Hello everyone. I started this chapter a couple of hours after I released the last one. I didn't want to forget the name.

I hope you all enjoyed reading it.

Now, this is not going to be like the last one.

24K words in a chapter. Yeah, that tends to take some pieces out of you. I did like it, though, and went the extra mile to get there.

This chapter is not going to be a full chapter focus on the next bits, namely the trip with Ichika to the shopping mall and beach.

This is focused on Charlotte's revelation and Minato coming back home. Plus, Kazehana and Matsu getting a fun trip.

We get about 7K words that might happen.

It became more, and I don't complain.

The dream is true, the dream is true

The dream is true, the dream is true

Minato and Tsukiumi were back on the train home from their weekend on the beach. They had enjoyed their time together, and Minato had a good idea of how his other Sekirei felt from the experience that their husband had been looking out for Ichika.

So far, he had been around Tsukiumi, and he hadn't heard what happened on the ISA or what Ichika faced. He had been drunk on the fact that he had been around one Sekirei who had looked forward to this for a good long while. So he was now seeing what his actions did. Life might be the cause of many things, but he wasn't going to let go of his Sekirei.

For him, it was a warning to him that he should keep track of them and don't lose sight of what he already got. So yeah, there was that. Minato was now sure that he would look out for them.

On the train, his Water Maiden slept on his shoulder, and he was doing the same thing. His energy had run dry, and he was asleep in the same spot.

Eventually, the train stopped, and he found his place back in Tokyo.

"So back home," Tsukiumi lamented, and he couldn't help but share that feeling. Nothing gives you a buzz like going on holiday, and nothing is more hateful than going back home.

"Indeed. We have to. Or do you want to move to Okinawa when I'm done?" Minato asked playfully, although the idea was something worth considering. When you had an MBI card, money wasn't an issue.

"Are thou daft? How art thee expected to work for MBI when thou lives in Okinawa?" Tsukiumi asked, and Minato chuckled.

"Maybe later, but now, let us return home. I needeth to wash our clothes and thou hast thy responsibilities towards thine other Sekirei.

With that, they walked home, and soon enough, Maison Izumo appeared.

"Minato, it had been a really wonderful experience. For that, I thank thee. But I suppose that the fantasy of me being thy only wife has come to an end." A mirthful smile past on her face and Minato sighed when his tsundere said that.

"Thank you, Tsukiumi. When it is your turn again, we'll have the same day. But now, time to face the music."

When the door went open, the two words were said.

"We're home." He said, and from that point, he could feel the house storming. Sharing a look with Tsukiumi, they both knew that the entire house stormed down to meet the Ashikabi.

Well, he'd count two out. Suddenly, a blond ball of energy and a green dress flashed in his arms.

"Big brother." She shouted as Minato took Kusano in his arms and flipped her upside down. Not too high so that the girl wouldn't hit the roof.

"Hey, Kuu-chan." He said as he hugged her. Then she pressed her lips on his and gave a soft kiss. "I missed you, big brother." The Green girl said as, in seconds, she would forego her Ashikabi, and she wouldn't let him go now.

It wasn't before long till Musubi ran in. Kusano knew that, and she couldn't be selfish. So Minato put his girl down, and when she was, he smiled at Musubi. "Hello, Musubi. Missed me?"

Before long, she leaped in his arms and hugged the living hell out of him. "I missed you, Minato-san." He couldn't help but smile at her affection. Not to mention the fact that her tits were pressed against his chest.

"Happy to be home, Musubi." When she looked up, Musubi kissed the life out of Minato, who felt his arms around her body. She smiled and looked up to him. Her wings came out, and when she let him go, she blushed. Minato had the same look on his face. Red and drunk on lust.

"Minato, I am going to unpack and clean our clothes. Thou hast thy responsibilities toward thy Sekirei." Musubi and Kusano were grateful that Tsukiumi understood they missed their lover.

"Thank you, Tsukiumi." When she passed by, the larvicolous blond turned her head.

"Minato. Thank you for the wonderful trip." She said, and with Kusano under his right arm and Musubi in his left, the two walked back to the dining room.

From what he saw, Uzume and Chiho were there. Uzume nudged her first Ashikabi giving her second Ashikabi a smirk. When she unplugged her ears, Chiho jumped at him. "I missed you, big guy." She said, and it was good Minato had gotten a built. Musubi let his arm go while Minato lifted both Chiho on his left and Kusano at his right.

The Ashikabi's kissed, and their bond that was there for sure grew. "Happy to be back home, Chiho." Smiling, he put the human down, and with that, he also put Kusano on the ground.

He stood his ground for Uzume's hug, and she kissed her Male Ashikabi, who couldn't help but growl in the kiss. Her tongue slipped in his mouth, and it was clear that the girl was frisky. His hands weren't still as they touched the bum, and Uzume yelped as she could feel a squeeze on her ass. She turned to Minato, who smirked at her.

"You can't expect me not to retaliate. I have an idea you missed me, Uzume." She nodded, and he sat down with the four who cooed all over. Musubi was on his left leg while Uzume on his right. He had Kusano on his lap, who smiled at him. Chiho claimed his arm.

"So, how were things?" He asked while the women needed to have their energy back.

"You haven't heard?" Chiho asked, and Minato shook his head. "There was a reason I went there."

"Well, Minato. Things have gone crazy. At that school, things went really bad." Minato raised an eyebrow on the sentence.

"How bad?" Minato asked.

"Well, Minato. Bad enough for Matsu to be out like a light." Turning to Takehito, the scientist had a serious look on his face. Taking a seat, the guy looked at him.

"What happened? Is Matsu okay?" Worry took over. Was he out having fun while his Sekirei was broken?

"Don't worry, she is fine. Just tired. But let's just that young Ichika gave her one scare." Takehito said.

"What went wrong?"

"What didn't go wrong?" The voice was of Kazehana, and she walked up to her hubby. Kusano let her big sister take apart, and Uzume and Musubi let their senior take a kiss on his lips. Wrapping her arms around him, it was soft, and it was clear that she had seen things that she was sensitive for.

"Kazehana. What happened?" The girl didn't say much, but Minato could only wrap circles around her back to calm her down for a bit.

It took five minutes, and the girls had the same look on their faces.

