Ice Chronicles

Chapter 9: The Date

I was hanging onto Musubi as we; Yomi, Tskumi, and Akitsu pursue the targets. Matsu stayed back at the base, communicating through ear pieces. I tapped on said ear piece and went to Akitsu's channel.

"Are you ready Akitsu?" I asked.

"Yes master just give me the signal," she replied. I watched as the target leapt to the next rooftop. The moment was right.

"Now Akitsu!" I shouted. She did her magic and made the spot where the targets landed slippery. They stepped on the frost and slipped. We caught up to the enemy and confronted them. Yomi stopped the running target from going farther.

Hours Ago

I open my eyes and noticed a change in scenery. The weight on my being was different than normal. I looked down and instead of Tskumi, it was Akitsu. She was sleeping soundly with her head on my chest. Another thing is that both of us are completely naked. That's when I remember what happened last night; it was indescribable. Akitsu was pretty bold yesterday, but I guess even she can be like that sometimes.

I looked at my cell phone and saw it was only five in the morning.

'Damn, it's only five. Why do I have to be such an early riser?' I wondered. I must have thought too loud because Akitsu mumbled and slowly open her eyes. Our orbs meet and she starts blushing. I only smile and laugh.

"Good morning Akitsu, did I wake you?" I asked. She reached up and kissed me on the cheek.

"Good morning master, I heard something and it woke me up," she replied.

"Oh my bad, that was me. I was thinking too loud," I told her. I sat up and she did the same. She rested her head on my shoulders.

"Master; last night…was amazing. Let's do it again sometime," she said.

"If that's what you want to do on your date, then by all means," I replied. I stood up and stretched my limbs out. Then suddenly, Akitsu hugged me from behind. I could feel her breasts rubbing against me.

"Akitsu, I'm really sorry."

"For what master?" she questioned. I only sighed at the questioned.

"Even after what we did yesterday, I will be going out today with another girl," I answered. She released me, walked in front of me, and hugged me again.

"It's okay master; I got something the others won't be able to receive," she replied. I returned her hug.

"Usually, you stay with the person you just had sex with,' I said.

"Go have fun today master. If you feel guilty, then when it's my turn, you can have me all to yourself," she replied.

"Hm, I never knew you could be so bold Akitsu," I told her. She let go of me and went to retrieve her kimono.

"Ever since I've been with you master, I have been able to speak my mind. I got something more than the others, so I'm happy," she responded. We put our clothes back on and walked downstairs. There was no one down here; well who would be at five thirty in the morning?

"It would be a waste to cook breakfast now since we're the only two up. How about in the meantime, you tell me what you want to do on our date coming up?" I suggested. She nodded and we sat down on the couch. We discussed what activities we'll do. That's when we heard creaking coming from the stairs. We turned to look and see Musubi walking down, rubbing her eyes.

"Good morning Musubi."

"Huh? Oh, good morning Ren, Akitsu," she stated in her cheerful tone. She walked over and sat beside me. She linked my arms with hers.

"Musubi, what are you doing up so early?" I questioned. She placed a finger under her chin.

"I don't know; I just had this feeling of waking up early. I think I may have been sleepwalking because I woke up next to Tskumi. I could've sworn Akitsu was next to me when I went to sleep," she explained. Apparently, she doesn't remember what happens when Yume takes control of her.

"Did Tskumi ever wake up?" I asked.

"No, she's still sleeping," she replied. "Ren, can we go out now?"

"Huh? Why so early?" I asked back.

"Remember, you said you would do anything I say without question; and I want to go out now," she told me.

"She's right master, you did promise her," Akitsu stated.

"Yeah, I did, but why so early?" I questioned.

"I want to be with you as much as possible," Musubi said. I sighed and stood up.

"Let me put some decent clothes on and then we'll go. Okay?" I replied. Her face beamed and she nodded. I went to my room and searched through the closet. I tried my best not to wake Tskumi, but I failed. She mumbled and rubbed her eyes awake. She saw me at the closet.

"Ren, what are you doing?" Tskumi asked.

"Sorry to wake you Tskumi, but today is Musubi's time and she wanted to go out now," I answered. I continued to search for my clothes. I heard Tskumi get off the bed and stand up.

