Date a Sekirei
Here's a spin-off from one of my favorite harem animes, Date a Live. This will not be following canon entirely as Shido will not be in high school, he will be going to college.
Yes, this is a harem fic, if you have readed the light novel or watch the anime, Shido will be getting the spirits who's powers he sealed in his harem ,they will be introduce later in the story.
I will have the complete harem list at the end of this chapter. So sit back, and enjoy.
It was the first Sunday of January, new years had been celebrated just two days. We find the Itsuka household where a party was taking place inside.
There was soft music being played in the background, the guest were all in the living and dining room playing boards games to pass the time or talking to friends on various subjects like what they plan to do now in life.
Leaning against the wall in the dining room was a young man of average height, with a decent muscular build. He had blue hair with bangs covering his forehead and stopping just above his eyes which were brown, he was wearing causal clothes talking to young teen with black spiky hair, spiked in all directions held up by gel.
"So tell me Itsuka, not afraid about leaving home?" Shido's best friend Tonomachi Hiroto said the two discussing Shido's leaving from home as the party was a going away party for Shido.
"No, not afraid just nervous that I'll be living on my own." Shido reply taking a drink from his cup filled with fruit punch.
"Hoh, I didn't know you were a sis-con Itsuka? You going to miss Kotori-chan as you are basically leaving her to fend for herself now." Shido did a classic spit-take spewing his fruit punch away from Tonomachi, he cough violently trying to steady his breathing.
"W-w-w-what the h-hell are saying, what in the world made you jump to that conclusion?" His face red from embarrassment luckily no one heard what Tonomachi said or else things would be extremely awkward.
"Heh, no need to worry Itsuka. I am only joking." For some reason Shido wanted to punch that smug look on his friends face.
"W-well if you were joking then it's fine, and besides Kotori won't be on her own she told me that she and a friend of her's are going to share living in an apartment."
"So while the older brother is going to another city, his younger sister is starting high school. Hmm, interesting." Tonomachi put a hand on his chin taking a thinking pose, while Shido deadpan.
"Shido..." Hearing his name call, Shido turn around and gasp at Origami being in his personal space staring up at him.
"Kotori said it's time to cut the cake." She said her eyes never leaving his, Shido became nervous from her constant staring.
"Uh, right, time to cut the cake, right... Let's go then." Shido walk towards the living area. Origami following behind him.
In the living area was everyone who had attended, mostly those from Shido's class, even his teacher Tamae Okamine was in attendance.
"Ah, Onii-chan there you are!" Shido's younger sister, Kotori Itsuka is a girl around fourteen with red eyes, her light coral-colored hair was held together by two white ribbons ending in twin ponytails on the sides of her head.
Shido's cake was simple white frosting cake with the words, "Good luck" written in blue colored frosting. Everyone gather around as Shido with kitchen knife in hand, prepare to cut the cake.
Kotori's eye glint with mischievous intend, a plan thought up in her mind. Standing behind Shido who remain unaware of what was about to happen to him. Kotori push hard on Shido's back rocketing him face first into his cake.
Everyone gasp at the turn of events before laughter erupted from them, Shido slowly remove his face which was cover with white cake frosting. He grab a hand cloth that was sitting on the table and wipe away all the frosting on his face.
After wiping the frosting on his face he turn to his cake with lack of frosting reveal, vanilla cake mix inside. Grabbing the knife once more he prepared to cut the cake, when his wrist was grab, unable to stop himself as he was forcefully turn around. He try to say something but it was stuck in his throat when a pair of lips were on his.
The room fell silence as everyone stared in shock, Shido coming back to his senses widen his eyes at seeing Origami on her tip-toes kissing him on the lips, and was that tongue? Although it was soft Shido heard Origami's moan clearly.
Pulling back only a thin stand of saliva showing their heavy make-out session. He stare at Origami's stoic expression with confusion and a little fear.
"Ah... you had some frosting on your lips, I got it for you." Everyone fell down anime-style at her answer. Where was frosting that she had to kiss him on the lips.
Despite the awkward silences the party continued without further interruptions.
The following morning Shido woke up with suit cases full of clothes and his other essentials, he arrive at the train station where his train to the capital of Shinto Tento was boarding. Kotori, Origami, and most of his classmates came to see him off, he waved goodbye as his train left the station.
xox
Shido stared at the window of the train the towering skyscrapers could already be seen, after two hours of riding the train, he had finally reach his destination.
"Attention passengers! We have arrived in Shito Tento, please wait for the train to come to a full stop before getting off."
Hearing the announcement Shido grab his things and stood in the aisle, others already piling by the doors. The train slow down before coming to a full stop, a ping was heard followed by the doors opening.
"We thank you for riding with us and hope to see you soon."
