Chapter 4 is ready
Hibiki and Hikari couldn't believe their ears, "You winged a single digit?!" they cried out.
"Yes, but originally I was called to take her back to MBI by Minaka. When I saw how she was acting I knew I couldn't leave her there. Not only that, Mikogami sent a group after her to try and claim her." Naruto explained.
"Well when you put it like that, we can't really complain." Hibiki said.
"It's fine, let's just call it a day." he said sleepily. His pale eyes shut as he gave a yawn, "Go to bed, we'll begin your training tomorrow." he told them.
"More training, but Naruto we're pretty good as we are now." Hibiki said.
"It doesn't matter. It's best to keep your skills sharp while you can." he said walking away.
"Ah, Ashikabi-sama, should I wash your back in the bath?" Akitsu asked.
"Not now Akitsu, I just wanna get some sleep." he said wearily.
"Yes, Ashikabi-sama." Akitsu said a bit upset.
"You're not in trouble, I'm just mentally exhausted and need to rest. We'll talk some more in the morning." he said quietly as he began to walk up the stairs to his room.
"Ah, can I sleep with you?" Akitsu asked.
"I wouldn't bother, he didn't even do it with us." Hibiki said.
"No, that's not what happened. I meditated all night and managed to sleep as I did. It's a ancient technique which lets me rest while my body remained calm and let me clear my mind." he explained to them, "It's the only reason you didn't wake up in the bed with me." he told the twins.
"So we can sleep with you?" Hibiki asked.
"No. While the three of us are connected on a level most others wouldn't understand, I myself am not yet ready to commit to such emotions. In due time will something happen in the future." he told her.
"Well regardless, we're climbing in bed with you." Hikari told him.
"Yea, all Sekirei like to cuddle their Ashikabi unless they're those jerk-wads that don't like the comfort of another person lying with them." Hibiki said.
"I don't care where you sleep at, just let me be able to actually rest." he told them as he reached a door, "Restrooms on the right, make sure you shower before climbing in bed with me, I'm gonna crash here." he told them as he took off his shirt revealing his back to them. Naruto has a lean but muscled build meant to provide both speed and power and is built from years of fighting with toned muscles he had developed over time. He had well-chiseled pecs, a very defined six-pack, and back and leg muscles. However, what caused the girls to be concerned were the scars that littered his body.
They were all over his body.
He had scars all over his body of different shapes, sizes, and fades, showing some were still fresh and others weren't. Most looked to be the result of knives, swords, and other blade-like objects. He even had scars all over his arms that looked to have made by hundreds of little razors. However, there was one that stood out to them the most. It was a large, fist-shaped scar that rested over his heart and was heavily faded, showing that it was old. But when Naruto turned around to crawl into bed, he revealed that the scar actually went all the way through his body and came out his back.
The discolored skin of a jagged scar resting below his shoulder blade over his heart caused Akitsu to turn away and the twins to literally freeze in shock as they looked at his body covered in battle scars, unable to turn away from the jarring site. He saw their gazes were either averted or frozen on his body. Shrugging his shoulders he removed his pants and stood in his underwear and simply fell back onto the bed behind him. The blondes Sekirei were in shock. How had he gotten that many scars? How had he survived? How was he able to remain so sane when he should probably live in a loony bin?
These were the questions that ran through the three girls mind as they tried to rid the image of their Ashikabi's scarred body from their minds. It wouldn't be easy, but they eventually shook themselves out of their stupor. Hibiki walked over and sat on the bed next to him. Naruto only raised a brow when he felt her places her hand on his body, "What are you doing?" he asked her.
She didn't answer as she rubbed the scar that sat directly on his heart.
Naruto felt her tenderly rub her hand across his scarred flesh before Hibiki softly whispered, "How did you get this scar?" she asked him.
Naruto shrugged his shoulder, "A mistake in my youth." he told her, "Wasn't one of my best moments, but it's definitely a reminder of how bad I was about doing stupid stuff back in the day."
"And this one?" she asked him as she ran her hand over the one by his shoulder.
"Same guy, same day." he told her.
"So someone did this to you?" Hibiki asked him in a soft tone.
"Like I said, it was a mistake from my past. A lot of these scars came from that same guy, but some of them were from mistakes I made in other positions. Haven't made as many mistakes these past couple years as I did back then." he told her, "Now that's enough about me, go shower." he told her.
"Ok, I'll see you when I get out." she told him.
Naruto didn't respond, he didn't really care.
He was already asleep.
The next morning Naruto groggily woke up a killer headache. He tried to bring his hands up to rub his eyes with a hand, but found them pinned to his sides. Looking to the obstructions, he immediately understood why he couldn't move. He looked down to see that the twins were now latched to his arms on either side and Akitsu was lying on his chest. That must have been why he was having a hard time breathing. At least they were clothed. Oh don't get the wrong idea, he didn't mind waking up in bed with a naked woman, but he at least wanted to be naked too, morning sex was enjoyable to many, and if they had been naked then he could have at least woke with a enjoyable night filled with passionate memories.
And don't get the wrong idea, he was a dick yes, but he loved sex. As much as he hated Jiraiya's attempted corruptions to perversion, he would admit that the old pervert had a point when it came to the female companionship. And after he had visited a brothel that first time he couldn't really get enough. Then Shizuka came, followed by Shion, Mei, Kurotsuchi, Anko, Samui, Mabui and easily a dozen or so other women. Shame that he had to hide the fact he got that one chick pregnant, Sara... or was it all of them. He had heard a rumor from several villages that the population of blondes had went up randomly after a few months.
Regardless, his past sexual accomplishments aside, he had things he had to do. Across the room a puff exploded into existence where a cloud of smoke appeared and quickly faded away to reveal another version of himself. Calling upon his power, he felt his body switch places with his doppelganger where he stumbled a bit as he shook his leg to get the feeling back. He had things he had to do so he would allow the three Sekirei to sleep. Quickly getting into the shower and washing himself off he got dressed in a grey wife-beater, a pair of blue jeans, socks and shoes. He then opened a drawer to the dresser and pulled out a white t-shirt and put it on and walked out the door.
