AN: Here is chapter 2! Thank you for deciding to read after chapter 1 and as always, I hope you enjoy!

Naruto's left fist was barely blocked as he threw a fast jab at the struggling Musubi. Her face was scrunched up in the utmost concentration as she tried everything in her power to track his movements.

She wasn't surprised her Ashikabi was so strong. She knew he was amazing just based on how quickly he took out those Sekirei that were chasing her. But to have it turned against her made her realize just how scary he could be. And she knew he was holding back too.

"You need to dodge Musubi, not block. Blocking is great when necessary, but when you can dodge there will always be advantages there that you can take."

She caught her breath as he stopped training her to talk. She knew what he was saying was right, but he was just too quick for her.

"Before you say I'm moving too fast, I know exactly how much speed you can handle. You're just overextending yourself and wasting too much movement. We'll work on it."

Could he read minds? Was he hearing everything she was thinking?

"No. I could potentially read your mind, but that would be quite rude."

She pouted.

"What? But you just read my mind!"

"No, I just saw the face you were making and figured that was exactly what you were thinking. Was I right?"

"Yeah! Wow, that's pretty cool!"

Naruto laughed and got himself in a ready stance to train her again.

Musubi cried out in shock as his fist blurred forward, barely missing her head. As he continued throwing punches and kicks, this time she did slightly better as she was able to track his movements just slightly quicker.

Was Naruto going just a bit slower for her? Possibly. But he could see how discouraging it was not being able to dodge when he said to dodge, so he just slowed things down a bit for her.

"You're strong, but you haven't learned any fighting arts."

"Why would I need to paint a picture of people fighting?"

He almost facepalmed. "No, I mean martial arts, like Jiu jitsu."

"Oh!" She bonked her head and gave him her patented "duh" look. "Well, you're pretty strong, so if I just train with you, why would I need them?"

Naruto stopped their training and pointed at a training bag beside them.

"Tell me which punch is stronger."

He threw his first punch, knocking it over slightly, but making sure the training bag didn't go flying. Then he threw his next punch, putting his whole body into it, and the training bag skidded across the ground until it hit the wall.

Musubi's eyes lit up. "The second one!"

"Right. Do you know why that is?"

"Uh… Nope!"

Naruto set up the training bag again and redid the two punches exactly like before.

"And now?"

"Your whole body moved on the second punch."

"Good!" Naruto patted Musubi on the head, causing her to laugh and lean her head into his touch.

"That's the difference a fighting style can give you. One is raw in power, but weak because it's not focused, while the other is honed and can cause serious damage because it has been practiced thousands of times."

"So I just need to punch thousands of times?"

"Using the right training methods, sure."

He showed her how to punch several more times and eventually led her to a rock he had set up for this occasion.

"I'm going to show you how strong a punch should be with the amount of energy you have. Watch."

With a quick, but small burst of energy, Naruto let a punch fly and the boulder in front of him disintegrated into dust. Musubi's eyes sparkled as she looked from Naruto down to her fists.

"I can do that?"

"Yes, but you need to train both your fighting style and your energy. I've shown you how to train your punch, but now I need to show you how to increase your energy output."

She saluted as they walked over to training mats.

"I'm ready, Naruto sensei!"

"No, no you're not. But you will be."

Karasuba let her sword free from its sheath and watched, dissatisfied as the training dummies in front of her were all cut to ribbons. With sweat dripping down her forehead she sheathed her sword as someone entered the training grounds.

Seeing it was just Takami, Karasuba reigned in her anger at someone entering while she was practicing.

"What do you want?"

Takami narrowed her eyes as she fiddled with the datapad in her hand.

"I was wondering why you were training now of all times, when it's been months since the last time you've been in here. Did something happen?"

Karasuba narrowed her eyes at the remains of the dummies. A flash of blond appeared in her vision, making her scowl.

"That blond with Musubi. He's strong."

Takami couldn't help but scoff.

"You're scared of a human?"

Karasuba clutched the sword in her hand tighter before appearing just millimeters from Takami's neck. The scientist froze in fear as she dared not to make a move.

"I'm not scared of anyone."

She put her sword back in her sheath and stepped back so she could talk with Takami.

"That human is dangerous. The moment he looked at me my entire body told me I was going to die. I'm just making sure my sword skills are up to par so the next time we meet I can kill him if I need to."

Takami checked her datapad again and frowned as she saw no indication of where Naruto was. It took her a minute to work up the courage to talk again as her heart was still pounding in her chest.

