I LIIIIIIIIIIVE!

Hey everyone that reads my story I'm alive! I apologize for not updating the story sooner but I have two reasons for this.

The first of them is laziness and procrastination. These had occurred for the rest of December since the last chapter and the beginning of January.

The second was a research paper I had to do for English. If any of you know how long it takes to write one of those then you know why this is coming out late.

Guest: That is okay if you're still here, but I'm gonna ask you to only review if you have something to comment about. Other then that thank for sticking around for this long.

Guest: I added Minato to the "tags" like you suggested and I believe it helped a lot so thanks. I'm glad you gave my story a chance and that you enjoyed the chapter. Yes, I thank you for bringing the manga to my attention, but I just wish it gets updated soon.

Well now with the reviews all out of the way I guess it's time to gets the chapter and all that jazz. So enjoy the chapter and have a nice Valentine's Day today!

Disclaimer! I DON'T OWN SEKIREI! IF I DID I WOULD HAVE GIVEN MINATO A BIGGER FLOCK!


Akitsu just stared at her Ashikabi as she and the others slept with simple peaceful smiles. But… she couldn't. She just layed down right next to Yasmine watching her, making sure that nothing happens to her. No. 07 couldn't stand that her Ashikabi was in danger and that she could have gotten hurt or worse.

So with a solid resolution Akitsu decided to stay awake and make sure that her Ashikabi was fine. Yet, the subtle growling from her stomach caused the ice user to blush in slight embarrassment.

With no difficulty she got up from her spot next to Yasmine and moved No. 16 into her spot for the time being. With that done No. 07 began her small trek downstairs to get a small snack to eat. She thought back to the discussion that occurred during breakfast, about the Ashikabi of the East and Toyotama's re-winging, the ice user didn't really get to eat that much.

~Flashback~

The small extraction team of Yasmine's Sekirei walked back into the Inn with said Ashikabi in the ice woman's arms. No. 16 was being supported by Taki and Haihane to help get the dark greenette inside. Once the small group entered the dining room all of the table's occupants turned to see what had happened to No. 00 and the new arrival.

Karasuba looked at them with narrowed eyes as she looked the young electricity user over. "What the hell happened?"

The greenette slowly opens one of her eyes so she could address her aunt properly. "I went to… talk with a Sekirei. When I got there… we talked for a while… and when we left… Higa's Sekirei were there."

That was all that Yasmine had to say before the killing intent could basically be felt coming off of her mother and aunt. All of the occupants coward at the two older women as they looked at each other with a knowing look. Once the look had passed both of their killing intent was gone and to the wind causing them all to release a sigh of relief.

"Now then, Yasmine, would you please like to introduce us to your new friend. I want to address the one that caused this much trouble for you." Miya stated as she looked over at the staff wielder with a sickly sweet smile. Her demonic mask appearing behind her as she stared Toyotama down.

With a rather noticeable gulp from both of the greenettes Yasmine shakily brought up her arm and pointed it at Toyotama. "W-Well mom t-this is Sekirei No. 16 Toyotama a-and she was one of the two other Sekirei that were released from Higa."

Toyotama who was physically shaking began to bow in respect to the obviously stronger and scarier woman in front of her. "I-It's a pleasure to m-meet you as y-your daughter has said I am No. 16 Toyotama."

With that said the landlady dropped her overly sweet smile, as well as her mask, and looked at her with a rather natural one. "Well then, Toyotama, I welcome you to Izumo Inn."

The dark greenette let out a sigh of relief as she turned to face her soon to be Ashikabi. "So, Yasmine, about the agreement about my winging?"

A nod of her head No. 00 looks around the room to see that four of her five Sekirei were currently present. "Well the one with the pink hair is Benitsubasa, the one that is wrapped up in bandages is Haihane, the beautiful silver haired queen is Taki, Kochou is most likely upstairs at the moment, and last is my gorgeous ice goddess and first Sekirei Akitsu."

With her name called No. 07 looked over at her Ashikabi only for her to dive headfirst into her massive mammaries. Akitsu didn't even react to this or even the wack of a ladle on Yasmine's head that came afterwards. With the introductions done Toyotama proceeded to count off the aforementioned woman on her hands.

"Wait, I only counted five Sekirei and I sure as hell know none of them have electric powers. So where is that electric Sekirei of yours?" No. 16 asked with a slight edge to her voice.