"Is anyone going to tell me what happened? Matsu is out, and I haven't heard much news. So sorry, but you guys make me worry that someone died." Kazehana shook her head.

"No, no one died." She took the phone from Matsu and gave it to Minato. The guy raised an eyebrow and looked it over.

"Kazehana, you know that Matsu doesn't like it when you take her stuff." She smiled at her Ashikabi. "I think she'll forgive me. But you need to read this."

Looking at the text, it was Sunday evening, and it came from Ichika.

Hey Matsu.

You're more than just a guardian angel. You're a cyber one.

I suppose you're the one that took Bodewig down when she went outraged. I am so sorry for asking to watch over me, but without your help, no one could have guessed how it would go.

I seriously own you for this thing.

I can't say more than this. One big thank you.

Ichika Orimura.

He looked at Kazehana, who sighed. "I took the liberty of replying. Matsu saved a lot of lives. She did that, but she collapsed. She is fine, Minato. She just exceeded her power." Looking down on the fact that his Sekirei got hurt, two fingers forced him to look at her face.

"Do. Not. Blame yourself, my husband. You couldn't foresee that horror coming out. Matsu will be fine. She has slept through, and she needs some rest. And she wanted to ask for a ride. We need energy for this."

Minato looked at Uzume, who waved him off.

"Don't worry. We have said ours okay for this. It will have to be in this week, however, sis. In two weeks, we have our trip." Minato sighed on that part, and Chiho nodded.

That was a part of the rules that he laid down.

Besides being allowed to have dates and taking along who they wanted for that, the Sekirei had also agreed that if they wanted a ride before a date, they were allowed if the other Sekirei agreed.

A ride wasn't a date. It meant that they went to a love hotel and had sex there. It was something that Minato could understand.

They didn't use it often as most preferred dates above just having sex, but when they wanted to get laid, that was the easiest thing to do.

Minato had also to say yes.

"Very well, Kazehana. But not for today or tomorrow. I need some rest as well." He agreed on the whole thing.

"Works for me. Matsu isn't up either. So yeah. As for Ichika, he's sorry for collapsing Matsu, but as I said, don't worry. I told him the same thing." Minato breathed a sigh of relief.

"It was maybe for the best buddy you weren't around. Things really went crazy there." Kazehana told him, and the others agreed vehemently.

"You should check on Ichika later, but now. You're not going anywhere." Minato raised an eyebrow, and before long, he was carried to his bedroom, snuggled by the Sekirei who hadn't seen him for three days. Minato couldn't help but smile.

A bed filled with birds around you was one right way to sleep.

Tsukiumi meanwhile hummed when she took care of the clothes and put them in the wash — knowing that most of her sister's wives would be out with their husband. Meaning she could go in the bath.

"So, you're back home." Turning to silver hair and black eyes, she smiled at Homura.

"Hello, Homura." She said with a smile as she was done with the clothes.

"I suppose you had fun on your trip." Tsukiumi nodded and smiled at her friend. "Indeed. Minato has proven himself once again as my husband."

Grinning, Kagari knew where the Ashikabi was, and she could wait. The others weren't so patient.

"So, not jealous that as soon you walked through the door, you lost him?"

The Water Woman shrugged. "What can one change? Either way, I have a bath without getting felt up. Which is what I am going to do." Without saying, Tsukiumi would soak in the warm water. She enjoyed it, and she knew that her womanhood needed time to heal from this.

It was a great trip, sure, but it had exhausting. And now she understood how Minato felt to pause dates. His junk needed to heal, and she found the saying. Too much of one thing is good for nothing. She closed her eyes.

She wasn't worried about anything. She wasn't sure if she was pregnant. If it didn't work now, it was later. It was better often than a lot at once. In the bath, she enjoyed herself.

She wasn't leaving the bad soon, and she enjoyed the hot water around her body. When she was done, she went back to her quarters and slept in the room. For now, she could those concubines enjoy themselves.

Minato slept as well as sound as he could. He'd look at his mail later, but now, he wanted to rest between the arms of his lovers.

Meanwhile, Miya walked back from her shopping trip. She knew that the two would be returning home. So when she opened the door, she found it shocking that the place was quiet. When she walked into the living room, she found her husband reading the newspaper.

"Hello, Miya," Takehito spoke to his wife, who looked around.

"Hasn't Minato-kun returned home yet? Has the train gotten delayed?" The Pillar asked worried, but when she was the teasing smirk from her husband, she knew that it was something else.

"No worries. The kid has returned home with Tsukiumi, but as always, you don't sleep as good as in your bed. Five of his Sekirei dragged him along. I think they need to recharge their Mina-energy as Matsu dubbed it."

With a snort, Miya looked around. "Five?"

"Kusano-chan, Musubi-chan, Uzume-chan, Chiho-chan, and Kazehana. Matsu is still out for the count. I think we'll wake her up when we have dinner tonight. Kagari is in her room, reading, and Tsukiumi passed by, saying that she let the others sleep. Meaning, all of our tenants are taking a nap. So you know what that means."

Miya passed by to the kitchen. "That means I'll make dinner for them." She wanted to say but found her wrist captured by her husband, who had a knowing smirk.

"I do not think so." Miya sighed as she was captured by her husband.

"How am I supposed to keep a moral standing if you intend to perform carnal arts in the living room?"

With a smirk, Takehito began to kiss his wife. She found her air cut off and began kissing her husband back. They had to make up for the lost time.

It had been years for them. So while Miya wanted to struggle, she found herself drawn in the touch of her husband. Neither aged one day from when the disaster happened. So they had been going on this bond.

Miya grinned as her husband's fingers slipped in beneath. She didn't wear underwear in comfortable clothes, so it was easier for him. Miya broke down on her husband's lap, and she could feel herself becoming hot and bothered.

He had experience sure, and he knew how to tease her. She blushed and couldn't help but mewl as he began to explore. His fingers were long, and they knew where to touch to have the most fun. He wasn't going to let her have fun.

Takehito teased his wife with a smirk, knowing all the things he learned. They had consummated their marriage years ago. So before long, Miya's moans began to resonate, not helping his arousal.

