I'm finding the formatting a little strange, I'll get there hopefully. Help with getting the spacing would be useful.
Once it was time for the others to start waking Miya and Minato had a final long lingering kiss. That would have to do until tonight. Little pecks were alright but the house needed power for the heating and cooking. They washed in cold water and started breakfast for the others. Minato had made a suggestion that morning to Miya so they were joining Uzume and the others shopping in the large mall, then Uzume could carry on to the department stores with the twins.
.
They were a lot later returning than they expected and there was a large M.B.I. limousine outside the house as they turned the corner, Miya seemed un-phased and walked by without a glance. At the door Uzume met them and said they had a visitor in the main room and that she and the twins were preparing lunch.
"Mother" Minato stopped dumbstruck as he slid open the door; all the others looked at him in amazement.
"Takami is your mother" Miya asked
"Yes, but how do you know her name" he watched as Kusano climbed off his mothers lap and rushed over to hug him.
"You really are my onii-chan" she looked into his uncomprehending face "Takami is Kuu's adjuster, she's Kuu mother"
"Musubi's as well, Takami was also Musubi adjuster" she joined them in a three way hug, lifting Kusano so that they were all at the same height. "Minato is Musubi's brother until Musubi is old enough to be his wife"
Takami looked shocked at Musubi's last statement. Then looked at Miya "I'm not here officially, well apart from to give Musubi and Minato cards; Musubi's is the one she left behind, Minato's is for Kusano." She stood reaching into her bag and passing them over. "If Hikari and Hibiki are here then they'll be able to get what they need from the others" her eye stayed on Miya "So can Matsu"
"You knew she was here" Miya asked
"I did; I don't know about Minaka" she sat back down "Now you're winged she'll also need to get winged otherwise she won't be safe anymore" she sighed "He'll consider you part of his stupid game now"
Minato fell onto a cushion and just looked at his mother. She had an eye patch over her left eye and there were signs of a deep cut fading from her brow to her cheek. He raised a weak hand and pointed "How, what"
"I'll tell you in a minute; but first Musubi can you close the door, I think we need to talk as you're all sort of family now" She stopped as Miya's left hand opened a little and revealed the ring on her finger. There was a matching one on Minato's hand.
Minato seemed to gain courage from Miya kneeling next to him. "Not sort of, we are family now" He held Miya's hand "We were married this morning according to our customs, that's why we were late" He smirked as he saw the shock on his mothers face and Miya realised just how great a change had taken place. For once he had the advantage "So you should see me accept the pledges of my other mates according to theirs" He went and placed an engagement ring on Musubi's hand then kissed her, her wings grew even larger as they appeared. Then he knelt and put another on Kuu's hand and also kissed her.
"Will you stop that, how can we get lunch ready when the vegetables start growing again" Hikari or Hibiki's voice came from the kitchen. "Don't you dare kiss Miya I've got a soufflé in the oven" came from the other twin.
Takami uncharacteristically giggled as Minato stopped a fraction before doing just that. He kissed her cheek instead, hoping not to hear another scream from the kitchen. They all waited; then laughed as it remained quiet and Minato breathed out in relief.
.
Musubi lay on the futon with Kusano curled up beside her. For the first time since she'd met him she didn't feel the compelling urge to be beside Minato all the time. She still wanted to be close and loved it when they kissed, but now the conflict in her body had died down. She'd felt it as the ring went on her finger it was Minato's acceptance of her as his wife with the ring as surety until she was mature enough. The way Kusano had quickly fallen to sleep told her that she'd also felt the same. Musubi was thinking of the kiss again, when Minato had kissed her again it was as if he winged her again, that just seemed strange, but the same happened to Kuu; after the ring and then he kissed her, the flowers and plants went out of control. She reminded herself to talk to Miya tomorrow and dropped off.
.
