[ ]- Action
Seven months flew by in no time at all as Minato and Kazehana attempted to make a normal life for themselves in Narita.
The key word being attempted.
After Kazehana moved in with him, Minato had to lay down the law on her drinking almost immediately. He didn't like the idea of her day drinking, or the amount of mixing she did between darks and lights. So in response he held over her the one thing he could to keep her in check.
"Mou Minato-kun, the last night in our first home and you make me sleep on the couch! You're so cruel~!"
As the early morning light peaks through the windows of their apartment, Minato and Kazehana are already up, dressed and ready to go. Minato in a white shirt, jeans and jean jacket while Kazehana rocks her favorite dress. A tight, purple chinese dress exposing most of her cleavage and bellybutton through a cross pattern down the middle of the dress. A smaller version of the same cross pattern is on the shoulders of the dress, just above where the sleeves open up. The dress is form fitting and features a wonderfully high skirt. The living room/kitchen is empty save for a pile of boxes and furniture which is where the spatting couple stands now.
"It's your fault really. You knew the rules and you broke them anyway." She was completely plastered before dinner was even served. With her needy nature coming out whenever she's drunk, Minato ended up babysitting her for the rest of the night until she passed out on the couch.
"Minato-kun! I swear you're an in the closet sadist with these punishments. I understand you being concerned with the drinking, but this was just for celebration!" They were waiting on the movers during this little spat. All of their belongings were boxed next to the Tv, couch, and unassembled bed seeing as most of the furniture belonged to the apartment. They had finished packing the bulk of their belongings last night, save for traveling essentials and cooking supplies. Afterwards they decided to have a dinner to celebrate their time in the apartment. However, this was spoiled by Kazehana taking the celebration too far and breaking out her sake.
"We'll be taking an 85 minute train ride back to Tokyo once the movers are gone. Then we'll have lunch before seeing your innkeeper friend. Sound like a plan?" Minato figured out a while ago that the best way to win arguements with Kazehana is to change the subject and hope it distracts her.
"Don't change the subject Minato! We've been together here for seven months, don't you want to celebrate at all?" Kazehana was starting to rub up against Minato in an attempt to lure Minato into sex.
"[Sigh] You know that I was planning on spoiling you on the train ride over, but if you insist I'll treat you now." He said pulling her into a tight hug with his left arm while starting to caress her face with his right. "The movers shouldn't be here for another 30 minutes. In the meantime, I'm going to show you just how much I held myself back last night." Minato's voice had grown husky with the last statement as his left hand crept down and started to play with Kazehana's plump rear.
Releasing a moan, Kazehana's grip on Minato's shirt tightened as he began to play with her ass. "Minato's so loving when he wants to be~. Why can't you be like this all the time~?" Kazehana began to to lay down a trail of kisses on the nape of Minato's neck while simultaneously undoing the belt to his jeans.
"Mmm...because if I spoil you every time I want to you'd be impossible to rein in!" All of a sudden he tossed her to the couch just as she was starting to get her prized toy out. With a leap he was on top of her as they began some aggressive love making in remembrance of their shared time in the apartment.
At MBI Tower
In the parking garage stands a few armed guards around 13 black SUVs. Near the front of these black SUVs is 15 overworldly beauties and a pair of white haired scientists. One, a woman wearing a stern look and labcoat, is smoking a cigarette while handing out a black cards to each of the beauties. Her short, white hair is messy from what looks like self inflicted hair pulling. The other is rocking a fusion of mad scientist and bond villain attire. He dons a white suite with a black tie, a white cape with a collar that goes all the way to his temples, and coke bottle glasses framed by white, spiky hair that fangs to his left.
"The time has finally come! The 15 of you are the first sekirei to be officially released into Shinto Teito and finally commence the Sekirei Plan! Now remember that all of you must go out and find your ashikabis, wing yourselves to them, and then fight for the glory of the Gods!" This madman is Hiroto Minaka; the CEO of MBI, one of the two to originally discover the sekirei, and the creator of the Sekirei plan.
"Remember the rules of the game and don't hesitate to use these VIP cards to take care of yourself if your ashikabi cannot." This other scientist is Sahashi Takami; Co-founder of MBI, the other scientist who found the sekirei, lead adjuster of the sekirei, unheralded babysitter of Minaka, and mother of both Sahashi Minato and Sahashi Yukari. "Now we'll be doing a final roll call, answer when I call your name."
"Number 5 Mutsu."
