Note: Sasuke is Road to Ninja Sasuke.


On a tranquil night surrounding Shinto Teito, a young man was sitting down on a wooden bench at a semi-secluded area around one of the parks located around the southern part of the city. His dark black eyes were staring at the crescent moon that illuminates the night sky. His expression was blank as if he was contemplating deeply about something. Then, a shuffling sound was heard coming from the direction of the trees right across the man, awakening him from his deep trance.

Curious, he peered into the darkness as the approaching figure came closer, revealing a female who was only wearing an oversize, dirty lab coat as an attire, which almost exposed all of her creamy white skin. She was walking towards him with her light brown hair swayed across her eyes that's devoid of life.

The man couldn't help but be mesmerized of how beautiful the woman was. He noticed blank look that she was giving. 'How can such a woman have such sadness behind those beautiful eyes?' he thought.

Making up his mind, he decided to approach her. "Hello, miss, are you ok? Is there anything I could do to help such a beauty?" He said as he gently smiled at her. Only then does her eyes made contact with his, making the man's heart leap. He looked away, unable to resist such gaze coming from her. He glanced at the rest her pristine body and notices her lack of attire.

"Oh my, we can't have you walking around naked, can we?" He teased as he went in front of her and button the dirty lab coat, covering her exposed body. "That's better." He smiled. He sat back down on the bench and looked at her. "Would you accompany this lonely guy on this nice evening, miss? He motioned her to do the same, in which she nodded after a moment of silence between them.

"The moon looks great tonight, isn't it?" He glanced at the moon briefly before chuckling in realization of his blunder. "Where are my manners? I forgot to introduce myself." He got up from his seat and stood in front of the woman. "The name is Uchiha Sasuke." He gave a bow like that of a butler. "May I know the name of thy fair maiden?" He asked looking at her enticing eyes.

The lady gave a look of confusion as to why she was being treated this way. Suddenly, a sound on growling noise was heard. The lady blushed as she realized where the noise was coming from, trying to cover up her embarrassment, she answered. "Ah… Akitsu." Sasuke chuckled a bit and offered her some melon bread and a bottle of water he bought earlier as he was planning on hanging around the park for quite some time. She accepted it after some insistence on the matter. "So what brought you here on this wonderful night, miss Akitsu?" He gently asked.

Pale blue eyes blinked in confusion as she gazed at the man before her, did he not know she was broken, unwanted, unable to meet her destined one, unable to protect the one she loves? After a brief moment of silence, she softly replied.

"Ah ... I'm here because I have nowhere else to go. I am unwanted, unneeded, unable to find and be with my beloved ..." She replied, wondering why she felt compelled, rather, felt right to tell him about her worries.

Sasuke felt his heart churned in pain when he heard her answer. "What makes you say that? I'm sure with a lot of fishes in the sea, there's always one that's bound to swim their way into your heart." He questioned.

An awkward pause settled in for a few seconds, before she rubbed the strange tattoo on her forehead. "Ah ... This seal marks me as broken ... Unable to see, to feel my Ashikabi ..." She replied, her voice flat.

'A tattoo? ... No it's more like a seal, even without using my sharingan I could feel some kind of energy accumulating there. But what does it do? Seems like it's similar to what Neji used to have ...' He shook his head. He wasn't one who meddles with one's problem, let alone someone he recently acquainted with. 'No matter, I shouldn't pursue this matter, I'm sure it's a complicated and sensitive subject for her.'

While Sasuke racked his brain for something that might cheer her up or change the topic, Akitsu was having a internal struggle. 'Why do I feel safe when I'm with him? I'm sure he'll just leave me sooner or later… after all, who would want a broken tool like me?'

Suddenly awakened from her stupor, she noticed that Sasuke was staring at her. Embarrassed, she looked away, face blushing. 'What's with those eyes? Why does it feels so warm?'. Sasuke chuckled at her antics and looked back at the moon. "Would you like hear a song?" He asked. "My voice may not be artist material but I'm confident enough in my singing."

After brief moment of silence, Akitsu nodded in confirmation, seeing that she had nothing to lose.

PLAY: Fast Forward by MONKEY MAJIK

English translated by Nurarihyon no Mago wiki

Do you wish

For someone to understand you?

You sought for it again, why did you give it up?

