Minato's raven feathers

"Talking"

'Thought's'

"Attacks"

Inside a food court in a popular shopping mall here in the Western sector of the city. Sitting at a table farther away from the other people grabbing lunch and taking a break from what could only be an entire morning of walking around and shopping.

Sanada Nishi had a troubled and stern frown on his visage. In front of him was his yet to be unwrapped cheeseburger meal. He had brought three of his Sekireis with him to the mall to have lunch. In reality he bought them lunch as he wasn't all that hungry, his thoughts and concerns were focused on other subjects not including his hunger today.

Some fries were missing from his plate telling that he has eaten a couple amidst his pondering. His eyes seemed unfocused and hallow about remembering something. His stare faltered slightly because he didn't want to worry his Sekireis so he hid his troubles behind his usual aloof mask. Even Nishi's matured Sekirei could not tell the difference, or see the growing anxiety taking over his visage.

Two days ago over in London, England. There was a terrorist attack at a party for the conclusion of the Engineering Expo held there. The leader of the terrorist group the "Sacred Phoenix" held the "Demon King" Minato at gunpoint and literally killed the man, or so everyone watching believed to be the case.

After being shot dead at point-blank range Minato returned from the dead and killed the leader of the terrorist group, who was also an old college friend of his and comrade from serving in the military. After seeing this play out on live television no less, Sanada's mind began to bring up his memories on the night of the raid on Mikogami's estate that led to the Ashikabi of the South's death.

Watching Minato coldly execute a former friend without feeling remorse after the deed. Sanada couldn't get the images from that night and the night two days ago out from his mind. The fires burning everything in sight, destroying Mikogami's home, and the emotionless stare of indifference Minato gave him before leaving.

His words continued to echo in his mind always on repeat. No matter what Sanada did to distance himself from that night and forget the sounds and screams he heard. Hearing his voice sent an abnormal chill down his spine, which was the root cause for his anxiety and troubled conscious. The results of him becoming regretful for joining Minato's alliance.

"Mikogami made his choice. I simply honored his request. That is all."

Just listening to the same twelve words he said to him before disappearing stuck to him. Now with what happened in London two nights ago, Sanada was certain of Minato's true motives. This alliance he and Izumi Higa are apart of will soon be terminated and their cease-fire will be abolished. After witnessing how easy he can destroy past friendships without so much as a raised brow.

Sanada understood he had to find a way to defeat Minato. He knew that even with their alliance he will show no mercy to him, or to Higa as well. Minato truly lived up to his nickname, the "Demon King". While this has a high chance of failing, especially when he understands just who he's planning to betray, he couldn't help it. While Minato is away in the United Kingdom, he (Sanada) will have to be ready and prepare his Sekireis for a fight they can't win.

"...Sanada-sama?"

Hearing his youngest Sekirei calling for him. Sanada blinked three times immediately seeing the concerned, worried frowns of his three Sekirei looking at him. Shijime sat beside him on his left side, her small hand was holding tightly to his jacket sleeve.

"Is everything okay, Sanada-sama? It's really not like you to become troubled judging by how hard you were thinking about something. Is their anything we can do to help?" Kuzuri offered bringing an hand in front of her chest. She and Kujika leaned closer to his face with smiles present on their faces.

Smiling sheepishly he turned away from his three girls eying the crowded food court that had grown in size since he and his Sekireis first sat down. Brushing the back of his hair he leaned further back in his seat but kept both legs of his chair on the ground.

"It's nothing important you girls need to worry about. I also should not let this bother me so how about we go take a drive through the city on the bike? Sounds good?"

"Is it about Minato-san?" Kujika said as a random guess but held some suspicion he was the cause of her Ashikabi's somber mood. Sanada sat back down slowly he was standing out of his seat when Kujika guessed correctly on who he had been thinking of since after the night of the raid.

Coming clean was his best option, he never lied to his Sekireis once and he wasn't going to start now because of his own selfish fears. Plus he had already given himself up to them with his subtle reaction sitting back down. Brushing a hand down his black hair he opened his eyes and looked at his three Sekireis. They perked up, sitting up straight at the serious look he was giving them.

"...Yeah. It's just... I thought he was a different person, not what the media and people always called him. I just figured with him having his own Sekireis and this alliance we're apart of I'd never have to worry about a thing, or those rumors being at all true. Now that I've seen first hand the monster he is behind that friendly, fake smile. I know I can't be apart of this."

Standing up again his lunch forgotten and barely touched at all. Sanada took a long swig of his soda before crushing the plastic cup in his hand. Cleaning up after himself and throwing away his lunch, his three Sekirei followed his lead and cleaned up their own messes.

Pushing in their chairs they left the food court and began their walk back to the parking garage where Sanada parked his motorcycle. Walking side-by-side they took an escalator up to the first floor then took a left leading to the outdoor half of the mall. Pushing open the glass doors the four of them walked at a steady pace passing many people on their way to the garages.

Exiting the outdoor half of the mall they waited at an intersection waiting for the light to turn green so they may cross safely. Especially at this mall and at this time of day, the roads are busy with cars and other vehicles passing through this part of the city. Sanada and his three Sekirei had not said a word to each other since leaving the food court. While his Sekirei with him were worried about their Ashikabi and his mental health, they understood not to ask questions when he (Sanada) wasn't ready to reveal anymore of what's bothering him. They knew that much he won't lie to them so the three of them silently agreed to keep their questions to themselves until Sanada was ready to share his troubles with them.

As the light was turning green for them to walk across. Sanada felt his right sleeve being pulled again, but not by Shijima.

"Look over there! Isn't that another Ashikabi and Sekirei standing over there?" Kuzuri pointed to their right spotting the clueless Shigi Haruka and Kuno standing on the other side of the street waiting for their light to turn green. Kuno was seen holding onto Haruka's jacket sleeve with two fingers, a demure expression on her face and Haruka was on his cell phone not paying them any attention.

xox

Back in the UK at the fully restored Jinguji mansion. Meruhi wasn't frighten by the unsuspecting attack on her home, nor was she any different to Minato after seeing him killing his former friend. Keeping to his promise he made to Kuesu, Minato stopped by the mansion for breakfast on the last day of the Expo. None of the staff, butlers and maids treated Minato differently instead asking the man if he was okay.

He put aside their worry for his well-being and asked they don't worry too much for him. They agreed to his wishes to not trouble him and continued treating him like they always have done. Kuesu was the same with addressing Minato as well. Obviously she was worried sick for him after not hearing from him after he left that night, almost immediately pressing her face into his chest and wrapping her arms around his body calling him names and saying she'll never forgive him if he pulled another stunt similar to the one at the party.

Minato acquiesced while rubbing a hand through her gorgeous silver hair. Having a hearty and full English breakfast coupled with a beautifully brewed Earl Gray tea prepared for by Kuesu. Minato complimented the sweetness of the tea unable to guess what it was. Kuesu revealed she added some maple syrup instead of sugar thinking he'll like it. Minato confessed to falling in love with her idea and asked her if she could make him this tea whenever they saw each other.

Kuesu agreed to this request though she didn't say it herself, but tried to play it off in her usual confident and haughty attitude. Minato wasn't convinced, but didn't bring it up and nodded his head at Kuesu. She did spare him a vulnerable side-way glance with an adorable pout when she thought he wasn't looking.

After he cleared away the tension with the Jingujis. Minato moved onwards to the Shirashiki family and Charlotte. He met with the Shirashikis first at their hotel three miles away from where he and his group were staying at. Same with Kuesu he was embraced then ridiculed by both of Mariko's daughters. Then he was interrogated by the sisters asking him what truly happened that night. Mariko did not follow after her daughters and demanded the same from Minato, just an explanation was all she asked for.

So he confessed to them what happened, while spinning his own story to not reveal his powers to them. A story the mother and two daughters bought especially Tatenashi, who he respected for her deep insight to see the hidden truth behind people's words.

When he cleaned the air and their concern for his person he spent an extra hour with the three women to get rid of their anxiety, mostly Kanzashi's. Watching a movie they purchased from the hotel's on-demand feature. He spent a quiet early afternoon with the Sarashiki women and also spoke in length with Mariko about their newly formed alliance between their two companies.

Leaving their hotel he sent a text to Charlotte asking if they could meet and talk. She replied she was free later that night. He agreed and returned back to his hotel and spend the rest of the afternoon and early evening with Yukari and his Sekireis. Of course some his Sekireis were still wary of him but he instantly dismantle their unconscious fear of him by reminding them who he was and promising to spent equal time with each of them to make it up to them.

None within his flock could remember why they were terrified of him after Minato promised them individual time with him.

Madoka dropped by Yukari's and Tsukiumi's room, which had since become the unofficial meeting room for Minato and his Sekirei to meet together. Under better terms now than the previous night Madoka was individually introduced to each of his Sekireis taking a liking to Karasuba, Musubi, and Akitsu especially.

Karasuba was a given without any further discussion why Madoka liked her. Musubi after speaking with Karasuba, Madoka understood why the silver-haired Sekirei enjoyed Musubi's person and formed a fast bond with the bubbly fist-type. Musubi almost gushed with excitement after making a new friend with Madoka too. Akitsu... mostly because out of all of Minato's Sekireis, the snow woman and former "Scrapped Number" didn't make any uncomfortable small talk when striking a conversation with her. Just a brief nod and a few words of greeting and that's it.

The previous tension and cold atmosphere was destroyed returning the room to its warm and welcoming environment, with everyone going back to their usual and expected daily routines. Tsukiumi had picked up her 'dere' personality after becoming comfortable around Minato again. The Water Mistress was a physical wreck at Minato's increased affection towards her. Small kisses to her cheek at every waking moment, compliments about her beauty and other features that made her, well her. Not leaving out Minato holding onto and keeping Tsukiumi on his lap throughout the lunch hour. Neither of the humans, or Sekirei could have guessed Tsukiumi's face to turn that color of red before this.

Yahan was similar to Tsukiumi, though she wasn't doted on like the water mistress was. While she herself received her fair share of attention and love from her Ashikabi. Yahan surprised everyone except for Minato with standing by his side at every opportunity she had. When they were eating lunch she sat next to him on his left side while Tsukiumi was blushing when on his lap and Yukari occupied his other side on the bed. She would occasionally feed him some of her own food, wiping away the small amount of food she caught hanging by his lips whenever she could.

Her new loving and doting personality surprised everyone not expecting her to act in such a manner so openly. Leaving Minato's Sekireis to wonder what he and Yahan had talked about for the Shadow Sekirei's behavior to change drastically overnight.

When it came time for him to meet Charlotte later that evening. She texted him the place she wanted to meet and would wait for him there. After leaving the hotel to see his limousine waiting for him on the curb outside the hotel, a fifteen minute drive through London's evening traffic and Minato arrived at another outdoor shopping mall with a public park across the street.

This public park was full of people, entertainers, and couples enjoying a date night. The park had a outdoor opera-styled stage for public performances and up-coming bands to play for the hundreds of people that visit the park daily. Finally there are three stone statues built around the public park crafted by two graduates from the nearby art school.

Walking through the crowded mall towards a well-known tea shop. He found Charlotte sitting outside the cafe she was looking for him from her constant turning of her head in every direction. Calling her name once she turned to face him and greeted him with a handshake then they both sat down across from each other. Minato ordered for himself a Jasmine Green tea and a slice of cheesecake with strawberry glaze drizzled on the dessert.

Before his order was brought out to him by a cute brunette barista, he and Charlotte had already been discussing what happened the night of the party. Charlotte didn't question him about beimg shot, unlike with the others, who wanted answers to him coming back from the dead. Charlotte instead expressed her gratitude that Minato wasn't seriously injured. He politely and professionally told her he was sorry for worrying her earning a smile from the blond-haired CEO. Charlotte shook her head and told Minato there was nothing to be sorry about. Commenting she was made of tougher stuff and giving a convincing pose in her seat to prove her point.

Later before the two friends and bosses of their respective companies went their separate ways. Charlotte invited Minato to Paris a month from now for a fundraiser she was hosting. He agreed he would come and the two embraced each other in a minute-long hug and then departing. These different interactions and meetings all took place during the third and fourth day of the expo. Back to the present time another party was thrown at the Jinguji mansion for the closing of the 2023 engineering expo.

Minato and Yukari were in attendance he had invited his little sister to accompany him and she couldn't say no to her Onii-sama. The other truth for inviting Yukari was to stop his Sekireis from coming with in order to protect him. He understood they were worried for him and only wanted to protect him. It doesn't help his argument after Nene and Yoruka confessed to them he almost never wants his bodyguards next to him leaving him open for terrorists and assassins to kill him.

Which increased his flock's concern for him leading to arguments and negative responses from them whenever he asked them to stay put. Becoming tired of the back and forth he asked for Yukari to come with him to the Jinguji's party, politely he asked of her. Then once they return home he will draw up a permanent team among his Sekireis to act as his bodyguards, and the list will change every two weeks. Giving everyone equal opportunities to protect him therefore putting all their worries for his safety to bed.

They agreed with a few of his girls pleading with him to take one of them with him and Yukari to the party. He shot this down and asked them to trust his judgment. To make sure none of them attempted to leave in secret he left Madoka in charge of his Sekireis. Promising to reward her for her help later he said his goodbyes to his flock and he and Yukari left for the party.

Letting out a sigh that explained perfectly how mentally tired and drained he felt with his Sekireis. He did not hate them, or found them annoying to be around. But they're honestly running him rampant with their constant worry for him. While yes he was incredibly happy with their love for him, he just couldn't handle one, or two of his Sekireis always by his side every hour and every minute of these last two days.

The brother and sister duo were outside on the balcony of the Jinguji mansion. Minato said he wanted to get some fresh air away from the hundred, or so people inside asking the same questions he has heard enough about already a dozen times. Leaning his arms on the railing he let out another sigh. Minato's outfit had not changed except the tie he wore was red. His eyes were unfocused staring out into the beautifully-lit gardens surrounding the mansion. The signs of how mentally tired he has been recently.

"Hah... Sometimes too much love can suffocate a person. They're loving, faithfully loyal, and respective of my privacy. But those ladies can lay it on too thick sometimes." Yukari stood beside her onii-sama rubbing a hand across his back to comfort him. Her hair was in a short ponytail behind her head. She was wearing a pristine white single-strap dress that hugged her figure and glittered under the stars. Low-heel white slippers on her feet and a sapphire encrusted jewel necklace hanging around her neck to finish the outfit.

She could understand why her onii-sama's Sekireis were so stubborn with wanting to come with them to the party, and the desire to stand at his side after an unexpected accident took place, where they believed he was killed. While she knew nothing can harm, let alone kill her onii-sama. Yukari as his little sister and as a woman cannot help but worry for him regardless of the circumstances. She promised her onii-sama when they were kids that she would always remain by his side and never let go of his hand.

"They love you just as much as I love you. You mean so much to them not because you're their Ashikabi. They love you because you return that love they show you with affection and genuine care for them. They're only worried for your safety because they don't want to lose you, like I can't lose you."

Minato looked out the corners of his eyes back at Yukari standing next to him. Her rubbing of his back had slowed down in speed with her talking to him, but he could still feel her hand rubbing his back in a melodic pace. Standing up straight he turned his body and raised a hand to wipe away Yukari's tears. He wrapped his free arm around his little sister's back and brought her close to his body. Yukari snuggled deeply into his chest taking in his scent. Wrapping her own arms around Minato's waist, Yukari allowed herself to be selfish and hog her onii-sama all for herself. Minato said nothing and allowed his little sister to be stubborn for tonight.

Although on the plane ride back home he'll need to punish her for acting so childish at a party with other guests around. He was positive he said he wanted no one but him to see her behave this way. Yukari in the heat of the moment had forgotten this cardinal rule and will be punished for it.

"I'm sorry. Like the promise I made to you when we were kids. Just as long as you never let go of my hand. You'll never have to worry about anything ever again. I promised I'd never leave you alone without at least taking you with me. So please perk up. A frown doesn't suit your beauty, it only hides it."

Yukari nodded her head into his chest. She gently pushed her body away to wipe away the fresh tears falling down her cheeks. Using an index finger to clean her face of her own tears, when she finished she gave Minato a weak smile he found cute. Everything about Yukari was cute to him.

*BOOM*

A loud bang went off in the sky followed by an array of colors from the firework display Meruhi had prepared to officially close out the expo. While the committee behind the expo had put on a firework display of their own. Meruhi wanted to one-up them better by putting on her own firework display with twice as many fireworks.

The two Oda siblings slowly removed themselves from each other's arms, looking up into the night sky just as the next firework was fired into the air.

*BOOM*

This one was green with orange mixed into it. Seconds later another firework was fired with two more fireworks going after the third one. These fireworks had colors of red, blue, yellow, purple, teal, and magenta.

*BOOM*

The star-filled night sky was covered in a varied of colors by the many fireworks going off together, or in tandem. Minato and Yukari watched the night sky become a light show of various colors. This display of lights reminded the siblings of another event from their past that has holds sentimental in their hearts from how dear it is to them both.

Yukari quietly walked closer to her onii-sama leaning her head to rest on his left shoulder. Minato followed her example leaning his head to rest on top of her head. They stayed in this position through the rest of the firework show. The balcony they were on was strangely empty except for them. Below them on the ground floor, in the gardens and mazes, and inside the lavish hall everyone was watching the firework display. Sounds of 'oohs' and 'awes' were heard with fingers being pointed at the sky.

"You both just can't be away from each other for a more than a minute it seems. You're not twins who absolutely need to be stuck at each others hips all the time. Yet this is how I find you two after looking for you everywhere, Minato."

Kuesu wearing the same black dress and had her hair in the same style as the party two nights ago. She closed the glass doors leading out onto the balcony and locking them with a 'click'. She had on her visage a look of annoyance and jealously directed at the backs of the two Oda siblings. Looking over his right shoulder Minato greeted Kuesu with a knowing smile.

"You're the reason no one else is out on this balcony, Kuesu. Thank you for your help, I really mean it. I just needed to get some fresh air and get away from the constant asking of questions about that night. You have my thanks. Anything I could do to repay you?"

Turning away from her he moved his cheek side to side on top of Yukari's head, his left cheek rubbing against her raven black hair. Yukari failed to suppressed her giggling at his teasing and affectionate rubbing. Of course, secretly Yukari planned for this to make Kuesu jealous. Some revenge for all the times she teased her by kissing her onii-sama whenever she and him were together.

Kuesu said nothing but the loud tapping of her high-heels meeting stone told the brother and sister that she was walking over to the railing where they were standing. Now standing beside the siblings they saw she was glaring at them with little heat behind her gaze, and a cute pout frozen on her lips. She had her arms crossed over her ample chest.

"Sorry for deceiving you Kuesu-san. Onii-sama really needed some time away from the party to be alone. We both wish to apologizes for not telling you."

"Then how come Mina-chan didn't ask me to comfort him!?" Kuesu shouted abruptly surprising the siblings. Breaking her facade and calling Minato by his affectionate pet name she gave him. Minato was especially caught off-guard as he remembered Kuesu always called him by that name until a year ago when she stopped. Referring to him as she does now with "kun" at the end of his name.

Believing she had said this out of reflex and didn't mean to call him this Minato was prepared to say something, however stopping at the index finger pointing back at him. The finger belonged to none other than Kuesu.

"A date. I'm going to Japan in two weeks to visit my other relatives in the Jinguji clan for summer break. While I'm there I want you to take me on a date! Just us and no one else. This is for making worry about you and for making me embarrass myself for calling you Mina-chan so suddenly. Got it?"

Her eyes were set into a glare fixated on him. Without any heat her glare was simply a poor attempt to hide her flustered facial expression. Her ruby red lips were stuck in a thin line also a cover to save herself from her previous blunder. Staring lazily at the finger stuck between his eyes barely grazing the skin at the top of his nose. Minato traced the gloved finger back up Kuesu's slender arm stopping on her beautiful, almost regal face with a mild blush on her cheeks. Both from her embarrassing herself and because he was staring at her.

Making a smile on his lips, his eyes softening behind his hood. He pushed away her finger from his face and tapped Kuesu on her forehead with his index and middle fingers together. Kuesu drew back bringing up both of her hands to the spot where he tapped her forehead. Yukari started to giggle seeing Kuesu's cute reaction. Tightening her hold around his left arm she used her free hand to suppress her laughter. Failing in doing so mostly to poke fun at Kuesu for her own enjoyment.

Sparing a side-way glance back to Yukari. Turning his head back around to face Kuesu to see her staring back at him, she had not removed her hands from her forehead. Minato opened his lips and started to speak.

"Okay. Consider it done. Let me know when you're free from spending time with your family. I'll send a limousine over to pick you up. You can even pick out how we spend the day for our date. My treat."

Minato finished with a friendly smile showing he was serious about taking Kuesu on a date. Believing she would have asked for something right this moment such as a kiss on the lips, or permission to go home with them as they were leaving tomorrow morning. But a date on her next visit to Japan... he can agree to this. No harm seeing how he and Kuesu have much in common together.

Crossing her arms over her chest. Kuesu smirked showing off her haughty and confident better-than-you personality again.

"Hmph. Obviously I would be choosing how we spend our date together. I suppose I could forgive you now for making me embarrass myself earlier." She finished there it sounded like she wanted to say more but kept it to herself. Minato didn't push forward with the discussion and left it alone.

Turning his body to face forward to watch the firework display once more. He didn't response to Kuesu coming close and wrapping herself around his free right arm trapping that arm between her lovely cleavage. Closing his eyes and releasing a chuckle he remained totally oblivious to the lighting clashing between Yukari and Kuesu staring heatedly at each other. Both adolescent females crouched their heads low so Minato didn't see them.

He was their prize after all. Both females had their own selfish reasons to want to stay at his side and watch the rest of the firework show.

*Boom*

More fireworks continued to go off in tandem just as the show was reaching its conclusion. An array of colorful lights lit up the night sky surrounded by millions of stars. This year's expo coming to it's official end. Tomorrow morning Minato and everyone will be leaving to go home. The Sekirei Plan was to begin the second stage a day after they return home. Minaka made sure of this to have every Ashikabi inside the capital before they seal the city off from the world.

xox

On a separate runway at Heathrow Airport, Skyla and her crew were finishing with loading and storing everyone's luggage from Minato's party. The time was currently nine in the morning with a seventeen hour flight ahead of them.

Checking out of their hotel after a large breakfast buffet had been eaten by his Sekireis. Minato had a limousine from his second tower pick them up and take them to the airport where Skyla was waiting for them to arrive. As everyone got their luggages of whatever they brought with them and what they were taking home with them to Japan. Handing them off to Skyla and her crew, his flock got into the plane and found their seats for the long flight ahead.

Minato and Yukari had yet to enter the plane because of the unexpected party that arrived to see him and his little sister off. The Jinguji, Sarashiki, and Charlotte arrived ten minutes after them. Kuesu, Tatenashi, Kanzashi each gave their own goodbyes in their own ways confessing how much they were going to miss him. The former two even tried to get a goodbye kiss from Minato but were stopped by Kanzashi and Yukari. His little sister displaying a secret jealous side to her that only worsen her already strong brother complex.

Charlotte and the two mothers were thankfully more restrictive and professional about giving their goodbyes. The friendly and lovely blond had given him a bear hug saying her farewells into his shoulder. Minato returned the warm embrace and striking a promise with Charlotte to visit Japan whenever she was able. She agreed and would see him again at the fundraiser.

When it came to the influential ladies and strong mothers to say their goodbyes. Meruhi and Mariko stuck to a friendly kiss to either of his cheeks. (Meruhi right and Mariko left) Having made their alliance official the day before the last day of the expo. Minato began to tell the mothers starting with Mariko first, he had some ideas his company and her company could get start right away with their new alliance together. He told the two women that he would be calling them in a week after he returns home to Japan to discuss further about what to expect with their new union.

They nodded their heads and Meruhi off-handedly mentioned how she would email him some ideas she wanted his opinion on and see if he could support them financially. Minato let out a chuckle with sardonic, but amusing, "we shall see...".

Waving goodbye on the ramp and again through the windows. Skyla's plane had taken off into the sunny England skies. Their destination arrival time was around seventeen hours so to pass the time everyone inside busied themselves with their own entertainment and distractions.

Minato sitting on the other side of the aisle in the same row where he was sitting when coming to Great Britain. Next to him is Musubi sitting perfectly with her back straight beside him and facing forward, looking at the back of Shiina's messy mop of silver hair. Arms folded on top of each other on her lap. Her posture reminded Minato of a Yamato Nadeshiko.

Yukari, with a childlike pout and a eyes full of desire staring wanting at Minato. Keeping to his word Minato was punishing Yukari for her small slip up and was to stay where she was sitting for the first three hours of their flight. He had decided on five last night but lowered it to three showing her mercy. Sitting beside her to her left was the giggling form of Kazehana. She ran a hand soothingly down her Ashikabi's little sister's back. Taking pity on her for her punishment away from her older brother and having to endure watching the others approach Minato and she couldn't it.

"Ara~ Minato-kun. You don't even spare your own little sister of your cruelty. You truly are a "Demon King". Ufufufu~.

Around the cabin everyone else was keeping to themselves, or striking up a chat with the Sekirei sitting beside them. It was going to be a long flight home as some believed it was best to have a good relationship with their unofficial bunkmate for the remainder of this flight.

Kusano was leaning on Shiina's right shoulder having moved the armrest up to combine their seats together. Giving them the room to cuddle like they were doing now. Shiina had worked up the courage before leaving the hotel to ask Kusano to play Plants vs Zombies with her on the plane. The bubbly and mature Kusano agreed with her and Shiina taking the very first seats at the front of the plane after getting onboard.

They were sharing a single tablet with both of them holding one side of the device between them. Their index fingers were scrolling across the plastic surface to build their defenses for the on-coming waves of zombies trying to reach the house they were suppose to defend.

"I will grow the sunflowers and other support plants in the back. Shiina, I want you to handle growing the plants to protect us. With this many sunflowers we don't need to worry about ever running out of sunlight. So feel free to use the double peashooter as that one costs the most."

"Let's first grow the single-fire peashooter and the ice element peashooter with two choppers to start. At the beginning the zombies always go in random directions one at a time. If we use the lawnmowers this early we will be in trouble when more start attacking. Let's build a temporary defense with this... and these over here."

Minato smiled behind the best friends. He didn't mean to listen-in on their talks of strategy but he couldn't hide the smile from taking his lips at their close friendship and trust.

Behind him and Musubi were again the Lighting twins sitting together behind a tablet. Hibiki had said she and Hikari will be binge watching several shows they found. Hikari had told him not to call for them except for when it's lunch and dinner time. Minato agreed to the twins terms, vaguely mentioning they could ask for snacks from the stewardess, such as popcorn to enjoy while they watched.

In the back of their lane sitting on the window seat same as Minato was. A hand holding up her chin, her body leaning to look out the window watching the clouds with a dejected smile on her lovely features. Long tresses of wavy blond hair framing her cheeks. After losing a game of rock, paper, scissors to Musubi to sit next to Minato. Tsukiumi went to the back of the plane where she could wallow in her defeat, and also ridicule and berate herself for losing to Musubi at something simple like rock, paper, scissors.

An aura of defeat and self pity hovered around Tsukiumi, with everyone else ignoring her and leaving her to suffer mentally for her loss.

Across the aisle, one row above the row Tsukiumi was sitting at sat Akitsu and Madoka together. While some would call it a strange pairing to be seen sitting together. But as Minato and the others learned yesterday is that Madoka liked Akitsu for her silence and she doesn't ask stupid questions according to her. Akitsu can sit in one place for an entire day and no one will have noticed her being in the room. This silence and lack of sense is what Madoka liked from Akitsu, and because Karasuba and Yume were sitting together and Musubi was next to Minato. Madoka's only remaining choice was Akitsu.

