Planless
Disclaimer: I do not own not own Sekirei
Chapter 4:
"Claws?" The Sekirei asked.
Then the door was open.
Uzume popped her head in. "Is everything all right? I heard Minato scream."
"It was a nightmare." Minato explained.
"You heard him scream?" Matsu asked sounding confused.
"Yeah," Uzume stepped in. "He's my friend I worry."
Minato covered his eyes. As Kazehana reminded her. "Uzume, you forgot your panties again."
"Oops!" She ran back into her room before Miya saw her.
"It's not like you haven't seen it before!" Uzume shouted. "You're living with three women!"
"Let's have breakfast then I think I should show you something." Matsu said.
So after breakfast they met in her room hidden room behind the secret door.
"What's with the secret door?" Minato said sitting in the dark room filled with computers.
"I was kind of on the run from MBI so Miya let me hide her because I was friends with her husband." Matsu explained.
Minato looked at Matsu as his Sekirei gathered besides him. Uzume was also there because Matsu told her to come.
"Okay, Minato I'm going to need you to pay attention cause I'm going to tell you a lot of things."
Matsu explained to Minato about her involvement with MBI. She told him how after the explosion she and Homura managed to get control of the company, making sure not to reveal that Homura was Kagari, and how she was alerting the Sekirei that the plan was off.
"You were the tv voice!" Musubi chirped.
"Yeah, that was me." Matsu replied. "I have a recorded message for that now when a new ashikabi comes up. So I got accesses to all the satellites now except for the one tracking all the Sekirei. Which maybe for the best, if I can't get into then no one can, if no one can get into then no one can find all the Sekirei. But I do have all the record for the Sekirei. So when I put the description that you gave me... Haihane" The screen flashed an image of a pale young woman with short messy white hair wearing a tattered kimono over bandaged body,
"That's her." Minato said.
"I was afraid of that." Matsu said. "That's Haihane. The Indigo Sekirei. She was to be one of the members of the new discipline squad. She is known to be very eager to pick a fight."
"Yeah, in my dream she attacked me with these claws."
"Yeah, she may be taking her reaction to you as a challenge to fight."
"Then should she come to fight we will protect you, my love." Kazehana said pulling Minato closer.
"There was something about the dream." Minato said. "She was angry but she seemed sad and lost."
The room went silent.
Far away in the city Haihane woke up in a dumpster. Her clothes were ragged and she was hungry. Sometime after the explosion she had forgotten her card and now was scrounging for food. She had a strange dream of someone coming to save her but she knew it was just a dream and attacked her saviour. Now that she was awake living in garbage she wished she hadn't. She could dream that some one cared that she was happy and warm and not alone.
"Do you want her to be your Sekirei?" Musubi asked.
"I just can't stand to see someone alone and sad and if she's reacting to me I think I could at least help." Minato answered.
"How cute?" Kazehana said hugging him.
Musubi and Kusano joined in the hug. Musubi saying. "Minato is such a good person."
Matsu smiled. "Well none of us care if you get more Sekirei as long as you give us attention too. So if you want help on finding her I will help."
"Yeah, I guess I'll help too." Uzume added.
Matsu continued to work her computer. "I wish I could track her but even if I had accesses to the tracking satellite the members of the Disciplinary Squad are not tracked." She knew from experience. "You search the city and I'll search with the spy satellites and the city cameras I'm sure we will find her."
"There is one more thing I need to ask you." Minato said his voice growing somber. The other noticed and they settled down. " My mother was hurt in a company accident and it happened around the same time as the explosion at MBI. So I'm asking you if my mother worked for MBI?"
Matsu knew he would figure it out, Minato was actually smart he lacked confidence and that was the only reason he didn't pass the entrance exam. She pressed a single button and one of the screens flashed Takami Sahashi's file. "Yes." Matsu said. "She was the head scientist. I thought that if you didn't know I shouldn't be the one to tell you. I'm sorry."
