Hey guys. Thanks for all your patience. It's been a long time. I just enjoyed it and well, it's time for some storytime.
This is also a callback to one of my older fics.
This will be an enjoyable chapter for me to write as well. Due to my job taking my energy, I do intend to enjoy writing chapters without too much action. So this is perfect for some bits on this fic.
And as I let you guys know, it took some time for that.
We didn't get that many reviews since last time but hey, that is one thing.
We got 191 favorites and 223 followers.
43 more favorites and 48 more followers. With this, this has become my second best fic. That is cool.
And I won't stop saying this. If you like this fic, you will like Brave New World. Just take a look at the chapter.
Now for the guest reviews.
Curt on the 5th of September.
Thanks for the review. There will be some more bits here and Takami will have a heart attack.
Especially who he all winged.
Started on 10/10/2020
Ended on 20/10/2020
Minato woke up with a tired sigh. He was exhausted after fucking Akitsu for so long that he had passed out when he was doing that.
She was now imprinted with his DNA. Flooding with it even. Tired yes but he was fulfilled. It had been a while since he felt a peace.
Sure, more Sekirei could pop up at any time. But for now, he had some peace. In his bed, he found at least a few colored hairs.
Light brown hair from Akitsu, purple from Kazehana, orange from Matsu. He heard some clashing from outside. It looked like Miya and Karasuba were again clashing. As long they kept things down, it wouldn't end up in one total war.
He was sure that it wasn't a joke. From what he understood, he already got quite a few powerful Sekirei. Maybe he should make a few calls. To Mikogami. To let him know about it.
Also, the Ashikabi of the south. That term. Where did it come from? And what was he now? Ashikabi of the North.
"So hubby, anything on your mind?" The teasing tone came from his waist. She wasn't sucking his dick now but that could change if both wanted that. Looking down, an infectious grin was on the face of Uzume.
"Hello, Uzume-chan. I'm fine. Just my head on the clouds."
"Your lower one?" The brunette teased and both softly laughed. She loved this guy. She really fucking did.
Than the Veiled Sekirei turned serious.
"Can I talk it to you for a second?"
"I always got time for my Sekirei." A hint of guilt set in Uzume. But the truth would set her free. Especially after the story, she was going to tell him. That was something that she had let her Ashikabi know. She had to let him know of the past.
When they walked to the room, Karasuba wanted to intercept them but she found a sword of Miya blocking her way. Stopping her from going after the two.
"What is your idea?" The Black Sekirei asked while Miya glared at her.
"Maybe you can say that you don't want Minato to talk to the other Sekirei but unfortunately for you, I do love my sisters." Miya would like the other Sekirei more than Karasuba, no matter who they would be. And with Uzume, she wasn't the only one who loved before and had lost.
The one who told that it was better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, never suffered as Miya did. Or like Uzume did.
It was a good thing they found love again.
In the room, she was seated on her bed, her room was pilling over in different outfits. Minato looked around the different clothes. Maybe she could dress him up. Or the girls could dress up.
Now, that was one nice idea. Especially in bed.
"Minato, what do you know about Sekirei?" A weird question but the Ashikabi took a place next to the closet leaning to it.
"That you girls got superpowers, link your life to an Ashikabi, that you are aliens and that from what I have seen, you are super hot, sexy, and like to make love." Uzume laughed when she heard that. Tapping the bed, she wanted to Minato sit next to her.
"Yes. But in this house, there are some things you should know about. You healed some broken hearts. That of Miya. That of Kazehana." Uzume sighed and she felt an arm around her. She was quiet.
"My heart as well."
"Uzume-chan? Are you okay?" She closed her eyes and bit through the tears that threatened to come out.
"Minato. Can you please kiss me first?" Without hesitation, he pressed his lips on hers. Warmth surged in her body and she could feel the heat in her heart. When he let go, some salvia was connected. Touching her cheek, he wiped a tear.
"Uzume-chan. I have the feeling that you are telling me something very personal." Uzume nodded.
"Yes. Takehito was the lover of Miya. But well, Minato. A Sekirei can be attracted to multiple Ashikabi's. Most of the times, the choice is pretty clear and we bind our lives to that person." She was hoisted in his lap and he pressed her closer.
Uzume put her head on his shoulder. Sure, it had been some time but it still stung. Things that could never be. She heaved and she just stayed down. Her head buried in his shoulder.
"Minato. Before I met you. I had a girl that I wanted to be my Ashikabi. Chiho Hidaka. You know. I never really cared about the plan. One day, I was out for a few errands for Miya and passed by a hospital. Now, I can say a lot about our landlady but she had one big tip. Don't wing your Ashikabi too fast."
A humorless smile was on her face. Minato's heart broke when he saw that.
"Sure, I'm grateful for her now with you but at the time, I was furious when she told me that. You're a smart guy, Minato. Figure it out."
He had a few pieces but the Ashikabi got it.
"You were attracted to her, Miya warned you about it, so you held it off and instead of getting winged, you lost your potential Ashikabi." Tears pricked now and they began to stream down. Minato hated to see Uzume this hurt.
Uzume shook and Minato kept the crying bird to his chest. The anguish was feelable, even for him. The others must have felt it as well. But they gave the two privacy. Something he had to thank them for.
Later.
"Uzume-chan. Do you regret becoming my Sekirei?" The face came from his chest and in her eyes was a burning passion. Still, the tears mismarked that beautiful face.
"Are you crazy? I am happy that you are my Ashikabi!" She calmed down and kissed him again.
"I am grateful that I am your Sekirei and I got this second chance. You are one great Ashikabi. There is no telling how it might have gone if Chiho lived. Maybe some other way but that is something I don't know. I will never know." With their foreheads smashed, Minato smiled at her.
"A good friend of mine once told me that living in the past or the what-if, isn't good for you." Kissing her forehead, Uzume could feel happiness in her body as she felt Minato's body on her.
The reassurance of an Ashikabi. The promise of a future.