"Ren, come here," she demanded. I did as she said and walked to her. She placed her hands on my chest and kissed me on the lips. Her blues wings sprouted and fluttered. We broke the kiss and she placed her head on my shoulders. I wrapped my arms around her waist and embraced her.

"I won't stop you, but remember that I am your true wife."

"I won't forget. Don't forget that your date is coming up too," I replied. She nodded and kissed my cheek. She crawled back into bed and pulled the sheets up to her. I put my shoes on and kissed her forehead before I walked out.

"I love you Tskumi."

"I love you too Ren," she replied. I left the room and walked back downstairs. Musubi was wearing her usual attire. She stood up and took my hand in hers.

"Ready to go Musubi?" I asked.

"Yeah," she replied with a nod. She pulled me towards the door as I waved goodbye to Akitsu. The sun was shining; its heat wasn't strong, but it was still bright. There were no clouds in the sky. I looked at the girl walking next to me. She was wearing her trademark smile.

"So Musubi; what do you want to do first? Your wish is my command," I stated. "Since it's still early, we won't be able to do much right now."

"Let's walk around town for a while," she suggested. I nodded and took her around town. Time really passed fast because it was already past six. At least now we can get some breakfast; and it's a good thing too because I heard a loud growl, making me jump in surprise. I looked at Musubi, who had a blushing face. I smiled and laughed.

"Hungry?" I questioned. She quickly nodded.

"Then let's go get something to eat," I said. I brought her to a local diner and we ordered some food. As she ate, her eyes were big and sparkling. I guess that means she likes the food. Watching her eat made me hungry as well, so I dug into my food too. After I paid the bill, we left with full stomachs.

"That was really delicious," Musubi stated. She took my arm and pulled me along. We went to the park and walked the trail. As we were walking, I was suddenly pulled away by Musubi. When she did, a whip hit the ground. Then this woman appeared in front of us. She looked like a teenager. She had long blond hair with two pony tails on the side. She was wearing a black Chinese style dress with a yellow vertical stripe in the middle. She had black stockings and was carrying a whip.

"Hm, so this is the one Master Mikogami was talking about," she said.

'Mikogami? She's talking about that kid who wanted Akitsu. So why is she here? Did he send her here to attack me?' I wondered. She launched her whip at Musubi, who held her arm out and allowed it to snake her arm. The woman tried to pull Musubi to her, but Musubi's strength outclasses her by a big ass margin. Musubi snatches the blond towards her and used her free to punch, but the woman managed to jump out of her the way.

The whip returned to the woman. Musubi was about to charge forward, but I stopped her in time.

"Wait a second Musubi. Let me confirm some things," I told her. She looked at me and nodded. I stepped forward.

"Your master, what does he want from me?"

She held the whip by her side.

"My master is still upset about losing the discarded number to a worthless lowlife," she told me.

"Then tell your master that she's with me now. Even though I can't wing her, I've already marked her as mine," I replied and licked my lips.

'Why did I do that just now? I think Matsu is rubbing off on me.' I thought. She gritted her teeth and drew her whip.

"My master wanted me to make sure you never interfere with him again, so I get to leave a mark of my own," she said. "Sekirei no. 38, Mitsuha; I challenge your big breasted freak."

I just sighed and shook my head. I stepped backwards and stopped beside Musubi.

"Looks like you get have some fun Musubi," I stated. She started jumping up and down in excitement. She stepped forward and bowed.

"Sekirei no. 88, Musubi, ready to fight," she introduced. She took her fighting stance. Mitsuha whip her weapon. It flew at incredible speed towards Musubi, who dodged the attack and charged forward before another attack was launched. The whip recoiled and Mitsuha quickly launched it before Musubi delivered her haymaker. The whip ripped part of Musubi's clothes, but it didn't stop Musubi from throwing her punch. Mitsuha turned the hilt of the whip, making the bottom face Musubi. Her fist hit the hilt and absorbed some of the damage. The force knocked Mitsuha back, but not down.

As they fought, I just leaned against a tree with my arms crossed, watching the entire thing. Mitsuha growled in anger as Musubi dodged her every attack.