"Present", answers a tall Sekirei with messy silver colored hair and grey eyes. Sitting slightly askew on his hips is a rather nice cloth belt equipped with a sword. He's wearing black pants and a long sleeved shirt of the same shade. The shirt is open in the front, stopping just a few inches below his stomach, with crisscrossing bands of leather forming an 'X'. The sleeves near his shoulders have a single band around them. The only other items of note are a pair of black fingerless gloves and the orange scarf thats wrapped around his neck.
"Number 6 Homura."
"Here", is heard from a beautiful, silver haired man. His brown eyes are keen as he looks on in disgust at Minaka. He is wearing a long black coat, shirt, pants, dress shoes, and mask. The mask is pulled down to his neck at the moment, making his shirt look like a turtleneck.
"Number 9 Tsukiumi."
"Present!" Is proudly hollered by a stunning blonde haired blued eyed woman. Her hair is somewhat wavy and reached down to her hips. She is dressed in a black dress with a white underdress which showcases her cleavage, wears a choker on her neck, and has long brown boots with black stockings.
"Number 10 Uzume."
"I'm here!" Cheers a bubbly, well endowed brunette with her hair tied in a ponytail to the left. She's wearing a pink belly tee with purple sleeves, with a golden star on the front and a golden 10 on the back, along with a pair of capri jeans.
"Numbers 11 and 12, Hikari Hibiki?"
"We're here", is announced in unison by a pair of near identical twins. From their tall, slender builds, to their hazel eyes, to their brunette hair that seems to naturally separate in a V past their shoulder blades. The only differences between the two is that one is more well endowed in her chest, while the other is more gifted in the butt department. They're wearing matching violet and pink leather sleeveless belly tees, each with matching leather arm sleeves and yoga pants.
"Number 22 Kochou."
Grey eyes look pointedly through a pair of red half-moon glasses as a sexy librarian gives a curt 'Present'. Her short grey hair is complimented by a long, pale purple corset-like outfit that has frills around the neck and under her large breasts, and a belt tied around the waist. A side slit runs down in her outfit from the thigh.
"Number 28 Natsuka."
"Here", a cute blonde with hazel eyes meekly answers. She's wearing a bob haircut along with a cornflower blue sun dress with shoulder pads. She also has a loose cloth belt hanging low on her right hip; sitting there is a rolled up chain attached to two sheathed daggers.
"Numbers 38 and 39, Mitsuha Mitsuki."
"Ready!" Another pair of identical twins seems to be rearing to go. They each have long blonde hair tied into twin tails. They both are wearing black stockings, white gloves, and matching Chinese styled dresses. One black with a yellow vertical stripe in the middle of it and the other being the inverse. The only differences between these two is the beauty mark under the eye of Mitsuki, and their weapons. Mitsuha carries a normal whip, while Mitsuki has a spool of several, separate steel fibers with a linen strap that she carries over her shoulder as if it were a purse.
"Number 43 Yomi."
"I'm all good." This sekirei has straight brown hair and eyes, is wearing a black gown with red stripes, white shoulder sleeves, and matching gloves and stockings. Around her neck is tied a red ribbon. The most interesting thing about her outfit is probably the 2 and a third meters tall scythe that she's toting.
"Number 57 Yahan."
"Ready and willing", a dark-skinned Sekirei with jet black hair drawls. She's wearing a bikini top beneath a small hooded shawl, a buckled sarong, and leather knee-high boots.
"Number 65 Taki."
"Ufufu I'm simply ecstatic." A sensual voice answers as a cool beauty emerges from some mist that has crept up to Takami. "I can feel him even now Takami-sama." The grey haired beauty is wearing an elegant grey dress with a large slit down the middle revealing most of her cleavage and her belly button. The sleeves of the dress runs a few centimeters past her hands, concealing them, while the skirt is only just long enough to hide her decency.
"Congratulations, now get ready to depart." Takami says flatly without even looking up before continuing. "Number 73 Namiji."
"Here!" An enthusiastic response comes from the halberd wielding sekirei. She has grey eyes and brown hair, kept wild around her head, with some longer strands tied into a tail falling down her back. She wears a red top, leaving her back uncovered, with a white cloth wrapped around her hips. Long red gloves and stockings, ending in a white trim, compliment her look. Her halberd is 2 and a third meters tall as well, and is red with a white sekirei crest on either side of the blade.
"And finally Number 84 Yashima."
