Welcome to the next chapter hehe~
RecklessBaka; Ooh thank you! And yeah, I never had the intention of taking Uzume away from Chiho. I was thinking either Uzume becoming winged by Chiho and still loving Makoto or her being winged to both of them somehow. Hey this is fanfiction after all hehe, anything's possible.
Anime PJ; That's Beni-hime for you~ Yup, Miya is scary as hell alright. But yeah, Makoto could call attempted rape on Homura hehe. Although Makoto would've most likely of loved being kissed by Homura.
Jugar38; Thank you very much. I hope that the winging was a good one. And thank you very much!
Akito the Overlord; Very soon, and I mean very soon. Hehe, don't worry, he'll appear soon.
Mr Beaver Buttington; Akitsu will have a moment soon, not this chapter, but soon she'll tell Makoto how she felt about it. It does seem like a popular idea. As for Karasuba...I guess its possible since she is like one of the strongest Sekirei, so I say she could.
Guest 1; Yup~ Uzume lover of the King of Shota's!
AngelofDeath666; Yea, it would be sheer awkward hehe. And sadly, I don't remember them. It was a few years ago now, and I can't remember the title of the story, if I did I would read it again. It was very good.
Guest 2; Sure, hehe.
Well, with that, its time to start the story again hehe!
Welcome home, and I love you!
Its been about a week since I got stabbed. I got stabbed by Karasuba, and now that she is out for me, I can't even relax. But it doesn't matter. Benitsubasa-san...Beni-hime as she likes me to call her, said she'll protect me. I am happy about that, but my stomach still hurts.
But today is a special day. Its a day that I can leave the hospital! I'm so excited! I can't wait to leave! But the doctors say that I have to do bed rest and the likes. Even though I feel fine, for the most part. I still have to stay in bed which sucks but I will just have to grit my teeth and let it heal.
I miss Onee-chan though. Uzume-san visits her, but it isn't the same as me visiting her. I want to see her, just to see her and see that she is okay with my own eyes. I want to see Onee-chan. I've not really seen her for ages now.
Uzume-san says she is fine though, and I will have to accept that because I can't see her properly. Although I don't know what I am going to tell her. This is the longest I've been without seeing her. I've talked to her on the phone, and we video called one another...I had to dress my top half of my body in normal clothes so I don't show her that I was injured.
She thankfully bought it...yes, she bought it I believe. I hope that she did anyway. I don't want Onee-chan to worry about me. I wish for Onee-chan to feel good about things. She...is someone I find really important. But seeing her through a screen and in person are completely different things. They are...they are different. I want to see Onee-chan with my own eyes. She always makes me feel better about everything...even when it should be me who is the one looking after her.
And if she finds out about me being stabbed...well, it wouldn't be good. She would flip and most likely vow blood vengeance against Karasuba because Onee-chan loves me very much and Onee-chan is a worrier after all. She doesn't need to worry about me, on top of her own worry about her own illness...yeah, her illness. I realized something during my attack. Mortality.
I realized my own mortality. I hadn't considered it before, but I...could've died that day. If I had died, then what would've happened to my Sekirei? I, can't believe that it happened at all.
I've upset Karasuba so much that she wants me dead. But I don't know what I've done to her. I haven't ever even met her before that day...I think anyway. She clearly knew me but I haven't ever met her. Or if I have, then I don't remember meeting her.
Although something good did come out of it. I...was able to wing Benitsubasa-san...Beni-hime as she likes it when we are alone. However, she told me that she doesn't want to be called Beni-hime when others are around, and I'm fine with that so I call her Benitsubasa-san.
"Hey, are you ready?"
Benitsubasa-san asked me. Everyone else is waiting downstairs for me. Unlike Onee-chan, I'm well enough to go home. Although I have to spend most of my time in bed. But I think I will ask Miya-san if its alright if I spend time in the living room instead? I would go out of my mind if I was to spend all day in my room.
"A-Ah, yes. I am ready."
