"" Someone talking

"" Someone thinking


Sitting in front of a television a young looking child watched the news. He had blond hair and blue eyes, three long bangs that hung over his forehead, and the rest of his hair flared out on the sides and back. He wore a black tracksuit with red lining and red stripes along the bottom and sleeve cuffs. Beneath the jacket, which he wore open and cut off at the midriff, he wore a plain white T-shirt and a bolt tied to a string around his neck, referencing his name. He also wore traditional Japanese black sandals.

On the television screen, was a reporter talking about the opening of a new hospital, which was the object of the child's current interest.

"We are here today for the grand opening of the newest hospital. The owner of the hospital is our own Dr. Naruto Asama and his lovely wife, Kazehana Asama," said the female news anchor.

Walking in front of the camera, a man of 6 foot 5 inches height could be seen standing proud and tall. When the camera focused on his face, everyone watching could see that he had blue eyes and blond, spiky hair. He wore a black uniform-style jacket with an orange zipper that featured several buttons on the waist and sleeves, allowing him to fold up the left sleeve and rear coattails. He also wore a red armband with an Asama crest on his left arm. On the crest was an open hand with a single eye in the center of the palm. When the camera zoomed in to his right forearm, everybody could see that it was wrapped completely in bandages from his fingertips up to about halfway to his shoulder.

Ever since Naruto's name has been known to the media, everyone has wondered about his forearm. Some speculated he was in an accident that permanently damaged his arm during one of his adventures, while others said that he lost his original one and he got a replacement. When asked, Naruto always looked amused and laughed, telling them it would ruin the great mystery if everybody knew.

Appearing on the screen and next to her husband, the viewers were able to see his wife, Kazehana's appearance. She was wearing a very short purple Chinese dress, which showed her abundant cleavage, and opened in such a way it left her perfectly smooth stomach bare. She had the appearance of a mature woman and a well-developed body figure, which revealed curves and assets that would make any woman jealous. Her hair was tied up while a wedding ring could be found on her finger.

The female anchor than said "I would like to also remind the viewers that this is the first public appearance of Dr. Asama since the attack two weeks ago"

Facing the camera the female anchor said "For those of you who were not aware of this two weeks ago Dr. Asama was attack on his way home from work by four men. The four men targeted Dr. Asama; his wife was not with him at that time, at night time and fired weapons at his vehicle. Thankful Dr. Asama was not hit by any of the bullet but he was hurt sometime during the ordeal, and the four men were captured."

The anchor than continued saying "The four captured men were identify as international criminal that were wanted by the United States, Russia, and varies other countries. Sadly before the four men could be transported to a secure location for their interrogation the vehicle that they were all in were in was blown up. Sadly there were no survivors, because of this it prompt police official to believe that someone had hired these four men to kill Dr. Asama."

"Dr. Asama, I'm surprised that you would be here with the attack on your person just two weeks ago," said the anchor.

"To be honest I wasn't planning on being here publicly, but then I realized I was being cowardly by hiding like a scared child. I decided that I wasn't going to let someone trying to kill me slow down the opening of my new business," Dr. Asama said while letting out a small chuckle while scratching the back of his head with his hand. He then added, "But to prevent another attack on my person again I took the liberty of hiring these two women as my bodyguards."

The camera shifted to show said women on the screen. One stood to Naruto's left while the other stood to Kazehana's right.

As the camera focused on Naruto again, the blonde man explained, "The woman on my left is Yūgao and the one on my lovely wife's right side is Ryūzetsu."

Yūgao was a young woman with straight, purple hair reaching down to her waist, warm brown eyes, and a shade of red lipstick.

Although her breasts couldn't beat Kazehana's own, 100 breast size; that did not mean that she was small. With her 94 chest size, she would still be considered big compared to a vast majority of the female population. While she lost to Kazehana in the chest department, she made up for it in the hips department. With her 94 size hips she would be an ideal woman when it came to bearing someone's child. As a bodyguard, she wore the standard bodyguard uniform, consisting of black and grey armor, metal arm guards and a katana strapped to her back. On her left shoulder, one could see the number nineteen written in black. Even with all these clothes on though, her womanly curves could still be seen.

To Kazehana's right was Ryūzetsu, who had fair skin, waist-length white hair covered by a green bandana with a long curved white stripe, and grey eyes with multiple circular patterns. While she lost to both Kazehana and Yūgao in the breast and hips department, she did beat them both in the waist department with a miraculous 65. She would be considered the ideal woman for any guy who favors a woman's especially with her 92 sized chest and 90 sized hips. Like her teammate, Ryūzetsu donned the same bodyguard uniform with the same armor, guards, and weapon. Both of her arms were bandaged up to her elbows. Unlike Yūgao, Ryūzetsu had the number thirty-seven on her right shoulder instead of the left one.

"Now my first question, I'm sure that many people are wondering as to why someone such as yourself would open his own hospital when you own a global publishing company and other smaller businesses'?" asked the female anchor.

Putting his hands to his chin and scratching it, he finally answered by saying, "I've always wanted to open my own hospital, but my publishing business got me side tracked. Then I realized that there were a lot of people who needed medical attention, but that they did not have the means to go to a hospital. So after some discussions my wife, she and I decided to open a hospital for those who couldn't get standard healthcare."

"So will either you or your wife run the hospital?" asked the reporter.

Grabbing her husband's hand and giving him a loving smile, Kazehana answered for him by saying, "I'm afraid not. With the Asama Global Publishing getting more popular with all the new writers, my husband and I will not have time to fully manage the hospital. So to do so in our stead, I have looked for someone we could trust with its management."

