Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

Akito the Destroyer; Well, I am glad you like it! For that, I wont reveal just yet~ And yeah, I was thinking something like that.

Jugar38; No, don't worry about it. I'm just glad you reviewed last chapter! And I'm glad you loved it! And as always, thank you very much.

F14M3RZ; Yeah, I can see it going down like that anyway. And that's probably right about Itsuki.

Jose19; She isn't a Sekirei, she's the Ashikabi of Amebane, No. 13. And he, well he's weaker than Shiina in canon but has to be pretty strong to make it to the third round.

Mr Beaver Buttington; Yeah, in the future he surely will do things like that.

Hime; Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I will definitely consider it.

Blacklight; Hehe, I'm glad you like it. Yup, Miya is warming up to Makoto right now! And yeah, she sure is asking some questions alright. And more teasing will commence soon! Yeah, those two surely are teases alright. But for Takami to quit smoking...hehe, I'm sure she will for her Shota~ And thank you!

Sano; Thanks! And I will give it a read!

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, its time to start the story!


The unexpected Sekirei arrival

[10 years ago, Kamikura Island]

Miya P.O.V

"Geez, another trip around the island, how fun. I hope another invasion happens, that would be fun. Killing all those pray. My blade is getting hungry for blood."

Karasuba started complaining like always. Our mission, is to protect our brethren as they sleep. But she never takes that seriously. Well, it doesn't matter. I will take it seriously, for the sleeping birds.

"Karasuba-tan is getting testy like always~ You know, it isn't healthy to be always think about killing people~ Maybe Matsu should develop a drug so Karasuba-tan can focus on the task at hand. Or maybe a drug for you to be less homicidal~"

"Don't even think about meddling with drugs four eyed pervert. You'd invent something that would poison all of us, and then we would be done for."

"Baaaaaah~!" Matsu complained, glaring at Mutsu. "Don't call me "four eyed pervert" you baka moron person! You're jealous that Matsu can actually develop these things and you can't! Its like Mutsu-tan hates me because I'm smarter than he is!"

"Not so loud~ My head really hurts~"

"That's because you've been drinking none stop since last night."

I remarked, sighing to myself. Kazehana, that woman who always drinks. She looks at me and sticks out her tongue. I rolled my eyes and walked ahead of them. Sometimes, I feel like doing this myself. But they are fellow Sekirei, so I will grit my teeth and bare with it for now.

Kazehana appeared next to me, and wagged her finger at me.

"That's because I'm still trying to work out a plan to get my love to notice me~ Its the drink of love sake! Its the drink that will help me find my true love with Minaka-kun~"

That's disturbing. Why love a person like that? He's no good at all. Like Takehito-san said, he's annoying to a fault.

I pushed her finger away from me and pointed my own at her.

"May I remind you that we are on a mission? It might not be important to you, but it is to me. To protect the little birds, that's our role. We need to protect those children so they can have a bright future ahead of them."

"Miya, you're the leader and everything, but can you not go on and on about the 'little birds'? Its kind of annoying if you ask me."

I shook my head at the maniacal Sekirei. She really needs to stop with the attitude she has. One day, its going to get her into trouble, and then who knows what's going to happen. Especially if she annoys me much longer. But for Takehito-san, I shall bare with her behaviour for now.

But during that time, something caught my eye. At first I thought that it was one of Minaka's practical jokes or maybe even Takehito-san playing a funny game with me like he showed me once, but I was far off the money.

On the beach, in the sand getting washed by the water, was a...human. A small looking human at that with their head in the sand. From here, I can make our blonde hair and a yellow t-shirt and gray shorts...a boy. His head is in the sand...is he passed out? No, more like, why is he here in the first place?

"Hey Miya-tan, what're you looking at?"

I lazily pointed my finger to the small figure. Matsu followed my pointed finger, then gasped.

"A-A human child!"

"No way, a little boy has come to the island. Maybe he was brought here on the wings of destiny~"

"I don't think so drunkard. He must've been in an accident."

Mutsu made a good estimation. An accident huh. Perhaps by sea or plane? It would have to be one of them, although I hadn't heard of an accident being around here, and the last invasion was a number of weeks ago.

"Human? An invasion?"

Karasuba wondered, getting out her sword. Before she could act, I rested a hand on her hand and stopped her from doing reckless actions. She looked at me as I gently explained.

"Why would they send a human child if this was an invasion? It wouldn't make sense. That boy, couldn't be older than...4, yet you think he's a threat? If you do, then there's clearly something wrong with you."

She shot me a vile look, but I simply wasn't bothered. The child...why was he here? I became curious as we all rushed over to him. Once getting to the child, I took the boy in my arms and I gently held him close. From what I can see, his chest is still going up and down, there's no obvious wounds on him.

"Well, at least he's still breathing." I then gently shook the child. "Hello, please wake up little boy. Its time to wake up now."

I gently stroked the boys face. He looks quite adorable, sleeping like this.

I continued shaking the boy for a minute, before he began to stir. What a relief. I thought he wasn't going to wake up. His long eyelashes fluttered then he cracked open his eyes. I was met with a cute icy blue colour.

"Kaa-chan...?"

He thinks I'm his Kaa-chan? How sweet, he truly is a gem already.

I gave a chortle and shook my head.

"No, I'm not your Kaa-chan. I'm Sekirei...I'm Miya, its nice to meet you."

He looked around, clearly confused about what's happening. Even I would be if I had just woken up on a strange island like this. Especially being surrounded by...I wish Karasuba would put her sword away, he hasn't gotten anything on him, only his clothes. And what's he going to do? Throw his tiny fist at us and hope for the best? He can't do anything against us.

"Woooooooooooooow! He's so Darling! I wanna keep him! Hey, I'm Kazehana cute little boy! Say, do you want to become the unofficial child of Kamikura Island?"

Bang!

