Author's Note

Alrighty to any of my reader's who've read The Space Between-Eva Saga. I will continue to write that story, but I have decided to take a small break while I get my newest chapter beta-read . This story will follow the life of my OC Tetsuya as he becomes entwined in the Sekirei plan. He will discover the magnificent creatures known as Sekirei and the truth about his parentage. I will mess with a few pairings but hopefully, some of the larger ones I mess with will not negatively impact the story too much. I will also mess with some ages to make the story fit seeing as how the entire time table is messed up. Please read and review. Also let me know of any ideas you have I'd love to hear any that you guys have. Also, I should note that Tetsuya is no ordinary Ashikabi, he is a member of a new generation of Ashikabi, whose abilities are less diluted than Minato's generation. This story will provide more focus and elaboration on the powers of the Ashikabi, other than to wing Sekirei. It starts about two weeks before Minato meets Musubi.

Chapter 1- Sekirei Plan, A New Game From MBI

19 years ago,

It was 2:00 in the morning when a young Seo Kaoru was roused from his sleep by a pounding on his door. He opened the door to see his friend Takehito Asama standing on his doorstep holding a bundle of blankets.

"Takehito what are you doing-" he began

"No time Seo, my time is short, but I need a favor of you. I need you to take this child, his name is Tetsuya, raise him as your own." he said gesturing to the bundle in his arms

"What? Are you kidding Takehito? I can't handle a kid now, I can barely fend for myself." he said incredulously

"Seo, my friend, please. If MBI finds out about this child they will try to involve him in the S Plan. I can't let him become involved in Minaka's twisted machinations. You're the only one I can trust with this. I can't leave him with Miya MBI will find out if I leave him with her. Please Seo, I don't have much time." Takehito said in a pleading tone. Seo could tell this was important to Takehito, so grudgingly he said,

"Fine, I'll do it." he said, taking the bundle of blankets that held the baby from Takehito.

"So what's so special about this little guy?" asked Seo as he looked up, only to see that Takehito was nowhere in sight.

Present Day

Tetsuya Kaoru was roused from his sleep by his uncle Seo nudging him with his foot.

"What do you want?" he asked groggily, as he rolled over to look up at his uncle and caretaker, Seo Kaoru, dressed in his usual outfit of a white undershirt and blue jeans.

"Hey, Tetsuya I have go out of town on business for a week so I just wanted to wake you for prep school and say goodbye." he said looking at the naked, save for a pair of boxer shorts, 19 year old boy sleeping on the futon below him. Him and the boy shared a two bedroom apartment, with two bathrooms. The apartment was painted a light yellow color with sparse decoration.

"Goodbye, now let me sleep for 3 more minutes." said Tetsuya as he rolled back over to go back to sleep.

"Come on, get up!" said Seo, firmly kicking Tetsuya in the side, resulting in a grunt from Tetsuya, who rolled back to look at his uncle.

"Come on, 3 more minutes man. That's all I'm asking!" Tetsuya said loudly at his uncle.

"No, get up now I have to go soon and I have to make sure you get to your classes today." said Seo, giving the youth on the floor in front of him another kick to the side.

"Ugh, fine! I HATE YOU, I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT!" shouted Tetsuya as he stood up and stomped over to his dresser to dress for the day.

"Yea, yea, I love you too, kiddo." said Seo, as he turned to leave to give his young charge some privacy.