He knew where to press on her to make her shudder like a leaf. He also kissed her mouth and teased her. Still, she smiled at him. His hand got a bit wet, as well. Miya didn't get wholly soaked on him. Even some bits flew over him. The man smiled at her, and he couldn't help but enjoy the feeling more in her body.

Miya moaned against his mouth as she bit on his kimono, hoping to keep the moans in her body. But Takehito just smirked as he began to feel her up more.

When he pressed on the right place, his wife came undone on him. His finger retreated out, and he looked at her. She nodded and lowered herself on him.

Both weren't love-struck teens but they had a severe amount of hormones to burn. Miya smiled as she kissed her husband, growling in the kiss.

Takehito enjoyed the feeling of Miya, more than he should. There was a ton both owned by Minato and his Sekirei. They changed fate, and that was great for the two.

Takehito held off the sex till Minato got home. The Sekirei were sexually frustrated enough, and not being around Minato was even worse. Miya felt herself growing used to the lovemaking, and a quickie in the living room was a great pick me up.

To her chagrin, she could get used to more of those.

They softly worked each other up, and when some could see how Miya was on the lap of her husband, one wondered what sort of a guy this was.

Takehito rutted in her body and buried herself in the bosom of his wife. She wasn't huge like Matsu or Kazehana, but she had a beautiful set of tits. That was something none could argue about.

That was just great to feel in, and he found that Miya clenched up at him. With a smirk, he found it even more fun to do.

When Takehito hitched a breath, she made the most of it and got her orgasm while she could feel her lover's release.

"Trying to get me pregnant?" She giggled but stopped when she saw his face.

Serious.

"Yes." He answered, and he pressed more in the kiss. When he was sure that she had him, he broke it off.

"With Minato and his Sekirei gone sooner than later, this house is going to be quiet. So yeah, I'd like to have a child around." Miya's stupor broke out as she looked at her husband.

"Dear, you'll have enough test subjects on Sahashi and his kids. No reason for us to make one." Miya yelped as she found a soft bite.

"I want to have kids. You and I have been separated for long enough, and I want to have children to keep this house full of laughter. It hadn't died here when I was gone, and I don't want it to die out. It'll be more than just interesting. Those Sekirei will be the first ones born on this planet. So yeah, I want to see that happening." Takehito said, and with his wife smile, he returned it.

Taking the most active being in existence in his arms, Takehito walked to his bedroom. She could use a nap now, and he could take care of dinner. It looks like sukiyaki was on the menu — one great way to eat although it wasn't wintering to eat it yet.

He was sure that they could use it later.

Minato woke up hours later. His limbs were restrained, and when he looked to the roof, he figured out why. His Sekirei hadn't moved one bit when they tied him to the bed. Not that he minded. Sleeping in a warm flock was a great thing.

With that, he could only smile on their sleeping faces. Looking up, he saw Takehito standing on the door.

"Looks like you slept well." The scientist said, and Minato nodded. "Yep. Slept like the dead."

Turning to the sleeping birds, he was sure that nearly every limb had at least one set of tits around it. Kuu slept on him like a big cat. Smirking he wondered what would happen when they would have kids in the equation.

Most likely, the Sekirei would have at least one kid before long. If they had more, that would either be a twin or triplet. But he didn't see Minato taking on sixteen kids in two years.

Seven was a more sane number.

"I guess it is true. They missed, you know. But the fight with Ichika. Matsu is out, but you better wake her up." Minato nodded but looked down.

"Kid. Don't beat yourself up for this. None of us could have foreseen the things that happened on that girl, and we can be grateful that Matsu looked it over. This could have been much, much, much worse." Minato nodded, and with that, the girls stirred in the sleep.

"Look, you girls best get up. Dinner is getting cold." Takehito said, and with that, the Sekirei opened their eyes. When they saw the male Asama, all of them smiled. They were grateful for the fact their landlord allowed them this.

"Good day, Takehito," Kazehana said with a grin.

"Morning, Takehito," Uzume said, and she sat up while she stretched out. It drew the eyes to her set of tits.

"Good morning, doctor Takehito," Musubi said as she released the arm of Minato.

"Morning, doctor," Kusano said, and she yawned. She nestled at her big brother.

"Hello, Takehito." Chiho took the other side. Before long, they all pressed kisses on them, and Takehito smirked at the sight.

No matter how many times he saw it, the feats that Minato pulled off were incredible.

With that, Takehito grinned as Uzume kissed the male.

Before long, they stood up, and they walked the living room. Minato stopped at the place of Matsu. Opening it, made it clear that they needed to vent this room. It smelled an excellent bit.

On the futon, surrounded by dark screens, laid the cyber maiden.

She was in her nightclothes, and Minato stirred her. "Matsu. Hey, Matsu. Wake up." He said as he rustled the Sekirei.

When she stiffened, she didn't react. So Minato did the one sane thing. Taking the face of his Sekirei, he pressed a kiss on her lips. It turned out that the ones he slept with weren't the only ones who needed their Mina-energy.

Opening the eyes, Matsu smiled at her husband.

"Mina-tan. Good morning." Before more could be said, he wrapped his arms around her and squeezed the life out of her.

"I heard from the others what you did and what caused you to sleep. I'm so sorry about this. If I had only been at home." He said, and with a smile, Matsu returned the hug. Before long, she took her husband's face and kissed it again.

"Mina-tan. Don't be like this. I suppose that you got told that you couldn't have foreseen this. By doing this, I could protect Ichika-tan and others from danger. That was the request, right?" Silently nodded, she continued as she pressed one more kiss on his lips.

When she let him go, she smiled at him. "I wasn't in danger. I just took a long nap. Even without you around, I still have others to take care of me. As soon they saw it the danger passing, they checked on me, and they helped me out. We are a family, Mina-tan. Never forget that."

And with that, she kissed her Ashikabi again while Minato took her up in his arms.

"That might be all nice and good, but you will take it easy. Kazehana told me that you want a ride. That is okay, but not till Friday. I need some energy." And with that, Minato carried Matsu to the living room, and he sat her down while taking his place.

Tsukiumi had also come out of the bed, and she pressed a kiss on the lips of Minato. She agreed to the others to have fun, but she didn't want to be left behind. Kagari agreed.