"Well, that might be a long time since we still can't find him anywhere. No matter what we do or where we look, there's never any sign of him. The only reason we found him at the mall is because he suddenly appeared as we were looking for him. We think he wanted to be found."

Karasuba nodded as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Good. He'll make for some good prey. I've been bored watching after the other Sekirei. Not like anyone's doing anything stupid enough to be punished by me this early into the game."

"Just don't go destroying the city when you do see him. I'd hate to have to clean up that mess."

Karasuba scoffed, throwing her towel towards Takami who awkwardly dodged the sweat covered cloth.

As Karasuba left the room, she couldn't help but think about Naruto's eyes and how even though he was winking at her, she still could feel just how little he valued her life and how easy it would be for him to kill her.

Her heart started racing thinking about them fighting, tearing up the landscape in an epic clash of blades. She didn't see a sword on him, but from the way he carried himself, she could see he definitely knew how to wield one.

As she thought more about him, the thought of him being her Ashikabi popped into her head. Then she promptly laughed out loud, scaring the scientists around her.

What was she thinking? The only thing humans had ever made her feel was disgust. That was never going to change, even if a human was stronger than her.

Naruto found himself waking up on top of a rooftop. As he reoriented himself to the strange and new experience, he saw a blonde woman in a maid outfit staring him down. Looking around at the half-finished landscape, he realized he was currently dreaming, though it was far more real than a normal dream.

The blonde in front of him scowled.

"Thou monkey, thou shalt never even think of laying thine hands upon my maidenly body."

Naruto scratched the back of his head, wondering if maybe he somehow got a concussion. Seriously, what was going on.

"Look, I've never met you before in my life. I have no desire to even come close to you, let alone touch you." He paused, looking at her strangely. "Why are you so angry with me?"

"Does it matter why I hatest thou? Just know that this maiden hates thee."

"You're being so unreasonable right now. I've never even met you before and you're saying that you hate me? What the hell?"

The blond conjured water from the air and threw it at him, but Naruto easily dodged to the side. That was when he noticed her slightly haggard breathing.

Her face, set in a perpetual scowl, continued glaring at him.

"Thou art trash and does not even deserve to breathe the same air as thineself."

Naruto, finally fed up with this woman who was insulting him out of nowhere, looked around the dream once more.

"Look, I'm sick of having you just randomly insult me. Don't bring me back here again. I don't plan on ever speaking with you outside of this dream world, which I get the feeling is what you want."

"Thou thinkest I did this by choice? I would never dream of a hairless monkey."

"Great, another insult. Look, woman, even if you are somehow reacting to me and reaching out through a dream, we're never being bonded. You've done nothing but insult me and I already have a loving Sekirei."

Her face turned bright red, as both anger and embarrassment flared to life.

"Then that means her and thou… Perverted ape!"

A tidal wave of water appeared behind her and as it went to crash forward, Naruto simply stepped through it and got closer to her.

As she tried taking a step back, she found she couldn't no matter how hard she tried. When she saw the look in her eyes she wished she could be anywhere but where she was.

Naruto was well and truly pissed. He went to bed after him and Musubi had a great night together then expected to dream until he woke up to a beautiful naked woman in his arms. Instead, he was pulled into a dream with a woman cosplaying and acting like she was from some medieval era throwing insults at him.

"You need to be taught a lesson."

Her eyes widened as his fist came crashing towards her face, sending her flying and shattering the dream they were in. As Naruto's eyes opened in the real world, he couldn't help but scowl at the ceiling. He was never meeting that woman in real life as long as he could help it.

Musubi stirred until she was awake and seeing Naruto with his eyes open, she got up and rubbed her eyes.

"Is it morning already?"

His eyes were drawn to her hanging breasts, but quickly found her eyes again.

"No, Musubi. I just had a bad dream. Let's go back to bed."

"Okay. Good night."

He smiled as she immediately conked out on top of him. Giving her head a kiss, he fell back asleep as well, this time dreaming of memories long past.

Naruto watched curiously as the two lightning twins he had knocked out were jumping from roof to roof. If Musubi was with him she more than likely would have declared her name in some grandiose fashion, including what number Sekirei she was, then chased after them in retribution.

Leaving her at the inn with Uzume might have been the best idea he's had in a while. While he might not necessarily like Miya, he could see she was more than strong enough to protect Musubi if she needed help.

And it wasn't as if Musubi wanted to stay there. She told him to take her with him so she could protect him and Naruto had to explain that he had been alone for a very long time and that he is going to need some alone time every once in a while because it's what he is used to.