"Hold still!" Mitsuha shouted. She launched her whip once again, but Musubi leapt out of the way. The whip touched the ground and broke some of it to pieces. Mitsuha retracted the whip, but Musubi was nowhere to be seen. Mitsuha cracked a smile and started giggling. I looked up and immediately looked back.

"Well well, it seems your bitch ran away. Too bad, maybe I can play with you instead."

I held my arm out like I was signaling a right turn. I pointed upward, telling her to look up. She did and got nailed across the face with a haymaker and crashed to the ground. Musubi landed back on the ground. Mitsuha struggled to get back up and when she did, she was too weak to do anything else.

"That's enough Musubi, she can't do anything else," I said. I walked over to Musubi and grabbed her hand.

"Let's go."

I looked at Mitsuha.

"If you make it back to your master, he'll know who kicked your ass, so you will be my message."

I pulled Musubi along with me, but I could hear throw Mitsuha's whip. I sighed.

"Do it."

I let go of Musubi's hand and stepped out of the way. Musubi grabbed the whip and pulled Mitsuha to her. She pulled her fist back and when Mitsuha got close enough, Musubi threw her fist. Her fist collided with Mitsuha's face. The power behind it was so great that even I could feel it. Mitsuha flew like a bird and crashed into a brick wall. The moment she made contact, she coughed up blood and dropped to the ground. A light started to flash and her sekirei mark vanished.

"Now let's go."

"Wait, not yet; they have to retrieve her first," Musubi replied. On cue, a helicopter flew in and two men in black retrieved Mitsuha and left without saying a word. They flew away, leaving Musubi and I alone again. At least, that's what I thought. Suddenly, my heart began to ache and it was hard to breathe. I grabbed my chest and tried to suck in oxygen, but it wasn't good enough.

"Ren, is something wrong?"

'That's what I want to know.' I thought. All of a sudden, I heard someone clapping. I immediately turned around and saw my life flash before my eyes. When I regained focus, I saw a woman with long gray hair tied in a ponytail. She was wearing a tight black leather top, a miniskirt, and stockings. Over her shoulders was a green haori with the sekirei crest printed on it. The one thing that sent chills down my spine was her eyes. Yes her eyes, which were gray and narrow, it made me cold. I haven't felt this way since I first met Miya.

"That was a good fight Musubi," she stated. Musubi smiled and ran to her.

"Ah, Karasuba, it's good to see you. What are you doing here?" She asked.

'So her name is Karasuba.' I said in thought. I still haven't calmed down, but I managed to get my heart under control.

"Well when you took down no. 38, I figured it would be good to see how you were doing," Karasuba replied. She looked at me with a piercing gaze.

"Is he your ashikabi?"

Musubi turned towards me.

"Yes, this is Ren," she answered. I felt her gaze weaken enough for me to speak.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you," I barely managed to say. She smiled and nodded.

"Likewise," she replied. She looked back at Musubi.

"Well I have to get back now Musubi. I'll see you later."

She walked past her and to me. Musubi was waving goodbye from behind. When Karasuba stopped beside me, she placed her hand on my shoulder and whispered in my ear.

"If you dare make Musubi lose because of your weakness, then your blood will be on my blade."

I gulped a little spit.

"You don't have to worry. I-I'll make sure she wins," I replied. She laughed and let me go.

"Remember that; and stop pretending," she said and walked away. When she was clear gone, I dropped to my knees and breathed in as much oxygen as I could. Musubi ran over concerned.

"Ren, Ren, are you okay?" She questioned.

"Yeah…yeah, I'm…okay," I replied. She helped me up and we walked to a nearby bench. As we sat down, I calmed myself and regained my composure.

"Are you feeling better?" Musubi asked.

"Phew, yeah, I'm feeling better now," I told her. I looked at Musubi.

"Who was that woman just now?"

"Oh that was my friend Karasuba. She's sekirei no. 4 and leader of the Disciplinary Squad. She and I made a promise to each other," she replied.

"A promise?" I questioned.

"Mmm-hmm, before we searched for our ashikabi, we made a promise. When we found our special someone, we would stay alive till the very end and fight to see whose beliefs were stronger. Karasuba believes she doesn't need an ashikabi to be the strongest sekirei, but I disagree. I believe that the love from our ashikabis will make us stronger," she explained. "When we fight, I will prove that I became stronger thanks to our bond Ren."