The snow woman didn't seem to care of how Madoka saw her. Rather she wasn't paying her any attention either, her doll-like visage was busy looking at the side of Minato's head. Bringing her feet off the floor and bringing her knees close to her stomach. Curling herself into a ball Madoka pulled out her cell phone and opened her web browser to distract herself. She frowned but hid her face from Minato, pulling up the collar of her jacket to hide the lower half of her face. She was stuck in a airplane for nearly an entire day with the only people she was comfortable being around were Minato and Yukari. Stuck sitting beside other people with their backs to her.

Her phone started to vibrate in her hands. Looking down at the screen she saw one unread message from Minato. Raising her head to where he was sitting. His head was leaning against the window supposedly asleep, but he had just sent her message? Choosing to see what he wanted to ask her Madoka opened up her messages reading Minato's message in her head.

"You feeling okay?"

Three sentences asking her of her health was what he wrote to her. Madoka was tempted to lie in her reply, but decided to be up-front with him. He could always tell whenever she was lying and whenever she was bothered by something.

"Not really. I get along with some of these women just fine, but the more obnoxious ones try to befriend me because you and I have history together. It's difficult for me to meet new people no matter the setting I'm in." She sent her text then receiving a reply in under a minute.

"I know how uncomfortable I'm making you with asking you to try and make friends with them. You've impressed me with Karasuba, Musubi, and Akitsu. I was betting on just one but you surprised me with another two. Now I know I can't underestimate you at all."

Madoka had a flustered expression on her cold visage. Her lips were stuck in a frown as her fingers went across her keyboard on her phone.

"Your sarcasm hasn't changed. Am I suppose to be flattered by your weak attempts of a compliment?"

"Heh heh heh, I'm sorry. If you want we're switching seats in two hours. You can take Musubi's seat and you can tell me everything that's new and what's changed since we parted ways. I understand we had not much time together than I would have liked."

Madoka loss her frown and blush all together. Now her face adored a teasing and aggravating smirk when she started to type out her next message.

"Hoh... I thought your 'darling' little sister was going to sit next to you at lunch? She looks like a wreck sitting beside the barely clothe big titted one of your harem. I forgot her name because I did not bothered to remember it."

Sending her message she didn't receive an instant reply like the previous two. Thinking he was done texting her, Madoka was about to turn off her cell phone when it started vibrating again. Looking down at the message with her smirk, she was looking forward to see how Minato will try to ignore this repeated question pushed on the two siblings.

However, she didn't expect what he had written down. Losing her astute smirk her mouth opened slightly with an atomic blush returning on her face. His message said...

"She will be okay. She can go a full day without me but she will usually ask for something afterwards. Instead how about you come over and sit on my lap. I remember it was always your favorite spot to sit on when you were smaller. I would brush your hair with a brush you had on hand, you'd always demand I'd sing you a lullaby, and lastly you would affectionately call me Onii-chan. How about it?"

Here Minato switched his phone into low power mode. He wouldn't be receiving anymore messages, especially if Madoka follows after Chifuyu then he knew what came next. Feinting slumber he intelligently ignored Madoka glaring holes into his skull from where she was sitting.

His remaining Sekireis weren't doing anything worth viewing. Former comrades once having served in the Second Generation Discipline Squad. Yume and Karasuba were sitting together using the two armrest between them in the middle as a makeshift table for the chess board they were playing on. An unheard concept given Karasuba's forward approach to a battle. But Yume challenged her to a game saying something along the lines of... "strategy is equally important next to strength on the battlefield.". Their colors went together with their respective titles and powers. At this moment Yume had a slight lead with having taken four of Karasuba's pieces, with her taking only two of Yume's pieces.

Finally Yahan decided to sit by herself on the plane. Sitting in the other lane along with Tsukiumi. The Shadow Sekirei chose to leave the water mistress to her own devices and occupied the other empty seats across the aisle. Lazily she twirled her dagger in her right hand, and was resting her chin on top of her left hand formed into a fist. Her eyes held boredom in them with signs of sleepiness.

This was the arrangement for the next two hours when lunch was scheduled to be served and everyone can safely move around the cabin. In seventeen hours they will be home in Japan. Inside the capital where Minaka plans to seal them off from the rest of the world until the conclusion of his "game".

Sadly for him, however. His overdue time in the world is at it's end. With the start of the second phase the ending of the Sekirei Plan begins.

"Hmm... Are you tired, Minato-sama? If you want you may use my lap for a pillow?"

Turning away from his window he noticed they were now over the Atlantic Ocean. Facing the beautiful face of Musubi giving him a warm smile. Minato shook his head denying her thoughtful offer to use her lap as a comfy pillow to sleep on. Musubi pouted briefly but then nodded her head in understanding.

"Maybe a little later. I'm not that tired even after waking up at six this morning. You should get some rest yourself, Musubi."

"I'll be okay. Let me know if you change your mind about sleeping on my lap?" Giving her a warm smile of his own volition. He ruffled her head giving his thanks. Musubi closed her eyes in delight almost purring to go along with his ministrations.

"I'll remember that. Thank you, Musubi." He turned around to look out the window again. No more talking was said after his and Musubi's small chatter.

xox

Docking outside the hanger for the private jet she was flying, Skyla brought the plane to a full stop seeing the workers and staff on trolley carts coming towards the parked plane. Turning on the all-clear lights letting everyone in the cabin know they were free to stand and walk around.

Giving a tired sigh with a stretch of her limbs and body awakening her joints and muscles. The current time was 2:08AM and she had been sitting down for a majority of the flight only standing up to eat something with her boss Minato and the others, also to use the restroom twice over the course of their seventeen hour flight. Letting out a yawn in accordance to her own fatigue and sleepiness of staying up this late. The energy shot she took earlier tonight was beginning to wear off. After she checks out with Minato and receives her pay she can go home and rest.

Unlocking the hatches to the bulletproof and blast proof steel door there to protect the pilots and the plane from being hijacked. Opening the door outward Skyla watched everyone disembark from the plane. Everyone except Minato, Madoka, and Tsukiumi were sluggishly walking down the aisle. Members of the crew, the stewardess, and Minato's own bodyguards assisted his flock safely down the ramp and into the black SUVs there to take them home.

The temperature had dropped to almost forty degrees going along with that assumption when it's hot during the day, it's freezing at night. Or some kind of superstition like that. Being the last one down to disembark from his plane, Minato reached into his coat pulling out an sealed envelope and giving it to Skyla. The red-haired pilot taking her check with both hands and a gleeful smile on her lips.

"I added an extra two thousand for clearing your schedule for us and staying in the city for those four days. Don't spent it all in one place." Minato took a step forward and hugged Skyla close to his chest. She wrapped her own arms around his body fully returning the embrace with her boss and friend. Breaking the embrace he turned his body to walk out of the plane. "I'll call on you again when I need a favor. Good night Skyla."

"Good night Oda Minato-sama." She said to his back as Minato was walking down the ramp. His feet touching the ground of Japan. He moved to one side allowing two airport staff members to enter the plane. Walking over to his company's black SUVs, he saw Madoka was standing off to the side away from his bodyguards and two drivers waiting for him.

Taking some steps to stand next to her. He caught her gaze staring at the lone black limousine behind the SUVs, a little distances away. Saying nothing to her he wrapped her body in a one arm embrace. This caused Madoka to snap out of her disillusion and looked up at his face. Minato being leagues taller than her.

"I know you're having doubts about seeing your only family again after so many years. Until you're ready to face them you'll be staying at my villia outside the city. You're free to come and go as you please but you have to at least inform me when your leaving the country. I lost you once and I'm not letting you go this time."

His fingers tightly squeezed Madoka's biceps. His silent promise to keep her in his life after a long absence for them both. Madoka could see his unbending will and firece protection of her to keep his word both in his eyes and by his emotionless visage. Whenever he gets like this, everytime Madoka has seen this exact look on Minato's face she knew he meant what he said and nothing will stop him.

This would be her fifth time seeing this part of him. The last four times he did not disappoint her and easily won over her trust, respect, and secretly her love.

Switching her position to fully embrace Minato and burying her face into his chest. Pulling herself away she looked up at his face, her expression showed how weak she truly is. The side of her she hides because she is scared. The side that is the real Orimura Madoka. A fourteen year old girl terrified of seeing her only family members remaining when she was pronounced dead at seven, and from seeing things a seven year old should never see and witness.

Tightening his hold around her small body, Minato kissed the top of her head bringing one of his hands up to the back of her head and brush her messy black hair in gentle strokes. This worked to calm Madoka down enough to restore parts of her broken mask. Kissing the top of her head a second time he left his hand to rest on her right shoulder. She looked up at him looking deeply into his steel-gray orbs that held confidence, power, and a stern devotion to protect the people he holds close. People like her.

"I come by to visit tomorrow. Can I expect you to wait for me?"

Madoka simply nodded her head twice saying nothing else. Giving a gentle squeeze to the shoulder his hand was resting on he slowly let go and removed his hand from Madoka's shoulder. She continued to stay quiet picking up her suitcase filled with the items she had on her. Turning around and beginning her walk to the limousine behind the SUVs. A man in his mid-thirties came up to Minato. His facial expression was empty and his lips frozen in a frown lacking any real emotion. He had black hair cut into a military-cut and a cleanly shaven face from how often he shaves his facial hair.

"Take good care of her. Let Aiya-san know of her arrival and that she's to be waited on hand and foot. I'll have Anabel drop-by every week to check on her."

The man gave a wordless salute to Minato then walked away back to the limousine Madoka had climbed into. The headlights turned on seconds later with the engine releasing a definitive roar in tandem with the other planes taking off and flying overhead. Making a U-turn the limousine drove away leaving the airport's runway. Minato watched it disappear until the back license's plate was no longer visible in the dark.

Turning his body around he walked back to the SUVs yelling out to his men they were leaving. Climbing into the back of the second SUV, his men getting into the driver and passenger sides of both SUVs afterwards then starting the engine and following behind the first black SUV en-route back to Raven Tower.

Getting off the runaway and merging in with regular traffic ten minutes later. Minato knew it would be an hour when they reach the steps of his tower regardless of the minimal traffic at this hour of the night. Looking beside him at Akitsu sleeping next to him. She and Yahan were seated with him in the second row, while Shiina, Kusano, and Yukari occupied the third row in the back. Meaning Kazehana, Karasuba, Yume, Tsukiumi, Hikari, Hibiki, and Musubi were in the first SUV driving ahead of him.

Playing with Akitsu's light-brown cinnamon locks in one hand to past the time. Minato pulled out his celluar phone in his free hand deciding to play a mobile game to alleviate his bordem. He continued playing with the sleeping Akitsu's hair not letting up, while he played his game in slience. The two men in suits up front remained ignorant and kept their heads forward watching the road.

xox

Unlocking the door to his penthouse with a keycard. Minato opened the door pulling it outward then stepping inside and dropping off his suitcase laying it against the wall. Yukari entered next in a slumber-like and half awake state, her eyes were half-lidded blinking every so often to watch were she was walking. She raised her free hand not holding her own luggage to cover her yawn. Behind Minato's sleepy little sister taking up the rear were the rest of his Sekireis.

Same with Yukari, a couple within his flock were on the bridge between staying awake and falling asleep there on the floor. Others had woken up back in the parking garage and were sober enough to walk on their two feet with little trouble. When the first group walked through the front door into the penthouse they immediately found an empty piece of furniture to sleep on and closed their eyes, not hearing Minato when he urged them to get up and go to their rooms.

"Bunch of light-weights these girls are. Mu-chan can be particular stubborn whenever she doesn't get enough sleep. Just leave them here for the night, you could punish them for disobeying you in a couple hours."

Came from Karasuba putting her suitcase in one hand down and her nodachi on top of it. Her smile hid the bags under her eyes but not the clear amusement she felt after suggesting her offer to him. Minato smirked and thought about Karasuba's offer. His brain coming up with six different punishments already in under twenty seconds. But he decided to show leniency, leaving the tired birds where they were.

Akitsu was the last one to enter the penthouse suite and quickly taking her spot standing slightly behind Minato. Yahan walked past her and the two Oda siblings going to the kitchen and opening up the refrigerator looking inside for something drink. Yume taking after Yukari walked over to stand next to Minato same as Akitsu. She grasped his coat sleeve in hand and laid her head on his shoulder. Soft murmurs and yawns coming out of her mouth trying to stay awake.

"Leave them be it was a long trip coming back. I'm quite surprised they even got up to the penthouse. Come on, I'm on my last legs and I really want to sleep in my own bed."

"That sounds... nice..." Yume groaned out falling asleep and hanging off of Minato's arm. Her compassionate and loving Ashikabi moved his arm around her waist holding her up. Minato gave one of his true smiles seeing her slightly opened lips formed into a small smile in her sleep. He kissed the top of her head and tighten his hold around her waist simultaneously.

"Leave your stuff where it is. Jarvis, or Yomi will get them and bring them to your rooms. Akitsu would you mind carrying Yukari to her room?"

"...Hmm... don't... onii-sama... stay... with... me..."

"Ah... yes, Minato-sama." Akitsu slowly picked up the tired form of Yukari in a bridal carry, who continued to weakly protest she wanted to sleep next to her onii-sama, Minato ruffled his little sister's own raven lock and instructed Akitsu to follow him.

They started to walk as Minato walked ahead of the pack going first. Just as he took his first two steps they overheard a door slamming and a multitude of feet running down the hallway to the living area. The early door slam had effectively roused everyone from their sleep. Minato's Sekireis rubbed the sleep out of their eyes and stretched their arms above their heads as Chifuyu, Tabane, Ichika, and Houki came into view around the corner.

Chifuyu and Tabane's eyes locked onto Minato's form. In their brief hesitation he created a clone to hold Yume, taking her away just in time with his two childhood friends coming close and embracing him tightly. Minato reciprocated wrapping his arms around their respective waists and taking in the scents of their hair. For five minutes the three childhood friends of twenty so years stayed in each others embrace and hold. Not a word was said between them, or the audience of human and Sekirei watching the touching scene.

When the two female friends of Minato finally relinquished their hold of their only male friend. What came next was entirely predictable and expected by Minato. Two slaps to each cheek, one from Chifuyu and one from Tabane. The black-haired beauty's eyes looked back at him with rage, weakness, hurt, and abandonment. Among other fleeting emotions he could see behind her devastated amber eyes glaring hatefully back at him. Tabane's purple gems for eyes were different from Chifuyu, while she too was looking at him in anger. Tabane's emotions were more sullen than rage towards her oldest and only male friend.

Minato said nothing to the stinging sensation of his cheeks being slapped by the two. He kept his passive and non-hostile stare on Chifuyu and Tabane's faces allowing the two woman the time to cool down and explain their hostility towards him. However, he knew exactly why they were upset with him.

Looking behind their heads he caught Houki not meeting his eyes holding her right arm with her left arm in hesitation and disbelief. Ichika was looking at the soles of the fuzzy slippers he was wearing on his feet with regret and self-remorse. The little brother of Chifuyu was gritting his teeth wanting to say something, but it was caught in his throat and he couldn't find the courage to scream it loud for everyone, especially Chifuyu to hear.

Yukari, now wide-awake widened her eyes after witnessing her onii-sama's childhood friends slapping his face. She could see the resentment and betrayal on their faces, both from their rage and from raising a hand against Minato. Yukari understood their anger and feelings of betrayal and hurt, Minato had told her everything when they found the Spectre armor in his office. Asking Akitsu to put her down the snow woman put Yukari down to stand on her own two feet. Looking around the living room at their younger siblings, then to her onii-sama's Seikireis. Yukari gave out a quick order to not to intervene.

Whether the Sekireis heeded her command remains to be seen. For the moment they heard her and stayed where they were standing in the room. Waiting on one of the three adults to break the ice and explain the situation, which now rumbles the once quiet and peaceful night.

Tabane broke first running up to Minato and standing next to him. She didn't speak and started with removing Minato's black hooded trenchcoat, when it was removed leaving his face visible. Tabane continued stripping Minato of his jacket and the tie around his neck. Now in his white dress shirt she left this article of clothing on but pushed the right sleeve up revealing more skin. The dress shirt sleeve stopped at Minato's bicep leaving his whole forearm and elbow below his bicep visible. Going over to his left arm where his Data Paired Glove was mounted on his coat's sleeve. Tabane bypassed the password-protected device getting a groan of annoyance from Minato from her knowing his password. Finding what she was looking for she typed several numbers into the device disabling the cloak around his right arm.

A shutter followed with a burst of electricity around Minato's right arm and the cloaking device was disabled. There like a stain on the wall impossible to ignore staring everyone in the face after Tabane disabled the cloak surrounding Minato's right arm revealed a silver in color with black accents cybernetic arm replacing Minato's once flesh and blood. Sharp gasps and shouts of terror resonated in the penthouse. Yomi after hearing the commotion joined everyone in the living room of the penthouse. Standing beside a very shocked Yahan still in the kitchen, Yomi too let out her own voice of surprise seeing the cybernetic arm that belongs to her Ashikabi.

No one was more surprised than Tabane herself. She looked absolutely horrified having her fears from three nights ago become confirmed with seeing Minato's secret robotic limb taking over for his right arm previously flesh and blood she knew he possessed up until two years ago after Spectre's break-in of her laboratory.

Getting her voice back after witnessing the disturbing reveal of her childhood friend's new and permanent right arm. Chifuyu shook her head waving her small ponytail behind her with her head movement.

"H-How did you get that injury?! Did you lose that arm in the war. Did it happened in China? Or did you lose your arm during your rampage as Spectre-?"

Tabane tightly embraced Minato stopping Chifuyu from continuing her interrogation. She strongly wrapped both her arms tightly around his neck almost crushing it with her immense strength from tampering with her own body. Tabane buried her face into Minato's chest, where she started screaming and begging for his forgiveness. No one could hear her at first what she was screaming into Minato's chest. When she pushed herself out from his clothes. Her faces wet with tears, her eyes and cheeks red in color looked up at Minato's stoic and stoned-faced expression meeting hers. She yelled out for everyone to hear.

"I'm so sorry, Minato! I'm so terribly sorry I took away your arm! Please, please, please forgive me for hurting and scarring you like this. I-I-I didn't kn-know- I didn't know you were behind that mask!"

Tabane let her heart and her feelings come out pleading with Minato to forgive her. Chifuyu, Houki, Ichika, and everyone else was astonished and troubled hearing Tabane is the one responsible for Minato's arm. Tabane's crying was silenced forever when Minato surprised her by wrapping his arms around her waist bringing her face back into his chest.

Using the cybernetic arm to calmly and lovely stroke her lusciously long purple hair behind her head. Tabane's mechanical rabbit ears started to move on top of her head in response to her feelings of happiness being held in such an endearing way by her childhood friend and lover.

Peeking out of his chest she looked deeply into Minato's warm, kind, and supportive eyes staring back at her buried in his chest. She remembered whenever she was feeling down for whatever reason. Whether it had to deal with school, her inventions, and life in general. Minato always will give this friendly smile and eyes full of encouragement to bring her out of the funk she puts herself in.

Seeing this same smile she always received when they were kids. Tabane ceased crying and was working to swallow the lump in her throat and control her breathing. Minato helped by wiping away the wet tears surrounding her eyes. His friendly smile visible for Tabane and everyone to witness. His Sekireis each let out a collected gasp seeing the radiated smile on his face. It was magnificent sight for them to behold they each thought.

Holding Tabane close by her waist, her breasts pressing against his chest but he ignored the soft feeling they provided to look Tabane in her emotional, yet still gorgeous purple eyes.

"There is nothing to forgive, my cute rabbit girl. We both could have avoided that night all together if I had asked for your notes on proportional engine cooling instead of stealing it and having you believe you intentionally brought harm to me. I'm very sorry I forced you to carry this resentment for so long. It's not your fault my arm is gone. I did this to myself."

Hearing the final sentence from his lips, Tabane gently pushed herself away from Minato's hold keeping him at arm's length. Everyone else was confused on the matter to hearing Tabane was the cause for his missing arm, now to Minato's confession that he did the deed himself.

"You had no involvement in my missing arm, Tabane-chan. This was the cause of a boring Sunday afternoon. We were testing out a new weapon model outfitted with uranium rounds. Because of these uranium rounds the weapon couldn't be properly used without an augmented arm to use it. I had my doctors prepared for surgery and they got to work after I personally removed my very own right arm from my shoulder."

"Wait- You removed your own right arm yourself, while you were still conscious?" Chifuyu demanded. This being the first time she has spoken in a while.

"Like I said already it was a boring Sunday afternoon. I sat down on a operating table took a buzzsaw from a nearby stand and I got to work. I was too focused with the removal of my arm I didn't feel any pain when it was happening. Same for when I finished sawing and was put under so they could attach my new arm."

Flexing his five fingers on his cybernetic arm. No one could understand the idea of someone willingly removing their own limbs and not feeling so much as a tear going down their eye as it's happening. Tabane gently pushed herself away from Minato looking slightly uncomfortable at the recent revelation but satisfied she wasn't the cause of his injury.

Chifuyu gritted her teeth of their interrogation of Minato hitting a rut because Tabane has an actual human heart beating in her chest whenever it concerns Minato. Calling Minato's name he turned his head to look at her. His attention prior was to Tabane playing with the white apron on her dress.

"Forgetting about Tabane's feelings for a minute, how and why are you Spectre?" Chifuyu could not contain her patience after waiting four days for Minato to return home and answer her questions on why he's the infamous and notorious Spectre. She couldn't contain her emotions anymore her facial expression looked vulnerable and close to igniting. She was gritting her teeth to stop herself from losing herself, but it was a difficult task with the time they have used up already with Tabane's regret.

Minato smirked, his gaze became cold and unforgiving but wasn't directed at Chifuyu.

"Why you ask? Then answer me this Chifuyu. Why does a bird take flight? Why does a caterpillar strive to evolve to a butterfly? What about wolf hunting and killing a helpless and terrified baby fawn in the wild?"

"Take this seriously, Minato." Chifuyu warned not taking kindly to Minato talking in riddles at a critical time.

"I am Chifuyu. I'm taking this as serious like how I live my life. Those three questions I asked held the answer you desire. Your emotions are clouding your sight that you can't see it's staring you right in the face." At Chifuyu's growl of her slipping hold of her rage and fists clenching. Minato chose to quit playing around with her. "The similarities these three creatures have is their nature. Birds must take flight when migrating to warmer places. Caterpillars wish to fly for their own selfish reasons and so to continue they line from being extinct. And wolves have existed for hundreds of years doing the same thing over and over again. Never questioning why they do this, never asking themselves what will happen if they stop one day and never hunt a day in their lives again. They do all that because it works. Humans are similar because our nature is to kill."

He stopped there to gauge his audience's current expressions and to see how Chifuyu was holding up. Finding her non-hostile but a heated glare staring back at him he pressed on.

"As humans it's in our very nature to stand above everyone else, and yes this includes death. The very reason I became Spectre was to sedate my boredom after the war ended, also to clean up the garbage that began to pile up after the war. There are two sides to every argument this one especially depending on who you ask. First you will have the side that think my actions are considered inhumane and a crime against humanity. While the other side of the line firmly believe I'm an anti-hero and a dark knight killing the bad people around the world, and going against the law to complete these tasks. Ultimately it's on the average person hearing these stories and tales and them deciding which side is true. Do you believe Spectre to be a heartless killer who spares no one, or a vigilante fighting to end the tyranny in the world? That last one is a personal favorite of mine as I would like to call my actions as heroic.

"So you honestly expect us to believe you killed and murdered people because you believed your sense of justice demanded such acts? What about your earlier mention about boredom. For entertainment you killed and destroyed lives for a good laugh?!"

Minato didn't hide from Chifuyu's glare and truthful accusations. He held his smirk on his lips and began again after Chifuyu finished waiting for his answer.

"I will admit that I'm not a sane person in the head. I do enjoy watching the light leave my enemies eyes and taking everything they love. Some may call me a serial killer for feeling such pleasures but I don't like to call myself one. I was given the name "Demon King" and I won't hide what I truly am. You can look at me with disgust and regret in your eyes. I won't deny you, nor attempt to hide behind my facade any longer to spare you, Tabane, Houki-chan, and Ichika-kun the horrors I've committed. I won't lie that I felt this way even during my childhood before my death. After my resurrection I became more lenient with displaying my honest thoughts and voicing my true feelings for this world. Perhaps my death allowed me to be myself without hiding behind barriers, or behind a mask I wanted people to see was the 'real' Minato. Not the man standing before you tonight."

Minato paused to take a heavy and exhausted sigh. Yukari and his friends had heard this particular sigh in several instants in their past. Each of them believed Minato was only tired from doing homework, a lack of sleep, and playing in several sports in high school. None of them could have known this was the extent of his paranoia.

His Sekireis felt the same and were astonished hearing everything Minato had said. They were unable to understand the depths of his psychology. They could hear it in his voice and the look in his eyes, a man who's sanity and consciousness have been missing for some time before any of them had met him. The mention of his death he off-handily said to Haruka when he and his Sekirei Kuno came to him seeking his aid was mentioned again. They believed his death was his breaking point that led to Minato being what he is now.

He started again opening his eyes to Chifuyu. She let out a sharp gasp at his determinate and sardonic gaze staring back into her amber orbs.

"I very well may be a monster, Chifuyu. I don't regret none my actions, not the blood I've spilled, nor the lives I destroyed without reason. I mourned Kojūrō's death that is true but I didn't feel remorseful the following morning. I didn't feel remorse when killing him, and I certainly don't feel regret after killing him." Minato finished.

Finding her voice again Chifuyu continued her interrogation going back to their original topic.

"I'm beginning to understand how you think Minato. It infuriated me to not be able to read your thoughts and tell what you were feeling at certain times. Regardless of your faults and questionable choices in the past know that I'm no saint myself, and neither is Tabane. But were getting off topic here again. Why did you chose to hide you were Spectre? Because this is how we would see you for the rest of our lives?" He shakes his head in negative staring back into Chifuyu's amber eyes.

"I was always going to tell you four about this. I was looking for the right time and place to come clean about my past. I know you four will not care for the things I've done. When I remembered the happy memories we made before my death when I was eight. I honestly didn't want to destroy our relationship, but also didn't want to keep hiding I was Spectre from you guys."

"What about Yukari? You tell her everything and she still accepts you and sees you as her nii-san. How come you can't show this level of trust with Orimura-san, nee-chan, Ichika, and me...? Remember your confession to us on "Heaven's Resort". You said you love Orimura-san, nee-chan, and myself and want there to be something between us. If you really want us in your life then start by trusting us more with your darkest secrets. Yukari accepts you so can all of us if you give us a chance."

Houki finished up not expecting for all of this to come out of her own mouth, and her interrupting Chifuyu in the middle of her speech. She looked away again not able to bring herself to look Minato in his eyes.

Walking slightly forward garnering Minato, Tabane, and Chifuyu's attention to her. Kazehana gently raised her hand to rest on his cheek. She rubbed her hand against his skin enjoying his warmth and closeness the intimate gesture provided for her standing in front of her Ashikabi.

"It's not fair to show blatant favoritism in a harem, Minato-kun. I know Yukari-chan is the closes person to you right now because you're siblings. I understand it's much easier to convey with her your secrets, desires, and hidden fetishes you might have because she's closer to your heart and won't judge. But try trusting us a little more like you do for her? Open your heart to us so we can help you when you need help. None of us will judge you for being a different person and we won't think less of you after tonight."

A body crashed into his back and wrapped her arms tightly around his stomach. She buried her face into his back pushing her entire body to be parallel to his. Minato peeked over his left shoulder catching the straight blond locks that belonged to his youngest Sekirei Kusano.