"What's wrong Mi chan" Miya was laying along his side with her arm over him. "You seem troubled by something"
"I'm just worried that things have moved too fast." He'd started so he continued "When I suggested the rings this morning, I didn't expect you to jump and become my wife. Not that I'm complaining" he added quickly "It just feels as if I've taken over your life because I was tired and you tripped over" He turned onto his side to face her. "I want you to be happy, I don't want you to feel as if you have to do things because its convention" He rolled back "You seemed so happy being Landlady sama, suddenly you're here. I was so blown away when I woke in the bath with you; scared but it felt so good. I'm worried that my emotions have run away with me and carried you along too, just because I'm your Ashikabi" he sighed "I'm not saying this very well, am I"
"No you're saying it very well. You're worried about me and how I feel and if I think you've taken advantage somehow. Mi chan while I acknowledge you as my life mate, I still have a free mind. If you ask me to do something and I don't want to then I won't. It's the same for all of us. When I told you yesterday about our culture and how Manaka had degraded it for his own amusement, you didn't think how you could use it for your own advantage. You realised that Minaka had deliberately missed things out, and was misleading the others as to the real significance of winging. You then suggested the rings to help all of us. Kusano will sleep tonight without having to be with you, so will Musubi. Musubi is also a lot stronger today because of it, you didn't feel her strength rise when you gave her the ring and kissed her I did" She moved closer again "I can feel the love and concern you have for us and it's that that makes us stronger. I suggested we get married because I wanted to, because that was how I felt. To every one, I want to be Sahashi Miya and I'm very happy you agreed. There's no just because you're my Ashikabi or husband either you're not, you're my life mate. That is something far deeper than just words."
"I just can't believe you wanted to marry me or you consider me your life mate, what ever that really means" he was about to continue when Miya interrupted him.
"Sahashi Minato if you belittle yourself you will see something you've never seen before. A very angry Sekirei" the mask behind her was huge.
He was going to reply when he saw the anger in her eyes, there was pain there as well. He kissed her "I'm sorry I hurt you, I didn't mean to but I don't seem to be able to get things right. Nothing ever seems to happen the way I plan it to." he moved his finger and gently closed her eyelids "I think that I'd better kiss the hurt away and make my life mate happy, she might put chillies in my breakfast otherwise" he moved his finger to her lips and kissed her eyelids; then down to where the finger had been and her mouth, Miya took his hand andmoved his finger around as to where she needed kissing next. Finally she was very happy again.
.
"So Kazehana why are you here, although I know I'd just like to hear you say" Miya was doing a very good job of keeping a straight face. Looking at Kazehana's expression it was working.
"I felt it on Friday when you got winged Miya. I know what you feel like, we've fought alongside each other before" she sipped her tea and tried not to look around
Miya relented and Kazehana saw the first real smile on Miya's face ever. Even when she'd been married to Takehito she'd never smiled like that. "I felt you watching this morning. You saw my Ashikabi as he went to work"
"I saw the lad whose winged eighty eight go to work. He kissed her then the little girl, but you only touched his hand to say goodbye."
"And what did you think"
"Well it wasn't the normal departure of your Ashikabi from what I've seen. Most Sekirei can't leave their Ashikabi's alone. He just gave them little pecks on the cheek and wandered off. They waved and came back inside. If I hadn't seen them a few days ago when she couldn't keep her hands off him I wouldn't have guessed he'd winged her" Kazehana thought for a while "There's also something strange about number eighty eight. Now that I think about it she reminds me of the power eight has" She was watching Miya closely and didn't miss the slight flicker of her eyes. "Can you tell me what happened?"
"Let's go and talk to Matsu; she found out what happened and we won't be overheard there" There was real pain in Miya's face as she said it. Almost on cue the phone rang and Miya went to answer it. When she came back there was wonder on her face "He just called to make sure I'm all right"
"He's not just your Ashikabi is he" the mask appeared "I didn't just ask that sorry" she finished her tea and stood up "I'm not going to like what Matsu's going to tell me am I" she watched Miya's head shake slightly. "Karasbua" she muttered as she led the way up the stairs.
It wasn't often that the three of them got together and they talked for much longer than they realised. It wasn't until Uzume and Hikari knocked on the door and came in with a large Uninterrupted Power Supply unit that they realised what the time was.
