Chapter 19:

The sun had set and darkness had started to fall onto Japan. A secret war was waged in the streets between Sekirei for their Ashikabi. The war was secret as was the battles, all isolated into the city. There was a slight peace held together by an unstable balance that was on the brink of toppling over.

The Sekirei Matsu was typing away at her computer trying to trace the New Game Master. Matsu was also keeping a look out for Sekirei activity, in the last few days more fights had started and Sekirei were starting to terminate each other. Matsu had noticed a pattern forming many were happening near the exits of the city. There were no rules about not leaving city since there was no official Sekirei plan but maybe someone was preventing people from leaving. That's when she got an alert on her computer telling that street cameras detected many Sekirei in one area. Pulling up the video feed from the street cameras, there wasn't much but it was enough to identify who was fighting.

"This isn't good." Matsu mumbled to herself.

Kagari was in the middle of a fight between two Sekirei as powerful as he was, he knew it would be hard to fight both of them alone especially if they went after Minato. Though he hated the idea of running away it seemed like the safer idea. Tossing two fireballs at Toyotama and Ichiya he shouted, "Run!"

Minato wasn't dumb enough not to run when Kagari pulled him away. The two fighting Sekirei were being held back by the fire but that wouldn't keep them.

Not too far away Yukari had a dagger move ever closer to her neck. The Sekirei holding the knife just teleported in front of her.

The blade glimmered in the night. The Sekirei holding the knife seemed calm in her action as if she had already contemplated taking Yukari's life. The others were in shock unsure what to do or even able to anything to prevent what would occur. It seemed like a certain end for the young woman on the cusp of life right after deciding to do what she could for others.

The dagger cut through the air a wisp of a sound following, Yukari closed her eyes preparing herself for what to come.

Tsukiumi was still blushing as she held her bag with her lingerie close to her. She was still thinking of the outfit she had gotten, she had never imagined she would ever wear something like that much less but thinks had changed since she meet Minato, she had changed. Tsukiumi thought about her tuner for a moment, the only person she had ever thought as family before, she wondered if she was doing well and what she would think of her new life.

Saki and Uzume traveled besides her content with their own purchases. As they walked down the street they got a few looks from men and from some women, they were certainly attractive and except for Uzume they were all wearing what could be considered odd clothing. The group didn't pay much attention to those who stared and continued to walk until they turned off into a corner where they planned to jump onto the roof of the building and leap their way back home.

"Hello." said a pleased voice.

They looked up to the roof to see the smiling face of Musubi.

"Musubi?" Saki asked.

"Oh good we found you." Musubi chirped.

"Yes," Ikki stuck her head over the roof to look at the others. "Matsu detected some activity and found a camera feed of some Sekirei attacking Minato. Homura is holding them off but he'll need help."

They quickly jumped onto the roof to follow others on their search for Minato.

Meanwhile that certain Ashikabi was on the run from two fighting type Sekirei. Kagari was launching more attacks on the fighter but they were either dodging the fire balls or ripping up the cement to use as shield. Though Kagari was a single number and thus a powerful he was having a hard time fighting them and protecting Minato. Kagari grabbed Minato with one arm and fired at the other Sekirei as leapt across the buildings all the while Minato trying not to scream.

Little did he know his sister was inches away from a dagger slitting her throat.

That's was when she heard a clink. A second later she opened her eyes to see why she wasn't dead. The air was still and everyone was in shock.

Yahan the teleporting Sekirei's dagger was stopped by the the sword of Mutsu.

Mutsu who was used to fighting close and he had seen this Sekirei before so unlike the others he knew what to expect and already started to make his way towards Yukari. Mutsu arrived just in to block the dagger.

Dagger versus sword isn't much of a fight so Yahan teleported back next to her Ashikabi Reiji Koya.

Getting a little more space between them the other Sekirei got ready. Kuruse pulled out her three pronged spear ready to use it. Taki started to create a light fog to give them some cover.