I got into a wheelchair, and she got behind me. I feel so useless right now. Is this what Onee-chan feels like when she gets pushed around by me? Does she feel this useless? I know that my situation and hers are different, but I think I understand Onee-chan's situation more than I did before. If I feel like this now and this is only temporary...just what is she going to think all the time when I push her around?
"Then, lets go."
She pushed me out of the room after gathering my things. I'm lucky really. If this wasn't an MBI hospital, I don't think I would be alive right now. I got excited when I heard that Ashikabi's here get free medical care.
I thought that I would be able to get Onee-chan some care here. Like, a family Ashikabi care package or something. But that isn't the case. It doesn't work like that, which made me feel depressed. But...if Onee-chan had a Sekirei then...hmmm, if I could find Onee-chan a Sekirei...then she could also get the best medical treatment!
"Benitsubasa-san, can I ask you something?"
I looked upwards as we got to the lift. She pressed the button and replied to me.
"What?"
"D-Do you think that...if Onee-chan got a Sekirei...she would be able to receive free care from this...hospital?"
"Well, no doubt. She would be an Ashikabi, and MBI take care of the Ashikabi's, even if they make their Sekirei fight. Strange really isn't it?" I had to mentally agree with her here. Benitsubasa-san raises a finger to her chin. "The only way they wouldn't care for an Ashikabi, is if the Ashikabi is...well, lets say if the Ashikabi had wronged MBI, then they wouldn't receive the care. The same goes for the Sekirei...I believe. Yeah, if the Sekirei wronged MBI, then I doubt they would care for the Ashikabi. But this is hypothetical, yes?"
I nodded as the doors opened. Benitsubasa-san wheeled me inside.
"Of course. Onee-chan hasn't got a Sekirei. But if she had one...then I would be able to get her here and then...she would stay with me forever and ever."
Benitsubasa-san pressed the button for the ground floor, and the doors closed seconds later.
"You sure dream huh. First, you'd have to find a Sekirei for her. So, what she into? Boys? Girls? Both? ...Neither?"
That last one sounded a little...strange. B-But she's asking me what she likes!?
"I-I don't know! I've never asked her! Although...I don't know!"
Asking me something like that is bad! How am I meant to know what she likes. I think she likes girls...but I'm not so sure about that. She hasn't really ever told me what she looks for in a relationship, if she wants one at all that is. I suppose she does, but she doesn't talk about it with me.
It isn't like I wouldn't love her, if she did turn out to like girls or whatever. I've heard that people cover that up because they are afraid on how the family members would react. But I'm pretty open minded.
"Well, you'll have to know if you plan for her to wing a Sekirei. I mean, if you have the genes, then she will as well. Hey, give her No. 88 so I don't have to beat the living..."
"Benitsubasa-san." I scolded. "You can't say things like that about Musubi-san. She's a nice girl."
She grinds her teeth in an angry manner. It isn't my fault that she has a rivalry with Musubi-san. But Musubi-san keeps asking me to wing her, and when I try, Benitsubasa-san gets inbetween us, and makes her go away.
"She's not nice! That lost puppy dog personality of hers is an act! She is devious, I'm telling you!"
Hehe, yeah I don't think anyone can fake such things. I looked at Benitsubasa-san who has a proud smile on her face. I-I guess she takes this very seriously.
The door then opened again, and Benitsubasa-san stepped out, wheeling me. We continued walking, my case wheeling, and went all the way towards the exit. I've already gotten the medication that I'll need to take. Mostly painkillers and such. I am happy that I can go now.
Once making it outside, I saw my Sekirei Akitsu-san and Kuno-san, Musubi-san and Oriha-san. I also saw Haihane-san and Uzume-san. I believe that Miya-san said that she was busy but said she'd greet me joyfully when I get back home. The same for Kagari-san. I'm happy that they care so much.
But I don't see Nanami-san and Katsuragi-san. Where are they? I, don't know where they are, but the others don't seem to have a worried face on, so they must be fine. Nanami-san and Katsuragi-san...
