Chapter 3

"Musubi pay attention to what you're doing you can't just rely on speed and power, remember the techniques I taught you" Yume yelled as her young busty look alike sparred against Damian. After almost a month of renovations and equipment shipments their new base of operations was nearly finished with the only thing needing to be completed was the final adjustments to the electronic alarm system that Matsu was currently taking care of, the group had decided to put the training room to good use. Yume Hibiki Hikari Minato Uzume Kagari, and Akitsu were currently watching the match between the inexperienced fist type and the mercenary turned body guard and it was obvious that having more combat experience and training against Minato for years had boosted Damian's reaction time to above human levels since even though his speed and strength were below that of the Sekirei he was facing he was able to predict he movements and counter whenever he could squeeze in a few attacks as a result Musubi hadn't landed many attacks and was tiring out from the long match.

"Musubi will not lose" the brown haired girl said pumping her fist up and down.

"That's the sprit never quit I like that kind of attitude" Damian smiled dodging a few jabs from the girl before ducking under a high kick and sweeping her legs out from under her. Musubi rolled backwards blocking a front kick before countering with a spinning elbow. Damian blocked it thankful that his body was used to taking hard hits from his boss and grabbed her wrist pinning it behind her at an angle where her strength would be useless.

"She's getting a lot better…but she still attacks without thinking things through" Minato sighed.

"She just gets excited too quickly" Yume said watching her younger sister-wife get pinned.

"Not bad Musubi your striking is getting a lot better but we still have to work on your grappling what do you think boss should I add that into the regular training schedule" Damian asked.

"I think that would be a good idea after all none of us really have a background in grappling" Minato said he knew that some of his Sekirei didn't really need close range combat training Yume as already an expert fighter and Akitsu's elemental ability was strong enough for attacking and defending that she didn't really need it although she did join Minato whenever they were training in ground combat which was mostly just her laying on top of him pressing her boobs into his chest. The twins found out that they could compress their lightning into their hands giving them boosted close range power but, they needed a lot of training as far as technique went. Musubi had tons of power and speed and her technique wasn't made it was just she was an impatient fighter which lead to her getting caught in holds were her speed and strength were useless. Damian and Minato had figured out when they had first started training that even though a Sekirei was much stronger and faster than a normal human their bodies even thought they were much more resistant to physical damage still had certain weaknesses that made their speed and strength useless like pressure points and joint holds and locks. Since Sekirei shared the same basic physical structure as a normal human if you managed to get one in a joint hold or lock that didn't require brute strength to hold a human could manage to pin down a Sekirei though they would have to be highly skilled and be able to take a beating plus for high level Sekirei like Yume it was useless as the gap between physical abilities was too great. But for a low level or inexperience Sekirei it was possible.

"Well that was a pretty good match wasn't it Minato-kun" Kagari said smiling at the young man.

"Yes it was there's a reason that I hired Damian as a body guard despite his questionable background and skill set" Minato smiled. He didn't know if it was just his imagination but it seemed that over the month that he had known Kagari the flame Sekirei's face seemed to have gotten more feminine and his voice seemed to be a bit higher than when they had first meet.

"I thought you hired him because of his questionable background and skill set" Uzume said poking Minato's cheek. The two of them had become closer over the last month and Uzume had revealed that she was indeed reacting to him but she wasn't quite ready to be winged yet. Understanding what she had been through Minato told her to take as long as she needed but he would be happy to become her Ashikabi as soon as she was ready. Uzume of course took that as meaning she could flirt with him as much as she wanted despite how much it irritated his actual Sekirei wives at times.

"Haha I guess that's true" Minato laughed. "I'm going to check on Matsu-chan she's been working pretty hard and I want to make sure she's not over doing it" Minato said walking over to a large service elevator that went to the main floor three sub levels and balcony that looked over the main floor. Pressing the up button Minato placed his hands in his pockets as the elevator made to short ascent to the balcony where they had set up a command center type room that could monitor not only the entire inside and perimeter of their base of operations but could also monitor their home Matsu had also set up a small hidden command room similar to the one she had in Miya's home in Minato's

Minato stepped out of the elevator heading towards the command room he opened the door and froze as Matsu was bent over connecting the last few wires into the large monitors her round ass wiggling in the air as she reached further back to connect the wire into the port.

