(I don't own all of Sekirei or all of Bleach, only my character. It's a harem and I hope you like it.)
Taka2012: Hey guys Taka2012 here to begin chapter five of Sekirei EX II. Last chapter, Seishin discovered Kagari's a female which shook him harder than an earthquake.
Kagari: Heh, yeah... I did leave the young man quite stunned since he touched my chest.
Taka2012: Yeah, even I didn't know you were a girl AND a sekirei(I seen the whole thing. Even Kagari's secret)the whole time. That even shook me!
Kagari: Well... Now that you know I am a girl, I'm afraid you're gonna have to keep that secret for me. Even Seishin, shouldn't know this...
Taka2012: Uhh... Seishin already knows you're a girl and a sekirei.
Kagari: Dang it... *Face-palms and sighs* Ok, then if you excuse me... I got a game master to kill. *Turns and leaves.* Minaka... I will take you down!
Taka2012: Oh man... This is going to be a problem. Kagari's gonna be in a pickle when she marches out to the battlefield. Let's begin Chapter 5 of Sekirei EX II. *Turns to his right* Are you up to this, Seishin?
Seishin: *Nods* I shall. No matter the sacrifices, no matter the cost... I will save Kagari! Let's begin!
Sekirei EX II
Chapter 5: Homura Heads For MBI
The sun setting, the skies turned dusk orange, and the winds had silenced... A perfect setting for the ashikabis in the Eastern, Western and Southern areas of Shinto Teiho. The race to get the final feather in the Northern area has begun. And Seishin was the first ashikabi to know who the final sekirei is since she almost attacked him in the middle of the halls of Maison Izumo.
The story continues after Seishin discovers Kagari's a sekirei. It begins with Kazehana getting out of the bathroom, feeling completely refreshed. With each step, her largely endowed assets jiggled she took while she stretched her arms as she walked out of the bathroom.
"Ah! Must have fallen asleep in the tub." Kazehana said as she was wearing a purple towel around her hourglass figure. Just then, she heard Seishin, Musubi and Tsukiumi arguing so Kazehana went to check it out. "Hey guys, what's the hubbub?" She asked.
"Prepare thyself to be shocked, Kazehana." Tsukiumi said to her.
"Seishin groped Kagari's breast and got clobbered by her in the face and won't apologize for it!" Musubi said which made Seishin face-palmed himself.
"For the umpteenth time, I didn't know Kagari's a female!" Seishin exclaimed.
"Huh?" Kazehana wondered.
Just out of nowhere, Miya stepped in showing her calm but scary smile to the girls.
"My, my... You three look very immodest right now." She said which spooked the girls. "Of course, bath towel parties are prohibited in Maison Izumo." She warned the girls as she displayed; not one, but three demonic visages at once (Wow... That running gag never ceases to make me laugh. XD).
The three girls shuddered in nervousness and nodded as they went back in the bathroom to change. Seishin as he looked at Kagari's door while thinking about what he saw just a short moment ago.
"All that time I was here, I thought Kagari was a man..." Seishin thought. "Of course Kagari looks feminine at first glance, but now..." Seishin began blushing a dark red as he raised his hands like he's cupping air while his eyes shrunk and his jaw dropped in shock. "Oh... My... Kami!"
"Something wrong, big brother?" Seishin snapped back to reality when Kusano asked while she was holding a couple blankets that were neatly folded.
No; it was nothing, Ku. I'm alright." Seishin replied to her. "Why did Kagari try to kill me? I didn't do anything bad to her, so what caused that to happen?" He thought to himself.
"We're not sure exactly, Seishin;" Seishin's hollow spoke telepathically, "But one thing is indeed true, other than Kagari being a girl...
"I know... Kagari's a sekirei, no question about it." Seishin thought as he looked at his combat pass. "However when that moment happened and I wanted to turn into my Soul Reaper form, my combat pass didn't activate. Are my powers being that unstable?"
Miya and Kusano looked at Seishin as they never seen him this concerned before. At the same time, Kagari was in her room. She closed the door and pressed herself against it, while remembering that moment. Just then, she noticed her phone by the TV going off. Someone was calling her, so she went to answer it. It was Takami.
"Look Takami, I don't have time for any guardian business so—"
"Thank goodness!" Takami sounded worried. "You gotta get out of th- no scratch that; you need to stay in Maison Izumo. You mustn't step foot outside that place."
"What! Why not?" Kagari asked. "Did something happen?"
"It just did..." Takami replied.
Just then, Seishin stood by her door; thinking on what he wanted to say.
"Alright, I just wanted to talk with you Kagari." He thought. "You're not in trouble or anything, though..." Seishin took a deep breath and looked at the door with a calm expression. "Here we go..." Seishin knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" She asked.
