I'm currently rereading Sekirei before continuing much further on to refresh my memory. Knowing me; this fic will probably start off well, then lump down, then pick back up and then who nows?
At the center of Shin-Tokyo, the Tieto Tower lay as a symbolic representation of the momentous strength that Mid Bio Informatics possessed as a worldwide conglomerate that dominated in technology, economics and medical science. According to the man who made MBI possible, his tower was definitely not a rip off from that one movie.
Said man was still dressed in his full work attire despite the darkness of the late night. His wide office was near silent, the constant hum of all the air conditioners that made sure he didn't faint from wearing that a thick suit and wide cape in the middle of summer being the only noise in his office.
The lenses of Minaka Hiroto's glasses had an unnaturally bright glow on them as he reread the same report he had gotten earlier that day. A wide smile was on his face as he finished reading for the fourth time, printing every last word to memory.
Numbers 11 and 12 were defeated but not terminated by their opponent and subsequently still remained in the game. Yet MBI did not know who the one that managed to defeat the pair was.
The sole street camera on site had been unfortunately struck by the one of their initial lightning bolts thus making it impossible to retrieve footage but evidence from their trackers suggested that they were defeated. There was no other reason for them to stop moving for a prolonged period of time.
He would have thought that it would have been Number 6 but his tracker indicated that he was not in the same vicinity of the twin Sekirei. In fact, there were no Sekirei within the same vicinity of the twins at all.
…so it begins. The Queen had not been bluffing in the least when she had made the claim of knowing all about his Sekirei plan and her claim of being able to ruin him was not just an empty threat. And all he had to do to stop this was withdraw his claim to her title.
Hehehe… he started to slowly cackle in his chair. A wild card would not be so unwelcome in his Sekirei plan. What was life without his risks? One can certainly not achieve anything without risking something first.
Besides, if this outsider proved too much of an interference in the Plan then he would simply send the Disciplinary Squad in.
Quickly tapping on his keyboard, he brought up the webpage that had changed his life; the one that had told him of the whereabouts of a crashed alien spaceship. Efficiently navigating his way around the profile lists, he rapidly found the one profile name that had the golden crown.
'LOLBorderHaxxor' was the purple name that he had clicked on; the name of the one that had sent him the location of the Sekirei. So while her knowledge of the Sekirei did not surprise him; her eerily accurate conjecture on his plan was disturbing.
That she had somehow infiltrated a Sekirei of her own into his city without raising any alarms only excited him. The prospect of studying a Sekirei that had survived without MBI was especially alluring.
Still, she had essentially threatened to ruin him if he did not capitulate and Minaka Hiroto does not bow down to threats!
His fingers were a blur as he typed up a message in response to her threats. She was challenging him and trying to make him screw up. Well… he had one response to that.
Challenge Accepted you…
Deep within her confines, a being of great power capable of shaping the world stirred from her slumber at the sound of a beep from across the chamber. From the depths of her warm futon, she poked her head through a gap to view her 'imported' laptop placed on the table that she had 'imported' from the outside world.
Yukari Yakumo refreshed her net page, her face sleepy as she blinked at the slightly interesting message from that idiot human.
Oh… 'ProfessorSwaggles' actually responded…
So that meant that Komeji was already causing a commotion… that was slightly faster than she had anticipated but not unwelcome. It just meant that things will go faster.
Still, she didn't really want to hear from that failure of the male race again all that much. An entire ship of naïve and hot alien woman and he decides to put them into some sort of tournament. Disgraceful… that would have been the perfect chance to build a huge harem of beautiful alien woman who could literally do nothing but love him…
Sighing in disappointment, she tucked her head back through the gap and was stuffed her head comfortably back into her futon. She wanted to get some early sleep for tomorrow when she would have to deal with an angry Shrine Maiden. The ink on the money she placed in her donation box should have faded away by tomorrow morning.
…
Oh wait a minute…
The magic glass doors opened up for Koishi and Akitsu as they took their leave of the really big building with all the shops. By now, Akitsu had gotten rid of the awfully dirty white shirt and was fully dressed in this pretty icy kimono which was held together with a really velvety black sash that tied up as a ribbon at the back.