"W-Well you see about that… I'm the electric Sekirei that you're talking about. And I'm also the Ashikabi of the lovely women I just mentioned." The greenette said as her right hand groped Taki's breast while her left grabbed Benitsubasa's ass.

~Flashback end~

After that was said there was a whole argument about Yasmine supposedly 'lying' to Toyotama. That in which made Yasmine walk over to Chiho and ask for a kiss, which the young female agreed to and made Yasmine sprout her wings.

That in turn made the staff wielder shut up and think about what she was going to do now. When she had made her decision the physically fit Sekirei walked over to the literal ninja and kissed her making murky green wings sprout from her back.

When the winging had finished the little TV set in the dining flashed on revealing Minaka in all of his glory. The mad scientist was currently speaking to them about Yasmine. With her being both a Sekirei and Ashikabi, which is why he came up with the plan with her clothing. If she wears her normal clothes she is deemed an Ashikabi, but when she wears her Sekirei attire, obviously, or uses her powers she is deemed a Sekirei.

After the face of Minaka had disappeared the two Sekirei ate some of the breakfast set out and declared that they were going to go take a nap. Which prompted the rest of Yasmine's flock to follow close behind.

Akitsu stood in the doorway of the dining room only to see Miya sitting at the table with a troubled expression. Yet, upon entering the room the lavenderette landlady turned to the brunette with a pleased smile. "Ah, Akitsu, it's good that you've came down. You see I don't have a lot of ingredients for lunch today, so I was wondering if you could go out and get some for me? The list and money for the ingredients are in a bag in the kitchen if you want to do it."

No. 07 just nodded her head and walked over to the basket before exiting the Inn to do one of her chores.

~Line Break~

Once Akitsu had finished her shopping she left the supermarket and began her trek back to the Inn. When she was beginning to walk past an alleyway a blur pushed the unsuspecting woman into said closed space. When Akitsu had gotten up she looked down at the bag in hand only to see that the tomatoes had fallen out and were now either bruised or busted.

"Why dos't thou ignore me?!" Shouted the questioning voice of the person who had shoved her into the alley.

The woman in question was undoubtedly a Sekirei from the manner of how she dressed. With her extremely short white underdress and black overcoat she was undoubtedly a Sekirei. But that wasn't important to the ice woman as she stared at the ruined fruit on the ground.

"I don't have any more money get more tomatoes. Now what am I going to do." Akitsu stated in her monotonous voice as she looked at the floor.

On the other hand the very busty blonde turned a bright shade of red from her anger. "How dare thou ignore me! State thy name and number so we may do battle!"

The brunette only looked up at the blonde woman only to get an eye full of her panties. "I will not do that for I was just shopping for some ingredients for lunch and now the tomatoes are ruined. What am I going to tell Yasmine-sama's mother when I get home."

"Why art thou worrying over something as measly as a mere fruit when I have come to challenge you?! For I am Sekirei No. 09, Tsukiumi!"

"But I don't want to fight you, so I'm not going to do what you asked of me. Also one other thing, my Ashikabi hates you with all of her heart."

Tsukiumi was actually shocked as she heard this. Someone… hated her? This wasn't something that she was accustomed to. Sure she expected to be envied, drooled over, and seeked out for her figure, but hate was a new one for her. And to make matters worse it was an Ashikabi that said this, 'That lowly monkey how dare she say this about me! Me! The strongest of the Sekirei! Why when I see that Ashikabi and the one that is causing me to react they will never live to see another day!'

When the overly theatric Sekirei was done thinking she looked down to see that her 'opponent' was gone. With that she ran out of the alleyway and looked left and right only to see nothing. With an even redder face then before No. 09 turned her face towards the sky and screamed out in frustration.

~Line Break~

Akitsu let out a small sigh as she heard the loud scream. Yes, it was possibly her fault that the water user was frustrated, but it was her fault in the first place. If the blonde hadn't pushed her down then the tomatoes wouldn't have been ruined and if the tomatoes hadn't gotten ruined then she wouldn't be late to get back to the Inn. Sure it was only by a few minutes but that was time wasted that could have been used preparing lunch.

When No. 07 had exited her inner turmoil she noticed that she was now in front of the Inn. And right as the ice user opened the door Kagari had walked out in his work uniform as he began to walk away. Cocking her head to the side she wondered why the silver haired man was going to his job this early.

With a small shrug of her shoulders the resident ice woman walked into the Inn only for something to charge into her. And that someth- actually someone was Kusano. The Green Girl was hiding herself behind her while slightly shaking. No. 07 looked down at the little blonde with slight confusion as to what would have caused her to end up like this.