I tapped her on the head, and sent her to the ground. What a thing to ask a child. Yeah, wanna become a child of this island? You've only just woken up, but its fine if you want to become this islands child. What a thing.

But as I thought it, Matsu bent down and touched his forehead.

"Hmmmm, it seems you don't have a fever or anything. Hey! I'm Sekirei No. 02, Matsu! Its nice to meet you! What's your name?"

The boy tilted his head to the side in a perplexed state.

"Se...kirei? What's that? Is it some kind of name girls have?"

"Hehe, no. A Sekirei is...well, its something you don't have to worry about. But like, what happened little boy?"

"M-Mako's plane!" He jumped from my arms and ran around us, looking for something. "H-Hey erm...Mi...Miy...Mis...Mio...Mic...erm...Mi-chan! Can you tell Mako where he is right now? Mako needs to find his parents and w-we can go home t-together! P-Plane went crashy crash and erm...Mako doesn't remember rest. W-Where is here Mi-chan?"

Awww, that's so cute. He can't say Miya so he calls me Mi-chan...wait, is his name Mako then? What a cute name. Mako...hehe, such a strange child.

But his plane went...crash? He had a crash...and his parents...

"Erm, this place is called Kamikura Island. As for this plane, I can't tell you. But, what's your name? Is it Mako?"

"W-Well, Mako's name is of course Hidaka Makoto, Mako for short. Call me Mako Mi-chan! B-But where are Mako's parents? They said "Stay safe!" when the plane was going bang bang in the sky. Mako didn't know what that meant then everything went dark, and Mako ended up being on the beach with Mi-chan looking down at him as if he was in pain or something. Please tell Mako where his parents are. We have to go home and see Onee-chan who isn't well right now."

So his name is Hidaka Makoto huh, and Mako for short. But this plane crashed and he doesn't know what happened to it. And he has a sister, an Onee-chan who isn't well.

I bit my lip, fearing the worst as Matsu smiled at the child.

"Aah, I'm sure everything's okay. Say, Mako-tan, how old are you?"

"Mako is 7 years old!"

S-Seven!? I-I guessed four at most...ehehe, that's completely wrong huh.

"Whoa, seriously?"

Even Kazehana was shocked by it. Karasuba however hasn't stopped narrowing her eyes at the child. She better stop...if I'm right then...his parents might be...dead. There's a chance they survived like Mako...here, but in the worst case, this child has just become an orphan.

"Yup! But where is Kamikura Island? Is it near Shinto Teito? That's where Onee-chan is right now. I need to get back to her because she is very sick right now. She's got a bad condition and I need to go and make her days lively."

Shinto Teito...if I recall correctly, Takehito-san lives there as well. And this sister is really that ill huh. A bad condition...and on top of that he might've lost his parents...I truly don't envy this child right now.

"Erm, its kinda far. But I'm sure someone will be able to..."

"My, what a surprise. A child on the island."

Just as Matsu was talking, the voice of Minaka rang out throughout the area. When I dared to turn, I saw the man himself, inspecting the child. Instincts kicked in and I moved my body in front of the child. I don't want Minaka doing something strange to him.

"Aaaah~ Minaka-kun~ What a surprise~"

"Yeah...hello Kazehana. Miya, who's the child?"

When saying that to me, I sharpened my eyes. If he's thinking anything bad then he can leave the child alone. I will take him to Takehito-san and then we'll see what happens with him. But Minaka is not harming a hair on this child's head.

But before I could act, I felt a tiny flesh object in my own hand. I looked down and saw that Mako here has grabbed my hand and is holding on for dear life. I bent down, getting to his level and smiled.

"Its okay, I wont let him hurt you."

"Mi-chan...I wanna go home...that man is scaring me."

The child whimpered out, looking on the verge of tears. Something clicked inside of me, because on the next instant, I had my arms wrapped around him, pulling him close to my body. His body trembled, his eyes watering to a place that gave him a drowned rat look. I lifted him up, placing an arm under his legs so I could hold him to my hip.

"Shhhh, don't worry about him. I wont let him hurt you."

Mako smiled at me and gave me a tight hug. From the hug, my heart skipped a beat. I don't know what that was, him hugging me like that. I don't know what it is but...


[Present day]

Makoto P.O.V

Today is going to be a good day! It has to be! I'm going to go and see Onee-chan today. So I don't overwhelm Onee-chan with the amount of 'wives' I have, I'm only going to go with Oriha-san. The others seem to be busy anyway which is good as I encourage them to have a life as well. They don't have to follow me all of the time, they can have hobbies that interest them.

Like Kuno-san for example. She has taken up origami and frequently makes birds, tigers and other creatures out of paper. I must say that she has a talent for such things. Maybe Sekirei's are naturally gifted at other things as well...makes me kind of jealous hehe.

Benitsubasa-san trains with Musubi-san and Katsuragi-san on a daily basis now and that usually means training with Miya-san as well. I'm sure something about Miya-san is off if she can fight against Sekirei and still come out on top. But, those three girls of mine really do harmonize with one another quite well. While they don't always get along, they can work together effectively.

Akitsu-san has a new hobby as well. She presses flowers now, preserving their beauty. And she's also taken up drawing. She's very good at painting and drawing. Just the other day, she painted me, and I must say that it came out very well.

Nanami-san has taken up cooking as a hobby. She's quite the good little chef, and she's learning from Miya-san on how to cook different types of food. Nanami-san said that she's doing it to "learn how to be a better wife" but I think she has lots of fun being able to create new recipes which she usually gives to me, and I enjoy them very much.

Although, its a good thing they all aren't coming as Onee-chan already thinks I'm into polygamy and I can't just come out and say that I'm apart of some plan that involves space aliens.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like it would be good hehe. Plus I'm not sure she would believe me. She already must think awful things about me, not being there for her these past few weeks.

So that's why even though I'm still in pain, I need to go and see her. If she comments, then I will tell her the (somewhat) truth about it. I will tell her about me being stabbed and to see what she says. I don't want to add to her worries.

