A/N: Lemon towards the end of the chapter. Any mistakes are mine and mine alone
Higa sat at his desk reading a report when one of his security teams reported that they found the Sekirei he sent them out for. Checking the photo they sent him against the file that he bought off the MBI scientist showed that Kochou is the one that they are bringing which brought a smile to his face. Her abilities when it comes to technology will be a great asset in securing the top prize in this stupid tournament.
He is already looking forward to the future takeover of MBI. They ran his family's company in the dark but he managed to keep it afloat, no thanks to the old bastards on the board of directors. They wanted to sell to MBI but after some outside the box thinking on his part they were able to be persuaded into staying with the course he didn't tell them about the Sekirei. They didn't need to know about since there isn't much they can do anyway.
He checked in with the other teams and they reported that they haven't any of the Sekirei that he sent them out for. Closing his computer just in time to see his 'secretary' come in. in reality Kahizaki served as his personal body guard and pseudo head of security, as well as intelligence gathering. He found him in a dead end job and after doing some research on him, which turned out he is a former Intelligence Officer for the JSDF. Higa immediately offered him a job and ever since he's been loyal to Higa.
"You will be the owner of Kochou when she is brought in." Higa told Kahizaki.
"Are you sure?" Kahizaki asked. "Wouldn't it be better if she served you?"
"Good work deserves a reward." Higa said getting out of his chair and looking out the window to the city. The sun had set a while ago and the night lights came on. "I trust that you'll keep her in line."
"I will." Kahizaki said joining Higa in looking out the window.
Higa was alerted that the capture team has arrived and is headed up. He sat in his chair behind his desk and waited for them to arrive with his investment. He didn't have to wait long as the doors to his office opened and three men entered, two of them carrying a woman that they set down in front of his desk.
Kahizaki pulled out a smelling salt from inside his jacket and waved it under the woman's nose waking her up.
Kochou woke up startled and looked around trying to figure where she is until she remembered being cornered by a group of men, she remembered feeling the sting of a needle before everything went black.
"Welcome." A man said and Kochou looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man wearing a suit with a white undershirt and a yellow. He has short black hair and is wearing glasses. "You are currently in Hiyamakai Tower."
Kochou eyes widened when he said that. She had done research on the well known Ashikabi in the city and knew that Higa is not someone to get involved wtih; she found multiple reports of forced wingings. She hadn't realized that she entered his territory. The sound of a chair creaking got her attention and she looked to the desk and saw the man himself.
Higa wore a white suit with a white undershirt and a black tie. His brown hair is styled and he didn't show any emotion, his eyes looked at her like a big game hunter would look at his prey before killing it. She knew that he is calm and collected which made him dangerous.
"From this point on, you'll be serving Kahizaki." Higa said in a stern voice, like a master would speak to a dog when it misbehaves.
Kochou didn't know who Kahizaki was until he took a step forward. She quickly looked at her surroundings, she didn't have any weapons like some of her sisters but she did have some basic hand to hand training. Before she could act she felt the familiar pain of a needle on her neck, soon she couldn't move her limbs.
"It's a serum developed by MBI to help subdue rogue Sekirei." Higa informed her making her internally panic. "Dr. Harper was kind enough to provide us with a few samples."
Kochou wanted to scream but couldn't, she looked at Kahizaki as he kneeled down to her level. Suddenly she felt her body heat up and her heart pick up. 'My Ashikabi?' She thought feeling that they are near and she can't be with them, she is about to have that taken from her. She didn't want that, she wanted to meet her destined one so she struggled as best she could but it was futile since Kahizaki grabbed her face and held her still.
She closed her eyes letting a single tear for her destined one that she never got to meet.
"Sir, we have a visual on the Fire Sekirei."
Kochou opened her eyes when she heard the voice coming from the speaker phone on the desk. She saw Kahizaki stop and look at Higa. Of course she heard about the fire Sekirei or the Guardian Sekirei as the unwinged called him or her. Has he come to help her she wondered and felt the fire within her grow, she suppressed a shudder.
"Location?" Higa asked.
"Walking up the steps. He's with someone, looks like a cosplayer."
"Deal with the other and bring me the Fire Sekirei." Higa ordered before looking at Kochou. "It appears that tonight is going to be an excellent night. Continue."
