you again" Takehito smile ruffling the young boys hair.

"Nice to see you too Takehito-sempai" Minato smiled.

"What do you want Takehito" Takami sighed.

"It's Minaka he says he needs you to look over some very important data for number 07 apparently her test aren't going as planned and he want to know why" Takehito said in a lazy voice.

"Why can't you do it you know more about this shit then I do" Takami scowled "Besides I can't just leave Minato to roam free he has a habit of getting into trouble when no one's watching"

"Ah I wonder who he gets that from" Takehito chuckled.

"What did you say" Takami growled tightening her grip on her coffee mug so much that the glass cracked.

"Nothing…anyway how about I watch him for you while you go talk to Minaka" Takehito offered.

"Don't you have adjustments to do" Takami raised an eyebrow.

"Yes but Minato-kun can be my assistant right Minato-kun" Takehito smiled.

"Hai Takehito-sempai" Minato said excitedly he really liked hanging out with grey haired man since Takehito always let him get into trouble.

"Ugh fine just make sure you keep an eye on him…so help me kami if you let any of those little brats wing themselves on him I will make sure you won't be able to pleasure a woman for the rest of your life got it" Takami scowled.

"Hai" Takehito answered lazily watching Takami leave. "So Minato-kun have you been practicing that technique I showed you" Takehito asked after he was sure Takami was gone.

"Un-huh" Minato nodded.

"Good now let me see the result of your training" Takehito said with a small smirk.

"Right" Minato nodded again. After taking a deep breath he walked up to the nearest scientist who was going over some notes on a clipboard. "Excuse me mister I'm thirsty could you spare some change for the vending machine" Minato asked politely. The male scientist didn't even look at him before responding.

"Beat it kid can't you see I'm busy"

Minato looked back at Takehito who nodded with a smile letting Minato know it was okay to proceed "I'm sorry mister maybe you didn't hear me right the first time I said I'm really thirsty" Minato said as a small crimson black and gray demon mask appeared behind him along with a creepy and cold aura. The male scientist started to sweat and quickly pulled out his wallet giving Minato 10 bucks before hurriedly scrambling away.

"Good job Minato-kun…now let's see how fast we can get that bag of yours filled up" Takehito said leading Minato further into the lab.

"Alright Minaka what the hell did you need me to do that Takehito couldn't do" Takami growled at the Spikey white bespectacled man behind a large desk.

"Ah Taka-kun it's good to see you" Minaka smiled before a clipboard slammed into his face.

"I told you never to call me that" Takami growled she hated when called her that…it reminded her of the past back when Minaka was actually a good man before the power of the so called gods had twisted him into the monster he was now.

"Ah sorry forgive me I slipped for a moment…anyway I wanted you to take a look at this" Minaka said pulling out a thick file with a 07 across the front.

Takami scowled and snatched the folder away from him looking over the data inside, before pinching the bridge of her nose it would take her all day to sort through the mess those idiots had made. "What the hell were those idiots thinking" Takami scowled.

"That's what I'd like to know as well…oh yes I almost forgot did you bring that darling son of ours" Minaka ducked the coffee mug Takami threw at him.

"I brought my son here yes but right now he's with Takehito who using him as an assistant while he dose adjustments" Takami answered.

"I see that's perfect who knows maybe he will get some of those little birds to react to him oh the data we could collect" Minaka smirked.

"You leave my son out of this crazy plan of yours besides you already know that most Sekirei won't react to an Ashikabi until they hit puberty and most Ashikabi don't give off a strong enough presence to make a Sekirei react until they hit puberty as well unless that said Ashikabi is extremely powerful" Takami crossed her arms.

"Of course of course" Minaka waved his hands dismissively "But you never know after all Minato-kun may prove to be something more than even our data could've predicted" Minaka smiled evilly.

"What the hell are you talking about our data has predicted everything up to even the least likely combinations of human genes and still even to most powerful Ashikabi should only be able to attract five or six Sekirei naturally if they don't forcefully wing any" Takami growled at the idea of some scumbag forcing their will on any of the Sekirei.

"Yes your right of course just ignore my ramblings I'm afraid they were just the wishful thinking of a madman" Minaka laughed, He knew the data was perfect when it came to human genes but he wonder what would be the potential if the said Ashikabi was more than just human. He grinned as he watched Takami leave to head towards her lab and pulled up a monitor which showed Minato following Takehito around. Now to see how his favorite experiment was going.

SMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSMSSMSM

Minato was following Takehito around with a large smile on his face his bag now full of treats like chips candy and soda as well as a pocket full of cash. Minato had felt bad about using his skill to pretty much extort people but Takehito assured him that with the salary that M.B.I paid its employees none of them would miss five or ten bucks a piece.

"Takehito-sempai where are we going now" Minato asked.

"We're headed to grab a set of twins I need to see how their powers are developing since their last adjustment " Takehito said he had explained a bit to Minato about Sekirei but even as intelligent as Minato was he was still only 12 and Takehito was sure he didn't understand most of what he had said. Minato followed Takehito down a long hallway with doors on both sides bearing numbers similar to what you might find in an apartment building until they stopped outside a door with the numbers 11 and 12 posted on the front. Takehito knocked three times before opening the door to reveal a small scarcely furnished room, the room consisted of a small two person couch a few feet away from the door facing the opposite wall on which sat a small TV on a stand, the right wall had three doors along its length two smaller ones which were closets and one larger door that lead to a bathroom with a standing shower and against the left wall sat a twin sized bunk bed where two raven haired girls were laying lazily.

"Hibiki, Hikari it's time for your follow up" Takehito said tapping his clipboard with his pen. Minato could hear the girls scowl as the reluctantly climbed out of their beds and made their way to Takehito. Neither one of them noticed Minato until they were standing right in front of the grey haired man where they finally noticed the cute messy raven haired boy standing next to him making them both freeze as their hearts skipped a beat and their cheeks took on a slight dusting of red.

Minato also froze at the two beautiful onee-sans in front of him, they were probably only two or three year older than he was but they had already started to develop slight womanly curves which their outfits did little to hide, both girls were wearing booty cut shorts and t- shirts . After a few moments of staring at each other Minato shook his head and introduced himself. "Hello there I'm Minato Sahashi age 12 it's nice to meet you two" Minato bowed.

Snapping out their daze Hibiki and Hikari quickly followed suite "Number 11 Hikari age 15 it's nice to meet you as well" Hikari quickly bowed. "Number 12 Hibiki age 15 please take care of us" Hibiki mirrored her sister. Takehito quickly made a few notes about the twins behaviors never before had he seen them act so polite towards anyone and considering they haven't been injected with the serum to make them more submissive it was incredible that Minato's presence had caused such a change.

"Good now that you've introduced yourselves I'd like you both to follow me and my assistant for the day Minato-kun" Takehito said heading towards an elevator that went down to the test labs. Minato asked the twins a few questions like what were their favorite color, what did they like to eat and drink and other simple questions to get to know more about them while they bombarded him with questions about what was going on outside of the tower which he answered to the best of his abilities.

When they had finally arrived at the designated test lab Takehito made Minato turn around and close his eyes while he gave the girls a quick physical. After that was done he had the girls sit in their regular chairs and pulled out two light bulbs handing one to each of them. "Alright you girls know the drill" Takehito sat back ready to take note with Minato right next to him watching in interest. Hibiki and Hikari closed their eyes focusing their powers their light bulbs started to glow Hikari lightbulb quickly became blindingly bright before exploding while Hibiki's barely maintained a dim glow. Takehito took notes while making the girls preform the exercise several times before he sat down his clipboard with a sigh. "Hikari you're focusing too much on output and not enough on control and Hibiki you're focusing too much on control and not enough on output" Takehito crossed his arms thinking of various ways to solve the issue.

"Takehito-sempai I have an idea" Minato spoke up.

"What is it Minato-kun" Takehito said curious about what the young boy had come up with. With a wide grin Minato walked over to the girls he grabbed Hikari's right hand and placed it in Hibiki's left not noticing the twins blush when his skin made contact with theirs.

"Now if you two work together problem solved" Minato grinned triumphantly. The twins nodded and once again summoned a small amount their powers, this time both their lightbulbs glowed steadily showing no signs of fluctuating. Takehito face palmed as he couldn't believe he had over looked such an obvious solution.

"Good job girls looks like we found a solution for now albeit temporary this will still allow us to gather some good data…but you two should still practice until your able to do this on your own" Takehito said taking more notes.

