Minato's Raven feathers
Chapter one
Here's a new spinoff from the short introduction that I wrote on Assassin's journal. First of all, this story is still the same, only difference is that I'm changing the prologue from my first copy.
Second Yume and Karasuba will still be Minato's sekirei, they will be reintroduce differently and at a later time-line, compared to the first.
Lastly if you have not readed "A Reawakened God" Minato will not be canon Minato.
It's my birthday today!
Instead of doing homework that I should be doing, I decided to update a new chapter, so be grateful.
Just kidding.
I would like to thank everyone who reads and favorite my work, it means a lot to me, it really does. I know that I can't write something big that will receive a thousand reviews or whatever. So for you guys to give what I write a chance and like it, it means so much cause I'm not just writing and posting these and no one reads them. So thank you.

Talking: "Hello"
Thoughts: 'Hello'
In a library hidden underground filled with books, those books hanging from shelves in various places, and a single man sitting in a chair with a book in his hand and a small pile of them by his side.
The man had a calm, and peaceful aura around him that drew others to him, unlike his earlier years in high school when a scowl was always the first thing they saw, which gave people the opposite reaction.
Lazily reading the book in hand was a man of around six feet with a muscular build, he had orange, unruly hair that stop at his neckline with a bang falling between his warm brown eyes, and a light stubble under his chin. His clothes consist of white robes, a red sash around his waist and a black hooded haori over his robes.
This was Ichigo Kurosaki, or more well known as, the "Mentor".
Footsteps were heard coming down a flight of stairs, Ichigo already knew from sensing the person's spiritual pressure who it was. He closed his book and stood to greet his visitor.
"Mentor," said the man bowing his head in respect.
"Come on Xing, you know you don't have to address me so formally." Ichigo said with a carefree smile.
"Nonsense, as the highest ranking in our order, as well as our leader, you are to be respected no matter the circumstances." Guan Xing said, bowing his head once more.
Ichigo shook his head.
No matter what he says now, Xing won't change his mind.
"Then feel free to call me what you like." Giving up he walk to his desk in the back of the library. Two orbs made of energy hovered on the wooden desk. One orb was color black with a blue outline, and the second was grey, almost silver.
Xing followed behind Ichigo when he noticed the two orbs. "Mentor..." At the turning of his head, giving him his attention, Xing continued. "Those two orbs you have there, what are they?"
Turning to his desk Ichigo walk behind and sat down in the chair, keeping his gaze on the two hovering balls of energy. The two men stare at the orbs for a couple minutes before Ichigo broke the silence.
"Well Xing, if I have to be honest these two orbs that you see were made from my own power."
Silence!
Ichigo had shocked his student into silence but Xing didn't look surprise or have any trouble understanding what he had been told. He just stood there as if told a bad joke.
"So you mean to tell me that these were made from your spiritual pressure." Xing asked to make sure he heard it right.
"It's hard to believe at first but that's what happened. I created these two not to be used in war, but rather to prevent it. These orbs contain my power to which I will give to someone I deem worthy of using. I know I can't protect everyone which is why I created these. Whomever receives my power will be trusted to protect the world of the living."
"But Mentor? Would this not draw the attention of the Soul Society?" Xing ask in his ever present monotone speech.
"No worries Xing, with help from Urahara-san they will remain hidden even under the watchful eye of squad 12." Ichigo look down at the two orbs with a smile and warmth in his eyes directed at the orbs, whom as if feeling his happiness, pulsed once.
'I know you two will accomplish great things. Know that no matter what path you choose, I will always love you.'

Eight years later
The smell of blood was in the air and splattered on the walls of a dark alley. It was a normal occurrence for those living the city lifestyle to hear of murders or fights gone wrong in one of the many alleyways of the big city.
But never were they described as what was happening at this moment.
This was no gang executions nor was it a firefight with the police force. And it certainly wasn't a drunken brawl gone wrong.
Bodies were seen scattered with various openings from their heads to their chests. Blood splattered the walls and floors leaving an image of a massacre in it's wake. The sound of a man's whimpering was heard coming near the exit of the alley, a man was on his knees in tears, covered in blood not his own, mostly one of the other victims lying dead next to him.
