SORAS APARTMENT

For the last few days Sora had been gradually getting better, he became more responsive and more open to those around him and he even started coming out of his room more and more. For almost a week Soras sekirei stayed at home and took care of their wounded Ashikabi, they didn't mind though...they'd stay inside forever if it meant keeping Sora safe and happy.

On the morning of the fifth day Yume decided it was time Sora ate something, he hadn't eaten ANYTHING for five days and it was starting to show. His bones were starting to show through, Sora was skinny already so this made it even more apparent, his body fat was basically zero to begin with so once his body began eating into his fat reserves it only took a day for all of it to be gone, now his muscles were staring to wear thin.

Yume made a dish full of calories to beef her Ashikabi back up. She put the food on a tray and brought it up to Soras room, he was still asleep and depressed but he wasn't completely shut out.

"Sora? i brought you some food baby, you need to eat..."

Sora rustled around under the sheets and lazily got up, he sat on the edge of bed with his head in his hands. "im...im sorry for the trouble Yume...i promise ill get up today...i don't wanna keep you stuck with me, you don't HAVE to stay here...y-you can leave an-"

"Sora-sama...please...you know im not going to leave you, i will stay with you now and forever, through good times and bad...and you only get up when you feel better, do you understand me?"

"y-yes ma'am" Sora said nervously, Yume had a very forceful mothery approach when it came to her Ashikabi, you just couldn't say no to her because you WANTED to be taken care of by Yume, she had this comforting air about her that served to sooth anyone who was stuck in bad times, a motherly kind and a lovers kind.

"t-thank you yume...for everything" Sora said with a smile, he wiped the tears from his eyes and reached out for a hug from his buxom sekirei. Like a child begging for affection from his mamma, Sora put his arms out just like a child would, Yume giggled at her Ashikabis childish ways, he was just so cute when he did things like that. Yume gladly granted his little plea for affection and placed the tray of food down to joined her Sora on the bed.

Yume wrapped her arms around Sora and pulled him up into her arms, she held him in her arms and gently rubbed his back and whispered soothing words. Yume and Sora were around the same height with Yume being just a few inches taller, like Karasuba Yume was tall, six feet 2 inches with Sora being right between five and six feet. Unlike Karasuba Yume didn't tower over her Ashikabi, she was taller but not so much, she could hold him in her arms with her god-like strength, to her he was lighter than a baby which made Love making alot easier. When your partner was as light as a feather it made hugging, holding, kissing, and fucking an easy task. She could simply pick him up and do what ever she wanted with her cute little Ashikabi. But still Unlike Karasuba Yume didn't just hold him down, she had an amazing romantic side and she behaved like a "normal" human wife.

She then pulled him into a nice loving kiss, her white wings flashed out as she deepened the kiss, she gently pushed his frail body down onto the bed and began kissing his neck gently and rubbing his chest. "ah y-yume...wait...we cant"

"Yes we can, i haven't felt your flesh in a long time my love, i just wanna touch you a little...ill be gentle, after were done ill feed you, and no 'i can feed myself' because my word is final" Yume whispered into Soras ear while she moved to tweaking his nipples, she could feel his ribs and thin body under her finger tips, it wasn't nearly as sexy as his usually hard frame, but it wasn't too bad all things considered.

Yume moved down to Soras already hard piece and pulled down his boxers, she gave little licks and nibbles to his hard flesh before taking it whole. "fuck...e-easy yume...can you go a little slower?"

"haha no-can-do Sora, im gonna make you feel SO good" Yume giggled as she went back down and continued her blow...

Soras head fell back and his eyes rolled back in his head, moans of pure pleasure escaping his lips as he laid back and relaxed into Yumes love.

MBI TOWER

Natsuo Ichinomi briskly walked down the large hallways of the large MBI headquarters, things had been mostly "all quit on the western front" as an American would say, there hadn't been any troubles worth the attention of the discipline squad...yet

There was talk among the lower dregs of the sekirei plan that there was an escape plan in the making, whatever they were planing it didn't bother Natsuo too much...he knew Benitsubasa and Haihaine could handle whatever these rejects could throw at them, and with MBIs new anti-sekirei special forces group, the Hunter-Nin, the chances of any escape seemed even less likely.

It wasn't any escape plan or assassination attempt that was bothering the young man, no...it was something else...something Natsuo found to be a little embarrassing to admit. It was no secret that the handsome and wealthy Natsuo was a homosexual, but that wasn't EXACTLY true. The truth was that he was BIsexual, meaning he was attracted to both sexes.

After all the years in the service of MBI Natsuo could honestly admit he didn't feel...content?...happy?..."things were so much better when Karasuba" was here, Natsuo thought to himself as he stopped outside one of the large windows on the upper floors, he had always liked the grey haired sekirei...alot more than most.

Natsuo remembered back to his early days at MBI, it was really amusing to see everyone, even the hardened MBI soldiers, avoided her, sometimes they would take the stairs just to avoid passing her in the hallway.

She was actually REALLY nice to him in the early days, it wasn't until the director ordered him to wing her and her partner did things get sour, it hurt Natsuo when he was shot down by her...it really did...they had gotten along so great so what was the problem?

Yume always told him it was because he wasn't her "true" Ashikabi but Natsuo never bought that line of Bull, Benisubasa and Haihane didn't seem to care who there Ashikabi was so why should Karasuba?...ESPECIALLY Karasuba...she HATED humans...so why did she change?