He walked to the forge and turned on the lights, seeing as it was still early in the morning, and set to work. Changing the propane tank out he quickly lit the furnace and allowed the heat to fill the cool morning air around him. The difference of what he was doing here and what he did the other day, was that he was only building one weapon and not four, but the time in which it would take was not even a quarter of the time. He then walks over to a set pile of metal and grabs a solid one inch thick piece of square 1080 steel and then walks over to the lathe he had set up. He then proceeds to drill a hole into the metal.
The reason he was doing it like this was because that the tang of the weapon wouldn't be that long, only a single hand in length, and if he had preheated the metal then drilled the hole then the threads would have been warped and he would have no choice but to restart the whole process. With his hole drilled through the entire solid stock metal, he then puts it in the hot forge and allows it to heat up to proper temp, pulls it out and proceeds to draw it out with beveling under the power hammer. This would be a tricky build as he had to start from a square cross-section and taper it out to form a diamond.
When he did what he could on the machinery, he moved down to the anvil and worked in what he needed by hand. When he had finished drawing it out into a flat bar he set it down and walked over to the plasma torch and turned it on before he grabbed a sheet of metal and proceeded to cut out four pieces of metal that would be structural to his design for the weapon. Cleaning them up to where he liked, he then proceeded to quickly engrave a elegant design into the metal for lather purposes and then returned to the forge to flatten the blade a bit more, measure it out to length, and then laid in some more bevel just to be safe.
With the blade now forged, he was able to begin his grinding and he decided to start off on the 180-grit to polish off the harder scale that remained and bring out the shine of the blade. With the finished blade shined and readied, he proceeded to go through and drill in the threads to ensure his material didn't break. If he had done this after heat treating it would have destroyed itself in the process as the metal would have been to hard. Taking a threading bolt, he pours some hydraulic oil on it and then pours several drops down the hold at the end of his blade and then slowly drills in the thread bolt to get his threads in nice and smoothly.
So far, only forty-five minutes had passed.
Now it was time for heat treating. He starts off by heating up the thicker end first before flipping it around to do the bladed portion, and then quenches into oil. With that done, Naruto takes it over to the belts and proceeds to polish it and true up his edges and define the point on the weapon. Grabbing some leftover wood he used to make the handles for the twins' weapons he took it to the lathe and proceeded to use a strip of sand paper on it and quickly smoothed it down and then took a pen and drew a pattern along the handle before he proceeded to grind and sand away his markings while it spun on the machine.
While he was working on that, he had a clone working on hand engraving a elegant pattern into his already pre-made engravings so that he could assemble it when he finished with the tang and blade. His clone was using a diamond tipped chisel and a small hammer to delicately make the marks necessary to pull out the beautiful pattern he had originally carved into the metal. Working through several variant belts Naruto was quick to bring out the pattern of the blade and shine behind the metal and was quite pleased with the way it shaped itself out to be. He had messed up many swords in his life when he started out, but after becoming a master blacksmith without equal, he hadn't messed up in many years.
With all his forging done, Naruto walks over to where his clone was and was happy that the welding he needed was already finished as the clone pulled off his goggles and dunked the guard for the blade into some burning ice. Yes, that's right, burning ice. It was a special technique he learned long ago, and it was almost as effective as heat treating one would normally do in a modern forge. Pulling the metal out, the clone tossed his piece to Naruto and the blonde walked back to where he was working to begin assembling the final product of his craft.
Taking the handle of wood he slid the guard over it and quickly set a hot rivet of titanium into the wood permanently binding the two pieces together. Taking the blade he quickly screws it onto the handle and welds it together and walks over to a grinding belt and took away the weld markings and then took it to the scotch bright wheel and polished up his latest piece of work. All in all the build itself took less that three hours, but he was truly pleased with how much easier it was to design this weapon for Akitsu.
It was roughly nine in the morning when the three Sekirei walked out to the forge just as Naruto came out with a box in his hands, "Oh, your three are here just in time." he said to them.
"In time?" Hibiki asked in confusion.
"Time for what?" Hikari asked her Ashikabi.
"Ah, the box." Akitsu pointed out.
"Exactly." Naruto said with a smirk on his face, "This is for you." he said handing it to her.
"Ah... what is it?" Akitsu asked him.
"Open it. You'll like it." he told her.
"It's another weapon isn't it?" Hikari asked.
"Yes, not going to lie, but this one is suited just for Akitsu just like those knives I made for you girls." he told them, "But again training in using it will wait until I know she and in extension you two, are suited for something other than your weapons." he said as Akitsu pulled out a very elegant Rapier.
"Ah... thank you Ashikabi-sama." Akitsu said as she looked up with a questioning gaze, "But if I may ask, why am I being given a sword?" she asked him.
"It's simple." Naruto told her as he leaned against the doorway to the building he had just left, "Like with the twins, you may find yourself out of energy when in a fight, and to ensure that you don't get deactivated or worse, I'm going to teach you how to fight using a weapon best suited for your ability. I gave the twins a set of singular sided blades that flow with the natural movement of the body, yours is meant to move with a elegance and grace as I have seen you in the fight back at the park. If I find anymore Sekirei and wing them, I'll make weapons based on their own fighting styles." he told her calmly, "However, also like the twins we will be training to see what all you need to work on. You may be a single digit, but your power isn't absolute." he told her.
"Ah... I understand, Ashikabi-sama." Akitsu said.
"Naruto. Call me Naruto, I don't do honorifics." Naruto told her as he got off the wall, "Well begin your lessons when we get back. Right now we have to go to the city and get some things to help train you. And right now, that is only possible if we get them today." he told her, "Don't worry you'll be able to get through your lessons as well." he told the twins as he walked past them.