So with a few more kisses, they saw how Takehito carried Miya, who had the giddiest smile and a blush, luminescent around her face.

Karma was something as they smiled all at her. It was clear what the two had done while the others were asleep. Not that they minded the whole thing.

Dinner was lively as they talked about the beach trip and how they had their fun at that place. Musubi was sad she missed the chance to see Kaho again, but Minato got a smile when he told her that Kaho would drop by soon.

Meanwhile, the whole thing about Shigi and Kuno was also a fun addition. It was also why Minato wanted to wait for a few days that he got a reserve again.

Kusano sat in the lap of her brother as she told him that the eyes were shielded when Laura turned into a monster. Minato gulped when Kagari showed a picture on the cellphone. The Internet was hot buzzing to what happened. Luckily for Laura, she was protected by Chifuyu Orimura. At that point, Minato knew he had to grab his laptop.

But not before he put Kusano to bed. Dropping her head on his shoulder, the Green Girl slept like a log.

Minato knew that he would follow soon. Everyone would.

Opening the laptop, the silence was killing everyone. When he got in his mail, he got the message.

The subject was at least good.

Update, and I'm still alive.

Minato began to read the mail.

What's up, aniki. I'll let you know that I'm still alive and well, it got close.

Once again, one big thanks to Matsu-san for helping me out. I heard from Kazehana-san that she collapsed. Tell her that I'm sorry for that and that I am forever grateful to her.

Matsu beamed and asked her phone back. Kazehana kept it around.

Laura got better from the attack, and I really owe you from having a cyber guardian angel if I am allowed to call her that.

I got off relatively free from the whole mess, and that went well. Luckily, I didn't get killed, but it got way too close for comfort.

Meanwhile, I think I can ask Matsu-san to lay off the search of Charlotte. Not much I need to find back unless it is to get after her father. I can say for sure that Charlotte is one sweet girl, and I have found it friendly to have a Pilot that didn't want to kill me.

As for Laura, she got out of the mess, and Chifuyu-nee gave her the message that she has to leave me alone. I have proven my worth. She and I had a chat, and that was waaaaay overdue, brother. We both came clean, and for now, things went better.

Till this morning. Oh brother. You should have been there. Let me tell you what happened there.

In the ISA.

Ichika had foreseen that things would go sideways if Charlotte got introduced again, so that's why he requested his sister to be around when that would come down.

"Why do you think that I'll be needed there?" With a deadpan look, her brother grinned at her. "They'll kill me. If you're around, that is something they'll have to keep in mind. Char is going as a girl now. I don't want to die." Ichika told his sister, and she had to give it to her brother. That is why he didn't want to go in when his sister wasn't around.

"That is not going to happen. I am sure they'll react maturely."

When they entered the room, the wall was broken open, and standing there was Rin with her Infinite Stratos activated.

"You were saying?" Ichika looked to his sister.

"I am beginning to see what you mean," Chifuyu said, but that didn't stop Rin to aim her canon at the guy.

Before Rin could kill him, the attack was stopped by Laura. Looking at her, he sighed gratefully.

"I owe you one." Laura grabbed him, and before one could do anything, she shoved her tongue down his throat.

And she spoke the words.

"You're my wife now. There will be no objections." She said, and that part Ichika wondered what he did wrong.

The whole class exploded, and Chifuyu reached a breakpoint. "You kids. That is enough. You will have to wait until the class is cleaned up. And for that matter."

They six ended up outside with a bucket on his head.

Minato had to go over the mail several times to get where he was going. The fact he read it out loud made it even worse. He didn't believe the words are coming out of his mouth.

Chiho blinked a couple of times.

"Okay, am I the only one who has questions?" She asked, and the rest of the table sat in the same gobsmacked way.

"I think we all have them. Does anyone see a pattern in this?" Uzume said, and she looked surprised at the whole thing. It would have been hilarious; was it not that the situation was not humorous at all.

Musubi looked to the Veiled girl, and she sighed. "If you all think about this, the Infinite Stratos girls are mirrors from all of you." Matsu raised an eyebrow on that.

"Explain."

Uzume nodded on that and began to speak. "Well, it appears to me that those girls all have a counterpart here. I mean. Laura, who wanted to kill Ichika and shoved her tongue down his throat. Does that sound familiar? And who declared that he is her wife? Doesn't that sound familiar?"

They all turned to Tsukiumi, who stood up. "Art thou saying that I am like those girls? I am not." Uzume shook her head.

"Not at all, Tsukiumi. You changed your ways, but you were like Laura. You wanted to kill Minato, and when you got winged, you declared yourself as his true Wife. Tsundere, much?" Chiho chuckled.

"Now you mention, Uzume-chan, yeah. They do have counterparts. For example, Musubi and Houki are similar. First, on something of girls and both have a strong connection to the guy." Kagari coughed.

"I am like Charlotte. My true gender came out." Uzume nodded.

"Yeah, and you are a bit like Cecilia, Kazehana. You two are similar if Ichika's mails are to go by. I mean. Ichika changed her views on bits, and well, we can read more on her if you ask him, Minato. Your view changed when you went after Minato instead of Minaka. We can all say that it was a good choice." Matsu told her old friend who wanted to argue but couldn't.

The Wind Woman went to Minato and kissed him. "Rin is a bit like Kuu. She was the second Sekirei who you winged Minato and Rin is Ichika's second friend. A bit different from the rest as our little girl stood out of the group. Rin is in class 1.2, and Kusano is the youngest of the bunch."

Minato nodded on that part.

"We missed your counterpart, Uzume-chan, and that of you, Chiho." The two shrugged on that. "Neither do you have one, Matsu-san." The bespectacled girl shrugged on that.

"I hope for Ichika-tan, he doesn't find one. From what I get, he already got his hands full. Mina-tan, I think you better reply to him." Minato grinned on that, and his Sekirei collected behind him.

"You are one good guy, Minato. But I now get why you want him to come over." Takehito said. Sharing a look with Matsu and Kazehana, they were sure that Miya wasn't pleased with how things went on Chifuyu although they needed to hear from Ichika.

Hey, Ichika.

Good to hear you're still alive. At my place, we talked about it. I am now back home. Matsu is okay, but let's say that we couldn't foresee it.

