Yo guys. It's been a while. Part comes to the job again and another part comes because of the site having issues. Those sucked. And something told me that during writing, we wouldn't be out of the mess.
I take that I'm not the only one who suffered from that.
If you guys are wondering why I'm ignoring my update list, that is because the beta author of Two Reasons had some personal reasons and the chapter got delayed until the next month or year if you take your pick. Hence why this chapter got updated before Two Reasons. The chapters of that fic will be updated in January. I have been writing for a while though and that is why I thought this fic could see an update.
So that is why maybe the update can be halted for this fic. Like the others as well.
With 410 favorites, we are past the 400 which is awesome. 44 more compared to the last time. And 433 followers means that I have 51 more followers. 75 reviews round those out. Four more. Thanks guys.
We are also over 100K. Did that last time but didn't notice.
Now for the guest reviews on that.
Curst on 17/08/2021. Thanks. I hope you have read "A Devil's Flock." I think that a lot of readers here will like that fic as well. If you are interested in that, let me know.
Guest on 05/11/2021. I had to look for that one myself when I was going over the guest reviews. September has ended a while ago. Glad you like that as well.

Minato woke up alone in the room. On the table, a note was left by his mother.
Hello, Minato. Sorry that I didn't stay over but I guessed you could use the rest. Thanks for taking care of me while I was sloshed. I can see how you are taking good care of your Sekirei.
I had to go out and see how things go. I'll be calling you soon.
He smiled when he read the note over twice. His mother was awesome. It was around nine so he had enough time to get home after a shower, get a few Sekirei to the meeting with Nishi and get back out.
Never a dull day in his life. Although, he was much happier with the Sekirei than alone. He did send a text to Matsu.
'Had to pick up my mum. I'll be home soon.' After a hot but short shower, the Ashikabi was drying his hair. When he saw the text back, he had already grinned.
'No worries. We expected that. You haven't forgotten about your meeting.'
No, Minato hadn't forgotten about that meeting. He knew also just who to pick along for that matter. It would be something fun.
Minato got two other texts. Both parties surprised him when he saw who notified him.
'Nii-san, I know where the café is where we are supposed to meet Nishi. I got one new Sekirei. She reacted to me and I saved her from a piece of shit. She's a bit shy but she is opening up. Her name is Yashima. I know it's harsh but I'll take her along with the meeting. Together with Mutsu.' Minato smiled when he read that.
Hayato was alright if he got through him.
'Good to hear that. I'll be taking two other Sekirei as well. Karasuba and Yume. If she reacted to you and you saved her, that's good. I'll see you at the café. If I pick something up from Matsu, you'll be the first to know.'
The second text came from Uzume. If she couldn't tell him about this, the girl would have a good reason for that.
'Minato, after your meeting, can I meet you at a location? I'll send you the gps coordinates. Let's say, four in the afternoon?'
'Sure. I hope that it won't take that long to meet Nishi.' After that, Minato walked back to the Inn. Would he always find Miya swiping the lawn when he did? That would be a good question.
"Hello, dear." She said and dropping her broom, she wrapped her arms around Minato while he lifted her up. The kiss was enough for him to feel his knees go weak and he remembered to stand on his two legs while Miya was hugging the life out of him.
"Sorry, I didn't come home last night." Minato told his Sekirei who smiled at him.
"I get that. You had a busy today. And it appears that they don't stop coming."
Minato hoped that things would calm down but it appeared they just wouldn't. He guessed that some date nights were in order to keep his flock happy. Or days.
Miya looked over her shoulder to the girls who had gathered in the hallway. Minato decided that it had been long enough for all of them. All Sekirei got their turn as Minato made their wings appear. When those were done, he turned his head to find Yukari, Musubi and Shiina standing out. The latter two with a grin on their faces while Musubi smiled back at them.
"Hello, Minato-san." He couldn't lie or deny, he liked the Miko Sekirei.
"Hello there, Musubi-chan. Hey, sis. Shiina." The male Sekirei nodded to his brother in law.
"Hello, Minato-san." Yukari had her hands on her hips while her grin got even more playful.
"Hey, nii-chan. How was mum?"
"Crazy. We really gotta figure out a way to either limit or stop her drinking. Either way, I am not staying around for long." Turning to the Flock, Kusano demanded to be lifted up which he gratefully did.