"Thank you, Minato." They kissed again and her wings came out, filling the room with light.
'I don't want to ask for a lay. That would ruin the moment.' She kissed Minato back and she forced his body to go next to hers..
They continued to kiss and cuddle. Uzume wanted nothing more to hug and feel Minato.
Just the reassurance that she had winged an Ashikabi. A crazy good one.
And while she could feel the warmth of him, she just wanted some affection. Again, she wanted no fuck from Minato now.
She was not in the mood to get hot and heavy. But she just wanted to feel Minato. And they would have continued to cuddle the entire day until they heard a polite knock.
"Come in," Minato said. Miya wouldn't mind if they were just cuddling and the scene of Uzume snuggling Minato's chest was a bit adorable. The brunette looked content when she was laying on his chest.
From her eye, she winked at Miya. She couldn't stop them with fucking. She was happy that she didn't do that though.
"Minato-kun. There is a guest for you. The young Ashikabi with Mutsu." Kissing Uzume, the girl rolled in her bed.
"I'll stay here. Have fun, Minato." The Ashikabi left the room and Miya turned around. She looked at the Veiled Sekirei. It was no secret on what she talked about with Minato.
"Got it off your chest?"
"You don't want to know, Miya, how many times I cried. Here alone. For the choice you told me." Turning around, Uzume put her hands on the pillow. Her head went to the ceiling.
"I'll always mourn Chiho. That won't be denied. Just like you will mourn Takehito. But I won't let this chance go to waste." Uzume let the tears run down her face. Miya knew she wanted to be alone.
"I'll let you be, Uzume. Come down later."
When she closed the door, the Veiled Sekirei made one point.
"Neither will I let this go to waste." Minato walked down to see the two males in the house. Mikogami had gotten tea and was sipping on it.
Mutsu just looked embarrassed as he was surrounded by all the former rivals. Luckily, Minato walking in caused the attention to get away from him.
"Ah, the man of the house." Minato blushed as that was who he was now.
"Hello, Mikogami." Sitting down, Akitsu took her seat next to him. The Ice Queen had a small smile on her face and the Ashikabi of the South sighed as he knew that she was winged now. But she was happy and taken care of. So there was that. Looking around, he eyed the Sekirei.
The Number One Pillar, Number Two Matsu, Number Three Kazehana, Number Four Karasuba, Number Seven Akitsu. Minato Sahashi was impressive.
"So Minato, do you have other Sekirei?" Looking upstairs, he nodded.
"Yes, I have one more. Number Ten, Uzume." Hayato made the note that he would never piss off Minato intentionally.
"You'll end up with more Sekirei, I bet half my console collection on it." Minato raised an eyebrow when he sat down.
"I like games." And that should explain everything. Hayato sat back with a smile while Minato had his brain catching up.
"I see. So Mikogami, why did you drop by?" The boy sighed.
"I'm bored now and well, I wanted to see how things went with Akitsu. It looks like you managed to wing her. How did you do that?"
All occupants of the room turned several sorts of red while Akitsu hid out the way. Minato was just sitting back with a smile.
"Kid, how old are you?"
"I am fifteen years old. Why? What has that to do with anything?" Karasuba giggled.
"I pegged you younger. You really like them that way, don't you, Mutsu." Crossing his arms but glaring at the former teammate, the Earth Sekirei glared at him.
"I don't think you have any right to call me weird. Especially considering your Ashikabi, Karasuba. That blush might explain why he managed to tame you."
A polite cough cut off any hostilities. "No harm in this table. Oh and Mutsu, last time I checked, age of consent is 13." Rolling his eyes, Mutsu obeyed Miya.
"I don't do that." Looking at Minato he wondered how this young man kept all Sekirei entertained. He counted five at the table plus one more. Strong ones as well. Minato Sahashi would be a frightening foe.
"We're here for a reason, didn't we, Mikogami?" The boy remembered after he got some sweets.
"Yes. Minato, do you know of the different Ashikabi's?" Minato shook his head as he listened to Mikogami.
"There are quite a few Ashikabi's out there with a single Sekirei. This game, pretty messed up even for me, wants to pit the Sekirei against each other. Now, Mutsu told me that mentioning the name of the CEO of MBI here is a good way to get slaughtered."
Minato gave him a wry grin and pointed his thumb up.
"That's not a lie. So how many Sekirei do you have so far?"
"Three. Two girls are at home, Mutsu with me." Minato crossed his arms and eyed the boy. The stern glare relented him to answer. Putting his hands up, he listened to the elder.
"I winged them after they came to me. I know better than to put the advice beside me. And well, Minato Sahashi, I came here with a request." The glare softened and Minato listened to him.
"So far, there are three powerful Ashikabi's, aka Ashikabi's with more than one Sekirei, in three parts of the city. Me in the south, Sanada Nishi in the West and Higa Izumi in the East. There was a vacant spot in the North. Well, until a couple days ago."
The pause was only for a second as Minato figured that out.
"You mean. That I am the Ashikabi of the North?" He pointed a thumb and immediately, his Flock dropped over him.
"Oh, how manly, Minato-kun. Such a name for yourself." Kazehana was on one side.
"Mina-tan is impressive." Matsu giggled perversely as she took another.
"Well done my pet." Karasuba had some pride.
"Minato-sama, congratulations." Yeah, that was Akitsu. She pecked him on the cheek.
Miya shook her head. Minato was one hell of an Ashikabi. That was true.
"When you are done," Hayato asked and the attention was back at him. Minato relaxed and listened to the boy.
"Sorry about that. Continue, Mikogami." Minato asked with a genuine interest. This guy was a nice thing to have around. He could get used to him.
"Hayato is my name. Now, from what I hear, there are some differences between us. Nishi goes on his bike and from my report, only got three Sekirei. Not that many but I think there is something behind that. You should try to contact him." The Southern Ashikabi told him.
"The other guy is Higa Izumi. Now, I am not a saint and you'll never hear me say that but perhaps, listening to you is a start to become better. Not like this guy. Forced winging, this guy got no love for Sekirei. And he'll disregard the rules on a heartbeat."
