Snow fell as I landed on a nearby building from my house, already on my way back from Maison Izumo. I looked up to the sky and smiled. "Oh boy, I'm getting excited." I said aloud to myself.

I took a breath of the sweet, fresh and frosty air that she whipped up for me, and I breathed out the frosty white vapor that comes from the warm ehalation in a cold night. Seeing this, I smiled and put two fingers in my mouth and whistled really loud, signalling her to come out.

Flashback:

I arrived at Maison Izumo and walked into the inn, thankfully without my helmet so that I don't upset Miya. I walked in and found that silver haired man from earlier on walking down the stairs. For some reason, he wasn't as suave and stylish looking as the last time; he looked much more fatigued and tired. He was sweating, I could feel it, almost like he was radiating heat like a fire on the rise. I looked around, and thanfully nobody was in the room, or within listening distance. I looked back at him. "Makes sense for you to be such a crabbypants when we met. Your body was probably radiating fire like a reacting sekirei when I was walking over to Matsu as well." I told him. "But it wasn't like you were reacting to me, was it?" I asked.

He snarled a bit at me, angry that I made a comparison like that; and yet he looked as though he was surprised that I found out something that he thought I knew, even though I probably didn't know. "How do you know I'm-" he started to interrogate.

"—a sekirei? You just told me. And in me, your secret is safe, trust me. Just as you and Minato, as well as a few other people in this house know about the fact that I'm Cable." I interrupted him. "Welcome to my world, mister..." I started before realizing that I didn't know his name.

"Kagari." he told me.

"Kagari." I recited. "I'm going to check on my friend. I have a lady waiting." I told him as I walked into the backyard to find Minato sitting on the back porch.

Minato was sitting with a little blonde girl in a small light green dress, her eyes were emerald green and her skin was a peachy color. She cuddled with him, and I noted to myself that he winged her already, so it made sense. I smiled in a pride for him. 'Just a week ago I met my first sekirei, and now he has his second. Apparently best friends get the same bonuses in this game.' I thought to myself. 'Way to go, kid.' I sat down next to him. He looked to me and I smiled at him. "You have any problems in the botanical garden?" I asked him.

He shook his head and pet Kusano's head, making her smile and suggle more. "Nothing Musubi couldn't handle. One sekirei, and that's really it." he answered. "What about you? You did most of the work, how was it?" he asked me, as if concerned.

I smiled and chuckled merrily. "I had the most fun today. I met two sekirei, and one of them danced with me while turning our dancing into epic overkill for the enemy." I answered. "So much fun."

"How do you turn dancing into overkill?" he asked. "Are you psychic or able to make explosions?"

"Oriha can manipulate the movements of sawblades that she has. And I magnetcially made arc-knives fly around as well." I explained as I looked to the sleeping Kusano. "What can she do?" I asked.

"She can control the plants." he answered. "It's actually pretty cool. But I'm curious. About Akitsu."

I smiled and took out my arc-knives. "Did you know that my tech can enable me to fight sekirei? The weapons I have are imbued with kinetic energy, and my guns are even more special. Oh, but anyway, what about Akitsu?" I dawdled and then asked him.

He blinked in awe at my arc-knife and then he re-focused and asked me. "What is her power? And how did you meet?"

I smiled and put my knives away. "She fell unconscious in my front yard from that morning when John Hoffman woke me up at the beginning of the week, and I nursed her back to health. I told her that I liked the snow, and I painted her my first commission in my house's studio room. I walked you home, and then it began to snow." I began to answer him.

"Wait, are you saying-?" he asked as his eyes widened in awe. "She can control the weather?"

I chuckled and scratched my head. "Ice. Not the weather." I answered him. "She made it snow, and... well, we just fell in love." I said as I just remembered about Akitsu. "Oh, crap, I'd better head back to her. Remember to gimme some business, you get a discount anyway." I reminded him as I ignited the rockets and flew out of there.

She landed on her feet, a foot or two away from me. She was wearing a one-shoulder strapped, almost no back fabric white dress made of perma frost crustals fined down to fibers. I smiled at her warmly and adoringly. 'Oh, Akitsu...' I bubbled to myself. "How do I look, master?" she asked me in such a cute and yet still monotone way.

I kissed her deeply, her wings of light blazing cooly again. I giggled bashfully and said, "You look beautiful, as always, Akitsu. But the snowfall brings it out with your dress even more."

She smiled a bit and her eyes flaired with delight from pleasing me. "You're always enjoying me, master-"

I held her chin in my thumb and finger genty, interrupting her. "I'm your lover, Akitsu. My name is Nathan." I corrected her with a kiss.

Her wings bazed out again, and she gasped and sputtered with delight, and I could tell that excitement and joy were boiling up and bubbling out of her. Her eyes were closed and she was blushing everywhere. "Nathan, I'm going to melt if you keep doing that." she both warned and begged of me.

I kissed her and held her close. I whispered and breathed sexy for her, "We should take this date to the bedroom, my love."

We looked into each other's were filled with the beastly glinting light of excitement, and hers were melting ice in a pool of hot, warm cocoa goodness. I smiled excitedly. "Or we could do it here." I suggested.