I looked at her, thinking about what she said. I cracked an honest to God smile. I tilted her head to face me. I leaned forward and kissed her on the lips, making her wings flash. I broke the kiss and held her hand.

"You will win Musubi. I'll help you become stronger," I stated. She smiled and buried her face on my chest. I rubbed her back as I embraced her.

"I'm not gonna lie though, Karasuba scares the hell out of me."

"Hehehe, she can be difficult to get used to, but she can be really nice once you get to know her," she replied.

'That's if she doesn't kill you first.' I said in thought.

"Is there anything else you want to do?" I asked.

She placed a finger under her chin.

"Let's go back home for now. We can do more later on," she told me. I nodded and the two of us walked back home. As we were walking, Karasuba's words stayed clear in my mind. When we reached the house, I was greeted by a happy Yomi, who hugged me the moment I walked inside.

"Good morning Yomi, I'm happy to see you too," I replied returning her hug.

"You may be taken today, but tomorrow will be a whole other story," she said releasing me. She walked away and went upstairs. Akitsu came out of the kitchen, her hands wet.

"Welcome back master," she greeted. Musubi let go of my hand and walked further inside. That's when Matsu came down and showed me the fight between Mitsuha and Musubi. I even heard my last comment when Musubi knocked her out.

"Not even out for an hour and you've already terminated someone," she said.

"Hey she attacked first. Also, if you were watching, then you must've seen when Karasuba appeared," I told her. She was silent and sweat immediately started falling down her face. I put my arms around her waist.

"Matsu, are you okay?"

"Huh? Uh, yeah, I'm…fine, hehehe," she replied nervously.

"Okay you know something. Tell me," I demanded.

"No, no I don't. I don't know anything," she stated. I tilted her head and kissed her lips. When I pulled back, she pouted.

"You love messing with my heart don't you?"

"No, but I do love you," I stated. "Now tell me what you know."

"Hmmm, fine; I used to work with Karasuba on the Disciplinary Squad. Now she's the leader of the current squad," she said.

"She scares me; she even threatened to kill me," I replied.

"Yeah, she does that. Take heed too because it's no empty threat," Matsu told me.

"The only person who could scare me was Miya, but Karasuba doesn't even come close," I stated. Matsu managed to smile and laugh.

"If only you knew," she muttered.

"What did you say?" I questioned.

"I said when is it going to be my turn?" she lied.

"You said after Musubi's second date, so it's your own fault," I said. She walked away with her trademark grin and laugh.

"Actually, I planned for this to happen. When I'm up, you will know so much," she replied. She went back upstairs. I bet her and Yomi are planning something. That's when my phone rang, but the ID was unknown to me. I answered it.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hello Ren," someone answered.

"Huh? Miya? How did you get my number?" I asked. I could hear her giggling on the other end.

"Matsu gave it to me before you left," she said.

'I bet you used that hanya mask.' I thought.

"Okay, that explains it. So how can I help you? Do you need something or did you just want to talk?" I asked.

"Kinda both really; I want you to bring your other sekirei with you so I can meet them too. Another thing is I want you to explain what happened the other day," she said.

"Uhhh, okay, we can do that. We'll be over in a few minutes," I replied.

"See you soon," Miya responded and hung up the phone.

"Well that was awkward," I stated. I called the girls in here and told them what Miya told me. They agreed to the idea and we traveled to her house. I rang the doorbell and a man with messy silver hear wearing a long white collar shirt and black pants answered the door.

"Hi," I greeted.

"What's up," the man replied.

"I'm Ren," I said holding out my hand.

"Kagari," he replied shaking my hand.

"Nice to meet you. Is Miya here? She called and wanted to see me," I explained.

"Yeah, follow me," Kagari replied. We followed him inside and we found Miya in the backyard.

"I'm glad you came Ren," she stated. "Are these your other girls?"

"Yes, this Akitsu, Tskumi, and my newest one Yomi," I introduced. The girls bowed and Miya allowed them to do their own things, but she summoned her demon aura and warned them about the rules of the inn. They quickly nodded and ran.

