Ice Chronicles

Chapter 30: Hesitation

I'm going to do something new and go into third person; it'll be easier for me that way. Enjoy, my friends.

Ren and Kazehana were walking back to the inn hand in hand. They did wake up earlier, but Kazehana wanted to go a few more rounds and they stayed longer. She was smiling happily while Ren was breathing a little heavier.

"Are you okay darling?" She asked him.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired," Ren replied. Kazehana giggled and linked her arm with his.

"Last night was so amazing that I wanted to experience it again," she cooed. "So, who's next on your list?"

Ren chuckled and scratched his cheek.

"Well, that all depends on the others. Matsu is supposed to be next if I remember correctly," he said. Kazehana rubbed her head against his arm lovingly.

"Mmm, I don't care if you have sex with the others. I just don't want to be left out," she said.

"Don't worry; I would never ignore any of you," Ren reassured. Kazehana nuzzeled her head on his arm.

"You were such a beast last night," she stated. "I felt so loved."

They continued walking, enjoying the nice weather as Kazehana kept rewarding Ren with kisses.

Jason

Jason and the others were sitting around, waiting for Ren and Kazehana to return. Miya and Takehito were sitting on the porch, enjoying their time. Toyotama was making a big fuss about going out with Ren. She wanted to go sooner than last, but Matsu and Uzume refused to give up their spots, especially Matsu.

"Oh come on guys, please?" Toyotama begged.

"We told you; we're not rearranging the order," Matsu replied. "So just stop begging already."

"I'll stop if you let me go ahead of you," she offered.

"No!" Matsu and Uzume yelled. Tskumi crossed her arms.

"Neither of you will be going," she stated.

"Hey! Who died and made you queen?" Toyotama stated.

"Hmph, I am Ren's true wife and I am the only who he should make love to," she responded. That caused Yomi to burst out laughing.

"Well then, if you are his wife, then why is Ren out with another woman?" She questioned. Tskumi couldn't come up with a retort and only stuttered.

"What about the rest of us? He went out and had sex with the rest of us, or have you forgotten about that?"

Tskumi still couldn't come up with a retort. Jason and his sekirei were listening in on the conversation. Ku was confused on what they were talking about, mostly because Jason had her ears covered.

"Hey Jason," Ikki called out.

"Yeah," he answered.

"Why haven't you taken us out yet?" She asked. Jason perked up at the question. He scratched the side of his face.

"Well, it's not that I don't want to. It's just," he started.

"Just?" Homura said. Jason turned his head and blushed a little. He covered Kusano's ears again.

"Let me ask you all a question. Have you ever thought about having sex with me?" He asked.

"We wouldn't be confronting you about this if we never thought about it," Ikki said. Jason looked at Homura.

"Then what about you Homura? How do you feel about it?" He asked.

"Honestly, I haven't figured that out yet," she said scratching the back of her head. "I mean yes, my point of view has changed ever since I've changed; but I haven't yet come to a conclusion about this."

Jason sighed as Kusano struggled to remove his hands from her ears.

"And what about the rest of you? Nanami, Shi, Yashima, Kaho, Kuno, how do you feel about it?" He asked them. They all looked at each other.

"What about you Jason? Haven't you figured out that answer already. Is there any other reason why we would be asking you this?" Kaho asked. The others nodded with her.

"Sigh, I guess not," Jason said. He smiled and looked at his first sekirei.

"Then Ikki; I want you."

She gasped and turned red.

"Jason; I-I would be happy to," she said emabarrased. Kaho was the first to speak up.

"Hold on; why does she get to go first?" She questioned. The others, except Homura closed in on him.

"Now hold on girls; I chose Ikki because she was my first sekirei. I've known her longer than I've known the rest of you. I think it's only fitting when you think about it," he explained.

"And what about us?" Kaho asked. Jason scratched his head.

"Uh, I'll let you girls decide that. I'm not good at making decisions like this," he told them. The girls looked at each other. Metaphorically, there was lightning coming out of their eyes. Jason finally let go Kusano, and she demanded that they tell her about their conversation; but they refused.

That's when everyone heard the door open and close.

"We're back," someone stated. The eager half of Ren's sekirei shot up and ran to the door while the laid-back half stayed back and laughed at the situation. Jason left his sekirei to think while he checked on the Ashikabi of the North. Jason saw Ren and Kazehhana at the door being showered with questions from Tskumi.

