I'm waiting for the girl to wake up. Last night, she crashed through the wall of the bathroom of Izumo Inn. I want to know who she is, and what happened to her. I know she is a Sekirei, as I saw the symbol on her back. I talked with Nanami-san and she said that she was surprised that this girl didn't cease to function or whatever it is called. Maybe she didn't receive enough damage to be… erm, terminated? Is that the right word? I've never seen what happens to Sekirei when they lose a fight. I can only imagine that they die or something horrible.
So I sit by her bed patiently in a small room with a bucket of water nearby with a cloth on her head, as she is quite hot. I am waiting for her to wake up so I can ask her some questions like, what happened to her? Was she being chased?
I've seen her before, on the roof when I first came to Izumo Inn. But I still wish to know what happened to her. I'm a little shocked that she didn't...c ease function or whatever it is called.
"Totsuka-sama..."
I heard Nanami-san speak from behind me so I looked. She was standing there with food. Heee, is it really that late already? I knew it was evening but I didn't think it was dinner time. I was a little shocked that she came up here but I beckoned her over anyway.
"Thank you Nanami-san."
I took the tray from her and smiled up at her, which made her face turn a little red.
"A-Ah, it isn't a problem Totsuka-sama. I'm just happy to help out. Speaking of helping out, has our guest here helped out by waking up yet?"
I shook my head at her with a disappointed sigh. She hasn't woken up yet. But she has wriggled around a little from time to time. Even then, I don't know when she is going to wake up. I hope that it's soon. She's been out for awhile now.
"No she hasn't woken up yet, but I'm sure that she will wake up soon enough."
"I hope you're right Totsuka-sama. Because she has to apologize for breaking the wall!"
I sweatdropped at her cheery attitude. She thinks such things like that? It doesn't really matter about the wall, it matters about the girl. The wall is being taken care of by Uzume-san and I. W-We have to mend the wall because we shared a bath even though it wasn't really my idea.
Uzume-san was the one who came into my bath and placed my head on her breasts and made me keep my head there when I woke up. So technically, it is all her fault. It isn't my fault at all, but I will also take responsibility even though I haven't actually done anything.
"Hehe, always the strange one Nanami-san. Say Nanami-san, can I ask you something?"
"Hmmm? What is it, Totsuka-sama?"
Hmmmm, how should I put this...
"Nanami-san, remember before you got winged by me, and you were chased by Toyotama?"
She stiffened and nodded, slowly.
"I-I remember Totsuka-sama. Why do you ask?"
"Well, I was wondering if other Sekirei out there chase other Sekirei? Or is it just Toyotama?"
She sits down next to me and wraps her arms around my neck, pushing her large assets into my arm, and then she nuzzles my neck lovingly! S-She's always affectionate after all.
"I'm not that sure about that. But I've heard rumours of some Sekirei targeting other Sekirei so they can take them out before they get winged, so there's less competition. You know, for the Sekirei Plan."
The Sekirei Plan huh. Yes, I really should learn more about that. I mean, I've got three Sekirei and if I remember currently, not many others have more than one Sekirei.
"I… don't know, that's the problem. It's… strange. I mean, anyone I know could be a Sekirei and I don't even know about it. Can you tell the difference between humans and Sekirei?"
"Well, Sekirei have superhuman abilities and humans don't!"
I face faulted while sighing. She couldn't have thought that I didn't know the difference between the superhuman Sekirei and the normal humans, right? Nanami-san surely is a strange girl.
"Seriously Nanami-san? I know what Sekireis have above humans, but I meant… ugh! Nanami-san, I don't mean to be rude but that answer was… kind of… hehe, it was kind of strange to say the least."
She scratches the back of her head a little while having a face that has dropped from a normal happy one to a sad one. I-I didn't mean to make her upset! I-I am a terrible Ashikabi!
"I...I'm sorry Totsuka-sama. I kind of had an airhead moment then, huh."
Her face fell even more. But I wrapped my arms around her neck and patted the back of her head. It's how I comfort people, no. It's how I comfort my Sekirei. I mean, they all have down days so I comfort them like this.
"No, it's alright Nanami-san. I didn't mean to make you feel sad about things and my question could've been worded better. But, if I may ask again about… Sekirei. Can you tell a Sekirei from just looking once?"
She puts a finger to her chin and gets into a thinking pose.
"Well, sometimes I can. Sometimes it's harder. Like, when I met Toyotama for the first time, I didn't get right away that she was a Sekirei. It took me a minute or so before I got it. Then she told me that her Master wanted the most numbers so she wanted me to go with her so her Master could wing me. But, I met Totsuka-sama who saved me from such a fate. And he has done the same for Kuno-chan and Akitsu-chan. We are so lucky to have Totsuka-sama as a Ashikabi-sama and a husband!"
"Hehe, I'm lucky to have you three as my Sekirei. All of you are great girls. I know it might sound a little cliche so you'll have to forgive me if it comes out like that but I can't imagine a life without you, Kuno-san or Akitsu-san."
Nanami-san's eyes become a little soggy. Eh… have I messed up again? I seem to be doing things like that. Nanami-san then got close to me, and pressed her lips to my own! E-Each time I get kissed, my mind goes blank.
My lips and Nanami-sans lips move in rhythm with one another's, in a kiss that conveys our feelings for one another. I love Nanami-san. That's the feeling I have for her.
Shine!
Our kiss had made Nanami-san's bright wings come out, and flapped around so delicately and beautifully. The blue coloured wings have me mesmerized. I can't take my eyes away from them, they are that magnificent.
Nanami-san broke our kiss, and smiled at me with the beauty that made me fall in love with it.
"Don't worry Totsuka-sama, I won't let anyone hurt you. I'll even protect the other Sekirei so you don't have to experience loneliness."
Experience loneliness huh. I...have already experienced loneliness. Ever since my parents died and Onee-chan became sick, I have been lonely with worry and such.
"T-Thank you Nanami-san. It really means..."