Standing before him was a boy around eight years of age cover in blood from head to toe, again it was not his own. He stared coldly at the man before him crying in fear.
"W-w-what are you going to do to me?" The man questioned hoping that he would be spared.
"Why, I'm going to kill you is what I'm going to do." The child eye-smile, the blood on his face gave him a crazy and horrify look.
"But you're just a kid!"
The child stop smiling, replaced with cold eyes. The man had never seen on him even when he began killing his friends earlier.
"If you would have woken up from your own fantasy world, you know that some countries use child solders to build their armies. I guess you could say the same about me, however; I don't serve the military."
"Now where were we? Ah yes! You and your dead pals over there use these alleyways to pray on women so you can rape them. I don't know why the authority's have done nothing to prevent this, it just proves that they are ineffective at their jobs as protectors and keeping the peace."
"But those assholes are the one's who attacked those women. I'm innocence in all this. You got to believe me please! Please just let me go and I swear to our lord above that I will never do something like this ever again." The man pleaded while slowly standing to his feet.
"You know? There are many things I can't stand, one of those things happen to be people who lie in order to better themselves. It's pathetic and sad, your better saying those for your last words."
The child slowly cornered the man to a wall. His cold, unforgiving eyes bore holes into the desperate man's soul.
"You're just at fault for your crimes as your friends were, to me your just scum and I'll be more than happy to wipe you off the face of this earth. And besides, the world will not stop moving if pieces of filth like yourselves are erased."
He swiped his hand and the man scream before falling to the ground dead.
The boy walk out of the alley into the light of the moon to reveal messy black hair, gray colored eyes, and a grin plastered on his face.
"Man, tonight felt better than all the previous nights put together." The boy said wiping the blood off his face and smile as he walk home.
"Hopefully baa-chan ain't too mad that I skipped dinner, and I know Yukari-chan will throw a fit since I didn't play with her tonight. Oh what to do, what to do?" Sahashi Minato said to himself, walking the city streets.

(14 years later)
Shinto Tento formerly known as Tokyo until the company, MBI bought most of Tokyo allowing them to rename the city.
The year was 2023, late May.
And it was a year ago that the end of World War Three was announced. Japan had entered the future since then with all of the latest machinery, technology and electronics.
Examples being the uses of unmanned drones.
Before WW3 (drones or unmanned machines) were only use by the military for reconnaissances and surveillance, however during the war.
The world was introduce to the age of fighting drones.
Drones that were manufacture for recon were also build for combat. The war offered the perfect opportunity to show the world their capabilities.
With these drones introduction into the war effort they quickly brought a swift end to a five year period of fighting. Had these drones not join the fight when they did. The fighting would have far surpass it's predecessors of World War One and Two.
After the war, the UN (United Nations) decided the fair use of weaponized drones be distributed to every country around the globe as an offering of peace, and defenses against other drones.
The treaty was later named, "Treaty of Berlin" where the world leaders met and signed the document.
The mass manufacturing and exporting to every country around the world began with quick haste to keep ahead of schedule of two years. Within that time period, new lines of drones were introduce but these were not for combat. Instead to assist in everyday live by living alongside humans. The project was green lit and production began a new.
A single company that build itself up from nothing went on ahead to become one of the world's leading manufacturer of militarizes drones. Their dream were to usher in a new era of machines and electronics use by everyday people, their idea brought a new breed of fighting. This brought them fame, which opened new contracts with the United Nations and very much every country on the planet.
Only one company that began from nothing has single-handily become the most powerful in the world..
Their name was "Raven Incorporated".
xox
In the north of Shinto Tento sat the homes of those who wanted to live away from the city life. You'll rarely find any large skyscrapers that plague these city streets. The neighborhoods are quiet and peaceful, much different from the noises you would find in the large cities.
However one corporate building made it's home up north and was widely known by the people of Shinto Tento and the world for its popularity worldwide.
Raven Incorporated. The company known around globe as the number one manufacturer of militarizes unmanned drones.