"Kagari, it's Seishin and I wanted to talk to you." He said while mustering his confidence. "You're not in trouble though. But I wanted to tell you that I got this e-mail from MBI. It says "First come, First served"."
"First come, first served?" She asked. "For what?"
"It's an emergence." Seishin replied. "Maybe you'll cause the emergence...is what the e-mail said. It also said the final feather is here in the North..." Kagari's eyes widen in shock. "Look I know what's going on and what you truly are... You're the final feather, aren't you Kagari; the last sekirei everyone in Shinto Teiho is looking for..."
Kagari looked away from the door slightly forgetting Takami's on the phone.
"Is someone there, Kagari?" Takami asked in a serious tone.
"So then what, Seishin?" Kagari asked. "Are you doing this for your pathetic housemate?"
"No, Kagari; that isn't the reason." Seishin said.
"Oh yeah, then what's the real reason you're here?" She bluntly asked while wrapping her arms around her chest.
"Because we're friends and I want to help you." Seishin replied. "I don't want to see you suffer, Kagari. Please, let me help you." He pleaded to Kagari, however his words were no avail as she gets up.
"I don't need help, nor your damn sympathy, Seishin! Just leave me alone!" Kagari said as she donned her black jacket and then went to pick her phone up. "I'm sorry Takami, but I am going to kill Minaka now and I don't want anyone stopping me."
"Kagari, wait!" Takami cried however, she was cut off when Kagari hung the phone up and tossed it to the bed.
"I'm coming for you Minaka." She thought as she walked to the window despite Seishin calling out to her. By the time he barged in her room, Kagari was gone.
"Damn... she left." Seishin said. "I can't let that happen; I gotta save her!" Just then, he heard Kagari's phone ringing and he went to pick it up. "It's Takami... I have a feeling she had blown a fuse since Kagari had shut her down."
Elsewhere at the same time Kagari had left Maison Izumo, Yukari and Shiina were at the nearest shopping district reading over the e-mail MBI had sent.
"The final feather's in the north?" Yukari wondered. "Shiina, maybe that's where Ku is."
"Yeah, it might be her!" Shiina replied.
"Ok, let's get moving!" Yukari said as the two left for the North.
Back at Maison Izumo, Seishin answered the phone and hear what Takami has to say.
"KAGARI, HOLD ON! DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID!" Takami screamed. Wow, talk about an earful.
"Takami, it's Seishin and before we get to the subject may I say one thing..." Seishin said.
"Oh, Seishin. Sure what is it?" Takami calmed down and asked.
"Oh, nothing much but I need you to STOP YELLING THROUGH THE GOSHDARN PHONE! YOU ALMOST MADE ME GO DEAF IN ONE EAR!" Seishin screamed back while displaying that scowl.
"Sorry, Seishin." Takami said. "Tell me, did Kagari leave already?"
"Yeah, she did." He replied.
"Seishin, you have to find her!" Takami said. "She mustn't be outside!"
"What? What's going on?" Seishin asked with stern in his voice.
While Seishin's on the phone with Takami, Musubi with Tsukiumi and Kazehana are in the bathroom getting dressed after Miya warned them. Tsukiumi, on the other hand while getting dressed, was pondering over what she and Musubi had seen.
"What's the matter?" Musubi asked.
"My anger has been so great that I failed to give it much consideration," Tsukiumi wondered, "but how did flames appear in Kagari's hand?"
"Yeah, that's a good question." Musubi said.
"The only one who can manifest flames is Homura." She said. "A rival whose flames bested me during our first confrontation."
(Flashback)
While Tsukiumi explained who Homura is, she remembered the night the two first fought. Tsukiumi was slightly singed and her clothes were charred, revealing some of her body and undergarments. She watched as Homura was standing before her in the flames she made.
"Without a master, what is there to fight for?" Homura said. "So instead of worrying about me Number Nine, you should be looking for the master you seek."
(Flashback ended)
"She ruined my dress!" She said while covering her endowed assets.
"...and got all burnt up." Musubi added in. "It's so weird that you lost a fight!"
"I know, but I shall have my revenge one of these days!" Tsukiumi announced.
"And I shall zip up your back, if you like." Musubi politely asked.
"Yes, you can do that. I thank thee." Tsukiumi said as she moved her hair so Musubi can zip up her dress. "As I said, that was our first skirmish. I tried to defeat Homura several times since then, but she's proven to be too strong. The strongest sekirei can be pre-emergence."
"She hasn't been emerged yet?" Musubi wondered.