-In the city-
Walking through the city, the girls had proven that they could easily pull heavy things, as seen by the large crates on wheels. Naruto himself was also pushing his own weight, ignoring the shocked looks the people were giving them as they passed by. As they were about to load the things they needed into the back of the large transportation truck, they heard a voice call out from behind, "Hey, you!" a loud, rough voice shouted.
"Oh crap…" Hikari muttered, recognizing the loud voice.
Naruto groaned before he turned to see a black-haired man in his mid-twenties, wearing a rough black jacket and a pair of jeans stalking towards him, "Who are you?" Naruto growled out in annoyance.
"The name is Seo and you Winged my Sekirei!" the now named Seo growled.
"What the hell are you talking about?" was all Naruto could say as the man glared at him.
"Don't pull that bullshit me!" Seo growled at him angrily, "You Winged my Sekirei!" he said again.
"Uh…girls?" Naruto asked, "Any of you know this guy?" he asked them.
"Ah... Never seen him." Akitsu replied uncaring of the man walking up to them.
"He was the person we reacted to initially. Although in this case it was a mild reaction when compared to the one we had with you." Hikari admitted with a uncaring shrug.
"And you didn't mention this because..." Naruto questioned them.
"As we said, our reaction was very mild." Hibiki added quietly.
Seo gaped at the twins in disbelief, "B-but you reacted to me, not him!" he growled out as he pointed to the blonde in question.
"Seo, Sekirei can react to multiple people it's not just a singular reaction." Hibiki sighed out to him, "It just so happens that Naruto-sama is a better Ashikabi for us on the compatibility scale." she explained to him, though he didn't like it regardless.
"A kid like this is more compatible than me?!" Seo exclaimed unhappily at this, not to mention a little disbelieving.
"I'll have you know I'm in my mid twenties." Naruto told Seo though they ignored him.
"Yea, that's just the way it is Seo." Hikari shrugged before she and her sister draped themselves on either side of their Ashikabi and snuggled in to him, making him sigh at the close contact, "Of course the compatibility issue is just one reason we chose him. Another reason is that knowing your lazy ass, we would have been ridiculed by everyone just by being with you." she told him.
"So just because I like to indulge in alcohol makes me a bad Ashikabi?!" Seo snarled, fists clenched and shaking in fury.
"It doesn't matter Seo, we've been Winged, so there isn't anything you can do about it." Hibiki said as she cuddled her Ashikabi.
"Tch." Seo glowered at Naruto for a moment before stomping off, "I'll just have to Wing another Sekirei then. If I come across ya kid, all bets are off."
The next thing Naruto knew, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up and a pair of lightning bolts shot from the outstretched hands of the pair of enraged Sekirei attached to him, reaching out to strike Seo in the center of the back, electrocuting him to the point Naruto could swear that he could see the mans skeleton as the electricity danced across his body.
To be honest, it was quite comical. Like the loony toons.
"Don't. You. Ever! Threaten our Ashikabi." the twins spoke in unison as Seo collapsed to the ground, burnt and twitching spasmodically.
"Not bad. A bit underwhelming, but not bad." Naruto complimented them nodding his head.
"Ignore him Naruto, we have things to do remember?" Hibiki said as she went back to loading the crates by hand.
"Ah... we have business at home." Akitsu said.
"Meh, whatever, let's get this done." Naruto agreed and went back to work.
Completely ignoring the moaning man on the ground twitching from electricity coursing through his veins.
-Later-
As the truck pulled into the driveway yet again, Naruto was curious as to why someone was standing there as if waiting for them to come back. She was a lovely woman there was no doubt, but the way she stood definitely was suspicious to Naruto. Having lived as long as he had he could instantly tell her stance was also meant to throw others off guard. But it was how she held herself that made him understand that this was no ordinary woman. He stance, was that of a warriors. Climbing out, Naruto walked over and waved in greeting, though he was very adamant on meeting someone like this in the middle of his driveway, "Can I help you?" he asked her.
The woman in question is a slender yet shapely fair-skinned woman waist-length purple hair with shorter bangs that is in a hime cut and brown eyes. She wears the traditional attire of a miko that is a purple hakama, a white haori with a sash-like belt, wooden sandals and a white ribbon to partially hold her hair in place. While she was attractive and seemed to be fairly young, there was a gleam to her eyes that showed that she would fight with incredible power if need be, and from what he was sensing she had plenty of it. In fact, she had as much power in her as the only person that gave him a hard time in battle.
Madara... Uchiha...
That man, was out of his league by many times, and the fight only lasted for thirty minutes before someone worse arrived and gave him a even harder time. The fact that this woman had as much power as his biggest enemy in this day and age, made him wary. No, downright paranoid of her existence. His first instinct upon coming this close to contact her was to literally wipe her out of existence entirely, and for something like that to happen, it was a pretty big deal. However, he could also tell she wasn't here to cause any trouble if the fact she was smiling pleasantly at him didn't show her true intent. She wanted to met him face to face.
"Well yes you can actually. I'm looking for the owner of the three lots here that just purchased them the other day. I haven't had the chance to introduce myself to the new owner and wanted to do so for a few days now." she said pleasantly.
Naruto hummed to himself. Should he really reveal himself as the new owner? Well, it would come out eventually sure, but right now he had things to do, and lying wasn't one of them, "I'm the owner." he told her.
The woman seemed to be taken aback by his statement, "Oh, oh my. I'm sorry for assuming that you were just a man working. I didn't mean to sound so rude." she apologized to him.
"It's whatever." he said shrugging, "So, what can I do for you?" he asked her.
"Well, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Miya Asama, and I live right across the road from you." she told him.
Naruto nodded his head to her, "Names Naruto Uzumaki. I am pleased to make your acquaintance." he told her.
Miya smiled at him and nodded her head, "Well I originally came over to see if you would be willing to come over for dinner so as to get to know one another, not romantically mind you as I am not looking for a relationship, but as friends." she offered.