"Awesome I knew you two could do it" Minato jumped on the twins hugging them, making their faces turn bright red as the light bulbs they were holding both got blindingly bright before exploding along with a few of the lights in the room and in the hallway.

Takehito looked shocked it wasn't uncommon for Sekirei's powers to spike randomly but this was different it wasn't a power spike instead it was a rapid but steady increase in power that lasted until Minato let go of them. Takehito rapidly took down more notes before calling the cleaning crew to clean up the glass and replace the lightbulbs that had exploded while he took the twins back to their rooms. On the elevator ride back up he noticed the twins were sticking closer to Minato then they had been previously and had small but noticeable blushes on their faces that worsened whenever he called them Hibiki-chan or Hikari-chan. Neither of the twins was happy when it was time for them to part from Minato but when he promised to visit them again as soon as he could they seemed to perk up and smile at him saying they expected to see him again soon. Minato grinned at them before pulling two cherry cola's out of his bag and giving them to the twins as a reward for their hard work before Takehito pulled him along saying they had more work to do, leaving the blushing teens longing after the raven haired pre-teen.

"Where are we heading to now" Minato asked.

"There are a few other Sekirei that physicals and follows so we are going to head to their rooms" Takehito answered.

"I see…are all of the Sekirei girls" Minato wondered.

"Most of them are yes" Takehito smiled as they went up two floors before getting out and walking down another long hallway and stopping in front of a door with the number 57 on the front. Like with the twins Takehito knocked three times before opening the door, Minato peeked inside to find the room was pitch black and he could make out anything in the utter darkness.

Takehito sighed and pulled out a flashlight from inside his lab coat "Yahan I know you're in here" shinning the flashlight around the room. Minato followed the light around the room he nearly jumped out of his clothes when the flashlight caught a dark skinned girl with waist length black hair leaning back against a corner of the room. The light only caught her for a second before she seemed to fade away back into the shadows. Takehito scanned the room again this time finding her somehow planted on the ceiling before she faded away again with a smirk several more times Takehito managed to find her but every time she faded away almost instantly.

"Ugh this is usually why I bring Takami with me whenever I have to get her" Takehito frowned.

"We just need to catch her right" Minato asked taking off his book bag.

"That's right" Takehito nodded it sounded easy enough but when you factored in Yahan's ability to teleport through shadows it made it impossible for any human to catch her in a pitch black room.

"Okay let me give it a shot" Minato puffed out his chest and walked into the room disappearing into the darkness. A few seconds later the sound of bodies crashing against furniture could be heard Takehito did his best to try to find out what was going on but all he got was flashes of a leg or arm before it disappeared back into the shadows. After almost five minutes of struggling everything went silent and a few seconds later Minato walked out of the room dragging a girl only about a year older than him behind him. His clothes were torn in a few places but otherwise he was fine much to Takehito's relief Takami would've killed him if he'd let anything happen to her son under his supervision.

"That's no fair you cheated" Yahan pouted as Minato stopped dragging her.

"What do you mean" Takehito asked curiously.

"He could see me he always knew where I was and where I was going" Yahan said pointing at Minato, Takehito was barely able to hide his shock Minato had somehow been able to track Yahan through the shadow and predict where she was going to teleport next something that should have been impossible.

"Now Yahan don't be a sore loser maybe Minato is just better at hide and seek than you are" Takehito grinned.

"I want a rematch" Yahan pouted.

"Sure anytime that was pretty fun I've never played hide and seek like that before" Minato laughed holding out his hand to help Yahan to her feet. Still pouting Yahan took his hand and the instant their skin touched her cheeks reddened a bit.

"Don't expect me to go easy on you next time either" Yahan crossed her arms looking away from Minato.

"I wouldn't dream of it" Minato smirked.

"Come on you two Yahan just needs a quick physical and some blood samples and she'll be all set" Takehito sad leading them back down to a different lab where once again Minato had to turn around and close his eyes while Takehito gave Yahan her physical which lasted a little bit longer than the twins. "Okay everything seems to be in order now for some blood samples Minato could you get the needle and sample tubes they should be in the top drawer on the left" Takehito said as he cleaned the inside of Yahan's elbow with an alcohol pad to sterilize the area. Minato quickly came over with the needed items and watched as Takehito started to draw blood into three tubes having Minato label them before setting them in a small tray once he was done. Once Yahan was done getting her getting her blood taken they all headed back up to her room Minato gave her a few suckers hopping the sugar would help offset the blood loss before he waved good-bye to her telling her that they would play hide and seek again soon before Takehito took him to another floor.

