A/N: This chapter shows why this story has an M rating. There are no lemons but there are sexual situations. In other news I want to thank everyone for the reviews and the advice as such the number of Sekirei have been reduced from 29 to 17. This is a manageable number I think. (someone will disagree)

I know this decision will likely anger some people but hey writers can't please everyone. We can try but at the end of day someone is always going to not like what we have written.

Minato new Sekirei are as follows.

Miya

Matsu

Uzume

Akitsu

Homura

Karasuba

Kazehana

Kochou

Yashima

Yume

Musubi

Taki

Yukari

Takami

Kusano

Fem Shiina

Tsukiumi

I removed the Lighting Twins because there are many fics about them, and Miya and Karasuba together in a harem is a rare thing.

Also in case there is any confusion about the timeline. The first four or five chapters take place roughly four to five years before the start of the tournament. Minato hacking MBI may have caused Minaka to move up the start of the tournament.

And with that out of the way. Here we go

The first couple of weeks of living with Minato proved interesting to both Miya and Matsu has they tried everything to resist the urge to wing themselves to Minato. Miya resisted through sheer determination and restraint while Matsu masturbated to calm herself. One time Matsu even tried to sneak in on Minato while he was in the bath but Miya threatened to throw her out of the Inn if she ever winged herself to him. That seemed to keep the perverted Sekirei in check, it's a shame that Miya couldn't use the same threat on herself.

Miya swept the back porch of any leaves that fell from the tree thankful that Minato is taking the entrance exam for Shinto Teito University. For the past week he's been studying everything he can that Miya even found him asleep in the dining room, not wanting to wake him Miya covered him with a blanket and left to her room. The reason Miya didn't want to Minato is because it meant touching him, Miya could resist the call from a distance but when it came to physical contact Miya has to use all of her willpower to not kiss him and emerge. A knock coming from the front door drew Miya's attention, putting away the broom Miya walked to the entrance and opened the door to see a man holding a tablet and several large packages behind him.

"I have several deliveries for a Mrs. Raven." The man told Miya.

"She is currently out running an errand." Miya lied to the delivery man, "I can however sign for the packages."

"Thanks," the man said before handing Miya the tablet that she signed and gave back to the man who thanked her and helped Miya take the large packages inside into the dining room before Miya told him he could go. Miya saw the way the man looked at her and recognized the look, it's the look that all men give her whenever she goes out to get supplies or to restock the fridge, a look of wanting and lust. Miya called for Matsu that her packages has arrived after the delivery man left and the redhead came strolling down the stairs and entered the dining room.

"I trust you ordered some clothes?" Miya asked when she saw Matsu wearing a black tank top and miniskirt, she knew that Matsu is wearing the basics of the Discipline Squad uniform as Miya asked Matsu to not wear the entire uniform in Izumo Inn, it reminded her too much of her time at MBI and a side she wanted to forget.

"I ordered some dresses that I think Minato will like," Matsu said with a grin that earned her a wooden spoon to the head.

"No indecent thoughts are allowed in Izumo Inn." Miya said with a small smile while she held the wooden spoon in front of her.

"Like you haven't thought about looking good for him." Matsu responded getting another smack to the head.

"I'll help you carry these to your room." Miya said putting the wooden spoon away and grabbed two boxes. Matsu followed suite and stacked three before carrying them up to her room. Miya noticed that Matsu had grown bolder in her teasing of her and Miya's reaction to Minato. Entering the hidden room Miya set the boxes down as did Matsu who immediately opened one of the boxes and pulled out a computer monitor.

"What are you planning on doing?" Miya asked curious.

"I can't rely on my laptop forever." Matsu said setting the monitor on the table against the far wall before grabbing another monitor. "I need a better setup if I'm going to keep an eye on MBI and the outside."

"I see; I trust you didn't use MBI funds to purchase this equipment?" Miya asked.

"Relax, I used a secret account that I set up four years ago. I knew that when I left MBI I would need funds to survive." Matsu explained.

"I'll leave you to it," Miya said before leaving the room but stopped in the doorway. "You'll be paying for the increase in electricity." Miya told Matsu getting the redhead to frown before leaving to prepare lunch. Miya finished repairing lunch when she felt the same heat she feels whenever Minato is near, gripping the tabletop Miya took several deep breaths to calm herself just in time as she heard the front door open and close.

"Afternoon Miya," Minato said upon entering the kitchen. Turning around Miya saw him wearing a tan long sleeve that he wore when she first saw him, in her opinion it suited him.

