Ice Chronicles

Chapter 45: Awaited Day

Today, the great blazing orb shined radiantly in the great azure sky and spread its warmth throughout the day hemisphere. Right now, all we saw a dark bluish-tannic ocean with white caps as far as our eyes could see due to the strong wind. Mounds of sand rest further away from the shoreline as the vast field felt soft under our feet, which sunk into it with every step.

The sun's rays bounced off it, giving it a very light tan-white color, but the sand resting near the water appeared darker from the soakage. The waves remain small for now and the wind rides it, causing a constant light roar to blow in with the cool sea breeze. The sky was clear blue with streaks of clouds blowing in the wind as gulls fly everywhere, their continuous squawks being heard along with the roaring of the ocean and the howling of the wind.

The place was truly a remarkable sight. A tall building just standing tall close by as people roam around and enjoy themselves. Yesterday, after Minaka's announcement was over, my girls, Jason, his girls, and I packed some of our things and prepared for the next day. Now, I stood beside Jason in our swim trunks as we wait for our girls to finish changing as we get to have our long awaited beach day. Every single one of them yelled at us before, saying, "Don't peek!"

The painful task was the fact that Jason and I had to carry most of the stuff; but I cheated and used Musubi's gloves to give me more strength. After setting up the shady areas and such, we all went to change. Again, the girls yelled at us with a few actually inviting us in, namely Kazehana and Yomi; but we refused to avoid pain. But just in case, I activated my thunder and was prepared to pull, Jason away if things went out of control. Now here we are, waiting for our girls to appear.

"Hey Jason; I asked Homura the question," I told him.

"Really? What did she say?" he asked back. I chuckled halfheartedly.

"Well, she wanted to burn me alive, but we agreed to let it go with an answer."

Jason laughed at me.

"That's what I expected really."

I sighed. "Guess I'll never know."

"Nope, but at least you didn't get burned," Jason pointed out. I nodded.

"Can't say the same for Matsu though."

"I can agree with that," Jason replied.

"Speaking of which, did you know Matsu and Uzume well when they still lived at the inn?" I asked.

"I knew Uzume pretty good, but Matsu was a mystery; she scared the crap out of Ku one night. When I told the landlords, they just responded with a double hanya attack; but I still checked it out. One night, she tried the same thing with Ku, but I had my own mask and scared the crap out of her instead, only to be scolded by the landlords; but hey, it was worth it," he laughed. I laughed as well.

"Guys, we're ready!" Multiple girls shouted. We turned to see them, only to have our mouths drop and eyeballs nearly pop out of our sockets. Our girls walked towards us in their ever revealing, excluding Ku and Chiho, swimsuits. Even Homura, who had a faint blush on her cheeks, and Kuno's were a little revealing. The rays on the sun made their skin porcelain-like and made their hair sparkle. A couple of them, again, namely Yomi and Kazehana, dragged their hands through their long locks and made them flow majestically in the wind.

To say Jason and I were speechless is an understatement. No words could make its way out of our mouths as we were left dazed by the sight approaching us. We only snapped out of our daze when we heard yelling.

"Big brother!"

"Ren!"

Next thing I know, Musubi hugged me and made us fall to the ground. Because of that, my face ended up in Musubi's large breasts and a deep blushed burned my face. Unintentionally, I had my hands on her waist so I basically pulled her down more.

"Sorry about that Ren; I just wanted to thank you for finally bringing us here," she told me. I was still blushing.

"I'm glad you're happy Musubi; but do you mind getting off me?"

"Huh?" She said. Suddenly, she was pulled away by an angry Tsukiumi, who was too distracted to notice Kazehana helping me up and clinging to my arm while purposely putting in between her soft chest.

"Haven't even done anything and you're already having fun," she said. I laughed sheepishly.

"Well, it was an exciting greeting."

"Ooh, I see. Then how about this?" She pressed her lips to my cheek while pulling my arm deeper into her cleavage.

"We'll have a lot of fun when it's my turn."

She winked at me and caused me to blush even deeper, causing her to giggle in return. I looked for Jason, only to find out he and his Sekirei were long gone. Soon, Uzume grabbed my free hand.

"Sorry sis, but you all know that our darling's time starts with me and our daughter."

Earlier, I did come up with a way to choose the order in which I would spend with the girls. Basically, spun a wheel and whatever names were chosen first would be my first partner. After all the girls were chosen, Uzume was the very first one. I will spend three hours along with her and Chiho. Then I will move on to whoever came next.

Kazehana let me go after another kiss on the cheek.

"See you when it's my turn darling."

Uzume dragged me along with her and stopped at Chiho's in progress sandcastle.

"Chiho has never made a sand castle."