'I wonder if Ren can help me out.' Jason thought. Matsu explained to Ren what they've decided about the arrangements. Toyotama still tried to convince Matsu and Uzume to let her go ahead of them, but they still refused. Tskumi scolded Ren about going out with other women and he should only be doing such things with her only. The eager half then got into another tug-o-war with him. Jason did managed to break up the war.

"Ren; I know you just got back, but I need to talk to you about something," he said.

"Can it wait a bit Jason?" Ren asked back. Jason shook his head.

"It's a man to man talk," he stated. Ren immediately perked up.

"Sorry girls, but we'll have to finish this later," he told them. He and Jason started walking away, but Ren looked back at his sekirei.

"And if any of you listen in on this, then I will give every fiber of my being to my hydra and let it do the scolding. Is that understood?"

They nodded and lightly blushed at his sense of authority. The two walked to Jason's room, where he opened the window to let some air in. Jason leaned against the sill while Ren leaned against the wall next to him.

"So Jason, why did you want to talk about?"

Jason sighed.

"Well first off, I'm still thinking about the next phase. Sooner or later, it'll be you and me fighting. Sigh, and I don't have it in me to fight you, especially since you're a strategic nerd. Actually, scratch that; you're a nerd in general," he said.

"Is this really what you wanted to talk about?" Ren questioned. Jason laughed at him.

"Sorry, sorry; but I do have something important to ask. It's about my sekirei. They asked me about having sex with them and why haven't I taken them out on dates," he stated.

"Why haven't you?" Ren asked wanting to know the answer. Jason sighed.

"It's not that I don't want to; I really do. But, I'm nervous; I don't know the fundamentals. I don't know how to pleasure a woman, especially seven. Well six excluding Homura."

Ren nodded in understanding.

"Wait, why exclude Homura?" He asked.

"A man who turns into a woman ends up having sex with another man; I bet she would have trouble coping with that," Jason explained.

"Yeah, you do have a point. Also I've been meaning to ask but was too scared to. Is it gone now?" Ren asked. Jason did a comedic fall.

"Why are you asking me that?" Jason interrogated. Ren chuckled nervously.

"Well, Homura turned into a girl, so I figured it would change too. Do you know?" he said. Jason sighed and face palmed himself.

"I refuse to ask," he replied. "But be serious with me; how did you feel when you first had sex with Akitsu? Were you nervous?"

Ren looked out the window, thinking of his first time with Akitsu.

"I won't go into details, but I can tell you that I was nervous. Even with the others, I still became nervous because I kept thinking how I could properly pleasure them. I kept thinking what if I couldn't love them right; but, I somehow managed. I even learned something," he revealed.

"What was it?" Jason asked. Ren smirked and continued looking out the window. He could see Akitsu standing outside, letting the wind brush past her.

"I learned that sekirei get stronger from having sex with their ashikabi; and I'm not saying go wild. I mean that your heart and your sekirei's heart become one and a new power is unlocked. One that can't be gained through training; but through the strong bond between sekirei and ashikabi," he stated. Jason smiled at his speech.

"Well when you put it that way, it sounds like I've been keeping my sekirei from awakening their true potential," he said.

"Don't think of it like that. Think of it as being unaware of their true potential," Ren replied. "So, what are you going to do now?"

Jason found Ikki outside sitting on the porch, enjoying the weather. The wind was blowing through her hair, causing her to smile and move her hand to keep her hair down.

"I love Ikki; and I want to try my best for her and the others. I also don't want any of them taken away from me. I feel different when I'm with Ikki though. Yes, I love the others too, but Ikki has always been the one I needed most," he answered.

"Yeah, I know how you feel," Ren sympathized.

"Sigh, that's basically all I wanted to talk about. Thanks for hearing me out," Jason said. Ren patted his shoulder.

"You can thank me by going out with Ikki tonight. Show her how much you really love her; I know she'll love the chance to spend time with you," he told him. Jason looked back out the window, watching Ikki.

"Yeah, it's best if I say what I need to say before it's too late," he responded. Ren wrapped his arm around Jason's neck, playfully chocking him.

"You sneaky bastard; I never thought you would get the jump on me," he replied. Ren let him go and held up a fist.