Did she get the hint? Not really. She was extremely dense and only ever focused when it came to fighting, but he made her stay at the inn so it worked out in its own way.

As his thoughts wandered, the twins finally found a Sekirei and began chasing the poor girl with lightning. The Sekirei they were following had a spear that she was using to mitigate and disperse what was being thrown at her, which was quite impressive.

The twins held hands and shot off a beam of lightning that was stronger than the previous ones, causing the Sekirei to jump out of the way and unfortunately into a different lightning bolt they threw to the side in preparation for her move.

As Naruto continued watching, curious about the abilities of the aliens, he saw a masked Sekirei sneak to just outside of their awareness and watch the battlefield.

He wondered if they were going to jump in and take them all down when they were tired, or perhaps the male Sekirei was an ally of one side. Though, it was hard to say he was an ally when he was watching everything unfold without helping whatsoever. If he was an ally of the lightning twins, he had missed several opportunities for a sneak attack that would have taken down the spear-user. If he was an ally of the lone Sekirei, he was an asshole that was just watching her get zapped.

Finally, the lone, blond Sekirei was caught off guard and zapped for the last time. Her unconscious body fell to the ground in a heap as the twins caught their breath from overusing their energy.

Before the lightning twins could even move, the masked Sekirei finally made his move and shot fireballs at the two twins that hit the both of them in the back. It must have been a small explosion because the fire didn't leave burn marks on the twins, but did get them falling forward.

When they got up to see what happened, they caught sight of the masked Sekirei, looked at each other, then sprinted away from the battlefield. It seemed like the masked Sekirei was pretty well known by the two.

From what Naruto could gather, he was more than likely some sort of guardian angel for unwinged Sekirei, but didn't want to interfere in battles until he had to, which was rude since he could have saved the poor girl a lot of pain. He also must have had a reputation and was strong given how quickly the two of them ran for it.

What really surprised Naruto is that he didn't take out the two lightning users. If he just let them be, they were going to do the same thing again and try to kill another Sekirei down the road. Maybe the aliens frowned upon killing, though if that was the case Naruto wasn't sure what else the lightning twins were going to do to the downed Sekirei after they won, because even she would get back up to find her Ashikabi. This was all so confusing.

As the masked Sekirei went to run away from the scene, he happened to run straight into Naruto's direction. His eyes widened seeing another person and he lit a fireball up in his hand. Naruto awkwardly waved, not really knowing what else to do in this situation.

"Hey."

For some reason his short hello caught the masked man off guard.

"Uh, hello."

"Sorry to intrude, but I'm trying to scout out the competition and see what other Sekirei there are. My Sekirei is safe and happy at home and I want to make sure she's okay."

The masked man relaxed, sensing his words were true and glad that this mysterious man was treating his Sekirei well.

"If you'll excuse me, I'll be off."

"Ah, wait. I didn't catch your name. My name is Naruto."

The masked man took a second to think about whether or not to give out his name.

"Kagari."

And with that, he was off. What Naruto didn't say, as it really didn't pertain to the situation, was that Kagari really looked like someone Naruto used to know back in the day. The only reason that would have been awkward to say is that he didn't really like that person.

Back at the inn, Naruto took off his shoes in the entrance and greeted Musubi who bounced in place when she saw him come up.

"Naruto! I just had the best tea ever!"

He chuckled and patted her head as he walked up to her.

"Did you make sure to thank Miya for it?"

"Uh huh! I sure did."

Miya walked around the corner and Naruto gave her a nod to let him know he was there. The purple haired woman smiled, bowed, then continued with whatever she was doing.

"Where's Uzume?"

Musubi thought about it for a minute, a literal minute, and then finally said, "I think she went out. Sorry, I was just too focused on that tea. I also practiced my fighting though!"

"Great! I'm excited to see how much better you are."

As he went to ask her to spar with him, a white haired Sekirei walked into the building. Upon seeing Naruto he froze.

Naruto chuckled awkwardly and said, "Uh, long time no see, Kagari."

Knowing it would be pointless to try and protect his cover, Kagari sighed. Could this day get any worse. "Naruto. My real name is Homura. Kagari is my cover name."

"Got it. This is my Sekirei, Musubi."

As he went to introduce her, Musubi bounced forward and stuck her hand out for Homura to take.

"Hi! I'm Musubi, Sekirei number 88!"

Homura, not wanting to be rude, nodded his head at Musubi.

"It's nice to meet you Musubi. I'm number 6."

Her eyes sparkled and she stepped forward.

"Woah! That means you're super strong. Can we fight?"

Naruto grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her back.

