Chapter: III

Pervious on Sekirei: Wings & Wagtails

Tokyo, Japan

Café

"Eh, onii-chan. Who's this?"

"Miya, I'm Minato's…" "Girlfriend"

"Girl…friend…?"

Present

"A girlfriend! When the hell did you get a girlfriend?!" Yukari yelled attracting the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

"Shhh… Quite down Yukari, I'll explain, but let's sit down first. We're attracting too much attention" Minato said trying to calm his sister down.

"Tsk…Fine, whatever, but it better be good!" Yukari said menacingly as she sat back down at the table she was previously sitting at, Minato followed with Miya in tow.

After everyone in the restaurant returned their attention to what they were formerly doing, Yukari began her interrogation.

"Alright, spill it. When did you get a girlfriend? Why don't I know? And why didn't you tell me about having a girlfriend?" Yukari spoke, asking question after question, not allowing Minato to answer.

"One at a time Yukari" Minato said, attempting to halt the onslaught of questions from Yukari.

After Yukari halted her interrogation, and after ordering and receiving their drinks, Minato decided it was time to answer Yukari's questions.

Taking a sip of his drink, Minato spoke calmly. "I had just recently gotten a girlfriend that is why you didn't know, because it was just recently".

"How recently?" Yukari questioned, arching a brow.

"About a week ago, give or take a few days" Minato replied.

"Alright then how did you two meet? Because I don't recognize her at all" Yukari asked, pressing on her interrogation.

"We just met this year, and had only gone on a few dates. We've just recently became a couple. And the reason why you two haven't met was because up until now you haven't visited me and I haven't had the time to visit you, Oji-san, and Obā-san" Minato answered, before taking a sip of his tea.

"Hmm… I see" Yukari said suspiciously, as she eyed Minato for a moment, before moving her gaze towards Miya, who had been silent during the interrogation.

"Anyway, what's your name? I didn't catch it, sorry" Yukari asked.

"It's Miya" Miya replied as she sipped her tea.

"How about your last name?" Yukari said.

"It's Asama Miya" Minato answered for Miya, knowing that she didn't have a surname.

Miya just nodded, following Minato's lead.

"Hmm…" Yukari eyed the Ashikabi and Sekirei suspiciously for a few moments, before backing off.

"Alright, fine, I guess you're telling the truth. Though I think you're holding something back. But for now I'll let it slide" Yukari said.

Minato silently released a sigh of relief.

"By the way where kā-san?" Minato asked.

Before Yukari could answer, her phone suddenly rang. Pulling out and seeing she had gotten a message, read it.

"Who's it from?" Minato asked.

"Kā-san" Yukari answered.

"What does it say?" Minato asked.

"She says that she got tied up at work and can't make" Yukari answered.

At this point a waitress came to take their orders. After taking their orders and leaving, the three began to speak with one another. Minato and Yukari; catching up on what has happened in each other's lives, Minato being careful as to not say anything that might tip Yukari off, while Yukari and Miya chatted to get to know another; the latter being assisted by Minato, until the waitress came back with their meals.

Sometime Later

After finishing their meal and paying for it, though Minato had ended up paying because Yukari had "conveniently" "forgotten" her wallet. The three were currently outside of the restaurant saying their goodbyes.

"You sure you're going to be alright getting to the station?" Minato asked, concerned about his younger sister.

"I'm sure. It's just a few blocks" Yukari answered.

"I can take you there if you want" Minato offered.

"No need. Also you don't need to worry about my safety. I can take care of myself" Yukari responded.

Before Minato could respond, a black sedan pulled up. After stopping a man came out of the driver's side. He wore a black suit and tie, with a white dress shirt, a pair of black shoes, and also a pair of black sunglasses to conceal his eyes. He also had a platinum colored pin on his suit. All in all one could say he looked as if he worked for a secret government agency or something due to how he was dressed.

"Sahashi Yukari?" the man asked.

"Yes?" Yukari responded.

"Kimura Hiro. I'm here to drive you to the rail station" the man said.

"Drive me?" Yukari asked.

"Yes, your mother sent me to drive you, when she couldn't come" Hiro answered.