"What a nice day Makoto-kun~ I'm glad its just us~"

My singsong Sekirei beamed out at me, swinging our hands happily. Oriha-san is dressed in a maids outfit today. She said that that's her usual outfit, the one she wears to fight in. T-To be honest, I think she looks like a cute maid-san! She certainly has captured my young heart with her cuteness!

We've already left the house and are going towards Onee-chan's hospital. We had breakfast as usual, even being a Saturday however, Minato-san had to go to work. I felt bad for him, but Ku-chan is settling in fine with the other Sekirei. My Sekirei and his Sekirei get along with one another very well. No one yells at one another. Even Musubi-san and Benitsubasa-san haven't yelled at one another in a few days now. Its really refreshing...I wonder what's going on with them.

Since we are getting the bus this time, we are walking towards the bus stop.

We could walk, I'm not sure if my stomach can take it. I need to take it day by day and not pull any stitches or anything. Its wrong that it happens like that. I can't worry my Sekirei anymore. They have enough to worry about.

"It really is. Oriha-san, thank you for coming with me. I know that you're going to say its fine, I just feel guilty that I have to depend on my Sekirei again. I feel so bad about it. I...I just feel like I'm useless."

Oriha-san snuggled up to me, giving my cheek a gentle kiss.

"Nah~ Don't worry about it Makoto-kun~ I like spending alone time with my Ashikabi~ We don't get to do it much when we are with the others~ Say, after this, could we go out for chocolate milkshakes?"

She made a cute puppy dog expression with matching eyes. Iyaaaa! Don't do so many cute things all at once! She can't do it or my will power will be overturn and I will just have to give into her query!

"Y-Yes, of course we can go out for milkshakes."

"Yay~! I can't wait Makoto-kun! Say, where's Uzume-chan? Doesn't she usually go to see your Onee-sama everyday?"

I gave a nod as a response and smiled.

"That's right. Onee-chan and Uzume-san do spend lots of time together. I am glad that they are close. A friend for Onee-chan, a very good friend like Uzume-san is a good thing indeed. I think that she's gone ahead of us, with all the Sekirei jumping power and such. I'm sorry I'm making us take the slow way...I just can't stand the motion of jumping through the air."

"Nah~ its totally fine~ Say. I have an idea~ On the way back, why don't you Norito with me, I will create a platform from my discs and we can fly home like that~ Of course I will go high so no one will see us~ What do you think Makoto-kun~?"

Flying on her discs on the way home huh. Yeah, I can see us doing that. They don't move so much up and down and it isn't like it makes me feel sick or anything. It should be a good way to travel and as long as no one sees us, then we are going to be fine.

"Great idea Oriha-san! Is it okay for you though? You wont feel exhausted doing that?"

I gave a concerned look, but she simply smiled and shook her cute head.

"No~ I will be fine~ Since Makoto-kun is my Ashikabi, there's nothing I can't do~ I will even defeat single numbers should they come today~ But I'm sure they wont. This is just a visit for you to see your Onee-sama...about that though, are you okay with seeing her while still injured Makoto-kun?"

We got to the bus stop as she asked. I gave a slight nod and sat down. She sat next to me and placed her head on top of my own. I placed my head on her shoulder and kept a tight hold of her hand.

"I'm going to be okay with it. I can't keep hiding from Onee-chan. That's what I've been doing really. I was worried about facing her, adding to her worries all the time. I, just can't be a burden to her...but Uzume-san said that she's becoming increasingly worried about me...Onee-chan that is. She's worried about someone like me...it makes me feel guilty about not going. I'm truly a shameful Otouto..."

"Mouuu, please don't be sad Makoto-kun. Its unhealthy or something. You need to be happy like me! I'm always happy! But that's kind of a lie, since sometimes Makoto-kun scares me and gets hurt."

She held me tightly, wrapping her arms around my frame. I couldn't do anything but feel good about the embrace. And in that embrace, we stayed until the bus came. We got onto the bus and sat at the back, not once did her arms leave my frame.

"Oriha-san, do you like being my Sekirei?"

"Yup~"

She answers so honestly and fast. She truly doesn't have a deceitful thing about her. I'm sure that she is a goodie two shoes~ Ehehe, I could be called the same. I wrapped my arms around Oriha-san and brought her closer to me.

"Oriha-san...erm, do you have a dream?"

"Besides being with you forever and ever?" I gave a nod as a response. She looked out the window. "Well, I do have a little dream. That dream being, I want to see the world one day. I would love to go and see what the world has to offer. And I want to explore this world with my Ashikabi-sama, my Makoto-kun. I want to see what the world thinks of us Makoto-kun, you know? We could travel to Egypt to see the pyramids or something. We could do whatever we want and not be bound to some game."

I gave a bright smile. That does sound like Oriha-san. She would have a dream like that.

"That's a nice dream Oriha-san. And I want to make that a reality. Lets go and see the world together, after this damn game. After school, when I graduate, I will take a year or so off so we can explore the world and see what it has to offer us."

Oriha-san smiled, but it was a weak smile. Seeing that, I raised my eyebrows.

"Is something wrong Oriha-san?"

She nodded and pointed at me with a stern look on her face.

"Makoto-kun, you can't drop out for a year. I want Makoto-kun's dream of being a doctor to come true. I'm sure that Makoto-kun's hands are healing hands, they have a special quality to them. They know how to make people feel better again, and they never judge anyone. Your whole presence gives me a healing effect...and I'm sure that others would benefit from your loving nature as well. That's why, I'm always happy for you to wing other Sekirei, you know? The more Sekirei you have, the more I know that are loved and cherished."

I looked at Oriha-sans beautiful face and I saw a bright dazzling smile.

For her to say it, she doesn't mind? Is she, going to be serious right now? Or is she having a joke with me?

