AN: Hello guys/gals I was really overwhelmed by the responses to the one shot I had posted, tbh it was just an idea I had floating around in my head, a really a 'what if' scenario. I have however given it some thought and I will continue this Fanfic but please bear with the update times, as I want to deliver the best possible story I can. Thank you for your support and please continue to support me by reading and leaving a review. Thank you and enjoy!

How many hours? No how many days has it been…thought Karasuba, she was standing near the right corner of the white hospital room. She had counted around nineteen or so near death flatlines from the heart monitor that stood on top the bedside table, the wires from the IV sending life saving fluids directly to his arm presumably helping him recover so why wasn't she confident that he would survive? She hadn't thought that being winged and desiring someone could emerge feelings that she didn't know that existed deep within her.

Three days… three whole days and Minato's only responses were the fluctuations of his heart monitor, she watched it all, the ragged breathing, the eerily awkward silence of his chest and the deafening sound of his heart stopping causing the doctors to use some mechanical device to resuscitate him as they call it. Everytime that happened she felt a strange emotion that she was about to yet again lose something just like with Yume, however this little human wasn't a Sekirei or her rival he was her Ashikabi. These feelings need to stop I need to only use him to gain power and carry on my plan to destroy everything in existence on this excuse for a planet she thought as she smiled internally.

Minato was for worse for wear at this point, his already battered body trying desperately to repair itself and bring it to a more healthy level. She could feel him slipping away, years of battling enemies had given her an inherit ability to sense these things. This was great… she thought as pent up anger inside of her asked for release, the one person she had found amiable on this miserable planet and she had killed him.

If he did eventually die she would make good on her promise and destroy everything in sight, and she would find pleasure in it as well; ripping these pathetic creatures' limbs apart like paper, listening their screams would be like music to her ears and… and… so why wasn't she happy.

She walked up closer to Minato, his face was somewhat normal now the large swelling that covered his eye had almost recovered the rest of his face however was still covered in purple bruises some turning lighter in colour. His body was covered save for his arm that had the IV fluids running downwards and into his blood stream. His hair was still jet black however was bound by a bandage that ran around his forehead.

She placed her hand on his lightly purple cheek, Live damnit…Live damn you I still need you for the plan…I have to defeat number one and Musubi… but … but… DAMN IT! I NEED YOU WAKE UP! The last part emerged from her thoughts as she shouted her light crimson eyes now open as she clutched his face harder How dare this weakling give her so much pain!... I should just end his wasteful existence now then I wouldn't feel this pain in my chest…, she thought as she pressed harder on his face, she had enough of this nonsense as she raised her fist and punched him in the lower abdomen as hard as she could. The only response she got was sudden recoil from his body and a small trickle of blood escaping his swollen lips.

She was fully focused on his gentle face which now looked like it was in pain, not realising she was the cause she kept her eyes trained on the young boy in front of her, as the heart rate monitor picked up in beats faster and faster.

Minato knew he had to wake up, he was in a blissful dream back home in the country side with his grandmother, mother and sister all living happily… well as happily as it could be, his mother giving him mountains of books to read up on and his younger sister treating him like a pony and wanting him to carry her everywhere and he did it with a smile because this was the best time of his life just being close to his family, yet there was someone always watching him.

He had felt a strange presence there with him, a ghostly woman with blood red eyes following him around glaring at him, her gray hair complimenting her complexion. He could hardly make out who she was, he hadn't seen her before and it seemed from the responses he had gotten from his family he was the only one to see her.

He was scared of her that much he knew however there was an aura of sadness to her, as if she was in deep depression. He was in his room studying trying his best not to show his unwelcomed guest his frightened state, when he heard her shout DAMN IT! I NEED YOU! Minato couldn't stand it anymore he turned around to look at her from his study table, and reached for her face.

Karasuba had shut her eyes and shouted for him to wake up; the disappearance of her rival and now her only Ashikabi was too much even for her to bear, if he didn't awake in the next day she would have to kill him and move on as a lone member of the duo. She felt a trembling bandaged hand on her face clumsily trying to wipe away the stray tear that was rolling down her cheek.

There was Minato doing his signature smile as he opened his weary eyes and spoke in a strained voice, "I-I'm sorry for mak-ing you s-sad… I'm awake now."

She could hardly believe it, the huma…Ashikabi was awake and the first thing he does is apologise to her. She hadn't encountered such a weakling in her life, not only was he apologising for nothing again he was trying his best to comfort her. I need to really kill him before I start to lose it…she thought as she looked at his trembling face in despair, almost forgetting she had let him see her in an emotional state.

She narrowed her eyes and made an evil smile, "It is good that you are awake, I was about to end your pathetic life." She spoke matter of factly.

"I-I see… Thank you for letting m-me live… Karasuba-san." He spoke as she titled his head so he could get a better look at her sheet white face.

"I see your well, I will have to leave for a while I have… certain duties to attend to, remember that you belong to me now and if you betray me I will smear your blood all over the city Sahashi Minato." She smirked as she placed a kiss on his forehead, turned around picked up her longsword leaving behind a very frightened and tired Minato.

Stepping outside his room she felt the unknown male approach her, she had sensed him before but until now the awaking of her Ashikabi was all that mattered to her. Turning around to greet him, she smiled at him and enquired, "So you reveal yourself now?"

The black haired man straightened his glasses, looking formal in his blue suit he replied, "Your Ashikabi has awoken has he not?"

"It appears as he as, and this would be your concern how?"

"If you want him to recover back to his healthy state you would be wise to allow us to take him to our facilities where we can offer him the best of care, even better than the outdated medical technology that MBI offers."

"Oh? And you would do this for us from the kindness of your heart?" She smiled sarcastically.

"I see you are more knowledgeable than you let on number four."

"Oh? So you know who I am."

"My employer Higa Izumi knows a lot more about this plan than anyone else, and we also know about your Ashikabi, it would be a shame if he suffered a medical complication in a place like this."

As soon as he had spoken that last sentence Karasuba's sword was unsheathed and she was behind the man, his arms constricted by hers rendering him disabled in her hold. Her eyes opened to reveal her crimson iris as she spoke her sharpened blade mere millimeters from his bare neck. "You pitiful creature, you actually dare to threaten my Ashikabi? Don't make me laugh! Tell your boss this…If one hair on my Ashikabi's head is misplaced by the time I return I will find you, I will find your employer and I swear on the crest of my Ashikabi I WILL kill everything when I see you. Now I have things to do if you will excuse me."

Kakizaki dropped to his knees as Karasuba jumped out the window, the sweat dripping from his brow as he opened Sahashi Minato's room to find the youth sleeping soundly his heart now stable. He silently wished that he never came to be on the receiving end of Sekirei number four's wrath, he almost felt sorry for the boy sleeping infront of him as he walked forward towards the table where a small deposit of tissues were kept, he reached for one and placed it near his adam's apple wiping the blood from the thin cut the black Sekirei had given him prior.

Stepping outside he retrived his cell phone from the internal pocket of his business suit and dialed a familiar number as the other side picked up there was no greeting no formalities Kakizaki just spoke in a low tone, "We have some…complications with Sahashi Minato's Sekirei…"

Karasuba felt relieved that Minato was alive atleast now she didn't have to kill him, He is quite fun to have around…maybe we can continue from where we left off at the warehouse, she thought as she picked up speed heading towards the largest building in central Tokyo.