Natsuo felt a pang of jealousy at the thought of THAT man touching Karasuba, feeling her body and pleasuring her...Natsuo shook his head and continued down the hallways toward the discipline squads hang-out area.

He pushed forward the double doors and entered to see Hiahane playing some video game and Benistubasa trying on various high quality dresses and precious silks. Natsuo had grown fond of his sekirei, he really did, but he always loved how commanding and dominating Karasuba was, he respected her sense of command and her 'zero fucks given' attitude. He didn't like how clingy and submissive his sekirei were...he wanted a strong and independent partner, not a lap dog...but that was just a fantasy, it was time to focus on reality.

"Oh Natsuo! can you tell me which dress you like better? i-i know you like darker colors so i thought id try the blue" Beni said while shifting nervously, eager to please her Ashikabi.

"He doesn't care about the clothes Beni, you couldn't please him where it matters anyway" Haihane said with a snicker.

"WHATS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN HUH?!" Beni turned with rage and placed her hands defensively on her hips.

"It means you look like a boy with that non-existent chest, though Natsuo might like that haha" Haihane was having too much fun teasing her friend.

"T-THERE JUST SMALL C-CAUSE I HAVEN'T EATEN ANYTHING LATELY! A-AND DON'T MOCK NATSUO LIKE THAT! HES JUST CONFUSED, NOT GAY"

"Alright Alright girls, remember were supposed to be a team, i like the blue dress Benistubasa, and Haihane please be understanding of your partners lack of assets"

"Yes Master, would you like to play?" Haihane extended her hand with a controller for the xbox, Natsuo hesitated for a minute before relenting and sitting down with his sekirei to play video games, something he never did before.

Haihane looked shocked but went along with it anyway, her Ashikabi always blew her off but to say she was exited that he was finally sitting down to play with her would be a MASSIVE understatement.

"w-wait i wanna play too!"

"do you even know how?"

"t-that doesn't matter!, i wanna be on Natsuos team!"

"alright that sounds fair, i am better than both of you so it evens the playing field"

Benitsubasa sat down next to Natsuo and cuddled up to him while they played their games, for the first time ever the group sat together laughing and having fun TOGETHER. Natsuo smiled to himself, he had to admit...this felt really good...maybe this is what it was like to have a sekirei...Natsuo refocused on the game, a feeling of pure happiness in his heart as he played with his sekirei."

OUTSIDE SORAS APARTMENT.

A lone women dressed traditional Japanese clothing made her way down the narrow side streets leading to her young freinds apartment. Miya asama had heard of Soras loss from Minato, her heart leaped with pain when she learned what happened to the already damaged young man. Miya wanted to do anything she could to help the depressed Sora, she felt an attraction to the young man, not like an Ashikabi kind but a more motherly kind. With Soras parents now gone Miya felt a responsibility to take care of the boy, she always wanted too but now it was the perfect time.

Perhaps it was Miya trying to fill the void Takehito left, she couldn't do that with Minato because of how young he was and all the sekirei running around the house. But Soras was older and more mature, he was a different man than Takehito was though. With Sora she could fill the empty spot in her heart by letting out all her mother and wife like feelings she had bubbled up inside.

As Miya was approaching the Apartment two sekirei jumped down in front of her and blocked her path. They were wearing black leather armor with white ninja traditional ninja clothes over it, they also had skull masks and black hoods which made them look rather non friendly.

Miya took her sword out from under her dress and flashed a little bit of her sword, she didn't pull it all the way out but just enough to show the Hanya mask imprinted in the base of the sword, just above the hilt. She had a little sun hat on which hid her face, her red eyes glowing through the holes on the hat, making her equally threatening to the skull faces challengers.

"Yume-sama, we have an armed intruder, how should we proceed?" The smaller one on the left said over a comm link in her ear. The taller one of the right flanked Miyas position and formed two ice blades in her hands.

"It would not be wise to attack me young one, i am a friend, ask Yume-chan, tell her the Hanya of the north is here to comfort Jun Yeager, your Ashikabi"

"The Hanya of the north? did you hear that Yume-sama?" The smaller one said over the comm link.

"Yes Yahan, Miya-san is a friend, please allow her to proceed" Yume responded with command authority.

"Yes Yume-sama"

Yahan and Akitsu moved out of the way and bowed their heads submissively to the much more powerful sekirei queen, if it meant protecting Sora they would gladly take her on, but Miya was certainly a friend so they gave their respects before jumping off to regain their over watch positions around the apartment.

"Thank you young ones, your dedication to your Ashikabi is admirable, please continue your good work" Miya said as she put her sword back under her long Kimono and went on her way.

SORAS APARTMENT.

Miya went up to the door, it opened before she could knock and there was Yume with a big smile on her face, obviously happy to see her former mentor had come to visit.

"Please come in Miya-san, im SO happy you chose to visit, Sora-sama is going to be very happy to see you" Yume said with a smile as she opened the door and allowed Miya to come in.

Miya stepped into the nice apartment and respectfully bowed to Yume, she was the guest after all. She removed her hat and the outer layer of her Kimono to get more comfortable. "I had to come, and Sora?" Miya asked as she placed her sword on the coffee table in the living room.

"Yes, the last thing his mother told him before she..." Yume stopped, she appeared to be choking up so Miya put her hand on her comrades shoulder in comfort. "The last thing she told him was his real name correct?"

Yume nodded. Miya continued, "and his real name is Sora?"