Getting off Shido check his surroundings seeing the bustle of the subway watching people going to start their days. He reach the surface seeing the busy streets and roads of the city, the sound of people walking and the engines of cars as they drove by. Shido was not a fledgling as he grew up in the city, but the capital was more lively than his hometown.
Walking around for a bit he found a directory and bullet board cover with fliers of different things.
Shido look at the map and notice the city had four districts, he was currently in the north district of the city. First he need to find a place to stay as he attends school. While in high school Shido had a job, the job he had paid really well, so Shido didn't need to worry about his finances.
He walk to the bullet board scanning for any openings in renting a place to sleep. "Let's see." He mused. Soon he found a flyer for rooms available at a bordering house.
Izumo inn boarding house, located north of the city
Room and board available, three square meals a day
Paying for rooms will be discuss.
There was no image except for the address and it was not that far from where he was. Grabbing his suitcase in one hand and stuffing the flyer in his jacket pocket, Shido continued north towards Izumo inn
xox
Shido found himself walking through a residual area, he continued to walk down the sidewalk till he saw a high wooden fence and the roof of a two-story house. He found himself at the entrance of the boarding house that look like a traditional Japanese two-story building with sliding doors, it had a garden to one side of the house.
Admiring the beauty of the home Shido walk up to the front door and knock two times, waiting patiently for someone to answer.
Ten seconds later after knocking, the door open up to reveal a beautiful woman with purple-colored hair that fell down her back like a waterfall, and a white ribbon on her head to keep her hair in place. She had brown eyes and a cute face with a beautiful smile, she wore the cloths of a miko of white haori with a sash keeping it together, purple hakamas, and geta sandals. This woman, no angel standing before Shido seems young and full of energy, He almost forgot on why he knock in the first place when he shook his head to rid him of his thoughts.
"Ah, hello there, I take it you are the landlady of this boarding house?" Shido ask calmly trying not to lose focus or seem suspicious in front of his 'soon to be landlady.'
"Ara~ you must have found one of my fliers, yes I am the landlady of this inn, My name is Miya Asama, but you may call Miya." Miya flash him a brilliant smile that made Shido's heart beat.
"My name is Itsuka Shido, and I will be in your care for now on, please take good care me." Shido bow his head, Miya giggle softly hiding her lips behind the sleeve of her haori, she welcome Shido inside who took off his shoes and follow behind Miya.
The sound of the sock covered feet echo against the hard wood floor of the inn, and just like outside the inside look like a traditional Japanese home complete with sliding doors, and tatami mats.
"To be honest I just put those fliers up this morning, it's not even noon and I already have someone interest in renting a room." Miya look over her shoulder giving Shido a warm smile, he smile in return as Miya slid open a door leading into the dining room.
"Please sit while I make us some tea." Miya excuse herself from the room, Shido sat down on the right side of the table. For some reason he felt as he was being watch but quickly forget as Miya entered the room a tray in her hands.
Pouring Shido a cup whom he thank before drinking the warm liquid Miya pour herself a cup and sat down at the head of the table. She cleared her throat before addressing Shido. "Now you wish to rent a room correct?"
"If I may, your flyer said that you had rooms available."
"I do have a few rooms that are currently vacant, so if you are looking for a place to stay and can pay for it than I can sell you a room."
Shido's eyes brighten in relief at this, not an hour in the city and he already had a place to sleep. "Thank you very much, Miya-san." Miya waved off his thanks saying that she had a policy of never turning anyone away in need. "How much is the monthly fee?"
"Hmm, the monthly cost is 2000 yen."
He nodded, pulling out the require amount. "Ah, Miya-san is it possible to rent a room for a year?" Miya quirk her eyebrow at Shido's question, seeing she was confuse he elaborated. "You see I'm enroll at Tokyo U, and I was looking for a permanent housing for at least till the end of my first year."
"You're a college student, Shido-san?" Shido nodded his head, "Very well I will make the exception, the price will be $5000 yen." Pulling out three hundred yen and handed them to Miya who pocketed the money away.
"Now that payment has been payed. Welcome to Izumo Inn, Shido-san."
Finishing the rest of their tea, Miya and Shido went upstairs, the second floor was namely where the guest slept. Standing in front of a room that had #203 written on the door Miya slid open the door, she stood to the side allowing Shido to go in first with her taking up the rear.
The room was plain with no furniture only six tatami mats on the floor where the futon could be place and a closet to the left of the room. Shido inspected the room, finding it to his liking he turn to Miya.
"It's wonderful thank you again Miya-san."
"I'm happy that you're happy Shido-san, you may decorated however you wish, lunch will be ready in a few hours I'll call you when it's time." Shido thank her again, she close the door to give him some privacy. Shido began hanging his clothing in the closet, making a note to buy a desk as well as a computer for schoolwork. Once he had emptied out his suitcase he turn to his backpack that was lying against the adjacent wall.
