CHAPTER 4- NEW FREINDS
Mason Izumo
1:00 P.M.
Jun and Yume got off the motorcycle and walked up To the front door of the Inn, it was not hard to find and it did stick out a little, the old fashioned way the building stood plus the extremely well kept yard made the Inn very nice to look at. Yume with her enhanced sekirei eyesight couldlve sown she saw someone fly into the building just as they were nearing the front door, but she shrugged it off, this was miyas home, as in sekirei number 1 miya, the same miya who could cut a battleship in half from several miles away, so Yume was not worried about anything concerning the inn. Jun was about to knock on the door when it suddenly opened and a man who looked VERY similar to Yumes ashikabi greeted them.
"Good afternoon, your Jun-san correct?, miya was expecting you i believe" the silver haired man said to them in a polite and gentle tone.
"Yes i met miss miya-san yesterday and we talked about getting together to talk"
Jun extended his hand in greeting to the other silver haired man
"Jun Yeager by the way, but you already knew that huh, and this is my Girlfriend Yume" He laughed nervously and extended his hand to shake.
"Yes Miya spook a good bit about you Jun-san, My names Kagari by the way, its very nice to meet you, please come in" Kagari stepped to the side to allow Jun and Yume to enter into home. As they stepped in to the Inn, an amazing smell hit jun and yumes nose and they saw Miya emerge from the kitchen obviously making food. Miya went to greet Jun, when he walked forward, Kagari turned to Yume and gave her a look, not really an untrustly worthy look, just a look that said 'i know who you are,sekirei number 8' the look was returned 'as do i number 6'.
"Welcome Jun-kun i was starting to think you didn't take my invitation seriously" Miya said with her signature sweet smile and giggle, Jun learned quickly that miya smile was something to be feared and if she giggling it meant you had done something that needed to be corrected.
"Of course not miss Miya-san, im glad you invited me in the first place"
Miya started laughing even harder. 'miss miya-san'. it was obvious jun was not very familiar with Japanese honorifics.
"well at least your not using 'sama', come, sit and have some tea, i trust kagari will join us?" Kagari had been going back upstairs when miyas demon projected in front of him forcing him back down the stairs into the living room, When he turned however Yume noticed something strange, number 6 was red, like really red, his face was flushed and he looked like he was sick, Kagari did a good job of hiding it but it was still there, that made this interaction even stranger as yume knew EXACTLY what him looking sick meant. there was only one human in this room right now...her jun-sama.
Jun and Yume took a seat in the living room with Kagari and Miya sitting across from them.
"This is my girlfriend Yume by the way miss miya-san, i don't think you met her yet"
"You mean shes your sekirei"
Jun nearly spit out the tea he was drinking.
'cough-cough' "How did you know that!?" Jun said in surprise, he knew miya was sekirei number 1 but he figured yume and miya didn't know each other and he didn't WANT them to know each other, the less people who knew he was involved in this game the better. Miya and Kagari started laughing
"Well for starters shes wearing the same uniform i wore when i was leader of the squad, and ive known yume for a while, shes was basically my student, i taught her everything i know so she could become a better leader then i ever was"
"So is Kagari-san a sekirei as well?" Jun said as he positioned himself, if everybody knew who every one else was that would make this conversation allot easier, secrets were rarely a good thing so it felt like a massive weight had been taken off juns shoulders.
"Yes Jun-san im number 6, the fire sekirei, and i watched your battle today with those mercenary's and sekirei earlier today"
"Oh you saw that huh, w-well we were attacked and i couldn't let anything happen to yume so...you know, But anyway your the 'fire sekirei' so can you like shoot fire from your hands and mouth?"
Kagari snapped his figures and a flame appeared in his hands, he chuckled at Juns child like wonder with his powers, Yume found it amusing as well, Jun had this way of making everyone around him at ease, he may act like a man, but he was still a boy, 23 years old is still VERY young and you could see despite the hard life, he still had his boyish charm, and man did he have charm, the way he was just so laid back and easy going made being around him an absolute pleasure.
"Well im sure Yume told you about me being 'number 1', now that we have everything out there its time to get to business" Miya said as she straightened herself and took a serious face, the rest of the guests did as well when they saw miya get serious.
