(Totsuka P.O.V)
Its been several days since I became Akitsu-sans Ashikabi. According to her, she said that it would be impossible for her to be winged, but I winged her. Does that make me the impossible possible guy? Either way, I winged her and now, she doesn't have to worry about being alone again.
She was alone, yet I was able to help her. I would've done it either way. Even if she was another's Sekirei. I will help anyone that needs help. No matter who it is, I will help that person as long as they have good intentions. Akitsu-san, Nanami-san, and Kuno-san. These three people are very important to me now. And Onee-chan is… she is very important to me now also. She has always been important to me. My only family. She is someone I love so much.
But, as for Akitsu-sans choice of clothing. Well, it is very… revealing. We went shopping the other day, and that's what she picked out. It even has chains. For someone like me, still in the developmental stage of life, I'm still adjusting to seeing it everyday. Everyday, I'm woken up to three girls, sometimes four in the form of Uzume-san, clinging to me for dear life.
I can understand my Sekireis but I don't know why Uzume-san does it. Maybe to just see my reaction...? She seems to like to tease me. I don't know why she does it, unless she gets fun out of it. Yeah, its got to be the fun aspect of it, hasn't it?
But speaking of fun, someone else has fun with me. Yukari-san. She keeps sending me weird messages, and wants me to meet up with her. I am a little wary about that. I mean, the last time I met with this girl, she jumped me, screamed about being the pedobear and then ran away, then came back and put her number in my phone after I had explained my true age. What would happen if I meet her again...?
"Ah… Master."
"Akitsu-san… good morning."
I brushed some hair out of her face, and smiled sweetly. Akitsu-san in the morning is cute after all~ She moved up my body, and laid her head on my chest, happily snuggling in, but doesn't show it on her face. I can however feel it through our bond. I can feel her bond strongly.
"...Uuuu… Hidaka-san..." Kuno-san mumbled in her sleep, as I saw Nanami-san lifting her head off my chest, looking me in the eyes, then putting her head back on my chest lovingly, comfortingly. Hehe, I could die happy right now. Just having these three girls cuddling me is perfect. Uzume-san isn't here today. She is relaxing in her room I guess.
"Totsuka-sama, it's another school day today~"
"I-It certainly is."
"Heeee, I guess we should be getting up soon. But...uu, I don't want to. Totsuka-sama, can we not stay in bed?"
That's very tempting. Staying in bed with these three wouldn't be so bad.
"Ah… I'm for that also."
A-Akitsu-san wants to stay in bed also! W-Well, I wish we could but I have to go to school soon.
"See, Totsuka-sama? Me, Akitsu-chan and most likely Kuno-chan there would be for it also. So, why don't we just stay in bed with one another? We could cuddle one another, hug one another, kiss one another..."
Open!
"Eep!"
Nanami-san let out a cute sound as my door was violently opened. The woman standing there is the grim reaper of Izumo Inn! She is Asama Miya-san! The Devil incarnate! Ehehe, just kidding, I think. I don't believe she is the Devil but she could be considered close to it, I think.
"Nanami, did I hear right how you wanted to make Hidaka-san skip school?"
"W-Well..."
"Nanami. School at Hidaka-sans age is important, you know? Even if it isn't mandatory, if you wish to have a future, then he has to attend school."
That sounded so dark! If you wish to have a future! Is she threatening to cut Nanami-san's future short!? Nanami-san lifts her hand to her face, and sobs to herself quietly! I-I think I would be the same if I was her! S-She saying things like that!? I-I am frightened of Miya-san right now!
"I-I'm sorry Miya-sama!"
S-Sama!? M-Miya-sama now!? Miya-san raises her hand to her mouth, and lets out the darkest chuckle I've ever heard. Seriously. That sucker was evil. Even I don't know how to respond to something like that. I petted Nanami-sans head, but that seemed to make her even more sad.
"Uwah...Totsuka-sama, I'll never suggest us sleeping in ever again."
Oh great! She's broken Nanami-san! Nanami-san stands up, goes over to Miya-san, bows her head, then falls to the floor unconscious! W-Why can this woman knock out my Sekirei so easily!?
"Oh dear. Nanami has fainted again. Hoho~ I guess she was a little too tired to stand~ Oh, breakfast is ready~"
Miya-san, while whistling left the room. I looked at Nanami-san to see her talking in her sleep about Miya-san coming after her. Geez Miya-san, please don't try and kill my Sekirei in the morning times!
"Ah… Nanami has fainted again Master."
"Akitsu-san, you know you don't have to call me Master, right?"
That's what I tell her a lot, but she just shakes her head with a blank expression on her face. Her usual look. Sometimes she shows emotions but sometimes she doesn't. It's… erm, complicated at best. At worst, I don't know. Its Akitsu-san after all, so I don't care what she is like, as long as she is happy with me.
"Ah… but I must Master. Master… winged me. The unwingable. Master is… going to be the best… Master. He is… Master after all. I… love Master very much. He is my… husband after all."
Yeah, her husband. I find it weird that a kiss means we are married by Sekirei terms, but if that's their way then who am I to say no? It's… a Sekirei thing. And I respect that Sekirei thing. Although I don't agree with Minaka's way of handling things. Making Akitsu-san like that, and making Sekirei's think that they are servants. Its just wrong, in so many ways.
"I-I know. I'm g-glad Akitsu-san chose me as a Ashikabi… I'm glad I was able to wing you."
