Sorry that this took so long. I know it's been a year plus since I last updated this story, but I'm not dead, and I do intend to try and keep updating all my stories. Unfortunately I do have a full time job, a significant other and a video game habit/addiction along with an interest in firearms.

Chapter 10

Staring at the TV Minato doesn't know what program is currently being shown. Sitting in the living room of Izumo Inn Minato isn't alone. On his left Kazehana sits right next to him, Minato uncomfortably aware of the warm soft feeling pressing against his left arm. Every time the young man glances toward her Kazehana seems only to be smiling, completely happy just being close to him.

She's completely different from Karasuba…I can't even imagine Karasuba sitting like this, or giving me a lap pillow or rest my head on her breasts…not that Karasuba has much on Kazehana in that regard…

On his opposite side sits Miya, the lavender haired woman looking less than thrilled, every time Minato looks at her Miya wears a scowl on her face, the expression seemingly directed toward Kazehana. From what he can tell Miya doesn't like the fact that Kazehana is so close to him. For his part Minato can sort of understand how Miya feels. The two of them have been out on a date, and while neither of them has done any more than that it's clear that Miya has some interest in him. She can't be happy that another woman is openly trying to be close to him.

Turning his attention back to the TV Minato doesn't know what to do as a woman walks into the living room.

"Ku, ku, ku…" A familiar giggle reaches Minato's ears.

Sitting down Matsu wears a grin on her lips, Minato not sure what to think of the busty brunette. She always seems to have her mind in the gutter, every time Minato sees her it seems like she's thinking about something dirty.

"Matsu-san…" Minato mumbles, not sure what to say to her.

"Well, well, well, aren't you the popular one Mina-tan?"

Frowning Minato doesn't know what to say in response to that. He barely knows Kazehana and being her Ashikabi he feels like he should respect her. Even if she is an alien and not technically human she isn't some object to be owned. He also doesn't know whether or not Matsu is a Sekirei too. From what he's been told by Minaka, the number of Sekirei presently released is in the low double digits, not even 20. What are the odds that in a city filled with over a million people Minato is going to run in to three of them?

"I really don't know how it happened…" Minato replies with a nervous chuckle.

"Well…it is nice to see Kazehana-tan happy…" Matsu replies, and Kazehana giggles, rubbing her check against his left shoulder, giggling lovingly.

"Why wouldn't I be happy?" Kazehana asks, talking to Matsu. "I've got a new man in my life…"

Grinning Matsu turns her head away, speaking under her breath.

"Not that you went very far in your search…" Matsu mutters, and Minato blinks in surprise, not sure he heard what Matsu said.

"Huh…?" Minato asks curiously, not understanding what Matsu said.

"Not that it matters." Miya quickly speaks, cutting Matsu off. "One of the rules of Izumo Inn is there will be no sexual relations between unmarried patrons."

Matsu's face contorting in confusion the bosomy woman reaches up, pushing her glasses up to the bridge of her nose.

"What about you and Takehito?" Matsu asks pointedly, and Miya doesn't flinch at Matsu's reply.

"Takehito and I were married." Miya replies.

"Ku, ku, ku…not at first…" Matsu giggles, and Miya scowls, the demon appearing behind the Landlady.

"That was well before you moved in here, freeloader." Miya replies, and Matsu visibly stiffens, any humor vanishing from the woman as though it were never there.

"Of…of course!" Matsu agrees, nodding empathically, her fear as clear as day to Minato.

"How scary…" Kazehana says matter of factly. "Whatever could you want with such a scary woman Minato?"

Blinking the demon disappears from behind Miya, the purple haired woman turning a suddenly insecure gaze toward Minato, Kazehana's point not lost on either Minato nor Miya.

She's asking what I could find attractive in a woman that uses fear to get what she wants…

"Well…Miya-chan is the Landlady here, so…" Minato shrugs his shoulders.

"Still…wouldn't you rather have someone nice with big titties like me?" Kazehana asks, a pout in her voice.