I didn't know it before, because I thought that I was alone...but now I know that I'm not alone. I thought that once Onee-chan was gone, that would be it for me. It would be like I would just fade into the background...but its different now. I know now that I have people...people depending on me.
My Sekirei for one. If I die, then they die with me, literally. I didn't really realize the meaning of that, until I got stabbed. I...will have to find away for me to not get stabbed in the future.
"Hey Makoto-chan! Ready to depart this place?"
"Y...Yes, I am ready to go home."
"Then I'll push Makoto-sama!"
Musubi-san jumped over and tried to push me, but Benitsubasa-san pushed her away, clearly annoyed with Musubi-san. Musubi-san pouts and pushes Benitsubasa-san back!
"You are pushing him! He's MY Ashikabi! He isn't YOURS he is MINE!"
"Uwaaaah! But Makoto-sama said he'd wing me!"
"That's a fucking lie! I wont allow anyone else to be winged by him! Got it!?"
Haihane-san giggled at Benitsubasa-san who shot her a murderous glare. Haihane-san gave an innocent whistle at the pink haired Sekirei. Said Sekirei has turned her murderous glare towards Musubi-san again.
"Now, just go along and find some weird ass Ashikabi and go and do weird things to one another. Then again, do you even know what sex is melons?"
She does now Benitsubasa-san. She didn't know what it was called before but she does now. Musubi-san puts her hands to her huge chest, and releases a large breath. She then exclaims with huge happiness.
"I do know what it is! It is when a man and a woman who love each other very much come together! They strip off their clothes, and they embrace each other in a bed and share the love they have with one another!"
"Well done melons. You gave a good explanation of pure sex anyway. I'm sure that Makoto would like it rough~"
"Rough? Y-You intend to hurt Makoto-sama when you make love with him!? Benitsubasa-san! I-I can't allow you to hurt Makoto-sama like that!" Musubi-san thrusted out her fists, and got into a stance! Ooh not again! "I'm No. 88, Musubi! I challenge you for Makoto-sama!"
Ooh for the love of God! We haven't even left the hospital grounds yet! Benitsubasa-san, smirks and steps forward, pumping out her fists!
"Alright melons. I'm No. 105, Benitsubasa. Its time to settle this!"
Ooh fuck! This can't be right! Kuno-san came close to me, and smiled cutely.
"Hidaka-san...should I put them to sleep again?"
I smiled and nodded. Yeah, Kuno-san has the ability to do that, with her Norito. I think its like draining the energy out of them, therefore it makes them lose their will to stay awake, and they fall asleep.
"Y-Yes, if its fine with you?"
"Of course! Since Hidaka-san and I share a very special bond, my Norito is strong enough to effect these two here. Hidaka-san...I love Hidaka-san very much."
"I-I love you very much as well."
Kuno-san cupped my face, and came close to me. I raised my hand and stroked her face. Kuno-san came closer to me, and within a few seconds, our lips overlapped! Even though that this is pretty much public, its an MBI hospital so they shouldn't be worried about such things.
As soon as our lips locked, bright golden wings shoot out of the Sekirei crest of Kuno-sans. Kuno-sans kiss only lasts seconds, but it feels really good. She breaks away from me, and puts her hands in a prayer like stance.
"This is the song of my vow... Please light the path for my Ashikabi!"
A beautiful voice then comes from Kuno-san. She has directed that voice towards Benitsubasa-san and Musubi-san who are glaring at one another. As soon as the voice hits Benitsubasa-san and Musubi-san, their eyes roll back a little in their heads.
"This is Kuno-sans Fluffy Mellow Song!"
Kuno-san cries anime tears at my name for her song. Benitsubasa-san and Musubi-san fall to their knees and flutter their eyes.
"Ooh...not again..."
"Shit..."
DROP!
They both fall to the floor, and close their eyes, then open them, then close them again. They then start snoring after a few minutes! Yeah! That's Kuno-san alright! Our love makes it stronger than strong!