Naruto shrugged. He didn't really care if she wanted to offer food for a night or not, free food was free food. He nodded his head to her, "I guess it wouldn't hurt. You wouldn't mind if I brought some guests of my own would you?" he asked. If he was being fed he didn't want to leave his Sekirei out of the mix. That would have just been rude even for him. He was a heartless son-of-a-bitch, but he wasn't cruel to others.
Miya nodded her head, "Of course I don't mind. I'll be glad to have your friends over." she told him with a giggle, "I live right there, so you can come over at around eight o'clock for the meal." she told him as she began to walk away only to turn back to face him, "Oh, and by the way, how many are you bringing to the table?" she asked him.
"Three plus myself." Naruto responded.
Miya nodded her head, "That's fine, if it had been dozens then there would have been a problem." she said before she walked away with a giggle to herself.
Naruto shook his head at the woman, "Strange, even for someone as powerful as her." he said as he walked back to the passenger door and opened it, "Come let's unload this stuff and get it inside. We won't be training today seeing as we have plans this evening." he told them.
"Whatever." Hikari shrugged.
"Sounds good to me." Hibiki said calmly.
"Ah... where are we going?" Akitsu asked.
"Next door for dinner. Apparently the landlady wants to get to know us better." Naruto told Akitsu as he adjusted his goggles on his nose.
"Why next door, can't we just eat over here?" Hibiki asked him.
"No, then we would be seen as rude when we have already promised to go meet the neighbor." he responded, "Best to keep your word and let life move on for you without letting it bother you." he told her as he walked to the back of the truck to begin unloading the things he needed.
XxX
Miya walked into the house her husband owned and into the kitchen with a small smile. The new neighbor, while a bit crude in his mannerisms, was actually quite pleasant to speak with. She heard the sound of footsteps and turned just in time to see a certain busty Sekirei walking down the stairs and felt herself frown when she saw her outfit... which with that being said, was nothing at all, "Uzume... I thought I explained several times that walking around Mason Izumo in the nude is strictly forbidden?" she asked as a purple haze appeared around her. And from the purple haze a demonic masked began to form behind her and glare at Uzume.
Uzume stiffened, "I-I'll go get dressed right now." she said before she ran up the stairs.
Miya huffed to herself, "That girl, what am I going to do with her?" she asked herself.
"Hey Miya." a feminine voice greeted her from the right where the purple haired beauty smiled at another of her residents.
"Homura, you're looking well today." she greeted, "Anything interesting happen lately?" she asked. It had been a couple days since she had talked to her tenant.
Homura shrugged, "Nothing much if you want my honest opinion. Though there was a instance where I found myself interested in." she told Miya.
Miya gave the young woman a curious gaze, "Like what Homura?" she asked her.
"Well, the twins as well as the formerly scrapped #7 have all been winged by the same person in a time frame of less than two days apart. Not only that, but from what Matsu says there is no information on the guy. And I just saw them fry Mikogami the spoiled Ashikabi and two of his Sekirei yesterday, when Akitsu was supposed to have been winged. They used their Norito, but they somehow didn't kill or deactivate the two Sekirei nor their Ashikabi. Those are certain kill abilities, but they didn't." Homura said scratching her head in confusion. It was really weird for her, and she was still pondering how they hadn't fried the three of them.
"Why would they attack a Ashikabi, that is against the rules set into place by MBI isn't it?" Miya asked her.
"They didn't do any big harm to Mikogami, it was mainly #11 Hikari who only used her lightning to shock Mikogami to the point of knocking him out like a taser for the police would do a suspect on the run. Not only that, but I think if you met them you'd be grateful. They actually saved Uzume from being forcefully being winged against her will." Homura told her.
Miya had to admit, that was a nice thing for them to do, but attacking a Ashikabi was something that would bring the blade of the Discipline Squad down their necks as well as their Ashikabi's own. However, if she knew Hiroto Minaka then she knew for a fact he wasn't going to do anything. If anything he would only find it interesting and amusing for his so called 'game' where he used her people as pawns for his sick amusement. Miya shook her head to rid it of the thoughts on the evil bastard and looked to Homura, "Well, anyways Homura, we're having guests coming over for dinner tonight so please inform Matsu of this so she stays in her room would you?" she asked as she headed for the kitchen.
Homura shrugged, "Ok, I'll make sure not to go anywhere tonight. I guess." she said.
-That night-
Naruto and his Sekirei were dressed comfortably for dinner at the new neighbors, the twins had a navy blue and maroon red dress on respectively, Akitsu had on a clean outfit while Naruto wore a crisp white shirt and pair of blue jeans. Casual yes, but presentable nevertheless. Having explained why they were going next door, Naruto told them to quickly get ready to go and watched them each emerge from the room and admitted, he almost gained a very noticeable hard-on. Oh sure he wouldn't think of trying to sleep with them after only a couple days, and he had certainly had his fair share of one nighter's, but something told him it would be in his best interest if he were to wait for the proper time.
"You girls look good." he said as he adjusted his goggles on his nose, "You ready to eat?" he asked them.
"I'm not sure about them but I'm starving." Hikari said as her stomach rumbled loudly.
"Ah...I'm hungry." Akitsu whispered out with slightly red cheeks.
"I'm ready." Hibiki said.
"Let's go get some chow then." smirked the blonde.
And with that, the quartet walked across the road to find a meal.
XxX
Knocking on the door, Naruto was surprised to see that it wasn't Miya that answered the door, but Uzume (You know, the Sekirei/girl from his literal dreams) that slid the door open. She seemed as surprised as Naruto felt, "O-Oh hello, how are you guys?" she asked nervously as she felt her cheeks heat up from being so close to her Ashikabi.
"Uzume!" the twins said with wide eyes and excitement in their voices.
Naruto ignored the lightning twins and gave the busty Sekirei a broad smile, "Well we are hungry. Miya said you were supposed to be expecting us, yes?" he asked her.
