And I have another chapter coming out. I feel really motivated to write this, so I'm trying to get these out as quickly as possible. Only got two reviews this time. Still, that is an improvement from last time.

Bobainox: Wow, that is a lot of Sekirei for you ask me to use. But I'm only thinking about Yuuto having around 6 to 10 Sekirei, as I feel that if I do too much then he won't get to spend much time with the other Sekirei. I'm thankful that you like this story so far, and you like Akitsu as a character.

Raidentensho: Thanks for reading, glad you like how things are going so far. And I think I agree with you, I was thinking about adding Yashima, because no one deserves what she's been through with her Ashikabi. But I don't really think Kazehana and Kaho would work out too well. Kazenhana usually likes to mess around with people and drink a lot of booze, which Yuuto would probably find uncomfortable. As for Kaho, I think she already loves the Ashikabi that she has, so I don't think it would be possible for her to switch.

Also, with the first question, do you want me to release a list with what Sekirei I'm thinking about adding? Or should I just keep it a secret for now? Anyways, as for this chapter, Yuuto and Akitsu spend the day together...while other events begin to happen.

Sekirei Snatcher

Chapter 3: Messages

Yuuto woke to the bright sun in the sky, which made him yawn. He looked around and see that everything was still how it was when he left it. Then he sighed.

It must have been a dream then. I couldn't have kissed a girl who has special powers. I'm not actually in a death game, and that's certainly not my arms...wait.

Yuuto looked over his shoulder and saw a sleeping Akistu holding Yuuto around his waist. Yuuto chuckled a bit. To be honest, he didn't mind this. It wasn't so bad in this position. He really wanted to stay like this all day if he could. But he needed to get started on his laundry and he also needed to get some new clothes for Akistu.

So, Yuuto slowly did his best not to wake Akistu by slowly trying to take her arms off his torso. But he was surprised that it wouldn't let go. Yuuto tried a little harder now, but the grip wouldn't go.

Guess she is a lot stronger than I give her credit for. So, I just need to-

Then the doorbell rang. Yuuto was surprised that he had a visitor. But it did enough to make Akistu loosen her grip enough that Yuuto was able to break free. He quickly got a dark blue t-shirt on and some blue jeans and went over to open the door. Once he opened it, he saw a man with a black suit on standing in front of him. Yuuto noticed the MBI logo on his right chest. He didn't say anything, but he took out an MBI card and handed it to him.

"Um...thanks?" Yuuto asked.

The guy nodded his head, and then he walked away. Yuuto was glad that the conversation never went any further, as he was afraid of what he might have said to provoke the guy. But then he remembered that he had laundry to get to and he went back inside and used his arm to carry the hamper over his shoulder as he made his way out of the apartment. But then he realized that Akistu might not have known where he went off to. So, he grabbed a post it note, and wrote a quick message about where he was off to and put it on the lamp next to where Akistu was sleeping. Then, he exited the apartment and locked the door behind him. Thankfully, a dryer and washer were right near where he lived. It only took him about a minute before he was at the washer. He put all his clothes in the washer, since he usually only wore dark clothes.

He knew it was going to take quite a bit, so he looked at his phone to see if there was any news on. He saw that there was something that happened at the park, and that their seemed to be a large animal that might have caused it. But Yuuto knew better. He knew Mutsu was the one that caused the large crack in the ground. But the general public probably didn't know any better. MBI probably skewed the news outlet so it wouldn't like it was caused by anything other than the Sekirei's. After he turned his phone off, he saw a woman coming to where he was.

Yuuto had to blush a bit at the way the woman looked. She had long blonde hair that went down to her upper back, with the hair covering her left eye. She had on purple dress with a white blouse underneath. She was around the same height as Yuuto, but he saw the blank expression that was on her face. It was like the one he saw on Akistu, but this one seemed slightly more friendly than the dark one he got from Akistu. When she walked over, she seemed to look Yuuto in the eyes, but she seemed flustered when she saw him.

