-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"N- nani?! You're the Phantom Ashikabi I've been hearing about?" Saki stared in awe at her Ashikabi, who was sitting in a seiza position with a pained expression in face, beside him watching TV was Akitsu.

"So that's what I've been called huh? Interesting…" He said while trying adjust his sitting position, only for his legs to be freezed by Akitsu. "A- akitsu –chan, I'm hurting here… Can you let me go now? It's been 3 hours…"

Akitsu looked at him for a second before looking back at the TV. "No." Saki sweatdropped looking on her supposedly awesome Ashikabi being tortured by his Sekireis.

"A- anyway, Saki- chan, since you're my Sekirei now, I won't hold back in training you. I'll get you strong and elegant like my two sadistic- eeek!" A shard of ice suddenly flew near his manhood, stopping right before it. He noticed Akitsu was glaring at him. "U- uh adorable Sekireis… aha… ahaha" He laughed nervously as he sweated nervously.

Saki stared at him, looking a bit incredulous. "Aren't you teaching me how to wield this katana? You're already tormenting me enough with those brutal sparring!"

Sasuke chuckled a bit, due to the pain. "Yea… but I only corrected your stance and movements. You wasted too much energy, and you always leave a gap to your defense, and that's not even going all in the defensive!"

Saki twitched in annoyance. "Tsk, I doubt I'll learn anything productive from you."

"Well, I taught Akitsu- chan and Pine- chan how to fight…" He said as he struggled to get out of Akitsu's ice.

"Even Matsu? A mind- type Sekirei? Impossible!"

"Well… you can ask dear Akitsu- chan here…" He gestured to Akitsu.

Saki looked at Akitsu. "Is he telling the truth? Did he really taught you?" She asked.

"Ah… yes, Sasuke- sama taught us and improved our ability to fight." She replied. "Not only in the field… but also in bed…" She mumbled, blushing wildly.

Saki gave stared at her for a second before her brain processed what she just said. "Sasuke…"

Sasuke gulped in fear. "Y- yes..?"

"YOU PERVERT!"

"Kyaa!"Saki then proceed to beat up poor Sasuke, who was still in seiza position, screaming in horror, mind you.

Sasuke lied at the floor, beaten, his legs numbed from all the sitting. His head was by Saki's lap as she pouted with a "Hmp!" Akitsu decided to go to Matsu's room to see what's happening at the city, leaving them all alone.

After several minutes of silence, Saki stroked his hair. "Saki…" Sasuke started. "Do you like it here? Or do you prefer to be back at the MBI?"

Saki flicked his forehead as she chuckled. "Geez, Sasuke, You're such an idiot… I may not have known you for a long time like those two, but I could say right now, that I like being here, with my sisters… with you."

Sasuke smiled softly as he gently brought her into a kiss. "Don't worry about fitting in, you already have become someone worth protecting along with them."

"Sasuke…" The two stared at each other's eyes for a minute before they were interrupted by a cough, courtesy of Matsu. Saki blushed when she realized what position she is in.

"Geez, Pine- chan, can't we have a lovey- dovey moment here? I swear you are too- " He stopped when he saw Matsu's aura darkened. "Err… I love you Pine- chan?" He chuckled nervously.

Akitsu entered the scene, looking at the scene, she got confused. "Ah… Sasuke- sama being ecchi again?' Sasuke couldn't say anything without inciting the wrath of Matsu so he just settled with face palming.

Taking a deep breath, Matsu calmed her nerves. "While you were doing something… inappropriate without me, I managed to get a message from Minaka that were sent to all Ashikabis… well save for you, of course." Matsu then showed the message she acquired at her laptop.

Sasuke sat up from Saki's warm thighs, earning a sigh of discontent from her. Taking the laptop from Matsu, he viewed the message before giving it back to Matsu.

"Pine- chan, Akitsu- chan…" said sekireis looked at him. "You feel like working out at night? After all, I did promise Saki- chan here to see how awesome her senpais look like after all their hard work, ne?" Both smirked at him.

"Oh? I believe my reprogrammed Crow- chan needs some field testing after all. Just battling Akitsu- chan and you will be insufficient for data collection…" Matsu said with as she adjusted her Glasses as she grinned, thinking of the chance of testing out her weapon at her targets.

