Alright I'm back and I've looked at the reviews and are happy with the outcome.

So keep on reviewing, as for Minato being OP he baisically is but sometime in the next chapter or two he'll meet some people who can give him a run for his money. Also as for the flashbacks I will have one in maybe the next chapter or two as well.

But enough of that without further ado here's the next chapter.

Xx Line Break xX

When Minato awoke he was mildly surprised at his position. Karasuba and Yume were exactly as they were last night while Akitsu was mimicking Karasuba just on his right side. Musubi meanwhile had wrapped her arms around his waist and was slightly drooling. Minato relaxed after a moment and attempted to figure out how to get out of this. He briefly glanced at the clock showing it was 0430 or four thirty in the morning.

Minato managed to wiggle himself out of his Sekirei's death grips and replaced his body with a pillow. He idly noted that Akitsu was wearing one of his t-shirts that hung a little low on her and also had a pair of athletic shorts. Musubi wore her bloomers and white t-shirt. Minato quietly exited the room to perform his daily rituals and prepare breakfast. Minato quickly entered the bathroom and performed his morning routine before walking down the hallway with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist.

His upper body held several scars the most prominent one was located on his back it was a large scar that went from his right shoulder to his lower back. There was also one that was on his left side that curled around to his back. There were several other scars from other blades that marred his skin. On his abdomen was a large portion of skin that looked like burned skin that had healed but would always be a different color than the rest of his skin. On his chest on his left side was a tattoo of the pentagram that would appear in his eyes at times but the tattoo was black in color not neon blue.

Minato once again entered his room and noticed only a half an hour passed since he had awakened. Minato began changing first throwing on some boxers, a pair of olive drab cargo jeans, a black t-shirt, and of course his military jacket. Minato quickly exited just as quietly as he did before and this time headed for the kitchen. Minato went about preparing eggs, juice, and some steamed rice along with several other foods.

Nearly an hour later the food was all done and sitting on the table waiting to be eaten. Minato meanwhile sat at the head of the table sipping on some tea he had made. Not even a moment later the Sekirei staying at the house came stumbling in in various states of dress. Miya was dressed up in a pair of sweat pants and t-shirt. Matsu was dressed in nothing but a pair of white frilly panties and a matching bra.

Kazehana just had a large t-shirt that went to her mid thighs along with a purple pair of panties. Benitsubasa had on a pair of pink pair of panties along with a small black t-shirt. Haihane was wearing her tattered kimono along with her bandages. Minato's own Sekirei came in with Karasuba wearing a black pair of baggy pants, and a sleeveless black shirt, her hair was done up in her normal pony tail. Yume wore a black thigh length skirt, a black top and a pair of black fingerless gloves. Musubi was still in her bloomers and her white t-shirt along with her red fighting gloves. Akitsu meanwhile was already in her normal outfit.

All the women stopped in the doorway and gazed at the food before blinking and looking at Minato who was sitting at the table drinking tea with his normal emotionless face. Then back to the food and back to Minato. Musubi and Akitsu already somewhat used to their Ashikabi's habit of sneaking out sat down on either side of Minato. Karasuba sat next to Musubi and Yume sat next to Akitsu while the other Sekirei took their places before digging into the food.

It took little time for the food to disappear and afterwards Minato again left to clean the dishes. "There are bathrooms at the end of the hall on the main floor." Minato informed them; he left them all to go do their own morning rituals while he finished cleaning up. Once he was done he discovered the Sekirei still hadn't finished their own rituals even though a half an hour had passed meaning it was six in the morning.

Minato decided to get some practice in going to where he kept all his weapons and retrieving a few knives and a katana. The katana had a spiral like guard and the hilt was wrapped in blood red cloth. The scabbard was black with several etchings of symbols carved onto its surface. Minato grabbed the sword and headed for the back yard. Once there he began to practice his katas and flowing through the familiar motions while his mind wondered off somewhere.