"Newest one? You're a fast one aren't you?" Miya questioned.

"They reacted to me and I'm glad to have them," I replied. "Also, that Kagari guy; is he like a relative or something?"

She placed her hand over her mouth and giggled.

"Oh no, he's a tenant here. He's a good friend of mine," she replied.

"Oh, well my assumption was far off," I said.

"And what would that be?" Miya questioned.

"I thought he was your brother or something," I told her.

"From the way it looks, I am all my tenants' older sister. We're like one big happy family," she said.

"Yeah, I know what you mean, but you don't have two people constantly trying to experiment," I added. She giggled again.

"Let me guess, Matsu has a companion that shares similar traits," she said.

"On the money, but I can beat them at their own game now," I replied.

"Well at least you haven't been corrupted," she pointed out.

"You have no idea how close I am," I replied.

"Considering your position, it's natural," Miya told me. "Also, why were you running so fast the other day?"

I scratched the back of my head.

"I thought Yomi was a shinigami sent to kill me," I said. Miya only laughed.

"Well that explains why you were running so fast," she replied.

"If I saw her sekirei mark first, then I wouldn't have jumped to conclusions," I stated. "And are there other tenants living here as well?"

"Why do you want to know that? So you can increase your harem?" she interrogated.

"No! It's not that; I just wanted to avoid any surprises," I answered. She giggled at my response.

"I see. Well yes, there are other tenants. I won't tell you who they are. You're gonna have to find them," she told me. I thought about it for a while.

"By any chance, is there a blond hair boy with a little girl named Kusano?" I asked. Miya didn't respond. She just looked at me.

"How did you know?" Miya questioned.

"On the way home when I first came here, I met those two coming this way. I figured that they lived here," I explained.

"Hmhmhm, you are right. The boy's name is Blake. He's a nice young man and he cares for Kusano like his own sister," she told me.

"I saw that. He even got her to call me 'Mr. Gentle Giant'," I replied. She laughed again.

"I can see why. In her eyes, you really are a giant," she told me. I laughed myself.

"Oh yeah, where's Takehito?" I asked.

"He's at MBI today. He also showed me your fight in the park," Miya replied.

"I'm gonna tell you right now that I was attacked first and it was entirely self-defense. I was just out with Musubi and this woman just suddenly dropped down and attacked us," I explained. There was something I wanted to ask Miya, but I was afraid, so I pushed it back.

"Well thanks for having us over Miya. I would like to stay and keep you company, but i made this deal with Musubi and I'm here's for twenty four hours."

"What did you do?" she asked.

"I needed food for my parents and the girls are way faster than I am, so I made them race. I would do whatever the winner said without question. That was all the motivation they needed," I replied. "Did you know Matsu has a power bike?"

"Well I hope you have fun then; and don't become like Matsu and take advantage of poor Musubi," she said with the demonic aura showing.

"Shouldn't you be saying that to her and not me?" I interrogated.

"I'm just teasing. Seriously though, I know you love your sekirei; but don't become corrupted and betray their love," she scolded.

"Trust me, I won't do anything of the sort," I replied. She giggled again.

"I'm glad you think that. Take care and be care; I heard from Takehito that nearly ten percent of the sekirei have been winged. Soon, the next phase will commence," she said.

"Then we better prepare ourselves," I replied. I got my girls and said goodbye to Miya and Kagari. The sun was staring to set. When we made it back home, Musubi decided just to stay home during the duration of her day. I was walking through the house, looking for any secrets. I managed to find a secret compartment hidden in the wall. Like Matsu's room at Maison Izumo, the wall slid open and revealed a door. I reached for the knob and open the door. Inside the room was a giant empty area. It's bigger than the kitchen. I brought the girls in so they could take a look.

"So you found a hidden room inside a wall? What are you going to make this into?" Matsu asked.

"My new bedroom," I stated.

"Huh?" everyone questioned.

"Yeah; I mean let's face it. I'm going to get more sekirei and there won't be enough room for them. I can get a king sized bed, put a TV in here, and suit it up to my liking," I explained.

"Then what about your old room?" Yomi asked.

"Well, since Tskumi and I made an agreement, she'll move in here too. We can let the others have that one and have room left," I replied.