"Okay Minato-kun I'm really going to need your help with this girl okay she's really afraid of needles so I would like for you to try to make her feel as comfortable as possible okay" Takehito said stopping in front of a door label 104.

"Hai Takehito- sempai" Minato saluted happy he was being useful. Takehito knocked on the door three times before opening it to reveal a room exactly like the twins expect for there was only one bed and one closet. One the couch in front of the TV sat a short grey haired girl that was Minato's age if not a little younger. Recognizing the show the girl was watching Minato was on the couch next to her instantly as it was one of his favorite shows. Takehito was about to walk into the room when his phone rang.

"What is it Minaka" Takehito answered.

"I was wondering if you noticed anything off about Minato-kun" Minaka said from the other line.

"Why do I feel like you're up to something….anyway there are a few things about Minato that seem off for example it seems he has unnaturally good instincts when it comes to Sekirei he was able to solve that issues we were having with the twins after only knowing them for a little over ten minutes not to mention he seemed to boost their power by simple skin to skin contact and they showed signs of reacting to him which should be impossible at his age. If that wasn't enough he was also able to track Yahan through her shadows and somehow predict where she would teleport to next which even the single numbers wouldn't be able to do easily oh and Yahan also showed slight signs of reacting to him" Takehito reported.

"Good very good make sure you keep tabs on him" Minaka said before hanging up.

'Damnit Minaka what are you up to' Takehito thought as he returned back to Haihane's room. He was surprised to see Haihane leaning slightly against Minato as they both roared with laughter at whatever TV show they were watching Takehito had never seen Haihane warm up to someone so quickly she was usually a bit reserved when it came to meeting new people yet the phone call he had with Minaka couldn't have taken five minutes and she was already making herself cozy with Minato and the only plausible reason Takehito could come up with was that she was reacting with defied all the data they had collected so far since both Haihane and Minato hadn't entered puberty yet.

"Hey you two come we still need to head down to the lab" Takehito yelled from the doorway. Minato quickly got up off the couch still laughing about whatever had just happened on the TV with Haihane right behind him laughing just as hard. The entire way back down to the lab Minato and Haihane talked about their favorite TV shows and their favorite character from those shows. The two of them seemed like they were best friend that had known each other for years instead of two kids that had meet not even ten minutes ago. Takehito wasn't going to start complaining though as Minato was making his job a lot easier it would usually take him an hour to drag Haihane down to the labs whenever she knew she had to get blood work but with Minato there she was so enthralled with their conversation she didn't even notice where they were going. Just like the times before Minato had to turn around while Haihane got her physical though they kept talking the whole time which made it a bit difficult for Takehito since Haihane literally started rolling around on the floor with laughter after Minato had made a joke.

Eventually her physical was done and instead of Takehito taking the risk of having oh Haihane freaking out on him about getting stuck with a needle he decided to let Minato be the one to draw her blood since he had taught the boy how to do it during his last visit. Takehito prepared the needle and sample tubes while Minato was his hands put on gloves and sterilized the inside of Haihane arm. The whole time the two were constantly talking Haihane didn't even seem to notice the needle in Minato's hand until he told her that she had to be still so he wouldn't miss her vein. Haihane had just nodded and continued telling him about one of her favorite anime's as he stuck her and filled up the three blood tubes before removing the needle and handing the tubes to Takehito who labeled them and sat them in the small tray for some other M.B.I employee to come pick up and take to the designated labs.

"See Haihane that wasn't so bad" Minato smiled ruffling her hair. Haihane just grinned at him with a slight blush before they restarted their former conversation about their favorite movie stars. When it was time for them to drop Haihane off at her room neither one of the kids really wanted to part so Takehito gave them five minutes to finish up their conversation.

"Well Haihane-chan it was nice meeting you we should definitely hang out again your so much Fun to talk to" Minato started digging through his bag to find Haihane some snacks to eat while she watched TV.