"Well..." Uzume-san sweatdrops. "That's one way to stop them. Ugh, I'm going to have to carry them, aren't I?"
"Muuu...Uzume-san...please, for me?"
She narrows her eyes in a playful manner, comes over and sits on my lap!
"Say, shall we have a ride in this wheelchair of yours?"
I splutter and look away with embarrassment. I-I can't think about such things right now! Akitsu-san comes over, and knocks off Uzume-san, and starts pushing me away!
"Ah...I will take Master home now."
Akitsu-san doesn't sound happy. Kuno-san rushes to join us as does Oriha-san and Haihane-san. I don't know what Haihane-san is going to do now. She...says that until she finds an Ashikabi, she'll be staying at Izumo Inn. Apparently, Miya-san is fine with it.
"Akitsu-san...where's Nanami-san and Katsuragi-san at?"
"Ah...they are preparing something."
"Preparing something?"
"Ah...I'm not at liberty to tell Master. I...apologize Master, but I...can't say anything about it."
She can't tell me? Akitsu-sans never kept anything from be before. I don't know what to do with that. Oriha-san, giggles and pats my head.
"I wouldn't worry about it Makoto-kun~ It isn't anything bad~"
"Ah...Oriha-san. Miya-san...said to not say anything about it."
Okay, clearly something is going on right now. Miya-san has done something now? Oriha-san bonks herself on the head and sticks out her tongue in a cute manner.
"Ara, it isn't like I said anything about it~ I just wanted to get rid of Makoto-kun's worries~ You know, he was stabbed by some psycho Sekirei~"
She doesn't even deny being a Sekirei now. But we haven't really talked about it. I think I'm evading the topic just as much as she is. I thought that she was my friend, a human. It doesn't matter that she's a Sekirei, as they are my friends as well. But I just feel like...she couldn't trust me with her secret. I'm not going to say anything negative about it...I think its wonderful.
If it wasn't for Oriha-san, then I would be dead because of the time that Musubi-san dropped me when we were escaping the lightning girls. Geez, I'm shocked I haven't ended up in hospital before now. I mean, I have been on constant attack, ever since I first winged Nanami-san. Will I ever get to enjoy my time with my Sekirei?
"B-But, Hidaka-san is fine now!"
Kuno-san chimed in. Oriha-san gave a slight nod.
"True~ He's fine now~ Well, he still needs to be careful though so he doesn't pull stitches or something~"
Yeah, I best be careful. I can't even really move that well. Haihane-san, from the side of me giggles perversely.
"Well well well~ Hidaka-san here wont be able to satisfy his girls for awhile~ Unless you're willing to ride him~"
I did a small spit take as Haihane-san giggles to herself perversely! P-Please don't jump to weird conclusions like that!
"Ah...I'll ride Master if he so desires."
"Akitsu-san!"
I cried out! She actually said something like that! I was shocked by her sudden saying. But when I looked up at Akitsu-san, she was looking down at me with a slight smile. Each time I see Akitsu-san smile, I blush. Its because Akitsu-san has a very beautiful smile.
"Ah...does Master not wish me to ride him?"
"W-Well...not when I'm like this!"
"Ah...afterwards then. I...understand. I shall...use my body to pleasure Master when he is well."
I face palmed at that, but Oriha-san pouted.
"Y-You can't Akitsu-san! I will pleasure Makoto-kun with my body! I-I might not have as big of a bust as you, but I can do things as well! Makoto-kun will be spent after we are to be with one another!"
I did another spit take as Haihane-san gives me a thumps up for some reason! She also has a sly smile on her face! What's that about!? Is she trying to get me laid or something for her own amusement...its about Benitsubasa-san, isn't it? Haihane-san loves torturing Benitsubasa-san so...I guess this is another way to torture her.
"B-But, Hidaka-san and I could have sex as weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell!"
Kuno-san screamed at Oriha-san who stuck out her tongue. Akitsu-san on the other hand doesn't look pleased. In fact, she looks like she is ready to murder those two girls!