No matter what the future is, it'll definitely change

By surviving the present,

I negate the spreading darkness within the turning gears of fate

With all my strength

That's my own dream

If you make your time stand still

You'll know that it's time

And I don't want to

Makes me feel

I wonder when the scenery that flashes past became unchanged

I soundlessly released my power

And cut apart that fear

I wonder when that loud throbbing of my heart stopped

And disappeared so easily

I don't know where I'll go but I'll make it worth my time

End Song

A moment of silence existed between them with different thoughts racing in their minds. The stars were shining bright over Shinto Teito as the pale cerulean woman sat on the bench, full of mixed emotions despite her nonchalant look.

'Why did he do all that for me, a broken tool?' She asked herself as she drifted her thought to Sasuke himself. A faint blush appeared on her face as her heart raced a bit. 'Why am I starting to feel this way?'

Similar thoughts were arising from Sasuke as stood a few feet away from Akitsu. 'Why did I do that? I know I'm a flirt like Menma said, but I never go this far for a lady ... even if she does look like a goddess.' He looked at the moon, strangely comforted. 'I hope everyone is ok at home… after all, I did sacrifice myself to save that emo Menma from being sucked in Madara's Kamui ... I do not even know how am I alive after all these years ...' Taking a deep breath, Sasuke turned to look at the brunette, mesmerized by the beauty staring back at him. 'But if Kami gave me a second chance to live, then I guess I just have to live this life to the fullest eh? 'He smirked as he walked towards the brunette.

Akitsu was in deep thought when Sasuke approached her. A sudden yelp escaped her lips when he poked the side of her flawless cheeks. She then heard a heartwarming chuckle coming from the raven- haired man, which in turn made her blush even more. She felt her heart fluttered, beating faster than ever before as if it were reacting to him. 'What is this feeling? Could he be ...?' She shook that thought off her mind, denying such possibility, no matter how hard she wished it to be. 'Impossible, I'm broken, I cannot be winged, as such, I cannot be with my Ashikabi. '

Sasuke smiled as he looked at Akitsu reaction. "Sorry about that, I couldn't help it when I look at your cute face." He said as Akitsu sported a blush from the comment. He then sat down beside her, noticing her shivering lightly from the cold breeze that the night brings. He took off his purple coat and put it on top of the dirty lab coat that Akitsu is wearing. "There you go, all nice and warm, a lady such as yourself should not be shivering on this wonderful night." He said as he looked at her, giving her a gentle smile. Akitsu felt a jolt ran through her body, her face heating up as she looked away in embarrassment.

Both went into deep silence as they contemplate on what they thought about each other. Akitsu was about to say something when Sasuke stood up and stared at the night sky, back facing a curious Akitsu.

"Did you like the song earlier?" He asked, emotion unreadable.

Akitsu stared at him for a few seconds before replying "Ah ... I like it ... But I do not understand why would you do this for someone that is broken?"

A few more seconds of silence passed by as Akitsu waited for his answer, anxiousness rising in her heart, anticipating on what he will say.

"You're beautiful and sad," Sasuke said finally, not looking at her when he did. "Just like your eyes. You're like someone that I used to know. She's person who lost her sole purpose of living and just living for the sake of living."

"Akitsu ..." Sasuke breathed in deeply as he called her name, looking at the endless sky as the moonlight illuminate him showing off his slender form. "Never, ever think that you are broken, unwanted, unneeded. There is always someone who is waiting for you to arrive, finding you like a diamond in the rock. You just have to look hard for that person, and never give up searching for him. So what if your folks say you're broken? That does not mean you are! They do not know you better than you know yourself! Don't let anyone say otherwise ... "Sasuke sighs as he walks towards her, gently cupping her rather delicate face, their eyes making contact with each other." If you still cannot find the will to find this ashikabi of yours ... Then let me be yours ... "He whispered looking straight at her eyes.

Akitsu's eyes became wide in surprise as he said that. Her body trembling as various emotions surges within her, overwhelming her. "Ah, ah ... Y-you will be my ashikabi? You will not abandon me?" She asked, her voice laced with emotion she never thought possible, tears threatening to flow down her eyes.

Sasuke smile widened "I will never abandon you, Akitsu, even if the world is against you, even when you're against yourself. I'll always be by your side if you just let me ..." He said with such conviction that signifies he is serious about this.

"Ah ... Then Sekirei # 07 Akitsu, will be yours ... now and forever ..." She said with happiness filling her heart as she moved forward and kissed.

