Chapter 5: Moving Day
Minato's eyes fluttered open as the sunlight hit them. He felt warmth pressed against his chest and looked down and saw a blob of brown-hair and remembered that he was in Uzume's room.
'Well now I could get used to waking up like this.' Minato thought as he suddenly felt her hand slide down his stomach and stop just below his waist.
Minato's eyes jolted open and he looked down at Uzume's face and noticed that her eyes are wide open and she had a mischievous smile on her face.
Uzume had woken up as the sun had hit her face. When she noticed that Minato was waking up she had a mischievous thought. She slowly slid her hand down his stomach and stopped just above his private parts. She got the reaction that she wanted when she felt his body stiffen.
"Uzume what are you doing?" Minato asked as he finally regained use of his voice.
"Well you looked happy to see me and I wanted to show you that I was happy to see you." Uzume explained to him as she looked in his eyes.
Minato just smiled and leaned forward and gently kissed her as she eagerly returned the kiss.
Uzume was slightly surprised when Minato leaned in to kiss her but didn't complain as she happily kissed him back, but only that she put a little bit more into her kiss.
Minato realized what she was doing and stopped her before she could go any farther after he remembered what Miya told him the night before.
"Uzume you know what Miya says about sexual relations in Izumo Inn." Minato told her as she wined at him breaking the kiss.
"Don't worry about that, now that she is one of your Sekirei she is probably going to change her rules slightly." Uzume told him as she laid her head back on his chest.
Minato gently and lovingly ran his hand through her hair. He chuckled when he heard her moan as he ran his hand through her hair.
Knowing that it was about time to get up or Miya would be suspicious of the two for coming down so late, Uzume slowly sat up and stretched and giggled lightly as she spotted how red his face had gone as she stretched.
After Uzume stood up Minato followed her and exited her room and headed down the stairs to the dining room.
Uzume had decided to go and Benitsubasa was up and she also need to talk to her.
She knocked twice and laughed as she heard a crash from the other side of the door and waited until the footsteps reached the door.
"What is it?" Benitsubasa asked as she opened the door.
"Well I was wondering if maybe you wanted to spend the night with our Ashikabi?" Uzume asked as she looked at the pink-haired girl in front of her.
"Well that sounds like a good idea to me, I guess I could do that." Benitsubasa said as her cheeks became a light shade of pink.
"Alright then come on lets head down for breakfast so we can be close to Minato." Uzume exclaimed as she grabbed Benitsubasa's hand and head towards the stairs.
"Wait Uzume let me put my hair up first!" Benitsubasa screamed as she was being dragged down the stairs.
"Don't worry about that let Minato see you with your hair down." Uzume suggested as they finally reached the dining room.
Benitsubasa didn't say anything else as she spotted her Ashikabi sitting at the table with his back to them.
Uzume went up and wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered something in his ear.
Minato blushed as he turned and looked at Uzume who only nodded at him in response.
Minato turned around and smiled at Benitsubasa as he waved her over to sit next to him.
Not having to be told twice she walked over and sat down on Minato's left while Uzume sat down on his right.
"So how are you this morning Benitsubasa?" Minato asked to help break the ice.
"I am doing pretty good Minato-sama, how are you this morning?" Benitsubasa asked as she was trying to hide the blush that was on her face.
"Good, by the way you don't have to call me -sama, just call me Minato ok." Minato explained to her as he turned her to face him.
"Hai, Minato." She responded as she leaned into his hand.
"Good, now Uzume tells me that you have something that you want to ask me." Minato says as he continues to look into her eyes.
Benitsubasa's eyes opened wide as she remembered what her and Uzume talked about a few seconds ago.
'Uzume that was slick, mean but slick.' Benitsubasa thought to herself as she noticed Uzume snickering behind Minato.
"Yes I was wondering of you would like to stay the night in my room with me tonight?" Benitsubasa asked as she relished in the shocked expression that Uzume had on her face.
"Sure, Benitsubasa I just have to go to the apartments I was staying at before and retrieve my things so I can move them over here." Minato answered as Miya entered the room carrying the rice cooker.
"So then tomorrow night you will spend the night in my room right Minato?" Miya asked as she placed the rice cooker in the middle of the table.
"Sure Miya I just have to find some way to be able to pay the rent and everything." Minato answered as he began to scoop some rice into his bowl.
After all that was said they all settled down to eat breakfast, Miya sat down across from Minato, Benitsubasa was sitting on his left and Uzume took his right.
Once everyone had finished eating Minato helped Miya take care of the dishes as Benitsubasa and Uzume went to Uzume's room to get dressed.
"What do you think we should wear for Minato?" Benitsubasa asked and instantly regretted asking that as she spotted the mischievous grin on her face.
"Well since Miya will not allow us to wear anything that she finds indecent we will have to wear anything that she finds indecent we will have to find something that she will find acceptable." Uzume said as she looked through her closet.
Benitsubasa sat down on Uzume's bed and remembered that Minato had slept on that very bed.
"Hey Uzume, tell me how does it feel to have Minato sleep next to you?" Benitsubasa asked her as her face turned a darker shade of red.
Uzume stopped what she was doing for a second before she resumed searching through her closet.
"Well it just makes me feel safe and comfortable and it also makes me feel like I was meant to be in his arms." Uzume told her glad that she was turned around so Benitsubasa couldn't see the bright blush that covered her face.
