(Haruto P.O.V)
I can't believe it. Karasuba stabbed me. Why? What have I ever done to get it? Did she really hate me that much that she couldn't stand me being alive anymore? I don't know what to think about it.
I don't know what I've done to her because I don't know her. I haven't ever met her before. I don't know what she's like, and I don't know what she wants me to do. Why stab me? I'm… I'm just me. I haven't done anything wrong to her that I know of. If I have offended her somehow then I would like to apologize, but I don't know what I have to apologize for.
Right now, only Benitsubasa-san and I are in my hospital room. Most of the others had to depart since it's the end of visiting hours, but Benitsubasa-san refused to leave, and the hospital staff was apparently okay with that. But this girl kidnapped me not three days ago, and now she is giving me a look of sorrow.
"Benitsubasa-san." I got her attention. She lifted her head and looked directly in the eyes as opposed to just in my direction. "Benitsubasa-san, I just want to say I'm sorry."
"Eh? Why are you apologizing all of a sudden? You haven't done anything wrong. Don't be stupid Namikaze."
"Eheee, but I have to apologize for you being kicked off your… squad. If it wasn't for me, then you wouldn't have been kicked off your squad. I'll have to apologize to Haihane-san as well. But to you, I need to apologize."
Benitsubasa-san hung down her head.
"No, don't apologize for that. It's my own fault for defending you after all. Haha, if you look at it from an outsider's point of view. All this was caused by me."
"Benitsubasa-san..."
"It was Namikaze." She silenced me. She then moved and sat right beside me on my bed. "You know, I kind of lied about the reason I kidnapped you. Well, partly lied anyway."
"O-Oh? What did you lie about?"
Not that it matters. She protected me when she didn't have to. She saved me. Even if I got stabbed, if she hadn't been there then I would be dead for certain. She was the one who convinced Haihane-san to help, and I heard that she teamed up with my Sekirei, Oriha-san and the mysterious No. 06 to take on Karasuba.
I know about Oriha-san now. It was pretty much confirmed by Nanami-san. She let it slip, but told me the details of the fight as did the others. I am sad because I couldn't even do anything right. I got kidnapped which made Karasuba come and attempt to take my life.
"I lied about my reasoning for taking you. Yes, I wanted to fight No. 16 as she had been giving us lip for quite some time, but the other reason was..."
No. 16 has gone now. I have mixed feelings about that. She did harass me quite a lot, but Nanami-san told me that it was because I was a loving Ashikabi and her Ashikabi… Higa-san wasn't even caring. Nanami-san felt bad about it but I told her that it wasn't her fault that she had to do what she did. I am glad that she did protect me though. I was really scared.
Benitsubasa-san's face turned bright red, and she hugged me!
"B-Benitsubasa-san..."
"Namikaze, I love you!"
I-I became shocked and stared blankly at her. I-I can't respond to something like that!
"W-What..."
"I do. I love you Namikaze. Say, is it fine if I call you Haruto instead?" I smiled and inclined my head. She smiled beautifully and continued. "Haruto, I have been reacting to you, for a while now. Ever since… ever since you winged that Kuno. I came across you that day while just out with Haihane. I just saw something in you that… sparked something in myself. So I decided to investigate you abit."
From all the way back then? She saw me wing Kuno-san? I can't say that I am shocked. People seem to follow me a lot. Toyotama… Benitsubasa-san… God knows who else follows me. Most likely Karasuba and… uwah.
"A-And...?"
"What I found out was, your family died years ago bar your sister who is critically ill. Yet, somehow… somehow you are able to smile. You offered me kindness back at that factory, when I was the one who kidnapped you. Anyone else, and I would say that they have a mental problem. But since it's you, then I know that it's because of your kind heart."
"Benitsubasa-san… that's sweet. Thank you for saying such things about me."
She shook her head and took my hand.
"I should thank you."
"Why? What have I done?"
"You… have done what I wanted you to do. I wanted you, to be you." I gave a perplexed face so elaborated. "I wanted my Ashikabi to be as kind as you are. An Ashikabi who would do anything for his Sekirei. That's what I wanted. It's already been proven that you would do anything for your Sekirei, from all the times I've seen you. Maybe after everything that's happened, you might not want a Sekirei like me since I… Well, according to most people, I have a complex about my breasts, which I don't damn it!" I sweatdropped at that. No, she doesn't at all. "And, I might have some anger problems, but that's because everyone always starts it on me first!" Benitsubasa-san then got close to my face. "Haruto, I want you to be my Ashikabi. My most important person. So… will you become my Ashikabi?"