"Ive been wondering exactly what you wanted to talk with me about miss miya-san"
"Jun-kun...your the ashikabi of Karasuba yes?"
"Yes i am, why?"
"I like you Jun-kun, so does kagari, but me and karasuba have...an uneasy relationship to say the least"
Jun leaned back in his seat, he wanted miya and kagari as friends, they could be powerful allies especially if he told them about his plan to destroy MBI, but if the two most powerful sekirei were at odds with each other it could throw the whole thing apart. Still, karasuba WAS his sekirei, miya was not.
"Listen Miya, im not going to be playing this insane game, well for now i will, but when the time comes im going to destroy MBI and especially hirito minaka, im gonna need every asset i can to do that, and with karasuba being one of the most powerful sekirei, shes crucial in our fight against MBI, we need her, and besides she IS my sekirei, and i do LOVE her"
"You are aware of her reputation aren't you?" Miya asked as she took another sip of tea.
"Yes i am, you don't know her like i do, shes changed miya"
"I find that hard to believe"
"its true miya-sama, ive known karasuba for a very long time, im her only friend and up until a few days ago i would have agreed with you, but not now, jun-samas right, HE brought karasubas light out, i saw it with my own eyes"
Miyas face turned to one of pondering as she considered what she was being told.
"Im sorry, But ive known her for a long time as well, and not once has she changed, she may have a soft spot for YOU, jun-kun, but she wont offer the same kindness to anyone else"
Juns got up out of his seat.
"Im sorry as well miss Miya-san, i cant just sit here and listen to someone bad mouth my sekirei .especially because i love her. if you cant set aside your anger towards her for the greater good of your species then your the one with the problem, not karasuba"
Kagari looked visibly upset when jun got up to leave, like he was watching something very important to him walk away forever.
Just as Jun and Yume were about to turn and leave Miya got up as well and put her hand on juns shoulder and he stopped.
"You...you really love her jun-kun?" Miya said as she turned him around to face her
"i REALLY love karasuba"
"yume you said karasuba got her light?"
"Yes miya-sama, the first night we were with jun-kun when she kissed him, her usually pitch black wings had been glowing with a white outline, karasuba LOVES jun-sama, and miya-sama, that's coming from ME, the sekirei of love"
"Very well, ill meet with her when the times right and well settle things, peacefully"
Jun leaned down and took miyas hand and kissed it gently
"Thank you miss miya-san, i promise i wont let you down, together well free your race from this horrible game"
"Is that the only reason why your so willing to destroy hirito minaka?"
Jun looked away, like he was ashamed of something
"its...its complicated, hes responsible for things i cant even begin to describe, ive wanted revenge against that monster for the longest time, i never thought i ever could, because of his power, but now that i have my amazing sekirei im ready to finally put that bastard down for good"
Kagari stepped in and took Jun hands in his
"I understand your anger with him Jun-san, Ive also wanted revenge against that man for what hes done to my race and my body, its good to finally find someone whos so able and willing to act as i am"
"What did he do to you Kagari ?"
"Its a long story and im sure ill tell you in time, but let just say that im much more 'unstable' then most sekirei, like i can barley control my own powers"
"Jesus christ..."
Kagari, still holding juns hands, was leaning in closer and closer to him, the two mens faces only inches apart when someone came through the front door, Jun and Kagari were suddenly aware what they were doing, and pulled away from each other.
"Ah, welcome home uzume"
MBI TOWER
2:00 P.M.
After the bodies from that ambush were taken care of karasuba was ready to return to the tower to get her and yumes few things, they were no longer a part of the discipline squad , so she needed to get their things out of the building before the real game started, once the real game started the tower would be off limits to all sekirei and she still had all her access to the tower. After she had MBI officers move Yume and hers few things to Juns apartment she was told by a VERY nervous intern that the director wanted to speak to her. 'what does that monkey want this time', she made her way into the elevator and up to his office, on her way up she spotted natsuo, benitsubasa and haihane, the ashikabi and two current members of the discipline squad, when she was apart of the squad she and yume refused to be winged by natsuo, yume because he was not her ashikabi and because she did NOT like him, yume was a genuine sekirei and she wouldn't be winged someone as 'slimy' as natsuo, karasuba didn't because she also didn't like natsuo, she didn't like any humans though, no, the real reason was because he was not her real ashikabi, and as much as she said she didn't care who her ashikabi was, it was all a ruse she had convinced herself that she didn't care, but she was still a sekirei and deep down she knew the truth.