"Ah… if it's Sasuke- sama's will, I shall follow…" Akitsu said with a blank expression as usual.

Saki got curious and peeked at Matsu's laptop. Reading the message, she asked. "So… are you planning on winging her, Sasuke..?"

Sasuke sensed the doubt in her, knowing what she was trying to say, he replied. "Nah, It's not my place whether or not they will be winged by me… we only need to fend off the sekirei from any unworthy Ashikabi that wants to wing her forcibly, you know, like that Hayato guy that Matsu told me about. Pfft, man, that guy is a joke." He said cheeringly as he stood up. "Alright, we leave at dusk. Prepare necessary equipment for later use. I guess I could cook for the trip… We can think this as a field trip for little ol' Saki- chan here… Ow!" Sasuke rubbed his head caused by Saki's shaking fist.

"Don't treat me like a child! Geez, I swear… ". Sasuke chuckled.

"Ahaha… gomen, gomen, Saki- chan."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

(3 hours before Designated time of meet) (Shinto Teito East Park)

A figure was walking along the park, just passing by to feel the afternoon cool breeze when she spotted Sasuke, not in his genjutsu appearance sitting at the bench, staring at the ground. Normally, she would have just ignore him and be on her way to wherever she is going but curiosity began to get to her. Thinking it over she decided to speak to him.

"Ne, ne, why are you here all by yourself?" She asked as she approached him. Sasuke looked at her for a second before looking back the ground, smiling.

"I should ask you the same question, ojou- san, what a cutie like you coming here at this hour? And by yourself no less. It gets dangerous at night you know?" She chuckled as she sat down at the bench.

"I can handle myself just fine you know? I'm strong!" She said as she pumped her fist. "And I'm just looking for somewhere to eat, just so you know. How about you?" they became silent after. Not knowing what to say, she tried to speak again when Sasuke suddenly spoke in a somber tone, his smile never leaving.

"I'm just contemplating on my life so far ojou- san. A fresh air would do me good from the chaos at my home, after all." Sasuke contemplated on how his life is so far. It was one of those time where he needs to sort all of his depressing feelings out before it eats him from inside. Shaking out his thoughts, he looked at woman. "Ever thought of someone you treasure, rescuing you, or pulling you out of unspeakable evil?"

The woman looked at him, before laughing. "No way! If anything, It would be me saving that person!" She said as she puffed her chest out. "Why the sudden question?"

"Because I need someone to save me from myself…" He mumbled.

"Huh? I'm sorry, what you say? I didn't quite hear you." Sasuke suddenly stood up, and his expression went back to being cheerful.

"It's nothing ojou- sama, just a simple thought." He looked at his watch, realizing what time it is. "Well, I have to go now, thank you for your company Ojou- san." He bowed, before walking away from the park.

"You're welcome! I hope you fix whatever problems you have!" She shouted at him

"And I hope you find your Ashikabi, Ojou- san!" He shouted back as he waved, before disappearing at the corner.

The woman was shocked that he knows she was a sekirei. Then her heart suddenly beats faster than ever before. She began to have feelings that was never there before. Looking at the path he walked in she thought in a blush. 'Don't tell me, he is my Ashikabi?'

She began to ran, hoping to catch up to him. She almost gave up finding her Ashikabi before, then suddenly finding him in a park, only to lose track of him again. With renewed vigor, she actively searched for her beloved one once again.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Gomen, gomen hehe." Sasuke chuckled nervously as they travelled to the botanical garden of the city. "Someone caught my attention, so I didn't realize what time it is until I looked at my watch…"

All three girls were staring at him suspiciously. "Don't tell me this is another hidden meetings with some tramp that you and Saki- tan did. Tsk, sacrificing precious cooking time for some bitch!" Matsu said looking at him for answers.

"Of course not! She was just passing by and wanted just to chat, so me, being the gentleman, entertained her." Sasuke said proudly.

Saki scoffed at him. "Right… that caused us to be late for the-" They heard a huge explosion coming from the garden "…party, see Sasuke, see what you did?" She glared at him.

"Geez, I said I was sorry! Maybe I'll treat you all to dinner tonight after this?" Sasuke weakly offered. They thought about for a second before Akitsu replied. "Ah… Sushi, please." All of them looked at Sasuke for confirmation making him sweatdrop in awkwardness.