"I will admit I knew here too." Kazehana told him. "All the single numbers know her." Kazehana avoiding adding the part of her not getting along with her. "She was one of the two scientist that treated the Sekirei like people."
"So when the accident happen..." Minato searched for the words.
"We made sure she was well taken care of." Matsu said ashamed she'd been keeping this secret. "I'm sorry-"
"Thank you." Minato said. "Thank you for doing everything you did for my mother."
"It's okay." Matsu blushed.
"You're Takami's son?" Musubi chirped.
"Yes." Minato answered confused. "Why?"
"Takami was my adjuster."
"Adjuster?"
"Yes," Kusano chirped. "She was my adjuster too."
"But is she okay?" Musubi asked worried. "I saw her when that explosion happened. I was running and I heard someone call for help. I found her under some of the celling that fell. I got her out and to an ambulance."
Minato was surprised not only did two of his Sekirei all knew his mother but it sounded like Musubi saved her life.
"Is she okay?" Kusano said looking like she was about to cry.
"She's fine." Minato reassured her. "She's just in the hospital until she gets up. I know, how about the next time my sister and me go to see her you come too?"
Kuu gave a him a nod in response. Then Musubi almost shyly. "Can I come too?"
"Yes, you can. I'm sure Yukari would love to see you I again."
Kazehana smiled she liked the idea of getting to know Minato's sister but backed off for now knowing it was probably better to let the girls have the visit to themselves since they were so close to Takami.
Then Minato turned to Matsu." Thank you for telling me all this but there is one more thing I need. Kuu is looking for someone named Shiina. He's another Sekirei."
Matsu turned to the computer and a few clicks of the buttons later she got the results she was looking for. A picture of the silver haired boy popped.
"That's Shiina!" Kuu said excitedly.
"Can you find him too?" Minato asked.
Matsu ponder this for a second. "Find two Sekirei without being able to get at the tracking Satellite. It's going to be tough but I like a challenge. I'l do it."
She gave them her plan. Kazehana and Musubi would search the city via the roof tops. Matsu herself would use any satellite she could accesses and hack into the city cameras to try and find the Sekirei. She would also ask Homura and the twin to keep an eye out for them for extra measure. In the meantime Minato would walk around the city looking himself with Kuu and Uzume making sure that he didn't get hurt should they find Haihane and she did want to fight. As they left Matsu asked Uzume to stay back for a second.
As the door closed behind her Uzume asked. "So what did you want to tell me?"
Matsu waited to a second. "HEY MINATO CAN YOU COME BACK IN HERE!"
Uzume me was startled and didn't even notice that Minato didn't come back in. "What's that for? You want me to get him back here?"
"No, I just wanted to show you something. You can go now and keep an eye in Minato."
Uzume shrugged and walked out.
Matsu got to work on the computer looking for the Sekirei little knowing that one had already been found.
The day after Minato Shiina reached the park looking for Kusano hearing the rumors of the Sekirei in the arboreta. He had arrived too late but used his powers to wither all the plants. Matsu through MBI took credit for it to help the companies standing plus paid to replace all the plants.
Shiina searched for Kusano without any clue of where she was. That's when he was spotted Mikogami and sent his Sekirei to go fetch him. So he spent the next day and a half running from them. He could have fought them but he didn't want to hurt anyone. He had thought he lost them last night but they seemed to have found him.
As he ran he bumped into a dark haired girl.
As he got up he noticed her stare back at him. "Are you all right!" She said dusting him off. "I didn't hurt you, did I?"
"Get away from him." Said a young woman with dark hair holding a large double sided blade.
Then she struck the ground with the blade and a crack formed between them.
"You could have hurt him!" The first girls shouts at her. "Pretty boys are a national treasure!"
She grabs Shiina's hands and runs off with him loosing their pursuer in the crowd. They ended up her apartment where she introduced herself as Yukari.