"Well, if its sex, then Makoto-chan and I will do things together, if someone special allows it~"
Uzume-san, carrying Benitsubasa-san and Musubi-san in her veils, seductively says to me. She is dressed in something that's very revealing. I-I don't think I've ever seen something so revealing before!
I asked Uzume-san about it, and she told me that she is in fact a Sekirei. No. 10 in fact. I was shocked to say the least. When I asked if she had an Ashikabi, she said that she didn't but has her eyes on one. When I asked who, she said that she wouldn't tell me but she also added that she loves me a lot. I-I didn't know what kind of love she meant, but I found it sweet when she said that she'll always protect me, no matter the Ashikabi she has.
[Never!]
Akitsu-san, Kuno-san and Oriha-san denied her immediately. Haihane-san seems to be enjoying the show so to speak. The four girls are glaring at one another with such a hostile aura that it isn't even funny.
The fighting continued until we reached the Inn. At home, at last. Izumo Inn is my home. I love Izumo Inn, it really is my home. I hope to one day share my home with Onee-chan. We can live here together and have fun everyday...foolish of me. She can't get better...there's no way that anyone would be able to help her.
The ones that could, wouldn't do it without some ridiculously large bill, something I can't afford. If I could, I would be asking an MBI hospital to cure Onee-chan right now. I just...
"Well, we're home~ Lets go inside~"
Following Uzume-san, I'm wheeled in by Akitsu-san and followed by Kuno-san and Oriha-san. As soon as we stepped inside or wheeled inside in my case...
POP! POP! POP!
Poppers went off! Confetti, covers all of us!
[Welcome home!]
I'm greeted by Miya-san, Kagari-san, Nanami-san and Katsuragi-san. Akitsu-san, Kuno-san, Oriha-san, Haihane-san, Uzume-san and the newly awakened Musubi-san and Benitsubasa-san grab some party poppers as well, and let them off and join in with the others.
I was speechless. I couldn't speak at all. I raised a hand to my mouth in complete shock, as I looked upwards. There's a banner there, a red one at that. It says "Welcome Home Makoto!" with glitter around it and such.
"I-I..."
"My, we've shocked you for words~"
Miya-san raised a sleeve to her mouth, and let out a chortle. I thought that was kind of cute. Kagari-san steps forward with an embarrassed face.
"About this...we all thought that since...something tragic happened...we would throw a party of sorts. A, getting out of hospital, party. I...rather we, hope that the party is...well, I hope you like it." Kagari-san blinks, then waves her hands in front of her face rapidly. "I-I meant we all! N-Not just me! Hahahaha!"
She tried to play it off, but she was worried about me. I also remember in the hosptail as I was waking up. She was saying something weird to me. I only caught a little of it. But it was like "You made me feel like this." but I don't know the rest of the words she said.
I also remember how she was going to kiss me when I was asleep. I was shocked, confused but in a strange way, happy. Maybe its strange, but I felt like that something like that was bound to happen considering that we've been on...a number of dates now...
"I-I see...thank you! Thank you very much! Now, is there food because I'm really hungry and hospital food is horrid!"
Everyone laughed, and I was wheeled into the living room by Nanami-san. Once I got in there, I became shocked again. Because, there was lots of food on the table! All sorts of party foods, snacks, drinks, alcoholic drinks for the adults and there's also quite a number of decorations around the room.
"Hey, Makoto-sama. You know who made all this food?"
I shook my head. Was it her...Nanami-san?
"Who made it? You Nanami-san?"
"I wish I was this talented. No, the person who made all of this was Miya-san."
I looked at Miya-san in mild surprise. When noticing my look, Miya-san giggled.
"It wasn't anything really. Hidaka-san did go through something terrible, so it was the least I could do."
"T-Thank you Miya-san. I...I really appreciate all the hard work you've put into this."
Miya-san smiled as if nothing would bother her. She was...cheerful. I felt a cheerful feeling coming from her. However that was stopped when Uzume-san linked an arm around my neck, hugging me tightly.
"Enough yapping, and start partying!"
