Reincarnated in sekirei

( Akitsu's POV )

I am a mistake, I am defective, that is what the scientist in charge of my tuning said.

I am a Sekirei, Sekirei No. 7 Akitsu, but I am of no use to anyone, I am a discarded number, my Sekirei mark that represents my link with my ashikabi is on my forehead, that's a mistake I can't be winged and I don't participate in the Sekirei plan either, that's why I'm defective, If I don't have an ashikabi, I have no reason to fight.

I don't have a limiter on my powers like other sekireis, which caused me to accidentally hurt the scientist in charge of my tuning, for someone as dangerous as me, only one destiny awaits, to be terminated, despite being a discarded number and having no place to belong, The thought of being terminated scared me, I have no choice, I froze the MBI lab and made my escape with only a bloodstained lab coat to cover myself and a black MBI credit card.

//////////

For half a month I have been in the northern part of the capital, this is the safest area for me in the city, sekireis and ashikabis stay away from this area for fear of the powerful sekireis that live here, even the MBI doesn't have much of a presence here and people who are not related to the Sekirei plan ignore me or walk away when they see me.

As the Sekirei plan continues to advance and draws to a close, I feel empty, I look at the black card in my hands and wonder what I should do, I have no place to go and I can't return to the MBI either.

' maybe it would have been better to be terminated '

*woof woof*

A bark brings me out of my thoughts and when I look up I see a puppy with silver fur barking at me, she is quite cute.

???: Sif don't run away like that, you worried me.

Immediately after seeing the puppy, a woman who seems to be her owner walks over to where I am sitting, and when I wait for her to notice my presence and quickly move away, she reacts completely differently.

???: Oh no, are you okay? Are you hurt, do you need help?

She is the first person who reacts with concern the moment she saw me and I don't know how to respond, I can't think of anything that would explain my situation to someone unrelated to the Sekirei plan.

Akitsu: ... I'm fine.

???: You don't look fine, is your home near here?

Akitsu: I don't have a home.

A Sekirei's home is with her ashikabi, I can't have a home.

Despite my attitude she still tried to help me, that's very nice of her but no one can help me.

???: I see... OK, my house is not far from here, I can lend you some clothes and when you feel better, tell me what happened to you OK.

The woman took my hand and she gently lifted me from the bench where I was sitting, the aura around her was quite relaxing and made me feel safe, in the end, I couldn't say anything and ended up following her home, on the way she told me her name, Kurokawa Yuna, and she was also making small talk to get me to talk but all I could tell her was my name.

The closer we got to her house the more nervous I got as we were walking directly towards the group of powerful sekireis that everyone avoids, Yuna-san isn't an ashikabi so she must be a relative of the ashikabi of the north, is it okay for me to follow Yuna-san?

//////////

Yuna: Girls~, can you come here for a moment.

When we arrived at her house, Yuna-san immediately called out to the sekireis who were living here, and soon after six Sekireis appeared in front of me and two of them were twins.

Yuna: Matsu-chan could you take care of Akitsu-chan while I find some clothes for her, I couldn't get her to tell me what happened to her, maybe you girls will have better luck.

Matsu: ...Ok, I'll take care of her mother.

Yuna: thank you~, Akitsu-chan please make yourself at home.

When Yuna left, one of the twins was the first to speak.

???: Hey, you came here on someone's orders or something.

Matsu: Calm down Mitsuki, look at her forehead she's a discarded number, she doesn't have an ashikabi.

Mitsuki: but she could be working with Higa or one of his lackeys.

???: Um, that sounds like something that idiot Higa would do.

Akitsu: ...I am alone

The twin named Mitsuki questions my presence here while another Sekirei with three katanas strapped to her waist mentions someone they seem to be on bad terms with, I don't want to create a misunderstanding so I deny any relationship with that Ashikabi.

Matsu: I don't think she's on Higa's side, our mother was the one who brought her here and that's enough for me.

All the sekireis lower their guard a bit at the mention of Yuna-san, it seems they respect her a lot.