"Come visit me anytime Minato-kun it always so boring her the only time I get to do anything is when I have adjustments or sparring practice with Benitsubasa and she isn't nearly as much fun to be around as you are" Haihane sighed.

"I'll make sure to visit you whenever I can" Minato said pulling out three bags of chips and a big can of cola and handing it to Haihane before running to meet Takehito in the elevator.

Takami felt like pulling her hair out more and more as she went through the file in front of her. She had no idea what the hell Minaka was thinking was he deliberately trying to break Akitsu the girl was only 16 and she had gone through more test than even the original five members of the discipline squad did combined. Takami finally had organized the file completely and decided she should go and check on the ice Sekirei to see if she was having any ill after affects from all the test Minaka had ordered preformed on her. Finishing her fourth cup of coffee she stood up and entered the nearest elevator heading down to the floor that housed the remaining single numbers. As soon as she got out the elevator she nearly spit out her coffee Akitsu was standing in the hallway with a small blush on her face as she nibbled on a candy bar across from her making wild arm movements was Minato who seemed to be retelling a very energetic story.

"MINATO SASHASHI" Takami yelled making her son freeze and break out in a cold sweat as she stomped over to him. "Where's Takehito don't tell me you snuck off when he wasn't looking" she growled.

"I didn't I swear Takehito-sempai was coming to check on Akitsu when he got a call from someone named Seo then he disappeared and told me to keep Akitsu company until he got back" Minato explained quickly.

"I see in that case I guess I need give Seo and Takehito a beating…how long have you two been talking for" Takami asked keep a close eye on Akitsu noting how the girl never took more than a few steps away from Minato in any given direction and her eyes seemed to glance back towards him every so often.

"I don't maybe half an hour" Minato said scratching the back of his head.

"I see well I'm glad you kept her company but I need to take her for some examinations so why don't you go wait in my office until I'm done" Takami said not wanting to leave him in a place where he could get in trouble she just hopped he wouldn't try to hack into her computer again.

"But Mom-"

"What don't tell me you want to help me out you know Akitsu will have to be naked during the examinations right…..unless that was your plan all along" Takami smirked as her sons face turned bright red and he gave a stuttered response. "I'll meet you in my office in a few hours okay if you get hungry just order a pizza my credit card is on the desk" Takami waved as she lead Akitsu into an elevator on the opposite end of the hall. Minato was about to head up to his mother's office when another elevator opened and two older teenagers about 17 or 18 stepped out of it wearing matching outfits tight black leather tops with miniskirts stockings and a gray haori worn over their shoulders one had long grey hair tied back in a ponytail with narrow grey eyes and a Nodachi that seemed to exude a deadly aura the other had brown eyes and brown hair styled with short bangs, chin length strands that surround her head and framed her face, with a single antenna like strand that hung just above her head and hip length hair at the nape of her neck and black fingerless gloves she seemed to exude a warm and welcoming aura.

Minato was so stunned by both of their beauty he was pretty much frozen in place until the brown haired girl stopped and kneeled down to see who he was. Shaking himself out of his daze he quickly introduced himself "Hello my name is Minato Sahashi age 12 my mother is Takami Sahashi it's nice to meet you both" Minato bowed.

"Oh look how cute he is Karasuba" Yume said pulling Minato into a hug that almost killed him.

"Yes just adorable" Karasuba replied dryly. "Anyway what's the brat doing down here".

"Sorry I was keeping Akitsu company before my mom came and got her for some sort of examinations and now I'm supposed to go to my mother's office so I can stay out of trouble but I really don't want to because it's so boring there" Minato explained quickly.

"Hmmm in that case why don't you come watch us train that should keep you out of trouble" Yume offered.

"Can I really" Minato said excitedly.

"Of course just follow us" Yume smiled. Minato did as he was told and followed close behind the two beautiful onee-sama's as they lead him through various hallways until the came to a large reinforced dojo type room. Minato quickly started to look around the dojo enthralled by the size and all the different weapons that the room contained. His attention was quickly averted as he saw Yume and Karasuba prepared to fight. Yume bounced around on the balls of her feet keeping her hands up like a boxer while Karasuba drew her nodachi with and evil grin on her face. The two of them stood facing each other for almost a minute before Karasuba rushed forwards at blinding speed trying to slash Yume from head to toe Yume dodge quickly almost disappearing from sight. Karasuba slashed again and again each attack getting faster and faster while Yume kept dodging faster and faster avoiding Karatsuba's blade by mere inches at times. Yume ducked under a high slash and came up with a hard uppercut that Karasuba leaned back to avoid and now it was Yume's turn to attack going after Karasuba with a flurry of punches and kicks that held super human power and speed. Karasuba was forced back until she deflected one of Yume's kicks with the hilt of her sword before slashing horizontally managing to cut a bit of Yume's uniform. Yume came back with a spinning back kick that Karasuba blocked with the flat of her blade the force of the kick sending her skidding back a few feet.

