Chapter 20:

It didn't look good at all. Toyotama was holding Minato, she had her staff pressed up to his neck. Ichiya was next to her ready to fight off anyone who dared try to put up a fight. The fire Sekirei is probably the only one that could match either of them with power but he wouldn't risk them harming Minato. The other Sekirei are hesitant, they had wanted to leave simply cause they wanted to avoid the fighting. The two fighting Sekirei eyes fell on one who is a little different, Kaho.

Kaho's eyes were steady, she seems like the only one willing to fight. Toyotama tightened her grip on Minato. Still Kaho holds her weapon ready but hesitates to use it, she knows her Ashikabi would not want to risk Mikado.

"We'll just leave now." Ichiya told them coldly. "Our Ashikabi wants him in one piece." She stroked Minato's face softly. "I would hate to hurt this pretty face."

She probably shouldn't have said that because the next thing she knows a tidal come out no where slamming her into wall.

Shaking off the attack she sees Tsukiumi glaring at her with rage filled eyes. Lucky for those involved Minato's other sekirei arrived just in time.

"Stay back-" Toyotama started but didn't get to finish.

The next thing she knew there was a glint of metal and her staff was cut into slices. Standing before her was Ikki with her sword out already.

"Ikki!" Minato shouted relieved.

But before he could act he felt her lips on his and a familiar sensation of feeling her body heat up as her wings emerged. Ikki pulled away smiling and held her up her swords with a determined look in her eyes. Ichiya jumped out and prepared for a fight.

Ikki turned to her enemies. "You dare attack my ashikabi! You dare attack Minato! You dare attack my husband!"

"Wait what?!" Tsukiumi asked.

Ikki didn't answer as she slashed her sword at the pair of fighting Sekirei the force went through the air slashing their clothes, the force shoving them back. The force of her slashes had left the ground ripped up.

Ikki said coldly, "Run! Run while you still can."

Minato's other Sekirei had gathered already and Toyotama and Ichiya looked at each other. They might have been able to hold off Kagari when they caught him by surprise but they couldn't fight all of them. Being unable to do anything they leapt away as fast as they could.

"That was amazing!" Musubi cheered having arrived just after Ikki.

"Husband?" Minato a little taken aback.

"H-husband?" Tsukiumi also said with her jaw on the floor.

"Yeah, it looks like you have some competition there." Uzume teased.

"What's wrong with Musubi?" Saki brought up.

Kaho and Musubi had each others stare and now prepared to fight.

"Number 88" Kaho greeted Musubi.

"Number 87." Musubi greeted with a smile.

"Are you guys about to fight?" Kagari interrupted.

"Yes." Musubi said eager.

"Can you not?" Minato asked. "These are our new guests."

"Kaho! You're moving in?" Musubi grabbed Kaho and gave her a hug.

Kaho only responded with a soft smile.

"I'm guessing you two know each other?" Minato asked.

"Number 87 and 88 both grew up together." Oosumi started. "They were actually both-"

His words were interrupted by a loud crash was heard nearby.

Moments ago the fight between Sekirei deep in the fog continued. The fight was after two simple goals to retrieve the last few unwinged Sekirei and to retrieve Yukari.

The sad fact about the situation was that she had only left herself open like this because she tried to help them and she wanted to help people but didn't want to ask for help.

She was regretting that at the moment. The truth is that everyone is weak when they are alone and only together are we truly strong. Yukari was depending on Shiina's power to protect her but Shiina depended on her to bring out his true strength. The fact that people do depend on people was now sinking in. Right now she knew she had to depend on her strength and Shiina's strength.

Shiina wanted to help but felt useless, "I can't see where to attack. I might hit someone else if I attack blindly. I can widen my attack but I'm sure to hit everyone though even those we are trying to help."

"You can't just use it so it's not strong enough to do any lasting damage?"

"No, my power degrades life. It really only has that one strength level." Trying to sound certain he told her, "Don't worry I'll protect you."

"Don't worry I'll protect you." Yukari smiled back at him.