"Kā-san?" Yukari and Minato both asked.

"Yes, your mother requested my employer to send someone to drive you to the station"

"Why? She knows that I can take care of myself" Yukari replied.

"I do not know of all the details, only what I have been told" Hiro answered politely.

"Sigh… I guess that answers nothing" Yukari said with a sigh.

"Fine, fine" Yukari said while waving her hand dismissingly. "At least I get a free ride".

Opening the door to the vehicle Hiro gestured for Yukari to get in. Before entering the vehicle, Yukari turned to her older brother.

"Sayōnara onii-chan. I'll see you next time" Yukari said with a wave.

"Sayōnara Yukari" Minato said, waving goodbye as Yukari entered the vehicle.

After Yukari had entered the vehicle and Hiro had closed the door, Minato proceeded to walk back to her car. Miya followed, but not without giving one last glance towards Hiro.

"Minato" Miya said.

"Yes?" Minato responded turning his head towards Miya's.

"I have I strange feeling that Kimura-san isn't just a regular…" Miya wasn't able to finish when Minato spoke.

"Driver" Minato finished for Miya.

"How…" Miya started.

"Did I know?" Miya nodded. "Well, it's due to how he held himself, by the looks of it he's probably former military, now working private security. My kā-san probably wanted to make sure Yukari got home safely and arranged for someone to drive when she couldn't" Minato answered.

Meanwhile

Teito Tower, MBI Headquarters

Takami's Office

In Takami's office we find the woman in question at her desk going through quite a bit of paperwork and files, all while smoking a cigarette in the dark, her only light being the lamp on her desk that she had on.

"I thought you said you were going to quit that habit of yours?" a male voice said from the shadows.

It was obvious that Takami was familiar with the man as she had no reaction, and continued to go through the files stacked on her desk.

"I did, but this helps relieve stress when dealing with that lunatic" Takami replied.

"Very well, it is not my place to say what you do with your life, but Minato would have complained about this habit of your. In fact didn't he do such a thing several times in the past?" the man asked still choosing to reside in the shadows.

"Cut the crap and get to the point already. I'm held up on all this paperwork and I don't have time for these little conversations" Takami said annoyed.

"Very well, your daughter; Yukari has been picked up and has been safely driven to the rail station" the man said.

"Good. How much do I owe you?" Takami asked.

"My usually, but since this was about Minato's imouto, no charge" the man said.

"Really?" Takami asked.

"Yes. Minato and I are friends. I don't charge to help friends, but don't think I won't charge you or MBI next time" the man said.

"I get the point. I just don't want Yukari to get involved with what going on" Takami stated.

"And what is that exactly? You were either quite vague or said nothing" the man asked.

"Nothing that you need to know"

"I shall take my leave then"

Sahashi Minato's Residence

Minato's BMW soon arrived back to his home. After parking and exiting the vehicle, the two proceeded to walk towards the house, while continuing their conversation they had on the ride home.

"So your mother works for a pharmaceutical company?"

"Sort of, she and her employers mostly work on antibiotics for biological weapons".

"So that's why her company has contracted a private security firm?"

"Assuming, yes"

"There are a lot of terrorists and criminals that wouldn't like it if their chemical weapons were rendered ineffective if there was already a cure or a counter for it. They would also love to get their hands on a sample of a chemical agent to use or sell as a weapon"

"Hence the security"

"Yep"

The two of them suddenly stopped when they noticed a large box in front of Minato's front door.

"What's this?" Minato asked, looking at the box.

"I don't know" Miya replied, eyeing the box as well.

Deciding to see what it was, Minato took out a Swiss Army Knife he carried in his pocket and knelt down. But before opening it Minato immediately examined the box for any surprises on the mystery box. Seeing as there were none, Minato cautiously and carefully opened the box, alert for any surprises.

After cutting the tape and seal on the box carefully, and seeing that nothing happened, Minato proceeded to open the box slowly. After opening the box completely and nothing has happen still, Minato decided it was safe to see what was in the box.

"What the?" Minato asked confused as he looked inside the box.

Inside the box was a nodachi with a purple hilt, there were also several outfits of the same design: a tight leather black top, a black miniskirt, black stockings, and lastly a grey haori with the Sekirei Crest printed on its back and shoulders.

