A/N: Jason will be the perspective person. I will get back to Ren in the next chapter. Now let's go!
Ice Chronicles
Chapter 19: Final Entities Pt. Four
I left the girls to continue sleeping, but when I walked back into the living room, Ren was nowhere to be seen and his sekirei were outside looking at something. The only ones not out there were Uzume, Kazehana, and Matsu. Miya and Takehito were still gone.
"What are you girls looking at?" I asked them. None of them turned their heads.
"We are waiting for master's signal," Akitsu responded. I looked to where they were looking but didn't know what they were talking about.
"Uhh, what signal?" I questioned. "And where is Ren? Shouldn't he be here instead of out there where he can be attacked?"
"That is exactly what we told him, but he managed to convince us," Tskumi said tightening her fist.
"As for the signal, he said that the pole that is half-way between here and our house will represent. If it shakes three times, we are to rush out there as quickly as we can," Yomi explained. I scratched the back of my head.
"Well, how many times did it shake?" I asked.
"Only once; that means he has been stopped," Akitsu told me.
'I don't get it; why would he leave knowing people would target him and his sekirei?' I pondered. 'If he's been stopped, then why haven't they checked up on him?'
"How come you haven't gone to see how's he doing?" I interrogated. They still didn't turn their heads not wanting to miss the signal.
"He only said if it shakes three times, meaning he's in serious trouble and needs our help," Yomi said.
"Are you gonna punish him?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Absolutely," Tskumi and Yomi stated in unison. I looked back at the pole.
"He'll be alright; Ren knows he'll have you girls to deal with if he gets hurt," I told them. I put my hand under my chin and thought of a certain question.
"Also, if you don't mind me asking; how many of you had sex with Ren?"
Tskumi immediately shot her heads towards me blushing brightly. I could see a smile spread across Yomi's face. Musubi just looked confused.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Three of us had sex with Ren; and it felt so good," Yomi stated. "That would be me, Akitsu, and Tskumi; it felt a…ma…zing."
Musubi still looked confused.
"You look muddled Musubi," I pointed out. She put her finger on her chin.
"I still don't know what that means. No one will explain it to me," she said. It actually makes since seeing as what Ren told me how she thinks. She doesn't know all the mature sexual terms so she doesn't know what it means to have sex.
"Well it means," Tskumi then immediately covered my mouth with her hands.
"Do not tell her. If it comes to that, Ren will be the one to explain it," she told me. I nodded yes and she let me go. She stood beside the others and they continued to watch the pole. I just dropped the subject and went back inside. I saw Kagari walking in my direction.
"Hey Kagari what's up?" I asked him. He saw me, but he then scowled.
"Kagari?"
"What's up?" He asked back.
"Is something wrong? You seem a little agitated," I pointed out.
"I'm fine," he snapped back. I flinched a little.
"Well okay then; you didn't have to yell at me," I replied. "You sure you're alright?"
"I told you I'm fine!" He yelled and walked off. I watched him walk off, wondering what his problem is. Takehito and Miya still aren't here yet so I can't ask them. I decided to walk into Matsu's room and ask her.
"Matsu, I need to ask you something," I stated walking into her room. She was sitting in front of her monitors eating a bag of chips.
"Oh, hey Jason what is it?" She asked with a mouthful of chips. I sat down on her futons.
"I want to know; is there something wrong with Kagari? Like, whenever I talk to him, he gets this angry look on his face. He just finished yelling at me when I asked what his problem was," I explained. She fixed her glasses and showed a serious expression.
"I'm sorry Jason, but I can't tell you his problem. Now you're probably thinking; is he mad at me? That's not the case really; but it's true that he's acting that way because of you," she told me. I was confused.
"What do you mean it's because of me?" I questioned. She looked at the ground.
"That's something you need to find out for yourself," she replied. She turned around and went back to the monitors. I left her room and walked back to mine. I kept thinking what she meant.
"What did she mean? The reason Kagari is acting this way is because of me?" I asked out loud. I saw Ikki walk out the door yawning.
"Did you have a good nap Ikki?"
"Yeah, I slept great. Did something happen while I was sleeping?" She asked back.
"Well, Takehito and Miya are still gone, Ren walked off to I don't know where, Ren's sekirei are outside waiting for his 'signal', and I think something is wrong with Kagari," I explained.
"Really? How so?" Ikki questioned. I sighed.
"Honestly, I don't know. I asked him, but he just yelled at me for no reason," I told her. Ikki then turned me around and started pushing towards Kagari's room.
"Ikki, what are you doing?"
"If you're that worried about him then go and talk to him," she said. We made it to his door and was about to open it; until,
"I told you a thousand times Takami that I will not be owned by anyone," Kagari stated. Ikki and I placed our eyes against the door and listened in.
'Who is this Takami person?' I wondered. 'And what did he mean by not being owned by anyone?'
"It won't do any good anyway. Those born of fire origin are destined to be alone. No one can tame the blazing fire," Kagari said.
'Fire? Why is he talking about fire?' I pondered. 'This is getting weirder and weirder by the second.'
"Yes…yes…I know. Then I will just let it consume me. It's his fault I've become this way in the first place," Kagari stated. I listened closer, trying to put two and two together.
"Well he seems busy at the moment so let's just leave him alone and come back later," Ikki spoke up and started walking away.
"Ikki; is there something you're not telling me?" I interrogated. She stopped dead in her tracks, and I proceeded towards her.
"You know something about this don't you?"
She turned around and put on a fake smile.
"No, I don't know anything, hahahaha," she replied nervously. She was about to back away, but I grabbed her arms and pinned her against the wall.