"Ready", squeakes a pseudo school girl with the what one could imagine being the hammer of Thor. Her cute bobbed, strawberry blonde hair has a blue ribbon tied into it. Her uniform is a white blouse, a black skirt and stockings, with a blue ascot. Her hammer stands 2 meters tall with each side of the hammer's end being 2 feet square. There is a small, but seemingly dense, counterweight on the opposite end of the hammer taking the shape of a red discus.
Minaka then swings his arms open and giddly declares, "Let the Sekirei Plan begin!" As he starts to ramble on about the age of the gods, not that anyone is listening.
Takami just shakes her head. "Alright, any questions before I have the lot of ya pile into the trucks?"
Uzume gained a cat-like grin, "Who do you think is going to be the first to be winged?" Most of the girls perk up at this.
"Ah, I forgot to mention that Number 3 has already beaten you to that." Minaka had interrupted his own victorious monologue to deliver this news.
This shocked all of the sekirei present to some degree as Kazehana was the infamous Lovesick Sekirei. One of the three sekirei who ran away from MBI along with the Hanya of the North and the Perverted Glasses. She was said to have ran away due to her ashikabi rejecting her. A collective chill went down each of their spines at the idea of being turned away by their destined one.
To hear of her being winged was like seeing a puppy that was left for dead being picked up off the side of the road. Mutsu and Takami were the most thrown off by this, but for two completely separate reasons.
(If Number 3 has found an ashikabi, then who's to say I won't find one myself. I've gotta see what type of guy got her to get over Minaka like that. Unless she just passed out drunk again and some creep took advantage of her) Mutsu was intrigued, as well as worried for is his old friend. Although he would never admit it.
Takami on the other hand wasn't worried at all. Minaka was though.
"I'm sure you had a good reason not to tell me this earlier right?" Takami had gained a dangerous look in her eyes.
"Well of course Takami-kun! We only found out about it recently when we perfected the sekirei bond tracking system!" Minaka spit out his alibi with lightning speed. He was still mighty sore from the ass whooping Takami had given him earlier, and he wasn't going to miss the debut of the plan because of some silly concussion.
"[Sigh] Well I guess it can't be helped. Of course I'm gonna look into everything on her ashikabi after this, and you'll help." She'd left no room for an argument with Minaka as her steely gaze turned to the gathered sekirei and softend. "This is farewell for now. Take care of yourselves and good luck to all of you." It was like what she imagined seeing Minato and Yukari off to college would look like... if university was battle royale. (He better stay in Narita and avoid all of this with that girlfriend of his. He's too fragile for this sorta thing.)
As the sekirei were loaded up into the SUVs and driven to their drop offs. Takami could only feel dread and guilt.
On the Westbound to Tokyo
Minato and Kazehana are sitting aisle and window respectively on the train to Tokyo. The moving service had taken care of their boxes, bed, couch, Tv, and Tv stand. Now they were just enjoying the ride to Tokyo.
Kazehana was resting her head on Minato's right shoulder just enjoying the contact with her ashikabi. Minato was catching a quick nap himself. His head had leaned into Kazehana's shortly after he dozed off. She couldn't help but reminisce as she watched the cityscape zoom by the window.
(He's changed so much in just a few months. When we first met, all he could do was blush and stutter when I teased him. He's become so much more bold with his perverted side around me. I may not have gotten the hot steamy sex every night that I wanted, but I've gotten to be with him every night without fail. I've welcomed him home, made meals, and even taken care of him when he was sick. I guess I really am a wife type after all!) A small smile and blush crept across Kazehana's face as she interlocked her left hand with Minato's right.
Her smile then shifted into a contemplative look. (I wonder just how many of my sisters will fall for Minato's charms as well. What will Takami and Minaka think of him? Knowing Minaka he'll try at every chance he gets to throw Minato curveballs to keep his game as interesting as possible; this early lead of ours won't last if he has any say in the matter.)
As the train entered a tunnel, Kazehana looked at the reflection of herself and Minato in the window. (Once he wings a few more sekirei and he sees a real sekirei battle, I'll approach him about stopping this madness. Maybe even Miya too. If Takehito saw what we are being forced through he wouldn't hesitate to try and stop this... I hope I won't have to resort to that logic though. I don't want to hurt you Miya. I really don't.)
Kazehana accidentally squeezed Minato's hand in order to keep calm. Minato subconsciously responded as his hand squeezed her back.
"Sorry Minato-kun, it seems I worried you. I'm fine now though, just rest for now. You're gonna need it for when you meet Miya." Kazehana couldn't help but be excited at the prospect of seeing Miya again. Even though they're polar opposites and haven't seen each other in over 5 years, Kazehana considers Miya to be her bestfriend.
