Chapter 16:

Minato woke up and went to his sister's room to wake her up. When he went to her room he found the door slightly open. He took a peek inside. He found Yukari and Shiina cuddled up together on the new bed they got after the other one broke for some reason. They were still dressed in their day clothes and Minato took it to mean that they fell asleep without bothering to change. He closed the door and let them sleep a little longer. He decided to save them some breakfast as he went to wake the others.

Breakfast was very uneventful except for Kuno and Katsuragi both tugging on Haruka to try and get his attention.

After breakfast Minato started to looked out the window it had been months since he meet Musubi which set his life on this path it was on now, the weather was turning into winter. The weather turned cold as clouds covered the sky. He smiled as he found it appropriate.

As he stood by the entrance he turned to Akitsu. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yes, I am." Akitsu said with her usual melancholy voice.

"Bye Bye." Kuu waved them goodbye.

"Keep an eye on him, snow balls." Haihane told them good bye.

"Yes, safe travels." Tsukiumi said through gritted teeth.

Minato waved them good bye as they left.

"Should we allow them to go alone?" Tsukiumi asked annoyed.

Haihane just told her, "Don't worry frosty will be there if he needs protection and unlike hammer girl she doesn't need to carry a weapon. They'll be fine."

Haihane took Kuu by the hand as they went to work on the garden. Tsukiumi stared at the door thinking.

As they walked down the road Akitsu looked at Minato. "Minato, are you sure you want to do this after everything that has happened?"

"Yes, I do." Minato smiled at her.

She liked his smile it brought feeling in her that she wasn't used to.

After he planned his date with Yashima he realized that Akitsu could use some attention too. Akitsu didn't really show any emotions and after hearing about her being a discarded number he decided to give a day which was just for the two of them, he figured that day might as well be the day since it was her night to be with him.

"So what to do you want to do?" Minato asked the ice sekirei.

"I'm not sure." She said almost sounding disappointed.

"What do you like to do?"

Akitsu was silent for a moment but finally spoke, "When I was younger there was a woman at MBI. When it got cold she would take me to this frozen pond and we would skate."

"Ice skating? My mother would sometimes take me and my sister to that in the winter. You know what I think they have a skating ring set up. We should go there."

It didn't take them long to reach the skating ring and rented a pair of skates. As they skated on the frozen water a lot of people watched them.

She held Minato's hand she noticed and asked him, "Why is everyone watching us?"

"Huh" Minato blew the hairs out of his faced embarrassed. "I'm just an average guy and you are much more. Most of them are probably thinking that you are out of my league."

Though that was certainly the case, Akitsu stood out for not only her figure and ample frame but her clothes were a bit more revealing for the temperature. Lucky for them the other Sekirei reminded her to wear panties so not to show anything she didn't mean to show.

They skated together holding hands, Minato wondered if they had met in a normal fashion would they have done something like this. He couldn't help but think that Akitsu was a natural skating maybe because of her relation to the element or maybe because it seemed to be one of her few good childhood memories. He did notice a certain calmness over take her as they skated, a look of peace came over her face.

"Do you want to get something to eat?" Minato asked.

Akitsu nodded and they went to find something to eat.

Meanwhile at the Inn Haruka had his two Sekirei tugging at him. He thought having two cute girls would be great but the feeling that he was about to be pulled apart by them made him change his mind.

Kuno let at a soft growl as she pulled on Haruka and Katsuragi gave one in returned as she tugged on him back.

"Stop!" Haruka said finally having enough.

Kuno pouted as tears filled her eyes, "But I'm your Sekirei. I'm supposed to be your girl."

"And you are." Haruka assured her. "I never planned on winging another Sekirei but it happened. I can't make Katsuragi leave."

Kuno understood that what being alone was like, she was out on the street alone,scared and hungry before she meet Haruka. She hated that time of her life and would hate to force that on anyone.

She looked at Katsuragi who had started to to rub against Haruka which promptly received a glare from Kuno.

