Chapter 2
The Girl who fell from the Sky
"Come on sir, please, I'll take any position you've got" Mike said to the old man before him in a black business suit
"Sorry kid, but with your lack of work experience and your references were unreachable I'm afraid I can't give you the job" the old man said making Mike sigh
"Alright then, thank you for your time though" Mike said bowing to the old man as he left the office
Yes today was yet another failed interview for a job, third time this week mind you, and Mike and his friends were starting to get desperate. You see ever since the four of them came to this world they were a little…short on cash you can say. Luckily for them Caleb had thought ahead and had some emergency savings in Yen for them to use. Unfortunately it was only able to get them through one month of rent at their apartment, so they all went on non-stop job hunts to help support them but with barley any information on them it had not been easy. So far they have been scrapping by on odd jobs but it was barely coming close to their quota, which leads us to here where Mike was riding the train back to his neighborhood, while calling his friend to tell him the bad news
"Hey Caleb" Mike said, disappointment evident in his voice
"Hey man, jeez what happened to you?" Caleb asked noticing the sad tone in Mike's voice
"Didn't get the job, again" Mike replied as Caleb sighed on the other side of the phone
"Well at lest you tried, don't worry dude we still have time…I hope" Caleb said making Mike grimace
"Yeah me too" Caleb added as he looked out the window and saw the famous MBI tower in the distance, "Hey man my stop is coming up, why don't we all talk more when I get home" Mike asked
"Yeah sure man, I'll see you soon" Caleb replied as he hung up
Stowing away his phone, Mike couldn't help but stare out at the tower in the distance.
'MBI, biggest conglomerate in this city and already have purchased half of this city already… I won't mind having that kind of cash right now' Mike thought smiling to himself
Not soon after the train then stopped at the station as Mike walked off, hands stuffed in his pockets.
"Man, got rejected from another job, were low on money and not to mention a few weeks are left before our rent is due…what else could happen today" Mike said with his head downcast
"Look out!" a voice suddenly shouted from above
Mike then stopped in his tracks with a look of surprise. He then looked up and what he saw was… a girl.
"Please move!" she then shouted
Mike was still in a state of confusion so he didn't register the voice before the girl then slammed right into him, causing them to go crashing to the ground.
"…ouch" Mike simply said as he rubbed his head in pain
Mike then slowly opened his eyes as the pain started to fade, only to look in shock and embarrassment when his sight rested upon…a women's butt.
'Ah! What the heck!' Mike screamed in his mind
"Uh, I should've have jumped from that building" the girl said as she crawled off of Mike
The girl then turned to look at Mike who flashed him a very beautiful smile, causing Mike to blush.
"You must be the kind man that caught me, thank you so much" she said, which snapped Mike from his stupor
"Well, I wouldn't call it catching per say" Mike added rubbing the back of head, embarrassed
As Mike awkwardly smiled at the strange girl, he couldn't help but take in her features. She had short brown hair with a little bang hanging in the front with soft brown eyes. As for her attire she wore a white GI uniform like that of a martial artsiest, a pink skirt around her waist and along with that she also wore red combat boots and fighter gloves.
'Wow, she's…cute' Mike thought
Suddenly the sound of crackling electricity could be heard causing the girl to gasp and leap forward, pushing Mike out of way of a sudden lightning bolt. Seeing this, Mike couldn't help but gasp at this sight, trying to wrap his head around what he saw.
'Lightning bolt?! Where did that even come from there's not even a cloud in the sky' Mike thought
"There's no use in running you know" a voice said from above
Mike and the girl then looked up and were surprised to see twin girls on a rooftop, both of them wearing something akin to a … BDMS outfit, one being crimson while the other was purple.
"Why don't you just fight us already" one of the twins said
The girl then stood up and looked at the two with a stern look, almost being adorable confident, if that was possible.
"I can't fight, at least not yet anyway" the girl replied while Mike just looked confused
After she said that however, both of the twins just smirked as they held up their hands, causing lighting to arc out from between their fingers. Mike looked in shock at the scene before him, as he tried to figure out what was going on right now.