"We thought we'd bring this up now so you can shut down and connect it up in a minute" Uzume said as she tipped the box to get the unit out. "You can put all the blown stuff in here and we'll get rid of it tomorrow"
Matsu looked at the clock and rapidly started turning things off; then moved pulling all the plugs away from the sockets. She looked at an amused Miya and slowed down, settling for plugging the unit in and connecting a small very old screen to see if it would take the surge.
Leaving Matsu fiddling with her computers they went into the kitchen "Hibiki connected the highest surge protection they've got to the cooker since that uses more power. I'm glad Uzume had her card, it cost a fortune. I just hope it works" Hikari indicated a single pan of water simmering on the hob. She looked at Kazehana's confused expression "You haven't told her yet have you?" she turned towards Miya.
Miya was ignoring her and walking to the door, she shut it after she went through. Uzume, Hibiki, and Hikari turned to watch the gently simmering water; Kazehana watched as well, wondering why. The water suddenly boiled and the pan half emptied almost immediately. From upstairs came a muted 'bang' and Matsu's voice saying 'Bugger' the fuses had tripped but the cooker was still working and the water boiling merrily away. Hibiki pulled the plug from the wall. "Good job we use lightning otherwise that would have given me even more of a shock" she sucked a burnt finger.
Kazehana looked confused "Minato's home from work, he's just given Miya a kiss" Uzume supplied, she pointed to the door. As Kazehana turned three feet of wing was glowing through it.
The wing vanished and the door opened, Miya came in with Minato. Kazehana looked at the innocuous youth she'd seen leaving this morning, she started staring without realising what she was doing, all of a sudden he just seemed to be so aaahhh. The others in the kitchen were ignoring her as they talked of the next thing to try. Gradually the conversation petered out in the silence around them and they all turned to watch.
Kazehana was now sweating, her eyes were fixed like a leopard on its prey. Where she was normally quite blasé about the opposite sex she seemed to be panting, little flashes of light shot out from around her back and sides.
"Fu Fu my oh my. Mi chan you seem to be a panacea for Sekirei ills"
"What Miya" Minato was almost hiding behind her looking at Kazehana as flashes appeared all around her "What's going on?"
Miya turned "We'd better go to our room for a moment" she turned Minato and with her hands on his shoulders moved him back through the kitchen door. As they went through Miya left the door open, Kazehana followed her eyes still fixed on the back of Minato's head. She wasn't aware of moving, just keeping the object of her desires in sight. Miya moved Minato into her room and set him as far away from the door as possible she then flipped the futon down on the floor and moved to stand beside the door and waited.
Kazehana appeared, she'd lost sight of Minato and wasn't happy. Now she could see him again she returned to her slow stalking. The flashes getting quicker and brighter the nearer she got. Behind her were the others residents of Izumo inn, they'd all followed her and were watching to see what was going to happen. Musubi was almost dancing with joy. They followed Kazehana into the room stopped at the door by Miya; Kazehana was now standing next to Minato, she was vibrating the flashes filling the room with light. "We'll watch Kazehana get winged and then give you a little privacy. Remember what I told you Mi chan our society isn't monogamous and Kazehana is old enough"
Minato looked at her in shock, afraid to move as the pulsing Kazehana stood just beside him. "You're happy with this" his eyes flicked to Kazehana and the pulsing increased.
"We'll have eons together, all of us as one big happy family." She looked at Kazehana "This is Kazehana my friend; Sekirei number three, the wind Sekirei. Please kiss her Mi chan before she explodes"
Minato turned to look at Kazehana, Miya's comments seen to sum up the situation very well. He was sacred to move as to what would happen if he did, the more he looked at her the quicker the pulsing got and he realised that the longer he waited the worse it would be, he moved a hand towards her.
Something inside Kazehana saw the movement; she was no longer capable of any form of rational thought or movement. She was running purely on instinct, her mind a frenzy of thoughts too fast for anything to be considered. She launched herself at Minato grabbing him so he couldn't escape and attached herself to his lips as the nearest thing to satisfy her cravings. She wasn't aware that during the long kiss her wings appeared and the light filled the room, she was aware of the intense heat now starting to build within her and her instincts now turned to lust.