Of course, Koishi didn't just buy one set of clothes for Akitsu! Since Akitsu seemed to really like them and wasn't all that interested in any other fabrics, she had bought a whole ton of them for the new Komeji. That woman cashier was even nice enough to give them all these bags to put them in, albeit with a perplexed look on her face.
Said bags were now evenly distributed across both their arms despite Akitsu saying that she could carry them all by herself. Koishi was a good girl! And she didn't want Akitsu to carry all those heavy bags by herself. That being said, neither of them showed any form of stress at carrying the heavy burden.
Oh! And she finally got her hat back from Akitsu since she found some really good headband that really suited Akitsu's outfit. The familiar soft weight of her hat was really comforting to her. Her big sister had gotten her this hat afte-
"How?" Akitsu asked from behind all of a sudden.
"How I'm making everyone ignore us?" Koishi immediately asked in return. Almost everyone that had ever taken a walk with her had asked this question before.
And well… for just about everyone else to somehow ignore her yet not doesn't fully ignore her was a bit disturbing at first for her too. If that made any sense at all? Why was she narrating in her head anyway? That was the real question.
Shrugging, she went about to answer the new Komeji's question as all the other humans on the footpath walked around them, acknowledging that there was something on the footpath yet not acknowledging either of their presences in the slightest.
"I control the subconscious remember? I can just make everyone subconsciously not notice us." Koishi reminded her new daughter… sister... what would one call their relationship anyway?
Akitsu nodding in what may be understanding brought back Koishi from her trouble with coming up with the proper word to describe Akitsu's relation to her. She was family now but what position would she be? Oh well! She'll let big sister decide later when she came back home! For now Akitsu's just is her sister.
"Why?" Akitsu asked next. Koishi kind of wondered if Akitsu liked asking questions with just one word. She seemed to speak fine otherwise.
…
"What?!" Koishi exclaimed out loudly, much to the shock of her new sister who cringed back. Did Akitsu really not know why she made both of them invisible to everyone earlier?
I mean sure she did all the time in Gensokyo but she actually had a very good and legitimate reason for doing it this time.
"You were naked remember?!" Koishi frantically asked of Akitsu, hoping that would draw an understanding expression again. She was disappointed when Akitsu did not seem the least perturbed by this.
"If you just let any man that's not your destined love see your naked body then your maidenhood purity will be forever lost!" Koishi fervently warned her new younger sister. "As your loving and adorable big sister; it's my solemn duty to make sure that never happens. I swear it to you Akitsu Komeji!"
Akitsu blushed slightly at the mention and reminder that she was a Komeji now and thus Koishi's sister. Though at the mention of big sister…
Unconsciously, Akitsu looked down at the shorter Koishi who had to look upwards to see Akitsu's eyes directly. The ice woman's eyes drawing comparisons between the respective heights of the younger and older sister. Her hand tempted to visually draw this out.
"Hey!" Koishi cried out upon noticing what Akitsu was doing. Just because Akitsu was taller and bigger than her didn't mean anything! Her big sister had said that age and wisdom meant a lot more than your height and bust size and she was sure that she was a lot older than Akitsu!
Voicing her outrage, she floated vertically up to have her chin at the highest tip of Akitsu's head. Now Akitsu had to look up at her. "Wahahaha, now I'm taller than you now Akitsu!"
Akitsu doesn't respond and simply waited as Koishi playfully went on about how Akitsu was still centuries too early to challenge her position of bigger sister. Watching the smaller Komeji amidst her antics, Akitsu felt a small tug on her lips as Koishi's uplifting attitude spread.
"Wah!" Koishi cried out as she finally remembered what she was trying to do. She still hadn't found a place to sleep yet! Two young girls out in the big, big human town filled with all kinds of bad and good people shouldn't be sleeping out in the streets.
"C'mon Akitsu! We need to find somewhere to sleep!" Koishi exclaimed as dropped back to the ground and tugged on Akitsu's sleeves. "Onward! To Sleep!" She heroically roared as she led them to sleep!
