Reincarnated in sekirei

( Chiho's POV )

I couldn't stop thinking about what Uzume said the day before, Yuuki has several beautiful girlfriends and she is one of them, I don't think he would notice a girl like me.

Yuuki: Chiho, how are you feeling?

Chiho:I-I'm fine, really.

My treatment is going well, so well that although it is with some difficulty I can walk again, Yuuki visited me at the same time as yesterday and he offered to accompany me on a little walk in a park near the MBI building and to make sure nothing happens to me, Uzume and Tsukiumi, another of Yuuki's sekireis also accompanied us, but they were keeping their distance from us.

Chiho: kyaaa~

While I was distracted with my thoughts I stumbled, but Yuuki moved in front of me in an instant and prevented me from falling.

Yuuki: I think it's time for a little break.

Chiho: Y-Yes.

With my face pressed against his chest, my heart starts beating fast, I definitely need a break.

Chiho: Yuuki do you like Uzume?

Uzume and Yuki have done a lot for me despite not having any obligation towards me, Uzume is my best friend but what motivates Yuuki to do so much for me.

Yuuki: Of course I like her, we haven't spent much time together but that's easily fixed.

Chiho: Is that why you are doing so much for me because Uzume is important to you?

Yuuki: Well, we met because you are a friend of Uzume, but after spending time with you, I consider you my friend and I want to help you, I promised myself something and I always keep my promises.

Chiho: what did you promise?

Yuuki: hehe that's secret for now, I'll tell you when you recover.

Chiho: you are a bit weird Yuuki.

' It's probably because of that, that I can't get you out of my head '

Yuuki just smiles, taking what I said as a compliment.

I was finally able to enjoy spending time with friends and when Yuuki is around me I forgot that my body is still a bit fragile, after our walk I didn't realize how tired I was and Yuuki had to carry me back, after experiencing new things with Uzume, Yuuki and their sekireis I can't help but look forward to the next day.

//////////

While I was alone in my room a smell caresses my nose, after carrying me on his back, some of Yuuki's smell stayed on my clothes and when I smelled it I blushed a little.

I turn towards the door of my room and after a few seconds without anyone entering I put a part of my shirt over my nose and give it a sniff, Yuuki's smell is sweet and has a slight metallic taste mixed in it, it's a bit strange, but I can't get enough of that smell.

Uzume: um~ what you doing.

Chiho: Kyaa!

Without realizing it Uzume entered my room and was standing next to me with a mischievous look, I don't know how much she saw but I need to make up an excuse, Quick.

Chiho: sweat... I'm kind of sweaty after going out and I was thinking about taking a bath.

Uzume's expression doesn't change but she has no reason to doubt me, that was a good excuse, right?

Uzume: sure~, you know I was thinking the exact same thing, let's take a bath together, then we can continue talking.

' Ughh '

//////////

The next day Uzume kept making fun of me for what happened yesterday, I wanted to stop her since Yuuki was about to make her daily visit and I didn't want him to hear about it.

Yuuki: Hello girls, how are you?

Chiho: hello Yuuki.

Uzume: hi.

Uzume didn't have a chance to say anything because immediately after greeting us Yuuki walks up to her and stares at her, it almost seems like they're about to kiss.

Uzume: w-what are you doing Yuuki?

Yuuki: just making sure you've been resting.

Uzume: O-ok

Although Yuuki says that he is just checking that Uzume is resting properly he continues to look at her with a smile.

Uzume: N-now what?

Yuuki: nothing, thanks for becoming my Sekirei, Uzume.

Uzume: W-why are you saying that all of a sudden, Yuuki.

Chiho: hehe Uzume looks cute when she blushes.

This is the first time I see Uzume embarrassed and I don't miss the opportunity to tease her in the same way that she tease me.

Uzume: I'm going to tell Yuuki what you were doing yesterday with your sweaty clothes.

Uzume whispers in my ear and Yuuki doesn't seem to have heard her but I glare at her for talking about it when Yuuki is here and she does the same to me.

Yuuki: Chiho, I have a surprise for you.

After a few moments of glaring at each other Yuuki decided to change the subject and I tilted my head in confusion at him.

Yuuki: My aunt Takami finally allowed me to bring you something to eat, Yashima's food is delicious, I guarantee it.

Yashima who came together with Yuuki brought a basket full of food and desserts, everything was delicious and I was surprised to hear that Yuuki had prepared most of the desserts and after enjoying the food Yuuki casually makes an announcement that shocks me a bit.

Yuuki: Chiho, something came up so I won't be able to visit you tomorrow.

Yuuki is participating in the Sekirei plan, a battle that decides the fate of all sekireis like Uzume, and I had forgotten about it because he always looks so carefree, He must have more important things than visiting me every day, but still, I want to see him, I want him to visit me tomorrow, I want to spend more time with him, that's selfish but Yuuki said I have the right to be selfish, right?

Chiho: ok, do not worry I'll be fine.

In the end, I couldn't say what I thought, will he start spending less time with me every day? after hearing my answer Yuuki looked me straight in the eyes for a few seconds and then put his hand on my head and he only said one word, 'ok'.

//////////

After Yuuki left my room was completely silent until Uzume asked me a question.

Uzume: Chiho, what do you think of Yuuki?

She has asked me that question every day since I met Yuuki, but I don't want to answer that question right now.

Chiho: You already asked me that, remember?

Uzume: Ok, I'll change the question, do you like Yuuki?