"I have not seen him as of late;" Tsukiumi replied and pondered, "So I cannot be certain. However, she's a secretive woman; quite indeed... Even her face, it's half hidden behind a mask."
"A mask..." Musubi wondered
I once chance upon her exposed face as she laid payee after a duel." Tsukiumi continued as she remembered meeting her again in the alleys. "Tis improper to stare at others at length, so I didn't get a good look at her visage."
"Where was it...?" Musubi continued wondering.
"Strangely, I had gotten the feeling lately that Homura's close by;" Tsukiumi said. "In fact there's something that reminds me of her presence."
While the two girls are talking, Kazehana tries to sneak out the bathroom while being unnoticed. Until...
"Wait!" Musubi cried as she finally remembers Homura. "I remember now! I saw someone wearing a mask before, outside the arboretum once when I mistook her for Kagari." She chuckled afterwards.
"Wait, Kagari?" Tsukiumi said.
"Yeah, they look identical from behind." Musubi replied.
"Perhaps, there's a chance resemblance." Tsukiumi replied while pondering. "But back to the matter at hand; Kagari wielding a flame in her hand. How? I've been told that the only flame wielding sekirei is Homura, but we saw Kagari do it as well." As she pondered at what happened earlier, something in her mind had clicked. "It can't be... unless they..." She has finally realized it... and about time too. A nerve in Tsukiumi had finally snapped as she knows that Kagari and Homura is the same person. "DAMN! THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME!"
"Looks like they found out..." Kazehana said to herself.
Back in Kagari's bedroom, Takami had told the news to Seishin that Kagari turned out to be the final feather that hasn't emerged yet. A shocked expression remained on Seishin's face like he was going to drop the phone on the floor, but he held on to it firmly in his hand without pressing any of the buttons. He then snapped back to reality Takami called his name through the phone.
"I see, now..." Seishin said in a serious but calm tone. "Kagari's the last sekirei, huh?"
"To be specific, the final feather is Sekirei Number Six: Homura." Takami replied.
"Ok. So she used the name "Kagari" as an alias here at Maison Izumo," Seishin said, "but while out in the city, she's known by her real name, Homura."
"That's correct." Takami replied back to him. "You have to stop her before it's too late. Not only she's a target for all ashikabis in the capital, but she plans to kill Minaka and die along with him."
"Damn!" Seishin muttered as he held his combat pass firmly in his hand. "Ok, I'll save her."
"I knew I can count on you, Seishin." Takami said to him. "Kagari dying is something I can't cope with, but Minaka... he needs to."
Seishin smirked. "Cold and to the point about Minaka. Yet another person who hates Minaka as much as I do. Me likey.
"Thanks for the complement, Seishin." Takami said. "Seishin, you are the only hope on saving Kagari. After what I heard about what happened on the bridge escape, I knew I found someone who could open their hearts to you."
"Ok, Takami. I will do my be-; no scratch that, I WILL save Kagari!" Seishin replied calmly.
"Good luck, Soul Reaper." Takami said and then hung up she hangs up.
"Well, I got yet another mission in this mission: Save Homura." Seishin said to himself. Just then, his cell phone rang. It was Kisuke. "Wassup, Kisuke?"
"I'm calling to see how's your spiritual pressure holding on; is everything ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, but there is some things I have to tell you." Seishin said.
"Let's see, "Kagari's the last sekirei and you can't turn into your soul reaper form" are what you're gonna tell me, right?" Kisuke guessed.
"Ok... How the hell did you know all of that?!" Seishin asked while cocking his eyebrow in a suspicious gesture.
"For Kagari, Takami told me." Kisuke said.
"Wow, you're one hell of a hacker if you managed to get Takami's number." Seishin smirked.
"As for your combat pass, I am checking up on your spiritual pressure as I speak." He continued while looking at the computer. "Your powers being that unstable caused a prevention in turning you to a Soul Reaper. The only way to turn into it at the state you're in is to exhaust some of your power into it and it will turn you into your Soul Reaper form. The risk however is that you will lose a chunk of your spiritual pressure."
"I see." Seishin said. "I'll take the risk. I must save Kagari otherwise SHE will die!"
"Seishin, you'll lose your powers even more if you go out like that!" Kisuke debated.
"Protecting people means that you've gotta make their well-being more important than your own...and it also means that to keep protecting them you must never betray them...never." Seishin said to a speechless Kisuke. "I'm sorry. I must save Kagari. I'll handle the consequences of my actions afterwards."
"Sei—" Kisuke called out to Seishin but he hung him up.
"Sorry, Kisuke... I have to do this..." Seishin said as he looked. Just then he heard several footsteps heading for this room. He then sees Musubi and the girls barge the door down.
