(I don't own all of Sekirei or all of Bleach, only my character. It's a harem and I hope you like it.)
Musubi: Hey everyone! It's me, Musubi and I am here on Taka2012's behalf to help start our next chapter of Sekirei EX II!
Kazehana: Yeah, I over did my little seduction on Seishin. I can't help it; he's sweet, hot-looking, devoted, protective, compassionate... Ahh! He's a totes adorable knight in shining armor!
Matsu: Yeah! Still you were sexy in that apron, Kazehana! That made both Seishin and Taka get nosebleeds.
Kazehana: *Chuckles* Yeah, I know. I'm looking forward to seducing him more with any costume Uzume can give me.
Tsukiumi: If thou art done with talking about thine previous moment, thou hast a chapter to unveil... *Get a text message* We should help Seishin, he can't find his Combat Pass.
Everyone else: Ok. *Follows Tsukiumi out to see Seishin. Kagari sneaks in; appears wearing a long black coat with a mask to disguise herself.*
Kagari: Yokatta... That fake text I sent did the trick. They must not know who I am... Not even Seishin... *Notices the camera in front of her* Hello guys, Kagari here... Well, I hope you enjoy the story... Let's begin. *A fireball was formed in her hand and thrown at the camera, revealing the words...*
Sekirei EX II
Chapter 4: The Last Feather
Previously in Chapter 3, Seishin returned to the hospital, to be greeted by his sekirei again as well as the voluptuous Kazehana wearing nothing but an apron. After being showered by her affections, Seishin was passed out (while nosebleeding with the force of a volcano erupting) and Kazehana was told to change by Miya. While the other girls (and Seishin's hollow) are waking him up, Kazehana was heading to Uzume's room. Uzume on the other hand was on the phone with a certain Kakizaki reporting what happened.
"Number 19; by the Black Sekirei?" Uzume asked. "I see, also Number Three: Kazehana; she's emerged now." Uzume gritted her teeth as she knows what he said; involving the risk of losing her ashikabi if she fails. "Hey, you never told me that she would be a potential target! She's one of the reasons you had me scouting in the North, huh? Yeah, I know what's at risk here, don't remind me about it. He takes care of Chiho and I'll do what he says..."
Uzume heard Kazehana at her door so she hung up immediately before she came in.
"Hey Uzume!" She said. "Miya wouldn't allow me to wear such a revealing outfit. Mind if I can borrow one of your costumes?"
"Of course." Uzume replied. As she watched Kazehana pick what she wanted while thinking on how she can make Seishin even happier, she snuck up behind her while looking at her sekirei symbol as she attempts to terminate her.
"Hey Uzume..." Kazehana called her, stopping her attempt to terminate her from behind. "I heard Miya mention this once; about these costumes, they were used to entertain this one person. It must be wonderful, to have someone that you care about so much. It's your ashikabi, am I right?"
"Yeah, they're wonderful. Better than Seishin, I'm sure." Uzume replied while looking down. Then she regained her fake smile. "Go ahead, take it. What's mine is yours. I insist..." Uzume smiled at Kazehana. "Those costumes have gotten her smiling so I'm sure it will work wonders for Seishin."
Kazehana looked at her with a slight nod and a small smile as she continued picking out various costumes to try out.
"Thanks." Kazehana said.
"Anyway, I better get ready to go." Uzume said. "I got somewhere to be at."
"Where you're heading to?" Kazehana asked.
"I'm not sure when I'll be back though." Uzume replied. "Keep them all, Kazehana."
A short while after Uzume had left; Seishin and all of his sekirei were in the dining room eating lunch. However, Seishin began blushing madly again at what Kazehana wore. Kazehana appeared wearing a blue two piece suit covered with glitter all around and long feathery tails from behind.
"Welcome to Seishin's party, everybody!" Kazehana announced. "We're not just here to celebrate our hero's recovery, but to celebrate our marriage, too!"
"T-Thanks for the announcement," Seishin said while stuttering. "-but Kazehana, did you borrow that costume from Uzume?"
"Sure did!" She cried. "Whatcha think?"
"It's a good thing I am a sucker for Marti Gras festivals." Seishin said.
"I agree, kid." Seishin's hollow said as the two watched Kazehana dance and that it reminded Seishin of the time he was 15 at New Orleans at a Marti Gras festival.
"By the way, where's Uzume?"
"I'll get her." Seishin said as he went to find her. As Uzume was about to leave, Seishin caught up to her. "Hey Uzume, everything ok?" He asked with concern.
"Yeah, everything's ok." She replied. "Something came up right now; I'm sorry I won't be here for your party."
"Hey, it's ok. Go and take care of your errand. Come back soon, ok?" Seishin said with a smile.
"I will try." Uzume smiled at him as she left the Inn.
"Is something wrong with Uzume?" Kusano asked him.
"No, everything's ok." Seishin smiled at her.
"I hope she is ok..." Seishin's hollow thought.
Just then he heard the girls call for him.
"Come on, Ku... let's have fun ok?" Seishin said as he picked Kusano up and returned into the dining room.