Walking towards his pack he unzip the opening and pull out what seem like a long white coat. The coat resemble a trench coat with a hood and four coattails ending at the persons knees. Shido examine the coat with a stoic face, his eyes held no warmth, shaking his head to rid of any lingering thoughts he put the coat away, continuing with going through his pack.
xox
The next morning Shido went to the University to pick up his class schedule as well as scouting the campus. It was ten o clock when he left the campus his stomach growl in hunger, he skip breakfast that morning to avoid the long lines. He decided to stop to grab a quick bite before returning back to the inn.
Shido found a small cafe a few miles away from campus, he notice it was not as packed as he thought it would be. Nevertheless he walk up to the counter.
Standing in line behind a woman with long silver hair in a ponytail wearing a black uniform with a grey haori over her shoulder and a sword at her hip.
He scan the menu wondering what to get but also kept an eye on the woman he was standing behind. The uniform was strange having never seen it anywhere, he knew it wasn't a police uniform as cops tend to use hand guns then a sword. Shido he felt the power and blood lust around this woman it was suffocating but Shido could handle it having got through a rigorous training that threw any training the military did out of the water.
Unknown to Shido, the woman in front of him was staring back at him from the corner of her eyes. She saw he didn't react to her blood lust and was unaffected by the sight of her katana sitting on her hip. She could tell that he held himself well in a trained and calm manner, his stance while normal was prepare to move if threaten. He may have seem like a normal bystander with that smile and obliviousness. But in his eyes she saw a cold edge sharp as a sword hidden in those eyes. This man, she was interested with this man which surprise Karasuba as she hated humans, so for this human to catch her attention.
"Here you go mam, sorry for the wait."
Karasuba didn't pay heed to what the guy said, she pay for her coffee and left, her eyes met Shido's who also caught her gaze. Time slow as their stares remain with each other, Shido now having seeing her eyes saw power within them.
Time resume their gazes left one another, Karasuba smile at Shido before she walk out. Shido didn't know what to say, he shook his head, forgetting about what had happen and order his breakfast.
Sitting near the window at the far corner of the cafe Shido ordered himself a breakfast sandwich, a bowl of fruit off to the side, a hash brown, and a glass of juice. The cafe was almost empty so not much was wore talking about, Shido shrug his shoulder and eats his breakfast in silence.
Feeling his phone vibrate in his pocket Shido pull his phone out, he turn it on and saw he had a message, the sender was blurred out. Shido immediately knew who was contacting him. He finish his breakfast and down his drink he stood up walk to a trash can, and threw away his trash.
Walking to a computer he notice there was a woman with short grey hair and red half-moon glasses, was the only one using the computers. He sat down in the seat next to her, pulling his phone out he place it on the desk next to him, his phone sync to the computer, he open the message to see it's contents..
He type away at the keyboard in great speed, tabs and windows opened on the screen with different messages and pop ups. Kochō look to see what Shido was doing just barely making out the content because of the speed he was typing at.
Five minutes later Shido close all windows and disconnected his phone from the computer, pocketing his phone he stood up stretching his body. Finish he turn seeing the woman next to him looking at him from the corner of her glasses. He smile and left not saying a word, Kochō blush at his smile seeing him go, she felt her heart and breathing picking up. She wanted to meet that man again.
xox
With his morning done Shido walk back toward Izumo Inn, his thoughts were on the two women he had met back at the cafe. Both each had an aura of sorts around them as well as power hidden inside them. He wondered were those two the same and was there more.
Shido stop when he heard an alarm and a siren, he saw people running to shelters that led underground. He wondered what was happening when a ripple appear in the sky, looking up he saw something opening up in the sky.
"A spacequake!" He said having heard of the disaster that happen thirty years ago cause by the very thing he saw in the sky.
Noticing the danger this presented he move to behind an alley.
xox
The ripple in the air soon open, a cut within time and space. A tornado of black energy appeared from the rip in the sky the tornado touch the ground and expanded in great mass destroy buildings, sidewalks, and streetlights. The explosion ended a few seconds later a mile long crater within the center of street.
A young beautiful girl was standing in the crater with one leg on a stone-like throne with a sword embedded on the top of the throne.
The girl had dark-purple hair and pupils which are colored dark-blue on the top half and a mix of pink and pale yellow on the bottom half. She wore a dress with a black, cream, and pink color scheme and a set of purple-and-cream plated armor which adorned her shoulders and waist. The dress is open at the back and made up into a black corset(which exposes some of her cleavage) and a two-layered, knee-length skirt which has a pink-to-white gradient. Her hair is tied back using a butterfly-shaped hair accessory. She also wears a pair of gauntlets which have petal-like cuffs, both sharing the same color scheme as her attire, as well as a pair of armored boots.