"Y-You don't mind if I wing other Sekirei's? That means you'll have to share me with others."

"I don't mind. I know Makoto-kun has enough love for all of us, the love Makoto-kun has for us is immense. It fills me up and it does the others as well. That's why, while the others might be jealous, I will accept it as I know that another one of my fellow Sekirei are with the best and cutest Ashikabi in the world!"

Her cute way of saying it made me feel good. She wants me to wing other Sekirei, and knows that I will still love her. That's a given anyway. I couldn't ever not love my Sekirei, because they...they gave me a reason...they gave me strength I didn't even know existed.

I brushed Oriha-sans lips with my fingers, and then brushed my own. She flushed but looked confused by it.

"W-What was that Makoto-kun?"

"Hehe, silly. Its an indirect kiss. Since if we kiss here, your wings will freak everyone out. And since I wanted to kiss you, I did the next best thing, I did a kiss that was indirect. Oriha-san, please don't ever change."

"Of course! I'll always be the same Oriha you know!"

"Hehe, I'm glad~"

I looked out the window, and saw people being happy on the streets. I'm glad, people can be like that. It makes a change to what I usually see with people hurting one another.

For the rest of the bus ride, Oriha-san and I just stayed peacefully quiet, not really doing anything other than enjoying one another's company. To say that I was having lots of real fun would be an understatement. Its the first time since getting stabbed that I've actually gone out of the Inn and not been feeling crap. I think my luck is turning upwards! Yes! Its definitely turning upwards right now!

Once the bus reached our destination, Oriha-san and I got off, of course holding one another's hands. It was...just peaceful, holding her hand. I couldn't get anymore closer...w-well, I could but I couldn't do that!


For five minutes nothing of interest happened. We continued enjoying the day and whatnot. Oriha-san made some comments about the weather and school and things like that. I made comments about seeing Onee-chan and other people like that.

But that all changed when we were walking by a nearby park...

"Tell me! I wanna hear it bitch! I want you to be for me to wing you slut!"

SLAP!

"Iyaaaaa! P-Please...I-I..."

SLAP!

A horrible sound rung out, several times. From the sound of it, someone was getting hit, and the voice was that of a young girl. She kept letting out yelps and a rough, gravelly voice was berating her. W-Whats going on?

I clenched my fist, in extreme anger. I hate when people take advantage of other people. If I'm right then a girl is getting hit...Its wrong, and unfair. I've had it most of my life, and when its me, its okay because I will deal. But when its others...

"Makoto-kun, I can feel your anger. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Even though saying that calmly, I can also feel her anger. She isn't happy about the current situation right now. She wants to help that person as well. Oriha-san and I are kinda similar in that regard, we want to help people and keep them safe, no matter what.

"I-I want to go and help this girl."

She drags me towards the park with a "Lets go baby!" I couldn't do anything but let my singsong Sekirei drag me towards the cries that ring out throughout this area. It was almost blood curdling cries...cries I've made before. And for someone else to be in a pain like I've been in before...it makes me feel very angry.

When getting to the place in the park...

"You stupid little bitch! Beg me whore!"

HIT!

"Iyaaa! I-I! Please s-stop! Y-You aren't m-my Ashikabi-sama!"

There were three people in the park. A young man, who looked a few years old than I who is wearing a green pullover with blue jeans. He looks like a total moron right now, having a cocky smirk on his face. To me, he looks like the evil type of person, someone I wouldn't want to get involved with.

The second person is a girl behind him, who has blonde hair that's tied into two buns with pink ribbons, one at either side of her hair. She has reddish eyes and she has what appears to be a chinese attire on. She's carrying a weapon...a javelin by the looks of things. She, is looking almost...lifeless. She doesn't even seem to be all there. Maybe...she's frightened or something. She...I feel sorry for her...

Then there was a girl, standing on her shaky legs before the young man. The girl has light brown hair, with blue ribbons woven through, and gray eyes that had a scared look in them. She is wearing a thigh high, tight white gown which shows off her impressive figure and black stockings as well as black gloves and a black choker around her neck as well. Beside her, is a large hammer, almost as if a cartoon character would use it.

In my opinion, she was very beautiful. But on her face, a mark was there. It was the size of a hand, and it was red, almost swollen. This man...has hit her? He has hit a woman? H-How dare he hit a woman...that's very disgusting...she looks so frightened right now...it makes me feel angry at this man who dares to lay a finger on a girl...

Wait, she said Ashikabi...I looked at Oriha-san who gave me an affirmative nod. This girl...is a Sekirei! Well, I should've guessed by the hammer really. No normal human would be able to carry one of those suckers around easily. And I'm guessing the girl behind the man is a Sekirei as well.

Even if she's a Sekirei, there's no reason to hit her. If he isn't her Ashikabi, then he isn't. He shouldn't hit her for denying him. I feel so pissed right now. If I had cool powers like my Sekirei, I would be using them right about now. I would use my strength to beat the shit out of him, use Akitsu-sans ice to freeze his nuts and shatter them, using Oriha-sans discs to cut him up and Nanami-sans spear to repeatedly stab him. Ooh if I only had those powers...

"You were sprouting shit about finding your Ashikabi, and I so happen to be one. See that girl behind me? She's my Sekirei as well. You say I'm not your Ashikabi, but that isn't for you to decide you ugly whore. Now get on your knees and beg for me to wing you!"

"I-I erm..."

She was interrupted by a fist to the face, sending her to the ground. From seeing that, my eyes widened in shock. He punched her in the face, and sent her to the ground. What cowardice...she's not even fighting back...

"Come you bitch! Beg for a winging!" He grabs her by the hair, grinning confidently and pulls her to her knees, then gropes her breast! "Say, "Wing me Ashikabi-sama and fuck me relentlessly!" Go on! Say it bitch!"

I couldn't take it anymore so I stormed over, Oriha-san following me.