"Yes, Indigo...Sora Indigo"

"i see...its a beautiful name, Where is he now?"

"Upstairs" Yume pointed to the stairs to Soras bedroom. "Homura and Shiina are with him now, Karasuba is in the shower" Yume went to sit on the couch, she looked tired and her eyes had tear streaks that were a few days old. Miya sat down next to her comrade and wrapped her strong arms around her shoulders.

"You've done everything you can possibly do im sure, knowing you Sora-kun is in the best care imaginable, you and your comrades did NOTHING wrong. You CANT blame yourself for what happened, itll rip you up inside, im sure the guilt is killing you right now as we speak."

Yume nodded her head, Miya was absolutely right...the guilt was killing all the sekirei of Sora. The guilt of what they COULD have done to save Sora his family and the pain of their deaths.

"I love that boy like my own child BUT...Sora-kun has a BAD tendency of blaming himself for all his life's misfortunes, he has a massive guilt-complex and im sure the deaths of his mother and uncle was the straw that broke the camels back, all the years of pain and suffering finally caught up to him...don't let it do the same to you, if you do, you'll be USELESS to your beloved Ashikabi" Miya stated calmly but firmly.

Yume looked at her mentor with shock...not shock at what she said...but shock at the realization of how RIGHT Miya was. If she allowed guilt to cloud her mind and bring her down it would NO good to her family, she needed to be a leader and an example, a symbol of hope for her broken Ashikabi. The light to guide him out of the darkness.

Yume smiled, her smile then turned into laughter...the relief kind of laughter, like a huge weight was lifted off of Yumes shoulders, Miya and Yume hugged then Miya got up and proceeded up the stairs to her friends bedroom.

Miya knocked on the door, she heard some rustling and whispering, a little silver haired Shiina got the door and was a little surprised when he saw it was Miya, he bowed respectively. "welcome to Master Soras home Miya-sama, if i had known you were coming i would have made myself more presentable"

Miya giggled, "Oh Shiina please drop the "sama" you don't have to be so formal with me honey, and while i don't allow sexual relations in my inn...i know not all households have the same rule" Miya with an air of mild annoyance as she gestured to the naked Homura lying on top of an equally naked Sora and the blankets moving up and down from Homuras thrusting. Piles of clothes were strewn across the room, the strong smell of hard sex and the sound of pleasured moans only adding to Miyas point...

Shiina rubbed his cheek and laughed nervously when he realized Miya had come in just when he and Homura were...well Homuras thrusting hips spook for itself.

"j-just give us a minute p-please Miya-sam...i-i mean Miya"

"Of course, i expect our young friend to be at least half way decent when i enter" Miya said with a kind (terrifying) smile and a warm (evil) motherly (devilish) voice.

Yume giggled from the living room at Miyas antics with little Shiina, seeing her take charge was always something to behold.

About 3 minutes latter the two silver haired boys emerged from the room with most of there clothes on. They had cans of air freshener that they were trying to hide behind their backs, they were obviously spraying the cans like mad men trying to remove the smell of sex from the air...it didn't really work.

Miya playfully tousled Homuras silver hair and exchanged greetings with her old friend before entering the room and closing the door.

Sitting on the edge of the bed in his underwear and a very loose tank top was Sora Indigo, his eyes has huge bags under them and his hair was an absolute disaster zone, he didn't smell bad but the distinct aura of depression and make up sex clung to his skin like a plague...overall he looked exactly like he felt...complete SHIT.

Sora covered his eyes when the door was opened, Miya quickly closed it and slowly approached the young man. "m-miya? is that you?"

"Yes sweetheart, its me...Minato told me everything and i got the footage of the attack from Matsu...i cant imagine how your feeling right now but ive come to help"

Sora lightly chuckled, "haha help ME? nothing can help me Miya...im a total fuck up...and nothing can ever change that...i-"

"Stop talking like that right now Sora, your the farthest thing from a failure ive EVER seen, the only thing that is keeping you down is YOU."

Sora looked at Miya for a minute with a little disbelief but chuckled again when it sunk in. "yeah your right...i cant even be brought down by someone else...i get beaten by myself...how PATHETIC"

Miya huffed at how Sora twisted her words, she went to take a seat next to the handsome boy. "Your convincing yourself that your the cause of all your life's troubles, your not to blame for the evil doings of others"

"your right...but i could have stopped them...i could have been faster, stronger...i could have...done something"

"No you couldn't have, we have no control over our destiny, but we can choose how to travel the road laid out for us...and blaming yourself is not a healthy way of doing it...it will only lead to your self destruction"

"hahaha don't make me laugh with all that "destiny" bullshit, you don't actually believe in that shit do you?"

"It does not matter what i believe, because right now your destroying yourself AND your sekirei"

That got Soras attention, he NEVER wanted to hurt his precious sekirei...

"w-what do you mean?"

"Have you not stopped and looked at your sekirei Sora? There in pieces over you, there doing EVERYTHING they can to help you and your simply lost in your own selfish depression, have you ever thought that there are people who depend on you? people who NEED you?"

"m-miya...i...n-no...i mean"

"Think Sora. Your sekirei are out there right now worried to death about you, crying and weeping over your well being...is that what you want?...for them to be suffering over you, they NEED you Sora...they need the you that everyone knows and loves, the you that gets things done...you cant blame yourself anymore child...because ITS NOT YOUR FAULT...none of it is"

"I know..."