"Woah, I thought we were the only super powered people in this city?" Mike whispered to himself
Suddenly Mike felt his hand being grabbed, looking over he saw it was girl. Then before he could say anything, the girl then bolted down the street at amazing speed, leaving the lighting twins in the dust.
(****)
Finally they had stopped and were now standing by a river as the girl tried to catch her breath. Even Mike seemed out of breath, but mostly from the adrenaline rush he just experienced.
'Wow! This chick is fast!' Mike thought as he collected himself
"We should be safe here for a little while, hopeful they don't find us here" the girl said with a cute smile
"Well considering the fact you ran over 4 miles while dragging me along with you, I think your right" Mike joked trying to lighten the mood.
Luckily it seemed to work because the girl then giggled at this and again it sounded so adorable to Mike's ears making him blush. The girl's eyes then widen in surprise as she inspected his hand all the while Mike couldn't help but blush harder at the contact.
"Is your hand okay, I didn't pull on it to hard did I?" the girl asked nervously
"Naw, its fine" Mike replied, making the girl let out a sigh of comfort
"That's good to hear, Oh, that reminds me I never introduced myself" she said as she bowed quickly, "my name is Musubi, what's yours?" the now named Musubi asked
"Mike, Mike Spectrum" Mike answered
"Mike? Sounds foreign" Musubi remarked titling her head in confusion
"It is, I'm from America actually" Mike added making her smile
"Really! That's so amazing!" Musubi said with stars in her eyes, while Mike looked away embarrassed
'I'm not all that cool' Mike thought blushing
Suddenly Musubi then started to titter until she started to fall over. Quickly, Mike then rushed over and grabbed the girl in his arms as he looked at her with worry.
"Musubi! Are you okay?!" Mike asked with worry
(****)
Not to long after Mike had got Musubi to their apartment and right now the girl was chowing down on some leftover pasta they had yesterday.
'So you fainted from hunger huh' Mike thought as she watched the girl slurp down the food before her
Luckily Mike's friends weren't home at the time, because he really didn't feel like explaining this whole mess to his friends, at least not yet.
"So Musubi, you feel better?" Mike asked
Musubi then looked at him with puppy dog eyes and seemed to crying tears of …joy?
"Thank you so much Mike, not only did you save but you also gave me food how can I ever repay you?!" Musubi cried out making Mike blush
"No it's fine, have as much as you want" Mike replied assuring her
After saying that Musubi then went back to eating this made Mike smile, Mike then went deep into thought as he replayed the events of today in his head.
'Okay to recap here, a strange girl fell from the sky and was chased by two skimpy wearing twins that harness electricity, man what is going on in this city?' Mike thought to himself
"Um, Mike?" Musubi said getting his attention
When he looked at her, he saw that she looked a little sadden by something.
"Mike, can I ask you something?" Musubi asked confusing Mike, "I…don't have any place to stay" she said, shocking Mike
"What!" Mike shouted as Musubi looked down with guilt
"Yes and I was wondering, if I can stay here for the night?" Musubi asked, hopefully looking at Mike.
Now a normal person with money problems would probably say no but Mike…was anything but normal.
"Yeah I guess could stay, I'll have to run it by my friends but I'm sure they'll be cool with it" Mike replied making the young girl smile with such joy
"Really?! Oh thank you so much, you've saved me once again!" Musubi exclaimed with great enthusiasm which made Mike smile as well
Of course after hearing the words "saved me", made him remember the moment with the electric twins which brought some other questions to his mind.
"Hey Musubi, can I ask about…" Mike said until he saw the look on Musubi's face
Her eyes were half lidded and seemed to be in a dream like state causing Mike to blush and slightly back away from the approaching girl.
"Your so kind and thoughtful Mike, I really hope my ashikabi is like you" she said, which lead to Mike being confused again
"Ashikabi? What's that?" Mike asked
Suddenly Musubi then held Mike's hand in hers, causing him to blush again at the contact.
"Our ashikabi is our destined one, the one we are supposed to find" she said in a longing tone as she moved Mike's hand closer to her chest, causing Mike to blush harder, "I've been searching for mine for so long, but know he is out there and someday…I'll find him" she said now placing Mike's hand upon her chest.