"HEY! GET OFF HER RIGHT NOW YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

His eyes opened wide and looked around for my voice. When seeing me, he gave me a sneer.

"Now now little boy. Run along. This is where the big kids play, not children. You know, grownups? If you don't leave, then I will make it so you do leave you little brat!"

L-Little...? He called...me little...?

That's it, I'm not holding back!

"No! I don't think so! How dare you hit a girl you scum!?"

"I will do what I want with her." He stated, grinning more manically. "She's a Sekirei, and she needs an Ashikabi. I will be her Ashikabi, and make her become apart of my ever growing harem...ooh, is that a Sekirei beside you?"

He gave a lecherous grin towards Oriha-san who crossed her arms over her body and glared with such harshness. Its not surprising. I feel the same. How dare he look at Oriha-san like that?

"Don't look at her you piece of shit."

My tone was low, barely audible, but full of killing intent. The man smirked and gave a wild grin.

"What funniness. You, talking to your elders like that. The Sekirei plan isn't a game junior. For some reason, you've been blessed with a hot looking Sekirei. But, what if someone takes her away? Yeah, maybe my Sekirei shall kill yours right before your eyes. And after that's done, I will wing this bitch here and will be on our merry way. Because, she belongs to me."

"She belongs to no one!" I barked, glaring sharply. "She, is a beautiful Sekirei and a person as well. She has the right to choose who she wants to be with. I ran into someone who wings Sekirei by force not long ago. But unlike him, I don't see any redemption in you. And unlike you, he didn't hit a Sekirei. He didn't abuse one damn it! If you call yourself a man, then how can you lay your hands on a girl to begin with!? All you are is a fucking coward!"

I couldn't hold back anymore. I was yelling wildly, but full of conviction. Its people like him are amongst the worst. Killers, rapists and people who beat girls up for no reason other than they can. All of it makes me feel sick, and I can't let it happen before me.

The girl looked up at me, and her eyes went wide. I don't know if that's confusion or surprise. She...looks at me with those eyes, and I instantly want to protect her. She just looks so innocent...she only wants an Ashikabi yet this man is taking advantage of his status as an Ashikabi.

"Tch." The man snorted, and waved his hand. "Yuki will make quick work of your Sekirei then she'll come for you."

The girl behind him steps forward and bows her head.

"I'm No. 68, Yuki. And I'm going to terminate you for my Ashikabi-sama, Junichi-sama. Please prepare to fight."

Junichi, that must be the scum's name. Not that it matters or anything. I just feel bad for that Sekirei girl, Yuki-san. She looks devoid of life. It makes me wonder what he does to her. I...I don't want to think about it if I'm honest.

I looked at Oriha-san who bowed her head.

"Makoto-kun, want me to take care of her?"

"I...I feel bad about it, but please do."

She again bowed her head, and lifted her maids dress up as four discs float around her. Those discs, spin around as Oriha-san introduces herself.

"I'm No. 101, Oriha. Hidaka Makoto-kun is my Ashikabi who I so totally love~"

The girl looked a little shocked at how Oriha-san casually referred to me as "Makoto-kun" rather than "Makoto-sama" or some nonsense like that. I tell Musubi-san and Nanami-san that they don't have to call me "Makoto-sama" but they do and wont stop. But this is a Sekirei thing so I can't help but think that they love it really.

"Y...You speak to your Ashikabi so freely?"

Yuki-san asked Oriha-san who winked at me causing me to blush at her.

"But of course~ He's my Makoto-kun after all~ He might be my Ashikabi, but he's also my husband~! We are husband and wife, till death parts us~! I'm sorry your Ashikabi doesn't see it that way though...I hope he doesn't hit you as well."

Oriha-san sounded kind and caring, like she was trying to connect with the Sekirei. But the Sekirei looked away, and I could've sworn that a stray tear was in her eye. Oriha-san looked at me sadly, and I could feel her overwhelming sadness right now. Oriha-san...

"There's people like that out there Oriha-san, its wrong and even disgusting to think about, but there will be Ashikabi's out there who hit Sekirei, and even normal people who hit their wives or the wives hitting their husbands. It works both ways, and it shouldn't be like that, but we can't change that fact."

"I...I know, but it hurts me thinking this girl gets hit, and the other Sekirei looking like she wouldn't defend herself..." Oriha-san was in tears so, I gently rubbed her back. She smiled as some tears fell from her lovely eyes. "I'm glad Makoto-kun is so loving after all."

Hearing that from Oriha-san, the other girl with the giant hammer looks at me again, and then tilts her head to the side as if she's truly confused as the girl with the javelin and my Oriha-san start doing battle.

"...Why...?"

A ghost of a whisper left her lips. She was in a state of total shock. She didn't believe that I would help her. Just, what has this person done to her? Why would anyone make someone feel like this?

I gave a kind smile and directed it at the girl as Oriha-san threw her disc at the enemy, only for it to be parried.

"Because, you deserve to be with someone who will take care of you, treat you like precious. Someone, who wouldn't lay a finger on you like that. Someone who could only touch you in anyway with permission, not by force. I don't know what the full story is here, but that man hit you, and that's wrong by any standards. No matter the circumstances, a man should never lay a finger on a girl like that."

As the girls bottom lip quivered and her eyes began to water, I watched the battle between Sekirei's commence.

Oriha-san brought two of her discs up in the air and flanked the Sekirei girl. Said girl jumped and avoided the first disc coming at her. However the second disc travelled to the airborne Sekirei and cut her leg!

The Sekirei let out a cry, landing on the ground. Oriha-san spun on of her chakrams around on her finger, and threw it with lots of force towards Yuki-san. Yuki-san reacted and moved to the side, narrowly dodging it.

"Cutting Moon!"

Oriha-san announced, throwing one of her air cutting discs at the girl named Yuki-san. Yuki-san opened her eyes, and twirled her javelin very fast, knocking the projectile away from her.

"Yuki! Stop dragging your feet!"

