During the fight With Akitsu and Musubi

Akitsu and Musubi stared down at where their Ashikabi was with worried eyes at least in Musubi's case, Akitsu had a small downturn of her lips, and they both could feel something was up with Minato. When the six people had appeared they had felt excitement over the bond and a small spike of energy, and the way he spoke to them just didn't seem like Minato. Anyone could tell the two were upset at the moment. The area around Akitsu was starting to freeze with a light fog coming off the ground and the buildings around them. Musubi was clenching her fists and an almost teary eyed expression.

"Musubi-san!"Came a shout from above. Both Musubi and Akitsu looked up in time to see a woman that seemed identical to Musubi come down with another woman who had grey hair in a pony tail and a smile that seemed almost fox like on her face with her eyes squinted closed. Both of the women were dressed in identical fashion. They both wore a tight black leather top, a miniskirt and stockings, over their shoulders was a grey haori with the SekireiCrest printed on it.

Musubi's eyes widened as did Akitsu's though for different reasons. Musubi because the woman who seemed identical to Musubi was Yume and the other was Karasuba. Akitsu's eyes widened because both women were members of the disciplinary squad. Both of the women also carried swords and both probably had far greater powers than Musubi and herself combined. "Yume-nee!Karasuba-sama!" Musubi shouted to the two descending Sekirei with glee.

Yume smiled as she landed gracefully while Karasuba still had the creepy fox like smile on her face. Yume hugged Musubi and Musubi hugged her back both wore smiles. "Musubi where were you? I told you not to move!" The older version of Musubi scolded and Musubi pouted. "Musubi would've stayed but two mean bullies came after Musubi, making Musubi run away." Musubi tried to explain, Yume's smile went to a neutral tone at the mention of the two 'bullies' before resuming smiling. "Well at least you're safe." Musubi nodded and then her expression went into one of pure excitement.

"Yume-nee! I found my Ashikabi, Isn't it great?" Musubi cheered, Yume and Karasuba shifted their attention to the excitable girl. "Oh really Musubi-chan? Is he nice and loving like everything you imagined?" Karasuba said in a nearly mocking tone. Musubi nodded her head but then let her expression into a slightly depressed one. "Yes he is, sometimes. But Minato-san went to fight people. "Musubi said at the end with Karasuba raising an eyebrow and cracking her eyelid open slightly, exposing a small portion of crimson irises for a moment. Yume frowned and looked at Musubi. "Then why aren't you with him?" She asked worriedly.

Musubi sniffed a moment like she would break out into tears at a moment's notice. "Minato-san sent Musubi and Akitsu-san away. He told us to go away." Yume and Karasuba for the first time took notice of the ice Sekirei who was watching the area where Minato was intently. But she turned her head a fraction towards the three when her name was mentioned. Yume had a stunned expression on her face and Karasuba a raised eyebrow at the sight of the once broken Sekirei with a crest on her back instead of her head.

Then the three Sekirei who had a little reunion took notice of the purple dome where Minato once was. "Minato-san."Musubi whispered worriedly at the sight of the dome with strange glyphs on it. "Akitsu-san what happened?" Musubi asked her fellow Sekirei worriedly. Akitsu returned her attention back to the dome. "Ah…I don't know. The dome….just popped up." The three Sekirei went and joined their fellow Sekirei on the ledge of the building and studied the barrier. Then they watched as several large cracks appeared on the dome like it was glass or ice and it shattered.

Karasuba's interest was piqued by her friends Ashikabi if he could do something like this. Yume had a pondering look on her face. "What was that?" Yume asked herself more than anyone but Musubi answered anyway. "Minato-san is a mage!" Musubi cheered as she felt her Ashikabi through their bond and he felt uninjured and actually quite relaxed. They looked down the street and saw Minato approach the building they were perched on with a dull bored expression on his face.

"Minato-sama."Akitsu said relief in her voice. Minato glanced up at them and nodded his head before resuming walking. Akitsu jumped off the buildings edge and seemed to glide down to the street, while Musubi just jumped off and ran to the side of her Ashikabi. Yume and Karasuba remained at the buildings edge studying the male from their vantage point.

Yume felt a slight skip in her heart beat while Karasuba felt excitement bubble up inside her. It left Karasuba confused for a moment wonder how a human could possibly excite her. The two women jumped off the building and right in front of Minato's path. Minato for his part just stared at them for a moment with dull blank eyes devoid of almost all emotion. "Who are you and what do you want?" Minato asked his old emotionless ice like voice back.