"You doing laundry as well?" Yuuto asked.

"Yes...I am. It seems like you are in the process. Mind if I wait?"

"Go right ahead. I'm in no rush."

Yuuto was surprised when the woman walked over next to Yuuto and leaned on the wall like he was. Yuuto was a little nervous about why she was so close, but he didn't really want to say anything. There was a stretch of silence. After what seemed like forever, the woman finally spoke up.

"If you're curious, my name is Nina."

"Name's Yuuto. Nice to meet you...anyways, I was wondering, are you living here?" Yuuto asked.

"No, I'm right across the street. This is just the closest place to do laundry...by the way, are you a virgin." Nina asked.

Yuuto's eyes suddenly bulged a bit when she said that.

She is blunt I'll give her that. Should I be honest with her?

"No, I mean, uh, yes, uh...what I meant to say is-"

Fuck you brain. FUCK YOU!

Yuuto saw Nina's face curl into a slight smile, as she leaned over and gave Yuuto a peck on the cheek. Yuuto's face suddenly turned a crimson red. Yuuto didn't know what to say as the two continued to look in each other's faces.

"No... not yet. I'll wait a little longer...just to see if what I'm feeling is true."

After that, Nina went back to leaning against the wall next to Yuuto and both of them were quiet for a little bit longer.

1 hour later...

Yuuto finally finished all of his laundry and was about to head out before he felt something being slipped inside his back pocket. He turned around and saw Nina waving goodbye as she began her laundry as well. As Yuuto was heading back to his apartment, he saw the paper slip that he had given.

Call me if you can. Nina.

What was strange was that it didn't just include the number. It also had a number on it, 27, which was written on the bottom left side of the paper.

Wait...does that mean...no, I must be overthinking things. She can't be a Sekirei. She wasn't with her Ashikabi...unless she doesn't have an Ashikabi yet...then that means...brain, stop it. This is just a coincidence. And Besides, she wasn't reacting the same way as Akistu was.

Yuuto didn't notice that as he was walking back into his apartment, that Nina was beginning to breath hard, and that her face had turned a shade of red. Once he was in, he noticed that Akistu was just starting to get up and looked up longingly at Yuuto. She got out of bed, and Yuuto had to turn away because she was still naked.

"Master, it is good to see you slept well."

"It's Yuuto. But I appreciate your thanks. Anyways, could you get dressed? I was thinking about getting you some new clothes since I don't think wearing will get us anywhere...it will just cause people to notice us. Oh, right."

Yuuto went through his hamper and got out Akitsu's clothes that she wore last night.

"I washed them for you so there wouldn't be any blood on them. Once your dressed, we can walk to the mall together."

Yuuto held out his hand with Akitsu's clothes and she grabbed them. Yuuto waited for a bit while she got dressed, and after a few minutes, he stopped hearing her move, so he turned around to look at her, and instead got placed into a hug, with his head going straight into her chest.

"Master...I don't think I've ever had someone...be so...nice to me. I was never shown love where I was raised...but...you are different."

Yuuto face should have gone red since his whole head was on a woman's chest, but his heart strings had been pulled. He had understood what she had meant by that statement. True, his former high school friends were good to him...but he honestly never felt that close to them, since they couldn't understand what he had been through his whole life.

But she completely understands me. I hope we can continue to build up this relationship more and more.

"Um, hfmp"

Yuuto was let go by Akistu, and he finally got a breath in. Yuuto then took a couple of seconds to get his bearings back, before he held out his out.

"Shall we?"

Akitsu face turned a slight shade of pink, as she took Yuuto's hand. Then, the two of them walked out of the apartment to the mall.

At a Hotel...

A young woman was sleeping on a comfortable bed, not paying mind to much around her, until she woke with a sudden kick to the bed. She jumped up furiously to see who woke her from her slumber but found out that it was only Mikogami. The woman then looked at Mikogami seductively.