At those words, the hospital's doors slid open, allowing a woman to walk through as she strode briskly towards the group.

"This woman here, Tsunade, is someone whom I handpicked to run the hospital in our absence."

Tsunade was a light-skinned woman of average height with brown eyes and straight, blonde hair tied in two loose ponytails, and a violet rhombus mark on her forehead. She had a slender frame with a rather large bust; 106 centimeters in circumference. She wore a grass-green haori with the kanji for "Heal" written in black on the back, inside a red circle. Underneath, she sported a grey, kimono-style blouse with no sleeves, held closed by a broad, dark bluish-grey obi that matched her pants. Her blouse was closed quite low, revealing a large portion of her sizeable cleavage. She also wore open-toed, strappy black sandals with high heels and red polish on both her fingernails and toenails, and her lips were tastefully covered by a touch of soft pink lipstick.

As the camera focused on Tsunade, the blonde doctor explained, "While Dr. Asama and his wife will not able to actively run the Asama Hospital for the Needy, I will be running the hospital to the best of my ability, and make sure that every patient get the best care available. Thank you."

The camera then turned towards the female anchor who concluded her interview, "You heard it live, Asama Hospital for the Needy is now open. Now back to the studio."


Back inside Izumo Inn, a woman entered the room and grabbed the remote, turning off the television and turning to the young child.

"It's time for your class young master," said the woman. When the child turned around, he looked at the woman and sighed, before asking, "Why do I even need a bodyguard? It's not like someone is going to hurt me."

"We can't be too sure about that Bolt-tan. Someone obviously wanted your parents killed and since they failed they may come after you to hurt them," said a woman with glasses, who then went to stand next to the revealed Bolt bodyguard.


My name is Boruto Asama, but everybody calls me Bolt for short, and I'm 15 years old. Because of my short height, 5 foot 3; I'm considered a shota because of this, I look a lot younger. My parents are the successful Naruto Asama and Kazehana Asama. You see before they were famous they were very adventurous. They travelled all around the world and did many amazing things. That all changed when my mother got pregnant with me; they decided to end their adventures and settle down here in Tokyo. When I was little they used to tell me all kinds of stories about all of their adventures. Because of this I've dreamed to follow in their footsteps and become adventurous myself. You see, I live at Izumo Inn with Aunt Miya Asama, but I would never call her Aunt Miya in front of her. As of right now, I'm a third year student at Tokyo University. For someone my age, it's a big achievement, but seeing as how the Asama family produces geniuses, it's not that big of a surprise.

The woman with the glasses was my Sekirei, #02 Matsu, a brain type sekirei. She had long red hair with side plaits and usually appeared unfashionably dressed, wearing detached sleeves that resemble a cheongsam and glasses. So far, she is my first Sekirei as well as my only one. Next to her was the bodyguard my parents hired for my protection, Samui.

While I don't know a lot about sekireis myself, I do know that sekireis are extraterrestrial super-powered beings with genetic code similar to humans.

Samui was a fair-skinned woman of tall stature and a curvaceous figure who generally had a stoic, aloof expression on her face. She had blue eyes and straight, blonde hair framing her face cut in an asymmetrical bob style, with the front bangs reaching her shoulders. She wore a very low-cut outfit which displayed her sizeable cleavage, which I believe is 95 but I can't be too sure, with mesh armor underneath, a short skirt and red hand guards, high boots, and what appeared to be a modified bodyguard flask jacket that covered her stomach only, similar to a girdle. She also had a tanto strapped horizontally to her lower back. If I had to describe her, I would have said she was someone that hardly showed any emotion and was very strict when it came to my protection. She even went as far as to follow me everywhere I went. Considering how seriously she took her job, I was quite certain she had military training; that's my only explanation so far.

"I don't feel like going today, and besides, why can't Matsu tutor me?" I asked. Seriously, why did I have to go? Matsu could teach me everything I needed to know.

"Because your parents don't trust you with someone as perverted as Matsu. They are afraid that she'll turn you into a pervert like herself," replied my aunt Miya as she walked into the room. After she said that, I noticed that Matsu was pouting. I shuddered when I realized what Matsu would try to do to me if nobody was there to stop her.

Aunt Miya was a slender yet shapely woman with fair-skin and brown eyes. She had waist-length purple hair with shorter bangs in a hime-style. She wore the traditional attire of a miko made of a purple hakama, a white haori with a sash-like belt, wooden sandals and a white ribbon to partially hold her hair in place.

"And I agree with them. Besides, they want you to have social skills."

Then, a demonic visage appeared behind her, and I felt as if some kind of unholy being was ready to unleash their wrath on my poor, innocent soul.

"Now get to class before I'm forced to get my ladle," Aunt Miya spoke in a cold and merciless tone. She smiled wickedly with closed eyes, but even though they were closed, I could still feel an intense fury radiating from them and felt it pierce through my soul.

When we saw that scary mask, Matsu and I quickly hugged each other and started to shudder, tears coming out of our eyes. I nodded my head vehemently and put on a brave face, but you could easily see the fear I was currently feeling on it. I ran the hell out of the room, leaving Matsu alone. When I looked back, I saw that Matsu had a look of betrayal on her face. Quickly facing forward, I went to get my things.

"Sorry Matsu, but better you than me." I thought.


With Bolt out of the room, Miya turned towards Samui and asked, "Does his parents have any suspects for the attack?"

"One, they believe that Higa is the responsible, but he didn't leave any evidence to connect him to it. So right now they are making sure that they are prepared for anything," Samui responded.

"Have they been able to find any information on him?" asked a worried Matsu.

