Say cheers to a twisted future
Summary: One man has wandered the world, seen everything it has to offer, warlords, messiahs, death and life, it was a circle that he couldn't escape, a boring circle that left him tired, and cold; at least until they came along… Naruto x Harem my first sekirei crossover tell me what you think.
Story start!
He clenched his eyes together, breathing deeply through his nose as the engines of the aeroplane began to wind down.
What was the reason for this man's reaction you're wondering?
It was a pudgy man, slouched in the seat next to him, sweat coating his pale skin in a thin film that had begun to stink.
The man glanced over at him, crinkled bags of tired grey skin gathering under his slightly bulging blue eyes.
"It wasn't that bad of a flight was it" the man's sweaty palms conformed to his solid shoulder as he apparently tried to steady himself.
'All passengers please exit the plane in an orderly manner!"
The sound of the flight hostess echoed through the plane as seatbelts throughout the plane unbuckled and many impatient people stood up as the muttering came to a crescendo.
Eventually everyone had begun moving, he followed suit after several dozen people passed by him he ghosted into the line and made his way out of the plane and up the steel corridor that was the exit ramp.
With a distinct lack of baggage he bypassed the luggage carousels and continued onto the border control where, upon joining the queue he noted several 'distinct' changes to the border management system.
It wasn't manned
It seemed to be laser operated if the lights glaring out of the machine were any indication.
It looked damn accurate
Cursing under his breath he pulled out the flimsy booklet from his pocket and, calmly continued up the line until it was his turn upon which he flipped the position of the booklet and pressed it against the lit up card symbol.
'Ping!'
The lights installed in the machine flashed green before the barriers opened viciously making him shiver at the force.
Passing through the gate he bypassed the duty free and made a beeline for the airport exit.
His journey to freedom was interrupted though as 3 figures dropped in front of him, not fazing him, but not settling him either.
The one with grey hair grinned at him, and he couldn't help but notice the tints of red staining some of her teeth.
"A violent one do we have here" Naruto thought, his intense, burning blue eyed gaze picking up on the subtle twitches and jerks of impatient muscles.
Then suddenly!
Naruto lazily twisted his torso to the left, his body flowing around the gleaming silver blade of the grey haired woman who grinned a bloody smile and drew her arm back to her side, extending her initial stab into a swipe that surely would have cleaved the blondes head in two had he not tilted his head at the smallest of angles, letting the instrument of death fly over his head and, with its gathered momentum, bury in the ground as the woman leapt at him with a war cry.
Absently he noticed the pink haired flat chested one and the reaper looking woman stayed back, as if afraid of what the irate looking woman rushing at him would do to them if interrupted.
Mind whirring for a fraction of a second he made a lightning quick decision on his path to the doors.
Taking a lengthy stride forward he surprised the woman as he stepped completely inside her perimeter, thereby disabling the cutting force of the nodachi she wielded and rendering her down to pure hand to hand combat which seemed, hopefully, like something she seemed weak in.
He was proven correct as he placed a powerful blow to her intestines, small in its range but the sudden acceleration proved enough to make the attack a debilitating blow that showed of her face as spittle from her now open mouth landed on his shoulder.
"GACK!"
She make a strange noise as she collapsed onto his fist, her body falling like a sack of potatoes that he caught before laying her on the airports marble flooring.
Noting her still conscious status he mentally sighed before he stood back up and turned to the other two enforcers who paled and stepped aside as he casually made his way through the crowds as if he hadn't just knocked somebody out with one blow.
And therefore, as the crowds gathered to watch the 3 women make their way out of the airport, one only semi-conscious the blonde disappeared into the bustling crowds and became what, by now, he should have been.
A ghost.
Slamming a pale hand down against the control panel she commanded Takami Sahashi, stone faced looked down upon her researchers while her other hand came up and fit the recently lit cigarette back into her mouth "what's the status on the sekirei release!" she barked as one man bearing deep brown hair and a pair of glasses turned in his desk chair to look at her.
"The current release is 1-75 have been currently deployed, at the rate of release we are currently performing the full 108 should be roaming the city by tomorrow".