I cracked my knuckles with a smile.

"Say no more."

I kneeled beside my daughter and instructed her on the building fundamentals. We started with wetting the sand for molding and then gathered tools to help carve it. After getting the general idea of how our castle should look, we created a water hole and then let our imagination run wild. As we constructed our palace and its environment, Uzume snapped pictures and joined us. The entire activity was filled with the girls' happy giggles and beautiful smiles. Once we finished, Uzume took a picture of the three of us standing around it.

"We did a great job," she said. "Now that's a castle."

"Thanks mom and dad," Chiho stated.

"Anytime," I replied. "What do you all want to do now?"

In response to that, I was splashed with water as my wife and daughter giggled at me. I smiled back at them.

"Oh, so it's like that huh?"

I smashed a fist into the water and created a small wave that doused them both. They giggled again and shook some of the water away.

"We'll get you for that," Uzume declared. "Ready Chiho?"

"Ready," she stated. Suddenly, the two pulled out water soakers and took aim… at me.

"We asked Matsu to bring these," Uzume clarified. "Now then, any last words?"

I smirked. "Actually, yes."

I held up the arm with that held my wristwatch.

"Carmen, transform!"

The watch responded to my command and began to morph. It started to expand and cover my forehand. A single cannon stretched out in the center as the base expanded more and two more cannons appeared on either side. I submerged the nozzles and watched the capacity bar increase. I took aim at my surprised girls and charged up my blaster.

"You may have Matsu helping you, but Carmen is on my side. Now what were you two saying?"

"Uh, you wouldn't blast your own wife and daughter would you?" Uzume questioned. I continued to smirk.

"Sorry honey, but when you put that way… yeah

I fired the blaster, sending a triple jet stream jetting towards the girls, whom dove into the water to avoid the shot. They quickly resurfaced and fired, but I used their strategy and dove underwater. I came up behind a startled Chiho, who dropped her gun in the process. I wrapped an arm around her waist as Uzume took aim at me, but I aimed my blaster at our daughter's head.

"Unless you want your daughter to perish, I suggest you put down your weapon."

"Unless you want a bullet in your head, I suggest you let my daughter go," she retorted. I chuckled.

"Don't you mean our daughter?" I questioned all knowingly. Uzume let out a believable fake surprised gasp, as did Chiho. I smiled at their response.

"Yes Chiho, it's true; you are my daughter. Your mom, however kept it a secret from you all this time. But Uzume, did you honestly think I wouldn't find out?"

She gritted her teeth.

"You may be smart at figuring things out, but she is no daughter of yours. Now I'll tell you again to release Chiho."

I stilled smiled, but I felt said Chiho tug on my trunks. I bent down for her to whisper in my ear and then let her splash water in her face to give her that crying effect. I gave Uzume the okay symbol, and we heard Chiho cry.

"Why? Why did you keep this secret hidden from me?" She asked Uzume, who pretended to be taken aback. She was at a loss for words and turned her head, causing Chiho to gasp.

"See Chiho? I'm not the bad person here. Your mother is the one who decided not to tell you about me and now look at the position you're in; your mother is pointing a gun at her own husband, who is also pointing a gun at his own daughter. Do you think this would've happened if she just told you the truth?" I asked her. She looked down, her tears landing in the water.

"I-I don't…"

"Don't listen to him Chiho; he's only trying to warp your mind," Uzume interrupted. "He's only trying to tear us apart; please don't listen to him."

"But I…"

"I think you've said enough baby," I pointed out. She growled a little.

"Don't call me that! We are no longer lovers; you abandoned me a long time ago and left me all alone. Now you come back and have the nerve to call me that? You have no right."

"Mom," Chiho whispered. I started laughing.

"You see how your mother is Chiho; this is why she never told you. She didn't want to feel the pain anymore."

"Shut up! Stop clouding her mind; it doesn't change the fact that you abandoned us when she was growing up," Uzume stated. I responded to that by shooting her in the leg with the lowest power level. She dropped to her knees and dropped the gun.

"Mom!" Chiho exclaimed. She attempted to struggle free, but I never loosened my grip.

"No, let me go!"

"Don't lie to yourself baby; just be honest with your feelings," I said. She shot daggers at me.

"I'm not lying. My heart and I want nothing to do with you."

I shook my head.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk; you're still lying to yourself. Oh well,"

I pointed my blaster at her again, causing her and Chiho to gasp.

"Since you're so eager to be rid of me, how about I grant your final wish?"

I was about to take the shot; until,

"Drop the weapon, let my sister go, and walk away from my mom," a familiar voice stated behind me. I felt a gun touch the back of my head and heard an imitational click. I smiled and began to chuckle once more.

