When I got to the roof, I saw that Oriha-san was sitting on the ground, patiently waiting for me. Hehe, she really is a nice girl after all. A friend. I never thought I would call someone that. That just proves how pathetic I am really. Never having a friend. It's partly my own fault.
I, am bad at interacting with people, so they think I'm being ignorant or nasty or whatever they think. They just think things like that because I don't really talk to people. And what Takami-sensei was saying about my test scores and such, well they don't exactly help me with making friends.
People think I'm a stuck up genius that doesn't talk to people because I'm above them. When it's the opposite. I'm just shy and I can't talk to people normally. The best I can do is what I do with Oriha-san.
But I can talk with my Sekirei. They are easy to talk too. I even know what they are feeling when they talk to me. I feel their happiness, I feel their sadness. I feel everything about them and it makes me happy to feel such things.
"Hey, Oriha-san!"
"Totsuka-kun, I… did you talk with… Takami-sensei?"
I raised an eyebrow at the nervous look on her face. I nodded with a long sigh. She seemed, strange to me. Oh well~ I guess she will tell me if she wants me to know. I can't force people to tell me things.
"I did. She was… well, a little strange but nice I would say. But, Oriha-san… erm, do Sensei's usually… erm… n-no, it doesn't matter."
I couldn't ask her about it. Do sensei's touch your hands and stroke your hair? That's what I want to ask, but I can't because it sounds weird. Oriha-san tilted her head to the side.
"Is everything okay Totsuka-kun?"
"Y-Yes, everything's okay!"
"You sure Totsuka-kun? What did Takami-sensei say to you exactly?"
"Well..." I began to blush, but I fought it down with the best of my ability. "We just talked about my grades and such. She..." How do I put this? "... She said that I was intelligent and didn't understand why I was in a school like this when I..." I shifted in my place uncomfortably. "... I could be in a college by now. But I don't think that I could do something like that."
"Why?" She cocked an eyebrow up, then lowered it down. "Is it because you think that… you think people don't like you?"
I pointed around me, which made her gain an even more confused face.
"Do you see anyone else around me? And you hear what everyone calls me in the halls? I'm not popular and pretty much everyone calls me names so… yeah. But Oriha-san..." I faced her with a confused face. "...Can I ask you a question?"
"Of course! Please ask away!"
"Okay. Then I'll ask straight out. While I'm grateful that you became my friend, I was just wondering why? Why did you choose to become a friend to someone like me?"
"Because you're wonderful!" D-Did she just say that I'm wonderful? S-She thinks I am wonderful? I, don't understand. Oriha-san then opened her eyes wide. "I-I mean that! Erm… Totsuka-kun is a lovely boy. He is really kind and looked lonely so I talked to him. And he really is someone I could..."
She trailed off, and blushed brightly. Eh? Why is she blushing at me all of a sudden? Did I say something strange? Did she say something strange?
"Oriha-san..."
"Totsuka-kun, don't worry about everyone else. The other students here might not like you, but I like you very much!"
I smiled in appreciation. At least, I have one friend. A friend that likes me for me. Onee-chan will be happy that I have a friend that isn't a Sekirei… wait, I can't tell her that. Onee-chan can't know about Sekirei.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Eh? Did someone just scream?
"Oriha-san, did you hear a scream?"
"Y-Yes, but I don't know where from~"
Even now she has a singsong voice? But she heard the scream as well? I wonder where it came from? When I looked around, I didn't see anyone so I went over to the railings… I didn't see anyone that looked panicked.
"PLEASE GET OUT OF THE WAY! I CANT STOP MYSELF!"
Okay… that came from the sky! I darted my eyes upwards and… oh crap! Something… no make that someone is coming in at top speeds!
"Iyaaa!"
I tried to run away but...
CRASH!
"Totsuka-kun!"
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! Someone crashed into me! The persons head crashed into my stomach and made me fall flat on my back! Owww, that really hurt. Who falls from the sky like that? My stomach hurts now.
When I regained my bearings… aaah! A-A-A-A-A GIRLS V-V-VAG… AAAAH! IN MY FACE! HER PANTIES COVERED… IYAAAAAA!