Miya looked stunned.

"i-i mean...i know now...its just...its not fair Miya...i know everyone in the world suffers in their life...but-"

"But you've suffered more than a thousand people combined and its not fair" Miya finished for him.

Sora nodded.

"Your right, you have suffered more than anyone, but your suffering has given you something nobody else has..."

Sora looked at Miya with desperate questioning eyes.

"STRENGTH. More strength than a million men, you are a man who seen and done more horrible things than lifetimes of people will ever do, and its made you the man you are today. A man who can face any challenge and over come it, a man of love and hate, of pain and happiness...we don't choose our own destiny Sora...but we can choose how we handle it." Miya said with a reassuring smile

Sora looked down in understanding, Miya was right...but it didn't change the pain her felt in his heart...the pain of all the traumas hes suffered...he needed to talk to somebody about it.

"Would you like to talk about it Sora?" Miya said gently.

"y-yes...c-could you sit with me Miya? i don't want to be alone"

"of course sweety, you wont ever have to be alone again, you've been alone your whole life...your sekirei will always be there for you...I will always there for you"

"t-thank you Miss Miya-san" Sora said with a smile and a little laugh

Miya giggled at the mention of "miss miya-san"...from when they first met, Sora didn't know honorifics well at the time.

"hahaha yes of course child, now please...tell me anything."

Sora took a deep breathe and went to the first memory that popped in his mind, he had thousands of these horrid memory's but this one in particular was on his mind ALOT lately ever since he started having sex with both genders, Homura and Shiina were great and he loved them but being with them always brought up memory's of...the first time he was with a man...it wasn't an enjoyable experience to say the least.

"the red dawn concentration camps...where they took prisoners of war...where they took me"

Miya grew silent as one of the worst memories came to Sora. She allowed him to continue.

"I was a young soldier then, 17 years old, i had just joined the force recon regiment, a group of elite scouts that went out ahead of the main force and checked for hostiles, cleared mines, ambushes, sniper duty, and all other kinds of special missions scouts did before the main force got there, scouts are behind enemy lines alot so there's a large chance of getting captured...on my third mission there was a traitor in my squad, he killed the other two in our group in there sleep and knocked me out...he then turned me over to the enemy and i was imprisoned in a concentration camp for POWs (prisoners of war)

Miya listened intently to the story, soaking in every detail and reading Soras face and voice to see where he was going, she would be ready to comfort him if it got too heavy for the damaged boy.

"i remember the camp, what they did to the prisoners, the TORTURE...the head of the camp had a...special interest...in me. I was a sniper, i had killed so many enemy soldiers so they didn't like me very much...the head of the camp brought me into a secret room one day after an ENTIRE month of torture...he knew i wouldn't break and give away information...so he tried a different tactic..."

Miya had a look of disgust, she could only imagine what a whole month of torture was like and this "different tactic" didn't sound to nice.

"He brought in a mother and her 6 year old daughter, they were taken from a nearby village...he said he was going to have sex with me...he was going to do all kinds of dirty things with my body...and if i resisted...or if i didn't play along even a little...he was going to cut off the little girls fingers in front of her mother and make the mother watch...then he would do all those sexual things...with the mother...in front of the little girl."

Sora had a look of absolute hatred and disgust on his face, he took a breathe to hold back his tears...Miya put a hand on his shoulder.

"So of course i went along with it, i wasn't gonna let a little girl get tortured and her mother get raped...He started by making me get my mouth all wet...he wanted me to roll my tongue around with my mouth open and get the spit all...ready...then he made me say things..."

"Say things?...Sora?" Miya asked gently.

"I want that big dick daddy...please give me your cock...i want it in my ass daddy...i wanna suck it pappa...i wanna shallow your cum like the nasty slut i am daddy" Sora repeated what the camp head said with barely contained anger and venom, he looked like he as going to throw up from just repeating the words.

"I didn't say it like that though, he told me to say it like i meant it...like i really wanted all that...like i believed in it...if i didn't say it exactly like he wanted he would start applying pressure to the clamp he had on the little girls fingers...she started crying...so i said it like i meant it...like a dirty little...Slut" Sora said the last part with barley contained tears, he was chocking up...

"h-he didn't even want information...he just wanted...i don't know...i don't know what he wanted...why did he do that Miya? what kind of person can do something like that?"

"The kind that doesn't deserve to live on this planet with the rest of us" Miya stated firmly.

"h-he said"..."im not gonna rap you for information, im gonna rap you cause i think its fun" Sora took a few more deep breaths.

"a-anyway...after he got horny from the things i said and from getting my mouth wet with my tongue...h-he...he started...touching me..."

Miya scooted closer to the trembling boy, his hands were shaking and tears were starting to flow. Miya placed her hand over his and wrapped her other arm around his shoulders and pulled him close.

"h-he started by making me...s-suck his...y-you know what...and while i was doing it he had me make all kinds of moans...l-like...like i really enjoyed it..." Soras voice cracked and he wiped some tears away in an attempt to not break down completely.

"h-he made me go so deep...i-i was so young then...just a child soldier...17 years old...a-and h-his...thing...was so big i started to choke...like really choke...i coughed and coughed but he made me keep going...i wanted to KILL him...i wanted to HURT him...i wanted to RIP HIM APART!...b-but i couldn't...b-because if i did...then he would hurt the little girl and her mother"

Miya rubbed Soras back and began making soothing sounds, she whispered words of comfort to the young man, trying to ease him down before he cracked.