While MBI tower copies Big Ben of England,
Raven Incorporated is a black tower with a spear-like tip. And currently looking at the night skies from the balcony on the higher floors was man who could very well be the CEO of the company.
He was the height of 6'1 with a mature and handsome face with a goatee, his eyes were the darkest gray and his hair, while messy with a few bangs covering his forehead where kept clean and straight. His hair color was black. He wore a suit of black blazer with white long-sleeved collared shirt underneath with a black tie, black dress pants and black dress shoes on his feet.
This man just screams "big money" or whatever other names rich business tycoons are called. He had a calm look on his face, his eyes staring at the stars in the sky almost as if in a trance. He was tore away from his thoughts from the ringing of his phone inside.
Bringing his left arm up revealed a Interactive Wrist Mounted Display, (I.W.M.D). Or commonly called as a Data glove paired mounted on his arm. He pushed the call button and waited for the person on the other line to speak.
"Hello baa-chan."
"Minato-chan. How have you been these past few months? You don't called as frequently as you did?"
"My apologies. I have been busy lately with everything revolving around the company, I'm sorry for not returning any of your calls."
"It's quite already, Minato-chan. I know how busy and frustrating it's become when running a successful business."
"I know. And again I'm sorry. I'll be sure to call at least once a week. It won't be frequent but it's what I can do right now. I'm sorry."
"Nevermind that. I only called to check on you and to tell you that Yukari-chan will be arriving in the city soon."
A smile formed on Minato's lips at the mention of his sister arriving in the city soon. It certainly has been quite some time since she last payed him a visit.
"Thank you for telling me this, baa-chan. Yukari can stay with me here when she gets here."
"You two are almost inseparable even when you were kids, you rarely left the other. Still, it's wonderful that you two get along so well. I leave you to your work, Minato-chan. Take care and Good night."
"Good night, baa-chan."
Pushing the call end button. Minato sighed in relief.
Minato is twenty two years old, living on his own, and is the sole founder and CEO of Raven Incorporated. The leading manufacturer of militarized drones created worldwide.
"Jarvis." A hologram of a male butler appear standing off to one side holding his arm against his chest and bowed. Jarvis was an elderly man of European descent in his early sixties with gray hair and gray colored eyes. He was wearing a male butler uniform of black jacket with white long-sleeved collared shirt, black pants and black dress shoes.
"Can I be of service to you Minato-sama? Would you like if I made you dinner?"
"It's fine Jarvis. I'm thinking of eating out tonight." Minato reenter his office and made for the door with Javis following alongside.
"Very good sir, would you like to ride in your limo?" The two arrive in the living room but continue towards the front door.
"I can drive myself but thanks."
Minato took his hooded black coat off the coat rack, put it on as well as the hood, hiding a majority of his face.
"If I receive any calls tell them I'll call in the morning, but if it's important or anything urgent then forward the call to my (I.W.M.D)."
"Very good, I await your return." He bowed.
"Later Jarvis, see you in a few hours." And walks out the door closing it behind him.

Minato sat at the bar of a victory grill enjoying a steak and a cold beer on the side. Around were several flat screen TV's hanging on the ceiling playing a variety of different sports or news broadcast such as CNN.
He ignored the talking behind him and continued to enjoy his steak.
Finishing his meal and chugging down the rest of his beverage. Minato left a twenty dollar tip at the bar and went to grab his coat from the coat rack in the front. He thank the staff for his meal and exited the restaurant.
xox
Walking on the sidewalk of the bustling city, Minato walk through the crowd not paying any attention to the people around him.
You don't pay attention to what they do and vise versa. It was a pleasant thought.
As he walk around aimlessly Minato was deep in thought. How he miss the days once were when he'd walk these streets as an everyday person instead of being the founder and CEO for a globally successful company.
However, he is not hounded by the media left and right. Unlike every celebrity and those important figures who are always documented on camera, Minato doesn't enjoy the spotlight. He doesn't like being followed constantly by the media to get his picture taken.
Taking many precautions in his appearances when in front of a camera Minato made it to where no one knows his face or name, only by his nickname given to him, "The Demon King". They call him this for his brutally and how he humiliates his competitors into submission.