Besides natsuo was gay, and she rather enjoyed her 'fun' time with jun-kun, her thoughts always found their way back to her ashikabi, it didn't matter what the situation was, it was always just HIM, her sweet little jun-kun.
Natsuo spotted Karasuba and walked over to her with the other two in toe, Karasuba hated the way he just walked around like he was something special, like he was something to be feared, no, like SHE was NOT something to be feared, oh how wrong he was.
"Ah come to say hello karasuba-chan, i gotta say i felt bad when i found out you and yume found someone other than me, i should meet young Jun Yeager, we could swap stories about you"
"Hello Karasuba-sensei, its good to see you again" Haihane said with a respectful bow, more fear then respect actually, Karasuba always did like Haihane, well as much as karasuba could like someone, hihane was just about the only other sekirei besides yume that she didn't treat with absolutely no respect, she liked her enough to train her on a regular basis, it was why haihane added 'sensei' to her greeting, benitsibasa was different however, she would always give karasuba lip any chance she got and her sicking devotion to that snake natsuo made karasuba want too cut her hands off.
"If you add 'chan' to my name again little man im going to throw you out of the top floor of this building, and hello haihane its good to see you again as well" Karasuba said as she turned around to confront them.
"As harsh as ever Karasuba, what are you doing here anyway?"
"Getting the few things i need, and finishing my business with the head monkey"
"I trust your Jun-kun is treating you well, not as well as i could have, from what i here hes not exactly rich"
"please keep talking natsuo-kun, your making that upcoming hundred floor fall all the more enjoyable for me"
Natsuo laughed and walked on, suddenly in a hurry to get away from the insane sekirei as fast as he could, no such luck however, as he had hit a nerve and she was already standing in front of him.
"Going so soon natsuo-kun?, cant you give your old comrade a hug for old times sake?"
"v-very well k-karasuba"
Natsuo leaned in nervously and slowly to the much taller women, karasuba simply pulled him in and held him in a surprisingly nice hug before leaning down to the shorter mans ear and whispering-
"Mention my ashikabis name again and you wont have a tongue to speak it with, and if you stop me while im walking again ill cut your balls off, okay love?"
"o-okay karasuba, n-no problem"
"Good boy"
Karasuba let natsuo go and continued to the directors office, before she got too far however she turned to haihane and said-
"Haihane, i trust you remember everything i taught you and your training well?"
"yes karasuba-sensei"
"Good girl, now that im part of the plan well have to come into contact sooner or latter, i expect a good fight out of you with everything i taught you under your belt, don't disappoint me"
"i wont karasuba-sensei, though i hope we never have to come to that"
"well see girls, well see" karasuba said as she walked away, knowing full well that by the time this plan was over she would be on top of a burning MBI tower the corpses of all under their leash dead at her feet, only a little while ago was it her on the end of their leash, but not any more, this dog of war was free... and it was hungry for revenge
MBI TOP FLOOR, HIRITO MINAKAS OFFICE
2:30 P.M.
Karasuba entered the office walking right past the secretary, she was not going to wait till he was 'ready' for her, she had things to do and this was a waste of time in the first place. Minika swung around in his big swivel chair like a little child would, but when he saw karasuba his face dropped and he went totally serious.
"Good afternoon my dear, what brings you to my humble residence"
"Yes because calling me your dear has always worked out so well for you in the past minaka, and YOU called me up here you deranged man-child" karasuba said as she sat down on the corner of his big desk.
"There are things we need to discuss, follow me"
Minaka got out of his chair and went onto the large platform over looking the entire city, the one he loved to sit atop of and rant about 'wings' and 'destiny' and other nonsense karasuba found sickening.
"Whats this about monkey, you know i have an ashikabi now and you know im not part of the squad anymore"
"Thats exactly what i wanted to talk with you about, how would like your position back as HEAD of a new team, one bigger and better than ever before"
"Not interested, i have more to live for now than being a part of some stupid 'team' minaka" Karasuba said as she crossed her arms over chest, suspecting their were more to this monkeys words then he led on.
