A Lame God

Chapter 12

Sahashi Takami had faced many great challenges ever since the day she graduated from college.

Her first great challenge had been raising her children by herself, while doing everything she could to keep them from knowing their father's whereabouts and real identity or the true nature of her position within the MBI, simply giving them the idea that she was employed by a pharmaceutical company based in Teito. It was difficult, but it only made her love for Minato and Yukari stronger.

Her second great challenge had been becoming a caretaker as well as the lead researcher of the Sekirei. During her time with the second generation, she had also become the adjuster of Sekirei 06 Homura and the not yet named Sekirei 88. In addition, she was also one of the first people in the world to ever witness the strength and power of Sekirei 01 and their Pillar, Miya, and the very first one to manage to come to terms with the fact that there was a living goddess walking among them mortals.

And last but not least, her greatest challenge yet, was to keep her sanity around that fucking troll, prankster, troublemaker and self-proclaimed god among men Naruto Uzumaki, whose strength that rivalled even Miya was only overshadowed by his tendency to make a joke out of just about anything.

So of course, facing against a few dozen heavily armed agents and soldiers of the United Nations in an intense gunfight was not something that could make Sahashi Takami lose her composure. It was what they were trying to do, the one single goal that they had had in mind from the moment the information about the Sekirei was leaked, was what was making her worry.

"Can someone do something about that rocket launcher!" Takami shouted to the group of MBI guards taking cover behind the wall and flipped tables in the room only a few feet away from her, leading them as they returned fire and shot at the soldier who was about to fire another rocket at them, killing him just before he could blow them all up.

Reloading her firearm, Takami then perked up from behind her own cover and fired her at the group of UN soldiers they were fighting with great accuracy, killing one and injuring another, before she was forced to once again take cover as another group of UN soldiers arrived and started firing away at her and the others.

"Anyone knows where the fuck Minaka is?"

One of the scientists lying on the floor answered, his whole body shaking in fear as bullets flew over his head. "The… the president has retreated to his panic room, Takami-san!"

"Figure! That fucking bastard." The white haired woman scoffed, but there was no time for her to say anything else as a grenade fell down right next to her. Her body instantly reacted, reaching out with one hand to grab the grenade and threw it right back, resulting in an explosion that killed a couple of enemies and shook the entire floor they were at.

"Has anyone tried to contact Yume and Karasuba?"

"We have been trying to, Sahashi-san, but our phones and other communication devices aren't working. The intruders must be using some kind of communication jammer." A guard answered, making Takami curse under her breath. Of course they would try to cut them off from each other and the rest of the world. Why did Karasuba and Yume have to both decide to take their breaks and leave to visit Shinto Teito now of all time?

But more importantly, how did the UN know of this very moment when they were without their strongest defenses and most vulnerable to attack? After the departure of their strongest, Sekirei Pillar Miya, Takami knew she could not just rely on Yume and Karasuba all the time, so she had personally made sure that the building was equipped with the strongest defenses, and made sure the guards themselves receive the best trainings to combat situations like this.

Yet, the UN force seemed to be tearing through them like they were nothing. She had no idea what was going on outside, but if this group of UN soldiers she was fighting had been able to get this far into the facility with minimal losses, and they were definitely not the only ones, then that meant they had overcome every obstacle in their ways.

Could it be that they knew exactly where to hit?

"B-but they will see the explosions and return in time to save us, right?" An MBI employee shakily asked, but Takami did not have time to answer that question. She could only hope that the two hadn't gone anywhere too far away from the building.

Emptying another clip into the bodies of three soldiers, Takami then threw her handgun away without even a moment of hesitation and picked up the machine gun of a guard bleeding out at her feet to continue the fight, refusing to back down knowing very well what was going to happen if she was to fall there or get captured. If there was one thing that the UN desired just as much as a Sekirei subject, it would be the scientists who had been working on them.

Being the lead scientist, Takami had no doubt that her head had as much weight as a Sekirei she had been looking after.

The gunfight continued on through the entire MBI headquarter from the ground floor up for three more minutes, resulting in severe casualties on both parties, but there seemed to be no end to the attackers. Eventually the worst thing that Takami could hear that day was notified to her by a female scientist, who was holding in her hands a tablet with full access into the security camera system that they had been using to keep track of what was going on in the building.

"Sahashi-san! The UN soldiers have gotten into the Sekirei Lab!"

"N-No…" Takami stuttered, her face finally losing its color when she turned her head around to look at the tablet and saw a group of UN soldiers rushing into the lab, subduing Takehito and the other scientists before they quickly set up a defensive perimeter around the room.

To her horror, two UN agents then rushed to the pods holding the third and fourth generation of Sekirei, who were all still in their newborn states, and began to work on them using their own hacking devices despite Takehito's protest, getting hit in the face and knocked down for it.