Karasuba refrained from shivering at the boy's voice. The way he spoke made her feel oh so very excited. On the other hand Yume frowned at the boy wondering why he was so cold. But none the less she felt a small upbeat in her heart at the boy'svoice. "My name is Yume and this is Karasuba." Yume began the introductions. "We wanted to thank you for looking after Musubi." Minato studied them for a moment before nodding his head at some silent thought.

"So I take it the two of you are Sekirei?" Minato asked the two with less coldness in his voice though it was far from a happy tone. Yume nodded her head while Karasuba still grinned that fox like grin of hers. "Very good Minato-san." Yume complimented. Minato nodded his head slightly in acceptance. Musubi walked towards her Ashikabi before whispering in his ear. After stepping backwards from Minato Musubi had an adorable and hopeful face plastered on.

Minato stared at her before hanging his head and nodding. Musubi whooped for joy and wrapped Yume in a bone breaking hug. "Um…not to ruin anything but, what just happened?" Karasuba asked after a moment of trying to pry Musubi from Yume who had just escaped from the hugging deathtrap known as Musubi. "Musubi asked me if I would allow you and Yume-sama a place at our home and I agreed."

"That's too kind Minato-san." Yume said as she gave Musubi a gracious look. "Do you accept?" Minato asked the two Sekirei. Yume and Karasuba glanced at each other before looking at Minato. "Yes I believe we will both accept your invitation." Minato bowed to the two women before motioning them to follow him. Musubi flanked Minato's left while Akitsu had his right side. Yume and Karasuba followed the trio through the city and watched as people on sidewalks seemed to part like the red sea.

Before the two super powered women realized it they were in front of Minato's home. Karasuba let out a small whistle in astonishment while Yume nodded approvingly. "It's good to know Musubi-chanand Akitsu-san are in good hands." Yume complimented. Minato gave an affirmative nod in appreciation. When Minato unlocked the door He removed his shoes as did the other four women.

"Karasuba-sama, Yume-sama I will show you to your rooms now if you please." Minato said as he gestured down the hall. Yume nodded her head with a faint dusting of pink on her cheeks while Karasuba licked her lips slightly. 'Oh I know what would please me.' Karasuba thought to herself before catching herself. 'Get out of my head little human.' She thought to herself before following Yume down the hallways.

Karasuba may have hated humans but she wasn't going to turn down free room and board. Minato lead them to two of the many empty rooms of the house before excusing himself to go prepare dinner. Once he was gone Yume looked at Karasuba and Vice Versa. "Well what do you think Yu-chan?" Karasuba asked her counterpart. After a second of hesitation Yume responded. "I think….I think I've found my Ashikabi." Yume said while the blush made itself apparent on her face.

Karasuba raised an eyebrow at her before shrugging. "What of you Karasuba-chan?" Yume asked after a moment. "I think he interests me and I want to do things to him. Things like Matsu-chanis always obsessed with." Yume's face took on the hue of a tomato at the insinuation. Matsu was a bit of a pervert…Okay that's an understatement. She's a super pervert.

After a moment Yume's face took a more normal color. "Speaking of Matsu. Where are she and the others at?" Yume asked before pulling out a phone she had bought using her MBI card. The other disciplinary squad members had also gotten them to communicate with each other. Yume dialed up Matsu and heard it ring for a moment.

After the third ring someone picked up the phone. "Hello?" Asked a familiar voice. "Hello Matsu-chan how are you and the others?" Asked Yume."Yu-chan! It's so great to hear you. The others and I are fine. How about yourself?" Matsu asked. "Karasuba-chan and I are fine we found Mu-chan who found her Ashikabi." At that the voice on the other side went silent. "Cool anything else?" Asked Matsu in the same chipper tone she had been using before.

"Actually the Ashikabi offered us a place to stay and it's certainly big enough for all of us and more to stay in if you guys come to us." Yume supplied. "Really! That's great news the others and myself will be right over just give us the address." Matsu asked excitedly. Yume gladly supplied the address and hung up with a smile on her face before facing Karasuba who had a small smile on her face.

"What?" Yume asked her partner. Karasuba chuckled. "Shouldn't you ask the hosts permission first?" She chided her brunet counterpart. Yume blushed upon that reasoning and hung her head. "I guess we should go tell him." She mumbled as she began to walk away only to be stopped by a voice.

