Chapter 37 - The Fight For the Ashikabi 1

(Homura P.O.V)

When I found out the location of Namikaze-san, Uzume and I moved out together. Even though I am not his Sekirei, I am going to go and save Namikaze-san with Uzume. I heard from Takami-san that Namikaze-san's other Sekireis have gone to help him as well, but we have a head start, and our faces are covered so no one will know who we are.

"Homura-chan! We need to speed it up!"

"Right!"

We jumped from rooftop to rooftop. I hope he's safe. He should be safe, right? Namikaze-san is resourceful, he might even befriend the Disciplinary Squad, besides Karasuba. For some reason, she hates him. That's what Takami-san said. But what's the reasons?

Is it because he has winged Akitsu? No, it couldn't be that. She isn't connected with that. So, why does she hate him? Is it… maybe he is becoming a stronger Ashikabi? He has four Sekirei, even if I'm not willing to admit it, I am reacting to him as well. Uzume is concerned and even Miya, is concerned.

"Homura-chan, why did this Benitsubasa-chan kidnap him in the first place?"

"If I knew that, then I would be closer to understanding all of this. If she wanted him dead, why didn't she just kill him in the bathroom? Even if she wants him dead, we know he's still alive as his Sekireis are fine. It's strange. Maybe… she couldn't be reacting to him, right?"

"Muuuuuu! No! She can't! She's got small breasts, and he likes big ones! If she reacts to him, then he'll cry out for me 'Uzume-saaaaaaaaaaan! Some small breasted girl has reacted to me when I really want yooooooou!' Don't you think Homura-chan?"

I sweatdropped. Of course that isn't it at all. Namikaze-san doesn't care about the size of a girl's breasts… aah. I shouldn't think about something like that! It doesn't matter anyway! All that matters is if he is going to survive or not!

"No, Uzume. I don't care about something like that."

"Why!? I care about it! Haruto-chan will cry! Do you want him to cry!?"

"Erm… not really. But, aren't you going a little overboard? I know that you like him, but you seem to be a little more agitated than usual."

"I'm concerned that's all! Plus, I've heard that Benitsubasa-chan is kind of a nutter with anger problems. What if she, because of being small chested, flips out and tries to kill him if he comments on it!? And what if the other members show up and he comments about them not being as big as my own chest!?"

She's really obsessed with it huh. I'd be more concerned about being alone with these people, not because of their breast sizes. I sighed to myself and looked towards our target again. I can see it now. Just hang on Namikaze-san, we'll be there within a few minutes.

We picked up our pace and within a few minutes we reached our destination. This is it. According to Takami-san, he should be in here. Uzume and I shared a look before going straight into the building.

"Ah, so more company has arrived."

As soon as I walked in, I noticed someone. A woman with gray hair that's fashioned into a ponytail. The woman is holding a dangerous looking blade. It has something dripping from it. Its a red colour... it's blood. She has used that weapon recently.

I scanned the room, and my eyes fell on someone. A girl with pink hair and a girl stationed nearby. But the girl with pink hair is holding something. Upon further inspection, I saw something horrific.

In her arms, is a boy with blood coming out of his stomach. A boy I recognize all too well. A silver haired boy. It's Namikaze-san! Namikaze-san has been injured! D-Did they all do it!?

"Heeeeeeeeeeeey! Haruto-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! Let go of him!"

Uzume went forward and so did I! If he's dead then I will kill them as well!

"Hold your fucking horses! I didn't do this!"

"Yeah right flat chest! You've killed Haruto-chan because you're evil! Let go of him!"

Uzume fashioned her veil into a drill like form. I gathered fire in the palms of my hands and pointed at the pink haired Sekirei. I gathered a powerful flame, ready to release the flames.

"Benitsubasa, let go of Namikaze-san right now."

I threatened with a low voice. A voice laced with killing intent. However, Benitsubasa just sighs as if she isn't interested.

"Look, dumbass and big tits. Namikaze here, got stabbed, but it wasn't by me, it was by Karasuba. For some reason, she hates him and wants him dead."

"I'm not going to deny her words either. Its true, I did stab him through the stomach. He was a little easy prey you know? If I knew it would be this easy, then I would've done it ages ago."

She admits something like that so easily! S-She really doesn't have a regard for his life at all! But if Benitsubasa hadn't done anything, then why did she kidnap him in the first place.

"So, it was you who stabbed Haruto-chan was it?"

Uzume glared with intensity. Karasuba giggled to herself as if she finds this funny. That only made Uzume more angry. She has made her drill like veil as tight and sharp as she could.

"Then you'll die!"

Uzume went forward but I stopped her. She looked at me with shock and confusion.

"Homura-chan! Why are you stopping me!? I am going to kill her myself!"

"Uzume, you can't fight against her alone. She's a single number, and most likely one of the strongest Sekirei. She's too strong for one Sekirei. Besides, Namikaze-san is still alive, so why don't you run to the hospital with him."

"Homura-chan… what are you going to do?"

I smirked and gathered flames around my body.

"I'm going to distract these three for as long as I can. Even if I die, I will keep these three away from you and Namikaze-san."

"Homura-chan… that's self sacrifice. Do you really care so much about Haruto-chan?"

I gave a nod before my brain could think. I, do care about him very much. It isn't his fault that he was caught up in this. He's an innocent victim in all of this, and I'll be damned if he dies because of this.

"I do. I won't deny it. Uzume, take Namikaze-san and run to the hospital. I'll show them how No. 06 burns!"

FLAMES!

I increased the density of the flames! If they want to fight then I will burn them away with me! Uzume, even though not liking the situation, went towards Benitsubasa and held out her hands.

"Give me Haruto-chan, now."

"Make sure he doesn't die, or I will come after you myself."

Benitsubasa warned. Uzume glared and took Namikaze-san in her arms.

"... Uzume-san..."

"Y-Yes, its me Haruto-chan. Don't worry, I'll get you out of here."

"Uzume-san… Benitsubasa-san… Haihane-san… tried to protect me… they are good girls. P-Please… don't hate them… please..."

So, they did try and protect him after all. Uzume nodded at Namikaze-san who smiled and closed his eyes! H-He can't die yet. Uzume turned around and went towards the door.

"Don't die Homura-chan!"

"You got it."