He felt something strange when he was near her. He believed her to be his Ashikabi and after explaining everything to her went in for a kiss but her nose started to bleed and she half fainted.
"Um?" Yukari asked trying to stop her bleeding nose. "You said you were looking, Kusano?"
"Yes, why do you want to find her?"
"She's a like my little sister to me and I hate the idea that she's out there alone."
Yukari smiled the young boy in front of her reminded her of the few good qualities in her brother. Her brother was worthless but he was loyal and would try to help, he did save her from a forest once even though he himself got lost and needed her help to get them back home as she recently recalled, he would help and that was when he was at his best. "I'm going to help you find Kusano."
She did want to help him find his little sister if not for doing it because it was the right thing to do simply to have the pretty boy spend more time with her. Since he didn't have a place to stay and people were chasing him she suggested he stay with her.
The next day they would set out to find Kusano.
The day went by pretty quietly for the most part as they couldn't find any signs of the two Sekirei. Since Kuu was young he and Uzume stopped to give her a chance to rest and get something to eat while the others continued to search.
"You didn't need to pay for my food." Uzume reminded Minato. "I do have an MBI card I don't get charged."
"I know but you've been helping us day so paying for lunch was the least I could do."
"Well if you insist." Uzume chuckled.
Minato soon regretted those words as he remembered how much Sekirei could eat and discovering how much it cost him to feed two even if one was smaller. Minato looked at a text message on his cell that his sister had sent him. The message was just telling him that she couldn't visit him at his new place since something came up. Minato put it away as long as she was safe he could wait out the visit plus he might need to come up with an excuse to explain all the attractive girl that he found clinging to him. He couldn't help wonder why all the Sekirei were all eager for him to be his Ashikabi.
"Something wrong?" Uzume asked.
"It's just I'm wondering" He asked. "Why are the Sekirei reacting to me? I'm not anyone special."
Uzume smiled at him. "I can't say every Sekirei is different. It was explained to me that Sekirei are telepathic and Ashikabi are too just a lot less. So when a Sekirei reacts to an Ashikabi it's like they can just feel what kind of person they are."
"But why did they pick me?"
"You're heart. Musubi loves that you care about her. Kazehana loves how kind and tender you are. Kuu you for being so caring. Matsu finds you fascinating and know you're a wonderful person with a lot of untapped potential."
"But why is Haihane reacting to me?"
"Not sure each Sekirei is different. Everyone loves who they love for different reasons."
"Love?"
"Winging to a lot of Sekirei is like marriage. Once they kiss it's a done deal they're bonded for ever."
"But how about if they change their mind about their Ashikabi?"
"I've never heard of it happening. I've heard of a few Sekirei reacting to someone but not acting on it and then they meet someone else and react to them. The real test would be if the Sekirei feel something when they're near their Ashikabi."
"What do you mean?"
"Remember the dream. That would be like the mind telling us there is a connection and even if you don't understand it you feel drawn to that person." Uzume leaned closer. "Your heart knows that this person is who you're meant to be with. That you love them that they will love you but you don't act on it, you just don't know why you would want to be with them, you don't understand." She moved even closer like she was telling him a secret. "Then you see them do something that shows you what kind of person they are, why you love them, what your heart knew this whole time but you just didn't see. Then you get the feeling that you can't help and kiss them bonding you two together."
"Bathroom." Kuu chirped in. "I have to use the bathroom."
"Um." Uzume laughed it off. "I'll take her."
As they left Minato had the strangest feeling. Over head the Scythe wielding Yomi chased Haihane they just jumped on to the next building as Minato looked up. It had been promised by the rich Mikogami a small fortune if someone brought him one of the members of the Disciplinary Squad but what she didn't know was that he intended to wing whoever caught her too. So Yomi chased the grim reaper Sekirei for a the fortune and challenge and they landed on a large open area behind one the buildings. Yomi had brown hair and wore a black and white dress with red highlights. She held her black and red scythe ready for the fight. What neither neither were expecting Minato to see them noticing Haihane and following them. The fight between them started fast as claws meeting scythe. Spark shot off the glistening metal weapons as they clashed. Minato arrived to see sight and to his surprise he was there and had no idea what he was doing.