"O-Okay!"
So like that, the party begins!
...Some hours later, I was sat at the back of the room, sat on the floor as opposed to my wheelchair, just watching everyone having fun. Of course I'm having fun as well, watching the others is fun for me. I'm eating a sandwich Miya-san made for me personally. It tastes nice.
Uzume-san and Kuno-san were singing together, I'm pretty sure Uzume-san had something to drink that was alcoholic. Her face is really red, and she keeps sending me sultry winks. Kuno-san however has a really beautiful voice. It must be due to her Sekirei power. But it makes me feel good inside when hearing it. Even Uzume-sans voice is nothing to laugh at either. Its beautiful, just like her.
Benitsubasa-san and Haihane-san seem to be hogging the crisps and the drip that was near it, while laughing together. Its nice to see that they aren't fighting for a change. They can relax and just have a normal laugh with one another here. Although I doubt that they would fight with Miya-san present.
Miya-san and Kagari-san seem to be sharing a laugh while having some sake with one another. Well, they are that age so its fine for them to consume alcohol. When I asked, Miya-san played it off for a laugh. I was serious though...
Akitsu-san and Katsuragi-san fell asleep near me. They were tired, and they both have their bodies near me, whispering something about me being okay now. I must've scared them quite a lot huh. It is quite late but that's because we've been going for hours now. I'm not sure how many, but its been quite along time.
Nanami-san and Musubi-san are dancing with one another, t-their breasts jiggling around. I-Its too much for my innocent eyes! I-I can't take my eyes off of them though. Its like its hypnotizing me or something...
"Makoto-kun..."
I heard a small girly voice from next to me. When I looked, I saw that it was Oriha-san, looking at me with a smile.
"Hello Oriha-san. I've not seen you in awhile. What was you doing?"
"I was...I was working out something. Makoto-kun, is it okay if we go and talk with one another, privately?"
"S-Sure. But I can't really move or anything..."
Oriha-san came over, put her arms under my body and lifted me up.
"Its a perk of being a Sekirei~ We all are stronger than humans~ On how much stronger we are than humans...I guess it depends on the Sekirei. Lets go outside on the decking's."
I nodded, and she lifted me out of the room. We went out of the sliding doors, and she placed me on the decking's, sitting next to me. I looked at her, but she looked at the sky.
"Isn't it a lovely night Makoto-kun?"
"Y-Yeah, its really peaceful. Oriha-san..."
"Makoto-kun, do you hate me?"
She suddenly asked me something so stupid. Why would she think I would hate her? What would I hate her for?
"No. I don't hate you Oriha-san, I don't know why you said that. Unless...you've done something to me?"
"No, I haven't...well, I didn't do it intentionally. Makoto-kun, you obviously know that I'm a Sekirei. I am, a Sekirei. Nothing human about me. Makoto-kun...I lied to you when we first met. I said that I...well, I didn't tell you about me being a Sekirei."
"I-Its fine..."
"No it isn't fine!" She snapped at me. I blinked in surprise. Oriha-san, raised a hand to her face, and gained teary eyes. "I...I didn't want to lie to you. I...couldn't tell you why, I was in school. Makoto-kun, do you know the reason why I went to a school in the first place?"
"Because you want to learn?"
I dumbly said. Oriha-san giggled and shook her head. But I couldn't take my eyes off her own eyes. They are forming large tears...
"No, I wanted to find my Ashikabi. I, was looking for an Ashikabi who was a teenager. It might sound silly, but I didn't want an Ashikabi who was like way old like an old man or woman or something~ I wanted a nice, innocent boy as my Ashikabi. If I had reacted to a girl, then I would've been fine with it, but I was hoping that I would react to a male."
So that's the reason she went to a school huh. She wanted to find an Ashikabi that wasn't too old.