"Kusano, what is it that is troubling you? Is it something that relates to your Ashikabi?"

The little girl looks up at the older woman with a slight sense of awe as she shook her head. "No, Onii-chan is safe Aki-nee." This caused the ice user to mentally squeal in excitement, but she didn't really show it at all. "It's just that Beni-nee and Musubi-nee are fighting."

This caused Akitsu to release a small chuckle as she patted Kuu's head lightly. "It is okay Kusano. They are only sparing and won't hurt each other too bad."

"I'M GONNA KILL YA YOU BIG BOOBIED BIMBO!" The voice of Benitsubasa screamed as the sounds of pounding came from outside.

"Huh? But what did I do? I don't remember making you mad, so what did I do?" The ever clueless Musubi asked as more pounding could be heard.

This however caused the light brunette to let out an agitated sigh as she began to walk to the sounds of the pounding. Once she was there she could see what the problem was or in this case problems. Musubi was wearing an old school gym uniform. A rather tight gym uniform. While Benitsubasa was wearing the same thing, but was now frustrated at the fact that Musubi's shirt was emphasizing certain assets that the pinkette didn't have. The second factor to the current problem was also a messy haired mummy that was sitting down watching the spare while snacking on some chips, as she made snarky comments every now and then.

The clawed gauntlet user was just chuckling at the sight of the enraged No. 105 as she tried to pummel Musubi. As this occurred Akitsu walked behind the cat like Sekirei as she stared at the spare with a light disdain. "Benitsubasa!" The ice woman monotonously shouted catching the attention of all three Sekirei in the vicinity. "Don't forget that Yasmine-sama doesn't care about the size of your breasts. She cares about all of you equally and wouldn't change a thing about you."

With slight change in attitude then before the short fist type puffed her chest out in pride. "Yeah, I guess your right. After all our Ashikabi also likes my ass as much as any of your breasts."

A taunting smirk appearing on her face at the position that the pinkette has just put herself in Haihane let out a small chuckle. "Well… that's just because it's really the only thing that she can grab on a washboard like you anyways."

"What'd you say! You wanna go bitch!? Come on let's go!"

Luckily, for Benitsubasa, Akitsu had her hands covering Kuu ears making sure that she didn't hear any of their conversation. Now that the argument had escalated once again the Sekirei of ice led the small Sekirei of life away from them and into the kitchen. When she had entered the kitchen she saw Miya was preparing what little ingredients she had for lunch.

"Ah, Akitsu, you're back with the groceries. I hope everything went alright." The landlady said as she continued to prepare the tenants lunch.

With a small nod of her head No. 07 places the bag of groceries on the counter before turning to exit the cooking area. "Hmmm, Akitsu, where are the tomatoes I asked for? I am pretty sure that I had put them on the list."

This had stopped the usually emotionless Sekirei to stop and start to sweat profusely in worry. "W-well you see Miya-dono I had a small encounter with the Sekirei of water, Tsukiumi. And she pushed me into an alleyway to get me to fight her which in turn caused the tomatoes to fall out of the bag ruining them." This caused Miya to let out a small sight in frustration as she motioned for Akitsu to continue. "W-which is why the tomatoes are not in the bag and I spent all the money that you gave me to buy what you asked of me."

Letting out a small sigh of annoyance she reminded herself to write down to punish No. 09 if she ever came to Izumo Inn. She looked towards the frozen back of Akitsu as she saw that the ice user was shaking in fear slightly. "Hehehehe, you're fine, Akitsu, it isn't your fault that the tomatoes were ruined, but let's not think about that for the moment. Would you mind helping me prepare the rest of lunch with Kusano?"

The busty Sekirei let out a small sigh of relief as she turned around and nodded her head. While the two woman were finishing making lunch and Kusano grabbing the things that they had asked for. Miya was thinking of ways to punish Tsukiumi if what Minato had told them during breakfast was true then she'd get to do, so very soon.

While far away on the top of a building a certain busty blonde let an involuntary shiver run down her spine. The feeling of ill intent that was directed towards her was so great she began to slightly sweat. Yet, she shrugged it off as she continued her search for the two Ashikabi that were pissing her off.


A/N: Okay people I'm not sure when I'll get chapter 11 out, so I'm just putting this down here just in case something like this happens again. So without further ado I bid you all a good Valentine's Day!