"Thy jig is up—huh?" Tsukiumi said until she and the girls and Seishin locked eyes as they saw him in the same room Kagari's in.
"Uhh... Hello..." Seishin said in a slight sheepish tone.
"SEISHIN!" She cried. "For what reason art thou in the midst of Homura's bedroom?!" Seishin tries to explain it but she interrupted him. "Wait, don't tell me... Thou had thine groping hands all over Homura's body?"
"Are you kidding me?" Seishin said. "I didn't do anything. I wanted to talk to Kagari but she fled the house, and left her phone here. Afterwards I spoke to Kisuke!"
"He's telling the truth." Matsu appeared by the doorway. Everyone turned to see her.
"Thank you, Matsu." Seishin said and sighed with relief, until Tsukiumi sprayed water in his face.
"It's about time we shed some light on some things." Matsu continued. "Follow me."
Seishin and his other sekirei followed Kusano and Matsu to the dining room. From there, Matsu explained to them about Homura reacting to him. Because of that, it shook Tsukiumi and Kazehana. Tsukiumi mostly.
"Homura's reacting to thee as an ashikabi?" She asked.
"Yes, it seems so." Seishin replied.
"Homura, that hypocrite." Tsukiumi criticized boastfully. "Preaching so harshly about finding thy own ashikabi is just like the pot calling the kettle black!"
"Tsukiumi, I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Kazehana said. "She swore me to secrecy."
"Even so, it took you way too long to figure it out, Tsukiumi." Matsu added in.
"I'm guessing she and Kagari had a rivalry going on long before I met you all, didn't you?" Seishin said which got the girls' attention.
"How did thou know that?" Tsukiumi asked him.
"Well, it's kinda simple. Kagari's a Fire-type and you're a water-type." Seishin said. "Fire against Water, well it's common for two elements of opposite ends to clash. However, fire may be strong, but water seeks potential. That's why you couldn't stop giving up until you overcome Kagari."
"Hmph, you're right about that, Seishin." Tsukiumi admitted with a smirk while folding her arms under her assets. "Your knowledge knows no bounds."
"We must find her, Matsu." Kazehana said. "What are we up against?"
"For starters, a ton of ashikabis are heading to the north thanks to that e-mail." Matsu answered.
"And if an ashikabi catches her, she'll be emerged against her will." Seishin said as he balled his fist up tightly. "We can't let that happen." Tsukiumi saw how he feels from his tightened fist and angered expression.
"True, but if she gives those ashikabis the slip and makes it to MBI..." Matsu said.
"She'll have to face the Discipline Squad." Seishin included as he growled in anger. His combat pass began to glow faintly through his shirt as his spiritual pressure was slowly exhausting into the cracked piece of metal on a chain around his neck. "Damn it all..."
"Seishin, did Homura really react to thee as thou said?" Tsukiumi asked him.
"Yes she did." Seishin replied as he placed his hand on his chest. "It felt like how it did with you all here. It's somewhat hard to describe, but I felt a strong feeling in my chest like we were meant to be connected."
Tsukiumi looked at him and at his combat pass glowing in his shirt. After a long minute of pondering, though she knows he has five sekireis with him, she made her final decision; though it's a regretful one. She blushed feverishly as she got up while gathering what pride she has left to say to Seishin.
"Very well! Six feathers are better than five!" Tsukiumi cried. "Seishin... Thou must go out there and make Homura thy wife!"
A shocked look on Seishin's face was shown; his eyes shrunk, his jaw dropped and he froze in place. He was surprised that Tsukiumi said something that was completely out of her character.
"You heard the lady, Seishin." His hollow said to him telepathically but he didn't answer. "Hey, Seishin... Great Kami, I hope you didn't pass out on me again." He shook him to his senses; however he was awake all this time.
"I didn't pass out, hollow." Seishin said. "I am just dumbfounded that Tsukiumi said something that was totally out of character."
"I, thou real wife, give thee permission to make Homura emerge." Tsukiumi announced. "Make her emerge before it's too late!"
"This is yet another milestone in my life, seeing a sekirei being completely out of character." Seishin said. "You're going through with this, huh Tsukiumi?"
"If I must, then I shall bear the regret I have made." Tsukiumi said while dialing down her anger. "If it means sharing thy husband with five other concubines, then I must take responsibility. I shall show thee how calm and broad minded I can be." With that, Tsukiumi began laughing sheepishly.
"Is it just me or I think she just lost it." Matsu said while looking at Tsukiumi.
"I think she's right." Seishin's hollow agreed with what Matsu had said.
"What do you think guys?" Seishin asked the other sekireis. Matsu was first to reply.
