"Iyaaaaa!"
Despite Toyotama's best efforts, some attacks where able to land on the green haired Sekirei. But the attacks aren't deep. They are more like small puncture wounds. That's because Toyotama is able to move away at the last second.
"E-Enough!"
Toyotama bends her body, dodging the latest stab from Nanami-sans weapon. Nanami-san, seeing her dodge her attack, jumps up and then comes down at Toyotama with the air even getting cut a little by the sheer force of the drop!
STAB!
Even though she tried to stab Toyotama, she missed her by a narrow margin by Toyotama bending her body out of the way. Toyotama smirks, seeing her opponents weapon stuck in the ground.
"Take this bitch!"
Nanami-san was able to pull her weapon out of the ground by her reaction time was...
BANG!
"Gwah!"
Nanami-san sat out bile as Toyotama swung her weapon with such force into Nanami-san's ribs that she forced Nanami-san flying backwards, and eventually crashing into a wall! I was about to move, but then I was frozen. I was frozen, not in the literal sense but… I can't do anything.
I can't believe I am witnessing this. This, is a battle of the Sekirei's. This is a battle of aliens, yet Nanami-san just got hit like that. I… want to do something to help her but what… can I do to help her...?
"You seem to be useless, huh."
...! A-A voice behind me! I turned to look at the person who spoke to me. When I looked, I saw a woman that is wearing a purple and yellow checkered outfit that wraps around her and is held together by a small ring just below her large bust. Because of the outfit of choice, parts of her body are exposed. Her midriff, her sides, her arms, even the outer portions of her thighs are exposed. For footwear, she is wearing long, thigh high black boots and her hair, which is dark coloured to match her dark coloured eyes, is really short. It, seems to be an inch or so long so it frames her skull nicely.
"W-What? Who are you? It's dangerous around here! Please..."
I then thought… She is a Sekirei, isn't she? The way she holds herself. The way she doesn't seem to be bothered by the fighting going on. But, is she a good or bad Sekirei? If its a bad one, then am I going to die?
"A-Answer my question please. Are you… a Sekirei?"
She mock claps at me as I hear the battle continue behind me, going strong. I briefly looked and saw that while neither side is giving an inch, they both have cuts on their bodies. Nanami-san has damaged her, but Nanami-san is getting hurt in return!
"Well done little boy. You got it right. I'm Sekirei No. 18, Ichiya. At your service, Ashikabi-sama~"
The way she said that then, sounded evil. I narrowed my eyes at her, and she just smirked sadistically back at me. I raised my arms, ready to defend myself. But I know, I'm clearly outmatched. There's no way I would be able to take on a Sekirei.
"Fufu, trying to defend yourself huh?"
Ichiya, the Sekirei in front of me starts moving closer to my body, ready to attack at any second.
"Stay away from him!"
"Don't even try you bitch!"
Nanami-san called out, but I heard the clanging of weapons. Nanami-san… Kuno-san… I need… help right now...
"If I kill you, Nanami over there gets terminated, and so would the other Sekirei you have. How sad this is. Having such a frail looking human as an Ashikabi. It's funny really. You are here, unprotected and your Sekirei is fighting for your life. Hehehehehehe! Such a cruel reality huh! Cruel for you!"
Ichiya rushes me with a high kick, so by instinct, I ducked the kick! I felt the air above me chance slightly as the kick passed by my head. But then, Ichiya slams her foot down, right in front of me.
BANG!
"Gwaaaaah!"
I was kicked in the jaw, and that brought me up into the air! My jaw hurts! It really hurts! Ichiya though, not caring what's happening to me, does a spin and kicks me straight in my abdomen, sending me flying into a lamppost!
"Totsuka-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Nanami-san screamed for me but couldn't come for me due to the Sekirei bitch Toyotama blocking her attempts. Pain courses throughout my body, screaming at me. My body is screaming at me to get up. I know damn it! If I don't stand and attempt to run, then I will die!
"Such frailness. Truly, it almost seems bad to kill you. And hey, for the record, while you might be cute, I still hate you for winging someone Master wants. Master wants as many as possible yet you took one away from him! You little bastard! Time to die!"
Ichiya, sprints forward with her long legs, ready to end my life. If she lands a full force kick on me, then I am going to die. And no matter how many times I yell at my body, it doesn't respond.
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
FLAMES!
"Iyaaaaa! It's hot!"
Huh...fire? Flames? Why is there fire in front of me? I'm confused. Does that… no. She was the one who screamed about the fire. And I don't even know where it came from.
"You've gone too far, No. 18. I suggest leaving that Ashikabi alone, immediately!"
With a threatening tone, I heard a strong, yet feminine voice. I looked around but I didn't see anyone. I don't even know where to look. But Ichiya just clicks her tongue in annoyance.
"Tch, No. 06, the Guardian Sekirei. Toyotama! Let's go!"
"Ugh, damn it! Next time No. 78! Next time!"
Those two then ran off in a hurry as Nanami-san rushes over to me, and hugs me very tightly. But that fire… where did it come from? Hmmmm… something about No. 06? The Guardian Sekirei...?
"I am so sorry Totsuka-sama! I-I didn't..."
"Shhh, its alright. This isn't your fault. There was two of them. You couldn't of done anymore Nanami-san."
"B-But… Totsuka-sama. I… wish to… be with Totsuka-sama and… I failed him by letting No. 18 get so close and to hurt you so. Totsuka-sama, I'm going to hone my skills, so this doesn't happen again."
I stroked her face and then patted her head.
"It wasn't your fault. Just keep thinking that and you'll be fine."
I then looked around one last time to see if I could see anyone that could've produced that fire, but I couldn't see anything. However, I decided to thank the person who saved me.
"Thank you, No. 06, whoever you are."
"No. 06? Who's that Totsuka-sama?"
"I don't know. Ichiya said No. 06 caused this fire, and in doing so, protected me. If I ever meet No. 06, then I will have to thank that person."
I looked off into the sky. Again I feel useless. Two Sekireis now. Does that mean, both Kuno-san and Nanami-san have to come with me from now on? It… isn't fair on them. If it wasn't for No. 06, then I would've been seriously injured, most likely killed. Thank you, No. 06.