"Maa, Kusano can be quite selfish when she's not her chibi self anymore. How lucky for you Minato-kun that she adores you so much. According to you, you have done so much for her with rescuing her, winging her to be your Sekirei, giving her a warm home with plenty to eat, and then doing the same for her best friend. She has so much trust and respect for you don't you think it's only fair to give her the same, or at very least a minimal amount of your faith too?" Kazehana brought her lips closer laying a kiss to Minato's jaw. The other females flinched at this but held their tongues.

"I don't care what kind of person you are onii-sama. You're my Ashikabi-sama who has given me everything I ever wanted. I love you so much and can't stand it when you're sad. I know I'm being selfish for asking this but just know that I will never stop loving you. I will stay with you forever and ever no matter where you go I will be right there with you."

"Ku-chan..."

While her confession was barely audible because she had said this with her face still buried into his back. Minato didn't need to focus his hearing to hear her. He was touched by her words hearing the truth and loyalty for him behind every sentence. Hearing footsteps coming closer to him, he saw Yume standing next to Kazehana, and was standing on his left side looking up at him. She looked up at Minato with a beautiful smile, her pupils shimmering in delight and love looking back at the face of the person she loves with her entire being.

"Minato-kun... take this moment right this second to absorb these feelings you're experiencing. Next looked deeply into our eyes and see the depth of emotions we have for you. Nothing has, or will ever change of how we see you. Our love for you is eternal, please remember you can always confide in us with your troubles. We're beings of love and that love is to always be by your side and support you, Minato-kun."

His cheeks were grasped by Musubi turning his head to face her. Her breathtaking smile was similar to Yume's, but hers had her very own charm Minato adored seeing from the busty Fist-type.

"Minato-sama, there is nothing you need to hide from us. Like Yume-sama just said we will love you forever and that won't ever change. Musubi will always be your Sekirei and I will always love you." She paused standing on her toes to lay a quick and endearing kiss to Minato's lips. It was brief so her wings will not appear. Pulling back her gaze smoldering in sentimentalism looking into Minato's steel-gray eyes. Musubi began to speak again looking directly into her Ashikabi's eyes. "To prove Musubi's love for Minato-sama I'll fight my very best and win the Sekirei Plan so I can stay with Minato-sama forever."

Musubi stepped back to bring her arms forward. Closing them into fists she brought them close to both sides of her breasts causing them to jiggle from her pose. Minato focused his stare on her breasts when they did that he won't deny this. Seeing her abnormally large chest jiggle from the smallest movement roused his dormant lust for his Miko garbed Sekirei staring at him with love, devotion, and trust in her eyes seeping maturity that left him confused seeing it on Musubi's innocent visage.

Following Yume's instructions Minato closed his eyes. Taking a deep breath he opened his senses to feel for the emotions he was feeling and in tandem to those of his Sekireis using their bond. He visibly reacted with a sharp but brief intake of breath at what he found. Through the bond with his Sekireis he was literally overwhelmed by the waves of happy emotions each of his Sekireis were feeding him.

Not one tipped the balance towards them and surpassing their fellow Sekirei. Leaving Minato to sense and feel the equal amount of love, happiness, trust, loyalty, care, and intimacy each of his Sekireis had for him.

Opening his eyes again he looked around the room beginning with the four closest to him. Like Yume said before he looked deeply into their different colored eyes finding the same emotions he felt from their bond swimming behind their loving gazes. Lifting his head he looked at the rest of his Sekireis around the room finding the same flux of joyful emotions staring back at him. His wandering eyes fell on the silent, bashful form of Tsukiumi doing her absolute best to avoid his gaze. She was looking at the white painted wall, where the flat screen television and entertainment center was. Her blush resemble a tomato increasing in color feeling his eyes on her face.

"Tsukiumi?" Minato said with a smirk. Finding pleasure in Tsukiumi's expected reaction to deny her feelings and admit them to him.

She didn't response, or turn her head to show she had heard him. Trying a second time, everyone else's gaze now focused solely on the demure and flustered blond Sekirei of water. After a full minute of ignoring him, she finally acquiesced and turned to look at him. Her embarrassed, timid ocean blue orbs staring softly back at his amused and proud steel-gray eyes.

"...I-I suppose it's complementary for thee, my Ashikabi to hear my feelings come out from my own lips. T-Thou need not worry h-husband for I am your w-w-wife. It's a wife's duty to support her husband through everything. That is how a marriage works with both spouses supporting each other. That will not change between u-us!"

She yelled out the last word at the ending. Tsukiumi bashfully looked back at the wall she was staring at prior her arms crossed below her breasts. Her blush grew darker in terms of red and more volume after confessing her feelings. Minato's other Sekireis began to quietly snicker and giggle to themselves at Tsukiumi expense. Some were a bit more mindful of their surroundings choosing not to humiliate the water mistress further than she already was.

Minato had joined in letting out a few chuckles. Reaffirming his decision that Tsukiumi is immensely cute and fun to tease whenever she's flustered. Which is quite easily to pull off looking back to all their previous interactions together. Yukari chose to spare Tsukiumi and simply smiled at the back of her head. Chifuyu had on a small smirk on her lips, Tabane was smiling returning to her normal eccentric and joyful self. Houki was watching the warm and friendly scene with a half-lidded stare and Ichika not knowing where he fits in all this. Smiled sheepishly to stay relevant in these discussion.

'She is just too adorable and cute. No wonder Kazehana and Karasuba love teasing her so much. And she's a submissive. I knew this from when we had sex, but seeing Tsukiumi as her natural self. It's a sight to be captured so it can be seen forever not just once.'

"I love you, Tsukiumi." Minato said earnestly with a real smile on his lips. The females surrounding him whom these words were not addressed to felt the sheer volume and desire behind these three simple words. They were feeling increasingly jealous of the blond water mistress receiving this heartfelt confession from Minato. Yukari too was feeling jealous no longer feeling sympathy for Tsukiumi. She started to pout puffing out her cheeks in a stern, but childish glare.

Tsukiumi herself hearing the confession from Minato reacted accordingly. Steam poured out of her ears, her ruby blush turned crimson, sweat rapidly fell from her head soaking her face and the top portion of her white dress. Finally her eyes were wide-open still staring at the wall, widened to great lengths not possible to achieve. Her lips frozen in a thin line from hearing Minato's confession to loving her.

Turning away from his self-destructing water Sekirei having a mental breakdown. Minato was facing Chifuyu and Tabane once again. After the words needing to be said have been said, and secrets finally revealed from Minato's past. The only step remaining was the compromise for both sides. Where do the childhood friends for over twenty years go from here.

Minato began the conversation first looking deeply into the amber and purple eyes of his oldest friends. His own stare held determination and confidence, as well as love for this exact moment.

"Now you know... everything I did as Minato, the "Demon King" and "Spectre". Whatever other people might, or may not believe is everything I did has and always will be to protect the people closest to me. My own desires and wants have swayed in my decisions and show with my actions. Before I did anything, however. You four and Yukari were always the first thing I thought of. In my mind I always would question myself what you five would think of me once you've heard what I do and have done. Never has a day gone by where I don't ask myself this repeated question. Now that we're here and you now know my past. It's your choice what you want to do with this information. However, should you decide to stay and can be patience with me then I can loosen up and trust you with my secrets. Is this fair Houki-chan?"

Minato said with a smirk over his lips directed at Houki. The little sister of Tabane looked from the corner of her eyes at him looking at her between Chifuyu and her older sister's shoulders. She turned away quickly her blush growing on her cheeks. Houki gave a timid and shy nod to Minato quietly never turning to face him.

The floor still belonged to his oldest friends standing in front of him. Both females were roughly the same height standing next to each other, but Minato was still the tallest standing at (6'2) feet. Stopping at his shoulders the two ladies silently looked at the other from the corners of their eyes. No words were needed but a firm nod of their heads confirmed their mute decision. Turning their heads to look up at Minato in his eyes. His childhood friends smiled at him and Chifuyu spoke first for her and Tabane.

"I can accept that. This one right here knows how much I care for you and vice versa. Death isn't a topic I shy away from so knowing now what you been doing since we went our own ways does not surprise me in the least. All I really care about is you putting your trust in me and coming to me when the times are at their worse. If you promise to treat us fairly like you do with Yukari-chan then I have no problem joining your extended harem."

Tabane picked up after Chifuyu had finished. She kissed Minato on his right cheek and pulled back. He turned his head to face his favorite bunny girl giving her his undivided attention.

"I would want nothing more than to be apart of your life, Mina-kun. I will stay and accept everything you are. I'm not afraid, or ashamed of the things you have done in your past because it doesn't matter. You're still the same Mina-kun I know and love with all my heart. If you can change and learn to trust me, Chi-chan, and everyone else with your darkest secrets then that's also good to hear."

Tabane stopped and stared deep into Minato's restrained storm-gray eyes holding much love and kindness in them. Fresh tears appeared in her eyes streaming down her cheeks Tabane using the back of her right hand to wipe away her tears, and Minato helped by using his thumb.

"I love you, Mina-kun... I don't care that I have to share you I just want to be in your life." She stopped as more tears came rushing down her cheeks. Giving a soft amused chuckle, Minato wiped away her tears with his thumb and answering Tabane's confession.

"Heh heh. I love you too, Tabane-chan. I want nothing more than to make you mine. Thank you for choosing to stay with me." Kissing her forehead he was pulled away by Chifuyu. Her hands holding his face in her grasp she was glaring at him with tears in her eyes. Chifuyu's attempts to keep a stern and emotionless visage failed with displaying a weak and adorable one instead.

"...I love you also, Minato. My confession might not be as heartful as Tabane's. But... just know I care a lot for you and I don't care about you having a harem of alien women. If your heart's big enough to include us that's good enough for me."

"Heh heh, Chi-chan. You finally confessed your true feelings for Mina-kun! See... you were worried about nothing."

Chifuyu was about to retort already in Tabane's face when Minato kissed her forehead. Her flustered smile widened as she wasn't prepared for Minato to immediately open up like he did. Her eyes widened looking up at Minato leaning his face closer to her.

"I love you too, Chifuyu. You and Tabane have made this night memorable for me. Thank you for doing this. I love you, my Dusk Raven."

Chifuyu's face became frozen and adopted a new shade of red. Unable to follow-up with a response hearing the nickname he had given her as a birthday present when she was nine. After so many years, hearing him say it with so much endearment in his voice. Chifuyu couldn't find the words, or make the facial expression to express what she was feeling instead choosing to stay silent and salvage her ruined reputation. Minato simply pat her on the head finding her too cute when flustered to a great degree.

Looking behind their heads at their younger siblings standing next to the entrance to the hallway. Houki and Ichika watched the loving exchange between their older brother figure and their respective big sister's. Knowing what their answers will be he chose to ask them anyways to make them relevant in the discussion.

"Ichika-kun, Houki-chan... What are your answers?" Smirking in delight he waited as Ichika opened his mouth first. A friendly smile on his lips confirmed Minato's theory.

"I only heard about you being Spectre from hearing Chifuyu-nee whispering it to herself." Chifuyu still frozen in place, her blush deepen with Ichika revealing she had been speaking to herself when she was certain no one was listening-in. Minato placed his left hand on the back of her head and brushed her hair to sooth her. He nodded in Ichika's direction telling him to continue. "I asked Jarvis about this and he showed me the armor in your office. Even after listening to everything said in the past half-hour I don't see you any different Minato-san. Plus you make Chifuyu-nee happy so I hope this says enough. I've always trusted you Minato-san and that will never change."

Minato nodded to the other male in the room besides him. He turned his head looking at the side of Houki's head. She still wasn't looking at him and he knew exactly why, but he still wanted to hear her response. Luckily for him, she turned her head to look straight out him. A mild and transparent blush on her cheeks, and her eyes held a strong sense of fortitude and bravery. Minato kept his smirk waiting on Houki to find her voice to match the emotions she was displaying to him.

Opening her lips she looked straight into Minato's eyes. Inhaling a deep breath from her chest she quietly released it through her nose, her lips were set into a thin line. Telling herself she was ready she faced Minato and said.

"...After hearing everything and listening to your reasons and faults. I can tell that you always were thinking about us before doing anything. Your face tells how you're always concerned for our safety no matter what it is you're doing. You call yourself a monster, however; I don't see a monster. I only see the same Minato-nii-chan, who's always there to protect me and keep me safe. I don't think any differently of him at all. Because he will always be the Minato I love."

Houki confessed her true feelings not flustered, nor embarrassed she just said this in front of everyone, including her older sister. Minato nodded his head to Houki's last sentence confessing her love. Her love for him as an older brother figure and her love for him as a person.

Lowering his head, his hair covering his eyes behind a curtain of shadow. His lips formed a smirk and he started to release a chorus of chuckles from his lips. Raising his head so not to worry everyone, his gaze was warm and inviting, they also hold acceptance in them. Minato has decided to open up his heart further and welcome in everyone to his world of how he really sees humanity and the world around them. His closest friends and Sekireis say they will not judge him, or turn away when they see him behave uncensored. Only the future can tell if they change their minds in the end. Right this second he will give them the benefit of the doubt and trust them with his life.

"Heh heh heh... If that is what you wish. I will agree to your terms." He said in a cryptic manner full of amusement, but with a friendly smile to not appear he was lying.

Putting his hands on Tabane's and Chifuyu's heads he rubbed his hand through their hair and massage their scalps. Chifuyu slowly returning to her normal stoic self jumped in surprised but did not stop Minato's hand. Tabane closed her eyes and hummed a small tune, enjoying Minato's hand massaging her hair.

Removing his hands from their heads. He brought his arms back to his sides then turned his head to the left where Yukari and his flock stood around the room and kitchen in silence. They had seen his interactions with Chifuyu and Tabane and were displaying different levels of anger, jealously, and desire.

Chuckling under his breath at their facial expressions stuck into stern, heated glares looking quietly at the backs of the oblivious women, who were his childhood friends. Needing to reform order and the peace within his home. Minato stepped away from Chifuyu and Tabane and moved around them to stand in front of his Sekireis.

They understood he was going to speak to them because all of his Sekireis stood up straight. Seeing their Ashikabi walking towards them was a hidden order to listen-up and get together.

Minato liked these unofficial orders, and if such a book existed he'd read through the entire almanac.

"Listen here. Tonight's revelations have no effects going forward. The capital will be sealed off tomorrow afternoon to prepare for the start of the second phase. We will bring an swift end to the Sekirei Plan before it can even begin." His Sekireis nodded firmly with resolution on their faces. "Because it's late as it is already we will save the introductions for the morning. Chifuyu, Tabane, Ichika, and Houki will be our guests for now on, I don't have to repeat myself on what I expect from you girls? As for the schedule we discussed back in London, first it will be Tsukiumi and Akitsu accompanying me then next week will be Yume and Musubi, the week after them will be Karasuba and Yahan and so forth. This should satisfy everyone concerned with my safety."

Getting no objections from any of his Sekireis. Tsukiumi, Yume, Hikari, Hibiki, Yahan, Kazehana, and Kusano being the loudest vocals back in London when asking to always have one, or two Sekireis with him. Taking their silence as agreeing to his terms Minato pulled his sleeves up and looked at the time. It was nearing three in morning and these talks stopped at around ten minutes, adding in the time they arrived at the tower and the five minutes riding the elevator up and opening the front door to his home.

Bringing that arm down to his side the cloaking device re-activated hiding Minato's self-inflicted cybernetic arm behind a illusion of flesh and blood he once possessed. Looking over his shoulder at his sitting suitcase contemplating whether to take it to his room, or leave it. He moved his stare to his little sister and his childhood friends and their younger siblings he was close to. Turning his head around again he addressed his Sekireis again.

"The real fighting starts now, I know you girls will not disappoint me. You're training has proven promising in your individual skills and your chemistry when paired in teams. Although you girls have only a month's worth of training done, I have no doubt even Kusano can defeat her opponent with little difficulty. The time to put your strategies and newly created moves to use in the crucible is now. Show me and our enemies whoever they are why I've entrusted so much promise in you ladies."

His flock including Yomi nodded their heads to Minato. Thanks to Jarvis' tutelage Yomi has been training on her free time to stand on par, or close enough with her Ashikabi's other stronger Sekireis, who have had a month to train for the Sekirei Plan's second phase.

A chorus of soft chuckles blend with a eerie and disturbing laugh was heard coming from Karasuba. Minato moved his eyes to his beautiful, and psychotic silver-haired swordswoman standing in front of his personal indoor bar. She was grinning with her head tilted upwards at the ceiling with her left hand lazily spinning the hilt of her sword in it's sheath.

"I figure Minaka will be having trouble sleeping right about now. Nothing happens in this city without the bastard knowing about it. He's increasing security around MBI with soldiers and policeman alike I bet. Ohhh, I will enjoy myself once the fighting starts." The last sentence was due to her stretching her body. Fatigue and tiredness started to take root in Karasuba and everyone else still awake.

With the adrenaline leaving their systems, and the anger dissipating from their faces now taking a sobered up and calm visage. Sleep was taking form and weighting heavily on everyone's shoulders within the living room. Minato pressed the speaker button on his data paired glove activating the speaker system in his home and calling for Jarvis.

"Jarvis, wake me up in three hours and lock down the tower again. Yomi, you have the rest of the week off. I'll handle breakfast so you can sleep-in. That is everything we will discuss tonight. Return to your rooms and go to sleep, my door will be open if anyone wishes to share my bed with me. I'll see everyone in the morning when Jarvis calls you for breakfast. Dismissed and good night."

"Yes, Minato-sama. I will wake you up in four hours. Good night, Minato-sama." Jarvis said through the speakers then going to work to locking down the tower.

Minato already was walking back to his bedroom choosing to leave his suitcase at the door thinking it was a waste of time he could instead use for sleeping. Tabane clinged onto his body grabbing his right arm between her cleavage and bringing it closer to her body. The joyful look on her face told where she was sleeping tonight.

Yukari picked up her suitcase holding it in front of her both hands on the handle. She quietly followed behind her onii-sama to his bedroom. Everyone else dispersed going to their own rooms and to sleep in their own beds after almost a week out of the country. Those who took Minato's offer to sleep with him in his bed were Akitsu, Kazehana, Karasuba, Tsukiumi, and Musubi.

Chifuyu reluctantly decided to return to her own room, while Houki feeling flustered like Chifuyu chose to stay in her own bed. Ichika said his good nights to his older sister and best friend and went back to bed.

xox

Breakfast time was at nine, however, an extra ten minutes were added for those refusing to wake up when Jarvis called for everyone to come to the dining area and take their seats at the breakfast table. Minato alone was woken up at six to prepare breakfast for his home of seventeen. After untangling himself from the limbs of his sleeping Sekirei and a strong Tabane, he took a shower in the hallway bathroom to not disturb them, and spent the next three hours preparing a feast.

Said feast had foods native to his home and a couple dishes from the west he knew to make by heart, and those he had a taste for in the past and learned to make himself after getting permission to use these recipes.

Minato wasn't entirely alone for the three hours he was cooking for his friends and Sekireis alike. At the eight 'o clock hour several of his Sekireis woke up smelling the aroma of spices, and the multitude of various appliances could be heard from their rooms. They used the bathrooms to shower and clean themselves up then joined their Ashikabi and waited for breakfast to be finished.

Yume and the lighting twins offered to help Minato to increase the number of hands in the kitchen, but he politely refused reminding them he was suppose to cook breakfast without any help. He asked the three to find something to do while he finished. They acquiesced with Yume walked back to the living area and join Kusano, Shiina, and Akitsu on the couches watching cartoons. The twins sat at the counter behind the kitchen on the bar stools there. Hikari took a brush she borrowed from the bathroom and brushed her sister's hair.

When Minato finished cooking and Jarvis called everyone for breakfast, Yume and Kusano helped by calling Chifuyu and Ichika. Houki was already at the dining table from being awake because she had been training in her room.

When everyone, especially those who slept in his bed last night joined everyone for breakfast. A normal and lively breakfast took place at the dining table inside the penthouse suite. His Sekireis following Minato's orders and wishes behaved and showed respect towards Chifuyu, Tabane, Ichika, and Houki. But some instants of jealously and possessive tenacity took place with Akitsu sitting beside Minato on his left, and Kusano wanting to sit on his lap with Yukari telling her that wasn't allowed when having guests over in his home. But he knew his little sister wanted to sit on his lap but couldn't so she tried to stop Kusano from enjoying what she can't.

Beside these two hiccups. Breakfast went pretty well for Minato and his guests. All his time cooking and worrying over his Sekireis wasn't needed as his flock proved to him they can be relied upon when it counts.

Sitting in his permanent spot at the head of the table facing the kitchen. A bowl of white rice in his hands and chopsticks in the other. His almost mute chewing and eyes sealed closed looked sincere. Minato was aware he was being looked at by about everyone at the table. He ignored their stares and continued eating his breakfast. He moved his chopsticks to his grilled mackerel sitting on a rectangular wooden plate. Taking a piece off and tipping it into a small dish of teriyaki sauce to his left and raising it to his lips. He savored the tangy but sweet flavor of the homemade sauce.

"Akitsu, Tsukiumi... I need to run some errands after breakfast. When your finished eating go get dressed and meet me at the door. These errands aren't on a time limit so no rush."

The quiet snow woman nodded her head at him and continued eating. No one else wanting to start a conversation kept to themselves and continued eating. Ichika decided to break the ice knowing none from his circle, or Minato's circle will do it themselves.

"What are these errands for Minato-san?" He said checking beside him and across from him for any reactions. All he could see were a couple raised eyebrows, perk of the head indicating they were listening, and lastly the opening of a single eye and looking out the corner of it from some. Ichika sighed in his mind seeing it will take more for both parties to open up and become social towards each other.

Minato looked down the table at the only other male sitting to his right in the center of the table. Still eating his rice he spoke simultaneously to answer Ichika's innocent question.

"Just a trip to the supermarket and the bakery Yukari and I frequently went to when we were children. Small tasks I don't need to handle personally but it gives me the opportunity to spend time with those accompanying me." More ears listened-in to Minato's explanation, while both Akitsu and Tsukiumi blushed at Minato's last words.

"Ne, Onii-sama... Do you mind if I go with you too? It's been so long since I talked with Kyou-chan and the rest of the Fujibayashi family." Yukari begged remembering all the happy memories she has of that same bakery she and Minato always visited when they were younger. Unknown to her she was currently the object of everyone's jealously save for Akitsu and Tsukiumi. Oblivious to the glares poking at the side of her head, Yukari's only focused was waiting for her onii-sama to give his answer to her request.

"That sounds perfect. They'll be ecstatic with seeing you again, Yukari." Minato smiled himself seeing the joyful and delighted smile on Yukari. Remembering how much the Fujibayashi's enjoy Yukari's company. "Akitsu, Tsukiumi. Any objections?"

"Ah... none Minato-sama."

"I-I have no problem with Yukari-chan joining us. If she wishes to accompany us with completing your errands for this morning then she's may come with. I have no complains on the matter." Tsukiumi blushed while she gave her response. Mostly due to Minato looking at her with a smirk and clear amusement in his gaze, and Yukari staring at her with a look that was divine and perfect. Tsukiumi stumble on the start of her words believing she was looking at an angel from Heaven.

"Thank you very much for letting me join you. Akitsu-san, Tsukiumi-onee-sama." Yukari smiled at the two innocently to show her thanks. Her smile was a sight to behold getting reactions from the two adult women. Akitsu had stars in her eyes and Tsukiumi stopped herself from doing a spit-take to preserve her image. She nearly spit out the water in her throat from seeing Yukari's gorgeous smile and being called onee-sama a second time.

Minato looked at the entranced and flustered expressions of his two single digit Sekireis. Yukari's ethereal and natural beauty paired with her gentle, caring, supportive, and loving personality can stop even the coldest of hearts. He should know... Her peerless beauty seem to have been carved by stone with precise attention to detail and care. Her eyes are a breathtaking blue that light up with joy whenever she smiles, or laughs. It has people who see her thinking they have been blessed to see an angel laughing. Yukari wasn't voluptuous, or petite like some of his Sekireis were. Her shape and figure was more in-between the two, which made her perfect.

Even now she still receives love letters and marriage proposals not only from Japan but around the world. The list of her suitors cover almost every cliché known. Of course those letters asking for her hand are no longer as frequent now than they were five years ago. Minato has forgotten how many of those letters and marriage contracts he has destroyed. The number is somewhere in the hundreds, or was it a thousand?

*Ring, ring. Ring, ring.*

The door bell rang breaking the quiet the room had fallen under. All eyes turned to look at the door wondering who was behind it. The human circle of siblings knew who was behind the door. A certain brunette coming to mind in Chifuyu and Tabane's heads remembering they had the longest interactions talking with her.

"Jarvis..." Minato ordered his A.I. and the speaker system then turned on.

"Opening the door, Minato-sama." Unlocking the door it opened inward from Jarvis opening it from within the tower's computer system. And low and behold standing outside the door was Uzume. She was wearing her normal casual clothes and held a white burlap sack over her right shoulder. Her facial expression became uncomfortable finding a dozen different colored eyes looking at her. She took a step back her stance showed she was terrified and thinking about leaving.

"That's enough everyone. I invited Uzume to come see me four nights ago. You're making her feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about herself with your stares." Standing up from his seat Minato calmly walked over to the distraught and timid Sekirei. Reaching her he grabbed her chin with his right hand. Her expression was no longer terrified displaying her insecurity. At his touch Uzume mewled quietly, savoring his contact and pressing herself deeper into his touch.

Chuckling at this from her mewling and vying for his touch he pictured Uzume as a small kitten. His argument was further supported with the brunette rubbing her cheek against his fingers.

Although he was enjoying himself very much with Uzume's affectionate cuddling. He could feel the daggers on his back of the jealous and hostiles glares coming from the breakfast table. Releasing a sigh from cutting his fun early. Minato stared down at Uzume's blissful visage unaware of the glares she was receiving from everyone. Simply feeling content of finally being in his embrace.

"Enjoying yourself, my little bird?" Minato held back his laughter seeing her recoil in surprise and blushing with embarrassment. He suspected for forgetting where she was and behaving like she did in front of everyone sitting behind him. Ruffling her hair to get her attention Uzume tilted her head up to look at him. A small amount of pink on her cheeks. Giving her a reassuring and warm smile he continued with his previous dialogue. "I've made you wait long enough. I remember the promise my clone made with you the night of the attack. You have my sincere thanks for protecting both my home and the people I cherish deeply. Your reward, as promised is your wings. Do you have any regrets little bird?"

Uzume furiously shook her head. Minato released a chuckle at her eagerness and slight impatience. Tilting her head slightly with his hand still holding her chin. He lowered his face over Uzume's and took her lips for a kiss. She quickly moaned into their kiss wrapping both of her arms around his neck to press herself into his body and deepen the kiss.

Wings of white cloth smooth like silk sprouted behind Uzume's new Sekirei Mark behind her neck. Her wings glowed and shined under a golden light, with a golden halo over her head and Uzume would resemble one of Heaven's Angels. An image Minato pocketed away for later picturing Uzume wearing her white battle outfit, a golden halo hovering over her head, and her wings of silken cloth out for the entire world to witness.

Releasing the kiss with his new Sekirei making Uzume is thirteenth Sekirei now. Taking his lips away from hers, he went back again laying a gentle peck to her lips then withdrawing back. Opening her eyes, she looked up at her Ashikabi's smiling visage looking back down at her. She returned his smile with a beautiful smile of her own. Her brown orbs staring tearfully back at up Minato containing love and absolute devotion in them.

"By the veil of my contract, my Ashikabi's nightmares will be dispelled." She voiced her norito giving herself fully to her new Ashikabi, Minato. She threw herself into his arms and wrapped her own arms tightly around his neck. Minato moved his hands down to Uzume's curvy waist and resting them on her flaring hips. Bringing her close to him he brought his lips to her left ear and whispered into it with love.