"I don't have a problem with it, Seishin." She said.
"Neither do I. I am with you all the way, Seishin." Kazehana joined in.
"Kagari's a good person!" Musubi said and Kusano nodded. "We want to help her like how she helped us."
"What do you think, Seishin?" Kazehana asked him. "This is your decision as well."
"My decision, huh?" Seishin pondered over what he might think. Just then, he saw Kusano looking at him with tears in her eyes. He also remembered what she said earlier.
(Flashback)
"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.
(Flashback ended)
"Please help her..." Kusano asked him. "Please help Kagari."
Seishin didn't say a word, but he turned to Tsukiumi, getting her attention.
"Tell me, Tsukiumi..." Seishin said. "Do you want me to make Kagari emerge because you're worried about her?"
"Preposterous! Such petty emotion is not behind my reasoning." Tsukiumi said as she paused and made a slight wry smile imagining what may happen later. "All I want is revenge and for a fitting punishment for the harsh lecture she had given me." She then thought of what may happen when Kagari's safe. "However, I did think it would be safer for my rival to be in thou care, Seishin."
"I'm glad..." Seishin closed his eyes and smiled as he took out his combat pass. "Tsukiumi doesn't want kagari to get hurt, neither does Ku or any of you. This isn't about just sekireis; or in my case: ashikabis, but friends who are willing to help others out. Like I told Kisuke on the phone earlier...
(Flashback)
"Kisuke, my mother once told me: Protecting people means that you've gotta make their well-being more important than your own...and it also means that to keep protecting them you must never betray them... Never." Seishin said to a speechless Kisuke. "I'm sorry. I must save Kagari. I'll handle the consequences of my actions afterwards."
(Flashback ended)
"Protecting people means making their well being more important than your own. I will never betray those I care, especially you guys..." Seishin gripped his combat pass and took a deep breath as he began glowing a light scarlet and exhausted some of his spirit energy into it despite losing some power to do so. Then he gripped it tightly despite it cracked as his clothes were enveloped in a blue aura and then appeared in his soul reaper uniform with the Captain's Haori on. He then opened his eyes and smirked confidently. "...and that's why I will... no, WE will go save Kagari, together!"
"Aw, Seishin." Musubi said as she, Kusano, Kazehana and Matsu smiled.
"It's about time thou made a decision." Tsukiumi said. "Well spoken however."
Seishin smiled and appeared in front of Tsukiumi using flashstep.
"Tsukiumi, thanks... for the additional confidence boost as well. You have my gratitude." Seishin smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek, making her blush and smile as a response.
"Aw, that's so sweet! That's one of the things I love about you, Seishin!" Kazehana said as she glomped him to the floor. Kusano jumped on him as well, giving him a hug. Then Musubi and Matsu then dog piled on the Soul Reaper, showering him with affection. Tsukiumi however got a little too irritated as she saw the others glomping him.
"Seishin," Matsu called him, "I anticipated her running off, and so I attached a transmitter on her outfit so we can find her. I advise you to catch up to her before it's too late."
"Thanks Matsu." Seishin smiled. "Alright, we better get ready."
"Right!" The sekrieis cried cheerfully.
As the full moon shined over the night sky, Homura leapt from one building to another as she grew closer to MBI's main tower. However, when she got to another building, which is inches away from MBI, a lone sekriei was awaiting her. It was the Discarded Sekirei, Akitsu.
(Now playing Bleach OST: Treachery)
"The Discarded Number." Homura said as she looked at her. "Just what are you doing here?"
"My master wishes you apprehended." She said coldly. "So his wish... Is my command!" She formed several floating ice shards around her.
"This is the third time I fought you and it's going to be the last!" Homura manifested a fireball in her right hand. The two sekireis charged at each other and the battle began. Elsewhere, someone was watching the fight happening from a distance. It was Hayato Mikogami and one of his sekirei, Mutsu who were standing by the white limo.
"Oh, how exciting!" Hayato said with glee. "Now this is what a sekirei battle should look like."
"You're sure you don't want to send more sekireis to help Akitsu?" Mutsu asked.
"Don't be such a spoiled sport, Mutsu." Hayato said. "A sekirei battle should always be one on one."
"That's rich, coming from you out of all people in Shinto Teiho." Mutsu said sarcastically while crossing his arms. "You usually send many sekireis all at once."
"But it's different when I'm watching the fight." Hayato said. "Besides that, Mutsu, sometimes it's more fun to follow the rules."
Back at Maison Izumo, Seishin and the others except Matsu are outside as they are preparing to depart.
"Well, we're ready to go Miya." Musubi said. "Wish us luck ok?"