"I'm going to meet the Ashikabi of the West. Sanada Nishi. Now, from what I get, he got three Sekirei. I doubt that is really the case." Matsu moved her glasses up. Her time to shine had come.
"Indeed, Mina-tan. I have looked up the details. Nishi doesn't have three but six Sekirei. He can only handle the three because the other three can give Karasuba a run for her money in terms of bloodlust." That could give problems.
Nishi might be a delinquent or at least, rough guy but he wouldn't be stupid. That would make his choice who he would take along a whole lot easier.
"Yume, Kara-chan, can I ask your assistance on this regard?" The remaining Sekirei were surprised on the pickings. Kazehana took the news better because of her day before. The same could be said about the Thunder Twins.
Uzume shared a look with her Ashikabi and she could keep quiet about it. This was to close something off.
The same couldn't be said about Akitsu who looked dejected about it, she did understand though. It was something that couldn't be avoided. Matsu found it all good given the fact that she didn't like to be outside.
Kusano pouted and clawed at his face.
"That's not fair. Why do Yume-chan and Kara-chan be the ones who go play with onii-chan?" Minato had patience but he had to deal with this. He removed Kusano from his face and a strict look told her that message.
"Kusano, we are not going out for a friendly visit. Things can go bad. I do not want you near that when I can help it. Am I understood?" She was about to open her mouth until she felt the hands of Miya encircling her.
She did not want to make the landlady angry.
"You heard your Ashikabi, Kuu-chan." Looking over the Flock, he decided that he had to keep their spirits high.
"I understand that the days have been a bit restless. I'll be sure to make it up for all of you. I'll think of a schedule that is fair. But for now, I have to make sure that the West plays via our tune. Be on standby though." And after a session of kisses, Minato let with his two Sekirei.
"So Minato, who else are we meeting?" Yume asked who had her arms around one of Minato. Karasuba was right next to him. It was somewhat amusing to see her like that.
"Hayato and I made an appointment with the Ashikabi of the West. We are going to meet in a local pub." The Black Sekirei turned with a smirk to her Ashikabi.
"So why did you ask me and Yume?"
"I need you to make sure that the other Sekirei play nice. If Nishi can barely control them, you are going to instill fear in them. I think that he might try some ploy so that is why. And." Karasuba found that she wasn't sure if that small smile infuriated or excited her. Probably both.
"You want to stretch your legs. I give you permission but don't Terminate them. Just beat them in submission."
Karasuba felt nice on that. Now, she thought about it. It had been a few weeks since she had a good fight. Might be Minato's touch to her.
"Glad to know that." Karasuba said while she walked closer to Minato.
"Why did you take me with you in that case, Minato?" Yume asked while Minato found that she was similar to Musubi on that regard.
"You are the only one, sides myself and Miya who can keep Kara-chan down. And when Nishi wants to talk, we can figure out a way for that. Good cop," Minato ruffled her hair to which she cooed.
"Bad cop." He didn't try to ruffle Karasuba's hair but putting a hand on her shoulder, he knew where to touch to send shivers down her spine.
Ten minutes before ten, they were at the pub. A limo pulled up right next to him. Hayato got out with Mutsu who simply waved at the three others while another girl appeared. Minato wondered where she was putting such a huge weapon as her hammer.
Short, light brown hair to the neck with blue ribbons. Her grey eyes were distrustful looking at Minato but when she saw the extended hand and friendly smile of Hayato, she relaxed a bit.
Her white grown stuck to her and Minato found she looked really cute. It had blue and black accents. The headband was blue but the remaining bits, stockings, boots and gloves were black.
"You can drive the car back. I'll get home myself." The driver wasn't Mutsu who joined his former partner.
The younger Ashikabi smiled while he ran over to Minato.
"Nii-san!" The shout was friendly and Minato greeted his high five.
"Hey there, Hayato. Nice on time."
"Nothing sucks more than waiting on a tardy team member. Play by the rules you want others to play by." A real gamer while Minato leant back. Karasuba got closer to him and she whispered something in his ear.
The nodding gave her a grin that made Hayato wonder what was going on. Karasuba flew off and Minato knew that he had to inform Hayato about it.
"Nishi got more Sekirei than we initially thought. Karasuba is going to make sure that we are not in for a nasty surprise." Hayato looked back at him.
"Why didn't you tell me that?"
"I only found that out today. Got real busy yesterday." Hayato grinned back at Minato. While only six years younger, he was now on the age of appreciating the female form.
