Peter suddenly looked behind him and saw the commotion of the other women behind the Minoato. One woman had long blonde wearing a black dress with white lining with in it. It looked and spoke like someone from a Victorian era. The other woman was a short brunette who wore what appeared to be a robe of some kind and a red skirt. She also wore combat gloves and red boots. Peter also noticed that both women appeared very young. And quite voluptuous. In fact, their breast was on the verge of popping out their clothing at any moment. Miya noticed Pater's stare and attempted to hit him with a boom on his head. Only for him to catch it right before it made contact without him even looking at her. Minoato was as much in shock as was Miya. Both thought to themselves the same question, "How?
" Peter took a light breath and smiled. "Ok Miya you have a point, it is rude to stare, my apologies." Miya gave a slight node and left it at that yet bewildered that this man has stop both attacks. Peter then turned his attention to Minoato, whose jaw was still gaped open from what he saw. "I mean if you need a dentist, you can just tell me, you don't have to show me your jaw line guy, I'll take your word for it", and gave a slight yet friendly smile. Minoato suddenly came back to his senses and addressed Peter. "I'm sorry but I have never seen anyone who", before he could finish his statement, Peter noticed the noise the women were making. "I will handle my husband's groceries you harlot unhand them this instant!" "Hey, no fair the rules were whoever won first, they get to take the groceries for Minato." Peter then looked at Minoato, "So got a bit of a squad I see. I take it they are you Sekeri?" Minoato was again shocked. "You know about the Sekeri plan?" "Well, its wither that or a rock video giving a shout out to the 80's, don't see any cameraman so I have to go with that." Minoato felt a sense of ease and humor coming from Peter. He could not help the fact he was funny. Yet he also could not deny that he was very different from anyone he has ever meet. He saw that firsthand when Peter stopped the broom hitting his head. "Oh, ha ha yes I guess your right." Right then the brunette came up to Peter with what seemed the innocence of a curious child. "Hi there my name is Musubi! Its nice to meet you." Musubi bowed to Peter in her greeting. Suddenly she was pushed away by the blonde, "Can you not be so rude. My husband was in the middle of a conversation" Everyone in the room had a bland yet embarrassed look on their faces. Peter could not help but laugh a little. Thinking to himself," Oh Johnny you would have a field day if you were here". Forgive my rude friend sir, my name is Tsukiumi." Peter shook her hand in acknowledgement. "It's nice to meet you." Peter shook her hand telling her the same. Another woman came up. She had a purple dress on that barley hid her thighs. And like the women before her she had very large breast. Peter made sure not to stare again, to avoid another broom attack by Miya. "It is days like this a good cup of Saki would be perfect. Hello my name is Kazehana. Wouldn't happen to have a bottle on you, would you? "Peter gave a bewildered smile," Um can't say that I do Ms." Giving a slight pout she made her way to the kitchen to find a drink. The other woman came forth and had a tom boyish appearance. She had black pants and a long sleeve shirt. At first, she seemed to be eyeing up Peter, but then made her introduction, "Homura, nice to meet you, Peter. Miya says you recently winged Uzume?" "Yes, Kinda new to the whole wings coming out of nowhere when kissed thing, but I think I'll get used to it." Homura gave a chuckle and nodded in agreement. Then Peter felt a nudge at his leg and saw a little blonde girl with green eyes, and a small dress. "Hello", the girl said. Peter knelt to meet her. "Why hello there, what's you name young lady?' The little girl looked at Peter with a heart-warming smile, "My name is Kusano. Are you a friend of Miya and the others?" Peter returned her smile and nodded," Yeah I guess you can say that. I am your friendly neighborhood Spider man after all." Kusano looked confused for a bit but gave Peter a hug non the less. "If Minoato and the others like you, I like too". Peter welcomed the hug. It seemed so long ago the last time her got a hug from anyone, not since his wife all those years ago. After introductions were made Peter decided to share his story with the others. Everyone was shocked and skeptical until Uzume and Miya confirmed that everything Peter said was true. Then Miya made a surprise for the room and asked Peter, "Peter, would you mind sparring with me in the back yard? I wish to test your skills." Peter was taken aback for a second, but he agreed. The entire room felt silent.