"Good luck to you guys." Miya said as she and Matsu waved to them. Just as they were about to leave, Miya called Seishin as she got his attention. "Seishin,about Kagari... she has yet to pay me this month's rent, unfortunately. So as a result, I need you to being her back even if you have to drag her."
Seishin chuckled nervously a little. "Sure, Miya... But can I ask you for two favors...?"
"Sure, what's that?" Miya replied.
"For starters, STOP SPOOKING ME WITH THAT VISAGE!" Seishin cried.
"Sorry about that. I can get a little out of hand with that." Miya replied.
"...and the other favor is that you hold this..." Seishin continued as he handed her a white envelope with the flap tucked in instead of sealed. "I have a hunch Seo will arrive. Give this to Hibiki and Hikari for me, ok?"
"I will do so." Miya smiled calmly at him.
"Thanks." Seishin said as he then sensed a familiar spiritual pressure near him. It was Ichigo Kurosaki who appeared by the entrance. "Ichigo, what's up."
"Kisuke told me what happened and he wanted me to give you this." Ichigo handed him a blue candy pill. "He figured that you might rebel against him someday so he made this to restore your power by seventy five percent."
"Interesting... Ok, I'll take it." Seishin ate the pill and noticed his spiritual pressure mostly restored and his combat pass almost entirely glowed. Ichigo then noticed his combat pass cracking and before he could ask him, Seishin intervened. "Before you ask me anything, I'll call you instead. Time is of the essence."
"Ok, good luck firefly." Ichigo said as he left using flashstep.
"Ready to depart?" Tsukiumi announced.
Seishin carried Kusano on his back and stood up to look at the girls.
(Previous song ends and Rescue begins: Inserting Yugioh theme song – Yusei's Theme: 30 second song.)
"Alright, time to roll out!" Seishin announced as he entered his flight stance. "Saa, ikouze!" Seishin said as he jumped high into the sky. His sekirei followed him.
"So I guess we just missed the kid, huh?" Seo and his sekireis arrived at the doorway.
"Hello, Seo." Miya said.
"How did he predict Seo was coming over; is Seishin some kind of psychic?" Matsu thought."What brings you three here?"
"Well I got this e-mail from MBI so I thought about coming by to see everything's ok." Seo said.
The lightning twins and Matsu leaned close to each other, away from Miya and Seo to explain the real reason they came.
"Actually we're out of food again for the bazillonth time." Hikari said. Hibiki nodded with her and Seo chuckled nervously.
"I won't get understand Kagari or Uzume, they won't tell me anything." Miya said while looking down. "Why can't they open up? I'll be happy to help is they asked."
Ok, but would it had changed if they had?" Matsu asked her.
"Quite a bit, Matsu." She replied. "I would have gone and killed Minaka myself." She turned to Matsu displaying the same cold eyes that she had when she was in the Discipline Squad.
"Y-Yeah and if you did that, it would turn into a large monster battle and no one will be left standing when that's done."
"Yeah and I don't think Takehito will see that happen." Matsu said as she took her PDA from between her cleavage, turned it on and watches what's happening.
"Yeah... He never wanted any of this." Seo said. "If he was still around, then there would not have been this crazy sekirei plan."
"Speaking of plans, what about yours?" Miya asked Matsu who didn't say a word after what Seo said. "Don't you know what it means for Seishin to have six sekireis in his possession? He would be stressed out. Matsu, did you or anyone else talk to him before he makes the final decision?"
"Yeah... multiple sekireis for only one ashikabi." Seo said. "It sucks; he's going to see all of them fight until there's only one."
"I know the game's rules are set in stone, but I find myself believing in Seishin." Matsu said. "He once said something on the night during the escape while assisting Haruka and Kuno..."
(Flashback)
"My loving bond with my sekirei and my friends are the reasons I am strong." Seishin said as he pointed his left thumb to his chest. "As long as I shall live, I shall continue to protect those I love... even if it costs me my very life!"
(Flashback ended)
"If there's someone who can stop Minaka's twisted game, it's him: Shinto Teiho's Shinikabi...(Shinigami + Ashikabi) , and in the end, we'll live happy long lives together." Matsu continued.
Miya smiled and chuckled a little. "Matsu that's sweet, but still...
"Sorry, but it isn't gonna happen." Seo disagreed and his sekireis went with his reply.
"Awww, but Miya; you should have some hope for him as well. You trained with Musubi and Tsukiumi." Matsu said to her and then turned to Seo. "And you three were there to help Seishin make Kusano and Tsukiumi emerge, shouldn't you have some hope for him as well?"
"Matsu those are entirely different matters." Miya said. "He's a great person, but as an ashikabi, Musubi and the others are wasted on him."