I said with a smile. I am glad I could wing her. She deserved that much. Akitsu-san snuggles up to me, as Kuno-san opens her eyes. She looks at Nanami-san, then looks at me with a timid smile.
"Ah… me too."
Kuno-san then moves up my body and hugs me around my neck.
"Hidaka-san! G-Good morning!"
I smiled a little at her. But then I stood up.
"Uuu, I have to get ready for school now~ Nanami-san, its time to wake up~"
She stirs but doesn't wake up. W-Well, I guess she will wake up soon. She did become scared of Miya-san after all. Even I am scared of Miya-san. I sighed to myself, and went to get my clothes on for the day as did the other girls minus Nanami-san who's passed out. I'm sure she will wake up soon enough.
Once getting dressed, I headed downstairs with Akitsu-san and Kuno-san. Nanami-san is...bindisposed at the moment. Getting downstairs, I saw Kagari-san so I greeted her.
"Good morning Kagari-san!"
Seeing me, she also greeted back.
"Good morning. Say, do you mind if I ask you something?"
I simply shook my head. I wonder what she wants to ask?
"Your age, is 16 isn't it?"
I raised an eyebrow and nodded.
"It is. Why do you ask?"
"A… Ah, no reason. I was just curious, that's all."
"I-I see. Is there anything else you want to know? If you do, don't be hesitant to ask about it."
"Hmmm, I don't have any for now. But if I do, I'll let you know."
"Kay!"
With a small giggle, she left to go upstairs. Hmmm, I still think that her voice is similar to No. 06's voice. I remember the voice well, and her voice matches that of No. 06's within a marginal error of 0.8 percent. W-Well, I'm sure that if she is No. 06 then she will tell me sooner or later. And if she isn't, then it doesn't matter. We are still friends as we both live at Izumo Inn!

… Sometime later, I am heading to school with my usual entourage. It hasn't been that much time since this mornings… well, this morning. But it certainly was interesting to see Nanami-san faint again. I've never seen her so frightened. But now, I am a little freaked of the looks people are giving us.
That's because, Nanami-san, Kuno-san and Akitsu-san are all clinging to me tightly. Holding onto whatever part of my body that they can hold onto. And everyone who I pass gives us strange looks. I-I'm not that bothered about it, but I am annoyed by how they keep looking at us.
"Aah, what a lovely day~"
I practically sang out. It is a lovely day. And we continued towards the school, talking like normal. Still, I wish Akitsu-san wore something… less revealing. For me, it's nice but for other people, it's bad. Like all the hormonal boys around here for one. They just stare at her chest, but that's also true for my other two Sekirei.
Once getting to school, I split off from my Sekirei, who go and do what they want. They walk me to school, then they go and do whatever they want around the town, but come back later after school. Ehehe, once Toyotama leaves me alone, along with Ichiya then they wont have to walk me to school.
"Look, it's shorty!"
"Midget!"
People from various classes say to me as I walk to my class. I've pretty much blocked it out. Its been pretty much like that since, I can remember. I don't care anymore. I'm past the point of caring. And it isn't like its everyone that does it. Just some Neanderthals.
I make it to my class and sit in my usual seat which is the one at the back, and in the left hand corner. There's one seat that's filled in front of me, but there's another one that's vacant to my right. There used to be someone who sat there, but I heard that he transferred out of the school due to… various problems. I don't know the full story and it isn't my place to snoop.
Just another day at school… I wish my Sekirei could come to school with me. But they look a little too hold for my year. Nanami-san could pass for a third year maybe and Kuno-san could pass for a second year. But Akitsu-san looks like a fully mature woman. And I don't see her as the sensei type hehe. It's just so… boring in school.
It really isn't a challenge at all. I pass all my tests easily, do my assignments easily. But, I just don't have any friends in school. But… I'm fine with that as I have Sekireis, I don't have to be alone again...
"Alright class. Sit down, we have a new student joining our class."
A new student? This late in the school year? A transfer student? Meh, I don't have to worry about it anyway. Everyone in the class sits down and faces the front of the room.
"Alright, you may come in now."
The sensei spoke. Then, someone comes into the classroom. The figure is that of a girl that is around my age. She has short purple hair that has a small magenta bow on the front of her head, and brown eyes. She is wearing the normal school uniform, female version, which consists of a upper thigh length checkered skirt that consists of blue and black. A white shirt and the checkered tie of the same colour as the skirt.
The girl is quite cute actually. All the guys in the class seem to be whistling at the new girl, but she doesn't seem to be interested. The girl curtseys to the rest of the class.
"Hello everyone. My name is Oriha. Pleased to make your acquaintances."
She spoke, in a sing-song voice and an upbeat tone. Of course, all the boys look on in pervy ways as the girls look a little jealous. I guess I would be too if I was them. She's very cute indeed.
"My, so polite. Now to find you a seat..."
The sensei's eyes scan the room, looking for a seat for the new student. But, the new student, I think she said her name was Oriha-san, points at something. She points at the back of the class. No, she is pointing to the seat next to me.
"Hey, Sensei. Can I sit there?"
"Y-Yes, I don't see the problem."
"Awesome!"
The girl skips down the row of chairs and desks to her seat. But, she then turns to me with a small cute smile on her face.
"Hehe, I think we'll get along well, from now on~"
"Eh?"
She then mumbles something at me but I didn't get it. She then sat down and proceeded to stare at me with intense eyes… eh? W-Whats with that creep stare? Erm… I think something strange is about to happen but… what?