Minato watched in awe as the two women fought going back and forth in an epic battle the time seemed to melt by as neither woman showed any signs of fatigue even as the battle hit the one hour mark. Yume clothes had been cut in serval places while Karasuba's had been torn or burnt in almost a dozen. Minato had seen each of them avoid potentially deadly blows a handful of times apiece and even though something in the back of his mind told him he should be afraid of the two battling onee-sama's but he couldn't help but be captivated by their movements. After another half hour of sparring Yume and Karasuba had worked up a good sweat and decided to take a break. Minato hurriedly searched through his bag pulling out two cool bottles of water and rushing over to the two.

"Here you go one-samas" Minato handed both Yume and Karasuba a bottle of water much to the sword wielders surprise. Karasuba knew that she scared everyone around her and most people thought that simply looking at her wrong could be their end…they weren't wrong on a bad day Karasuba would lop off someone's head for the fun of it as long as Yume wasn't around to stop her but it wasn't her fault she was like that all the aggression and blood lust she held was a side effect of M.B.I trying to make the perfect soldier. All she wanted to do was be able to beat Yume and that bastard Minaka said the injections would help to increase her power and speed they were supposed to make her stronger than her rival not turn her into some monster…oh well no point in crying over spilled blood now. Karasuba found it entertaining that she could make grown men piss themselves with a look yet here was this 12 year old brat offering her water with a smile. She took the water from him offering a small smile which made him smile wider before going back to exploring the room.

Minato looked through the various weapons mounted on the walls he picked up a few them not really liking the way they felt in his hands most were too big or cumbersome for him to use at his current size. After a few minutes of searching he stopped in front of a rack that held two thin two foot long metal poles made up what he was guessing was solid steel. Minato had never trained with duel weapons before but for some reason he could feel himself being drawn towards them his as pretty sure the actual name for the weapon was kali sticks or Escrima sticks which have roots in the Philippines which made no sense to him why he would be attracted to them since they didn't even have Japanese origins. Picking them up, they felt perfect in his hands almost as if they had been made for him. Making his way to the center of the room Minato gave a small bow in respect to the dojo he was in before swinging around the steel Kali sticks his body seemed to move on instinct flowing through different series of strikes and blocks Minato soon fell in love with the weapons as he maintained high mobility and flexibility he could kick jump roll flip and spin quickly his strikes became faster and more elaborated as she flawlessly flipped back and forth between a regular grip and reverse grip while flipping spinning adding kicks into his strikes he felt like he'd trained with the weapons his whole life.

Yume and Karasuba watched Minato with stunned looks his movements were seamless and flowing allowing him to flawlessly transition between attacking and defending that being said it was obvious to the trained fighters that he still had a lot of room to improve but from what they were seeing he was very impressive for a human regardless of his age.