Minato's jaw clenched, Matsu had no giggle, Kazehana looked furious, Karasuba clicked her tongue in disgust, Akitsu looked down and Miya was angry.
"No good guy from what you told me."
"No doubt. Sahashi, I would like to ask you for an alliance. We haven't seen this game for a long end and with our two opponents, we can use all the help we can get. Do you agree?" The boy extended a hand. Minato looked down on it and then turned to his Sekirei.
The support he got from them was clear. This was a good idea.
"Very well. From today, we'll work together in this game." Hayato's hand might have been shorter than his and maybe not as strong but it still held a friendliness. Minato shook it as well.
After that, Mikogami decided it was time to go out and look around for new Sekirei.
"I'll let you know what goes. Cya, Minato." And he was off.
Minato could only blink when he heard that.
"Did that kid just call me by my first name?" The Sekirei laughed at him.
"He sure did," Kazehana said while she looked at the car.
"I think he likes you." Matsu stood by her old friend.
"That is one way to call you." Karasuba gave one nice smile.
"It would be fitting if Minato-sama is called like that by his friends." That face of Akitsu made it hard to guess if she was joking.
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Let it be, Minato." Miya giggled.
Minato just looked at the car and back at the Flock. He shrugged on that and went back in.
"Well, fine. Do you all mind? I think that Uzume needs some more comfort." He had spoken and he found that the Veiled Sekirei wasn't asleep. She was waiting on him before she would go and nap.
"Hey, hubby." She laid in her bed and winked at him. It was clear what she wanted from Minato and the Ashikabi would provide that.
"What did you and that runt talk about?"
"It looks like we got ourselves an ally. Now, Uzume-chan. Do you want to continue to cuddle?" The Sekirei always liked taking naps. But with a cuddle guy, that would be more fun.
But she wasn't the one. Uzume would have preferred to take Minato closer to her chest and hug him there but laying with her arms around his neck and sleeping on his shoulder, that worked fine for her as well.
Sleep claimed her and the two enjoyed their rest. It was a deep slumber because neither of them noticed that Matsu and Kazehana were taking pictures of the two.
"They're so cute."
"Right? I can't believe it." When Uzume stirred, she pushed herself closer to Minato. It was clear how much she enjoyed it.
"Hey, Matsu. You really think that she is happy?"
The bespectacled Sekirei nodded on that.
"Kazehana, you weren't there when Uzume-tan lost that Chiho girl. She was heartbroken. Just a bit like you." Minato pulled her closer.
"And I think that we're good for Minato too. But for now, we let them sleep." If they stayed for a little while, they could hear how Minato muttered in his sleep.
He was having one hell of a dream. It was like the guy had found himself in one hell of a garden. It was like he wasn't on earth anymore. The flowers were lush, the blooms gave a nice touch and he could smell the earth.
"Where on earth am I?"
Before that question could be answered, he heard a soft sobbing. Was that a child? Did someone leave a child behind here?
He ran to the sound of it.
"Hello, is there someone?"
"Onii-chan." Yeah, he heard that right. He ran through a small clearing. There was a small girl curled up and weeping. Going closer, he crouched to her. The girl looked up to him. Before she could run away, he softly ruffled her hair.
"Hey, it's okay. I am here. Who are you? I am Minato."
Wiping her eyes, she looked at him. "Kusano."
"That's a nice name. So what are you doing here?" She leaped in his arms.
"Oniichan. Please save me oniichan!" After that, the world faded and Minato woke up. It took a second before he realized where he was. Uzume's room.
"Minato?" Worry laced her voice. Her eyes shined at him as the Sekirei put a hand on his shoulder. They could feel how their Ashikabi was stirring. Yet, they exercised patience.
"Are you okay?" Minato shook his head.
"I think I need to see Matsu." With Uzume in tow, he came from her room and he wanted to knock until it was opened. The Sekirei of Wisdom came out and she began to kiss him. Minato just appreciated the kiss as she involved her tongue.
"Needing a boost, Matsu?" She giggled the joke of Minato as she pulled him in closer.
"Yeah, I needed that. Mina-tan. You had a dream?" Turning around, the rest of his Flock was gathered in the hall. They all looked seriously at Minato who nodded at them.
Miya had her hands on a broom, Karasuba was leaning further away and Kazehana had her arms crossed.
"Yep. Weird one. I was in a giant forest for a lack of better term. There I was surrounded by flowers. In it, I found a little girl. Kusano was her name. I have been around you all to know that isn't normal." Miya relaxed in that talk.
"Indeed not. Sekirei might communicate via dreams to their Ashikabi. I suppose this Kusano girl tried to contact you. That is a new Sekirei for you." Miya smiled at him.
"Yeah and lucky thing for us, Miya-tan. Is she the one?" Showing the picture of a young girl in a simple dress with long blond hair. She looked really adorable.
"That's her." All of the Sekirei looked at him in a certain expecting matter. Even Karasuba. Minato sighed when he heard that.
"Don't you all worry. I am not going to do anything to her. I like sex but not with kids. I'm not a lolicon."
Good thing for Minato, he had gotten a text. That new alliance with Mikogami really paid off.
"Hello."
"Evening, Minato. Have you heard yet about Kusano?" now, Minato liked to believe in coincidence but there was just a small dose of that.
"I had a prophetic dream about her but I don't think that is why you're calling Hayato. What's up?"
"A prophetic dream? Well, you're her Ashikabi. But seriously, the text we got from MBI. You want to hear it."
Minato kinda didn't want to but his Flock was around him.
"Hit me up."
"There is a Sekirei in the Botanical Garden. Don't you want to be her Onii-chan?" A chill ran down his spine when he heard that line. Every guy who was an Ashikabi could get that.
"You are kidding me, Hayato?"
"I am afraid not, Minato. That was what the text said. I don't play those sort of games. It's clear though that you are her Ashikabi." Minato relaxed a bit when he heard that from Hayato.
