Chapter 1: Back on the grid

'How long has it been? A year? 10? Maybe 20? I can't really say. It could have even been eternity and I'd still won't notice.' Thought a certain man in black and white, as he made his way up a set of stairs in a dimly lit room.

Said individual was wearing an all black full body suit, black gloves, and a white hooded trench coat that had seen better days.

He finally reached what looked like an exit and carefully opened the door, making no noise as it opened and let more light into wherever he was. He silently left his lair and closed the door behind him as he looked at the outside world he'd stayed hidden from for who knows how long.

'Time to see what's new here and also stay up to date.' The man took a few steps and 'disappeared' into the environment without leaving a trace.

...

Shinto Teito, Year 2020

'So this is Shinto Teito, formerly the city of Tokyo? I wonder what happened to cause such change?'

The white and black clothed man was sitting on top of a building, looking down below at the cars and people moving about from one place to another. It didn't take long for him to find out that Tokyo, Japan had become Shinto Teito, Japan. Instead of panicking, he calmly tried to make sense of the situation he was now in and so far he was coming up empty.

'Might as well go down to ground level. I won't be able to find everything out from the rooftops.'

One moment he was moving away from the edge of the building then the next he was on the ground, wearing a much better looking white hooded trench coat. He easily melded into the crowd of commuters and people moving about. No one even paid attention to him. The man eventually stopped by an electronics store where he saw TVs on display by the store window.

'Maybe I'll get some info from the TV here.'

"And in other breaking news Hiroto Minaka, the President of MBI has bought up 80% of all Shinto Teito stocks..." The man looked at one of the tvs on display to see a man with white messy hair, glasses, white suit and a white cape sitting in a chair like he was some king. He ignored the rest of the news as he blended into the crowd once more.

'Someone's overcompensating for his douche baggery. And this MBI basically owns a portion of Japan. Wow! How quaint.'

The news he heard brought up some memories of large corporations that bought up cities and their violent downfalls. When will people ever learn that no good can come out of large companies buying the country or cities.

'Whatever not my problem. If they want to get fucked by corporations like MBI, whom I know will fuck them over, then it's not my problem if it happens. They'll only have their stupid selves to blame.'

As he continued walking past the many people that went in the opposite and same direction he went, the hooded man sensed that someone was following him, which was a surprise to him. He had made efforts to not bring attention to himself and this person had begun following after he crossed the last intersection.

'There's no way anyone would have seen or sensed me at all unless it was those two and it's obvious that it's none of them that's following me.'

Deciding to lose his stalker or at least lead them elsewhere so that he'd confront them, the hooded man 'vanished' from the crowd into the shadows of a nearby alley. Then from there he was on top of the building looking down on the street he'd left without a trace to look for whoever was tailing him. Seeing no one apparently looking for him, he sighed and relaxed a bit.

'Maybe I'm getting paranoid. Being off the grid for a long time is bound to do that to someone.'

However he tensed up again as he sensed the familiar presence again, now on the rooftop of the building next to the one he was on. He could tell that it was a female and she was adept at stealth like he was and used the shadows to her advantage. Though she tried her best to stay undetected by him, he could still tell that she was around and pinpoint her location.

'So you know a thing about stealth. But let's see how you do against a ghost?'

He walked into the shadow created by the entrance to the rooftop and vanished from the female's sight surprising her. She leaps to the building he was on and looked around trying to find him but to no avail. He had vanished right in plain sight. Like a ghost. The woman placed her hand close to her chest as she felt her heart beating quickly in anticipation of this hunt. An open challenge by this man saying, "Find me if you can."

'It's only a matter of time before I find you Ashikabi-sama.' The woman thought as she too vanished into the shadows like her target did earlier. After she had gone, the man himself later reappeared in an alley, looking up at the building where he and the woman were once standing.

'Okay. Who in the world is that woman? She just vanished into the shadows like I did. And here I thought I was the only one capable of literally walking and hiding in the shadows.'

He found out that the sun was setting and soon it would become his favorite time of the day. Night time where he really became a ghost. Under the shadow of his hood the man grinned in anticipation the darkness of the night.

'Night's coming. It'll be just the time for me to explore this place and find out about the major places here and also get a place to stay.'

Chapter 1 end.

This is my first fanfic involving the Sekirei anime which I started watching a few months ago. So bear with me with the way I write this.

My OC is the main guy here though Minato would get some screen time of his own. As for his sekirei, well you should have already figured out the first one.

My OC himself is one of my other OCs that is in one of my other fanfics. Take a guess who by sending me a PM.

Read and review.

Sayonara!
