*OMAKE*
The night was dark and cool. The moon was full, but the streets were covered in a dense fog. It was probably a good thing, because it covered the action from the nearby battle. There was a flash of brown and purple, and Kazehana reappeared at Duke's side.
"Duke-kun, would you mind giving me a kiss for luck?" she asked flirtatiously. Duke graciously complied, prompting the wind-wielder's glowing wings to emerge. As the fog slightly cleared, it revealed all of the damage that had been done. It almost seemed as though a hurricane had come through, whipping around cars, street signs, and other debris. The worst of the damage though, was very strange. It looked like a large part of the area had rotted and decayed, as though HUGE amounts of time had passed in those specific locations, which were now aged far beyond the rest of the world.
Two figures slowly walked toward them. One was a young man with silver hair, with a somber expression. It was obvious he didn't enjoy what he was good at. The other was a brash young girl, still enraged over the cruel deeds Duke had performed since he had arrived in Japan.
Kazehana gave Duke a wink, and tilted her head to the left, and the two sekirei took off, hoping to avoid involving their masters. As the young, silver-haired Shiina drew nearer, Kazehana hid a smirk. He darted near enough to use his powers without Kazehana possibly being able to escape, cornering her. "I'm sorry it has to be this way," he said, with that somber look on his face.
"That's what you think," Kazehana replied. "Wind of my contract, blow away the dark clouds on my Ashikabi's horizon with unrelenting force! FUS RO DAH!" A huge blast of wind tunneled from Kazehana's mouth, launching Shiina two blocks away.
Yukari, in the meantime had strode right up to Duke, looking him in the eye. "So, you think you can just run around hurting people and Sekirei for no good reason?" she exclaimed, outraged. Duke ignored her and watched the exchange between Kazehana and Shiina instead. "Hey, don't ignore me!" She yanked her leg back as far as it would go, and delivered a kick directly to Duke's crotch. "OWWWWWWWWW! OW! OW! OW! What the heck was that?"
Duke looked over to see Yukari rolling on the ground holding her foot. He smirked and took his cigar out of his mouth and replied, "I've got balls of STEEL."

AN: Hey, readers. I'm sorry I've been so long without a post, but you know how life gets busy at terribly inopportune times. I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm not dead, and do have plans in motion for continuing the story. I've had this little scenario in my mind for a while, so I figured I'd post it to tide over those who've been enjoying the story thus far.