"Don't be scared and go for it," he stated. Jason smiled and nodded. The two bumped knuckles and walked out the room. Surprisingly, no one was listening in, but Ren wanted to see what his sekirei are doing. Jason on the other hand, went outside where Ikki was sitting. She and the rest of his sekirei were enjoying the wether. Homura however, was the only one not out there.

"Girls," Jason called out. His sekirei heard him and smiled happily upon his arrival. Ku immediately did her routine of hugging his leg.

"Listen, I have something I need to talk to Ikki about."

She pointed at herself while the others looked at her. Jason smiled at her nodded. He held his hand out for her to take, and she nervously complied.

"Hold on Jason; why do you need to talk to her in private. Are you mad at any of us?" Kaho asked. Jason shook his head.

"I'm not mad at any of you, far from it. There's just one thing I have to tell Ikki; and I can say it better if it's just us two. So please, don't try to eavesdrop. Can you all promise me that?" He questioned. The girls looked at each other and then back to their ashikabi.

"We promise," they said, except for Ku who was flailing her arms in jealousy. Jason ruffled her hair.

"Don't worry Ku; big brother is only going to talk to your big sister, but it has to be in private. It won't be as special if all of you hear it; but I'll tell you all later," he told her. Ku pouted and growled a little like normally, but she finally complied. Ikki followed Jason to his room, unaware that Homura was aware of what Jason wanted to say. She walked outside to the others and leaned against the door.

"Jason seemed more confident lately don't you think?" Shi asked.

"Yeah,what do you think Homura?" Kaho asked. She smirked.

"Well, our Jason is finally becoming a man," she stated. The girls were confused.

"Hmhmhm, just wait; you'll see what I mean."

Ikki and Jason were in his room. Jason was gathering his thoughts.

"Jason, are you okay? You seem nervous; you know you can tell me anything," Ikki stated. Jason looked up at his first sekirei. He took a deep breath and grabbed her hand.

"Ikki; I love you," he stated. Ikki blushed a little.

"I love you too Jason. But is that really all you wanted to say?" She asked. Jason shook his head.

"I've known you for a long time now Ikki and I'm glad you've been with me for so long," he stated.

"Well of course I would stay with you; I am your sekirei," she pointed out.

"Yes; but if you were human, and we met for the first time, would you still fall in love with me?" He asked. Ikki cupped Jason's cheek.

"Jason; is there something you want to tell me. You're acting a bit strange," she said.

"That doesn't answer my question," Jason stated. She smiled at him after seeing how bright his fire is blazing.

"Yes," she stated. "I would have definitely fallen in love with you."

He smiled upon hearing her answer. Jason slowly reached into his pocket, but Ikki didn't seem to notice.

"Ikki; I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I've finally decided," he said. Jason took another deep breath and continued.

"I want to be with you forever. I want us to be together forever. If we were to separate, I wouldn't be able to handle it. I need you Ikki; I don't want you, I need you. You have always been there for me; and now it's time for me to be there for you. I love you Ikki."

She was taken back by his words. Ikki had her hand in front of her chest and her cheeks were bright red.

"Jason," she whispered. She gasped and expaneded her eyes when she realized something.

"Jason, are you?"

He intertwined their fingers. Slowly, Jason closed the distance between them, and Ikki followed. She started closing her eyes and put her free hand on Jason's shoulder. The two kissed, casuing Ikki's wings to grow and light the room. Throughout the kiss, the two conveyed their feelings for each other. When they broke the kiss, Ikki took the inititive and kissed him again. Jason cupped her cheek to keep her in a certain spot. Softly, she let out a moan. Their hands separated and they wrapped them around their respective parts, Ikki's around Jason's neck, and Jason's around Ikki's waist. They separated again and gazed into each other's eyes.

"Ikki, will you marry me?" Jason announced.

In Matsu's room, Ren was listening in to the whole thing. By playing around with her monitors, he can now listen in on things going around the inn. He saw Ikki hug Jason, and they fell back continuing to kiss.

"Hm, so he finally popped the question. Atta boy Jason; I won't be nosy and turn that monitor off," he said turning off the audio. On the monitor, Jason and Ikki were walking out the room hand in hand. Ren already had a general idea of where they'll be going.

"Well, can't wait to see how the others are gonna react to this."

He stared at the monitors, wondering what all he can do.

"No way, you can watch TV, play games, everything."

Ren kept playing around until he found something that caught his eye. There were a few folders that looked suspicious, but they were locked.