"Afternoon Minato," Miya responded with a small smile. "How did the exam go?" she asked while setting out lunch and calling for Matsu to come down.

"The exam went well," Minato said while helping Miya set out lunch. By the time they finished Matsu came down wearing one of her new dresses. Matsu wore a cream colored dress that resembled a Chinese cheongsam, the dress has been modified with detached sleeves and has a long slit running up both sides of the dress to the hip showing off Matsu's legs. The dress also has a diamond shaped hole in the front of the dress giving a teasing view of Matsu's breasts. Matsu also changed her hairstyle letting it loose and now has side plaits. Miya saw Minato give Matsu an approving glance that he quickly hid but Matsu saw it and smiled causing a small spike of jealousy to rise in the Miya.

Miya quickly pushed the feeling down and focused on Minato.

"The questions on the exam weren't that hard," Minato said talking with Matsu as he ate. "Thanks for the tutoring Matsu."

Matsu blushed at the complement, "you didn't need that much of my help." Matsu said hiding a small smile by drinking tea. "You're already smart and confident, I'm sure that test proved no challenge to you." Matsu told Minato getting Miya to frown slightly.

"Confidence is important in taking any kind of test." Miya spoke up getting Minato to look at her and receiving a smirk from Matsu that Miya ignored.

Two Years later

Miya stood still in the backyard with her eyes closed, in her right hand she held a katana that Takehito had gifted her. Miya several deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself, for the past two years she's been in hell living with Minato along with Matsu. Miya had done everything she can to ignore the call to wing herself to Minato and she's somewhat successful, the only thing she dreaded is going to sleep. Her dreams have been very sexual to the point that Miya wakes up every morning wet and horny that she's been masturbating to ease the feeling and it helps somewhat. Matsu is even worse off than Miya, the only reason Matsu hasn't winged herself to Minato yet is the ever present threat of being kicked out by Miya.

Miya discovered that practicing her sword forms calms the inferno within her so every day she practiced, between practicing her sword forms and masturbating Miya has been able to keep the inferno within her relativity calm somewhat. Miya opened her eyes and quickly drew her sword and slashed in front of her cutting a leaf in half before shifting into a fight stance and began fighting an imaginary opponent.

"You leave your side open when you strike." Miya stopped and tried to calm her heart when she heard Minato's voice. Turning around Miya saw Minato leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed. Over the past two years Minato had grown more handsome, he kept in shape and now has a noticeable stubble that Miya had to admit suited him and she couldn't help but wonder how they would feel against her skin, more specifically between her legs. Mentally shaking her head Miya sheathed her sword.

"Do you practice?" Miya asked gesturing to the sword in her hand.

"Yes, my parents made sure to teach me what they knew before they passed." Minato said uncrossing his arms. Miya knew that his parents died at a young age and that he was raised by his uncle and aunt. "Do you any bokken?" Minato asked.

"Yes," Miya said gesturing to the small weapons rack on the side of the house holding various bokken. Miya walked to the rack and put down her sword and grabbed a bokken of the same length and going back to her previous position while she waited for Minato. Miya had to take another deep breath as Minato passed by her holding two bokkens, Miya raised an eyebrow at this but didn't question it as everyone has a unique style when it comes to fighting. Miya held her bokken with two hands and shifted into a fight stance, she knew that she would have to hold back. Minato meanwhile switched holding the handles so he held the swords in reverse, this threw Miya off as he never seen someone hold swords like that.

Both stood still facing each other, Miya could tell from the way Minato held the bokkens and his stance that he's skilled and Miya wanted to find out so she made the first move. Rushing in Miya opened with a thrust that Minato countered with his right bokken and swung his left at her that Miya dodged by backing away and rushing in again this time swinging her bokken at his side that Minato dodged and swung both bokken at Miya which she blocked. Miya pushed Minato back to regain her posture, she looked at Minato with a new outlook. 'His parents taught him well,' she thought to herself before Minato rushed her.

Miya blocked another strike from Minato and had to duck as Minato did a roundhouse, taking advantage of the opening Miya swung upward but Minato dodged by doing a backflip. Miya struck once again not wanting to give Minato the advantage, Miya and Minato locked bokkens with each other. Miya moved her sword in a circular motion knocking one of Minato's bokken out of his hand, Miya smiled slightly but quickly disappeared when Minato went on the offensive. Miya blocked another strike but felt a light jab hit her in the side, Minato had taken advantage of her opening and struck her in the side getting Miya to smile. The fight went on for about thirty minutes as both fighters are panting and sweating, Miya gripped the handle of the bokken tighter before rushing Minato again. Minato blocked the attack before bringing his bokken to Miya's neck, Minato smiled before he felt something against his chest, looking down he saw Miya's bokken against his chest. Miya has a smile that made Minato smile in return getting Miya's heart to pick up.