Minato stood in the middle of the yard while several leaves fell around him. Minato quickly drew his blade and sliced four leaves in half before sheathing his sword and did it again each time he would draw his blade it became faster and faster. Normal humans would normally only see a blur but to mages and Sekirei they would have seen the blade move fast.

After practicing for a while Minato sheathed the blade and was about to walk away before a sudden feeling came over him. He had the strangest desire to go over to the tree in the yard and touch it. He walked over to the tree and knelt before it and hesitantly reached out to touch it. On contact with the tree he suddenly wasn't in his backyard anymore and was now in what seemed a jungle or a forest, it reminded him too much of Vietnam and everything had a green tint to it.

Then a small sound reached his ears, it sounded eerily familiar, that's when he realized the sound. It was the sound of a child weeping and crying, he had seen and heard enough of it from children that had been dragged from their parents and thrust into the military. He located the general direction of the sound before heading towards it through the dense jungle. Firefly's floated around the area like little light beacons and exotic plants that he could never hope to name were dotting the entire area.

He was thrust out of his observations by the loud sound of weeping coming above him. He looked up and saw a small figure hunched down on a branch about twelve feet off the ground. The figure was an adolescent by the sound of their voice and their size, maybe an eight year old. The figure wore a white dress and had dirty blonde or straw colored hair that went to their waist. Finally deciding to end the sound of the girls crying Minato spoke up.

"Why do you cry?" Minato asked the person, said person turned around revealing a small girls face with big bright green eyes that had small tear stains that were wiped away from her face by her hands. The girl was about eight years old and she still had that look of innocence that all young mages once had, even Minato had it, before they had it knocked out of them by war and death. "Kuu's sad." The girl spoke up with a quiet shy and timid voice. "Why are you sad?" Minato again questioned her. The girl had tears brimming at her eyes and for some reason that made Minato mad. "It's all Kuu's fault, she wanted to stay outside but Takami-san said we should go inside, but Kuu wanted to stay a little longer and Takami let Kuu stay outside for a while longer."

The girl paused before wiping the tears from her eyes and then continuing. "Then a mean man and girl came by and ordered Takami to give me to him." Minato's eyes narrowed. "Takami-san refused, then the girl took a scythe and hit Takami, Takami told Kuu to run but before Kuu could run she was stopped by the mean boy. He said he was going to add Kuu to his collection and become Kuu'sAshikabi. Kuu didn't feel anything and Kuu asked her friends to help her."

'What friends?' Minato thought to himself. "So the trees came and pushed the mean people away and, then my friend took me away." Minato glanced around and then it clicked. "You're a Sekirei." Minato stated and the apparent Kuu nodded her head before nervously looking down, Minato noticing this held his arms out as if to catch her. "Jump." He said in a slightly warm tone which was reserved for those he truly cared for.

The girl briefly hesitated before leaping down into the seventeen year olds arms and wrapping her arms around his neck. Minato held the girl close to his person, Kuu meanwhile sniffled a bit before leaning back and looking at Minato. "What is your name?" Minato asked the girl curious if it was just Kuu or something else. "Kusano." Minato nodded his head. "That's a very good name Kusano-sama."

The girl blushed slightly at the praise before looking at him. "Come save me Onee-chan." Minato looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "I'm waiting for you, Onee-chan, please save me." Then she started to become intangible and floated away from Minato, Minato raised his arm towards her and Kuu kept on repeating for him to save her. Then he was back in the yard still kneeling and still alone. Wondering what happened, he put it away for later before heading towards his bedroom to prepare for the rest of the day.

Inside his bedroom he found the bed unmade and untidy while everything seemed normal. Then he noticed the knife he had drawn on Karasuba the night before lying on the floor. Minato walked over and picked the knife up before finding its sheath underneath his pillow. Sheathing the knife he set it on his dresser before making the bed straightening out the covers, smoothing out all the wrinkles, and putting the pillows back in place.

Once done Minato set out to his living room and turning on the TV and watching the news as they talked about the massive growth of vegetation at the arboretum. Apparently MBI had placed guards about it and kept a constant barricade around the place. Minato felt something was off about the whole thing but put it in the back of his mind for the moment. Haihane and Benitsubasa both entered the living room and found Minato sitting on his couch while watching the TV.