She reach for the sword's hilt and with both hands she pull the sword free destroying the throne in the process. She ready her stance and held her sword in front of her body, both hands on the hilt. The sound of missiles being fired were heard behind her meaning who ever she was prepare for had arrive.
Not even looking back she erected a dome-like barrier around herself, the missiles making contact with barrier exploding harmlessly outside. Seeing their surprise attack was a failure the soldiers then switch to their assault weapons and fired at will at the girl clad in armor. Again lazily she put up the barrier, the bullets bouncing harmlessly off.
One of the soldiers flew down pulling an energy sword horizontally from her back. The sword ignited forming into a green sword of energy. The girl wearing armor turn around parrying her opponent's strike the two soon went into a shower of sparks as they clash repeatedly not slowing down. Both possess exceptional swordplay, although no where near a master but still good none the less.
The two girls broke their equal stalemate and jump back, the girl in armor however quickly turn around having sense someone behind her. She heard the clang of steel hitting steel she look up and saw a young man wearing a long white coat ending in four coattails, a hood was obscuring every thing but his mouth. He had on some light armor on his chest, feet, and arms he was holding a sword in his right hand that stop her own sword.
"Relax I'm not here to harm you." She raise an eyebrow at his declaration, he didn't come here to hurt her she never heard anything so alien before so she didn't know how to react.
"You! The White Knight!" Shido look up and notice that the soldier that this girl wearing armor was fighting was a member of the AST(Anti-Spirit Team). The girl had silver white hair cut in a bob cut, blue colored eyes like the sky and wearing the AST uniform but what really caught Shido attention was that he knew this girl, it was.
'Origami?! Why are you here?" Shido was not at all surprise by Origami being a AST member as they had met more than once, problem is that she doesn't know that it's Shido she has been fighting.
"The White Knight you dare interfere on my mission again, you will not escape this time." Having said this Origami using the thrusters on her back rocketed herself towards Shido completely disregarding the girl she was facing before hand.
Shido didn't blink he met Origami's strike with his own.
The girl in armor stood with a confuse expression, first she was battling the girl wearing the AST realizer uniform, then a boy in a white cloak with hood showed up, block her attack with his own sword, then her opponent says something in anger towards the boy and moves to attack him.
She didn't what to do in this situation but a missile exploding outside her barrier reminder her that the girl didn't come alone.
Turning around with sword in hand she jump into the air initiating an air battle with the AST.
Back with Shido and Origami the two were with their swords together in a deadlock trying to overpower the other.
"White Knight! Why are you here!?" Origami gritted her teeth her energy sword trying desperately to push Shido''s sword back.
"That's my line! And I should be asking you that. Why are the AST here in the capital?"
"That girl princess is a spirit and the cause of the spacequakes, we have been given orders to capture her. Now I ask why are you here?
"I was walking home when the spacequake alarm sounded. I was going to the shelter when I saw that girl appear and you guys firing at her with missiles."
"There you go again with your constant interfering, everywhere I go you are always there, you always tell me that you were there by mistake but I have had enough of your lies." She kick Shido in the stomach forcing him back, "I'll put an end to you now White Knight."
Shido didn't reply back at her declaration, he sheathed his sword drawing question marks from Origami he smirk and said in a matter-of-fact tone. "You know that my swordplay is not all that good but I make up for it with my skills with a bow."
Origami eyes widen when she realize the distance between them. Damn, she played right into his hand.
Pulling a bow from his back and a single arrow from the quiver on his back, placing the arrow by the string of the bow, pulling it back, and release. Origami brought her energy sword to deflect when she felt the rush of wind passing her by, she turn her head seeing the arrow not aiming for her but her comrades who were fighting against princess.
An explosion of electricity with a mixture of different colors, red, blue, and purple expanding in a long range field. It hit the AST pilots causing no harm to them but their equipment preventing them from using them anymore.
Origami notice the arrow that was fired was an EMP tip arrowhead having seen a number of different arrows Shido had use in the past. She turn around but her wrists were held by Shido's hands who rush up catching her off guard.
He kneed her in the stomach, Origami bend forward coughing up blood as the air in her lungs was force out. Shido then follow up by disarming her by breaking her wrist forcing her to drop the energy sword and slam her against the hard pavement, he flick his wrist drawing out his hidden blade inside his sleeve.
Now listen," His blade at her throat, although he didn't want to kill Origami but he can't talk to her when she is trying to kill him. "I am not your enemy I may seem at first but I have only attack you through self-defense. I was on my own missions when I met you and your group all those times. I'm not your enemy I never seek to bring you or your comrades harm all those times. We met by coincidence as I had no idea that you were there.
"Listen what I'm trying to say is that I'm not your enemy I never was, you are not my enemy as I don't see you as one. Take time to listen to what I have said." He withdrew his blade and stood up, unsheathing his sword he ran towards where the girl was fighting the AST.