Suddenly the sound of clapping drew both their attention, looking for the source both Miya and Minato saw Matsu sitting on the back porch with a laptop sitting on her lap. The redhead slowly clapping getting Miya and Minato to lower their bokkens and back away from each other.

"That was fun," Minato said still smiling that nearly shattered Miya's self-control as she wanted to kiss him.

"Your style is unique." Miya told Minato honestly after getting her emotions back under control, "your parents taught you well."

"Thank you," Minato said to her. "You're pretty good. Just focus on not exposing your side when you block." He advised her before getting the other bokken that Miya knocked out of his hand and returned them to the rack before leaving to take a shower.

"Did you go easy on him?" Matsu asked honestly curious after Minato left.

"At first," Miya said before putting away her bokken. "I didn't even know when I stopped," she said while grabbing her katana and thinking back to Minato's smile that made her smile again and her heart rate pick up.

"Why are you torturing yourself?" Matsu asked closing her laptop to look at Miya. Wondering why the older Sekirei is refraining from emerging. Matsu knew that Miya is suffering just like she is but she has her toys to help her ease the tension when she needs it.

"I told you Matsu."

"You don't want him involved," Matsu said remembering what Miya told her two years ago. "We just saw that he can defend himself." Matsu said before getting off the floor to head back to her room.

Miya wanted to wing herself to Minato but she couldn't put him in the center of Minaka's crazy game and if she were to emerge than MBI will be interested in finding out who made her emerge. That in turn will put Minato and her in the spotlight and she swore neutrality when Takehito asked her to marry him. Miya sighed as she went back inside to begin making dinner, she hoped to be done by the time Minato is done with his shower. Miya couldn't help but imagine Minato in the bath with the water running down his muscles and over his frame, biting her lip Miya felt the heat flow through her again. Sighing in frustration Miya went to her room and undid the sash letting the cloth fall to the floor along with the rest of her robes leaving her in her underwear.

Miya reached into her panties and began playing with herself as she thought of Minato in the shower, she imagined Minato scrubbing himself with soap. As her imagination took off Miya fell to her knees as her knees gave out, she could feel her orgasm slowly building. Licking her lips Miya imagined herself in the bath with Minato, pinching her nipples Miya pulled off her panties and bra and inserted two fingers into her pussy as she thought of Minato playing with her nipples. Picking up the pace Miya felt her climax getting closer, she started playing with her nipples imagining that it's Minato. Covering her mouth with her free hand Miya screamed into her free hand as she came hard that she is jerking in the aftermath. Panting heavily Miya knew that she is in no condition to make dinner as she leaned against the wall, the floor beneath her covered in her juices.

Miya grabbed her phone and texted Minato to cook dinner while she grabbed her toiletries and her towel needing to take a bath.

Matsu sat in the room downloading the footage that she recorded from Miya and Minato's spar, she couldn't believe that Minato managed to make Miya work up a sweat. That shouldn't have been possible for a human, even if the person is a master swordsman and in peak physical condition, Miya would have beaten them no problem in two strikes. Yet, Minato managed to not only keep up with Miya but he managed to land a hit on her and make her sweat. During the spar Matsu couldn't help but notice the way Minato's muscles moved when he fought, she could imagine the sorts of "experiments" she and Minato could have. She giggled to herself when a beeping sound drew her attention signaling the download is complete.

Opening the video Matsu watched the footage again, the reason why is because the way Minato fought reminded her of another piece of footage. Opening another screen Matsu brought the footage from two years ago that Karasuba brought back from the facility holding Musubi, playing the footage of the spar with the security footage side by side. As the footage played Matsu noticed similarities between the two from the way they hold their weapons to the way they move. Matsu knows that every fighter has a specific style that they use, a style that is unique to them and is almost like a signature. Pausing the two footages Matsu concluded that Minato and the person from two years ago are one and the same based on their fighting styles.

"Who are you really Minato?" Matsu asked herself. Of course Matsu did research on him wanting to know who her future Ashikabi is and what she found intrigued her. According to her research Minato Revan grew up in America and his parents died in a car crash leaving him to be raised by his uncle and aunt. Matsu dug deeper and found out that everything is fake, she even got his fingerprints and ran them and came up with nothing. According to her research Minato Revan does not exist on this earth. Matsu withheld the information from Miya until she found out more about Minato's background.

