Internal monologue

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- scene break

AUTHOR NOTE-The first chapter did better than I thought it would, thank you all for leaving a review! I would also like to say that if any one feels the need to compare this story to In Flight, please don't. I want to write a good story and I will do my very best to deliver one, but I highly doubt this will be as good as In Flight. So, as I said earlier try not to compare the two stories. Lastly, please don't send me a review describing how my story doesn't compare to In flight.

Previously on An Honorable Master

When the creature called Karasuba roughly smashed her lips against Shirou's and then forced her tongue in his mouth he couldn't help but look at the blushing face of his would be killer as she closed her eyes and forced herself on him, and in front of his mother no less! However that's not what had his full attention, Shirou's eyes narrowed as he saw a pair of pitch black translucent bird like wings suddenly sprout out of the back of the female that was savagely kissing him. What had him even more worried and also a tad curious was the fact that she somehow absorbed a small portion of his prana.

When she finally released Shirou's lips her eyes were closed and she had the same playful smirk on her face that she was sporting when she first came in.

"Forever and ever, let's watch this world burn together my new Ashikabi."

All Takami could do was fall in her chair, close her eyes, take a deep breath, and then exhale before saying one word "fuck."

Chapter 2: Introduction to the Sekirei plan

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After Takami's statement no one moved or said anything. That is until Karasuba leisurely stood up and walked over to the door. Before leaving she turned her head slightly to look at a stunned Shirou with her patented playful smile. "Well since were done here I'll be leaving. I have some things to take care of now that I have an Ashikabi, see you soon Min-chan…very soon."

Before she could open the door she quickly tilted her head to the right to avoid the attack she sensed coming. With a loud "thunk" her eyes quickly darted to the dinner fork that was now buried into the solid wood door to the point where you could no longer see the teeth. Looking at Shiro with half opened eyes she began to speak in an amused voice, "attacking your new Sekirei? That really hurts Min-chan."

The now standing ShiroU just narrowed his eyes at her, "I don't know what just happened nor do I know what a Sekirei is. Honestly though, I don't really care. What I do know is that my name is Shirou Emiya and I refuse to let you mock It." Shirou had killed because of his name and was forced to defend his life on more than one occasion because of it. The name Shirou Emiya had a rather…infamous reputation in the world of magi and more importantly it was the name his father gave him. Shirou Emiya was not just something as simple as a name to him, but it was who he was. He was Shirou Emiya, son of the magus killer Kiritsugu Emiya and he was damn proud to be. There was no way he would let this…this type-Sekirei Karasuba mock that name.

Seeing what he just did Takami couldn't help but stare at him with dumfound expression. After all it wasn't every day you see someone throw a plain dinner fork with that kind of force, and especially not at Karasuba. Even with Minaka being as crazy as he was, made sure to tread lightly around the homicidal maniac that was Karasuba.

Not letting her smile leave her face she effortlessly plucked the previously used projectile from the door, "I think I'll keep this as a souvenir." Feeling as though she said everything that she needed to say she opened the door walked out. Closing the door behind her she couldn't help but let her smirk turn into a full blown smile as she walked down the corridor. Now holding up the plain looking fork to eye level she began to scan it over before putting it into her coat pocket. "Shiro Emiya huh…I have a feeling that you're going to show me some more interesting things," finishing up her private conversation she couldn't help but let out a dark snicker. "Show me just how special you are…my new cute little Ashikabi."

As Shiro watched the unknown creature leave he finally allowed himself to relax as he saw the door close behind her. Feeling completely exhausted he picked up the chair and just flopped down on it. Looking at Takami with a not so friendly expression he decided to get the ball rolling.

"What the hell just happened and what were those wings of light? Why did she kiss me, and what did she mean by forever and ever!" His questions may have come out harsher then he meant, but he didn't care. All Shirou wanted were answers and he wanted them now.

Swallowing the lump in her throat Takami was trying to figure out the best way to tell her new found son that he just became a part of a mad man's game.

'Well you see Minato."