"No, the bedroom, Nathan." she simpered, as if her lust was melting and crackling down her icy voice and as if she was going to burst just by touching me.

I kissed her again and whispered, "Yes, mistress."

We were naked in our bedroom, and we cound still see the snowfall outside of the house through a window. The room was barely lit with a few pink-red tinted lightbulbs in our lamps, and forest scented sandalwood incense was burning in the room to give the room a good aroma. I walked my way over to her and gently held and rubbed her breast on one hand and her head in the other. Her body began to fill up with the delicious heat and excitement, just the same as I was. Her eyes began to erupt the scrumptious feeling of lust and enflamed love, and her face practically begged for me without even a single word from her mouth. I kissed her deeply and held her close, feeling my erection rub against her streaming and moist vagina. She immediately bolted out a moan of passionate and teased hunger and pleasure. Her mouth was squirming while we kissed and she moaned in my mouth until she pulled out and cried out, "Please, Nathan, do whatever you want to me! I'll do anything you say!"

I smiled warmly to her, happy to hear this devotion from her. 'I'll always love you and desire you, my Akitsu.' I thought to myself as I kissed her neck a bit and whispered in her ear, "Get on all fours on the bed."

Obediently, she got on her hands and knees on the bed. Her vagina was actually dripping with excitement before I decided to start eating it out and pleasing her. She began to moan and cry out in pleasure as I licked and used my mouth on her vagina, unhurriedly and deeply. Then, she actually moved her hips to press herself deeper into my mouth. My eyes closed, I held her butt in my hands and made wild tongue dancing and thrashing in her, using my lips to tease her and keep her going as well. 'You're so awesome, Akitsu! And so deliciously horny!' I cried out in my mind as I kept going faster and deeper in my tongue movements. Then she asked me, "D-do I taste g-good Nathan-n?"

I gave a kiss to it, and answered, "You taste wonderful, Akitsu." before I kept licking her deep.

She pressed her vagina to me more and cried out, "Nathan! Ooooaaaahhh!" and had an ejaculation in my mouth.

Her orgasm was beyond amazing. It was so much of nothing less than a frosty freezy sweet goodness that came from her, and it had this peachy accent to the mix, it turned out amazing though. No, it was even better. The words didn't even exist to describe the goodness he tasted as she cried out loudly in pleasure. She lied down on her back, and she was sweating and breathing heavily and embarrasedly, as if she was going to heat up and hunger for even more of me. "D-did I cum too early, master?" she asked as I kissed her lips.

I giggled and kept french kissing her until I began to suck on her breasts. They were so soft, and so big, and so warm and smooth. I kept sucking and licking her more and more, and all the while massaging them with my hands, and she was just crying out and nearly screaming in sexual joy. "Aah! Yes, Nathan! Oooh mmmm! Nathan, eat me more! I want your love!" she kept crying out for me, invigorating me and rallying me to do more.

Then, I stuck my penis inside of her and began to thrust and push it into her vagina. She yelled out, "Aaaaauuuoaaaaaaah! Nathan!" in passionate joy as her vagina quivered and tightened around my dick.

I pushed in deeper and pulled back, and repeated the motions softly to begin with. She grabbed onto the headboard of the master bed and as I kept humping into her and thrusting us back and forth, the bed began to shake with us. She moaned and cried out loudly and passionately. Her eyes were closed a perfect tight and she cried out, "Oh! N-Nathaan! Aah! Aah! Mmmooah!" over and over again, and that envigorated me to keep going faster and harder for her.

I asked her in a grunting tense, "How do you—nngh!— like it, Akitsu?" as I kept thrashing inside of her.

"I—aauhmm!— love it, Nathan! Climax with me, please!" she begged in response as it happened.

My muscles tightened and my flesh became white-hot as I felt my orgasm flow into her, and hers splashed onto me. We both grunted and cried out in love, holding one another in our postures while our bodies gave way for one another. Then, we fell to the bed and simply lied on the bed with one another, looking into each other's eyes. We were sweating, breathing fast and panting, and her body was blushing everywhere. I smiled and cuddled with her. "Akitsu, you're my favorite ice lady, you know that?" I asked her.

She kissed me deeply, her tongue trying to pin mine down and have its way with it. We began rubbing each other as we kept kissing deeper and deeper, until she looked into my eyes, hers all misty and fiery at the same time, and she pulled out of the kiss, smiling a crack. "I never took you for someone who likes to do these things with their mouths, Nathan." she teased.

I smiled nervously and giggled even more so. "Are you sure you can't hear my thoughts?" I asked her. "I'm starting to think you can."

She didn't even reply with words before she kissed the tip of my dick, putting some saliva into the kiss peck as she began to enclose her lips around it. I closed my eyes tightly and grunted as she began to suck deeper on my dick. The icy warmth of her mouth made it grow bigger in her mouth, and my whole body tingled in reaction to her. 'Yup, I'm gonna die a happy man!' I thought to myself as the unexpected happened. It was so deep in her mouth that it actually hit the back of her throat, and she gagged in pleasure a bit. That actually kept going until I grunted out loudly, almost screaming at that, "Akitsu—!"