Although. His thoughts also went to Mutsu.
"Guess so. By the way, Nii-san, I would like to meet you my newest Sekirei, Yashima. Yashima, this is Minato Sahashi. Ashikabi of the North." The girl bowed to him.
"Pleased to meet you." Minato said while Yashima got quiet.
"Sorry, she is not used to strangers. I saved her from an Ashikabi." The thought of that creep made her shudder while she felt the arms of Hayato around her. She felt warm. Safe. Secure.
A small smile covered her but the blush got to epic proportions when she felt the kiss on her cheek.
"That's how it should be done. So Hayato, that are seven Sekirei. Not bad." The young man smiled back at him and he would have continued to brag until they heard a motorcycle. Minato could feel Karasuba around. From what he got, she was having fun.
On a motorcycle drove the guy in.
How he could drive with three Sekirei was beyond him but Minato was glad that he sent Karasuba ahead.
Sanada was easily on his height and he was lean with some muscles on him. The black hair was unruly. The whole thing just screamed "biker attitude." He certainly dressed the part. A black leather jacket with trousers in the same color. A white skull on the belt and the dark leather gloves finished the outfit.
Currently, they were being used to pull down his goggles.
"So just going to ask? Are you supposed to be Minato Sahashi and Hayato Mikogami? You certainly don't look the part of Ashikabi of the North and South." Hayato was going to shout back at him but felt Minato's hand on his shoulder.
"Sanada Nishi, I presume?" The biker nodded back at Minato.
"Yes. I am glad to meet you two. You said you wanted to discuss something?" Minato nodded back at him but his eyes circled around. He could feel the bloodlust from Karasuba seeping in.
Nishi rolled a cigarette while Minato and Hayato met him halfway.
"Before we discuss this in the pub, could you be so kind to call of your other Sekirei?" Nishi wasn't outdone by that.
"What do you mean?" His eyes circled back to his bike. Three cute Sekirei sat up. Minato guessed they would be great playmates for Kusano. They had some cute clothing though and two were dark skinned.
"Those are all I have." Minato's eyes went up and there, flying was Karasuba. It looked like she was carrying three forms with her.
The Black Sekirei remembered Minato's message. Be rough but don't kill them. She landed next to her Ashikabi.
"Man, it's great being out in the field. Thanks, Minato." She raised the three Sekirei. Sanada gulped when his eyes landed on the assailant.
Karasuba, Number Four.
"I have sent Karasuba ahead to stop anything unwanted. Now, can we talk about this?" Sanada wrapped a hand in front of his face while he laughed softly.
"Oh, this is rich. Here I come to think that you are here to take me out, turns out that you do me a favor?" Sanada went to look right at Karasuba.
"Thank you for that. I have no idea on how to handle them and the beating you gave them, might stop them for a bit." The Black Sekirei wasn't expecting that. Minato was the next one to be surprised.
"I love them to bits but I have no way to control them. Or barely." He leant in closer to Minato to whisper something in his ear.
"How do you do that?"
"Screw them silly." He whispered and he stood back to Sanada.
"Now, can we talk like civilized?" Hayato paused as the humans were pretty much outnumbered.
"Beings?" The grin was shared by Sanada and the three others of his Flock.
"Sure. Lead the way." Minato opened the door to let all Sekirei and Ashikabi in. Karasuba was still carrying the three unconscious Sekirei. His knowing grin told her that there would be a great reward for her actions. She could barely wait until that time.
The place was deserted save for one patron.j He barely looked up to the group and so the largest table was chosen. A round one where the three Ashikabi took a seat.
"Okay, I am listening." Sanada said as he crossed his arms. Minato leant forward to the biker.
"Nishi. You control the entire West side of the city. Same as I do in the North and Hayato does in the South. I don't want to take part in this damned game. Same with you, right Hayato?"
"Correct, Nii-san. This game sucks. But we can't tap out that easily. Pretty much in gaming standards. We have to play this coop. Not dead match." Minato smirked on the term. They heard the snort from Nishi.
"I have to agree with you, fellas. Don't want to lose my cuties." The three cooed from that noise while Minato found that he could work with this.
"So what do you have in mind? I don't like to take orders." His eyes went to Karasuba.
"Although I know when I'm outmatched. I listen to what you have to say, Sahashi." The Ashikabi of the West leant forward.