'Those bastards… They have no idea what they are doing. They are going to hurt the unborn Sekirei."

"We… we need to…"

"Sahashi-san, watch out!" A guard cried out when a small unit of UN soldiers suddenly swung into the room from the floor above them, breaking through the glass windows before taking aim at her and the scientists crouching on the floor with their weapons. Takami knew very well that they had been ordered to capture her, the lead scientist of the Sekirei Project, alive but at the same time, she was holding in her hands a fully loaded weapon. Moreover, she had been killing a lot of their comrades, and so it was obvious they only had one way to deal with her.

BANG!

Takami flinched when she heard the gunshot, but the bullet or the pain never came, as it was caught in the middle of the air by a certain young man with blonde hair and blue eyes, who then flipped a table up with his foot and kicked it toward the group of gunmen, sending them stumbling onto the floor as the table smashed against their faces with such force it broke into pieces.

"Naruto!" For the first time since knowing him, Takami felt a sense of relief when she saw the blond. At the same time, however, the lead scientist could not help but feel that there was something different about him.

"Get down!" Takami knew better than to do otherwise upon hearing that firm command from the blond, ducking her head down behind a cover as the UN soldiers raised their weapons and opened fire upon Naruto, who swiftly moved his body from side to side to dodge the incoming barrage of bullets while advancing forward.

"What the hell? Is this guy one of the Sekirei?"

A soldier asked in shock, but he would never get to hear the answer, as Naruto took his combat knife, yanking it out of the holster on his shoulder, and slit his throat with it, killing him instantly. Before the body could even hit the ground, Naruto had already shot forward, the bloody knife in his hand flashing dangerously, and killed another soldier by slitting his throat.

The men swung their rifles at him, knowing that they would only shoot each other because he was standing too close to them, but Naruto was simply too fast. With one swift motion, he sliced the throat of yet another victim to his rage, the knife moving with lightning speed, leaving his body dropping to the ground with a dull thud. The other soldiers stumbled back, their faces flushed with terror, but Naruto made quick work of them, delivering a flurry of slashes and stabs with the knife in his hand, ending their life before they could even blink their eyes.

As the last soldier dropped down before Naruto, the blond shot his hand out and grabbed his sidearm, before instantly snapping his head to the side to dodge a sniper bullet being fired at him from outside. Without even looking, the blond raised the gun, and shot the two snipers outside, blowing their heads off before they could take another shot at him.

"Uzumaki, you are…"

"The lab is on the thirtieth floor. Go now!"

Takami interrupted her coworker, shouting to Naruto the moment that gunshots were no longer heard. Before Takami could finish telling him to go, however, Naruto had already run out of the room and disappeared in a flash of yellow, ignoring everyone and everything in his path. His speed shocked everyone but Miya, who arrived just in time to know where Naruto was going and wasted no time to follow him, leaving Yume, Kazehana and Karasuba to take care of the rest.

Together, they rushed to the thirtieth floor of the building. Upon arriving, their path was blocked by a giant blast door, but Miya instantly slashed it into pieces using her sword, giving Naruto an opening as the door collapsed to charge into the research facility and disposed of the UN soldiers inside before they could even react to the commotion, freeing the captured scientists who were all being held at gunpoint.

Miya followed him, but the moment that she stepped foot into the facility, the Sekirei pillar suddenly felt a tremendous pressure falling upon her. Most scientists in the facility were instantly knocked out by the pressure, but Miya was able to stay on her feet until it disappeared.

Having felt a lesser version of it once before during a sparing moment when she asked him to be serious, Miya knew the source of the pressure, or the overwhelming murderous intent, was none other than Naruto. Unable to shake off the feeling that something terrible had happened, Miya dashed into the lab and located the blond, feeling her body going numb and being overwhelmed by a sense of dread when she found him kneeling beside the pod of Sekirei 88, which was covered in blood that was clearly not of their enemies.

"N-no…"

Miya murmured and stumbled forward before dropping on her knees, her weapon slipping from her grasp and clattering to the ground when she saw the small body inside the pod. The little girl was still alive, but Miya needed no machine to tell that her core had been severely damaged.

Being the source of their power and their very existence, a Sekirei with a damaged core would cease to function, and Sekirei 88 would remain unconscious until the day of her death, without ever experiencing being with her Ashikabi, or being winged by them.

There was nothing more heartbreaking for Miya than that.

Her, the Sekirei pillar. She was supposed to protect them, to make sure that they could all be with their Destined ones… and yet…

Before Miya could say anything or utter another sound, her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Naruto reaching into the pod and gently taking 88's tiny hands into both of his own. At first, nothing happened, but soon Miya could feel the damaged core of the little bird slowly but surely mending itself back to normal, willing the little bird back to life, to the future with her Ashikabi that Miya had promised them.