"Well I just feel that there is this pull inside of me that keeps pulling me to him no matter where I am." Benitsubasa told Uzume as she put her hand to her chest.
Uzume turned around and smiled at the look that was on Benitsubasa's face.
"Well Benitsubasa the only thing that I can say is that you need to go and talk to Miya about it, but in my opinion you are in love." Uzume explained to her.
Benitsubasa thought about what Uzume just told her, of course she was in love.
"I guess you are right, I will go and talk to Miya." Benitsubasa said as she stood up and walked to the door.
"Wait! What about your costume?" Uzume yelled as Benitsubasa walked to the door.
"I will be right back don't worry about it." Benitsubasa answered her as she walked out the door and shut it behind her.
'Thank god I got out of there when I did.' Benitsubasa thought to herself.
"I will be back I won't take long." Benitsubasa heard come from the entryway.
"Are you sure you don't need any help?" A familiar female voice asked from the hallway.
As Benitsubasa entered the hallway she noticed that Minato was standing in the hallway with his back to her and he was talking to Miya.
"Where are you going Minato?" She asked him as she moved closer to him and lightly giggled when he jumped because he had no idea that she was there.
"Oh I am going to my old apartment to get my things so that I can move them in here." Minato answered her as he sat down to put on his shoes.
"Wait a minute Minato, I don't think that it is smart for you to go out on your own after what happened to you yesterday, I think you should take someone with you." Benitsubasa told him as she stepped closer to him.
"Well I don't want to bother any of you…" Minato started before he was cut off by a voice from the stairs.
"Don't worry Minato I am not doing anything, I will go with you." Uzume said as she descended the stairs in her usual t-shirt and jeans.
"Okay well let's go then." Minato said as he knew when an argument was lost.
With that being said both Minato and Uzume walked out the door. When they were gone both Miya and Benitsubasa walked into the tea room and sat down on either side of the table.
"Miya can I ask you something?" Benitsubasa asked her.
"Sure." Was all that Miya said as she poured two cups of tea.
"Well I was talking to Uzume earlier and she told me that I should talk to you about it but she also told me what she thought, but can you tell me what this feeling is that I have when I am around Minato and it is even stronger when I am not near him?" Benitsubasa asked her.
Miya had to think about this and put her hand to her face to cover the smile that she had.
"Well Benitsubasa to tell you the truth Uzume is probably right, but in my opinion you are in love." Miya said as she handed a cup of tea to the pink-haired girl in front of her.
"That is exactly what Uzume told me." Benitsubasa muttered as she stared at the green liquid in front of her.
"Well then what do you think it is?" Miya asked her as she took a sip of her tea.
"Well all I know is that it makes me feel that I want more with Minato than just being a Sekirei and Ashikabi." Benitsubasa explained to her as she slowly took a sip of her tea.
Miya just looked at the pink-haired Sekirei sitting in front of her and smiled.
Meanwhile with Minato and Uzume:
They were walking down the street when Uzume pulled a really sneaky move.
She quickly slipped her hand into his and intertwined their fingers together.
Minato looked over at her and smiled as he slowly leaned in and gave her a loving kiss.
Uzume had to use every bit of restraint that she had not to moan right there on the sidewalk.
When they pulled apart from the kiss Minato looked deep into her eyes.
"You are a sneaky little devil aren't you?" Minato asked her never looking away from her.
"Yeah well you are pretty sneaky yourself there you know." Uzume answered him as she gripped his hand tighter.
"Well we had better continue on or we won't make it back in time." Minato told her as they kept walking to the apartment complex he used to live in.
They walked for about ten more minutes before they finally reached the complex.
The landlord was standing outside trying to look cool but was failing miserably.
He spotted Minato and Uzume walking towards him and thought that he was bringing her back to live with him.
"Sahashi you better not tell me that you plan on staying here with that woman that is a violation of your lease." The chubby landlord spit at them.
"Look I don't want you to ever talk about her that way I am just picking up my things because I am moving somewhere else." Minato spat back at the chubby man while glaring coldly at him.
Both he and Uzume walked past the landlord and up to his old apartment.
As they entered Uzume noticed how small it was.
"So this was my home but not anymore, let's just get my things so we can get out of here." Minato told her as he found a box and started to fill it with some of his things, Uzume nodded and began helping him pick up his things.
Time Skip 2 hrs.
"There all done." Minato said as he taped up the last box and stood next to Uzume.
They both looked over the apartment and nodded in approval when they noticed that they had packed up everything that belonged to him.
They had in total three boxes and two big bags full of his things.
As they started to walk back Minato told his old landlord that he would be back later to pick up his stuff.
"I have to talk to Miya about where I can put everything." Minato said as he and Uzume walked hand in hand back to Maison Izumo.
"Don't worry we will get everything figured out when we get back." Uzume told him as she laid her head on his shoulder.
Out of nowhere Minato gets the feeling that he is being watched again and he did not believe that it was happening to him again.
Uzume noticed Minato stiffen as she had her head on his shoulder and started to worry that something might have happened to him.
"Minato what's wrong?" Uzume asked as she gripped his hand tighter.
"There is someone watching me and the last time I felt this way I was attacked." Minato told her.
"Hello Minato." They both heard a voice behind them say.
Both Uzume and Minato turned around to see who said his name, and were shocked by what they saw.