The moment have not have been so sweet if they were both not in imminent danger. It didn't help that the two male sekirei and the female Sekirei had been separated from the other Sekirei.

There were slight movements in the fog. They didn't know if it was friend or foe, they could attack but they'd have to take that risk. Yukari was always the more aggressive sibling in her family and she wanted to attack but didn't tell Shiina to do it because the risk was simply too much. The best they could do was prepare for a flash of light in case Yahan teleported near.

"There is something I could do." Mutsu spoke up.

"Yeah, that would be great." Yukari told him. "Why don't you do it?"

"I will then." Mutsu said calmly.

The next thing they knew Mutsu took Yukari in his arms and kissed her. The reasoning behind this was rather simple and I don't even think I have to explain it but I will: Mutsu was reacting to Yukari. Mutsu did prefer the idea of having a young pretty female ashikabi which admittedly seemed to be few of. Yukari possessed an inner strength that appealed to him. That was the reason he watched over her all those nights she and Shiina left out. Kazehana would be more than eager to point out that was the same thing she did with Minato just to annoy him a little. The problem with this winging was that as his bright wings emerged behind him they gave away his position. Both Yahan and Amebane ran towards him.

Yukari was more than a little stunned by the kiss so she barely noticed the two Sekirei racing towards her. At the last moment Mutsu struck the ground with his sword jumping off as he did taking Yukari with him. Shiina who Mutsu was now linked to through Yukari jumped off at the same moment which was good because of Mutsu's attack the shattered the ground cracking the earth and sending rocks towards the attacking Sekirei. Yahan and Amebane didn't have time to react as rocks hit them and the ground below them caved in. Mutsu and Shiina landed on the ground safely.

"Is it over?" Yukari asked.

Anyone who has ever seen a horror movie knows never to say that.

With a burst of light Yahan teleported back to ground level. With another loud crack the ground is ripped apart as Amebane jumps to through the cemented ground. Amebane had his coat ripped up as he jumped out of the whole revealing a his well muscled body. Both Yahan and Amebane seemed hurt but they also both looked ready to go a few more rounds.

"Yukari!" They all heard call out.

Yukari recognized the voice as belonging to her useless brother who now only showed up after they had started to turn the tables. But the thing about turning the tables it means that that they can be turned back.

Yashiro spotted Minato as well, "That is the Ashikabi of the North, isn't?"

"Higa wanted leverage on him." Reiji commented. "Getting him would count, wouldn't it? Yahan if you would."

Yahan teleported right next to Minato and as she went to grab him but she found herself getting punched in her face. That was a shock to everyone especially seeing that Saki was the one to do it.

"Nice punch." Uzume stunned told her.

Saki had seen Yahan and what she could do earlier so she was ready for it. She wasn't going to let anyone hurt Minato.

Saki went over to Minato her cheeks flushed, "Minato," her voice sweet as she spoke, "you've done so much to try and protect all of us. But this time I want to be the one to protect you."

She pressed her lips to his and her wings emerged behind her.

Yahan wasn't going to take the punch lying down she rushed at the Saki with her dagger. Before anything could happen Saki blocked it by pulling out her sword Thanks to the kiss Saki was at the height of her power and speed but the battle and time had caused Yahan to lose some of her strength as she grew tired. Yahan knew she wouldn't be able to teleport as fast or as often now but she still had a fog to work with. She teleported within the fog, she wouldn't be able to attack Minato again as the other Sekirei with him were on alert but Saki still followed her into the fog and Yahan planned on getting her back for the punch.

Yahan held her dagger ready to attack but then she felt a sharp pain on her arm.

"What?!" Yahan yelped.

She never saw her attacker but her arm was bleeding.

"You didn't see me." Saki's voice came from the fog. "I was trained to be a spy for MBI. They gave me the sword because I'm not too strong physically. I've always been smart through. I learned how to hide in plain sight thanks to my training. I can attack while hiding and this fog is a perfect place to hide in."