Haihane caught sight of Minato, she recognize him from her dream, this distracted her enough that Yomi was able to land a blow knocking her back and giving her a cut on her head.
"You're going to Mikogami to be winged and I'm getting my money." Yomi told the dazed claw wielding Sekirei.
Yomi raised her scythe to land a blow to knock her out when was stopped. Minato grabbed her from behind his arms around her and his hand falling on her breast in a desperate attempt to get a hold of her.
"What the hell are you doing?" Yomi screamed. "Get off me you freaking pervert!"
"I'm not going to let you take her!" Minato shot back.
Haihane looked at the sight as her body began to warm. She liked the idea of her Ashikabi fighting for her, sure he wasn't too strong looking but he was willing to fight for her.
Yomi spun to shake him off and he finally fell off in front of her. As she raised the scythe again she said. "This will teach you for getting in my way!"
As the scythe fell it stopped hitting something hard with a clang.
Minato closed his eyes seeing the scythe coming towards his head he raised his hand over his head as a last ditch effort to block the scythe. He had hoped for a quick death but then he heard the clang and wondered why it hadn't hurt. Opening his eyes he saw metal claws around his head blocking the scythe from making contact. Minto could feel Haihane warm breath on his neck as the indigo Sekirei moved closer to him. Her surprisingly soft hands caressed his own.
"Haihane!" Yomi yelled at her. "What are you doing? Why are you protecting him?"
"Not sure." Haihane admitted. "I think he's my Ashikabi. Plus I think he's kinda hot."
That last comment took them for surprise, especially Minato who barely got a cute every once in a while, Yomi shrugged.
"I'll give you cute." Yomi told her. "In an stray dog kind of way but not hot." She looked him up and down, not bad not particularly exciting. She did like his hands, working on those various construction jobs since failing the exam had made his hands rougher. Yomi wouldn't lie that she did like his rough hand on her breast even as he grabbed them he was surprisingly gentle making sure not to cause her pain. She would have preferred he asked before he touched her but it still felt nice. Yomi mentally shook off the thought she had work to do and she could always have fun with him later.
"Plus to stand up to you he's got to have a lot... 'guts'." Haihane added.
"Yeah, 'gut' that's what you meant." Yomi teased. "Come to think of it let me take a quick peek."
Before anyone could react Yomi had unbuckled Minato's belt and pulled the waist of his pants towards her.
"What are you doing?" Minato yelled noticing what she was doing.
Looking down into the pants Yomi simply said. "Wow, not bad. Definitely more than I expected from a guy who looks like you."
"You're kinda of a pervert." Haihane said starting to lean over to get herself a peek.
Before anyone could do anything Yomi reached into Minato's pants.
"What are you doing?" Minato yelled.
"What?" Yomi yelled at him. "You grabbed my breasts I should be able to grab you-" Yomi paused. "Wow it's warm." Yomi wasn't sure if it was him or her that was warm.
Next thing they knew a giant white veil slammed into Yomi, wrapping around her, while a large green vine wrapped around Haihane lifting her into the air.
Minato saw Uzume still in her normal clothes of blue jeans and pink top with a yellow star in the front. Kuu was holding the potted plant she brought with her that now grew.
"We leave for two minutes," Uzume began. "and we find you like this!"
"What we're they doing with you big brother?" Kuu asked innocently.
Minato fixed his belt as he blushed. "It's not what it looks like. Kuu let her down that Haihane."
