Battle for the Green Girl

"Who will get the Girl of Green." This was the text that Theo received, and to say he was furious was an understatement.

Matsu couldn't withstand the pressure Theo was admitting and fell face first into her tatami mat, Miya wasn't fairing much better she could barely keep herself from collapsing but found the strength to speak to Theo.

"Theo… Please. Calm down… Matsu and I can't take this pressure." Miya strained.

The pressure in the room disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, Theo looked rather upset with himself for losing control of himself like that.

"I'm sorry about that Matsu, Miya. I haven't lost control like that before; I just can't believe he really would do it this way, I knew this would happen but I didn't expect to feel like this." Theo said angrily.

Miya and Matsu, confused, looked at each other for a moment before Matsu asked what was on both of their minds. "Theo, what are you talking about?"

"That fucker Minaka sent out an Ashikabi wide text, it says 'Who will get the Girl of Green' the girl in question is only a little girl who looks 8 at most. I knew this would happen but it's a little too early for it to be happening, I guess my interference in Mikogami getting Akitsu forced him to focus on Kusano earlier than planned." Theo explained to the girls, before continuing.

"I have been reacting to her for two days now, but I didn't want to bring her home yet as I wasn't sure what would happen if I did so too early. Homura's mission tonight would also be to protect her, which means Homura is in danger. Matsu, I will need you to monitor the situation while I go and get Akitsu and Musubi." With that Theo stood up and rushed to go wake up his Sekirei, while Miya and Matsu watched as a group of five converge on the now botanical Jungle.

Meanwhile Homura was not having a great night; he was on his way to protect No.108 under the order of Takami Sahashi MBI's head researcher and person in charge of the Sekirei plan. As Homura got closer to the jungle-like park two purple blurs could be seen dragging a tall and lean-built man with brown hair and gruff sporting his usual white undershirt brown jacket and jeans as they jumped from building to building with haste. This man was Seo Kaoru, Ashikabi of the twins Hikari and Hibiki.

When Homura finally caught up, Hikari was the first to speak up. "Homura we have been paid by Takami to help you protect No.108 till her supposed master finds her."

"Okay then that helps a lot thanks for taking up the offer." Homura replied as they got closer to their destination.

When they arrived, they saw a group of five already there walking into the jungle-like park. Mutsu, sensing something coming from behind them, turned around while saying to Mikogami. "Mikogami get ready for a fight. We got a group of Sekirei incoming. Could be the Higa due to the number but be ready."

"Mutsu, do you know how many are coming?" asked Mikogami.

"Four I think but I can't tell if they are all Sekirei or if there are humans with them." Responded Mutsu.

"Sweet we will get to fight. I haven't had a good fight in a long time." The voice of a blonde-haired twin tail girl from behind Mutsu. This girl was No.37 Mitsuha she was wearing a black Chinese style dress with a big yellow vertical stripe in the middle of it with her weapon of choice a whip in her left hand standing only one-hundred and fifty-seven centimetres she is on the shorter side being even shorter than her fifteen year old master.

"Mitsuha don't be too complacent you don't know who we will be fighting let's just hope it isn't the Disciplinary Squad." Said Yomi the Sekirei that Musubi broke the weapon she uses in combat, but thanks to MBI she has a new scythe for her to wield.

The group of five stood and waited to see who was chasing them, a few moments later they came face to face with their enemies and Mutsu wasn't too shocked with Homura's arrival but was intrigued with the appearance of the lighting twins and their good for nothing Ashikabi.

"Mutsu, what do you think you're doing here? Don't tell me you guys are going after No.108." Homura asked Mutsu.

"Yes, that's right we are here to make No.108 emerge. You alone think you can stop us?" Mutsu replied, grabbing his sword ready to defend Mikogami at any moment.

"I'll protect No.108 even if I'm terminated in the process." With that Homura threw a ball at Mutsu only for him to block it with his sword only to run towards Homura to slash at his target only for Homura to dodge the incoming slash.

Whilst the fight between Mutsu and Homura commenced the twins Hikari and Hibiki sent lightning towards the group of four still standing in their way. The group dodged the incoming attack, only to have to dodge another lightning attack.

"Hey! Can you not try and hurt my master with that damn lightning of yours?" Yomi yelled at the twins before she continued. "Just because you are a pair of Sekirei to a trashy mooch of an Ashikabi doesn't mean you can attack my master. By the way, how is job searching coming along?" Yomi mockingly said to the girls.

"Shut up you scythe wielding skank, our Seo is a thousand times better than your rich, good-looking, brilliant Ashikabi." Hikari yelled back while crying with jealousy.