Her right eyebrow twitching in irritation Miya feels a pang of fury at Kazehana's mention of her breast size and the obvious fact that Kazehana's are bigger. Unbeknownst to Minato Kazehana's…sweater cows…are the greatest of any Sekirei.

Not that size is all that matters… Miya thinks to herself.

Minato's face turning cherry red at Kazehana's question Minato's mouth falls open in shock.

"Th…That's…" Minato manages to stutter.

"Size isn't everything Kazehana." Miya replies matter of factly.

"That's right." Matsu chimes in, her tone showing a mild hint of offense. "Besides, if someone wanted to experiment a little with my breasts I'd be more than willing…"

Accenting the word 'someone' Matsu intentionally glances at Minato, the young man missing Matsu's shifting glance.

Miya however, does not miss the way Matsu looks at Minato, or the way her voice changes when she does.

What do you expect? He's already an Ashikabi, thanks to Kazehana, so it's only natural that Matsu would start reacting to him.

"Experiment?" Minato asks, clueless as to what Matsu is talking about.

Still pressing her breasts into Minato's arm Kazehana giggles playfully.

"She means she wants you to fondle her Minato-kun." Kazehana explains, and Minato's mouth drops open.

He's never had a woman be even remotely sexually attracted to him. To say that he's never had a woman say anything remotely like 'I want you to fondle my breasts' is the absolute truth. While he's had myriad dreams about Kazehana Minato knows that those are just dreams, and have no bearing on reality. He also doesn't know how to feel about Kazehana, much less Matsu. He's only known Kazehana for less than a month, and Matsu not even forty eight hours. If he'd ever met a girl in high school that wanted to jump into his pants that quickly his mother would've told him that she was a dirty slut and to not pursue her. While Minato doesn't think either Matsu or Kazehana are loose women he also knows that he's never met any loose women before, so he really doesn't know what they look or act like…

"I…uh…" Minato mumbles, and Miya can't stand it anymore.

"Minato, you're free tonight, right?" Miya asks, and Minato blinks in surprise.

All three heads in the room turning toward the Landlady Minato bobs his head in affirmation.

"Yeah, I'm free tonight." Minato replies.

"Good." Miya replies matter of factly. "You want to go see a movie tonight? I saw a preview for one that I'd like to see."

Hearing Miya inviting Minato out both Kazehana and Matsu's mouths drop open in surprise.

"Miya! That's not fair!" Kazehana insists, Matsu's expression mirroring Kazehana's protest.

"Uh…I'd like that Miya-chan…" Minato answers, and Kazehana and Matsu both blink in surprise.

"Good, after dinner we can go to the theater." Miya replies, and Kazehana blinks.

"Are you free this Saturday Minato-kun?" Kazehana asks, and Minato blinks, momentarily thinking about his schedule.

"I…I am…" Minato answers, and Kazehana smiles.

"Perfect! There's some shopping I need your help with so we can do it then!"

Blinking Minato is hit with a sudden memory, dragging bags behind his mother and younger sister from the local mall. Growing up he's done it more than he cares to admit, so it is with those memories in mind that Minato nods in understanding.

"All right then Kazehana-chan." Minato agrees.

Suppressing a frown Miya pushes herself to her feet, not at all enthused with the idea of Minato spending a day out shopping alone with Kazehana.

"Well…time to start on dinner…" Miya trails.

Ninety Minutes Later.

Walking out of Izumo Inn Miya and Minato are together, the two of them walking hand in hand. Rather than wearing her more traditional attire Miya wears a pair of blue jeans and a white tank top, Minato unconsciously eying Miya in her more modern attire. Since she normally dresses in such a conservative manner, it's a treat for Minato to see her wearing something that actually accents her curves.

Walking down the sidewalk Minato's eyes keep drifting toward her, the young man stealing glances of Miya, shame forcing him to look away after only a moment.

"Something wrong Minato?" Miya asks, and Minato blinks in surprise.

