I apologize for the delay on the series I was just getting somethings over with for school and I've been dealing with some stuff but I'm back. I'm gonna try to upload chapters every couple days.
Ok, some of you have questions about somethings in my series. I've been getting a lot of the same questions especially in my inbox but I'm going to fix any confusion I may have left you all.
Question 1 - Why hasn't Minaka contacted them?
It's because Minaka isn't in my series. I'm not using much original characters in my series. The Sekireis are different I'll be using all the original ones. The Game Master in my series isn't like Minaka in any way other than the fact that they're both crazy when it comes to their kind of "entertainment". The Game Master in my series is going to be a female and she'll be introduced once Matsuo wings his third Sekirei.
Question 2 - Why did I tone Karasuba down during the fight?
The reason for that is to make it a little more fair and a bit more interesting (hopefully). We all know Karasuba could easily annihilate Oriha and Ichiya in the previous chapter. I could have just made her terminate both of them but I have future plans with Oriha and Ichiya before that happens. I was planning on balancing her out with the other Sekirei for now.
Question 3 - What are my intentions between Matsuo and Higa?
That's something the series will answer for you so just sit tight because I know it'll keep you interested.
Question 4 - How does Uzume fit in the story?
Uzume fits for the reason I came up with. It'll be explained soon in the future but I know when it gets to that point some will question that too.
Question 5: Why am I making Matsuo undergo training by Karasuba?
My reasons for that is because he's been through a lot getting abused by everyone and I think to fit the theme of the story he should be able to defend himself incase that happens again (it will). He should be able to hold his own when the time does come.
I apologize for the confusion I should have been more specific when I finish the chapters. I'm going to start specifying my reasons for certain things throughout each chapter that might confuse you. Until then I hope you guys like the series I'm trying my best to make it enjoyable and to keep it interesting. I hope you all enjoy the chapter.

"Master Higa we failed to get No.10." Oriha said bowing her head in shame.
"Seems you both got into quite the fight, this couldn't have been No.10 since she wasn't winged." Higa said not really caring much for the apology.
"It was that former Disciplinary Squad member getting in our way." Ichiya said.
"Disciplinary Squad member?" Higa looked at them with interest.
"Yeah, the Black Sekirei No.4 Karasuba." Ichiya said sounding a bit terrified.
"Karasuba huh? I'm not surprised you guys had trouble but why would she defend another Sekirei?" Higa asked them.
"It must have been her Ashikabi who dragged her along." Kakizaki said calmly.
"Ashikabi?"
"Yeah I didn't get a good look at the face but there was something about him that reminded me of you. I just don't understand why. I'll check it out right away Higa." Kakizaki said.
"Good, I'm real curious to know who winged Karasuba." Higa said facing the window looking outside at the city.

The next morning Matsuo woke up but couldn't feel his arm for some reason. He lifted the blanket with his left arm and saw Uzume lying down holding his arm. She was only wearing one of his shirts and looked like she had no underwear on. Matsuo blushed but turned away he didn't want her to wake up and see him staring at her like that. He decided to lay back down hoping Uzume will wake up soon since he didn't wanna disturb her sleep.
He then heard the door open and Karasuba walked in. Matsuo looked at her and didn't know how to explain what she saw. Her facial expression changed a bit but she quickly smirked to hide it.
"I ordered breakfast again, I hope that's ok kid." Karasuba said walking out of the room. "Oh and remember I train you today. Be prepared for the worst."
Matsuo gulped and the way she said it but was feeling a bit happy.
At least she cares enough to help me defend myself. I hope it's not as bad as I think it is. Matsuo thought as he saw Uzume finally getting up.
"Good morning Matsuo." Uzume said rubbing her eyes. She looked at her Ashikabi and smiled at him.
"Good morning Uzume." Matsuo said smiling back.
Uzume got up and Matsuo did the same but he noticed she wasn't wearing underwear. He smirked but hid it when Uzume looked at him.
"It's a lot better sleeping with you then it is sleeping alone Matsuo." Uzume said blushing a bit. "Can I sleep here more often?"
Matsuo looked at her and and blushed back.
"S-Sure." Matsuo replied starting to turn away from her. Uzume prevented that by gently putting both her hands on his cheeks and giving him a light kiss. She pulled back and smiled at him.
"I'm glad you winged me Matsuo. Now lets go get ready. You got training to do but first we eat." Uzume said smiling.
Matsuo smiled back. "Yeah."