"See something you like Mina-tan" Matsu teased wiggling her butt back and forth. Minato blushed as he knew he'd been caught starring but it's not like you could blame him despite already having five beautiful Sekirei as his wives he hadn't gone all the way with any of them yet. If he had to be honest it was probably mostly his fault since they all had made it blatantly obvious that they were more than willing to sleep with him, it was his because of his 'work before play' attitude that nothing had happened yet with him focusing on their new headquarters being finished, digging up dirt on M.B.I, his own genetic and medical research, and looking over the information that Damian was constantly acquiring not to mention making time to get to know his Sekirei on a more personal level he had been swamped and more times than not he had passed out as soon as he sat down on the couch or bed. Now with their base of operations nearly completed, Damian had volunteered to look over the day to day operations having opted to move into the base in order to give Minato and his Wives some privacy, Minato was looking forward to some one on one time with his girls or five on one if they were okay with sharing.

"Yes actually" Minato grinned.

"Oh really Mina-tan" Matsu purred.

"Yeah it looks like the security system is finally fully operational that means we can finally start our mission to bring down M.B.I" Minato said simply making Matsu fall over.

"Mina-tan that's so mean how can you treat Matsu so badly" the glasses wearing beauty whined.

"Sorry Matsu-chan I was just teasing" Minato said patting her head.

"Bad Mina-tan and after Matsu worked so hard for you" the red head pouted.

"Thanks for all your hard work just let me know if I can do anything for you in return" Minato smiled.

"Well in that case would Mina-tan mind becoming my Ashikabi" Matsu said clutching her chest her cheeks turned red as her breathing became ragged. She had been holding back for an entire month as she had made a vow to herself that she wouldn't ask to be winged until she had helped finish her future masters base of operations to show him how valuable she could be and that despite her perverted personality she did have a surprising amount of self-control even if did take her relieving her pent up energy herself when Miya was out to manage it.

Minato didn't respond instead he just smiled and pulled her to him holding her against his chest he lifted her chin and cradled the back of her head as he brought her into a deep passionate kiss. Pale orange wings burst from her Sekirei mark as she grabbed Minato to deepen the kiss. The two of them stayed like that from almost a minute until Minato broke the kiss a slight blush on his cheeks and a very satisfied Matsu clinging to him. "Oh Mina-tan that was amazing" Matsu purred feeling down his chest but Minato didn't respond he just stared straight ahead with a blank far off look in his eyes. It was obvious that the lights were on in his head but no one was home.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Minato gasped as he was suddenly in a lush green forest towering evergreen trees covered in thick water vines surrounded him. "Hello" he yelled looking around for anyone else, how was it possible that he was in the warehouse a second ago and now he was here. He knew that a handful of Sekirei had teleportation abilities such as Yahan who could move through shadows but he doubted anything come have gotten pass Matsu's security system which had been based off of Marcus recommendations, and even by some miracle someone was able to sneak through there was no way they could've gotten pass all the other Sekirei that had been there at the time especially Yume who seemed to be able to sense when any of her sisters where nearby.

Looking around Minato saw the small clearing he was in seemed to break off into several different pathways crossing his arms he tried to pick a path that would lead him off of whatever mess he was in. Taking a deep calming breath and relaxing his mind Minato seemed to be pulled towards the bath directly in front of him having learned to trust his instincts he took a few steps forwards and the sound of soft sobbing reached his ears.

"Hello" He yelled down the pathway for some reason he was starting to feel like someone was in grave danger and no matter what he had to protect them.

"Onii-chan" a small voice cried out.

Minato didn't waste a second rushing forwards sprinting as hard as he could down the path having no idea what was waiting for him at the end of it all. The longer he ran the louder the voice became and he realized that it sounded like a young girl and he pushed himself harder and harder trying to get to her until eventually he stumbled into a smaller clearing than the one he'd started in.

Breathing heavily as he slide to a stop a single beam of sunlight penetrate the forest canopy illuminating the base of a tree where a small blonde girl in a white gown sat curled among the roots of the tree sobbing softly. Minato slowly walked forwards until he right in front of her than he kneeled down without speaking a word he wrapped his arms around her hugging her tightly just like he used to do Yukari whenever she would cry. The girl stopped crying melting into Minato's warm embrace as she realized she had nothing to be afraid of.