Minato's question was soon answered by Miya.

"That's my sword and the outfit I wore when I was in the Disciplinary Squad" Miya stated.

'This is what you wore?" Minato asked, picturing Miya in the tight black leather clothing, but quickly canceled his thoughts as he nearly gained a nosebleed.

"Is the clothing weird?" Miya asked, wondering if her Ashikabi thought that it didn't look good on her.

"N-no, I mean no, it's not. I'm just surprised that… Never mind, just… never mind" Minato responded, not wanting to continue the conversation.

"So this is your sword?" Minato asked as he picked up the nodachi.

"Yes" Miya answered. "It's the sword MBI gave me".

"MBI? Wait, does that mean that they're the ones who sent this?" Minato questioned.

"Probably they're the only ones who could have had my sword, not to mention my uniform" Miya replied.

"Why would they send it though?" Minato questioned.

"Probably for the Sekirei Plan" Miya answered.

At that, Minato's demeanor changed to a… less calm one, remembering that MBI were the ones forcing Miya and her race to fight each other just to stay with their Ashikabi. Seeing Minato's demeanor change, Miya quickly changed the subject.

"Though I do not know why they would send my old uniform. I wonder if it still fits?" Miya asked no one in particular as she took one of the black tops out.

"Perhaps it's time for another modeling session, ne Minato" Miya teased.

Minato's cheeks flushed at Miya's teasing, remembering when Miya had decided to mess with him by modeling some interesting clothes in front of him.

Next Morning

We currently find Miya in bed in the master bedroom. She was dressed in a purple nightgown that Minato had brought for her the day before. Miya was sleeping quite peacefully as she laid in bed, but she was soon awoken from her slumber by the rays of light emanating from the windows. Opening her eyes she expected to see Minato still in bed with her, but was surprised to see the space next to her empty. Sitting up, Miya looked around the room. Her attention was soon turned to some noises coming from the backyard of the residence.

Backyard

In the backyard of the Minato's house, was none other than Minato himself. Minato was dressed in a white karategi or gi as he practiced martial arts. Currently Minato was practicing on a wooden training dummy, not noticing a certain lavender haired beauty watching from afar.

"So this is where you were" Miya said.

Minato stopped what he was doing and turned to see Miya standing behind him.

"What are you doing down here so early? I didn't think you would be awake already" Minato said.

"I could say the same to you" Miya responded.

"I'm doing my usually morning training" Minato answered.

"Usually? But you didn't do this yesterday" Miya questioned.

"I kind of forgot" Minato said sheepishly as he gave a light laugh.

"Would you like a sparring partner?" Miya offered.

"Perhaps another time, I have to get ready for work soon" Minato replied.

"Then perhaps I can come along with you?" Miya asked.

Minato thought for a moment, coming up with no reason why Miya couldn't, answered "Sure, I don't see why not".

"Then I'll get breakfast ready, while you get cleaned" Miya said as she turned around and began to head back into the house.

Later

After finishing breakfast and getting dressed, Minato along with Miya left the house in Minato's BMW. Minato was dressed in a black suit and tie, with a white dress shirt. Miya was in a purple camisole and a white skirt. As Minato drove, Miya decided to start up a conversation with Minato.

"Exactly what do you do at work?" Miya asked curious about her Ashikabi's occupation.

"Well, as I said before I'm a doctor. Though I don't really do much as I'm stuck doing paperwork most of the time" Minato answered.

"Paperwork?" Miya questioned.

"Yeah, medical forums, medication requests, supply requisitions, etc." Minato said.

"Anyway it comes with the job of running your own business whether medical or something else. Being the one in charge would entitle the boss to a ton of paperwork. Though don't just think that my job is solely working in an office signing papers. I personally perform checkups on my patients and among other things when I have the time" Minato said.

"I mean what kind of doctor would I be if I didn't check on my own patients?" Minato asked with a chuckle.

Soon Minato slowed the car down and made a turn into a parking lot. Heading towards a reserved spot in the parking lot, Minato pulled the vehicle to a stop, before putting it into park. After exiting the vehicle and Minato grabbing his briefcase, the Ashikabi and Sekirei proceeded to walk out of the parking lot.