"Owww… I knew that building would be too high to jump off of." The girl got off my body and turned to face me. "You caught me, didn't you?"
C-Caught her!? S-She crashed into me! But I looked at her face… I was immediately speechless. She's really cute… I mean, yeah she's very cute indeed! Her cuteness could be compared to my own Sekirei girls!
She is a fair skinned girl of average height and a slender build. She has brown eyes that look innocent and matching brown hair. Her brown hair is hime-styled. She has short bangs, chin length strands that surrounds her head and framing her pretty face. A single antenna like strand that hangs just above her head and she has a thin hip length ponytail of sorts.
Moving onto her body… he-her breasts a-a-are huge! B-But… huge! I think they are even bigger than Nanami-sans breasts! No, these are even bigger than Uzume-sans breasts!
But her attire strikes out at me. She is wearing a white gi with red string decorating it, that resembles the traditional clothing of a miko with the addition of a short red, almost pink like skirt and mid calf brown boots and upper thigh high socks. She also seems to be a fighter or something as she has on red combat looking gloves. She reminds me of someone out of Street Fighter.
"W-Well, not really..."
"Watch out!"
She jumped me and before I had realized it, an explosion happened behind the girl! Oh crap, don't tell me that more of these Sekirei have come to attack me. I've had enough of getting attacked all of a sudden!
"There's no use running."
"We're going to track you down wherever you go so fight with us."
Those voices… I remember them. From that time. When I looked towards the source of the voices… I saw them again! The lightning twins! They are giving off dangerous sparks of electricity!
I wish my Sekirei where here right now, but they aren't. I said that they could go and do what they want today. Since, who would've thought that Sekirei would attack at a school… well, at least it isn't Toyotama for a change, which is good. But even then, there are three Sekirei here, and two humans in the form of me, and Oriha-san.
Oh wait, Nanami-san has a phone! Right. I got out my phone and quickly sent a message to her. I'm faster at typing than ringing. Once the message was sent, I waited for a reply, which literally took seconds. It said "On way!" I can only imagine Nanami-san having a cute voice saying that.
But… I had to give Nanami-san the phone. Just incase something like this was to happen. Kuno-san might break it or lose it and Akitsu-san might freeze it if she had it. So the only logical choice was Nanami-san. Either way, they're on their way here which makes me feel relief.
I put my phone away and pointed at them as I tried to get released from the girls grip! Geez, she has a tight grip of my body! She's fucking strong as hell! Which kind of leads me to the conclusion that this girl is a Sekirei if she is getting chased by these two Sekirei.
"Y-You girls are the ones that saved me!"
They narrowed their eyes in my direction, before the smaller breasted twin, Hibiki-san I think her name was clapped her hands together.
"Oh, you are the Ashikabi who was being chased by No. 16! How's that going?"
I tilted my hand in a so-so manner.
"Eh… it's still a work in progress." I then narrowed my eyes and pointed at them. "Hey! Are you the ones who chased after Katsuragi-san!?"
They both tilted their heads at me in a confused manner. But the other twin, I think it's the older one, Hikari-san answered me.
"Who's Katsuragi?"
I face palmed and sighed.
"No. 86!"
They both nod their heads, understanding me. B-But, they can't just be normal about that, can they!?
"Yeah, we chased her."
Hikari-san admits that normally! Of course she did! These two are strange! They helped me yet they chase the Sekirei, other Sekirei!
"That's wrong!"
"That's life kid."
Hikari-san denied my words instantly. But it is wrong to chase people. No matter what they did.
"I-It's still wrong..."
"It isn't. So, now move out of the way or I will shock you."
Oh great, now I'm going to get shocked by electro-girl. I cried to myself but the other girl, Hibiki-san, put out her hand.
"Hikari! Don't threaten him like that! He's only a kid, leave him alone. We can get No. 88 without harming the kid."
I really wish she'd stop saying kid. But I got in front of this No. 88 and outstretched my arms in a defensive manner.
"Just leave her alone! She… she isn't bad or anything. She even jumped and protected me from a lightning blast even have just met me. So, please leave her alone!"
