Chiho's Time In The USA

A Couple Weeks Later

As Uzume and Antonio, with the rest of his Sekirei were outside, in front of the Inn saying their goodbyes to Chiho, as she was going to start living in America with Antonio's mother. As Antonio had called for a limo to escort her to the take off zone where his mother was waiting for her, Chiho had shared a light conversation with Uzume before pushing herself over to Antonio.

"Kanzaki-san, t-thank you so much for doing this for me, I-I don't know how I could ever repay you." As Antonio smiled at Chiho who was about to start crying, she suddenly stopped as Antonio had patted her head and smiled at her.

"You don't have to do anything. We are friends aren't we? I'm just glad I could help you when you really needed it Chiho-san. If I could, I would do it over again." As Chiho had looked up at him with amazement in her eyes, she then had told him to squat down so she could tell him something. As he had squatted down, Chiho then had threw her arms around his neck and softly kissed the side of his face. As all of Antonio's Sekirei had blushes come across their faces and Uzume's mouth had dropped as Chiho had turned to look at her.

"My, My Uzume-San, If you ever get tired, I won't have a problem if you give him to me." She had smiled before getting help for getting inside the limo. As she had waved to everybody, and blew Antonio a kiss, the limo had drove away from the Inn. 'Why, why did I do that?!' Thought a flustered Chiho as she was sitting back in the limo. She checked around to see that it was fully stocked with drinks and lite snacks for her until she reached her destination. She was really enjoying the fact that she's being in something she only saw in the magazines she read repeatedly while she was hospitalized.

"Excuse me Madam" Chiho started looking around until she looked forward so that she could see the back of the limo driver's head. "I hope you are enjoying your ride so far."

"Y-Yes I am thank you." Replied Chiho

"We will be arriving at the destination shortly." Chiho was surprised that the ride would be ending shortly.

Later

Chiho felt the limo stopped and heard the driver get out and open up the door for her. After setting up her wheelchair, Chiho couldn't help but notice that she was in a airfield and that a black and gold jet was waiting there.

"Heyyyyyy there!" Chiho had looked to see a young woman with white hair and eyes as blue as the crystal clear water. "You must be Chiho-chan? My name is Mizuki, Kanzaki Mizuki." Said Mizuki as she introduced herself as the driver wheeled her up close enough for them to speak.

"Eh? Kanzaki-sans haha (mother)? You look really young." Said Chiho, Mizuki gently clasped her hands against her cheek.

"Oh my, you are too kind!" Replied Mizuki. "Ara, don't you have any luggage with you?" Chiho respectively shook her head yes. "Well let's get that settled in for you, shall we?" Said Mizuki as she snapped her fingers together. Chiho had seen people in black suites heading towards the limo, getting Chiho's few luggages and placed them comfortably on the jet. Mizuki kindly helped Chiho get her way up the steps and inside the jet.

"Oh my!" Chiho had sparkles in her eyes as she seen the crisp, clean light brown carpet, the lush, mocha white, leather seats with a table sitting between them. Mizuki had guided Chiho to a seat as she had folded up her wheelchair and placed it behind her seat.

"Hehe, never been in a jet before?" Asked Mizuki.

"Before today, I've never been inside a limo either." Replied Chiho.

"We'll get comfy, because it'll be a long flight." Said Mizuki as she tilted her head and smiled. Hours and hours went by as they flew comfortably in Mizuki's private jet, enjoying casual lady talk until they landed in a different airspace with another limousine waiting for them. "Chiho-chan, I know you are a long ways away from Japan, but for the time you'll be here, welcome to America!"

"T-Thank you Mizuki-san. I'll be in your care for the time being." Said Chiho as she had received help getting off the jet, into the limo while Mizuki's help got her wheelchair off the jet, along with her luggage. "I-It seems that you own a lot of fancy vehicles and such."

"What these? Well maybe it was fate that these things became in my possession."Said Mizuki, causing Chiho to tilt her head in confusion. As Chiho and Mizuki entered another limousine, Chiho had received a bottled water from Mizuki as they felt the new limousine they were in start to move.

