Chapter 38 - The Fight For the Ashikabi 2

However, as soon as I replied, I heard the door open behind me. Uzume wouldn't be there yet. So I turned… you have got to be kidding me. Standing there, is Toyotama. But she isn't alone. Ichiya is also there. Damn it! Not now! There's too many enemies to face!

"Ooh for fuck sake. She shows up now!? How did she even know!?"

Benitsubasa roared as she stood. The other one, the gothic girl named Haihane I believe sighed in a frustrated manner.

"This certainly isn't favourable. This is all your fault small boobs."

"Will you fuck off Haihane!? Even if it isn't favourable, it doesn't mean we wont win! Not after I've just found my Ashikabi, I'm not going to lose to these bitches. Toyotama, Ichiya and Karasuba-sama. All three of them wont stop me!"

My, confident isn't she? But this isn't favourable. I couldn't fight off No. 04 alone. Never mind fighting off No. 16 and No. 18. They both are strong. Its three against three. Uzume doesn't count as she needs to get Namikaze-san out of here.

"My oh my. No. 105, No. 104 and… is that No. 06 as well? Although I don't know you veiled girl. Another Sekirei. It seems we've come across something strange, haven't we Ichiya?"

"Right, Toyotama. They're here and, look. Its No. 78's Ashikabi. But, it seems someone has poked him in the pudding."

"Don't you talk about my future Ashikabi bitch!"

Benitsubasa of course roared. However, the two girls sneered at her.

"Damn your breasts are small."

"I totally agree with Ichiya. They are the smallest on the planet."

"No, make that the universe actually."

Karasuba chimed in. Benitsubasa hearing all of that, couldn't control her anger and stomped her feet angrily onto the ground.

"FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! YOU WHORES! YOU'RE DEAD! ALL OF YOU WILL DIE!"

"Ara, Benitsubasa. Even if you are a skilled Sekirei, you can't take on three of us with you alone. Even with No. 06 and No. 104 here, you don't have a chance in hell."

She's right. But I hate admitting that. This is bad. But it isn't like there isn't hope. If we're lucky, they all will fight one another, not just us. But isn't that wishful thinking...

"Homura-chan, Haruto-chan is losing lots of blood here. We need to get him out of here now."

"R-Right. I understand. I'm going to create an opening for you."

Uzume nodded at me so I gathered flames around my hands. We only have one chance at this. Three vs three, I like the odds if we can take care of those two first. I gathered the flames and gave a secret nod to Uzume who nodded back. So now its time too...

"""AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRH!"""

T-That bunch of screams! I-It couldn't be… I had completely forgotten but now...

OPEN!

"""We're here to save the day!"""

T-They are in sync with one another. But Nanami, Kuno, Akitsu, Oriha, Musubi and Katsuragi are here. W-With six of them, five if you don't count Kuno as she isn't really a fighter, then its just gone a little more even.

"T-Haruto-sama!?"

"Namikaze-saaaaaaaaaan!"

"M...Master!"

"Haruto-kun has been stabbed?"

"Haruto-saaaaaaaaaaama!"

"Namikaze-kun is… in danger right now."

They all are worried for him. But Nanami is the one who glares at Toyotama who sneers back. I then gestured to Uzume to run away. We've got a number of them here now.

"I'm going."

She whispered. She then ran towards the door, but not before enveloping a veil around Kuno and took her with her.

"Oh no you don't!"

Toyotama moved forward, but Nanami intercepted. Nanami with her spear swung it directly at Toyotama, but Toyotama avoided the attack just in time. Nanami went over to Uzume who was about to run away and stopped her.

"I won't let you get Haruto-sama again. This is the last time that we will meet in battle Toyotama. I've had enough of you hurting my Ashikabi-sama now. It's going to stop here. This is the last time I'm going to say this to you. I am No. 78, Nanami."

"Hah! Is that really so? Then die by No. 16's hands!"

Toyotama moved forward, staff in hand, and swung it at Nanami. Nanami bent her body and dodged the attack, as she brought out her own weapon and made a jab at Toyotama.

"Crap!"

GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!

The spear and staff made silver sparks. The spear user pushed back Toyotama and ran forward. She did a 180 turn to build up force, and then swung her weapon with the intent to kill at Toyotama.

"Fuck you!"

Even then, Toyotama was able to block the assault with her own weapon. Nanami pushed forward and made Toyotama step backwards.

"Damn bitch!"

Ichiya who was standing by the side tried to move forward, but Namikaze-sans Sekirei got in the way. Akitsu raised an ice wall between her, and the fighting Sekirei.

"Ah… you shall not pass."

"Tch, damn it."

Ichiya was pissed but the others didn't move. It's four vs one. She knows that she is outnumbered so she couldn't do anything about it. But back to the fight between Toyotama and Nanami.

Nanami jumped high into the sky, and went for a jab in the air. Toyotama bent her back so she narrowly missed the attack. Toyotama swung her staff around and made a harsh movement with her blade, missing Nanami though by mere inches.

Nanami landed on the ground, and went forward at Toyotama. Toyotama clicked her tongue in annoyance and went forward as well. Weapons clashed together harshly. Both sides not giving an inch.

"You really are determined today, aren't you!?"

"More than you know! Now, get out of my way!"

Nanami bent down, and made a sweep with her leg across the floor. Her leg connected with Toyotama's legs. The force of the impact made Toyotama fall over to the ground. Nanami not missing the chance ran towards Uzume and Namikaze-san.