"For eight people, but what if you get eight sekirei?" Matsu questioned.

"Then one can share with me and Tskumi," I stated.

"What! I will not share my husband's bed with no one else!" Tskumi yelled. I waved my hand up and down.

"Actually, I found a loophole in our agreement. I agreed to let you share the bed with me; however, I didn't say that no one else was allowed," I said.

She started stuttering, but couldn't say anything. I smiled triumphantly.

"Now that's settled, I need to find a place to suit this room up. Also, we're going to need a new fridge."

All of a sudden, I heard some alarms going off that scared the hell out of me.

"What's that?"

"Someone is being attacked," Matsu stated. She pulled a tablet out of her cleavage and scrolled the screen. She showed me what was happening. Apparently, a sekirei is being attacked.

"What are you gonna do Ren?" Matsu asked.

"We're going after them. If we hurry, we can stop them before it's too late," I stated without hesitation. The girls completely agreed and we came up with our strategy.

Present

We stand across from the targets. There were three of them chasing another. Yomi cornered her while Musubi, Tskumi, and Akitsu faced the others. One was a girl with orange hair wearing a yellow jumpsuit. Another was a girl with purple hair with a ribbon tied on it. She was wearing a white blouse with another ribbon tied around it. She wore a small black dress over the blouse. There was another girl standing directly in front of me. She was the one they were chasing. She was a well-endowed young woman with long dark brown hair. Her eyes matched her hair. She had a well-developed body figure. She wore a pure white silk outfit that covered her most necessary body parts.

"Hey there," I greeted. She put up her arms in defense.

"Huff, what do you want?" she interrogated angrily.

"I'm here to help," I replied.

"I don't need your help; I can deal with this myself," she stated. This wasn't getting anywhere. Yomi soon walked up from behind me.

"Hello…Uzume," Yomi said.

Yomi? What are you doing here? Is this guy your ashikabi?" Uzume asked. She smiled and grabbed onto my arm.

"He is, and I'm here for the same reason the rest of us are here," she replied.

"Rest?" Uzume questioned.

"Yes, Musubi, Tskumi, and Matsu are his sekirei as well," Yomi told her. "We saw you were in trouble and rushed to help."

"Is that so? Well I don't need your assistance, so you can go back," she said.

"No Uzume, we want to help, so please allow us to help," Yomi pleaded. "Ren talk to her."

I nodded and proceeded forward.

"Uzume; my name is Ren," I introduced.

"Okay then, so why do you want to help? Do you just want my power or my body?" she asked. I scratched the back of my head.

"I'm not gonna lie, kinda both; but that's not the reason. Like Yomi said, we're just here to help. I want you to join us; our family," I stated.

"I've heard that one before. You're just like the other ashikabis; you only want power," she said.

"I assure you that's not the case. I treat all my sekirei with love and care and I'll do the same with you," I declared. She started to ease down.

"He's right Uzume. Ren makes all of us feel special. He even made Akitsu, the discarded sekirei his. If you give him a chance, he'll show you the same love he's shown us and you won't regret your decision; I promise," Yomi stated. Uzume looked down and placed her hand on her chest. She wasn't blushing. More like thinking.

"How do I know if he isn't some sick person in secret?" she questioned. Yomi smiled and suddenly kissed me on the lips. When she pulled back, she kissed my cheek. I'm glad I'm used to this now.

"Now would I do that if he was sick twisted person?" she asked Uzume.

"I suppose not," Uzume replied. I slowly walked forward to prevent provoking Uzume. I grasped one of her hands.

"Uzume, will you join us? You may not want me, but I want you; and if you give me the chance, I will prove that I am worthy to have you at my side," I told her with an honest to God smile. Her eyes began to sparkle.

"Uzume, will you be my sekirei?"

She looked down at the ground.

"I… I want to be your sekirei," she stated. I smiled and kissed her on the lips, sprouting her beautiful pink wings and forming the contract. I broke the kiss and she rested her head on my chest.

"Sekirei no. 10, Uzume; your my ashikabi now and forever."