"Oh, Miko, I didn't know you wanted to be so rough with me today...but I'll allow it just because it's you."

"Yomi, I don't want to hear it. The only reason I've come for you is that were going out. I want us to search for some Sekirei, and you're the only one that is available right now. So, you're coming with me...and don't you dare fucking mess up."

Yomi was slightly hurt by that comment. She was always trying to do her best to impress Mikogami, and she wanted to physically be with him...but he wasn't taking any of his advances at all. He was being a total jerk to her, but she didn't mind. If he continues to count on her, she didn't mind the words he used. Besides, any place they would go would probably be better than just in the hotel right now.

"So Miko, where are heading out to? Someplace romantic? Or maybe a love hotel for your enjoyment."

"We're heading to the park. I wanna catch that Yuuto and No.7 while their out. I'm sure their heading back to the park. If not, then maybe we'll find another Sekirei."

Yomi sighed a bit. She thought that Mikogami viewed her as a number more than anything else. She just wanted to have some fun, and Mikogami wasn't giving her that. She still didn't mind the way he looked at her sometimes...she just wished something...different would happen. But she didn't say anything as she and Mikogami headed out of the hotel towards the park.

At MBI headquarters...

Takami was still exhausted from yesterday. She was still wondering how Akitsu had bonded with Yuuto, but she shouldn't be that concerned about that. She was still worried about Minato, since her own son was a part of the plan. She had called him in the morning to see how he had been holding up. Thankfully, even though he had gotten evicted from his apartment, he and his Sekirei had found a place called Izumi Inn. Hopefully he will like the place, and she knew that nothing was going to happen as long as the housekeeper was there.

But she was now worried with one thing now...taking care of Kusano. She was Sekirei No.108, the last of the Sekirei that was supposed to be released. But she had not been let out yet because the scientists their wanted to run some more tests on her to try and lower her powers the best that they could. But she felt that Kusano needed a break. She figured that she would go up to her and asked if she wanted to go for a walk. So, she got up out of her chair in her room and made her way to one of the examination rooms. She walked past a couple before she found the room numbered 108. She knocked on the door before she entered the room.

Once she entered, she saw Kusano situated on an examination table, sitting down patiently. Takami smiled when Kusano saw her and got off the table and ran over to hug her. She then patted her head, as she heard her grumbling a bit.

"Is something the matter Kusano?" Takami asked.

"I really want to find my big brother...I think he's close by, but I don't know where he is...I miss him so much." Kusano said.

"Hey, shh, don't worry. I'm sure you'll find him eventually. Now, I think we need to take you out. You've been couped up in here for so long... what do you want to do?"

Takami saw Kusano thinking about what to do for a couple of seconds as Kusano looked on thoughtfully.

"Do...you think we can...look at the park?" Kusano asked.

"Of course, you can. I'll take you their myself."

So, Takami grabbed onto Kusano's arm, and the two of them were off.

At the mall...

Yuuto and Akitsu had arrived at the mall after a pretty long walk. Yuuto was actually a little jealous that Akistu was getting looked at by the other guys around him, since he was slowly starting to become attached to Akistu. He had some similar experinces to Akistu, but he didn't know when he was going to be able to be honest with her. But right, he just wanted to focus on getting the right clothes for her. Once the two were inside, He led the way to the second floor of the mall, where the clothing store for women was. Yuuto looked to Akistu to see she was a little worried about something.

"What's up?" Yuuto asked.

"Master...do you know if this is alright?" Akistu said.

"What, getting new clothes? Of course, I'm okay with that. I think you would look better in a Kimono anyways than what you are wearing right now. I can help you look if you want."

"...That would be great master."

"Yuuto."

Yuuto held out his hand for Akistu, and she took it. Yuuto saw her face go pink again as the two looked around the store for the right outfit. Yuuto noticed that Akistu seemed to be looking more towards Yuuto than at the Kimono's themselves.