"No! It's just…" Minato mutters, not quite sure what he wants to say.

He doesn't want to tell Miya that he likes it when she dresses more femininely. He doesn't dislike how she normally dresses, it's just it doesn't help him to remember that she's a beautiful woman with a curvy figure.

Befuddled Minato sighs tiredly.

"It's nice to see you wear clothes that accentuate your figure Miya-chan." Minato explains to her.

Walking next to him Miya cocks her head to the side curiously.

"Do you not like how I normally dress?" Miya asks, and Minato quickly shakes his head no.

"NO! It's just…it makes it easy to forget how beautiful you are, so…" Minato mutters, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

Smiling Miya doesn't miss the compliment buried under Minato's embarrassment.

"So…you think I'm beautiful, do you Minato?" Miya asks playfully, and Minato's face turns a deep shade of red.

"O-Of course!" Minato stammers, his nervousness palpable in the air around him.

In spite of the fact that he's been out with Miya once before Minato is still very unsure of himself and how to act on a date. He knows that Miya wants to go see a movie, but he has no idea what movie Miya wants to see or when it's playing. All he knows is she told him that they will have plenty of time to get to the theater by leaving the Inn when they did.

Giggling Miya raises her left hand, covering her mouth to somewhat stifle the giggle.

"I'm happy to hear that Minato-kun." Miya replies warmly, Minato sighing, some of his tension seeping out of him.

"I'm sorry Miya-chan." Minato apologizes to the lavender haired woman. "Even though we've been on a date before I still don't have any real experience with women…"

"Because your mother and sister were both strong willed?" Miya half asks, and Minato slowly nods.

In truth 'strong willed' is putting it mildly. Both Yukari and Takami more or less used Minato as slave labor since Yukari turned 10. While not quite 'illegal' they were borderline abusive, and growing up in that household Minato quickly learned that the best answer he can give a woman when they ask him to do something is 'yes' and to follow through immediately. Unfortunately for him that also meant Minato wasn't the type to approach a girl and try to talk to her or ask her out on a date. While not a male model with a little confidence he could've at least gotten a girlfriend and gone out on dates in high school, rather than going through his entire four years of high school as a quasi-monk whose sole reason to exist was study and get good grades.

"Ye…yeah…" Minato answers, reaching up and scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Just relax Minato-kun." Miya tries to assure him. "I wouldn't have asked you out unless I wanted to get to know you better, so there's no need to be nervous."

"I…I'll try Miya-chan."

Walking back into the Inn from the movie theater Minato and Miya hold hands, the two of them having seen a late afternoon showing of a movie, a romantic comedy about two people looking for love that can't seem to figure out that they're perfect for each other until two thirds of the way through the movie. For some reason Minato could understand how the two of them could not see one another even though they saw one another practically every day. Running into Miya like he did and ultimately becoming a resident of Izumo Inn Minato never thought that Miya would ever be interested in him romantically.

Then again, I never thought that any woman would be interested in me that way. I always just sort of thought that I'd end up dying alone. Now though I have a woman like Miya and a beautiful big breasted alien woman that wants to jump my bones…

While not the most perceptive man on the planet Minato can't miss the way Kazehana looks at him or the way she presses her chest against his arm or legs or any other way she can, though she hasn't come out and said it Minato is almost positive that Kazehana would sleep with him given the opportunity.

Then there's those dreams…

Ever since Kazehana kissed him and he became her Ashikabi the dreams about Kazehana have stopped, though Minato doesn't really know what to make of the dreams in the first place. Minaka had told him that a Sekirei's connection to their Ashikabi was as mental as it was physical, though he didn't say that they could have a shared dream or anything even remotely like that.

"We're back." Miya calls out as the two of them enter the Inn proper, both Minato and Miya slipping off their shoes as they enter the Inn.

"I wonder where Matsu and Kazehana are…" Minato mumbles, a part of him half expecting to see Kazehana come flying down the steps and barrel into him, his face somehow finding her chest.

