Rise of the Warrior
I do not own Sekirei or any of it's characters. I own only Tetsuya.
Chapter 2- A Brand New Day
Tetsuya blinked himself awake to see his favorite head of forest green hair resting on his chest, dozing peacefully. A few days ago, his Sekireis had worked out some sort of system to figure out how they could all spend a night with Tetsuya without overly crowding his bed. He didn't know how they figured the schedule out and he hadn't asked, lest he think it unfair and they drag him into the decision making process and he risk hurting someone's feelings. He gently tried to lift her head off of him so he could go to the bathroom, when Toyotama woke up with a yawn.
"Mm, hey how goes it?" she said with a smile as she sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"It's going fine. So, how'd you sleep?" he asked as he reached over and turned his bedside lamp on before throwing off the covers and getting out of bed.
"Better than I have in a while. How bout you?" she asked as she stretched, thrusting her breasts out as she did, enjoying Tetsuya's none too subtle ogling of her chest.
"Well hey, don't worry about me. I'm gonna shower then head to breakfast. Care to join me?" he asked coyly as he slipped off his pajama bottoms and boxers in one smooth motion.
"Ooh! Yes please! Can I have a good morning kiss though?" Toyotama replied enthusiastically as she sprang form the bed.
"Are you sure? I mean, I'm more than willing to, but I've got some wicked morning breath though." he replied
"Of course I am." she said as she walked over, wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a light kiss on his lip before, without warning, she knelt down and stripped off his pants and headed to his bathroom, Tetsuya hot on her heels...
Half an hour later...
Tetsuya strolled out of his bedroom dressed in a gray business suit with a blue shirt and navy tie followed by a practically skipping Toyotama. He headed to the dining room to see most of his Sekireis sitting down to breakfast, including Karasuba.
Will wonders never cease?, Tetsuya thought with a small smile.
"Hey Karasuba, do you know where Yume has disappeared to?" Tetsuya asked as he entered the dining room.
"She's up on the 89th floor dealing with some paperwork for Minaka." She said as she walked over and placed her dishes in the sink.
"Oh okay, I'll go get her." Tetsuya said as he turned and headed towards the elevator.
"Wait, I'll come with you." she said as she grabbed her sword sheath from its place leaning against the dining room table and heading towards the elevator with him.
"Why are you so eager to help him retrieve Yume, Karasuba? I thought you hated her." Uzume asked from her place at the table.
"You best remove your nose from my business number ten. Lest I remove it for you." Karasuba said with a smile back at Uzume as she trotted after Tetsuya.
"God she's creepy when she talks like that." Uzume said with a shiver as she returned to her breakfast.
Tetsuya entered the private elevator for their floor and held the door open until Karasuba entered shortly after him before he punched the 89 button. The doors closed with a ding as the elevator begin to rise.
"So, how do you think our guest is holding up under Yume's care." Tetsuya asked as he casually leaned against the elevator wall.
"Not so well I think, Yume is... an efficient interrogator, to say the least. She had plenty of practice during our days on the Squad when Minaka used us as his personal hit men."
"Hmm well when we actually start asking questions I promise to let you have first crack at him." Tetsuya said as he glanced at the Black Sekirei.
"Mm, thanks. I gotta say, seeing this ruthless side of you is pretty hot. I can't wait to see what happens if you keep this up." she said coyly as she trailed a finger alluringly down his chest.
"Well, I'm glad you like this. Now, let's go visit our guest." Tetsuya said as the elevator dinged open and they stepped out and turned down a hall. They strode down the hall to a normal looking door with a fingerprint scanner and a keypad. Tetsuya reached out and pressed his thumb to the scanner and punched in the 8 digit code on the keypad before he reached out and rapped twice on the door. A few seconds later, Yume exited the room dressed in her Disciplinary Squad uniform. Tetsuya looked down to see her gloves and fingers were covered in blood.
"How's he holding up?" Tetsuya asked the Sekirei of Fate casually.
"He's close to breaking, if you let me at him for a few more hours he'll tell us anything you wanna know once we start to question him." Yume asked as she rubbed her hand tiredly.