Suddenly, what felt like a spark, went right through them causing the two to gasp in shock. The feeling they just felt, it was like a static shock coursing through their bodies, almost like a linking current connecting the two of them together… of course Mike's brain then caught up to him and quickly pulled away from Musubi's left boob. Quickly getting up, Mike then walked to the door quickly and opened while forcing a smile on his face.
"Sorry, but I need to call my friends really quick about this, so just make yourself comfortable okay?" Mike quickly said as he closed the door behind him as Musubi tilted her head in confusion.
Outside, Mike leaned against the door of their apartment has he's mind was a buzz with all sorts of thoughts, mostly about…that.
'What the heck was that?! What kind of girl does that?!' Mike shouted in his head as he looked down at his hand, 'Though I have to admit…they did feel quite soft' Mike thought
"Mr. Spectrum" a voice said causing Mike to snap out of his thoughts and look at who spoke
It was their landlord, an old short man with a semi bald head and seemed to look like a toad.
"I heard voices, is there someone else in there with you, cause I know your friends aren't home yet" he said eyeing the door suspiciously
Knowing how the man doesn't like freeloader, Mike instantly sat up to address the man and deter him from Musubi.
"Oh it was nothing sir, just had my phone up really loud on speaker, that's all" Mike lied hoping he bought
Luckily he seemed to buy this but until getting up in Mike's face with an intimidating glare.
"You know I only rented this place for the four you right, so if you got a women living in their…I'll throw you and your goody two-shoes friends out of here!" he shouted
"Yeah I got" Mike said awkwardly smiling at him
The old man then walked down the stairs, causing Mike to let out a sigh of relief and out of the old man's earshot.
'Dodged that bullet' Mike thought
"Mike?" Musubi said from behind the door, causing Mike straighten up
"Yeah Musubi" Mike said as the door opened
On the other side was a slightly sadden Musubi, which caused heartache to Mike.
"Mike, I'm sorry my lack of modesty scared you" Musubi said looking downcast
"No, your fine you just caught me off guard that's all" Mike said, trying to make her feel better
Musubi then smiled at this as a small blush appeared on her face.
"Did you at least…enjoy it?" she asked, obviously referring to their "moment" causing Mike's face to go full on red
"Well…it did feel…nice" Mike replied, rubbing the back of his head embarrassed
Suddenly, Musubi then gained the same puppy dog eyes from before, causing Mike to become frantic, wondering if he had hurt the girl's feelings.
"What?! Did I say something wrong?!" Mike quickly asked, hoping to remedy the situation
"Mike…I'm really hungry again" she said, causing Mike to sweat drop at this
"Oh" Mike simply replied as he felt idiotic for his thinking.
(****)
Mike and Musubi then walked out a local restaurant, one looking quite happy, while the other looked quite depressed.
"So…you get enough to eat?" Mike asked, hoping that it was
"Yep, thank you so much" Musubi replied, with a smile as Mike let out a sigh of relief
Mike then pulled out his wallet and looked inside, only to groan inwardly from the empty space with in.
'Oh man, those ten entrees that she ordered wiped me out, Caleb is not going to like this" Mike thought, his face full of despair.
"Hey, since you treated me to lunch how about I cook you and your friends' dinner?" Musubi asked, surprising him
"Really?" Mike asked as Musubi nodded
'Well…Caleb has said he needs a break after so many nights cooking for us' Mike thought, until agreeing to this
"Yeah sure, I'll get some money from the bank and I'll meet at the store okay?" Mike asked as she nodded in agreement
As Mike walked to the bank he could help but feel a little bad about the whole thing.
"She's so nice and caring, but I know the others won't let her stay for long, money is already a problem as it is" Mike said to himself, already feeling bad about what could possibly happen.
Looking up, Mike then caught sight of a small group ahead, curious he deiced to check it out. Looking ahead, he saw two women in maid outfits, one being blue and the other red. Although when Mike looked at their faces he instantly recognized the two lighting twins from early that day. Unfortunately before he could leave, the twins then turned and saw him, instantly recognizing him.
