SEKIREI-FANFICTION CHAPTER 9

WARPATH

JUNS APARTMENT 11:00

The first order of business was to secure the apartment, instead of moving to a new hidden location it was decided to just turn Juns well known apartment into a fortress, while most of these defenses you couldn't actually see, they were there, and with the sum total of their defenses they could hold off an ARMY for at least three months, food, water, ammunition, sensors, mounted unmanned turrets, booby traps, hidden passageways, point defense positions, and even a mine field that extended out about 300 yards and could be detonated remotely, and as a last resort the whole place was rigged with a bomb that was basically one step under a small nuclear device, a MOAB, the largest bomb short of anything nuclear, Jun had gotten it from the Russians after the soviet union fell.

1991 was a great time for Mercenary's, one of the largest and most powerful military's EVER was up for sale after the fall of the soviet empire, tanks, jets, guns, missiles, submarines, battleships, EVERYTHING was up for grabs and everyone from two-bit cheap thugs to the most elite soldiers on earth flew to Russia in droves to buy everything they could, Jun was only a child then but his master brought him along to show him the inns and outs of buying weapons, they didn't go for the stuff everyone else was going for though, his master had connections in the highest places so instead of raiding gun warehouses they got first dibs on secret/experimental Russian facilities, basically the area-51s of Russia, and all the insane tech that was stored there, experimental exo suits, laser guns, rail guns, plasma guns, digital battle tech, unmanned drones...all of it for the taking if you knew the right people, after all this was right after the biggest empire on earth fell, so everybody was looking for a piece of the pie.

Almost all of juns arsenal was from post and pre soviet Russia, and although it was old gear it didn't matter, that was the amazing thing about Russian weapons and the reason Jun prefer'd them over anything else, they lasted FOREVER. What was good back in 1991 was still just as good today, that's how the Russians build their weapons, reliable, sturdy, easy to repair, SIMPLE yet effective killing machines, so his exo suit may be from the 90s but its still just as good as anything the modern troops are wearing.

After the apartment had been turned into a fortress Jun and his sekirei went to work on preparing THEMSELVES for the upcoming war, before they even started gathering allies they would make sure there little group could handle themselves better than anything anyone could throw at them.

Jun and Karasuba began training just as karasuba said they would, with her teaching him how to fight a sekirei properly. No exo suits, no guns, not even a switchblade, just his bare hands, he would learn how to compensate for his human body. Then they would add on everything else piece by piece, hands to knives to swords to guns to lasers, piece by piece until he was the perfect warrior.

Jun however was NOT a normal human, he was a super soldier, his body had been genetically altered and upgraded to make him the ultimate human weapon, his muscles were reinforced with every fiber known to man, allowing him to be hit by a speeding FREIGHT TRAIN and survive, his brain was supercharged with 10,000 times the electrons and synapse to allow him to think 10 times faster than the average person, his body was striped down and modified to make him as efficient as possible, for example he only ate once in a while but when he did 97 percent of the food was converted into muscle rather than fat or waste, this meant he only had to go to the bathroom once every few months, because his body was designed to make sure anything that entered it was broken down into something useful.

Of course there were all the 'standard' benefits that came with these kinda changes, superhuman strength, superhuman speed and reflexes, and all the other standard things that people think of when they think of a 'super soldier'. Although he wasn't as strong or fast as a sekirei he was close enough to be able to make up for the small difference with experience and weaponry.

His body also had a healing factor, allowing him to regenerate wounds, he COULD regrow lost limbs, but the process would take weeks, he had regrown his legs once before and it was something he didn't want to do again, the healing factor wasn't as convenient to just instantly repair any wound, the repair time depended on the wound, a stab or gunshot wound could take from a few seconds to a minute depending on the weapon used, a broken bone could be repaired instantly or an hour depending on how it broke, and a lost limb would take a day IF he had the limb, he could reattach it and the skin, muscle, and bone would reattach themselves, if he didn't have the limb and he had to regrow from scratch then it would take maybe two weeks at most a week at least. His body was also immune to all diseases, the only sickness he got were the side effects of the modifications he got.

All in all Jun was a child soldier that turned into a war hero, and when his government saw the potential he had, he was selected to be one of many soldiers that would undergo upgrades and modifications to become the ultimate weapon, this was only after he lost most of his limbs and internal organs, the 'men in black' approached him and told him that if he entered their program he would be given a new body that would be better than anything he could imagine, if he didn't then he would remain in that hospital bed for the rest of his life from the damage he took in a particularly bad battle.