Tetsuya smiled, no matter what he said, he loved his uncle. He had taken care of Tetsuya since his dad had dropped him off on his doorstep 19 years ago, with only the note that he would soon be unable to care for him. Tetsuya knew nothing of his parents, as his uncle refused to tell him anything due to some promise he had made to his father all those years ago. Tetsuya wanted more than anything to know his parents but knew his uncle well enough to knew pushing the issue was a lost cause. He had learned many years ago to love and appreciate his uncle, he knew there were others out there who had even less than that. He put on his favorite shirt, it was plain black cotton and was just tight enough on him to show off his impressive physique, next he put on a pair of grey jeans over a new pair of under wear. He had showered last night like he preferred to. He went over to his bathroom and combed his straight light purple, shoulder-length in back and neck length on the sides hair with his long bangs combed to the side, tying the back into a ponytail with a black ribbon that Seo said had belonged to his mother,. He liked his hair color, even if people made fun of him for it. His uncle had always said it looked like his mother's hair color, knowing full well it would launch Tetsuya into a whole new round of pressing him for details of his parents. He had grey eyes, like his father. He walked out, put his shoes on, and grabbed his denim jacket, helmet, and keys off the coat rack by the door. He exited the apartment, walking down the stairs to the parking lot of their apartment complex. He walked over to the black motorcycle that sat at the far end of the parking lot. It was a matte black 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, a gift from his uncle for his 16th birthday. He straddled the leather seat, put his helmet on and closed the visor. Put the keys in the ignition and kick-started the bike. He revved the engine a few times before hitting the throttle and took off to his prep class. He flew through the back streets of Shinto Teito city, until he arrived at the building his classes were in. he parked in the far edge of the parking lot and parked his bike as far way from the entrance as he could find and headed in to school. As he was passing through the parking lot he saw another one of the students in his class. It was Minato Sahashi, the boy was tall, with messy black hair and grey eyes a few shades darker than Tetsuya's. He was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.

"Hey Minato how's it going today?" called Tetsuya across the parking lot as her jogged over to Minato.

"Oh, hey, I'm good. How are you?" said Minato cheerfully.

"I'm good, thanks. You ready for the entrance exams this year?" asked Tetsuya casually.

"I hope so. How do you feel about your chances?" asked Minato as he rubbed the back of his head with one hand nervously.

"Well I hope they're good. If I don't pass this year my uncle's gonna 'kick my sorry ass out' as he puts it." Tetsuya said with a nervous laugh.

"Well best of luck to you then." said Minato

"The same to you ." said Tetsuya as they walked into class together and took their seats.

The day passed uneventfully, when class was out he walked out to his bike put his helmet on and headed home. He was his way home through one of the deserted back streets until a girl dropped out of the sky onto the street in front of him. His eyes widened in shock as he swerved to avoid her. As he turned though, the bike slid out from underneath him and he hit the ground and rolled into the side of a building while his bike slid out into the center of the street.

He lay there for what seemed like a long while, until his eyes opened to see the girl he had narrowly avoided hitting, leaning over his body looking down at him. Her lips were moving but his ears didn't seem to be working. She was a well endowed young woman with long, dark brown hair, brown eyes and a well developed body figure. She was wearing a belly top that was pink on the chest and violet on the sleeves with a star on the center along with Capri jeans. His hearing also seemed to be slowly returning to him.

"..so sorry...you okay?"

"Hello, can you hear me? Are you okay?" she asked worriedly.

He blinked and then realized she was speaking to him, he opened his helmet's visor.

"I, I, don't know. Are you okay though?" he said as he reclaimed his faculties.

"Yea, I'm fine I didn't just have a motorcycle accident. But thanks for asking. I'm Uzume by the way" she said.

"I'm Tetsuya. It's nice to meet you Uzume." he said, sitting up his back was sore but he didn't think he wad too badly injured, he was just glad he hadn't been speeding.

"Are you okay?" she asked him. He looked at her and for the first time, he really noticed how beautiful this girl was. Her hair was long and shiny, she obviously took very good care of it. And the size of her bust made it very hard to maintain eye contact. Though somehow, he managed to pull it off.

"Yea, I'm fine just a few bruises, doesn't feel like anything is broken. I just hope my bike is okay."

he said as he got up. His body was sore all over, but he'd be okay, this wasn't his first accident.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Uzume asked as she stood up. Just then an idea occurred to Tetsuya. He turned to face the girl.

"Well, if you must know, I'd love to take you out to lunch sometime." he said with a grin. Uzume blushed and looked down at the ground.

"Alrighty, I'm busy doing somethings with my roommate the next couple of days, how about we meet somewhere a few days from now?" she asked looking back up at him.

"Okay, I take the entrance exams tomorrow how bout in 4 days, we meet back here on this street. At noon." he said happily.