"Me and Hayato got an alliance. How you run your place is your call. The only three rules I have are these. No forced winging."
"Don't worry cause I got my hands full on those six. Go on."
"No needless violence. Someone takes a punch at you. Fine. But don't go looking for fights. We might got more than one Sekirei but we aren't invincible." Nishi knew of the fights. There was always one tougher guy out there.
"Three. We work in a group. So far, Hayato. What are the games rules?"
The boy smirked at the two others.
"We have to wait until 90% of all Sekirei are winged. I hate to say but we three already got what? 25%?"
"25%? Isn't that exaggerating?" Sanada asked and Hayato shook his head.
"Nope. You got six, I got seven, Nii-san got ten, and his little sister has two herself. It is rough math but 25 isn't bad." Sanada smirked when he heard that.
"No, that isn't bad indeed. So what you ask of me is that if I obey those rules, we work together." Minato crossed his arms when he looked back at Sanada.
"I don't try to lay down the law. That is not what I do. But I don't want to lose my Sekirei. Neither do you. We work together and fight as a group. If we get more Ashikabi to join our cause, we got a chance of destroying this game from the inside out." Nishi found that one good plan.
"Devious. Dangerous. Dodgy. I like it." He reached in his breast pocket.
"I was expecting something like this. Hence why I got something myself." Standing up, he walked to Minato. The object proved to be a photo.
A photo of a handsome young man. But the eyes. Those eyes were that of a demon.
"Izumi Higa. Ashikabi of the East. Had a skirmish with him recently. Left when the fight got too much. Controls the West and nearly over a dozen Sekirei."
Minato motioned to Hayato to join them. The boy joined the two others and he was sure that Nishi was right.
"How did you get this, Nishi?" Minato asked and the biker smirked.
"I was a banchou back in my day. Got all sort of friends who own me all sorts of favors." There was more to this guy than just his tough attitude, Minato guessed. This guy could prove to be a useful source of information.
"I am not sure but if you have me playing on your team, I doubt that he wants to play with you two." Both Ashikabi glared back at him.
"Don't worry," Hayato said.
"We got our own fights with him." Minato finished for him. Sanada saw their looks. In his eyes, they looked like a college drop out and a rich spoiled kid but in war, you couldn't be choosy.
"That makes things easier. So if we control Three of the Four areas of the city, MBI in the middle, and the guy in the East, your suggestion is that we keep low until we figure out what the next step is."
Sanada was sharp as well.
"Correct. We wait and when we have something new, we let the others know. If we pull together, we got a good shot." Minato said and Nishi scratched his cheek. He looked at his Sekirei. He wanted them to have something normal.
And those guys could provide that for him.
"Okay, your rules are agreeable and the benefits far outweigh the costs. I do have a request though to you, Sahashi?" Minato wondered what that could be.
"Can I call you aniki?" Minato swore that he heard Karasuba and Yume snort.
"He calls you Nii-san, you are older and stronger than me and I got old habits that die hard. So can I call you aniki?"
The Northern Ashikabi pondered on that for a second. He was getting called big brother by several people. Kusano, Yukari, Hayato and now this guy? It would be fine for him.
"If you insist. Than I say fine by me." He saw the extended hand of Sanada. Minato knew what he wanted. What he didn't expect was that the back of Sanada's hand was taken by Hayato.
The youngest had a strange look on his face
"I'm also in this." Sanada barked a laugh while Minato chuckled. Yeah, they would get along just fine. All of them.
Scene skip
Later on, Nishi drove off with his Sekirei. His cuties as he called them on his bike while the other three flew off. He really would keep the suggestion of Minato in mind.
Hayato was taken by Mutsu and they flew back to his house. Minato looked back at his clock. He was closer to the location that Uzume sent him through and going back to the Inn would be a waste. He offered an arm to both Karasuba and Yume.
"Let's find a cozier place and have some fun." Both Yume as Karasuba saw that as a very good idea. And as luck would have it, there would a love hotel nearby where they could retire. And so Minato found himself again in a bedroom with two girls.
Good thing they didn't use the same one as the ones with the twins. It might be bad if the same old man was there to watch them go in.
Karasuba and Yume had more patience than the twins or Uzume, Kazehana and Matsu. They waited until he closed the door before latching onto his mouth. Yume did while Karasuba's hand traveled south to his pants. The unbuckling of the pants was all too easy.