"It's okay I've got you I won't let anything hurt you" Minato said stroking her head. After she had calmed down a bit more Minato relaxed his grip somewhat and leaned back so he could look at her properly. She had stunningly bright green eyes that were swollen from crying her blonde hair was tangled and matted but there were still places where it had maintained its golden sheen and her face was almost heart breaking to look at as it was so gentle that Minato vowed to destroy whoever it was that made her shed tears. "What's your name" He asked as softly as he could, not wanting to frighten her.

"K-Kusano" She mumbled keeping a tight grip on the front of his shirt afraid that he would disappear if she let go.

"Kusano that a pretty name, is it okay if I call you Ku-chan" He smiled at her. She looked up at him her cheeks tinting red before she snapped her head back down and nodded.

"Okay Ku-chan it is than…I'm Sahashi Minato it's very nice to meet you" he smiled.

"Onii-chan" Kusano mumbled. Minato smiled slightly and sighed as he couldn't tell her not to call him that if it made her happy.

"Onii-chan is Ku's Ashikabi" Kusano mumbled again.

Minato looked down at the young girl he was certain she would grow up to be very beautiful and he would never turn away from a Sekirei that was reacting to him but she was so young that he'd never want to use her in combat but as a Sekirei she might want to battle regardless of her age and size, and he knew that not many other Ashikabi would give her the option of choosing to fight or not they would force her to do whatever they desired without worrying about her safety.

"Ku-chan I will be happy to have you as my Sekirei" Minato smiled.

Ku looked up at him surprised before tears of joy welled up in her eyes and she threw herself onto him before she was yanked away by some unknown force.

"Ku!" Minato yelled reaching out to her own for his vison to fade as she called out for him to save her.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Minato snapped back to his senses in the warehouse the sound of moaning confusing him until he realized that he had reached out and grabbed onto Matsu's breast his fingers roughly gripping the soft mound of flesh.

"Oh Mina-tan how forceful" Matsu moaned loudly.

"Looks like someone is having fun" Hikari said her arms crossed under her own ample breast.

"So much for all work and no play" Hibiki said appearing next to her sister.

"It's not what it looks" Minato said letting go of Matsu's breast.

"Pretty sure I know what fondling breast looks like" Hikari huffed.

"Oh Matsu I see you finally got winged, how was it" Uzume asked with a grin.

"Why don't you find out for yourself" Matsu smirked.

"Things are as lively as ever I see" Miya said appearing with a ladle.

"Please tell me lunch is ready" Kagari said hungry from having been training earlier.

"Of course why don't we all head back to Izumo inn to eat" Miya smiled ever since her and Minato had sparred she seemed to have developed a strong attachment to him though she denied having anything of the sort whenever anyone asked her about it. She was constantly bringing him lunch whenever he was busy with his various activities and giving him one on one sparring time whenever he asked for it in order to improve his fighting ability it also seemed like she had taken Minato's words about picking up her sword once more to heart as Matsu had seen her polishing her old sword on more than one occasion recently.

"Sounds good to me I'm starved" Damian said as his stomach growled loudly making everyone laugh loudly. After heading back to the Inn and sitting down for a light lunch Minato decided to pull Miya and Matsu aside to ask them about his vision, he was curious as he had never been experienced anything like it before and he was hoping one of them would have an answer about what was going on.

"So what did you want to talk about Mina-tan" Matsu asked, she had been hopping he was trying to steal her away for some private time after all now that he had six Sekirei one on one time was going to be even harder to obtain. Those hopes were quickly dashed however when she saw that he had also brought Miya into her room with them and while she wasn't opposed to sharing him with any of her Sekirei sisters she knew for a fact that Miya would never go along with anything like that.

"Well Matsu-chan I honestly wanted to ask you two a question" Minato paused to make sure he had there full attention when they both gave him small nods he continued with his what he had been about to say. "Earlier today when we were in the surveillance and command room I had a vision right after I winged you it was like I was pulled into a dream one minute I was in the room with Matsu the next minute I was in a forest where I met a little girl named Kusano she told me I was her Ashikabi before she was pulled away by something I have no idea where the forest I was in was and as far as I know no Sekirei have been released outside of the city and there's no type of forest like that inside the capital but if she's in trouble I want to save her" Minato said seriously. Miya smiled at the fire in his eyes he really did care for all of her sisters whether they were bonded to him or not.