The Girls' Fight

Musubi engaged the girl in the jumpsuit. Tskumi faced the one in the blouse while Akitsu watched from the sidelines

"This doesn't concern you. That sekirei belongs to my master, Higa," the girl wearing the blouse stated.

"Then I'm afraid your master won't be having her, because my master has already winged her," Akitsu replied. Everyone saw me wing Uzume and make her mine. The blouse wearing girl gritted their teeth while the one in the jumpsuit just kept her expressionless face.

"Damn! If only you wouldn't have interfered. We can't go back empty handed; but taking out two sekirei should make up for it," the blouse girl said. She pulled out several bladed disks while the other took a fighting stance.

"Sekirei no. 101, Oriha," she introduced and curtsied.

"Sekirei no. 86, Katsuragi," she announced in a monotone voice. Tskumi summoned particles of water while Musubi took her stance.

"Sekirei no. 9, Tskumi," Tskumi introduced.

"Sekirei no. 88, Musubi; let's have a good fight," Musubi stated. She charged at Katsuargi, who followed suit. Musubi threw an uppercut, but Katsuragi leapt out of the way. She spun in midair and kicked behind Musubi, who quickly turned around and blocked with her wrist.

"Water Celebration!" Tskumi yelled and fired a jet of water. Oriha commanded two of her blades to spin in front of her. The blades blocked the water, but it suddenly rose and a dragon slithered on the rooftop.

"Water Dragon!"

The beast roared and attacked Oriha. She jumped out of the way and used her blades to slice the dragon to droplets.

"We'll show you for interfering with Master Higa," Oriha stated.

"Then bring it on," Tskumi replied and a tidal wave appeared behind her.

Musubi and Katsuragi were still going at it. Katsuragi kicks were just as powerful as Musubi's punches. She went for the high kick, but Musubi ducked and delivered a right hook. Katsuragi pushed off Musubi and avoided the attack and did a backflip kick to the chin the process. Musubi slid back and hung her arms down. I could see this dark pink aura surrounding Musubi.

'What's happening? I've never seen her do this before.' I thought. All of a sudden, a black bear appeared; it sort of reminded me of the hanya mask that Miya summons except the hanya is more frightening. Musubi looked up and the aura engulfed her fist. Katsuragi charged forward with Musubi meeting her head on. She used her momentum and threw her fist forward, making it fly faster.

"Bear! Fist!" She yelled.

Katsuragi threw another high kick, but Musubi's fist was faster and hit Katsuagi's stomch.

"Ahhhhhh!" She screamed as she flew like a torpedo. She hit the ground hard and couldn't stand up. Musubi walked to her as the sekirei mark vanished.

Tskumi dodged Oriha's blades and used her water sword to drive in close. As she closed in, she compacted an orb of water and put two fingers together. When she got as close as can be, she aimed at Oriha and exclaimed.

"Water Arrow!"

The speed of the water was ten times faster than last time. Oriha didn't have a chance to think before the water hit and pierced through her chest. Blood gushed out from her mouth and she fell to the ground. Her sekirei mark started vanishing as well.

A couple of hours later

I walked into the living room wanting something to drink. Since I didn't have anything for the new room yet, I let Uzume take my place while I slept on the floor. The lamp was on and I saw someone sitting on the couch; it was Uzume. I sat down beside, making her weary of my presence.

"Is something wrong Uzume?" I asked. I put my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me.

"I was thinking about something. Actually; tomorrow, can you come with me somewhere?" she asked.

"I'll do anything to help. Tskumi has infected me, but whenever one of my wives are troubled, I will do anything I can to make them happy again. That's not a promise; but a vow," I stated. She smiled and giggled. She looked at me and closed her eyes, wanting something. I leaned closer and pressed my lips to hers.

"Do you say this to all the ladies?' she asked after we broke the kiss. I gently caressed her cheek.

"Only to the ones I love," I said smiling. She giggled again and we kissed one last time.

A/N: Finally finished with this chapter. I'm sorry if the winging wasn't how you'd expected, but I'll make up for it next chapter hopefully. I'm glad for this one because my favorite sekirei is introduced. Again please forgive me if it's not to your liking. It may take a while for me to upload another chapter because school starts Monday. Well I hope you guys enjoy. This has been MalevolentDarkness16; BYE.