Both Haihane and Benitsubasa were dressed up in their normal clothes except Haihane was missing her claws that were set up against the wall along with the other Sekirei's weapons. Minato looked over to see both Sekirei standing there, before gesturing for them to take a seat. Both Sekirei took seats around the living room. Haihane took a seat on the floor in front of Minato but with her back against the couch nearly right below the mage. Benitsubasa on the other hand took a seat next to Minato while leaning back on the arm of the couch while propping her feet up on Minato's lap.

Minato paid no mind to the action; instead he paid attention to the news as it continued on about the Economy and also a recent addition being the disassembly of the militaries of several nations. These nations that were being militaristically disabled were small and barely powerful countries. Minato also knew what the 'disassembly' really meant. It meant that the larger nations or countries with bigger militaries were taking the magicians of the smaller nations and incorporating the rest of the military into their own.

While most mages were returned to their native countries like Minato, others stayed in the military willingly, Minato would have done so but he was too young to do so. Currently there were several countries that were superpowers. Japan, Britain, America, and Russia, Russia had only recently gained several mages after their demilitarization. The Middle East was currently a war zone with Russia battling the natives and winning so they would have that along with what remained of northern China, North Korea and several other inland countries of Asia. Britain had set up their alliances with the remaining countries of Europe.

The European front went all the way to Poland meaning they were literally on Russia's doorstep. America Meanwhile had not been idle, Mexico, Brazil and most of South America was occupied by them due to several wars between them. Canada remained in Britain's control; America's economy had skyrocketed due to the wars and its expansion. Japan controlled all of southern China, South Korea and Vietnam.

Japan had a smaller military than most countries but they went by the rule of Quality over Quantity meaning while most countries armies were larger, Japan's soldiers were better trained and their mages a better breed.

While the news rolled by forecasting a nice day Minato's hands had developed a mind of their own and found their way to Benitsubasa's feet. Benitsubasa felt a jolt of electricity course through her body when Minato touched her feet making her shutter.

A heat rose to her cheeks as he began to massage her feet and she felt her heartbeat rise as well. His hands seemed to work magic, no pun intended, and made her turn to goo. She let out a low moan as Minato hit a certain hot spot. Haihane curious as to what was going on behind her turned around and met a sight she could barely believe.

Her partner Benitsubasa the slightly sadistic/crazy teenager that would beat the shit out of anyone if they made one comment about her or they looked at her wrong was currently breathing heavily, with a large stain of red on her cheeks, and letting out small moans periodically as Minato gave her a foot Massage. Haihane then turned to Minato noticing his eyes never left the TV and seemed to do all this without even noticing.

While she studied his face she became aware of a slight warmth in her chest at the sight of him. She took a small sniff and could smell him from her small distance away from him. He smelled of various odors she could distinguish some but not others. She could smell sweat, various smells of food, steel, and an underlying tone of blood that had her shivering.

But she also noticed the heat in her chest had spread out through her body and her being. She then realized something, she was reacting to Minato, and she couldn't believe it. She had been told throughout her life she would probably never meet her Ashikabi before they threw her and the others out in favor of the system. Now here she was days after being thrown out and she had met him and he wasn't bad looking either. He had a slight ruggedness to him, his cold grey eyes could warm up a bit though and he needed to learn emotion but she bet that the other Sekirei and she could fix that eventually.

Before she could react to her feelings and instincts to kiss him she was knocked out of it by the sound of Miya calling them for practice. Benitsubasa also shot up, after what happened last time they skipped out on a session she never skipped again, both Haihane and Benitsubasa shivered at the memory. They both rose albeit a little unwillingly, but a small remembrance of the 'discipline' Miya had given them was enough to get their asses in gear and move.