My muscles heated and tightened up again as my orgasm almost overflowed her mouth. Nonetheless, she drank it all down, almost hungrily. After a minute, she pulled out and we were laying with each other again. I smiled, weakly and fatiguedly. "How was it?" I asked her.

We looked at eachother and began to laugh a little bit, until we fell asleep. I thought that my slumber would host no dreams, believe me. But when it came to my dreams, all was open to debate. I was in the middle of a random street junction, and I was dressed in my white armor, but my helmet was folded out and pulled back. I held twin special arc-knives with knuckle guards that had small arc-spikes on the outer part of the guard. I looked up and forward to find a woman with long, flowing sunlit hair, blowing in the wind. The air seemed to be a bit humid and moist, more than usual; kind of like when it was about to rain. That made start to warm up inside already, but then it frozen in fear when she turned around to me. Although she wasn't very scary looking, not at all... *ahem*!

She had lapiz lazuli eyes, shaped like a combination of the most beautiful ovalular form and the eyes of an angry dragon ready to hurl its might at me. Her mouth was in a disapproving frown and her face was similar to Akitsu's somehow. But Akitsu was more like ice, perma forzen and emotionless. This woman was more so stern and angry, yet something told me that she wasn't frozen this way all the time. She looked down at me and shouted, "Ashikabi!"

I took stance, startled by her yelling. "Y-yeah?" I studdered a bit.

"Prepare thyself, for your demise!" she shouted out as the whole dream became blackened out by that same nightmarish shade that usually came around now.

I stood on my two feet, unarmed and un-armored. "Oh, great. What now?" I demanded from it.

" 'What now' you ask?" the voice gurgled. "Nothing, my soul brother. Is it wrong to simply be friendly?"

"You scare the living shit out of me, so the answer is 'yes'." I answered.

The voice actually laughed and all of the collected darkness took a cloudy humanoid form and the blank city came up around us. "Is this better?" it asked me.

"Can I punch you?" I asked in response.

It crossed its arms disapprovingly and said, "No."

I snarled and glared at him. "Then this isn't better." I said, as I spat at the ground. "Go away."

"Why do you hate—?" it began to interrogate.

"You know damn well why, you're a remnant of someone that... passed on years ago. You're an afterimage of a fallen dream, a shadow of the good times." I snapped interruptingly. "You are nothing but something I want to be rid of."

"But I am bound to you like he was. Like—" he began to argue.

"Don't you dare compare yourself to my sekireis and don't even think for one f**king second that you are anything like Akitsu!" I yelled at him, my face becoming red with anger and my body powering up furiously. "She is special to me, and you are just the after effects of a calamity!" I screamed.

He was silent, and we simply just stood there. "Are you so angry about what happened to him that you're willing to blot out everything?" he asked.

I sneered at him. "I will always honor Alan for what he and I had together, but you are just trying to control me! You will get out of my head or I will kill us both, and don't think I won't." I barked at him. "Either that, or you will balance this out with a light side of Alan's afterimage."

We both stood there in the silent tension, and he was pondering about his next action. 'This idiot brought up Alan of all people, and now I just want to punch this motherfu—' I thought to myself until he spat it out. "Fine, Nathan. You may have what you want." he answered reluctantly.

Then, as if the good lord had graced me with a thought, I woke up in the bed with my Akitsu. Upon the opening of my eyes and the sight of my lover, I smiled. "You may have what you want." were his words, still echoing in my ears. I got up to my feet and walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to grab some munchies. I frowned and my eyes became misty with sadness. 'I hope I know what I'm doing... Alan.' I thought to myself as I ate some food, slowly.

I got in my white armor with the dome visor and I put on the cases for my knives, and put the knuckle guarded ones in my scabbards. I had me helmet in my hand as I locked the door to the armory and began to pop my neck as I walked into the living room, towards the door to the front yard. Before I could make it out, I noticed that Benitsubasa was following me out. I stopped and looked to her. "Benitsubasa, I'm not sure you should accompany me for the winging of another sekirei." I told her.

She pouted irritatedly at me. "You need someone to go out there with you, and you know it—!" she started.

"No, I don't. I'm perfectly capable on my own, Benitsubasa." I told her.

She held me by my arms and shook me a little bit. "You're. A. Human, Nathan! Face it, Cable isn't going to be invincible, not alone." she barked. "I'm going with you, and that's that, mister. Got it?!"

I stood there, baffled by her resolve. She was blushing a cherry red, and she looked like she was going to break like Akitsu's ice when she gets flustered. I smiled and cackled merrily. "Alright, Benitsubasa. Come out with me, but bring Katsuragi too. We need as much pugilist power as possible, so let's get rockin'." I answered with a warm grin.

She smiled, overjoyed by the fact that I wanted her with me. "Anything you say Nathan—!" she cried out.

"Cable." I corrected as I winked and put on my helmet.

She closed her eyes and grinned. "Alright... 'Cable'." she agreed.
