Several minutes, I watched as Kuno-san freaked out about what to get. She's certainly different to what people I've met before. Like Nanami-san. She's so energetic, but knows when to be calm. She has a caring personality and a way to make you feel better about yourself and the general world around you. Nanami-san is… she is so.. .she's my Sekirei and...
"Hello! May I take your order please!?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Kuno-san screamed at the waitress that came over, and she buried her face into my chest! D-Don't hug me so tightly! I-I can even feel your bust! I-It isn't as big as Nanami-sans's but I can still feel her bust through her blouse!
"I-Is she alright?"
That's a good question and I wish I had an answer for you but I don't. I really don't know what I am going to do with this girl here. She is a girl that is really hard to figure out.
"Erm… I think so. She's just easily frightened. A-Anyway… erm… Kuno-san."
I shook her, she jittered a little and looked up at me with sad eyes.
"I-I… didn't mean to scream like that..."
"Don't worry Kuno-san. You are easily scared huh."
She gave the smallest of nods in my direction. As I thought. Why is this girl alone? I'm not being mean but she doesn't seem to be able to take care of herself. I wonder if she has any family or anything? She doesn't seem to be the type that can handle things well.
"Kuno-san, you have to tell the waitress what you want."
"O-Okay..."
So Kuno-san and I ordered what we wanted. Although it took a few times for Kuno-san as she kept hesitating. I am a shy person and I don't like talking to people but Kuno-san seems to be someone like me, but even a little worse. I wonder, what happened for her to be like that? Or was she like that naturally?
After the orderings, the woman leaves the table area and I look to Kuno-san to see that she has buried her face into my chest again. It seems to calm her down a little. I petted her head which made her whimper a little. But there is something I am thinking about. Nanami-san.
I wonder what Nanami-san will think about me going with a strange girl to a restaurant and she won't let go of my arm and keeps burying her face into my chest? Will she be angry with me? Nah, that's not like Nanami-san. She's a very gentle girl. So kind, caring and I don't think I deserve to be her Ashikabi. She's so loving. I think she's wasting her love on someone like me.
The food came a little while later. I used the card to pay for it, then Kuno-san and I started to eat our food together. She's a nice girl but I don't know why she seems so jumpy.
Was it because she was being chased? She said that she escaped people so she was being chased and that has made her someone who is frightened of most things.
"Kuno-san, who was chasing you? If you don't mind me asking?"
"S-Some girls w-who were o-out of this world… they are scary!"
Out of this world? I would cry if she was talking about Sekirei. They are the only things that I can think of for being out of this world. No, it wouldn't be Sekirei's. This is just too coincidental. I've come across four Sekireis in a couple of days now. And this girl can't be a Sekirei. She doesn't look like one. N-Not to say she isn't as pretty as them but she doesn't look like she would be able to do the amount of tricks that they are capable off.
"Kuno-san, these girls that were chasing you. They weren't something called Sekirei's, right?"
Her eyes light up like a thousand suns and takes my hands tightly!
"Y-You know about Sekirei's!?"
I put a finger to her lips, to keep her a little quiet. She can't say things about Sekirei's that loud in here. It wouldn't be good at all!
"P-Please keep your voice down. But yes, I know about Sekirei as I have one. And I'm an Ashikabi."
Her face became beat red when I said that. I took my finger away from her lips and placed my hand on the table. She looked up at me with an adorable blush, her head being in my chest, she would have to look up at me.
"So Hidaka-san is an Ashikabi..."
"Yes, and you are a Sekirei huh."
"I-I am one!"
"Really? You don't seem like the other Sekirei I have met."
I didn't mean it as an insult but she took it that way and started to cry uncontrollable! Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaah! What am I suppose to do!? I tried consoling her but she continued to cry very heavy tears!
"K-Kuno-san! P-Please don't cry! I-I didn't mean to upset you! I just meant that you are a little different to the other ones but that doesn't mean anything bad. Please don't cry Kuno-san. You are a very unique Sekirei!"
I hope that sounded good. It sounded good in my head. But if that was conveyed, well I'm not that sure. I hope that it was okay. I patted Kuno-sans head lovingly and tried to calm her down with soothing words.
Eventually, she was able to calm down and we talked while eating. I thought that she was cute when eating. But at the same time, I thought that Kuno-san really is different to the other Sekirei I've met. She doesn't seem to be battle ready. She doesn't have any noticeable weapons so I can say that she isn't a weapon type. She doesn't seem like she can fight with her body so she isn't that either. So, does she use some kind of elemental power instead?
After we had finished eating, we exited the family restaurant. I should be getting back, Nanami-san will be worrying about me. And I don't want her to worry about me. Truth is, I think that Nanami-san is feeling sad right now. I can feel a certain sadness that doesn't belong to me. Is Nanami-san sad that I've not come back yet?
"Well this is it Kuno-san. Please be safe."
I bowed to her and turned… but I felt something pull my school bag. I looked and… saw Kuno-san looking at me with watery eyes.
"What is it, Kuno-san?"
"I...I've found you, Ashikabi-san."
I opened my eyes wide and put up my hands in a defensive position! Clearly she has chosen the wrong person! I'm not an Ashikabi to this girl! I have Nanami-san! She might be angry if I bring home another Sekirei! I-I know that its possible to wing more than one Sekirei but for me to do it without considering how Nanami-san would feel. I-I don't want to hurt her.