"Is everything alright? Did he hurt you?" Tetsuya asked concernedly.
"No, my hands just hurt from the repeated blows. I'll be fine in a few hours." she replied as she continued to rub her hands.
"I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you didn't have to do this but I needed you to rough him up. I'm sorry you had to get hurt though." Tetsuya said lamentably as he gently lifted up one of Yume's hand and gently eased the glove off of it before gently kissing the back of her hand. Yume's face turned crimson at his public display of affection before softly uttering,
"It's quite alright, I had the right skills for the job, I'm just happy to be of use to you in your plan. It means a lot that you trust me with this responsibility despite the short duration of our relationship."
"Why don't you head downstairs and later today we'll do something together, just the two of us." He said as he rubbed the back of her hand. Yume nodded wordlessly as she snatched her hand back and scurried back towards the elevator.
"Hmm who would've guessed the so-called Sekirei of Fate was a prude?" Karasuba commented with a chuckle after Yume was gone.
"I think it's cute. She's always so in control, I like to see that there's a normal girl under there." Tetsuya said with a smile as he opened the door to reveal a room with plain, gray stone walls and floors with cameras mounted at every corner. The room was rather depressing, but then again, that was the point, Tetsuya's gaze turned to the only decoration in the room: a stainless steel chair occupied by a bruised and bleeding Kakizaki.
"Enjoying your stay?" Karasuba asked as she closed the door behind her and Tetsuya. Kakizaki looked up through blood-matted hair and a pair of cracked lenses.
"Fuck. You." Kakizaki heaved through bloody lips as he spat a bloody loogie at Karasuba's feet before Tetsuya grabbed a fistful of his hair and slammed a fist into his nose.
"Now, now, be nice. Another incident like that and we'll have to kill number 22. The Jinki can save a terminated Sekirei, not a dead one. So watch your tongue. Now, you're going to answer all my questions when I ask them. Until then, be a good little captive and you and number 22 may escape the Plan alive. See you soon, Kakizaki." Tetsuya said as he grabbed the bottom of Kakizaki's chair and tipped him over until he was laying handcuffed to his chair on his side before Tetsuya turned and headed back to the door and held it open for Karasuba before saying,
"By the way, next time I won't punch you. I'll just give Karasuba a knife and let her have some fun." Tetsuya said before he left the room and closed the door behind him with a the sound of it locking behind him. Before he could take a single step, Karasuba grabbed his suit jacket and slammed him against the wall.
"God that was so fucking hot! The way you just walked in there and owned the room, you showed him just how pathetic he was. Did you see the look of fear in his eyes when you threatened his Sekirei?" she exclaimed breathlessly before she leaned down and fervently kissed his neck. This continued for a few seconds before she playfully bit his collarbone area, just hard enough for him to feel it but not enough to draw blood.
"Whoa girl! Easy does it! I love you, but I still have a lot of things to do today. Maybe we can get together later though." he replied as he pushed her off himself gently yet firmly. Karasuba frowned and furrowed her brows at his response. She pushed him away forcefully before responding,
"I don't like to be kept waiting Tetsuya. Make sure it doesn't happen again." she said angrily before turning and moving to stomp away angrily before Tetsuya grabbed her by the wrist and spinning her around to face him once more.
"Listen, I love you. I love you more than I can ever express. I'm not saying no forever. I'm just saying not here in the hallway. But trust me, the wait will be worth it. Imagine how good it'll be after I take down and kill Higa. After I've seen him break down in tears after I take everything from him and make him regret the day he ever crossed my path." Tetsuya said as he placed his hand on her cheek and rubbed her cheeks gently with his thumb. Karasuba swallowed hard as she blushed.
"Yeah, well... I guess I overreacted, I'm sorry. Hey, good news though, the schedule says I get your bedroom the day after tomorrow... and I don't intend to let the opportunity go to waste." she added the last part in a whisper as she leaned up to be closer to his ear before finishing with a none-too-gentle nibble on his ear.