"Easy Sora, everything's okay now, nobody can hurt you here...your safe with me...just breathe baby...breathe" Sora took a few deep breaths "Good boy...good boy...easy child...just take it slow"

"t-then he...g-got me naked...and started...t-touching me...all over...hahaha you know when Karasuba or Yume does it its like nothing else...b-but this...this was like being touched by the devil himself...DISGUSTING...i remember his hands were greasy and covered with blood...MY blood..."

Miya let Sora take a breather and relax, she continued comforting him before he started again.

"w-when he got me...into the position he wanted...he p-put his...penis...i-in my-" Sora couldn't finish the sentence, he didn't have too, Miya understood...

"oh god!..." Sora cried some more and Miya simply pulled him closer and tighter.

"it hurt so bad Miya!...oh god it hurt so bad!..." Sora yelled into Miyas shoulder, tears staining her clothes, he hugged her waist and got on his knees, he sunk down to her feet like he was begging her to understand...she DID...Miya brought Sora up into her lap like she would her own child and allowed him to cry in her arms, she soothed him until he continued...

"i-i was bleeding everywhere!...h-he didn't use any...lube...it was dry...and it HURT...like i was being ripped apart...i wanted to fucking kill that son of a bitch...but like i said...the little girl and her mamma...i couldn't let him hurt those two"

"I understated baby, you did what you had to do...those two are safe because of you, because of your pain and your sacrifice they were saved, take comfort in that ."

"n-no Miya...because when he was done with me...HE KILLED THEM ANYWAY!"

Miya almost gasped in shock. She contained her outrage and pulled the boy tighter into her arms and buried her head in his hair, Miya barely contained her own tears...

"i broke out of there a few months latter...i freed all my comrades who had been captured...we escaped and burned the prison camp to the ground...after the war...i tracked him down...the head of the camp...i tracked him to his house in America...his name was Micheal Armstrong...it was 2 years after the war ended...but my war wasn't over until he paid for what he did...i tracked him to his house where i saw him eating dinner with his family...he got married after the war and had two kids, they were only babies"

Miya braced herself, she could see where this was going...

"I killed him with a kitchen knife in front of his wife and two kids, i stabbed him 37 times in the head, neck, back, and spine...his wife screamed in horror, the babies were crying...i threw some pictures and evidence of what he did to me and the other prisoners to the wife and left...he got what he deserved...and i would do it again"

As much as Miya wanted to tell Sora that revenge wasn't the correct path to choose...even she had to admit...the bastard deserved it.

"You did the right thing" Miya whispered into his ear.

Sora looked up at her with a mixture of shock and question.

"He got what he deserved, his children grew up knowing the truth of what kind of man he was, you did them a favor Sora..."

"haha...w-when i told Karasuba that story...this was back before she was fixed...she asked me if it felt good...if killing that man who raped me felt good..."

"did it?"

"YES...as much as i wanted to deny it...as much as i told myself that it was just revenge...i couldn't lie to myself anymore, it felt GREAT...it felt so GOOD to KILL that fucker in front of his family...it felt good to hurt those who hurt me times a thousand" Sora looked down in shame, afraid Miya would be dejected.

To his surprise she only started stroking his hair lovingly. "I understand child, when Takehito died...and Karasuba brought me the only thing left of him, his lab coat...it felt SO good to hurt her...when she came and brought it too me that was supposed to be her big moment over me"

Sora was silent, he never knew about this...though he always wondered wear that scar on Karasubas stomach came from.

"i attacked her and brutally ripped her apart with my bare hands"

Sora was stunned again...

"it wasn't a fight, she presented me with the coat and i just speed blitzed her, in half a second i sliced her from end to end with my bare hands and left her there to bleed to death in the dirt"

"y-you were pissed that she would bring you the only thing left of Takehito, that she would mock you with your husbands remains"

"Correct. we have since settled our differences but at the time if we saw each other again there would be NO hesitation. We would kill each other in the fight to end all fights."

Sora shuddered at the thought of the two insane sword woman destroying the city in a god like battle to the death.

Miya took a long breathe and collected her thoughts. "The point is, i understand the desire to hurt those who have hurt you, and i don't blame you or hold it against you"

Sora nodded and tried to slightly pull away but Miya kept him in her strong arms, she rather enjoyed holding the slim boy in her arms, his skin was smooth and his muscles were hard. His feminine figure was just too cute as well, his hips were shapely and his butt was round like a woman's, his legs were long and thin but hard with muscle...he had the body of a swimmer and it really showed...Miya eyed his exposed flesh with lust, his tank top was over sized and lose so she could see his nipple peaking around the fabric. She hadn't felt a mans touch in a long time.

"m-miya?"

Miya didn't say anything. She slowly pulled back Soras loose tank top and brushed her fingers against his hard nipple, the little nub of flesh twitched at the light touch and Sora let out a cute little moan. Miya met Soras eyes with lust and need, he tried to look away from the intimidating woman but Miya grabbed his chin and forced him to look at her. "Your so cute Sora, i can see why your sekirei cant get enough of this body"

Miya let go of his chin and moved her hands to his shoulders and forced him onto the bed. "m-miya...w-we shouldn't"

"i cant help myself, i am the noble and honorable land lady of izumo inn...but im also a woman...and i have needs Sora"

Sora fell silent, he couldn't argue with that point. She had done so much for him the least he could do was give her release."Surrender yourself to me child and ill make you feel like you've never felt before, i have years of experience you know"

"b-but what about-"

Miya placed her finger on his lips. "Shhhhhh, we BOTH need this"

Sora relented. This was a side of the land lady he had never seen before, actually nobody had probably seen this side of the usually clean and upstanding woman. Miya couldn't get enough of Soras quivering body under her, his slim frame shook with mild fear and his eyes looked elsewhere to try and escape...there was no escape.