Got that told me quite a bit.

It's good to hear you got out that fight alive. But damn, it looks like you got a new girl who is after you — speaking about something, Ichika. Cecilia, she changed her views, right? Can you give me a bit more info? One of the girls had a hypothesis. We want to see if it checks out.

Next to that, it turns out that you got yourself quite a party. I hope that you explain a bit more on Chifuyu's part. You two talked? Or a fight when you dropped by? How did that go down? As for Laura, yeah. We need to sleep this one over and see how it goes down. You had no fun there.

Any case, good that you're around.

If changes let me know, but I'll be out soon enough.

I'll talk to you later.

With that, Minato sends the message, and he yawned. "How about we all get some sleep? I think we can use that." It didn't take long before the girls took Minato up back to his bed. Kagari, Tsukiumi, and Matsu went along with that, and before long, they went to his bed, and Minato was going to sleep between the Sekirei. They felt warm, and he was home again.

The next day.

Minato woke up, and he had hoped to sleep a lot more between those girls. But that wasn't going to happen. He had to school to go. So he sighed. "Girls, sorry, but I need to go up." The woman who was hugging him moaned, but they had to agree on that.

Minato usually waited before his girls were ready, but he really needed to use the toilet. So instead of waiting, he rushed to the bathroom.

When he got back, the girls were slowly waking up. "Morning, Minato," Musubi said, and she was the first to kiss him.

The rest followed soon after, and when they were done, they kissed him as well. Chiho was the last one, and with a grin, he picked up a drowsy Kusano to the living room. They sat down, and they could smell the food coming down.

Hungry stomachs and an arranged biology caused them to do a lot of damage to the food. Most of the girls would stay at home. Miya wasn't going anywhere, but Takehito had to go to MBI for his research.

Minato also had to go out for his college. Sides that, the girls would stay around. Musubi wanted to train with Tsukiumi for a bit, and Uzume wanted to hang around Kazehana for a bit. Matsu went back to her computers.

Just a regular day for them.

Minato was happy that some usually set back in his life. For now, at least.

The school was back open, and he saw Shigi walking around as well. The guy looked also wrung out. Shaking his head, they got enough for now.

For the girls, they took it easy. They were a bit of content, so their guy back at home. So they were taking it easy as well.

For now, they could only be around this week. Minato had to catch up with his school, and that took his attention soon.

Meanwhile, the girls brainstormed on what their home should be like. Money wasn't an issue now with their MBI cards. They could do with a particular Inn or traditional house like they were living in now, and as Minato said, they could fix things, and they could get help.

A place with a big garden would be fun so their kids could train. They didn't want their children to be locked up like how they did back when they were young. Their kids would inherit their power, and unless they want their house to become like Seo's, they weren't in for that.

They also looked for a bed. They wanted some big enough to sleep comfortably.

Uzume and Chiho went back to her room to go over their trip with Minato in two weeks. Matsu and Kazehana were also looking for their place to go on Friday.

They had a healthy life or as normal as they could get for them. Was this how healthy life would be?

The week flew by as the Sekirei settled in life again, and Minato worked back on his stuff at school. And Friday rolled by soon enough.

Minato didn't go home at that time but received a text from Matsu and Kazehana to meet them. While they wouldn't have a full date, they went to get some noodles, and they went to eat there.

He wasn't the first to arrive at the stall as Matsu finished her first bowl. Kazehana nudged her sister in the sides as their attention shifted to the Ashikabi. With a smile, Minato sat down.

"Good evening, Matsu, Kazehana." The two didn't waste time and pounced on their Ashikabi. With a hungry kiss, Kazehana found his mouth first and kissed his lips. She grinned as Minato growled in the kiss.

While it was true that an Ashikabi, he had to tend to them, his bond and the amount of sex made the guy frisky. He had to get used to the amount of attention he got from the Sekirei, which was great for him as Kazehana sucked in the kiss.

"Oy. Kazehana. Let him go." The Wind Flower laughed at Matsu, who was impatiently waiting. Minato was barely able to catch his breath before Matsu pressed her lips on him. He settled his hands on her hips while he smirked as Matsu got closer to him.

"Hey, Minato."

She said as she let her Ashikabi go. Some saliva was still on their lips as they blushed. "So happy to see me, Matsu?"

The girls nodded. "You best eat enough, big guy. Because you got one long night ahead of you."

A pleasurable chill ran down his spine. He had heard those words before and damn, did it always get him when he heard those words? It promised him enough. So with a smile, Minato sat down and ate while the Sekirei sat next to him.

When you got enough practice, you ignore the stares of guys who wondered how a guy like him got girls like them. But for the Sekirei, that was not their problem.

What was on their mind was more fun. So before long, they dragged Minato along with them to get some pleasure.

Checking in didn't take long, and while normally, they would kiss first before they undressed their Ashikabi, this time, Matsu fiddled on his pants while Kazehana kissed him. Minato let himself go limp as his more 'experienced' lovers have their way with him.

Typically, the Sekirei would allow him to go first as he was their Ashikabi, but for times like these, Minato's past didn't allow him to protest. He didn't mind the actions of letting his Sekirei go on him. It also meant that they had to do the work.

Fumbling with his pants, Matsu's hands did little to stop the arousal that Minato had been receiving. So when it was finally released from his pants, Minato couldn't help but smile that he finally got out of his pants. Matsu began to smile as Kazehana kissed the guy more but broke off to get his sweater off.

Minato let his arms up as Kazehana undressed him. Matsu pushed off his pants as she tried to suck even more. Not that he would stop that soon.

But he wasn't going to wait before they have done. So he tugged on Kazehana's clothes. While her dress showed enough of body, Minato wanted to see more of her body. Not that Kazehana minded the action. She let Minato take off her clothes but could feel that he kissed her lower collar and upper breasts. A soft squeeze made the guy happy.

Her as well. In their lust-filled world, Minato looked in the eyes of hers, and Kazehana kissed him again.

But then, there was a cough. Turning to Matsu, who had her fun with Little Minato, the two shook their heads. Minato helped her out her clothes, so the three were naked when they continued. Matsu began to suck more on his and used her tits to stimuli her Ashikabi more.

Minato and Kazehana had their fun as the guy couldn't react to Matsu's ministrations.