Kahizaki moved closer and she prayed to whoever is listening that the Guardian is able to save her. Suddenly a frantic voice came over the speaker phone.
"They're dead. The security team in the lobby are dead."
Kahizaki stopped and looked at Higa and got up leaving Kochou alone.
"What is going on?" He asked the speaker on the other end.
"That Sekirei and the other one are in the elevator and they're coming to the top floor."
"Shut down the elevators and order everyone to floor they stop on." Kahizaki ordered before looking to Higa. "We should get to the safe room."
"Bring her, she'll be valuable and call the others." Higa said walking past Kochou.
Kochou felt herself being picked up and led away from the office to the safe room. The heat in her continues to grow in intensity and she prayed that her Ashikabi is safe.
The doors to the safe room close behind her sealing her in.
Minato felt the elevator stop, the lights turned off and the emergency lights came on.
"Matsu?" Minato said over the built in headset in his helmet.
"Security has shut down the elevators. They are gathering personal to intercept you."
"How far are we from Higa's office?" Minato asked looking at the ceiling.
"34 floors."
"Hmm. Can you get the elevator working?" Minato asked already coming up with a plan.
"Do you even need to ask."
Minato smiled under his helmet before the elevator whirred back to life. "Homura, take the elevator up to Higa's office. Chances are he's already in the safe room, find it and wait for me."
"What are you going to do?" Homura asked.
"Draw their attention." Minato said as the elevator doors opened and he stepped out. "Good luck."
"I should say that to you." Homura said before the elevator doors closed and continued its path up to Higa's office.
Minato walked down the wide hallway, reaching out with the Force he could tell the number of men they had and roughly where they are. He could feel their emotions and tell that they enjoyed their jobs, including the dirty jobs that they usually do for Higa.
Good, that meant that Minato didn't need to hold back. He rounded the corner to meet the team that had been set up to stop him.
Higa watched the security screens trying to find the people that have entered his building.
"Where are they?" He asked the man in charge of the cameras.
"66th floor, sir."
"Bring me the fire Sekirei. I don't care about the other one." Higa ordered and the man relayed the instructions to the rest of the personal that are gathering on the floor to intercept them.
"What about her?" Kahizaki asked gesturing to Kochou who is still under the effects of the serum.
"Once we deal with the Fire Sekirei, you can finish with her." Higa told him. "For now, focus."
"Sir! The elevator's moving again."
Higa looked at the screens and saw a red dot representing the elevator moving to his office floor.
"Stop it." Higa ordered.
"I can't. The kill switch isn't working." The man said while hitting keys on the keyboard trying to stop the elevator.
"Where are the others?" Higa asked turning to face Kahizaki.
"Entering the lobby."
"Unlock the second the elevator and have them go to my office. They should be able to stop them." Higa said.
"Sir, we lost contact with the teams on the 66th floor." One of the security personal said.
"Go back! Go back!" One of the men said while running past another man.
"What the hell is he?!"
Minato walked down the hallway calmly after the remaining men, he didn't use his lightsabers. Instead he chose to use the Force. Rounding the corner he used the Force to pull a metal panel towards him to act as a shield from the incoming fire.
Grabbing a man with the Force, Minato raised his fist towards the ceiling and the man flew towards the ceiling hard killing him. He threw the body to the side and Force Threw the metal panel away from him so is acted as a Frisbee and decapitated another one. The security personal backed away as they continued shooting, none of their bullets even coming close to hitting him.
"Fall back to the elevators!"
"Keep shooting!"
Minato reached out and grabbed two metal panels from the walls and forced them to together, killing two more men that had the unfortunate luck of being caught in the middle. Minato walked down the hallway using the panels as shield and Force Threw one of the panels at another.
The panel hit the man in the stomach pinning him to the wall and killing him.
"Get to the elevator!" One of the men shouted to his comrades.
Minato pulled the guns of their hands save for one who continued to shoot at him, the bullets hitting the metal panel.
"Got it. Get in!" One of the men shouted as the remaining men entered into the small elevator.
The last man ran towards the elevator shooting as he ran until he crossed the threshold into the elevator.
Minato dropped the panel and grabbed the man's arm holding it in place, right in the middle of the elevator doors.