Minato was jolted out of his thoughts on the news by the sound of Miya's voice calling the other Sekirei for practice in his backyard. He idly noted that Haihane and Benitsubasa both had slight almost unnoticeable tinges of pink on their cheeks before gunning for the backyard. Minato went to the back porch of his home and sat down as he watched all the Sekirei including his own in the backyard. All had them had changed since this morning into their normal outfits, except Musubi who wore her bloomers and white shirt along with her gloves.

Matsu though was also on the porch though she had her computer with her. He had met several people through his life that fought using computers in place of knives, swords, guns, and magic, he also remembered how useful they were at gaining information for him to use to his advantage. He turned his attention back to the yard and watched as Yume instructed Musubi on how to fight better while Akitsu worked with her element while Karasuba sharpened her sword. The other unwinged Sekirei practiced with each other and went through spars; all except Miya who he could've sworn was there a minute ago.

Then he sensed a presence behind him and to his left. Looking over his left shoulder he saw Miya walk over to him with her sword on her hip and wearing her disciplinary squad clothes. The purple haired beauty stopped a foot or so away from Minato before bowing to him slightly. "Thank you for allowing us to stay here Minato-san. I hope it is all right for us to practice here in your yard." Minato bowed his head to her slightly. "You are most welcome to stay Miya-sama, and I do not mind that you practice here."

Miya was slightly surprised by the 'Sama' suffix, but shrugged it off for now. "Thank you Minato-san, we'll try not to cause too much damage." Minato nodded his head before heading inside to find anything to do. After cleaning up the entire house and straightening up all the beds and futons in the house Minato decided to sharpen his knives and swords as well as clean his few guns. And that's how Minato winded up inside his small armory sitting on the floor polishing a pistol.

The familiar act of cleaning his weapons put his mind at ease from the last few days of the whole Sekirei business. He absentmindedly put the gun down in its holster before picking up a large knife and sharpening it. The entire business confused him slightly; he didn't really understand women all that much due to his upbringing in the military, his body wanted to one thing while his mind told him to do the other. All in all he felt agitated and more than ready to leave the city once and for all, but something kept him there, it was in truth these utterly confusing feelings he had for his Sekirei. One part of his mind urged him to stay with them and figure out what was happening but his other half of his mind told him to leave them and flee the city with all possible haste and get to another country.

So at this point he was arguing with himself over all of these pointless things. Sooner than he would've liked he found himself alone in the armory with all of his weapons clean and sharpened. Minato didn't know what urged him to, but he began to attach several blades all over his person. A medium sized knife attached to his right calf, a set of smaller knives in his pockets, and a large knife inside of his jacket along with many others. He didn't understand why he felt the need only something that he could call a gut feeling.

Then the memory of Kuu came to him and he clenched his fist to the point his knuckles were white, something had scared her and it made Minato angry for some reason that he couldn't fathom. He wondered where she was then he remembered how she had mentioned the trees coming to save her and the news about the arboretum came to mind.

Minato stepped out of the room and locked it behind him; he was going to investigate the arboretum and find out if Kuu was there or not, and so went to his room to put on some socks. From there he proceeded to the door, he noticed that it was night time as the sun had set and the stars and moon had blinked into existence. He couldn't find his Sekirei anywhere inside the house, when he reached the dining room he found a note on the table.

"Dear Minato-san

Miya and the others wanted to go out for a bit and look around so Musubi, Karasuba, and Akitsu and I volunteered to show them around. We'll be back in a few hours.

Sincerely Yume"

Minato read the note before shrugging and walked over to his living room, before he could though his cellphone buzzed in his pocket, Minato picked his cellphone up and opened a text message from MBI.

"Dear Ashikabi's we have a special event going on right now. The green girl is holding up in the arboretum currently she is up for grabs and anyone and everyone is invited. Have fun!-The game Master."

Minato felt pissed. Minaka may have just ended Kuu by inviting everyone and their brothers along with their Sekirei to grab Kuu for themselves. Minato set the phone down before rushing to throw on a pair of boots and dashed out the door for the arboretum at break neck speed. Unnoticed by him his eyes had the pentagram in them and below his gloves was a glowing Pentagram with the strange script around it. He dashed down the streets and headed to where the spotlights shot into the sky illuminating the mass of trees and the surrounding area, when he came to a dead end he simply jumped up to the eight story buildings roof with a seal appearing beneath his foot before he propelled himself up. From there he dashed from roof to roof with little standing in his way.