"If you don't mind me asking Mizuki-san, what state are we in?" Asked Chiho with confusion in her voice.

"A little place I like to call Kansas. Kansas City, Kansas, where me and my little boy called our 'new home'." Said Mizuki. As Chiho tilted her head at the sight of Mizuki dozing off. "Anyways I've prepared a relaxing and hopefully comfy room for you Chiho-chan." Said Mizuki with a smile as warm as the sun.

"Thank you very much." Said Chiho as she bowed her head, which caused Mizuki to giggle.

"Please raise your head." Said Mizuki. "You don't have to thank me or anything. Just try to focus on making a speedy recovery ok, Chiho-chan?" As Chiho nodded her head.

Mizuki's Home

"I'm Home!" Yelled Mizuki into the empty home as she had wheeled in Chiho to her and Antonio's American home which was a simple three bedroom, two full bath, kitchen and living room that has a mixture of western and japanese architecture. Chiho had seen the home Mizuki owned and was at a lost for words at how nice it looked. It was definitely a change of pace since she spent most of her in the same hospital that was owned by the Ashikabi of the East, Higa.

"What a beautiful home you have Mizuki-san." Said Chiho as she had felt Mizuki wheeling Chiho into the living room.

"Thank you for the kind words Chiho-chan." Replied Mizuki as she tilted her head and smiled. Chiho had then noticed that her luggage was being brought in by another group of men in black suits and had seen Mizuki waving towards them as they finished bringing in the last of her luggage and closed and locked the front door. "So Chiho-chan."

"H-Hai?" Replied Chiho.

"So how did you and my wonderful son meet anyhow? Im curious." Said Mizuki as she sat on her couch across from Chiho. Just the mere memory of their first encounter makes a small blush appear on Chiho's face.

[Play Song: Tender Feelings - Sword Art Online OST]

"W-Well, it all started when my best-friend came to visit me at the hospital I used to stay at." Replied Chiho. "She would always come by herself and spend a couple hours at a time with me."

"Oh?" Replied Mizuki as she was wanting to know more.

"It was just a regular ole day when I seen her walk into my room. We were conversing and that's when I saw him, Antonio." When she had spoken his name, Chiho had started to twiddle her fingers as she tried to speak. "It made me happy to know that Antonio became my second friend, ever."

"Hooooooooo?" Said Mizuki softly, causing Chiho to blush slighty.

"To know that Antonio had went to great lengths to do this for me, I don't think I could ever repay him for his kindness." Said Chiho.

"Well don't go looking to do something for him." Replied Mizuki, confusing Chiho.

"May I ask why not?" Asked Chiho.

"My adorable son has always been the type of person to never ask for anything on return. If it means he can help those in need, he'll gladly will without expecting something for his service." Replied Mizuki.

"And… That's why I think I will always be thankful to him." Said Chiho. "Just the mere thought of seeing Antonio once more, just makes me happy."

[Song END]

As the two lady's sat in silence, Chiho started to fidget around a bit, but when she had looked up, she bad seen Mizuki staring at her face.

"I-Is something wrong?" Asked Chiho as she had seen Mizuki rubbing her chin.

"Not at all, It's just that you are absolutely gorgeous." Said Mizuki. "My son sure knows how to pick em." When Mizuki said this, it caused Chiho's face to turn red and felt steam escape her ears. "Well I'll show you to the room you'll be staying in Chiho-chan." Said Mizuki as she got up and walked towards Chiho's wheelchair. "You'll be staying in the guest room, which is right across from my room so if you need anything, anything at all don't hesitate to ask."

"Thank you so much Mizuki-san." Replied Chiho as she felt Mizuki pushing her wheelchair towards the guest room that had a full sized bed, a nice flat screen TV, and a dresser that had more than enough drawers and a closet. Mizuki had left to bring in Chiho's luggage and sat her bags in a corner of the guest room.