"[Beep] We will be arriving at Tokyo station shortly. Please remain seated until the train is at a complete stop, and thank you for riding with us today." An automated voice pleasantly stated over the intercom.
Minato begins to stir as he sits up with a yawn and begins to wipe away any drool that may have slipped out in his slumber. "Yaaaaa, how long have I been out?"
"You were out like a light as soon as we sat down. We're nearing the station, so I think its safe to assume an hour and twenty minutes. Have a pleasant rest?" Kazehana lifted her head off Minato's shoulder so he could stretch l, but didn't let go of his hand.
"Well I feel rested, but I had another one of those dreams. This time it was a, yaaaa, an oni with a pleasant voice." Minato had been having these nightmares for some time on and off. It always went the same way. Minato would be in total darkness or fog, then someone would say he was trespassing or assaulting or something, then he'd be attacked by one of a rotating cast of villains. Either a demon wearing a hanya mask, a red spectre with a katana, or a faceless housewife. These dreams occurred so often that Minato just accepted them as normal by this point.
"Do you need me to hold you, and tell you everything's going to be all right~." Kazehana asked playfully as she took the hand she was holding and pressed it in between her breasts.
"I think I'll survive as long as we get some food when we arrive." Minato pulled his right hand from her breasts and took Kazehana by her right shoulder, drawing her into a cuddling embrace.
Kazehana gained a wistful smile, "I'm going to miss this."
This alarmed Minato, "What do you mean? I've come here to win and have you by my side forever. You better not be getting any ideas about dying in your head now because I'm not gonna have it."
Kazehana and Minato locked eyes as she gained a small blush and a more genuine smile. "Thank you Minato, but thats not what I was talking about. I was saying I'm going to miss this time where it's just you and me."
This very clearly baffled Minato.
Detecting this Kazehana elaborated, "You're going to be getting more sekirei Minato. It won't be the two of us anymore, I'll be sharing your love with any number of sekirei. That's why I tried to spend as much together with you as possible these last few months."
Minato kept a thoughtful look on his face as he pondered how best to respond to this statement. After 10 or 15 seconds, Minato gained a gentle smile as he grabbed Kazehana by the cheeks and layed down a barrage of loving kisses all over her face. Not kissing her lips so as to avoid making a scene.
When he was done, Minato looked the blushing Kazehana in her eyes as he adjusted his hands and hugged her tightly into his chest. "I love you regardless. I promise I'm not going to neglect you or give you any less love and affection than I have prior. Why would I? Why would I ever neglect my wife?"
Kazehana became a giggling mess as she rubbed her head into Minatos chest and started going on about love and manliness. Minato honestly couldn't hear it as it muffled from being spoken into his chest.
As the train slowed to a halt, and the automated arrival message sounded throughout the train car Minato added one last thought. "Besides, it's not like I'm guaranteed to get a bunch of other sekirei."
South of the Train Station
"Achooo!"
"Bless you"
Taki was so confused by sneezing all of a sudden that she almost didn't thank the tourist who blessed her. "Thank you."
(Weird. I didn't know that sekirei COULD sneeze. Anyway he's this way. My ashikabi's just a little farther north.) Taki had felt him since early this morning and he was only getting closer. Her reaction had ramped up dramatically since she was dropped off and with every step she takes it gets warmer.
Noticing all the stares on the street as she strutted her way down the sidewalk, Taki couldn't help but smile. "Fufufu, looks like all eyes are on me. I wonder if my ashikabi will eye me up like these men are." As she said that some passing businessmen averted there eyes in embarrassment.
Noticing this Taki couldn't help but feel put off by this. "So spineless that you can't even look at someone once they've acknowledged you? Ugh, I hope my ashikabi will be more honest." Taki continued down the sidewalk ignoring the stares, she was too focused on his presence. The warmth was that of a bonfire or a small burning building.
As she made her way down the block, the railway station came into view. (Is my ashikabi's power so potent that I could feel him when he was outside of the city?) Taki didn't have much time to think about this as she felt the heat lessen somewhat. Specifically on her left side.
Looking to her right Taki saw a nice little lunch spot across the street that was radiating the heat of her ashikabi. A smile graced her lips as the crossing signal sounded and a crowd of people swept across the street, herself included.