"Hakari, you're only reinforcing her point by saying that." Hibiki explained whilst behind them Seo pretended to not hear the conversation between his Sekirei and the enemies Sekirei.

"Yomi you go find my prize while Mitsuha and Mitsuki will fight these two." Mikogami finally spoke after watching his Sekirei defend his honour.

"Yes, master, I will be back shortly with your prize." Yomi replied before following her orders from Mikogami.

Back with Mutsu and Homura their fight continued but with Homura looking worse for wear and with a few shallow cuts all over Homura's body Mutsu looked like would come out on top of this bout. That was until Homura could feel someone else arriving onto the battlefield.

"Ahh! It's Kagari. What are you doing here?" Musubi excitedly said.

Homura panicked as he heard the voice as he turned around to see the three new residents that moved into Izumo Inn this week. "Oh… I'm sorry I thought you were someone else. You look just like him from behind. But Kagari doesn't wear a mask." Musubi continued making Homura sigh in relief of the airhead not noticing her mistake.

When Homura made eye contact with Theo though, Homura's heartbeat started to race and body started to heat up more than normal.

"What do you think you're doing here? Don't tell me you're also after No.108?" Mutsu asked Theo.

Hearing Mutsu speak, Theo only now looked at Mutsu and replied. "I'm here to get the Sekirei that is asking for my help. You on the other hand have no right to go after her, now if you will excuse me, I need to go protect my future Sekirei. Akitsu entertains him for me, and also protects the Sekirei to our left. I don't want them getting hurt before they find their Ashikabi too."

With that Musubi and Theo were off again this time towards Theo's next Sekirei. Mutsu however was not happy that once again his master was going to lose out on a Sekirei because of this guy. His mind shifted to try to take out a Sekirei from the person that's about to take another away, in his mind however he was still terrified by that Ashikabi but will at least take out one of his Sekirei.

Akitsu, unaware of Mutsu's inner struggle, said nothing as she followed her beloved orders and attacked Mutsu by sending five ice spears toward him. Mutsu ready for the attack slashed out at the ice spears destroying them with ease, not willing to wait for another attack Mutsu charged toward Akitsu. Akitsu, ready for this action, decided that plain old spears wouldn't be enough, so she decided to use a move that Theo recommended for her to work on.

"Fifty Icy-Spear Storm'' she said and with a wave of her hand fifty spears made from ice appeared all around Mutsu.

Stunned by this Mutsu stopped running and prepared to defend himself, as the spears flew towards him Mutsu continued to slash the ice spears with a much faster pace than before. Once he decided that he needed to throw her off balance, he slammed his sword into the ground saying, "Smashing Point" the ground then collapsed on its way toward the unsuspecting Akitsu.

Akitsu not expecting this attack fell forward, Mutsu anticipating this ran toward Akitsu and slashed at her. Time slowed down for Akitsu as she watched Mutsu sword get ever closer to her neck.

Sekirei number 108 was quietly crying to herself curled in a ball waiting for her big brother to come to save her. Kusano otherwise known as No.108 is a little girl with the appearance of an eight-year-old standing only one-hundred and eight centimetres tall; she is the smallest and youngest of the Sekirei. With golden yellow hair reaching down to her knees she has a white bow tied to a section of hair behind her ear, she wears a white dress that reaches just above her knees. Kusano had been waiting for her big brother for two days now and was really looking forward to meeting him but when that other man came to force her to emerge, she got really scared and turned the botanical garden into a jungle to protect herself. She called out to her brother many times over the last two days, but finally she could feel him getting closer to her the closer he got the less she would cry. She was currently dreaming about meeting her big brother when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching, thinking that it was her big brother she got excited and walked over to the footsteps.

But what she saw was not what she wanted to see. "So, this is where you have been." The voice said.

To Kusano this was exactly why she was hiding, this Sekirei was the very Sekirei that came for her two days prior, she became so frightened she started shaking. "Well? Won't you accompany me back to my master?" The scary woman asked Kusano.

"No, I'm waiting for my big brother to find me." Kusano replied, shaking her head in defiance.

"Look here you little brat my master wants you to be his Sekirei so you will be." She then started walking toward Kusano and was about to grab her when she was suddenly punched in the back of the head and sent flying.

Kusano, surprised by this, shrieked and thought someone else was after her but, when she heard the voice she had been waiting for her and looked towards it.

"Hey there Ku, sorry it took so long but I'm here now." The voice of her big brother said to her, she jumped into his arms while crying her little eyes out.