"Rest up Chiho-chan." Said Mizuki, causing Chiho to look up at her. "You must be tired and as soon as you're ready, we will begin your treatment and physical therapy." As Chiho nodded her head, the two ladies had enjoyed the rest of the time together by having casual girl talk over tea, and meals. As time passed, Mizuki would help Chiho stand to see where her strength was at now and to see if it would grow with the medicine her son sent her the information to have created. The mother of Antonio had seen Chiho gradually getting better and better with standing on her own and walking as time went by but would still occasionally need her wheelchair, but nonetheless, Chiho was making a speedy recovery.

Sometime Later

"Oh my, you're going to make this young woman blush! Thank you Chiho-chan, the only other person who has gave me a compliment like that was my son." Said Mizuki.

"Anyone who taste your cooking should be able to tell that you're cooking skills are amazing!" Said Chiho. "Kanzaki-San is lucky being able to eat this all the time."

 "Hehe, well I'm glad you like my cooking." Said Mizuki before she had heard her doorbell ring. "Coming!" As Mizuki scurried to her front door, she had opened it to see the mailman had given her a brown envelope that needed her signature before it could be handed to her. After signing off on it and closing the door, she had quickly scanned who had sent her the documents. Her eyes went wide as she had seen the contents of what was inside. "Hehehe, Chiho-chan, we are celebrating today!"

"Ehh? Did something happen?" Asked Chiho, causing Mizuki to nod her head in agreement.

"Something more than amazing happened." Replied Mizuki, come on, we are having a girls night out and head out in the morning!" Said Mizuki, causing Chiho to tilt her head in confusion.

"Where to?" Asked Chiho, causing Mizuki to smirk.

"Where else? Your home in Japan." Replied Mizuki, causing Chiho's eyes to widen at the possibility at seeing Uzume and Antonio once more.

The Next Day

After landing at a private runway in Japan, Mizuki and Chiho had then entered the limousine that was waiting for them and when they were securely inside, the driver had begun to drive at the request of Mizuki.

"Are you nervous?" Asked Mizuki as she had seen Chiho twiddling her thumbs.

"Just a bit." Replied Chiho. "It's just that I hadn't seen Uzume and Antonio in a while, so I guess I'm having a fluttery feeling in my stomach."

"There's nothing to be nervous about." Said Mizuki. "I bet they'll be happy to see you once more, especially in your new condition."

"Yes, I suppose you are right Mizuki-san." Replied Chiho. She had then taken a deep breath to calm herself as they rode back to the Northern district of Shino Teito. As the limo slowed to a stop, Mizuki had exited the limo first and had got Chiho's wheelchair set up.

"You ready Chiho-chan?" Asked Mizuki. As she had seen Chiho nod her head, she had helped Chiho into her wheelchair and wheeled her to the front door of Maison Izumo.

'Stay calm Chiho.' Chiho thought to herself as she had prepared herself before knocking on the front door three times with Mizuki standing next to her.

"I'll get It!" Said Uzume as she rushed towards the front door. As she opened it, she had covered her mouth and was about to cry out a river of tears when Chiho had just returned to her.

"Hello Uzume-san, I see you still have what modesty you have left intact I suppose?" Chiho said jokingly.

"C-Chiho?!" Uzume said softly with a shock of surprise in her voice. "I-Is that really you?"

"Yes, this kind lady here took me In and helped nurse me back to good health. Uzume, this is Mizuki-san. Mizuki-san this is my friend I told you about, Uzume." Uzume had seen Mizuki standing next to her, who was wearing a sundress, from Uzume's perspective looked younger than her.

"Nursed you back to health? Not to be rude, but she looks younger than I." Hearing this made Mizuki happy.

"My, oh my, are you saying that I look younger than what my age is? That is very nice of you to say." Said Mizuki as a warm smile came across her face. Uzume couldn't believe the woman who was just about reaching her chest in height, with white hair, crystal blue eyes was actually older than what she had guess. Antonio heard alot of chatter going on in the hallway, so he decided to investigate.

"Oi Uzume, did you find out who that w.." As soon as Antonio stepped into the hallway and faced down the hall, he had dropped his phone, which had fell in slow motion.

"M-m-m-m-m-m….Mom!?" Uzume had quickly looked back and forth at the young woman then quickly looked back at Antonio as she couldn't believe that Antonio was her son.

"Hehehe hello son!"