I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I bent my neck to see… No. 88 looking at me with a wide eyed expression.
"W… Why are you protecting me?"
"Because, you seem nice, and innocent. What they are doing is wrong. You are just a… Sekirei that has been thrust into a game like this… we need to go! Oriha-san..."
"Way ahead of you!"
Oriha-san rushed me, grabbed my hand so I grabbed No. 88's hand and rushed towards the stairs of the school. But I then saw a flash heading towards the stairs! Oriha-san pulled me back, which made No. 88 be pulled back as well!
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!
Shit! They destroyed our escape route easily! The twins come from the roof they are on, on a nearby building, and jumped onto the roof we are on. No. 88 pushed in front of me and got into what appears to be a fighting stance.
"E-Excuse me! What do you think you are doing?"
I chided the girl. She looked at me and tilted her head adorably.
"Fighting?"
I face faulted as did Oriha-san. Oh my God. I knew that! But! But! Ugh! And what's with that adorable expression!? How can she have a body like that yet have such an innocent look on her face? Is it a Sekirei thing? Nanami-san, Kuno-san, Akitsu-san. Please come quickly.
"He meant, you can't win against the two of them! It's suicide to go up against two people girl… No. 88 was it?"
Oriha-san asked/yelled at No. 88 whatever her name is. No. 88 responded by putting her fists together, and shaking her body around excitedly.
"I'm No. 88, Musubi! I'm a fist type!"
She seemed pumped up. But, a fist type? That means she uses her fists and I guess she is a martial artist? But if we continue up here, people will see something. No, I bet they heard that banging sound. We need to get out of here. Oriha-san is going to question this and I don't have an answer for it.
I then beckoned over Oriha-san as this Musubi-san seemed to want to fight these people. Is she emerged?
(Oriha-san, this might seem strange and I can't really explain it as I don't know what's happening really, but we need to get out of here.)
I lied somewhat. I can't say anything about Sekirei. If I could, then I would tell her, but I don't want my Sekirei to be taken away from me by telling someone about it. Its all MBI's fault.
(I agree, but how? Have a plan?)
I blushed and nodded. I've got one but I don't know if it will work.
(You think she would be able to carry us both?)
I gestured to the named Musubi-san who is starring off with the lightning twins. I guess they don't know how to attack yet, without getting us caught in it. Hibiki-san seems to not want to hurt us humans and Hikari-san is going along with it. Oriha-san tilted her head before nodding.
(She said she's a fist type and she landed here with a crash, and doesn't even seem affected so, I would say yes. So, what's this plan?)
(Just got along with me. And get ready to cover Musubi-san's eyes but also close your eyes when I say, okay?)
She nodded so I went into my bag as she went over to Musubi-san while picking up her bag. I came prepared. Ever since I kept running into Toyotama, I needed something to defend myself with, and while this isn't a weapon per-say, it will help with our escape. The one named Hikari-san made suspicious eyes.
"What have you got there?"
I smirked and did a little ruffle around.
"I, have a gun! If you don't leave immediately, then I will shoot the hell out of both of you! I will put a cap in your skulls! Don't think I won't because I'm like this, I am actually quite an awesome shooter! Even against Sekireis! Just ask No. 16!"
That's a complete lie but, whatever!
"He'll do it! He's crazy! He even shot a homeless person in the face once for sitting on HIS bench from yards away!"
I sent a small, annoyed look towards Oriha-san who stuck out her tongue cutely. Please don't question my sanity. I have been questioning it for awhile now. And I don't know if I'm sane. But I will have to do something. The twins look taken back by my and Oriha-sans words.
"Holy shit, an Ashikabi with a gun! And a kid at that! What's wrong with you!?"
"Shit's just got real Hikari! He even shoots homeless people for sitting on benches he has claimed!"
Great! Now they think I'm mental! And I shoot people for sitting on MY benches apparently!? This is going to give me a horrid reputation now! Whys everyone questioning my sanity? But as I thought that, Musubi-san turned to me with an adorable look.
"What is a gun?"
Everyone face faulted! She doesn't know what a gun is!? Life really tests me sometimes.