The end result was a soldier whose power was that of a low to mid level sekirei, he wasn't even close to a single number, but he was equal to anything in the 30s-40s, and BETTER than anything above the 50s, of course that's just raw power, experience makes up for allot as well, and there were hardly any sekirei that had the battle experience he did, so if he did come across a sekirei that beat him in raw power, he could beat them through experience, if that failed he could out think them with his advanced brain, if that failed he could out survive them with his body's healing factor, and if that failed he could come back from the dead to get revenge.

Karasuba knew about his advanced body and tailored the training to compensate for it...meaning she didn't show any mercy...she wouldn't have anyway but at least now she had an excuse to hurt him without worrying about the healing, she would snap, crack, pop, rip, crush, and tear just about whatever she wanted without worry.

Karasubas theory was pain makes perfect, you mess up, pain, your too slow, pain, you do it perfect but she doesn't care...PAIN. It wasn't just for her sadistic pleasure though, she was right, pain was the best teacher, the battlefield showed no mercy and there was no such thing as a 'water break' in the heat of combat, so karasuba treated it just as a real battle, and by the time they were done Juns body was pushed to the LIMITS, even with his advanced healing factor, but he was BETTER, one day and he was already better, karasuba cut out ALL comfort from training but the results showed, it was essentially 'flash training', Jun was familiar with this method, it was how they trained child soldiers.

Flash training was basically training that only lasted a few weeks at most, but was 100 times harder than standard training, to compensate for time shortage you uped the difficulty and while it wasn't the best LONG term training method it DID get results.

The way it was mostly used in the military world was too train ALLOT of soldiers quickly and hardly rather than spending years and tons of money to train a few soldiers.

It came down to taste, what would you rather have- 10 soldiers that weren't well trained or 1 soldier that had all the training. Numbers or skill.

The difference was, Jun already had the best elite military training so the flash training was just to get him back into the swing of things and to prepare him for the more advanced stuff.

Karasuba was particularly eager to teach Jun how to use the Sword, Jun was a master with blades, but the SWORD was something else entirely, and while in the war he carried a machete and used it like a master, a machete and a nodachi/katana were two completely different things and Japanese swords weren't very common on the battlefields he was from.

To say Jun was eager to learn how to use a classic Japanese sword would be a massive understatement, he was PUMPED.

What do you think of when someone says the word "sword"?, you think of Kill Bill, you think of the last samurai, you think of a badass warrior holding a katana taking on a thousand guys, Japanese swords are the essential weapons of true warriors, the kind of weapon only the best of the best could use and to be trained to use these legendary weapons was something the young man could only ever dream of, and of course the fact he was being trained by an alien warrior goddess of world ending power.

Yume and Homura trained hard themselves, the two 'element' type sekirei made the perfect sparing partners, when they were done however Jun and Karasuba were only getting started, so they watched and enjoyed the show, while Yume wanted her sister to be more gentle, she knew that while karasubas training methods may be brutal, they were also effective and they got results quickly albeit not without pain.

JUNS APARTMENT

7:00 P.M.

Juns collapsed, ALL day...all fucking day, and he was done, his body physically shut down, unable to continue, he needed WATER so bad it hurt, he wasn't mad at karasuba, not at all, everything she was doing was out of love, and besides they were connected now, they had achieved the highest level of bonding a sekirei and ashikabi could achieve, they could tell each others thoughts, feel each others pain and pleasure and karasuba could even stimulate her ashikabi with her mind, as soon as he collapsed she picked him up gently and brought him inside, she was so proud of her ashikabi, he didn't complain, he did everything she asked without question and tried his hardest with everything, she wanted to make him know it was all just training, she knew he wasn't mad at her, actually the opposite, he THANKED her, but still...he was in pain...and as his sekirei she couldn't help but want to comfort her ashikabi.

"Ill deal with Jun-sama karasuba, you can go clean up and relax, homura will make you some food, and YES you are going to eat, you need food sister"

"fine fine fine yume, just don't pester me, what about jun-kun? i want-"

"ill take care of him, i haven't got my turn yet"

karasuba and Yume laughed and she handed her Jun-kun gently to her sister.

"Your some 'master' sister"

"homura..."

Karasuba walked past him and continued on, clearly she hadn't accepted him yet...

"karasuba...your obviously not even winded, so why don't we spare, im sure you could use a little training with a real opponent, Jun-san is skilled but hes not even close to US, want somebody your own size?"

"heh heh oh Homura im liking you already..."

The two squared off in the training yard, and began their 'training'

MBI ASHIKABI HOSPITAL

8:00 P.M.