"Oh you mean that sweet ashikabi of yours, since when does the 'black sekirei' care for an ashikabi, a HUMAN, thats not the sekirei i remember from the good ol' kamakura island days" Minaka teased as he sat down on the edge of the building
"If you want i can show you just how similar i am to the me from the 'good old days'" Karasuba said as she put her hand lazily on her sword hilt.
"no need for that karasuba, im just wondering if your precious jun-kun is all you think he is, if he really feels the same about you that you do for him"
"Spit it out already minaka, your trying my patience"
"Your little jun-kun is with Miya Asama as we speak" minaka said with a little smile on his face.
"What are you talking about" Karasuba took a little step back as if the words hit her in the gut.
"yup, turns out he and yume went their for tea and good conversation, their probably talking about you as we speak, in fact id bet miyas telling jun ALL about your little history of violence"
"Your lying" Karasuba said as she regained her composure and took a few steps foward.
"am i?" Minaka threw a few pictures of Yume and Jun entering Miyas home just about an hour and a half ago. Karasuba was speechless, she felt like she couldn't breathe, her jun-kun was...what was he doing with MIYA!?"
"HOW DID YOU GET THESE!" Karasuba was on top of him and holding minaka over the edge of the building by his throat faster than the directors eyes could follow.
"a-an ag...ent too...k them 'cough' ju...st a fe...w ho...urs ag...o."
Karasuba could have snapped his neck with her thumb, WITH HER PINKIE, she should have dropped him into oblivion, she could have cut him IN HALF...she could have killed him...but she didn't, she was too angry and confused to even think clearly, so she threw the director across the platform into the windows and jumped off the top of the building into the streets below.
Karasuba didn't care about breaking the fall, she just jumped off the top and landed directly on the ground feet first...after a hundred plus floor fall...she didn't even feel it...she was so angry and confused that all she could think off was finding that monkey and tearing him limb from limb.
MASON IZUMO
3:00 P.M.
"Well it was fun miya but i gotta get back, karasuba is waiting and i wanted to make a nice dinner for her and yume" Jun said as they exited the Inn, Yume behind him
"Of course, Jun-kun, thank you for visiting my inn and remember what we talked about, and please if you EVER need a place to stay, don't hesitate to come straight here, ill keep you safe" Miya said as she gave jun a big hug and a little kiss on the cheek.
"For sure Miss Miya-san, thank you for everything" Jun returned the hug.
"It was good to see you again yume-chan, please look after yourself and young Jun-kun"
"I will Miya-sensei, i look forward to seeing you soon" Yume said as she gave Miya a hug
"Likewise dear"Miya said as Kagari and Uzume came up next to her. Kagari inched closer to Jun as he was saying his good byes to miya and uzume.
"uhm i-it was nice to meet you Jun-san" Kagaris face was red but he knew how to hide it
"Same here bro, keep it clean at that host club dude, you don't wanna end up with something haha" Jun went to shake Kagaris hand, but kagari avoided the handshake and went for a hug instead, he knew it was a little too obvious but he didn't care, being close to Jun-san like this was the greatest feeling ever, he was such a lovable person and his body was so warm that he couldn't resist the contact, Jun returned the hug and left with yume.
"MAN!, he looks JUST like you Kagari!" Uzume said in her teasing way."
"s-shut up uzume you don't know what your talking about"
"oh?, i don't huh, well why is your face all red and why the hug hmmm?, you were an inch away from grabbing his ass too!"
"N-NO I WAS NOT! YOUR CRAZY!" Kagaris hands lit up in fire and uzume ran into the inn.
"Now Kagari no violence in my inn remember" Miya said as a Demon appeared behind her.
"o-of course miya, its just..."
"i know sweetheart, you don't have to explain anything to me, lets get you inside and prepare a nice bath for you to cool off in, seeing him in person must have been some little experience huh?"
"y-yeah, hes so...amazing in person miya, so worldly, so laid back and so..."