"Locked; and Matsu is the only one with the codes. Oh well, its probably something inappropriate."

That's when someone entered the room and saw Ren at the monitors.

"Ren; what are you doing in my room?" Matsu asked. He turned to his brain-type.

"Ah Matsu, perfect timing; I need to ask you something," he said. She sat down in front of him.

"What is it?" She asked. Ren scooted closer and whispered in her ear,

"When would you like to have our night together?"

She smiled and blushed. She then pinned Ren down and hovered above him.

"You brave soul you; we can experiment mow since you mention it," she whispered. She was about to close in on Ren; until a hanya mask appeared between them. The color faded from Matsu as she and Ren saw Takehito at the door.

"If I recall, hugging and kissing were the only contact allowed. Intimacy of Matsu's thinking is strictly forbidden," he reminded them.

"Sorry Takehito; you can blame me for that," Ren said. He subdued the aura, returning the atmospehere to normal.

"Well, I'll make this quick. Seo wants to see younamd Jason for whatever reason," he informed. "He's downstairs waiting. Come see him when you're done…bonding."

Takehito left the two alone, making Matsu passionately press her lips to her ashikabi. Her entire room was filled an orange light. When the kissvwas broken Matsu whispered in Ren's ear,

"The day we have sex will be the happiest day of my life. I'm going to warn you now, I want it hard."

Ren laugh halfheartedly and kissed her again.

"Hmhm, you're starting to turn me on. Kiss me again," she demanded. Ren honored her demand and kissed her once more. Before he left, she waved and winked at him. When he was out of sight, Matsu squealed excitedly. At the bottom of the stairs, Ren flinched at an angry Tskumi, who had her arms crossed.

"We are not discussing your betrayals," she said. Ren sweatdropped.

"I haven't betrayed anyone," he stated. Tskum pointed at him.

"You have betrayed someone. You've betrayed me," she stated. Ren sighed.

"Tskumi, how many times have I told you that my other sekirei deserve my affections as well?"

She turned to the side, and Ren put his hand on her shoulder.

"Tskumi, why is it so hard for you to accept the others? Do you not care about the others?"

"That's not it; I am fond of the others," she replied. Ren titled her head to look at him.

"Then why do you deny them their love? Do you not want them to be happy?"

She shook her head no.

"I do want them to be happy, but,"

Ren put his finger on her lips.

"No buts Tskumi; you promised a long time ago that you would reconsider your thinking. Did you not?"

She looked away from him.

"I did promise."

Ren turned her his way and hugged her.

"Remember Tskumi; I will always love you. Just because I have eight sekirei doesn't mean my feelings for you won't change. I mean it."

"Then will I always have a place in your heart?" she asked. Ren kissed her forehead.

"Of course; but I want you to take what I said in consideration."

"Okay," Tskumi replied. Ren kissed her this time.

"I love you Tskumi."

"I love you too," she replied. Ren walked into the dining room, where he found Seo fast asleep, snoring.

"Uhh, Seo?" He called out. Miya touched his shoulder and walked passed him.

"Miya, what are you."

"Shhh," she said. Out of nowhere, she pulled out a giant boulder. Ren slowly stepped back and watched as Miya slammed the boulder on Seo.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed and jumped up. He repeatedly turned his head and saw Miya with her hanya showing.

"I don't recall giving you permission to sleep in my inn," she stated. He rubbed his head and found Ren laughing.

"This is your fault you know. What took you so long?" Seo questioned.

"Sekirei," Ren replied. Seo sighed.

"Well whatever, where's the kid?"

"He's out with his fiancée ," Ren stated.

"He's out with his SAY WHAT! Fiancée? Since when?" Seo interrogated.

"Ever since this morning," Ren replied. Seo just scratched his head.

"Then you come with me; I have something I need to show you."

Ren followed Seo until they reached an alleyway. It was a big alleyway that people could even fight freely in.

"Seo, why did you bring me here?" Ren asked. Seo stopped and turned towards Ren.

"Let me ask you something; if you were fighting an enemy, would you be soft and let them go, or would you man up and terminate them?"

"Why are bringing this up now?" Ren questioned.

"Just answer the question," Seo demanded. Ren just shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know really; it depends on the situation."

"Yeah, I knew you was going to say something like that," Seo replied. "However, during that situation, would you terminate your enemy?"

Ren thought about his question, thinking about all the battles he and his sekirei have been through. When he really thought about it, there was really no problems with terminating his enemy.

