I know I took a long time to update and I apologize for the long delay. I didn't intend on making you all wait so long for the next chapter. I'll try to get more uploaded quickly. I really hope this was worth the wait.
-The Three Days Later-
It was 4:36p.m and Matsuo and Karasuba were training while Taki was watching. She was amazed at how strong her Ashikabi was. He was managing to hold his own during their training which impressed Karasuba. He saw that Karasuba was dropped her guard which made him want to take the opportunity. Matsuo took a swing at Karasuba who used her hand to block it. She tossed him across the training ground. Matsuo rubbed his head and looked at his Sekirei who was smirking.
"Come on! You had your guard dropped. I had you!" Matsuo protested.
"You thought you had me. If an opponent drops their guard purposely, don't take the bait. That's a simple rule that even I thought you would know kid." Karasuba said calmly.
"Are you implying that I'm dumb?" Matsuo asked her.
"No, not at all. You're just a little slow." Karasuba laughed a bit at her sarcasm. She saw her Ashikabi's facial expression and decided to stop joking around.
Karasuba sighed, "It was a joke kid. Take it easy, you're no fun." Almost instantly she turned to Taki and decided to test something out.
"Hey kid, let me and Taki spar for a bit. I want to test her abilities." Karasuba said smirking.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Matsuo said a bit worried about how this "sparring" session would turn out.
"Taki do you want to spar? I won't hurt you I promise." Karasuba said smiling at her. "It'll be fun."
Taki decided to accept and got up. She walked on the training mat and faced Karasuba. Matsuo moved to watch his two Sekirei spar. He was nervous but also excited to see what might happen. He then started worrying about Uzume a bit.
'Where is she? She's been gone for some time now.' Matsuo thought.
-With Uzume-
She was leaping from building to building with the food for dinner. She was going as quick as she can so she can start making it but she was stopped by a random shadow blocking her path. She looked back and saw a man with black hair wielding a sword. He wore a black trench coat and wore boots over his black pants. He had his eyes closed which confused Uzume.
"Who are you?" Uzume asked in a serious tone.
He simply just smiled at her. It wasn't an ordinary smile, it was one of those smiles that'll warn you a psychopath was in front of you. His smile was so sadistic it put Karasuba's to shame. She knew he wasn't going to talk it out but she also wasn't prepared to fight. She could just call for help but she didn't want to get the others involved. He walked in front of her and on instinct she flipped back, hitting him in the process.
He stumbled back still keeping the smile on his face and continued to walk towards her again. She dropped the bag and got her stance ready. He sheathed his sword and disappeared. He ended up behind her but missed his swing. Uzume dodged it and countered with a kick to the gut sending the Psychotic Sekirei to the ground. She ran at him and punched his gut while delivering a powerful roundhouse kick to the temple. A kick so powerful anyone would be knocked unconscious…but not this one. He got up like nothing happened and wiped the blood trickling from his mouth…still smiling might I add.
"What the hell are you?" Uzume asked frustrated at the opponent she is forced to face.
"I am No. 109 Izaya the Shadow Sekirei." He responded calmly. His facial expression changing in the process giving him a more serious look. As soon as he opened his eyes he stared right into Uzume's causing chills to go down her spine. It was like his purple pupils were dragging Uzume down the depths of darkness with no chance of fighting back. "I wanna fight you serious, veiled Sekirei."
Uzume snapped out of her temporal trans when she heard that he knew about her.
"How do you know that I'm the Veiled Sekirei?" Uzume asked him while reaching into her bag pulling out her veiled clothing.
"I know a lot of things thanks to a certain person." Izaya responded smirking at her. She just gave him a look of confusion and he sighed.
"Are you going to change or not?" He asked impatiently. Uzume looked at him and looked at her clothing. She didn't want to make her friends wait any longer but she had no way around the situation.
He turned around and she changed quickly. "Okay it's safe to look now."
He turned to look at the Uzume not really impressed with what he saw. He then smirked at an idea. "Are you trying to fight me or seduce me?"
Uzume glared at him angrily but sighed in annoyance, "If you're not going to take this serious then I'll be going." She picked up her clothes and put them in the bag and started walking with the food in hand.
The swordsman charged at Uzume with speeds she's never even seen. She looked back and saw that the bag wasn't in her hand. Izaya smirked and motioned her to come at him. She was honestly confused by his split personalities. He was psychotic before and now he's calm and playful. He reminded her of Karasuba in many ways.
