Chapter 3: A day In the university

I know I said I would post next Wednesday but I got so bored so I decided to post a new chapter. So here I go and I'm not doing the disclaimer thing because what's the point in it :p.

There was a moment of awkward silence in the tension filled room. Gage was currently being held in a squeezing tight hug by his sekirei that was still glaring at the confused but innocent Natsu. Akitsu slowly removed her hold from Gage which only made him gulp.

"Let's not do anything rash…" He said backing up to guard Natsu.

Akitsu didn't know whether to slap Natsu for crashing her time with Gage or to slap Gage for lying to her saying he wouldn't get anymore sekirei. She then decided it wouldn't be her just to attack another sekirei that was on her team…no matter how much she wanted to. So she just simply nodded and sighed. "Sorry master…" She apologized.

"It's okay just because I have another sekirei doesn't mean my feelings for you will change," Gage chuckled "now that means you just have to share me,"

Akitsu stared blankly at him with a hint of relief and happiness which Gage could tell that everything was going to be alright. She then looked at Natsu with a cold blank stare. Now the two were locked in a staring contest for dominance. Miya could sense that things weren't about to go well, so she put a hand on each of the girls shoulders snapping them out of their trance and turned their attention towards the land-lady .

"In case you lady's didn't know my main rule in the Inn I'll be gladly to tell…there is no violence in the Izumo Inn…are we understood?" She smiled as demonic visage appeared behind her with a hiss.

The girls paled and lowered their head in shame.

Gage sighed in relief. "Thanks Ms. Miya I appreciate."

"You're welcome just call or send them over if they ever get out of line again," Miya smiled.

Gage nodded. "I will,"

After a while, everyone had begun to talk and conversate in the dining area.

"Master I have a question…" Akitsu asked scooting closer to Gage who was eating a rice cake.

"Go ahead and ask..," He said glancing at her.

"Can you please tell me about your day…" She said. "How did you and Natsu meet?"

"Well I was running towards the academy when I literally crashed into her." Gage said.

Akitsu nodded and looked at the ground with a blank expression on her face wondering why she was asking all these questions.

"The odd thing was when she landed on top of me…she had that same exact expression when your reacted to me and called me your Ashikabi…" Gage said looking out the window.

"So can you tell me about your day…?" Akitsu asked.

Gage nodded and had already wanted to ask her a few questions. He then thought and began to explain. "Well it went down like this…",

Unknown to him everyone had begun to ease in on his story.

-Flash back at Shinto Teiko University.-

It was about 5 hours when we last seen our neon-green eyed Ashikabi Gage who was currently sitting next to the window. It was the last class of the day and 10 minutes were remaining. All that was on his mind was his Sekirei Akitsu.

'I need to get here clothes, I wonder what size she is, since she has that cold demeanor of hers I think something classy should work…",He was lost in his own thoughts about her as he looked out the window with the same blank and cold expression on his face.

During his look outside, something had snapped his out of his thoughts. At what seemed like a young girl around the age of 11, who appears dressed in a yellow regal gown but, oddly, has her face always concealed by a gas mask and, and what intrigued him the most was that she was surrounded by cartoonish explosives, such as bombs, missiles, and torpedoes. How he could see all this from a half of a mile away is a mystery to him. She was staring up at him waving then she had just vanished just before the bell rung for class to be dismissed. Gage had wondered who that was and remembered what Akitsu said about sekirei contacting their Ashikabi by any means necessary. Gage shrugged it off at the thought of it as a mere mirage and continued to think about Akitsu. He had slung his back pack over his shoulder and begun to advance towards the entrance gate after going to his locker and getting what he needed. He sighed at the relief of class being over and then walked out of the gate towards the store.