With a big sigh he agreed. "Alright! We'll go eat sushi after this ok?" All his sekirei grinned in content. Sasuke just shook his head in resignation. "Well, there goes my money…"

When they arrived at the entrance they saw two Sekireis going at each other. Matsu immediately recognized one of them. "Homura?" She turned to look at Sasuke. "Ne, Sasu- tan, can you leave this one to me?"

"Oh? You know him or something, Pine- chan?"

Matsu nodded in reply. "Yes. We have met before in passing, fought with him a couple of times. Sekirei #06 Homura, fire- type Sekirei, is neither a boy nor girl until his/her Ashikabi decides." She said as she scan the area around them. She detected other signatures further away from their locations. "There are several energies detected at the center of the garden, Sasu- tan."

Sasuke nodded. "Alright. Akitsu, you and Saki- chan here, go ahead to that location and assist this 'Green Girl'. I'll stay back here to check for any more Ashikabis that are interested to this sekirei."

"Ah… Hai, Sasuke- sama."

"Err… will you be ok by yourself?" Saki asked in concern. Sasuke gently smiled at them and kissed both of their foreheads.

"Don't worry, I won't die from a mere hottie eh?" Sasuke smirked, looking at their glare.

"Mou… you better! I want the sushi after this!" Both Akitsu and Saki then proceeded to go to their destination, leaving Matsu.

"I'm heading down too, don't interfere with my data collection alright Sasu- tan?"

Sasuke chuckled in reply. "I wasn't planning on it, Pine- chan. You can easily beat her to the ground."

Matsu then left to assist her ex- teammate, 'time for a reunion, I suppose…'

-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

(With Homura)

Homura was having a hard time with his opponent. Why? Because she is too proficient in fighting close- combat. While his ability is nothing to scoff at, he usually preferred to fight at a fixed distance so he would be safe from his own flames, his control with it is inconsistent, at best.

Another swing of her cutlass, duck. He tried to jump back, but she catches up to him easily. Suddenly an unavoidable kick came from the right side, making him gag. His back slammed into a tree, then when he was to dodge a slash from her…

*CLANG*

He saw someone that felt familiar blocking the strike meant for him with her gauntlet.

"Geez, Homura- tan, you're having a hard time with these rookies?" Matsu smirked as she held her ground.

Homura was surprised to see Matsu. He did not expect to see his comrade, and in battle no less. "M- matsu?"He stuttered, in disbelief. Matsu looked back at him, smirking.

"In the flesh! As much as I want to chat with you, Homura- tan, I guess I have to deal with her first eh?" Homura looked at her in disbelief. Did he heard right? Matsu fighting a combat- type Sekirei?

"What are you talking about? You should let me handle this and stay back, Matsu." Homura said as he struggled to stand up. Matsu rolled her eyes.

"I guess we will find out then. Crow Activate!" She replied as her program came to life.

She then pushed the Sekirei back surprising her with her sudden boost of strength. "Sekirei #02 Matsu at your service!" She boldly declared while taking her glasses off.

"Sekirei #67 Seraph cutlass- type." She plainly said, not giving away any more info about herself. She charged at her, intent on finishing her quickly.

"Tsk, time to activate, Crow: Perception Mode!" Her iris then rotated very fast as all the energy that Crow distributed throughout her body transferred to her eyes.

Crow: Perception mode was a solution she came up with after seeing the huge wait time she has, when gathering Akitsu's weakness in a sparring match, a week before meeting Saki.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Flashback

Matsu was sweating profusely after dodging another barrage of icicles from Akitsu. It was their first sparring session after training by themselves after a week. They were going at it for a good 30 minutes before Sasuke decided to end the match.

"Alright, that's enough for now, Pine- chan, weren't you able to detect any openings in Akitsu- chan's attack? You haven't made any moves to counter her, all you doing is dodging." Matsu sighed as she scratched her head in confusion.

"Yea, I figured that the prediction ability that Crow has progresses faster depending on three factors: Opponent's level of mastery, my own proficiency at awareness and reaction time on moving objects, and Crow's energy distribution throughout my body." She said as she jotted down notes to improve her utility. "I know that while I can modify Crow- kun to enhance its analytical knowledge of their styles, it would take me a long time to be able to code them into its receptor, and I don't have that much time…" She continued to mumble. "… However, if I were to modify it to transfer all accessible energy from my body to my eyes for a short amount of time, I may put the ability to an "overdrive" state. Speeding the prediction ability up to at least 70% its normal speed but leaving me vulnerable in the process…" She smirked as she stood up from her spot.