"Kid, you want to join in this or not? I can go after that girl. But I would really appreciate your help." It remained quiet for a bit from his side. Minato was almost guessing that he would have to go with only his Sekirei.
"We'll join you. Minato, we take care of the Southern Parts and hold off any Ashikabi's. Minato, there might be a chance that other Unwinged Sekirei will show up."
Happy that Hayato meant an allegiance, Minato let him know what was the best course of action.
"When they react to you, fair game. Thanks a ton, Hayato."
"You're welcome, Minato. Good luck." Minato closed his call. The Flock waited until he spoke again.
"Kusano is in the Botanical Garden. Hayato just informed that every Ashikabi is now after her. He'll hold them off from the South. Matsu, what is Kusano's power?" Matsu recovered fast from her Ashikabi's rapid mind and quickly summarizing events.
"Kusano is the Sekirei of Life. She can make plants and other stuff come to live. Due to her young age, she isn't that good with her powers. Winging her might cause that to reverse." Before Minato could leave, she grasped the shoulder of her Ashikabi.
"Kusano is just eight in human years. Take it easy on her." Minato nodded at her.
"You'll stay here?" He asked gently but Matsu shook her head.
"I am no good in a fight. I'll cover you on the way." After a kiss, she went back to her room. Minato realized it was the first time he would be in a Sekirei fight.
"You four coming along?" Karasuba had a bloodthirsty grin on her face.
"Sure. I would love to join in the slaughter."
"Keep it at a minimum," Minato ordered her.
"I am sure to join you, Ashikabi-kun." Kazehana winked at him and he felt his heart skip a beat. Despite all things, he wasn't used to such a beautiful creature being loyal to him.
"Sure, sounds like fun. Having a little sister around." Uzume teased him but Minato nodded to her.
"Miya?"
The Pillar shook her head.
"No, Minato. I am staying. Someone needs to protect this house while you're gone. I trust the four of you to get Kusano home. Good luck, I would say." Kissing his first Sekirei, Minato gave her a smile that had some confidence. She liked that look on him.
"I'll do that. Thanks, Miya."
Minato ran outside with his Sekirei. The three played a game of rock-paper-scissors. It looked like Kazehana had won
Uzume took it in good stride while Karasuba fumed.
"Eh, girls. What is this?" Before he could say anything more, the Wind Witch scooped him off in a princess carry and she jumped. Despite he was right next to the best pair of tits he ever laid his eyes on, Minato couldn't suppress a scream.
"Kazehana, what the hell are you doing?"
She laughed as Kazehana winked at him.
"This is faster."
"A little warning next time." Minato begrudgingly said when Kazehana let him go. The Wind Flower smiled at him and she kissed him on the nose.
"Will keep it in mind, hubby. Looks like this is the place." Minato saw a huge forest and his mouth fell open.
It was a tropical rainforest instead of a park.
"Damn, that runt got spunk. Look at this." Karasuba was talking while she was stunned as the others. Akitsu looked at it as well. She found the forest to be great.
"Minato-sama. Where do we find a point of entry?" She asked while the group went down. While the forest was huge, Minato could see a boy waving at them.
Saluting Hayato, Minato was sure that he was happy with the support. A girl with a scythe hung his shoulder. The younger Ashikabi gave a thumbs up.
"Let's get in. Akitsu, could you please?" The Ice Woman nodded but before she did, she winked at her Ashikabi. Rolling his eyes, Minato kissed her and energy flew in.
Using her powers, she froze a couple of trees and walked the group. Four Sekirei, one Ashikabi. Meanwhile, Hayato smiled. With his latest addition of Yomi, other Ashikabi's looked and glared. Mutsu had caused a giant mudslide and they stayed away from him.
Sending a text, he prayed that Minato got it.
'When you get out, let me know. So I can leave.'
The group walked through it. Minato touched it and felt the plants.
Kazehana looked at the flowers. "So much power. For such a young Sekirei." Minato had a good idea where he was going. In silence, he could standstill. Then like a bloodhound, he picked up the smell. The Sekirei were just quiet.
"I do think that I will teach that brat manners," Karasuba said when she cut down some trees. She didn't like nature that much.
"You touch that girl without her consent, there is hell to pay." The glare of Uzume made Karasuba think twice. This was one tough girl. And when Kazehana touched her shoulder of Uzume. To let her know that she was standing by number Ten.
"I do like the idea. A little sister or something like that." Minato paused and he looked at a split. He touched the trees and breathed in. It was like he could feel Kusano, sending him signals.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who got in. When he spotted another Ashikabi, the young man turned to him.
"Get lost. I was here first." Minato remained calm. He might not have been the only one.
"If I were you, I'd follow your own advice. That Sekirei is reacting to me and I don't like the idea of getting rid of another rival." The male, young with some blond hair, turned to him.
"Oh, really. Namiji." A red-haired Sekirei with a massive halberd appeared.
"I'm Sekirei Number 73. Who are you?" Minato looked at her. She looked like a capable fighter.
"I'm Minato Sahashi. There is no reason for us to fight now." The Ashikabi glared at him while he gritted his teeth. Takano would need more Sekirei to fight in this game. Sure, Namiji reacted to him but he wanted more Sekirei.
"And where are your Sekirei?" From out the woods, Kazehana appeared. She didn't want to fight a Sekirei right now but her Ashikabi had spoken.
She draped her arm over Minato's shoulder. "I'm Sekirei Number 3, Kazehana." From the left, Uzume crossed her arms to emphasize her bust.
"Sekirei Number 10, Uzume."
On her right stood Akitsu. "Number Seven, Akitsu."
Karasuba came from behind Kouji.
"Sekirei Number Four, Karasuba. And I'm itching for blood." Minato took a deep breath. As long as he could, he would avoid bloodshed but when push came to shove, he would let his Sekirei fight.
"Those are mine. Now, I am asking you again. Leave. There is no reason for us to fight and there is no way you can win." Takano looked to Namiji who was absolutely terrified.