Miya is considered the strongest Sekire on earth, and she just challenged this man to a spar, and he calmly just accepted. When the made their way to the back everyone nearly stampede their way to see. Miya had her signature wooden sword. While Peter crouched in an unusual fighting stance. "Just like a spider", Miya thought to herself. Homura stood with her arms crossed thinking this will be quick. Despite hearing the stories that Peter shared it was still hard to believe. Nevertheless, she was intrigued. "Are you ready Peter?" Miya asked. "Waiting on", before he could finish, he was meet with a sudden barrage of attacks. But the amazing thing was that not only was he dodging them but dodging them with ease. The entire group was in shock. Noone could dodge Miya's attack let alone with ease. She was suddenly sent back with a sharp kick to her midsection. She was taken aback by his quickness and his strength. She would strike forward only for him to flip out of the way, then strike her from behind causing her to lose her footing. After a quick recover, Miya attempted to strike with a side swing, only for Perter to counter by dodging the strike, but using her momentum against herself and taking her sword from her very hand with a flick of his wrist, while at the same time grabbing her and throwing her. When Miya landed, she reached for her sword, only to see it was no longer there. When she looked up, she was stunned to see it in Peters hand. Miya and the others were shocked. He then tossed it back to her. She was sweating now, and panting a little, this is something she hasn't felt since her days in the Discipline squad. When she was ready, Peter charged at her. She was surprised by his speed but waited for him to strike. When he was in range. She lowered herself and made a quick swipe for his legs and fast and sudden as she could. Only for Peter to do a cartwheel style flip over her. Before even landing on the ground, he shot a web line to her back and with a quick yank, pulled her like a rag doll. Peter also sent a line for her sword, taking it away from her yet again. Miya saw she was heading for the houses wall and prepared herself. The others were frightened that Miya would soon be injured. But before Miya made contact. She was hit with a web line and brought back to Peter, landing in his arms. Peter gave a welcome smile. "Think that's good for the day, how about you?" He let her down when he finished speaking. Miya was shocked and impressed all at once. "I have to agree. It seems I need to step up in my practice. Your skills are both unique and quite impressive." "Thanks, I just got a few lucky strikes in that's all. You form and offensive skills were amazing though. Also, here I think this belongs to you." Peter handed Miya her wooden sword respectfully. And she was humbled by both Peter's skill and respect as a fighter. Everyone ran to them, with more questions and shock. "Wow that was amazing. I want to spare next Peter. Will you fight me next please?!" Musbi asked Peter as if she was an excited girl going to a carnival. "That was amazing,! Can you fight me next?!" "Whoa easy their kiddo, a guy has to rest a little bit ok." Musbi pouted a little but understood. Homura was speechless. She could not believe what she saw. The idea of a human fighting a Sekirei was laughable. Sekirei were far stronger and more powerful then humanity's strongest athlete. But watching a human defeat the strongest Sekirie on earth without breaking a sweat was just unreal. "I knew there was more to this guy, but this is insane." As the evening went on, everyone enjoyed dinner and shared their exploits. Peter made a motion to Minato. "So, how did you meet your Seikire? My friend Wade would be jealous. Minato could not help but gulp his food in surprise of Peter's bluntness. "Well, I guess you could say Musbi kind of just feel on my lap, or head anyway, heh. She was being chased by the twins. Not sure you know who I'm talking about." Peter responded," Yeah the bad S&M electro duo, we met". Uzume chimed in, "That's who Peter saved me from." Minato could not help but feel bewildered by Peter as a whole. It should not shock him he just witnessed Peter beat Miya in sparring like it was nothing. "I soon met Tsukiumi afterward, interestingly enough she um was trying to kill me". Peter gave a loud gulp as he heard this in surprise. "Beg pardon", Peter asked. Tsukimi turned red in embarrassment. It was as if she wanted to leave the entire house when she heard that. "Please don't hold it against her. From what I was told she was afraid I would be an abusive ashikabi." Peter looked confused. "I don't understand, I see you all talking and witnessing your unique um characters. Can't you just refuse or say no?"