Still kissing him pressed against the wall her hands started removing the irritating things in the way of her needs. Buttons and zips were far beyond her mental capabilities at the moment, she just tore Minato's clothes apart. Miya had moved the others out as soon as Kazehana's wings had appeared, she knew what was going to happen next, she shut the door and hoped that Mi chan made it to the futon otherwise he'd have a lot of bruising.
Minato's thoughts were getting incoherent; Kazehana had kissed him for a long time then without warning ripped his clothes off. He was still pressed against the wall but now standing naked with her pressed hard against him. He felt the pressure move away from his body and hoped it was over, then he heard another ripping sound and the pressure was back even harder. This time it wasn't covered in cloth, it was hot bare flesh pressed hard almost as if she wanted to go through him. However with her feet outside his on either side, the heat generated from one specific part of her pressed harder than the rest left no doubt what she wanted. His hand was grabbed and placed on one of her large breasts; he felt her shudder against him. Almost instinctively he moved his thumb over the erect nipple, she arched, her hips shot forwards as she pressed herself even harder against him, she finally released him from the kiss.
He gulped in huge breaths of air and the stars and dizziness started to fade. He realised that they were alone and the futon was on the floor. Kazehana was starting to move forwards again, in desperation he gave the nipple a gentle squeeze and moved the other hand to her other breast. She arched again and ground her hips into him. "Futon" was all he had time to say before she'd attacked him again, making sure his hands stayed where they were but the single word had got through. With one hand holding him firmly pressed against her and her other arm around him she inelegantly carried him to the futon. Still holding him in place she sank to her knees, she moved him slightly and settled herself down straddling him. When he was lying on the futon she carried on sinking then lent forwards and pushed herself down as hard as she could, she took one of his hands away and started pulling the back of his head so that his mouth would replace it and just stayed there quivering; waiting. As his mouth closed around her nipple the muscles around him went into an incredible spasm and she started screaming inarticulately in ecstasy. Minutes later, when her first desire had been satisfied she got down to some serious gratification.
The others had been hurried from the room and sat down looking beyond the garden. They were in the eye of a tremendous storm. They heard her scream and the storm enraged about them, then after a while settled down a little. Kagari had appeared and sat wondering what was going on he'd felt the huge surge in energy; when he heard the scream he looked sharply at Miya. "Kazehana" was all she said as they returned to watching the destruction beyond the gardens.
.
Takami had programmed her system to throw up anything relating to Minato or the inn. The first thing that appeared was the notification of a winging. Minato's picture was beside Kazehana's. Takami grimaced she and Kazehana didn't get on all that well. But with her as his Sekirei Minato was getting serious protection she hoped that he'd wing Matsu as well. She went back to her work. She was interrupted by a news report of a serious and localised tornado. It didn't appear to be moving but staying in one spot. She watched the pictures in disbelief at the power displayed on the screen. She knew it was centred on the inn, but everything around had been scoured away. Trees and cars were spinning around in the vast column, still watching she reached for the phone to arrange accommodation for those whose homes had been destroyed and for the news report to be cut off to the public then deleted. M.B.I. personnel would take over the clean up from the police and other services. Since it was in a commuter area she hoped that the homes were empty, she then stayed watching for the next hour until the storm subsided. Knowing what had happened she was a little proud of her son, it seemed his stamina was something to be respected.
As they watched Musubi and Kusano were the only ones who didn't know what was keeping it going. After a half hour the others were staring at a serene Miya. When the storm gradually subsided Matsu was all but quivering herself where she sat. The others were just in shock. The last leaf slowly floated down and Miya stood up. "We'll start getting dinner ready when I get back; I'll have to rearrange the rooms again" she looked at Matsu, "At this rate you'll be getting company" she left and went back to her room.
She shut the door and turned to look at the two; she smiled as she realised that Minato had made it to the futon. Kazehana was laying naked asleep and obviously sated next to a shocked Minato; she moved to the futon and knelt down beside him.
"Are you all right Mi chan" she asked as she gently stroked his face, he'd sat up when she'd appeared through the door.
"I'm" he blushed and looked away not knowing what to say. Finally he hugged her with his face turned away "I'm sorry I couldn't stop her, please forgive me" he was crying.