"Help me!" The man pleaded to his comrades as he struggled to get his arm free from whatever is holding it in place. The rest of the men tried to help and pull him into the elevator before Minato reached them.
Minato used the Force to close the elevator doors severing the man's arm. He stopped in front of the elevators and looked at the arm for a moment before the elevator dinged and opened for him.
"Thanks, Matsu." Minato said as he entered the elevator and the doors closed, the elevator moving on it's on.
"Heads up, the remaining security teams on the 89th floor have manually cut off elevator access. You'll have to run the rest of the way.'
"Anything else?" Minato asked.
"Several Sekirei and their Ashikabi are currently approaching Homura's position."
"Higa's?"
"Some are, the others aren't. Looking at the Ashikabi's background, some of them have relatives or family in hospitals that belong to Higa."
Minato suppressed his anger at what Matsu told him. It reminded him of the assassins that the Sith and criminal gangs "employed". They would blackmail people into being hired killers just to keep their hands clean.
"Alert Homura, and tell him that I'll be there soon." Minato said as the elevator stopped and its doors opened.
"Be careful." Matsu told him making him smile as he exited the elevator and walked down the hallway into the ambush that is no doubt waiting for him. Entering a large office area, multiple men emerged from cover, each armed with a submachine gun and all of them are aimed at him.
Minato held his hand up just as they opened fire, using the Force Minato stopped the bullets before they reached him.
Eventually the guards stopped shooting and looked at Minato with both shock and surprise.
"What the hell?"
The bullets are suspended in midair in front of Minato who held them in place with the Force. Minato Force Pushed the bullets sending them back to the guards who fired them, the bullets ripped through their bodies killing them. With the guards taken care of Minato quickly ran to the service stairs to help Homura.
He hoped that the silver haired man is doing ok.
Homura dodged a staff swipe aimed at his legs only to be hit in the side by another Sekirei that had blindsided him. He was knocked into the wall cracking it, he fell to his knees. He had been fighting these two Sekirei while the others hanged back with their Ashikabi's to provide support to the two attacking him.
Even with the advanced warning from Matsu, Homura still wasn't ready for them when they charged into the office.
"Not much fight from the Fire Sekirei." Taunted the Sekirei who fought with her fists. "You're not much of a guardian now."
Her words made Homura grit his teeth as he stood up on shaky legs, he used the wall for support and summoned a ball of flame in his palm.
The two Sekirei smiled and readied themselves for combat, they were ordered by Higa to take the Fire Sekirei alive, so their master could add him to his forces.
Homura struck first, throwing the fire orb at the two Sekirei forcing them to split up as they dodged the projectile. Homura decided to go after the staff wielding Sekirei first, ducking under a swipe he punched her in side forcing the air out from her lungs and making her double over to try and regain her breath. Homura reached for her crest but was hit in the back knocking him to the ground, he summoned his flames for protection while he recovered.
Getting back up he saw the two Sekirei growing agitated, he needed to buy time for Minato reach him so he transferred the flames surrounding his body to his fists and took a shaky fighting stance. He knew that he didn't stand a chance in his current condition but that didn't matter to him, he could only hope that his flames won't go out of control.
The Sekriei who fought in hand to hand smirked and charged, her fist reeled back ready to deliver the knockout blow. Before Homura could act she froze in place midair surprising the Sekirei and the others.
"What?"
Seeing her frozen in place made Homura act and throw a fire orb at her. The orb hit the Sekirei in the chest knocking her out of being frozen in the air and onto the ground. Homura saw Minato in the room standing next to the other Sekirei and Ashikabi who seemed to be frozen in place just like the other Sekirei.
The staff wielding Sekirei followed his eyes and saw Minato who moved his hand and the Sekirei moved up with his hand.
"Who are you?" The staff wielding Sekirei asked feeling uneasy just by looking at the person who had stopped her fellow sister mid air. She looked to the other Sekirei and Ashikabi wondering why they weren't attacking until she saw their eyes moving in fear, they are frozen in place unable to move. 'Who is this person?'
She felt a finger on the back of her neck, on her Sekirei Crest.
"These are the flames of my pledge, burn the karma of my Ashikabi." Homura said reciting his norito. The crest of the other Sekirei glowed for a moment before fading along with the crest.