Samui shook her head left and right.

"I'm afraid not, but they are starting to believe that he has a brain type sekirei, or at least an ashikabi that has one and are working together."

"Does Bolt have any suspicion about the women that are working for his father?"

Miya shook her head, "Right now he is suspicious about the women, but I don't believe that he thinks they are sekirei, seeing as he hasn't figured that you're one."

"That's good. Naruto and Kazehana want him to live a comfortable life as much as possible until he is fully dragged into the Sekirei Plan."

"They can't keep treating him as if he's still a little child" Matsu said worryingly. She'd rather have her Ashikabi aware of the Plan and ready to face it, than him be unaware and get dragged into it without vital information.

"I understand your concerns, but they are working their hardest to make sure that nothing bad happens to him. Kazehana is stressing herself out; because she hasn't spent that much time with him, and Naruto has to keep her calm before she does something dangerous," Samui said with a blank stare.

"They want me to tell you to hack into Bolt's university and watch over him. They believe that there may be a sekirei in there, but due to my limited freedom of movement in the school we don't know if she's a threat or not," Samui replied while turning to Matsu.

"I'll hack into the camera system and watch over him," Matsu nodded. She ran upstairs to her room. While the sekirei plan was just beginning, there were many unknown elements that worried her, and she refused to let her Ashikabi get harmed if she could prevent it.

"Thank you," Samui said as Matsu went to her room. She asked Miya, "Has he shown any abilities so far?"

"Not right now, but it could possibly be any day now," Samui nodded her head, then went to stand in front of the door.

When Bolt finally came down, he left with Samui behind him, but not before he announced his leaving to Miya and Matsu.


At Tokyo University Bolt stared at his classroom window and saw Samui standing by the gate entrance. He started focusing on the professor lecture; when suddenly, he started to shudder. He started feeling that someone was watching him. Turning around, he saw that the new student who just transferred into his class was glaring at him. The new student, who also happened to have red hair, saw that he was looking at her. She glared back harder, causing him to turn back around.

"What's her problem, I don't even know her and yet she's glaring at me," he thought, before shaking his head. Better focus on that mystery later.

Looking back at the professor, he started to write down notes.

When class was over Bolt stood up quickly to leave the room when one of his friends called him. Sighing, he waited for his friends to catch up to him. Standing in front of his group of friends, who happened to be mostly girls, it started to remind him of his short height.

"Hey Bolt-chan, would you like to go to eat lunch with us?" one of the girls asked.

"I can't today," he sighed.

"Oh come on Bolt-chan; we need a cute boy with us," another girl pouted. Said girl then bent down and started hugging him while cooing and calling him cute.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" a guy asked.

"Isn't it obvious? Bolt-chan is the cutest guy in the whole school. You and the others can't compare to him in turns of cuteness," the first girl replied. After that, she and the other girls of the group stated hugging him, causing the other guys to become jealous.

Waving his hands around, the girls let him go to give him some room to breathe. After catching his breath, he asked the group, "Do anyone one of you know that new student with the red hair?"

Looking at each other they said, "No, why are asking?"

"Because during class I started to notice she was glaring at me; and when I turned back to look at her, she glared harder. I thought one of you knew her and could talk to her for me," he said.

"Impossible, there is no way anyone could glare at someone this cute," one of the girls said.

Another girl continued with "Maybe she's a tsundere who has a crush on you and can't correctly express it."

"I don't think she's one. Anyways I'll eat lunch with you tomorrow, but today I'm busy," Bolt said.

"Alright Bolt-chan, but you better mean it," one girl said.

"I promise," Bolt reassured his group of girls. After he said that, the group of friends left him to get some ice cream. But before the girls left, they gave him a kiss on the cheeks and giggled. When the males walked past him, one of them ruffled his hair. Feeling that, he slapped his hand and gave him a glare, causing the boy responsible to laugh. Bolt walked to the school entrance, but someone suddenly bumped into him, causing him to fall on the ground. Looking up to see who he had collided with, he saw that it was the girl that always glared at him.

"Watch where you're going dipshit," growled the redhead. The girl left Bolt and left through the door, but if you were to look at her cheeks you would see that it was flushed. Getting back on his feet, he started to get angry, but quickly got it under control before he could make a scene, although his fists were clenched quite hard.

"You're the one who bumped into me," he angrily thought.

Walking outside, he was greeted by the Samui, the girl from before nowhere in sight.

"Do you have everything you need?" politely asked the bodyguard, her face set in her usual cold mask.

"I got everything." Nodded Bolt distractedly.

"Good, your parents would like to meet you right now, so we're going to their office," said his bodyguard.

Bolt was surprised. While he knew his parents loved him, they hadn't spent that much time together with him as he got older. He knew that they had to work hard to keep the company running; which led to him to staying at his aunt's inn. He was beginning to see them less and less nowadays, especially since they had their own house. Although calling it a house wasn't exactly right; it was more like a huge mansion. The only reason why he didn't live there with them was because sometimes they had to work so late that they slept at the top floor of their company; it acted as a second house. Because of this, they didn't like him staying home alone. So they made him stay with his aunt.

The amount of time that he did spend with them was quite limited, but they always had time for him during special events; like birthdays. Following Samui, he saw that a limo was waiting for them. The bodyguard opened the door for him and he got in, then she followed him inside. Their ride was mostly silent, Bolt mulling over what had happened at school, while Samui seemed content to stay silent.