Sasuke noticed Matsu's excitement. 'She seemed to have found a solution to her problem…' He thought. Not wanting to distract her from running into their her room and doing whatever she's was going to do, he called it a day and dismissed both of them, as he prepared himself to teach Saki.

(Flashback ends)

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Right now, Matsu's body has just have a higher conditioning than a Mind- type Sekirei which is due to her training and experience at the field. But it is still inferior to that of a Combat- type Sekirei. All she was doing so far was just dodging her opponent's strike, while Crow was in its "overdrive" state, collecting every known data to be used for its prediction pattern.

Homura, on the other hand, had a different thoughts running through his mind. Why is she here? Did she got winged by an Ashikabi? If so, where is he, and why did he send her to deal with the sekirei, when he should know that she can't fight. He was about to join her to battle, when he was stopped by Sasuke.

"Now, now, don't be hasty, Homura- san. Don't you think it's rude to interfere a Sekirei duel?" Sasuke grinned as he looked at the Matsu's battle.

Homura gave Sasuke a surprised look. 'How didn't I sense him?' He thought as he jumped back. "Who are you?"

Sasuke smirked as he points at Matsu. "I happened to be Pine- chan's Ashikabi."

Homura, realizing that Sasuke intentionally sent Matsu to her death, scowled at him. "If you are Matsu- san's Ashikabi, then you should know that she can't fight!" He then looked at Matsu's seemingly losing fight. "I don't know why Matsu bothered to even be winged by you. I'm going to help her, and then talk sense into her. You don't deserve her…" Homura glared at Sasuke.

Sasuke got a little pissed off when Homura said that. "It's not for you to decide who Matsu chose to be winged so shut your trap and stop sprouting bullshit." He then looked at Matsu's smirking expression before giving a mischievous smirk. "And besides, you're only going to be in the way of her data collecting."

Homura was confused when Sasuke said that and looked at the battle unfolding. What he saw, shocked him to the very core.

Data Analysis complete, starting Prediction Pattern Program

"Nice! Alright Crow: Stabilize." Matsu felt her body getting powered up again as she dodged incoming slashes from Seraph. With her enhanced perception, she saw a circle appear all over her opponent's body. Now that her body now distributes energy, she went on the offensive. Parrying Seraph's slashes by halting her attack pattern with her gauntlet. She gave off several counter- punches that was able to hit cleanly, allowing her to be in pain and showing more opening to her stance. When she finally saw a crucial strike chance located at Seraph's abdominals, using both of her palms, she hit it with as much force as she could get, making a mini mecha wing appear on her arms, and amplifying her attack. " Shōdō o kyohi (Rejecting Impulse)!" Upon impact, Seraph was sent flying through 3 trees before skidding to the ground for a bit.

As the damaged Sekirei stood up and was about to engage again, a voice was heard over her communicator. 'We are unable to retrieve Green Girl, order is to retreat from the scene.' Gazing back at Matsu who was on her guard, she decided to retreat as well. With a large leap she tried to escape, narrowing dodging a Dynamic Entrance, courtesy of Matsu.

Matsu saw what she was about to get away, she held out her hand and ordered Crow. "Oh no you don't! Crow Weapon Assimilation: Sniper." Her gauntlet then transformed into a Sniper Rifle that she caught with outstretched hand. She evilly grinned as she looked at her scope. "Kukuku… You can't escape me, this bullet will knock you back down to earth!" She then pulled the trigger, causing an energy bullet to travel to the marked spot of Seraph, which is the exposed Sekirei crest. And within a blink of an eye, it impacted right on the spot, deactivating the Sekirei.

Matsu scanned her surrounding for anymore sudden movement. Making sure there is no more sign of life, she finally gave a relieved sigh, before looking at Sasuke and giving a happy peace sign.

Sasuke smirked at Homura's shocked reaction before walking towards her. "Don't underestimate my girl's ability, I wouldn't have let her battle if I don't have any faith in her abilities. I hope you think before you sprout any more non- sense, Homura- san."