I swear it's like she's constantly thinking about me at this point...which is kind of weird, but also strangely kinky. I don't know if I like this or not.

Yuuto then noticed Akistu look at two Kimono's, one black Kimono with multiple red fishes lined on it, and a blue Kimono with snowflakes lined on it.

"So, you like those two? Alright, why don't you try them on." Yuuto said.

"As you wish master." Akistu said.

Yuuto knew he didn't word it right as she began to take off her outfit.

"NO! Not...here. I meant in the changing rooms. Um...here, I'll show you."

Yuuto, face turning red, grabbed the two Kimono's and led Akistu to the changing rooms. Once there, he hung the two Kimono's up, and Akistu went in and began to take her clothes off again.

"Akitsu...you can pull the curtains to the side."

Akitsu nodded and did as Yuuto said. Yuuto then sighed after that.

Man, that was tough. At least she is cute when she does that. Anyways, might as well wait and see how she looks.

He knew he didn't have to wait long, so he decided to take a seat on one of the chairs that was situated near the changing rooms. He sat there for a minute or so before Akitsu came out with the black Kimono. Yuuto tried to hide his face because of the blush that was forming on his face.

"What do you think master?" Akistu asked.

"Wow...you look beautiful." Yuuto said.

Akistu smiled at this and went in the changing room again to change into the other Kimono. While this was happening, Yuuto thought he sensed someone outside of the store, so he looked on the outside of the store to see if there was anyone their...but he didn't see anyone that was looking right at him. After that, he turned his attention back to the changing rooms, and got a look at Akistu with the blue Kimono on.

Outside...

Yahan had to breathe a little bit. She had teleported outside of the mall because she was surprised. She was doing the task that was asked of Izumi and spying on Yuuto and Akitsu to see what their threat level was. But she was surprised as Yuuto had almost caught sight of her. How in the world had she been sensed? She should have been obscured by the crowd of people in front of her, yet this guy almost spotted her.

Although I have to admit...it's kind of cool that he almost found me out...what the hell am I thinking? It's almost like I want him to discover me. I have a job to do. And I'm not going to try and disappoint yet.

She was pulled from her thoughts when her Ashikabi Kenji came towards her.

"So, what did they do? Anything that would make them a threat?" Kenji asked.

"No... well, not in the dangerous term. They were just out shopping for some clothes...specifically for Akistu. Look, I don't think they're a threat-"

"Of course, they are. She's a single number, that means they are stronger than almost all the other Sekirei. Keep an eye on them still, I want to see if there's an opening."

Kenji...you don't understand...you never understood...why do you continue to be so adamant about this...but honestly, I just wish I could spend more time with Kenji...but all he ever wants is...how should I put it...more than me. Kenji...I don't know if you are the right one for me. I don't even feel your emotions like I do Yuuto...but that shouldn't make any sense. We aren't even bonded...so it shouldn't be possible anyways,

Yahan knew that she needed to watch Yuuto more closely...whether it was because she wanted to or not.

1 hour later...

Yuuto and Akistu, after buying clothes for themselves, Yuuto took Akitsu to a café that was in the mall. They only had to wait for a couple of minutes before they got in, but once they sat down, Yuuto sighed in relief and began to relax a bit.

It's nice to just sit around and relax...and to talk to Akistu a bit more. I know there isn't a lot to talk about, but I'm sure I'll make something happen.

"So Akistu, do you remember anything you liked? You know...like something to eat?" Yuuto asked.

"Ahh...now that you ask...no. All I had was some food...that didn't taste very good." Akistu said.

"Well, your in luck. There's a lot of options here, so you can choose the one that you find the most interesting. I usually have some Omurice since I think the taste buds really get going when I eat them."

"Then...I guess I'll eat that as well."

"Are you sure you don't want to look at other options?"

"No master, I'll have what you are having."

"Yuuto."

Dammit, I'm going to have to get her to think on her own as well. She doesn't have to base her decisions on what I like to eat.