Miya had her arms on either side of his head and looked down directly into his eyes with her red orbs, she leaned down and her purple hair came forward to tickle Soras nose, he giggled at the nice feeling and Miya smiled from his childish nature and cute personality.

She couldn't kiss him but she could do...OTHER things. She began by kissing his neck, applying little tongue flicks to accent the feeling. She could feel his back arching and his hard erection poke against her stomach...a feeling she hadn't felt in a LONG time.

Just as things were getting hot and heavy the door opened and there stood Yume and Karasuba.

"Is everything alright? how are...oh my" Yume paused and put her hand over her mouth. Karasuba raised her sharp eyebrows and cocked her head to the side in a "see, i told you" kind of way.

Miya got off of Sora and pulled him into her arms possessively, a LARGE Hanya mask appeared in front of her with the words "forgot what you saw" leaving its mouth full of sharp teeth.

Karasuba ducked behind Yume and the two sekirei cowered in the corner of the room shivering with the huge Hanya mask floating over them.

"Well that was a good talk Sora-kun, im glad i could help you in your time of need, remember if there's anything you need you come straight to my inn, ill take care of you and your family" Miya gave Sora a nice kiss on the cheek and hugged him. Sora just forgot about the little sexual encounter they just had, no point dwelling on it, he chalked it up to a spur of the moment type thing, besides like Miya said...she was still a woman and she still had needs.

Sora adjusted his clothes and hugged her back. "Thank you for everything Miss Miya-san, i feel alot better now thanks to you...and if there's anything YOU need don't hesitate to ask me, i owe you my life after all"

"You don't owe me anything child, im just glad your better, your friends will be too when they hear about it...im sure Haruka and Kuno will be eager to meet with you"

"I will the first chance i get, see you soon Miya"

"you too Sora...i love you sweety"

"i love you too Miya"

Miya gave her young friend another kiss and departed, the hanya mask only going when she was out the door. Karasuba and Yume got out of the corner and joined their Ashikabi, eager to hear about what was discussed and how he was feeling.

"Im better now guys, no more hiding no more blaming myself no more depression, what happened to Carina and Edgar couldn't be helped, i know if they were still here this is not how they would want me to live my life...now...with that being said let me say im SORRY for putting all of you through this these last few days, im truly sorry...my sekirei"

Sora got on his knees and did a traditional Japanese bow of apology. His sekirei chuckled and picked him up, Karasuba playfully held him bridal style like when they first met and Yume scolded him on an improper bow like the mother she was. Sora was happy everything was back to normal, his sekirei didn't care about the last few days, they would stay by his side forever...something they made VERY clear over and over again.

Yume and Karasuba brought Sora down stairs and called everybody back to apartment to celebrate...this deserved a celebration.

Yume made an amazing feast and every one ate like kings. After dinner they all watched a few movies that Sora loved. He was in the mood for crime movies so they watched The godfather, goodfellas, scarface, and heat...after dinner and movies they went to bed together...happy that there Ashikabi was finally in good spirits.

NEXT MORNING

The next day Sora got a call from Minato requesting a meet up to discuss the escape plan, Sora happily agreed and went with Yahan and Homura to meet Haruka and Kuno. Yahan stuck to the shadows so nobody would even know she was there while Homura walked with Sora as his personal body guard.

When they arrived at the location, a warehouse by the docks, they were greeted by minato and musubi who took them to Haruka and Kuno.

"Miya tells me your in good spirits Sora-san, im glad she was able to help"

"thanks for sending her over Minato, i really appreciate everything you did for me"

Minato laughed and waved his hands dismissively, "think nothing of it, were friends aren't we"

"of course, blood brother"

Sora and Minato chuckled and talked light heart'ed until they reached the spot where Haruka was. The young man was waiting with his meek sekirei, they came out of there hiding spot wit Kuno holding Harukas hand and slightly hiding behind him, she nervously chewed on her fingers with her other hand and eyed Sora with those puppy eyes of hers.

"Hey guys, so are we all good now?"

"yeah were ready, the only thing left is too figure out exactly HOW were going to get you guys out of here" Minato said when they arrived.

"I can work something out, sneaking people around larger forces is something i have alot of experience in, there are a few ways to do it...assuming you even want to be stealthy, going full force through the front door is also an option...but that's the messy option" Sora said with his arms crossed as he leaned against a metal pillar.

"m-messy option?" Haruka asked nervously, "messy" didn't sound to good...

"Yeah, if we go straight through then were gonna be in direct action with MBI forces, that means sekirei fighting sekirei, gun fights, explosions...were gonna turn shinto teito into a war zone, that's not the way i recommend...i say we do it quick, clean, and silent"

"how would we do that?"

"i could sneak you two across disguised as a moving truck and you two could hide in the boxes, i could go under the bride and clear a path for you to make a break, i could drive you across...if your willing to be in the middle of high speed chase"

"that sounds better than getting into a small war with MBI"

"i agree, Minato...didn't you say something about a plan one of your sekirei was working on?" Sora took a seat on an old truck tire that was lying in the center of there circle.