"It's Shirou," he corrected her calmly.

"Right…sorry, well this is going to sound crazy."

"I've heard some pretty crazy things before; I think I can handle it," Shirou couldn't help but become more suspicious as he watched Takami take a pause. That couldn't be a good sign.

"That woman you just saw actually isn't human. She's actually something called a Sekirei and well, you've just become her partner for the Sekirei plan," spoke Takami not looking particularly comfortable with the situation.

"What do you mean I've become her partner?" Shirou couldn't help but start to worry; he really didn't like the sound of that. The last time a non human entity became his partner for some kind of plan was Saber during the Holy Grail war and that wasn't exactly a walk in the park.

With a sigh Takami could only frown as she looked at him, "you might as well get comfortable Shirou; this…this is going to take a little while to explain.

After listening to everything Takami had to say Shirou couldn't help but put his head back and cover his face with his right hand before letting out groan. This was not good…definitely not good. He needed to keep a low profile and stay under clock towers radar, but how was he supposed to do that when he was a part of yet another secret war. Why did his life have to be so complicated?

"So let me see if I understand this correctly," said Shirou as he put his hands on the table and looked Takami straight in the eyes. "You're telling me that I've just been bonded both physically, mentally, and to some degree spiritually to an alien creature called a Sekirei and that these Sekirei have supernatural powers. Making matters even worse these Sekirei are part of something called the Sekirei plan where they have to fight until only one Sekirei is left. Did I miss anything?" Shirou said with frown as he leveled a blank stare on an uncomfortable Takami.

"Well you forgot the part where you're now called an Ashikabi and that if you say anything M.B.I will retaliate against you with its full power," Takami couldn't help but give him a solemn look. Being responsible for telling her son that her company would hunt him down if he said anything about the Sekirei plan wasn't the best way to renew their relationship.

"Why is it always me," Shirou let out with a sigh. Seriously, staying under Clock Towers radar was going to be hard enough, but now he had to worry about an upstart company like M.B.I too! Regaining his composure Shirou Figured if he was stuck in this Sekirei plan he might as well know everything he could, he really didn't like jumping into things blind. He especially wanted to know what the prize was. The prize for the last secret war he was in had the power to destroy the world, who knows what crazy prize M.B.I was going to give.

"So when does the plan start."

"Actually you're in luck; the plan is still in the first stage which would give you more than enough time to wing some more Sekirei. Since your already apart of the plan you might as well wing as many as you can, seeing as how you've already winged one of the strongest your power as an Ashikabi will most likely draw in a lot of Sekirei," she couldn't help but smirk at that. "I hope your prepared Shirou, you're going to have quite few pretty young women fighting for you attention.

Ignoring her comment about being the possible center of attention for female aliens he got straight to the point that mattered, "wait, you're saying one Ashikabi can have more than one partner?" that's one huge difference between this plan and the grail war Shirou thought. That would definitely give an advantage to someone with a large amount of Sekirei. Speaking about the number Sekirei just how many were there? "Takami how many Sekirei are there total?" It was always good to know how many possible enemies you have.

"There are one hundred and eight Sekirei, but since an Ashikabi can have more than one Sekirei that makes the number of Ashikabi unknown since there are still quite a few un-winged Sekirei left."

"Is it normal for an Ashikabi to have more than one Sekirei?" Shirou knew he was asking a lot of questions, but he wanted to know as much as he possibly could. You could never be too well informed when you're in a battle for your life.

Hearing her son ask all these questions Takami couldn't help but feel a little proud. Apparently her son wasn't stupid and understood the value of information, which was good. After all, ignorance was never something to be proud of. "It may be unusual for an Ashikabi to have more then one Sekirei but it's not impossible. You'll most likely see Ashikabi with one or two Sekirei; however there will probably be a few powerful Ashikabi that have three plus Sekirei."

Having all his questions about the Sekirei plan answered Shirou couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He almost felt like he was back in the grail war listening to Rin explain the rules to him again. Then Shirou thought of two more questions he wanted answered before he called it a day and left. Seeing as how he had Takami here to explain everything to him he might as well take advantage of that.