While Seishin told the others that Uzume won't be able to attend, they mourned a little for her. Meanwhile, Uzume saw Miya at the entrance sweeping. The two eyes meet as Uzume stopped.
"So will this be a long outing anyway?" Miya asked. "I hope you won't be long."
Uzume nodded without saying a word as she walked off. Miya watched her as she left.
"I'll leave your room exactly how left it." She said. Uzume sheds a tear without looking at Miya as she runs off. Also, Kagari was also watching what's happening as well until Seishin knocked on the door.
"What is it?" She asked. As Seishin walked in, she blushed a dark red at him but mustered up her confidence.
"We have a party going on." Seishin said nicely. "You're welcome to join us."
"Umm… I…" Kagari sighed and then smiled a little at him. "Ok, I'll be down in a minute."
Seishin nodded and went back down to the party. As he left, she looked at her hands and then closed her eyes and shuddered.
"That feeling… What was that?" Kagari thought.
Back at the party in the living room
"Because Uzume wasn't able to attend, I shall put my all into performing these water tricks!" Tsukiumi announced.
Musubi, Matsu, and Kusano applauded for what Tsukiumi's going to do. However, Seishin arrived to stop it.
"Stop it, please!" He cried. "We don't want to risk the landlady getting upset if it gets flooded!"
While all of this was happening, Kagari was sitting across the table watching what happened, while she shows a strong glare at the red headed young man.
"I don't know why... but every time I look at that man, I get seriously pissed off." She thought while watching Seishin getting fed by Kusano until Tsukiumi came in. "He does have an positive expression and demeanor for a person..." Kagari continued.
"Seishin, didn't I told thee not to eat with your mouth wide open?" She asked suspiciously.
"Now, now Tsukiumi..." Seishin said while holding his hands up in defense. "Let's not get carried away here."
"But when faced with confrontation, he's slightly weak...yet he always remains so calm...-and why does he always carry that 'thing' around his neck." Kagari continued while looking at his cracked combat pass. "Tck... Just looking at him makes me feel sick to my stomach."
Just then, Seishin noticed something wrong with Kagari.
"Hey Kagari, everything ok?" He asked.
"Umm... Yeah, I'm just fine Seishin." She replied sheepishly while she gets up. "Thanks for the meal."
"Wait Kagari!" He said. "You haven't touched your food and you barely had anything to drink. Are you sure, you're ok?"
"Yeah, I am." Kagari replied bluntly while looking at the door. "I'm just a little tired."
"Hmmm, you've been taking time off from work for a while." Seishin said. "Are you feeling sick or something?"
With that, Kagari's turned to him in anger and embarrassment. "You little...!" She thought. "Some stupid man you are..." She muttered and then spoke out to him while covering herself with her arms like she was naked. "Some stupid man shouldn't be concerned for my health!" Kagari felt embarrassed after announcing it in front of everyone in the living room. She looked away and then stormed off. "Anyway don't worry about me, I'll be just fine!"
"What was that about?" Seishin thought.
"I don't know, but all I can say is that there's something about Kagari that I can't get my finger on." Seishin's hollow said. "That and a little something you might want to know..."
"-and what would that be, hollow?" Seishin wondered.
"It's something you're gonna find out later, kid." He smirked and chuckled. Seishin sighed.
Elsewhere, Kagari was in her room feeling a strong pain in her chest as she fell on her bed.
"I don't want to think about it!" She thought. "My body ...-It can't be..." She remembered glimpses of Seishin as it was played in her mind as well as what Kazehana said to her.
(Flashback)
Seishin was preparing to return to the Soul Society while Kazehana and Kagari were watching the young Soul Reaper saying his goodbyes.
"You should find an ashikabi soon, Kagari..." She said.
"I don't need one..." Kagari replied. "I'll be fine."
Kazehana sighed then looked down with a smile to see Ichigo, Yoruichi, Kisuke, Rukia, and Renji were all outside with a senkaimon opened in front of the outdoor entrance. Seishin's Sekireis and Miya were all standing by the doorway. Seishin was halfway between the two groups.
"Our bodies react when we meet out destined ashikabis..." Kazehana said. "Your time to meet one is drawing closer." Kagari gasped in astonishment after what Kazehana said. As she turned to Kazehana, she was already gone with the wind... literally and Kagari watched in disgust as she watched him leave.
(Flashback ended)
"Out of all the males in the capital, I am reacting to... him?" Kagari thought.
Back at the party, most of Seishin's sekirei were fast asleep after all the fun they all had. Seishin, Musubi and Kusano were in the kitchen cleaning the dishes.
"Hey, Musubi..." He called her. "Do you think Kagari hates me?"
"Why do you think that, Seishin?" She asked.
"I don't know why exactly, but he's been feeling kinda mean." He replied though he continued pondering.
"Well you know what they say, Seishin... People are hardest on the ones they love." Musubi said which got his attention. "It's true."
"I don't know exactly..." Seishin replied as he chuckled nervously. "It sounds like a really peculiar thing to say, Musubi."
"Really, what's so peculiar about that?" Musubi wondered.
While the two were talking, Kagari was asleep on her bed. She whimpered in her sleep as beads of sweat were forming on her forehead.
