Chapter 3 - Steel Terror

At Izumo Inn

Kazehana is on cloud 9, as she breaks the kiss she just shared with her Ashikabi. She feels so happy, that she didn't notice Miya staring at them with wide eyes like she had just seen her first winging. "Kazehana, what were those wings that appeared from your back? Please explain to me what has happened." Colossus asked with a blush on his face, and taking in a big gulp of air into his lungs from the prolonged kiss.

Before Kazehana can begin her explanation, the communication device built into the 'X' symbol on Colossus' belt activates, and begins flashing red. "Excuse me a moment." Colossus presses the red blinking X. "This is Colossus...Cyclops, Wolverine respond!" "Hello Colossus-kun, you have been magnificently chosen to be an Ashikabi for a Sekirei, and No. 3 no less! How are you doing No. 3? Still pining away the nights for your Mina-kun? Hahahaa!"

"Your wrong Minaka, I've traded up since you rejected me for 'that woman'." Kazehana said with a little venom in her voice, as she hugged Piotr from behind and spoke over his shoulder.

"This will make the game more interesting!"

"What are you talking about!" Colossus said growing annoyed by Minaka, and with how he treats Kazehana. "You, and your Sekirei will be competing in the Sekirei Plan! The Sekirei will fight, and fight, and fight until only one remains! This Ashikabi/Sekirei pair will ascend to the skies above, and a new age of the Gods will begin! Isn't it exciting?!" Minaka finished with a crazed laugh.

"This Minaka is like Arcade! The assassin-for-hire that would trap mutants to be killed in his 'Murder-world' game for money!" Colossus thought in disgust. "You would kill off an entire race for some game? You are insane! I will have nothing to do with this!"

"I wouldn't be so quick to decide now my Russian friend! It would be a shame if something were to happen to No. 3! Such a pity." Minaka said with false concern before the signal was cut by Colossus' steel hand crushing the communicator into nothing but dust.

*Ahem!* Both Kazehana, and Colossus turn around to see that Miya is still in the room. "Kazehana, I'm glad that you've found an Ashikabi like Piotr, and didn't have to settle for that scum Minaka." Miya said with a cold tone. Then Miya's mood did a 360 degree turn, and immediately brightened up with that smile on her face. "I also managed to find work for you Piotr. It's at a construction site two blocks away from Izumo Inn."

"I hope you won't be working too hard for any 'other' activities when you get back Piotr-kun!." Kazehana said as she bounced on her heels causing her large bust to bounce up and down in front of her mutant Ashikabi. "There will be no illicit activities in Izumo Inn." Miya smiled, and her Hannya masks all had bleeding eyes. "Not the bleeding eyes!" Kazehana cringed with swirls in her eyes before fainting in Colossus' arms.

Cyclops's Apartment

Scott could hear the sound of the shower in the bathroom being used by Akitsu. After they settled into the apartment, Scott had a long talk with Akitsu about their relationship. Cyclops was thankful that they walked to the apartment complex so late at night, or the landlord would've asked questions about Akitsu wearing a bloody lab-coat and nothing else. She explained about the bond between Ashikabi, and Sekirei being the same as a marriage. Cyclops had to dissuade Akitsu from wanting her honeymoon right away. "We've only just met, but I can feel her love, and devotion for me through this bond we share. It's not like the psychic rapport that I had with Jean. This is more empathic, not thought, only the emotional spectrum is involved."

Cyclops's thoughts were on his two 'future' children: Nathan Christopher Summers (Cable), and Rachel Summers. "What will happen to them now that I'm no longer with Jean? Will they no longer exist? I love my kids, but Jean made it clear that she's no longer in love with me. Did she even think of the consequences? I want our kids to live, but I don't see how it can be possible now that Warren is dating her." The thought of never seeing his son, and daughter again made Scott feel depressed. This was felt through the bond by Akitsu, who came out of the shower dripping wet with only a small towel that was hugging her shapely body.

"Ashikabi-sama is sad. I don't like that." Akitsu said in her monotone voice and takes a seat next to Cyclops on the king sized bed. Scott tries to be a gentleman, and averts his gaze from her chest area. "Akitsu, it's okay. Remember, you can just call me Scott." "Ah...Scott-sama then." Akitsu was leaning towards his face with her expression showing worry. "Your still sad Scott-sama." "This empathic bond we share is very strong *sigh*, I was just thinking of my children Akitsu." After Cyclops said this, he could feel a shift in Akitsu's mood. "Ah...your a father?" Akitsu was gripping the sheets of the bed so tight, they were starting to tear.

"It's complicated Akitsu." Akitsu gives Scott a stern look. "Okay, I'll explain about Nathan, and Rachel but you'll probably think I'm making this up, or that I've lost my mind." Scott spends the next few hours explaining how he met his kids to Akitsu who listened intently to everything Scott said. He even told Akitsu about mutants, and the X-Men. There was something about Akitsu that broke through Scott's defensive wall that he built up around himself since his years at the orphanage.

"Ah...so Jean is no longer your lover?" Akitsu asked with her head on Scott's shoulder looking up at his face. "That's why I'm concerned Akitsu. I don't want Nathan, or Rachel to vanish from existence but who will I have them with if Jean and I are no longer together?"

Akitsu looks into Scott's eyes through the visor, and takes both of his hands in hers. "I will bear your children Scott-sama. Nathan-chan, and Rachel-chan will be born from me." Akitsu starts kissing Scott's neck up to his cheeks, and running her hands over Scott's arms to wrap them around her waist.

Suddenly the television in the room turns itself on, and Hiroko Minaka appears on the screen.

"Congratulations! You've been..." Was as far as Minaka got before a dagger made of solid ice impaled the television screen, destroying it. All the while Akitsu never broke the embrace of her Ashikabi, and the night became theirs.

Colossus was walking back to Izumo Inn after his first day on the job at the construction site. He made friends with a young co-worker named Minato Sahashi. He told Piotr how he was kicked out of the apartment he was renting, because he brought a girl home with him. He showed Colossus a picture of them together that he kept in his wallet. She has long hair and wearing a cream colored top and a short dark orange skirt. His other co-worker Seo Kaoru didn't do much work, and was constantly helping himself to Minato's box lunches. When Colossus found out that the older man was stealing from his new friend, he quickly put a stop to it. Which caused Seo to openly sob, and rant about eventually starving to death.

Colossus had rounded a street corner, and there was signs of a battle of some sort. Piotr is on the move the moment he hears a woman's shout.

"Get away from me you walking soup cans! What's it going to take to put you little doggie's down for good?" Colossus sees a tall athletic woman with green hair using her staff to bat away...Warwolves! Piotr triggers his mutation, and sprints to the Warwolves and delivers a right cross punch to the nearest one sending it though a wall.

"Thanks for the assist, but I'm a big girl and I can handle this myself!" Toyotama said as she used her staff to swat a warwolf into the wall of the nearest building. "Da, I can see that. However I'm a guest in your country, it would be bad manners to have you fight them alone." Colossus grabbed two Warwolves, and tossed them into a dumpster and kicked it down an alleyway. "Heh. Okay then let's see if you can keep up." Toyotama spun her staff above her head in time to knock two Warwolves out of the air. Between the two of them, they sent the Warwolves into a retreat until they were out of sight.