Shocked, Miya rushed, almost crawled, over to join Naruto on the side of the pod, kneeling down beside him. Tears of happiness streamed down her cheeks when she saw the little bird slowly opening her eyes and turning her head to look curiously at Miya and Naruto, who smiled softly in relief.

A LAME GOD

"You okay there, Yume-chan?"

Hearing that voice, Yume looked over her shoulder and saw Naruto walking up to her. The night had fallen, and after all UN personnels had either been killed or captured for question, those who injured during the gunfights had been taken away for treatments, and the damage control unit had arrived to begin using highly advanced alien technologies that MBI had acquired from the Sekirei spaceship to repair their damaged headquarter.

"Yeah, I will be fine." Yume replied with a reassuring smile before continuing gratefully "Thank you for help today, sensei. It is thanks to you that all the little birds are okay."

"I was not alone, you know." Naruto chuckled and patted the Sekirei of fate on her shoulder, making Yume look strangely at him before nodding her head in understanding. "Now, if you excuse me."

With that said to Yume, Naruto then turned his attention to Miya, who was standing all by herself watching the employees of MBI work in silence, and made his way over to her. Despite appearing to be deep in thought, Miya did not look surprised when Naruto suddenly appeared next to her, shifting slightly in her spot as she glanced at the blond.

"Why didn't you tell Yume what happened up there?" Miya asked, making him smile a little.

"She does not need to know." He said "She already knew something bad happened. For a Sekirei who firmly believes in fate, knowing that one of her sisters almost lost her future would do her no good."

"I see…" Miya nodded her head softly in understanding before giving him a soft, warm smile "Thank you, Naruto-san. Thank you."

"Treat me and Kazehana to a meal as soon as you no longer burn half the kitchen down, and we are even."

Naruto playfully said, making Miya turn her head to him and glare, but only for a short second before she smiled again while gazing at him.

A warm sensation then seeped into her system, causing Miya to widen her eyes slightly. She did her best to not make it obvious, however, and looked away from Naruto for a brief second to collect herself, but doing so made Miya feel like she had just done something she should not have, and caused her gaze to once again return to him.

At that moment, Miya felt like nothing else in the world mattered. Her heart pounded strongly in her chest when she realized what this could mean.

But… was this possible? Miya thought to herself as she put her hands over her heart and clenched her chest tightly. She was the Sekirei pillar. The queen of the current generation of Sekirei. From the moment that she opened her eyes and became aware of the world around her, she had accepted the fact, no matter how much it pained her every time she thought about it...

Still…

… if there was anyone, then it would certainly be him.

Even if he could not give her wings, then these feelings were all that mattered.

"N-Naruto-san…. I…"

"Excuse me for a moment, Miya."

Miya said, at the same time that Naruto spoke up himself as he started walking away while pointing at his phone.

"Huh, do you want something?" He asked with a smile, stopping in his steps to talk to her.

"I… no, where are you going?" Miya asked softly, feeling herself being overwhelmed with pleasant emotions when she saw his smile. They were not something that Miya thought she would ever experience, and yet, there she was…

"I am gonna make some phone calls." Naruto said with a smile, before continuing seriously "And I will do something that I should have from the start."

"I… I see. Then you go do it, Naruto-san." Miya replied to him, nodding her head in understanding. For some reasons, she had a vague feeling of what he was going to do, and she decided to not stop him, not that she wanted to. "Do you want… me to wait for you?"

"Nah, no need. This will probably take some time." Naruto said, and Miya once again found herself nodding her head to him "Can you find Kazehana and head back to Izumo inn with her? I left enough food in the fridge for you both. You can use the oven to heat them up and eat them for dinner."

"Of course."

"Great…" Saying that, Naruto walked away, but not before he stopped once again and turned back to look at the Sekirei pillar, who instantly did the same and met his gaze.

"And Miya…"

"Y-Yes, Naruto-san."

"Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you and your Sekirei ever again. I will protect your future."

"I promise."

With a thumbs up to her, Naruto walked away and opened his contact on his phone, leaving behind a stunned Miya, who clutched her chest tightly while unable to stop herself from smiling, feeling tears of happiness welling up in her eyes as she gazed after him.

A LAME GOD

"Is everything ready?"

"Yes, Minaka-sama." A scientist answered gleefully, as he and his coworkers rushed to follow the eccentric chairman of MBI himself, who was strutting confidently toward his office with his cloak flowing behind him and a wide, victorious grin on his face, having just left his panic room after finishing analyzing all the data that he had been able to collect during the attack "We can now carry out the Sekirei Plan within this week."

"Splendid." Minaka replied to the information, the grin on his face widening even further as he spun around and declared dramatically "Now go, my scientists, go and make sure that everything will be carried out according to plan. Tomorrow, we will witness the beginning of the age of the gods."

With that declaration, the scientists cheered.

"But… What about Takami-san? Will she agree to this plan."