Toyotama got up, and ran after her, but Nanami suddenly stopped in her position, and did a 180 degree turn, and lunged her spear forward!

"This won't work!"

Nanami pushed Toyotama back ever so slightly but it was enough to knock her off balance. Nanami didn't miss the chance and shoulder barged Toyotama to the ground.

"Stay!"

Nanami resumed running towards Namikaze-san in Uzume's arms. Once getting there, she bent down for something. She's going for the kiss!

"I'm just going to borrow some power Haruto-sama. This girl needs to be terminated now."

Nanami overlapped her lips with his own. Then, bright wings came out of her back. S-She's going to Norito! A light shined around the buildings interior as the wings disappear. She then faced Toyotama with a burning expression.

"This spear represents my pledge. Pierce the darkness that stands before my Ashikabi!"

"Oh shit!"

Toyotama became frightened and stood up quickly with her weapon in hand. Her eyes are displaying a raw emotion. Fear. She is afraid right now. Because she knows that while they might be evenly matched when not being powered by Norito, but once Nanami kissed Namikaze-san, she knew that she had lost. Toyotama knew she can't win now.

"That's right. Be afraid Toyotama! My Ashikabi has been hurt because of people like you! Dark, evil people! Now, it's time to stop being evil!" She spins her spear around and points it at Toyotama as a light surrounds the spear. "Spear of Serenity!"

THROW!

She threw the spear at Toyotama! The spear is travelling at a velocity that's simply too fast for even my eyes to see.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Toyotama reacted and pulled out her staff, swinging it at the spear that's coming for her!

SHATTER!

"Aaah! My weapon!"

Toyotama's weapon got destroyed by Nanami. But the spear continued on towards its target. The spear that's shining continued towards Toyotama who is trying to desperately run away but to no avail.

PIERCE!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

The spear went right through her weapon, and in turn her. Her spear went right through Toyotama, ending her! Nanami went over towards her, grabbed her weapon and looked down with teary eyes.

"You didn't stop Toyotama. You didn't stop. If you had, I wouldn't of had to do it. But I love my Ashikabi more than I hate hurting people. If I have too, I will fight everyone in the game so he is safe."

"... Bitch..."

"I might be a bitch in your eyes, but you are the one who hurt Haruto-sama so many times. You made him afraid to go out of his own home. You even destroyed his home. You've caused nothing but pain to my Ashikabi. So, it's time to be embraced by destiny. This was the only outcome for people like you Toyotama. No love, equals no life for a Sekirei. I feel sorry for you that your Ashikabi doesn't love you."

Toyotama's eyes leaked water, as I notice Uzume leave with Namikaze-san and Kuno. Toyotama's Sekirei crest has now lit up. Its going to disappear. And Uzume is going to get Namikaze-san to the hospital, I know it.

"... I hate you… for having a better Ashikabi than me..." So that's the reason she wanted to take away Namikaze-san. She hated that he is kinder to Nanami than her Ashikabi, Higa of the East is to her. Namikaze-san loves Nanami, while Higa won't love her. "... Why did… you have the… kinder Ashikabi? I… deserved one too… I wanted love as well..."

"I'm sorry, your Ashikabi wasn't nice and didn't love you. But that wasn't a reason to hurt Haruto-sama. I am sorry Toyotama. But this is where it ends for you. Maybe the next time we see one another, we could be friends."

Nanami offered a kind smile, but Toyotama glared at her with disgust. The Sekirei crest on Toyotama's back has now disappeared. Toyotama's eyes leak tears as the light in her eyes disappear.

"TOYOTAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Ichiya cried for her now ceased functioning friend. She's breathing rapidly. She's sniffling as the large tears fall from her eyes. She banged on the ice wall that Akitsu made but it didn't budge.

"Its about time the bitch died." Benitsubasa laughed to herself. But most people turned to her with a glare. "Why is everyone glaring at me? She's the one who did it, not me." Everyone then deadpanned her, even me. "Oh fuck you all!"

"You all will die! You all will perish by my Ashikabi-sama!"

Ichiya jumped up, over the ice wall and went for Nanami. Nanami took her spear and got into a defensive position. But then, Katsuragi jumped towards her, with her foot extended.

"Don't attack Nanami-san like that!"

HIT!

She hit Ichiya across the face with her foot, sending her across the room. Ichiya skidded across the floor, eventually able to steady herself. She pushed off the floor, and swung her long legs around.

Katsuragi jumped up and down in her position, seemin gly ready to fight. Ichiya however is mixing her leg swings with heavy tears from her eyes. I guess that Toyotama and Ichiya were close with one another.

"I'm No. 86, Katsuragi. I'm a foot type...I guess. I'll...be your opponent."

"Tch, it isn't fair. There's too many, damn it all!"

Ichiya ran towards Katsuragi, jumped towards and did a spin kick. Katsuragi also jumped and did a spin kick. They both are kicking types it seems. The feet meet, and they push back one another.

Both Sekirei skid across the floor, but both are able to steady themselves. Ichiya stood up again, but looked at the door.

"Next time, I promise that I'll take you all out! Next time damn it! Higa-sama will hear about this!"

Ichiya ran towards the door and Katsuragi was about to follow, but Nanami put out her hand.

"Nanami-san… what's wrong?"

"There's been enough bloodshed today." She looked down at Toyotama with a sad gaze. She then looked up at Katsuragi. "There's no point for more fighting today."

Ichiya ran out of the door. She's gone now. There's no way that she would be able to do anything else here today. But then I remembered something. Karasuba is still here. She's been quiet this whole time, but she's still here.