"Honestly Seo, there hasn't been any troubles with terminating; however, I do not condone separtating a sekirei from their ashikabi. Unless, I meet an ashikabi who treats their sekirei like crap and abuses them."

Seo nodded his head in understanding. He turned back around.

"Then keep following me; and see if you change your thinking."

Ren continued to follow Seo until they found a group of people. There were two guys and about five girls. The guy with his back turned to Seo and Ren is the Ashikabi of the West, Sanada. With him were the three girls Jason saw during his Homura mission. The other guy had two sekirei, and from the looks of it, both teams were locked in battle.

"What is this?" Ren asked.

"A sekirei battle," Seo replied. "Minaka setup a match between those two, and I wanted you and the kid to witness one for the first time."

Ren leaned against the wall.

"So Minaka setup a match between the Ashikabi of the West and some random competitor. Since you're showing me this, I assume Takehito told you about me wanting to talk to Minaka about the plan."

Seo nodded his head and took out a picture then handed it to Ren.

"He told your uncle, who told me and wanted me to guve you this picture. This is what happened to the last people who tried to talk Minaka out of the plan."

When Ren received the picture, his eyes widened in shock. In the picture, two bodies were on the ground stacked on top of each other. Blood was splattered on the floor, soaking the corpses in its crimson pigment. Upon closer inspection, Ren could see that the victims' were completely decapitated and their limbs amputated. Ren looked even closer and saw someone walking out the door. He saw a sword leaving a trail of blood and someone with a wicked smiled across their lips.

"Karasuba," Ren stated. "That means if I go down there, I'll die."

"Do you get it now? You won't be able to talk your way out of this one. You either fight, or you die; you can't escape," Seo stated. Ren took a picture of the photo and sent it to Jason, telling him what Seo said.

In a hotel room, Jason was watching the match from a live view thanks to Takehito. He was sitting on the bed while Ikki was kneeling behind him, watching along with her hands on his shoulder, her ring on her finger. He received the photo and message from Ren and narrowed his eyes in disgust.

"You okay honey?" Ikki asked. He placed his palm on top of hers.

"I'm okay; it's just the way the photo was depicted," he replied. "What Ren said, do you believe the same thing."

Ikki hugged her fiancé and kissed his cheek.

"I know you don't like hurting people; and killing someone is out of the question. While I do believe what Ren said, I also believe that you do the right thing. True, you shouldn't hesitate when fighting, but you shouldn't let your feelings blind you. The enemy will try to trick you; and if you hesitate, you'll be the one getting hurt."

Jason sighed.

"I understand what you're saying, but I don't think I have it in me."

Ikki took the phone away and put it on the nightstand beside them.

"Ikki, what are you,"

Ikki pressed her lips to his, silencing him. The room was light by her wings's light. She broke the kiss and then gave him a little peck.

"Let's not worry about that now," she said. She held her hand with the ring on it.

"Today is just you and me; we're not going to let some fight ruin our day together. Now give me a kiss."

Jason complied and kissed his fiancée, making her wings form again. Ikki positioned herself on his lap and cupped his cheeks.

"Jason, tonight, I want you to make love to me. Let's establish our love here and now."

They kissed again with more passion. Jason took the lead and placed Ikki on her back gently while still kissing her. She let out a soft moan and wrapped her arms around Jason's neck, deepening the kiss. They separated and looked into each other's lustful eyes.

"Ikki; I'm not sure on what I'm supposed to do," Jason warned her. She pulled him closer.

"Use your instincts," she whispered. Jason nodded and kissed her neck.

"Ahh," she moaned softly. Jason planted gentle kisses on her neck, moved to her cheek, and licked her earlobe.

"Oh baby."

Jason licked down her neck and kissed her lips again. He poked the entrance of her mouth, wanting entrance. Ikki happily complied and let him enter her mouth. He teased her tongue with his and pushed deeper to deepen the kiss. Ikki couldn't keep her voice down and moaned louder from the kiss. She teased back and broke the kiss, as they kissed with tongue. They separtated all together.

"That was the best kiss we've ever shared," Ikki shared. Jason nodded in agreement and kissed the tip of her nose. He placed his hand over her left breast, gently massaging it. She moaned more and whispered his name as she held him close. He moved his other hand around her body, feeling her butt. She giggled a little.