When they did arrive at the building, Bolt had to refrain from gaping, no matter how many times he saw it, he was always amazed by how tall the building was. Getting outside the limo, Samui waited for Bolt to finish gaping and then led him inside. As they entered, Bolt wasn't surprised by the amount of people walking around, despite the sheer number of people present. Walking towards the elevator, he was easily recognized by the employees who waved or greeted him, gestures he returned by habit.

Arriving at the 55th floor, he was greeted by the two bodyguards the public, and himself, had been introduced to by the news earlier.

"Good evening Bolt-sama." Greeted Yugâo, as she and her counterpart bowed.

Greeting them back, he asked, "Where are mom and dad?"

"Follow us please," Ryūzetsu answered the teen.

Nodding, he and Samui followed them, Bolt noticing that they seemed to be the only people present.

"It would make sense; the only time any one of my parents' employees are here on this floor is either if they are having a meeting here, or if they need to tell them something," he thought.

Reaching the end of the hallway, Yūgao opened the door for them. Walking in, Bolt saw his father's secretary, Mabui, standing in front of her desk picking up papers.

Mabui was a dark-skinned young woman with green eyes. She favored a very formal attire consisting of a long-sleeved, high-collared dress shirt and skirt, along with a pair of long earrings and sandals. She wore her light grey hair pulled back into a bun with two bangs that fell on either side of her face. She had C borderline D size cup chest and had curves that many of the female employees of the company envied.

For as long as he could remember, he and Mabui had always been close. When he was younger and he came here with his parents she would always play with him. Even though she was his dad's secretary he had always allowed her to play with him. As he got older, he started to notice how important she was to his father's company. She made sure that everything was in order and that everyone was doing their job. He knew that she even made sure that his parents had time to spend with him, even if it wasn't that much. Even though she was just a secretary, she held a lot of sway within the company itself.

Running towards her, he happily yelled, "Mabui-chan!"

Hearing someone saying her name, she turned around and was hugged by an enthusiastic Bolt, although due to the blonde's short size, he only reached up to her stomach.

While still being hugged, she asked, "How are you Bolt-chan?"

Letting her go and backing away, he smiled and said "I'm fine. Do you know why mom and dad called me here?"

She smiled back and replied, "I'm afraid not. Come, I'll let them know you are here."

Walking around her desk, she pressed a button and waited for a reply. When she finally did hear a reply, Naruto's voice was heard and said "What I can do for you?"

Answering, she said "I have Bolt-chan and Samui here."

"Send them in," a buzzing sound could be heard from the door next to Mabui's desk as it unlocked itself, the silver-haired secretary opening the door and ushering Bolt and Samui in.

When they entered, Bolt was instantly smothered by his mother. She kept asking him question after question about how he was doing without giving him time to answer. Watching from his desk, Naruto smiled warmly as his wife smothered their son with her huge chest. He missed spending time with his son, but with the company expending over the years, he had more work to do to make sure that it didn't go under. When he saw his son flailing his hands around, Naruto couldn't help but chuckle. She stood up and placed a hand on his wife's shoulder.

"Honey, you're suffocating him," he warned her. Looking at her son, Kazehana let him go, gave a little laugh, and said, "Sorry Bolt-chan."

Catching his breath, he said, "It's okay mom. How come I had to be here?"

Walking towards her husband, Kazehana said in a worried tone, "We wanted to make sure that there hasn't been any incident and everything is normal."

"Like having a bodyguard that's always following you around isn't anything out of the ordinary." he thought.

Bolt then looked at his parents and asked, "How long is Samui-san going to be watch over me anyways?"

"Until your father and I believe that you are out of danger."

"But there hasn't been anything suspicious. Maybe that incident with dad was a one-time thing." Tried to argue the teen, who did not appreciate having someone following him everywhere.

"You can't be too careful, your mom and I have been investigating and we believe we know the person who hired those guys, but he didn't have any real proof." Tried to placate Naruto, whose face had grown harder at the mention of the person he believed to be responsible for the attack.

"Then who is it? Maybe I can help," Bolt said in an excited voice. He wouldn't mind some action, it would change being constantly kept away from anything his family considered dangerous.

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" yelled Kazehana. The room grew silent, as Naruto massaged his wife's shoulders in comfort.

Calming herself, Kazehana continued, "We hired Samui to protect you, if we have you do something this dangerous then it makes the whole purpose of hiring her useless."

"Your mother is right son, you can't help us," Naruto stood beside his wife.

"WHY DO YOU BOTH TREAT ME LIKE A LITTLE KID?" Bolt finally exploded. He was a teen, not an errant toddler! The room returned to silence again as parent and child had a staring contest.

Taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Bolt said in a quieter tone "I'm 15, I can handle myself."

"No matter what age you are you will always be my little boy," said a teary Kazehana. She didn't want anything to happen to her precious boy. Her husband had already been attacked and she nearly lost him. The last thing she wanted was for her son to be put in the same danger.

"Well I'm not a little kid anymore, it's time that you both start treating me with respect," was the response they received, as their son glared at them.

Sighing Naruto looked at his son. Even though he was fifteen, he still remembered that little boy that used to run to him and his wife when they came back from work. But his wife was right, he would still be their little boy even when he was all wrinkled and over sixty. The fact that his son's appearance made him look like a little boy also didn't help his case.

Naruto dried his wife's tears and quietly whispered in her ear.

"I have a plan that will make us all happy; don't worry."

Kazehana listened to her husband and trusted his words. She nodded and received a gentle kiss on the cheek. Naruto turned to his son.

"I guess you're right son. Tell you what; I'll recall Samui, and if there isn't any incident for the next 2-3 weeks, she will no longer be your bodyguard. However, if there is even one incident, then you go back to having a bodyguard without any more complaints. Do we have a deal?"