"Welcome home little bird, my Tenshi." Uzume blushed hotly both at his words and nickname for her, and at his nose buried into her hair. Slowly removing himself from Uzume's tight hold of him, it taking a moment from her arms refusing to let go of him in the first place. Grabbing a hold of her right hand with his left one. Minato gently pulled her over to the dining table and introduce her to his childhood friends, his other Sekireis, and his little sister.

It would be a foolish effort to plainly ignore the hostility and growing feeling of dread circling around the breakfast table and counter tops away from the table, where three of his Sekireis sat. Minato didn't care in the slightest and showed it too with displaying a carefree smile on his face. Turning his head over his shoulder he smiled at Uzume's sincere, flustered features.

"You're already acquainted with my friends and their younger siblings. You will get to know the rest of my Sekireis later as they're your new sisters. Leaving my little sister Yukari, whom you have yet to meet in person."

Yukari stood up from her seat and bowed her head to Uzume. Her arms were crossed together and held in front of her over her skirt. With Uzume commenting on Yukari's divine beauty and gentle appearance received smiles from the two Oda siblings. Sitting back down in their respective seats at the table, Minato looked over his shoulder again finding Uzume stuck and looking around the table with uncertainty.

"Something the matter?" He said garnering her attention to look at him. Her eyes looked complicated darting around the dining table for something.

"I-I don't know where I should sit down... I can't find any seat for me here at the table..." She confessed with honesty. She refused to meet his gaze feeling too embarrassed with herself. Thinking he will laugh at her for something so simple.

"Is that all...? Jarvis remind me to give a call to my furniture outlet for a new table. For now come here, Uzume." Coming closer she raised her left arm out as he requested. She then let out a squeal from Minato unsuspectedly grabbing her hand and placing her to sit on his lap. Moving his right arm to rest on her stomach holding her steady on his lap.

Everyone watched the position the Ashikabi and Sekirei pair were in. Various reactions and facial expressions were made from seeing them this way, and Uzume was speechless finding herself sitting on her Ashikabi's lap with his arm holding her intimately.

"There, comfy?" He asked the blushing brunette sitting on his lap. Her response was a nod of her head. Suddenly too shy to say anything with her words. Minato looked at the side of her face with a smile. Reaching with his free hand towards the table he grabbed his glass of water and brought it to his lips. Drinking the cold, refreshing water, he released a sigh then he looked back at Uzume's flustered smile turning away from him and looking in the opposite direction at Yukari. "Eat as much as you want. I'm quite certain you skipped breakfast with Miya-san this morning so eat up."

Uzume still refused to look at Minato but she nodded her head and reached for his used chopsticks and bashfully started with his bowl of rice. Smiling, he ruffled her hair and side ponytail spending extra time with her ponytail. Looking at the rest of his guests sitting at the dining table and countertops. Minato wasn't shaken by the glares of daggers and hostile stares radiating despair looking at him and only him.

Luckily, none of their stares were towards Uzume, who continued eating her breakfast taking things mostly off of Minato's plate. Yukari and Ichika spared him, however. His little sister offering a small forgiving smile as support, and Ichika being the only other male together with Minato sympathized with his older brother figure, looking at him while giving him a sheepish smile and letting out uncomfortable chuckles under his breath.

Finding nothing out of the usual from his daily experiences amongst his Sekireis, Minato turned his gaze to back to watching Uzume eat. Closing his eyes he ruffled her hair and not saying anything else. This continued until the end of breakfast. Minato leaving to complete his errands was accompanied by Akitsu, Tsukiumi, Yukari, and Uzume. The latter was offered to tag along by Minato given she's new and because he wanted to spend time with his newly winged Sekirei.

Spending the rest of the morning starting with by going to his favorite supermarket to stock up on groceries for two months worth and other essentials. The next destination on the list was visiting a friend of Minato's from his time in the military about a new dining table. His friend worked for a furniture warehouse and retail store of the same name, where Minato has purchased all of his furniture from.

The two males caught up with a brief explanation of each others lives, and Minato asking his friend for a dining table of increased length similar to the one he already owns. He agreed without asking for the reason behind it. He informed Minato his new table will be ready in two days and will be delivered to his home at Raven Tower. The two friends said their goodbyes with a brotherly hug as suggested by his friend.

The final errand and stop was the bakery the Oda siblings remembered from their childhoods. Walking through the front door of the shop, the brother and sister were immediately embraced and welcomed warmly by the matriarch of the Fujibayahshi family. A beautiful woman in her early forties with long lavender hair reaching her waist. Warm, motherly purple eyes and a gentle face, which went together with her kind and nurturing nature. The aura she exudes was always inviting to the Oda siblings standing in her embrace. Enough to the point where both Minato and Yukari secretly saw Fujibayahshi-san as a second mother to them, or a mother they desired from Takami. Her clothes were a red long-sleeved shirt with the collar folded inward hiding her neck. A black knee-length skirt, with black leggings underneath and comfortable shoes on her feet. The shoes were dark brown. Over her clothes she had on a white apron so she didn't dirty her clothing when baking. While her husband does most of the baking for their store, she will lend a hand when asked, or when business for them up front is slow.

Standing with their backs to the glass door and front entrance into the bakery. Akitsu, Tsukiumi, and Uzume watched in silence at their Ashikabi and his little sister were asked a thousand questions from the adult woman exuding a gentle, motherly aura around her similar to Nene when they met the female bodyguard. The three Sekirei smiled their own small smiles at the warm scene in front of them.

Meeting new people close to Minato and Yukari, seeing them smile and laugh when in their presences. It was an endearing and loving sight for the Sekireis to witness especially from their Ashikabi. While Uzume has not been by Minato's side long enough to see him behind his mask. However, seeing the true smile on his face when speaking with the adult woman he and Yukari were closely familiar with. The three Sekirei women remained quiet simply watching the warm family scene play in front of them.

The matriarch of the Fujibayahshi family released her hold of Minato's and Yukari's shoulders. She moved around the two and stood in front of them. She spared a glance behind the siblings at Minato's Sekirei and smiled at the three women and turned her attention back to the siblings.

"Maa, look at you two all grown up. Yukari-chan how have you been? It's been what... three years since your last visit? And you Minato-kun... I understand the stress of running a successful business can be. But making time to see us once a month wouldn't hurt your busy schedule."

In speech pattern when speaking to the both of them differ with Yukari receiving a warm greeting. While Minato's was a scolding and her chastising his lack of visits to the shop. His last visit was a month ago with Akitsu, however, he himself didn't walk through the front door in person. He asked Akitsu to buy the bread since he had to take a important business call, which was a waste time.

"It's wonderful to see you, Katsumi-kaa-san. My apologies for not visiting as often. Schoolwork and activities back home took much of my free time away. I rarely was able to talk with Onii-sama like I would have wanted to."

"I too would like to apologies myself, Katsumi-san. I'll make it so I visit twice every month rather than a single visit. This way my visits won't come off as unsuspected and forced."

The two gave their apologizes to the now named Katsumi. The affectionate woman giggled behind her hand with her eyes closed in glee. Minato's mind pictured Miya's form over Katsumi's when seeing this. Controlling her laughter Katsumi opened her eyes again. Her purple orbs gleaming with joy and kindness in them. With some amount of teasing buried behind the former two emotions of happiness.

"Stop feeling sorry the both of you. I understand your reasons and I won't hold it over your heads. I can never think bad about my own daughters, and the same goes for you Minato-kun, Yukari-chan. Besides I've overheard that your starting college in the fall. Isn't that right Yukari-chan? And Minato-kun you gave a good presentation in London introducing your company's newest models and inventions. I'm more proud for the both of you than anything else."

She embraced the Oda siblings again and they returned by using one arm. Minato embraced her with his left and Yukari used her right one, their fingers intertwining behind Katsumi's back. Removing themselves from each others bodies Katsumi looked over their heads again back at Akitsu, Tsukiumi, and Uzume standing with their backs to the front glass door.

A teasing smile enveloped her facial features. Her dazzling purple eyes mimicked her smile as she looked at Minato. His own face had a smirk and amusement in his eyes.

"Minato-kun... who are your lady friends standing quietly behind you and Yukari-chan? Thought I wouldn't notice, you dog? Well, I shouldn't be too surprised seeing how you always had girls surrounding you, with two always hanging off your arms. It's not uncommon for a man to desire having a harem of women surrounding him. I never believed I would see it with my own eyes though."

Here Minato laughed uproariously, Yukari giggled with her eyes closed and turned her head to look at a corner of the room. While the three silent Sekirei blushed at the truth behind Katsumi's words, although the wife and mother didn't know how right she was assuming Minato's harem.

Opening his eyes and facing forward at Katsumi. Minato wiped away the imaginary tear in his eyes using the back of his index finger.

"While I'm not distant towards the idea of starting my own harem. I'm still searching for my Queen to rule beside me. Even then I doubt she will surpass my love for spoiling Yukari." Minato raised his right arm and used his hand to push aside the bangs that fell between Yukari's eyes. She blushed at his thoughtfulness and honest words. Behind them his Sekireis were glaring at Yukari's back desiring the same care and love from their Ashikabi. Katsumi didn't share their jealously and simply nodded her head with a knowing smile.

"You both would make a beautiful couple if you weren't siblings. But even still it would be a task for a new woman to be more important than Yukari-chan. It seems impossible given you two are inseparable from each other. Oh, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, I'm positive your feet must be killing you from standing up. What will you be ordering? Everything is on the house." She raised a finger to Minato when he was about to decline. "Before you ask that won't be necessary. You have helped this family through tough times with your generosity and with the extra money you have given us we have been able to redecorate the bakery to what it is today. You'll have helped plenty so it's only fair to return your kindness."

Minato kept his mouth closed and Katsumi taking this as a victory removed her index finger from his lips. Turning herself around she walked behind the counter and stood behind the register. Minato, Yukari, and his flock of three came closer standing at the front counter. Minato's Sekireis walked over to the display case with the Fujibayahshi's signatures cakes, pastries, and pies were on displayed to be viewed through the window outside.

"Like I said everything is on the house. So what will it be today, Minato-kun, Yukari-chan?" Holding up a notepad and pen she had next to her on the counter. Katsumi smiled at the siblings and their most valued customers.

The brother and sister gave each other a side glance and shrugged their shoulders. Minato started with ordering his usual orders of breads and desserts he always buys on every visit. Yukari went next asking for the two breads she remembered having as a little girl back when living with their grandmother. Next were Minato's Sekireis after looking through the menu ordered what they found was delicious, and upon personal recommendations from both Minato and Yukari pointing out the best desserts from said menu.

Writing up every order on her notepad, she needed two pages to complete the orders from Minato's Sekireis. Katsumi placed her pen behind her ear then smiled at the siblings in front of her.

"It will be another seven minutes until a new batch of Italian breads and soy flour breads will be ready. I'll bring out your desserts and beverages while you wait. Please take a seat anywhere inside, or outside on the terrace. I'll bring out your orders once the new batch has finished baking." Katsumi turned her body walking to the red colored flaps outlined with purple accents along the border. They were concealing the kitchen from view as this is where the baking of their breads and desserts took place. "Anata! Our two favorite customers are here and have placed their orders." A male voice was heard from within the kitchen but could barely be heard by the sound of a food mixer being switched on.

Minato lead his little sister and Sekireis outside onto the terrace. Once outside there are three tables against the window with a view of inside the shop. A retractable awning shielding these tables from the sunlight hung overhead. It was blue with five golden vertical lines spaced between the last line. A black iron fence with a built-in gate near the last table serving as the exit. They came out of a second door next to the entrance and sat down together at the first table.

Twenty seconds later Katsumi came out pushing a cart with the items they each ordered. With a motherly smile she gave her thanks for their patronage and entered the store again pushing the empty cart.

Around the circular table starting with Minato going counterclockwise starting with the person on his right being Yukari. His little sister had already taken a bite out of her sugary bread. It resembles a croissant with two sections being pink to give the bread it's sweet flavor. The bread is covered in brown sugar for the sweet tooth everyone possesses. A Pan Dulce of spanish origins named Cuernos (horns).

Next to Yukari was Akitsu drinking her milk flavored iced tea. Keeping her doll-like expression on her face, which many upon first glance would safely assume she was bored and uninterested. In front of her was an untouched peach glazed cheesecake recommended to her by Minato to try. Apparently she favored her beverage more than her dessert causally drinking from it. The peach glaze was covering the white of the cheesecake, and spilling on the plate creating a puddle drowning the golden crust.

Uzume tore a piece of her bread cookie another recommended choice from Minato. It looks like a cookie for one of the choices of bread come baked with chocolate chips in them. For her drink she chose a simple sweeten coffee. Breaking another piece of the harden cookie Uzume dunked the half in her hands into her coffee the corner half swimming in the warm liquid grew soft. Bringing the soft corner she dunked into her coffee towards her mouth. Uzume let out a suppressed moaned due to her mouth being full of bread. She instantly fell in love with the combination doing it a second time with the rest of her bread she hasn't finished.

Tsukiumi sat next to Minato on his left side same to Yukari on his right side. In front of her with the front portion has already been eaten by her was an golden crusted apple pie. The apple glaze spilled out the front covering the plate. Taking the side of her fork she sliced another piece of her pie. Switching her fork to stab into the piece she cut off Tsukiumi brought the piece to her mouth and ate it. As she chewed the piece of pie in her mouth she went back to her plate and was already slicing another piece. More apple glaze spilling from the piece at her cutting into it. Tsukiumi taking her next piece of pie moved it around her plate covering it with the spilled apple glaze. Bringing that piece to her mouth she took it in and chewed. Releasing a muffled moan at the taste of the pie and adding the glaze together to it was delicious.

Her beverage of choice happened to be what Minato ordered for himself. Overhearing him she asked for it as well. His choice being an English breakfast tea sweeten by a spoonful of raw honey. Bringing his cup away from his lips and placing it back on the table. Minato looked through a single eye looking at the faces of his little sister Yukari and his escort being his Sekirei. The four of them were individually eating their desserts and drinking their beverages. No words were spoken, or conversations were said between the five of them. Smirking he closed his one opened eye and reached for a raspberry centered sugar coated scone off the plate next to his second plate holding a strawberry and banana creamed crepe.

These moments of peace and soothing calmness amongst family and the small amount of people he cares for. They were welcomed by Minato during breaks of running a company and his conquest. Spending just a minute experiencing these moments with those he loves is a years worth to Minato no matter the limit he's given. He will treasure them in his heart forever.

"Husband?" Tsukiumi called him by his title this ending the silence she and the others were enjoying until Tsukiumi broke the peace. Minato opened his eyes turning his head slightly to give Tsukiumi his attention. "What did that woman mean by your generosity? Is this family indebted to you? For what purpose?"

This garnered the interest of Akitsu and Uzume looking at their Ashikabi as well. Yukari stayed where she sat drinking her tea with eyes closed. Her ears twitched briefly meaning she was listening-in. But she already knew the reason why the Fujibayahshis were indebted to her onii-sama.

"Hmm... I figured you wouldn't be interested in learning the history of other people, Tsukiumi. You're always saying humans are pigs and dim-witted, unworthy of your time and attention. What changed?"

Tsukiumi's face turned red from blushing and turned her head away in the opposite direction. Walking past the quintet were normal people going through their days, or driving to their next destination. They may be out in the open but their conversation was amongst them, not a word they said will be overheard by a passing civilian.

"It's fine. I was only joking. To answer your question Tsukiumi is a simple matter." Minato stopped turning his head looking through the glass window next to him. Looking inside he could see Katsumi and her husband's form in the kitchen. Katsumi held open one of the flaps allowing him to see the loving couple and parents of two daughter, whom he and Yukari are also familiar with. "This bakery means a lot to Yukari and I. Before our mother Takami went to work for MBI. She would always bring me, Yukari, or us both to this very bakery whenever we were in the city. We would always buy the same thing on every visit. It came to the point where Katsumi-san would always have a bag ready on hand with our usuals next to her when we walked through the front door."

He paused to catch his breath. Minato continued with a smile on his lips.

"Before I was to leave for college, I visited this bakery during my last summer vacation at Wakayama. This place wasn't always like this... this splash of paint and new seats and paintings. The Fujibayahshis came under hard times back then. It got to the point where they were prepared to close the doors to their family bakery forever. This bakery has been in their family since 1942, and their legacy was almost put to rest if not for my intervention. Because this bakery means a lot to me and Yukari and because of the memories we have of this place and the food we grew up on. I couldn't allow it to disappear like so many other things I've lost in my life. With the money I had at the time and the money I would later accumulate with the founding of my company, I would invest and donate money to the Fujibayahshis to support their family and keep the bakery open for years to come. This is what Katsumi-san meant by I've done much for her family. She and the Fujibayahshi family feel indebted to me because of my kindness. I did it because I couldn't stand by and watch a piece of mine and Yukari's childhood disappear forever and the internal suffering of a family destroying their dream."

Minato closed his eyes again. Finished telling his story behind the history of the Fujibayahshi's bakery and the connection it has on him and Yukari. Reaching for a raspberry scone from his first plate. He took a small bite of the sugary treat waiting on Tsukiumi's response to his answer, he didn't need to wait long for her. Realization coming alive in her cerulean blue orbs, her eyes widen at his revelation with her mouth opened in shock unable to speak properly.

When she finally collected herself to speak clearly. Facing Tsukiumi he opened one eye to look at Tsukiumi letting her know he was listening to her. Exhaling her breath in her throat she opened her mouth and saying to Minato what had her suddenly surprised.

"Takami?! As in the head adjustor Sahashi Takami?! She's is thy husband's and Yukari-chan's hahaue!?"

Not expecting that to be her answer. Minato nearly choked on the cookie in his mouth having taken another bite waiting for Tsukiumi to collect herself and her jumbled thoughts.

"Wow... all this time I never would have guessed you were her kids. Almost all of us weren't even aware that Takami-san even had children given her line of work." Uzume spoke after Tsukiumi, she also was surprised by the revelation of learning the two people in front of her were the children of Takami Sahashi. The woman responsible for adjusting and checking up on every Sekirei before and after Miya's husband's death.

Akitsu didn't vocally respond like her two younger sisters did. Instead she widen her eyes and mouth at this. The straw to her iced tea hanging by her lips.

Drinking some of his tea to wash down the cookie stuck in his throat. After pounding on his chest several times for the scone to past through his heart carefully. Minato tilted his head up slightly leveling a mild glare back at Tsukiumi. The water mistress leaned back in her chair at his glare. She was about to apologize when Minato opened his mouth to speak.

"...That's your answer that has you...- Never mind. After all it's my own fault, I recall Kazehana and Karasuba are the only ones whom are aware of my family tree. Regardless I'll tell you three and the others later when we return home."

Leaving no room for argument with a glare of his own. The three Sekireis remained silent and nodded their heads. They had their heads facing down on the table's white surface.

Flying overhead, the sounds of rotor blades from helicopters in the range of a dozen were seen and heard flying in the sky above the Shinto Teito's skyscrapers. Minato, Yukari, Minato's Sekireis, and the civilians stopped themselves what they were doing and looked up into the skies. Black helicopters flying in groups of five were flying in every direction of the city.

On the ground the people on the streets, or still in their cars were confused seeing multiple black military grade humvees driving through the streets in single filed lines. One of the soldiers, an officer sitting in the passenger side of first humvee spoke through a megaphone to calm the people and go about their day. He repeated this until he was out of earshot of Minato and company sitting at the bakery.

Minato looked up into the sky again seeing more black helicopters flying past him. These helicopters were heading north. Narrowing his eyes into slits, he opened his lips and saying after a brief silence.

"It finally begins... Took you long enough, old man." Minato whispered the last part to himself secretly referring to his and Yukari's sperm donor. While he may have respected him early on in his life. Both Minaka and Takami lost the privilege to be called his parents after that night.

"All of the Sekireis have been winged. The Sekirei Plan Phase Two begins." Tsukiumi breathed out still watching the last of the black helicopters disappearing in the distances.

"My winging must have been the last one. Now we're all trapped here..." Uzume said out loud not expecting anyone to comment. She was correct about her assumption. She was indeed the last remaining Sekirei left unwinged until this morning.

Just as the final formation of helicopters disappeared and the roar of military humvees could no longer be heard. Katsumi chose this moment ten seconds afterwards to appear on the outdoor terrace. A warm smile plastered on her face, in her arms in brown paper bags were the rest of the breads Minato ordered. Freshly baked and out of the oven.

"Ara, what was that all about I wonder? Anyways, it matters very little if it involves the military. Here are the rest of your breads as promised. When my husband heard you and Yukari-chan were placing an order he dropped everything he was doing prior and worked very hard on your batch of breads. He means well but he tires really easy when he puts his back into his work every day. We're not that busy during the afternoon, but he always makes me worry about his health."

Standing from his seat Minato gently took the offered bread from Katsumi's arms. Holding the bag to his chest he spared a silent glance to his Sekireis and Yukari. They agreed and started to clean up after themselves.

"Sorry we can't stay any longer, Katsumi-san. We need to get back home and get the milk I purchased into a refrigerator before it spoils. We stopped at the supermarket before coming here. Thanks again for the free desserts and drinks. Sorry we couldn't stay any longer."

Katsumi said nothing except to stretch her arms out for a hug. Minato understanding what she wanted he gave the bag he was holding to Akitsu to hold. The snow woman following her Ashikabi's example and held it against her large breasts. Walking closer to the lavender haired wife and mother, he strongly embraced her in a full bear-hug. While he detest these versions of hugs he'll looked the other way if it's Katsumi-san.

"Don't worry about us. I'm positive Kyou-chan and Ryou-chan will be disappointed to hear they missed your visit. My eldest daughter will certainly become violent when she hears about this but she'll calm down after a nice warm bath."

"Give my regards to those two. Tell them I'm sorry we couldn't stay until they got back." Minato finished after moving away from the hug with Katsumi. Yukari walked up to the mother and embraced her same as him.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Katsumi-kaa-chan. I'm so sorry we can't stay anymore. Tell Kyou-chan I miss her and will like to see her again when she has time." Breaking the intimacy the two took a step backwards, Katsumi's hands holding both of Yukari's shoulders.

"You're just so adorable and cute, Yukari-chan! You're going to make a beautiful wife and a great mother to your children. Ohhh, why couldn't my Kyou be a lot like you?" Yukari blushed at the beautiful comment not sure of how to response to it. "Nevermind this old woman's wants she's just talking to herself. But do remember this Yukari-chan, is that you're going to make the man you chose to love for the rest of your life a very happy man."

Yukari nodded her head with a small amount of red hue on her cheeks. When Katsumi looked at Minato standing beside her. Yukari raised her hands to her face. Her fingers ghosting across her cheeks, her blue eyes smoldered with love and affection. Yukari looked over her right shoulder staring at Minato's oblivious visage talking with Katsumi. Her smile widen when looking at her onii-sama.

The two adults embraced for the final time releasing each other and backing away. Minato smiled at Katsumi and said.

"I'll come back this Sunday so don't tell your daughters about my visit. I want to see Kyou become flustered when she's not expecting me to be there. I'll come by more often like I promised. Thank you again for the bread and desserts."

"You've done more for us than we could have asked for, Minato-kun. It's no loss of business on our end if it's for the person, who saved us and my grandfather's dream. You have kept his dream alive for years to come, Minato-kun. That's payment enough. We'll see you sunday."

He nodded and turned his head around him meeting the stares of his escort and little sister. The quintet made it to the unlocked gate leading onto the streets when Katsumi stopped the group of five. Minato turned his body slightly and looked over his right shoulder back at Katsumi. Her eyes held joy in them.

"I want at least five grandchildren. You can have more if you want, Minato-kun. Your female entourage there should be able to have at least three babies each. But my limit is five, understand?"

His three Sekirei especially Uzume blushed heavily under the implication of their limits in terms of their pregnancy and because it will be Minato's children they will someday have growing in their wombs. They each looked in various directions with their faces becoming deeper shades of red. Minato spared the three embarrassed Sekireis an amused glance. He turned his gaze to look back at the smiling Katsumi, her eyes were closed and her visage spoke victory. His simple and only response was a sarcastic and playful.

"Yes, kaa-san."

xox

For the remainder of today on every news channel were talking about MBI's sudden blockade of the city. Every exit and entrance and every road were closed and lockdown by MBI's private army setting up checkpoints with these changes and development had the populace in a frenzy. While there have been no protests, or violence as of yet with the private army patrolling the streets. The people weren't supportive about being sealed off from the rest of the world.

Ten minutes after the final blockade in the south was built. Minaka himself addressed the distraught and befuddled people of his city, as he likes to refer to them. He basically said without outright saying it to the people's faces was to remain quiet and behave, or get lost. Minaka was a shrewd individual that much is certain, he knew how to read a person's body language and gauge what they were feeling then using this to speak to them without actually saying the words he wanted to say. To also look someone in their eyes and intimidate them without using any fighting words, or expressing emotions on his visage.

This trait Minato can admit he respects from his father, Minaka. Because he also uses similar methods to get what he wants and to terrify his enemies. Whether he's Minato, or Spectre, the bounty hunter.

After addressing his people Minaka reassured everyone that the blockade and sealing of the city was merely a precaution and they will be lifted later. He didn't specify on a date, but Minato understood he wasn't serious about removing his troops from their stations protecting the borders. Everyone living inside Shinto Teito were trapped like rats until Minaka has had his fun simply put.

Most of the population living in the city were in agreement with this, or they were too frighten about voicing their concerns given MBI has its private army. The fear Minaka instills on the people by deploying a couple hundred troops into a civilian populated area is a brutal and efficient strategy. People won't voice their displeasure of your methods when you have an army standing before you and them.

Then there was the small margin of people about two thousand, who preferred not living under someone else's watch. Grabbing what they could being only the essentials and the clothes on their backs. People started to leave the capital jumping into their vehicle of choice and drove to the nearest checkpoint leading out of the city. News channels covered the long waits and lines at the various checkpoints of people wanting to leave the city.

Needing to show credentials, birth certificate, drivers license. Anything that defined the person they say they were must be ready when driving up to the gate. The soldiers guarding these checkpoints took their job seriously. Shouldering loaded assault weapons, flashlights for checking every inch of the car, or vehicle, and using dogs to sniff around as people waited in line.

Others were still in the process of leaving, gathering their belongings and packing suitcases to leave forever. A number of houses, apartments, and estates have gone up for sale, and have been sold by the previous owners. Moving trucks were seen on every corner in the city and in the suburbs outside Raven Tower. This lockdown has everyone fleeing the capital in terror and fear to remove themselves from the combat and death that will take place here shortly. None were aware that was the exact reason for their departure.

When Minato, Yukari, and his three escort returned back to the tower, bags in hand. They received help with bringing up the rest of the groceries from the bodyguards watching the tower from outside. Kusano ran up her onii-sama and tearfully embraced him. Calming the cute blond he looked at the TV talking about the blockade of the city and the panic it was causing for the majority living here.

Each of his Sekireis had frowns on their faces looking at him standing behind the sofa. Ichika walked over to Minato next asking him what was happening. Minato told them with a frown and regret in his voice how sorry he was for dragging them into his mess. Minato spent the rest of the early afternoon explaining to Chifuyu, Tabane, Ichika, and Houki about the Sekirei Plan and the stages that will now be taking place.

After explaining the nature of the Sekirei Plan to his friends. Minato reassured them and his Sekireis not to worry. Telling them with a smile on his face he was already prepared for this day and the Plan all together. Saying how he will bring a swift end to everything before they can begin. The same words he told Yukari and his Sekireis a month ago.

Naturally Yukari and his friends believed him. Minato has not once broken a promise in the past, and his confidence he exuded helped for them to place their faith and trust in him. His Sekireis were obligated to trust in his judgment because he was their Ashikabi. However, like Yukari, Chifuyu, Tabane, Ichika, and Houki. In the two months they have known him, some even longer could say without regret and hesitance they trusted Minato, even if he wasn't their Ashikabi. They too will trust him and rely on him to keep his promise.