"Yeah, but not just them but their bodacious bombshells of boobs as well." Seo said which made Hikari pretty pissed at what he said about Seishin's sekirei.
"Hado Number 31: Shakkaho!" A familiar voice rang their ears as a red ball of spirit energy struck Seo again like the last time. Everyone turned and looked up and saw Seishin standing on a roof as the moon shined down on him.
"What did you do that for?!" Seo yelled.
"For flirty comments of my sekireis... again." Seishin's clone said as he used flashstep and appeared beside them. He then turned to Miya. "Matsu's right, Miya. I'll do all I can to have us live happily ever after. But if you don't want to agree with what this genius said, it's ok to make opinions..." He wrapped his arm around Matsu. "Just wait until I do the impossible. No matter what, I won't give up... Not for my sake, but the sake of all the sekreis in Shinto Teiho."
"Seishin..." Matsu smiled at him. "You may be a clone of him using the zanpaktou's power, but still you are the sweetest person. Thank you Seishin."
"Anytime, Matsu." Seishin's clone replied with a smile and gave a smack peck on the cheek; then turned to Miya and Seo. "Make sure you give them my gift, Miya and I'll see you when I return home with Kagari. Until then..."
With a bow, Seishin's clone turned into flames and dissolved away into nothing.
"Well... you heard it from the man himself." Matsu said as she walked back inside. "...and taking a line from him, When a Samayou makes a promise... he'll do all he can to never EVER break that promise,"
"Wow," Seo said, "for a Soul Reaper, Seishin's pretty tricky..."
"But for a guy like Seishin..." Hikari said. "He's the nicest guy we had ever met...and one who isn't a pervert." She and her sister agreed. "Speaking of perverts!" Hikari used her power to shock Seo... again.
Matsu went back to her room with a triumphant smile on her face; leaving behind a speechless Miya who's surprised that her and all of his sekirei supports him that high extent.
"Seishin...Could he be...?" Miya looked at the night sky as the camera pans up to the luminescent moon in the center of the night sky. "I'll be right back ok?" Miya said as she went to the kitchen to get some food and gathered them in 2 large sacks. She came back out and handed it to them.
"Thank you and we're sorry for the umpteenth time!" The lightning twins cried.
"That's ok, girls." Miya said. "Your ashikabi's lack of resourses is not your fault." She smiled and then remembered what Seishin wanted her to give to them. "Oh almost forgot, Seishin wanted me to give you this."
"Huh, what is it?" Hibiki and Hikari made Seo hold the bags of food, took the envelope and opened it up, in it was a letter:
"Dear Hibiki, Hikari and Seo,
I had a feeling you would come to Miya to check up on me and mainly to, and I emphasize it in underlining, getting more food to last a couple of days.. Seo. Thanks to the Soul Reapers, they gave me 3 checks for what I did on the Bridge escape. Let's just say, a certain Head Captain I know somehow has a checking account in the World of the Living that lasted for over a couple hundred years. I'm sharing one of them for you guys. Feel free to buy clothes, food and whatever else you want. Just make sure not to use it all at once. I'll see you then, you guys.
Sincerely,
Seishin Samayou
PS: Seo... find a new job soon... and stop flirting with my sekireis! Until then..."
Everyone chuckled nervously at the message to Seo, who is rather embarrassed. Then the girls took the check outof the envelope, they were shocked to see how much they got. Their jaws dropped to the floor and their eyes were widened.
"ONE MILLION YEN!" The three cried out.
"Thank you, Seishin!" Hibiki and Hikari cried in joy.
A loud boom was made as the camera was quickly panned down to the rooftop of a building Akitsu and Homura are fighting. Homura was catching her breath while glaring at Akitsu who remained calm though the entire fight, like she was just warming up for the real fight to begin. Homura launches another fireball, but Akitsu formed a wall of ice to block it and then she used her ice powers to fight back, causing another explosion of steam to form.
"Damn!" Homura muttered as she couldn't see through the cloud of steam. Just then she immediately saw Akitsu made a big backflip over her and counters with her ice shards. Homura tried her best to defend against Akitsu's attacks using her fire, but it overwhelmed her as well as damaging her in the process. "So that's it, now I know why you're a discarded sekirei..." She said as some blood leaked from her wounds and parts of her uniform were damaged, especially losing the mask around her mouth. "Your strength, it's too dangerous; and in my wager, it's too dangerous for someone to control."
"That may be true, as well as having some problems with my powers as well." Akitsu said.