She smirked when she saw Minato standing at attention. He really wasn't normal.
Not that Karasuba complained. Her mouth etched on his dick while Minato moaned in Yume's mouth. He wanted to complain but with his mouth occupied, that was very much out of the question.
Karasuba sucked and sucked more on his dick and it was only because of Yume that Minato could stand up. They really knew each other well. She could feel how Minato stirred in her while Yume undressed her Ashikabi. He let himself go limp while the Sekirei moved him over.
When his arms went up, Yume began to lick on his chest and over his muscles. Minato really began to grow out his muscles. Karasuba's mouth occupied most of him but her hands weren't sitting still either. Some of her fingers were used to get relief as she felt a familiar warmth building up in her loins.
They could only buy some relief. Minato's hands were the only thing that could sooth her. Looking back up, Minato felt how Yume was occupying one of his hands. She was soaked as well. Weird that she was looking forward to this so much.
It hadn't been that long since Minato had claimed her as a woman. Yet, she was already looking forward to this. Minato would be all too happy to provide for her.
When Karasuba was done with him. And given how she was working him over like a pro, it wouldn't take long before Minato reached his peak. He came in Karasuba's mouth who eagerly swallowed down his load.
When Karasuba let him go, she smiled back at him. Like a dog who had done a great job. Minato squatted down to her and when she felt the kiss, she smiled. It was surprisingly chaste and peaceful.
"You don't care about the fact that half of my mouth tasted like you?" Karasuba teased her Ashikabi who could only smile. Ruffling her hair, he moved it back and pressed a kiss on her forehead.
"I love you, Karasuba. Don't care about anything else." An incessant cough made it all too clear they were not here alone.
Yume clearly looked impatient and she was eager to start on her own fun with her Ashikabi.
"This is all touching but can we have this?" In the few moments between that, she had stripped. Minato's mouth went dry when he watched her form. She looked so damn awesome naked and she was more than ready for this.
"Let's move this to the bed though. I can use a mattress though for this one." Karasuba agreed with Minato. And they could have more fun there. Yume went first and she was wiggling her shapely ass in front of him. While Musubi might have bigger tits, her waist and hips were the same. And this was clear here. Minato touched her underneath and he could feel how much she was leaking.
"Minato, please…," she panted at him.
"Please what?" He loved to tease his Sekirei every once in a while.
"Please fuck me!" Karasuba was glad she was here because it would be uncanny of Yume to curse. She had to tell the others.
Or hold it over her head.
"As you wish." When he found her pussy, Minato didn't waste time. He savored the feeling of sliding in her pussy but he wasn't going full throttle at once. Inch by inch, he slid in her as Yume was feeling his heat.
She moaned out his name while Minato kept himself quiet. Or at least, he tried. There were groans that escaped his mouth. Karasuba laid down like a giant cat and watched the scene of Minato fucking her.
It was some sort of torture but for some reason, Karasuba didn't mind it one bit. She frankly enjoyed the feeling when she watched Minato.
Was she a cuck? She doubted it. Too much pride in her body. Was she a masochist? Most likely, yes.
Still, it didn't stop the feeling of watching Yume getting plowed from behind by Minato. Both were nearly lost in their world as she could feel Minato slamming home. Her mind went to butter when Minato was piercing her womb.
A loud moan escaped her but she remained still for the other part. Looking back, Minato's hand explored her backside and ass. She was really liking the feeling of his soft, large hands on her hips while he stood before her.
She looked over her shoulder and nodded to him.
"You can move now. Gently." Minato got the message and with slow but powerful thrust, he moved with her. Yume moved her body with Minato and she found that it was clearly one of the best feelings. She was getting so full of him and yet, it was something that she really enjoyed of him. Minato was more than happy to provide that for her.
He himself found that she had a great body and Yume could move her body in a very good manner. She really know how to use it while her hips smashed back at him. When Minato would pull out, he went back in her while Yume moaned his name.
"Minato-sama." Were all Sekirei going to call him like that? She could only slam back at him while they enjoyed their time. He reached in and grabbed her boobs. Yume found that it was great. Turning her head, her mouth was drooling and it was all too clear that she wanted a kiss. Eager and stumbling, Minato pressed on her, hard!
Yume's eyes shot open when she felt the kiss. The influx of hormones and the feeling of her Norito was also shining through them. Her wings embraced the two of them.