"Higa…" The Sekirei whispered as she dropped her staff and collapsed on the ground.
Homura sighed and moved onto the Sekirei suspended in midair and repeated the process terminating the Sekirei.
Minato lowered the Sekirei and gently placed her on the ground before turning to the other Sekirei and their Ashikabi. Minato waved his hand in front of them and they collapsed on the ground. Homura feared that he killed them.
"They're asleep." Minato told him putting his fears to rest. "Now, where are you hiding?"
Minato walked to a section of the office wall and waved his hand in front of it. Hidden doors opened revealing the entrance to the safe room, reinforced steel doors prevented them from entering the safe room.
"Stay behind me." Minato told Homura who nodded, grabbing his lightsaber and igniting it. He plunged the yellow blade into the steel doors, the blade easily cutting through the metal. He moved slowly, cutting a circle big enough for them to enter. Once done he deactivated the lightsaber and Force Pushed the cut section inward.
The metal pieces hit the guards who made the mistake of standing right in front of the door, they weren't expecting the pieces to be thrown inward. That mistake cost them their lives.
Minato entered first then Homura. They saw Higa behind his remaining guards, one of them held a gun to Kocho's head.
"Not another move, or else the poor girl dies." Higa told them looking at Minato with interest. "Throw your weapons over here and you…" He said turning his gaze to Homura and tossed him an injector. "Inject yourself."
Minato unclipped his lightsabers from his belt and quickly ignited them and tossed them at the guards, using the Force to guide them towards the guards killing them. He then reached out with the Force to choke the man holding Kochou hostage.
The man dropped his weapon and began clutching his throat trying to relief the pressure around his neck. Minato closed his fist, the sound of choking was cut off by the loud sound of bones breaking and the man dropped to the ground dead.
Higa quickly drew a pistol from his suit and aimed at Minato who quickly recalled his lightsabers and deflected the shots while moving forward. Once in range of Higa, Minato cut the pistol in half then his arm just below the elbow. Higa cried out in pain and dropped to his knees clutching his arm.
"This is my only warning." Minato said bringing his lightsaber to Higa's face, the purple glow from the blade lighting his face. "You'll not force any more Sekirei into your service, nor their Ashikabi. If you do, I'll do more than take your life. I'll take everything you have."
The screens changed to show Matsu smiling as she downloaded everything Higa has on his servers. Higa clenched his teeth when he saw everything his company did, all their research, every dirty secret being downloaded. Once done Matsu winked and the screen went back to normal.
"Everything that you have done will be posted for the public to see." Minato said deactivating his lightsabers and kneeling so he's face to face with Higa. "This I promise." He said and he could feel the hate and anger coming from Higa and it's directed to him, it didn't faze him since he's used to it.
Minato stood up and turned his back to Higa. "How is she?" He asked Homura who is checking on Kochou.
"She's fine. She just needs to get whatever they injected her with out of her." Homura told him.
"Do you need help carrying her?"
"I can handle it." Homura said gently picking up Kochou and carrying her out of the safe room.
Minato followed and stopped at the entrance to turn around to face Higa. "Those you forced to serve you will be freed." He told him before leaving the room and Higa alone with the bodies of his guards. He woke up the sleeping Sekirei and their Ashikabi's and told them to leave which they quickly did.
"We need to wait." Homura said looking to the terminated Sekirei on the floor.
"Set her down." Minato said pointing to the couch set against the wall.
"What about…" Homua said while walking to the couch.
"They only care about the Sekirei." Minato told Homura as he set Kochou on the couch and sat down in a nearby chair. Minato leaned against the wall and crossed his arms.
"Minato." Homura said looking at him.
"Later." Minato responded just as the elevator dinged and MBI personal entered. They looked at Homura before turning their gaze to him. The guards stared at him while the scientists gathered the Sekirei. They put the Sekirei on stretchers that they brought with them and left.
Once they were gone Minato gently picked up Kochou and walked to the elevators with Homura following. They rode in silence to the lobby, once on the ground level they left the elevator and the building.
"Can you take her back to the Inn?" Minato asked. "I know you're injured."
"I can handle it." Homura said with a slight grimace when he took Kochou. "Its not my first fight."