"Kouji-sama. There is no way I can win. We have to retreat." If he pushed on, Kouji would be down a Sekirei. His foe gave him a way out. He would take it.
"Fine." Minato relaxed and pointed with his thumb behind him.
"You can leave via the North exit. There are a few people on the South." Kouji nodded and ran along with his Sekirei. This night was a bust.
"That was done very well, Minato-sama." Akitsu looked at the foes as they left.
"I prefer to do this. Bloodshed is going to come in this game." Looking at Karasuba who looked thrilled on that prospect.
"But we have to keep it to a minimum and keep it for those who deserve it."
Kazehana draped herself more over him.
"Where did you learn this? All the stuff of bluffing. That was one hell of a strategy. Matsu is going to have work with you instead of her telling what to do." A blush set in as Minato smiled at her.
"I played a lot of strategy games. Fire Emblem and the likes." A lightbulb went off at Uzume's head. She had heard that name before.
"Matsu-nee plays those games as well. I think you might tell her that." Uzume took the other side while Karasuba glared at him.
"Why use strategy? You winged already five of the Single Numbers plus Number Ten. You are friends with the Southern Ashikabi. Our odds are pretty good." Minato made himself loose from the two and walked over to her.
"You can say that, Kara-chan but there is no telling what else we'll face. Brute force is fun but strategy is equally important. We can't just hope to win with that alone." Kissing the silverette on the nose, Karasuba turned bright red.
"And don't worry, you'll get your fill of bloodshed." She smiled at him. A true relaxed smile.
"You really are one hell of an Ashikabi."
Scene skip.
On an apartment, one young man looked down on the forest. Curse those idiots at MBI. He would have gone after the Green Girl if this was the power she commanded.
He had normal size and wore a long pure white suit with a white shirt underneath and a black tie. The fight was still going on but he wouldn't allow his Sekirei to enter the fray.
"Higa-sama." Turning his head, he found that the male standing there was a tall man with a black suit on.
"Are you sure that you don't want our Sekirei to infiltrate that forest?" Higa looked at the entrance. Mutsu and the two Sekirei kept others away from that.
"Tell me something, Kakizaki. The Southern Ashikabi only keeps others out while not entering the forest where the Green Girl lies. What does that tell you?" The male looked at it.
"That he sent a Sekirei on ahead to get the prize out." Higa scoffed when he heard that line.
"That or he has another reason. Let KochÅ hack in his cellphones. I think that the brat had an alliance with another Ashikabi."
"Who? Not with you. The Western Ashikabi. I doubt. So who is left?" Kakazaki asked in confusion. From what they got, Mikogami was a selfish brat.
Higa glared to the stars. A particular bright one was flickering. The rumors lied that in the North one powerful Sekirei had its residence there. The stories went that the Sekirei was winged.
Higa would bide his time. Somewhere he hoped that he could manipulate other Sekirei like with Kakazaki. But with that stupid girl expiring, he had no chance to get his clutches on Sekirei Number Ten. Pity. She would make one useful pawn.
Back to the forest.
Minato continued in the forest. He touched the place and he could feel the signals in the forest. This Kusano was going through him. When a tree-covered their path, Karasuba sliced it apart. When vines covered the way, Akitsu froze them.
Each time, a kiss was a reward. Uzume and Kazehana fumed when that happened. So when the two fighters did, they draped over Minato. The Ashikabi blushed. Despite doing so many dirty things with and to them, he wasn't used to the contact and attention. Not that he minded.
He made the note to give Matsu and Miya the same attention. How would they be? That was a question for later.
"I'm feeling her more. We're getting closer to her." Kusano was still sleeping but he could feel the connection. He really had to make a few calls. One to his mother to begin with.
Now that she came to mind. What was he going to do with Yukari?
Minato breathed in and out. That was for later. He relied on his senses and on the Sekirei who could keep him safe.
"Minato, not that I am complaining but how much further?"
Smiling at Kazehana, he began to feel the effects on his feet as well.
"I think we are nearly." His line was cut off as he witnessed a scene. One that he had often heard less savory friends talk about.
There lied Kusano. Like a sleeping princes, waiting for her prince to kiss her awake. But over her hung a guy who at least weighed double of Minato. And even from ten meters, he could smell the dirtbag.
The intentions of this guy was pretty clear. While the idea of being called "Onii-chan" were all nice and good, his morals prevented him from going on that Sekirei.
On the face of his Sekirei, he could read the same revolt. Even Akitsu had a disgruntled look on her face and Karasuba looked thirsty. He would allow her for this.
"Karasuba, if you could." The Black Sekirei smiled at the prey who wasn't aware of the group behind him.
"Don't kill him. But make it hard for him get out of here."
With a savage smile, she did what Minato asked off her. Jumping up, Karasuba kicked the guy off the little girl. The guy turned to her and found that a very angry girl that cracked his knuckles. The other three Sekirei were normally peace-loving creatures but seeing how Karasuba beat the lump of human filth within an inch of his life made them itching for joining.
Minato couldn't care about the guy but looked at Kusano.
Good thing she didn't wake up. She would have nightmares for the rest of her life if she witnessed that scene.
Crouching over to the unconscious girl, Minato didn't want to wake her up now. In that, he took the girl up and lifted her at his shoulder.
"Okay, that worked out. So do we leave now?" The girls waited a bit until they felt a rumble.
"Guess not."
Turning around, he witnessed another Ashikabi standing. The guy was older than Minato and he had small mustache. He was wearing a green pullover and a jeans. Next to him stood a Sekirei.
She was wearing a white gown with blue and black accents. Some stuff was black like her chocker, stockings, boots and gloves which were longer. The blue stuff was her headband. That was one normal thing.
The not normal thing was her large hammer.
"Looks I am not too late. Despite all things." The guy just spoke and it already made Minato weary. He focused on the Northern Ashikabi.
