Ice Chronicles
Chapter 3: Liquid Ice
I woke up to the sun shining through the windows. I checked the time and saw it was eight in the morning. I stretched my arms out and let out a big yawn, but when I put them back down, I felt something really plush and soft. My face started to turn red from what I think it was. I squeezed it softly, eliciting a soft feminine moan. Slowly, I turned my head and I blushed brighter. Sleeping beside me was my sekirei, Akitsu, who for some reason is completely naked; and my hand was squeezing her ample bosom. I quickly removed my hand and moved back, but I fell off my bed and hit the floor. The ruckus caused Akitsu to rise from her slumber. She looked over the bed and saw me on the floor.
"Master Ren, why are you on the floor?" She asked innocently.
12 Hours Ago
Akitsu and I have kissed for the first time, making me her ashikabi.
"My ashikabi now and forever."
"I'm glad to have you by my side Akitsu. Let's win this contest together," I replied. She gave me a short nod.
"Yes, Master Ren," Akitsu said.
'Master?' I pondered.
"Please don't call me master. Ren is just enough," I told her.
"Yes Master Ren," Akitsu repeated.
'Sigh, this is gonna take a while.' I said in my head. I stood up and took a look outside. Snow was still falling, but it will soon be spring.
"Is something wrong master?" Akitsu asked as she walked forward.
"Take a look outside Akitsu," I answered. She stood beside me and we watched the snow fall together.
"Out there Akitsu are 107 other sekirei. I hate it that you have to fight your sisters and I guess brothers if there are any males. This game master must be really sadistic if he actually enjoys this slaughter. Speaking of which, Akitsu, judging by what you said about the plan, an ashikabi can have as many sekirei as he or she wants. That means that other sekirei will react to me just like you. Does it bother you that you will have to share me with your sisters?"
She placed her hands on my chest and her head on my shoulders.
"As long as I'm useful to my master, I don't mind you having other sekirei," Akitsu told me. I returned her hug and put more thoughts on this plan.
'I can tell I've just entered something dangerous, but I have faith in Akitsu. If I get more sekirei, then I'll have faith in them too,' I thought. I released Akitsu from our hug and looked at my first sekirei.
"It's getting late Akitsu. Why don't I show you your room?" I asked. She just gave me a nod. I brought her down the hall and showed her the rooms. Her room was just across from mine and consisted of a queen sized bed, flat screen TV, closet, and a dresser.
"You can sleep in this room. If you need something, I'm directly across from you. I'll see you in the morning, okay?"
She nodded yes and I gave her a kiss goodnight. I went to my room, put on my favorite blue pajamas, and went to sleep. While asleep, I had a dream where I was standing on the roof of a building. I just looked around, but I didn't see anyone not even Akitsu. That's when I heard someone shout,
"I have found thee!"
I quickly turned around and saw a very beautiful woman standing on the edge of the roof with crossed arms. She had long flowing blond hair and sparkling blue eyes. She wore a black dress with a white underdress that shows off a lot of cleavage. A black chocker was wrapped her neck. She was wearing long brown boots with black stockings.
"I have finally found thee. Now I can kill you before you have the opportunity to violate me. Prepare to die!" She yelled angrily. She raised her hand and water immediately started swirling around it.
'She's commanding the water. Is she also a sekirei?' I wondered. She pointed her hand at me.
"Water Celebration!" She shouted and the water shot out at incredible speed. I somehow managed to dive out of the way, but I saw her about to release another blast.
"Hold still monkey!"
"Hold on, I don't why you're angry, but maybe you have the wrong guy," I tried pleading.
"That's a lie! I know I have the right person. Why else would I react to a lowly monkey?" She questioned.
'Now calling people monkeys is just rude. I don't know what she's angry about, but maybe.' I thought. I slowly walked forward with my hands up like I was about to block something.
"Now I know you're angry, but maybe we can just talk this out. I know that you're a sekirei and all I want to do is help," I stated.
"Liar! All you ashikabi want to violate your sekirei and enslave us. Well I have no need for an ashikabi. I will not let some lowly monkey have his way with me and to make sure you won't, I will kill you right where you stand," she responded. The water began swirling again, but this time, its shape morphed into a dragon.
'Oh shit," I said in my head. 'I'm fucked."
"Water Dragon!" She exclaimed. The dragon roared as it charged at its target.
Present
I'm still on the floor, looking at my first sekirei. That dream still stayed in my mind, but Akitsu's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Are you hurt master?" she asked.
'And she still calls me master," I thought.
"Akitsu, two questions; first, why are you in my bed?" I asked back.
"I heard you in your sleep and checked up on you, so I stayed here to protect you," she replied with the expressionless face.
"Okay, now second; why are you naked!?" I questioningly exclaimed. She blinked at me and looked herself.
"I guess I undressed myself and forgot," she replied. She then looked back at me as I stood up.
"Well please put some clothes on for both our sakes," I stated with a bright blush on my face. She nodded and put her kimono back on.
'I'm glad I have good self-control because I would not be able to control myself if I found her like this last night. Speaking of which, that dream,' I said in my head. I turned back to Akitsu, who thankfully have her clothes on.
"Hey, Akitsu, is it possible to meet sekirei in your dreams?" I asked.
"Yes, it is possible. When a sekirei reacts, it can reveal their ashikabi in their dreams. Why do you ask? Did you have a dream about a sekirei?" Akitsu asked back. I nodded and told her what happened as I made breakfast.