"Why me?" She said in her sleep. "Why is all of this happening to me?"
However, as she was sleeping, her imaginative dream began turning into a nightmare. In her dreamt that she was facing Minaka in a swarming field of flames; black clouds of smoke covered the clear blue sky though the two weren't affected by the sudden change in atmospheric environment.
"How could you give me a body like this?" Kagari cried. "Answer me, Minaka!"
"This is just a game; nothing more than a humorous game." Minaka replied which made Kagari glare. "If that place does represent despair and pain to you, do something about it!" He held his hand out like he's holding the world in his hand. "Come and try to oppose it! In the depths of shame and at the end of the farces, you will have a true understanding of your own existence!"
While Kagari was in her room; Seishin, Kusano and Musubi were doing laundry outside in the sunset. He took down the blankets that were hanging on the clothespins while the girls were folding them.
"Alright, seems to be the last of the laundry, huh girls?" Seishin walked to them as they agreed. He then sat down with them and watched the sunset before their eyes. "Sure is a beautiful sunset, huh?"
"It sure is." Musubi replied.
"It feels like all the bad stuff seemed like it was a dream while we're basking in the sun's light." Seishin said while his eyes were closed and a slight breeze flowed through them.
"What's that called...?" Musubi pondered over what she might say next. "Oh, yeah! The Calm before the Storm! That's it."
"Hehe..." Seishin chuckled while looking down a bit. "Thanks for ruining the mood, Musubi. It seems like the drama's coming back, now..."
"I'm sorry, Seishin. Did I say something peculiar again?" Musubi apologized. "I guess I should be like you; spending less time running my mouth and more time meditating."
"Hey, it's no worries Musubi." Seishin said while he looked at his combat pass as there was a spider web shaped crack in the center of it. He reflected over what Kisuke told him.
(Flashback)
Kisuke chuckled a little and with a deep breath, his smile faded. "Seishin, listen to what I am going to say..." Seishin turned serious and nodded. His sekirei began to listen in to what he's going to say. "Ever since that moment at the pier, your combat pass began cracking. I found it after you passed out." Kisuke tossed him the combat pass.
"My combat pass... is cracking?" Seishin asked.
"Yeah, but it's only a little." Kisuke replied as remembered Seishin's fight on the bridge. "How it happened and what's causing it to happen, you're wondering? It's simple... It's your sample of hollow powers your inner hollow gave you. During that fight on the bridge, you pushing yourself... even under such traumas such as seeing your sekirei dying and when your power's reached its limits, your hollow energy became unstable. You were lucky that your inner hollow suppressed it all with by absorbing it in him. The excess hollow energy will continue seeping into your spiritual pressure as you continue pushing yourself, eating away at it until..."
"I see..." Seishin interrupted and pondered until he found the answer. "The more I use my powers, though it's draining, the more my excess hollow powers eat it up until I either have no powers... or I become a full hollow." Kisuke didn't say a word but he looked down with his hat covering his eyes. Tsukiumi and Musubi were surprised at Seishin's conclusion. Seishin's inner hollow looked down at the conclusion of the result. "How much longer until my powers are eaten up?"
"By the amount of power you have remaining... About three to five days." Kisuke replied.
(Flashback ended)
Seishin gripped his combat pass tightly while feeling rather bitter of the result of his powers fading or his hollow powers will take over him. Musubi felt concerned for him; so she held his hand in hers, showing her support. Kusano hugged him as hard as her little arms can hold.
"Seishin, what Kisuke mentioned... Will it happen again?" Musubi asked.
Seishin signed and looked at his combat pass. "I fear it might... My powers should be halfway by now, even with some being eaten away by my hollow powers; so I have a feeling that there's going to be some side effects to my soul reaper form. Musubi... when the time comes, I want you, Tsukiumi, Matsu, Kusano, and Kazehana to help stop me. I may be out of control, but I know you will do all you can to stop this."
Musubi looked at him for a minute and then she nodded. "Ok, Seishin! I won't let you down and I know the others won't either!"
"You can count on me too, Big Brother!" Kusano announced.
"Thanks, Musubi and you too, Ku." Seishin replied.
At the same time the three of them were talking Matsu was walking down the hall.
"Ooh..." Matsu groaned while holding her head. "I drank too much booze!" As she opened her eyes, she noticed Seishin, Kusano and Musubi talking and he was holding his cracked Combat Pass. "Seishin, I saw you, Musubi and Kusano talking. Is there something wrong?"
"No, but I must share this with you all... Pass this information to Tsukiumi and Kazehana as well, ok?" Matsu nodded as Seishin as explained all about what he and Kisuke were talking while he was at the hospital to her. He also mentioned the chances of him turning into a full hollow if his spiritual pressure and hollow powers are balanced and the only way to do so is if he got all of his powers back.
"I understand." Matsu said. "Your powers are even more at risk since you pushed them too much during the times you helped save us, especially Haruka and Kuno."
"Yeah, there's a chance that I may become a full hollow when that happens or for other reasons." Seishin said. "Matsu, I must ask if you can help Kisuke with his invention; just to speed up the process."