Finally when he stood in front of the arboretum he was faced with APC's, armed soldiers, Humvee's with .50 caliber machine guns, and a row of barricades. Minato lowered his head as he walked towards the guards of the jungle. He removed his gloves and put them in his pockets not noticing that the pentagram was an angry red. As he approached several of the guards made note of him and two went to stand in front of him.

"Sir, this area is off limits you need to turn back or we will use force." One of them stated, an officer judging by his uniform. Good he just found his first target, meanwhile the guards noticed something about the man that was approaching them, his hair shadowed his eyes but a red glow was coming from that shadow.

Minato flexed his hands and kept walking at a sedate pace. The guard raised his gun at Minato's face and just before he fired Minato seemed to disappear, then he reappeared inside of his guard and an open palm with a glowing pentagram in his face. With a blast a red laser like beam the guards head exploded in a red mist. The other guard couldn't react in time before Minato's other arm lashed out and drove a small knife into his skull.

The other guards could only stare at Minato as their comrades bodies fell to the ground lifeless and one without a head. They snapped out of their trance as Minato threw two more knives at them hitting a machine gunner in the throat and another of the officers in the eye. The others all pulled out their guns and a few brought out grenades while the APC's turrets whirled to lock onto Minato. Then the guards fired, rockets from the APC's joined the grenades in a massive explosion that rocked the buildings and streets of the nearby neighborhoods.

All the guards waited with baited breath before sighing. Nothing could survive that, right? Then they caught a glow from their peripheral vision as they started to turn away from the explosion. They looked on with growing horror as the dust cleared Revealing Minato standing in the crater with his hand raised up with a large glowing blue pentagram with strange script circling it, his seal, in the air. The seal shrunk to his palm and glowed brighter while Minato smiled a cruel evil like smile. "Analyze existence, and release."
From Minato's palm came a red beam that swept itself in a semicircle at the guards head level. Each time the beam hit a head it exploded like a melon does when hit by a high explosive round. Meaning there was nothing left but a stump. Seven guards fell to the ground headless and spewing blood all over the ground while the others just stood in shock even the other guards in the APC's.

Minato raised his head to look at them, and what they saw made their blood run cold. Inside of Minato's eyes was a bright blue pentagram that glowed with a red light. Minato then disappeared before reappearing on top of a building. Minato held his right hand out with his palm facing downward towards the unfortunate guards. In the middle of the air Minato's seal appeared, a few of the guards tried to run away from the terror, Minato saw fit to rectify that. The seal suddenly shot a red laser into the ground, when the laser struck in the midst of the guards it exploded with the power of several missiles.

When the cloud of dust and debris cleared it revealed the guards all dead and their vehicles trashed. The edges of the buildings and the gates to the overrun gardens glowed bright orange and red from the heat of the blast. The front entrance was gone the gate had been destroyed by the blast leaving nothing baring his way. The guards that attempted to run were nothing but burned copses that stained the ground.

The seal in Minato's eyes and hands disappeared and Minato himself staggered for a second before jumping down to the street landing with a grunt and in the crouched position. He slowly rose up and walked through the carnage and the mass of dead bodies and burned skeletons that were the bodies of the guards in the blasts epicenter.

The vehicles were torn apart and thrown a ways down the streets or into the jungle; he could see small fires spreading even now. Minato walked through the jungle briskly trying to find his way to Kuu, all he had was a gut feeling that told him the general direction. He followed the feeling and eventually found himself in a clearing with exotic trees and flowers surrounding its edges.

Minato stopped as a group of people landed in the clearing. One was a man with messy silver colored hair and grey eyes. He is equipped with a sword. His outfit consists of black pants and a long sleeved shirt of the same color. The shirt is open in the front, stopping just a few inches below his solar plexus, with crisscrossing bands of leather forming an 'X'. He wore black fingerless gloves and an orange scarf around his neck.

