Chapter 16: The next feather and new friends.
(Yuuki's POV)
I took Kuu around the city to any place that caught his attention, the places that she liked the most were the flower shop, where I bought her a bag with various types of seeds and a small pot with a plant in it, this will be very useful if we fight in places where there is no vegetation, I also bought a bag for myself, and the arcade where I won two stuffed animals for her, one was a purple dragon and the other was a black bunny.
After that we are sitting on a bench in a park and I bought taiyaki to eat while enjoying nature, Kuu likes to be surrounded by nature and since I gave her wings, it also makes me feel calm.
Kuu: thanks for taking me on a date onii-chan.
Yuuki: no problem, I would do anything to make you happy.
Kuu: hehe I love you, onii-chan!
Yuuki: I love you too Kuu.
While I was patting Kuu's head I felt the presence of a Sekirei approaching us, Why do I always meet a Sekirei when I'm in this park?
Yuuki: can I help you?
In front of me is a beautiful woman with three katanas on her waist, she has long blonde braided hair with silver tips and red eyes, wearing a black jacket and pants over a white shirt with red patterns.
???: Yes, I've been looking for you, this may sound strange but I need to know how strong you are.
She throws me one of her katanas that I caught with my right hand, I think I know what she wants, something similar happened with Tsukiumi, plus I never say no to a good fight.
Kuu: I won't let you bully my onii-chan!
Kuu stands between us with his arms outstretched to protect me, I appreciated her feelings but I need to explain the situation to her.
Yuuki: don't worry Kuu she has no bad intentions, thanks for protecting me Kuu... I accept your challenge, although may I ask for a few things?
I caressed Kuu's head while I thank her to which she responds with a smile while I proceed to request something from my opponent, she nods slightly to confirm and instruct me to continue.
Yuuki: first I would like to know your name and second we could move to another place for our duel.
Miu: that seems fine to me, please guide the way and my name is Miu I am the Sekirei No 99.
//////////
The place where I decided to have our duel is the botanical garden where I met Kuu, the day before I saw on the news that all the overgrown trees had withered and died so I decided to use this opportunity to restore it to its original state when we got there some MBI soldiers standing guard but this time they didn't try to stop us, I recognized a couple of soldiers and greeted them before heading to the center of the botanical garden.
Yuuki: Kuu, give me your hands.
Kuu: why onii-chan?
Yuuki: you and I are going to fix this place.
Kuu: huh? But I don't want to lose control of my powers again.
Yuuki: I won't let that happen, I promise you.
Kuu: Okay.
Kuu takes my hands and we start to use our powers filling the place with life again, I could feel its power increasing too much and I kept it under control immediately, after a few seconds the whole place returned to its original state except that I took the liberty of creating a small wooden arena for our duel, Kuu took a seat in the stands encouraging me as Miu and I took our positions to start our duel.
With a glance we start our duel and we both propel ourselves at great speed towards each other with our katanas colliding in the center of the arena, our katanas repeatedly collide with each other ending with me overpowering Miu little by little, she steps back and draws her other katana, She has a smile that clearly showed that she was satisfied with my abilities and that she was enjoying our fight just like I was.
I kick the ground and in an instant I move behind her directing the edge of my sword towards her neck, With her excellent reflexes and instincts she was able to block my attack, Miu counterattacks with a powerful double slash sending me flying towards the wall of the coliseum, I recover in the air and the moment my feet touch the wall I shot myself at her, The force of the impact separated us several meters, giving us a few seconds to prepare for our next attack.
I noticed a crack in the blade of my katana, an obvious result of my attacks after all I am used to using much heavier weapons than this.
Yuuki: I will end this!
I raised my katana as a large amount of air was compressed around its blade, when it descends diagonally it releases a wind blade that easily leaves marks on the ground where it passes destroying my sword in the process, Miu uses her two katanas to defend herself from my attack but they could not resist it and she only managed to deflect it leaving deep cuts in the part of the coliseum behind her, Before she can react I find myself in front of her with a [water sword] pointed at her throat.
Yuuki: It seems that I win.
Miu: ...Yes, it seems that way.
I declared my victory and she recovers from her surprise by answering me with a smile, 'that's a lovely smile'.
Yuuki: * cough * well, now can you tell me why you wanted a duel with me? Although I think I already know why.
Miu: Yes, like that girl who accompanies you, I am a Sekirei, the reason for our duel was because you are my ashikabi since I'm going to protect you all my life I need to know exactly how strong you are, I did not expect you to beat me, this is the second time that I am wrong today and I am delighted.
Yuuki: I see, before doing the 'ritual' I want to introduce you to my Sekireis.
Miu: I understand, it would be strange if someone like you didn't have more Sekireis.
Kuu: onii-chan, you are so cool!
Yuuki: thanks Kuu, are you ready to go home?
Kuu: unm!
I put Kuu on my shoulders and extend my hand to Miu, she takes it with a smile and rosy cheeks.
On the way home, Kuu tells Miu about his sisters back home in a bit of a smug way, but it shows how much Kuu loves them all.