His fingers dripped down to Kazehana. The woman's eyes widened as she felt Minato entering her.

It was true that Minato was inexperienced when he began with all this, but he was a damn quick study. He learned quickly what his lovers liked and disliked. It also made the conversion for Chiho and Uzume easier.

The five were having sex with Minato for a few months (and intensively) before that Chiho and Uzume had their fun.

But that was for later, right now, Matsu found that Minato held it off for long enough. Not that she complained. She just found it fun to tease her Ashikabi. Minato held it off for and wasn't going to let go. But his free arm went to behind Matsu, and his fingers found a place.

Gripping her cheeks, Matsu tensed as she found her Ashikabi playing with her ass. Not that they had experimented on that part. It had danced in their heads but not that much.

Mainly due to the reason that they wanted to get knocked up. Using that part wasn't an answer to that.

Matsu briefly wondered if some saw it as staying pure till marriage. Because in her eyes, it wasn't.

In her thinking, she found a second pair of tits making themselves at home. Minato knew that Kazehana perfectly knew how to use her body to get attention. Several guys from her tour flaunted at her to see just a bit of her tits.

Despite it all, she stayed a virgin while she looked for her Ashikabi. Sure, Minaka wasn't Minato. Like all her sisters and she realized that she hadn't lost out on having Minato. The guy wasn't reliable at first, but he was soft and warm.

Kazehana and Matsu worked together on this while Minato rocked his hips. Their tits found pleasurable stimuli as their nipples found each other. It just helped to get his rocks off even more as he was captured between them.

Their grip on his dick had turned like a vice as they weren't going to let him go. Teasing licks, Minato found himself lost for words as his Sekirei began to go faster on him.

"Nearly there." He said to the two as his movements grew more frantic between them, jumping out, desperate now to let go what he had in store for them.

So when the Sekirei felt Minato trembling, Minato gave a loud groan. "Cumming." He muttered before his release painted them. Taking a few breaths, he sat up and looked at them.

"My, so much that you released," Kazehana said as she licked playfully what landed on her tits and face.

"Indeed, Mina-tan. Always one good job. Although it was a waste." Matsu took off her glasses and smiled at him.

For some reason, they found that Minato's roguish grin stood him well. Kazehana was tackled to the bed as Minato kissed her, his hands groping at her tits.

When he was sure that he had given them a good squeeze, Kazehana yelped pleasurably. "Oh my, Minato-kun. What a beast." Letting her go, he winked at her.

"Well, I got some girls telling me to be more assertive." He said as he positioned himself. Missionary worked for them the best.

"Smart ones," Kazehana smirked, and she found herself being filled by Minato. With a groan, she noticed that he had buried himself in her.

"No fair, Mina-tan," Matsu said as she pressed her tits in her back. Taking his other Sekirei and flipping her next to him, Minato smiled at her. "Give me some time."

He kissed Matsu as he rocked his hips in Kazehana. Her tits bounced up and down while Minato smiled in the kiss.

"Ah, Minato. That's it." With one hand, he groped the left tit of Kazehana while his right arm kept Matsu in place. He wasn't going to let her go.

"Kazehana, this is great." His groans weren't much understandable besides, as he enjoyed the feeling in her.

She wasn't going to let go.

"Minato. This feels great. Ah, oh, yes, there." With a louder moan, Kazehana found herself losing a battle.

The one to not lose it.

It was more than just sexual pleasure. The fact they had this bond, the event that they had missed each other, and the fact that Minato had learned to keep Kazehana down in this.

Kazehana preferred it when she laid down. Not going to fast was one thing Minato hadn't been doing. So he settled in slower thrusts.

It was something that he and Kazehana loved from each other. They liked it slower. So at an even pace, Minato went in and out her.

Her moans just grew longer, and her feeling in her loins began to build up. Minato couldn't help but enjoy how she decided to pull him closer, so his head was in her tits.

"Oh, no." The playful girl said. "Minato, you pervert." Looking at her, Minato pulled her up, so they were now in the seated position. Minato had liked this as well, especially since kissing was a lot easier. His hands went to her ass as she pressed him closer.

Matsu shook her head and sat by. Her fingers went inside. Not to relief herself but to keep herself wet. There was something about it to see their lover doing this to another girl. Not that Matsu was into that whole thing.

At least, this part was a lot more wholesome. She might have been a pervert but a real kink seeker, yeah, that was out. Matsu found herself imitating the moves that Minato did to Kazehana.

His hands went from her ass to her tits and her hair. He didn't pull her hair but kept it close to her. She was giving it ministrations while he enjoyed the feeling of the tits on his chest.

Kazehana knew that having a few Sekirei who could go a bit rougher on their Ashikabi, caused Minato to get some build. He was no longer scrawny. He wasn't a bodybuilder, more a swimmer like. His muscles grew in the longer end of this.

Kazehana thanked Musubi and Uzume especially. The Bear Fisted Sekirei was not delicate, and the reason why she was so strong was one thing. Minato could do nothing but grow stronger for her.

Not that the two minded.

As for Uzume, that was a different reason. The girl was a bit sturdier than Chiho, and even with her disease cured and her life starting, Chiho still wasn't as strong as Uzume hoped.

She was getting there, but all knew it could take years.

When Minato became her second Ashikabi, Uzume took full advantage of that. With her (tomboyish) tendencies, Minato had grown used to great hugs from Uzume as well.

The Veiled Sekirei could throw herself at full force at the male Ashikabi, and he could stay standing.

Kazehana wondered how it would be when they would have kids. But when she felt her loins burning, Minato looked a bit winded. His release had to come, and Kazehana smiled as she began to go faster.

Minato grit his teeth, and Kazehana could feel her pleasure building. Going faster in this, Kazehana softly bit in his neck as a way to keep her moans back. Her climax had come hard down, and Minato wasn't too far behind.

With a grunt, she could feel him filling her up, and then he let her go. There was a bit that came with him leaving her body, but most stayed in her body.

Kazehana caught her Ashikabi, out of breath.

She put him down, so she took the left arm. One more kiss on his lips and with a smile, she sighed contently.

Those orgies were always fun, and the Sekirei learned to grow used to a bit of waiting before action.