After eating he changed into a black tank top, and gray sweats with black training shoes and walked down the stairs to find Karasuba waiting for him. Karasuba looked at him and noticed how huge his arms were. She never noticed that and he wore a tank top before.
Were they always like that? I haven't noticed until right now how big they were. Karasuba kept staring until Matsuo snapped her out of her thought.
"Karasuba what are you staring at and why is your face turning red?" Matsuo asked.
Karasuba turned away. "It's nothing kid."
Matsuo shrugged his shoulders and waited for his Sekirei to say something.
"You ready kid?" she asked.
"Yes." Matsuo said sounding surprisingly calm.
Karasuba led him to a door on the first floor by the kitchen and opened it revealing a huge training area with sandbags, weights, treadmills, a huge mat to train, a weapons room and a ring, it was basically a home gym. Matsuo became excited and looked at everything.
"This is awesome!" Matsuo said happily.
"I'm glad you like it kid but now it's time for business." Karasuba said pulling out her sword.
Matsuo stumbled back and fell. "Are you crazy!? Are you trying to kill me!?"
Karasuba laughed a bit at her Ashikabi's expense. She walked over to a corner and put the sword down. "Relax kid your not ready yet. We'll start off easy well it's easy for me at least but see those wooden swords over there?"
Matsuo looked around then saw them hung on the wall. "Yes."
"Well, we'll be using those until I feel that you're ready to handle a real sword." Karasuba said.
"That sounds good." Matsuo said getting the swords.
He tossed one to Karasuba and she caught it. They both stared at each other from opposite sides.
"Have you used a sword before?" Karasuba asked.
"Not really but I've watched plenty of movies so I have an idea." Matsuo said.
"Show me your stance." Karasuba said.
Matsuo twirled the wooden sword and faced the tip behind him. Karasuba looked at him surprised by the stance.
"Pretty good stance kid I have to admit but I wanna see what you can do."
Matsuo rushed at her and swung the sword to attack her. Karasuba deflected it and poked Matsuo's abdomen.
Karasuba sighed. "Gotta be quicker than that kid."
Matsuo glared at her. "I'm only human give me a break."
"If you want to at least put up a fight then put some effort into your swings and time them perfectly!" Karasuba ordered him.
Matsuo was a little surprised but he smirked. "Alright sensei you're the boss."
"Sensei? I like that. You better address me as that only during training." Karasuba smirked at him.
"Okay Sensei!" Matsuo said happily.
"Now come on! Trainings not close to being over yet!" Karasuba said motioning him to charge at her.
After 5 hours of training Matsuo started getting better and better by the minute. Matsuo was damaged from the swings Karasuba had landed on him. Matsuo was in pain but it was nothing he wasn't already used too which was why he told Karasuba not to pull back on her hits.. although her hits were a lot more powerful than he was already adapted too. It was good for his body to be able to withstand the force of a Sekirei.
"Kid that's enough for today. You're worn out. Tomorrow we'll continue now go get some rest." Karasuba said walking towards her sword.
"How…are…..you not..tired?" Matsuo asked panting heavily.
"Kid, light training like this will never wear me out. It takes more than that to make me tired." Karasuba said picking up her sword.
Matsuo limped up the stairs with Karasuba following him. She turned out the lights and closed the door. She felt a certain presence coming towards their location. She smirked and walked towards the kitchen to see Uzume cooking dinner.
"You, I'm gonna need you to do something for me." Karasuba said with a serious tone.
Uzume looked at Karasuba. "What is it?"
"Enemies are on their way over here, I'm gonna take care of them so if Matsuo asks for me tell him I had to go somewhere that I'll be back by nightfall." Karasuba told her.
"I'll help you." Uzume said.
Karasuba walked towards the door. "Stay here in case one of them some how manages to slip passed me so you can defend Matsuo."
"You don't think?" Uzume asked.
"Nah, but you may never know what they might be after so just stay here and act like everything is ok. We don't wanna worry him now do we?" Karasuba smirked at her before closing the door to fight off the incoming threats.
Uzume smiled and turned back to finishing the dinner she was preparing.
You're not like you used to be Karasuba. Uzume thought.

Uzume was unaware that Matsuo heard everything making him worried and angry. He limped to his room up the stairs and started looking out the window watching the sunset.
He heard the door open behind him in his room.
"Dinner's ready Matsuo." Uzume said.
"I lost my appetite." Matsuo replied not turning around.
"If you do get hungry it'll be downstairs waiting for you." Uzume said closing the door. She knew Matsuo was worried deep down because she felt it.