Uzume gulped, "U-Uh yea, she was, please come in." she said stepping out the way, and they all entered the nice abode.
"Well I must say, you have a nice home Uzume." Naruto said as he walked past her and into the living room, " I don't suppose you have been waiting around for me have you?" he asked as he turned to face her.
The twins looked at Uzume and felt their eyes widen while Akitsu felt her own narrow, "Y-You're reacting to Naruto, aren't you?" Hibiki asked #10.
Uzume laughed nervously, "Y-Yea I am. It's not that I don't wanna emerge now, but can we save it for after we eat please. I don't wanna invoke the landlady's ire.I'm sure you can understand." she stated with a gulp.
The twins shrugged, "Yea we don't mind, in fact it's awesome you're reacting to someone so awesome like Naruto-sama." Hikari said happily, though that was usually her sisters stick.
"I'm cool with that if Naruto is." Hibiki said smiling softly.
"Ah.. Ashikabi-sama just gave me wings." Akitsu grumbled.
Naruto wrapped a arm around her shoulder's, "Calm yourself. She too needs to find her other half. It's unbecoming of one such as you to fret over these things." Naruto told her.
Somewhere in the city, a busty blonde sneezed and vowed to kill the one speaking ill of her.
A gentle laugh drew Naruto's attention as well as the Sekirei he had winged, "I see you are of the feminine wile type Naruto-san. Who might these lovely young ladies be?" Miya asked as she entered. Oh she knew exactly who they were, but she had an appearance to keep after all.
Naruto smirked. Her emotions were a dead give away. She knew who his girls were, but she felt like she had to toy with them. He'd play her game... for now. He then motioned to the twins, "Well the twins here are Hibiki and Hikari. Hikari is the more busty of the twins, and this one I have embraced is Akitsu. Greet the nice lady girls." he told them.
"Hello." the three Sekirei spoke as one.
Miya felt her eyebrow almost tick in annoyance, but she knew he was also pointing out which girl was which. The twins were similarly busty, but the difference was noticeable when it came to the twins appearances when you looked for them. Hibiki felt her arms cover her chest in embarrassment, "N-Naruto-sama, why are you pointing something like that out to her?" she asked with red cheeks.
"Difference's in appearance for twins are hard to distinguish unless you know what you're looking for. Remember that in case you ever find yourself in such a situation." Naruto pointed out to her while not taking his eyes off of Miya, "I assume you are still working on dinner?" he asked Miya.
"It's just about ready you may make yourself at home in the living room while you wait." she told him and turned around, only to stop in her place and then turn back around to face Naruto, "You wouldn't mind if I asked for some help from your three lady friends would you?" she asked him.
Naruto nodded his head, "They would be glad to help you." he said nudging them towards Miya, "Be nice and courteous to the one giving us a home cooked meal tonight girls." he told them softly as they followed Miya into the kitchen. Sounds of dishes being set were soon heard by the blond. Seems they were trying to set the table.
Uzume looks to Naruto and watches as he sits on the couch, "So, Uzume, how you been since I last dreamed of you?" he asked with a grin.
"Horny as hell with how you manage to take control of those dreams I share with you to be honest. But right now I'm doing my best to control myself in Miya's house. She can be a bit of a prude when it comes to affection." she said before motioning to his goggles, "Can I see your eyes?" she asked.
"Nah. Too sensitive to the light." he told her.
"You hurt yourself?" she asked him.
"No, just light sensitive." he told her shaking his head a couple times.
"And you wear welding goggles to prevent the light from shining in your eyes? Makes no sense." she said.
"If you were me you'd understand completely." he told her as he leaned back in the couch.
"Show me your eyes." Uzume said to him as she climbed into his lap and straddled him. Again he turns away. She turns his head and gently strips the goggles off. He sits with lids shut tight, anticipating the pain. Uzume whispers silently, "Show me." she urges softly to her Ashikabi. Imagine a virgin undressing in front of someone for the first time. That's how Naruto opens his eyes, startling the young woman: No irises, just huge lavender white-pool pupils. And from deep within, a jewel-like eyeshine. His eyes are as beautiful and unsettling as those of a starved jaguar. Uzume swallows, "You did this? To yourself?" she asked him as she gazed into his eyes dreamily.
"Not even close." he tells her in a rough toned voice, "It was a long time ago, but my once sapphire eyes turned this way. A way for the world to basically say that I'm meant to see the world from a different view. I'm more of an animal now than anything, and these eyes, won't let me see the light. Been engulfed in the darkness for to long. I've forgotten the sight of it." he told the busty Sekirei honestly as he takes her features in the light in through his eyes, her body outlined in a pink aura and white sketch in his sights. She's beautiful no doubt about that, but right now she was utterly stunning.
"They're beautiful..." Uzume whispers to herself as she caresses Naruto's cheek, looking into his eyes.
"If you knew half the things I've done, you'd be singing a different tune." Naruto said as he reached down and gripped Uzume by her ass cheeks, "You want me to Wing you now while we aren't eating or after we eat? I don't mind waiting, but why do something after a missed opportunity." he said smirking.
Uzume didn't hesitate as she gripped his face in both her hands, "I need you. I want you so much right now. Kiss me. Make me emerge!" pleaded Uzume while looking up into his eyes.
"I'll do more then just make you emerge Uzume-chan," replied Naruto before kissing her passionately on the lips and making her wings manifest. Light shined brightly as wings of silken white emerged out of her back made up of the finest silk. The wings soon envelope both Shinobi and Sekirei as she tried to deepen her bond with Naruto. As her winging finished she pulled back with a breathless huff, "By the veil of my contract, my Ashikabi's nightmares will be dispelled!" she huffed out with a breathless sigh of pleasure, "When we get to the house, we're fucking, got me?"she asked him.