Yuuto saw the waitress and had to look away for a bit. It was a young woman with short light brown hair and grey eyes. She was also wearing a blue headband and a black choker around her neck. She appeared to be wearing a maid outfit, which Yuuto was starting to notice was becoming a common thing around here. But what really caught his attention was the way she was walking towards him. She seemed to be scared to come over to them, and she seemed to be almost shuddering at the thought of talking to him and Akistu.

"Um...hello...may I... take your order?" The woman asked.

Now that Yuuto saw the waitress up close, he finally saw the name tag that she was wearing. Her name was Yashima, and she seemed to be nervous towards Akitsu, as she kept looking in her direction. Yuuto, probably figuring out who she was based on the way she was looking, decided to diffuse the situation.

"Don't worry, she's cool...not in that sense, but she's not here to do any harm...oh, and we'll both have the Omurice...is that okay."

Yashima looked surprised at how Yuuto had spoken to her, and her face went a little pink. And she smiled a bit as she wrote down the items that they wanted. Yuuto then noticed something on her right arm that he didn't pick up before, something which disturbed him to no end. She appeared to have a large bruise on her forearm, and the thing was, that mark had looked recent.

"Um, Yashima...are you alright, you seemed to be bruised a bit on your arm."

Yuuto was even more disturbed by the reaction Yashima had, as her eyes went wide at the question, and she quickly tried to hide the mark as best she could. Then she looked down at her feet, trying to hide her nervousness.

"Yes...I'm okay...I just...um...fell down earlier on the floor...and uh...the bruise was there...I'll be back with your drinks shortly." Yashima said.

Yuuto looked on in seriousness as Yashima went to the back of the café. Yuuto then felt a hand on his and turned around and saw Akitsu looking at Yuuto with the same seriousness.

"I can feel you worry...I saw it to...she hasn't been treated well, has she?"

"That's what I'm worried about...if she was actually telling the truth...or if she lied just to keep from putting her problems onto others. Either way, I'm worried about her...Akitsu, I don't know if this is a good idea...but after she's done her shift...do you think we could follow Yashima back to where she lives? I just want to make sure it isn't what I think it is."

"Of course, master...I understand your decision, even if this is a game."

"It's Yuuto."

Yuuto then saw Yashima come over with some drinks, and she placed them on the table for them. Yuuto and Akitsu had just gotten some water, but when Akitsu began to drink it, he saw the look on her face that she was loving the feel of refreshment. Yuuto laughed a bit at the look on her face, as Akitsu continued to drink the water. Then suddenly, he heard a beeping on his phone, almost as if someone had sent him a message. He took his phone out of his pocket and looked at the message. His face turned serious again as he saw it was from MBI Director Minaka.

Hello their contestants. I hope you are enjoying your bonding experiences so far. I just got some new juicy information concerning a Sekirei. She's in the middle of the forest infested park at the address down below. Your objective is to bond with that Sekirei. The time your allowed to bond with her starts as the sun goes down. Hopefully, we'll get to see some Sekirei on Sekirei action. HAHAHAHA!

Yuuto was compeletly pissed off at Minaka. Not only was he forcing the other Ashikabi to come together at the park, but also forcing them to try and bond with them. That upset him even more. Akitsu looked at Yuuto's expression and noticed the phone in his hand.

"Was it from MBI?" Akitsu asked.

"Yeah, it was...and they sent us a message about a Sekirei...telling us to try and bond with that Sekirei starting at sunset."

"Ahh...so your saying...that you and I should go and try and bond-"

"NO!"

Yuuto was surprised at his own outburst, as he didn't expect that. He looked around and noticed that a couple of people were looking in his direction. So, Yuuto breathed a bit and tried to keep his voice at an appropriate volume.

"What I'm saying is we should probably go and guard the Sekirei...you know, just in case anyone tried to forcefully bond with her." Yuuto said.