She looked at him with concern in her eyes and then nodded. "Ok, I'll do it. We did help save your powers once, we can do it again."
"I appreciate it, Matsu... Thanks." Seishin said with a smile, which also made her smile too.
"I still have a sample of your blood and some of Kisuke's equipment." She said. "I can whip up another pill and give it to you."
"I'll need all the help I can get. Thanks." He said.
"Just give me some time." She said. I'll give it to you when you when it's done."
Seishin nodded as she left for her room. Just then, Kazehana and Tsukiumi arrived home from their annual shopping race... though Kazehana had the winning advantage since she's a Wind-type.
"Sorry, but looks like I won this race!" Kazehana said.
"Tis a lie, thou vile cheater!" Tsukiumi said as she felt absolutely livid at her loss while catching her breath. "Thou used the wind to lighten thy load! How dare thee claim to be the victor!"
"Uh-oh, someone's a sore loser..." Kazehana rebuked which made Tsukiumi growl with rage.
"Looks like the girls are back from their shopping race." Seishin said.
"I wouldn't call it a race, exactly..." Seishin's hollow said while in astral form and floating beside him out the entrance. Seishin chuckled at the remark.
"Yeah, and the winner of the race gets to race me in the next one."Musubi said cheerfully.
"I'm looking forward to seeing that race, Musubi." Seishin said with a light chuckle coming from him. "First they were so drunk they fell asleep, now they came back from the store. I sometimes wonder where they got that much energy."
Musubi chuckled and went to congratulate Kazehana while Seishin went to support Tsukiumi in wishing her luck for the next race. She displayed a smile and a blush on her face from his kind words. Elsewhere, Kagari was getting ready to take a bath. She removed her clothes and walked into the bathtub, while hiding her physical appearance.
While she sat in the water, she pictured Minaka once again in the water's reflection, repeating the very words he said in her nightmare. With anger, she slammed her fist in the water, dissolving the reflection from sight. Then she remembered what Takami and another one of her adjustors had told her back in the lab.
(Flashback)
Kagari was in the lab wearing scrubs while sitting up on the bed; Takami was with her and another man in the same room. He has
curly grey hair that hides part of his face, wearing a turtleneck sweater and sweatpants under his lab coat.
"Homura, it appears to us that you're most likely a sekirei prototype." Takami said.
"However, likely... that's all we can say for sure." The young man said.
"We made as many adjustments as we possibly can but in our assessments, until you emerge your output will remain unstable." She continued.
"Due to the severe power instability; even if you can emerge, your options for an ashikabi will be limited." He continued. "But in the off chances that you have a reaction to someone, your power will be in full control without any negative effects."
(Flashback ended)
"DAMN YOU, TAKEHITO!" She cried as she slammed her fists into the water. "This is proof that my power's in direct reaction to someone else." She thought. "Which means I... "
At the same time Kagari's pondering to herself, a few familiar voices were heard and the silhouettes of three women were shown through the sliding doors.
"I shan't accept a loss, not at all!" Tsukiumi announced while undressing herself.
"Come and face me anytime!" Kazehana replied while doing the same thing Tsukiumi is.
"You two shouldn't fight!" Musubi cried. "Can't we all just get along?"
"Hey, I'm worrying about something serious in here!" Kagari interrupted.
Just then, the sliding door opened up and shows Musubi, Tsukiumi, and Kazehana... naked before her.
"Hey Kagari!" Musubi greeted cheerfully. "Where did you come from?"
Kagari screamed in shock while covering herself from the others. Seishin, while in his room practicing his jinzen without being in soul reaper form thought he heard something.
"What was that?" Seishin thought.
"Everything ok, Seishin?" His hollow asked.
"That weird..." Seishin thought. "Did you by chance hear something that sounded like millions of voices crying out in shock and then it was suddenly silenced?"
"No, I haven't heard anything..." Seishin's hollow said.
"Hmmm... I guess I was hearing things. Oh, well..." Seishin thought as he shrugged his shoulders and resumed practicing his jinzen.
Back in the bathroom Kagari who had screamed, sat back in the bathroom while covering her body with her arms and sank a little in the water.
"Are you people crazy; didn't you hear of privacy!?" Kagari cried.
"Thou may have simply averted thy own eyes." Tsukiumi suggested.
"Aw, who cares..." Kazehana smirked. "I don't know about you girls, but I'm not afraid of simply showing off."
Kagari silently growled at them.
"You damned people..." Kagari muttered.
"I'm sorry, Kagari." Musubi said. "We didn't realize you were in here, honest. Let me make it up to you by washing your back."
"No thanks." Kagari replied as she turned away. "Just leave me alone."
"Ok, then." Musubi said then turned to Kazehana and Tsukiumi. "What do you say, girls? Wanna wash each others' backs?"
"Tis true." Tsukiumi said. "Thou would peel thy skin off. Do thy scrubbing with care." She ordered Musubi.
"Eww... What part of you would peel off?" Kazehana asked.
"I can't get out of here like this." She thought while pondering on how to get out o the bathroom inconspicuously.