Naruto gave her a deep chuckle, his that seemingly sound like a lions own purring, "The twins come first. Then Akitsu and finally you. I'll wait til the end of the week to give you all the attention you girls deserve. I barely met the twins less than a week ago and Akitsu a couple days ago before winging you. Let them have the chance to discover such a pleasure before taking the time to discover your own." he told her as he pat her ass and then gave a powerful squeeze that turned Uzume on like no other, "I'm sure you can understand a bit of patience goes a long way, right Uzume-chan?" he asked her.
"Dinner's ready!" a voice called from the kitchen.
"Let's go eat before anything else." Naruto said tapping her on her legs.
XxX
Dinner was a experience Naruto would actually say he could enjoy. The young woman named Kagari was a decent person, and apparently she was a escort/host for the local club. Naruto said she would have paid her three times as much just to go fishing. Naruto spoke with Miya on how he lived practically anywhere the wind blew, having lived in Switzerland, Scotland, Britain, Austria, France, Constantinople, Egypt, Rio de Janiro, Texas, Hollywood, Washington, Alaska, Hong Kong and many other prestigious places.
As dinner came to a close, Naruto sent the twins and Akitsu across the road while he had Uzume wait in the living room for further instructions, seeing as she was a resident of the house, and he helped clean up the dishes so as to not burden Miya with the large chore. Kagari had already went to bathe so he was of no help in that regard. As he finished wiping a dish Naruto turned to lean on the counter and took a deep breath and released it, drawing Miya's attention, "What's the matter Naruto-san?" she asked in a semi-concerned tone, knowing the Ashikabi was thinking hard on something.
Naruto shrugged, "Depends on the situation mostly." he told her, "But right now, I didn't wanna bring it up at the dinner table while we were eating and alert the girls, but I just want to know something if you're okay with me asking." he said to the lavender haired beauty.
"Well it doesn't hurt to ask questions, what would you like to know?" Miya asked him curiously.
Naruto huffed, "Well, not to try and push myself into your personal business, but are you a Sekirei?" he asked her, "It's just you remind me of someone I used to know and I have to confirm or I'll go nuts." he said calmly.
Miya going stiff was all the answer he really needed to confirm his question, but hearing her answer was just as good, "Yes, I am." she said whispering to him.
"Sorry, I don't mean to pry, but you felt similar to the twins and Akitsu I had to ask." he said again.
"You are in no wrong for being curious." Miya said before looking to Naruto, "And I know you just winged Uzume so don't try to pull the wool down over my eyes." she said pointing a wet ladle at him.
"Well that too, but may I ask if it'd be alright if the girls came over to train with you while I'm out. I'm about to begin working a job, and I need help keeping them in shape. I just made the twins and Akitsu some weapons so they could defend themselves when they run out of juice, and what I'll be teaching them isn't exactly friendly for a fight. They'd be learning to fight dirty and deadly, and not defensively." he told her.
Miya nodded, "Of course. I could teach them some when they visit." she told him, "Interesting enough, but what kind of work do you do?" she asked him.
"Depends on who hires my services. I work as a Government Mercenary, Publisher and Writer, Prison Maintenance Enforcer, Food Connoisseur, a Medic for small towns among other jobs. Sometimes I work as Kagari-san does and pleasure ladies who hire me, sometimes I write and perform music, model for fashion artists and help construct buildings. Other times I work as a forest conversationalist or aquatic animal preserver. Like I said, it depends on who hires me." he shrugged.
Miya had to admit, he had quite the resume for someone so young, "And your job that is coming up?" she asked.
"Prison Maintenance Enforcer. I get paid to become a temporary escaped convict that is worth a lot to a bounty hunter and get taken in. My job is to test how well the super-max prison holds up to possible escaping prisoners like Alcatraz Prison would. The bounty hunter doesn't know I work for the government, the prison doesn't know I work for the government. All the prison knows is I'm a felon who has done something to end up in the slammer, and the bounty hunter knows I'm a con that needs to be taken in. The pay will give me a couple million american dollars, and the government gets what it wants and has a prison prodded for defects." he said with a smirk.
Miya wouldn't admit it aloud, but that was a impressive job to have. She then had another thought enter her mind, "And, just how many, prisons have you escaped?" she asked.
"As of right now, roughly over eight hundred, total I couldn't tell you." he said with a wry grin. Which is true, cuz he had escaped a lot of prisons throughout his life, Alcatraz being one of them back in the fifties. Though it had to be said he was also one of the criminals inside. Fun times that was.
"Oh my, you sure do take your job seriously." Miya giggled.
"I take any job I have seriously. If I don't then it costs me, and I don't like being put on the back burner for some second hand schmuck that thinks he can do better than me when I perform, and I've been put on the back burner too many times to count." he said in a deep voice.
Miya wouldn't admit it, but the tone that Naruto had taken when he explained him being pushed out the way was slightly intimidating to her. She cleared her throat, "I see... Well I thank you for helping me out Naruto-san, I think you can help Uzume move out and over to your residency, I will be seeing you when your job is completed." she said.
"I look forward to it too." he said to Miya with a grin of his own.

Leading her Ashikabi to her room, Uzume was soon packed and ready to move (though admittedly not that far as it was literally across the street) to her Ashikabi's house. Walking out of the now much emptier room, they made their way to the stairs, storage scrolls with the contents within placed at his hip. But as they got to the steps, Naruto stopped before focusing on the wall in front of him, and walked toward it. Uzume, seeing this looked to her new master, "What's the matter Naruto?" she asked him.
"This wall here, it's a hidden room isn't it?" he asked the busty #10.
"Yes, but, you aren't supposed to know that." Uzume hissed silently.
"Not my fault. There's a presence in here, and it's calling out to me, I can't just ignore it now can I?" he asked as he placed a hand on the side of the wall and pushed.
"Naruto, no, we shouldn't be bothering this one." Uzume hissed at him.
Naruto opted to ignore her and turned, "Why don't you just head home or downstairs." he told her as the wall moved.