"Woah there. You don't need to pick a fight with everyone you meet. If Homura wants to, he'll fight you. But don't go expecting everyone to be as battle crazy as you, my little lunatic."

Musubi giggled and bonked her head.

Miya chose this time to come around the corner and give Homura some tea.

"Thanks, Miya."

"You're welcome dear. You should probably get ready for work."

Homura winced and looked up at the sky.

"Ugh, you're right. It was nice meeting you two."

"Likewise."

"Yup! See ya!"

As Homura walked up to his room, Naruto said, "I met those lightning twins again today, Musubi."

"Did you beat 'em up again?"

"No, Homura did. I was just scouting things out."

Miya perked her ears up and asked, "Did you say again? Naruto, are you able to beat Sekirei in combat?"

Musubi bounced in place and said, "You won't believe it, but he totally can! Those two were chasing me for so long and I got all tired and fell on Naruto. When I went to protect him, even knowing I couldn't beat them, he just became super fast and punched them both into walls. It was so cool!"

As Miya turned to Naruto questioningly, he just gave her a smile.

"I eat my greens."

She gave him a harder look.

"Regularly."

She didn't get to say anything to him as Musubi said, "I've trained with him a couple times now and he's beaten me every time. I just can't catch up to him."

Naruto couldn't help but shake his head at his Sekirei. She really couldn't read the room. It was so obvious Naruto didn't want to explain to Miya that he could fight Sekirei easily, but Musubi just kept going. Though, he knew to be careful in the future he would really need to not let Musubi know certain things.

While he felt bad not telling her everything, she was so dense he doubted she'd even get upset if she found out. That's not to say it wasn't funny when she talked about their sex life with Uzume though. That was a memory he would treasure.

Around the corner Homura came dressed in a suit with a questioning look towards Naruto, which probably meant he heard a lot of what was said.

"If you could beat Sekirei in a fight, why didn't you intervene in the fight earlier today?"

Naruto gave him a look.

"Why didn't you intervene earlier? Instead you just watched as she got zapped a bunch of times."

Homura winced, knowing that was true, but wanted to keep the momentum of the conversation on his side.

"I'm the protector of the unwinged Sekirei. Technically I'm not supposed to be fighting any Sekirei right now, but I'm bending the rules to help out those who are unwinged, which means I have to be careful when I attack."

Naruto hm'ed, not hating, but also not liking the answer. On another note, there was another question he really wanted to ask Miya.

"Miya, if you don't mind me asking, what number are you?"

The woman smiled and shrugged.

"Who knows?"

Naruto rolled his eyes and decided not to push it. Judging by her energy levels, she was in a whole other league from Homura who was supposed to be number six. Though, Naruto still wasn't sure if numbers mattered that much as he hadn't seen enough Sekirei fights while knowing their numbers to run enough of an analysis.

"Another question, Homura, if you have the time."

Homura looked at the clock, and seeing he still had about five minutes before he had to leave, nodded his head.

"Those twins that look like they came out of a bad bondage porno-"

Miya's eyes widened and Homura smacked his forehead.

"-Why were they attacking both Musubi and that other Sekirei? As a matter of fact, why is your race attacking each other to begin with?"

He frowned and adjusted his tie before answering.

"The leader of MBI, Hiroto Minaka, is currently creating some type of game with Sekirei as the pieces. We're currently in phase one, where Sekirei are being released from MBI to find their Ashikabis. Once enough Sekirei are winged, phase two will start."

"Phase two?"

Homura sighed.

"I wish I knew what was going to happen in phase two, but if I had to guess, it would be that us Sekirei are going to have to fight each other. I'm unsure why, but Minaka is a monster so it could be for any number of reasons."

Naruto looked between Homura and Miya with a tilted head.

"I don't understand. Why not just kill Minaka?"

Miya blinked, not comprehending what was just said.

"Excuse me?"

"Why not just kill the man? If he is doing all of this, I would assume it would all be over if the leader of the plan went and died. So, why hasn't anyone just offed him?"

Miya frowned, not liking the implication that Naruto's head immediately went to killing. It happened to bring back enough bad memories of her own.

"Two reasons. One, he has a kill switch for all current Sekirei that he can use at any time. And two, killing isn't the answer."

Now it was Naruto's turn to give Miya a look.

"I'm sorry, did you just say killing isn't the answer when the man is clearly trying to get other people to kill each other?"

Homura backed up, seeing Miya starting to get angry. He did not want to be anywhere near her when that mask came out.

She glared at Naruto, causing a mask to form behind her head which looked like a demon. Musubi went to inch closer to Naruto, but he put his hand out in front of her to keep her back.