"Alrighty, here's my number. Call me sometime." she said with a wink as she scribbled down her number on a piece of paper and handed it to him.

"Will do." he said happily as he took the piece of paper. He was so happy that he didn't even bother to question how she leaped up to the top of the building next to the street. He went over to his motorcycle, noting that it was scratched pretty bad, but nothing he couldn't fix. He righted his motorcycle and kick-started it again and took off towards his uncle's apartment. He arrived back at home shortly. He walked up to his uncle's apartment. He walked back up the stairs and opened the door. He slowly walked into the bathroom. Her removed his clothing and examined the damage in the mirror. His coat would need to be replaced. But it was worth it, he had a date with a beautiful girl in a couple of days. He looked at his body I the mirror he was bruised up pretty bad on his back and left side. He turned on the water and let it begin to fill the tub he went out to the fridge and grabbed one of the countless health and protein shakes in the fridge, his uncle enjoyed beer and even let Tetsuya drink it, but he didn't care for beer. He unscrewed the cap off the protein shakes and chugged it as fast as he could. He repeated this 3 times each time drinking the shake as fast as he could, he would need all the vitamins he could get his hands on so he could heal as fast as he could. He threw away the empty bottles in the trash and walked back into the bathroom and turned off the water when it was high enough. He lowered his body into the water. He gritted his teeth against the pain of his bruises and assorted scrapes hitting the hot water. once he was fully in the water. He rested in the water for a while, enjoying the feel of the water on his skin,, closed his eyes and eventually dozed off in the water. He woke up a while later in the now ice cold water. He pulled the plug in the tub and got out unsteadily, his legs were weak from cold. He checked the time on the clock on the counter. It read 21:00.

"Ah,crap I forgot to study!" he exclaimed. But it didn't matter, he knew that if he'd tried to study his mind would've been on Uzume, that beautiful girl he'd met earlier. He grabbed a towel and dried himself off . Then he headed to his bedroom. He put on a new pair of underwear and a pair of sweatpants. He laid down on the futon and pulled the covers up to his chin. He put his head down on the pillow and went to sleep.

He woke the next day, dressed, and headed to Shinto Teito university to take the entrance exam that day. He arrived and took the entrance exam it lasted four hours, at the end he handed it in, hoping to Buddha that he passed this time, so he wouldn't have to move out. He headed out after the test and drove around for a few hours, hoping to run into Uzume again, after 3 hours with no success, he decided to head home. He arrived home mead himself a TV dinner, ate and headed to bed. He spent the next few days enjoying his few weeks of freedom until the results were posted. He spent the first day shopping for a new jacket, he found a used plain brown leather one that was selling for cheap. He paid for it with the money he had made from his job last summer, though it was slowly running out. The next day he headed to the gym and spent the day working out, he wanted to look good for his date after all.

It wasn't until the next day that Tetsuya would see Uzume again..He had ordered a pizza that afternoon for lunch before deciding to head to the botanical gardens that day. He was driving to the botanical gardens when Uzume landed on the street and jumped on to a building on the opposite side of the street, followed closely by a blonde wearing a black and yellow dress holding a whip. The whip girl appeared to be chasing Uzume. Tetsuya gunned the engine and cut through an alley to follow them. He swerved through the back streets desperately trying to keep up with the girls. He opened the visor on his helmet and shouted,

"Uzume, down here!" he saw her look down and a look of recognition flashed across her face.

"What are you doing here?" she called down to him as he turned onto a main street to follow them.

"I could ask you the same thing but it seems you need some help. If I pulled up along side you could you jump on to the back of my seat?" he yelled, swerving to avoid a car.

"Yeah, but you gotta be quick!" she said as she looked back at the woman chasing her.

"Can do!" he shouted up at her. He gunned the throttle and pulled along side the building she was on, keeping pace with her.

"Jump now!" he called up at her. He looked up and saw her jump off towards him and lost sight of her for a few second till he felt her land on the seat behind him with a thump. He opened the dash compartment in front of him and pulled out his spare helmet and handed it back to her.