"Are you sure?"
"Don't worry, I'll take her back to the Inn. See you there." Homura said before leaving to jump on the rooftops and headed back to the Inn.
Minato smiled under his helmet and sat on his bike and started it. The drive back to the Inn was uneventful and gave him time to think. With this, MBI would know that the person who hacked them is now in the city. And no doubt the guards will tell them about him and start tracking him. Most likely they would track where he came from and see that he came from Izumo Inn with Homura, from there they could put two and two together and identify him as said person.
He didn't know what MBI would do then, but he figured that the Director would either watch his every movement when he left the Inn or tell every Sekirei that their freedom lies with him. He hoped for the first option but he had to wait and see.
Minato made it back to the Inn and parked the bike in the garage and turned it off. He sat on his bike for a moment to undo the seals on his helmet. He took off the helmet and looked at it, the paint is starting to fade and chip. He would need to take it back to the Hawk and repaint it. He got off the bike and entered the Inn.
The smell of food greeted him and made his stomach growl in anticipation of eating said food. Minato entered the dining area to see Miya and the others eating, Homura is making himself a plate when he walked in.
"Welcome back." Miya said with a relieved smile that he's unhurt. "I trust you delivered your message?"
"Yes." Minato said walked towards the table and sat down next to Miya, he set his helmet on the floor next to him. "How is Kochou?"
"She's currently sleeping in a spare room." Matsu informed him. "The drug will wear off by morning."
"Good." Minato said before making himself a plate.
Dinner went quick, Homura excused himself halfway through to get some sleep. After dinner Minato helped Miya clear the table and went to help her with the dishes but was stopped by Matsu.
"Aren't you forgetting that tonight is Uzume's night?" Matsu said looking at her sister who blushed. "I'll help Miya with the dishes. Besides I'm sure you need to unwind." She said before leaving for the kitchen.
"Right." Minato said turning to face Uzume.
"Can you come to my room in ten minutes?" She said and Minato agreed, besides he needed to get out of his armor.
Minato headed for Miya's room and undid his armor and robes and changed into simple clothes. He didn't know what to expect from Uzume, in a way she reminded slightly of Matsu.
He headed up to Uzume's room and knocked on her door, she told him to enter and he saw her wearing black lace lingerie. Her bra had an open cup design so it gave him a teasing view of her breasts and a bow in front.
"Come here." Uzume said seductively and Minato obeyed closing the door behind him. "I want you to tie me up and blindfold me." She told him producing white veils.
"These are part of my weapons, so they can handle me." She told him and Minato took the cloth from her.
"Are you sure?" Minato asked wanting to make sure.
"Yes." She said turning around and putting her arms behind her back. Minato tied her hands, making sure to not cut off circulation. He then blindfolded Uzume making her shudder, he placed his hands on Uzume's hips and he felt her shiver at his touch.
Minato kissed her neck and breathed against her ear making Uzume shiver in anticipation. "What would you like me to do?" He whispered in her ear.
"Make love to me." Uzume whispered rubbing her legs together to contain her arousal.
Minato moved one of his hand between her legs, he could feel how wet she is and he wanted to tease her for a minute. He moved his hand against her pussy making her moan and grind against him, moving his other hand to her breasts to massage them.
Uzume moaned louder and continued to grind against him in an attempt to relieve the growing fire in her.
Minato moved his hand underneath her panties and inserted a finger.
"Please…" Uzume said groaning at the intrusion.
"Please what?" Minato asked continuing to massage her breasts and moving his finger in and out of her.
"Please…uh…stop…oh…teasing." Uzume said in between pants.
Minato decided to grant her request and took his finger out of her and put his finger in her mouth so she could taste herself. He felt Uzume's tongue on his finger making him groan as his erection throbbed. He undid the bow on her bra freeing her breasts.
Minato took his finger out of her mouth and gently pushed her onto her knees. Uzume took the initiative and leaned forward so her face is on the floor and her ass is in the air. Minato took of his clothes and kneeled behind her, he pushed her soaked panties to the side and readied himself to enter her. He gently put the tip against her entrance making Uzume groan and wiggle her butt.