Naruto exhaled a breath of energy that instantly shattered it, causing Miya to stumble back in shock and Homura to stare in shock.

"I see you're a hypocrite, Miya."

"W-What?"

"That mask was made from bloodlust, which only ever develops if you've killed someone. So don't you dare talk down to me like you're trying to judge me for my decision to kill someone when you've done the same."

Homura turned to Miya in shock.

"Wait, is that true?"

Miya gritted her teeth and didn't say a word as she stormed off, leaving three people with varying reactions. Musubi looked confused on how she should feel, Homura was in shock, trying to process the fact that the scary landlady Miya had killed people, and Naruto having more reasons not to like Miya.

Deciding that enough was enough, Naruto turned to leave.

"I think we're done here for today, Musubi. Homura, it was nice to meet you."

Even though he had lost his composure, Homura was anything if polite. "You too, Naruto, Musubi."

"Bye, Homura! We'll fight next time!"

Homura shook his head as he watched the two walk out of the inn. As he looked back behind him, he could see a head of red hair sticking out from behind a corner. Not wanting to be on the receiving end of her weirdness before work, he decided to leave the house now as well, all the while still thinking over the fact that Miya was a killer and apparently so too was Naruto.

Musubi let out a moan of pleasure as Naruto's fingers curled inside of her. Just before she could have what Naruto called an orgasm, he stopped and pushed her onto the bed so she was laying down looking up at him.

"W-Why did you stop? I was so close."

Naruto smiled and leaned down to kiss her, causing a burst of light to spread through the room as her wings spread out, even when her back was covered by the bed.

"Sorry, Musubi. But if it's okay with you, I wanted to have sex tonight and I wanted to save your orgasm for when we're more intimate."

Musubi smiled wide and hugged Naruto, her breasts pushing against his chest.

"I'd love to! That means we'll be the closest we can ever be, right?"

"It does. And I want you to be my first."

"Woah, so it's super special then. Okay, let's do it!"

Naruto laughed as Musubi pulled away from the hug so she was laying back down. Not really knowing what to do in this scenario, but knowing what needs to happen for sex, Musubi took her fingers and spread her pussy as wide as it could go.

Naruto felt his blood boil at the sight of such a beautiful woman offering herself to him. All of the years he had been alive and he had never even come close to being intimate with someone made this moment all the more special for him.

"I love you, Musubi."

"I love you too, Naruto. Now come on! I wanna feel sex!"

He smiled and lined his dick up with her open slit. With one quick thrust forward, he was all the way inside of her, causing Musubi to let out her loudest moan of the night and for Naruto to grunt in pleasure.

He was surprised by just how warm and tight she was. It was like her insides were made to feel the best that they could for him.

Musubi was in heaven right now as she felt like her insides were stuffed full of pure pleasure. Uzume had told her all about how sex worked, but nothing prepared her for just how good it felt. Every part of her body tingled as Naruto thrusted back and forth inside of her, leaving her toes curling involuntarily as she tried anything to withstand the pleasure.

Naruto's hands roamed Musubi's body until they landed on her breasts, lightly pinching her nipples. He had found she was super sensitive there and loved teasing her. As she moaned out his name, he found himself picking up the pace with his thrusts so he didn't disappoint her. By the look on her face as her tongue stuck out cutely from her mouth, he knew he was at least doing a good job.

"K-Kiss me, Ashikabi."

Naruto leaned down and stuck his tongue in Musubi's mouth, forcing her to try and fail to keep up with his kiss. She was too far gone in pleasure to put up any sort of resistance. As her wet folds milked Naruto, he could feel himself starting to get close to cumming.

"I'm gonna cum, Musubi."

She struggled, but was finally able to say, "M-Me too. Let's d-do it together!"

As Naruto buried himself inside her as much as he could, he let out wave after wave of cum, causing her stomach to just barely but noticeable inflate if you were looking for it.

Musubi's nails scratched into Naruto's back as she felt him pour inside of her and release her own orgasm around his cock. Her screams would have woken up any of their neighbors if they lived in an apartment as she let the pleasure take over her body.

They both settled into each other's arms as their orgasms were spent. Naruto brushed the bangs out of Musubi's face and leaned in to kiss her forehead. She giggled and buried her head into the crook of his neck.

"I love you so much, Naruto."

He smiled and said, "I love you too."

AN: Another chapter finished! To be honest, I'm not too keen on writing lemons, but I think the emotions behind them are important and can really give two characters good bonding scenes.