Many are wary of him as they don't know who he will attack next, which leave many reluctant to stand against him. It helps to keep the fools who believe they're all high and mighty at bay and in their places beneath him.
Minato noticed that he arrived at a park in the center of the city, there were the occasional young and old couples walking around and the late workers on their way home after a long work day.
Wanting to take a shortcut, Minato walk the path to the other side of the park where the garage he parked his car was located.
The wind blew against his ears, it send shiver to his spine. Turning the collar of his coat to cover his ears he walk calmly through through the park.
Nearing the exit of the park Minato notice a crossroad, having parked his car in the east of the park he took the right path and continued walking. He stop however; when he saw a woman on a park bench wearing nothing but a blood stained lab coat. Her knees brought close to her chest.
She has, light brown hair and her face is kept in a blank, depressed expression. She was rather endow seeing how the lab coat that barely cover her body was tight around her large breast.
Minato look around to see if anyone else noticed her and saw that everyone was minding their own business. Either they saw her but ignore her anyways, or they didn't know what to do so they left her be.
Erasing any lingering thoughts on the matter, Minato walk towards her. When standing in front of her he removed his hood.
Standing in her line of vision the woman slowly look up to see who decided to approach her. She saw a male with a handsome face and messy black hair, his clothing said that he had money and lots of it. But when she saw his eyes she was momentarily shock at how intense his eyes were. It was as if he was looking through her, seeing her soul and trying to understand her.
Minato notice right away from his observation of her. That her blank, dead eyes held no warmth, no emotion that defines her personality. Instead just a hollowed out husk with no soul occupying it.
She has truly given up on life.
Going down on a knee, her eyes never leaving his. Minato offered a warm smile and introduce himself.
"What are you doing out here this late of night dress only in a lab coat? Would you please enlighten me?"
Never losing his smile, nor tearing his gaze away from this woman who widen her eyes just a bit at how soft this man was speaking to her. As if he was interest in her.
"Ah... I'm broken, nobody wants me. I'll never find my Ashikabi."
Her voice was indeed broken. Before Minato was someone who has completely given up on life. Her eyes held no life, no fire to continue, in other words she had given up.
"Although I don't understand on how you call yourselves broken when I don't see any injuries on you, and Ashikabi you called it?" She nodded once, "What tells you that you can't pursuit your own."
She pointed to the symbol on her forehead, a strange crimson mark of a bird
"This symbolizes that I 'm broken and I'll never find my Ashikabi."
Minato look at the mark on her forehead in a professional manner. From just by looking at it he could sense some type of energy build-up circling around the mark. It was screwing with her flow of energy, preventing her from what she said "being "winged". Looking closer Minato saw that whoever look at the mark before him was a idiot, obviously they didn't know what they were doing and try to fix it only making it worse.
Turning his gaze back to the woman who had gone back to looking down at her feet.
"I see this mark on your forehead acts as a seal that is disrupting your power flow, however it's completely weak. I can get rid of it for you, if you like?"
Hearing him say that, she quickly brought her eyes back to his, widen in surprise. This man who she doesn't know is offering to erase the thing that identity's her as a scrapped number.
If this was joke it certainly wasn't funny.
"Y-You can g-get rid of it?" She stutter over her words hoping that he wasn't lying to her, her eyes had a small amount of hope believing that he can truly do what he is applying.
Minato saw the change in her facial expression from hearing of the possibility of removing the mark. He offered a kind smile to her which redden her cheeks at seeing such a kind smile.
"Only if that's what you truly desire." His tone was warm, warmth that spread onto Akitsu. Causing her cheeks to develop a few shades of red, her heart was beating faster than normal seeing his gaze was solely on her.
Not trusting her voice she simply nodded.
Minato once again look at the mark. He raised both of his arms one behind Akitsu's head softly brushing her light-brown locks, she raised an eyebrow at this. Minato understood her confusion and offered a smile, his other arm using his thumb and index finger he press them against the mark. Closing his eyes he concentrated on pushing his energy into the mark to overload it.