"I need to know Ikki; what was Kagari talking about. I know you know so don't give me any lies," I told her. We looked into each other's eyes, causing a bead of sweat fall down Ikki's face. She looked at the ground.
"If I tell you, what will you do?" She asked. "If I tell you about Kagari, what can you do?"
I thought about her question.
"I can probably help him," I responded. She shook her head no.
"You don't know what he's going through. He especially won't accept your help," Ikki replied.
"Why's that?" I questioned. She looked at the ground again and stayed silent.
"Ikki; I'm not as smart as Ren when it comes to figuring things out, but I know when there's something wrong with a friend and loved one," I spoke up. She continued to look at the ground and sighed. Ikki looked up at me.
"Kagari…is reacting to you," she told me. My eyes widened at her words. I let go of her arms and placed mine next to her so she was in between them.
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
"I mean he's reacting to you; Kagari is having a reaction to you like the rest of us did," she explained.
"Like the rest of you? Then that means,"
"Yes Jason, Kagari is a sekirei as well. Also known as sekirei no. 6 Homura," Ikki revealed. "Do you remember that person who was with Ku and me when you rescued Kuno?"
I thought about that day and could barely see someone in black shooting fireballs. I nodded yes and finally put everything together.
"So you mean; the one who saved me, Ren, and Kuno…was Kagari?" I asked.
"Mmm-hmm, it was thanks to him that we managed to find you three. It was after winging Kuno that he started to react to you; and now he's starting to become the way his ashikabi desires," Ikki told me. She cupped my cheeks and made me look at her.
"Now that you know this Jason, what are you going to do?"
"I…I don't know," I replied.
"Here's a suggestion; talk to him. Right now he needs your help," Ikki said. She gave me a quick kiss and left me alone. I sighed and walked back to Kagari's door. I knocked on it.
"Kagari, are you in there?" I asked. There was no answer so I knocked again.
"Kagari? Can you hear me?"
There was still no answer.
"I'm coming in then."
I opened the door and saw no one inside. The room was completely empty, but the window however was open. I proceeded inside and scanned the room. Then suddenly, I heard a phone going off. There was one on Kagari's bed that read Tamaki on the ID.
"It's the person he was talking to earlier."
I answered the phone out of curiosity.
"Hello?"
"WAIT! Kagari don't do anything stupid!" The person screamed. I pulled the phone away from my ear. After a moment, I put the phone back to my ear.
"Uhh, this isn't Kagari," I told Takami.
"What? Then who is this?" Takami asked. The voice sounded feminine and a little demonic in my opinion.
"My name is Jason," I introduced.
"Jason? As in the Jason that lives in Takehito's inn?" She asked.
"Yes ma'am," I replied. She groaned.
"Then maybe you can help me. Where is Kagari?" Takami questioned.
"Um, he's not here; and I don't know where he went," I answered.
"That idiot; I bet he's going to MBI," she replied.
'MBI? He's really going there?' I wondered. 'But why?'
"So what do you want me to do?" I asked.
"Listen, I hope you're aware of this, but you are the only one who can help him," Takami stated.
"Is it because he's reacting me?" I asked.
"Yes, that's one of the reasons. Another is because of his condition," she answered.
"Condition?" I questioned.
"Mmm-hmm, while Kagari is already a powerful pre-emerged sekirei, he can't control his powers most of the time. His powers sometime run wild and he loses control of them. If anything, he will melt away if he isn't stabilized soon," Takami explained. "He's using that to put an end to Minaka."
"And the only way to stabilize him would be to wing him?" I asked her.
"It's possible, but I don't know for sure. So will you help? I know it will be hard to do since he's a man with a now female body," she pointed out.
"I'll admit, it may be hard at first; but if there's a slim chance at saving him, then I'll do what I can," I answered. I heard her sigh in relief.
"Great; thank you. Now listen, I will send you his coordinates. All you have to is stop him before he gets himself killed," she said. On cue, I somehow received a map with a red blinking dot moving at a fast pace.
"The blinking dot is Kagari. You have to hurry."
"Yes ma'am," I replied and we hung up the phone. I tossed the phone on the bed and hurried to my room. I slammed the door open, scaring the hell out of the girls, whom were playing cards.
"Jason, what's the matter?" Ikki asked. The girls stood up and gathered around.
"Alright listen, I know you girls just woke up but we have something important to do. Kagari needs our help right now," I told them.
"Hold on; you need to explain what's wrong," Ikki stated.
"Kagari is headed for MBI at this very moment. I was told by Takami that his powers may run wild and burn him up. She wants us to go after him and help him before it is too late," I elaborated. "Takami sent me the coordinates now all we have to do is go after him."
"I have to ask Jason; how will going after Kagari help him?" Ikki asked. I placed my hand over my face and sighed.
"Big brother?" Ku called out.
"I'm gonna have to wing him," I stated. "That should stabilize his powers so he will have better control of it. So will you girls help me?"
All six smiled.
"You didn't even have to ask," Ikki stated.
"Alright; let's move out!" I exclaimed.
A/N: I decided to end the chapter off here. I feel like it was the right thing to do. I hope you enjoy this chapter. I'm sorry that it's so short, but I will get to the main part in Jason's next perspective chapter. Some things; first, some people want Haihane to be with Jason. Well I'm sorry but it's not happening. Second, I already know who the remaining sekirei are going to be so please don't send in suggestions about that. I also still need a punishment for Ren from his sekirei. I have one for Yomi, Tskumi, and Musubi, but I need one for the others. Remember, something reasonable; and I am still looking for chapter ideas. I have one for the next one already. That's about it so this has MalevolentDarkness16 and I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.