She tossed her veil and grabbed him by the waist pulling him. He sheathed his sword and cut the veil. He then continued to put down her bag. He looked at her smiling like he was earlier.
"Shadow Tsunami." Izaya started spinning his sword at the direction Uzume was in and shadows started coming out. It caused her to fly up surrounding her with shadows in the process. He then held up his hand at Uzume's direction. "The end." He closed his hand causing the shadow around Uzume to explode.
She was falling down not moving until he saw her land on her legs. She was having trouble standing up but managed to maintain her balance. Izaya raised an eyebrow showing that he was indeed impressed.
"You managed to survive my Shadow Tsunami. I guess I'll use this move then." He started focusing until shadows appeared around his hand. He stuck his palm out and smirked.
"Shadow Rage Cannon!" Izaya fired the blast at Uzume only to have it blocked by her veils. She then countered and stabbed him in the shoulder while kicking him to the ground. She flipped back and kept her stance. She watched him get up but smirked at him. She started glowing and her veil suddenly grow long enough to wrap around her arm. The veiled blade was also surrounded by light aura.
"The Blade of Veils." Uzume said confidently. Izaya picked up his blade surrounded by shadow aura and charged at her with his incredible speed. The blades collided causing a miniature shockwave.
"You just surprise me more veiled Sekirei." Izaya said pushing her back.
With Matsuo and his Sekirei-
BOOM!
Karasuba flipped back to dodge the incoming mist projectiles. Taki then kneed Karasuba in the gut while causing her to hit the ground with her mist shrouded foot. Taki disappeared in the mist surrounding the area and continued to move. Karasuba was looking around and finally found her. She swung her sword up catching her target a bit. Matsuo was impressed even though he was having a hard time seeing most of the fight but he could tell that it was good. He was also amazed at how durable the training room was. Everything was still intact and looked like nothing was touched.
He then started feeling something wrong. His gut was telling him that something bad was happening to Uzume.
"Hey guys!" Matsuo called out. They continued to fight ignoring Matsuo. He looked around for anything loud enough to get them to stop. He found a megaphone and turned it on.
"HEY GUYS I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!" Matsuo yelled waiting for them to stop. When they did he turned it off and set it down. Taki stopped the mist that was shrouding the room and looked at her Ashikabi intently. Matsuo looked at how beat up his Sekirei were. Taki was bleeding from the mouth and had cuts/bruises all over while Karasuba was bleeding from the forehead with bruises and a burn on her cheek.
"Uh…I thought you both were…um sparring." Matsuo said confused.
"We were sparring kid." Karasuba said smirking at her ashikabi.
"How are you both not tired?" Matsuo asked amazed at what he realized.
"A light spar isn't going to tire us out Matsy!" Taki said happily. Matsuo felt his jaw drop and started feeling his head hurting.
'The hell? That's what they call a light spar? I don't want to know what serious fighting is to them then.' Matsuo thought as he sat down holding his head.
"Matsy! Are you okay?" Taki asked worried.
Matsuo gave her a thumbs up, "I'm fine just a bit out of it after seeing that 'light spar'."
"Well kid what did you need to tell us?" Karasuba asked him.
"Oh yeah, throughout your spar I've been having this gut feeling that maybe Uzume is in trouble." Matsuo said looking down worried.
"Now that you mention it I haven't seen Uzu since she left this morning to get groceries." Karasuba said thinking. "Well?"
"Well what?" Matsuo asked slightly annoyed.
"It's 5:47, don't you want to look for Uzume?" Karasuba asked calmly.
"Of course." Matsuo replied standing up.
"Before that, we need you to do something for us." Karasuba said.
"And what might that be?" He asked.
"Kiss us." She said with a serious tone.
"Why now of all times?" Matsuo asked confused and a bit annoyed.
"It'll explain itself after you do it." Karasuba said.
Matsuo nodded and went to Taki and kissed her. He pulled back and kissed Karasuba afterwards. He stepped back when he noticed they were glowing.
"What's going on?" Matsuo asked concerned. He closed his eyes and when he opened them he saw that all his Sekireis' injuries were gone. He was confused but understood what she meant by it explaining itself.
"So I can heal you too?" He asked excited about what just happened.
"Basically." Karasuba said calmly.
"So you're our doctor, Matsy." Taki said seductively causing Matsuo to blush.