With calming down the storm of emotions in his house. Minato suggested they forget about the world outside the windows and live their lives in the safety, and unchanging world inside Raven Tower. His suggestion paid off in distracting and helping everyone forget the start of the Sekirei Plan.

Asking for assistances for putting away the groceries he, Yukari, Akitsu, Tsukiumi, and Uzume brought up. The latter four, Ichika, Houki, the lighting twins, Kusano, and Shiina lend a hand with putting every box of food and bag they could get their hands on. Because his Sekireis possessed large appetites and the addition of Chifuyu, Tabane, Ichika, and Houki living under the same roof now. Bringing the total to almost twenty mouths to feed. Both Minato and Yukari were careful with their selection and the size of their cart when at the supermarket. Minato was thinking about going to the supermarket to resupply every month instead of every two months. He's was also contemplating on asking Miya what her strategy is when at the supermarket. Cross referencing was his valid argument when his thoughts drifted towards the lavenderette landlady of Izumo.

With the last of the groceries put away he got started on cooking dinner seeing how they had desserts back at the bakery for lunch, and the others at the penthouse skipped on lunch waiting for him, Yukari, and his three Sekireis to return. He wasn't alone with the cooking receiving help from Ichika, Yume, and the twins to assist him. Ichika alone has been cooking his and Chifuyu's meals for years, having his help was more than an entire kitchen of chefs and staffs working at a popular restaurant worth.

His two Sekireis were good choices too. Yume knew how to cook from her training as leader of the Discipline Squad. The twins confessed they were self-taught in cooking. Telling Minato they would always watch cooking channels and videos among their other programming back at MBI. Hikari and Hibiki confessed their skills were decent, of course the twins were being modest because they were their own judges and critics.

So Minato gave them a task of making a dish they're familiar with and cook it for him alone. He will critique the dish and give his honest opinion. Thus the next hour was spent with five people cooking a buffet and feast befitting a king. How ironic...

The seating arrangements changed from this morning with the addition of Uzume and because it will be two days until the new dining table will be finished. Until it arrives changes will be done regularly to where everyone will sit whether it's at the table, or around the kitchen. With one exception being the living room on the couches and sofas.

For tonight's dinner the seating as followed starting on Minato's left side. Sitting to his left is Tabane happily chowing down on the rice balls made by Minato and Ichika. She was also ecstatic to be sitting next to the person she loves. Sitting beside her was Musubi, then Karasuba, then Yahan, and sitting at the end of the table facing Minato is Kazehana. Continuing from Kazehana's left sat Chifuyu, Houki, Ichika, and lastly was Yukari at her permanent spot at her onii-sama's right side.

Sitting at the counter overlooking the kitchen are the lighting twins, Kusano, Shiina, and Yomi. And finally, forced to sit in the living room with one exception coming from Akitsu sitting by her lonesome at the indoor bar. She wanted to be closer to Minato, or at the very least look at the back of his head. Her seat at the bar provided her this pleasure. Back on the sofas are Yume, Tsukiumi, and Uzume. The last of Minato's Sekireis scattered throughout the living area.

The house of nineteen enjoyed a delicious dinner of varied assortments of foods ranging to meals from home like sushi, rice balls, chicken and beef paired with homemade teriyaki sauce, light breaded sesame chicken going together with a plate of steamed tempura and vegetables.

From China the dishes are chow mein, steamed white rice, steamed vegetables not deep fried in oil. For meats there are chicken, beef, and steak available to take. They came in two options of coming plain, or tossed in different sauces and rubs to give them an exotic taste.

The final few plates were oceanic inspired coming from the Pacific Ocean. Australian / Hawaii to be precise. Grilled chicken by itself and paired together with red and yellow bell peppers, red onions, and pineapples to make shish kabobs. Noodles and chicken drizzled under teriyaki sauce, and a yellow-tail tuna salad mixed together with tomatoes, grilled corn, cucumbers, and lime juice giving it a citrus flavor.

As promised earlier, Hikari's and Hibiki's dish was given to Minato for him to critique. Their plate was a different assortment of sushi most of them tuna. But each individual sushi on their plate drizzled with soy sauce and mayo stuck out in his eyes when examining the nine pieces of rice and fish. Minato grabbed a sushi roll wrapped in seaweed in the center of the white sticky rice was slices of avocado, the tuna they used, cucumbers, and a drop of hot sauce they found sitting in the pantry.

It was no contest. Eating the roll of sushi after carefully savoring the mild kick of the hot sauce, to the tangy taste of mayo the twins added inside the tuna. Minato loved their plate of sushi and quickly enjoying the rest on his plate, giving the twins his stamp of approval and a kiss on their cheeks. Minato then thanked the twins for their cooking and asked to sample their other cuisines. Hikari and Hibiki gave a simple nod. Their blushes covering their entire face leaving them flustered at his compliments.

When dinner ended the night was still very young. To past the time after cleaning up the empty plates and used bowls and pans. Kazehana mentioned games to play between everyone, and Kusano and Musubi decided they wanted to watch TV with their Ashikabi. Everyone was undecided on what to do when Minato offered to watch television with those who wanted to TV with him. In an hour he'll join on the next game with those who wanted to play games.

He could have satisfied everyone with creating a clone to take one of his spots. But Minato didn't want to use clones just to create the illusion he was there sitting with the group he didn't choose first. He in person wanted to give equal and fair attention to both his childhood friends and Sekireis.

So for the first hour starting at 8PM he watched cartoons, to sitcoms, and reality game shows together with Yukari, Akitsu, Yume, Tsukiumi, the twins, Yomi, Yahan, Musubi, Shiina, and Kusano. The latter two were lying against his shoulders falling asleep there. Yukari sat on the adjacent sofa to the right watching her onii-sama along with watching TV. The couch she was sitting on had its back to the front door. Minato's other Sekireis smiled at their two youngest sleeping close to him.

An hour later he joined Kazehana, Karasuba, Uzume, Chifuyu, Tabane, and Houki sitting at the dinner table. They played a boardgame from his youth he recalled playing twice and never touched again. When they finished a round he joined next and was defeated by Tabane winning four games in a row in the last hour. Their fun continued for another hour leading into the eleven 'o clock hour. During which they played other games like Monopoly, Uno the card game, and Pictionary.

Everyone was competitive despite there being no bets, or gambles involve, and no prizes to be won. Minato was competitive by nature, wanting to be victorious over his enemies and see them broken and defeated. Chifuyu was similar in this mindset but her reason branched to defeating Tabane as payback. The third member of their group was blessed with abnormal luck that she didn't need to lift a finger to win a round, or whatever game they happened to be playing that time.

Houki sort of felt out of place between the three adults, but she pulled her weight to stay relevant. Managing to eliminate her older sister and Kazehana both during a round of Uno. The second woman had been drinking sake and was intoxicated so there could have been the case of Kazehana handing Houki her victory. Karasuba won her own shares of victories throughout the night, but called it quits when they switched over to pictionary. Not wanting to take part in any games that made her look and sound like a fool for others amusements, while Uzume followed Kazehana in drinking together with her. Since their night of games started she had been calling Kazehana, 'Nee-san ' a suffix she always referred the wind mistress as since she was little.

Calling it a night after their last game of pictionary, Minato and Chifuyu won against the tag-team of Kazehana and Uzume, the Shinonono sisters left before the game to take a late shower and then go to bed. After their fun ended with happy smiles and words of good sportsmanship, they worked to clean up their mess and put away the boardgames and cards from the previous hour.

Minato ushered Chifuyu to use the shower herself before bed. Letting her know he will take one in his room. Walking over to the living area he called his Sekireis on the couches to head off to bed. He carried them one at a time the Sekirei that had already fallen asleep, Shiina and Kusano were first and the lighting twins having fallen asleep against each other were next.

Once he had finished with tucking-in his slumbering Sekireis, he individually visited and wished good night to those still awake and preparing to go to bed. Giving them each a kiss on the lips, Minato then went to Yukari's room and finding her in her bed, asleep. Not wanting to wake her up he brushed aside her hair from her forehead and laid a sweet kiss there. He left the room with a smile watching her sleep peacefully.

Going to his bedroom, some would even call it the master bedroom. Minato stripped out of his suit and tie, and got into the shower to clean himself off from today's sweat and smell from being outside. When he finished he walked over to his walk-in closet adjacent to the bathroom. Flipping the on switch he went through his wardrobe of suits, dress shirts of various colors, pants, jeans, and slacks. Different colored ties, shirts, socks, and ten pairs of shoes. Five being for casual wear and five to go with his suits. Minato chose something a little different from his usual attire of suits and his infamous hooded trenchcoat.

Pulling over the right sleeve of his man Kimono. He moved his hands down to the golden-colored sash around his waist keeping the kimono together. Liking how it was secured tightly around his waist he walked to the left corner of the closet and slipped on a comfortable pair of wooden sandals for his feet. Standing in front of the full-length mirror build into the wall between the left section of the closet holding his shirts and other clothing for his torso, and the right section was for his pants. Dividing the two halves between it.

The mirror was visible from outside the closet being the first thing seen when opening the closet door. Minato's Kimono is white and purple with purple accents on the left sleeve and licking the bottom half of the Kimono. Underneath this he wears a orange-red Kimono shirt.

Checking himself over one final time he gave a chuckle and turned around to leave, turning off the closet lights and closing the door behind him. Leaving his bedroom after quietly closing the door to not alarm anyone of his presence. Minato silently stalked the hallways of his penthouse suite with grace and stealth of a wolf living in the unforgiving snowy tundra.

His destination was his office near the end of the hall. He wanted to double-check his work stored on his desktop and check his company's stock and global standings. The engineering expo ended a day ago so he wanted to see what changed, and if there were any changes at all. Raven Incorporated have been riding high for three years coming on four in October. Even should Minato and his company trip and fall, it will only be temporarily. His empire will never fall and be subjugated.

Arriving at the door outside his office, he grasped firmly on the knob on the right door and pushed it opened. The right door swung inward with a slight creak, he will need to remind himself to deal with that squeak in the morning. Closing the door behind him it didn't give a squeak like before. Turning his head around away from the door he immediately spotted the back of Chifuyu standing behind his desk at the end of the room. Her arms were crossed over her chest, and she was currently looking out the windows. Looking out into the dimly lit suburban housing outside the tower, to the bright glow and lively city of Shinto Teito seen in the distance.

Because it was summer and the heat in Japan was always warm every year. Chifuyu's attire and clothes are a sleeveless black top that stopped above her bellybutton exposing her stomach. Over her black top she wears a collared long-sleeved double breasted white shirt, the shirt was left opened showing some cleavage, and the ends of the shirt was wrapped in a knot above her stomach. Comfortable black jeans hugged her hips, and to finish her look she had on black shin-length socks and short heels gray in color.

Looking over her right shoulder back at him. She gave Minato a smirk of her own and turned away staring back out the window.

"Any reason for the stealth and stalking around? Still have secrets to hide do you, Minato?" His sandals made a noise when he walked around his desk. Standing in front of his office windows, and standing next to Chifuyu. Minato chuckled softly hearing the accusation in Chifuyu's tone. She was still suspicion of him.

"It's my house, I can do what I please. But no, I didn't want to wake the girls up, and I wanted to check my company's stocks before going to bed." He finished staring out into the night. The quiet suburbs outside granted a calm peace Minato preferred over the bustling and rambunctious life of the city he and Chifuyu could hear from his office. "So might I ask why you're still awake, and in my office no less? Couldn't sleep?"

Minato turned his head slightly staring down at Chifuyu. Her height was smaller than him as she only reached his neckline at 168 cm in length compared to his 187 cm. She looked away bashfully, a rosy blush overtaking her features at his amused and impatience stare. Gathering herself she opened her mouth to speak to him.

"I just needed a quiet place to think and your office is most private room in your home. Except I was not counting on that you'll still be walking around and coming here. Wearing a Kimono... this must be a first time I've seen you wearing one in such a long time?" She commented with a crude smile looking him over and his Kimono, Chifuyu admitted to herself he looked handsome in one.

Looking down his form with an appreciated eye, he had a smirk on his lips looking himself over, placing his right hand on his waist over the golden sash. Minato gave two pats to his stomach, his palm gliding along the silk fabric securing his Kimono tightly on his body.

"I have an eye for tradition, I haven't forgotten where I come from. If my memory remembers correctly you and Tabane were gorgeous in those Kimonos you wore to the Shinonono's Summer festival when we were nine." Minato continued to himself recalling past memories of his youth with Chifuyu, and Tabane. How every summer they and their younger siblings would spend at the Shinonono's yearly summer festival playing the games, enjoying the delicious food, and watching the firework show at the end of the festival at their secret spot with a perfect view to watch said fireworks.

Minato continued off-handily looking in the opposite direction, ignoring Chifuyu and the state of embarrassment he was putting her in. Her right eyebrow is seen twitching behind her fringe of black hair falling covering her forehead. She was tapping two fingers against her left forearm, and a rapidly growing red blush overtaking her visage listening to her friend (Minato) reminisce about their childhood together with Tabane.

"Hmm... Did I say something to offended you? You look angry about something." Minato said faking ignorance and pretending he was unaware of having embarrassed Chifuyu with his reminder of their youth. Hiding his amused smirk behind a false smile of incredulity.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." Chifuyu's reply was quick and unconvincing, well to Minato it was. Her head was turned in the opposite direction effectively giving him the cold shoulder.

Knowing he won't get any farther with his fun at her expense. Minato chose to halt his attics and return to his and Chifuyu's earlier discussion about her being in his office. Recalling she required a private place to collect her thoughts but why is the question he couldn't say.

"Fun and teasing aside, for now... why did you need a private place to think? Is your room not secured enough, or because you're afraid someone might be eavesdropping and hear something you'd preferred stayed a secret?"

Listening to Minato changing the topic back to her being in his office alone before his arrival. Chifuyu slowly looked in his direction looking at Minato's curious expression from the corners of her eyes. Chifuyu stared into his eyes for a solid twenty seconds before opening her lips and answering his question. Her arms still crossed over her chest and her body standing straight facing the window in a rigid and ready posture.

"Minato... we've known each other since grade school. We officially met and became friends in our third year, you were already friends with Tabane and through her, you and I met each other and became familiar with one another, where we both could hold a conversation with each other. Do you still remember the promise I made you swear to keep concerning the night of Madoka's death?" She answered his question with a question of her own.

Stopping briefly to look through his thoughts and think about his next words carefully. His mind subconsciously went to Madoka staying at the villa just outside the city to the west. Although he promised the night before he would stop lying to Chifuyu and his friend's faces. He couldn't reveal to Chifuyu about Madoka being alive and was under his protection at his villa.

He was going to despise the day when Madoka reveals her status among the living to Chifuyu and Ichika. While he was intentionally lying straight to Chifuyu's face about her little sister being alive. He would shoulder the hate and betrayal to protect Madoka. Regardless of what he has to lose to uphold his promise to her.

"I do... You blamed yourself for not stopping the kidnappers and for you having a hand in killing her, when you had no real hand in causing that car to spin out like it did. You saw her burned and marred corpse you believed you killed her." Minato stopped to gauge Chifuyu's reaction along with her emotions at his reminisces of that faithful night. He gave a sullen sigh, his features mimicking a depressed and tired visage. "It took myself and Tabane two full months to get you to stop blaming yourself for something that wasn't your fault. Why bring this up so suddenly?"

"Because hearing the conviction and truth in your voice when you swore you'd never tell another soul, especially Ichika about that night. It had me thinking about how you had never done any of us wrong, nor can you ever hurt us in any way. But last night and the revelation that you're Spectre before all your secrets came out at once. I just wanted to think about every secret I told you to keep, and vice versa, and see if you kept those secrets, or you were lying to us since we were kids."

Minato had no words for a rebuttal, he was silent hearing Chifuyu's truthful claims about his reliability, now perhaps less with his past lives and secrets he has kept hidden from their knowledge for years. Shaking his head in a negative manner Minato chuckled, but this chuckle lacked humor. Left was a emotionless and sarcastic laughter that explained how Minato truly felt right this moment listening to Chifuyu's criticism. He honestly felt like scum right now standing next to her. Because he had no counter, or other means to salvage his lost dignity and ruined reputation among his oldest friends.

"...I know... it will take time before you and the others can learn to trust me again. I won't attempt to make excuses because I have none to use, and I will not resort to doing so. I know with me keeping these secrets from you has hurt my credibility with you four, and maybe between some of my Sekireis too. But I will restore my image and trust in your eyes so you can continue to rely on me. All I ask is that you, Chifuyu give me a chance to prove myself. To show you that I'm serious about this. Just give me a chance, is all ask?"

Halting his long monologue telling Chifuyu his seriousness to reforming himself in their eyes and returning in a positive light. Minato had turned his body to face Chifuyu and was standing in front of the quiet raven haired, amber eyed woman. His left arm was framing and caressing hers (Chifuyu's) right cheek. His thumb slowly ran along her smooth skin.

The two childhood friends held this close and intimate position for some time, neither one of them said anything, or tried to move away. The pair simply enjoying their closeness with each other that they were close to kissing. Three minutes passed and Chifuyu pulled herself away from Minato's hand abruptly. Minato, not surprised by his friend's rude and quick withdrawn gave the back of Chifuyu's head an amused smirk.

Needing no answer to be vocally said from Chifuyu's lips. He looked in the opposite direction of his office at the wall where the secret door to the second bedroom was located. He only slept in the room during those long nights, and when he didn't have the strength to make it back to his own bedroom down the hall. With a smile overlapping on his features. Minato changed their discussion towards something else more light hearted.

"Since we're remembering about our childhoods. Remember during our first year at high school, how you and Tabane gave me Valentine chocolate for Valentine's day? You both were, and probably still are horrible cooks since your lack of cooking skills transferred to the chocolates you made and gave to me. I can't recall their tastes but I do remember I was absent the following day because of it."

"Tch... just be glad I even gave you chocolate in the first place, ungrateful bastard. Ichika was prepared to make you your chocolates for me to give to you and say I was the one who made them. But I didn't want his pity so I made the chocolates myself, and look where that got me?"

"Regardless of how they turned out in the end, and let's also ignore the slight food poisoning I got from eating Tabane's chocolate. I was very grateful to you both for considering giving me chocolates when I didn't ask, or expected you to make me any. I returned the favor to you both on White day. Yukari helped me make those cookies, even when I was tempted to eating them all myself and sharing none of them with you two."

"Heh heh. You glutton." Chifuyu fired back looking passed her left shoulder back at Minato. The male CEO chuckled shaking his head. She wasn't far off with her assumption after all.

"I do love my snickerdoodle cookies and cinnamon rolls. It's nearly impossible to share these two desserts with anyone, especially if baa-chan makes them. Yukari has picked up on her secret recipe that she can make them almost identical to hers. Borrowing your previous words... just be glad I even gave you something for White day in the first place."

Minato said in a sardonic tone, full of sarcasm to Chifuyu. He wasn't lying about these two particular sweets. He will need to remind his Sekireis when Yukari gets to baking these two sweets in the near future that they are forever off-limits to them.

His office grew lively at both male and female laughter bouncing off the walls in the darken room. Both Minato and Chifuyu shared a friendly, apathetic chuckle in the dark. They didn't hear the office doors opening as the duo were distracted by laughter. A voice started to giggle mirthfully, which was drowned out by Minato's and Chifuyu's chuckling.

"Aha! So this is where you two were hiding~! Chi-chan, you fox... you were waiting for Mina-kun to show up because you wanted to confess your feelings to him in private. And maybe take him back to your room that way he can take your virginity and submit yourself to him completely, huh~? How bold, Chi-chan. I would have never thought you were so cynical to admitting your desires..."

On que after Tabane ended her sentences, the two friends jumped back in surprise as if they were drenched in icy cold water in the middle of the night. They both shivered in astonishment from the shock gliding across their backs, Chifuyu looked towards the door in a mild blush and a startled opened mouth frown. Minato also looked at the door, a small blush on his cheeks, his narrowed gaze looked annoyed, and his lips were set into a thin line from the interruption.

Standing inside the room with their backs facing the visible, dimly lit hallway from both doors being wide open. Tabane had her hands on her hips, a victorious eye-smile staring up at the ceiling. Her little sister, Houki stood behind her. Her nervous and flustered expression on her face was seen behind Tabane's left shoulder and flowing purple hair. Houki was the polar opposite to Tabane's infectious and exuberant nature under Minato and Chifuyu perplexed gaze. Minato, however, looked at the sisters with awe and lust brewing in his eyes at their sensual attire. His pants becoming tighter from visualizing their naked bodies beneath their clothes.

In the middle of the night, while everyone from his little sister and his Sekireis were fast asleep. Both Tabane and Houki quietly walked to his office dressed in sultry and risque outfits, the latter was for Houki from the outfit Tabane no doubt tricked her into wearing before coming over here.

Tabane's was a simple, but always effective choice of attire. Wearing one of Minato's dress shirts she borrowed from his closet. It was the same shade of light blue to that of her dress, with the top two buttons undone giving a peek of her cleavage. Black lace panties faintly similar to the ones she wore of their first night together. Except these were missing the white cotton rabbit's tail behind them, and her mechanical rabbit ears twitched on top of her head.

However, Houki's attire left Minato in slacked-jawed awe, much to his hidden embarrassment. Chifuyu too was surprised at the sisters entrance and risque clothing they were wearing, which left very little to the imagination. She looked at Tabane first then choosing to ignore her entirely. Her perplexed gaze fell onto Houki's form and the outfit she was wearing. Her confusion switched to jealously looking at girl younger than her and the grasps she had on Minato standing beside her.

Houki had her long dark violet hair, normally seen to always be in a ponytail. Tonight, however, this wasn't the case, as her gorgeously long hair reached pass her supple, but toned ass and stopping at her knees. Her curtain of dark violet hair was longer and looked smoother than Tabane's own long purple hair. It must be a chore and a tiring effort to keep the shine and sheen he could see under the moonlight looming behind him and Chifuyu. (Her description written on the wikia says her hair is light brown. Well I'm going off what my eyes see, and keeping it there.)

Her dark blue eyes held insecurity in them looking around the office anxiously. Her right arm snaked below her breasts to cover her exposed stomach and bellybutton from his gaze, but this only served to push up her already straining breasts against the corset she was wearing, which was barely keeping them from popping out for everyone to see. On her body she is wearing a tight white corset with lavender ribbons lining the upper cups of her breasts, around her waist like a tutu, and above her stockings. White panties with a lavender garter belt secured around her hips and is connected to her white stockings. Her stomach and bellybutton can be seen behind the thin, visible gray material in the middle of the corset.

First Tabane surprised Minato with her sultry and sexy rabbit cosplay lingerie in America. Now a month after the events of him taking Tabane's virginity. History repeats itself a second time, this time it is Houki, who has him speechless with her risque outfit. It looked tight on her body, which served to bring out her curves, legs, hips, and large breasts. She even displayed the same look of anxiety her older sister gave him in his hotel back in America.

Minato's heart clenched behind his chest seeing Houki's anxiety and embarrassed stare looking everyone in his office but at him. Tabane opened her eyes showing her childhood friends and her little sister the joy and seductive gleam behind her purple orbs.

"Hmm, hmm." Tabane uttered nodding her head twice. Opening her eyes again after closing them when humming. She looked at the startled, and shocked eyes of her oldest friends. "Chi-chan, I didn't count for you to already be waiting for Mina-kun this late in the night. Houki-chan and I left the game early 'cause we were getting ready to ambush Mina-kun in his office and have a threesome with him. But seeing how you're already here, then why don't you join us and make it a foursome? Afterall... why else would you be waiting for Mina-kun to show up, hmm~?"

Chifuyu's face lit up at Tabane's honest offer of inviting her to join her and her little sister in having sex with Minato making it a foursome. Minato turned his head slightly to the right gazing at Chifuyu's reddening face and embarrassed visage. It wasn't the same troubled look Houki was making. Chifuyu's showed a rather feminine and cute side she rarely shows. Minato thought it was cute and was hoping she'd show it more often. At least to him when they're alone.

Choosing to be the voice of reason, that also meant putting a stop to Tabane's shenanigans. While Minato would want nothing more than to lay with the three women standing in front of him he's known for so long. He could also see that Chifuyu and Houki were being persuaded by Tabane to take part, not of their own accord. When he does takes Chifuyu's purity he wants the raven-haired Orimura to come to him of her own free will. The same can be said for Houki but that is ultimately her choice.

"Tabane-chan... enough of this. You're embarrassing Chifuyu that once she regains her sanity, she will make you regret it. As for Houki-chan, she herself doesn't look like she wants to be here, nevermind wearing that corset you pressured her into wearing. Let's forget about this and go back to bed? I can check the company's stocks in the morning."

Minato finished speaking, unaware of the smirk on Tabane's lips growing underneath his gazes. Closing her eyes, her exuberant smile permanent on her cheery visage walking closer to Minato. She took a single step every time getting closer to him. Her smile staying firmly on her face.

"You don't see it, do you, Mina-kun? Because you care so much about me, Chi-chan, Ikkun, and Houki-chan is the first thing you think of is our safety and our feelings." Reaching him now standing in front of her friend, Minato. Tabane stood on her toes, mischief can be seen in her eyes and staring into Minato's narrowed and confused storm-gray ones. "Let me enlighten you on a little secret between us sisters... this was all Houki-chan's idea."

Tabane sensually whispered this information in Minato's right ear. She took it a step forward seeing him shiver at her voice, she bit down on the ear lobe, suckling on it tenderling getting a second reaction from the heartless "Demon King".

Opening his eyes fixing them to a narrowed stare. His gaze fell on Houki's dark blue eyes staring back at him. While Houki was still horribly embarrassed about being here. Her dark blue orbs shimmered with love towards the single person she has always looked up to. They smoldered with passion and love fixated on only Minato staring back at Houki in awe.

She didn't stop there. Tabane wrapped her hands around Minato's left arm, where his data paired glove was locked firmly on his forearm. Typing a separate sequence of numbers into the device removed the cloak around his right arm leaving the cybernetic arm visible to the three females. Continuing with her silence Tabane gently grasped the cybernetic hand entwining her fingers together with Minato's surprisingly warm fingers. They were not cold like she figured they would have been.

"And Chi-chan loves you very much, Mina-kun. She just has a hard time expressing her real emotions. While we're thankful to you for always caring for us each and everyday. But sometimes you fail to read the room and make your judgment from what you're already aware about us. Look..."

Minato and Tabane looked to their right together and finding Chifuyu stopping her free hand that was close to her stomach, near the knot of her white collared shirt. She looked back at her two childhood friends indignantly.

"D-Don't immediately assume and believe what Tabane is saying Minato. I-I'm only doing this to keep Tabane in line not from what she said about me. Plus you're the only man I'm willing to give my virginity too. T-that is all." She shouted indignantly and grasping her left forearm with her right hand, stopping herself from removing her white shirt again. This may be what she said to Minato and Tabane, but secretly Chifuyu wanted this to happen between her and Minato. Like she just said Minato is the only man she sees herself ever being with romantically and giving her purity to.

Still staring at Chifuyu's weakening will to stop herself from stripping out of her clothes. Minato was silent and going over what he has seen and heard from Tabane's lips discussing the true emotions and feelings of his two friends he believed he was protecting from Tabane's antics. Except he was proven wrong in his assumptions Tabane called him out on, and showed him that both Chifuyu and Houki are willing and want to take the next step in their relationship with him.

Smiling sultry and beautifully at Minato. Tabane grasped his cybernetic right arm again in her hands. She brought it close to her chest, opening the palm she placed it over her left breast, letting out a moan with Minato squeezing the globe of flesh in his hand. Tabane continued releasing soft and sultry moans from Minato playing with her breasts. He was conscious with his cybernetic hand generously squeezing and molding the tit in his hand.