"Yes, my sekirei Matsu worked out a plan to hack into a MBI satellite and blind there eye in the sky, while there blinded we run across on one of the old train bridges, its the easiest one to cross and its small"

"That sounds good, but just because there eye in the sky is taken out doesn't mean they wont be able to mobilize there ground forces, which includes the disciplinary squad"

Sora liked the plan Minato put forth but just running across the bridge didn't sound like too good of an idea, they would need to be faster than MBI could get there.

"Right, which is why our sekirei will clear the way for us to cross"

"Wont MBI come down like the hammers of hell if they knew sekirei helped other sekirei escape? especially with the weakened discipline squad there not gonna want to take any chances"

"Your right, so what do you propose?"

"I say Matsu hacks into the satellite and blinds them, then a small group creates a diversion in three different parts of the city to distract MBI forces, they will be expecting us to go across the small bridge so we wont do that...well go across one of the bigger ones, that'll be the last thing they expect...as for HOW we get them across, ill take a small crew of elite guys and drive them across in a fast car, if we run into trouble my guys will disembark and engage to hold them off while i get them across"

"Sounds good, but what about the discipline squad? can any guys you get be good enough to hold them off?"

"Maybe not, but that's what our sekirei will handle, they will engage them far enough away from the bridge to get us enough time."

"and how will they get the squad to come out?"

"i believe i can answer that" Homura chimed in.

All heads turned to Homura. "The current squad is a two team, one is Haihane and the other is Benitsubasa. Haihane is a level headed sekirei but Benitsubasa...shes anything but level headed...and she has a BAD temper, all we have to do is call her out and piss her off enough and BOOM...the discipline squad is now fighting us while you escape, by the time their Ashikabi reins them in and calms Benitsubasa down Sora-san will already be across"

Homura looked confident and smug, he was proud of his plan.

Minato nodded and Haruka smiled in approval.

"Well i see were all in approval, so when do we act?"

"When can you get your end ready? like the car, the guys and anything else you need"

"Give me the rest of today, ill be all ready by tomorrow, what about you guys?"

"Me and Kuno ready whenever you guys are ready"

"As am i"

"Alright then, were a go for tomorrow?"

"yes" Both Minato and Haruka said in unison. Sora did his good byes and left with Homura to get the pieces ready for tomorrows escape.

SANADAS HIDEOUT.

Sora turned the corner of the tight alley ways to come in front of the large metal door to Sanadas hideout, Homura flanked his left while Yahan was on the rooftops. He knocked on the door and the little metal slide came open, the face of a large black man appeared. "Jun?"

"Yeah, im here to see Sanada about a favor"

"come on in" The man said with his heavy voice.

Sora and Homura went past the big door guard and navigated the dark halls of the hideout until they reached the main room where Sanada was playing pool by himself while hanging out with his sekirei.

"Oh! Master Master the scary man is here again!" One of the little ones said energetically as she tugged on Sanadas leather jacket.

The well built man looked up to see Sora and smiled, "you don't look like you've come to chill" the biker said sarcastically.

"You'd be right, i need some things"

"What kind of things?"

"An extremely fast car, and four operators who can handle themselves."

"Doable, may i ask for what?"

"you'll find out tomorrow"

"ohhhh mysterious, well when do you need these things by?"

"tonight"

"Fine..."

"Let me guess, how am i going to pay for this?"

"Yes"

"I have enough money...just enough"

"you don't sound to happy about it"

"im not, but it has to be done"

"There's another way..."

"Which is?"

"Follow me"

Sanada placed his pool stick down and went to a small office in the back of the circle room. Sora signaled for Homura to stay, the former host huffed because staying meant he had to play with Sanadas sekirei...they immediately latched onto his long black coat and started playing with it while Sanadas older sekirei teased him on how "cute" he was.

Sora giggled at the antics of his sekirei, he turned and entered the small office to see Sanada pulling some blue prints out of a file drawer.

"You dont have to pay me a dime for the car or the guys, but the catch is i want you on a job i got planning, you have very unique skills Jun-"

"Sora Indigo"

"Excuse me?"

"My name...its Sora Indigo now, its a long story but just call me Sora from now on"

"Alright, sorry i didn't know y-"

"Its fine, so what is this "job"

"Bank Robbery"

Sora coughed. "A bank robbery?"

"Yes, your EXACTLY the kind of man i need for the job, experienced and skilled in every aspect of combat imaginable."

"So you give me the supplies i need and in return i help you rob a bank?"

"Exactly, Me, You, and the four guys im giving you for the job your doing tomorrow, its perfect cause you'll have some experience with them by the time we do the hit on the bank"

"A six man team, sounds good but..."

"But what?"

"Im kinda trying to turn over a new leaf, i made a promise to my sekirei that i wouldn't kill anymore, that i would walk away from THAT life...and its a promise i intend to keep"

Sora sat down on the big couch in the office and relaxed, Sanada sat next to him.

"That's a very admirable thing my friend, but the bank were hitting is an MBI bank, were not gonna kill any innocents...im not a killer, i don't want any one to get hurt...the only people we might have to hurt are the MBI officers who show up, normally it would be the police but like i said...this is an MBI owned bank"

Sora looked at him with interest.