"Hey! You're that guy that ran off with that Sekirei!" the blue one shouted at Mike
"And you're the girls you tried to electrocute me this morning!" Mike retorted causing the twins to glare at them
"Talk! Where is that Sekirei?!" the red one shouted confusing Mike
"Sekirei?" he said confused, wondering what they were talking about
"Mike!" a familiar voice said behind him
Quickly turning around, Mike saw it was Musubi running toward him and was completely unaware of the situation.
"Silly me, I forgot to ask what you want for dinner" she called out but Mike didn't listen
"Musubi, get out of here now!" Mike shouted at her causing her to stop and look confused
Then the sound of crackling electricity could be heard behind Mike, causing him turn and look at the twins, seeing electricity crackling between their fingers.
"Running into us twice in one day, wow talk about a small city huh" the blue one said, sporting a wicked grin
"You two again?!" Musubi said, shocked by this
"Musubi run now!" Mike shouted again, but it was too late
"To slow!" they shouted as lighting rained down
It then struck close to Musubi, causing her scream in pain and her outfit to be slightly torn as she fell to the ground.
"Musubi!" Mike shouted running toward her
Mike then came to her side, hoping she was okay, luckily she seemed okay for the most part just a few cuts and bruises. The twins then stood before them, looking ready to throw down again with Musubi.
"We thought you would emerge after meeting this guy, but that doesn't seem to be the case" one of them said as electricity arced
"Which is good news for us!" They shouted as they launched another blast at Musubi
Acting quick however, Mike then jumped forward and pushed Musubi out of the way, causing the blast to miss its target.
"Musubi, are you okay?!" Mike asked, all while she looked up at him with amazement in her eyes
"You're so brave" she quietly said
Mike would have appreciated the compliment if it weren't for the lighting twins behind who were approaching. Quickly getting up, Mike then spread out his arms to the side as he stood in their way.
"Leave her alone now, what did she ever do to you two?!" Mike shouted at the two, but all they did was just scoff
"Why do you care, it's not like you're her ashikabi" blue said, but Mike then glared back at her
"Maybe not, but that doesn't mean I'm just going to stand by and let you hurt her!" Mike shouted back
BA-BUMP
Musubi's heart then fluttered as her face started to heat up and her breath became heavy, as heat built up in her chest.
'What…what is this feeling?' she thought as breathed heavily
"Well if you want to die alongside her, then we'll grant you your wish" the twins said as lighting started to arc between them again.
Thinking quickly, Mike saw an empty soda can on the ground, which got him an idea. Mike then kicked the soda can in the air, distracting the two until doing a spin kick and sending the can flying at one of the twins face, hitting her square in the nose.
"Ow! My nose!" she shouted, covering herself with her hands in pain
Seeing the opportunity, Mike then scoped up Musubi in his arms bridal style and started to run down the sidewalk.
"They're getting away, get them!" blue said as she and her twin started to throw lightning bolts at the two.
Quickly Mike then turned down an alley and made a quick left, hoping to throw the twins off his trail. Luckily it seemed to work as he came to a stop in an empty alley as Mike set Musubi down in order to catch his breath.
"Good, I think we lost them" Mike said
He then turned to Musubi and couldn't help but notice she looked to be breathing hard and her face was quite flushed.
"Musubi, are you okay?" Mike said as he placed his forearm against her forehead and gasped, "Your burning up!" he exclaimed now worried for the young girl
"Mike…my body…it's burning up!" Musubi exclaimed as she gripped her chest
"Are you sick or something?" Mike asked until the sound of heels on concrete caught his attention
"Ha, thought you can get away from us huh?" the blue twin said with a wicked grin
"How about you give us that Sekirei and just walk away" the red twin said as they slowly approached the two
Seeing the two approaching, Mike couldn't help but grit his teeth in frustration at the situation.
'Great, both exits are blocked, two super powered twins coming at us and to make matters worse Musubi seems to be sick' Mike thought, as he tried to rack his brain for any solutions to his problem…but only one came to mind, 'Guess I have no choice' Mike thought with a sigh
Mike then placed Musubi on the side and walked out to meet the two twins with a steeled look on his face.