"Aha~. Haa... M-Mina-kun~, Ah!" Tabane screamed with delight and pleasure from her friend's groping of her tits. Minato's hand had moved to her neglected right breast, and doing the same to that tit he ignored previously.

Tabane continued with her moans and squeals of pleasure at Minato's playing of her breasts. A loud moan escaped her lips after his thumb swept across the nipple and circled around the areola of her right breast over the dress shirt she was wearing. Minato hid his smirk behind a feral grin looking at Tabane's blissful visage drowning in pleasure and letting out moan after moan. From just his hand alone might he add.

His grin looked similar to wolves after cornering their catch and deciding among their pack on who gets the kill.

"Tabane~. Did you forget again that I don't like being corrected? I know of my shortcomings, and I don't need to be reminded of them by you." His grin looked sinister and frightening, with his eyes glowing golden-red suddenly and then returning to their usual playful storm-gray. He pressed his index finger on Tabane's right nipple eliciting a surprised moan with her eyes widening from the action.

"M-M-Mina-kun! Don't stop! I'm so close... please don't stop. More! More!" Were the chants she began to scream out nearing her first orgasm. Soon enough Tabane's body locked up with her reaching her climax. The front part of her body slumped forward and falling into Minato's chest, he wordlessly wrapped his cybernetic arm around her waist holding her body closely to him.

To help her reach ecstasy, Minato had moved his same hand fondling Tabane's breasts and palm her glistering mound. A second after doing so Tabane burst staining her soaked black panties and around her thighs. Her body locked up afterwards leading to hers and Minato's current position. Giving a smile to Tabane, his eyes fixated on her luscious and exotic purple hair, her mechanical rabbit ears opening and closing on top of the scientist's head. Almost as they were acting similar to Tabane breathless and blissful state.

Hearing movement over his right shoulder where Chifuyu was seen standing in embarrassment. Turning his head to where he last saw Chifuyu, Minato raised an eyebrow in astonishment finding his second childhood friend, Chifuyu had stripped herself of her clothing. Left only in her underwear being a black lace bra and lace panty set same color as her bra. The bra cups accentuated her firm and soft C-cups contrasted to Tabane's more voluminous and elastic breasts but were just as soft, and the lace added to Chifuyu's womanly and curvaceous figure making her appear more sexy. Her panties hugged her hips framing her tight and firm ass from all of her past athletic training during their high school years.

Like Tabane on her first time, and Houki tonight. Chifuyu womanly figure and risque underwear left Minato wanting to see more from his stoic and reserved childhood friend. While he was speechless having no use of his tongue from staring at Chifuyu. Minato understood that she was doing all this, stripping herself in front of him showing her demure and self-conscious side because she wants him. Chifuyu wishes to go through with Tabane's foursome idea because she wants him entirely.

Minato's gaze soften turning to concern as Chifuyu drops her clothing onto the ground at her side. Her amber eyes glistening with slight insecurity and embarrassment feeling his eyes on her body.

"Chifuyu... are you sure? I can wait until you're completely ready to give yourself fully. It doesn't have to be tonight." Minato said as a warning. He knew Chifuyu well enough that she will always go through with her decision no matter what he says to convince her otherwise. He just needed to hear it from her own lips to be certain.

"H-Hmm... I-I'm okay. I know I'm horrible at showing my emotions and telling the people I care about of my feelings. However, I want this. I don't care if I have to share you with Tabane, her little sister, or those other women you're attached to now. I never told you this but you're the only man I can see having a future with, and giving all my first times to. Please... take me, Minato."

Tabane started to stir in his arm secured around her slim waist. Minato turned his head forward to meet Tabane's lips kissing him gently. The kiss was quick, but still showed him the love she has for him behind it. Removing her lips from his, she kissed both of Minato's cheeks and the top of his nose. When she finished she pulled her head back looking deeply into Minato's passive and quiet steel-gray orbs.

"See, I was telling you the true that Chi-chan and Houki-chan want this, just as much as I want you too. You have done it with most of the other girls in your harem so it's only fair you give us equal attention and spoiling." The rabbit scientist started to grind herself on Minato's harden pecs and muscular chest. Tabane began to let out quiet moans with her continuous grinding on Minato. He decided to lend a hand by groping her equally firm ass, however; Tabane's ass was more soft and squishing compared to Chifuyu's.

"Heh heh. Very well, my cute little rabbit." Minato said with a husk growing aroused from Tabane grinding her supple and voluptuous body against him. A large bulge could be seen pinching a tent through his Kimono. Tabane let out a lustful groan and increased her grinding on his clothe phallus.

His eyes firmly on Tabane's pleasured and intoxicating facial features. Her rabbit ears started to twitch rapidly on top of her head, as if they were going through a seizure. Tabane's eyes were closed but the expression on her face showed her happiness and pleased smile from Minato's groping her ass. The pair were oblivious to the world around them and the two other bodies in the room with them. Chifuyu snuck up behind Minato putting a hand on his shoulder and using her other hand to frame his face garnering his attention to her.

He turned his head looking over the shoulder where Chifuyu's head was. She smiled first then smirked and brought her head closer to his and their lips met for their second kiss. Minato didn't cease, or slowed down his kneading of Tabane's full and plump rear-end, getting another set of hoarse moans from the woman he was eagerly groping, while multi-tasking in savoring the lips and taste of Chifuyu's mouth.

The three adults and childhood friends of over twenty years stayed as close to each other as possible. Spit, suction, pleasured moaning, surprised groans, and sweat was seen and heard coming from the group ignoring everything except for the pleasure they were feeling and giving to one another. Houki watched the hot, but loving scene in front of her between her older sister, her childhood friend's older sister, and Yukari's older brother lost in pleasuring themselves repeatedly.

Her eyes and stare were locked on the sweaty, lewd, and muscular bodies of the three people she knew intimately and respected highly enjoy each others bodies. Her dark blue eyes glimmered behind her pupils watching Minato kiss and suck on Chifuyu's tongue, and his hand never stopping with groping Tabane's ass either.

Ending the kiss, Minato and Chifuyu pulled their heads away, out of breath and flustered after the heated and satisfying kiss they shared together. His right hand stopped kneading Tabane's rear-end getting a disappointed sigh from her. His fingers dug into her ass sinking into her flesh causing a loving sigh to leave Tabane's lips. Her previous disappointment was missing from her blissful and sleepy features.

Gray and amber orbs looked deeply into each other smoldering with different emotions, and love could be seen swimming in their colorful eyes staring passionately at each other. Minato and Chifuyu moved their heads forward for another kiss, their lips meeting together with passion and love for their partner they were kissing. Pulling away again Minato turned his head back to Tabane catching her looking at him a cute look, begging for him to kiss her. He gave an audible and friendly chuckle before kissing Tabane as well. The purple-haired scientist moaned through their lips at Minato gently suckling on her tongue.

Ending their make-out and pulling himself away from Tabane's kissable lips he could honestly devour and never grow hungry, or thirsty from. He could continue living his life receiving his only nourishment from Tabane's lips alone. Minato moved his heated gaze to where Houki was standing. He caught her staring at him, Chifuyu, and Tabane watching them. When their eyes met she flinched and turned her head in the opposite direction rather quickly.

Smirking at Houki's embarrassment at being caught by him. Minato looked at both Chifuyu and Tabane, and they both nodded their heads quietly and removed their bodies from his. Giving their foreheads a gentle kiss he started his walk over to Houki. She was still heavily flustered and uncomfortable judging by her blush and scared eyes staring at the wall she was facing. Houki gave a startled, feminine shout at Minato placing his right hand on her shoulder.

Looking up and staring into heated, but loving steel-gray eyes staring down at her with love smoldering behind them. His fingers gently squeezed her shoulder helping Houki relax and calm down taking deep breathes. Her blush only made her look more cute in his eyes, the way she was looking at him. Removing his hand from her shoulder he slid his fingers across her cheek and returned it back to his side. Houki's modest and flustered expression didn't go away as he started to talk to her.

"Sorry for mistaking your feelings for me, Houki-chan. I immediately figured this was Tabane's doing, pressuring you to act on your feelings, asking you to be here, wearing..." Minato paused taking another look at the white and lavender corset Houki had on her body. It was sexual, sexy, and appealing to him as Minato enjoyed the color lavender next to the flowery scent. The color white made her appear divine, and the way it hugged her body and curves also stoked his flame. "...This, I never would have guessed this was all your idea from the start."

"...Minato-nii-chan..." Houki whispered. The first few words she has said since hers and Tabane's entrance. Her eyes became docile and droopy along with her features. Her expression screamed insecurity and hesitance. However, her eyes also held passion, love, and care for the person standing in front of her towering over her form.

"If you didn't love me, you wouldn't have gone though with this and come here tonight. You probably would have ran back to your room and forget tonight ever happened. But you surprised me by dressing up in this outfit and staying. You wouldn't go to such lengths to get my attention at the cost of embarrassing yourself. And... I'm happy you feel that way about me, Houki."

He finished with saying Houki's name without the 'chan' suffix he always adds to her name. If this is where their relationship becomes official and they become one. It's only right of him to say her name minus the suffix. Lifting his arms up to his side, in the manner want would ask for a hug. Minato stared wistfully at Houki, his steel-gray orbs lost their heat and withdrew to a mere ember looking into Houki's dark blue eyes staring up at him. His fingers twitching in front of him, he said in a low, hopeful voice.

"C-Can I hold you, Houki?"

He asked this honest question to Tabane's little sister just arms length from him. Minato's smirk vanished temporarily and was replaced by a pout resembling a pup's when they desire something from their owners. Perhaps Tabane was on to something with her nickname for him. Houki silently examined Minato's two arms held out to her, his fingers consciously twitching, and the pout on his face, which resembles a puppy crying for something.

Shaking her head at him. Her embarrassed features made her seem that more adorable chastising a man older than her for desiring the obvious from her. Her eyes were closed when she started talking, and opened them when she was comfortable enough.

"...You're just tryin' to show off like you always do. Why do you have to ask the obvious? After making a girl come here dressed in very little to protect her modesty, and then asking her to tell you she loves you in person... don't ask something like that." Houki quietly puckered her lips and closed her eyes in waiting. Her voice was soft when she spoke her desires. "Just... give me a kiss. And please don't make me beg for it either."

Minato wrapped both of his arms around Houki's athletic and slightly voluptuous body. His hands stopped at her waist behind her waterfall of dark violet hair cascading down her back. His right hand is resting on top of his left hand. Minato let out a audible shudder at Houki's big breasts pressing deeply into his chest, distorting their shape, mashing into his pecs behind his Kimono. Minato breathe in her scent detecting a faint aroma of perfume around her neck and back. Rubbing his nose into the top of her hair, his voice was slightly muffled but Houki still heard her.

"For you... never." He brought up his cybernetic right arm to frame her left cheek, as Houki's hands clenched tightly to the front of Minato's Kimono.

"Minato... I love you..."

"I love you too, my adorable Miko."

Their lips met together for their first ever kiss together. But Minato had to duck down to reach Houki's beckoning lips, this wasn't a problem with Houki standing on her toes to assist him, and the rest spoke for itself.

Chifuyu and Tabane watched Minato lovingly kiss Houki, who was his junior by six years. With the addition of Houki, the four friends are now officially a couple and ladies within Minato's harem. But Chifuyu, Tabane, and Houki don't need to worry about being last on the list. Because they have known each other for years, they already have a permanent spot in his harem. Three vacant and reserved spots that have always been theirs.

Removing their lips from the passionate and loving kiss, the first for Houki. Minato's fingers still framing her cheek glided across her skin, his thumb rubbed circles on said cheek.

"Let's make this official, in my bed." He whispered to her but still loud enough for Chifuyu and Tabane to hear behind him.

…

Inside the secret room build next to his office. This room was used as a second bedroom for those long nights Minato couldn't return to his own bed down the hall. The room was nothing special with a black tinted one-way two glass-paned windows, where he can see outside but on the exterior people will just see a blank wall. It was a fairly small room for the four of them. However, the Queen size bed is big enough to hold them together.

Minato is seen kissing Houki with heat and fervor. Houki let's out a drawn out from Minato suckling on her tongue inside his mouth. Her arms unconsciously wrapped themselves around his neck pressing her body deeper into his lips and embrace. His right hand was resting over her hips, so his left hand held her cheek in his fingers as their eyes opened to a half-lidded stare looking at each other with passion, love, and lust.

Standing at the foot of the Queen's sized bed stood the single male surrounded by the three females. Minato and Houki are preoccupied kissing in-between Chifuyu and Tabane, the former stood behind Minato resting her head against his strong back, while her hands circled Minato's shoulders grasping the Kimono and slowly pulled it off his body. Tabane was on her knees below the two laying gentle butterfly kisses to her friend's body. Staring at the golden sash secured around his waist, Tabane's eyes soften before planting a kiss above the sash on Minato's stomach and proceeds to remove the sash.

Taking his lips away from Houki ending their second lip-lock together. The little sister of Tabane was panting, out of breath from the intensity of the kiss. Her blush now resembling a tomato from feeling embarrassed and by the lust her mind was experiencing for the first time. Minato tilts his head slightly staring at Houki flustered in front of him. His eyes soften with warmth and familiarity looking at the modest and embarrassed young woman in front of him. Feeling the cold on his shoulders he turned his head finding Chifuyu looking at him. She pursed her lips together taking Minato's own for a kiss.

As the two shared tongue and saliva, Chifuyu released a surprised and satisfying groan at Minato's right hand finding her ass, and tenderly groping the firmness and size of her right butt cheek. Returning to Tabane she successfully undid the sash holding Minato's Kimono together. It fell off his body hitting the floor at his feet. Unwrapping the Kimono from the right she began to lay a flurry of kisses to his exposed skin. Going up Minato's body and taking her time to kiss every inch of his front.

Minato's squeezed Chifuyu's ass getting a moan from the stoic Orimura he was currently kissing. Her grip on his shoulders increased at his surprise fondle of her ass. The reason for this came from Tabane gingerly suckling on his erect nipples. He took his lips away from Chifuyu's at Tabane's adding her teeth and grinding them gently on his nipples. Releasing a lustful moan he was brought close to Chifuyu's face by the impatience Orimura female taking his lips again forcefully for satisfaction to the growing heat between her legs.

Houki watched the uncensored threesome that looked and sounded like it was cut straight out of a porno. The lustful moans and groans and cries of pleasure from the three. To the groping of flesh and kissing on the lips, or body parts. Houki couldn't convince herself to look away, or remind herself where she was currently. Lost in a trance, her gaze and stare was locked on the heated and lewd threesome in front of her. The three adults she respected and loved next to her own parents, are busy pleasuring each other to reach that high of satisfaction they craved.

Being pushed onto his back on the bed. Minato gave a chuckle and raised himself to rest on his elbows. His storm-gray eyes held merit and awe watching Tabane crawl on her hands and knees towards him. Like a cat with a combination of lust and love brimming behind her purple orbs.

Standing at the foot of bed still were Chifuyu and Houki. Both females were reluctant to join Tabane on the bed currently straddling Minato. Their reasons were different but they both glared at Tabane's back with jealousy. Chifuyu's reluctance had to do with Tabane's unexpected throwing of Minato's body onto the mattress, ending their hot kiss together. While Houki's hesitance was her lack of confidence in the field of sexual intercourse.

Back on the bed with Minato and Tabane. The rabbit scientist and older sister of Houki stopped her advance at Minato's abdominals. Her reason was the large tent made in Minato's black boxer staring at her in defiance. Tabane looked at the tent speechless for several seconds, then her expression turned sultry before looking up at Minato's face. His expected gaze looking back up at Tabane.

"Ohhh~. Mina-kun, you shouldn't have~."

Listening to the obvious joy and seduction behind her energetic overtone. Minato chuckled some more with a shake of his head. Keeping his gaze forward he answered Tabane's unfinished question.

"What...? What is it I shouldn't it do?" Minato's smirk widen on his lips watching Tabane grip the waistband for his boxers.

She giggled in her usual laugh that he always loved listening to. In their youth he would always tell Tabane jokes, or at times trick her to giggle so he could listen to her laughter whenever he wanted. She continued her fits of giggling as she started pulling down Minato's last article of clothing.

"For getting hard, silly. Because it's been a full month since we had sex. I almost forget what your penis looked like and the size of it. Seeing it again makes me feel so happy and horny." Finished Tabane just as she pulled his boxers off his legs, leaving Minato naked to the eyes of his three childhood friends.

Chifuyu and Houki looked on without shame at Minato's revealed engorged and erected member standing at ten inches in length. The mushroom head and thick shaft began to twitch in the dark room. Drips of pre-cum started to coat the pulsing purple head and slid downward, coating three inches of the twitching shaft that is Minato's cock.

The Orimura and Shinonono young women returned to their senses and immediately turned away from Minato's member. Red hot blushes staining their cheeks and faces from openly staring at his member. The two were heavily aroused just by looking at Minato's twitching meat resting between his legs. Their heads were facing different walls, but they watched from the corners of their different colored eyes at the pulsating manhood.

A sultry smile appeared on her lips Tabane sitting on her knees raised her body to stand straight. Smiling down at Minato, her purple eyes staring directly into his steel-gray eyes. Wordlessly, she reached for the remaining buttons on the dress shirt, and slowly removed each button, exposing more skin.

When the last button came undone Tabane pulled the shirt open revealing her large and full breasts, flat stomach, and soaked womanhood with a small patch of purple hair above it. Minato's storm-gray eyes darken with lust and want looking at those mouth-watering mammaries again. The first time he didn't pay much attention to the voluminous orbs of flesh staring right at him.

Tonight he will rectify that.

Tabane caught his lustful gaze ogling her breasts. Deciding to tease him she palmed the underside of her right tit. Lowering herself down to his body, Tabane held the offered breast to Minato. The erect pink nipple and areola was prickling his lips, and it looked so inviting to take into his mouth.

"Hungry, Mina-kun?"

A suppressed growl escaped his lips. Narrowed eyes glaring back at the teasing visage of Tabane offering up her breasts to him in annoyance. His monotone voice barely hiding his impatience and irritation towards the woman straddling his lap.

"Don't test me, Tabane."

The rabbit scientist was unfazed by his look and raised herself off his chest. Now sitting up straight in his lap, the slightest movement of her body caused her large breasts to jiggle before returning to their original state.

"Hmm~. Wolf-kun is angry... Then if milk isn't what you want. Perhaps there's something else you would like?"

Calling him by his unwanted nickname, in front of Chifuyu and Houki no less. This served to irritated Minato more his eyes hardening with a glare towards Tabane. Of course, she's still unaffected by this returning his glare with a beautiful smile. It's almost like Tabane was thriving off Minato's anger towards her than being frighten.

Removing herself from his lap she went further down the bed until her head was hovering above the mushroom head of Minato's rod. Breathing softly through her nose, the head and Minato gave a quick twitch as a reaction. Surprised, Tabane stared at him between his legs with worry. Moving her eyes up to Minato's face then back to the mushroom head centimeters from her lips.

Tabane went back and forth like this several times, when she made a gasp and looked at the twitching, leaking purple head. Her own purple eyes soften with confidence, courage, and love simmering behind them. Without saying a word Tabane lowered her head the remaining inches between her and the head of Minato's cock. She laid a sweet kiss on top of the head, and opened her mouth wide taking five inches immediately into her warm and wet oral cavern.

Minato abandon his anger for Tabane and released a hoarse moan as Tabane began using her tongue around the shaft and below the mushroom head getting it lubricated with her saliva. Lifting his upper body from the mattress Minato kept his left hand on the bed grasping the sheets. He placed his right hand on top of Tabane's head and ruffled her hair.

"Tabane! S-Slow down..." Straining his words through gritted teeth Minato moved his hand on her head and stroked her long mane of purple hair for encouragement. He narrowed his eyes in pleasure and stress to hold back his orgasm.

She ignored his suggestion and doubled her suckling on his member and the inches she already had in her mouth. A quiet mewl escaped her throat as she took in another inch of Minato's member down her throat making it six inches total. Tabane started humming a tune with his cock inside her mouth causing the vibrations to simulate Minato further. Creating saliva in her mouth, while never ceasing her efforts to please Minato. She spit out the saliva in her throat and circled her tongue around the head and slit. Tabane paid close attention to the leaking mushroom head and slit oozing pre-cum. Her pink tongue will swipe across his slit taking any pre-cum escaping at the time.

Her skills at giving a blowjob were novice at best. Tabane has no skill in her sucking and has no technique she can use to make him scream out her name in pleasure. However, Tabane more than makes up for her lack of skills and knowledge, with her enthusiasm and determination to please him. Even now Minato was struggling to keep himself from blowing early. Seeing through narrowed eyes he can see Tabane has her eyes closed with her mouth enclosed around his head.

Her audible suction, spitting, and moans served to arouse Minato, with her full and undivided attention focused towards making him come inside her mouth. Every lewd moan and little noise she would make the rabbit ears on top of her head would twitched, as to convey her happiness and joy.

"Onee-chan..." Houki breathe out witnessing her elder sister eagerly and sloppily sucking Minato's manhood. Her face red with embarrassment and her thighs soaked with her juices of arousal. Houki watched with an gaping mouth expression watching her sister Tabane pleasure her crush and older brother figure orally.

Chifuyu too, watched Tabane give head to Minato's ten inch phallus. Staring in awe from the corners of her eyes Chifuyu could see Tabane had no knowledge and technique to pleasing a man orally.

However, judging from the sounds and groans Minato was making proved he was enjoying himself, despite this known fact. Chifuyu's blush increased at the loud moan that escaped his lips. Turning to face the wall completely, however, her ears still picked up his pleasured and happy groans. These served to arouse Chifuyu more. Her juices ruining her lace black panties and leaking out the sides, staining her thighs and legs. A visible trail of clear liquid falling down her left leg hitting the carpet flooring.

Giving two powerful suctions, her audible sucking received a heavy groan from Minato causing the male to gritted his teeth, as his will is literally being sucked out of him by Tabane. Licking the top of the head and around the slit taking into her mouth a quick helping of his cum. Tabane stood up on her knees, removing her mouth from his twitching member.

Minato used this opportunity to catch his breath and push his arousal down to last longer. Rather than feel upset for Tabane leaving him to dry, he opened one of his eyes to a half-lidded stare watching Tabane's jiggling rear-end bounce while she walk up to the embarrassed Houki.

"Wanna help me, Houki-chan? Mina-kun's penis tastes so good! But I can't do it alone and I know you love Mina-kun same as me and Chi-chan. So how about us sisters pleasure the person we both love with our mouths together?"

Houki's eyes widen in surprise, and her blush darken with embarrassment and slight arousal hearing her elder sister's offer to join her. Houki moved her body away removing Tabane's hand resting on her left shoulder when getting her attention.

"W-What are you crazy!? Never mind don't answer that question, but no! I don't want to do t-t-that." She struggled to complete her sentences referring back to Minato's harden erection staring intimidating at the two women facing it. From Houki's embarrassed facial features, to the heated glare she was giving Tabane. It was clear to see she wasn't going to change her mind towards Tabane's offer.

But after a few seconds the heat and hostility vanished from her eyes. The dark blue orbs adopted a timid and reluctant look to them. Houki looked pass Tabane's shoulders looking at Minato's twitching erection slowly swaying back and forth in the dark. In a quiet voice following the scared look in her eyes, Houki whispered something Tabane didn't immediately catch.

"What did you say?" Tabane asked for a repeat leaning her head closer to hear this time.

"...I don't know...- I don't know how to do it..." She whispered turning away from facing her elder sister. Her red blush enveloping her cheeks and face with heat from how embarrassed she felt admitting this.

Her flustered expression became one of surprise at Tabane grasping her chin in her left hand and turning her head to face her. Houki's eyes widened, while Tabane's simmered with different emotions staring back at her little sister's surprised visage. Pride and love were the two frequently seen emotions swimming in her purple orbs. A smile taking over her lips. Tabane's eyes started to leak wet tears around her eye-lids. She opened her mouth to inhale a large quantity of air before finally speaking to the stunned Houki.

"That's okay, Houki-chan. I don't know a lot about sex, and what to do when your taking that big step with the person you love with all your heart. I might no longer be a virgin because Mina-kun has claimed it already, I'm still hopelessly unaware when it comes to sex. I'm only doing okay right now because I will do anything for Mina-kun. Even embarrass myself in front of Chi-chan and Houki-chan."

Tabane ended her truthful confession by sticking her tongue slightly out of her closed lips and closed her eyes. Houki quietly looked at her elder sister's fake smile and stuck out tongue. Listening to the honesty in her words revealing to her (Houki) that she has no clue about sex, even after sleeping with Minato once already. Tabane was still a novice just like herself in this field.

Because of her love for Minato, Tabane will do anything to please him sexually. This known fact is what has pushed her so far since they entered the secret bedroom next to Minato's office. Feeling better about herself with her confidence. After hearing her own sister's shortcomings when it comes to sex. While still reluctant about joining Tabane, Houki filled with courage from this revelation timidly nodded her head, her dark blue eyes displaying her shyness about joining this early on.

Receiving a smile from Tabane, the older sister of the Shinonono family grasped one of her little sister's hands, and brought her to the foot of the bed. They placed their knees at the end of the mattress and lowered their front halves onto the bed. Laying on either side of Minato (Tabane on his right flank, and Houki over to his left flank). Tabane's hand grasped onto the shaft gently, then slowly picked up a rhythm giving Minato a handjob.

"Everything I know so far in pleasing a man came from Mina-kun's moans and gasps to whatever I'm doing to him at that moment. He will tell you what to do and where to lick to get a reaction from him. Mina-kun likes to have the head licked and suckled on. Keeping using your tongue around the shaft, and only take into your mouth what you're able. Don't try to take anymore you can't, okay?"

Tabane removed her hand from his manhood, seconds later Houki brought her face close to the tip. Her small nose taking a quick whiff of his meat. A small spurt of pre-cum ejected from the slit, an indication Minato enjoyed that. Following the information she heard from Tabane she raised her head over the tip of his manhood, and wrapped her salivated lips around the mushroom head, quickly taking four inches into her warm, inviting mouth.

"Houki!" Minato yelled in absolute pleasure. Feeling her mouth and tongue finally around his meat. The stunned and timid younger woman widen her eyes with surprised, looking up her older brother figure's body, and staring deeply into his steel-gray orbs.

"W-Was I good? Did that feel good?!" Houki asked with wonder and hope in her tone staring at Minato's visage short of breath. Tabane looked at the side of Houki's face feeling pride at her little sister's pleading expression waiting on Minato's answer to her performance.

"Y-Yeah... That felt amazing Houki. Please continue." Minato finished still short of breath from the amazing feeling of Houki's mouth on his cock. He said her name without the suffix again, getting a joyful look and smile from Houki.

She didn't say anything except for nodding her head with a confident smile on her lips. She closed her eyes with joy and confidence repeating Minato's words inside her head again. Following his suggestion she lowered herself to look at the tip again. A sultry grin on her lips she kissed the slit of his cock, and swiftly took in the same amount she took in the first time.

Minato's honesty and praises fueling Houki's confidence and sex-drive at this point of the night. The little sister of Tabane followed in her sister's footsteps filled with eagerness and desire. To hear more of Minato's pleasured moans and groans leave his lips at her sucking and slurping of his erection.

"That's it, H-Houki. Just like that... Don't forget to use you tongue... that's it lick it all around like that. Heh heh, are you certain this is your first time? You're a natural at this!"

Houki's efforts doubled, no tripled with Minato's praises. She listened to every suggestion and piece of advice that he gave out. Wanting to fully pleasure him, she started pump his shaft enthusiastically with her mouth, going up and down with her head between his legs. Her tongue was also active licking around and below the pulsating purple head. Following a tip from Minato she traced her tongue against his bulging veins. For her reward Minato cursed loudly in pleasure, his chest rising up and down as his breathing became labored coming up to his climax. While she suckled away on his member leaking pre-cum like a faucet, and Houki wiped it all up with her tongue. Due to her head bouncing on his cock caused some strands of her dark violet hair to tickle his shaft. Minato groaned with heat as a response urging Houk thinking it was her blowjob that caused his reaction.