"Hopefully they're in bed." Miya replies, the lavender haired woman not really believing what she's saying.

Much to her own chagrin Miya was half expecting to see at least Kazehana waiting for Minato to return to the Inn. For Miya she wouldn't put it past her former comrade to be walking around the Inn in her underwear or in her birthday suit. Her excuse of course being 'my clothes are in the wash so I have to walk around like this.'

"Well…I'm going to go to bed." Minato sighs, reaching up and stretching his arms over his head. "I'll get a shower in the morning before I go to cram school…"

"OK." Miya agrees easily.

Minato heading for the stairs Miya contemplates giving Minato a good night kiss, but ultimately chooses not to act on the idea. The two of them have only been on two dates, and while their relationship is far from normal she doesn't want to push him farther than he's willing to go. With Kazehana practically chomping at the bit to be with him the last thing Miya wants to do is scare Minato off. She also has to make sure that Kazehana doesn't try anything with him. The last thing she wants is for Kazehana to end up taking Minato's virginity.

Sighing Miya heads to her own bedroom, the Landlady of Izumo Inn hoping that things will stay quiet for the rest of the night.

XXX

Walking toward his bedroom door Minato sighs, a part of him wanting to stop and wish Matsu good night but Minato chooses not to do so. Matsu is a strange woman and the way she talks about things Minato doesn't know how she'd act in private without Miya to curtail her.

And there's the fact that if she's a Sekirei she could try and kiss you, and the last thing you need right now is another woman in your life…

Nodding to himself Minato reaches for his bedroom door, blissfully unaware what awaits him on the other side.

20 Minutes Earlier…

"They're on their way back now!"

Sitting in front of her keyboard Matsu's hands fly over the keys, Takehito's old computer room giving Matsu a great deal of access to information that most other people couldn't hope to achieve. Standing behind her Kazehana smiles, the monitor displaying a blue blip on a section of a capital map, the map showing the GPS location of Minato's phone, Matsu easily able to hack the device and activate the feature.

"So…you still want to do that?" Kazehana asks, Matsu grinning as she looks over her shoulder toward the other single number.

"Ku, ku, ku…" Matsu's giggle all but confirms her intentions, Kazehana smiling.

"Well…then we need to get ready…"

Present

Opening his bedroom door Minato can faintly smell something out of the ordinary, but the young man can't quite put his finger on what he's smelling, his eyes on the floor as Minato walks into the room, his gaze rising only to have his eyeballs practically pop out of their sockets.

Standing there both Matsu and Kazehana smile at him, Minato's mouth dropping open at the sight of the both of them. Standing there both of them wear a girl's school uniform, the skirts barely covering their panties with the buttons on both blouses practically popping off, Kazehana's more so than Matsu's, though from what Minato can see neither blouse wants to restrain the bosom that has somehow been crammed into it.

It is in shocked silence that Minato notes that Kazehana is wearing a lacy black bra, while Matsu doesn't appear to be wearing any, thanks to the holes between the buttons their blouses…

Matsu stands with her arms up above her head, her arms crossed at the wrists, her chest stuck out, her shoulders pulling up on her blouse to expose a section of her stomach between the blouse and her skirt. Kazehana on the other hand has her arms crossed beneath her chest, her bosom resting on her arms the motion pulls upward on her blouse like Matsu's pose does, but unlike with Matsu Minato can see much more of Kazehana's stomach, thanks to the sheer size of her breasts and the small size of the blouse…

"Hello Mina-tan…" Matsu smiles at him, her hair now tied into twin pony tails, her glasses completing the entire ensemble, the buxom brunette looking very much like a school girl wearing glasses.

"We've both been bad girls Minato…" Kazehana practically purrs, her accent on the word 'bad' oozing innuendo.

"…A…" Minato cannot enunciate, no words passing his lips.

"Maybe you should spank us Mina-tan…" Matsu 'suggests,' the two of them wrapping their arms around one another, their breasts pressing against one another and causing even more strain against their already strained tops.