Karasuba stood up grabbing her nodachi she made her way into the ring ignoring Yume's look that told her to play nice. Karasuba saw a lot of potential in Minato as a warrior and that was enough to make her want to test him. His style with his kali sticks was fast paced and involved high impact striking using body momentum but it was too fancy for her taste she preferred her style of slash stab kill to the more acrobatic style Minato was displaying. "Minato-kun how about a friendly match" Karasuba smiled. Minato quickly agreed wanting to test out his new found talent. He removed his button down shirt folding it neatly of to the side. Yume and Karasuba raised an eyebrow in surprise as the raven hair boy already had a nice layer of lean muscle which told them how hard he'd been training himself. Karasuba couldn't help but grin as she unsheathed her nodachi. Minato took up a ready stance slightly bouncing on the balls of his feet. Being the more inexperienced fighter Minato quickly rushed in swinging as quick as he could Karasuba simply dodged using her footwork to dance around the ring. She noticed that he got faster as he continued to swing and it didn't take her long to figure out why the boy was using his body weight in perfect sync with the weight of his kali sticks and using the momentum to increase the speed and power of his strikes. Karasuba was slightly impressed since that particular style of fighting was very hard to master as it required complete body control and it wasn't something that a 12 year old should be so proficient in. Karasuba started to deflect his strikes trying to throw of his balance which would leave him wide open she was pleasantly surprised when, whenever Minato was thrown off from her deflecting his strikes he would launch a kick at her forcing her to back up enough to recover of course Karasuba could've just cut off the leg he tried to kick her with but that wouldn't be any fun now would it. Finally having enough of playing defense Karasuba went of offense battering him with quick slashes and stabs of course she was limiting herself to less than ten percent of her full power and speed. Minato blocked in very much the same way he attacked using one of his kali sticks to deflected a strike while using his body to absorb some of the strength of the strike all while spinning backwards or forwards to deliver a blow of his own using his opponents power combined with his own.

As Yume watched Karasuba spar with Minato she could feel her heart fluttering slightly at the sight the boy was incredible skillful for his age his eyes were sharp constantly looking for openings in Karasuba's attacks while grinning slightly showing he was enjoying himself Yume could sense that he had an incredibly powerful soul one that was full of love compassion and kindness but all held the fierce spirt of a warrior strong devoted and unyielding. Minato and Karasuba were now going back and forth trading blows and it was becoming obvious that Minato starting to tire out his strikes were becoming wild and sluggish his breathing was becoming more labor and he was dripping sweat. Seeing that her opponent's skill was suffering due to his fatigue Karasuba decided to end it sidestepping a wild swing she instantly brought her sword up to his throat taking care not to cut into his skin. Minato feeling her cold blade against his throat dropped his weapons and fell back with a tired moan in defeat. Karasuba sheathed her nodachi looking down at the panting boy she couldn't stop a smirk from forming in about ten years he would grow up to be a very handsome young man and by that point the 'S-plan' would be getting underway she was sure if he kept training he would become a man that would be head and shoulders above the rest now that she thought about it she could always shape him into her dream man. "Come on Minato get up we've got training to do" Karasuba smirked.

After another hour of 'training' Minato had passed out from being overworked and was currently snoozing on Yume lap while she ran her fingers through his hair. Karasuba sat next to her polishing her nodachi occasionally glancing at the snoozing boy before smirking and turning her attention back to her blade. Takami wondered into the dojo ten minutes later and her jaw dropped as she saw Karasuba taken over for Yume and was running her fingers through Minato's hair while he slept with a pleasant look on her face…well as pleasant of a look as Karasuba was capable of. Sighing to herself Takami walked over to the two discipline squad members "I hope he didn't cause you two any trouble".

"Not at all we quite enjoyed him being around" Yume smiled.

"Yes in fact you should bring him around more often" Karasuba added. Takami didn't bother trying to hide her shock at Karasuba's comment.

"I didn't think you two would like babysitting" Takami smirked. "Well his summer vacation is coming up and he always gets into trouble when I leave him home alone so I guess I could bring him with me more often if he wants to come that is…anyway would one of you two mind carrying him down to the car for me" Takami asked. Yume nodded and carefully picked Minato up being careful not to wake him as she stood up. Karasuba stood up as well and followed Yume and Takami down to her car before watching the grey haired woman drive off with her new favorite toy.

"Takehito would you please go over everything you observed today for me I'd like to compare your notes to my own" Minaka said with his fingers interlaced resting on his desk.

"Well as you know it seems that Minato was able to get numbers 11,12, and 57 to react while it seems implausible that he could make three Sekirei react when he has not yet reach puberty it was within our original calculations seeing as how we already suspected him of being an extremely powerful Ashikabi. Minato has also gone being our calculations by making numbers 104 and 07 react to him as well it shouldn't be possible for number 104 to react to anyone since she has entered puberty and seeing as how Minato who is still a child was the one to make her react is far beyond our calculations. It should also be impossible for number 07 to react to anyone period given the drugs she is being given to suppress her ability to react. Minato seems to defy all our pervious human estimates by far" Takehito concluded.

"Excellent from what I observed it seems like numbers 08 and 04 are reacting to him as well though their reactions seems to be rather small" Minaka smirked.