Takami grimaced and took a long drag from the burning material hanging between her lips.
Breathing the smoke out through her nose she nodded and turned her eyes away from the screen to look over her shoulder at the eccentric man that was her director and 'secret' husband.
"Director, did you hear that?" she asked as the white haired, caped man turned and grinned a maniacal smile that sent shivers down her spine.
"Yes Takami chan, and once all the sekirei have been winged we SHALL BRING ABOUT AN AGE OF GODS!" he screamed to the heavens as he raised his nose to the roof.
And was subsequently drop kicked by Takami who sighed and spat her cigarette out on his face causing him to wail.
"Takami chan you're so mean!"
Upon leaving the airport the blonde crossed it off of his mental checklist and moved onto the next matter at hand.
Acquiring lodgings.
Sighing he ran a hand through his hair and Yawned, ploughing through a crowd without care as he turned into the residential district of northern Shinto teito and began browsing the boarding houses.
After several minutes of just quickly glancing at the prices he breathed a snort of air through his nose and exhaled slowly.
"Not one room" he pursed his lips and continued on down the street, eventually coming to the end of it, and the last house.
With a sigh and kick of his heel he tilted his head to the side and glanced at the price, eyes widening in surprise as he took in the low price.
"Interesting, and surprisingly cheap, now let's see who the land owner is now"
Stepping through the porch and up to the main establishment he knocked lightly on the wooded door, apparently the insides were rather spacious as his knocks echoed slightly.
Stilling his features and bidding his right foot to stop twitching in agitation he waited as the soft footfalls sounded up to the door "female then" he thought, deducing her gender through the soft footing and sweet scent coming through the door.
Whatever he was expecting of a landlady was then completely thrown out of the door and crushed under a mountain of surprise.
The woman was young and elegant, slim but not anorexic, slightly on the pale side and had the cutest face he had ever seen.
The woman stilled her flowing purple hair with a flick and smiled sweetly up at him.
"Yes, what is your business with Izumo inn?" she asked, taking in his tall, muscular structure, the man couldn't have looked more than 25 if that.
"Hello, I'm looking for lodgings and found your place, I thought I would come to discuss the terms of a possible room, if you would be willing".
The landlady nodded "I am the landlady of this establishment, we take in anybody in need of a place to stay" the blonde nodded and dipped his head to smile at her, false or not neither could tell.
"Now please come in, and take your shoes off please, I just washed the floor".
Complying he slipped his shoes off and padded down the hall behind Miya who directed him to the dining room upon which he nodded and took a seat on one of the kneel cushions, staring across the low set table at the purplette who smiled gently and kneeled opposite him.
It was Miya who decided to start a conversation to meet a mutual ground "Would you like some tea mr…?" she trailed off, waiting for his answer.
Recognising the probing he nodded at her and set his right palm against the wooden table "my names Uzumaki Naruto, Miya san and yes please, it would be greatly appreciated" giving a small nod Miya stood up and ambled over to the stove where she was boiling a pot of hot water.
Once the water was sufficiently heated she pulled the pot from the heated stove and retrieved two cups and a handful of teabags.
Stepping back over swiftly she placed down the teapot on a mat and a cup on each side, one on hers, one on his, nodding to him she poured some hot water into her cup and slipped the teabag in, waiting for it to turn a very dark brown before she pulled it out and poured in just a smidge of milk, cooling the boiling drink.
"So Uzumaki san, you are interested in a room?" Miya asked quietly as Naruto nodded, his head turned at an angle between the woman in front of him and at the wall as if remembering something.
"Yes, for an unknown amount of time" he stated as she nodded and sighed almost imperceptibly as her fingers drew calming circles on the table.
"My husband was one to never turn away a being in need, I am no different" she gave a gentle smile and tilted her head in his direction.
"And so, I welcome you to Izumo inn"
Meh, a new story idea I thought I'd try, inspired by Kur0Kishi's 'Unwavering sky' fic. As with other stories give me suggestions on what you want, plot turns, possible endings, partnered sekirei, the usual, sorry if the prelude is sort of short but hey I can't help it with 3 assignments being due in on Tuesday.
See ya!