"I think you have mistaken me for someone else."
"No. You are Ashikabi-san. P-Please become my Ashikabi-san. I can't fight other Sekireis. All I can do is cry. I'm hopeless and pathetic. But you have warmed my heart when I was cold and alone. You are him. My Ashikabi-san. My destined partner."
What she said then is how I view myself also. When I was younger, all I did was cry to Onee-chan and my parents. I basically was a shut in and wouldn't come out at all. But then, on that fateful day, they died. My parents died and not long afterwards, Onee-chan became ill. So I had to… become stronger and even now, I'm in the process of finding out what it means to be stronger.
"Kuno-san. That is… I have a Sekirei and… well… I don't want to… Nanami-san is..."
She looked down to the ground and sobbed to herself. Geez, I have made a girl cry numerous times today. Onee-chan would be angry if she knew that I had done this. I took Kuno-san by the shoulders and smiled as strongly as I could.
"Kuno-san. I would be happy to become your Ashikabi."
"R-Really? Y-You would b-become that special person?"
I nodded at her. She doesn't seem to be safe on her own. And I wouldn't have to worry about her. I had reservations about leaving her alone anyway. This way, I will be able to know that she is safe. And I remember Nanami-san telling me that if a Sekirei reacts to me, then I should wing that person. Because a reaction to an Ashikabi is intense. I can even see it on that girls face. Her beet red face and her shaking body.
"I-I will."
I also blushed, and looked into her eyes.
"T-Thank you Ashikabi-san!"
"T-Then I will k-kiss you now."
And hope I don't faint. If I do it then I shouldn't faint. I hope I really don't faint. This girl can't look after herself, never mind me. I took her by the shoulders, and moved closer. I do this with extreme nervousness but isn't it better if its me rather than some creepy Ashikabi that wings her?
"Hidaka-san..."
"It's okay Kuno-san. I will look after you now."
I pressed my lips onto her own, fighting down a blush. Her lips are different to Nanami-sans lips. This is the second girl that I've ever kissed in my whole life. The girl moves closer to my body and pressed her boobs into my chest!
Shine!
The light that came from the Sekirei symbol on her back that Nanami-san told me about made bright golden like wings come out of her back. They spread open wide and flap a little. My second Sekirei is Kuno-san. I only planned on getting one Sekirei but Kuno-san is too vulnerable to stay on the streets. She reacted to me and I am taking responsibility for that reaction.
I broke the kiss, and stood back a little as the wings disappear. I can't faint. Don't faint. Don't faint. Don't faint Totsuka. Just don't faint.
"I-I am Sekirei No. 95, Kuno. At your s-service Ashikabi-san."
F-Fantastic. I have two Sekirei's now. One that's a fighter and the other that's a… little frightened. But now I… don't know what to do. I haven't fainted which is a good thing! I didn't want to faint and I haven't fainted!

(Nanami P.O.V)
Right now, a sight in front of me has made me upset. I only went out for a few hours to just kill time during the day after cleaning the apartment. But the apartment now is… the apartment is in ruins. It's all messy. Most things have been destroyed. I don't know why this has happened.
Totsuka-sama will be upset when he sees this. The apartment has been completely ruined. The place he calls home has been violated like this. When I thought that, I felt someone come from behind me so I looked and saw...
"W-What happened?"
It was Totsuka-sama and a girl I don't know. The girl… I think she is a Sekirei. She feels like a Sekirei and… why is she with Totsuka-sama. D-Don't tell me that Totsuka-sama has… winged this Sekirei? Has he winged someone else?
"Totsuka-sama… I don't know what happened..."
"USAGI-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"
He ran past me and went into the bedroom, so I followed attentively. That girl Sekirei also followed. When we got to the bedroom, I see Totsuka-sama hugging a stuffed rabbit.
"Thank God. If I lost this memento from my parents then I don't know what I would've done..."
"Totsuka-sama..."
"This is terrible, what happened Nanami-san? I know you didn't do this but do you have any idea?"
I shook my head. I haven't a clue as to what happened. It looks like someone broke it and messed up the apartment. But I haven't seen anything that is missing. Everything that should be here is in fact here.
"I...I found this on the table over there!"
The girl I don't know spoke up so we both looked and… saw that she had a note in her hands. Totsuka-sama went over to her and took the note and read it to himself...
"Toyotama did this."
"Toyotama? No. 16? Why?"
He handed me the note… it's because of me. She did this because of me...
"We can't sleep here. She's even destroyed the bed. Broke it in half and there's no futons either. There's no place for us to even sleep. Nanami-san, will you help me pack some clothes?"
"O-Of course I will Totsuka-sama."
"I will help also!"
The other girl offered her help so we three got to packing straight away. If only I had stayed at the apartment then I could've stopped this from happening...
"It isn't your fault Nanami-san. I can feel that you are feeling guilty. You didn't do this, and its only things. Possessions. They can be replaced, besides this bear and my locket. And thankfully, she didn't destroy them. Nanami-san… it's okay."
He patted my head comfortingly but I lost control and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back and patted my back comfortingly. He doesn't hate me. Even though this is all my fault. He doesn't blame me at all. He truly is the best Ashikabi. I love Totsuka-sama so much.