Junichi spat out, displeased with Yuki-sans efforts. Yuki-san bowed her head as Junichi walked over to her.

"I'm sorry Junichi-sam-argh!"

Before my eyes, he hit her across the face, and then kicked her in the stomach, sending her to the ground! She spat up bile when she landed on the ground!

"You stupid worthless piece of shit!"

He kept kicking her, very ferociously. It was making my stomach churn, and I feel sick. I want to throw up, seeing this display. But he soon stopped and looked at the girl on the ground, the one with the hammer, and made a wide sadistic smirk.

"Yuki, fight harder you worthless bitch. I've got me a winging to do~"

Yuki-san stood up, and rushed Oriha-san after wiping her mouth. Oriha-san reacted and threw two discs at her, but Yuki-san knocked them away with no effort. When nearing Oriha-san, she made a stab with her sharpened javelin!

GIN!

Fortunately, Yuki-sans attack was parried by Oriha-sans chakram! Oriha-san jumped back, while throwing one of her discs at Yuki-san. Yuki-san moved to the left, avoiding the disc and jumped upwards.

Oriha-san followed her movements with her eyes, and threw two discs upwards. However, Yuki-san brought down her javelin, smacking away the chakrams with apparent ease.

While that was going on, I saw Junichi moving ever closer towards his target, towards the girl with the hammer.

"Come here sweetheart, lets make you mine!"

"I-I don't..."

The girl looked frightened. Possibly because of what she saw before with his own Sekirei, she doesn't want to be in a state like that again. She moved across the ground in an attempt to get away, however Junichi ran towards her, and gripped her by the hair!

"Don't move bitch! Lets seal this deal with a kiss."

"N-No!"

He moved closer with his head, as she tried pushing away. She clearly didn't want him to wing her. She looks so scared that it isn't even something I can look at. Being so frightened of someone like that...

Something snapped inside of me, and I ran over, pulling something from the bag on my shoulder. When nearing him, I pointed the object in my hands at Junichi that disgusting bastard and glared.

"Move away, or I will shoot you in the face!"

He jumped back, frightened of the 'gun' I was pointing at him. He released the girl from his grasp and held up his hands in defence, while slowly backing away. Oriha-san and Yuki-san look at me with wide eyes as does the girl with the hammer. Ehehe, I'm kinda scary right now huh~

"H-Hey now m-man, we don't n-need to go t-that far. I-If you k-kill me then y-you will b-be put in prison."

His voice was breaking, crackling with pure terror. As I expected, he's all talk but once faced with real 'danger' he becomes like a frightened mouse and tries to run away like the pathetic shit he really is.

I adopted a smile, totally hiding my anger towards this man.

"Well, it will be a good deal, getting trash off the earth. I don't mind doing jail time for you. The question is, do you want to die?"

I threatened, smirking like a maniac. His face was the picture of fear, nothing else could describe the way he looked right now. He was so afraid that I wouldn't be shocked if he would break down crying soon.

While he was hesitant, I looked at the girl on the ground.

"Erm...please come over to me. Y-You don't need to be afraid, I promise that I wont hit you. Y-You can go and find your true Ashikabi after everything here is settled. I promise you, Sekirei girl. He can't hurt you again, I wont let him."

The girl looked between me and Junichi. Junichi growled, frustrated at the fact that I was taking 'his' Sekirei away from him and attempted to move forward, but I cocked the 'gun' to the side, pointing it at his head.

"Are you sure you wanna risk it, bastard?"

Seeing and hearing that, he backed off. The corner of his eyes had tears in them, and his body was shaking slightly. I...didn't know I could scare people. This is news to me to be honest...but I want to instill the fear of me into this bastard. Hurting a Sekirei, is a no-no in my eyes.

"Y...You will keep...me safe?"

The girl, asked me with a fear look in her eyes.

I dispelled that fear with a small smile.

"That's right, Sekirei-san. I, wont let you get hurt. You're safe with me, promise."

The girl looked at me, and something was going on inside of her. She was most likely debating if I was telling the truth or not. I kept smiling truly at her, showing no hint of deception. She studied my face, looking for any deceit in my features, but found none.

In the end, seeing the better deal, she stood up, lifting her hammer casually over her shoulder and walked towards me. Once getting beside me, we both walked backwards, away from the fight at hand, and the bastard known as Junichi.

"Makoto-kun...I'm going to continue fighting, kay?"

I nodded at Oriha-san and kept glancing at Junichi. Yuki-san took up arms, and charged Oriha-san with speeds that I could barely follow with my eyes. Oriha-san is weak to Sekirei with close combat abilities, and she's good at fighting fist, kick, and full body contact types. I'm not sure about natural types like Sekirei's who use elements, but she's good with Sekirei that don't use weapons. Either way, it doesn't matter. My Oriha-san wont lose.

The Sekirei narrowed the distance, making wild slashes at Oriha-san. Oriha-san kept either dodging the slashing or using her chakrams to block the javelin. A javelin is usually used as a weapon that is thrown...can she throw the weapon as well?

Oriha-san sharpened her eyes, throwing two chakrams at her. Yuki-san moved right, dodging the first one, and knocked away the second one. But something Yuki-san didn't count for was Oriha-sans ability to control four of them.

Two of the chakrams appeared behind Yuki-san, spinning violently, heading towards Yuki-san. Before she could react, the chakrams span around her, and started cutting up her body!

CUT! CUT! CUT! CUT!

"Iyaaaaaa!"

Yuki-san let out cries, as Junichi clicked his tongue. It was at that time, I felt a nervous hand on my arm. When I looked, it was that girl...who was flushing. Her face was bright red, while looking at me in the eyes with her beautiful gray ones.

"I-Is something wrong...?"

When my voice slipped out of my mouth, her blush became more pronounced. She moved her hand down my arm, visibly shaking. She must still be frightened by it. Her eyes were watering, she was looking for my hand.