Suddenly another fresh cut appeared on her other arm. She didn't see Saki attack her it was almost like a ghost did it.

"Yahan!" Reiji called. "Let's go there is nothing to be gained here anymore."

The fog was clearing enough to see Minato's other Sekirei and the other Ashikabi that had gathered. Thought Yahan would love nothing more than to attack Saki she didn't think she would be able to win in her current condition.

"Until next time." Yahan teleported next to her ashikabi.

Together with Yashiro and Amebane they retreated into the shadows. Uzume pulled out her veils and using them as as a giant fans blew away the fog.

"Cowards!" Tsukiumi growled fleeing rather than staying to fight honorably."

"Yeah,are you sure that's your that's what you're upset about?" Uzume asked pointing to Saki.

Saki at the moment was twirling mumbling in delight now that the fight was over, "Yes, I got to kiss Minato again. And I got to fight for him."

Tsukiumi was fuming so yeah it wasn't just because they ran away.

"Yukari, what happened?" Minato continued where he left off.

"Nothing." Yukari quickly said pulling off Mutsu's arm from her.

"What do you mean nothing?" Shiina asked. "we found the last four unwinged Sekirei and convinced them to come to the Inn for safety."

Musubi had already gone to the unwinged Sekirei and was introducing herself happily.

"That's great. I found some Ashikabi that needed place to stay." Minato told them.

Oosumi waved at them hearing Minato talk about them.

Yukari was a bit surprised as it seemed her idiot brother had somehow managed to help more people without trying. Considering what she had gone through.

"I winged Mutsu." That was Yukari's flat response.

It was weird. They called Matsu telling her and the others to get the other rooms ready for their new guests. Lucky thing was that when they designed the Inn they planned for a lot of people. Being two stories and taking up an entire city block helped too. It had been a long day for everyone. Matsu registered the new Sekirei into her computer and took their weapons. Kaho didn't want to give up her weapon but Kagari eventually convinced her to give up the weapon.

Meanwhile Tsukiumi held her bag with her lingerie as she saw Minato wishing good night to Yukari. The water Sekirei was about to say something when Saki went to Minato holding her bag.

"Uh, Minato." Saki said sweetly. "I got something special to show you. You know for our special night. Tonight is my night to have you to myself."

"Oh right." Minato remarked blushing a little.

She grabbed his hand and pulled her towards her room.

Tsukiumi was standing watching that happen and Uzume was surprised.

The veil Sekirei said, "Well, didn't see that coming. That girl is sneaky."

Tsukiumi was fuming again.

That day had caused a lot of trouble for Yukari but that night she found herself sleeping between Shiina and Mutsu. She was in between a pretty boy and a dark and mysterious guy who both liked her the realization caused her nose to bleed again. A grin appeared on her face as she went to sleep.

Meanwhile Minato was on Saki's four poster bed, Her entire room certainly had a girls room feel to it. She had a shelf full of girly fantasy novels and even a few shoujo manga. That was when Saki came out wearing her new revealing pink lingerie.

"So what do you think?" Saki asked blushing a little.

Minato smiled, "You look beautiful."

She giggled, "Thank you." She climbed into bed with Minato and wrapped her arms around him.

Minato kissed her causing her wings to emerged the second time that day, "Thank you for everything Saki. You were amazing."

"No, no, no. You are amazing. You work so hard to take care of all of us. When I first saw you I thought you were this wonderful knight in shining armor. My heart raced whenever I saw you. Minato, I love you, you are my prince charming."

Minato smiled at her kissing her again, " I love you too my princess."

Saki was delighted to hear him call her his princess.

The continued to kiss as they fell onto the bed and started to take off their clothes as they shared their first night together.

The Inn was peaceful but the world wasn't. Higa hearing that they failed to capture the last four Sekirei was upset and hearing that more Ashikabi were now in the Inn. He started to make news also spread to the other two major Ashikabi. Like it was said: the city was in a careful balance. Now the balance had been disrupted. That was what the Game Master had hopped for, something to forced them to fight each other.