It was energy that Minato found hitting him while her warmth was engulfing the two of them. Eventually, the wings disappeared but their kiss remained the same. Yume felt happy. Fulfilled. Satisfied. Gratified.
She had never thought that she would get an Ashikabi but yet, here she was. It might be a position that was a bit embarrassing but Yume had surrendered herself to Minato. It was the best feeling that she had.
For Minato, her reactions were adorable when he found her body colliding with his. He had no real clue on where to touch first. Her breasts, her thighs, her ass. There was so many places where he wanted to touch. It became faster and harder while their moves became more erratic. She wanted release.
Yume's high was reached and the only thing that was needed to come down. Her muscles clamped down on his dick. A breathless scream echoed through the room as Minato came in her. He filled her as his own release came with a shock. Yume collapsed on the sheets.
Rolling over, she couldn't be looking any sexier. Her cheeks flushed, her mouth open, her figure heaving while the cum ran out of her pussy. Minato knelt over and pressed a loving kiss on her lips. They would have stayed like that if they didn't hear a cough. Their faces met Karasuba who began to look more and more impatient.
"I'm glad you are having a moment, Yume. But now, I'd like it if our Ashikabi could focus on me." They might be the only ones that could laugh at Karasuba and walk away from that.
Yume scooted over so that Karasuba could lay on the middle of the bed. Before she could even move, Minato pinned her to the mattress.
"Missionary? Really?"
"I don't think it's important what position you are in. You'll be seeing stars." If they had more time, Minato would have taken her in the ass but he found that harsh was something that Karasuba wanted.
So he slammed his entire cock inside of her at one go.
"Mina." Before she could finish that line, Minato had shut off her mouth while his hips took a fast and brutalizing pace that caused Karasuba to gulp while Minato fucked her as fast and hard as he could.
Yume saw how Karasuba's legs wrapped around him but they could do little to stop him. Yume would find it funny. Well, Minato really could play the tune that every girl required of him. She wished that she took a camera. But she would burn this image of Karasuba on her internal hard drive.
The silverette felt her mind-melting from the actions of Minato. He was going at it so fast and hard that she wasn't even sure if this was the same meek guy that blushed like a schoolboy when Kazehana flashed him.
No, this was a man. The most ironic part was that he delivered on Karasuba's wishes instead of his own. Her eyes rolled back while Minato was doing his best to keep her off her toes. She couldn't move. His moves were fast but irregular; it was impossible for her hips to match his.
So she laid back and let Minato have her way with him. Oh, she could feel pleasure building inside her already.
Minato wasn't saying anything although his breathing made it clear to her that he was feeling this as much as she was. Her body, slender and trained, meshed with his, scrawny and long. Yet, despite that, it was only giving her more of the pleasure.
She was dying many sweet and little deaths at the same time. Yet, the slapping of flesh on flesh made it all too clear how much she felt the body. Minato clearly knew what he was doing. Why her face didn't betray any reactions, her body did.
Minato was doing something right.
Karasuba's hands slipped away and she grabbed his head. Minato half expected to get thrown away by her. The opposite happened.
A kiss set in and it was nearly chaste. Just the soft lips of Karasuba, pressing on his. It hadn't taken long before she could feel the ball of pleasure hitting her all the more.
Karasuba wanted to come. To get off. She wanted release. Minato kept her on the edge for long enough. She knew exactly what he was doing and found that he was getting better and better at this. So she held on, letting Minato play this little game. And she wouldn't beg.
She was an M but she wouldn't get her pride tarnished. She wouldn't beg Minato to get her off. When she bit in his neck, Minato lost his control over her but yet, Karasuba didn't slip out of him but she needed one more push that she got.
Her orgasm was a tidal wave that slid over her body. She laid her head back while Minato filled her to the brim with his cum. He felt a bit winded from the whole experience but not as tired. Unlike them, Karasuba nearly slipped into unconsciousness while Yume stretched back. She grabbed Minato and pressed a kiss on his cheek.
"That was so good. Thanks, Minato-kun." He calmly smiled and gave her a kiss back. "You're welcome."
"I think the girls are right. You really do have a magical touch." The blush set in bigger and here was the shy schoolboy again.
"Glad you think so." His look went to Karasuba and he sighed.
"I have to go," Minato announced and Yume understood that Minato was a man requested by many.
"I see. Don't worry about it. I'm going to nap and I'll get Kara-chan home." Yume was also tired from the fucking. And the situation before that.