There was a somber mood that suddenly filled the room. Uzume then spoke. "Peter when I found you, I was so fortunate because who you are. Our ashikabi is our destined one no matter what. Be it they the kindest or", The cruel", Peter suddenly chimed. "Yes, although extreme it was only expected. There are those of us who are not as fortunate to find those like you or Minato. We are tools for our ashikabi to do with as they please. For better or worse. We must defend and serve n matter the order. For the end goal of all this is a battle royal in which we all fight each other until there is only one left. And that one will fight Miya for the ultimate prize." Peter asked an obvious question. "What happens to those that lose?" Miya answered in response, they die and are discarded. Usually, they can either be defeated by combat, or by the neck markers being tampered with. In which case they fall into a eternal sleep never to awake." A quite rage grew n Peter, "This is some sick from of gladiator pit fighting to the death, and for what a magic wish from a lamp.?" Peter thought this and more to himself. He remembers working with Daredevil taking down human traffic rings, and the little boys and girls who would've have been sent to God knows where if not for them. The thought disgusted him. But this, this was something new. A form of barbaric slavery he not just as a hero, but as a human being could not ignore. It wasn't until Uzume yelled at Peter when he realized that he had broke his cup in his hand. "I'm sorry that just…. this has to stop." The room went quiet, "What do you mean Peter?' Uzume asked. Peter closed his eyes, saying something he didn't think he'd say anytime soon. "It's time for Spider man to join this game."
Everyone looked stunned. A human wanting to fight for Sekeri? But this was no mere human. No mere human could defeat the twins. Nor could they defeat Miya in a match. Yet he did. "I think I'm going to go for a walk." With that Uzume stood up, "I'm coming too!" "Whoa easy their champ, I'm coming right back it won't be long." Uzume responded," Peter you are the most amazing and unique man I ever met. I never would have thought it possible for a human to do an inch of the thing you do. I know you are used to saving people but understand as your Sekeri It is my duty to protect you." Peter placed his hand on her face, ". Ok then." Uzume continued her rant but stopped when she realized what she had heard. "You're letting me come with you?" "Well yeah, it makes sense the more I think about it. I'm 72 years old and I only been here under 24 hours. I think it wouldn't hurt to have a local showing me around. That and it would be hard to buy something without any funds. Also, something tells me I got a better chance with an angry Juggernaut then you pissed off". A chuckle and sarcastic smile came to her face. "Yeah, and don't forget it." Miya stood up, "I still have clothes from my late husband. They may appear a little tight, but they should fit you." She provided Peter with pants ad a hoodie, "This should keep you warm tonight, and keep you from being to notice. May I ask where you are going. "Peter gave a slight smile. "Oh, just picking up a few things". And with that, Peter and Uzume went out the door.
In another part in the city, in the Mid Bio Informatics building, a man sits behind his desk with a smile. Handling a pointed crystal. Looking at it as if it were his pride and joy. His crowing achievement, and in many ways that was true. For that crystal was the key to control all sekrie in the city. It is how he controls the rules of his twisted game. He thinks back to when he and his project partner found the island with the crystals and the sekrie. And how they easily destroyed the military that tried to take the discovery themselves. Hearing a knock on the door he snaps out of his memory; he places it in a ground safe under his desk before pressing the remote door lock and answering. "Well don't keep me waiting come in" A woman in a lab coat entered the room with an annoyed expression on her face. "You called me up here Hiroto, this better be important." Now Takami, is that anyway to have a conversation with your higher up?" The woman looks irritated and turns to leave. "Alright now hold your horses. I just want to know how the research is coming along?" "It's coming along, the game you set up is up and running since all are awake now. Of all things, a battle royal? Really? Of all the stupid ideas you come up with this. Can change the world with what we discovered, and your sick version fighting game in real life with strippers is your end goal." "Oh, now hush, you have no vision. Evolution can be cruel; we are merely seeing its potential" "That makes no sense." "Fine, its for fun I want to see who among them is strongest, simple as that. Ancient Rome had their gladiators, we have the Sekirie project. Besides, none of this would be possible without you. And you have been paid for your trouble after all. We even shared some good." "Ok that's enough. You can spare me that trip I'm going back to work." The door closes behind he and he just smile as he stands and looks out the window to the city below him. "The game is set, who will e it's winner? I can hardly wait!" He laughs to himself like a child waking up for Christmas. Ever eager to open it and see the results.
