"I'll take the Scythe witch," Kazehana says, blasting a strong wind at Number Fourteen.

Number Forty-Eight immediately charges Akitsu, giving the two Sekirei a rematch. That leaves Haruhime and Yahan to pick either Number 106 or 58.

Yahan moves into a shadow cast by a nearby building before reappearing in the shadow of Number 106. She tries to end it quickly with a dagger thrust, but misses as the girl dodges to the side.

"Hey, no fair, lady!" 106 says in a pouty tone, as if Yahan just cheated at a board game. "You're supposed to tell me your name first. I'm Number 106, Shijime."

Yahan stares at the girl, looking a little bit annoyed. I can somewhat understand why: the opponent she's chosen is an immature child, but she introduces herself nonetheless. "Number 57 Yahan, the Sekirei of darkness."

Shijime charges at Yahan as her sleeves flatten and stretch in a large paddle-like shape. She tries slapping Yahan, but she sinks into a shadow cast by a nearby house. This of course causes Shijime to miss her attack and smack into a bush.

With Yahan fighting 106, that left 58 for Haruhime. The blue haired Sekirei points her Tessen at the young dark-skinned girl. As she declares her name and number, 58 attacks while saying that she was Number 58, Kuzuri.

The now named Kuzuri jumps into the air, and precedes to come down on Haruhime with an axe kick. As Haruhime blocks the kick, the sound of metal is heard as her tessen makes contact with Kuzari's heel. Haruhime's block causes her to backflip by propelling herself off the impact. As her body turns in the air, I notice her heels are inch long metal spikes. She was a foot type Sekirei with a dangerous edge.

She lands on her hands, using her weight she lunges back towards Haruhime. This causes Haruhime to jump back, narrowly missing a stab to the gut with the spiked heels.

Unlike her sisters Akitsu has her opponent on the defensive as she throws volley after volley of icicles at Kujika. The dark skinned girl dodges with relative ease, but constant flow of icicles makes it hard for her to get in for an attack.

Akitsu then changes her tactic just slightly as she makes a trail of ice that snakes its way towards Kujika, as the icicle volley continues. Kujika jumps into the air, and slams down on the ice trail with her left elbow. The ice shatters as she quickly flips to her feet, before charging at Akitsu.

I look to my unofficial Sekirei to see Kazehana just playing with her opponent. She had moved her battle just slightly down the road from where I was standing. She was letting 14 charge at her, just to blast her back. It's clear that 14 was very annoyed by her actions. I figure Kazehana knew the urgency of the situation, but I could tell she was having some fun playing with her food. I know 14 wasn't much of a threat to Kazehana, so I decide to turn my focus back to my own Sekirei.

Yahan was continuing her hit and run tactics against Shijime. The young Sekirei was just jumping around while trying to smack Yahan with her paddle-like sleeves. It was clear she was a cloth type much like Uzume, although due to her much younger age she had a lot less control then Uzume.

Despite Yahan's ability to move quickly between Shadows, Shijime seemed to be avoiding her attacks with relative ease. I could feel Yahan's annoyance at this little girl who was seemingly getting the best of her. Even though I couldn't sense Shijime's emotions, I could tell that this was nothing but a game to her. It was blatantly obvious but she was treating her battle with Yahan as a game of high-stakes tag.

Haruhime had finally gotten an upper hand against Kuzuri, as she was now on the offensive. Kuzuri dodges as Haruhime repeatedly slashes at her. Kuzuri then takes to the sky again with a well-timed jump, before trying to bring her foot down again. The way she fought kind of reminded me of the blonde guy from One Piece.

When Haruhime blocks, Kuzuri propels herself off of the fans before landing on one hand. She immediately follows up with a spin kick, but Haruhime blocks every blow. I look back at Akitsu to see Kujika dodging all of her attacks, while simultaneously moving closer towards her.

Akitsu throws up a wall of ice, before Kujika smashes into it with her left elbow. After a second or two the ice wall shatters to pieces. Akitsu reacts quickly and materializes six icicles behind her. She launches them at Kujika, who swiftly manages to dodge all but one which pierces her left shoulder.

I look at the man in charge of these 4 beauties and could see a look of slight worry in his eyes. I could tell he was starting to fear that he might lose another one of his girls. I could understand his fear, as he had already lost one of his girls to me. But at the same time I saw the look of determination, as if he was determined that he could beat me. I turn to look around me, all of the Sekirei fights around me had stopped. Their gaze now focused on the battle between

The infamous Western Ashikabi and me, the no name female Ashikabi who had dared to challenge him.

The pressure I suddenly feel is immense. As if a million eyes are on me , just watching and waiting for me to fail. Still though I was determined to win, Uzume's life depended on my success. I decide to ignore all the people watching and focus on the fights of my Sekirei once more.

Kazehana yawns as she blasts yet another wind gust at Number Fourteen. It's becoming blatantly obvious Kazehana was starting to grow tired of this fight. The enemy Sekirei posed no threat to her. She sends an extremely powerful gust of wind that even I felt, despite the fact that I was a good distance away from her.