"You want to get to her, you have to go through me" Mike said, causing the twins to laugh
"I'll give you credit for bravery, foolish bravery, but bravery none the less" the blue twin as electricity danced around her fingers, "So…any last words?" she said
Mike then smirked as his hands started to slightly glow with a golden light, which did not go unnoticed by Musubi, who looked at the Mike with confusion.
"Yeah, just three… IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"
Mike's hands then exploded in golden light as he thrusted his hand into the air and crossed his arms and uncrossed them, sort of like drawing in the air.
"Gold Ranger Power!"
Then, a huge golden light then shined out causing everyone to cover their eyes from the brightness.
Mike then uncrossed his arms, causing electricity to jump across his arms. Then a grid pattern appeared across his body and started to form a black and gold suit around his body until forming a helmet around his head.
(Play Gold Ranger Theme)
When the light then died down causing the girls to look and what they saw was a shock. Mike now stood in a black and golden suit, with a black helmet. He had a golden chest plate on his shoulders with golden knee and elbow guards. He also had a gold belt and white gloves and boots, while his helmet had a golden outline for the kanji for King.
"What the heck!" the twins exclaimed in surprise at the humans new look
"Mike?" Musubi said as she looked at the man's appearance
"Alright ladies, let's dance!" Mike shouted as he jumped into battle
Before they could react, Mike then kicked one of the twins in the midsection, sending her flying into a far wall. Following that up with a punch to the other twin's midsection sending her flying too. Angered, the blue twin then charged at Mike with a kick to the head but Mike easily blocked it with his forearm. Mike then hit her with elbow strike to the chest sending her sprawling on the ground in pain.
"Is that all you got?" Mike taunted which only angered them more
The other twin came at with a right hook, but Mike ducked under it but the red twin then tried with a left hook but Mike caught it and flipped her over his shoulder on the ground.
"Come one try harder, I barely worked up a sweat!" Mike taunted again
Growling at the man, they then raised their hands to the sky causing lighting to stir around them.
"Eat this!" they shouted as a lightning bolt came crashing down
But to their shock, Mike then turned into a flash of gold and black and dodged the lightning bolt and landed behind them. Quickly the twins turned around to face him, only to see Mike hold up his hand close to his face.
"Okay then, it's time for a gold rush!" Mike shouted
Suddenly, a staff appeared in his hand, with the king symbol on the tip and a blade at the end of it. Mike then rushed forward as blur and went past the two, which caused electricity to hit their bodies causing them to scream in pain and fall to the floor to their knees.
"Had enough?!" Mike shouted at them making them glare
"As if" they said, trying to stand back up
"Alright, have it your way" Mike replied as he held out his staff
He then pressed a button on it, causing the symbol to extend and start to collect energy in the tip. Mike then thrusted the staff forward and shot a volley of golden orbs at the twins, causing a huge explosion that blow them back.
(End theme)
Seeing the twins were down and thankfully not dead, Mike then ran back to Musubi who looked at him with shock and amazement.
"Mike? What are you?" she asked making Mike chuckle
Mike then reached up and placed his hands on his helmet and took it off revealing his smiling face.
"I'm a defender, a protector and a Power Ranger" Mike said as Musubi blushed
Mike then heard groaning coming from the twins as they slowly got back up, all be it really banged up.
"Ugh, don't you two every give up" he said as he was about to get up
Suddenly he felt his arm being tugged down causing him to look down at Musubi who was now really close to him.
"Musubi?" Mike said, blushing from the closeness, only to blush harder as she got closer
"Oh crap!" the twins shouted as they started to run toward them
But before they could reach them, before Mike could react…Musubi then planted her soft lips upon his.
"No!" they shouted, as Musubi was surrounded by a pink glow
Suddenly, one the most breath taking wings ever sprang from Musubi's back making Mike gawk in wonder.
"Just great, she just had to emerge here of all places" the blue twin said, sounding disappointed
"Yeah, just as we were about to get her" the other twin said
The blue twin then charged electricity in their hand as they glared at Mike as she approached him.
"Well at least we can take care of the guy who got in our way" she said
Hearing that Mike then quickly hit her with a kick, sending her skirting across the ground as Mike put his helmet back on.
