Keith and Musubi were rushing up north, Keith was showing off, flipping between buildings and just enjoying life.

(Game Over- Lil' Flip)

He was preforming acts that could either get the Platinum medal in the Olympics or be the greatest acrobat ever. Then they landed on the grounds of a boarding house. He quickly stood and caught Musubi. Then he put her down and started to check his surroundings, 'a boarding house?' He thought, 'interesting.' Just then a woman had showed up.

"Oh my," she said. "May I help you?" They looked over to her.

"Are you the owner of this boarding house?" Keith asked.

"Yes, I am." She said, pulled out a pouch, went in to it and tossed her a huge wad of cash.

"That's for the entire year if you have a room." He said, "for the both of us.

"Of course I have a room, thank you. Please come in. I am Miya, it is nice to meet you." Keith took her hand and shook it.

"Nice to meet you too." He said, "Keith Sheppard, I used to be in the military."

"Strange, so was I." She said, "follow me." So they did and headed inside. They had met a young man with silver hair and blue eyes. He was in a shirt and slacks and slippers, Keith removed his hat and boots.

"Nice to meet you, name's Keith." He said as he offered his hand to the young man.

"Kagura," he said as he took Keith's hand and shook it.

"Nice to meet you," with that they where on their way to their rooms. Keith had bumped in to a young woman. She had brown hair in a side ponytail, she was very well built and gorgeous. She was in lingerie, he whistled. "Whoa," he said. "Please be 18, please be 18, please be 18." She giggled.

"Yeah, I'm legal." She said, "but I'm taken."

"Oh well, guy can dream can't he? Keith Sheppard," he held out his hand to shake hers. She took it, "whoever the guy is he's a lucky man." She blushed at the complement.

"Um, my lover's female." He blushed and chuckled.

"Oh is my face red, I'm sorry."

"No, it's alright."

"It's not my place to judge. Love's love." He went in to his room and took off his gear. Then he grabbed his towel and some clothes. Then he headed for the furo, he started to undress and cleaned up. Keith started to get cleaned up and looked at himself, he had scars all over his body, mementos from battles and wars, saving lives and taking them. 'My hands shall never be clean.' He thought.

"Sheppard-san?" Said Miya, he lifted his head.

"Yeah?"

"Is everything alright in there?"

"Yeah, I'll be done in a minute." He got out and dried off. He got dressed in a white under armor T-shirt sweat pants and was drying his hair.

"If you need to talk to someone just come see me." She said.

"I will, thanks Miya." He said and went to the back and started to grab a couple of huge rocks and started weight training with them by strapping them to his ankles and grabbing on to a tree limb doing chin ups and mid air squats. Then he unstrapped them from his ankles and his phone vibrated He let the limb go and checked it.

Boss, I have found something in a park close by you. Could you check it out?]

He closed it up and went back in to the house, "Keith-sama?" Said Musubi, "are you alright?"

"I'm fine," he said as he switched pants and put on a pair of boots. Then he grabbed his flack jacket, night vision goggles and a pair of ballistic guns. "Be back late, Musubi? I need you to hold down the fort. Watch over the boarding house."

"Right," said Musubi. With that he nodded and headed out to the park.

Once there, he started to look around and saw a busty young woman, with chains around her torso and wearing a robe. She had a Sekirei crest on her forehead, 'this must be what they detected.' He thought. He looked at her.

"Hey there," he said. "Would you like to come with me?" She looked like she was abused and was timid. Keith held out his hand, "come on. I promise I won't hurt you." Timidly she grabbed his hand and he pulled her up and in to his arms. Then he tossed her in to his arms. Just then they were surrounded by solders with guns and armor. "Dammit!" He cursed but as he was about to put her down, someone came in to attack them. "Wow."

"Good work Cammy!" Said a voice, he looked over and saw a young man with blond hair with a lock over his eyes. He was in a vest, cargo pants, boots and glasses. "You might want to duck out the way." Keith nodded and did.

"Oh crap, it's Charlie Nash! The 'Sonic Ashikabi'!" Said a solder, Charlie pulled his arms back and charged up.

"SONIC," then Cammy charged up as well.

"SPIRAL," she said and Charlie flung his arms forward as Cammy flung herself spinning toward them.

"HURRICANE!" The chi hurricane started to hit every solder there.

"ARROW!" Cammy was hitting everything in sight. Keith whistled, impressed by their team work. One of them was about to attack Charlie when Keith leapt in and drove both of his feet in to the solder's face.

"Thanks," said Charlie. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, we're fine." Keith said, "thank you."

"No problem, that bastard Hiroto is going too far! We have to stop him."

"I agree, whenever you need my help you have it." With that they shook hands and Keith took off with the Sekirei in his arms.

After they got back, Keith had placed the girl down. "My name's Keith Sheppard and you are?"

"Akitsu." She said softly.

"Nice to meet you, come on. I'll bet you haven't a thing to eat."

So they went in to the house and she was fed and cleaned. Then they went to his room and started to talk about herself. She told him that she was a 'Broken Sekirei', that she couldn't be winged. "Well that sucks." He said while he was thinking, "I wonder." He grabbed her and kissed her. All of the sudden, she started to glow and 'ice-wings' started to come out of her back. Her crest had disappeared from her forehead and on to her back.

After they pulled off he smiled, "well looks we were wrong." He said, "welcome back to the world of the Sekirei. Number 17, welcome on board." Akitsu looked at him with tears in her eyes and hugged him. Thanking him for saving her.