Mutsu raised his sword when he heard Yukari speak, "What are you doing here? It's not that I'm not grateful or anything but how are you here?"

"I've been following you the last few days." Mutsu said calmly. "I saw you leave the Inn late at night for the last few days. I wasn't certain why you were doing it but I decided to follow you to make sure you were safe."

"Well thanks." Shiina said grateful for the assistance.

"It's not like we needed a baby sitter." Yukari grumbled.

"Circumstances beg to differ." Mutsu shot back. "If I hadn't been watching you they would most likely force you to make Minato obey them."

As much as she hated to admit it he was probably right.

Talking about Minato he was in trouble at the moment. Kagari was finding it hard to leap off buildings while carrying a man and shoot fire balls at the same time so he was getting tired rather fast. That fact forced them to stop leaping about and just run for it which is where the trouble started or rather ended as they ran into a dead end.

So looking at the dead end of an alley they heard a voice call to them.

"So this is where it ends." Toyotama said to them sure in victory with Ichiya by her side.

"I really hoped to avoid this." Kagari mumbled. "But it doesn't look like I have much choice."

"What are you talking-" Minato didn't finish his sentence as Kagari kissed him on the lips.

Bright fiery wings appeared behind Kagari and the air around them began to grow hotter.

Yukari's nose began to bleed.

Taking note of this Shiina asked, "Is something wrong? Are you hurt?"

Wiping her nose Yukari answered, "No, I think something really good just happened."

If only she knew that it involved her brother. Anyway, at that moment Kagari pulled away from Minato, they gasped trying to catch their breaths.

"I wouldn't have thought the Ashikabi of the North to be into guys." Ichiya whispered to Toyotama.

"You two just shut up!" Kagari yelled at them. throwing a ball of fire at them

Toyotama deflected the attack with her staff but only by a small margin. The heat of his flames grew hotter.

Kagari glared at them, "Do you really think you have the power to take me?"

With gritted teeth the pair knew they didn't and took a step back as he approached them. Throwing a pair of fire balls at them he filled the alley with fire forcing the girls to flee, his own powers protected Minato and himself from the flames.

"Are you okay, Minato?" Kagari asked checking that he was safe.

"Yeah, I think I am." Minato blushed.

Minato didn't say anything but he was wondering if he felt Kagari's tongue during the kiss, he decided against asking him.

Yahan kissed Reiji a pair of purple wings emerged behind her. A smile appeared on her face as she pulled away. With a flash of light she vanished again. The fog was turned against them as Yahan started to pop up around them. They were quick attacks that were only foreshadowed by flashes of light. She appeared and struck quickly taking them by surprise, the Sekirei were strong and did their best to deflect the attack and even so the dagger didn't do much. Shiina saw what was happening and they both stood next to Yukari before Yahan could attack her. That wasn't their only problem.

Amebane was the male Sekirei with his ashikabi Yashiro Itsuki. Yashiro was dressed in a black dress with a rose tattoo below her neck and Amebane was wearing a thick black coat. Amebane seemed harmless but in an instant he lashed out his coat waving in the wind. His punch was blocked by Shiina who let out a groan in pain. Before Shiina could counter Amebane retreated back into the fog.

Kuruse reached out her hand and with a flash of light several tritons appeared above them impaling themselves into the ground.

"Watch out!" Himeko called out. " You almost hit me!"

"Sorry." Kuruse apologized.

With the fog it was hard to see where anyone was attacking. Amebane had it luckier as for the most part he could guess and probably hit the enemy and the same went for Yahan. At the moment they could only wait and hope they could get away.

Meanwhile Minato's Sekirei leapt towards their ashikabi hopping they could get at him before something happened. At that time they didn't know it but Minato and Kagari had started to go home. Both of them were trying not t think of the kiss but the more they tried the more they thought about it. They might have gotten home quicker but as fog started to roll in and they got lost in it.