"...easy to talk too, i know kagari i feel the same way, i may not be reacting to him, but i can see why you would be, hes gonna make a great ashikabi for you, you two have allot in common, he understands your suffering as hes had to go through similar experiences as you have."
"but...how do i...you know...approach him, were both guys and yet i feel myself getting turned on just being around him, i mean will he even like me, you know...down there?"
"i wouldn't worry about THAT yet honey, first you need to wing him and get to know him, that will come later, it will take longer because your both men, but allow him to warm up to the idea and i promise THAT will happen"
"o-ok miya, thank you for everything"
"of course sweetie now come on, you need to relax after getting so...excited"
STREETS OF SHINTO TEITO
3:20 P.M.
Jun and Yume rode back to the apartment together laughing and joking the whole time, Yume found Juns sense of humor rather...dark, but after she lightened up a little she found her self needing to stop the bike just to breathe, he was so funny and so laid back and so unlike any human shed ever met, especially soldiers, yume knew soldiers well after all she had fought against them an innumerable amount of times, so she knew how they acted how they thought, how they reacted and even their usual personality's, and her ashikabi was Nothing like the troops she would fight against in her discipline squad days. Those were bad memories, the killing she always hated the most and remembering those poor soldiers who never had a chance against her and karasuba brought back feelings she rather keep buried, most of them were no older than jun, actually most of them were YOUNGER than her ashikabi and he was only 23 for gods sake, they were kids! 18-21 years old was the standard age for soldiers, Jun could have been one of those soldiers, she quickly pushed that thought aside and continued their laughing spree until they were cut off by a gang of sekirei standing in the middle of the street blocking their path.
"Well well well what do we have here, a couple in desperate love, oh how i love to ruin these sickening little duos!" The obvious leader of the group said. the other sekirei broke out in laughter and circled yume and jun.
"What do you want from me and my ashikabi!?" Yume said angrily as she and jun took a combat position back to back. 'fuck!, this is not good, i don't have my exo suit on me, i took it off before we went to miyas!, damn it! all i have are my butterfly knives, a single grenade and my two handguns but that wont do me much good if i don't have the speed and strength of a sekirei!' Jun thought as he pulled his two 45s from his jacket
"Well if you must know this is my masters 'hunting night', where he goes out to eliminate competition and gain more sekirei for his collection" The leader said, she was wearing a yellow track suit and had a whip in her hand.
"collection?, this guy sounds like a fucking asshole if he refers to his sekirei as his 'collection' "
"DONT TALK ABOUT OUR MASTER THAT WAY YOU WEAKLING!"
One sekirei tried to attack but she went too early with out the help of her friends and she was quickly thrown back from a blast of yumes light. Yume then grabbed Jun and tried to jump into the air but was knocked down by the leaders whip.
"STAY DOWN GIRL, now come nicely to our master and we promise well kill your ashikabi quickly and painlessly!"
That was the last straw for yume, she unleashed two massive balls of supercharged light at two of the sekirei, they exploded into dust as soon as the light made contact with their bodies, another four attacked at the same time and she fought well but couldn't keep them long enough for her to get to her jun-sama, he would have to be alright for now while she dealt with these four, because as long as they were alive she couldn't get to jun, she was cut off and that scared her. she would have to unleash all her power if she wanted to get to jun-sama in time.
"YOUR MINE NOW YOU BASTARD!" The whip sekirei thrashed her weapon at Jun but he was able to dodge it and roll behind a car, he got up and fired a few rounds from his weapons, the sekirei whipped the bullets away and charged at him, throwing cars out of the way as she attacked him.
"STOP RUNNING YOU LITTLE COWARD!"
Jun jumped over another car and threw his one and only grenade under the car, it rolled under the car to the whip sekireis feet, she looked down just in time to see it go off right in her face, it didn't kill her but it seriously dazed her and threw her whip out of her hand.
Jun took this opportunity to rise up over the care and fire off his two entire magazines of pistol ammo at the unarmed and dazed whip sekirei, all the rounds found their mark and the whip sekirei was torn apart from well placed armor piercing and hollow point 45. caliber bullets. She fell over dead and Jun was given a minute to reload and prepare for the next two sekirei.