"Origami." She look up seeing her commanding officer landing next to her.
"Captain what happen?"
"The White Knight hit us with an EMP and none of equipment is working, we have been given orders to retreat." Origami didn't try to argue as orders were orders, she nodded her head and stood up her commander giving the order to withdraw to the other girls who nodded and flew away Origami follow behind her comrades but was in deep thought about what Shido had said to her.
"I'm not your enemy, you are not my enemy."
She shook her head not wanting to get any ideas but she did make a note to think what he said to her over.
Shido saw them leaving heading back to base, he hated having to beat Origami down just to get her to listen. He hope that she would no longer see him as a threat.
"Are you here to kill me too?" An empty voice said behind him it's tone was cold and no emotion what so ever. Shido cautiously turn around finding that the girl in armor had turn to face him with her sword pointing at his chest.
Shido didn't show any fear at having a blade pointing at his chest because the training he went through was far more terrify than this. He look at the girl who had a pain expression on her face her eyes held pain and was on the verge of tears, something inside Shido made him cringe seeing the pain in her eyes it reminded him of him in a way, he didn't wish to see a sad look in this girl's eyes they didn't suit her.
He sheathed his sword and remove his hood his blue hair and brown eyes revealed and a small smile on his lips. "No I'm not here to cause you any harm I just wish to talk."
Confusion was evident in her eyes, while relief that she didn't have to fight but she still couldn't let down her guard, she was still wearying about him.
"What are you trying to achieve?" The girl ask him holding back her sword from striking Shido down.
Saying nothing, Shido instead reach for his sword at his hip, which raise alarms from the girl.
"What are you-" Just as she about to defend herself Shido instead unhooked his belt holding his sword and other weapons, they dropped onto the pavement where he then push them aside.
Confuse as why he did such a thing the girl move to ask him, only for him to shake his head, a unreadable smile on his face.
"Now you see that I don't have anything to harm and attack you with, let alone defend myself with. I have nothing to gain from attacking you."
"Lair!" She growled in barely restrained anger. "Every human I have seen has said that I deserved to die."
"You're wrong. Not every human wants to harm you. There are good folks who are not like that, No one what's you to die."
"Then I must know, If you do not intend on killing me. What have you come here for?"
'No need to lie and deceive her, she's already has problems trusting me.' "I came here because of the spacequake to investigate, and when I saw you being attacked by the AST. I thought I should lend you a hand." Shido answered truthfully hoping she thinks he's not lying.
"And why would you help me and not attack me, like those people?"
"I never liked seeing someone fight alone against a group of people by themselves. I guess you can say I don't like seeing others fighting when the odds are against them no matter if they're friend or not."
For a second, the girl felt a strange warm feeling in her chest. Strange having never felt something such a peculiar heat coming from her heart, this human standing in front of her was the cause of this warmth that made her feel... safe?
"If you still have problems trusting me." She heard him speak once more, "Then just know that no matter what you may think when everyone wants you to die, just know that I won't reject you."
The sound of a gun firing was heard going through her mind feeling that same warmth from before only this time she recoil back in surprise. Turning around she spoke in an almost flustered way, still feeling that strange warmth in her chest.
"Shido, was it?"
"Are you really not going to reject me?"
"Never"
"Do you Promise?"
"I Promise."
"Do you swear on your life?"
"I swear on my life."
Turning around again Shido didn't know what she was thinking, he saw her raise her arm into her dark-purple hair and a hand scratching her head all the while groaning in a cute moan trying to solve a problem. Turning to face him again she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Hmph! I won't let you fool me with your words. Baka, Baka!"
'So much for getting her to open up.' Shido sweatdropped,"Listen I-"
"But, well, you know... I don't know what you're up to, but you're the first human who's made any attempt to talk to me. I'll use you to gather information about this world. That's important, super important." Nodding to herself as she finish her monologue.
"Uh, thanks, I guess." Well, at least he doesn't have to worry about her attacking him again.
"So what's your?"
"My name... I have none. But I suppose I would need one to hold a conversation. Shido, what would you like to call me?"
'Hmm, That is a tough one. I was thinking about asking the people of the world like some online dating game, but that's idiotic and surely someone would sent some name I have never heard of, like Tome.' Looking at his surroundings Shido notice a chalkboard lying against a destroy building behind him and the girl. Walking towards it he picked up a piece of chalk off the ground and began writing on the chalkboard, his back to the girl.
When he finish he moved to the side showing a name written in kanji going vertically downl. The name said, "Tohka... How's that?"
"Sound good." She nodded accepting the name Shido gave her. She approach the chalkboard to read the name better. "This reads "Tohka?"
"Yeah" He nodded.
Lifting her right index finger and copied the same kanji next to the one Shido wrote.
"Shido..."