"Thanks." she said over the sound of the engine as she fastened the helmet on her head and reached forward and wrapped her arms around his torso to avoid being thrown off.

"Hold on!" he said as he prepared to pull a maneuver.

"For what? Aaaaaiee!" she said her voice turning to a scream as he leaned sharply and pulled a U-turn and started to head back to his apartment. He turned to see the blonde woman start to follow him. He turned down a side street and started to take the most convoluted route home he could think of. He swerved around a corner, narrowly avoiding a trash can in his way he swerved through back streets for almost 45 minutes until they reached his apartment. He parked his bike and deployed the kick stand and swiftly dismounted the bike.

"Come on, follow me." he said, grabbing Uzume's hand as she was getting off the bike and leading her up the stairs to the apartment his uncle and he shared. He opened the door and pulled Uzume with him through the portal and slammed it behind him and checked through the peephole to see if they had been followed. Sure enough, a few seconds later the blond girl entered the parking lot and started looking around for them. He looked back to see Uzume, looking slightly flushed behind him.

"Who was that?" he asked as he locked the door behind and making sure he had his keys on him. He did.

"It's kinda complicated." she replied as she removed the helmet she had on and shook her hair out.

Uzume

Why did she feel this way? Why did her body feel so hot inside? Who was this boy she had met a few days ago on a shopping errand from Miya? In the three days since she had met him he had asked her out and saved her from being taken back to that horrible girl's Ashikabi and being forcibly winged. This boy knew next to nothing about her, and yet had risked his life, whether he knew it or not, to save her. He had shown such kindness to an almost complete stranger. Was it possible that she was reacting to this boy? She could think of people much worse than this simple boy to react to.

"Oh okay. Well, she's still out there looking for you, so it looks like we're stuck here for now." he said.

There was silence for a while until a loud gurgling sound resounded through the room.

Uzume blushed and looked away from Tetsuya.

"Sorry, I haven't eaten yet today." she said, embarrassed.

"Ah, I get it. Why don't you have a seat on the couch." he said quickly as he headed to the small kitchen, grabbed a few slices of the pepperoni and sausage pizza from earlier and placed them on a plate and put them in the microwave for a minute. After the minute was up, the microwave beeped, and he took the plate back out to her. She had walked over and sat down at the edge of the plush yellow couch next to the side table next to the couch while Tetsuya had been in the kitchen. She sat there quietly trying to fight the urge to go over and kiss the boy.

"Sorry 'bout the food it's all we have right now." he said setting the plate on the table next to her.

"We?" she asked quizzically as she took a bite of one of the slices of pizza.

"My uncle and I share this apartment, though if I don't pass the entrance exam this year he's gonna kick me out."

"Oh I hope you pass then." she said, trying to sound supportive with a smile. She hoped that he didn;t notice her staring at his lips. She was trying as hard as she could not to kiss him. Even though her body felt like it was on fire inside. But she couldn't help but lean in closer, she longed to, no she needed to, kiss him. Every cell in her body screamed at her to kiss this boy full on the mouth.

"Yea, me too I really don't want to have to- mph!" he never got to finish his sentence because when he had turned to look at Uzume mid-sentence, she had suddenly leaned forward and thrown her arms around his neck and passionatley kissed him full on the mouth. Tetsuya on reflex wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her onto his lap and started to kiss her back.(AN: Yes my readers, he's kissed a girl before.) He kissed her back for about half a second before he noticed something strange. Uzume's back was glowing, Tetsuya watched on in awe as wings that appeared to be made of light that looked like like cloth sprouted out of he back right between her shoulder blades at the base of her neck. Tetsuya pulled his lips away from Uzume.

"Whoa, what was that?" Tetsuya asked with an astonished look.

"You just caused me to emerge. I'm your Sekirei now, and you my Ashikabi. I'm Sekirei #10 Uzume, the Veiled Sekirei." Uzume said warmly, as she rested her hands on his chest and looked deep into her new Ashikabi's eyes. She noted that they were the same color as steel and seemed to contain a will that was twice as strong.