"Give Matsu one second" Matsu turned around her fingers a blur on her keypad as she accessed M.B.I's database on Sekirei. After a few seconds she adjusted her glassed as she pulled up a personnel file. "Here we are number 108 Kusano her powers may have something to do with that forest you were in as it says right here that she has the power to manipulate plant life it's possible that she might would create something like that in order to try to hide herself" Matsu suggested.

"That would make sense but how did she manage to contact me if she doesn't possess any telepathic abilities" Minato asked.

"I think I can answer that" Miya interrupted before Matsu could open her mouth making the technopath pout. "You see Minato-kun all Sekirei possess a small level of telepathy this is amplified inside of a bond with an Ashikabi for example I'm sure right now you can tell that all of your Sekirei are perfectly safe and happy if you focus on them" Miya paused as Minato took a minute to check on his Sekirei. Sure enough he could feel each one of them through there bond and knew that none of them were in danger and they were all happy and content although h Musubi was upset over the fact that Hikari stole the last rice cracker that was supposed to be hers and Matsu was giving off a slight amount of lust and jealousy.

"Yeah I can sense all of them" Minato confirmed. Miya nodded and then continued what she had been saying earlier.

"Although it's rare and would take a very strong Ashikabi it's possible that a Sekirei that is reacting to that Ashikabi may be able to contact them in dreams according to Takehito's calculations, for you to have a vision while you were awake shows that your strength as an Ashikabi has already surpassed M.B.I's initial calculations" Miya explained.

"I see…Matsu is there anything about Kusano's release date" Minato asked.

"Let me check" Matsu typed for a few seconds stopping suddenly and gasping at the information on the screen. "According to this she was scheduled to be released earlier today"

"That means she could already be in danger I have to find her" Minato went to yell for Damian but was interrupted as the former mercenary came bursting through the trick wall.

"Boss there's something you need to see" Damian panted.

Minato rushed down stairs to see Seo standing there looking rather pissed.

"Yo Kid have you see this yet that bastard has really done it now" Seo said tossing Minato his phone. Minato looked down at the message and felt his blood run cold. After finishing the message Minato threw the phone back to Seo resisting the urge to shatter the damn thing.

"Minato-sama" Akitsu said softly seeing her Ashikabi shake with rage.

"Hibiki, Hikari, Yume, Musubi, Akitsu get ready for battle we're going to save Ku-chan" Minato growled. His Sekirei nodded going to obey him even if they weren't sure what was going on, they trusted their Ashikabi completely.

"Kagari and Uzume you're not my Sekirei so I can't demand anything of you but I'd greatly appreciate it if you could back us up" Minato asked.

"Of course" Kagari and Uzume nodded running to their rooms to change into their battle outfits.

"Mina-tan what should I do" Matsu asked she knew she didn't have very much combat power but that had never stopped her before.

"Matsu I need you in the new command center coordinating our movements and keeping us updated on everything that's going on" Minato instructed. Matsu nodded and went to run out the door when Damian stopped her.

"I'll give you a ride all my equipment is there anyway…boss you coming I doubt you're going to sit on the sideline with this one" Damian said grabbing the keys to their S.U.V. The three of them sped to the warehouse where Damian pulled right inside the garage area before they all jumped out.

Minato and Damian took the service elevator down to the armory while Matsu ran up the stairs to the command room grabbing her head set and accessing a few surveillance satellites.

"Damian I want you providing over watch with a lethal and non-lethal loadout use whichever one you like I'm leaving the discretion up to you…try to keep the body count to a manageable level M.B.I will clean up their own mess and we don't need any one trying to trace anything back to us" Minato said strapping on lightweight body armor.

"Don't I always try to keep the body count down" Damian grumbled assembling a prototype sniper rifle.