"That's impossible there should be no way anyone should be able to cause three single numbers to react without having winged a single Sekirei no matter how powerful an Ashikabi is" Takehito said stunned.

"For a human yes it would be impossible but why don't you take a look at this chart" Minaka said pulling out a blank file. "These are readings that were taken during Minato's little match with Karasuba".

Takehito's jaw dropped as he couldn't believe what he was seeing speed strength reaction time were all pushing the limits of the scale this was something he would expect to see from a world class athlete or a special ops soldier not a 12 year old boy who'd barely taken up kendo a year ago. "This can't be right there's no way these can be right by these calculations by the time Minato is 16 nearly every Sekirei he walks by will start reacting to him" Takehito put his head in his hands.

"Those readings are 100% correct my old friend" Minaka said his voice lacking its usual flair.

"But that means…Minato can't be human" Takehito started to sweat he'd watched Takami give birth to the boy there's no way in hell Minato was an alien.

"That's right" Minaka said coldly.

"What the hell is he then if he isn't human" Takehito screamed.

"Something more" Minaka said as if it was the most obvious answer in the world.

Minato had quickly accepted his mother's offer to come with her to work during his summer break and anytime he could after that as the years went on he became extremely close to the Sekirei he'd visited during his first trip. Haihane kept him updated on all the hottest shows and was a constant pleasure to be around he would even help Takehito with minor adjustments for her. The twins were pretty much his tutors when it came to women they told him what most women thought of as their ideal man and were always fighting over who got his attention. Yahan was his greatest challenge in hide and seek period and he would often tell her who he wished he had her powers so he could sneak out whenever he wanted she would always ask him where he would sneak off to and he would always smirk and give her the same line "to see you of course". Akitsu saw him as the only person she could ever drop her mask of uncaring and unfeeling around he was always there to listen to her troubles and did his best to ease her pain as much as he could usually bringing her gifts of chocolate and stuff animals which she cherished dearly. Karasuba and Yume became his regular sparring partners and constantly pushed him past his limits to improve his skills at an incredible rate it was due to their training that he was able to easily win the kendo nationals when he was 14.

Minaka was forced to keep a close eye on Minato as he got older his pull as an Ashikabi got stronger and he had to use his staff to stop Yahan Haihane Akitsu Hibiki and Hikari from trying to wing themselves on Minato over four dozen times. The white hair CEO was just glad that Yume and Karasuba were able to control themselves since he doubted anyone in his staff would be able to stop them if they decided to wing themselves on the young boy.

By the time Minato turned 16 he was in the tower almost everyday since he had graduated high school early by skipping two grades and taking all advanced classes. Minato's power as an Ashikabi was so great that most Sekirei were starting to react to him just from him being in the building and it got to the point after one very close call with Akitsu that Minaka started having the staff administer a weaker version of the reaction suppressant that they were using on Akitsu to every single Sekirei weekly. After some time Minaka realized that if he allowed Minato to keep coming to the tower as he pleased with his ever increasing powers that eventually the Sekirei would riot in an attempt to wing themselves on him and a game is never any fun when there's only one player. So being the genius that he was Minaka decided to indirectly offer the boy a six year all expenses paid trip around the world where he would get to visit a dozen different countries meet some of the world's most powerful men and women and experience a handful of different cultures. Of course Minato quickly jumped at the once in a life time opportunity and was gone within a week. Minaka just hoped that six years would be enough time to get the project up and running and have at least a few dozen Sekirei find their Ashikabi before Minato returned.

An: Yes I know it was a very long prologue but I once I got started I really couldn't stop since I wanted to get the entire prologue out the way in one chapter that why I could get straight to the main story in the next chapter which will pick-up right as Minato arrives back in japan after his six year period away. This will be a Minato/large harem fic and as you can probably guess Minato is going to be somewhat different form the cannon he will still maintain his kind demeanor but will have to problem with kicking some ass when he needs to. So far his Harem will include Yahan Karasuba Yume Akitsu Hibiki Hikari and Haihane though I'm open to whoever you all think should be in his harem as well. I will have a set number of votes that each character must get to be included in the harem so depending on the suggestions I get I will put a pool up for who you can vote for next chapter. Also this is my first attempt at a Sekirei fic so let me know what you think.