Matsu took the other arm of Minato, and she looked at him.

Down below, he needed a bit to catch his breath before they could go again. Not that the Wisdom Sekirei minded.

"You're getting better at this." When she bopped him on the nose, Minato smiled at her. Kazehana took it closer, and Minato's hands wandered.

"Lots of practice. And well, if I have to get you all pregnant, I want to make it al pleasurable for all of us." The girls blushed on that. Their faces could be used as flashlights by the sheer red on their faces.

"You intend to do that?" Kazehana asked.

"What? The promise I would make you pregnant or the promise that I'll make it fun." Minato asked, and the earnest tone hid the amount of fun he had when he teased them.

After that, Matsu smirked at him as she saw through the attempts. Saddling her Ashikabi, she looked at him with a smile.

"Well, good luck on that, Mina-tan." She slid down on his dick as she smirked as her Ashikabi was caught between her. Gritting his teeth, Minato settled in a soft pace with the Cybergirl above him.

He liked it there, but to avoid the pressure of her tits crushing his face (it was fun but made him cum too fast), he groped them and began to squeeze the tits softly.

There were just a bit smaller than Musubi's and Kazehana's, but there was no reason for him to complain as Matsu found her tits to be assaulted by him.

She smiled at him as he began to lift them while his thumbs buried in the soft flesh. His thrust came from below her body and rocking her hips along, Matsu found herself liking the pace.

It wasn't fast or a race. With taking it slower and burying himself in her, they could make it for longer as Matsu felt Minato hitting suitable spaces.

While she had her fun toys to play with and enjoy herself with, few things beat her Ashikabi. There were none. Sure, Minato might not be available like her toys all the time, but his hot rod was beating those things.

Her back was arched as she could feel her Ashikabi keeping her stretched up. She bounced in the lap while Kazehana demanded his lips on her face.

A groan made clear that Matsu clamped up at him but not too much as Minato's left hand went to her ass, and Matsu gulped as one finger slipped in. It was just one finger and one knuckle deep but not too much.

There was too much resistance for Minato to go in further, and it was meant to Matsu up but not to cause pain on her.

Her right hand went to her ass and took his hand away from the place. "Not yet, Mina-tan." Okay, that was great to hear.

Another hand went to tits and clamped down harder, indicating that Minato could go a bit rougher. While his teeth were grit, Minato let Matsu ride him, and she enjoyed the feeling of her Ashikabi, who explored her body.

She began to feel him up as well as she placed her hands eventually on his chest. It was so fun to see his muscles tense up under her grip. It was fun, and all but now, she had to do more.

"If you want to do more, Mina-tan," Slipping out from Minato, she turned around on all fours and wiggled her ass to him.

"Come and get it." She said, and Minato couldn't help but sigh. That wife of his was such a pervert.

"If you insist, Matsu-chan." He stood up and took his place. Doggy style wasn't something he did a lot, mainly because his other Sekirei preferred to see his face when he filled them up. Matsu, on the other hand, liked it a lot more like this.

So when Minato was inside her, he just stayed inside her and ground at her as far as he could without causing pain at her body.

Sex was a fun experience, but the line between pleasure and pain was one crossed easily, and Minato didn't like hurting others.

Matsu smiled while she was looking over her shoulder.

"Mina-tan, you're doing a really good job." She was just in time to see how Kazehana pulled him away for a kiss. "Kazehana-tan, can you give me this?"

"Sure thing, Matsu." The Wind Flower let Minato go and fell, while her lover made his sister-wife crazy.

The Ashikabi wasn't done with her just yet as his hands went to the tits. Keeping her trapped between her tits in his hands and her pussy in his dick, Minato made movements between those, and he could see how Matsu's tongue began to fall out her mouth. Not that abnormal given the amount of foreplay and fun they had before. He himself had blown out two loads tonight.

It hadn't been that long since his weekend with Tsukiumi, and he began to feel his body to tire out. Yet, he had an obligation towards Matsu, and he was going to make sure she had her fun.

Letting the tits go, the hands went to the waist, and he began to make out from her there. His hands were feeling delighted on the hips of his wife as Matsu couldn't help but feel the loins burning.

It was here, her release. One she waited days for.

"Mina-tan. So deep." She breathed out. "So good. Nearly there." She groaned as Minato took her face and made her turn his way.

With a kiss, he invaded two holes of Matsu, and his tongue slipped in, dominating her mouth. The shape of her eyes became hearts as she found herself losing to her pleasure. With a vice on her pussy, she came while Minato couldn't hold it in either.

With a groan, his third load blew out, and he pulled out of Matsu. His head was turning around, and he was glad that Kazehana caught him before he could fall on Matsu. The Cyber Maiden collapsed as well.

She was out like a light. Kazehana shook her head. They had booked the room for the night, and she knew that Minato needed his rest now.

Three loads, that was enough. They had fun, and in the morning, they could ask for more. Taking up Matsu, she placed her on the right of Minato whose eyes had been clouded with fatigue, but gratitude spoke to her.

"Thank you, Kazehana." With a smile, she took clean blankets and placed herself next to Minato. One last long kiss before sleep would claim them.

"It was fantastic, Minato." Making sure that he laid comfortably, Kazehana found an arm around her body and looked at Minato. He was drenched in sweat, his face was all red, but he had one big grin on his face.

"I hope it was. Sorry, we had just this."

Shaking her head, she kissed her Ashikabi again. "It was enough. To have kids, we need to do more. Either way, my Ashikabi-kun, sleep."

"Good night, Kazehana." And with two girls on his arms, Minato fell asleep.

The other Sekirei were in the Inn and they had their nights rest. Contrary to usual sleeping, they all slept in separate places. With three out of the bed, their dynamic would be too messed and so it was better for all to sleep in some other place.

Tsukiumi had taken Kusano as hugging toy to which the Green Girl protested but her elder insisted. So it was before long she fell asleep.

Kagari was sleeping alone in her room and she was happy with that. It did her good every so often.

Chiho had taken up residence into Uzume's room and she was happy to fall asleep there. She slept on the tits of her Sekirei and with a grin, she could feel good rest.

