Hello, this is my first fanfiction story to be published on Fanfiction. I was inspired by gabriel blessing's Inflight so I couldn't help take some little figments from it, although it will not affect the flow of the story.

As a reminder, I do not own Sekirei and Sekirei and its characters belongs to its respective owner. If you're an avid fan of Sekirei read at your own risk.

Memory Prologue

It was far too long when Senmestu Tsubameko, shortened to Sen, has remembered her dreams of her past. Yes, she remembered it when she was young, or in other words, when she was in her 'alpha stage'. Her eyes are not developed yet but she can feel her surrounding as of that moment. In fact, this is the start where she was beginning to develop her own sense of awareness.

Inside in an unknown laboratory, a large glass chamber can be seen, along with identical ones aligned with each other. An individual wearing a white lab coat was checking on them, carefully analysing them and scribbling something on board.

"Subject 040 is healthy," the unknown scientist said in moderate voice before he focused on the other ones.

"Su—b—t –f—t—i- he—a—t—" Even though Sen's ears are still underdeveloped, the vibrations that pierced through the glass are sensed by her, picked it up automatically and her little brains starts to analyse it quickly. This goes on for a couple of times and by the 'time' means a couple of days or even months as her sense of time is still off. Sen can now do subtle movements , has rapidly developed other organs which she calculated will be useful for a later use, can now identify syllables through those soft vibrations after. With her muscles still pre-developed, she can't still do anything else.

"Day 243, subject 040, as usual, in a stable state..." the scientist said while analysing the test subject once again, scribbling notes on a board which he was holding. When the test subject reacted to his words by giving him a curious stare, the scientist couldn't help but smile back, which the test subject picked it up and attempted to smile back too.

The scientist left the test subject and has begun analysing the other chambers but his mind was still occupied by that test subject 040 which he thought was special one. It's growth has been rapid as of these days.

Unlike the other beings clad in white gowns that observed her with little to no reaction. One being she found was different from her. When she tried to look at that particular scientist with her now developed eye, the scientist will curl his mouth upward for a moment and then she will subconsciously follow it with her now developed mouth. With her little arms and legs, Her body was now forming just like the scientist that was observing for those couple of days...

It was now his break time but he just couldn't help but he wanted to see test subj—

No wait. He can't just call it a test subject anymore... he will name it Mag for now, although only he can do it.

Even though he found no other reason to see Mag, he couldn't resist not seeing Mag again other than his occasional duty.

"M—a—g..." Sen tried to mouth those words the particular scientist repeated in front of her which she remembered during those times. She mouth it again repeatedly until her corners of her lips pulled upward again and a feeling of warmth emanated inside her as she cupped her chest. She contemplated these kind of feelings for that made her feel strange. When a familiar vibrations and an accompanied quick taps on her glass, she couldn't help but become curious toward the source of disturbance and found the particular scientist observing her again and searching for her attention. Sen repeated the procedure as usual, she curved her mouth upward once more and she felt funny again. Sen wondered why the particular scientist is analysing her at this odd time.

"I w—l s-t y—u fr-..." The particular scientist mouthed those words in front of her. It was a new set of words this time and she was curious. Sen pushed herself on the glass, watching intently the scientist with wonder.

"D—n't w-ry..." Those are the last lines the scientist released before he left again. with her ears are now fully developed, she can hear those words a little bit clear and found out that the way it was stressed was overly strange ... and filled with some meanings. Sen held those unique sound vibrations known as words for no obvious reason, calculati- no, what she meant was hoping that the scientist will come back. Sen's eyes followed the scientist as he walked away from her, before he faded into a blurry image.

Sen pondered those words that are sent to her for a long time before she realized it was called a promise...