"Yeah."
"Tohka... That's my name. Is it not wonderful. Shido?"
"T-Tohka. Testing it himself he saw a serene smile on her face rather than the empty one he saw before. 'Although, Naming her "Tohka" because I met her on the tenth might not have been the best.'
"Listen, Tohka. What exactly are you?" He said getting her attention.
"Dunno. Some time in the past, I just sprouted forth. That's all I know. My memories are very vague, and I don't know who I am."
"Is that how it is?" The more Shido heard Tohka's backstory the confusing it became.
"That's how it is. I popped into world out of thin air, and by the time I realized it, there were mech-people in the sky."
"Mech-people?" Already knowing the answer.
"Those troublemakers." Remembering back to how she was attacked by the AST not too long ago.
"Oh," Just then Shido heard someone calling his cell phone. Reaching into his pant pocket he pull out his cell phone, press the call button and put it to his ear, unbeknownst to him, Tohka was hearing in on his call.
"Hello?" Shido answered timely.
"Hey! How's my favorite student." Came a jovial, and stern voice from the other line. One Shido knew all too well.
"M-Minato-senpai?!"
"The very one, hope I didn't catch you at a bad time? I just got out of a meeting and I was hoping to talk to my favorite student. Hey, listen, I know you're not interest but about the date.-"
"Uh, senpai, I know you mean well and I'm really thankful for your selfishness, but I've told you before that I'm not looking for a relationship." Shido couldn't remember the dozen times his senpai was constantly interfering with his love life, or lack of there of.
"Really? Shido. I have been your teacher since you were in middle school, you know I'm only looking out for you because I'm concern for you. The reason I set you up on all these dates is because since middle school. You have never been in any type of relationship with a girl romantically. Now you are entering college and you still yet to find a girlfriend, we-"
"Yeah, Yeah I get it senpai, and I'll talk to you later." He hung up on a rambling Minato going off about trying to save Shido's love life.
Fun fact; The Minato, Shido was talking to calling him senpai. Is his teacher who trained him in the art of assassination and becoming a full-fledged Assassin, as well how to fight. He also forgot to mention that his teacher is the CEO and founder of Raven Incorporated.
"Shido..." Oh Tohka, how could he forget she was still with him. That's right, he remember they were talking before Minato's call. "What is a "date?" She ask him, confuse with the word she heard him utter on the phone.
"Well, it's."
"Is this another of your world's customs? If it is then I wish to experience it for myself."
"Wait- what."
"Now Shido! Let's go on this date."
"Date, Date, Date, Date, Date!" Sounding like a broken record."
"All right! I get it! Anyways you can't wear that. You're going to have to take it off." Not realizing what he just said.
"Shido... are you telling me to undressed here?" Tohka turn away suddenly feeling uncomfortable.
"No, No. I didn't mean it like that." Then a light bulb flashes over his head like some cartoon on TV. But he did have an idea. Reaching for his phone he scroll through his pictures looking for something Tohka can use. He settle for a picture of his classmate Origami in her school uniform.
He got the picture during last Valentines day, don't ask why.
Tohka grab his cell phone with both hands examining the photo, "These clothes would be acceptable." She said but then deadpan and ask him in a questionly manner. "But why do you have-"
"Don't ask me why. Just change." Obviously not wanting to go further into.
"Fine." She agreed but after tearing Shido's phone in half, he only stared at her not knowing why she did that. 'I needed a new phone anyways.' He said just as a flash of light formed around Tohka's body.
He shield his eyes away from the bright rays of light, when they finally died down enough for him to see Tohka he saw she was wearing the exact uniform from the picture.
"Is this alright?"
"Y-Yeah." Truly this girl was unmistakably beautiful Shido thought. He snap out of his trance from Tohka grabbing his hand with her's.
"Then, let's go and enjoy this "date!" She began running with Shido keeping pace with her into the city to enjoy their date.

We find Tohka on a bench in front of a bakery looking into the window, drool falling from her lips, the red bow to hold her hair in place was twitching uncontrollably like it had a mind of it's own.
"Please come again." Came the voice of the female cashier as Shido walk out the front door, a loaf of bread in a purple wrapper, in hand.
"Here." He offered the bread to Tohka who upon seeing it sniff the bread like a dog sniffing the air. More drool fell from her lips, staring at the bread hungrily.
"It better not be Poisoned." A waterfall of drool falling and her bow twitching out of control.
"It's not. Now stop drooling and start eating." He sweatdropped.
Taking his word for it, Tohka at first approach the bread calmly before taking a bite, her reaction.
"It's so good!" Was expected. She scream to the heavens taking the rest of the bread from Shido's hand and began eating it like a hamster. "Is this a date?"
"It's soy flour bread." He clarify.
"What. It's not a date? Why isn't something this amazing a date?"
