A Past Revealed

Lightning-sama

This is set early season one. So after Minato wings Kusano but before he wings Tsukiumi.

Timothy McGee rolled his eyes as his teammate, and friend Anthony (Tony) Dinozzo joked and flirted with Ziva. He would -somewhat sheepishly- admit that he had thought going out drinking with the rest of the team was a bad idea. However the end of the last case had left a bitter taste in his mouth.

Tim's mind briefly darted towards the small newly orphaned boy, but a rumbling chuckle from Gibbs drew his attention. Timothy -despite his high alcohol resistance- didn't actually like to drink.

But with the Alcoholic around you sort of have to-

No. He stopped himself there. He hadn't thought of Them in years, nearly five years now. Tim almost absently thought of those days.

When he had wielded awesome power and had been gifted with the protection of his unborn brethren. Before he had seen what Minaka was planing. Insane bastard, that he was. How staying in Shinto Tato, in Japan. Would only bring heartache, and pain.

So he had left, changed how he looked, gotten a new name and a new identity.

Timothy No-Middle-Name McGee.

Yeah. It had been years since he had been No. 5 Mutsu.

Years since those days so really what were the chances of Tim running into either a Sekirei or an Ashikabi. Especially here in Washington. So far from Japan. Yeah there was no chance of him meeting an Ashikabi or a Sekirei.

No chance.

So of course as they neared the pub who did they run in to...?

Tim almost chuckled as he ambled along after the Senior Agent and friend toward the bar. Ziva and Gibbs talking quietly behind us both, their amused eyes watching the both of us.

"Hey Probalicious. Can't you pretend to be even a little bit excited. I mean your typewriter and 'Doctor Who' will still be there when you get back." Tony whined.

Tim chuckled and murmured, "Well Dinozzo, I'm coming aren't I, I could always say no and go home to my 'Typewriter and Doctor Who' if I wanted too. Besides you know I don't like drinking."

Brief flashes of a dark haired, big breasted, revealing clothes wearing woman drinking from a large bottle of sake flashed through his mind. Tim almost smiled at the feeling of melancholy that threatened to overwhelm him.

He really did miss the Alcoholic, the Pervert and the Hannya. But not her. Not Karasuba, the monster that she was. The monster she was becoming.

When Timothy first felt it he thought it was false. All in his head, brought to the forefront of his mind by his melancholy thoughts.

But when he felt it a second time he knew. Knew that he wasn't imagining things. There really was an Ashikabi here. They had Sekirei with them, and they knew he was there.

Tim barely had time to grab Tony and leap to the backwards as the metal tip of a whip slammed to the ground where they had been standing just seconds earlier. Landing lightly on his feet, and setting the startled Agent down.

Tim started looking for the Sekirei that had attacked him, Gibbs and Ziva both pulling out their guns to try and assist, but pausing when I shook my head at them and grabbed Tony's phone and crushed it. Tim could feel their shocked gaze on his back but refused to acknowledge it.

"Well, well, well, aren't we lucky. I thought that when we had to leave Shinto Tato I wasn't going to be able to get any more Sekirei. But looky here. An un-winged Sekirei. My name is Hayato Mikogami. Your future Master."

The slender man that was speaking strode forward. From his walk along, Timothy could tell the man had money, but also that he was greedy. And used to getting whatever he wanted. A childish, greedy man. Tim's teeth gritted.

Flipping down from the roof of the building to the side a girl landed lightly on her feet. A whip wound tighly in her hand.

She was blond, with her long hair in pigtails and wearing a black Chinese styled dress with one thick yellow stripe down the middle. She also wore a black fabric choker, white gloves and black stockings.

She smirked, "Number 38 Mitsuha. Fight me!"

Tim shook his head. "No I don't want to fight. Leave us be."

Even as I spoke I started backing away, taking my team with me.

No 38 bared her teeth at them and snarled, "Too bad!"

In a flash she had her whip flying ever as she ran forward to try and grab me. I knew I was at a disadvantage. I had no weapon -aside from my gun which wouldn't really help me here- and I needed to protect the humans behind me.

With that in mind Tim spun around and grabbed all three of them and jumped up landing on a fire escape. Timothy quickly set them down ignoring the stunned and slightly fearful look in their eyes as he jumped down. He met the Sekirei's eyes and asked quietly.

"Will you allow me and my friends to leave?"

Even as he asked he knew it was no use. The hard glint in her eyes showing Tim that neither of them were leaving unless one of them was dead or he was winged.

"Will you allow my Master to wing you and become your Master as well?"

Timothy's head bowed as he sighed. So it would be a battle then.

"No 5, Mutsu, accepts your challenge."

Her eyes widened as she realized just who she was going to be fighting before she leap back to her Ashikabi with an urgent plea. Mikogami grabbed her face and pressed his mouth against hers and bright wings of light flared up from her back. She turned to Tim with a determined look on her face. And Timothy tensed his muscles in preparation. Things were about to get serious.

Anthony Dinozzo was having a hard time believing what was going on. It had been a relatively normal afternoon. Him flirting with Ziva and annoying McGee. Gibbs on their six like always.

When suddenly McGee grabbed him by the waist and as nearly flew backwards he thought he was losing his mind. However when the ground that they had just been standing on exploded. Then he realized that maybe he wasn't going insane.

And what that girl said, 'No 38 Mitsuha. Fight me!' What was up with that?

Tony was sure there was a movie quote that would fit this situation but for the life of him he couldn't think of it. And Probie, he didn't seem surprised at all. It was almost like he had known this would happen.

Tony was jerked out of his thoughts by the sensation of flying as McGee grabbed the three of them -Tony had to admire McGee's balls, you didn't just grab Leroy Jethro Gibbs and not get stabbed, or shot- and leap onto a fire escape, set them down then jumped off.

Then she called that weird brat that started all this Master -which by the way was so unfair. How come he got a beautiful girl like that calling him Master- and asking if McGee would let him wing him what ever that was. All Tony really cared about was that McGee was down there preparing to fight -and why had he called himself Mutsu?- and he wasn't there watching his six.

A flash of light drew Tony's attention down and he watched in shock as what looked like wings of light branched out of the girls back before she turned away from the man, and started running toward Tim.

She leap up and swung her whip around before yelling, "I am the whip of my contract, my Ashikabi's troubles shall be cast away!"

There was blinding light and a ringing scream. Then there was nothing.

I was thinking about ending it here but I won't be updating in a while so -shrugs-

When the light finally faded all of the humans there gasped. Timothy stood the whip wrapped around one arm, the other arm buried in the girls stomach. She cried out as blood spurted out of her mouth. McGee released her and she collapsed whimpering apologies to her Master.

"I will never be yours." McGee said quietly, "Now leave or I will kill you."

With that said McGee turned away from the body of the girl and leap up onto the fire escape. Gibbs opened his mouth to ask -yell- what was going on but one look from McGee froze him.

For the second time they were all gathered into McGee's arms and he leap onto the roof before starting to jump from roof to roof. Moving steadily toward his apartment.

Tell me of you want me to continue.

Ja ne