Uzume merely shrugged. She'd let him handle this one.
Much like he had expected, there was some kind of spoke, or perhaps a rod that had simply been placed in the middle of the wall that allowed for rotational traction. In either case, the wall was quick to yield to his push, rotating around the center so that the left side where his hand had been providing the force moved inwards while the right moved out towards him. Seeing the darkness of the room before him, penetrated only by several lights that Naruto recognized as being from a number of monitors, the blond walked in through the secret entrance.
Much like Naruto had expected the small room was very poorly lit, the single light fixture that Naruto could see on the ceiling was going unused. Instead all of the illumination came from the many dozens of monitors that were stacked along the walls in columns and rows around the three sides of the rooms that the door was not located on. Naruto could count at least two dozen computer monitors of various shapes and sizes splayed along the wall in what could only be called organized chaos. Despite the fact that the monitors looked like they had just been thrown together with no regards to aesthetics, the blond could tell that there was actually a purpose to their placement. Interspersed among the monitors Naruto recognized box-like modems and hard drives, all of which he recognized as belonging to some of the more advanced computer systems in the world. The very little amount of floor space available in the room was being covered by a lumpy futon, which had empty packages of snack food and cans from what Naruto recognized as energy drinks. In short, the entire room looked like a hackers paradise.
Sitting at the far end of the room, next to one of the larger monitors was a woman. Much like all of the other Sekirei he had met, this one was quite beautiful. She looked to be in her early to mid twenties, dressed all in white. Her outfit was some kind of long dress with a higher then normal neckline, it was bare at the shoulders, and slit up the sides nearly to her hips with a small diamond shape gap at the top of her breasts to expose just a hint of her cleavage. She had two sleeve like additions that apparently attached to her dress underneath her armpits and hung low over her hands. She had dull auburn hair that fell low down her back and was framed on either side by a pair of plaits that she had thrown over her shoulders, and her eyes were concealed by a pair of large round glasses that hid a pair of dark red eyes. She looked surprised, her mouth open in shock as the upper half of her body turned to face him. However, the moment her eyes landed on Naruto, her face turned a deep shade of red that was partially hidden by the low lighting.
"Wow, this is an interesting place you have here," Naruto commented lightly, no sign of stress in his voice or on his face. It was a carefully constructed mask that he had perfect when he was not feeling quite as calm as he wished, and right now, the blond was downright unnerved. Looking at the various monitors scattered around the room, Naruto saw that many of them were showing images of the various areas of the house, including the tree where he had been sitting just moments prior.
Just how long as she been spying on him? Was she some kind of spy? Or perhaps some a double agent or something. No, if she were a double agent then she would have revealed herself to him and tried to ingratiate herself with him before he had ever come over to this house. He could also rule out her being a spy. From what he could sense, Miya would never let a spy into her house. Unless of course, she was a spy working for Miya herself, but if that were the case then the woman before him would not be spying on the tenants of the house, would she?
Well, maybe she would spy on him. He knew that Miya was curious about him, it wasn't obvious to anyone but him, but part of the reason the landlady spent so much time with him was because she wanted to learn more about him. However, even as Naruto thought that he noticed another monitor that showed Miya sitting sieza on the floor in front of a shrine, her head bowed as smoke from the incense she was burning drifted lazily in the air in front of her, and immediately ruled the thought of the landlady having this Sekirei spying on him out. She would never allow someone to spy on her, so it was unlikely she even knew what this woman was doing.
"You know, it's rude to be spying on people, especially when you're living with them," he told the woman, whose breathing had begun to pick up. She was taking deep breaths, her shoulders visibly heaving even in the low lighting. Naruto frowned as he noticed that, but put it out of his mind for the moment. He took another step forward, "So may I know the name of the Sekirei that's been spying on me?" he asked. Said Sekirei blinked, her expression managing to convey surprise even as the pace of her breathing began to increase.
"M-Matsu," she rasped out, sounding like she had run a marathon in one hundred degree heat. The flush on her cheeks were beginning to get brighter, the redness actually glowing within the barely illuminated room.
"Well, Matsu," Naruto began as he took another step forward. He was on a roll now, his mind determining the quickest way to get the information he wanted from her, which was why she was spying on him. There were a number of interrogation techniques he could use, anything from mental and physical torture to seduction and psychological word games. Since the person he was interrogating was a Sekirei, he had decided to go with psychological word games. He would have gone with seduction, but wasn't sure it would work on a Sekirei. "I suppose since you were so kind as to give me your name, it's only right I give you mine. I'm..."
"Uzumaki Naruto," the woman interrupted as she turned to him. She was using her arms to hold the upper half of her body up, but they were trembling so badly they looked like they might give out at any moment, "Age: 26, height: 6 feet 4 inches, weight: 190 pounds, build: lean athletic, hair color: blond, eyes: assumed to be blind, Sekirei he's winged: Twin Sekirei #11 and #12 Hibiki and Hikari, Former Scrapped Number #07 Akitsu the Ice Sekirei and not even six hours ago #10 Uzume the Veil Sekirei. Has only been in Shinto Teito for exactly seven days, but has already winged four Sekirei and has earned to title of Miracle Worker due to his winging of former scrapped number, Akitsu. On top of that, very little is known about Naruto other than that he is a wanderer who has visited a number of different countries within the past several years."
Naruto's hand twitched, almost summoning a kunai into it. If he had been wary about this girl before, now he was downright paranoid. While most of that information would have been easy for her to obtain since she had apparently been spying on him for some time, some of that was not. As far as he knew there had been no mention of Akitsu being a former scrapped number during any of the conversations he'd had with the girls (which admittedly wasn't much when he wasn't training them to fight). Which meant she had been doing far more than just spying on him.