"I have two more questions, what is the prize for the winner and will the bond between a Sekirei and Ashikabi be broken once the plan is over," Shirou really hoped Takami would say yes to his second question. Shirou couldn't even imagine telling Saber they were stuck with an alien that had bonded to him and that she was most likely some kind of mass murderer given her scent.

Giving him a strange look Takami couldn't help but wonder why he would ask that. Normally if a person were to be in a situation where a pretty girl kissed them and said forever and ever they wouldn't be thinking about their bond being broken any time soon. Even if that bond was with that psychopath Karasuba, at least Shirou would be safe with her as his Sekirei though.

"Well first off only Minaka the C.E.O of M.B.I knows what the prize is, but more importantly Shirou, I'm not sure if you fully understand what it means to wing a Sekirei," Takami said carefully.

Shirou just raised an eyebrow at her statement. He was sure he had a good understanding of what he had been dragged into after having all his questions answered, so what could he be missing?

"Didn't you say that winging a Sekirei is just a way for them to participate in the Sekirei plan as well as a necessity for them to stabilize their power and unlock their full potential?"

"Well that is true but that's only part of what winging a Sekirei entails. The truth is that when a Sekirei comes into contact with a person that's most compatible with them their bodies have a physical reaction. This reaction basically tells them that this person is the one their meant to be with; that this special person is the one they will love as they put it forever and ever. You should also keep in mind that when you wing a Sekirei they will acknowledge you as their master and do anything you ask them in hopes that it will make you happy. The truth is that all the Sekirei really want to do is find someone they can love and who will return those feeling, though I'm not sure Karasuba is capable of loving anyone though." As Takami finished her explanation of what winging a Sekirei truly meant she noticed that all the color began to drain from Shirou's face. He was even beginning to tightly grip the edge of the table as he looked at her with wide eyes.

Swallowing the lump in his throat Shirou whispered "are you tr-rting to tell me that winging a Sekirei is actually some kind of," taking a moment to swallow Shirou finished his question. "That winging a Sekirei is actually some kind of alien m-ma-mating ritual."

Takami gave him a concerned look as she answered him "well I've never heard it described like that, but yeah that pretty much hits the mark Shirou," now Takami was really starting to get worried. Shirou had gone completely pale and was starting sweat. "Shirou you don't look so good," Takami said with real worry in her voice.

This was bad real bad, Shirou thought. having to participate in another war was one thing ,but to have been essentially mated to an alien creature through a powerful bond was something Shirou wasn't prepared for. Now to and icing on the cake he just found out his mother and father were alive and that his mother was the one explaining this to him. Then to finish the metaphorical cake off with a cherry on top in the form of being given a sealing designation by Clock Tower, which had forced him to run back to Japan was just all to the stress of all these life changing events happening over such a short period of time finally getting to Shirou, all he was able to say was "Saber is going to kill me," with that said Shirou passed out and fell out of his seat. The last thing he saw was Takami running over to him in a panic.

END CHAPTER (Review!)

READ PLEASE: Now I know this chapter was short and not much happened, but I felt it was necessary in order for Shirou to fully understand the Sekirei plan and exactly what it meant to wing a Sekirei. I wanted Shirou to be well informed so he could understand his situation. I also did this because I am still thinking over the Sekirei I should give him. Before I start the next chapter I need to know which Sekirei I'm going to give him because that will be the deciding factor for the direction I take this story. So, once again I ask everyone to tell me which Sekirei Shirou should have and or how many. Keep in mind this is not a poll, but a way to help me narrow down which Sekirei I will give him. This may not be a poll and even though the final decision is mine if a lot of people tell me they want this Sekirei or that Sekirei to be with Shirou then I will most likely be inclined to make it happen. The list of Sekirei you can choose from is below and I ask again please tell me who you want. This will also be the last chapter I ask for everyone's input on what Sekirei everyone wants, so don't miss out on telling me who you would like to see Shirou with the most.