"Did you wing her yet?" Minato shook his head. Junichi had a perverse smile on his face. Minato just held back.
"Good. Hand her over."
"I don't think so," Minato answered. As he mentioned. Bloodshed could be done when it was needed.
"Look, I am going to ask it once again. If you hand her over, I'll let you go unharmed." Minato stood up with Kusano tucked on his hip.
"I make you the same offer." He nodded to the Sekirei. Karasuba joined them as she was done. The filth lived but he would have a tough time walking.
Or jacking.
Uzume and Kazehana stood back as they were ready to fight. On his shoulder stood Akitsu who would use her own powers. Karasuba unsheathed her sword. Finally some real fun.
"Leave, the odds aren't in your favor." The thug glared at Minato.
"Yashima, come here!" The Sekirei obeyed and she slowly joined the Ashikabi. Without any hesitation, he took her by the shoulders and shoved his tongue down her throat.
"The hammer of my pledge! Shatter the enemies of my Ashikabi!" Her body lightened up as she turned to the group. Minato could only raise an eyebrow.
Strategy was key now.
Shifting Kusano, he pressed a kiss on Akitsu. The Ice Queen moaned but it wasn't the time for fun.
"Akitsu. Use your Ice to halt her!" The order was received and quickly, a storm of hail blew in the direction. The Sekirei could use her hammer to shield herself but couldn't get closer.
Akitsu's attack wasn't meant to hurt her, mainly stall her. Minato rushed over to Kazehana and Uzume. Both their wings lit up as they were kissed by him.
"Kazehana. Use your wind to amp up the hailstorm. Uzume, choose a position and attack from the flank." Karasuba had sauntered over to him with a dead smile.
"No diplomacy this time." Grabbing her by the collar, Minato sealed her lips.
"No. Eat your heart out." Karasuba did that as she made herself ready. Minato wasn't going to risk it this time. They wanted to fight and that could be done.
Yashima had the time to avoid the hail storm. The wind blew her further and cut deep in her. Uzume would keep an eye out in case she was needed. So far, the other girls had their work cut out for them. She wondered where Karasuba was going as the woman took another approach.
Turning around, she nodded as she found the silverette. She wasn't going to risk getting in the way. She used her cloth and attacked from the flank. Yashima was too focused and lost sight of Uzume.
"Sorry." The Veiled Sekirei softly muttered as she captured the arms. Karasuba cut through her like she was made of paper.
'I'm sorry. Ashikabi-san.' Minato gulped when he witnessed the brutal fight. It was done all too quickly. Those girls could work together.
The hammer fell out as it was useless now. Yashima fell down and Junichi could only look as his Sekirei was cut down without too much effort.
"Fuck. Fuck you. You damned monster. She was my Sekirei." Karasuba only pointed her sword at him.
"Watch your mouth." It was like he forgot something.
"Oh yeah. What are you going to do? You can't hurt or kill Ashikabi's." the Black Sekirei only smiled at him.
"Oh and who is going to enforce that rule? The Discipline Squad. Hate to break it to you but I am no longer part of that." Junichi fell down as Karasuba cracked her knuckles.
"Karasuba." The clear voice of Minato caused her attempt.
"Don't kill him." She nodded and Minato decided that they could leave now with Karasuba. He, and the other three Sekirei, ignored the screams and the twisting of bones. Looking at Yashima, she was done.
Kazehana knelt near to her body.
"Didn't stand a chance. Pity how we are forced to this." She didn't like the idea but she wouldn't stop doing it.
"Can I ask one of you to carry her out this forest? MBI will pick her up and I don't like the idea of leaving her body here." Uzume nodded and went to pick her up. Yashima's body was surprisingly light. They walked out and just after five minutes, Karasuba followed them.
"He's not dead. But if he dies, well. No one will know." Minato kept his mouth shut as he carried Kusano. All this bloodshed. For what?
Saving a girl. This Sekirei Plan was horrendous.
When they got out the forest, Minato was sure that he was happy he could go home. But when a chopper landed, he realized that it wasn't over yet.
After some medical personnel got out, they carried the deactivated Yashima with them.
"Are you okay, Minato-sama?" He couldn't take his eyes away from the girl.
Turning to Akitsu, he nodded.
"I'm fine, Akitsu-chan. Just shaken." The woman nodded and because they couldn't leave, Minato decided to call Mikogami.
"Minato, hey." The upbeat tone made him smile a bit.
"Hey, Hayato. I got Kusano." He could hear the smile of the younger Ashikabi.
"Sweet. When can I meet her?"
"In a couple of days. For now, you can go."
"Sure thing. I'll keep in touch. Thanks for calling me." At least, the night had ended well for Mikogami. With the new Sekirei and Minato cursed his bad luck.
The sun was rising over the city and he hadn't gotten a night of rest. Plus, the adrenaline was wearing off. He longed for a soft futon to sleep on.
With some cute girls around him, that would be nice.
Scene skip.
Miya stayed home, watching over the place. She had faith in her sister wives and her Ashikabi to get the young Kusano home. So it was a surprise that she heard a knock on the door. They wouldn't be back this soon. Still, she had to check it out who was knocking.
She hadn't expected Minato to show up so it would be someone else. But the face of the Sekirei of Fate was one surprise.
"Yume?" A flabbergasted Miya Asama. That was worth a thousand pictures but Yume couldn't care less about the look of the Pillar.
"Miya. Thank God that you still live here! Did you by any chance happen to run in Musubi? I told that girl to stay put." The Pillar walked up to the Sekirei of Fate and pressed on her forehead. It did slow down the Sekirei.
"Yume. Calm down. Come inside and we'll talk over a nice cup of tea." Matsu was now busy on Minato and helping the Ashikabi out but the Pillar was also neutral to some regard.
The Sekirei walked in the place and she could feel it.
Lighter mood, nicer atmosphere, relaxed Miya. Something good happened to this place. But she could wait with the questions. She had to find Musubi. But the scent of good tea caused her to focus on Miya.