"Wooow!" Koishi looked on in wonder, her squishy face pressed against the clear glass as she looked down at the city from the hotel room she found and rented. There was a fierce negotiation over whether she could get a room, but eventually she had managed to win. Who knew that you needed all these cards and things called visas and this really strange concept of buying a room before you even used it?
But still, Lady Kanako had told her that one of the biggest rules in the human world was that money could buy your way into a lot of things. She wasn't joking too! The grouchy old man in the silly red suit became nice all of a sudden when she gave him just a single diamond! He must be really poor if she could bribe him with just one yen!
Turning around she found Akitsu sitting calmly on her bed, alternating between looking at her new sister and testing the fluffiness of her bed. But mostly it looked like Akitsu was waiting on Koishi to do something.
"So is there anything you want to do Akitsu?" Koishi asked Akitsu to see if she wanted to play anything at all. It had nothing to do with the fact that she had no idea what Youkai did for fun in the outside world. Not at all!
Akitsu considers the question for a moment before answering. "Anything."
"Anything?" Koishi asked in return, confusion over the answer lacing her voice. She was sure that saying anything didn't answer her question.
"Danmaku then?" Koishi asked Akitsu. Maybe she could try to teach her now! And then when they come back home, Akitsu will be a full pro in danmaku! That would be so good!
"Danmaku?" Akitsu quietly asked, unfamiliar with the term.
"Oh, it's just like bullet hell games, except a lot more realistic!" Koishi explained for her. That was all that was needed to explain Danmaku.
"Don't go around doing Danmaku in the city. At least half of it would be go-"Yukari quipped in a sleepy voice from a sudden gap in reality that was certainly not there beforehand.
Akitsu reacted aggressively to the sudden intrusion. Sharpened thin shards of ice formed immediately and were fired off at Yukari who was caught midsentence.
The Gap Youkai tiredly looked at the incoming projectiles and with a simple wave of her fan; she opened a second larger gap to swallow up the ice picks. "So you got a dog that can throw pointy things as well… at least she's bigger than the vampires."
Before Akitsu could get in another volley of attacks, Koishi had immediately stepped in. "It's the self-deluded seventeen year old lady!"
Yukari suppressed a sigh at the derogative name that the younger Komeji had given her after overhearing Reimu. She really didn't want to try and persuade her otherwise right now. And she is seventeen in her Youkai years…
"Yes, yes now… how are you enjoying the outside?" Yukari asked Koishi, the same Koishi that that Akitsu was now hovering behind protectively.
Koishi's face brightened as she let out a deluge of all the really incredible things she saw in the city! "And the best part is that I got a new sister!" Koishi waved wildly at Akitsu, who flushed again at the mention.
A new sister? The Sekirei was sister now? Meh… okay. That worked fine and might actually come in handy later. But now…"Do you want to know something secret?" Yukari asked Koishi cryptically.
Koishi's face popped up right next to Yuakri, nodding furiously as she wanted to be let into the secret.
Yukari managed a smile as she whispered to Koishi. "The Sekirei are aliens."
Koishi stopped moving from the revelation; her face was impassive as she slowly turned around to look at Akitsu. In the confines of the rented room, the ice woman had heard what Yukari had whispered and Koishi's sudden coldness was now sending shivers to her. Would sh-
"Akitsu is an alien…" Koishi softly tested as the Youkai examined Akitsu. "Is that true, Akitsu?"
Said woman hesitated. Fear of her 'sister' suddenly kicking her out of her family because she was an alien coolly crept up her spine. One side of her wanted to outright deny her heritage, so that she wouldn't be cast out.
The one side that won, the one that didn't want to forever feed a lie to Koishi simply made her nod dumbly; her eyes then immediately shifting to avoid Koishi's eyes.
Subsequently, she failed to see the bright golden starts that formed in Koishi's eyes and were expanding rapidly as she waddled up to Akitsu.