"But before I even went to the school we go to, I had already began having dreams about my Ashikabi. He was a boy, who wasn't as tall as others his age. But each time I dreamed about him, he was always smiling at me. Offering me something that no one has before. A kind hearted smile, one that's full of innocence and welcoming. An inviting smile that almost seemed to say "Please come and be with me forever and ever~" or something like that. When I told Taka...I told one of the employees at MBI, a friend of mine...she told me that she knew of someone who matched the description I gave her."
"A-And that was..."
"It was you of course Makoto-kun. I dreamt about you, every night. Every night in my dreams, we had fun with one another. We did the most glorious of things together. I realize that it was a dream, but the boy of my dreams is like the boy in reality."
"B-But, I don't understand why you didn't just tell me when we first met." That's when her tears overflowed from her eyes! S-Shit! I've done something stupid! "Oriha-san! I didn't mean to make you cry!"
"N-No, its fine Makoto-kun. You didn't do anything, it was me."
I tilted my head to the side in mild confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"Makoto-kun...when I first met you, I wanted to see what you was really like. I wanted to befriend you first, before getting winged by you and such. I wanted to...develop something meaningful, not something that was just a reaction from my Sekirei and your Ashikabi dna or whatever it is. But by doing that, I hurt you, right? I'm sure that you hate me because you think that...I just became friends with you because I reacted to you."
"W-Well..."
"You don't need to deny it. I remember you saying "Why did you choose to become a friend to someone like me?" When I heard that, my heart sank. I then remembered the reason why I was there in the first place. To get to know my Ashikabi-sama. T-That's unfair to you. W-When you thought you made a friend...it was just me reacting to you...I'm sorry that I played with your feelings like that...I'm a terrible person...Makoto-kun...I'm so sorry for..."
I grabbed her hand, and smiled at her.
"Its true. I thought that I had finally made a friend that wasn't a Sekirei. In my entire life, I've never had a true friend before Oriha-san. No one really ever talked to me. When my parents where alive, everyone resented the fact that my parents where richer than theirs. Then they died, and Onee-chan contracted this disease she had. People stayed away from me because they thought I would give them Onee-chan's disease. They said things like "You should've died with your parents!" and "Your Onee-sama surely is taking the slow way out isn't she?" and "Stay away from us! People die around you!" And its true. People do die around me...they even offered to send me to my parents at one point."
I felt tears in my eyes, that spilled down my face but Oriha-san hugged me very tightly while wiping the tears away. Yet she had tears flowing from her eyes as well.
"I-I'm so sorry that happened. They, shouldn't of done something like that. Its not your fault your parents had money, and your Onee-sama got this disease. They shouldn't of said those things. Its cruel what people can do and say."
"Y-Yeah, its cruel. Then I thought that I found someone to call friend. I thought I found a friend of my very own. Someone who didn't want me because they reacted to me..." She cried but I wiped them away. "...but Oriha-san. Its okay, you know? You did what very few Sekirei have done. You got to know me, because you wanted to know what I was like. You didn't just follow your bodies urges or whatever, you actually took time to get to know me. In many ways, you are my very best friend in the world."
"Makoto-kun...you don't hate me...? I lied to you..."
I bonked her on the top of the head which earned an "Ow!" from the girl. She rubbed the forming bump on her head.
"No dummy. I don't hate you at all. I like Oriha-san very much...no. I love Oriha-san very much. Oriha-san fought against Karasuba for me. Oriha-san saved me from the Musubi-san dropping. Oriha-san was worried about me, and made me lunches when I was in hospital. Oriha-san...you, are a very lovely girl. Don't ever think anything differently. You are nice, lovely, smart, beautiful and someone I love very much. So what you came to me because you reacted to me? You got to know me before even thinking about being winged by me. You, wanted to know me for me, not because we were bonded to one another. You don't have worry about it anymore Oriha-san."
"Ma...Makoto-kun. You are...so amazing, you know that. No matter what happens, you always have a kindness for everyone. You have love for everyone, and you don't discourage anyone. I find it hard to believe there's people out there that think its acceptable to hurt someone so amazing like you. So loving...Makoto-kun, I want to be with you forever. Even if I wasn't a Sekirei, I would've still fallen in love with you."