"You want to go round two? I'll happily agree" Mike said holding his staff making the girl growl
"Hikari watch out" The red twin shouted making Mike and her look up
Both were shocked to see Musubi heading toward her, causing the lighting girl to raise a shield to block the attack which to her and Mike's surprise was really strong.
"Leave my ashikabi alone!" she shouted making the girl named Hikari smirk
"Wow, your strong now, you might able to challenge my sister and I" she said
Mike then decided to join in the attack, surprising Hikari as the combined attack broke the shield, causing her and her sister to jump away.
"But we don't fight those who have emerged, so good luck guiding your guy to the higher planes above" Hikari called out as she and her sister left
Once they were gone, Musubi then turned to Mike with a smile. Also seeing the danger was gone Mike then crossed his arms.
"Power Down!" he called out
He's suit then vanished leaving Mike in his black shirt, blue jeans and golden colored jacket.
"Wow, Mike, your so cool, I've never meet anyone like you before!" she said with excitement as Mike blushed
"I would believe so" Mike replied with a nervous smile
Unfortunately, now that the danger was gone Mike noticed that Musubi's outfit was torn, causing him see a large amount of her cleavage.
"Aw geez! Here wear this!" Mike said as she handed him his coat
Once he placed it on Musubi, he couldn't help but think about all that has happened.
"Um Musubi, what exactly are you?" Mike asked
"Well, we are what you call…Sekireis."
(*****)
It was now later that night and the three friends, Arthur, Caleb and Ben were in the living room watching T.V. while waiting for their final friend to come back.
"It's almost 9 o'clock, where is he?" Caleb said looking at the front door nervously
"Relax dude, this is Mike were talking about, he's probably helping someone and got hanged up, you know how he is" Ben replied making Caleb relax a little
"Yeah, you may be right" he said until turning to Arthur, "what about you, you think Mike is okay?" Caleb asked
Arthur then took out a card from his outfit and looked it over until turning to Caleb.
"The cards say that he is fine…but we will experience a strange event soon" he replied confusing the two boys
"Really? What?" Ben asked
Suddenly they heard the front door open, making the other sigh in relief.
"About time dude, seriously what kept…?" Ben said until freezing mid-sentence as he turned around
The others looked as well and couldn't help but gawk at the sight, because there in the doorway was Mike…with a voluptuous girl beside him wearing his jacket.
"Hey guys" Mike said awkwardly as Musubi just smiled
"Hello, it's nice to meet you all" Musubi added
The others then looked at Mike with death stares making him sweat profoundly.
"Explain…now" Caleb said in low threating voice
After explaining the situation to his friends, and getting Musubi some clothes, the others were trying hard to process what they just heard.
"So let me get this straight… you got hit by this girl from the sky, you got into a fight with two lighting throwing chicks and … that girl kissed you" Caleb said, recapping everything
"Yep, that's basically it in a nutshell" Mike said
His friends then were silent for a long time, until Ben then walked up to him with a death glare and grabbed hold of his shoulders…and started to shake him violently.
"YOU LUCK PUNK, HOW DARE YOU GET A ROCKING BABE LIKE THAT WITHOUT US!" Ben shouted as the others just rolled their eyes at this.
"Ta da!" a voice said out of nowhere causing everyone to be spooked
Turning to where the voice came from they saw it came from the T.V., which now had a picture of a white haired man with a white suit and cape.
"Opps, did I forget to turn off the T.V., my bad" Ben said reaching for the remote
"No, wait don't turn it off" the man said causing everyone to look in shock at the T.V.
"Wait your talking to us" Mike asked just as Musubi walked into the room
"Oh professor!" she said with a smile
"Wait you know this guy?" Mike asked as she nodded
"Yep, he's the professor and the president" Musubi replied confusing everyone
"President?" Everyone said, making the man on the T.V. chuckle
"Well if you don't know who I am, you really should watch the news more, Caleb Spectrum, Arthur Caliber, Caleb Temple and Ben Fossil" the man said, shocking everyone that he knew their names, "Now listen up Mr. Spectrum because as of right now you have become part of the Sekirei Plan" he said
"Sekirei Plan?" Mike said in confusion
After a while, the strange man gave them all a detailed explanation about this so called game called the Sekirei Plan. Although through out it, the four of them couldn't help but be a little ticked off about the whole thing.