"Do I have to bring up what happened in Brazil" Minato said chambering a round in a 9mm pistol and placing it in a holster on his hip. Unlike Damian he'd never learned how to accurately fire two weapons and he didn't like the way larger caliber weapons tended to handle so he preferred compact pistols and sub machine guns.

"Hey we were on vacation" Damian shrugged.

"Who kills 8 people on vacation" Minato frowned.

"There was a reward for them" Damian defended himself.

"Dead or Alive you had an option" Minato said grabbing his steel poles and placing them in a holder on his back.

"Dead bodies are easier to deal with" Damian said loading rounds into clips.

"just control yourself okay" Minato frowned getting back in the service elevator as Damian slung a duffle bag full of extra clips over his shoulder.

"Whatever you say boss" Damian smirked.

As they made it back to the main floor the found Hibiki, Hikari, Akitsu, Yume, Musubi, Uzume and Kagari waiting in their battle outfits they all had small ear piece communicators placed in their ears.

"Minato Matsu told us about number 108 so what's the plan" Kagari asked.

"Good job Matsu-chan do you have an update on the situation" Minato asked.

"Yes but first catch these Mina-tan" Matsu threw Minato and Damian an ear piece communicator like the others had which they quickly placed in their ears. "There are currently a dozen Ashikabi and Sekirei pairs making their way into the newly grown forest through holes in M.B.I's perimeter but the denseness of the forest seems to have prevented them from getting very far. The easiest way through the forest right now seems to be from the north side of the forest but it's heavily guarded M.B.I has stationed a large number of guards equipped with heavy assault rifles and about six A.C.P's with mounted machine guns. I would suggest the east side as the best approach given the circumstances but it seems that the Ashikabi of the South Mikogami has sent a team of Sekirei to break through that entrance." Matsu explained.

"Matsu are there any vantage points around the North entrance" Damian asked.

"Yes there are several high points that give a clear view of the defensive line" Matsu informed.

"What are you thinking" Minato asked the former Merc who was no stranger to combat strategies.

"The north entrance is the quickest route to our objective that's the route I suggest we take since we're already behind the other groups, I can handle the north gate once the A.C.P's are taken care of if Kagari backs me up I'd suggest using the twins and Akitsu to break through their defense and create a hole for you to sneak through I'd suggest taking Musubi or Yume with you as their close combat abilities would be the best for the constricted areas inside the forest just in case you come across anyone. Once you're in the forest the twins along with Akitsu and Uzume could head off to stall Mikogami's Sekirei and give you the time you need to get to Kusano…Also I'm going to need and RPG" Damian said heading back to the service elevator.

"Looks like we're going to be breaking through the north side" Minato grit his teeth knowing how risky this plan was but it was the most reasonable plan of action.

"Minato-sama are you planning on fighting as well" Musubi asked seeing her Ashikabi's body armor and pistol.

"Of course Musubi-chan what kind of Ashikabi would I be if asked you girls to fight battles without taking part in them myself" Minato smiled warmly although his eyes maintained a battle ready hardness.

"Alright let's do this" Damian said holding a loaded RPG 7. As Minato and Damian headed towards one of their more heavily armored S.U.V's Matsu yelled for them to stop.

"What is it Matsu-chan" Minato asked.

"The discipline squad was just dispatched to keep the situation under control" Matsu said fearfully.

Minato turned to Yume who gave him a knowing look, out of all his Sekirei she was the only one that would be able to handle Karasuba.

"Well I guess I was going to have to face Suba-chan at some point" Yume sighed.

"Kagari you should go and back up Yume" Damian said to the flame Sekirei.

"But that means you will have to hold the North gate alone" Minato interjected.

"Don't worry about me boss I can handle it…Matsu is A.V 6 ready to roll" Damian asked.

"I managed to work out most the technical issues we were having but it's not fully mission capable yet" Matsu shook her head.

"Will it fire" Damian asked.

"Yeah but there's no telling when it will jam" Matsu warned.

"I'm willing to take this risk let's do this" Damian grinned. Minato nodded following Damian over to what was once a black Expedition. Now it had been heavily armored and fitted with heavy bullet proof glass a white number six had been sprayed on the hood.

"This thing looks like it can take a rocket and keep on rolling" Minato said impressed.