Minato had several other plans to get rid of the mark but this was the quickest way. By overloading the energy sealed away by pushing it towards the mark on her forehead causing it to explode, releasing all the energy build-up at once.
He opened his eyes to see her expression, which was peaceful. Her eyes closed in bliss and a light dusting of red on her cheeks. He inwardly chuckle at this and continue with his concentration.
Two minutes later, Minato pull back with a warm smile on his face seeing that Akitsu had yet to open her eyes. He chuckled once more and call to her.
"How long are you going to be in that state of bliss?"
She open her eyes and saw Minato staring back at her with a grin. She immediately touch the mark on her forehead.
Minato reach into his coat pulling out his cell phone, a maroon colored Droid Ultra.
"Here this should help."
He offered to which she took and brought the phone to her forehead, seeing her reflection in the screen
And what she saw was no Sekirei mark on her forehead, the mark that had announce her as the scrapped number was gone. Her cream colored skin was all she saw in the reflection of the phone and no mark.
She suddenly felt her body being covered in something warm, she look up to see Minato without his coat on. She look to herself finding his coat on her person covering far more than the lab coat she was wearing.
"Keep it." He said to her before walking to the exit of park.
Taking his fifth step, he heard movement from behind him and then a voice.
"Wait!"
He stop mid-step, turned around to see the woman he had helped standing a couple feet from him. His coat fell to her knees and clinged to her body covering her naked skin
"Is there something else you require?" He turned to face her.
Akitsu having got him to stop slowly approach him in a calm manner. Every step she took was graceful and elegant that Minato swore he could mistake her from a rich family if not for her choice of dress.
Stopping a foot from each other they stay silent just looking into each others eyes. Finally she decided to break it.
"What is your name?"
"Minato, Sahashi Minato."
"Mi-na-to." She sounded out each word testing it on her tongue before reply. "Ah... Minato-sama."
Minato raised an eyebrow at the respectful suffix, surely from helping her get rid of that mark on her forehead would not warrant such praise from her. He look at her facial expression and saw that she was looking at him with a dazed expression, her eyes while still blank held warmth and a small trace of lust in them. Her cheeks were a healthy shade of red and her breathing was quick and short. He raised his eyebrows at the change.
"Now that you know my name, then may I ask you for yours?"
"Number 07, Akitsu,"
A number and name, a strange one indeed.
Minato lost himself in his thoughts, tearing his gaze away from Akitsu, speaking of which.
Akitsu grabbed hold of the black coat Minato had placed on her, she inhaled his scent which was rather intoxicating to her, She looked back seeing Minato was preoccupy in his own world, she smiled at him.
Not only had he done her a great services by removing the Sekirei mark that named her a scrapped number, he didn't even ask for anything in return, surely he would have wanted to be repay through sex.
Before being released, Akitsu had a moderate understanding on how to blend into society and knowledge on everything including sex.
But no, instead he just gave her his coat to keep and walked away.
Her heart beat started to beat faster and out of control, her breathing became even more labor as her cheeks turn a darker shade of red. Minato noticed her condition and before he could move. She reached him burying her head into his chest, he was a few feet taller than her, leaving her around the height of his neck.
"A-shikabi-sama." She drew out, her breathing steadying increasing, her body was overheating which was ironic given her power over ice. Minato wrapped his arms around Akitsu seeing that her face was flushed and her breathing was rather erratic.
"I have found you..." He turn to look down at Aktisu's flushed face staring back at him. "My Ashikabi-sama." She stood on her tip-toes placing her lips on his.
The desired affect was met.
As their lips met Minato was thinking a mile per minute on the current situation. He then saw ten light-blue colored pillars behind Akitsu's neck. Those pillars then transform into wings made of pure ice. The wings were beautiful and shaped from real ice, ice spikes grew from her wings giving off a pointed finish. Her wings grew till they almost envelop the whole park before shrinking back to normal size they hugged the two in a blanket of ice. Shrinking back, disappearing into the back of her neck, her Sekirei mark glowed and then stop.