Stepping inside the cafe, Taki's sight was drawn to a booth on the wall to the left of the entrance. In it was a couple, another sekirei who she didn't recognize and him. Taki practically forgot about the other sekirei as she just fixated on her ashikabi. Brunet, motley hair that falls to just above his shoulders. Gentle gray eyes and a kind smile. A normal white tee shirt, a blue denim jacket, blue jeans, and gray flats. A perfectly normal looking guy with slightly above average height to most, but the heat that was permeating and seemingly pulling Taki towards him said otherwise. (There you are)
"Um ma'am? Helloooo? Ma'am would you like a table?...Ma'am may I help you with something?" Taki never even heard this as she walked over to her man, much to the further confusion and dismay of the hostess. "Wait ma'am that's a party of two!" Poor Akane had only been hired two weeks prior and she was already getting weirdos. (First that milf and here boy toy, then the american cosplaying as a female bowser, and now this! Ugh lunch can't come soon enough.)
Minato was currently enjoying a pleasant lunch with Kazehana, people watching until the food arrived. "Hey is that a Bowsette cosplay?" Minato pointed out.
"I don't know the character, but it's pretty sexy. Would you like me to dress up like her Minato-kyun~" Kazehana only watched romantic comedies and love stories on TV so she had no clue who this was supposed to be. That didn't stop her from trying to tease Minato as she leaned her breasts onto the table. This was a decoy though, as she slipped her right stiletto off and reached across the booth with her foot to rub Minato's flacid manhood into shape.
"Wha?! Kazehana!" Minato shout whispered. "This is too inappropriate for a public place!"
His words fell on deaf ears though.
"Oh? And here I thought Minato-kun was starting to build up an immunity to my teases. I'm glad I haven't lost my touch. Fufufu, and to think I didn't even know you were into this kind of thing, I must be a psychic." Kazehana was having too much fun to stop now. The thrill of doing this in public and against Minato's wishes only made it hotter. She would have gone on if it wasn't for the clearly reacting sekirei who had just walked in the door.
Stopping her kneading and pulling her foot down Kazehana kept her mischievous smile. "Ara Minato-kun, it seems we have our first new lover." She said as the sekirei walked in a dazed manner passed the confused human hostess.
"Huh?", was all Minato could say before the sekirei had made her way over and sat down right in his lap.
Hugging Minato tight, Taki moans lightly to herself, "Mmmm, my ashikabi-kun. I've felt you since this morning. I'm Number 65 Taki, the Mist Sekirei." Taki said as she leaned away and allowed Minato a little space to breathe. She wouldnt notice it now, but just holding onto him was alleviating the heat of the reaction drastically.
Meanwhile Kazehana mouthed to the utterly befuddled hostess that Taki was with them so as to spare her any more grief.
While Kazehana dealt with the hostess, Minato was taking in Taki's form.(Skimpy dress, silver hair, narrow face, huge breasts, and a butt that might beat Kazehana's. I wonder if all the sekirei I come across will be like this.) Minato couldn't help but feel a little exasperated at how similar she is to Kazehana.
"Well I'm Sahashi Minato, you can just call me Minato. So, uh, Taki-san... you're reacting to me?" Minato didn't really know what to say or how to react at this sudden development.
"Yes, but more importantly is she your sekirei too?" Taki pointed to Kazehana who was enjoying this whole exchange.
"I am Sekirei Number 3 Kazehana, Minato's first wife. Welcome to the family." Kazehana said in a surprisingly warm manner.
(I thought she would act jealous, but she seems...delighted? Something's not right here.) Minato's mind was racing at the prospect of a new sekirei and the way Kazehana was acting. While he knew he might have more sekirei, he didn't expect to see them so soon or so abruptly.
"Number 3? Wait you're the Lovesick Sekirei?! I never thought I'd get to meet a single digit so soon! Or that I'd share an ashikabi with one! And the Lovesick Sekirei no less! I really gotta know how the two of you met and fell in love! If that's okay with you of course." Taki was acting like she had just met a pop idol the way she raved about Kazehana, which piqued Minato's attention.
"Of course I'll tell you, but it's a bit of a yarn so you might wanna get comfortable...and just call me Kazehana. You see it all started when I returned to Japan for the plan..." With that Kazehana was off, almost salivating at the opportunity to tell her favorite love story. Minato knew he was in for the long haul so he called a waiter over and ordered another meal for Taki and himself. (She might as well have lit a match in a glycerin factory.)
Once he was done with the order and the waiter was gone it hit him. (How is a non single digit sekirei out loose right now? Did they let them out early? I better ask Taki once we're done here.)
Minato would have to wait for Kazehana to finish her tale before he could get Taki's attention. (I hope that Inn keeper friend of Kazehana's is patient, because we may be here awhile.)