"So do you understand?" the man asked
"Yeah I think so, basically in this game Sekireis have to battle it out in secret while we Ashikabis are there partners in this" Mike said, repeating what the man said
"That's right, oh and beside from your friends keep this whole thing hush, hush" he said making everyone, except for Musubi, glare at him
"And what happens if we don't?" Ben asked as the man chuckled again
"Or else my people we'll take you all away and deal with you accordingly" he replied making everyone glare harder, "so anyway with that out of the way, have fun and take care of yourself number 88 aka Musubi" the man said
"Sure thing professor" Musubi said as the T.V shut off
Everyone then looked at the screen with looks of disbelief on their faces at what had transpired, quickly turning to looks of irritation.
"Great, so now Mike is in the middle of a game that if he doesn't stay quiet about, he'll be "dealt with accordantly", great what else can go wrong today" Ben said with a humph
Suddenly a banging could be heard from the front door causing everyone to look at it with surprise.
"I'll get it" Mike said as stood up to get the door
Opening it he was then meet with a large man in a black suit and seemed to be carrying a large box. Mike then noticed the MBI badge on his suit and looked at the box he was holding.
"Uh is that for me?" Mike asked
But the man didn't reply instead he simply put the box in his hands and left, confusing Mike.
"Okay what?" Mike said
Opening the box, everyone saw it was full of Musubi's clothes, which greatly excited the brunette.
"They sent me my cloths!" she shouted with glee as everyone sighed
"Well, at least we don't have to buy clothes for her" Caleb said, relieved he didn't need to spend money
Suddenly Musubi then started to unbutton the jacket they gave her, causing everyone to go red with embarrassment.
"Okay, everyone out now, girl changing!" Mike called out as everyone headed for the door
"Wait Mike" Musubi called out, causing him to turn and look at her, "No matter what happens, I promise I will fight for you no matter what!" she said with such confidence
"Musubi" Mike breathed out; feeling touched by his her words
Unfortunately everyone just looked at the two with a look of "really dude".
"Anybody else feel like a third wheel here" Ben said as the three of them raised their hands
"I knew it" a very angry voice said
Everyone then turned to the voice and couldn't but gulp at the sight of their landlord in their doorway, and not looking so happy right now.
"Uh what sir I can explain!" Mike tried to say but it was too late.
"GET OUT!"
(*****)
It was now 10:30 now and both Mike and Musubi were now sitting on a bench in the park, thinking about what had happened. Luckily everyone was busy trying to find a new home for them and decided to let the two just…figure things out.
"Ah man, got sucked into death match game against my will, barely have any money and to make things worse we just kicked out our apartment…what else could go wrong today?" Mike said looking up at the sky
Suddenly the rumble of thunder could be heard as rain started to pour down on them.
"Of course" Mike said now sounding depressed
"I'm sorry Mike" Musubi said making him look at her with a raised eyebrow, "I'm really sorry this stuff happened to you, maybe if I didn't…" she said until Mike then cut her off quickly
"No, no it's not your fault, this stuff just happens is all" Mike quickly said, which seemed to cheer Musubi up a bit.
'Of course were still homeless and low on money' Mike thought with a frown
"Um Mike" Musubi said getting his attention, "I may not know how but…I promise that I'll help you no matter what, your my ashikabi and I'll do anything for you!" Musubi said
Hearing this Mike couldn't help but smile at this but also feel … connected somehow. Mike then got up and grabbed her hand, making Musubi blush slightly.
"Thank you, Musubi, but you don't have to do this alone you know" Mike said confusing Musubi, "If I remember correctly I'm your partner in all this, so matter what happens, we'll face it together I mean after all you've seen what I can do" Mike said with a chuckle to help lighten the mood
Hearing all this Musubi couldn't help but smile and her heart to flutter as she leaned…and kissed Mike once again. Just like last time the same wings appeared on her back as steeped away from as she glowed pink.