When Sasuke approached Matsu, she glomped her Ashikabi and looked into his eyes. "So, how I do, Sasu- tan?"

Sasuke gave her a tender smile and gave her a peck to her lips. "You were awesome, Pine- chan." Then they saw a huge pillar of ice coming from where Akitsu and Saki are located. "Well, I think they're right about done, should we go to them, Pine- chan?" Matsu looked at Homura for a moment before, nodding at Sasuke.

"Alright, let's go, Sasu- tan!" She said cheerfully. Sasuke gave her a nod before jumping through the trees. Matsu was about to follow when Homura called out to her.

"M- matsu- san!"

Matsu stopped, her back facing Homura. Her face glaring at him. "Homura- san… we may be comrades before, so I understand why the need to underestimate me, but I will not tolerate you insulting my Ashikabi- sama, you don't know how great of a guy he is." She turned away from him. "So this is where we part." She said as she disappeared from his view, leaving Homura to his thoughts.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

(With Akitsu and Saki)

When Sasuke arrived at their location he didn't expect for a Sekirei to incase in a huge pillar of ice, akid hugging a man, and another Sekirei in a standstill with her girls.

"Bah, you've gone overboard again Akitsu- chan…" He said, scratching his head as he approached her making both parties stop any intention to fight. "I mean, look at this huge chunk of ice! Why wouldn't you settle for just a small one?"

Akitsu looked at Sasuke before jumping to his side and hugging him. "Ah… Sasuke- sama, did Akitsu do good?" Sasuke chuckled at her, pecking her lips as he did so. "I didn't see your fight, but if this pillar is any indication of how intense your battle is, then I'm proud that you and Saki won it."

Sasuke felt Saki tugged on his sleeve. He raised his eyebrow in surprise but then he realized they were with strangers. So he too, gave her a peck in the lips. "You know I'll spread the love, Saki- chan." He smirked.

"A- ano, thank you for saving us…" Said Minato as he bowed at them while carrying the slumbering Kusano.

Sasuke scratched his head in embarrassment. "No problem kid, I'm glad my sekireis was able to save you and your daughter from impeccable doom." He chuckled. "Speaking of which…" He pointed at Musubi. "Are you the rumored green girl?" He asked as he checked her body out, earning a painful pinch from Saki.

"Ara? I'm Sekirei #088 Musubi!" Sasuke scratched his head in confusion.

"Well, I guess the sekirei is somewhere else then... ouch!" He yelped in pain as he got bonked in the head, courtesy of Matsu.

"Baka, the Sekirei you are talking about is right there." She point at Kusano.

Minato looked a bit frightened by the fact they are also looking for Kusano, so he hugged her tightly. "Y- you can't take her, she's already winged…"

Sasuke stared at him blankly for a few seconds before his expression turned into disgust. "This… kid is a sekirei?" Earning a nod from Matsu. "Ugh… I'd rather not turn pedo here…" He turned his back from Minato.

"Don't worry, I won't take her from you, gaki. Treat them right ok?"

"H- hai!" Minato shouted.

"Well, I did promise we get to eat sushi tonight…" All his Sekirei's got excited hearing this.

"Let's go, let's go!" Saki said happily, her meekness long forgotten. Sasuke sighed and smiled as he followed their lead.

"Hey… just do blow all my money in one go ok?"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

A/N: Hiya again! alright, I lied about last chapter. Minaka will threaten Sasuke NEXT Chapter lol. I just thought I need this scene to be out of the way before getting the fourth Sekirei. Hayato will be involved in the next chapter as he will have a plan for something(Not telling XD).

This chapter also shows that Sasuke would break down eventually. why? kukukuku... It's a secret.

School is sucking so bad that I still have assignments to do as I typed this chapter lol. So forgive if there is any inconsistency with the character or story flow.

Anyhow! R&R Please! I get pumped up whenever I see some awesome review!

P.S: In the near future, I'm thinking of writing another fic with RTN Sasuke. Its a Fate/stay night crossover. With the pairings SasukexRider. So any suggestion is welcomed. But if there is none, then no Fate/stay fic then -.-

EDIT: Ok, Misinformed data about Homura, I deeply apologize for that lol, It was a stressing time for me -.- AnywayThanks for that point out! :D