The next person was a woman with brown hair and eyes, wearing a black gown with matching gloves and stockings. Around her neck she tied a red ribbon. She held a scythe in her hands and seemed to look at Minato as if he was nothing more than a bug, not worthy of her time. The next person of their group was a woman with silver colored hair, grey eyes and wearing a white dress, a white mist seemed to spread around her as she stared at Minato with curiosity. The second to last person of the group was a young blonde haired girl with blue eyes, her long blonde hair was done up in pigtails and she had a whip at her side. She wore a yellow Chinese dress and brown boots along with white gloves.

The last member of the group was a boy with short brown hair dressed in an expensive looking set of white clothes; he had brown eyes that looked at Minato with curiosity, He was currently latched onto the sword carrying mans' back.. Minato stared back at them as well. "So, who are you?" The boy asked as the three other people watched Minato closely. "Sahashi Minato." The boy raised an eyebrow at him, the grey haired man seemed to study Minato's jacket like something about it made him uncomfortable.

"Is that it? Why are you here?" The boy pressed on, intent to find out why the man was there, was he a Sekirei? An Ashikabi? Or just some poor fellow who wondered in by mistake. Minato narrowed his eyes at the boy. The kid asked too many questions and in the Military Minato learned that you do not answer people's questions unless they were your superior. And this kid was not his superior. When Minato refused to answer the boy frowned. "Well I don't know about you dear sir but I'm Mikogomi and I'm here to add the Sekirei in here to my collection."

Minato's hand clenched when he heard the boy start spouting things about Kuu and adding her to his 'collection' did this kid think it was all a game? Then again he probably did, when Minato had worked for the government he had been used as a pawn like in a game. That's what it was to the generals of the armies, to the leaders of countries, just a stupid fucking game!

Before Minato could do anything else a voice resounded through the forest. "Haahahahahaha! That's funny; you see we're here to make sure that the Sekirei here gets to our Ashikabi." Looking towards the voice Minato and the others were treated to the sight of several others entering the glade.

The first was is a tall woman with long dark green hair and blue eyes. She wears a blue and white tight belly-top, revealing quite some cleavage, which displays the Sekirei Crest on her left breast. Dark long gloves, stockings hold by a garter over her bloomers and thigh length boots complement her appearance. Next was a girl wearing a one piece yellow and black dress she had brown colored hair and eyes. The next woman had blonde short hair. She was wearing a black leather top up from her belly and leather bloomers and stockings.

There were several other people with them including a man with black shaggy hair, and black calculating eyes. He wore a pair of glasses and a business suit. Flanking each side of the man were people in black suits wearing sunglasses and Minato recognized them. 'So these are Higa's people, and I'm guessing the more wildly dressed people are Sekirei.' Minato thought to himself.

"Who are you and what do you mean? The green girl is mine!" Mikogomi spoke furiously borderline yelling. The green haired woman bristled. "Listen up you little shit! Higa-sama has claimed the Sekirei as his own and you can't do jackshit about it!" Minato looked between the two parties and had a feeling he should get ready to run.

Mikogomi's people bristled themselves at hearing the woman insult their master. The two sides looked like they could start a war right about now and Minato was caught in the crossfire. 'Wouldn't be the first time and most likely not the last either.' Minato thought to himself. Before the two sides could start killing each other four people jumped down in front of Minato. When Minato caught sight of them he could only stare.

There in front of him was Musubi, Akitsu, Haihane andBenitstubasa. The first two he could understand but Haihane and Benitstubasa, he didn't get it. Now it was the other two sides turn to stare at Minato and the four Sekirei in front of him. "Minato-san!"Musubi practically shouted when she looked at him. Akitsu had relief in her eyes at the sight of her Ashikabi un-harmed as did the last two of their group.

Haihane had her claws on and the others were equipped in the gear they'd normally fight in. "What are you guys doing here?" Minato asked them and Akitsu held out his phone. "Ah….you dropped this and we found the message on it so we came to help you." Akitsu supplied and Musubi was nodding enthusiastically. "I can understand that but why are you two here?" Minato said while taking his phone from Akitsu.