"Let's hope" Damian said jumping into the driver's seat. As they sped out of the large garage door the others followed close behind the Sekirei jumping from roof to roof moving as fast as the speeding A.V on the streets below. It took them about 15 minutes to make it too a vacant construction site where the group came to a stop. The steel beams of the structure towered three stories of the over the surrounding buildings making it the perfect location for Damian to set up as there were plenty of heavy steel beams to take cover behind.

"Yume, Kagari head out follow Matsu's instructions she'll direct you to the discipline squads current location" Minato ordered. The two Sekirei were about to leap away when Minato grabbed Yume's arm before she could say anything he brought her into a deep kiss. Yume could feel an overwhelming amount of power welling up inside her as her wings erupted from her Sekirei mark.

"Be safe out there and let Suba-chan know I said hi" Minato grinned.

Yume slammed her fist together pumped up as she nodded and took off grabbing a slightly pouting Kagari.

"I hope Suba-chan has calmed down over this past month" Yume frowned knowing her friends temper and ability to hold a grudge it wasn't likely.

"I'm going to take that lift over there to the top wait for my signal before breaking through the line" Damian said running off. Minato nodded turning back to the rest of his Sekirei who were looking at him expectantly. He smiled walking over to the twins first he grabbed them pulling them close they blushed as he moved his hands down to their firm asses.

"When this is over let's take a few days off I thinks it's about time we all got to know each other more intimately" he said loud enough for Musubi and Akitsu to hear. All his Sekirei blushed their fire for battle turning into a raging inferno at their Ashikabi's suggestive remark. Minato brought Hibiki in for a kiss first she moaned into his mouth as her body vibrated with power only breaking the kiss when her sister stole Minato's lips from hers. Hikari stuck her tongue in Minato's mouth as she felt light headed from the amount of power coursing through her. Eventually Minato broke the kiss leaving the twins literally sparking with energy. Next he walked over to Akitsu who gave him a small smile before leaning into him lifting her lips to his in a light kiss which he quickly deepened sticking his tongue in her mouth as he held her firmly by her waist. When he broke the kiss they both blew out a small cloud of frost as Akitsu's power spiked her eyes promising pain for anyone that stood in her path.

Lastly was Musubi who was breathing heavily as she felt all of her sister-wives power increase dramatically as Minato's Ashikabi aura became suffocating. Minato smiled as he lifted her chin gently bringing her into a kiss that wasn't quite as lust filled as the others had been after all Musubi was younger than his other Sekirei and more easily overwhelmed by his aura and he didn't need her trying to jump him before the start of the mission.

Uzume watched the scene practically drooling as her craving for Minato became even more intense and she vowed to herself that once this was over she would wing herself on him and steal him away for some private time no matter what.

"Minato you guys ready down there" Damian's voice came over the ear piece.

"Ready when you are" Minato replied.

A sharp whooshing sound pierced the air followed by a large explosion as the RPG Damian fired impacted one of the A.C.P's on the other side of the wall the blocked off the construction site. Gun fire rang out as the M.B.I troops opened fire at the top of the structure completely ignoring the group leaping over the corner of the wall until Hibiki and Hikari let lose several lighting strikes that destroyed four A.C.P's sending guards flying from the explosions. Akitsu let lose a blizzard of ice shards that destroyed the last two A.C.P's. Minato and Musubi sprinted pass the guards and explosions using Uzume's veils as cover as the cloth was strong enough to deflect small arms fire. Once they were pass the defensive line where bullets could no longer reach them Uzume unwrapped them from her veil.

"Good luck you two" Uzume said before sprinting off the go find the group of Sekirei Mikogami had sent.

"Hibiki, Hikari, Akitsu we're in go ahead and leave the guards the Damian and Link up with Uzume to intercept Mikogami's group" Minato spoke into his ear piece.

"Hai" They all answered ceasing their attack the jumped away from the destruction they had cause the few guards that were able to take aim at them were quickly taken care of as sniper rounds rained down from the top of the construction site.

"Good luck girls I'll take it from here" Damian chuckled as he fired three more shots killing three more M.B.I troops with head shoots.

Even inside the dense forest Minato could hear the echo from the large rifle Damian was using. "Alright Musubi let's go save Ku" Minato said pulling out his 9mm pistol and taking the safety off.