Once he was near the store he was suddenly grabbed in by a un-identified body with short brown hair and a purple outfit. He found him-self pressed against the wall and soft warm lips pressing against his. He could fell a tongue enter his mouth and swirl around his so he decided to return the favor. Before he registered on what was going on wings off purple light had sprouted from the body's back illuminating the alley. He looked at the person to see it was the same girl he collided into earlier today. When she pulled away there was a moment of awkward silence.

"So I guess this means you're my second sekirei…"Gage said sheepishly.

"Yea I'm Natsu No.72…and Second?"

"Oh that's right…my first is Akitsu who says she's the 7th sekirei…",

'For him to get a sekirei and even at that a single number this early in the game is un-believable…'She thought.

"Okay lets go introduce you to her…"Gage said getting up and walking out the alley with Natsu closely behind.

On the way home he bumped into a woman wearing a tight black leather top, a miniskirt and stockings, over the shoulders wearing a grey haori with the Sekirei Crest printed on it. She has long light gray hair tied in a ponytail and gray narrow eyes. She is usually seen with bags under her eyes, giving her an exhausted look.

When these two exchanged sinister looks it was almost like the universe cried in pain. Cold and evil neon green eyes had met with cold and exhausted dark eyes. The women drew at what looked like a nodachi but Gage had already had two fingers touching her shoulder while her blade was at his waist. Gage looked behind him to see that Natsu was shaken with fear. She had pulled Gage away from the women and held him tightly.

"S-sorry Karasuba…he just has really good reflexes", She said shaking violently with fear.

The women chuckled lightly and sheathed her sword. "Normally I would chopped you guys down for his hands touching me…but since he is clearly an interesting person I'll let you guys go for now," She laughed. "But next time will be a different story,"
She said walking away.

Natsu had then sighed in relief and hurriedly sprinted down the street before the leader of the disciplinary squad change her mind. Gage wondered who she was and how he was prevented from being slashed in half.

-Flash back ends-

"And that's my day so far…" Gage said finally looking at everyone.

Akitsu was shaking along with Natsu. Minato was just as confused as he was and Musubi had a happy face on. Gage sighed and looked at the time….well his hair since it was now beginning to turn white. Unknown to everyone Miya was around the corner clenching her fist with an angered expression on her face.

"Well it seems everyone has a lot on their minds right now so we got to go, "Gage said leaving, "Be back tomorrow."

At that everyone began to slowly move around the room and towards their sleeping quarters.

Gage had then left to his house, went inside and flopped on his bed. Akitsu came in with a tired expression and curled up in his covers.

"Goodnight Master," She yawned following asleep.

He chuckled and kissed her fore-head and went down to see Natsu sitting on the couch, sniffling. He had sat next to her with a worried expression.

"What's the matter, "He asked and no sooner he was embraced in a tight hug.

"Thank you for taking me in, "She said sobbing lightly into his chest. "I was being hunted down and was trying to get eliminated from the plan early bout now that you found me and not only that you're good friends with Miya I have nothing to worry about,"

Gage chuckled and kissed her fore-head. "Aye you're welcome and there's nothing to worry about as long as I'm around you, Akitsu and any other un-winged sekirei has nothing to fear…now get some rest we have a big day tomorrow," She nodded and went into one of the spare rooms and flopped on the bed.

Gage had headed back to his room and slipped into the covers and fill asleep.

-In a alley somewhere in the Capital-

Karasuba was rubbing her shoulder Gage had poked her with 8 hours ago. She was currently in a light blush and covered in blood as several bodies of fallen sekirei had lain at her feet in puddles of blood.

'Such an interesting monkey…I think I found my Ashikabi," She laughed violently as a plan conjured up in her head.

That's it for the wonderful chapter 3 guys and next chapter will either be posted tomorrow or sometime before Wednesday.

Explanations:

The young sekirei with the regal gown: You can pretty much say that she is from another anime but I won't tell until later on in the story. If you find out just let me know in the PM Sekirei of your choice will be put in the harem. And there is a poll on my page so go and vote.

Gage's reflex: Again will be later introduced.