"If all goes well were gonna be in and out of there before MBI shows up, and while were in there were not gonna seriously hurt any of the bank employees or customers, there innocents and we don't hurt innocents, now MBI troops are different but IF we do have to fight it out with them were not gonna stick around, a few rounds here and there and we'll be GONE"

Sora exhaled, Sanada was making this sound alot better than he imagined in his mind.

"Alright suppose i do this, whats the cut?"

"were gonna split whatever we score evenly, no favorites, were all taking a risk so we all get a fair cut of the doe"

"And the details?"

"We'll go over after the thing your doing tomorrow"

Sora thought for minute about this. If he agreed than he wouldn't have to shell out the money for the car or the guys, he could save ALOT. He was getting low on money as it is and he would be taking home even more from the robbery itself, he wouldn't lose a dime...but the flip was obvious...robbing banks was crime...like a BIG time crime. He was a wanted criminal already and its not like they would even know who he was, there's a reason why all bank robbers wear masks...He could help Minato and Haruka, make easy money, and stick it to MBI by hitting a bank they owned...the only problem he saw was the moral dilemma...

Would his sekirei approve? He wasn't gonna kill anyone unless he absolutely had too, and like Sanada said they would only start shooting if MBI showed up before they could escape, and even then they wouldn't be getting into a huge gunfight...they would be escaping, plus he didn't have to KILL any MBI troops, he could go for leg and arm shots...besides anything he could do to piss MBI off was a good thing right?

"Alright ill do it" Sora said firmly after he went over his dilemma in his head.

"Excellent! oh man this is awesome! with you theres no way this can fail!"

"Don't jinx it Sanada"

"Yeah yeah sorry, but seriously man this is great news, ill get you the car and introduce you too the guys you'll be working with tonight, tomorrow you'll do your work and the next day we'll hit the bank, everybody's happy and we all win"

"Hopefully"

"Hahaha well with someone as badass as you im sure it'll be fine"

"i wouldn't say badass..."

"Oh come on don't be modest, everyone in town knows your one BAD motherfucker, now lets drink to celebrate our future success"

"one drink..."

THE DOCKS.

Sanada and Sora pulled up on their bikes and got off to enter the warehouse where Sanada kept the cars Sora was gonna use. The two men plus Homura and Sanadas sekirei walked up to the large warehouse doors and opened them, inside were rows and rows of cars covered in white sheets.

"Well start looking round for the one you want, ill get the boys called up, come one girls let the man have some privacy."

"Yes Master!"

Sora and Homura walked through the rows of cars and peaked under the sheets to see hat they were dealing with. The first thing he wanted was speed, then power and sturdiness. Something like a Lamborghini or a ferrari certainly had the speed part down, but those cars were more built for luxury then for power...no he needed a muscle car, an American muscle car...something with speed but also power and something he could ram through tight spaces if need be.

Sora spotted where Sanada kept the muscle cars and pulled Homura toward them, The flash of something Black caught his eye and he was drawn to a car in the corner of the Warehouse away from the others...Sora pointed to it and Homura went ahead and pulled the sheet off. Sora and Homura looked at each other and smiled.

A Mustang 302 Boss...the perfect blockade runner...it had speed, power, and it was sturdy as hell.

"That's the one" Sora said with a smile, Homura gave him a little elbow nudge at his own excitement, being the classy man that he was Homura could appreciate a nice car.

A few minutes latter Sanada came out and saw Sora and Homura sitting in the seats of the black Mustang.

"haha i knew you would pick that one, funny thing is...that's the car we'll be using for our hit on the bank, so don't mess it up too bad"

"Right, well i can break it in before hand haha"

"hahaha yeah, here let me show you whats shes got under the hood and the modifications i made for her"

The car itself was a newer model, blacked out everything to make it as unflashy as possible. The engine had been modified to put out a whopping 460 horse power, that was pushing it even for a mustang but they needed the extra power to get across the bridge. other than the engine the only other mods to the car were a large reinforced front end bumper to smash through light barricades and side skirts to protect it from side scratching.

Sora and Homura left the warehouse about 30 minutes after they arrived with Sora riding his Motorcycle and Homura driving the car. Yahan followed close behind on the rooftops and arrived about the same time they did.

SORAS APARTMENT.

When they got back they stashed the car in a parking garage close to the house and went inside to rest up before the bid escape tomorrow.

Sora went over the plan several times with his sekirei until everyone knew it by heart, when everyone knew the plan inside and out they ate light and went to bed early. Karasuba and Yume took their places at Soras left and right, the primary positions reserved for the family's head sekirei. Yahan and Shiina took his left and right leg While Homura and Akitsu took the space between his legs, using his crotch as a pillow. Every once in a while Homura would get cute and nuzzle Soras manhood, this would either get Sora to have weird dreams OR he would wake up with a hard on...

Then Homura would either TEASE him till his head was about to explode...or he would be nice and fulfill Soras need by blowing him silently, Homura was good at sucking quietly so nobody would wake up...except Akitsu because she was right next to him...but she never said anything and would sometimes even get in on the action, then it would be a double team with Homura and Akitsu...at which point the family would usually wake up because Sora couldn't keep his moans in...two sekirei working on your package wasn't exactly the easiest thing to keep silent about.

Sora fell asleep feeling like a million bucks, he had his sekirei all around him sleeping soundly and he felt...happy...just happy...the blow he was getting from his fire and ice sekirei helped things out too...but it was mostly cause Sora felt like he finally had a straight line in his life...something he hadn't had in a long time...if ever.