"Ah Jason, I should've known you would come to your mom and sister's rescue."

"You should've stayed away… dad," he told me.

"Jason, you knew about him as well?" Chiho questioned.

"I did; but I didn't tell you because I knew he was your target. Instead, I kept it a secret to keep you safe; I'm sorry for not telling you, but please understand my reasoning," he answered. "Now let Chiho go dad. Unlike mom, I'm not afraid to shoot you. After all, it was you who taught me how to be brave."

"Hm, ironic how the one you taught is now holding a gun at the back of your head; I guess you have grown a lot since I last saw you," I responded. "However, I'm afraid you still have much to learn."

With that, I shot the water and made it geyser up. Now that everyone was distracted, I took the opportunity to shoot all three, but I was also hit by none other than Uzume, who was on her knees, as her two kids lay face up on the water dead. My lips curled into a smile as heavy pants escaped my mouth.

"I didn't think you had it in you."

The gun dropped into the water.

"A lot of things have changed since you've left," she replied holding her wound. I chuckled softly.

"Yes, it has; but even though it has, your beauty still remained breathtaking."

A small blush appeared on her cheeks, but she didn't say anything and dove underwater, and I soon followed as eternal darkness consumed us. After a couple of seconds, we all got back on our feet and laughed aloud.

"That was awesome," I stated. The others nodded in agreement. Soon, we heard a loud round of applause from the crowd we unintentionally gathered. We took a bow and tended to our business. Jason took Chiho for a stroll around the beach. Uzume and I did the same, but did a little exploring along the way. We walked hand in hand as we checked out the large landscapes and surrounding areas. After a while, we came across a secluded area surrounded by rocks with a large pond created from the branching water. The tall rocks made the sun bounce off and hit the water, giving the area a crystal like appearance.

"Wow, this place is really beautiful," I commented.

"Yeah, let's relax here for the remainder," Uzume requested. I hugged her from behind.

"We have an hour and twenty minutes left."

She giggled and turned around, wrapping her arms around my neck and locking eyes with mine. I gently rested my forehead against hers as she placed a hand on my cheek and gave me a quick peck on the lips.

"Then let's make the most of it," she whispered seductively. She pulled my face to hers and let our lips touch, both now slowly moving together. We stopped for a minute and Uzume rubbed our noses together.

"I love making out with you," she said softly.

"Then let's continue," I whispered back. She smiled and brought her lips back to mine, our session resuming. She was the first to up the ante, enticingly sliding her tongue pass my lips. I let her through and danced with her moist tongue. Uzume let out a muffled moan as the hand that touched my face slid up the back of my neck, her fingers wrapping themselves around my hair. I rested my hands on her hips and squeezed them gently, slowly sneaking up her torso. Pulling apart for another brief second, Uzume pulled me to the rocks and sat me down on a flat boulder. She then straddled my waist and gave me another peck on the lips.

"We've become such good parents, don't you think?"

"Yeah, I suppose I was worried for nothing," I replied. She pecked me again.

"Let me reward you with my lips."

She traced her tongue around my lips before re-entering my mouth, where our heated round of tongue dancing continued. I increased the heat by sliding my hand down her back and squeezed her ass and pulling her closer. She giggled and moaned as my hands played with her buttocks. A gasp escaped her when my hand slid into her swimsuit and groped her breast, teasing her soft mound. In retaliation, her hands rubbed around my chest and settled on my cheeks, pulling me closer for a deeper kiss.

An hour later, we pulled apart, Uzume dragging her tongue across the roof of my mouth before completely ending our make out session.

"That was so much fun," she smiled while rubbing our noses together again. She fixed her swimsuit and gave me a couple more pecks.

"I love you."

"I love you too," I declared. She rested against me.

"I don't want you to go."

I hugged her tightly.

"I have to; we all agreed I wouldn't give any of you more than three hours."

"I know, but I want to be with you longer," she begged. I kissed her for another while before walking back with her to the main area.

"When we're together again, we'll have more fun; just give it time okay?"

"Okay," she said and stopped to kiss again. "Thanks for bringing us here; you're the best."

I hugged her for the remainder of my time.

"I try my best to make sure you're all happy."

"That you do," she responded and kissed me one last time before waving goodbye. I waved bye as well and searched for the next person on the list, Matsu.

A/N: And that concludes this chapter; I hope you all like what I've done. I have decided to make this into its own arc so the individual chapters will just be Ren spending time with his Sekirei and friends. Since Matsu is next, I would like you all to come up with activities her and Ren can do, as well as some for the others if you'd like. With something to think about, this has been MalevolentDarkness16; and I will see you all next time.