"Fu Fu there's nothing to forgive" she kissed him "I told you that Sekirei accept polygamy as normal." She kissed him again this time longer "we accept all who are genuine partners" another kiss "In to our family" was huskily whispered into his ear. "Mi chan I can't wait for later" She was burning up "I'll just show you how happy I am"
.
Takami listened to a report from near the site now coming through heavy static. She shook her head to clear it and lit another cigarette. All thoughts of working had vanished, she was wondering how long it would be before she could phone Kagari. In the meantime she called the restaurant and the hotel; then for her car to collect her; she might as well wait close by; at this rate the restaurant would be bypassed.
Uzume had reset the fuse box and plugged the kettle in for a drink when the storm had finished. However while she was getting the pot and cups ready it tripped again. The kettle made a strange noise and burnt out. She looked despondent then filled a pan with water. "Kagari can you please help we all need a drink" she held it while he heated the water.
Sitting drinking the tea in the candlelight seemed romantic, but for the slight noises coming from another part of the inn; Musubi finally understood what was going on and was asleep with a happy smile. Hikari suddenly sat up "Let's just change to gas cooking, we can get a tank outside and a gas hob and oven. We can even use gas for heating the bath water"
"We can keep the candles I like this light though" Uzume said
Finishing his tea Kagari stood "I need to get to work, I'll wash and change there" He left the inn but didn't get far, a car was waiting with a very frustrated Takami in the back seat.
Mutsu had felt Kazehana as she was winged; he looked to the north again. A horrible suspicion was forming in his mind. Mikogami had also winged a Sekirei with similar abilities to Matsu and he went to her room to check. "Hey that looks like the same Ashikabi who winged number one" she said and pulled up more details "It is, look"
"Can you bring his file up please" Mutsu asked
"Sure it's in the open area" the file appeared with two other Sekirei. Mutsu looked at the face of Yume and read number eighty eight.
"Bring up eighty eight's file if you can please" His voice was quiet, more suspicions were forming and he didn't like them at all.
"Course I can it's also in the open area" the file appeared and the Sekirei made a noise "There's also an attached but hidden series behind these" she worked for some time then they appeared. Together they read of the arranged 'kidnapping' of eighty eight and the 'rescue' by Karasuba and Yume; in actuality Yume's execution and a final test for Karasuba. Then Karasuba's brief report on Yume passing her soul to Eighty eight to escape and ensure they both lived.
"Hide you've ever seen these if you can; then get me everything you can on Sahashi Minato." He turned her to face him "Never tell anyone what you've just seen, we'll never speak about it again" she mouthed Mikogami and he shook his head "If anyone ever finds out we're dead"
Kagari was exhausted as he walked back to the inn the next morning, he now knew where Minato got his stamina. As if to think of the devil he appeared, coming down the other way towards the inn was Minato. 'I'm a Sekirei and tired, he looks as if he's just woken from a good sleep' thought Kagari more than a little irritated.
"They closed the site, so I've come back, we're all on full pay though" he looked at Kagari "Rough night? you'd better get some sleep" Kagari kept his verbalisation to a minimum, he knew Minato had a sister and prayed he'd never meet her.
Minato's forced unemployment was quite useful, while Hibiki and Hikari with Musubi's help were getting the kitchen and the bath converted to gas with two very large propane tanks set in the garden Minato took Kazehana shopping for her ring. She looked stunning in a kimono and clothes were also on the shopping list. Miya went to the shops to order large stocks of food and other supplies to be delivered, Matsu had told her stage two would start soon and Tokyo would become a closed city. Kusano watched the gas go in and played in the garden. She wanted to make things grow in the area around the inn but Miya had told her that the wind would come again and the plants would die. She contented herself with making the garden look as pretty as she could.
Minato and Kazehana had a private wedding ceremony presided over by Miya as the sun went down that evening. He accepted her pledge with a ring, Kazehana felt relief as it went on, then he kissed her again. It was as if he'd winged her for a second time; the storm was even more ferocious than the first, but it died soon after their lips parted. They didn't have to worry about neighbours, M.B.I. had brought the surrounding blocks for twice the value and free accommodation in the meantime if they moved at once. With the strange power surges and tornados they all snapped up the offer.
