Author's note: Thank you very much for the favorites, reviewing, and following my first story. :) Now onto the reviews:
CrevanEA7: Akitsu is a possibility, I might put up separate pairing polls for Cyclops, and Wolverine in the future. There's a poll on my profile page to vote for Piotr's next Sekirei. Yashima isn't doing so well in the poll, and Toyotama currently has the most votes. If you haven't voted yet, now is the time.
Guest 1: I'm trying to stay away from that pairing, because I want to keep my story different. Logan doesn't have a good track record with women like Karasuba. Lady Deathstrike, Elektra, and Mystique are some examples.
Guest 2: I'm not ruling out Deadpool showing up sometime. (^_^)
Chapter 1 - Unexpected Love
Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin was expecting to regain consciousness in a hospital room, or that one of his teammates would have taken him back to the Xavier Institute to have Beast check on his condition. He felt soft hands caressing his face, and a very attractive woman using her lap as his pillow. Colossus had seen many different women over the years as an X-Man, but none had ever caused his heart to race like the woman before him.
The woman giggled warmly when she saw that he was awake. "Hello, Handsome-kun." Kazehana said looking down at his face, and smiling, as Piotr shyly turned his head away from the view of Kazehana's generous assets. Colossus lifted himself off of Kazehana's lap into a sitting position which earned him a small pout from the Wind Sekirei. "I thank you for looking after me, my name is Piotr Rasputin. May I know your name?" Colossus stated with a bow towards the surprised Kazehana. Kazehana gave Colossus a happy smile that lit up the room. "Kazehana, or you can call me your Hana-chan." She finished with a saucy wink while blushing, and crawling ever closer to the seated mutant.
Before Colossus could ask what she meant by her statement, instincts that were honed from years of training in the X-Men's Danger Room kicked in, and his skin started to transform into his organic steel form before Kazehana's eyes which caused her to gasp in surprise. Colossus then scooped up Kazehana into his arms bridal style, and used his shoulder as a battering ram to make a quick exit through the nearest wall, and entering the grounds around Izumo Inn. Meanwhile, the Landlady of Izumo Inn, Miya Asama stood within the new 'door' created by Colossus with an eerie smile on her face, and a large vein throbbing on her forehead. The grip on her practice sword was so strong, that there are spiderweb cracks visible on the sword's handle. The "Hannya of the North" was not a happy woman at the moment.
After Kazehana spent a sufficient amount of time in her chosen Ashikabi's powerful arms, she let Piotr know that they needed to return to Izumo Inn. "Nyet. I sensed something powerful, and dangerous within. I do not want to risk the life of the one who helped me by returning to face such a power." Colossus said with concern in his eyes for his companion. "Handsome-kun is the exact opposite of Minaka. He's caring, and compassionate. A bit shy, but he has an inner, and outer strength that draws me to him. I'm reacting, and it's difficult to hold myself back, but I...need more time to decide.
In Another Part of Shinto Teito
A tall figure made his way through the bustling crowds of people trying to look inconspicuous. However, his height, being a foreigner in Japan, and his choice of eye wear are drawing curious looks from most of the passersby. It could've been worse if he wasn't able to change into civilian clothes. "It's fortunate that the currency here is the same as in our world. The owner of the clothing store just thought I was a cosplayer when I entered wearing my X-Men uniform." Scott Summers aka. The X-Men's Leader Cyclops thought while pressing the 'X' symbol on his belt that has a built in communicator, as he walked into a vacant alleyway. "Cyclops to X-Men, come in X-Men! {Static} Wolverine, Colossus respond! {More static} Communications down, or possibly compromised by an outside source. I can't risk Mojo using our communicators to track us here!" Cyclops said as he disabled them all. "If only I had Beast's portable Cerebra, then I could've tracked their mutant signatures. *sigh* I'll just have to keep searching until I find them."
Down the darkened alleyway, Cyclops heard the sounds of a fight taking place, and a woman shouting loudly about finding her Ashikabi? By the time Cyclops reached the spot, they were gone. "There are tell-tale signs of a possible struggle, and meta-human attacks used if the scorch marks on this brick wall are any indication." Cyclops didn't stay long in the alley after his investigation, the noises would've attracted to much attention, and Cyclops didn't want to be discovered until he finds his two missing teammates.
Back At Izumo Inn
Kazehana is as pale as a ghost, and trembling while hiding behind Colossus' armored form. Miya raised an eyebrow in curiosity about the man Kazehana brought with her to the Inn, but she didn't let up as another mask begins to form behind her scaring the Wind Sekirei more, and making a frown appear on Piotr's face.
"Oh My! Who is going to pay for the damages to my Inn?" Miya asked in a sugary sweet tone with her eyes closed while more hannya masks were appearing behind her.
"I apologize for my earlier actions. Please do not take your anger out on Kazehana, I believed that Kazehana was in danger from you, and wanted to protect her. So I will work to repay you for all the damages to your home." Colossus stared down Miya, and her masks without showing any signs of fear. It was slightly irritating Miya that her usual intimidation tactics weren't working on this mountain of a man.
After Miya dismissed the hannya masks, Kazehana found her courage. "Miya, Handsome-Kun doesn't have a place to stay, and he said that he'll pay for the damage to the wall, so can you let him be a tenant here?"
Miya smiled while holding a hand to her face. "My late husband wouldn't turn away someone in need, so you can be a tenant here Piotr, as long as you follow my house rules. I have a question about that form of yours, could you tell me what you are?" Miya said staring intently at Colossus.
"Da. I'm a mutant." Colossus changed back to his original form, and waited for her reaction.
"What is a mutant? I've never heard that word before." Miya looked puzzled while waiting for Piotr's answer. Kazehana wasn't faring any better, and seemed genuinely confused about the word. '
"You know nothing of mutants? We are feared, and hated in the world because of our mutant gifts, and the X-Gene that gives us our powers. We are born with these gifts, and it sets us apart from the rest of humanity." Colossus stated with a solemn expression.
Kazehana hated seeing that expression on Piotr's face, and her heart told her it was time. She reached out for him, and hugged him around the chest, pressing her large breasts into Colossus' muscular back while leaning in close towards his left ear. "Handsome-kun...no...Piotr. Who could possibly hate you? You have powers? I'll let you in on a secret, you aren't the only one." Kazehana gestured with her arm outstretched, and a gust of wind with flower petals blew open a window in the room. "I was born with my powers too, and I don't care what other people think of me." Colossus turned around in her arms so that they were facing each other which made Kazehana blush, and her breathing became more labored.
"Kazehana! Are you alright?! Colossus said with concern in his voice. "Please...Piotr-kun become my Ashikabi, please accept my love?" Kazehana asked with tears forming in her eyes. Colossus wiped her tears away, and instinctively leaned in to Kazehana, and wrapped his arms around her. Their faces getting closer to one another, and they kiss. Kazehana feels the ecstasy that comes with a true bond, and they both deepen the kiss. Colossus sees the most beautiful wings coming from Kakehana's back, and it triggers his mutation to activate, his organic steel skin starts to glow along with Kazehana's wings until the light becomes blindingly bright.