"Heh heh... What's the matter, Chi-chan? Why are you waiting here in the corner when Mina-kun want's all of us to pleasure him? Like with Houki-chan you too don't know what to do when it comes to sex. I also know you're hesitating because you never expected your first time would be with Houki-chan and I. That's okay because I've already lost my virginity to Mina-kun so I can help you when he puts his penis in here."

Chifuyu stuck in a trance was listening to Tabane speech, however, her attention was focused on Minato's blissful and pleasured face. She returned back to reality feeling Tabane's hand palming her panty covered womanhood. She let out a screech and beat away Tabane's hand. Chifuyu glared daggers at her childhood friend for touching her mound. Tabane simply smiled in returned, obviously immuned and used to Chifuyu's scowls.

"See, you want to do what Houki-chan is doing to Mina-kun as well. There's no need to feel embarrass Chi-chan. We both love the same person, there's no need to feel embarrassed around each other." Tabane finished planting her hands on her naked hips, she pushed out her large breasts making them jiggle and bounce then returning to their normal shape. No fear, or regret for showing her naked body to her friend, who was staring at Tabane with a scowl shaking her head at the beaming rabbit woman.

"Shut it. I don't need any advice, or teaching from you of all people, Tabane. You convinced your sister to join you so why don't you go back and you both can pleasure Minato. I'll have my turn after you two." Chifuyu turned her body away giving her back and the cold shoulder to Tabane. However, the red blush on her cheeks meant Chifuyu wasn't completely against the idea, but her embarrassment was a different story.

Knowing when she's defeated Tabane gave a small smile to Chifuyu's back. Joining Minato and Houki back on the Queen sized bed. Tabane looked at her little sister eagerly bouncing her head on his lap. Giving a smile at Houki's increased efforts, Tabane climbed up the bed on her hands and knees up to Minato's head. She switched her position to sitting on her knees on his right side. Lowering the front half of her body down to his face, she kissed his right cheek then licked said cheek and returning the pink organ back into her mouth. Minato turned his head slightly in her direction seeing Tabane's sultry smile and seductive eyes looking back at him.

"How is she?" Said Tabane kissing the same spot on his cheek. Minato let out another moan the second her lips touched his skin. It had something to do with Houki's tongue licking around the purple head of his cock for any pre-cum escaping her attacks on his slit.

"Amazing~. Why don't you join her? After all you convinced her to do this. It's only fair."

"I believe I will. I'll admit watching Houki-chan sucking on your cock is making horny." She said laying one last kiss to his cheek and moving her body down to his pelvis. Lying on her stomach she nudged the side of Houki's head. Houki understanding her sister's silent demand took her mouth away allowing Tabane to take the slimy mushroom head for herself.

Closing her eyes in bliss and letting out a happy moan from her throat. Tabane's suction became that of a vacuum, while her tongue licked the shaft inside her mouth and what she couldn't fit. Six inches was all she could take for now, but that didn't stop her.

Desiring more Houki tapped Tabane's shoulder getting her attention. She looked up at her little sister with her mouth situated around Minato's member. Using her eyes to send her message Tabane removed her mouth from his cock, not before giving a sweet kiss to the tip. Seeing her chance Houki dived forward taking four inches of Minato into her warm mouth. Her tongue happily lapping up at what she couldn't fit into her mouth staining the shaft with her saliva.

The two Shinonono sisters would take turns pleasuring the head before switching with each other. No longer feeling embarrassed Houki wrapped her lips tightly over the leaking purple head, taking five inches into her mouth. She adamantly refused to give her sister a chance and continued sucking. Joyful moans and soft squeaks escaped from Houki's closed mouth, while she sucked and licked of what she fit into her mouth. Leaving the remaining five inches and Minato's testicles to a smiling Tabane, not upset about her little sister's cynical desires. Tracing her tongue down the bulging veins around his shaft. Tabane worked her tongue licking around Minato's member not inside Houki's mouth. She went in circles covering all of his shaft then went further down to Minato's balls. Kissing both testicles filled heavily with semen. Tabane started with her tongue first doing what she did with the shaft, satisfied with her handiwork she takes one of his testicles into her mouth and sucked on it like a piece of hard candy. Her eyes closed in bliss Tabane opened her lips with a *pop* licked her lips and takes the neglected testicle into her mouth. Another minute passes and she takes her mouth away spitting the ball she was sucking out of her mouth. Giving a delighted sigh Tabane goes back down to Minato's testicles and takes both of his balls into her mouth. She and Houki both release moans at their respective efforts pleasuring Minato's member.

"Fuck- I'm going to cum! You're both going to make me cum." Shouted Minato moving his body on the bed erratically. His eyes are closed, his teeth grinding against each other to stop himself from releasing too early, and he was breathing out of his nose heavily. The expression on his face showed him in pain, and his face was bright red as well. The sisters conjoined efforts were stimulating every inch of his penis breaking away at his resistance as time progressed.

Hearing his warning this raised the two sisters spirits and they both increased their efforts to help Minato reach his climax and give them their desired reward. Tabane spits out his balls from her mouth and goes back up his member to lick away at the naked shaft. Houki released a moan tasting the pre-cum releasing in volumes from the mushroom head for his impending orgasm.

Letting out another moan from his teeth Minato increased the pressure of his teeth grinding feeling his semen filling up his balls for his largest orgasm of the night. He laid his head backwards into the pillows looking up at the ceiling.

'F-Fuck- Why didn't I do this with Tabane for her first time? She's amazing with her tongue and very eager to suck me dry. Likewise with Houki. This cannot be their first time giving a blowjob they must have practice with something. They're both talented with their mouths it's impossible for this to be their only time ever sucking cock.' Feeling a sudden rush of familiarity from his manhood. His semen rushing up his member to his twitching purple head. Minato was about to warm the sisters again, when they stopped unexpectedly and took their mouths away from him. 'W-W-What?! Why did Tabane and Houki stop. Is Tabane teasing me again and is purposely- OH, FUCK!'

Pushing his back off the bed to rest on his elbows Minato opened his eyes to a half-lidded stare looking down at his lap. Wondering why the sisters suddenly stopped, only to start again with them attacking the head together with their renewed effort. Widening his eyes in full alertness when he found it was Chifuyu swallowing his violently twitching member.

Her lewd and lustful amber eyes are focused completely on his face. They narrowed slightly almost taking great pleasure in Minato's surprise to finding her instead of Tabane and Houki. Her gaze fell between seductive and a predator's gaze. Chifuyu's eyelids widen a small margin looking at his visage, and gauging from Minato's expression he was climaxing.

Unable to take anymore from the Shinonono sisters teamwork, and Chifuyu's violent suction leaving him on the brink the moment her mouth swallowed his member. He released a loud groan signaling his harsh climax. Minato could feel the familiar heat between his legs and a blast of semen shooting directly down Chifuyu's throat. The raven-haired woman didn't hesitate at the large volume of cum racing down her throat, swallowing every shot into her inviting mouth.

Chifuyu mewled softly and with excitement at the large quantity of cum still being fired. Minato could see Chifuyu physically swallowing his cum. Small bumps went down her throat, visible at the neck of her swallowing. Taking his entire load which was going to be shared between Tabane and Houki for herself. Chifuyu didn't stop sucking, even after his climax ended. Chifuyu refused to stop and continued sucking.

His mind caught up, Minato looked down seeing Chifuyu's messy black hair framing his thighs and her head going up and down. He could hear her suction as she tried desperately to get more of his cum. His manhood stayed erect after his harsh climax, however, Chifuyu's sucking also helped keep it erect.

Minato released a pained groan at her increased suction. She was still going despite no more semen coming out of the tip.

"Chifuyu- ah, fuck. You're still sucking?!"

Hearing his fatigue, pained voice had Chifuyu cease her efforts. She released the mushroom head with an audible gulp. Her eyes still closed shut Chifuyu brought up her right hand using the back of that hand to wipe away any residue from her lips she may of missed. Licking the back of her hand for any cum she slowly opened her eyelids revealing amused and satisfied amber orbs playfully glaring at his stunned and physically tired visage of Minato looking back at her.

"Thanks for the meal."

Chifuyu uttered as if she had just had a late night snack, and thanking Minato for the treat with a sarcastic grin on her lips. Getting his breathing under control and feeling his heartbeat lessen Minato raised himself to a sitting position. His visage evolving into a smirk staring back at Chifuyu also sitting in front of him.

"I'm not against whoever it is that gets me to climax in the end. Man, it has been a long time since I came that hard. But why the sudden change of heart, Chifuyu? Couldn't accept Tabane getting ahead of you again?"

Minato fired back with bringing up Chifuyu's disgust of coming in last behind their friend. Her and Tabane were awfully competitive during their high school years. Chifuyu hated losing to Tabane in their competitions through-out those three years. Her eyes narrowing dangerously at him said she didn't find his joke hilarious.

He chuckled not minding he was increasing her anger towards him with his laughter. Minato closed his eyes and lowered his head, his eyes pointing to the bed. Chifuyu surprised him again by not immediately striking him instead she grasped his chin and brought their lips close for a kiss. Forgetting the fact he could still taste his cum on her lips Minato grabbed Chifuyu's left bicep, and increased the strength of the kiss. Chifuyu reciprocated by putting more effort into the kiss she would let out a soft moan from Minato forcing his tongue pass her teeth and began exploring to his leisure.

His grip on her left bicep became stronger getting another soft moan from Chifuyu. Her eyes cringed from Minato suckling on her tongue and from the grip he had on her left bicep. The red blush of her arousal grew in color with his body leaning over hers. His chest pressing against her bra-clad breasts.

Releasing their holds of each other, they both released an audible sigh of lust and arousal. Their eyes staring straight at each other complete with love and lust behind their amber and storm-gray eyes respectively. Chifuyu continued to surprise Minato with bringing her body closer to his, her neck buried into Minato's neck, she began to lick at his skin and inhaling his familiar scent.

All of this surprised the raven-haired man, who knowing Chifuyu for his entire life has never seen her behave this way once. Brushing his cybernetic hand through the back of her long black hair. Minato closed his eyes and continued his brushing. He didn't raise an eyebrow when Chifuyu started to speak again.

"I'm completely aware you have yourself a harem, Minato. A harem you want myself, Tabane, and her little sister to be apart of because you love us. Remember that behind Yukari-chan, Tabane and I are second in your heart. I'm not giving you up to anyone, even if I have to share you with these other women. You're mine and mine alone, Sahashi Minato. You're the only man I will ever love romantically so don't think I'm going to disappear forever and leave you. Speaking of which...-"

On the floor off to the sides of the bed, two bodies started to rise and awaken. They both let out simultaneous groans of pain and raised a hand to rub the back of their heads. On the bed Chifuyu licked away at a tender area on Minato's neck wanting to leave her mark on his body. Puckering her lips together she started to suck on the wetness her tongue left behind on his neck. Her intentions were to leave a hickey on Minato's neck, and claim a part of him all for herself. Minato released a suppressed growl at Chifuyu biting tenderling on the neck, where she's laid her claim. Removing her head from his neck Chifuyu gave a single lick to the hickey on Minato's neck. It was completely visible for everyone to see, even at night. Minato will need to wear high-collared shirts to hide it from the public.

Chifuyu grinned staring at the hickey on Minato's neck she was responsible for. Looking up at his expression Minato was tracing the outlines with his fingers, having an idea of how large the hickey was. He was deciding about stretching the collar on his coat to hide it when he's out.

"I bet none of your Sekireis have done this to you yet have they?"

"No, they haven't but I'm the one at fault there. I'm haven't been the best lover to them with always working. I'm rectifying this now, however, a part of me regrets waiting this long to become intimate with them."

A pained groan cut through the night air, ending Chifuyu's and Minato's conversation. Five seconds after the groan, the sound of wood cracking under pressure was heard next. The two bodies on top of the mattress moved away from each other to a sitting position and looked over the edges of the bed on either side.

Minato found a distracted and obviously disappointed Houki massaging the bump behind her head with her right hand. Her facial features looked embarrassed once again as she was feeling early. Perhaps from coming to the realization of what she and Tabane did together. Looking into her dark blue orbs Minato could see the disappointment in them, he assumed it was her frustration of not getting anymore of his cum.

Chifuyu looked over the other side of the bed, and immediately adopted a sheepish, troubled smile on her lips now looking at the dead purple eyes lacking any pupils, which belong to a very pissed off Tabane Shinonono. Chifuyu and Minato coming over to the other half of the mattress, they both could detect their sweat-dropping witnessing Tabane's anger in such a long time.

The last time Tabane was this angry was when she and Minato went on a date together. Minato was eleven and Tabane was ten. The night ended with Tabane wanting to take Minato home with her, when Chifuyu found the restaurant they were having dinner that night and stopped her from going forward with her plans. Tabane was truly upset with Chifuyu after that night refusing to talk, or interact with Chifuyu for a whole month.

The two childhood friends watched their third childhood friend slowly rise off the ground. Her eyes remained the same with a shadow falling over them, and her lips formed a thin line displaying her loathing and restricted hostility towards Chifuyu. Tabane ignored Minato not focusing on his person at all.

"Chi-Chan!"

She screeched jumping up at the pair on the bed. Her knees sinking into the soft mattress as Tabane grabbed both of Chifuyu's arms and started to violently shake Chifuyu. While doing so she's mewling in anger looking straight into Chifuyu's amber orbs. Minato was left alone by Tabane putting all of her focus on Chifuyu.

"How could you, how could you, how could you! Mina-kun's semen was mine and Houki-chan's. We worked hard to make Mina-kun come and you take all of his semen for yourself without sharing it with me and Houki-chan."

Using her incredible strength to pick up Chifuyu's body by her arms. Minato widen his eyes in confusion witnessing Tabane lift Chifuyu up no problem. The raven-haired women in question raised an eyebrow before realizing what she was planning and opened her mouth.

"Oi, Tabane don't-" She ignored her and effortlessly threw Chifuyu across the room to the corner adjacent to the secret door. Chifuyu's body hit the wall and ground with a thud. She wasn't injured, nor did she fall unconscious from the hard impact, however, she was irritated with Tabane for throwing her.

Minato wanted to say anything, especially comment on Tabane's superhuman strength he didn't realize she has. Pushed backwards onto his back, lying on the bed staring up at the ceiling, his storm-gray eyes caught Tabane's gentle and loving purple eyes looking down at him.

While their eyes stayed connected to each other, Minato felt Tabane's hand brushing pass his thighs and legs. A second later he felt her weight being pushed on him with Tabane straddling him again. Saying nothing to his friend Minato quietly followed Tabane with holding her hips in his hands. Planting her hands on either side of his head Tabane lowered her body where her lips were hovering over Minato's lips.

The two could feel the others breath on their face as they silently stared at each other. Minato's erection was standing at its full height again just outside Tabane's soaked maidenhood leaking her clear juices. Her lower lips were puffy and pink turning red with how heavily aroused she was. Currently straddling her childhood friend with his erection standing perpendicular to her mound.

"Mina-kun..."

"Tabane-chan." Minato breathe out holding onto tightly to her hips. Her eyes flooding with tears staring down at him lying on his back. She kissed him in a sweet and passionate kiss, Minato reciprocated the kiss increasing his hold on Tabane's hips.

"I'm sorry I made you wait this long for me to hear your heart and accept you had feelings for me. I'm happy you, Chifuyu, and Houki decided to stay with me."

"I don't care anymore that I wasn't your first. I only want to be apart of your life and have you in mine, Mina-kun. Please, take me." Tabane sum up her confession in these two sentences. Minato lying on his back nodded his head, and looked down between their legs. She raised her bottom off of his lap and moved herself to hover over the tip of erection. Take one hand away from her hips he grasped his shaft and rubbed the tip against her maidenhood.

The head and first three inches were lubricated in her essences and his semen, he rubbed the tip against Tabane's lower lips receiving a soft moan from her. Grasping his length tightly along with her hips in his other hand Minato pushed his hips up off the mattress, penetrating Tabane for the second time.

"Ahh! M-Mina-kun!"

"Tabane..."

Minato held back a moan feeling her warm, tight walls squeezing his length inside of her. First penetration he got in five inches and stopped there with Tabane requiring to loosen her inner muscles. The way she is right now made it difficult for Minato to go deeper, or move his hips from her tight muscles refusing to unclench.

Tabane let out a painful scream, aching her back causing her large breasts to jiggle in place. Closing her eyes with fresh tears spilling out her eyelids Tabane gritted her teeth in pain. Minato didn't move his hips to spare Tabane anymore pain, he slowly brought Tabane's upper body to rest over his chest. Bringing his hand up from her hips he framed her cheek and wiped away her tears for her, he wrapped his other arm around Tabane's waist in a one-arm hug.

Minato's expression watched Tabane's panting and hurt expression feeling remorse towards himself for causing his childhood friend any pain. He already was disgusted with himself for lying to her and the others for three years, but seeing Tabane crying on top of him, his hardened erection buried five inches inside her warmth.

Figuratively, he has no heart in his chest. However, he was honestly contemplating stabbing his hand into his chest and pulling his heart out to experience the same pain Tabane was feeling because of him. Slowly opening her eyes to a half-lidded stare Tabane's purple eyes shimmering with different emotions. Looking at Minato's face she could identified the regret and remorseful he was feeling. Gently moving her hips connected to his erection inside of her. Tabane's smile widen briefly overhearing Minato's groan of pleasure. She kissed his right cheek, then pushed herself away from his head. His eyes staring at her in confusion.

"D-Don't worry about me, Mina-kun. I wanted this, I want you. Don't hesitate because you don't want to hurt me, I want you to enjoy yourself, and my body. Please, have your way with me and never stop. I will tell you myself if I want you to stop. So please stop worrying about me and ravish me!"

Listening to her plea along with witnessing her sincere, truthful confession and loving purple eyes looking at him with traces of dried tears. Minato forgot about his previous regret, and feelings of disgust towards himself remained but he pushed this to the back of his mind for now. Tightening his hold around her waist Minato thrusted his hips up into Tabane's warmth once more, they both released pleasured moans at their genitals rubbing against each other.

Still feeling uncomfortable Tabane's eyes clenched together in minor pain, letting out silent whimpers with every thrust Minato made inside of her. With every thrust he made caused a shock of pain to envelope her body, Tabane refused to raise her voice and tell Minato to stop. Slowly the pain began to fade away, and pleasure started to become apparent after every thrust.

Her lips closed together for a dreamy smile, and her expression turned happy. Minato had his eyes closed as he continued his thrusting inside Tabane, oblivious to her blissful smile and happy expression on her visage. His panting escaped his lips with every withdraw of his length from Tabane's warmth. He buried his nose into her neck and licked away at her sweat forming on her body. Minato brought his free hand resting idle on the mattress down to her waist and wrapped itself around her body. His left arm on top of his right arm.

The two continued their love-making oblivious to the others own pleased facial expressions. Minato held Tabane's body tightly under his arms and penetrated her repeatedly with upward thrusts. No longer feeling pain Tabane ached her head, tilting her chin over his forehead. Her panting was more vocal than Minato's own, with her mouth opened a bit and her tongue hanging out of her mouth. Her moaning aroused Minato's lust with him increasing the speed of his hips remembering she gave him permission to do whatever he desired to her.

"More, Mina-kun. Please go faster."

Tabane voiced her desires for him to go faster. Minato said nothing and increased his speed. She released another moan happy about his change of speed to his thrusts. Minato's groans were more vocal now with him releasing audible sighs and moans feeling Tabane's walls gingerly massaging his shaft.

"You feel so good... Tabane."

He said eliciting a joyful cry from the rabbit woman straddling him. She released a happy coon, and hugged Minato's head close to her body. She was giggling with merit feeling her body rocking in rhythm together with his thrusts. Tabane cooed in delight and bliss and rocked her hips together with his upward thrusts. She overheard his surprised moan at her action, and continued with her bouncing getting more pleased moans from Minato.

Feeling her large breasts and erect pink nipples brushing against his chest. He ignored the pleasure her breasts brought him and buried his nose into her neck again. His tongue licking up her sweat and drinking it like it was precious drinking water. Minato clenched his eyes tight feeling Tabane's wall gripping his member. Her hips continued their soft, melodic bouncing on his lap, and her ass jiggled with every bounce. Minato lowered one of his hands to palm the right cheek of Tabane's elastic and jiggling butt. Tabane ached her neck up to face the ceiling releasing a pleased moan at Minato palming her jiggling ass.

Narrowing his eyes Minato stared at the large breasts squishing into his harden pecs distorting their shape and going flat on his body. He ignored these deletable and lustful round orbs of flesh on their first night together. The way they squished and pressed down against his chest was both a delicious sight to witness, and the way her erect nipples would occasionally circle around his own harden nipples caused him to moan in pleasure from the new form of simulation.

Unable to take his eyes away from her orbs of flesh Minato let out a starved growl and surprised Tabane straddling him, causing her to gasp then scream at Minato lowering his head down to Tabane's large breasts, and taking her right breast into his mouth and bit down on the nipple. His hips went faster due to Minato giving himself to his lust. The bed below the two started to bounce in rhythm with their own bouncing. The wooden headboard crashing into the wall behind it, however, no noise was emitted outside this room having soundproof walls.

Tabane let out more vocal pleasured and lustful moans. Her insides were pounded repeatedly by Minato's hard thrusts, and recently with his mouth suckling at her right breast. His teeth gnawed and bit down on the teat between his teeth. Tabane let out a playful giggle and wrapped her arms around his head keeping him between her large breasts.

"Mina-kun~. You're like a baby looking for milk. I need to be pregnant first to produce milk from my breasts, then you can drink from them all you want."

Tabane had her eyes closed enjoying Minato's gentle treatment on her breasts and nipples. Taking his mouth away from her right breast wet with a mixture of saliva and sweat. He soon turned his attention to her neglected breast and took it into his mouth, his teeth reacquainting with the nipple standing erect on that tit. Minato's eyes narrowed and his lips became a frown at Tabane baby comment. He'll let it slide because he was enjoying himself too much with her breasts. But he would be lying if he didn't admit he wasn't annoyed and irritated with that comment.

From Tabane's moans, to his suction and feasting of her tits, his hips thrusting repeatedly and frequently inside of her womanhood. Minato could feel the familiar heat and erratic twitching of his member throbbing inside Tabane's warmth. They started in the cow-girl position and Tabane expressed her joy of riding him. But Minato wanted to switch the position they finish in together, plus he wanted to see Tabane's face when he unloaded inside of her.

Removing his lips from the nipple he was suckling on, a trail of saliva connecting the pink bud to his mouth. The trail broke with Minato removing his length from Tabane's vagina and threw her backwards on the bed. She released a surprised gasp with her back touching the mattress and the lost of Minato's cock inside of her. Tabane was prepared to ask why he stopped, when her mouth was taken by Minato.

He held himself over Tabane's body by his arms laying on either side of her arms. Her large breasts were squished under his chest pressing down against her body. She forgot what she was going to say, and released a lustful moan with Minato's tongue playing with Tabane's tongue inside of her mouth.

Removing themselves from each others lips Tabane looked in wonder up at Minato.

"Sorry if you wanted to continue riding me, but I thought we should finish in a more intimate position." Minato pecked Tabane's lips looking deeply into her purple eyes full of love and care in his storm-gray ones. Tabane didn't need no words to agree with her lover so she nodded her head with a warm smile.

Nodding his head Minato raised his body off of Tabane and switched them to his desired position. Flipping Tabane to lie on her side he grasped her left leg in his arms and brought it to rest on his left shoulder. Sitting down on Tabane's thighs of her right leg Minato released a soft moan when his balls brushed against her soft thighs. Positioning his length at the entrance to Tabane's leaking womanhood, he pushed his hips forward entering Tabane's warm, wet tunnel a second time. Both Minato and Tabane released moans feeling their sexes together again.

Knowing what Tabane will already say to him, Minato started his thrusting fast and hard into her. His second penetration inside Tabane and his harder thrusts successfully pushed in another two inches. Now with seven inches of his thickness inside his childhood friend. Minato didn't stop his hips, or his fun with Tabane's body and warm mound.

Her mechanical rabbit ears responding to her pleasure and happiest, they twitched violently on top of Tabane's head, while the rabbit scientist herself was reduced to a choir of moans and pleasured cries feeling Minato's rough thrusts into her mound. She was also in tears by his shaft and balls sawing against her soft, cushioning thighs providing an incredible sensation unfamiliar to Tabane. She couldn't begin to explain the feeling but she knew she loved this warm and lewd feeling.

One hand gripped the white sheets of the pulled back comforters. Her other arm laid below her breasts holding them and pushing them up slightly. Tabane's cries of pleasure served to entice Minato and causing him to add more power to his thrusts, which had Tabane crying out for more.

Skin slapping, different fluids splashing on skin and the crisp, white sheets they were laying on. Pleasured moans and lustful groans escaped the mouths of Minato and Tabane thrusting their bodies together in seeking greater amounts of pleasure. Their hot breaths framed their partner's faces staring into each others glossy eyes. Minato broke the silent stalemate capturing Tabane's lips for a hot, passionate kiss. Their tongues could be seen dueling each other by the bulges in their cheeks.

They continued to kiss and swap spit between their mouths, while Minato increased the speed and power of his thrusts again nearing his evitable climax. Tabane also started to show signs of her telltale release, her hand gripping the sheets showed tears in them due to her increased strength. To stimulate herself further to help reach her climax she pushed her hips back into Minato's rough thrusts getting a positive reaction from Minato and herself, as they both released a sharp moan together..

"Ohhh~. I'm cumming. I'm almost about to cum. Mina-kun, I'm about to cum!" She screamed with sweat falling off her brow and framing her face, neck, and breasts. Tabane turned her body to look her childhood friend in his eyes. Minato was close to his end by the look in his calm storm-gray colored eyes.

"Y-Yeah, I'm close too. I can feel it going to be a big one just like my first one."

Tabane was awfully quiet, except for her soft panting. Saying nothing she kept her gaze with Minato's, and surprised him with wrapping her legs around his waist. Preventing him from pulling out of her. He caught on to what she was doing seconds later. He first noticed his hip movement was limited to short, small thrusts. Staring into Tabane's unreadable expression staring up at him, Minato asked her what she was doing.

"T-Tabane? Can you unhook your legs? I need to pull out soon so I don't come inside you. I'm s-serious this will be a big orgasm, and if I come inside you there's a chance I might get you pregnant..."

"It's okay..." Minato raised an eyebrow past his fringes covering his forehead. Chifuyu and Houki, these two who have been silent throughout their friends coupling leaned their heads closer to hear Tabane and increased their hearing. "Mina-kun... you know that I love you... so much, right?" Tabane's eyes glisten with fresh tears staring up at Minato, who nodded his head. He slowed his thrusts to a crawl allowing Tabane to speak freely. "Well, I don't mind getting pregnant if it's your child. This isn't me wanting to get ahead of your other Sekireis talking about getting pregnant. I-I honestly want you to get me pregnant with your baby, Mina-kun."

Hearing her confession coming from the usual energetic, hyper, loud, and possibly insane Tabane Shinonono saying she wants Minato's children and wants to get pregnant now. The three friends, Minato, Chifuyu, and her little sister Houki were all befuddled and shocked to hear Tabane's confession of wanting to be a mother already.

Minato remained frozen for a full minute, as he waited for his brain to absorb the information he had heard come from Tabane's lips. Returning to his senses he blessed her with one of his true smiles he saved exclusively for those he cares intimately for. Taking one of his hands he brought that hand to Tabane's face framing her cheek.