"How am I supposed to answer that?"
"Does this experience pale in comparison to a true date? Then what in the world is a date-"
She stop mid-sentence from the aroma of hot dogs being cooked across the street.
"A date!" She sprinted across the street to the vendor in a cartoon-like fashion with arms spread apart and her feet kicking up dust as she ran.
"Wrong again." Shido said to himself crossing the street going after Tohka.
xox
"Where did these wave of people come from?" After leaving the stand with Tohka enjoying a hot dog on a stick she immediately grew alert of the crowd of people walking the streets.
"They're launching an all-out attack?! In that case, I'll wipe the entire area before the mecha-team arrives." She held up her index finger charging up for an attack.
"Wait Tohka!"
"What are you doing Shido? Don't intervene."
"I told you before. Nobody here wants to kill you."
Tohka with a scowl on her beautiful face, obeyed Shido and cancel the powerflow to her finger, which dissipated.
"Mama!" They were brought to the voice of a little boy throwing away a piece of trash in a trash bin. "Mama, I threw away my trash."
"That's a good boy." The mother patted her son's head who smile at her.
Tohka upon seeing this grew curious. Eating her two other hot dogs in one gulp, she ran to the trash bins, threw away her trash into the bins, and hurry back to Shido. Tohka then bowed her head as if she was expecting something from Shido. Her bow twitching alive on her head.
Shido did not know what to do. Tohka continued to moan cutely waiting for Shido who finally patted her head like the mother did to her son. She smiled and they continued on with their date.
"I think I understand now, Shido. This is what a date is, isn't?"
"You're not completely wrong, but no."
"I see. This date thing is complex. Oh... What's that Shido?!"
"Hey wait, where are you going." The rest of the day was Shido taking Tohka to various shops, all the, while she was asking which of these were a "date."
xox
The day was nearing it's end a sunset could be seen slowly setting signaling the moon's appearance very soon. Shido and Tohka were watching the sunset from an overlook point in a park north of the city.
Nested between Tohka's arms was a large stuff bread stuff animal, but it was not an animal. Earlier her and Shido had won the plush toy together playing a crane game.
"Shido! What does that transform into?" Tohka pointed to a subway train passing by.
"I'm afraid to say that trains don't transform."
"What! Do they combine?"
"Well. I guess you could say that they do."
"Shido... I had a great time today." Tohka said in a whisper-like tone.
"Good, I'm glad to hear it." He admitted.
"Although, I wish we had gone into the Dream Park."
"P-Pretend that never happened."
Earlier that same day, Tohka and Shido found a building known as the Dream Park. Tohka in her determine nature to finding the true purpose of a date, propose they enter the establishment. Shido on the other hand didn't want to go near the building, knowing it was a love hotel.
"If that's what you want Shido, then I will. So, Shido, what is a "date?" I couldn't come to a conclusion."
"It's when a boy and girl go out together and... have fun and stuff."
"Oh, is that all it is. Then we definitely were on a date today!"
"Well, yeah."
They went back to looking over the city the sunset painting a breathing taking image for the couple, as if it was created by a great artist of the past.
Nothing could ruin this peaceful, quiet sunset.
"I have found you."
And there it goes. Shido and Tohka turn around abruptly with a scream hearing another voice behind them. Shido took a good look at the newcomer, catching his breath he exclaim.
"I know you. You're the woman from the cafe!"
Kochō smiled, a certain light shined in her eyes behind her glasses. "Yes, I was, so good for you of you to remember me."
"Shido, who is this. Do you know her?" Tohka asked wondering who the woman with glasses was.
"Uh, well let's see. Her name is...? Her name was... I'm sorry but I never got your name."
Kochō remember she never gave her name back at the cafe, she giggle into her hand forgetting that crucial detail. "Forgive me, I never did give you my name at the cafe. My name is Kochō, Sekirei #22."
"Well hello to you too, Kochō-san. This is Tohka." He motion towards Tohka who didn't know what to do, "And I'm-"
"No need I already know who you are, Itsuka Shido." Shido's eyes widen at Kochō knowing his name when he also never gave her his name back at the cafe.
"Itsuka Shido, Age 18, Hair color Blue with brown eyes, graduated from Raizen high school last year, and was accepted into Tokyo University. Begins his first year at the end of the month, January. Is extremely athletic but was never apart of any sports activities during his time in school, has good to outstanding grades and has been recommended by several Universities to enroll with them with scholarships provided.
Heh, heh Just as I would expect from my Ashikabi."
Kochō closed the distance between her, Shido, and Tohka. She approach Shido closely where he could feel her breath on his chin and her large breast pressed firmly against his chest.
"Uh, um... K-Kochō-san?"
"I have found you, Ashikabi-sama." Her face grew a nice shade of red and breathing patterns became labored the more she stared into Shido's brown eyes.