'I'll find the truth and then we can experiment.' Matsu giggled to herself already imagining what Minato could do with those hands of his.

"Matsu, dinner is ready." Minato told her from outside her door. Closing the windows on her computer Matsu exited her room and went downstairs to the dining room to see Miya setting down plates. Matsu knew about Miya's "relaxation" techniques and she even offered to lend her one of her toys to help, Miya in response hit her on the head with a wooden spoon and told her that indecent suggestions are not tolerated in Izumo Inn.

After a delicious dinner Minato took care of the dishes while Matsu went back to her room while Miya went to make some tea. Entering her room Matsu checked on MBI, she easily broke through that cheap imitation of her, Kochou sorry excuse for security encryptions. Matsu saw that Minaka is thinking of upping the tournament date as soon as the first fifty Sekirei are ready and that he is planning on using the remaining Jinki as prizes. A knock on her door drew her attention, closing the windows Matsu gave the go ahead for whoever is knocking to enter. Miya entered the room holding a cup that she offered to Matsu, taking the cup Matsu wondered what Miya wants.

"I am here regarding our earlier conversation a year ago," Miya told Matsu getting the redhead to raise her eyebrows in response, recalling what conversation Miya is referring to. Setting the cup on the table next her computer monitors before going to her dresser and retrieved a small box which she gave to Miya who thanked her and left leaving Matsu to her own devices.

Miya is sitting on the back porch sipping tea when her heart picked up meaning Minato is near. Sitting next to Miya, Minato looked at the tree in the backyard.

"I found an apartment. It's a reasonable price and not far from the University." Minato told her getting Miya to frown at the news. She knows that Minato is currently in the engineering program at Shinto Teito University and is almost finished, he has a knack for building things.

"That's good to hear," Miya said forcing the words. "When will you be moving out?"

"This evening. I called the movers and they'll be here in an hour." Minato told Miya getting her to frown again, 'that soon.'

"It'll be lonelier without you here." Miya said taking a sip of her tea.

"You have Matsu," Minato pointed out getting Miya to chuckle.

"That's true," Miya said. "I'll run to the market and get some ingredients for our last dinner." She said needing to get out of the Inn to think about the news.

That evening Miya, Minato, and Matsu ate in silence. After dinner Minato did the dishes for the last time before grabbing his jacket and walked to the front door with Miya and Matsu who gave him a hug before he left. Miya closed the front door and leaned against it, she should be glad that Minato left instead she felt hollow similar to how she felt when the news of Takehito death reached her.

"Cowered," Matsu told Miya getting the older Sekirei to stare at her.

"What?" Miya asked.

"You're not betraying Takehito." Matsu told Miya getting her to unleash her aura on Matsu who for once held her ground as she stared down Miya. "He would want you to be happy and not using his death as an excuse to deny yourself happiness."

"You don't know what he would want for me." Miya said increasing her aura that Matsu wanted to run to her room and lock the door but she didn't, she wanted her friend and former captain to find happiness so she stood her ground even though her survival instincts are screaming at her to run away as fast as possible.

"I know that he would be disappointed if he saw you now." Matsu said trying to fight her fear. "Don't deny yourself happiness." Matsu told Miya before leaving to go to her room.

Miya stood in the entrance way shocked at what Matsu said to her, 'what does she know.' She thought to herself before going back to the dining room to turn off the lights, after that she went back to her room to change. Miya couldn't help but think back to what Matsu told her, did she really use Takehito's death as an excuse to shut herself off from the world. Once in her nightgown Miya went to her closet and pulled out a purple box hidden towards the back, setting the box on the floor Miya knelt in front of the box before opening it.

Inside sat her wedding kimono, a white Kakeshita with a floral pattern that Takehito had bought her after she agreed to marry him. A paper sat on top of the kimono which caught her attention, grabbing the paper Miya flipped the paper over and saw it to be a note, the writing belonging to her late husband.

My dearest Miya.

If you're reading this, then I'm dead. I wish I could say I knew what was going through Minaka's head when he decided to experiment with the Jinki but I can't. It's weird to be writing a death letter but it needs to be done because knowing you. You'll blame yourself for my death and shut yourself off from the world.

Miya held back tears as she read his letter, it's like he knew what she is going to do. Miya read on.

It's ok to grieve the loss of a loved one and I know for a Sekirei losing their destined one is like cutting a limb off. Fortunately, you were never winged by me and that's ok. After you grieve, I want to find your Ashikabi and be with them. Those days of our marriage are the happiest of my life and I want you to experience it again. Don't let me death hold you back from being with your destined one.