"That was sekirei no. 9, Tskumi, the water sekirei. She's notorious for her hatred of ashikabis and will do anything to prevent having one. Knowing that what are you going to do master?" She asked. I thought about it for a while and I came up with an answer.
"We're going to find Tskumi and confront her. Maybe we can get her to join us; if she doesn't kill me first," I stated.
"As you wish master," Akitsu replied.
'Sigh, I give up,' I thought. After we ate breakfast, we went into town and started our search for Tskumi. We searched for an hour until I heard something in the air.
"Move vile monkey!"
That's when I turned and saw something fall out of the sky. I could only catch a glimpse of it before I sidestepped out of the way. Two girls wearing what seem to be S&M costumes landed in front of me.
"Damn! I didn't think she was a single number, but maybe if we catch her off guard, we can beat her," the one wearing violet stated. That's when something else fell and crashed into me. I opened my eyes and saw Akitsu standing over me. My head was pounding, but what I wanted to know is what crashed into me.
"Grrr, damn! Where did those two cowards run off to?"
I sat up while holding my head.
"Are you okay Master Ren?" Akitsu asked.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine, but what hit me?" I questioned. She pointed her finger and I followed its point. I turned my head and my eyes caught that long flowing blond hair and feminine figure. I stood up and got the person's attention. I smiled once I knew it was the woman in my dreams, but when our eyes met, she suddenly dropped to her knees and pink blush appeared on her face.
"This feeling, it can only mean. You! You've come to violate me haven't you? Now that you've found me you expect to wing me and make me your slave," she stated. Before anything else could happen, a lightning bolt flew at us. Akitsu grabbed my arm and pulled me back before it hit the ground and created a hole.
"Where did that come from?" I asked.
"Up there master," Akitsu pointed out. On top of a nearby building were the two girls that fell out of the sky. From their appearance, they looked like twins. They intertwined their finger and more electricity started generating from their fingers.
"Akitsu prepare the ice shield," I told her.
"As you wish," she replied. The twins released the lightning, but Akitsu conjured up the ice barrier and blocked the attack. The barrier dispersed and tons of tiny ice shards floated in midair. I raised my hand, signaling her not to attack.
"Hold on Akitsu, don't attack until I say first," I said. "Keep the shards, but wait first."
"Yes master," she replied. The girls jumped down from the building and landed across from us. The violet one stepped forward.
"You! Are you no. 9's ashikabi?" She asked.
"No I am not, but I know she's reacting to me," I replied smiling. The woman gritted her teeth and stood by her sister's side.
"Is that so? Then we'll terminate her before she can be winged. Come on Hibiki!" she stated.
"Are you sure about this Hikari?" Hibiki, the calmer one asked.
"I'm sure we can take them," Hikari replied. They fired more lightning, but I signaled for Akitsu to fire the shards, deflecting the lightning. They released barrages of lightning bolts, which managed to break some of Akitsu's shards. Some deflected off the shards and flew towards me, but I jumped out of the way in time; however, one came too close enough to dodge. A second before it hit, a stream of water intercepted the blast and conducted the lightning.
My gaze turned to Tskumi since she's the most likely candidate.
"Thanks for your help Tskumi," I stated smiling. She turned her head embarrassed, but couldn't hide the blush on her face. The twins fired another round, but one flew at Tskumi while she wasn't looking. I ran as quickly as I could, dodging the lightning that came my way. I pushed her out of the way right before she got electrocuted. She landed on top of me, making her blush intensely when she noticed our position.
"Are you okay Tskumi?" I asked. She nodded her head slowly.
"Wh-Why did you save me?" She asked. I smiled at her and gently rubbed her cheek. She didn't slap my hand away or suddenly jump in surprise.
"I did it because you're my sekirei. That's all the reason I need," I replied smiling. Her eyes widened and her blush became brighter. She got off of me and sat with her hands in front of her chest. I looked at Akitsu, who was overpowering the lightning twins.
"I suggest you two leave. My master already has no. 9, so your chance is gone," Akitsu told them. The twins stood up and canceled their lightning charge.
"Huff, huff, you may have won this time, but you haven't seen the last of us," Hibiki stated. The twins jumped away, jumping from rooftop to rooftop. I sighed with relief after they disappeared and stood on my feet. I held out my hand for Tskumi. She nervously reached for it and placed her palm on mine. I pulled her up and put my free hand on top of hers. She gasped in surprise, but again she didn't pull back.
"Tskumi, I want to thank you for saving me like that. I really thought it was over for me. Seriously, thank you," I said. She turned her head once more.
"D-Don't think this means anything; I just didn't want someone to do what I intended," she replied.
"Tskumi, I know you have a hatred for ashikabis, but I can promise you that if you give me a chance, then I can show you how much I care for you," I told her. Tskumi's eyes widened as she turned her head back at me. I cupped her cheek with my hand and looked her in the eyes.
"Tskumi, will you be my sekirei?"
She didn't say a word and looked down at the ground.
"Come with me Tskumi. I won't force you to, but I want you to be my sekirei."
She looked back up at me and pretended to look angry like normally did.
"V-Very well, I accept your marriage proposal," she replied with crossed arms.
'Huh? Marriage proposal?' I pondered, but didn't care. I leaned closer, making our eyes meet closer.
"Thank you, Tskumi," I whispered. I pressed my lips to hers. I opened my eyes and saw bright blue wings flashing from Tskumi. It was really beautiful and soothing. I broke the kiss and looked at my new sekirei with a smile.
"My ashikabi now and forever," Tskumi stated. "I welcome my new husband."