Mitsuki: are you sure?

Matsu: Trust me, I'm the older sister, you know?

While Yuna-san was looking for clothes for me, I told them what happened in the park, as sekireis they understood the situation and the hostility I felt decreased noticeably, all the sekireis introduced themselves and then they continued with what they were doing before I arrived, leaving me alone with Matsu and Mitsuha waiting for Yuna-san to return, which didn't take long, she came back with a big smile and a couple of outfits for me in her arms.

Yuna: oh, Matsu-chan where are the others?

Matsu: Akitsu explained her situation to us, mother, nothing bad happened to her, she just doesn't have a place to live right now.

Yuna: What a relief, Akitsu-chan, you can stay here as long as you need.

Akitsu: thanks... You guys are doing too much for me, if there is anything I can help you with just tell me.

Yuna: hehe, don't worry Akitsu-chan I just did what anyone would have done.

Yuna-san's kindness warms my heart a bit and even if it's not a big deal for her, I want to repay that kindness.

After changing my clothes Matsu took me to an unoccupied room that I would be using, There wasn't much in it other than a bed, some furniture, and a place to put my clothes, but that was more than enough for me.

//////////

What everyone was doing before I showed up was, preparing a room for two girls who were going to live in this house ' what a coincidence ' and I obviously offered to help them, I also had the opportunity to meet another member of this family, Ryouma, Yuna-san's husband, and after that, I approached Matsu to talk to her about how to pay my debt to Yuna-san.

Matsu: Do you want to fight alongside us?

Matsu is nice to me, but the other sekireis still distrust me a bit, I don't blame them, If I had an ashikabi, his safety and that of the people he cares about would be my top priority, so I want to prove that I would never betray the kindness Yuna-san showed me.

Akitsu: yes... Your ashikabi is Yuna-san's relative, right?

Matsu: yes, he is her son.

Akitsu: I'm not good at many things, but I can fight and at the moment I don't know how else I can help.

Matsu closes her eyes thinking about what I said and after a few seconds, a smile appears on her face.

Matsu: if that's what you want, then you should talk to Yuuki.

*woof woof*

As we were talking, Sif the family pet came up to me, she was staring at me wagging her tail from side to side and I picked her up in my hands.

' Right, I'm here because you found me '

Akitsu: ... Thank you.

Matsu: um?

Matsu was confused by what I said but she couldn't ask me any questions because at that moment two women and a girl entered the house.

???: We are home.

They were more of the Sekirei of the ashikabi of this house, Yuuki, Matsu immediately approached them and they started to talk.

Yuuki's parents approached me and when Matsu and the others finished talking they walked over to us and the little girl ran into Yuna-san's arms.

Yuna: Kuu-chan, did you have fun today?

Kuu: yes mother.

Uzume: hello, mother, father, nice to meet you, my name is Uzume.

Yuna: nice to meet you Uzume-chan, Yuuki-chan has told me a lot about you, but... where is Chiho-chan?

According to Matsu, two girls would be coming today and when Yuna-san only sees Uzume, she moves her head looking for the other girl.

Uzume: Chiho and Yuuki were behind us, they will arrive in a few moments.

Yuna: I see, this is Akitsu-chan, she will also be living in this house from today.

Uzume looks at me for a few seconds and she gives me an understanding smile, Uzume continues talking excitedly with Yuuki's parents making a good first impression while I introduce myself to the other Sekireis who had just arrived, and just as Uzume said two more people entered after them, Chiho the other girl who was waiting, introduces herself with Yuuki's parents and me, my response to her greeting was short because at that moment I was distracted.

The moment I looked at the man who entered together with Chiho, my heart started pounding, my vision became a bit blurry, and small ice fragments formed on my skin, I couldn't control my body or my powers but as he got closer I regained control of my body.

He was quite similar to Yuna-san in appearance and also had a similar aura around him, the moment he was in front of me something inside me changed, that was the first of many changes.

So this is Yuuki.