I'll always love you Miya

Miya cried as she finished reading the letter. Setting the letter back in the box on her kimono Miya grabbed her phone and called Minato. After the second ring Minato picked up.

"Hello, Miya."

Miya couldn't help but smile as she heard his voice again. "Minato, would you mind coming over for tea tomorrow?" she asked.

"Sure. Is anything wrong?"

"No, just want to talk about something that's been on my mind for a while." Miya told Minato over the phone.

"Ok, I'll be over in the morning."

"Great, see you tomorrow." Miya said smiling, "good night Minato"

"Good night, Miya."

After Minato hung up Miya closed her phone and put the lid back on the box before setting it back in her closet. Thinking about Minato made Miya's heart pick up and familiar heat spread throughout her body, opening the box that Matsu have her, she saw a black vibrator which she planned on using.

The next day Miya prepared tea and waited in the dining room for Minato to arrive. She planned on telling Minato about the Sekirei and their destined one, she wanted to give Minato the opportunity to choose on whether or not he becomes her Ashikabi. Miya informed Matsu of her decision and the redhead had a big smile on her face at the news and Miya told her not to interfere and to stay in her room while she spoke to Minato. Miya felt the heat return signaling that Minato is approaching and she took another breath to calm herself. Hearing the front door open Miya poured tea for herself and Minato just in time as Minato came around the corner, he wore his brown leather jacket that Miya liked and a black shirt.

"What is it you wanted to tell me?" Minato asked removing his jacket and folded it, setting the jacket on the floor Minato sat opposite Miya and accepted the tea.

"I wish to tell you something about myself." Miya said taking a sip of her tea, "something that may shift your perspective of me." Miya said preparing herself for the explanation of the Sekirei when Minato spoke up.

"That you're a Sekireri," Minato stated setting the tea cup down. "Number one to be exact." Miya looked at Minato with a surprised expression that Minato already knew about the Sekirei and about her being number one.

"How?" Miya asked schooling her features to one of neutrality.

"It's better if I show you." Minato said getting up and walked to her, "do you trust me. Miya?" he asked when he stopped in front of her and extended his hand. Miya looked at his hand then to his eyes, "I do." Miya answered honestly taking his hand, she couldn't explain it but she trusted Minato with her life. Minato grabbed his jacket and went to the front door with Miya in tow. Putting on their shoes Minato led Miya to the docks.

Arriving at the docks Miya stood in front of a large steel door with No Trespassing painted in bold on the doors and a keypad. Minato entered the code and the doors opened for them, Minato led Miya to one of the larger warehouses and turned to face her when they stopped in front of the door leading into the warehouse.

"This is my secret, Miya." Minato told her before opening the door and gestured for her to enter. Walking through the door Miya gasped as she saw an aircraft of unknown make and origin docked in front of her. Miya approached the aircraft and examined it, the aircraft is large and shaped like a U but has three prongs jutting out in front of the aircraft, two large cylindrical engines protruded from the back of the ship. The cockpit appears to be the middle prong, Miya saw two turrets, one on top of the aircraft and another on the underside. The aircraft is painted white and has red stripes on the prongs and on the bow, as well as the sides.

Miya heard a beep and saw a small machine come toward her. The machine is small reaching her waist in height, she saw a main body and two legs that have wheels helping the machine move. A large flat circular head that rotated and has a large lens that glowed a soft blue, perched on top of the machine's head are two antennas. The machine stopped in front of Miya and beeped at her unsure of how to respond Miya remained silent.

"T3 is asking who you are," Minato told Miya before introducing her to T3 who chirped and left. Miya looked to the aircraft in awe after T3 left. "Go ahead," Minato said after Miya eye the aircraft.

Approaching the aircraft Miya couldn't help but reach out and touch the hull wanting to see if she is dreaming.

"The Ebon Hawk belonged to me father." Minato said getting Miya's attention as she turned around to face Minato who looked at her. "I'm like you, Miya." Minato told her.

"I'm not from Earth."

A/N: And cut another chapter is done and we are moving on with the story. I tried my best with the spar between Miya and Minato, I hope it's okay. So Minato managed to survive a spar with Miya because of his experience fighting different sith users. Miya on the other hand is used to one shooting most of her opponents and is not used to fighting another person, also she may have underestimated Minato.

I could have just gone with the "the force helped Minato win" explanation and be done with it which it did but that wasn't the only factor to consider in him surviving a spar with Miya.

The only reason I'm telling everyone this is because I imagine someone is say that Miya should have won the spar between her and Minato. I could be wrong though.

Have a good one everybody and don't forget to Praise the Sun.