Karasuba jumped on top of a building that was a bit far from the Penthouse. She looked around for anyone and saw two different faces. The heading towards the Penthouse. Her eyes narrowed and focused on the two heading in that direction. She jumped off the building unsheathing her sword. She appeared in front of the two pointing her sword towards them to stop them.
"Where do you both think you're going?" Karasuba asked calmly.
"We're here to follow our Ashikabi's orders. Stand aside." One of the two Sekireis said.
Karasuba smirked. "I should be the one telling you that, I'm surprised you both don't know who I am. Allow me to demonstrate."
In the blink of an eye Karasuba cut through one of the two Sekireis. She turned back to the other one.
"Too bad your friend wouldn't know who I am now. It's your turn." Karasuba said.
"You're the Black Sekirei! I know about your reputation but I'm not going to back down from you. I No.79 accept your challenge."
Karasuba laughed. "You're a lot dumber than you look but very well."
Karasuba charged No.79 causing her to jump. The Black Sekirei disappeared making No.79 confused on her whereabouts.
"Goodbye." Karasuba said before cutting through her opponent.
She looked at her two opponents and waited for MBI to recognize her as the winner.
"This can't be it they were far too weak." Karasuba said to herself. She walked off after she saw MBI. She knew something was off about the situation but she left it alone for now. As she continued her walk she realized it became dark rather quickly. She decided to go back home so she can eat something since she was getting hungry.
When she finally made it she walked inside. The first thing she did was went to check on Matsuo to see if he was alright. She opened his door and saw him asleep but she also noticed Uzume snuggled up against him. Her calm expression turned into a serious one. She left the room and went downstairs to get something to eat.
She heard footsteps and looked to see Matsuo.
"Weren't you sleeping?" Karasuba said sounding calm.
"Nah, I was up waiting for you until Uzume forced me to lay down with her. I just closed my eyes and waited for you to come home... I was worried." Matsuo said sitting down next to her.
"You were worried about me?" she asked blushing lightly.
"Yeah, I overheard you and Uzume talking. I wanted to go stop you myself but I knew you were dead serious about getting whoever was on their way over here. I'm happy your unharmed." Matsuo said.
Karasuba's blush went away and she smirked at him. "I'm one of the strongest Sekirei there is, you don't need to worry about me kid."
"No matter what I'd always worry about you and Uzume too. You both are my Sekirei and I'm your Ashikabi. What we have is special and I don't want to lose the only two people who actually love me for me. That's why I want to train hard so that when the time comes that you both need me, I can protect you both." Matsuo said with determination.
Karasuba's light blush came back but she shook it off.
"I'm glad you're enthusiastic on helping us but we'll both be fine as long as you're with us." Karasuba said finishing her meal. "Go to bed kid you'll need your rest for tomorrow's training."
Matsuo smiled and stood up. "Alright goodnight Karasuba."
"Goodnight kid." Karasuba said as she watched her Ashikabi walk upstairs.
She sighed and walked up to her room to get ready for tomorrow.
Hope you guys liked this chapter. I personally did but it's not my opinion that matters to me it's the reader's. Again I apologize for the delay I'm gonna try to avoid making you guys wait for the next chapter that long but if it happens again just try to be patient because it will come. I don't know the name of Sekirei No.79 but she got trashed by Karasuba like how it should be. It wasn't an epic fight scene but I promise I'll get to the better fights to showcase Karasuba's strength and Uzume will be fighting soon if your also wondering about that. For his 3rd wing I'll let you wait for it. The next Chapter takes you a bit into Matsuo's past (since he never finished his explanation in the 3rd chapter) and he also wings his 3rd Sekirei. Sorry if I spoiled to much I wanted to give you a bit of the idea of the next chapter coming. Thank you to everyone whose read my story thus far and I hope you all continue to support me and the series. Oh yeah, if you guys want to become a character let me know through Private Message. I'm only accepting 5, you can either be a Sekirei or an Ashikabi. If you're an Ashikabi tell me who your Sekirei is/are, appearance, and write a bit of a background story. For Sekirei just tell me what your power is, what your prayer is when you use Norito, movelist, appearance, you know basic stuff. I need 4 Disciplinary Squad members and whoever I like the best out of the 4 will be the leader of the Disciplinary Squad. Again thank you for the support and the suggestions. It is greatly appreciated ^_^