Back in Seishin's room, he was in his meditation. However, he winded up in another dream. This time, he was in the moonlit frozen tundra.
(Forlorn scene playing- Now playing Adagio for Tron: Orchestra Version without Daft Punk)
"What the heck?" He said. "Is this another dream like how I met Kusano and Tsukiumi?" He looked all around the area while walking on a frozen trail. It was subtle yet stable. A strong blizzard was casted when he took one step forward, limiting his sight over the path a bit. Shards of ice; the size of a human being were all over the place and the tips were dangerously sharp and the winds were very cold but he held on. As he continued walking down the path, he noticed an endowed woman in the very center of the spiky frozen tundra. She has short brown hair, a sleepy expression, a crimson sekirei mark on her head and wore chains over her cleavage that binds her clothes together.
She was sitting on the icy floor; sulking and remaining silent as she looked at her reflection on the ice. A few minutes later, she then looked up at the red haired soul reaper as he stood before her. The blizzard around them stopped when he arrived to her and is replaced with gentle snowflakes falling.
"You... you're different than any sekirei I had seen." Seishin said as he kneeled before her.
"You look so familiar..." Akitsu said in a cold and neutral tone. "Wait... Are you the man who helped that one ashikabi and his sekirei out of the capital?"
"Yes," Seishin replied. "My name is Seishin Samayou. I am a Soul Reaper and an ashikabi. Tell me, what's your name?"
"I am a discarded sekirei." Akitsu said. "Tell me... more of your past, Soul Reaper."
"I shall." Seishin said with a warm gesture and with that he explained his entire life story up to when he became an ashikabi. It seemed like hours had passed when he explained it all to the sleepy expressed girl.
"You have lived a long and hard life, Soul Reaper." Akitsu said. "You carry the Soul of a Human and the Soul of a Hollow, yet you bear a kind spirit in between those two souls. I can see the sekirei you emerged with must be happy being with you."
"Thank you." Seishin replied and then asked. "Care to tell me about yours?"
"Ok..." She nodded and was going to tell him her story, until... "Wait what are we talking about?"
Seishin's eyes turned beady with his jaw dropped and then fell sideways in a cartoony gesture like he fell over a heavy object. Then he sat up and chuckled nervously. "Uh... You were telling me your life story...?" Seishin asked.
"Oh, yeah... Sorry about that." Akitsu explained her past to him; despite her losing her train of thought sometimes. From the time she escaped MBI from an arrogant adjuster to the time she stayed at Hayato Mikogami's place. Seishin understood the reason she was a scraped sekirei and how she wishes to be emerged like other sekirei and to have a norito of her own.
"I'm terribly sorry for the pain you felt..." Seishin placed his hand on her shoulder. Akitsu blushed a little despite her sleepy yet melancholic look on her face.
"His hand, his gesture, his heart... It feels warm and pure..." She thought over Seishin talking as everything around her became quiet. "It's like a kindling flame soothing my cold heart...
"...I'll do what I can to make you no longer be a scrapped number." Seishin continued. "I know someone who could possibly help you make it happen. I will protect you with my life."
Akitsu's cold emotionless eyes bore into Seishin's as she sees the devotional spirit burning with in him. For the first time, she formed a small smile on her face. The blizzard began forming around them; getting thicker and thicker as it becomes harder to see.
"Seishin Samayou... I shall remember your name until we meet again." Akitsu said as she was slowly consumed by the blizzard.
"Wait!" He cried. "I haven't gotten your name yet!
"You'll know what my name is... When the day we meet once again... comes" Akitsu said as she was gone. Seishin endured the blizzard until he too was consumed by the white light of the blizzard. He finally wakes up from his jinzen training. "Looks like I'm gonna meet that sekirei someday..." He thought as he looked up to see that Kusano was in his room drawing on some blank paper on the desk. She turned to see Seishin getting up.
"Hey, big brother. Enjoyed your nap?" She happily asked.
Seishin chuckled and nodded while patting her head. "Yeah, I enjoyed it." He replied. "Drawing I see."
"Yeah." Kusano said. "I made this for you." She took a drawing out and it shows everyone in Maison Izumo hugging and waving; despite it being stick figures though. Seishin smiled and hugged her.
"That's very sweet of you, Ku. Thank you so much." He said.
Kusano chuckled as she hugged him back. Just then, Matsu stepped in.
"Hey, Seishin." She said. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's alright, Matsu." Seishin kindly replied. "I've been meditating to pass the time. Have you finished making that pill?"
"Yeah, I used what's left of your sample to make it." She said. "Take this with some water and you should have your powers back."
Matsu gave Seishin the red pill, that looks like a gumball that came from a candy dispenser, with a glass of water. He did what Matsu instructed him to do and a second later, he saw only the center portion of his cracked combat pass glow.
"Judging on only the center of my combat pass glowing, I say half of my spiritual pressure's restored." Seishin said which made Matsu sigh a little. "However every little bit helps, thanks Matsu."
"You're very welcome." Matsu replied with a smile. "I understand your powers are even more at risk, but we really want you to hang on. We all will be very worried if anything happens to you."