"Yes" grinned a happy Bolt.

"NARUTO NO, I will not allow our son to not have any protection when there is someone is after out head!" Kazehana yelled. She still trusted her husband's words and played along with his plan.

Trying to calm his 'upset' wife, he said "Think about this Kazehana, we don't give him some space to grow, he's going to resent us. He needs space to grow as a man, especially when he will one day take over our company."

Kazehana turned her head away and let her tears fall down her cheeks.

"Fine, but remember Bolt; if there is even one incident, there will be no complaints about having a bodyguard, understand?" She asked her son, who nodded happily. Naruto massaged his wife's shoulders again and pulled her into an embrace.

After spending time with his parents and them asking all type of questions such as, was he making sure eat healthy, was he dating anybody (he believed his parents didn't know about Matsu being a sekirei, but he had started to become suspicious with all the beautiful women surrounding his dad), and if he had been causing Miya any trouble, he decided to take his leave. He hugged his mother and kissed her cheek while giving his father a manly high-five and receiving another hair ruffling.

When he left his parents' company he realized it was dark outside, so he went into the limo from earlier and headed home.


When their son left their office, Kazehana stood in front of Naruto and slammed her hands on the desk.

"You have ten seconds to tell me this plan of yours and you had better hope I like it."

Wind could be heard whirling around her as things started to get knocked off their places on the furniture.

"Come down Kazehana," Naruto grasped her hand and rubbed it gently.

"COME DOWN, COME DOWN YOU JUST TOOK AWAY THE ONLY THING THAT WAS CURRENTLY PROTECTING OUR SON WHEN HE'S OUTSIDE NARUTO. SO DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME TO COME DOWN!" she yelled.

"I told you I have a plan." Naruto said and kissed his wife's hand. The wind started to calm down. Naruto cupped Kazehana's chin and raised her head so their eyes could meet.

"Do you really think I would let our son go out without some kind of protection? Am I that heartless to you now?"

Kazehana stared into her husband's sparkling blue eyes and gave him an apologetic yet solemn look. She wrapped her arms around his waist and gripped the back of his top tightly.

"I'm just so worried about him. I nearly lost you last time; I don't want my son getting into trouble either. I don't want anything happening to you two. You both mean the world to me," she cried. Naruto hugged her back and gently stroked her long beautiful hair.

"I'm planning to have Samui watch over him from a distance. This way, if he's in any danger, she'll be right there to help him. She would also be giving us status reports while she's watching him."

Sniffing, Kazehana hugged her husband even tighter while Naruto tried to dry her tears.

"I can't help it; we rarely see him enough as it is; I can't stand him being hurt," Kazehana cried.

"I know; that's why we'll be doing everything in our power to help him from behind the scene," Naruto kissed her forehead. He then looked at her and gave her a loving kiss on the lips.

When he kissed her lips, wings of light suddenly burst of her back while illuminating the entire room. They pulled back and embraced once more before Naruto turned towards Samui and signaled her to go make sure that Bolt got home safe, but not before giving her a kiss on the lips as well.


On his way home, Bolt looked outside his limo window and saw a woman sitting at the park with blood on her clothes.

"Why is she covered in blood? Does it belong to her or someone else?" were the worrying thoughts that suddenly chilled him to the bone.

He wanted to help her but he remembered about the deal he had just made with his father.

All of a sudden Bolt remembered something his father once said to him when he was younger.


Flashback Begins

It was a rainy afternoon, the rain was pouring so much that even the news recommended that everybody say indoors.

Inside Izumo Inn Naruto was watching his wife playing with their son in his room. Watching them play the blonde then called Bolt towards him, and the young boy ran straight to him. Crunching down and giving his son a hug Naruto then picked him up and went to his wife. Putting Bolt on Kazehana's lap he looked at him very seriously, and explained very carefully:

"Bolt, one day you will meet someone that will change your life. It will be your choice in whether you let that person in your life or not."

"Why?" a confused Bolt asked.

"Because if you let that person enter your life then your normal life will be over, but that person will help you reach your full potential."

"Full potential?" ask the younger blonde as he tilted his head sideways, the cute gesture making his mother coo at how adorable he was.

"Yes, you see Bolt, everyone in our family has some kind of special power and because of that we can do things that other people can't. But the only way we can use our special powers is if we find someone special to help us unlock it."

"Did mommy help you unlock your special power?" asked the excited Bolt, bouncing on his mother's lap as he looked between her and his father.

Looking at his lovely wife and his bandaged hand he answered with a smile "Yes, she did."

Removing himself from his mother's lap Bolt started jumping in excitement and asking his father "What is it? What is it? What is it?"

Seeing that their son wasn't going to let her husband answer, Kazehana put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down. When he finally did calm down, Naruto grinned.

"I'll tell you when you're older." After saying that the older blond ruffled Bolt's hair making it look messier, and making his son pout.

"Wait daddy, what if I don't let that person in my life? Can I still use my special power?" suddenly asked the young blond, looking worried that he might not get to use his family's awesome powers.

Staring at Bolt for a few seconds,Naruto finally replied:

"Yes, but it won't be as strong."

"Why?" whined Bolt. While he was happy he would still be able to use special powers, he wanted the BEST special power.

"Because the bond you two create will awaken that power." Smiled Naruto, ruffling his son's hair affectionately, knowing that he wouldn't understand his words for a long time.

"Then how will I know when I meet that person?"

"Don't worry, your hands will let you know." answered the older blond, smiling.

At those words, Bolt seemed completely lost and looked down at his hands, his young mind unable to understand how the appendages would let him know if someone was special or not.