Kuu let her go and she landed on the ground. Minato was quickly at her side helping her get to her feet.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes," Haihane looked at his eyes. Her heart was beating like crazy. His eyes seemed so kind and filled with compassion. He actually cared about her. Natsuo was to be her Ashikabi but he never gave her any attention Karasuba did think they he was gay. She never cared because she didn't have a choice in Ashikabi but now she did. She knew this was the man she saw in here dream and that he was the one that came to fight for her. "Why did you come here?"
"I saw you in a dream and you looked sad and I thought I could help. I understand if you don't want to be my Sekirei but I want to help you."
Before she even knew what she was doing Haihane carefully wrapped her hand around Minato's head. "No, I think I'd like to be your Sekirei." She leaned forward allowing their lips to merge.
The grim reaper like Sekirei let go as two bright indigo colored wings of light appeared behind her.
Yomi used her scythe to cut through the veil just in time to see the winging. Her first thoughts weren't about the money she lost but that she wanted that. Sure he was unimpressive, except for one notable exception, he did seem kind and caring and willing to be a little rough for her. An uncomfortable heat coursed through her body. As they pulled part Yomi darted for the dark haired young man. Pulling him away from the other Sekirei.
Bending him over she said. "Pucker up, honey."
Kissing him a pair of bright red wing appeared behind her. As they kissed the warmth increased passing through her body washing away everything but this new pleasure.
Kuu clapped seeing the second winging thinking it just meant she got two more big sisters.
Uzume felt a sharp pain in her heart as a heat swept across her body. After the explosion at MBI she wandered the street and stumbled across a very drunk Kazehana. She got her home to the Inn where she met Miya and friends. She made herself a home. She wanted to be out in the world and was disappointed when all but the single numbers were kept from the outside world longer because Minaka but now she was free. She wanted to find her Ashikabi she wanted someone to love her.
Is that wrong? Is it wrong that I want someone one to care? I haven't asked for much. I've been happy to help Kazehana and everyone so why can't I have him. I don't even care if I have to share him. He's cute and he cares about everyone but I want him to notice me! I want him to show me he thinks of me more than just a friend.
Uzume fell to her knees as tears began to stream on her cheeks. The heat on her was becoming unbearable. She had been reacting to him after seeing him save Kuu. She could see what the others saw in him. She didn't want to get in the others way but now she had to watch two girls he barely knew get winged instead of her.
She felt alone like no one noticed her but someone did.
Minato walked towards Uzume. "Uzume? Is something wrong? You're crying."
"Oh it's nothing." Uzume tried to brush it off.
"Did you get hurt trying to help me? We'll get help."
"You care?"
"Of course I care. Why wouldn't I? You're important to me just like everyone. I couldn't stand the idea of something happening to you."
"Thank you." Uzume said smiling.
"For what?"
"For telling me what I needed to hear."
She pulled him towards her. Wrapping her arms around his neck before settling into a kiss. For the third time that day Minato saw someone he kissed for the first time sprout wings of light.
As the wings died down Uzume pulled away.
"Uzume?" Minato asked confused.
"My ashikabi." Uzume whispered back.
"Big sister!" Kuu hugged the older girls leg.
"Did she just get winged?" Haihane asked Yomi.
"Yeah." The scythe wielder answered.
"Cause I thought she was already his Sekirei."
"Whatever."
In her room Matsu was talking to Kagari when her computer beeped. Minato's picture appeared and next to him three New Sekirei."
Matsu read off the screen. "Looks like Minato found number 104 Haihane and winged her. Oh!" She said surprised. "He also winged Number 43 Yomi."
"I remember hearing something about her." Kagari said. "She was nuts and a bit of a pervert. Good luck Minato."
"And Number 10 Uzume."
"He winged Uzume? You don't think he forced her? I mean he doesn't seem like the type."
"Oh she's been reacting to him for a while."
"She told you?"
"No, I noticed. I'm the Sekirei of Wisdom remember? I noticed things. Like this morning she came running into the room after Minato screamed from his dream."
"And what?"
"When we had the rooms fixed we had more insulation put in the wall. Now they're all sound proof. I even had screamed in a room to show her the effect."