The blast smashes Fourteen into the wall of a building only about 20 feet from me. After being stuck in the wall for a moment or two, she finally falls to the ground. As she falls I catch a glimpse of the back of her neck, her Sekirei crest disappearing as she hits the ground.

Considering my knowledge of the plan I knew that Sanada probably felt his emotional connection to Fourteen sever. Even though I hadn't lost my Sekirei like he had, I can only imagine the inner turmoil he must have been feeling. As I looked over to him, I see tears starting to pour from his eyes confirming my suspicions. I briefly considered stopping before he lost anymore, but the thought of him coming back harder, stronger and with an even greater vengeance bushes that thought aside.

I looked back to Yahan who was starting to get rather frustrated with her opponent. Despite appearances Shijime was still a Sekirei, and she had the strength to back it up. She forms her sleeve into a giant paddle-like shape. She uses it to block Yahan's knife thrust. She then flings Yahan over her shoulders.

Yahan soares the smacking into the wall of the vines that served as a barrier around Izumo Inn. The vines grab her and throw her to the ground with a violent force. Even though I knew that she could easily survive that, I still feel my heart stop as she hits the ground. After a moment or two she doesn't get up, but simply sinks into the shadow cast by the wall.

I look at Shijime, her breathing is slightly erratic, indicating that she is starting to tire out. After a moment or two Yahan pops up behind Shimeji from the shadow of a nearby light post. She starts running towards the young Sekirei, as the unexpected happens. Sanada steps in the way of Yahan's attack.

Yahan's knife is thrust straight into his side, as she still clutches the handle in her hands. He yells in pain Sekirei all cry out in almost perfect union. "Master!"

They immediately abandon their fights as they run to their Ashikabi's side, as Yahan removes her knife. He starts to fall to the ground, he is caught by Kujika. "Master, are you okay?"

Yahan pulls out a small cloth from under her belt, as she begins to clean her knife clean. "I missed any vital organs, so he should be fine if you get medical attention. "

"Look, Nishi," I say. " I'm sorry! I've taken two Sekirei from you. I know that you're not a bad guy. When Seventeen died during our first encounter, I saw how shaken you were upon her death and saw your tears when Fourteen died. Despite your tough exterior, you are someone who cares greatly about the lives of your Sekirei. I know you might not care, what I'm going to say might even make you hate me more, but Uzume is mine. I used to work for MBI and one night about a year ago I had a fateful encounter with her. Ever since that night, I have been dreaming about her almost non-stop. I now realize that she is destined to be my Sekirei."

I look up slightly at Kujika, who has Nishi's head resting on her lap." I know that your Ashikabi is a good man, despite how he can sometimes act. I trust you can take care of him." She nods as I look up and walk towards the entrance to Izumo Inn.

"Good, you're here," comes the very familiar voice of Musubi. She moves aside, allowing me to walk into Izumo Inn. "She's waiting for you in the dining room."

Matsu says something from the earpiece in my ear, but I barely hear her. My mind is elsewhere. As I slowly start walking in, I can't help but feel nervous. It's finally time to see her, the one who has been on my mind for almost a year.

I can feel my heart racing, faster and faster with each step, as butterflies seem to flutter up in my stomach. As I approach the doorway to the dining room, I stop just short of being able to see in. All the possibilities of how this meeting can go come to my head at once.

What if she is somehow gone again? What if she somehow doesn't like me? What if I don't live up to her expectations and she rejects me?

Almost as if reading my mind, Matsu's voice comes from the earpiece in my left ear. "Don't worry, Saya! I know you're afraid, but don't let that stop you. I know she can't wait to finally be with you."

Akitsu put her hand on my shoulder. "Don't be afraid, Mistress. I feel how nervous you are, and it's understandable."

Haruhime continues what Akitsu had started saying. "You've been looking forward to this for a year, long before I was ever your Sekirei. You and Uzume have a beautiful love story and now it's time to finally get her. You deserve it!"

"Go show Number Ten that love and kindness that made me fall for you and I'm sure you'll be fine." Yahan's voice says from behind me.

With my Sekirei giving me words of encouragement, I step forward and turn into the dining room. I look up to see her sitting at the table on the other end of the room facing me.

"Ummm Uzume… I…. "

She gets up as I get a full view of her gorgeous figure. Words couldn't describe how beautiful she looks, somehow more than she did in my dreams.

"Saya you're finally here! I can't believe it, but you're finally here in front of me."

"Yes Uzume…" The feeling of nervousness swells up in my stomach again. "… I'm here!"

She walks towards me, and grabs me in a hug. I can feel her breasts pressing against my own, their bigger size enveloping mine. Then without warning, she pulls away slightly and kisses me.

The feeling of kissing her was like a dream come true. It was everything I could have hoped for and more. I glanced at her back to see her wings appear from her back. They look like they're made of cloth and are the purest white. I close my eyes, letting the moment of pure bliss wash over me. She's mine. After all this time we can finally be together.