"Of course. It will take some tries as I myself aren't ready to start a family just yet. But if you do get pregnant from tonight I will love you and our child." Minato whispered bringing his head closer to Tabane's head and kissed her lips.

While they kissed he brought the hand caressing her face down to her stomach and removed the contraception he placed on Tabane years before. Before removing himself from Tabane's lips Minato used his power to remove his own contraception on his semen making them fertile again.

"I love you, Mina-kun." Tabane said before exhaling the breath she had been holding. Minato had renewed his thrusts quickly setting the rhythm and bringing them both over the edge again

"And I you..." Minato let out a groan near the end feeling Tabane's inner muscles gripping his shaft and not letting go. A couple more hard thrusts from Minato adding in his testicles grinding against Tabane's cushion-like thighs, and Tabane pushing backwards on his thrusts and fondling her own breasts proved to be the final straw for them both.

Minato let out a loud moan tilting his head to face the ceiling. Tabane gritted her teeth to stop her moans and gripped tightly onto the sheets. He released a massive load of cum straight into Tabane's womb, and with her contraception removed there was a high possibility she could end up pregnant. The quiet sounds of semen shooting and leaving Tabane's soaked womanhood unable to contained both of their essences. Spilled over the white sheets staining them in a noticeable wet spot.

He released grunts and weak groans as his cock continued to paint Tabane's insides white with his fertile seed. Looking down at Tabane's body laying his eyes on her stomach, there was a slight bloating from how much semen he shot inside her womb. Minato's thoughts went to Tabane getting pregnant with his child. Although, he said he wasn't ready to start a family just yet. But looking at Tabane's blissful and shining visage sleeping with a beautiful, warm smile on her face. The sweat and wetness around her legs, thighs, and womanhood just added to her beauty. Minato wouldn't detest the idea of starting his family early.

Lowering the front half of his body he kissed Tabane's forehead tasting her dried sweat. Gently, with care he removed his essences covered member from Tabane's mound. Her lower lips unconsciously closed themselves after his removal of his cock. Tabane's unconscious mind wishing to keep all of his cum from escaping her womb.

Releasing a sigh Minato closed his eyes in thought, his hand stroking himself to keep him erect. The bed squeaked told him someone had joined him and Tabane. Opening his right eye to a half-lidded stare he watched Chifuyu on her hands and knees crawling seductively towards him. A sultry smile on her lips, and she was naked having removed her lacy underwear prior.

Reaching him Chifuyu said nothing and straddled his lap and pushed him onto his back. Not against her straddling him too Minato smirked allowing Chifuyu to situated herself in his lap, her toned and firm ass pressing up against his harden erection covered in his and Tabane's combined essences.

"Hopefully Tabane didn't wear your stamina out already, Minato. After me you still have to fuck Shinonono over in the corner over there so don't burn out too quickly."

Chifuyu taunting the man she was currently straddling, an aggravating smile plastered on her lips staring down at Minato. The man in question simply chuckled in his usual pattern of three 'hehs'. Quietly moving his hands down Chifuyu's athletic and curvaceous body, he slowed his hands to fully appreciate his friend's body sculptured from years of training and playing various sports during their middle and high school years. He wrapped his arms securely around her waist.

"For you... never." He stated bringing himself up to a sitting position and kissing Chifuyu. She returned the kiss, gripping both of his shoulders and moaning as Minato's expert tongue entered her mouth engaging Chifuyu's tongue in a dominated french kiss.

Taking control of the situation again Chifuyu broke the kiss and pushed Minato down on the bed. Lying on his back, his smirk still visible on his face. Minato's steel-gray orbs held amusement, lust, pride, and love staring up at Chifuyu. Chifuyu returned his gaze with her own emotional eyes filled with love and care for him. She raised her hips up into the air over Minato's throbbing prick. She grasped the shaft and pressed the tip to her wet, virgin maidenhood. She released a soft, timid moan from their genitals rubbing up against one another.

Opening her amber eyes to a half-lidded stare, Chifuyu looked at Minato's gentle and caring eyes staring back at her. They both let out a heated moan together when Minato moved his hips up and rubbed against Chifuyu's lower lips. His member coated with Chifuyu's juices lubricating the head and first three inches of the shaft for easier penetration. Their eyes met together silently asking the other the demanding question.

"G-Go ahead, but slowly at first. It's my first time and you're not exactly small either." Chifuyu displayed her timid and reserved nature she hid behind her stoic and cold personality. She rarely showed this side of her because it showed her inner weakness, which she hates with a burning passion. However, on special occasions she will adopt this personal she has confessed she dislikes for her friends. Both Minato and Tabane have witnessed this side of her, with Minato seeing it more times than Tabane has.

"I'll be quick. I promise this will be the only pain I cause you." Minato pushed himself up to kiss Chifuyu's lips taking her mind away from the pain. Rubbing his shaft up against her lower lips lubricating himself more, he withdrew his hips then pushed forward into Chifuyu.

She released a pained yelp and tearful squeak as fresh tears spilled from her eyes, while blood stained the white sheets and her thighs from her virginity being taken from her. Minato closed his eyes not wishing to see Chifuyu's tearful expression he was responsible for, his hands massaged her hips and ass to take her focus from the pain she was experiencing.

His lips devouring and dominating her lips in a passionate and lustful kiss. Minato didn't slow down furiously kissing Chifuyu's lips leaving her stunned in pleasure with his ferocity and possessiveness when taking her lips with his own. Chifuyu having already recovered from the pain could do nothing but endure Minato's hunger of devouring her lips. She can only released pleasured mewls and gasps but they were quickly swallowed up by Minato.

Taking his mouth away from her lips Minato and Chifuyu engaged in a wanton french kiss, and Chifuyu was quickly dominated once more by Minato refusing to relinquish his dominance. Spit and saliva flew from their mouths, trailing down their bodies, or onto the sheets below them already stained with their different essences and blood.

Listening to Chifuyu's quiet and submissive mewls and coos leave her mouth Minato pulled himself away from her deletable lips, getting a disappointed sigh from the raven-haired woman lost in her pleasure and lust. Suppressing the chuckle in his throat and criticizing himself for not putting any cameras in the room to capture Chifuyu's expression.

"I'm going to move. When you're ready I will give you control—you can choose the tempo and speed you're comfortable with then."

Chifuyu nodded her head still speechless looking at Minato's lustful but caring, warm eyes staring up at her. They moved their heads close again for a kiss, this one more tamed than the previous one filled with wanton lust from Minato.

He began his thrusts slow and methodical, reeling in his emotions, reminding himself this was Chifuyu's first time. Wet, squishing sounds could be heard with every thrust Minato made into Chifuyu. The two childhood friends had their eyes closed in pleasure letting out soft pants and muted moans feeling their sexes massaging against each other.

Raising one of his arms up Chifuyu back, his index finger tracing the outline of her spine getting the needed reaction from Chifuyu aching her back. His eyes ogled at her bouncing breasts in front of him. While they looked delicious caked in sweat Minato ultimately ignored them like he did with Tabane's on their first night together. Reaching the top he grabbed the back of her head and hair, Minato brought his head close to hers for another kiss, which Chifuyu reciprocated.

Removing his lips again Minato fell backwards on his back and thrusted upwards with renewed strength and speed behind his hips. His hand palming the back of Chifuyu's head allowed him to push in two more inches inside Chifuyu getting up to seven inches of his length, with three inches still remaining outside of her. She let out a passionate moan feeling her walls welcoming more of Minato's thickness inside of her.

"So good. So good. You're amazing, Minato!"

"F-Fuck. Chifuyu, you need to release your grip. Your walls are crushing me." He had to change his mind about Tabane having the tightest vagina. Chifuyu was the undisputed winner in that regard of who's tighter. Every thrust into her was both a difficult task to accomplish given how much, and frequently she clenched her muscles. He was certain she was doing this to him on purpose, or Chifuyu wasn't the right person right now, and her random muscle spasm were just temporary.

"Don't stop! Don't stop! Don't stop! Keeping fucking me Minato!"

"Heh heh heh. As my lady commands me." Minato played around bringing the hand holding Chifuyu's head back to hold her waist. Her hips started to push back into his thrusts letting him know she was comfortable enough to lead. Lowering his hands down to palm Chifuyu's firm cheeks. The raven-haired woman ached her back jetting out her breasts to Minato's lustful gaze mesmerized with their bouncing then returning to their original perky form.

Chifuyu remained oblivious too far gone in her own pleasure to recognize Minato laying beneath her. Her hips continued to bounce on his lap, trying desperately to take the rest of his manhood inside her. Her raven tresses fixed in a ponytail caked with sweat stuck to her back. Chifuyu's eyes were empty except for the gleam of lust, which was the only indication Chifuyu was still awake.

Minato suppressed his first moan but released the second one after Chifuyu tighten her inner muscles again around his length. Her firm and toned ass will bounce on his lap providing a cushion impact on his pelvis and thighs enveloped in her flesh. Minato started to let out his own frequent moans at Chifuyu's eagerness to riding him like a stallion.

Normally Minato would always take the top position when having sex. His past conquests of his Sekireis told as much. But he didn't completely abhor the idea of letting his partner do the heavy lifting. Every full moon he'll give free rein to the woman, or women he was with complete control of him to do as they please. Chifuyu impaling herself repeatedly on his lap and his manhood in wanton abandonment showed he can tolerate taking orders, if only temporary.

Two minutes passed since he stopped his thinking and relax. Enjoying Chifuyu's eagerness in pleasuring him with her bouncing and lewd moans. Of course Minato wasn't entirely lazy in their dance, he was thrusting up meeting Chifuyu's downward bounce. Causing the older sister of Ichika to scream loudly, her eyes facing the ceiling above. Pass the lewd and wet skin-slapping, and juices splashing against their skins. Minato could detect his coming release in his balls and from his twitching member pulsating inside Chifuyu's walls. She must have regained her sanity again as she could feel his member's throbbing inside of her signaling he was close.

"You're close aren't you? You going to cum soon? You're penis is throbbing inside of me, which tells me you're close to cumming. Heh heh, you're not making a convincing face to deny your expected release."

Chifuyu's eyes gleamed with the combination of seduction, heat, and lust. Her amber eyes glisten with these three emotions in a half-lidded stare facing Minato. Her accusing eyes kept their gaze on Minato's face, as her hips continued to bounce recklessly on his pelvis. Their cocktail of juices spilling from their bodies coated their legs and thighs, and added an extra seductive quality to Chifuyu's mute panting telling Minato she was nearing her end as well.

Palming her ass and stopping her bounces on his pelvis. Minato pushed himself off the bed and rolled their bodies around, switching their positions with Minato now laying above Chifuyu. Widening her eyes recognizing she was on her back on the mattress now. Chifuyu held back a moan as Minato captured her lips for a passionate kiss.

Her hands gripped his shoulders bringing him closer to her body. Minato's hands caressed her curves and palmed her flaring hips. While Chifuyu didn't possess child-bearing hips like Tabane, he still enjoyed the feel of them in his hands.

Taking their lips away from each other Minato saw he was hovering over Chifuyu's body, his face lying over hers. His manhood still inside of her, he removed his left hand from her hips and placed it beside her right arm. Holding himself above Chifuyu connected at the hips, with his length buried inside her warmth. Their eyes looking at each other Minato pulled his hips back until only the tip remained inside of Chifuyu he pushed forward restarting their love-making.

Closing their eyes in pleasure at his penetration and renewed thrusts. Minato released a blissful groan, while Chifuyu let out a surprised gasp feeling Minato push seven inches of his member inside of her. Both childhood friends knew the other was close. From Minato's fast and short thrusts, and his groping of Chifuyu's left breast in his hand. Chifuyu started to meet Minato's forward thrusts into her warmth eliciting several breathless moans from the pair. She even started to play with herself to help her reach that desired release, her first one with the man she loves. Two fingers, her index and middle finger flicked, swiped, and pinched her clit causing her to scream in pleasure feeling her end was near.

The pair kissed passionately before removing themselves to stare deeply into the others eyes. Minato slowed his speed to talk with Chifuyu properly, it also served to stall his release.

"Chifuyu, yes, or no. Do you want to have a baby same as Tabane?"

Releasing a gasp both from his recent thrusts and his question. Chifuyu opened her lips prepared with a lie to tell Minato. However, the seriousness in his eyes staring back at her stopped her from lying to him. She couldn't explain it, she only knew that gazing into his eyes banished all doubt from her mind.

Nodding her head timidly, Chifuyu stared into friend's eyes filled with vulnerability as well as love.

"Hmmm... b-but not right now! I want to learn how to be a mother first, or at least until Ichika goes to college. T-Then I would mind having your child, Minato."

Smiling his true smile Minato lowered his head crashing his lips against Chifuyu's. The kiss was short but sweet. Removing himself from Chifuyu's lips he smiled and placed his forehead against hers for intimacy.

"You will make a wonderful mother someday. I know of it." Kissing her lips for the final time he pushed himself away again holding himself up by his arms this time. Chifuyu smiled wrapping her arms around Minato's forearms positioned on both sides of her head.

"It's my safe day today. Go ahead and fill me up. I want to feel you shoot your semen into my womb."

Unable to ignore her request Minato started to piston into Chifuyu in the missionary position. They both were close to their climaxes so a couple rough thrusts from Minato helped him and Chifuyu achieve their orgasms together. Minato growled and gritted his teeth together as he came. Chifuyu released a loud scream of pleasure as she released her juices mixing with Minato's semen.

Giving five soft thrusts into Chifuyu to empty his testicles, Minato pulled himself out of second childhood and sat on his ass next to her. Sparing a sideway glance at Chifuyu's head Minato found she was asleep, a small smile on her lips. Releasing a tired sigh from his lips, two down; one to go. Looking down at his cock he saw it was still very hard, and is throbbing going up and down.

Moving his head to the corner on the left half of the room where he spotted Houki standing against the wall. Her blush returned ten-fold catching his eyes on her, her mouth widened in shock and surprised, her eyes held doubt and disbelief towards herself, not to Minato as he stood up and walked to where she was. Standing in front Houki his gaze lingered on her soaked panties and her juices visible in the dark falling down her legs.

Framing her right cheek with his left hand he swept pass her skin once and caressed that cheek between his warm fingers. Houki's eyes focused on his face and his warm smile looking at her. She immediately forgot about her self-doubt feeling relief and rejuvenated in spirit from just his smile alone.

"Do you still want this? You've given me your word and blessing for me to love you. If you're having doubts about progressing further tell me now and we'll stop. Nothing will change between us after tonight should you choose to stop here. Remember that I will always love you, Houki."

Lowering his head down to Houki's height Minato kissed her lips. The young woman and little sister of Tabane released a moan at the kiss, however, she quickly reciprocated and grabbed Minato's face in her hands to deepen their kiss.

Effortlessly pulling himself away from Houki's strong grip. Opening her eyes to reveal smoldering dark blue orbs filled with love, care, respect, and a bit of lust. Houki brought her hands up and grasped his cheeks again. Standing on her toes Houki laid a gentle and sincere kiss to his lips. Pulling herself away still standing on her toes, the Miko princess confessed her true feelings to her older brother figure and the person she loves.

"...You're still worried about my safety and my well being. Isn't it too late to be asking about my desires after me and onee-chan gave you a double blowjob before? But I'm flattered and happy you're thinking about me and asking me if I still want to go all the way. Well since you asked, my answer is yes, Minato-nii-chan. I know onee-chan and Orimura-san loved you longer than me, but I've always had a crush on you since I was six, it wasn't until I turned ten that I knew I held genuine feelings for you. While I know there's a glaring age difference between us, and I know you don't care about a woman's looks and age, or the size of her breasts and everything... b-but if you're okay with how I look and behave normally. Can you love me like you do onee-chan and Orimura-san, please?"

Minato smiled at Houki, and the young woman returned his smile with a tearful one of her own. Minato silently wiped away the tears pooling around her eyes, his free hand brushed pass Houki's shoulder and stroked down her waterfall of dark violet hair. He loved women with long hair as a personal pleasure of his, he loved running his hand down their long tresses and using a brush to keep it straight and clean.

"Nothing will make me happier. And I like your personality and quirks they just makes you, you. That's what I love the most about you, Houki." Bringing her head close using the hand behind her head they kissed. The kiss was passionate and quickly evolving to something more as Minato led them back to the bed.

Since he and Houki are now officially a couple, he has decided to not use a suffix after her name anymore. Same thing with Tabane, however, he had already began calling her by her name without the suffix after it.

Having moved Tabane's and Chifuyu's sleeping bodies on one side of the bed. Which left the right half of the Queen bed for him and Houki. Said young woman blushed with embarrassed lying down on her back, her head resting on the pillows near the headboard behind her. But most of all having the man she loves and respects hovering on top of her body. His arms placed on either side of Houki's body, his lustful gaze ogling her sexy body wearing a white and lavender corset complete with garter belt and stockings.

His pupils would follow the rise and fall of her large breasts constrained behind the tight corset. Getting a better look at them now from every angle, not that he was purposely ogling Houki's tits before. It was a faint suspicion he had but Houki's breasts are probably bigger than her sister's by at least an extra two to three meters. Obviously he didn't know their three-sizes, and was only going by sight alone. Sure he can ask Tabane's for her three-sizes, Houki was a different matter; even if they're now dating she won't give him her three-sizes simply because he's curious about which of the Shinonono sisters has the bigger bust.

Then again Tabane might have Houki's personal information on file and up to date. There's a possibility that Tabane's sis-con obsession dives further to having sexual feelings towards Houki. He can't suppress these suspicions because he's a bro-con (not that he will admit it) and Yukari is one of his many lovers.

"...Minato-nii-chan...? Are you okay?"

Snapping out of his delusions about the Shinonono sisters possibly ending up as lesbian lovers in the future. Ignoring this thought all together Minato raised his head staring into Houki's concerned dark blue eyes fixated on his face.

"You were asking me what my desires were a moment ago. Do you not remember?"

"Sorry, Houki. My thoughts went somewhere and I ignored our previous discussion." Minato apologies putting on regretful smile but lets out several chuckles from the pout and minor glare coming from Houki.

"You're working yourself too hard. You need to sleep in your bed early and more often. You're health will only get worse if you continue this lifestyle, Minato-nii-chan."

She chastise the man older than her by six years. It was an adorable sight to witness seeing how he's hovering over her body in the missionary position. Yet Houki can chastise him if that wasn't the case. However, Houki did released a screech and blushed at her panties being discarded by Minato. Taking off the belts connecting her underwear to the garter belt Minato slowly slid the white panties Houki was wearing down her mile-long legs. He stopped his hands to savor the image of her panties going down Houki's toned legs and muscled thighs she acquired from her demanding training of kendo.

"I do recall those being my exact words. But I'm still at a loss on what I was thinking of before. Ah, it must not be important if I can't remember it." He stopped speaking just as he finished removing Houki's white panties. Sliding them off her feet he tossed them to the corner behind him. Staring down at Houki, Minato grinned and examined her body, he decided to let her keep the corset unless she removes it herself. "Then allow me to repeat my question from before. What are your desires, Houki?"

Minato's grinned widened gazing at Houki's bottomless crotch. Spying her patch of dark violet pubic hair sitting above her virgin maidenhood, leaking her essences and staining the sheets on the bed. Feeling embarrassed Houki cupped both of her breasts with her hands sitting on top of her bra-clad breasts. Her red blush increased in color and density feeling intimidated beneath Minato's cunning and playful storm-gray eyes.

Stroking his manhood he positioned the tip outside Houki's lower lips, he rubbed the tip against her petals coating the mushroom head in her juices. Spurts of leftover cum shot out of the tip hitting Houki's thighs and mixing along with her essences for proper lubrication.

"They can be anything? Like what do you want to be... do you wish to go to college and get a degree? Do you want to play in the professional league of the sport of your choosing. Or perhaps something more intimate such as starting a family and getting married?"

While he was talking Minato was successful in entering Houki's maidenhood and taking her virginity. Since he was asking a question for Houki to think about and answer. She didn't cry, or react in pain at the loss of her virginity. She gave a soft squeak and her expression morphed to one of pain. What Minato doesn't know is Houki had broke her hymen during her training at home a year ago, however, she was still a virgin.

Tears of longing pain and joy pooled around Houki's dark blue eyes. She gave an equal hurt and prideful smile to Minato feeling his member inside of her and twitching erratically. Looking down at the recently deflowered young woman's face. Minato was surprised she wasn't screaming in pain he expected she would be doing at the loss of purity. It didn't mattered because he spared her from horrible pain and the way her inner muscles gripped his length was an amazing sensation.

"I-I want... aghh. I want to become a veterinarian to care for all animals There's, always small animals like squirrel, birds, rabbits, and lost dogs that appear around the shrine back home. I-I want to learn, aghhh, how to treat them and take care of them when they... get sick." Houki's speech started to get chopping with Minato starting up his thrusts into her wet mound. Both man and woman moaned together, and one after the other with Minato's hips picking up speed.

"Heh, *sigh* anything else?"

"T-The Olympic team! Ohh, uuu... tou-san and kaa-san suggested I should, try-out for the Japanese olympic team. They say- hahhhh, ngh. They told me I will be recruited in a heartbeat. Mmhmm, I thought about this, and I think I have what it takes, ngh-. To make the team."

"I-Interesting, hahaha- fuck. I-I'll have a reason to watch the o-olympics again! If you're accepted to the t-team, ahhh."

While their friendly conversation continued face-to-face. Minato increased his speed, angling his thrusts to perform a see-saw motion. It held promise with already getting a reaction from Houki moaning. Bringing his head closer to have their foreheads touch. Houki grasped his hands with hers, their fingers entwined together intimately. Their panting breath framing their partner's faces Minato crashed his lips to Houki's engaging Tabane's little sister in another passionate kiss.

Breaking away he asked for her to continue letting out a moan near the end of his sentence.

"M-My last w-wish is that, I get married and start a family, with the man I love!" She screamed at his angled thrust poking her stomach and stretching out her walls to fit only his cock.

"L-Lucky me. T-Then I want at least... two kids-. A boy and a g-girl, ahhh. That sound f-fair... Houki-!"

"Y-Yes! Minato-nii-chan... mmhmm... I want to get pregnant with your baby like onee-chan, but I want to wait until I get older. When I'm older, can you-. Please make me a mother? Ah, so good."

"Shit Houki, you're too tight! O-Okay, I'll give you a child for you to spoil w-when your ready to have, one. Y-You'll make a fantastic mother, Houki!"

The lovers were lost, drowning in pleasure. Minato sped up his thrusts to a jack-hammer's speed going to town inside Houki. The Shinonono Miko cried out in pleasure reaching her end very soon. Minato wasn't so far off himself. Their hands joined together intimately, entwined as they rode out their orgasm together in hand.

"Fuck. You're so tight. I won't last much longer with your, insane grip on my shaft." Minato grunted trying hold back his orgasm until Houki announces hers. He lowered his head down and buried his face into her sweaty neck. He increased his grip on their conjoined hands at Houki tightening her muscles surrounding his shaft.

"Don't hold back. I'm not that little girl you always protected anymore. Come inside me and make me yours, Minato-nii-chan!"

"Heh heh heh, all mine. You, your s-sister, and Chifuyu. You three belong to me and are mine forever."

Minato finished shouting out his release into Houki's skin, she screamed in agreement to Minato's possessive claim of her, Tabane, and Chifuyu and came hard next to Minato. Their fingers still entwined caused their knuckles to turn white from the intensity of their grip. Between their legs Minato pumped his hips repeatedly into Houki's warm tunnel pumping her full of his cum. Houki still had her contraceptives active meaning she won't become pregnant from Minato coming inside of her.

For a full two minutes no words were spoken between them, except for their breathing returning to normal from their intense and simultaneous orgasms. Their fingers stayed entwined, with Houki's grip loosening, looking up from her sweat coated neck he spotted a passed out Houki wearing a blissful smile on her lips. Her expression showed sincerity and fulfillment.

Giving a smile seeing her at peace Minato raised his body up and laid a gentle kiss to Houki's forehead then a loving one to her lips. Upon removing his lips from hers, he heard her disappointed coon in her sleep. Shaking his head at her antics he untangled their fingers. Pushing his hands onto the bed Minato slowly and gently removed his cock from the sleeping Houki's warmth.

Sitting on his knees in front of Houki, who's body unconsciously moved to lie on her right arm. She released a satisfied cooed with her blissful smile widening on her lips. Minato watched her loving visage for about a minute before returning his eyes down to his earlier predicament.

Standing erect, covered in a multitude of different liquids and sticky fluids with some being his own creating a cocktail of his semen and three different women's essences. Sometimes Minato cursed his outer-worldly stamina, sure he can't fight and have sex for hours but when the latter is complete and he's out of sex partners, usually leaves him to deal with his erection with his own hand.

Standing up from the bed Minato gently picked up Houki and created a second clone to pull away the comforters and sheets. Placing Houki back on the naked bed, taking the black wool blanket from his clone's arms, Minato threw the blanket over Houki's body and wrapped her tightly in it. Brushing aside a fringe covering her eyes he kissed her forehead and walked towards the door.

'After I take another shower to clean myself of the smell and different liquids drying around my thighs. And once I deal with my erection refusing to go down I'll return back to my room and go to bed. I can always check the stock and talk with Nobushige in the morning.' Minato's right cybernetic hand gripped the doorknob and twisted it clockwise, when two seductive and sultry voices whispered behind him.

"Minato / Mina-kun~."

Turning his body to the left looking back towards the bed. The sight his eyes laid themselves on couldn't be described by words alone but it's best to make a solid effort than give up.

Wide awake wearing seductive smiles on their lips, and lewd eyes burning passionately with lust and horny desire. Their positions were different but equally effective in arousing Minato. His harden and erect manhood started to throb and twitch with desire looking at Tabane and Chifuyu. Starting with his favorite little bunny girl Tabane was on all fours with one arm covering her breasts and nipples from his view. Next was Chifuyu lying down on her left side, her left hand pressed against her cheek holding up her head lazily. While her other hand ran across her hips, back, and finally resting on her firm ass drawing circles on her skin. Taking the hand holding her head up Chifuyu brought that hand to fondle her breasts to entice Minato.

She succeeded in winning his attention. Chifuyu and Tabane were devious vixens using their womanly figures and seductive charms to make him, the "Demon King", fall prey to their spell.

"Leaving so soon~?"

Again their on-point unison voice over was completely unfair. They both already have his attention with their sexy positioning and bedroom eyes staring hotly back at him.

Forming a smirk on his lips Minato's eyes darken with lust and want hiding behind his bangs casting a shadow over them. Taking his hand away from the doorknob his desires to take a shower and go to sleep were deleted from his mind. Turning his body a complete one-hundred and eighty. He walked forwards towards the bed, where Chifuyu and Tabane crawled to meet him at the edge of the bed.

Their night of "fun" having only just began.

Done.

I've come to the realization that I write too much. Nothing wrong in admitting my faults but this chapter was suppose to be written as a shorter entry. About 20k was my prediction, in reality it's exceeded nearly 50k, or half of a hundred this one.

Because of my long entries and detailed paragraphs I tend to go pass the minimums I set for my stories. Several readers have commented on this problem I have and I've taken their words in opinion to make this tough decision that has been plaguing my thoughts for two weeks. This chapter will be my final lengthy chapter until a special, or the end of one of my stories. This will serve as an experiment for me to gauge my audience's reactions to shorter chapters.

And to test my resolve to not over extend my paragraphs and words I'm frequent to do in all of my stories.

As you have no doubt already read in Assassin's Journal, or hearing it first here. I'll repeat the news a second time. That I'll be updating Crimson Darkness and Date a Sekirei simultaneously together. I've been receiving a fair amount of messages and reviews about the nature of these two stories. Well wait no longer. Both entries should take no longer than a month and a few weeks in between so expect a update on Assassin's Journal later in September.

Happy Birthday to me if you're paying attention to the date this story was first uploaded and from reading my profile.