Sasuke was surprised at the sudden outburst but snaked his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him, welcoming her kiss. He felt his chakra mending with her, but stopped at the seal in her forehead. This made Sasuke mentally frown. 'Something is blocking her from letting me into her chakra system ... ' He suddenly smirked 'I wasn't planning on doing this, but I feel like she is worth the trouble… well, let's get this annoyance out of the way, shall we? '

Sasuke pulled back gently from the light haired brunette, bangs covering his eyes, making no sound.

"Sasuke- san ...?" She asked as fear gripped her very being, the fear of being rejected, thrown away. She was interrupted from her spiraling thoughts by two fingers that lightly poked onto her seal. Looking up she was surprised at the appearance of his eyes. Two blood red eyes with flower shaped pattern rotating were staring at her. "Just bear with me for a moment ne? Just keep looking." He said, his eyes never leaving hers. Akitsu was too shocked to respond when he approached her and whispered "This will break you free ..." He closed his eyes for a brief moment and started to build chakra around his fingertips.

'Raiton: Kōdo kowashimasu'

'May the lightning that envelopes me break her seal, may my chakra be the one to set her free from her darkness ...' He sent his now lightning converted chakra into her seal, pumping large amount of it into the area, and just like that , the seal shattered, letting his essence spread throughout her body. He then saw something spectacular.

From Akitsu's back popped 10 beautiful wings that seemed to cover the entire park, Lightning flying at random directions, destroying trees in its path. After a few second of it, her wings turns to ice, with lightning surging around it, then it dissolves into nothing.

Looking around him, he was surprised that they were surrounded with ice shards that has sparks of lightning covering them in a circle. He looked back at Akitsu, who was hugging him tightly. She was holding onto him, fearing that if she let go, he will be gone. She was staring at his eyes, panting heavily. Her eyes held so much love and devotion unlike her lifeless ones.

"Thank you ashikabi- sama ..." She said as tears threaten to fall from her eyes "Thank you ... Thank you!" She cried as she crashed her lips onto Sasuke's once more, surprising him. The kiss lasted a bit longer before they reluctantly parted.

Sasuke looked at her gently as he stroke her hair. 'Geez, what a troublesome girl ... She'll explain this little mess soon, but for now ...' "You're welcome ... Akitsu- chan ..." he wiped the tears off her eyes as their body parted with each other.

"Let's head home, shall we? I'm sure you have some stuff to tell me, we can grab something on the way ... how does dango sound? Speaking of which, it'll be troublesome for us when they see this ice tomorrow huh?" He was contemplating on what to do for a bit before shrugging in a carefree attitude. He then proceeded to get his lone guitar and walk away from the area." Bah, I'm sure it'll melt by morning ..." He looked back at the stunned Akitsu. His hand stretched out for her to take. "Well, are you coming or not Aktisu- chan? The night is still young, so we can go shopping for your clothes, do not want your wonderful body to be seen by men, except me, of course." He winked.

"Ah ... Hai, Ashikabi- sama!" She took his hand, blushing brightly. A genuine smile graced her lips as she felt that this is just right.

Sasuke was stunned as he looked at her smile. 'You are truly a goddess that decended from heaven Akitsu- chan… I am really bless in this life am I kami?' Shaking his head, Sasuke poked her in the forehead. "Ah, ah, none of that, call me Sasuke, alright Akitsu- chan?"

"Ah ... Hai, Sasuke- sama ..."


A/N: Hello, been a while, been piecing this story bit by bit whenever I have free time at work. It's slow I know, but I haven't given up on this, I just don't have that much time in writing these now a days... Anyways, I have a lot of unfinished chapters that I'm slowly completing on this computer, just gonna take a while.

Depending on what happens, I might publish the next chapter for the Highschool DxD cross over OR a new story. Still having Sasuke takes the persona of the Road to Ninja. Might as well make my stories about him LOL.

About this story... I drafted the 2nd chapter of this and its ready to be written out, it'll be more character development before even winging the next grill. I wanted to at least develope Akitsu a bit so both can explore the feelings of being bound to each other.

Pairings? Sticking only to 3 MAYBE 4 but I'll decide as I go, but sticking to 3 for now.

Well, R&R I guess, I really appreciate all of your reviews, keeps me motivated to write ya know?