//////////
We returned home and at the entrance was our always loyal and cute guardian Sif, Kuu started playing with her while Miu and I walked home.
Yashima: welcome home Yuuki, who is she, Yuuki?
Yuuki: She is Miu, are all the girls here ?, I wanted to gather them in the dojo to introduce her.
Yashima: your mother and father went to visit Minato-san, everyone else is here but Tsukiumi and Mitsuki are a bit upset at the moment.
Yuuki: something happened?
Yashima: apparently they encountered the veiled Sekirei and someone got in their way allowing them to escape, they have been in the dojo since they returned.
Yuuki: I see, we should also talk more about that.
//////////
After we all got together, I told them how I met Miu and that I wanted to make her my Sekireis, as with my other sekireis I felt a connection with her immediately after meeting her.
Tsukiumi: I see you learned your lesson, about not giving another Sekirei without our consent, but I am concerned about your tendencies to make other women fall in love when you are alone.
Yuuki: I swear I don't do it on purpose.
Kuno: we know it, that's what worries us.
Yuuki: uhg I will try to fix that.
Mitsuha: Yuuki, Yashima and I made some desserts, why don't you taste them while we talk to Miu in private.
Yuuki: Sweet, you two are the best, I love you both.
I run to the kitchen to give the girls privacy, when I open the refrigerator and see everything they prepared and I begin to devour it all, shortly after starting my meal I'm interrupted by the sound of my smartphone.
I took a look at the screen and answered immediately.
Yuuki: hello Minato, how are you
Minato: [ Hi Yuuki, I'm fine, I don't want to bother you but ... I need your help. ]
Yuuki: do not worry, I know that you would not ask me for help if it were for something important, where are you at this moment.
Minato: right now I'm in my old apartment but we need to meet somewhere else, the address is...
Yuuki: ok I will be there.
Miu: Yuuki?
I end the call with Minato and look at Miu, she behaves shyly, surely because of what is about to happen, with her red cheeks and a low voice she continues speaking.
Miu: I'm not interfering with something important, am I?
Yuuki: no, you didn't, you're done talking to the other girls.
Miu: Yes, they said that I have you all to myself for a few minutes.
Yuuki: I see.
I approached her and put her in a tight hug, that takes her by surprise and she stays still blushing even more than before, I continue to hold her while I wait for her to continue speaking.
Miu: from the first time I saw you, I knew that you were with whom I wanted to spend the rest of my life, even if I'm not strong enough I want to be by your side to love and protect you, I know that my feelings will not lose against those of the others.
I run my fingers through her hair while looking into her eyes, since I was little I have been able to tell if someone is lying with a single look, so listening to their sincere feelings reminds me how lucky I am that they are a part of my life.
Yuuki: I feel the same way about you, I need you by my side, and do not worry about your strength, you will not recognize your new potential.
I lean my head towards Miu and kiss her to mark her as my Sekirei, she spreads her wings and like all the others her power begins to multiply, also a current of wind surrounds us both, It seems that she awakened the ability to create and control the wind just like me, plus I can feel my core becoming more stable and stronger.
Kuu: ONIII-CHAN!
After kissing, I continue to hug her while she rests her head on my chest without saying anything until Kuu's voice takes us out of our trance, when I turned to see her she lunges towards me forcing me to separate from Miu to catch her, all the girls follow soon after her.
Yuuki: Kuu that's dangerous, you could have hurt yourself.
Kuu: no it's not, I knew onii-chan would catch Kuu.
Miu: It seems our time alone is over.
Mitsuki: Don't worry, you will have more opportunities to spend time with Yuuki in the future.
Since we resolved the matter of Miu's integration into our family, I informed the girls about my conversation with Minato and that we would take action against the veil Sekirei, We can't let her do what she wants in our territory Tsukiumi and Mitsuki decided to stay home and keep training so that the veiled Sekirei can't escape next time, Miu stayed with them to get used to her new abilities, all the others will accompany me to the meeting point, probably to prevent me from giving wings to another Sekirei on the way, I know because they exchange a look of understanding before leaving.
'Come on, that's not going to happen ... twice in one day'
//////////
We arrived at the meeting point that turns out to be the apartment Seo, Minato and Musubi were already there as well as three other new faces, these were an ashikabi of the age of Minato and two sekireis plus one of them was not winged, the winged Sekirei is a girl with long blond hair wearing a white shirt and an orange skirt as well as carrying a spear on her back, the other is a mature looking woman, dark purple hair and is wearing a purple tight one-piece dress.
Yuuki: Hi, nice to meet you my name is Kurokawa Yuuki, I guess you are the reason that Minato called me.
Shigi: y-yes I am, my name is Haruka Shigi and she is my Sekirei Nanami, Minato says that you can help us escape from the capital.
Yuuki: I see, can I ask why?
Shigi: I'm not interested in this 'game' or anything Minaka says, I'm not going to fight anyone without a reason.
Yuuki: so you haven't terminated any Sekirei.
Shigi: así es.
Yuuki: Ok, I'll help you, any friend of Minato's is a friend of mine after all.
Seo: Since the presentations are out of the way, I will continue to explain the plan, with this number of people everything should go well.