"Don't worry Sekirei-san." I grabbed her hand, holding it tightly and stroking it with my thumb. "I'm here Sekirei-san, you don't need to fear him. He wont touch you anymore. I don't know how long he was doing it for, but he can't do it anymore."

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

She burst out crying, hugging me very tightly! Her breasts were being pressed against my face, and I could feel the tips of her n-n-nipples becoming hard! B-But, the thing I notice the most is her body. Its really hot (I mean to touch not to look at although she is quite the beauty!). It feels really warm, really warm.

I reached up, stroking her face, knocking the tears away from her eyes. The tears, flowing like a waterfall. I couldn't bare a girl looking so sad, so I wrapped my arms around her, in a protective embrace.

Seeing that, Junichi released a howl!

"Yukiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Get your ass here! Take out that bitch Sekirei then her bastard Ashikabi!"

"Y-Yes Junichi-sama!"

Yuki-san, who's covered in some cuts, rushes towards Junichi. At the same time, Oriha-san came over to me, and looked at Junichi with disgust. Oriha-san had some cuts to her outfit, but otherwise she was fine.

GRAB!

"Iyaaaa!"

Junichi grabbed her roughly by the hair, and wrapped his arm around her, grabbing her right breast and squeezing it. At the same time, he forced his mouth over her own, shoving his tongue directly into her mouth!

At the same time, wings of a red nature spring forth from her Sekirei crest. They spread out, creating a luminescence around this entire park. If she wasn't an enemy, I would think that its beautiful...no, it is anyway. Very beautiful.

"Makoto-kun, will you Norito with me as well?"

Oriha-san asked me, looking at the pair doing the Norito. She then looked at me and beamed at me. I gently took her hand, and gave a giant nod.

"Y-Yes of course. Lets show them the power of our love."

"Y-Yes~! I love you Makoto-kun~!"

"I-I love you as well Oriha-san!"

While holding the girl with the hammer in my arms, Oriha-san took my face, and gently pressed her lips to my own lips. Almost immediately, Oriha-sans Sekirei crest reacted with the kiss and gave a glow which produced bright pale wings that flapped.

The girl with the hammer watches our kiss curiously, in a wondering look. Oriha-sans wings spread out, lighting this entire area up. If seen from the sky, I bet you'd see two huge flashes of light coming from us. I wonder, would that be a beautiful sight to see?

When Junichi finished kissing Yuki-san, he forced her away from him as if he is disgusted by her. Hmph, what a horrible excuse for a human being. At the same time, Oriha-san and I finished our kiss, as we both flushed.

"I'll finish this Makoto-kun."

"Y-Yes, please do."

Oriha-san walked towards the middle of the park as did Yuki-san. The Sekirei Yuki-san spun her javelin around, it glowing a dangerous red. That colour, was the same as her wings...so scary.

"This is the pledge of my javelin. Skewer the rivals of my Ashikabi!"

Oriha-sans gears span around ferociously and started forming a construct as she recited her chant.

"These flying gears represent my pledge. Cut away the enemies of my Ashikabi!"

Both Sekirei glared at one another. Oriha-sans flying chakrams have formed a chain like construct. All spinning wildly. Yuki-sans javelin has started to vibrate...as if it is cutting the air around it. C-Can it...cut through anything?

"Your opponent is No. 68, Yuki. Prepare to die by this attack! Javelin of Death!"

She threw the javelin at my Oriha-san who flipped her hair, and pointed her hands at the Sekirei girl with the javelin.

"And your opponent is No. 101, Oriha. Now, take this! Moon Slasher!"

She released the chakrams at the incoming javelin. They travelled, cutting the air as they both neared the middle. Its strong, these Norito attacks. I don't know what's going to happen when they meet in the middle...its hard to think about it.

GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!

The two weapons clashed against one another, and almost instantly, the chakram chain construct obliterated the javelin. Yuki-san opened her eyes wide as the chakrams continued moving towards her.

"I'm sorry about this, No. 68 Yuki-san."

Oriha-san sobbed out, as the chakram chain wrapped around Yuki-san. Yuki-san let out a painful screech as the chain practically ripped her to shreds. I couldn't look at the girl screaming but I had too...it wasn't her fault her Ashikabi was a bastard...I'm sorry Yuki-san.

The chain chakram shredded her clothes, and some of her flesh as well. It was like watching someone falling into a machine that's designed to cut up meat. Only this is cutting up the Sekirei.

Oriha-san clearly didn't like doing it as tears fell down her pretty face. I'm sorry Oriha-san, I didn't mean to make you do this. The light from Yuki-sans eyes left and her Sekirei symbol disappeared as she fell to the floor, deactivated.


Oriha-san walked over and shed tears as she petted Yuki-sans head.

"I'm so sorry, I know it must've hurt you. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you...I'm sorry your Ashikabi was...such a bad man. It wasn't your fault I know. Someday, you'll awaken, until then, sleep peacefully."

I walked over with the hammer girl still in my arms. I petted the back of Oriha-sans head softly, and gently kissed the top of her head. As I did that, the girl with the hammer kept giving me very curious looks. But before she could say anything, Junichi let out a cry.

"Y-Yuki! My Yuki!" He rushed over to Oriha-san and gripped her by the shirt. "Y-You bitch! What did you do to my Yuki!? How dare you hurt and terminate her!?"

I sharpened my eyes and pulled something out of my pocket. I switched it on, unlinked the girl with the hammer from me and rushed Junichi!

"GET OFF HER IDIOT!"

SHOCK!

"Bigagagagagagagagagagagagagaga!"

BANG!

I electrocuted the bastard with a taser who made unholy noises, and then kicked him away from Oriha-san. How dare he touch my Oriha-san like that? Bastard. No one touches my Sekirei and gets away with it. Maybe I should learn some fighting forms from my Sekirei so I can beat the crap out of Ashikabi's. Then again, having my gadgets to shock people will do for now.