"There is no need. I heard it all." Yume's eyes widened and Karasuba's opened up a fraction of an inch. Standing behind Yume was Minato with his emotionless face just standing there barefoot; neither had noticed he had been there. "Um…hi." Yume said chuckling nervously as she looked at Minato. "It's fine Yume-sama. As long as your friends do not cause trouble I see no harm in inviting them." Minato said inclining his head to her.

Yume let out a small sigh and smiled at Minato. "Thank you Minato-san. I'll try to warn you next time." Yume said before turning to her room to rest with Karasuba following shortly, but not before giving Minato an appraising look. Minato proceeded back to the kitchen to continue his work of preparing dinner. He stopped in the hallway in for a moment remembering that he forgot to ask how many more were coming, shrugging he decided it wouldn't matter.

So it was an hour later that a knock at the door that was answered by Yume. Standing in the door were five different women each different than the other. The first woman had waist length purple hair and brown eyes, she along with two other women wore the same outfit as Karasuba and Yume, and she had a katana attached to her hip. The next woman had red hair with side plaits and wore a pair of glasses covering her brown eyes. The next woman had long tied up black hair and slanted eyes she like Musubi was very well 'developed'.

The other two of the group were an odd pair. She was a slender female who bandage-wrapped form is covered by a tattered dark kimono, disheveled grey hair, a studded choker, and narrow eyes; giving her a wicked, daunting appearance, on her hands were a pair of claw like gauntlets. The other worea kimono-like shirt with one sleeve missing, and pink hair in a side ponytail with two daisy clips, on her hands were a pair of fighting gloves like Musubi, she seemed like an upbeat type of teenager contrasting to the gothic chick.

Yume smiled at the group of people at the door. "Miya-san welcome." The purple haired woman smiled at Yume before entering the house along with the others. After leaving their shoes with the rest of the houses occupant's shoes. "How are you Yume-san?" Yume smiled at the now named Miya asked. "I'm well how about you guys?" Yume asked the others. The red haired chick smiled at her. "Matsu-tan is well Yume-tan." Yume looked over at the red head and kept up her smile. "I'm glad to hear that Matsu-san." Yume looked over at the long haired brunette. "How about you Kazehana?"

The slanted eyed woman smiled back. "I'm good though if I had some Sake I'd be happier." Yume shook her head. "So the same as always then?"Questioned Yume with a small smile that had Kazehana smiling also. Finally Yume turned her head to the final two of the group. "How are you Benitsubasa, Haihane?"

The pink haired girl shrugged. "I'm fine Yume-sama; Haihane-chan though seems to keep forgetting she's wearing claws." The pink haired girl now identified as Benitsubasa looked toward the grey haired girl before shaking her head. While the others were all getting reacquainted Miya had studied the house. She had to admit it was a nice home though it was lacking…something. It felt empty and cold, no warmth that usually came with a home.

"Yume-san thank you for inviting us here." Miya said as she bowed slightly to the younger woman. Yume returned the bow before straightening up and giving her a small smile. "I'm not the one you need to thank Miya-san. It was Musubi'sAshikabi. In fact he prepared dinner if you would like to join us." Yume informed them.

Matsu and Kazehana grinned at Yume. "That sounds awesome. Does he have any Sake?" Asked Kazehana while Matsu began to giggle. "Oh. Does this Ashikabi look good? I bet he'd be good for some experiments." It was clear with the tone of voice that Matsu's experiments were perverted in nature. "Yume-nee! Dinners ready." Shouted a voice from the turned to the direction of the voice. "Okay Musubi-chan, we'll be there in a minute." Yume started off to the kitchen with the others trailing behind her.

When they entered the kitchen they were all surprised, even Yume, at the amount of food on the table. Said food consisted of Soba noodles, Miso soup, Onigiri, eggs, and various meats. Minato sat at the far end of the table at the head with Akitsu to his right and Musubi to his left. Karasuba had foregone her haori and sat next to Musubi. Miya and the others just stared at the food before noticing Yume motioning for them to sit. Yume took her place next to Akitsu with the others all beginning to sit down with Miya at the opposite side of Minato. Haihane took off her gauntlets thankfully revealing bandage wrapped hands leaving the fingers bare revealing her pale skin.

With a quick mutter of 'itadakimasu' every one dug in. Minato was once again awed by how much food a Sekirei could consume though he didn't show it on the outside. Miya and the other newly arrived Sekirei studied Minato. Minato also studied them sizing them up in case a fight would erupt. Only a half an hour later was all the food gone. The Sekirei were all full and grateful for Minato's hospitality.