When I hear the question strangely I don't feel embarrassed, I think I already knew, that was what Uzume was asking me from the beginning.

Chiho: I think... I think so, these last few days I haven't been able to stop thinking about him, about what we'll do every day, but that makes me think that soon he won't have to visit me every day, what should I do Uzume?

When I admit my feelings for Yuuki my heart starts to ache, I don't want to hide my feelings but I'm afraid that the time we spent together will only continue to decrease until he will just be a memory.

Uzume: You must tell him how you feel of course.

Chiho: but-

Uzume: don't say anything else, Yuuki is lucky that you like him, everything will be fine, remember, I'll always be on your side.

Uzume gives me a comforting hug and we spend the rest of the day thinking about what I will say to him when I see him and the relationship I wanted to have with him.

//////////

Today I woke up very late, Yesterday I was very nervous thinking about what I was going to say to Yuuki and Uzume kept asking me questions as if I were already Yuuki's girlfriend, like where we were going on our first date.

Uzume: GOOD MORNING CHIHO.

Suddenly Uzume kicks my bedroom door open as she has several dresses in her hands.

Chiho: where were you Uzume and why do you have those clothes?

Uzume: I have a couple of surprises for you but first you need to change.

Uzume puts the dresses on my bed and while I try to choose one Uzume tells me about her surprises.

Uzume: congratulations Chiho as of today you are officially cured.

I look at Uzume and blinking a couple of times, I had completely forgotten about my condition, I can walk perfectly and every day I feel stronger, that completely slipped my mind as I thought about my confession towards Yuuki

Uzume: and the second surprise is related to that, we can't stay here anymore so we're going to move in with Yuuki.

Chiho: WHAT!

Uzume: You said you wanted to move in with me when you recovered, remember?

Chiho: yes, but you said you lived in an inn, Izumo inn I think.

Uzume: You're right, I used to live there, but now we're moving, I don't want to be the only one of Yuuki's sekireis who doesn't live with him, and you'll soon be his girlfriend, so everything's fine.

Chiho: You skipped too many steps, I'm not ready yet.

Uzume: don't worry everything will be fine, I'm on your side and I'll support you, now I have some things to take care of so get changed quickly, OK.

Chiho: I don't need that kind of support!

After receiving that shocking news, I hurriedly picked out a nice dress and started to change.

* Knock knock *

' Uzume probably forgot something'

chiho: come in.

When the door opens I see Yuuki and a smile appears on my face, he stares at me for a few seconds without saying anything and I realize that my shirt was barely covering my breasts.

Chiho: Kyaa, Yuuki don't look, I haven't confessed yet.

Yuuki: ah sorry.

Yuuki turns around and I don't know whether to ask him to go out for a moment or keep changing, the truth is, I was kind of happy that he was staring at my body.

Chiho: Yuuki, don't turn around you understand if you turn around... I'll be upset.

Yuuki: ...ok.

Chiho: why did you take so long to reply?

Yuuki: no reason.

When I finish changing I stay silent, what can I say at a time like this, Uzume and I are going to move into his house and I plan to confess my feelings to him

Chiho: So, I am cured.

Yuuki: Yes, there is something I want to tell you, but you are definitely cured.

' when we move to Yuuki's house I don't know if I will have many opportunities to confess, should I take advantage of the fact that we were alone at this moment? '

After spending the whole night practicing what to say to him I gathered all my courage and I decided to confess.

Chiho: Yuuki, listen-

Uzume: OK, our bags are ready~... Am I interrupting?

//////////

After being interrupted I couldn't even enjoy the trip to Yuuki's house, because Uzume wanted to get there as soon as possible, Yuuki carried me while he jumped from building to building like the day we met, a few days ago being in his arms would make me feel incredibly nervous, but not now, now I was more focused on my next chance to confess and this one came when we were near his house and Yuuki suddenly stopped walking.

Yuuki: Chiho, can you finish what you were going to say before Uzume interrupted us?

This is the moment, I take a deep breath and look into Yuuki's eyes.

Chiho: Yuuki, I like you, I want to be your girlfriend.

Yuuki is silent for a few seconds before putting me down on the ground, still staring at me.

Yuuki: Chiho, you are sure of that, you don't just feel grateful.

Chiho: no, I mean I definitely feel grateful but that's not all I feel, you're always in my thoughts, I want to know more about you, I feel happy when we are together and sad when I cannot see you, I am not a love expert but I know that what I feel is not just gratitude, I want to be with you just like Uzume.

When Yuuki takes my hand and starts to smile I blush after thinking about what I just told him.

Yuuki: Chiho, from the moment I met you I knew why you are so important to Uzume, you deserve to be happy and I promised myself that I would make you happy, I guess this is a good place to start.

After hearing Yuuki's answer I close my eyes and stand on my tiptoes and seconds later I can feel his lips against mine.

As we kiss a warm feeling goes through my whole body and my body feels light, this feeling is a bit addictive.

//////////

After our kiss, I hugged Yuki for a few minutes before continuing to walk and when the two of us finally arrived at his house Uzume had already introduced herself to Yuuki's parents and was looking at me mischievously, she must know what happened between Yuuki and me.

Although our move is recent news, Yuuki's parents welcomed us with open arms, especially Yuuki's mother and after introducing myself to them, I introduce myself to the last inhabitant of the house that I did not know, who was holding a cute puppy in her arms.

Chiho: hello, nice to meet you my name is Chiho.

???: Hi... I'm Akitsu.