"But master...I thought the message said-"

"Yeah, that she isn't supposed to be bonded until sunset. The message didn't say anything about when we should arrive there."

"Ahh...so you elect to get their early before anyone else, so you can have the upper hand."

"Correct. Now, I think the smart thing to do is to leave right now...okay, not right now, right after we eat. You need to taste this Omurice."

"And what about the girl master?"

"Well...I think as of right now I'll have to let that slide...I think trying to force someone to be with you is more concerning right now."

After this conversation, the two Omurice's were brought over by Yashima. As she placed the dishes down, Yuuto gave Yashima a sympathetic look. Suddenly, Yashima's face turned pink, and she quickly rushed towards the back.

Huh, that was weird. Why'd she run off like that? Maybe it's nothing but my imagination...oh well brain, TIME TO DIG IN!

At MBI...

Takami was getting treated by various doctors for the cut that on her left eye that she had recently gotten. She was upset because of the events that had unfolded.

30 minutes ago...

Takami and Kusano had just arrived at the park, and Takami opened the door for Kusano. Takami saw Kusano slowly creep out of the limo, but once she was outside, she was all smiles, as she saw the beauty of the park in front of her.

"Oh wow, Takami, this is amazing! This is the best gift ever!" Kusano said.

"Well, now that you're here, why don't we take a walk, so you can enjoy the view more." Takami said.

Kusano was happy, as she came over and held onto Takami's hand. Takami smiled as she and Kusano began to walk around the park. Takami took Kusano to a place in the park that didn't have the large crack in, as that would probably make her more nervous than anything else. She thought that bringing her to the other side of the park was the best thing for the two of them. Takami didn't get to spend that much time with Kusano before two figures came up in front of them. Takami knew them both, as she recognized No. 43 Yomi and her Ashikabi Mikogami.

"What do you want? I'm busy right now." Takami said.

"Oh, nothing much...just looking at the views...maybe a specific Sekirei you've got." Mikogami said.

Takami didn't like the way this conversation was going, so she put herself in front of Kusano to protect her.

"Oh, do you really think you can stop me from what I want? Yomi, take care of her."

Yomi smiled sadistically at Takami, as she quickly came over to Takami and used her Scythe to cut her left eye. Takami cried out in pain, as she held her eye. She looked with her remaining eye as she saw Mikogami coming towards Kusano.

"NO, get away from me!" Kusano said.

"Mikogami, get-"

Takami never got to finish as Yomi used the bottom of her Scythe to knock Takami unconscious.

Takami had woken up on the table and had been getting treatment for her eye since. The bleeding had stopped, but the doctors had to put some stitches on her eye. She knew she was going to have a scar afterwards. But she didn't care about. All she wanted to know was if Kusano was bonded or not. She knew she was about to get an answer when Minaka walked into the room looking smug as ever.

"Ah, looks like you finally woken up Takami. I was beginning to wonder if I would have to wake you myself." Minaka said.

"Don't you fucking dare say that again or I swear I'll bitch slap you back to oblivion."

"Takami! Don't have to be so forceful...I only wanted to tell you about Kusano."

"Where is she? Is she bonded?"

"Oh dear no. Although Mikogami was close to claiming her, she accessed her power, and a giant forest was created around her. She is safe...for now."

"Minaka...what did you do?"

"Oh, nothing really...I only just sent out a message saying the other Ashikabi's could claim her for themselves."

"YOU DID WHAT!?"

Minaka and the other doctors had to cover their ears at the scream that Takami produced.

"I swear to god if Kusano is forcefully bonded, you'll never see your fucking balls again got that?"

Minaka laughed a bit, but it was nervous than anything else.

And that's the end of this chapter. Oh boy, POV's for Yuuto, Yomi, Takami, and Yahan. And we got introduced to Kusano, Nina and Yashima. Don't worry, you'll get to see more of them eventually. Anyways, hoped you enjoyed, and see ya.