She placed a hand on my cheek. I placed a hand on her cheek as well.
"I fell in love with you before I knew you was a Sekirei, Oriha-san. I just didn't see it until now. If you...want to be my Sekirei...then I would be so honoured...I want to be with Oriha-san as well..."
"Makoto-kun..." She wrapped her arms around my neck, bringing me closer to her, I responded by also wrapping my arms around her neck. "...I love you, Makoto-kun. Never change. Always stay so sweet."
"You too. Never change. I, love you Oriha-san."
"I love you as well. No, I love you so much!"
"I love you more Oriha-san~"
I playfully said with a playful smirk. She returned the playful smirk with her own.
"I love you most~ Now kiss me, Makoto-kun."
"Y-Yes."
So Oriha-san and I leaned in to kiss one another. This is a little perfect. Oriha-san smiles, as our lips meet in the middle! I'm kissing Oriha-san, my friend...now my Sekirei...my lover.
Immediately into the kiss, bright wings come from her back. The bright pale looking wings spread out all over the garden, flapping wildly. I can feel the bond being formed between us. The love that Oriha-san has for me, is immense. Its just as much as the others have for me, and the same love I have for them.
Her wings disappear into the nights sky, but our loving kiss doesn't stop. It isn't a heated kiss, but its a kiss that could be called close to it. Its passion filled, exciting, enticing and amazing.
Oriha-san pulls away from me, and giggles.
"I'm No. 101, Oriha. At your service my Makoto-kun~" She then stood up and pointed her hands at the ground. Something formed at a shallow light washed over her. "These flying gears represent my pledge. Cut away the enemies before my Ashikabi!"
Lots of bladed discs appear as if out of nowhere, forming one huge platform. A circular platform. I looked at Oriha-san who picks me up, and jumps onto the platform.
"Lets go and see what the city looks like in the night, yeah?"
"Sure, I've always wanted to fly on these things since the first time."
"Then lets go!"
The platform hovered and, then shot into the air! But it wasn't so fast that I was going to fall off. I felt the wind hitting my face, as Oriha-san held me so close. We continued flying into the air, until we stopped two minutes later.
"Look, down there."
She pointed downwards, so I peered over the edge...and saw the cities lights dancing in all their glory. Its...so beautiful. All the lights just glittering there, like nothing is happening in the world.
"Makoto-kun, no matter what it takes, I will make sure we win the game, and bring happiness to all of the Sekirei in this game. We will bring happiness to everyone, together. And I will make you happy."
"Baka, you already have made me happy. Thank you Oriha-san, for loving me."
"Hehe, well you make it so easy you know~? Its nearly impossible to not love you~"
Oriha-san moved closer, and was about to kiss me, when something went past us! It shook the platform of discs we are on, but didn't break them. When I looked towards the things...
""HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!""
Someone cried for help! They descended to the ground then! Oriha-san giggled and made some hand motions.
"I guess we'll start with saving those two and bringing happiness to them~"
"Yup! Lets go Oriha-san!"
"Anything for my Ashikabi-sama!"
So Oriha-san and I went downwards in a burst of speed to save these new people! I hope we get there in time!
End chapter! Oriha became winged and Makoto shared a little of what people have done to him to Oriha! But who was the mysterious pair flying through the sky at night? Well, you'll have to wait until next chapter to find out! Also Kuno's a little stronger than she is in canon hehe evident by this chapter.
Damn, I didn't realize that Toyotama had become a favourite, despite being a villain in this. It seems quite a number want her to be revived and to be with Makoto. Well, I guess it would make for some moments between Makoto and Nanami when Toyotama reacts to him so...I think I will! But it wont be for a number of chapters yet. And you'll see another side to Toyotama that hasn't been shown yet. Well, until next time!
Makoto's flock; Nanami, Akitsu, Yashima, Kuno, Oriha, Katsuragi, Musubi, Homura, Miya, Benitsubasa, Toyotama.
Makoto's human lovers; Takami, Yukari.