Seishin wore a warm smile on his face as he gave her and Kusano. "Don't worry, Matsu... I will do all I can to help prevent myself from giving into the unstable hollow energy." Matsu and Kusano blushed as Seishin gave them all a hug. They smiled and began hugging him back.
"There comes a time when someone must believe in their abilities." Matsu said. "Your time will come soon, that I know..." Seishin smiled at her response and nodded. However... "But if you overcome it, I'll be happy to experiment you even more." Matsu snickered naughtily as her glasses gleamed.
"Aw come on, Matsu!" Seishin said feeling embarassed. Just then, his phone began ringing. Kusano went to get it.
"Here, big brother." She said.
"Thanks, Ku." He replied and then looked at his phone. " Hmmm... a text message."
"I have a bad feeling about it..." Seishin's hollow said which Seishin nodded to as he opened his phone to see what it is.
Elsewhere in the city alleys, Yukari and Shiina are doing there thing as usual, defeating opposing sekireis(Shiina), and kicking ashikabis in the groin(Yukari). This time, they fought against an ashikabi who looks like a sumo wrestler.
"Give us the information for sekirei number 108." She threatened as she raised her boot over the man's crotch. "Do that and we'll let you go."
"Look I already told you; I don't know, ya sick twisted psycho!" The sumo cried as he was crawling back from the infamous Demon Ashikabi.
"Yeah? Well in that case...," Yukari smirked wryly at him with glowing red eyes as she readied herself to kick him. "I have no use for you!" With that, Yukari kicked the sumo in the groin and he passed out from the pain. Shiina winced away from the sight of the man who got kicked hard.
"Yikes, that can't be pretty..." Shiina said to himself. "Ever since Seishin stood her up that time, she became a little rougher."
"Aw, man. Another dead end..." Yukari said until her cell began ringing. "Hmm, an e-mail; from who?"
Then the news stretched out to the mansion of Hayato Mikogami as he laughed when he got the news on his phone.
"What got you laughing?" Mutsu wondered.
"It looks like things are going to be interesting." He said with a calm smirk. He then turned to Akitsu who was looking out the window while staying still like a statue.
As the news spreaded all around the capital, it also reached those who take part of the game by manipulating others for them. It had reached out to a man in a pure white suit with a white shirt and black tie underneath. The man went by the name of Higa Izumi, the man manipulating those he work with. His secretary Kakizaki arrived to bring him the news.
"Did you see this?" Kakizaki asked. "We have an e-mail."
"Tell me, can you get in touch with that one?" Higa asked.
"Whatever you want, sir. Just say the word." Kakizaki replied.
Elsewhere in the city, a tan skinned, lean built man with black hair was on his motorcycle. He wore a black leather jacket with matching leather gloves, a trouser with a white skull belt, a pair of goggles around his neck and sported a gruff wild look on himself. He picked up his phone when he saw the e-mail.
His three sekirei were standing next to him. One had tan skin, black hair, green eyes, and is wearing a black leather top that covers the upper part of her chest with bloomers and stockings. Another is also tan skinned but with blonde hairand blue eyes. She also sported a leather bra top with two leather stars on it. The last sekirei of his team took the appearance of a 12-year old girl. She had blonde hair, blue eyes and her clothes were mostly white. She wore a white sweater that's too big with too long sleeves, a white veil held by a black beld arounf her hips, a big white scarf and black knee high boots.
"Looks like we got something new in our hands..." The gruff looking man said as he made a small smirk.
Elsewhere...
"Let's go!" Hibiki cried. "It's time for the night shift."
"You better wake up fast or you're gonna be late." Hikari said.
The news then stretched out to where Seo and his sekirei are living at. Speaking of which; Seo is kinda having a hard time getting up, even though he enjoyed sleeping with Hikari though she has a bigger bust size than her sister Hibiki. (Seo... when will you learn... LOL)
"Can I sleep just a bit longer?" Seo asked feeling tired yet satasfied. "They're so big and bouncy and soft..." He thought as he snuggled against Hikari's breast.
"Hey will you get up already!" She cried until she electricuted Seo with her powers.
"What should I make for lunch today?" Hibiki wondered as she was in her leisure outfit while browsing in the cabinets for something to make, complements of Seishin giving the girls money reciently. "Ah! I know just the thing." Just then, she heard Seo's phone going off. "Seo! You got e-mail!"
"An e-mail; from who?" He asked.
Back to Maison Izumo, Seishin checked his backup phone and his calm expression had turned into a serious glare on his face as he found out who had sent him and the other ashikabi texts.
"I'm Minaka Hiroto, the president of MBI." He announced. "For the ashikabis receiving this e-mail, I have some fun and exciting news I would like to share with you today! In the Northern area, there is one final sekirei that's yet to be emerged..."
In the bathroom, Kagari is still waiting for an opening to leave the place without being seen while Musubi, Tsukiumi and Kazehana; who were talking about who Seishin likes more, were cleaning each other.
"It's first come-first served," Minaka continued, "who knows, maybe you can cause the emergance."
"Damn him..." Seishin muttered between his teeth until he remembered the same thing that happened three months ago. "The last feather? Wait, I had an email like this when he was talking about Ku."