Miya was soon greeted to a very surprising sight. Instead of an average sized practice she was expecting, before her was a large building that looked similar to a hospital.

"This is where you work?" Miya asked, surprised.

Minato chuckled "I guess I should of given you a heads up first" Minato said.

"This does not look like a regular practice. It looks more like a hospital building" Miya commented.

Rubbing the back of his head Minato replied "Well, truth be told at first I didn't imagine my practice would end up like this".

"What do you mean?" Miya asked.

"Remember when I said that my old superior was rich?" Minato asked.

Miya nodded.

"Well, when I first opened my practice he was an investor." Minato said.

"That doesn't explain things though" Miya said.

"Well to elaborate at first it was just a small practice, but when it began to grow as more patients came, more investors came as well. Now to make this short, we've had to expand to accommodate and also to upgrade and update." Minato said.

"So they went overboard with the upgrade?" Miya asked with an arched eyebrow.

"Well, that's not entirely true, but I'll explain later on after work, I rather not be late" Minato said as he checked the time on his watch.

"Gomen'nasai, Minato. Sorry I didn't mean to be a bother" Miya apologized.

"No, no, you're not. It's just that most of my schedule today consists of paperwork and meetings so I would rather use the time I have before that to check up on some patients I've acquainted with than to do something other than paperwork" Minato said, trying to assuring Miya she was no bother.

"Alright then, if you say so" Miya said.

The two then proceeded to enter the building where the sight was of a busy lobby. Nurses, patients, and others can be seen moving around.

"Is is always this busy?" Miya asked.

"At times, considering that we're known as one of the best medical practices around the area" Minato replied.

"There you are Dr. Sahashi" a voice called out.

Minato and Miya turned their head towards the location of voice. They both saw a woman dressed in a standard nurse's uniform carrying several folders approaching them.

"Ah, Kana-san how was weekend?" Minato asked.

"Great! Did you enjoy yours?" the nurse asked, giving Minato a smile, that Miya for some reason did not like, especially since Minato smiled back.

"Mine was fine" Minato replied.

"Minato, who is this?" Miya asked.

"Um, Dr. Sahashi who's this?" Kana asked, just noticing Miya's presence

"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce the two of you. Miya this is Kana; she works for me as a nurse and at times my assistant in the morning. Kana-san this is Miya…" Minato began, but was cut off.

"His girlfriend" Miya interrupted.

"Girlfriend? Oh my! Dr. Sahashi! When did you get a girlfriend?" Kana asked excitedly, a bit too excitedly as she had gained the attention of a few nurses who were nearby.

"Uh… Not that long ago" Minato answered; a bit unease.

"How long ago" Kana asked, the nearby nurses now interested, as they whispered and giggled while looking at Minato.

"Just recently" Minato answered, glancing at the nearby giggling nurses, before turning back to Kana. "Anyway, do you anything for me today?"

"Oh, I almost forgot" Kana said as she fished out a piece of paper out of one of the folders she was carrying. Handing it to Minato, said "This is your schedule for the day, as you requested most of the morning has been freed for you to check on any of the patients".

"Arigatō Kana-san" Minato thanked.

Kana smiled "No problem Doctor. Oh, and if you're planning to go check up on patients again, Miss Hidaka would really be glad for a visit from her favorite doctor" Kana said, before walking away to resume her work.

"Hmm… It has been a while since I've seen Chiho-chan"

Sorry for the long wait. My schedule has been a bit hectic, not to mention I was having a bit of writer's block.

Also I'm not too sure or satisfied about how I wrote this chapter. Reviews, advice, etc. is welcome, if helpful.

Also a cookie, well a digital cookie for everyone who guessed that the "weapon" Takami had used on Minaka was the attendance book that Chifuyu uses on people in Infinite Stratos.

Also for anyone who is wondering why Minato's practice is larger than an average practice, it's because I needed a way to put Chiho in, and I don't think that a regular medical practice could accommodate for the necessary needs and requirements for someone of Chiho's condition. Plus the fact that I didn't want her to be stuck in a hospital owned by Higa.