Mikogami awoke tired, groggy and in a mild amount of pain, he could still feel his left arm...it was there...but i wasn't...the doctor explained that the nerves hadn't adjusted to not laving a limb attached to them so they were basically 'calling out' trying to reestablish a link with something that was no longer there...and never would be again, the arms ends had been burned to a crisp so even with MBIs advanced medical technology reattaching would be useless, the doctor said they would have a mechanical one ready in about a week.

Mikogami was in hell, at least in his mind...the shame that came from the lose of the limb was almost unbearable, the pain...all of it led to him shutting himself off, he didn't want to see ANYONE, Higa, natsuo and others had tried to come and talk to him but it was useless, he didn't even want to hear their voices...

Mutsu had for the last few days done everything he could to help his master, he wouldn't give up, he kept trying to talk to his ashikabi, to lure him out of his room...ANYTHING, but Mikogami was so depressed he couldn't even see his ever caring sekirei Mutsu.

Something changed however, there's always that point in a mans life when he goes from a boy to man...it could be a single event, a life changing decision, or just a simple gradual growth, but in the end it always happened, a boy to a man...and mikogami had blown past that line at a million miles an hour...

Finally after what seemed like an eternity of waiting in those uncomfortable hospital chairs...Mutsus master finally called out to him, it wasn't the voice the sekirei had grown to love...there was something...off...about it, it 'sounded' the same like it wasn't any deeper or anything but it was...more...commanding maybe?

Mutsu pushed the thought aside, his master had been through allot and just the fact that he was calling out to him made Mutsu the happiest sekirei around.

"m-mutsu...please come here...please"

Mutsu entered the room as if there was fire, so eager to finally hear his masters voice. While the male sekirei never really showed any emotion at all even when it concerned his ashikabi, these last few days were like torture, slow agonizing MENTAL torture, Mutsu never realized how much he LOVED Mikogami until he was denied the boys company...its like the humans say, 'you don't know what you got until its gone'

"yes master im here, is everything okay?, do you need the doctor?, are you Hungary?, thirsty?..."

"n-no, can you hand me those pills, the pain is back"

"of course master, the morphine or the oxycodone?"

"both...three Ms and four Os"

"very well master"

Mutsu handed Mikogami the pain medication and gently lifted him so he could sip some water to down the pills. Mutsu couldn't help himself, being denied your ashikabis company for so long then being so close to him was making him go crazy...so he set his sword down and got up onto the bed to hold his master...that's all he wanted...just to hold the injured boy in his arms.

"w-what...are you doing"

"shhhhh, just let me hold you master...please...i just want to feel you...to know your really there...when 'THIS' happened...i...i was so scared master...ive never been so scared in my life..."

Mikogami couldn't believe what he was hearing, his usually calm, collected and detached sekirei was being so...personal with him...it felt...good...REALLY good, to have the sekirei so close to him.

Mikogami leaned into the hug and tried his best to wrap his arms around the sekirei. Mutsu was stunned for a second that his master was actually returning the affection but smiled and helped his master wrap his one good arm around his waste.

"thank you for everything mutsu...just...thank you"

"of course my master"

The two stayed like that until Mutsus advanced sekirei hearing picked up footsteps coming, he got off the bed and returned to his usual professional and stoic look, he and Mikogami agreeing the interaction stay between them.

"Can i come in, or are you still playing the shut in?"

"what do you want Higa?"

Higa Izumi, The most powerful ashikabi in the city...at least in HIS part of the city, recently there have been others rising to power and if there was one thing Higa hated...it was competition.

"Your arm, does it feel better?, i brought flowers by the way, the doctor said they couldn't go near you for 'medical reasons' so i had my bodyguard leave them just outside"

Higa took a seat to Mikogamis left, with Mutsu on the right side of his master.

"thank you for the thought, now what is it you want, i know you didn't come out of friendship"

"i suppose ill just cut straight to the point then, me and you had a good thing going, and now that good thing is being challenged by people who have already left their mark on you, i want these people gone, i want this game to be destroyed, and i want to be the head of MBI"

"that's allot of 'wants' my old comrade, lets start from the top"

"very well...Jun yeager...well thats just the shortened version...full birth name- Julian Yeager Murcielago"

"his last name is 'murcielago'? is he Italian?"

"No, Murcielago is a Spanish word not an Italian one, and yes his mother was from Spain, span as in the country in Europe, not the south american Spanish...by the way Murcielago means 'BAT' in Spanish"

"Bat huh, like a bat, i hate those things, used to be scared of them when i was little"

"what happened?"

"Brought in tiger owls to hunt them down and kill them, Owls are the natural predators for Bats so it only made sense"

"how did it turn out?"

"the owls got rid of them for a little while but the bats came back, they were never gone you see, they had just gone to places so deep and dark that owls wouldn't even get close too them, when they came back it was in full force, like they were coming back with a vengeance"

"..."