As Bolt was lost in his memories, his left hands started to hurt. Rubbing it to ease the pain, he told the driver to get to Izumo Inn quickly, hoping that Miya or Matsu would know what was happening to him. Outside, the girl's forehead started to glow. The more the limo drove, the less pain Bolt's felt, and the less the mysterious girl's forehead glowed.

Arriving at the inn, Bolt got out of the limo and was greeted by a smiling Miya and Matsu. Walking towards them he was suddenly hugged by a crying Matsu, who used the occasion to rub certain "places" she usually wasn't allowed to touch, bawling her eyes out. Asking her what was wrong, she started telling him how Miya was using the terrifying mask on her for talking out loud and describing what she was going to do to him for making her worried.

"I bet you were saying dirty things." he thought.

Standing in front of Bolt, Miya had her hand in front of her mouth and teasingly said, "Oh my; don't tell me you were doing something dangerous Bolt-kun." All of a sudden a familiar sensation of dread and despair washed over the blonde, making him gulp as he saw darkness begin to coalesce behind Miya, forming the beginnings of the dread hannya, "Because I would have to punish you."

Slowly backing in fear, he stuttered out, "No, no I had to visit mom and dad."

"About what?" she asked.

"They wanted to make sure that I was doing alright and wasn't causing you any trouble" he said.

"Oh my, I hope you were honest with them" smiled the lavender-haired landlady, the aura of her mask pulsing ominously.

"Of course. They decided that I no longer need a bodyguard." Bolt boasted, puffing up his chest proudly.

"I guess now that you're no longer being watched, you might now act on your beastly urges." Teased the landlady, her mask vanishing.

"Have some faith in me Aunt Maya; I'm not Matsu" deadpanned the blond.

"Hey!" screamed Matsu. She then went on her knees and started crying, mumbling that she wasn't that bad.

"Aunt? I have no idea of what you mean Bolt-kun; its Miya nee-chan, you got it," Miya gave him a scary smile that promised pain if he didn't agree with her.

Shaking his head very fast, Bolt said, "Yes, yes, I'll remember from now on, nee-chan."

"Good. I would hate to send you to bed without dinner." she replied smiling.

After their little conservation, they went inside. While Miya made dinner, Bolt looked around the living room. Looking at Matsu, he asked, "Where are Uzume and Kagari?"

"Uzume is at the hospital visiting a friend of hers while Kagari is working right now."

"Can I ask you something Matsu?"

"Sure Bolt-tan." grinned the redhead, "Tell everything to Matsu."

Rubbing both his hand together he said, "When the limo drove right by the park, my left hand started to hurt when I saw this girl sitting at the bench. Do you know what that could mean?"

Removing her glasses from her face, she looked at Bolt and said, "It could mean that there might be something important about the girl. Even though I've known your parents for only two years, I've heard Miya say that your father always had a way of sensing when something important is going to happen."

Looking at his hands, he said, "But when I saw her, I felt sadness coming from her."

"Well, what are you going to do?" asked Matsu, leaning back in a way that made her attire strain around her chest.

"What do you mean?"

"You always say that you wanted to be adventurous like your parents. Well this could be your chance."

Looking down, he said, "I don't know."

If he was paying close attention to both hands, he would have seen a horizontal line started to form on his palms. The pair were so distracted by their conversation that they didn't pay attention to a rubber duck hidden on a piece of furniture, recording their every word.


"Thank you Miya. I'll make sure that someone is watching Bolt tonight," replied Naruto, after saying that he hanged up the phone.

From behind him, a woman with blond hair hugged him from behind and put her chin on his shoulder. She then asked, "Is everything alright Naru-kun?"

"Everything is alright Samui-chan. Miya called and said that she overheard Bolt say that his hands started to hurt when he saw a woman at the park on the ride to the inn."

Turning around, Naruto saw that Samui was clad in nothing but a yellow see through night gown.

Cupping her chin he leaned in and gave her a loving kiss. When their lips connected, Samui's Sekirei crest lighted up, displaying a vibrant gold wing.

"Yūgao," he called, "I would like you to trail Bolt. He should be going to the park."

"At once, darling." Nodded the purple-haired woman, leaving the room.

"It's starting?" asked a worried Kazehana.

Scratching the back of his head and giving a nervous laugh, Naruto replied.

"Yes," walking to her, he hugged his wife and said, "Don't worry; we have faith that he can handle himself, and if he needs help, we'll be there for him."

Kazehana gave her husband a sweet kiss, making her purple wings of light sprout from her back.

"We'll always be there for him, just like I will always be there for you," she whispered and kissed him again.


While sleeping, Bolt had a dream about a woman, but her whole figure was completely black, except for the sekirei crest on her forehead. Looking around, he saw that they were in a park. He walked towards her and noticed that for every step he took, the brightness of her crest grew, a glow slowly spreading from it, and the more his hands hurt. When he got face to face with her, he could no longer take the pain and woke up sweating.

Looking at his hand, he asked, "What was that? What does she has to do with my hand hurting?"

For a moment, he thought about going outside and finding her to solve the mystery, but realized he could be in serious trouble with Miya for sneaking out. As curious as he was, he wasn't sure the answers to his question were worth getting subject to his Aunt's hannya.

As he pondered on what he should do, his thoughts drifted back to his earlier conversation with Matsu.

"Well, what are you going to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"You always said that you wanted to be adventurous like your parents, well this could be your chance."