"Um, Kochō-san what are do-" He was cut off from Kochō kissing him on the lips, he could hear her pleasant moans as their tongue battle continued.
White-grayish wings grew behind Kochō, a Sekirei mark appeared behind her neck where the wings originated from. Two minutes of an intense lip-lock later, Shido grab hold of Kochō's shoulders, pushing them apart.
He was blushing from his first kiss being taken from him and lack of breath, sweat pouring down his face. Kochō only sighed in bliss her wings having retreated to her mark.
"Sekirei #22, Kochō. May my knowledge take my Ashikabi to the high skies above." She recited a pledge as what Shido could get from her words.
"Shido..." Turning around he recoil seeing Tohka in his personal space like Kochō had done earlier. "Is this something you do on a "date?"
"Well, Tohka it's mention it happens between two people who love each other but I th-" He was silence by Tohka who kiss him fiercely on the lips. Shido unable to comprehend stood there dumbfounded not knowing if he should kiss back or not.
However it quickly change when he saw the sad look in Tohka's eyes, forgetting about his lack of movement, he kiss Tohka back assuredly.
Both then widen their eyes when Shido felt power rushing into him and Tohka who could feel her power being drained from from her and absorb by Shido. Her "Astral Dress" The purple armor she wore during her fight with the AST. Appear over her body once more began to disintegrating from her body in a purple light. The process continued until Tohka was left in nothing but her birthday suit, naked. Clinging to Shido for dear life.
"Ah! I didn't mean to do that I'm sorry-"
"Stay there. People will see me." Tohka said embarrass at her clothing disappearance. Shido look at the buildings behind Tohka not looking down at her state of dress.
"Shido..."
"Huh?"
"Will you take me on a date again?" Shido only look at her fondly and said.
"Yeah, anytime." Tohka hearing his reply look up at Shido with hopeful eyes and a loving smile.
"Interesting..." Came the intelligent reply from Kochō.
"Ah! Kochō-san?!" Yelled Shido having forgot Kochō being there.
xox
"As I thought, Tohka is a spirit. Spirits have lately been appearing after spacequakes, why I'm not sure perhaps this is how they enter this world or they have other ways if entering."
After returning to the inn with Tohka and Kocho in tow. Luckly, Shido came home when Miya was out back doing the laundry and he would not have to explain Tohka's lack of dress, as if he could even explain that. After he introduce them both to Miya, he went to his room and called Minato in hopes of shedding light on this predicament.
"Is there something I should do, senpai?" Shido asked gone with his easy-going self, replace with a serious and calculated individual.
Minato only shook his head, "No need, as of now Tohka is the only Spirit who has appeared and I'm not reading any spacequakes in the area, so we don't need to worry for now."
"Ah, that's good to hear." Shido sighed, relief of the good news. "Thank you again senpai."
"No problem, I'll keep watch for any Spirit activity. I ask that you be careful Shido, these Spirits, some are dangerous and powerful. Please exercise caution if you happen to come across another one."
"I will senpai."
"Then my work is done, I talk to you later." Shido said farewell and hung up. He sighed it was troubling for him to explain everything that happen today to his senpai, but if what he said was true. About the possibility of there being more Spirits some more dangerous than others could cause chaos.
"Knock, Knock"
Hearing someone knocking on his door, Shido closed his phone, putting it away and walk to his door. Opening it to reveal Miya standing outside with a smile.
"Miya-san, what can I do for you?"
"Sorry to bother you while you're making a phone call but dinner is ready. I was going to have our new guest come and get you, but I decided to show them hospitality and retrieve you, myself."
"It's ok, I just got off the phone just now. Nothing to worry about." Shido waved off Miya's concerns. Miya smiled hiding her lips behind her sleeve, giggling. "Very well then come and join us for dinner, please." That said she began walking for the stairs, Shido tailing behind.
Coming into the dining room Shido spotted Kochō and Tohka who upon seeing him wave her hand at him. "Shido! Look at the all the food the landlady made." Tohka had a small amount of drool on her lips. Shido and Miya shook their heads at the energetic girl's love for food.
Shido also notice the new face he had yet to meet from yesterday. The man stood up and approach Shido with his arm held in front of him. "My name is Kagari, sorry about not meeting you when you first moved in. I was at work at the time and got home this morning to find you were gone."
Shido grasp Kagari's hand with his own in a handshake. "Itsuka Shido and it's fine. We've met each other now and that's what counts." Kagari nodded his head and headed back to his side of the table. Shido himself sat down on the left side of the table, Kochō sitting next to him on his right and Tohka sitting on the opposite side of the table enjoying herself.
'Perhaps this will not be to bad.' Shido said to himself seeing the happy faces on everyone. 'Yeah, not bad at all.' He began to eat his own dinner forgetting all his troubles for the night.