"It's… to fight off bad people with or bad people to use when they are doing bad deeds. Don't worry, I'm good!"
"Okay… what is your name?"
Right, I haven't told her my name yet.
"My name is Hidaka Totsuka, pleased to meet you, Musubi-san."
Suddenly, Musubi-san grabbed her chest strangely. Her face turned a little red, but before I could comment, I saw purple lightning coming at me, so I jumped left and narrowly missed it!
"That's it! You've forced my hand! Take this!" I pulled out the item and threw it! "ORIHA-SAN! NOW!"
"OKAY!"
She covered Musubi-san's eyes and shut her own eyes as I see Hikari-san fire some lightning at the item so I quickly covered my own eyes.
BANG! FLASH!
I heard the bang! Yes! This is our chance!
""ARRRRRRRRRRRRK!""
Their eyes must've been blinded! I got out sunglasses and placed them over my eyes so the light doesn't affect my sight. Once I did that, I ran to Musubi-san and placed glasses over both of their eyes!
"Musubi-san! Please carry myself and Oriha-san out of here! You can jump around between rooftops, right!?"
"Y-Yes!"
Musubi-san wrapped her arms around both of us.
"Where should I go?"
I sweatdropped. It doesn't really matter, does it?
""Left!""
Me and Oriha-san seemed to be in synch then!
"Which way is left?"
Oriha-san and I looked at one another before pointing right. Even though we said left, they heard it. I only realized it after I said it. And it seems that Oriha-san also realized it. Musubi-san nodded and with a swooshing sound, we started to jump away!
We jumped rooftop to rooftop! They won't know where we went now! Oh right, my Sekirei won't know. I will message them and tell them that I'm fine, but to meet us at the Inn. Yeah, I will take Musubi-san and Oriha-san back to the Inn, then we can go from there.
So I messaged them as Oriha-san asked me a question.
"Totsuka-kun, where did you get that flash-bang exactly?"
"I… I made it."
I admitted with a blush.
"Wow! Totsuka-sama made such a thing!? You must be really smart!"
Musubi-san complimented me. I scratched my cheek with a blush adorning my cheeks.
"N-No, it wasn't anything really."
"Wasn't anything my eye! Totsuka-kun! That was amazing! We got away because of you and Musubi-san here! Some quick thinking there my friend!" I smiled happily. My friend. I didn't think I would hear anyone call me friend. But Oriha-san then adopted a questioning look. "But, like where did you get the know how to do something like that?"
"I'm cute~ That's how~"
"THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER!"
I cried to myself! Oriha-san is yelling at me!
Slip!
Eh… I'm falling in the sky! Musubi-san! I must've...! Aaah! I DON'T WANT TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
𖦹𖦹𖦹
(Oriha P.O.V)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
"Totsuka-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I'M SORRY!"
Of course he has fallen out of her grasp. I quickly got out my flying discs from my back, and aimed them at Totsuka-kun's feet. If he can balance himself on them, then I can make him fly, sort of. I've never tried it but here goes nothing!
Throw!
I threw them towards Totsuka-kun and started controlling their trajectory. That's my power as a Sekirei after all. I controlled them so his feet was touching them. Once I confirmed that his feet are safely on them, I started moving him upwards!
Yay! I did it~ I didn't think I could do it! Its kind of hard, but I did it~ I make them fly upwards towards us. Its kind of hard, but not impossible. I guess him being small is an advantage~ If he was a heavy person then this wouldn't be possible but it is~
"Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~!"
Hehehe, he's so cute~ I made them come up and meet us eye level. A little away's from us, he waved at us happily while winking cutely. It's moments like this, moments like this that make me happy. Even if he isn't my Ashikabi yet, he will be soon.
"Wow! Totsuka-sama is a Sekirei as well as an Ashikabi!"
"No, he isn't a Sekirei Musubi-san." I spoke as we bounced off a rooftop and took to the air again. "Totsuka-kun isn't a Sekirei at all."
"Then, what is he?"
She doesn't even know it's me doing that. Silly. But she asked me what he is? He, is...
"He's… someone I love very much."