"Oooh…" Kazehana smiles at the suggestion, turning her gaze toward Minato. "Wouldn't you like that Minato? Throwing the both of us over your legs and spanking us until we've learned our lesson?"

Standing there Minato struggles to think, to put the image of Matsu and Kazehana both lying on his lap, their skirts hiked up, their bottoms covered only by a pair of panties, his hands striking each of them again and again as they both cry out each time his hand hits one of them, either from pain or pleasure…

Blinking Minato shakes his head, trying to look away and get the image and the sound out of his head.

Why are they even doing this!? What is it about me that they would even consider doing something like this?

"You…" Minato stammers, trying to articulate what he wants to say.

"What's wrong Mina-tan?" Matsu asks, raising her pointer finger to her lips, a childish pout on her features. "Don't you want to experiment with Kaze-tan and me?"

"You…you shouldn't be doing this sort of thing for someone like me." Minato replies, and both Kazehana and Matsu blink in surprise at Minato's statement.

It isn't what either of them had thought he would say.

"Minato…what are you talking about?" Kazehana asks, and Minato's hands ball into fists.

"You're both good women. You shouldn't be throwing yourselves at someone like me when you could do better…"

Meaning every syllable Minato can't understand why either Kazehana or Matsu would even think about what they're talking about. While Miya has her own charm both Kazehana and Matsu could pursue careers in modeling and probably be quite successful at it. He can't fathom how two women like them could possibly throw themselves at him like they are. Who is he? Why does he even warrant their attention?

It doesn't even occur to him that Kazehana is a Sekirei and that Matsu might just be one too.

Standing there both women feel a rush of warmth for the young man standing in the doorway. Never before has a human ever treated them like Minato is, they've always been aliens, monsters, things, subjects to be experimented on or studied.

"Minato!" Miya's voice calls from the stairwell. "Is everything all right up there?"

Blinking Minato looks at the both of them, the young man swallowing the saliva in his mouth.

"You both should go back to your rooms…" Minato speaks to the both of them, his voice low. "Before Miya-chan comes to check on me."

Both Matsu and Kazehana sharing a look the two of them nod, knowing full well how Miya will likely react to seeing them both in their current situation. She'd likely leave the both of them with several new lumps on their skulls if not throw the both of them out.

"We'll pick this up later…" Matsu replies, and Kazehana nods, winking at Minato.

"Look forward to it Minato." Kazehana smiles, her expression oozing innuendo.

"Minato!" Miya's voice calls again, much louder this time and carrying with it more than a little suspicion. "Is something going on?"

Both Matsu and Kazehana stepping toward him Minato steps back and away, allowing both of the buxom women past before he calls out to Miya.

"Everything is fine!" Minato calls out, hoping that Miya won't come up the steps until after Matsu and Kazehana have gone into their own bedrooms. Watching Matsu walk toward the end of the hall Minato watches as Matsu pushes the hidden door open, stepping inside.

The door closing Minato shifts his gaze to Kazehana, the raven haired beauty momentarily standing next to him in the hallway.

"Are you sure?" Miya calls out. "Kazehana or Matsu haven't done anything, have they?"

Shifting a guilty look toward Kazehana she smiles back at him, her expression remorseless guilt, Kazehana in no way ashamed to have been unknowingly called out by Miya.

"They haven't done anything." Minato lies through his teeth.

As if on cue Kazehana reaches out, her arms wrapping around his neck Minato blinks in surprise, his head spinning around in time to feel Kazehana's fingers on the back of his head, his head suddenly being pulled forward, his eyes becoming flooded with a mix of white and peach, something large and soft surrounding nearly both sides of his face.

Is she pressing my face into her breasts!?

His entire body as stiff as a board Kazehana opens her arms after a moment, pulling back with a smile on her face.

"Good night Minato." Kazehana smiles at him before stepping into her own bedroom, Minato standing there stunned.

I can't believe she did that…