Flashback Ends


Making up his mind, he slipped outside his room and made it to the balcony. Seeing the Sakura tree right next to him Bolt looked around to see if anybody was near him. Seeing nothing, he jumped on the tree, using it as a makeshift ladder to reach the ground. Once he was on the ground, he once again looked around, before hurriedly making his way to the park.

While watching Bolt run towards the park, Miya and Matsu were looking on.

"Are you sure it's safe letting him go outside searching for her in the dark?" questioned a worried Matsu. She was confident her Ashikabi could handle himself, but you never knew what kind of bad encounter you could make at this hour of the night.

"Yes, when he told you about his hand hurting earlier, I started to realize that they had a special connection even though she is a "scrapped" sekirei," answered Miya.

Facing the slightly older woman, Matsu asked, "There's more isn't there?"

"Yes," nodded the lavenderette, "Ever since Bolt was born, I realized that there was something special about him, just like Naruto and Takehito. You have a very special ashikabi there Matsu."

Looking at the night sky, Matsu couldn't help but smile and say, "I know."

"Do you know that there is a chance that he could face trouble out there?" said a worried Miya

Matsu smiled and said "That's why I left him a surprise."


Making it to the park, Bolt looked around for the woman, and, spotting her at the exact same place that he had seen her in earlier, he briskly walked towards her.

When he reached her, he saw that she had short, light brown hair and her face was kept in a blank, depressed expression. Her clothes consisted of only a lab coat that had blood stains on it. The most noticeable thing about her besides the blood was the crimson Sekirei mark adorning her forehead.

Hearing someone huffing, the woman raised her head and saw the one huffing was a boy barely in his teens. They made eye contact, and the sekirei mark on her forehead started to glow. They stared at each other for a while until Bolt decided to talk.

"Um, hi." was Bolt's nervous greeting, scratching the back of his head and unintentionally copying his father.

"…."

Waiting for a few moments Bolt soon realized that she wasn't going to reply back. Trying a different approach Bolt crouched in front of her and asked:

"Why are you all alone?"

"….. broken" was the woman's soft answer, most of her words were lost in the slight blowing breeze.

"What? How are you broken?"

"…..can't find ashikabi, can't be winged." Muttered the woman, her expression looking as blank as before, although there was some despair in her voice.

"Why?"

"…"

Seeing that she wasn't going to answer, he decided to ask her something else. Pointing at the crimson splotches of blood covering the once pristine lab coat, he asked:

"Where did you get that blood from?"

"… escaped" answered the woman, her eyes and face still not showing the slightest glimpse of emotion other than despair.

"Escaped? Escaped from where?" insisted Bolt, hoping that by doing so, he would at least understand where the woman came from.

"… from scientists"

Looking at her, Bolt started to piece everything together. Wherever she came from, she had fled, and she had had to either seriously injure or kill someone, most likely a scientist, to escape. As the lab coat fluttered in the wind, he caught sight of MBI's logo, confusing him.

Why would a MBI scientist try to hurt a sekirei?" he questioned.

Looking at her, he couldn't help but admit that she was an attractive woman.

"It's likely that the scientist got a little grabby and tried to wing her. I remember that Matsu said that a sekirei's ashikabi is everything to them. So when he tried to wing her, he probably did something to her that caused her sekirei crest to appear on her forehead instead of her neck. She probably fought back and injured him" he guessed.

"What's your name?" he asked, taking care to be as gentle as possible.

"…. Akitsu."

"Do you want an ashikabi Akitsu?"

"…can't be winged, broken." She repeated, although there was a glimpse of hope in her eyes.

"But even if you can't be winged, if an ashikabi wanted you to join them, would you?"

She gave him a blank stare but slowly nodded, "Ah….. yes."

Smiling, Bolt asked, "Do you have a purpose in life Akitsu?"

Looking at him, she said, "Ah…..no."

Reaching his hand towards her, he said, "Join me and I'll help you find one."

She looked at his hand for a few seconds and then reached for it. Their hands fit together rather perfectly. Despite her appearance, Bolt noticed that Akitsu's hands were somewhat warm for someone who had been outside in nothing but a lab coat. Pulling her up, the teen didn't notice that her crest looked a little bit faded; but not enough for it to be noticeable.

Bolt then said with a smile, "Well then Akitsu, let's get you something clean to wear and food to eat."

After he said that, a rumble could be heard from Akitsu's stomach. Hearing that, Bolt started to laugh. Getting ready to go home, they were suddenly stopped when they heard a voice shout, "Get away from my sekirei!"

Turning around, they saw two males walk out of the shadows. The shortest one was a slim teenager of average height with brown hair. He wore a shirt with an adjustable hood and a pair of jeans while the tallest male has messy silver colored hair and grey eyes. The latter was equipped with a sword. His outfit consisted of black pants and a long sleeved shirt of the same color. The shirt was open in the front, stopping just a few inches below his solar plexus, with crisscrossing bands of leather forming an 'X'. The sleeves near his shoulders had a single band around them. Sitting almost lazily on his waist is a belt that looked more like an accessory than an actually functioning one. It sat slightly askew, the left side riding lower on his hip than the right, and the ends were tied together by a leather string. The only other distinguishing features about his clothing were the black fingerless gloves he sported, and the orange scarf wrapped around his neck and shoulders.

Getting in front of Akitsu, Bolt asked both men, "Who are you?"

The shorter male scowled, "It doesn't matter. Back away from my toy and I'll let you go without being hurt."

"What do you mean toy?" Bolt frowned deeply.

"That girl behind you."

Understanding who he was talking about, Bolt clinched his fist and yelled, "Like hell I'll let you have Akitsu!"