"Wow this fog just came out of nowhere." Minato remarked.

"Yeah." Kagari admitted. "I think its the cold temperature mixing with my fire."

Then they saw figures coming from the fog. Kagari was a little hesitant to continue considering they were already attacked.

That was when they made the of a figure of an average looking young man coming from the fog. Next to him was a young woman wearing a green miko like dress and had a large bow in her hair. She was carrying a naginata, a long pole weapon with a curved blade.

"Hey," Minato greeted him.

"Hey." He greeted him. "You're an ashikabi aren't you?"

"Uh, yeah." Minato admitted.

"Were you trying to escape too."

"Escape?" Minato asked.

"Yeah, a bunch of ashikabi tried to escape the city but something attacks every ashikabi and Sekirei that tries to leave the city. But I'm guessing from the look on your face you didn't know."

"No, I didn't." He continued as other Ashikabi and Sekirei came out of the fog.

"Yeah, me and the others tried to go out all at once. It didn't work but whatever attacked us gave up on chasing us as we got into the city."

"At least you're okay,"

"I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself. I'm Oosumi Orihiko and this Kaho." Oosumi introduced himself and Kaho gave him a bow.

"I'm Takano Kouji." Said a young man with messy blonde hair in a dark blue hoodie.

"I'm Namji number 73." She was Takano's Sekirei. Namji was holding a large halbred. She wore a red top that left her back uncovered and a white cloth wrapped around her hips and long red gloves. She had grey eyes and brown hair that had long tail like strands that fell down her back.

"And I'm Tsudanuma Osamu." Said the dark haired young man with a serious expression on his face.

Next to him stood a young blonde woman wearing dark capri jeans, knee length white boots and short sleeved top exposing her belly. She was also wearing a band on her forehead with the sekirei crest on it. "I''m number 74 Narashino.

"H-hi I'm Kunimitsue Hiroyuki." Said a timid looking young man with messy brown hair wearing a simple polo shirt and jeans.

Next to him stood a young woman that seemed to glow with optimism. "Hello I am number 82 Hari." She could pass off easily as normal girl though one with larger bust. She had her brown hair in small pony tail held by a cute bow. She had on a white skirt and a red and black top that showed off her shoulders.

"And I'm Mutou." He was an average youth with messy black hair and black clothing to match.

Unlike the others he had two sekirei by him.

"I'm Nina. Number 27." Nina spoke softly. She wore and elegant blue and white dress and black gloves that went with her long blonde hair.

"And I'm Mimi." The second Sekirei chirped. She wore a small black top,boots, bloomers and long gloves and that was about it. She had short messy hair.

Seeing as everyone had introduced himself Minato decided to the same, "Nice to meet you I'm Minato Sahashi."

The mood changed in an instant right then. Kagari tried to help. "I'm number Six-"

"Wait! You're the Ashikabi of the North?!" Was all the Ashikabi and Sekirei that interrupted Kagari had.

"Yeah?" Minato said confused.

Kunimitsue started, "Uh, is it true that you run an Inn where Ashikabi can move into with their Sekirei and be safe?"

"Yeah, you guys need a place?" Minato said not getting the full weight of the situation.

"Yes." Tsudanuma explained. "The Ashikabi of the East has been attacking ashikabi and Sekirei that don't fight with him."

"Yes," Oosumi added. "It's been getting quiet hard to fight back. He does have numbers. Many ashikabi are out hiding. So some of us tried to make a run for it but that didn't end up well."

"Well sure if you need a place you guys can come to my Inn. We have a lot of powerful Sekirei there so no one will attack."

Saying those words was almost like a godsend to those ashikabi but that didn't last as something hit the ground sending dust everywhere, the blast was enough to toss everyone around. As thing cleared a little Kagari opened his eyes he spotted Toyotama holding Minato.

Ichiya was the first to speak, "Did you really think that was the end off us?"

They waited just long enough for Kagari's powers to return to their normal state.