"How long until you think she figures you know?" He said impressed by Matsu's detective skills.
Actually on their way home Uzume did realize what the screaming was about. They made one quick stop to get Yomi's few thing from the hotel she'd been staying at.
As they got to the house Minato tried to figure out what he was going to tell Miya. His other Sekirei were waiting for him when he arrived and so was Miya.
"Oh my who are they?" Miya said almost cheerful.
Kagari and the twin got ready knowing a show was coming.
"Miya they are Yomi and Haihane."
"Yes, I see but who are they?"
"Uh..." He was supposed to keep the Sekirei plan as secret so he didn't know what to say.
Miya was getting bored of seeing him squirm. "Those two happen to be your new Sekirei."
He was taken aback. "Miya how-"
" The scythe and claws gave away their identity as Sekirei. My late husband work with MBI that is why Matsu hid here. I know about the Sekirei plan. I'm happy to have you and you're Sekirei here as tenants so long as you pay your rent." A sinister smile crept onto her face as a floating mask appeared behind her scaring everyone. "Now I do assume you have all someway to pay."
Yomi quickly nodded and Haihane shrugged.
Minato stepped in. "Haihane lost her card I'll help her pay rent."
"I'm sure Matsu will be happy to get you a replacement card but I am happy to hear you taking caring of the girls. What are you up to now? The Big Eater, The Adopted Child, The Public Obscenity, Hentai Glasses," She looked over the girls. Noticing Yomi staring at Minato. "The Perverted Scythe Wielder," The noticing all the dirt and tattered clothes. "The Alley Cat, and The Veil Girl."
"Yeah." Uzume admitted rubbing the crest on her back.
"That would be seven. My Minato, are you trying to start your own harem?"
"MIYA!" Minato protested.
"Ow I do like the sound of that." Kazehana said pushing against him. "My love why didn't you just say so. A harem sounds wonderful."
Yomi started to press herself against Minato. "I could get behind that too."
"What's a harem?" Musubi asked titling her head curiously.
"Well," Kazehana explained. "it's when several women serve as wives to a single, preferably, attractive man like Minato here."
"Wife!" Musubi shouted with realization. "Then I'm Minato's wife too."
She joined in on grabbing Minato no matter how much he protested. This whole show got chuckles from Matsu and Haihane. Then it was broken by Miya smacking the group with a wooden spoon.
"Ow!" Haihane aid rubbing her head before remembering her claws and making it worse. "OW!"
Miya took swift action taking the claws and the scythe from her new tenants.
"I will tell you that there is no illicit activities in public here at the Inn. There will also be no fighting so no need for these." She opened up the closet used for coat and placed the weapons inside. "If you do need them you know where they are but don't need them." To emphasis her point the mask returns.
They all quickly nodded.
"Now my dear." Miya said turning to Haihane. "It's seems like you've bee hurt and its like you've been living on the street. I'll tend to your wounds and then you can take a nice bath. But these clothes won't do. Uzume will you take her to get some new clothes later paying your card."
"Sure." Uzume smiled.
"In the mean time Hibiki you seem to be her about her size. Could you lend her some clothes until she can get some new one."
Hibiki nodded. "Sure." Before going to get some clothes from her room.
"Now Yomi follow us and I can show you your new rooms." They walked away still talking to Haihane. "Now when you get back I'll have a nice dinner waiting."
Everyone went off to do something leaving Hikari and Kagari alone.
She broke the silence. "So he winged three Sekirei today?"
"Not just that but according to Matsu within minutes." Kagari answered. "He didn't force them or anything. Actually they're always the once to kiss him."
She shrugged.
Kagari started to walk away. Matsu had informed him that Sekirei were being winged like crazy now nearly fifty percent were winged. He wished it would be simple but he knew it wasn't going to be. Then a sharp pain went through his chest, his time was running out and as the Guardian of the Unwinged he had a still a lot left to do.