After that they headed to the elevator and back down to their floor. Tetsuya headed back to the kitchen to see Yume finishing off the last of the eggs and sausage so he grabbed a carton of milk from the fridge and poured himself a bowl of cereal and sat down next to Yume.
"So, I have to head to my mom's after I finish eating. Why don't you come with me and after we'll head on a date. Just you and me, we'll go wherever you want. The city is your oyster, so to speak." Tetsuya asked between bites.
"I... would enjoy that very much Tetsuya. Thank you. I will think about where I want to go. May I go with you to number one's Inn though?" Yume replied bashfully, apparently the Sekirei of Fate was not used to being in a relationship.
"Of course." Tetsuya replied with a smile as he polished off the last of his cereal and moved to put his bowl in the sink.
After Yume finished eating they headed back to the elevator, but instead of punching the lobby button he hit the parking garage button before the elevator doors closed and it began to descend. When the doors opened with a ding to reveal the parking garage, this threw up all sorts of red flags with Sekirei number eight.
"Tetsuya, get back. Someone has hacked the elevator." Yume said protectively as she threw herself in front of him.
"Relax Yume, we're just taking an alternate mode of transportation. You've worked hard enough today, it's time you take a back seat." Tetsuya replied as he fished his motorcycle keys from his pocket as he exited the elevator and walked over to his parking spot where his black Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R was parked and took his helmets off the two hooks off of the nearby cement column and handed his spare one back to Yume.
"What's this for?" she asked as she examined the helmet as she took it from Tetsuya's outstretched arm.
"It's so you don't hurt your pretty little head. Now come on, get on." Tetsuya said as he put his helmet one and got on the bike and put the keys in the ignition. Yume slowly got on and grabbed onto the chassis with both of her hands, before he looked back and saw her gingerly grabbing the chassis. He sighed as he saw her awkward pose.
"Don't grab there. Grab here." he said as he reached back and guided her hands around his waist. Yume blushed but grabbed on with a more secure grip as she pulled herself closer to him. Tetsuya grinned as he kicked started his motorcycle and took off for his mother's house.
One hour later...
"Alrighty, Higa Pharmaceuticals has just recently decided to release twice as much stock become available as was on the market ten minutes ago. And they're only asking 1¥ a share. How generous of them." Matsu said as she finished putting the finishing touch of the best hack of her life.
"That's just silly of them. Some people just don't know the value of money these days. Well now Higa Pharmaceuticals controlling interest shareholder is one mister Tetsuya Asama. Thanks Matsu, you've been a huge help. I won't forget this." Tetsuya said as he finalized the trade on his phone before pocketing it.
"Hey, it's no problem. So what are your plans for the rest of the day?" Matsu asked as she turned to face her friend.
"I've got a date with Yume. Then I'll probably head back to the Tower and tomorrow I'll call a shareholders meeting of Higa Pharmaceuticals.
"Wait, you're going on a date in a suit, really?" Matsu asked with a raised eyebrow as she eyed Tetsuya's attire.
"Oh crap! I forgot I was dressed in a suit. Damn it all!" he exclaimed as he rushed down the hall to Minato's room, leaving a confused Matsu sighing after him.
"Hey Minato, you don't by any chance want 300,000¥ suit do you?" Tetsuya asked as he burst into Minato's room. Minato was bent over his desk, poring over a book.
"Um, sure I guess." Minato said as he looked up to see his fellow Ashikabi standing in his doorway.
"Good, then I need your pants. And shirt. Probably underwear too. Actually definitely underwear. Don't ask just strip." Tetsuya said curtly as he began tor strip out of his suit.
Several minutes later Tetsuya arrived downstairs dressed in a tight black tee shirt and blue jeans to see Yume dressed in a white t-shirt with a red min-skirt. Nervously standing in front of the stairs with her hands behind her back
"I- um, I thought she could use a makeover before your guy's date. I hope that's alright." Nanaha replied bashfully from the living room.
"It's fine Nanaha. Now Yume, care to accompany me to the movies?" Tetsuya said as he offered the Sekirei of Fate his arm. Yume wrapped her arms around his as they headed for his motorcycle. Tetsuya smiled, all in all, today had been quite a success...