"they tore the owls apart, the owls had speed, strength, superior in every way really, but the bats just wouldn't die, they just kept coming and coming and coming until all the owls were dead, it didn't matter how big or strong the owls were, the bats just wouldn't stop until they were all dead, luckily we were moving out soon anyway so they could keep the damn house"

"were getting off topic..."

"your right, continue"

"yes...so...Julien Yeager Murcielago...he has THREE single number sekirei, including the dreaded 'black sekirei'"

"i thought number four hated humans...Mutsu you worked with her...whats she like?"

"a monster"

Both Higa and Mikogami looked up at the sekirei with surprise.

"sorry, i didn't mean to be so dramatic, but its true...shes a dog of war...shes LIVES for battle and death...there were MANY invasions of kamakura island, we saw soldiers from all countries and races, she loved to pick apart soldiers, it was like watching a child pick the wings off a fly, she didn't just kill them, she KILLED them, as in beaten, broken, skinned, smashed into the rocks, their heads mounted on her wall kind of killed, and she enjoyed every second of it"

"fuck..."

"shes changed...the reports im getting indicate she really loves her ashikabi, like REALLY loves him"

"impossible, the only thing that animal can love is her sword, beyond that is just objects...shes just using her ashikabi as a tool to gain power, now number 8 Yume, and number 6 Homura i could see loving their ashikabi...but karasuba...not in a million years"

"what if your wrong mutsu"

"im not"

"very well, there's one more ashikabi we need to discuss before talking about WHAT were going to do to regain our power over this city"

"does this ashikabi worry you more than Jun Yeager?"

Higa handed Mikogami the file on their targets.

"in some ways yes...in others no...but them TOGETHER...REALLY worries me, this KID has more sekirei in just a few days than ive ever seen, and there ALL powerful, but the ashikabi himself is nothing to worry about, unlike Jun he couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag..."

"maybe...but five sekirei is nothing to scoff at, and THREE single numbers is something id be very worried about...numbers 2,3, and 9 plus numbers 88 and 108, this kid may not be some ex-assassin badass but hes got a soul that can attract the strongest sekirei..."

"dont tell me you believe in that 'soul' stuff like the others?"

"of course i do, a sekireis soul is the core of their being, me and Mutsu know that better than anyone..."

Mikogami handed the file back to Higa.

"so Julien Yeager Murcielago and what was the other guys name..."

"Minato Sahashi..."

JUNS APARTMENT

8:30 P.M.

Yume moved Jun into the shower to wash him, His body was already healing all the damage he had taken during his training and he would be back to 100% in just under an hour, PLENTY of time for Yume to get done what she needed to do...

Yume quickly washed her ashikabi, he was so worn out he could barely stand up, let alone talk, so she washed him thoroughly, dried him off and moved him into the bedroom, the sound of Homura and Karasuba going at it rang outside so she closed the door to block out the noise.

Juns body was healed enough now for his speech and basic energy levels to come back, he lazily sat up and looked around the room, he spotted Yume in just a towel coming out of the shower, she was a women so it always took her longer to shower, she was so pretty, her body was perfect in every way, she literally was the exact image for any mans dream of the 'perfect women', she was loyal, mature, smart, pretty, all the things that made the 'perfect girl', and man was she perfect...

Jun laid back, the energy in his body slowly returning as his healing factor took care of all the cuts and scrapes, he made sure to block the healing factor in a few places though, he wanted a few scars from the training, all over the young mans body were light scars, he could choose what parts healed and what didn't, he always left a few scars as battle marks to show where hes been and what hes done, he was proud of his scars, they were marks of honor, showing what a truly experienced warrior looked like.

Yume slowly and sensually walked over to where her ashikabi was resting on the bed, she crawled up next to him and laid into the crook of his neck, slowly nuzzling the space and making Juns spine tingle with pleasure.

"thanks for doing that yume, i was so worn out i couldn't even talk"

"of course Jun-sama, anything for you"

"your the best yume, i love you"

Yume kissed her ashikabis neck and rest her head on his chest.

"i love you more Jun-sama"

"i love you more"

"no i love you more"

"i love you times a thousand"

"i love you INFINITY"

"hah hah got straight to the top Yume, you cheater"

Jun playfully stuck his tongue out and she nipped at his neck, they were like two teenagers, it was even stranger considering Yume was old enough to be his MOM, but then again so was karasuba and that never seemed to stop her, though NOTHING could stop that women when it came to 'her jun-kun'

Jun loved how easy Yume was, she could be a normal girl when she wanted to be, and it was refreshing to be able to be with someone who could at least pretend to be a normal women, Homura was similar but he was too much a play boy to be considered 'normal', and karasuba was karausba so that left yume to be the 'normal one' out of their little group.

yume snuggled into Juns chest, she was practically begging for him to have sex with her, it was so nice to have a girl who at least asked before they did it, Karasuba would pretty much just RAPE him, and nobody could say no to homura also with his seducing skills he always got what he wanted whether Jun wanted too or not.