Elsewhere, Peter and Uzume jump through the city rooftops. It seems so long ago since he jumped roof tops with someone. Not since his friend Matt, not since his wife. "Not bad, could have used you back home." "Why? So, I can dust you there too?" Peter felt alive with her. He had only meet her today and yet he felt a connection he couldn't comprehend. He then picked her up in his arms. Surprised Uzume gasped yet felt a sudden rush as he swung carrying her with every swing. She yelled and screamed in delight, loving every second of it. When they landed on a rooftop, she could not help but show her excitement. "That was amazing Peter. I never experienced anything like it. Oh Peter. Before he could react, she hugged him tightly and kissed him. It caught him off guard as the wings appeared on her back again. And yet, he could not let go, he kissed her back. He didn't realize until tonight how beautiful she was. Her voluptuous breast and athletic body, her raven like hair and eyes were obvious, but it was her heart that snared him. Such kindness and compassion. Yet she also had a fire in her a sprit in her that would gladly fight any battle with him. He felt a sense of comradery as well as attraction there was no denying it. He never showed such a connection to anyone except his former wife who died so long ago. Now here he was on a rooftop with a beautiful woman in shards of white vale evening rooftop. "Wow, think I could get use this". He tells her as he lets go, only for her eyes not to leave his. "Oh, there it is the clothing store. Its one of the few ones that stay open this late." Once inside, Uzume bought the clothes that Peter needed. Some more Jeans and t shirts but also some relax tactical pants. "These will do". In his roundabout in the store, he saw a marron red long sleeve shirt. He then saw a Dark blue short sleeve hoodie. He slight laugh to himself. "Oh, Matt you'd laugh your ass off with what I got planned." He then picked up fabric of the same color, bleach, and some red half boots with straps, and then left. Uzume was confused on what he bought. "Why buy these clothes, they seem unusual at best." "Eh, just getting a few things to help stretch my legs a bit". On their way back Peter saw an unmanned construction site. "Perfect!", Uzume followed suit despite being confused. She watched as Peter effortlessly tore off sheets of stainless steel. Uzume could not help but still be taken aback on how strong he is. "Um why exactly? "Oh, you'll see." As Peter answered back and they returned home. Inside Peter brought the items to the room Miya gave him. She let him stay in honor of her husband. She told him how kind he was and wished to continue to help those in need as he had done. Peter laid the bag on the corner when he heard the door open. He was taken aback from when he saw Uzume in the doorway. She had on a white tang top, her breast barley staying in her shirt. Her hair let down freely. And Gray boxer briefs clearly fit for her, with a small rabbit on her left cheek sleeve. Without a word she yawns and makes her way to Peter's bed and just falls upon it. "Wow I'm so tired", only to close her eyes soon after. Peter in his boxers at this point, although surprised, stares at her. "Wow, she's so beautiful." Before he lays down, he hears the land lady's heartbeat on the other side of the door. Before she knocks on the door, Peter calmly opens it.
"Hello Mrs. Asama, just so you know I'm being respectful under your roof. She is fast asleep." Miya could not help but notice the genuine kindness and respect he had for Uzume. Normally this would be where her hannya mask would appear and threaten anyone her disobeyed her. But she felt something different with Peter. She knew full well that that he could defeat her and have his way with Uzume if he wanted. He demonstrated that earlier. Yet despite all this she saw a strong powerful, yet gentle and kind man. And she saw how much he cared about Uzume. He didn't see her as some prize, but a living being. Someone who he is willing to fight for, as well as those whom he never meets. She read man stories, but never thought she would see a hero in real life. "Of course, please take no offence just being protective." "No worries mam". Miya was taken aback from the comment. "Thank you for understating. Goodnight." Miya hastened her step as she hopes she didn't stare too long at Peter's well sculptured bare chest seeping through his tang top, as he stood unembarrassed in his boxers. Not to mention when Peter called her mam "Damn that Mutsu for giving me impure thoughts. And mam?! Do I look that old?" Miya thought to herself as she made her way to her room. As Peter closed the door he sits on the corner of his bed, thinking about the past 24 hours and how crazy they have been. A night ago, he was dying with a gaping hole in his chest taking his last breath. Now, he's in a whole new world entirely. He hears Uzume lightly moan in her sleep, and he turns to see. "Your so beautiful", a memory of his wife Mary Jane comes to his mind as he recalls a night he just came home from patrolling as Spiderman. Seeing her asleep in such peace and beauty. He snaps out of it and lays down with Uzume. As she wraps his arm around her, he thinks to himself, "So warm". He looks upon her and says, "No one will hurt you". He then hears, "I'll protect you Ashikabi". He smiles as he fell asleep with Uzume in his arms. Not knowing what tomorrow will bring. Only knowing he will do whatever it takes to make sure that everyone will get a chance to live it free for themselves. As he sleeps, a red piece of fabric lays on a dresser with exaggerated eye holes on what will be the face for mask. Peter Parker has fallen asleep. And tomorrow will be the day Spiderman returns. Outside, there was a storm raging. A man stumbles in a ally way. Bewildered and confused how he came in this to be. "What happened? How did I get here?" His stupor was interrupted by a loud scream