She wants me to become her Ashikabi!? S-She is… Benitsubasa-san is… I already feel something strange between us actually. We… I don't know, click? She might be impulsive, prone to anger and such, but that's a contrast to the timid, shy me. As they say, opposites attract right?
"Benitsubasa-san, I would be honoured if you became my Sekirei."
"Hmph, damn straight. I am, like, one of the best fighters in this damn game. You'll need someone like me on your team. But first..." She develops a small blush. "... What are your views on breasts that aren't… gigantic like the other Sekirei you have."
"B-Breasts...?"
She adopts an angry face! I… erm...
"Yes, breasts. I want to know your views on breasts, now!"
She snapped at me so I jumped back a little, which caused a little pain. But why does it matter?
"I… don't really mind the size of a girl's chest, Benitsubasa-san."
"Are you lying to me?"
She raised an eyebrow in judgment but I dispelled her fears.
"No, I wasn't lying to you at all! I-I just was saying that I don't care about the size of a girl's chest. As long as the girl is nice, then I don't mind. Benitsubasa-san… forgive me for saying this, and you can slap me if you want, but I like your boobs… j-just the way they a-are."
I choked at the end because I was so nervous. Saying something like that makes me sound like a pervert. I was expecting a slap, punch or some other kind of hit but Benitsubasa-san adopted a happy face.
"Then… that's fine. I just wanted to be clear on what your views towards breasts are. I know that I don't have the biggest chest but that..."
"Shouldn't stop love, right Benitsubasa-san?"
"Exactly. Now come here you sexy bastard."
S-Sexy? Me? I… I am sexy? Although I could've done without the bastard. Benitsubasa-san cupped my face, and inched closer to me. I responded by taking her shoulders softly and pulling her closer.
"... I love you Haruto..."
Her lips overlapped with my own! Benitsubasa-san's lips have made contact with my own lips! As soon as her lips went over my own, I saw a bright light coming from her back. The light is that of the Sekirei crest responding to the kiss.
Wings of pure pink come out of her crest, spreading around the room, and flapping gloriously. They are beautiful, just like Benitsubasa-san. I can't help but think that this girl who kidnapped me in a bathroom has now become my Sekirei after I got stabbed.
The wings disappeared within a few seconds, but our kiss didn't stop. Benitsubasa-san pushed me down lightly, our lips not leaving the others. She climbed on top of me, straddling my hips as she deepened the kiss.
Benitsubasa-san forced her tongue into my mouth, and explored my mouth with that tongue. I became a little adventurous as well so I hesitantly moved my tongue towards hers, touching it only slightly.
Benitsubasa-san smirked into the kiss and found my tongue with her own, and did a little dance with it. Our tongues moved in rhythm with one another, as I felt a hand on top of my own.
I looked downwards, and saw Benitsubasa-san move my hand from the bed, to her kimono-shirt covered left breast. S-She placed my hand on her left breast! She then moved that hand around in a circular motion!
"Mmmmmmmm." I moaned into the kiss as she ran her remaining hand through my hair softly. I moved my remaining hand and stroked her face softly. She mewled a little and took that hand with her free hand, and pinned it to the bed in a soft manner.
We kissed for two minutes before she pulled away from me, biting my lip ever so softly and giving it a small pull. Her teeth went off my bottom lip, and she moved away from my head but she remained straddling my hips as I hand remained on her breast.
"I'm No. 105, Benitsubasa. I promise you that we will win the game together, my sexy Ashikabi-sama. And..." She moved her hand to my wound. "I promise that this won't ever happen again. I wont let anyone hurt you again."
"Benitsubasa-san..."
"Say, can you call me, Benihime when we are alone?"
She wants me to call her that? I see, the Crimson Princess. That's what it means. It fits her really.
"Sure, I don't mind, Benihime."
"Thank you, Haruto. Take that No. 88 you big breasted bitch."
I sweatdropped at that. She… ehehe, she's going to be a fun person to have as my Sekirei. She certainly is a… unique soul to say the least.