Yume though...she ASKED if they could make love, even if Jun had both his legs ripped off he would still say yes on the very fact that she ASKED alone, Karasuba would just TAKE what she wanted...by force if necessary and while homura didn't just force him down, he didn't let him say no either...

So of course Jun said yes, when the literal physical portrait of beauty is asking you for sex, you DONT say no...no matter how much pain your in.

LEMON(SEX), BRIEF BUT GOOD, HAD TO GIVE YUME HER ALONE TIME WITH JUN, I DIDN'T WANT TO NEGLECT HER CHARACTER BECAUSE I REALLY DO LIKE HER...NO WEIRD STUFF OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, JUST NORMAL SEX...

Yume rolled over so Jun was on top of her...god it felt so good to the one on top for a change...Jun slowly removed her towel and his own, Yume nervously bit her nail as he teasingly removed her only clothes, peeling it back to reveal the most amazing body on earth, just too amazing to describe, perfect legs, large ass and tits, hard stomach...perfect.

The cold air hit yume but she didn't cover up when the towel was removed, she let her ashikabi examine every inch of her, jun could tell she was nervous so he made it easier by coming closer so their bodies were touching, this way she didn't feel like she was under a microscope...

Jun and yume kissed, wet slurpy sounds filled the room as there tongues intertwined, mixing together in perfect harmony rather than one dominating the other, Jun moved lower and lower, massaging her nipple the whole time, he couldn't resist her boobs, they were the nicest things on the planet, so soft and round, so TOUCHABLE.

He sucked on her nipples until they were as had as his length, he then moved to between her legs and began pleasuring her wet spot...

Yume let out a moan of pure bliss when her ashikabis tongue made contact with her spot, he moved in circles...side to side...up and down, she let out moans and pleasured sighs as he entered her with his expert tongue, he then pulled out unexpectedly earning a mewl from his too cute sekirei.

Jun positioned himself at her wet entrance, her passage quivering with anticipation, he slowly entered her, she whimpered with pleasure as her loves hard length pierced her tight folds, Jun took his time, savoring every little feeling, you couldn't rush with Yume, she was the kind of girl you WANTED to be gentle with, you wanted to take care of her because she took such good care of you, Yume was so loyal and kind that he couldn't help but return the kindness in every way he could.

Jun slowly started moving and Yume got more and more loose, she wrapped her legs around her ashikabis back and held her hands up, they held hands as Jun thrust'ed into her, his slim muscular body fitted perfectly with her frame, Jun laid on top of her as he couldn't be straight up anymore, it felt too good...

Jun and Yume changed positions and Yume got on top, moving her hips all the way down to slide perfectly over her partners length, with one last push Jun emptied all his semen into his sekirei, she took it all and collapsed on top of her human...

"thank you jun-sama..."

"no thank you Yume...t-that was...amazing"

Jun said between short breaths, he and yume remained together for the rest of the night. Karasuba and Homura joined them latter, the two showered together and moved into the bed for sleep, Karasuba taking Juns left side, Yume on his right side, and Homura right between his legs, using his crotch as a pillow.

The four fell into a deep nice sleep, perfectly happy being connected to their special person...Juns nightmares started but his sekirei were ready to comfort him and beat back his horrible thoughts...They didn't care though, helping their ashikabi was the best thing a sekirei could ask for and too be so close and fully connected to him was a dream come true for the three aliens.

MIKOGAMIS STRONGHOLD

11:00 P.M.

Mikogami returned too his home under a barrage of love from his sekirei, they were all so happy to see him and they threw him a huge party.

Mikogami approached Akitsu after the party, he needed her and her power, after all she was a single number and extremely powerful, and the best way to control her would be to play on her want to be a 'good sekirei'

"mikogami-sama, how are you, please forgive my attendance to your party i-"

Mikogami kissed the ice sekirei and ran his hand up her dress to feel her amazing behind.

Akitsu leaned into the touch, she was so happy her master wasn't mad at her that she completely submitted herself to him...

This was something Mikogami never would have done before, he had changed, his missing arm a constant reminder of his failures, he was a man now...and he wanted revenge against HIM...against Yeager...against the bat...against Julian Yeager Murcielago.