"Oh no; I'll tell you the president has done it now!" Matsu said as she was reading the email closely, despite Seishin's arm hurting in the process.
"Matsu let go; my arm hurts!" He cried.
"The contact is mostly the same..." She continued. "That Minaka! He's stirring up all the ashikabis again!"
"That means every ashikabi in the Western, Southern and Eastern part of the capital will be heading up here to find the last sekirei!" Seishin cried. "Minaka... Damn him!" Seishin's right eye turned hollowfied, until he felt his power grew more unstable; in the form of a heartbeat. Seishin kneeled down and catches his breath and notices another small crack in his combat pass.
"Seishin!" His inner hollow cried.
"Big brother!" Kusano cried as she and Matsu tries to help him up.
"T-Thanks, guys." Seishin said.
"Seishin you must get that sekirei to emerge by your hand tonight!" Matsu cried.
"That can be true, but Minaka said the sekriei's in the Northern area." He replied. "It could be anywhere in this area."
"No, it's right he-!" Matsu almost gave away the location to Seishin which left him slightly confused.
"Wait; what?" Seishin wondered. Matsu grew nervous and decides to make a hasty retreat to her room. "Matsu, wait! What do you mean right here?"
"Big brother?" Kusano called him. "I don't get it, is there someone like Ku used to be?"
"I'm not sure yet." Seishin replied.
"Please, big brother. If so, could you please rescue them like you did for Musubi, Tsukiumi, Kazehana and me?" Seishin looked at Kusano as little tears began to form when she asked him. "I was lonely and crying by myself. Help them; they're all alone out there... I know they're sad... Please help them." Kusano was starting to cry.
"Don't cry, Ku." Seishin said. "What I can do, is something only I am capable of doing... Just like what Matsu said."
"There comes a time when someone must believe in their abilities." Matsu said. "Your time will come soon, that I know..." Matsu's words were reflected in both his mind and his inner hollow's.
"Seishin..."His hollow answered him and Seishin nodded with a smile on his face.
"If this one is really alone out there and if they need help, I'll will do whatever it takes to save them." Seishin said. "I risked myself multiple times even before I met you guys; pushing everything I had to their limits. In the end I was able to save those I cared... So Ku, you know that what I'm gonna do."
A strong light of hope was shining down on Kusano as she smiled at him
"Oh thank you, big brother! I love you!" Kusano cried as she glomped him.
Back in the bathroom, Musubi and Tsukiumi were talking about first crushes. Kazehana was the first person the other two girls asked. At the same time, Kagari was pondering on how to get out of the bathroom without being seen.
"I can't take this anymore..." She thought as she sank her head in the water. As she noticed the other girls talking, she took the opportunity to leave without being seen. Just then, Seishin was heading up the stairs after his sword training despite his powers being unstable. He returned to his notmal form by helding the combat pass tightly though it was cracked in the center. When he arrived to the second floor, he noticed Kagari holding on to the side of the windows as her breathing grew heavier.
"Kagari, are you ok?" Seishin asked as he rushed to help her. "What's the matter?"
"Sei...shin..." Kagari gasped and fell down. However; Seishin caught her in the nick of time, but while he's holding her, he then came to a shocking discovery. Seishin felt something soft when he blushed, as he looked down he felt Kagari's breast.
"What the...? Kagari's a girl!?" Seishin mentally exclaimed. "All this time, I've been living in Maison izumo since day one and I didn't know that Kagari's a girl?!"
"Remember when I said that there's a little something you're gonna find out, Seishin?" Seishin's inner hollow appeared in astral form.
"Uh-huh..." Seishin replied nervously.
"Umm... yeah... this is the something I am talking about." Seishin's hollow chuckled. In Seishin's mind; though his inner hollow is watching as well, Seishin imagined his mental self, whose head performed several W.T.F. Bombs the size of an atomic explosion.
"Oh. My. KAMI!" Seishin screamed on the inside and his inner hollow laughed. "Shut up, dang you!"
"My body.. it's like it's on fire!" Kagari thought as she was breathing heavilly. "It feels... so good!" Just then, she looked up at the red haired man she sees before her; as it snapped him back to reality. Her heart was beating heavily as her body becomes more reacted to Seishin. The two locked eyes as she leaned in; closing her eyes and attempting to kiss him.
At the same time it's happening, Musubi along with Kazehana and Tsukiumi finished getting cleaned and finshed talking about first crushes. However, what Kazehana said left them dumbfounded and dropping their buckets
"Kazehana!" Tsukiumi cried and asked. "Does thou jest or speak here in truth?"
"There's no way!" Musubi said. "I can't believe what you're telling us!"
"Oh my!" Kazehana said. "I guess it slipped right out."
"Wait! Does thou said that he was thy former partner in love?" Tsukiumi asked. "Thou was really in love with the President of MBI?!"
Speaking of...(Shudders) Minaka, he stood at the top floor of the tower watching the city before him while he sent the text to everyone in Shinto Teiho. Takami however, didn't like the idea as she ran up to him in rage and smacked him in the head with her clipboard. (Yay! Do it again, Takami! XD)
"Now that wasn't very friendly Takami." He said slightly irritated.