"So what is going on?" Yume relaxed when she heard that voice of Miya. It always helped hero out.
"Right. Before you wonder. I am not longer involved with MBI. I felt a pull of my Ashikabi."
"Let me guess, just a few days ago." Miya giggled while Yume looked with an open mouth at her.
"How do you know that?"
"And that pull followed you to the North." Miya continued as she confirmed her suspicion. Karasuba was going to have a field day if Yume would join in the Flock.
As well would Kazehana and Matsu.
"Yes. But Miya, where are you going at?" Yume asked again, her heart rate going down.
"Well, Yume. I think that you should know that I was winged recently." Yume's mouth dropped open when she heard that. It was one shock to hear that Miya had moved on from Takehito.
She couldn't be winged and in her case, that would have been a blessing.
"By who?" Her voice was unusually quiet.
"By the same person that you were mot likely pulled to. Minato Sahashi." Yume blinked rapidly when she heard that name.
"The son of Takami." Miya smiled at Yume who was quick on the uptake.
"And I am not alone for that matter. He got already five more Sekirei with a sixth one on the way." Yume's head tolled but she focused again. Musubi came first now.
"My apologies, Miya but I couldn't care less about my upcoming Ashikabi. I need to find Musubi. That girl's as a lost as a goose in a snowstorm." Miya found it weird that for Yume, this Musubi was more important than her Ashikabi.
"Who is this Musubi girl?"
"You remember the Sekirei I saved a few years ago. This girl, she is like my little sister, number Eighty-Eight, Musubi. She wasn't pulled by Minato but I want to find her first. I took her with me."
That would explain a few things. Miya smiled at her.
"I see. Where did you lose this Musubi?"
"Here. In the Northern Part of the city. I swear. She was just there and." Miya paused her again.
"Relax. If she was lost here, we'll find her soon enough. No Ashikabi would be stupid enough to wing her here. If she is like you, she's spirited. We will find her soon enough. Matsu is still living here and she can track her." Yume felt her body calm down. Matsu was unrivaled by anything in regards of computers.
"How does she look?" Miya wondered how this Musubi would appear if Yume saw her as her little sister.
"Picture me with a Miko outfit and bigger tits. That's her." The Pillar looked at Yume's chest. The girl wasn't stacked like Kazehana or Uzume but she wasn't lacking in that department either.
"That makes things easier for Matsu." Miya looked up to the ceiling.
"Go look for Musubi. I'll wait here. When you're back, your Ashikabi would have returned." A tense moment passed as Yume waited and Miya giggled again.
"Don't worry. Minato is a lot of things but he won't wing any Sekirei that won't feel attracted to him." Yume smiled at Miya and went upstairs. Five Sekirei plus one on the way. That Minato kid was one powerful guy.
She ran up the stairs with Miya behind her. Looking around, she had no clue where to go. The simple thumb made it clear that she had to run the left. Knocking on the wall, the door was opened.
"Hey, Yume. Been a while." Matsu greeted her as she knew that Minato couldn't be reached for a while in the forest.
"Matsu. Short on time. Do me a favor. Find me Musubi. That girl is lost in this city." Matsu could only raise an eyebrow on that request. When the Wisdom Sekirei looked over her shoulder, Miya nodded at her.
Yume would explain it later to her.
"Okay. I'll trust you to tell me everything. How does this Musubi look?"
"You have to picture me with a Miko outfit. White with some streaks of red. Looks the same as me but has bigger breasts." Matsu chuckled as she had enough on that. MBI couldn't hack in the cameras of the city. Still, it might take some time. Damn, she wished that Minato was here to give her a boost.
Luckily, the North wasn't that large so she began to look.
"Eh, Yume. This girl, can she run from an Ashikabi?" The Sekirei of Fate nodded.
"Don't worry, she is a bit dim but she is really strong. If there is one Ashikabi that would lay a hand on her, she might kill that person on accident." The two could only look in the camera as the description that Yume gave was correct.
In the city.
Musubi had bumped into someone. On the ground, she had collided with a person. That young girl now laid on the floor.
"I'm so sorry. Are you all right?" Musubi asked in concern as she looked at the girl. On the ground was a girl, shorter than Musubi, with black hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a brown vest with a tie-on.
"I'm fine." The girl said as she took the hand of Musubi. Her eyes were glued to the knockers. What did that girl eat? How was she still standing? That bump was pretty harsh on her.
Musubi felt warm when she touched that hand. The girl looked up and it was like hunger set in the eyes.
"Who are you?" Musubi asked as she helped the girl back up.
"I'm Yukari. Yukari Sahashi." The eyes were still on the breasts of Musubi. Despite the outfit, they showed.
"I'm Musubi. I'm sorry but I have to go. I am looking for someone." Before she could leave, Yukari captured her hand.
Yukari felt weird. Like warm. And hot. To this girl. Who was she?
"Wait? I am also looking for someone. Do you have someplace to stay?" Musubi shook her head.
"No, I was supposed to be with Yume-sama but I got lost and I have to find her and I." before she could continue, she was tapped on her forehead.
"Relax. I am also looking for someone. But I am also looking for someone. Minato niichan. So how about this? You come with me and we'll look for them tomorrow. Okay?" Musubi wanted to protest but her stomach spoke. She was getting hungry.
"Okay." And together they left, their hands still intertwined.
Back in the Inn.
"Well, if that isn't Minato's little sister, I am an idiot," Matsu said as Miya had followed the scene. Minato might have mentioned her.
"That most likely will be the case. Musubi-chan mentioned that she could feel her own Ashikabi. Not as strong but if she is the sister of your Ashikabi, that might explain something." Yume relaxed. It was indeed getting late and she had no place to stay.
Sure, the city was large but they could meet up with Musubi later. So far, she was happy that her 'little sister' was safe.
"You can look for her tomorrow but now, I think you need to stay here. You can meet the others as well. I think they might like you. At least you know a few of who Minato winged."
Yume looked at Miya surprised. Her heart rate slowed down and she could feel at ease.