Musubi slept in Minato's room. Unlike her gym outfit she usually wore, she had taken some better clothes, namely a nightgown The Bear Sekirei had one good dream as she was walking around the place.

It was a huge field where there was some field. A field where there was some lemon tree. But she wasn't sure where she was.

Musubi was asleep and dreaming, she was aware of that. So was she inside her head?

But underneath the tree, there was one familiar sight. And when she got closer, the Sekirei began to smile. She ran to the sight and the person perked up to her.

With a smile, Yume caught Musubi in her arms. "Hello, Musubi." The Fate Sekirei said to the girl who she saved at the cost of her own life.

Musubi hugged her savior with tears and a smile. "Yume. Is this real?" The smile on her face made it clear it was.

Somehow.

"We're in your head. And yes, this is real. To a degree. Happy to see me, Musubi? Back from that tree in the sky." The girl nodded and she looked at Yume.

The woman wore the same uniform as the day she died.

"So how is life for you, Musubi? Your fights are done, aren't you sad that you didn't change Karasuba?" The girl sighed at that question.

"We tried and I tried my hardest. Among the Sekirei, she and you are the only ones that didn't come back. I tried."

"I know, my sweet, I know." With a smile, Yume patted on her lap and Musubi laid down. Looking at Yume, she couldn't help but reminisce about it.

"Don't worry, Musubi. Things are fine and I have seen what you have all done. I did come to tell you about the things that are going to happen. Especially surrounding your Ashikabi." Yume smiled and Musubi sighed.

"Are you disappointed with Minato? I do think Minato is one of the best Ashikabi's. He takes care of me and all the others." Musubi told Yume with vigor like fighting.

"I am not saying that. Minato is one of the finest I have ever seen. One of the weirdest given what he did with Number 10, Uzume but it is not about that."

Musubi had it figured out.

"Ichika Orimura."

Yume smiled at her.

"You are getting sharp, my sweet. Indeed. Ichika is indeed something you need to keep in mind. He is a good boy and there are some things. I also hear you intend to get children." Musubi nodded and looked in her own eyes.

"Yes. I and my sister wives really want to have kids. It will be fun. Our destiny." Yume said and she waved around the hair.

"I haven't been out since the last fight and I think I'll be around a bit more. Musubi. Take care of yourself." She nodded.

"And when you got a daughter, remember me." The Sekirei of Fate smiled at her and with that, Musubi woke up.

Wiping the bits of sleep out her eyes. It was still dark and she needed more sleep. She wasn't sure but she had one story to tell others. But now, she needed her rest.

'When I get a girl, I'll call her Yume.'

And that's it for now. I'm putting Brave New World on a bit of pause till I got my other fics updated. I want to have at least one chapter by the time their publish date rolls by.

As for this, I had intended some small bits but it didn't turn out like that. No harm in that, I guess.

And now an omake:

Takano Kouji laid in his bed. His eyes were focused on the ceiling of his room and there was nothing that could go through him.

There were bits that he heard. That the Sekirei Plan was over. That Minato Sahashi had won.

That this whole mess was over and done with.

What could he care? He didn't give one damn of what was going on outside.

For him and he was sure, a ton of others, this whole Sekirei Plan was thought out by one fucked-up scientist with way too much money and way too much free time.

For that stupid piece of human waste, Takano had lost the one thing that kept him going in this.

Namiji. Sekirei number 73.

A girl that was winged by him. A Sekirei he learned later.

The girl was something he had rarely seen before.

Her eyes, grey where he could get lost in and brown hair, that was wild around her head. With two longer strands to her. Her clothes were weird. Some red top with an open back and a white cloth around her hips.

It wasn't just her body.

The girl was cheerful and he could use that part in his life.

Tears streamed down his face. Sure, his friends told him that there were more girls and that he had missed some bits but he couldn't help but remember Namiji. All the bad luck he had in his life was countered by that one simple fact.

The fact that the girl loved him. That was all he needed to think about all this bad luck. Yet, he lost that all.

Taken out by a foe, far stronger than his girl, he nearly lost his own life. Lying in bed, he wondered if that was such a bad thing. He wouldn't have minded dying. It hurt, it hurt, it fucking hurt.

It hurt that he didn't have his girl around him. She had landed on his lap and that whole story of the aliens and stuff and MBI, it didn't make him interested.

His life with her, that was the thing Takano kept going for.

He wondered what he should do now. What was for him out there?

He heard that some Sekirei were getting back to life after the mess came crashing down and the island mess was resolved. Yet, for him, what did that matter?

Laying his head back, he now got how that Ashikabi felt when they defeated the other Sekirei.

Wallowing in his anger and sadness, he didn't notice the door opening.

A voice that came from behind him spoke.

"Takano?" Turning his head, he blinked once. Then twice. At last for a third time.

"Namiji?" He had been having dreams of seeing her again in his life but he woke up again with an empty feeling.

Yet, he was sure that he was awake and here, in the clothes when he lost her, she stood there.

"It's been a while." He was trying to process what was going on. Yet, he heard her voice and he was sure that it was her.

Walking out of the bed, he hobbled over to her. "Namiji." He breathed.

Touching her face, she found herself relishing in his touch.

"Is this real?" The guy asked and she nodded while she stood there. Her hand went to his and she began to cry.

"Indeed. I have been looking for you." She smiled at him and before she could say more, he pressed his lips on her. Before long, her wings came out.

"By my weapon, my Ashikabi will be protected." She said and he couldn't believe it.

"You came back." Takano hugged her and she returned it.

He felt his wounds hurting so Takano let her go. "Can you help me to my bed?" She nodded and carried him away. He sat down and she took a chair.

Putting him back, Namiji smiled at him. "Sorry I took so long. But it's been a while since I came back."

"How is this possible? I thought you died." Takano asked and the Sekirei shook her head.

"Nope. I was deactivated but thanks to the Ashikabi of the North, nearly all Sekirei came back to life. Minato Sahashi and his Sekirei went so far for us and they saved us. Not just me but nearly all of us."

The Ashikabi couldn't help but shake his head. "Suppose we can give him a visit. I think I owe him."

Namiji took a sheepish smile. "We do indeed. But you need to rest first, mister."

Takano laughed and he hugged his Sekirei. Looks like things were looking up for a change.

Saluut.