Minato entered slowly feeling her tighten around him. Like the others he sent a Force Heal when he broke through and Uzume moaned loudly when he fully entered her. Minato moved slowly then gradually picked up the pace, Uzume's moans grew louder as well.
"Slap my ass." Uzume panted and Minato did.
"You're a kinky girl, aren't you Uzume." Minato said slapping her butt making her tighten with each slap.
"Yes! I'm your kinky girl!" Uzume screamed as she came and Minato groaned when he felt her tighten again. He moved his hands away from her butt to her shoulders to use them as leverage so he could fuck her harder. The hard fucking made Uzume moan loudly that he wondered if the soundproofing would be able to contain their cries of passion.
"Harder!" Uzume cried and Minato obliged, pushing himself faster and deeper into her. The sound of flesh smacking filled the room along with Uzume's cries of passion. Minato saw her clench her fists trying to contain the growing fire in her and it made it go faster, he wanted to fully satisfy her, to give her his love and let her know that he'll never abandon her.
Uzume felt his feelings of love for her through the bond and that served to make the hard fucking more intense. "I love you, Minato!" She cried when he hit the perfect spot that made her senses go wild, the feeling of being tied up and blindfolded intensified those feelings. She grit her teeth when she felt Minato speeding up and she knew what that meant.
Minato buried himself fully into Uzume and came inside her. Though he couldn't see it, Uzume went cross-eyed behind the blindfold when she felt his cum enter her. She panted and drool slightly came out of her mouth when Minato pulled out, she collapsed on the ground panting for air and Minato undid her hands, then her blindfold.
"Can we rest?" Uzume asked rolling onto her back still breathless. "That was amazing."
Minato picked up Uzume bridal style and carried her to her bed and lay down next to her. Uzume kissed him and laid her head on his chest.
"I love you too, Uzume." Minato said before the two drifted off the sleep.
Elsewhere
Flying through space is a ship that many would think would be better off in the scrape yard due to extensive hull damage. The interior was no better than the outside, dust collected on everything from the lack of maintenance. Wiring was exposed along with the pipes, sparks flew from the damaged wires.
Indeed no one would be able to live in a ship that was no longer spaceworthy, yet it was. It was manned by a small crew and their leader.
On the bridge a figure stood wearing black robes and armor with a mask. This mask sparked fear in those that knew it, the mask is white and split vertically into two halves. It covered the cheeks but not the nose, red stripes went down the mask and over the eye holes.
This mask belonged to the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus, a member of the Sith Triumvirate also known as the Lord of Hunger.
Nihilus looked out to the emptiness of space pondering his next move when a crew member approached him.
"My lord, Darth Treya wishes to speak with you." The crewman said in a monotone voice.
Nihilus didn't say anything and turned away from the window and walked to the still functioning communication room. The crewman stopped what they were doing and kneeled in respect as he passed them.
Entering the communication room, Nihilus walked to the center of the room and stepped onto a platform and kneeled. A hologram came to life showing a woman wearing black robes with the hood up covering her eyes and only showing her cheeks and mouth.
"Nihilus, we found a possible location of Revan's spawn."
Nihilus tensed at hearing that name and the woman noticed.
"Have a look."
A second screen appeared, this time it appeared to be a recording from a ship. The recoding showed the Ebon Hawk as it took damage before it made the jump the hyperspace. The recording stopped and backed up to just before the jump and froze. Nihilus could see a faint shimmer like a mirage directly in front of the Ebon Hawk.
"I think this shimmer, leads to where Revan's spawn has been hiding these past years. Return to Korriban so we can discuss this. Sion has already been informed."
The woman told him before the connection was cut.
Nihilus rose to his feet and left the communication room for the bridge. He remembered Revan during the Mandalorian Wars, his spark is what led him to disobeying the Jedi and fighting for the Republic. He recalled the time he saw Revan giving a speech to his fellow Jedi, the aura surrounding him was blinding. Not to mention his skills with a lightsaber and his connection to the Force. It was like looking at the sun, it was beautiful…it was intoxicating.
Nihilus entered the bridge and told the crewman to set a course for Korriban, he took his previous position on the bridge. Revan was a powerful Jedi and Sith, and if even half of that power is in his son's then Nihilus could grow more powerful. He felt his hunger grow at the thought of it.
Soon the Ravager would find new prey to devour.