"I'm sisters with an alien…" Koishi said in an uncharacteristic voice that did not match her glowing facial expression at all. "Do you know what this means Akitsu?"
Akitsu, her face still averted and not wanting to look at Koishi, shook her head in negative.
"It means… A PARTY!" Koishi then suddenly happily exclaimed out loud. Quickly snatching up the hands of a pleasantly surprised Akitsu, she raised them both up into the air as she cheered for who knows how many times today. "Quick Akitsu! We need to find all the sake in the building!"
"Wait!" Yukari interjected as Koishi was amidst asking Akitsu if she has ever met the Lunarians. This was all cute and confusing to her but there was something she had to get done before she could go back to sleep. And if Koishi disappeared to find the alcohol, she could only imagine the mess it would be for her to find her again.
"No party?" Koishi asked Yukari, her face shocked that Yukari didn't want a party. "Fake seventeen year olds are invited too."
"No, no. You can have party later it's just there's more to the secret…" Yukari let herself drag on for dramatic effect. She had the desired effect as Koishi disappeared from Akitsu's immediate vicinity; letting the ice woman fall back down onto the bed in surprise. The green haired Youkai reappeared ridiculously close to Yukari again, her face expectant as she awaited her to say something.
"Tell me." Koishi demanded up close to Yukari again, an after image left with Akitsu.
Yukari smiled ruefully. "Well, let me tell you all about something called the Sekirei Plan."
Akitsu perked up at the mention of the Sekirei plan, while Koishi only repeated the word. "Sekirei Plan?"
"Yep, yep. It's a really evil plan made by an evil scientist and his evil company called MBI." Yukari elaborated on this evil Sekirei Plan. "For you see there are about 108 Sekirei in total."
"More aliens!?" Koishi queried in deep interest.
"Yep. All of them just like your Akitsu." Yukari leisurely said as she relaxed back in her futon on the other end of the gap.
"108 busty beautifuly alien woman?" Koishi asked in even deeper interest.
"Essentially." Yukari shrugged at that. That more or less described the aliens that had managed to somehow sneak past the Lunarians to land on Earth; really lucky of them really. It was a shame that those moon rabbits found them on Earth eventually anyway.
So bothersome…
"Now. This evil man has a really evil plan." Yukari told Koishi. "You see, he's going to let all those 108 busty women out and find true love with some random guy they like on the street."
Koishi was confused with that point. How was that evil?
Ironically, Yukari read her thoughts and answered her question. "That doesn't seem so bad yet but then he's going to make all these new lovey dovey couples fight each other in a tournament and the losers will be forcibly split apart."
Koishi gasped in horror. Getting men and women to fall deeply in love with each other and to then force them to fight in a battle royale where the losers will lose their lover… that was just despicable.
Yukari nodded in agreement with Koishi's horrified expression. That was pretty cruel and demented for someone to do. "And that's why I sent you here."
"It is?" Koishi asked in surprise.
"Yep. You're the hero that Shin-Tokyo wants… but not the one it deserves… or something like that." Yukari dramatically tried to tell Koishi only to fail when she forgot that one quote. It made no sense to her anyway.
Koishi nodded as she had an epiphany on what she was destined by the fake seventeen year old to do. For there was only one thing that she could do! "So you mean that I have to…
"Yep! Stop this evil plan so that those lovers' fiery love can continue!" Yukari concluded for Koishi. Knowing the Lunarians; it would probably take them a few years before they could finally agree on what to do with alien craft that had skimmed past the moon and landed on Earth. Thus she had plenty of time.
I have a really dumb idea for a crossover. What if instead of that multinational taskforce attacking the sekirei island, it's replaced with NASA strikeforce. The memetic Touhou version of course and it'll have the badass Neil Armstrong, a veteran of the Earth-Lunarian War who fought toe to toe with the Lunarian Generals who could solo modern armies with ease, jumping onto the island from America armed with his handheld railgun and his nuclear powered jetpack as he fights the Disciplinary Squad while NASA gunships fly overhead strafing the island with their laser miniguns.
I feel slightly dumber writing all this.