'THIS IS NOT GOOD!, that grenade was my only hope and killing only one wont be enough when both her friends get here, and with yume fighting FOUR more this is gonna go south VERY quickly, she can probably take those four but by the time she gets all of them ill be roadkill, god i wish karasuba was here!'
The two sekirei saw the body of their dead leader and charged Juns position, the first one punched where he was but Jun did a back flip on top of the car to get out of the way, the sekirei punched the ground where he was just a second ago allowing jun to aim his weapon directly at her head, just as he pulled the trigger however the second sekirei hit him off the car and into a lamp post, the bullet he fired hit the first sekireis shoulder rather than her head like he hoped it would, hurting her but not killing her.
Juns body slammed into the lamp post full force and the wind got knocked out of him, he also felt his heading ringing and blood dripping from the back of his head, he got up and rolled out of the way just in time for the first sekirei to attack, she had a shield that was sharp on the side so she could throw it and use it to defend. the shield hit the lamp post and cut it in half, Jun moved to the side and fired off four rounds all four hit the shield sekirei before the shield returned to her and she fell over dead.
Yume looked over to see that Jun had dealt with two of the three sekirei that had engaged him, she smiled her hope returning as she went back to fighting the three sekirei, she had already dealt with one but the other three were fairly powerful and wouldn't back down.
By the time Jun was re aiming his pistols to fire on the third and final sekirei, she was already on top of him, 'god these things are so fast', the sekirei had a spear and used it like a true master, she came down HARD right on Juns head, luckily his motorcycle helmet protected his head from the blow, though it looked like a normal helmet, it was actually made out of the same material high grade military helmets were, complete with a built in targeting HUD (heads up display) in the visor, though it still hurt like hell.
She then kicked him the stomach and he flew back into a car window, cracking it, if it was not for the plating on his spine his back would've been crushed. hes back HAD been crushed before during his assassin days and he had metal plating, wires and cabals to sync with power armor, and nano machines placed into his back for repair and extra support. His right hand gun had been knocked away.
Jun raised his left arm to fire his remaining handgun but the sekirei stepped on his arm, breaking it, though he didn't really feel it as the arm was artificial, it still hurt like hell but not as much if it had been a real limb, he pulled a knife from his pocket and stabbed the sekirei in her leg, she let out a cry of pain as jun pulled the knife and stabbed again and again and again until the sekirei fell, he tried to climb on top of her and cut her throat but she was way too strong and she simply lifted him up and over and threw him into another car, using her one good leg she jumped on top of him and straddled his waist, holding him down.
"Shhhhhh its okay now, just go too sleep little human, i promise it wont hurt, Shhhhh
She began to choke Jun, her hands circling his neck to snap it, but just as she was applying the last little bit of pressure...she stopped...the look in her eyes was one of hesitation like she didn't know what she was doing...she refocused and mumbled something about this being wrong but she couldn't stop because her master wouldn't like it. Jun couldn't really hear, his ears were ringing and his head was throbbing, this was it, the end, he had a knife ready to stab her in the side but she knew it was there and was holding his one good arm down, now determined to make her master happy, she was ready to kill Jun when...her head came flying off her shoulders.
Jun saw a flash of ashen hair and suddenly all the pressure on his neck was gone, he tired to push the body off him because the blood was pouring onto his helmeted face and he couldn't see, he felt like he was choking form all the blood.
Karasuba landed next to jun and left him there under the body, she would deal with him later, for now she had to deal with the other sekirei, Yume had gotten it down to two sekirei, the other two were dead and three were dead near Jun, well really one sekirei as one was too injured to fight and was being helped by the last one.
"AH! KARASUBA!, thank the maker!, i took care of two and a half of them and jun got two of them, im so happy you got that last one i don't know what i would've done if that sekirei killed our Jun-sama!"
"Oh dont worry its not these sekirei Jun should be worried about Yume"
"What do you mean?"
Karasuba didn't answer and she didn't taunt the sekirei and her injured friend, she simply lunged forward and killed the injured one, she then turned and sliced through the last sekireis weapon... then she cut off her legs... as soon as the sekirei fell to the ground Karasuba crushed her skull underneath her foot. She cleaned her sword and sheathed it, then she slowly walked over to wear Jun was...