"Oh, she might not, but she will come around in due time." Minaka answered with a dismissive wave of his hand "And do not worry about our Sekirei goddess as well, so long as I still hold the faith of her Sekirei in my hand, she will not be able to make a move against us when she finds out. The same goes with our rogue player."

"So he is also considered a player as well, Minaka-sama?"

"Oh yes, being an Ashikabi, he is." Minaka said, adjusting his glasses before finally arriving at his office "Well then, I will see you all tomorrow. Think of the incident today as nothing more than a misstep, we will get back on track tomorrow."

With that said, Minaka entered his office and attempted to turn on the light after closing the door behind him. He stopped, however, when he heard the scribbling sound of a pencil on paper, and widened his eyes when he looked at his desk and saw someone sitting in his chair with his feet resting on the frame of the window, which showed Minaka his reflection.

"My, what are you doing in my office, Naruto Uzumaki-kun?" Minaka asked pleasantly and turned on the light, but Naruto remained silent and did not move from his spot, continuing to write something into the stack of paper that he was holding in his hand "Oh by the way, I have not properly thanked you for helping out today, have…"

"Don't need this." Naruto suddenly spoke up, as he tore a piece of paper off and threw it over his shoulder. Minaka could only watch in surprise as the piece of paper fell on the ground, before widening his eyes slightly behind his glasses when he saw the Sekirei crest on it.

There was only a stack of documents in his room that had that crest, and it was the document for his Sekirei plan.

"I am making some adjustments to this Sekirei plan of yours, Minaka. It was good for like, the first two pages… so no need for this either." Naruto said simply and tore off another paper after giving it a quick read.

"Hey hey hey, what are you doing, Uzumaki-kun?"

Minaka said as he tried to stop the blond from continuing, but the moment that he reached him, Naruto suddenly spun around, grabbed his wrist, slammed his hand on the desk and stabbed the pencil down the back with so much force it pierced cleanly through his palm and impaled into the wooden surface.

"Ah…" Minaka made a sound of surprise as blood poured out from the wound in his hand. His mind was not fast enough to register the pain because it had happened so fast, but the moment that it did, Naruto stopped him from crying out by shoving an ink bottle into his mouth, muffling his cry before slamming his face down the table, breaking his glasses and most of his teeth, along with his nose in the process.

"Before I kill you right here, Minaka, I want you to know something." Naruto then began in a casual tone, sitting down on the table next to Minaka "Firstly, I know that you were the one who leaked the information to the UN so they might commence the attack earlier today. No clue why you did it, but then again, I do not care."

"Secondly, I was the one who created Kamikura Island and brought the Sekirei spaceship to the surface." Naruto continued, making Minaka look up at him in shock. "I was also the one making sure that you and Takami discovered the island first and had the means to protect the Sekirei. Takami was a fine choice due to her motherly nature and expertise in biology, but you… you are one of the worst choices that I have made."

"Thirdly, I bought MBI." Naruto then continued "Remember I once told you and everyone in MBI that I was broke? Well, technically, I was… but I am not poor. I have not been poor for a long time now, so I used my savings to buy your company. An associate of mine actually did not have that much trouble convincing the board to sell me your company when he told them how crazy you have become."

"And last but not least, it is not that I cannot kill you. I am not allowed to kill you." Naruto then turned to Minaka and said with a small, pleasant smile "So, by killing you tonight, I am gonna pissed off a lot of people, and gonna get a long ass dressed down by that one eyed dude. He seems to think you are someone important, but paranoid is a part of him. I guess my greatest regret would be that after tonight, 2 children will lose their father, and a woman will lose her husband… not that you ever care for them more than you do to your overinflated ego, though."

"Oh, and one more thing. I am gonna to make it slow and painful." Naruto said as he patted Minaka on his head, before grabbing a fistful of his hair and yanking it roughly to look at him in the eyes "You think you can do whatever you want and toy with those little birds I have sworn to protect? You think you are a god?"

"Well, I am gonna show you what a god truly is, Minaka Hiroto."

And with that said, the two disappeared from the office, leaving nothing behind but a trail of blood around the pencil-sized hole on the table.

End of Chapter 12

Note: AND DONE! DOES ANYONE STILL REMEMBER THIS STORY!?

YES! IT IS NOT DEAD! HERE IS THE NEW UPDATE FOR A LAME GOD, EVERYONE! It has been a while, has it not?

Not much I want to say other than that I wish that everyone has had a great time reading this chapter! Yes, Minaka is dead. No reason for me to keep this asshole around with the direction I want to take this story, and for the 'New Sekirei Plan' that Naruto will be in charge on. Also, even if he has a kill switch that deactivate all the Sekirei, rest assure that Naruto will take care of it (hence the reason why he just did not kill Minaka immediately there and take him away).

Be sure to leave a REVIEW once you have finished reading the chapter!