"I don't know what I can do." Haruka told them. "I promise I'll find a way to make this work.

He got up and walked away alone to think. Kuno and Katsuragi looked at each other. They knew their actions had upset Haruka and now they sat in silence to think about it.

"Excuse me I couldn't help but over hear your problem." Kazehana said from the hall with Musubi standing besides her.

"Yes, maybe we can help." Musubi chirped.

Trading looks Kuno spoke as Katsuragi was not one for talk, "We're just having some trouble both being Haruka's sekirei."

"I see." Kazehana nodded. "You're both upset to have to share an Ashikabi."

"Yes." They both admitted.

"Why?" Musubi asked innocently. "Minato has lots of Sekirei but we really don't mind."

"Yes, Minato makes time for all of us. He loves all of us." Kazehana added. "He pays attention to all of us. He tend to each of our needs and doesn't see as items to posses or anything less than people. And I know Haruka feels the same about the two of you."

"Is that true?" Kuno asked.

Musubi nodded. "Yes, when I'm with Minato I know he loves me, I know he loves a lot of people like me but that doesn't mean he loves me any less. All it means is that Minato is able to love us all the same."

"You know it, how?" Katsuragi asked.

"it's hard to explain." Kazehana admitted. "It's just about being with him and how cares about me and how he loves me. Just trust me if you give him a chance to show you two how much he really cares, I'm sure it will work out all right." Kazehana smiled at the younger girls.

Meanwhile upstairs Yukari started to get up, she opened up the window and looked out into the garden. Haihane, Yashima and Kuu were working on the garden. Yukari could hear Yomi and and Ikki sparring by the gym. She spotted Benitsubasa in her maid outfit doing some cleaning, life there seemed peaceful.

Yukari said, "It's all so peaceful here. Minato actually made this a good place for Sekirei."

"I know." Shiina getting up told her. "I knew it the second I saw the garden. It's full of life and growing. She's not even trying that's just how it is when she's happy. That's what's great about this place, it's safe enough that she can be happy. No one is going to attack this place. Everyone saw how powerful Minato's Sekirei are during the fight at the other Inn, they terminated other Sekirei but none of them were terminated. If anyone attacked they wouldn't win. There is no need to fight and everyone has what they need."

"I guess you're right." Yukari murmured.

Elsewhere in the city as Minato and Akitsu ate they were being watched, not by strangers but by someone they knew. A blonde water Sekirei to be exact, Tsukiumi was actually spying on them. She stood on a tall building and simply watched them.

"Jealous?"

"No, of course not!" Tsukiumi answered. "Wait a moment who spoke?"

She turned to find Saki standing next to her. "Hello Tsukiumi."

"Saki, what art thou doing here?"

"Keeping an eye on Minato. I was worried somebody might try and do something to him for revenge or something so I decided to keep an eye on him but I found you watching him and Akitsu."

"I am merely doing my duty as his wife and making sure he is safe even when out with one of his concubines."

Saki laughed. "Yeah, sure that's why you're here. You haven't actually had the chance to be with Minato yet, have you?"

"No, not as such." Tsukiumi admitted.

"That's the thing you really aren't his wife if you haven't done it yet but suppose I'm one to talk. How do you imagine it will be like?"

"I do not know. It is not proper to talk of such things."

"It's just that the way that Matsu says it is really good. That we are actually lucky since Minato keep getting better better with all the practice he gets."

"No! I rather not talk of such things." Tsukiumi pleaded but that didn't stop Saki.

Down at the restaurant Minato asked Akitsu, "How did you end up becoming a discarded number?"

Akitsu was quiet, "They put limiters on Sekirei. With the first few Sekirei they hadn't perfect the process which is why the single numbers are so powerful. The Tuner I had was inexperienced and was unable to do it properly with me. I was told that I could not be winged. The Tuner was angry and upset at me for his failings. They made me an experiment to perfect the process on the others. The tuner was going to be fired except Minaka gave him time to try and fix me as he moved the date for the release of the Sekirei. For some reason Minaka wanted to release them all at once but that still wasn't enough time. My turner became so angry when he failed to meet his deadline he said he was going to kill me, he blamed me for everything. Then the explosion happened he died and I barely managed to escape..."