"Are you okay Oriha-san? Did he hurt you? Its okay, please don't cry. I'm right here."

"Makoto-kun..."

Oriha-san let a hollow smile appear on her face as tears fell from her eyes so I hugged her tightly. I wiped away the tears, and held her so close.

"W-What are you two doing!?"

The man, Junichi spat out, standing up. I lazily regarded him for a second, before shaking my head.

"Oh, so you are still here huh. For someone who abuses his Sekirei, you don't even have a right to be here anymore. Please leave and I wont shock you again. You got off lightly."

"Tch, I own Yuki. I can do whatever I want with her. A nothing like you can tell me what do to with her. She's a piece of ass to me, a bitch that's worth nothing and only useful for screwing and fighting shit head Sekirei's like yours."

He spat at me like I was the one who was trash.

I sighed, and looked at him with lidded eyes.

"You are the worst, thinking about anyone like that. Its hard, thinking why you were born with the dna required to wing Sekirei. Clearly, some people shouldn't be allowed to be Ashikabi's, even if they have the dna."

"You..." He glared, and pulled something out of his pocket...a knife! "I will kill you!"

He rushed me and made a stab at me. But before Oriha-san or I could react, the Sekirei girl that remains nameless lifts her hammer, got between us and swings it towards Junichi.

"Don't touch him!"

BANG!

"ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!"

He flew into the air, and became like a twinkling star. W-Whoa, she totally just kicked his ass. What a thing, what an awesome hammer to have. She...amazing. And I don't even know her name. B-But, that was...iyaaa, he's like...

""He's blasting off agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain~!""

Oriha-san and I giggled, then pointed at one another.

""Pokemon reference! Hahahahaha~!""

We chuckled to one another, and then Oriha-san looked at me with a slanted head.

"Say before, what was that gun? Do you keep guns now Makoto-kun?"

I took the 'gun' and pointed it at her. She became shocked as I pulled the trigger!

"Iyaaaa! Its a water gun!?"

"Hahaha! Yes, its only a water gun Oriha-san! I wouldn't carry a real gun! It looks convincing and it certainly convinced that jerk didn't it?"

"Hehehehe~ Makoto-kun~ That was funny~ Hahahaha!"

Oriha-san laughed and it became infectious so I started to laugh as well. As we laughed together, the girl with the hammer walked over and looked at me with bated breath. She took my hand, and held it tightly.

"I..."

"Thank you for saving me!" I cut her off, beaming away. "You really did a number on that guy. Just as he deserved. I'm...sorry he hit you, how are you feeling?"

I touched her face where the mark is, she winced. It must still hurt, where he hit her. The girl, put her hands on my chest, and leaned down slightly, coming into line with my face.

"Y...You said that...I was safe with you..."

"Y-Yes, of course you'll be safe with me. I wont let anyone hurt you, and I will help you find your Ashikabi if you want?"

"I...I...I am...I don't need to find...my Ashikabi-sama...because I already have."

Eh? She's found her Ashikabi-sama? There's...only me around...is she talking about me!?

Fall!

She pushed me down onto the floor, and crawled on top of my body, her body being pressed against my own. Her body is heating up and is hot to touch. Her skin was turning red, and her eyes are flickering as she panted heavily.

The girl reaches her hand up my body, and touches my face. I'm lost for words. If I'm getting this meaning, then I think she wants me to be her Ashikabi. I don't even know her name and she is...g-going to kiss me...

"You...are the one...I want to be with..."

Her eyes were pleading. I haven't seen something like this. She really wants me to become her Ashikabi. She touched my face, and moved closer to my lips with her own. She's going to wing herself right here and now...no, she stopped just before touching my lips, as tears formed in her eyes.

"...Will you wing me, Ashikabi-sama?"

Ashikabi-sama...no, that's not right...

"My name is Hidaka Makoto, not Ashikabi-sama. What's your name?"

"My name is No. 84, Yashima, Makoto-sama."

Yashima-san...that's a beautiful name. It rolls off the tongue well. Its a cute name matching a cute girl.

"I...Yashima-san...I will keep you safe."

"Makoto-sama..."

I slowed wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her closer and giving her a reassuring smile. I'm sure the other Sekirei will kill me later for this but I simply can't refuse someone like this.

Yashima-san took that as an initiative and pressed her sweet lips to my own. My eyes widened as she slipped her tongue into my mouth! S-She's really going full force huh! I didn't expect such a thing...

Her Sekirei crest lit up, a bright blue colour and then her wings started to come out. The huge appendages shot out from the crest, and extended towards the sky, flapping as they went along.

The light from her wings brightened up the entire park. It is really beautiful, how they are doing that. I couldn't take my eyes off the light wings. Yashima-san didn't pay attention to the winging as her tongue kept wrapping around my own! I-I seriously hope she doesn't try anything in the park, like s-s-sexual things!

Eventually, her wings stopped, and she broke the kiss, a light blush dusting her cheeks as she sat up, straddling my hips! D-Does she have to sit right there!? I can feel the soft firm buttocks on my t-thingy! D-Don't get turned on! Don't get turned on! Don't get turned on for the love of God! Makoto don't get turned on!

My face flushed and I looked into her beautiful eyes.

"I am Sekirei No. 84, Yashima. At your service Ashikabi-sama...aah, Makoto-sama."

I sat up, and gave Yashima-san a hug. She was shocked by the sudden contact, but soon hugged me back tightly. Yashima-san...I will protect Yashima-san from now on as she protected me.

"Makoto-sama...I'm glad I married you."

I smiled at Yashima-san and we continued to embrace one another.

"Makoto-kun got a new Sekirei...and MBI is coming..."

MBI...helicopters...they are coming for the Sekirei Oriha-san terminated...crap!

"I need to go and see Onee-chan now! I'm laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!"

They both tilted their heads at me! No, I'm so late right now! Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