Minato rose up from his position and grabbed all the plates and glasses he could carry before heading to the kitchen to clean up. Miya wanting to contribute grabbed the dishes Minato couldn't grab and headed towards the kitchen intending to help clean as well. Once inside the kitchen she watched as Minato went about cleaning the dishes, drying them and putting them away with a mechanical like efficiency. "Thank-you for having us Minato-san."Miya said as she went next to Minato and set the dishes with the rest of the dirty ones.

"You are welcome Miya-sama. Akitsu." Minato spoke in his monotone like voice that seemed to unnerve Miya slightly. The other Sekirei hadn't heard Minato speak yet. Akitsu was beside Minato in the span of two seconds. "Akitsu would you show our guests to their rooms? I need to finish up here and then I'll clean up and head to bed."

His tone had adopted a semblance of warmth when he spoke to Akitsu. Akitsu took a moment to respond. "Ah…of course Minato-sama."Akitsu tugged on Miya's shirt to get her to follow her before going to round up the other Sekirei. That left Minato alone in the kitchen washing and putting away dishes. While in the process of washing a plate clean Minato felt someone standing behind him. "Uh...Minato-san, I'd like to speak with you please." Yume said standing at the threshold of the kitchen.

Minato took a glance behind him to see Yume without her Haori on and standing there glancing at him with a small dusting of red on her cheeks. "Then do so Yume-sama." Minato said returning to washing the dishes. Then he felt her close in on him, next he felt Yume lean against his back her impressive bust pushing against his back while her warm breath tickled his ear. Minato paused in the midst of his washing. "Yume-sama?" He asked the woman.

Minato set the dish down before turning around in the woman's grip to get a look at her. Yume placed her head against his should at the crook of his neck. "Minato-san…I….I" She stuttered before looking down at the younger man. Now Minato noticed the atomic blush and the heavier breathing….just…like…Musubi….'well…shit.' Minato thought to himself before he felt the older woman's lips crash into his. Bright wings of light sprung from her back as her crest glowed brightly. Two wings of a bright yellow, almost white, light erupted from her back stretching around the kitchen before coming back together to cocoon Yume and Minato.

Yume licked his lips with her tongue asking for permission to enter. Minato gasped a little at the feeling before feeling Yume's tongue exploring his mouth. Yume deepened the kiss hugging Minato closer to her being. Finally parting for air Yume smiled lovingly down at her Ashikabi. "Sekirei number eight Yume yours now and forever." Minato stared at Yume for a moment blinking owlishly. The two wings in the meantime had disappeared; Akitsu, Musubi, and Karasuba all had their heads poking around the corner of the entry way looking on with various emotions.

Karasuba with excitement due to the fact she had felt Yume's power skyrocket when Minato was kissed by her. Musubi with pure love and joy happy that her older sister had found her chosen one and even happier that they would always be with adoration for her Ashikabi and happiness that another had joined her Ashikabi bettering his protection so she'd never lose him.

Minato slowly regained his bearings before noticing that Yume had hugged his face in between her breasts and was slowly suffocating him. He slowly pushed himself off of her taking a breath of fresh air while Yume chuckled nervously seeing as she had been suffocating him. Minato licked his lips while trying to find words to speak. "Uh…nice talk?" He tried with a little bit of confusion entering his voice. It wasn't really a talk more of Yume just kissing him.

Yume giggled at her Ashikabi before bending lower so she was at eyelevel with Minato. "Thank you Minato-san. I really needed that." Minato let a corner of his lips quirk upward in the beginning of a smile before going back to his neutral look. "I guess you will be living with us from now on?" Minato asked Yume who nodded. Minato bowed to her. "Then welcome home Yume-sama." Minato spoke and as he did a little bit of warmth entered his voice.

Yume nodded her thanks before giving Minato a small peck on the lips, Yume walked out with her hips swaying keeping Minato staring before he shook himself and went back to the dishes. The other members of the now retired disciplinary squad had felt the power that Yume had attained when she bonded with Minato.

Miya had smiled and went to retire to her bed. Matsu giggled while going on about Minato and experiments among other things before going to sleep. Kazehana had smiled longingly while remembering her past crush before nursing some Sake and going to sleep. Benitsubasa and Haihane both gulped slightly at the power level while also becoming determined to work their way to the top. Akitsu and Musubi went to bed in their rooms, they both knew that they'd sneak into their Ashikabi's room eventually but went to their room's none the less. Yume went to the room that'd been assigned to her by Minato.