"That reminds me. You told me he winged five Sekirei. Who are my future sister wives?"
"He winged the entire First Discipline Squad save for Mutsu. Minato is friends with the Ashikabi though." Yume turned to Miya.
"He winged you, Matsu, Kazehana, and Karasuba? Holy hell. How did he do that?" Yume asked as she looked in shock.
"Let's just say that Mina-tan is good in bed. Like really good." Matsu said dreamily. She wanted to fuck her Ashikabi again soon. And drag a few along.
"Okay. Who else? That's just four. Who is the lucky number?" Yume continued.
"Seven. He winged Akitsu. And Uzume. Number Ten." Yume wiped her eyes.
"That Veiled Girl? I can see that. But wasn't Akitsu scrapped?" Matsu gave her a nod.
"It was possible because Mina-tan had to donate all his DNA in every hole. If you get my drift." Yume blinked several times and her blush set in. Oh, this was all good information.
"He did what?"
"Fuck in every hole. Yes, also the ass. Which reminds me that I want to get it there as well." Matsu blushed as Miya wacked her on the head. It sounded that this Minato was one great Ashikabi. But she could wait for that.
"Now if you don't mind, Miya. I will retire and see for myself if I want to be winged by this Minato. Now, do you have room to spare?"
The Pillar nodded and off Yume went. Matsu looked at her. "It looks like things are going to be more fun with her and that Musubi girl around."
"We're back." Miya smiled when she heard that and with Matsu in tow, they went downstairs. Minato was carrying the Green Girl in his arms and Miya was mesmerized by the beauty and cuteness of Kusano.
"Welcome back, Minato. Is that our newest resident?" The girl shifted in her sleep but still, she didn't wake up.
"Yes, this is Kusano. The girl I saw in my dream. But I don't think we can introduce you. She hasn't opened her eyes once."
Karasuba glared at the runt that was now in their Flock. Or soon to be. Kazehana and Uzume were already smitten with the girl.
When Minato heard her yawn, it was the time that Kusano opened her eyes. She would have panicked were it not for the fact that Minato carried her.
"Onii-chan." She said cutely. Switching her, Minato had her from underneath her arms.
"Hey there, Kusano. Had a nice nap?" She nodded as she looked at Minato. Then she looked around. This wasn't the garden. Where was she?
"Onii-chan. Where am I?" Minato smiled at her while Matsu had a heart attack on the way Kusano was around Minato.
"You're in the Izumo Inn." Shifting her, Kusano was now seated on his arm. "I carried you here. Well, me and my other Sekirei." Turning to the Sekirei, Minato eyed them.
"Everyone, could you please introduce yourself to Kuu-chan?" Miya was the first.
"Hello there, Kusano. I'm Miya. Miya Asama. I am also the owner of this Inn. Very nice to meet you." Kusano eyed Miya who looked ready to jump and take the little one.
"May I hold her?" Without waiting for an answer, Minato handed her to Miya. Kusano relaxed as she was carried.
"Hello." She said shyly.
"Take your time. You'll grow used to me in no time." Karasuba stood next to Miya. Minato would allow Miya to gut her if she wasn't careful with Kusano.
"Finally up, little one. I'm Karasuba. I was winged second by Minato. I hope you'll get along to me." She nodded and even one as jaded as Karasuba felt her heart melt when one as cute as Kusano was around her.
"I will. Nice to meet you, Kara-neechan." Karasuba put Kusano down as she walked to Minato.
"I still got some more Sekirei. You can sleep soon enough." When he yawned, the Sekirei chuckled. They were right behind him.
"This is Kazehana. She is my third Sekirei." Even at a biological age of eight, Kusano's eyes went to the chest of Kazehana. She was big indeed. So the soft sweater muffins were a great pillow.
"Hello, Kuu. I'm Sekirei Number Three Kazehana. Don't listen to what the flat chest told you. I'm happy to have a little sister to spoil." Kusano nodded and she smiled at Kazehana.
"Hello, Kaze-neechan." Uzume was barely able to contain herself.
"She's so cute! Neesan, give her to me!" Holding her the same way as Minato, an arm underneath her legs, Uzume looked at the little one.
"I'm Uzume, Sekirei Number Ten. I was winged as fourth by the goofball of an Ashikabi." She ruffled the hair and Kusano giggled. Then she was put down and Matsu knelt at her. The eyes shined at her. Kusano wasn't intimidated by her.
"I'm Matsu, Sekirei Number Two. Happy to meet you, Kusano-tan."
"Hello, Ma-chan." Before Kusano could leave, she was lifted from behind.
"I'm Sekirei Number Seven, Akitsu. I was winged as the last member by Minato-sama. It looks like we'll have a new one soon." Minato yawned when that was spoken.
"Yeah, but can that wait until tomorrow. Right now, I would like some rest. You don't mind, do you, Kuu-chan?" The Sekirei shook her head and she fell asleep, right on Akitsu's tits. Minato shook his head.
"I don't know about you all but it has been enough for one night." They would all follow him to a bed until he was stopped by Miya.
"Wait for a second, Minato-kun." The Ashikabi looked at his first Sekirei as Akitsu gave Kusano back to him.
"Yes, Miya?"
"There was a guest here. Does the name Yukari Sahashi ring a bell?" Minato nodded and he had a look of realization on his face.
"That is my little sister, why?" Miya could wake up Yume but knowing her, she was out like a light. It could wait until the morning. If she wanted the Inn to remain standing.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's something for later. I think we can all use some sleep first." And that decision was agreed on.
Minato had to wait before he found out about his new Sekirei.
And the adventure that his sister was now in.
I think it's good enough to close it off now. This was one ride. Parts of it were written while I was at the job. Others were done during the week where I didn't have to work. I also had the Division Two that occupied me.
This will occupy me a bit more in the coming days but I am also going to write. Next two updates.
IS and Sekirei Brave New World. There are two chapters that I would like to get done.
Which is going to be fun.
Saluut.