Minato listened appalled than anyone would be that cruel to anyone. He placed his hand on hers, "It's all right now. They were wrong because I winged you."

"Thank you for that." She gave him a minimalist smile.

Else where Seo was sent on another mission by Matsu. She found in the data that Saki and Uzume retrieved the name of the former MBI doctor that had sold information to Higa Izumi. Seo got the doctor's address and went to see if they had any information left unsold. It would be dangerous if some of that stuff got out.

Seo went to knock on their door but as he did it swung inward just a little.

Seo stepped in, "Hello, anyone here?"

He casually walked in, something in his instincts told him something was wrong. Then he saw what was wrong, the doctor had been ripped apart left in as bloody mess. Seo wasn't a homicide detective but he could tell someone took their time almost as if they enjoyed it. Trying to avoid staring at the remains he noticed that the place was torn apart but besides the computer nothing seemed to be stolen. Someone knew who this doctor was and that's why they killed them. Seo called his men to come and deal with the mess he had no stomach for. They would have to figure out who did it. His time as a mercenary taught him one thing though that hired killers left no traces that they were there but who did this didn't care so they weren't hired, they had their own reasons to kill.

As the sun began to set Minato and Akitsu returned to the Inn only a few minutes after Saki and Tsukiumi. Eventually it was time to go to bed. Uzume worked on the costume she promised for Kuu. Kuu herself crawled into bed with Yashima. Matsu worked on the disturbing information she had received from Seo's men. Benitsubasa finally got herself out of the maids outfit she had to wear so she could go to sleep.

As Haruka slipped into his futons he felt Kuno and Katsuragi cuddle up next to him, it wasn't exactly a new sensation until he realized that neither one of them had clothes on.

"What are you two doing?"

"We want to be with you?" Kuno said.

"We love you." Katsuragi said as a faint blush spread on her cheeks.

"We just want to be with you." Kuno pressed her lips against as she did her wings emerged. That kiss was quickly followed by one from Katsuragi making her wings emerge.

At another part of the Inn Akitsu waited in her bed as Minato went into the room. It was the night designated for him to sleep with her. Things felt strange when he got into bed with her, the way she acted it felt sort of distant.

"Akitsu?" Minato asked. "Is everything all right?"

"Yes." Akitsu replied in her usual cold fashion. "please do whatever you like to with my body."

"..." That took Minato for a spin. "Akitsu don't talk like that. I don't like to hear you talk like you're some sort of sex object. You have feelings so express them."

"I'm sorry that I can't express myself." She grabbed his hand and pressed it to her chest. "Feel that. It's my heart racing. You make my heart race, I might not be able to express myself well but know that you bring out emotions in me I have never known. I am grateful for that. I'm not sure what I like so I only said that because I thought that was the best thing to say."

"Akitsu... How about we find out what you like together?"

Akitsu nodded as a faint blush came to her face. Minato kissed on the lips causing her wings to emerge and for warmth to spread across her body. She moaned at his touch and pulled him closer. Minato slowly showered kisses over her body finding what she liked most. Minato started to get Akitsu to get some reactions and they were both enjoying it.

At that moment Yukari and Shiina left the Inn at the dead of the night. They had been doing it for a while and for a purpose.

They started to walk towards the other edge of the city where a fog began to roll in.

Yukari checked her map, "Matsu said there are not a lot of Sekirei left unwinged. We've checked just about everywhere else. They have to be around here somewhere."

Shiina nodded in agreement. He agreed to go along with this plan to help the Sekirei and now they were sure they were going to find them. What they didn't know is that every night someone was following them. That night they would find the last unwinged Sekirei and someone else would find them.