"You naughy boy, touching my butt," she teased. Jason gently squeezed her ass and pulled her shirt from over her breast. He saw how hard her nipples have turned and rubbed his thumb over it. She gasped sharply and moaned out his name again. He then took her breast in his mouth and licked her erect nipples.

"Your nipples are hard Ikki," Jason whispered.

"You're the one making them hard," she whispered back. Ikki stopped Jason and sat up. She took off her shirt and tossed them away. Ikki then took of her shorts as well, and then the rest of her clothes. She laid back down and held her arms out to Jason.

"Come to me my darling."

He nodded and took off his clothes to match her appearance. He started kissing her legs, licking her thigh and going up. He planted kisses along her legs and went down to her swet pussy. He placed a finger on it, making juices flow out slowly.

"So this is a girl's pussy; I've never thought it would look so beautiful," he complimented. Ikki giggled again.

"Don't just stare at it," she told him. Jason rubbed her pussy with his finger, making her arch up.

"AH!" She moaned aloud. As he rubbed her pussy, Jason licked her clit. He stuck his fingers inside her and started felt her walls contract. He pushed them in and out, matching the rhythm of her moans. After a while, Ikki finally reached her climax, her moans filling out the room. She panted heavily as Jason removed his fingers.

"Jason," she whispered. He kissed her again and intertwined their fingers.

"Are you ready?" He asked.

"Wait; I want to pleasure you now," she replied. Ikki saw Jason penis standing erect. She wrapped her hand around it.

"Your dick is hard."

She gently rubbed the shaftand licked up it, causing electricity to course through Jason. Ikki rolling her tongue around his cock. Jason groaned in pleasure. And told her to go faster, which she happily obeyed. Ikki took the whole thing in her mouth and slurped up and down while stroking the shaft.

'She's doing so wonderful for her first time.' Jason said in his head. Ikki didn't bother asking and used his groans as the answer. She stopped sucking his penis and sandwiched it between her breasts.

"Now I'll use my boobs," she stated. Ikki moved them up and down as she licked the tip of Jason's cock. She put the head in her mouth and moved her breasts harder. Jason can feel his limit approaching, but tried to hold on a little bit longer. When he couldn't hold back anymore, Jason came in her mouth. She stayed on him and swalled the cum, slurping off the remains off his penis.

"You came a lot Jason; there's so much of it."

Jason calmed his breathing and looked at his fiancée.

"Let's become one Ikki," he said. She smiled and nodded then rested on her back. She held her arms out at Jason.

"Come to me my darling," she stated. Jason positioned himself at her entrance.

"It's my first time so be gentle."

Jason kissed her.

"It's mine too," he replied. Slowly, Jason slid his dick inside her pussy, causing her to scream in pain. Blood made its way to the sheets.

"Are you okay Ikki?" Jason asked concern. She slowly nodded her head.

"I'm okay; but go slowly."

Jason intertwined their fingers and slowly thrust in and out of her. Ikki's breathing intensified, and Jason matched his thrusts with hers. Her moans weren't ones of pain anymore, so Jason picked it up a little bit. Jason felt her wall squeeze around him, making him thrust harder. He began pulling back, causing her pussy to grip tighter and pull him back in. Jason went with it and added more power. She arched up more and gripped the pillow as she moaned in ecstasy.

"AH! AH! AH!"

Ikki sat up on his lap, making Jason go in deeper. She wrapped her arms and legs around him and went down as he thrust up. He hit her womb and kissed her. She held his face in a certain position and kissed him back with more passion.

"Jason, Jason, Jason," she moaned. "I love you; I love you; I love."

"I love you too Ikki," he declared. "I love you too."

Ikki pushed him down and pushed her hips up and down. Jason's penis hit her g-spot, causing her to fall on his chest.

"Ikki; I can't."

"It's okay, release it inside me," she interrupted. "I want you to release your seed inside me. I want to birth your children."

Jason finally reached his climax and filled up Ikki's womb with his semen. She too reached her limit and came along with Jason, moaning aloud.

"Jason; you came. It feels so warm."

She rested on top of Jason, both covered in sweat.

"Ikki; we finally did it," he said. Ikki kissed her fiancé.

"Thank you sweetie."

The two continued kissing with the sun high above the sky.