"I see." Homura replied. "Then tell me this discarded sekirei... Sekireis with the symbols on their heads shouldn't be able to emerge. Why is it that you have an ashikabi?" Akitsu didn't say another word, though she looked down at Homura as a light breeze passed them. "What's the matter, cat got your tongue? Oh well, who cares, at least there is one other thing I have to say to you... AND, IT 'S TO PUT ON SOME DAMN UNDERWEAR ALREADY!
The light winds continue to flow as it reveals Akitsu's "lower region" to Homura and Hayato, who's watching the fight from afar using his binoculars. Thank kami Seishin's nowhere close to hear or see that happen, otherwise he would have gotten a big nosebleed like before.
"Really Hayato?" Mutsu said sarcastically. "I don't want to complain about your tastes, but come on now... You could've given her some underwear before we left."
"MY TASTES?!" Hayato cried while feeling embarassed. "Going commando was her choice, not mine!"
"Oh...I guess I forgot to put some on." Akitsu said despite not feeling embarrassed... or any emotion right now.
"How could you forget that?" Homura cried while blushing as well and pointing at her. "How could anyone forget the meaning of the word modesty!?"
"My ears are burning Kagari... or should I say Number Six: Homura." A familiar voice rang Homura's ears. As she looked behind her to see where the voice came from, she was surprised to see the Veiled Sekirei: Uzume standing above her on another platform.
"Uzume?" Homura cried. "What are you doing here?"
"Like I said, the Uzume you know is long gone!" She said and then turned to Akirsu. "Hold back, discarded number. This one's my prey."
Akitsu didn't say a word as she glared coldly at Uzume.
"Uzume, what's going on here; is someone forcing you to do this?" Homura asked.
"Listen... Uzume's gone." She said. "I am an outcast; the Veiled Sekirei!" Uzume began her attack on Homura by using her veil to tie her down. "You're coming with me, because if you don't..." Uzume jumped over her and landed behind her. "You'll die."
"Like hell if I would listen to that ultamatuim!" Homura muttered as her fire powers burned the veil trapping her, encasing her in a flaming aura. Uzume back away from it, until Akitsu started attacking her with her ice shards. Uzume immediately blocked it the second she caught wind of it.
"YOU pull back, that one's my prey." Akitsu said harshly to Uzume as she formed more ice shards around her. "My master sent me for her."
"Then I guess you're going home empty handed!" Uzume charged at Akirsu and the two girls began their fight.
Homura, on the other hand, is feeling a lot worse that she was before. She was breathing more heavily and smoke was seeping out of her skin and clothes. Not only that but her right hand began glowing bright and hotter by the second as she made a permanent hand print on the spot her hand's on.
"Not good, my power's getting out of control again." Homura thought.
"What's going on!" Hayato cried as he watched what's happening through his binoculars. "That seklrei, where did that come from; and what's wrong with the one we're trying to claim?"
"Well by the looks of things, I see she's suffering from autotoxemia." Mutsu said. "From what I know, it's a frequent occurrence among sekireis with unstable output. If it keeps up, she'll destroy herself." Homura struggled to get up, turned to MBI's tower, and growled at it.
(Intense Moment begins: Not Playing Bleach OST: Fade to Black_B13a)
Elsewhere, Seishin sensed Homura's presence from afar and that it's fading bit by bit.
"Oh, no!" Seishin cried as his eyes were wide in shock.
"What's up, Seishin?" Musubi asked him.
"It's Kagari, she's in severe trouble!" Seishin said. "We must hurry otherwise she'll die soon!"
"On it!" Musubi said as she and the girls continue to follow Seishin in a quicker pace. Seishin used flashstep, appeared upside down above Musubi.
"Hold Ku for me!" Seishin cried.
"Ok!" Musubi held on to Kusano.
Seishin continued moving faster, running and performing parkour moves over many intense rooftop platforms. In his mind are memories of the time he, Miya, Kagari, Uzume, and all of his sekirei were altogether. "Kagari... I know we may not have much in common, but you and I share one common goal." Seishin thought."...and that's to protect what we care. You helped save those who are ready to emerge with their chosen ashikabis, even Musubi and the others. For that I am eternally grateful. Now... It's my turn to protect you. I won't let any ashikabi or sekirei take you away from me... Not while I'm still here!"
"Seishin..." His hollow smirked at the burning will in his eyes.
"Hang on..." Seishin said. "We're coming to save you... KAGARI! Seishin cried out to Kagari as his roar echoed the night sky as he drew his zanpaktou. "Now, Erupt! Reddnouva!" Seishin jumped high into the sky; higher than his sekireis actually and formed a cage... well an arrow shaped cage of flames as Seishin flew up in a 45-degree angle despite the pain coming from his unstable power. He and the flames turned into a dragon as it roars made the skies tremble.