Haihane and Benitstubasa both blushed a bit and mumbled some half assed excuses. While all this went on the other two sides gained tick marks on their heads as Minato continued to ignore them. "Hey! We're about ready to fight to the death over here and we're going to kill you too so stop ignoring us!" The one with the scythe yelled while the others both on Higa's and Mikogomi's side nodded their agreement.

Minato glared at them and before he could speak out against them he found his lips covered by a pair of soft lips that tasted vaguely of strawberries. When he regained his sense of awareness he found out it was Benitstubasa who had kissed him and she was looking at him with love and adoration in her eyes. "Sekirei 105 Benitstubasa yours now and forever." The crimson red wings that had cocooned them slowly faded away while she spoke.

Before he could think of a response his lips were covered by yet another pair of lips that tasted of vanilla. This time he was able to discern it was Haihane quicker. She pulled back and looked at him the same way Benitstubasa did and her normally emo like appearance seemed to brighten up a bit. "Sekirei 104 yours now and forever." The pair of blue Sekirei wings that had sprung from her back slowly receded and disappeared all together. Minato looked at the two as they both had blushes across their faces.

"Well, that happened." Mikogomi supplied and his Sekirei nodded. "Uh, what now?"Asked the scythe wielder. The green haired woman shrugged. "Death match?" Both sides seemed to think about it before shrugging like 'Why the hell not?' "Death match." They all agreed, Minato quickly found his lips covered by Musubi and Akitsu while the other two sides debated what to do. "What now?" Haihane asked as she looked at the two other sides. "We need to find Kuu." Minato murmured.

"Who?"Benitsubasa asked with a raised eyebrow. "The Sekirei in here, we need to find her." Akitsu nodded her head and Musubi smiled happily and nodded as well. Haihane gave a shrug while Benitstubasa raised an eyebrow before shrugging and turning to face the enemy. "I need you guys to stall them for as long as you can. Do not take unnecessary risks and stick together or at least in teams of two. While you all are engaging the enemy I'll find Kuu and then we pull out. Am I clear?"

"Ah…yes Minato-sama." Akitsu replied while a small veil of frost decorated the ground around her. Musubi nodded her head affirmative and smiled. "Musubi can't wait to fight someone strong." She cheered. Haihane flexed her claws and Benitstubasa cracked her knuckles. "I guess it would be good to garner some experience." Benitstubasa said while smiling menacingly and Haihane had a small ghost of a smile on her lips.

"Good, good luck and don't die." Minato said and while his voice was a monotone that conveyed nothing they could all feel a small tinge of worry for their wellbeing and they unconsciously sent over feelings of reassurance to alleviate him of his worries. Minato stared at them a moment longer before nodding and dashing back into the forest following the feeling towards Kuu. Several of the people on both sides attempted to pursue him but were blocked off by Minato's four Sekirei.

"Now….Where do you think you're going?" Akitsu asked surprisingly and a solid wall of ice erupted behind them barring the way and keeping them all inside the glade. Then Haihane noticed something off. "Where's the scythe chick?" It was true the scythe wielding girl was gone, Mikogomi smiled deviously. "Seems like Yomi took the initiative. Remind me to give her something as a reward later." The boy spoke to the man he was currently latched onto, said silver haired man nodded and lowered the boy off his back and onto the ground.

Akitsu looked back worriedly towards the direction Minato had gone and she could only hope her Ashikabi would survive. Then again her Ashikabi was something else. "Very well, let us begin." Akitsu spoke without her normal pause at the beginning of her sentences. Musubi clenched her fists tightly and wore an exuberant smile on her face while Haihane and Benitstubasa had adopted smiles as well, Benitstubasa took a fighting stance and Haihane fanned out her claws and prepared to fight.

Then all hell broke loose as all three sides clashed.

Alright well hope you enjoyed and I'll be back again soon, until then read and leave those reviews or Karasuba will find you and make you leave a review.