The only good thing Naruto could determine from this was that Matsu had said he was a compete mystery, meaning whatever information she had managed to gather, she had only been able to find the information he himself had spread for others to follow. That was good, it meant that the people under his, ahem, employ were doing their job and eliminating any and all information and images that could be found on him that he didn't want. Still, it was almost negligible when compared to the fact that this Sekirei had been spying on him for so long.
During the woman's recounting of all the information she had on him, Matsu had begun to crawl forward on her hands and knees, stopping when she was just barely a foot in front of him. Her eyes never left his as she tilted her head and looked up at him, and it was now, when she was this close to him that Naruto realized there was something wrong with her. No, not something wrong with her, something familiar.
He had seen this kind of reaction before.
The twins when he had first encountered them.
And it was in that moment of realization that Naruto noticed everything else about her that he had been to been to focused on acquiring his information to notice before. The way her cheeks flared brilliantly within the darkened chamber as she looked at him. Her half lidded eyes hidden underneath the fringe of her bangs and behind those round spectacles. That seductive way she was sitting, leaning forward on her hands and knees with her arms pushing her cleavage together. The scent of her arousal filling his nose, a heady scent that made Naruto's head spin. It wasn't long after taking in these observations that his eyes widened in realization.
"In other words, a very mysterious person," Matsu continued as Naruto took a cautious step back. As she spoke, her left hand came up to press her palm against her breast, right above her head. "You, who are a complete mystery to everyone, is the Ashikabi of this Sekirei, number zero two, Matsu." She crawled forward another step, and Naruto took another step back. "Now..." she said, her eyes taking on a gleam that was actually beginning to unnerve the blond, "Please calm this hot body with your thick, hot, DNA." she pleaded with him.
Finally, she pounced.
Naruto wasn't given a chance to dodge, evade or maneuver out of the redhead's way as she tumbled across the floor with him. Naruto wasn't going to lie, he cried like a bitch. His scream echoing through the hall as he cried out at the way this redhead grasped at him in a way similar to a former perverted toad sage would when he spoke about women. Before he could contemplate on how to escape from the clutches of this seemingly perverse woman, she spoke up in a deep sultry voice as her arms slid around his neck, her body pressed itself against his, her breathing picked up some more and her face began to flush as her eyes became half lidded.
"With our kiss," the red head spoke, her warm breath hitting Naruto's lips, "This number #02, Matsu, will be your Sekirei." and no more words were spoken as Matsu pressed her lips to Naruto's.
Bye-bye Virgin Alarm.(3)
Once more, Naruto felt his chakra being drained from him. Even after feeling it happen four other times it still felt strange. Behind Matsu, her Sekirei crest emerged, and with it bright, golden wings appeared behind her back. The wings were much different from any of the other ones Naruto had seen so far. They looked more geometric in shape, the edges were crisper, sharper, hard lines and angles that could not be produced by anything organic. And then the wings dispersed, and Naruto was left only with the feel Matsu's lips against his. They were warm, moist, intoxicating. As the kiss continued, Naruto felt the woman kissing him getting bolder. Her tongue moved past his lips and tried to slip in between his teeth, her body was starting to grind against his. Blinking, it took him a second to uncross his eyes and see that her face was also much clearer now, the details he had missed before now sharpened and enhanced.
He did not like that look on her face.
"And now," Matsu started, giggling as she wiggled and squirmed against him, her glasses gleaming ominously in the light. "It's time for the experimentation!"
"Eh?" Naruto blinked as his mind registered and processed the words of the woman straddling his waist. After a second of blinking, the blond finally seemed to realize his predicament and tried to get out of it. "N-Now Matsu," he started, beginning to back away from the perverted woman, or at least trying to. Considering she was straddling and clinging to him, his attempt didn't go so well. "Do-Don't you think we should take it slow?"
"Fuhuhuhu," Matsu's perverted old man giggling sent shivers down the blonds spine. "Come on, Naruto-tan. Don't be shy now, it's time for us to get to know what another intimately as Sekirei and Ashikabi. Fuhuhu..."
"It has nothing to do with me being shy," Naruto stated, almost pouting that she would even insinuate such a thing, even as he continued to contradict his words by squirming away. "I'm just concerned about what Miya might do to you."
"Miya?" Matsu blinked. "Why would Miya do anything?"
"Oh, I don't know," the voice of Miya came from behind Matsu, causing her to freeze. The sound of cold steel being pulled from it's sheathe resounded throughout the room, and the red head gulped as Miya's blade came to rest against her neck, caressing her jugular. "Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I was almost positive that I have expressly forbidden any illicit activity within Mason Izumo."
"Ah ah ha, r-right," Matsu laughed, not her perverted old man laughs, but a nervous laugh of fear "W-Why do I have this thing on my neck?"
"I would like to ask you cease any and all illicit activity, Matsu-san," Miya told the red head in her pleasant and beautiful voice. It was enough to put the fear of god in the heart of Matsu. "Please get off Uzumaki-kun now."
"Ah hehehehe... r-right," Matsu said, and then paused, "Um, Miya?"
"Yes?" the woman asked, her pleasant expression still in place.
"C-Can you please take this thing off my neck? I'm afraid if I move around I might accidentally slit my throat."
Miya blinked at Matsu.
Ok that is going to be it for this chapter, please leave a LIKE/FAVORITE/FOLLOW to show the story some love and don't forget to please also COMMENT/REVIEW to show me that you read the chapter and liked it.
1. Yes I am making Homura a female in this story from the get go. I mean, personally why make a male turn into a female the way they did in the series was dumb so rather than the transformation I'm just going to have Homura be a woman from the start.
2. Akitsu's Rapier is based off of Weiss Schnee's own, but without the barrel and dust powder and looks like a normal rapier would. Shout-out to Man at Arms Reforged for the video on making it so I could use the dialogue as a way to make me sound smart when it comes to making things (Which I am definitely not) and for Tachyon99 for the suggestion on Akitsu's weapon.
3. If you don't get this reference, look up SPACEBALLS, it's funny as fuck. I loved watching it as a kid growing up.