Turning towards the taller male, the short one said, "Mutsu, get rid of him,"

"It's against the rules to attack any non-sekirei, Mikogami-sama," tried to explain thee swordsman, although there was a look of resignation on his face, as if he knew that his master wouldn't listen to him.

When Mutsu looked at Bolt he couldn't help but feel as though he had met him before.

"He looks familiar. Is he the kid of someone I know?" he mused.

Whining, the shorter one said, "It doesn't matter. Rules are meant to be broken anyway. Besides, I want to add her to my collection."

"Wait wait, is your name Hayato Mikogami?" questioned Bolt.

"So you've heard of me. Tell you what; since you know who you're dealing with, I'll allow you to leave unharmed, but she stays" said a smug looking Mikogami.

"Like hell I'll leave Akitsu-chan" yelled Bolt. When Akitsu heard chan in her name, she started to develop a little blush. "I knew that name sounded familiar. You're that rich spoiled kid that is always on the news."

Being upset by calling a spoiled brat the teen turned to Mutsu and told him in an angry voice.

"Make sure you make him regret calling me a spoiled brat."

Facing Bolt and Akitsu, the one named Mutsu bowed and said, "It's nothing personal, but I have to follow my ashikabi's orders."

With that, he grabbed his sheathed sword and raced to his intended targets. Acting on instincts Akitsu formed iced shards and directed them towards Mutsu.

Seeing the ice shard coming towards him, Mutsu was forced to change tactics and dodge.


Unnoticed to the two ashikabis and sekireis, they were being watched.

"Let's see what you're made of dipshit" said a red haired girl.

"You wanted to be seen as an adult Bolt. Now show us that you can be one," Yūgao said while watching Mutsu using his sheath sword to parry some of Akitsu's ice shards away.


"He's strong, but as long as Akitsu can keep her distance, she won't have any problems," Bolt thought.

However, as the fight went on, he started to notice something was wrong with Akitsu.

"She's panting," he realized. "Now that I think about it, I don't know how long since she's eaten, or how long since she escaped MBI."

He noticed Akitsu's attacks were going slower and weaker by the minute, allowing Mutsu to get closer and closer.


Flashback Begins

"Listen Bolt, if you're ever in a situation where your sekirei can't win a battle, target the ashikabi." Said a very serious Matsu.

"What do you mean?" Bolt responded with a slight tilt of his head. Matsu further explained.

"When a sekirei sees their ashikabi in danger, they will instinctively try to protect them. This will create an opening that you or your sekirei can exploit. You don't really have to try to hurt the ashikabi, just make it seems that they are in danger."

Flashback Ends


Looking at Mikogami, Bolt started thinking of a way to make Mutsu abandon Akitsu and protect his ashikabi instead. Feeling his shirt and pants to see if he had anything on him he felt something circular in his pants. Digging into his pocket, he found an object with a note attached to it.

"When you throw it make sure you don't look, love Matsu XX". Bolt smiled and took aim.

"Thank you Matsu, I hope this works." he prayed.

Akitsu suddenly dropped on one knee and panted while Mutsu closed in on her.

"You did well for someone in your current condition. I'm sorry, but I have to end this," he apologized. Bolt smirked as he noticed Mutsu paying full attention to Akitsu. Time to put his plan into action. When Mutsu raced to finish Akitsu, Bolt looked at Mikogami.

"Hey brat!" Bolt yelled.

Looking at Bolt to insult him back, Mikogami was surprised when he saw Bolt throw a circular object at him. He could hear it beeping and paled at what he thought it was. About halfway before he reached Akitsu Mutsu suddenly heard Bolt's voice. He saw the beeping object heading towards his ashikabi and abandoned Akitsu, rushing to protest his master. He got in front of his ashikabi and prepared to slash the object, when suddenly, the object created a huge blinding flash.

"Aaahhh!" yelled both Mikogami and Mutsu. With both pairs temporarily blinded. Bolt ran towards Akitsu and put her arm around his neck to support her

"Come on and let's escape while they're blind."


"It seems that you really are smart after all dipshit," said the red haired girl. When she saw that the two had managed to escape while Mutsu and his ashikabi were cleaning their eyes, she decided that she has seen enough and went home.

"Well done Bolt," said a smiling Yūgao. She then disappeared to report back to Naruto.


Clearing his eyes and blinking quickly to try and regain his sight, Mikogami started throwing a fit.

"I want you to find that brat and show him his place. Now Mutsu!" yelled a stomping Mikogami.

"He escaped already Mikogami-sama; and besides, we don't know where they went," replied Mutsu, who shook his head.

Turning around huffing and walking back to his limo, Mikogami had one thing on his mind.

"I'll make him pay for humiliating me," was Mikogami's angry promise.


Making it back inside Izumo Inn, Bolt found a place for Akitsu to sit while he searched for something to feed her. He made sure to stay absolutely quiet, as the very last thing he wanted to do is disturb his auntie, or even worse… receive the dreaded ladle.

While Akitsu was eating he went to his parent's room and brought one of his mother old clothes for Akitsu to wear. He couldn't exactly leave her clad in only a lab coat that looked moments away from giving out and was covered in blood.

After feeding Akitsu, she yawned, signifying she was ready to sleep. Bolt once again put her arm around his neck and carried her to his room, where he shared a bed with her.

Kissing her forehead Bolt said, "Good night Akitsu."

"….. night ashikabi-sama" was her weak reply. The teen stared at her sleeping face and found it adorable. He couldn't help but smile and take the spot next to her. He pulled the covers up to his chest and kissed Akitsu's forehead once more before completely drifting to sleep. He has one thought on his mind

"Dad, maybe she's the one."