Minato himself went about getting ready for bed. He donned a pair of athletic shorts and a black sleeveless shirt. Minato crawled into bed after finally finishing his nightly rituals. Once in bed and under the covers of said bed Minato sighed and relaxed. Closing his eyes as he tried to go to sleep only to tense up as he heard the door creep open accompanied by a pair of footsteps, he didn't open his eyes but slowly reached under his pillow for the knife he always kept there. He felt the person standing next to where he was laying before the bed shook for a moment as they straddled him. He could faintly smell the essences of blood, steel, and death on the person.

The person had put both hands on either side of his head as they hovered above him. He could feel the person start to lower themselves down towards his face. Then when they were close Minato acted. He pulled the knife from its sheath and pressed his forearm against the person's throat and pushed shoving them to the side on onto their back while he repositioned himself as he sat on their stomach and held the knife to their throat. Opening his eyes he saw Karasuba lying below him dressed in nothing but a pair of black lace panties, and a black lace bra with black stockings covering her legs up to her knees.

Karasuba had let her hair down and it was now all around her framing her face like a halo. Her eyes were open and she was grinning at Minato who looked at her with emotionless eyes and a face devoid of all emotion even as he pressed the blade tighter against her throat, making a shallow cut on the side of her neck that let out a trickle of blood. "My, my, Min-chan you are so interesting." Karasuba said as she licked her lips at the sight of Minato

Minato kept his face blank as he stared down at the grey haired angel of death. "What do want Karasuba?" Minato asked all emotion gone from his voice, Karasuba grinned and shivered at the sound of his voice, the feel of his skin against hers, the smell of her blood. "What I want…is you." She whispered as her hands grabbed his arm holding the knife and pushed it away, Her other hand grabbed him by the front of his shirt and pushed him back onto his back before she was once again straddling him.

The hand once gripping his shirt went to grasp his other hand and pinned it to the bed with the other hand. The knife now lying on the floor with a small bit of blood staining the once flawless steel. Minato stared blankly up at her. Karasuba licked her lips before lowering her head next to his and grinning at him with her red eyes open to the world and staring at him excitedly. She slowly planted kisses on his throat and shoulders before going back to his face and lowered her lips to his. Black wings that seemed to absorb any and all light like a dark hole sprang up from her back while she moaned into the kiss. She lightly bit Minato's lower lip getting him to moan into the kiss due to the unexpected feeling.

Her tongue sprang for wrestling his for dominance before she won and explored her new territory. Karasuba pulled back from the kiss licking a little below her lip tasting blood from where she had punctured Minato's lips with her teeth. Minato was looking up at her with a little blood dribbling down his chin while his eyes were wide for once and he was breathing heavily. "Sekirei number four Karasuba yours now and forever."

With that said Karasuba leaned back down capturing Minato's lips with her own. Karasuba deepened the kiss with Minato while Minato tried his best to figure out what had just happened, while they kissed Karasuba's wings once again spread out. She ended the kiss before leaning down and licking up the trail of blood that had gone down from his lip to his chin, and from there down to his throat.

Minato let out a moan when he felt her licking him. Karasuba grinned when she heard Minato moan, seeing him like this, completely helpless, moaning and at her mercy made her feel more excited than anything before. Before they could do much else the door to the room slammed open and standing there was an angry Yume.

Yume quickly crossed the distance between them and grabbed Karasuba before pinning her to the wall. "Karasuba what the hell are you doing?!" Angrily whispered Yume to Karasuba who grinned at her. "I was taking my Ashikabi and marking him as mine." Karasuba whispered huskily while staring at Minato who lay sprawled out on the bed on the opposite side of the room. Yume looked between Karasuba and her Ashikabi before growling and leaning into Karasuba's ear.

"If you hurt him I will not hesitate to end you." Karasuba grinned at her and eventually Yume released her. Both turned towards the bed and looked at their Ashikabi who had a little more blood going down his chin from Karasuba's bite. Minato leaned up from the bed his face set in its normal emotionless state. He then noticed what Yume was wearing.

She was wearing a white almost translucent nightgown that revealed nothing underneath it. Yume walked over to her Ashikabi and sat down next to him before wrapping him in a warm embrace. Minato stiffened for a moment before relaxing in the hug and returning it. Yume slowly lowered Minato onto his back and rested herself on top of him. Minato allowed himself to be lowered and felt a little bit of heat in his chest as Yume lay down on top of him.

Karasuba meanwhile made her way to the bed and grabbed Minato's left arm and squished it in between her breasts and pressed her body tightly against his. Minato slowly started to fall asleep and he couldn't help but wonder what was next.