Aktisu still clinging to her new Ashikabi had a look of bless having felt the wonders of receiving her wings, something she believe she would never experiences and it was all thanks to Minato, her Ashikabi who has given her a chance to be winged. Winged by her true Ashikabi.
His arms wrapped her tighter in his embrace, she look up to see her Ashikabi staring back at her with a warm smile. He kiss her forehead in the exact same spot her Sekirei mark was previously, her cheeks grew red once more from the subtle action.
"I may not completely understand what is going on, but... I do understand that you wanted this, am I right?" Akitsu only nodded into chest taking in his scent. He chuckled at this and brought her closer to him. "I may enjoy this as well."

(Earlier)
Back up north in a an old-traditional Japanese bordering house.
Sitting on the foyer was a beautiful woman with red-brown eyes and long lavender colored hair reaching her back with a few bangs framing her face in a hime style with a white ribbon on top of her head keeping her hair in place. She wore the outfit of a miko consisting of white haori with a sash keeping it together, purple hakama, and wooden geta sandals on her feet. She calmly sip her cup of tea, thinking back on the sudden surge of power she and most likely everyone inside the inn felt.
She was proven correct when the sound of feet running reach her ears.
"Miya! Did yo-"
"I know Kagari, I felt it too." She took a sip of her tea putting the cup down beside her, she look back to see Kagari relaxing with his back against the wall.
"I take it Matsu is already looking for whatever that was?" He ask, Miya turned to look up at the night sky.
"Like you, I myself am curious on what that could have possibly been, and knowing Matsu like I do, she enjoys a good puzzle." She laughed into her sleeve thinking on how a certain red head, glasses wearing pervert was having a field day on solving this mystery.
"Do you think this will cause trouble?" Kagari call to Miya staring at the back of her head. Miya remain silent in favor of watching the star filled night sky.
"I don't know. It's still to early to decide."
xox
Within the tower of MBI was chaos as scientists and workers of all ages ran around the room like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to understand the new develop that just came through.
"Everyone shut the hell up!" Immediately everyone stopped and stared at the person who had shouted only to recoil in fear at the scowl on the beautiful face of MBI's top scientist, Takami Sahashi.
The devil, herself.
"Instead of running like wanton idiots, how about you idiots, stop being idiots and do what you are pay to do!" Not wanting to incur her wrath any further everyone rush to a computer and began typing away.
The sound of maniacal laughter was heard coming up the stairs. Takami pay no attention as she already knew who it was.
"Ah, Takami-kun you really don't disappoint when it comes to putting others in their place, it's quite amusing I must say." He duck under a punch from Takami who's scowl was murderous seeing the bastard had dodged.
"What are you doing here Minaka?"
"Such a temper Takami-kun, if you continue to behave this way. It's no wonder that you aren't marry yet." Dodging another punch and another, believing she had given up. He relaxed only to be brought to the ground from having Takami slam her clipboard over his head.
"Idiot, why are you really here?" Standing back up as if he hadn't been hurt, Minaka spoke.
"I merely wish to see who winged our beloved Akitsu-chan. Before we release her, along with the single digits. She was incapable of being winged due to her condition, so from hearing that someone had done the impossible of winging Akitsu-chan I just had to put a face to the name." He finish in a pose with his arms high in the air, his head held back, and his white cape bellowing in an imaginary wind.
"Would you grow up!" She kick his feet from under him sending him face first down to the ground
"Bringing up Number 07's profile up now, mam!"
Soon an image of Akitsu with the crimson Sekirei mark on her forehead appeared along with some of her other personal information.
"Interesting, pull up a image of her Ashikabi would you please." Minaka ordered having stood back up when Akitsu's picture came up.
The man type in something on his computer before he gasp, grabbing Takami and Minaka's attention.
"What is it!" Takami yelled out what to know what brought panic to the man's face.
"I-I- You should see for yourself." He type in something else and an image appeared next to Akitsu's own, however; their was no mug-shot of who her Ashikabi was. Instead it only had the name written in the space for the image.
It said, "The Demon King."
There is much more to explore. Continue onwards to the next chapter!?
No?
Okay.