Later on that day, Minaka has sent a message to every active ashikabis telling them an address everyone is suppose to meet at. They are to bring all of their sekirei with them and wait until he gives his next message. Ren was already there, looking at the different ashikabi. Seo and Sanada, along with their respective sekirei, were with him. Ren immediately caught Mikogami, Ryan, The Disciplinary Squad and their ashikabi, and even Higa, who made his eyes narrow.

"Ren, where is Jason?" Musubi asked him. Ren searched around, but didn't find him. Even though he's practically the tallest ashikabi, he couldn't see his friend.

"I'm not sure; I don't see him," he replied.

"He's probably not here yet," Matsu suggested. Ren nodded in agreement.

"I wouldn't worry about him," he told everyone.

"Ren!" Someone called out. He turned his head and smiled after finding Jason approaching with his eight sekirei. He and Ikki were walking hand in hand.

"About time you showed up," he said. Jason chuckled.

"Sorry, but I was a little busy," he replied. Ren gave him a thumbs up, and he returned it. The girls were confused on what they were saying.

"So, where's the man of honor?"

Ren shrugged his shoulders.

"That's who we're waiting on."

Right on cue, the place turned dark and spotlights shot on. The lights were pointing to a tower, in which four people walked out. Ren and Jason were surprised to see two of them. They were Takehito, Takami, and Ren's Uncle Clyde.

"What is my uncle and Takami doing here?"

"That woman is Takami?" Jason asked. He looked at Homura, who nodded her head.

Then, one more person walked to the center, making everyone look with eagerness. The Game Master, Hiroto Minaka himself, has made his entrance. He was in his signature outfit.

"Greetings my ashikabis; you are the ones who managed to stay in this wonderful game. You are the ones who have earned the chance to have the powers of a god. You are the ones who are destined to do great things. Now then, the reason why I have gathered you all here is simple. It's time for the third phase to begin!" He exclaimed. The man immediately managed to find the four section ashikabis.

"For this phase, you will compete in a specific event. During this time, you will receive an email letting you it's your turn to participate. The type of event will be explained on the phone; however, for this first match, I will do the explaining. This first match will be a one-on-one fight. Two ashikabi's will face each other with three of their sekirei; and the team that still have sekirei left standing will receive a ticket to the next round."

"So now it begins; I wonder who's going first," Jason said. Ren just kept quiet and then looked at the ground.

"It's going to be me and Higa," he stated. His allies looked at him.

"What makes you so sure?" Seo asked.

"Minaka looked at me and then at Higa; he wants to setup two sector ashikabi against each to show off is my guess," he explained. "I don't care either way; I just want to get back at Higa for what he did."

"You damn right we do," Yomi stated. Jason covered Ku's ear to block out vulgar language.

"Can you at least watch your words. We have a kid present," he pointed out. They nodded, and he uncovered her ears. A giant board with names on it appeared.

"Now then; let's select the first two ashikabis," Minaka stated. Two white markers ran up and down the list at a fast pace. As it started to slow down, some were getting anxious while others were determined. The markers stopped and the names have been selected. Instead of the names, the ashikabis' pictures were displayed. Ren's allies gasped when they saw that his prediction came true. On the right, Ren's picture was displayed; and on the left, Higa's picture was displayed.

"And it's been decided! Ren Zonin will fight Higa Izumi in a battle of strength, smarts, and sekirei! Those two stay while the others take your seats and watch this spectacle. All fights will happen here, where you can watch close up; however, certain events will be watched from the TV. And one more thing, these fights will be broadcasted worldwide; so show everyone your strength and make it to the top!"

"I told you it would be us two," Ren said.

"Well, this should be a good fight. Good luck kid," Seo stated. The twins bowed to him as they left. Sanada's girls kept poking Ren to feel his mucles and then left with their ashikabi.

"You got this one in the bag," Jason told him. "Just don't think so much; I hate that. Good luck Ren."

He smiled and nodded at him. The two bumped fists, and Ren watched him leave with his sekirei. The only ones left in the arena was Ren with his sekirei and Higa with his sekirei. They just stared at each other as the Game Master and his higher ups watch from the tower.

"Now you two; choose your sekirei and FIGHT!"

A/N: Alright you guys, here is the next chapter. I'm sorry it took so long, but I had a lot of stuff happening and had little time to work. Hopefully, you'll enjoy this. I also feel like that none of you are reading; I guess you all got bored and stopped. If that's so, then thank you for sticking with me so far; I'm MalevolentDarkness16. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