Minato walked out of the room while Karasuba and Yume remained sleeping on the bed. Both of them were exhausted from the lovemaking. Checking his clock, it was now two in the afternoon. Time plenty to meet the girl.
There was still some suspicion. He wondered why she couldn't say the location but had sent coordinates. When he gave them in, he found that they were leading him to a cemetery. Not the likely dating spot but it was something that his Sekirei asked of him and being a crappy Ashikabi was not on his mind.
So when he decided that taking the metro was the best course of action, Minato boarded the train. His mind was racing why Uzume wanted to meet him there. When he got there, it was half-past two. While he could be patient, there was another part of him that wasn't going to waste time.
'Uzume,-chan, I'm at the location. I'm a bit early. Can I meet you there?' It took fifteen minutes before she replied.
'Sure. I'm on my way. I'll meet you there.' He wondered how long she would take until he saw her flying. She didn't waste her time by latching onto his mouth and pressing a loving kiss on his lips. His hands settled on her waist. When she let go, she couldn't meet his gaze.
"Uzume-chan, any reason why you wanted to meet here? Not my idea of a dating spot." She pressed a finger on his lips.
"Well, there is a particular reason why. Could you follow me?" Minato followed his Sekirei while they passed by the graves. Eventually, they landed on one right next to a name of "Takehito Asama." There were flowers and it was in a better shape than most. Next to it was one where the name "Chiho Hidaka" was engraved.
A photo of a girl, a bit younger than himself, with long hair was also shown.
"Miya helped me pay for the funeral when I found her dead that morning. She kept me from winging myself on her." Uzume answered the question that was etching on his lips. Why she wanted him to meet here.
"I would have loved you to meet her, Minato." Minato pressed the girl closer to him and she could feel his presence.
"I'll ask you the same question again. Do you regret becoming my Sekirei?" Uzume shook her head as she felt the tears stinging. She would be ungrateful if she said that she did
"I do not. I just." A quiet sob fought its way out. Minato kept her closer. Uzume wouldn't want to escape. This hurt. This hurt more than she actually wanted it.
"I want a full circle. An ending. A closed off-book. One last time." He understood and he didn't say anything else. Minato agreed with her. He would have loved to meet Chiho.
"I do not regret it. Not for one second. I just wanted." She sobbed and cried on his shoulder. Minato didn't let her go while he kept her close to him. Uzume buried herself on him. She cried and cried. The words that she never spoke to Chiho would have given her a life of maybe something.
"You can't forget her. And you don't have to." Pressing a kiss on her forehead, Uzume looked at him. His eyes were calm and shining at her.
Uzume could see the sheer love that Minato had for her. For her sisters. For everyone.
"I am glad I met you, Uzume-chan. I am glad that I met all of you." She sobbed on his shoulder again and she couldn't meet his gaze again.
"I'm sorry," Uzume told him.
"For what?"
Now, she could look him in the eye. There were tears in her eyes.
"I knew you had a lot in the last few days. Yet, my selfish request to." He pressed a finger on her lips like she did a few minutes ago.
"There is nothing selfish to this. You had someone you loved before me. I don't think that is wrong. You will grieve for Chiho and mourn her. Like Miya does for Takehito-san." Uzume nodded to his shoulder.
"You are a good guy, Minato." She felt his arms around her back. It was funny that while he was a Human and she was a Sekirei, there was such a sense of security. He would be her rock.
"If I was, you wouldn't be hurt from this." She latched on his lips while she felt his warmth.
"I have to heal from this myself. Thank you, Minato." After paying his respect to two people he would have loved to meet, Minato scooped Uzume up and carried her back to the Inn. She was exhausted from this feeling and Minato found no reason to stop his carry. There was much more.
It were a two exhausting and rocky days. He would think that the coming dates could give him some ease for the coming ones.
Minato did accomplish a lot though. He got another Ashikabi to work with him, his mother was fine, his latest Sekirei settled in and he kept them happy.
And if there was more coming in later, Minato could take care of that when the days came.
And here we end this chapter. A bit shorter though but I had some other things settling in.
This was done faster than I would have guessed but I take what I get.
I also turned 26 writing this chapter. Can't do much cause the world is going on lockdown again. Looks like we are in for another year of BS.
Next up is IS and Sekirei Brave New World. See you guys there.
Saluut.