"Anyways, let's get going. Uzume needs us now." Karasuba said walking ahead.
-With Uzume-
Uzume and Izaya were continuing their sword fight. Uzume was cut but not in fatal areas she was still able to fight back. Izaya was clean except for the stab on his left shoulder.
Uzume kicked him back and used her non bladed arm to grab Izaya by the neck. He tried to cut it but was tossed in the area before that could happen. Izaya broke free and fired his Shadow rage cannon again. Uzume blocked it but was unaware of Izaya punching her in the gut and sending her back with a kick of his own. Uzume hit the ground and was grabbed by Izaya.
"You've impressed me this much, now it's time for me to end this fun battle." The Shadow Sekirei said calmly.
His purple eyes started to change into black eyes. With the black eyes came a purple eight point star which started glowing.
"Wh-what…..is…th-that?" Uzume asked weakly.
"My Shadow Illusion Eyes." Izaya stated. Uzume started feeling her consciousness leaving as she couldn't take her gaze away from his eyes.
The eight point star started turning counter clock wise. "Now be gone in the abyss of your own illusion." Izaya said as Uzume fell unconscious.
"UZUME!" a voice was heard as Izaya turned in the direction. He smirked when he saw Taki, Karasuba & Matsuo.
Matsuo ran over to her and turned to make her face him.
"Get up Uzume, get up! Please." Matsuo had a tear fall down.
"Save your breath kid, she's alright she just lost consciousness for the rest of today." Izaya said calmly. "I wasn't trying to kill her."
"I don't care! You harmed my Sekirei! That is unforgivable!" Matsuo cried angrily.
Karasuba and Taki felt the frustration coming for their Ashikabi, it made them want to kill the Sekirei.
"Taki when I give you the signal surround the area in mist." Karasuba whispered inconspicuously.
Taki nodded and waited for Karasuba to make her move. She charged at Izaya and he instantly blocked it. She jumped back and saw that he was coming at her. She crossed her fingers and Taki immediately surrounded the area in mist.
Izaya was confused but impressed by the display. Karasuba kicked Izaya and he recovered quick enough.
"Shadow Tsunami!" He started spinning his sword to get the mist to subside but failed. Taki fired her Freezing Mist Ball and caught Izaya directly making him unable to move.
"What the? I'm stuck!" Izaya said trying to move.
"Struggling only makes it worse." Taki said smiling. "Now Kara, end it."
Karasuba started focusing her energy to get this last attack perfectly to end him. She charged at him and cut right through him. She then cut a random dark blast in half and looked around. He was punched in the gut and kicked twice mid air sending her back.
"I do admit you almost had me. At the last second I found enough strength to manipulate a clone of myself. I would have been terminated if you would have connected there." Izaya said smirking.
Karasuba smirked back and readied herself for another attack. Taki stood by Matsuo incase something were to happen to him. Matsuo was still worried about Uzume.
"Izaya, how long are you gonna take to come back?" A voice said. Everyone looked around the see where the voice came from. They then saw a silhouette of a two females but one was wearing a hat with a guitar in hand. She strummed it and out came an electrifying sound that dispersed the mist shrouding the area.
When it cleared completely they saw a woman wearing a red skeletal looking witch hat, a black bob cut style, red lip stick, a mole on her right cheek, green eyes, a black choker with a gold ring connected to a red shoulder less jacket over a red miniskirt, red thigh high heeled boots, black fingerless gloves and a teal/gold/white guitar in hand. Standing beside her was a girl with pink hair, brown eyes, a purple/red kimono with purple bunny slippers, cream colored stockings and a red bow on on her wrist.
Matsuo and his Sekirei looked at the duo confused at what just happened.
"Come on Izaya, you've done enough today." The pink haired girl said.
"He's your Sekirei?" Matsuo asked her.
"Of course." She said smiling. Matsuo felt something off about her smile but dismissed it quickly.
"Well he rendered one of my Sekireis unconscious. I can't forgive him for that." Matsuo said glaring at her.
"I understand your aggression but just let Izaya off for now. You will have your revenge soon." She explained.
"Fine I'll let him off. If my Sekirei and I see him again we won't hesitate to fight him." Matsuo said calmly.
"Farewell." She said smiling before walking away.
"Wait!" He called out stopping her. "What's your name?"
"Tetsuyuki Satake." She said as she continued to walk away from him.