"What the hell you've done, Minaka?!" Takami asked with strictness in her voice. His chuckle was his reply to her.
"Shinto Teiho's becoming much too calm." Minaka said. "This is simply a tiny token from the game master to all the game players out there." He turned to Takami with that smirk on his face. "It's nothing more than a side show."
Back in the Inn, Kagari was about to kiss Seishin and become emerged. However... Kagari snapped out of her daze as she noticed she was about a few centimeters from emergance. The two were looking at each other; both blushing madly. Then the two turned their attention to Seishin's hand on her chest.
"Ok.. This, might get a little too awkward.." Seishin's hollow said.
Kagari screamed and punched Seishin hard in the face, sending him a foot away from her; knocking him out, and the chain holding his combat pass a few inches from his right hand. As she catches her breath, she looked down at the crimson haired shinigami she punched.
"That was an attempted emergance;" Kagari thought, "I didn't want to think about it, it's impossible but it's true. I am having a reaction to that man."
"Seishin! Are you alright?" Seishin's hollow called out to him as he tried to wake him up.
"So now I wasn't convinced." Kagari continued thinking to herself. "My reaction to an ashikabi. I'm a prototype sekirei, I don't want anyone to make me emerged nor becoming anyone's sekirei. If my body's reactions and its changes in my power are his doing; if he is the one causing this, then..."
"Seishin, WAKE UP!" Seishin's hollow cried which woke him up only to see Kagari holding a fireball in her right hand.
"What the...!" Seishin grabbed the chain, pulling his combat pass into his right hand and gripped it tightly. However his combat pass wasn't activating. "Come on, work!"
Just then Kagari was stunned because of one thing... her powers is becoming harder to control.
My flames... I can't control them!" She thought.
"No way!" He thought as he was greatly astounded. "Now two secrets are finally revealed, not only Kagari is a girl, but she's a sekirei too!" Just then a gallon of water was poured down; Seishin saw it coming as he slid back and rolled away to evade it. He then turned his sight to see Musubi, Kazehana and Tsukiumi in towels.
"What was that fire there? Speak, Kagari!" Tsukiumi announced. Kagari's reply... was nothing more than a chuckle.
"Thanks, Tsukiumi." Kagari said as she turned to her. "My eyes are finally awakened." She turned her attention back to Seishin. I get it now; you're not the one I needed to kill, Seishin."
"Uhh, Kagari... What the heck is going on?" Seishin asked her as he sat up.
"I scared you a little, didn't I? I'm sorry about that." Kagari said as she rubbed her fist in his face. "Although I won't apologize for punching you in the face. You're the first man who touched my chest; I can't let that one slide, huh?"
"Seishin, I'm appauled! Dost thy gate really swing both ways?!" Tsukiumi asked.
"Seishin has a swinging gate?" Musubi wondered.
Seishin got a deadpan expression on his face as the two girls asked him.
"No, Tsukiumi..." Kagari said. "Seishin didn't know I was a girl all this time. He's not THAT TYPE of person if that's what you're thinking, If you excuse me..." Kagari's fake smirk was on her face as she looked at Seishin and the girls. Her smirk faded when she turned away and left for her room.
"See even Kagari said so herself." Seishin said.
As Kagari arrived to the door of her room, an enraged look on her face was shown as she knows who to kill.
"Kagari..." Miya called her as she got her attention.
"Be careful." Miya said with seriousness in her eyes. "Minaka is not the type of man who is easy to kill."
"I know that, Miya..." Kagari said while balling her fist tightly. "But still, this has got to stop.
"Homura..." Miya said feeling concerned for her.
"There's just no denying it; my body's reacting to an ashikabi. Minaka... He's done. I'm gonna end him and the Sekirei Plan, even if I die trying." Kagari said with a wicked glare in her eyes.
Kagari: Well, looks like my secret's out.
Taka2012: You may be a prototype but you are an ashikabi nonetheless.
Kagari: That may be true.
Taka2012: Funny thing is that Tsukiumi doesn't know that you're both Kagari and Homura.
Kagari: Heh... Yeah, she's gonna flip when she knows the secret. *She chuckled*
Taka2012: I agree... *Smiles as I walked a little* Seishin and Kagari sitting in a tree... K...I...S...S...
Kagari: Taka... *Gets a little irritated* So help me, do not say I...N..G...!
Taka2012: I wasn't going to... You did it for me! *Laughs out loud*
Kagari: *Blushes darkly after realizing it and then formed fireballs in her hands out of anger, when I struck her nerves* You're dead, Taka! *Runs towards me*
Taka2012: Uhh... I better go. Chapter 5 will be up soon once Kagari let out some steam. This has been good ol' Taka2012, signing off and running for my life! *Runs away from her*
Kagari: GET BACK HERE, TAKA! *Fires a fireball while I evaded it*
Taka2012: Seishin and Kagari sitting in a tree... K...I...S...S...I...N..G...! *Laughs loudly until I got hit in the butt by her fireballs. The two of us continued running all over the camera room as the camera shuts off by itself, when I accidently fell on it.*