"Lets go home everyone." Matsuo said as they all started walking in the opposite direction.
-Back at home-
Matsuo laid Uzume on his bed and grabbed his PJ's to change into. He was tired and needed a refreshing bath to calm his nerves. He got in there to see Taki and Karasuba both relaxed inside. He turned around but was stopped by a jumping Taki that grabbed him.
"Where are you going Matsy?" She asked him.
"I'm gonna wait for you both to finish." Matsuo replied but ended up getting pulled in the bath anyways.
"At least let me change out of my clothes first." Matsuo said smiling at bit.
After the bath Matsuo was downstairs with Karasuba and Taki.
"Tetsuyuki. Why does that name sound familiar?" Matsuo asked out loud.
"She's the game master. I told you that." Karasuba said calmly.
"That's who she was?!" Matsuo asked surprised.
"Yeah." Karasuba said. "Those other two Sekireis No. 109 Izaya and No. 112 I-no are both extremely powerful."
"I figured Izaya was but the other one…I-no was it, she didn't look that powerful." Matsuo said.
"That's where your failure to think perceptively will get you killed. I-no served with me during the 2nd generation discipline squad along with Izaya. Despite their high number they've actually been around longer then most Sekirei." Karasuba said calmly. There was silence until she spoke again.
"Tetsuyuki also has three more Sekirei No. 91, No. 70 & No. 100. I don't know much about them but I know that if the Game Master has them winged then they must be powerful." Karasuba said.
"The game master only goes for powerful Sekirei?" he asked.
"That's basically it Matsy." Taki said. "She may look innocent but she only likes strong Sekirei. Sekirei that'll help her keep her position as game master. She utilizes her Sekirei as catalysts to get where she is now. She has crazy ways of having 'fun'. "
Matsuo looked at her and at Taki.
"That's nothing we can't already handle." Matsuo said with confidently. "We just need two more members and a lot of training and we'll be able to take out anyone who would threaten us."
Karasuba and Taki smiled at their Ashikabi both proud of his confidence and faith he has in them.
"Thanks for believing in us kid." Karasuba said giving him a kiss on the cheek causing him to blush. "Good night."
Taki didn't like that but left it alone since she was alone with him. He then walked over to her and kissed her before walking to his room. Taki did the same after him.
Matsuo couldn't help but worry about Uzume's condition. He knew she would wake up but couldn't help how he felt. He stared at her and smiled after hearing her breathing peacefully.
"Goodnight Uzume." Matsuo said giving her a kiss on the cheek and turning off the lights.
-Outside Matsuo's house-
"So this is where you live Matsuo? I can't wait to formally meet you…my ashikabi." A white haired woman with glasses said walking away from the building.
Hope you guys enjoyed it, it was my first chapter in 3 months. Izaya isn't from any series he's an OC. I don't own him however my friend does along. I made Izaya have a psychotic side which you didn't really see and then a calm/playful side. The reason for that is that he's someone who loves to fight but he also loves to have fun. Izaya's Shadow Illusion eyes are basically used for knocking his opponent unconscious or giving them a painless death inside their own mind. It's nothing more and nothing less.
I gave Uzume and Taki new moves
Uzume right now has her regular moves plus her new one "Blade of Veils" now she has her combat against swordsmen like Karasuba or Izaya.
For Taki she has her normal Mist but she also has "Mist Bombs", "Freezing Mist Ball" and "Mist Illusion Technique".
The mist illusion technique is when the area is surrounded with mist she can move as fast as she wants almost like an illusion is being presented to the opponent.
The scene where you finally meet the Game Master Tetsuyuki wasn't that interesting but it was meant as just an introduction. You'll see her true nature as the series continues. The new guest character I-no from Guilty Gear was an interesting choice in my opinion. She's going to fit rather nicely in my series. Saeko and Tifa along with their Ashikabi Kiritsugu will be returning soon. He still needs to get his revenge on Matsuo and Karasuba. I haven't forgot about Matsuo's incomplete explanation on why he despises Higa so much. I will get to that soon maybe next chapter or Chapter 8 I'm not sure yet.
Lastly, if you haven't guessed who the person was at the end then I won't spoil it but someone else might lol. Just a warning to you all. Anyways thanks for reading my series thus far and I hope you all continue to read faithfully and in return I'll put forth my best to make it as interesting as possible ^_^