"Please save me, big brother." She asked him while she cried into his shoulder.

"I'll always save you Ku no matter where you are." Theo replied, hugging her trembling body.

In just a few seconds she was asleep in Theo's arms, Theo looked up at Musubi and saw her once again look at him with a loving gaze then commanded.

"Musubi deals with this woman. She needs to learn that I don't take kindly to someone trying to hurt my family." Musubi, surprised by Theo's sudden temperament, could tell he was angry, which was a first for her.

This in turn upset her as well as she loved Theo when he was happy. She then turned toward the Sekirei that upset Theo and said. "You are the first person I've seen upset my master and therefore upset me. I'm going to take you out as my master requests, prepare to fight. I'm Sekirei No.88 Musubi." She then got into the Muay Thai stance Theo had shown her.

Yomi looked at Musubi and laughed before saying. "That's your master? What a dull looking man I'm glad my Ashikabi is better looking." She said lifting her scythe to stand at the ready.

Musubi said nothing back but you could tell she wasn't happy about what her opponent said about Theo.

She was glad to have him in her life and wouldn't trade him for anything. Musubi, with her anger, charged at Yomi and sent a punch out toward her assailant. Yomi ready for this swung her scythe towards Musubi creating a sharp air current that hit Musubi unaware shredding her top and bra exposing her large breasts while sending her flying back five metres. When she landed, she was once again met with another sharp air current which was aimed at her torso. Though she managed to avoid most of the attack by jumping back a bit, she still got hit and only minor cuts were dealt to her. Not wasting any time Yomi then charged toward the still airborne Musubi, she then swung her scythe towards Musubi. Hitting her target's arm sent Musubi barreling towards one of the large veins sticking out of the ground.

Knowing Musubi would be fine but was in need of a little guidance, Theo confidently spoke to her. "Musubi, relax and don't let your anger cloud your judgement. Remember what Miya has taught you over the last two days and remind yourself that you must not lose ever."

Hearing Theo's words Yomi laughed once again and spoke. "What nonsense are you spouting out now? I'm going to finish her off right in-front of you then take the child back to my master."

"No, you won't. Musubi won't lose because I believe that she won't as she said that she would defeat anyone in the way of her goals." Theo confidently replied.

Musubi suddenly charged towards Yomi once again but this time Yomi was the one caught off guard receiving two punches to the face then one kick to the stomach sending her flying. Not finished yet Musubi chased after the now flying Yomi, when Yomi hit a vine behind her the wind got knocked right out of her. This wasn't all that was installed for her as musubi then arrived to send a barrage of punches towards Yomi's face and torso.

To finish her assault off however she smashed Yomi's head down onto her knee. Yomi, unable to deal with this assault, finally collapsed onto the ground, her visible Sekirei symbol now fading as she spoke one last time. "I'm sorry, Master."

Theo, who still had a sleeping Kusano in his arms, walked over to Musubi who now stood over Yomi and said. "You did a great job Musubi, your lessons with Miya have done wonders for your combat ability." He then wrapped his free right arm around her chest, with his arm now covering her breasts Theo pulled her into a hug.

Enjoying his touch Musubi replied. "Thanks for believing in me Theo. I didn't think I would win for a moment there. Once MBI comes and picks her up we can go home and sleep, I'm really tired after all." Theo didn't say anything, only holding Musubi tighter while kissing her on the top of her head.

Meanwhile, just as Mutsu's sword was about to slice Akitsu's head off, a thick chunk of ice blocked the blade's sharpness but not the force of the impact sending Akitsu flying. Akitsu spun in the air by using the force of the impact she managed to spin herself upright landing safely on her feet.

"You're quite impressive, Akitsu. It's a shame that Mikogami couldn't make you emerge before your Ashikabi found you." Mutsu said to her in a disappointed tone.

"I'm grateful that you chased me the other day because if you didn't, I would have taken longer to find him." Akitsu monotoned as she bowed politely to Mutsu.

Sighing, Mutsu responded, "I'm glad you're happy, you didn't have to deal with an Ashikabi that was whining the whole night. Well chatting aside we should get back to it."

Nodding Akitsu created ice spears once again but when she was about to continue where they left off a faint mechanical sound could be heard coming from behind them. All three Sekirei looked towards the sound to see MBI helicopters on the way over to their location.

Mikogami could be seen running over to where Mutsu was having his battle as he got closer, he called out to Mutsu. "Mutsu, it seems that useless girl has been terminated and I lost another Sekirei to someone. This is the second damn time this week." Mikogami then noticed Akitsu just a short distance away, Mikogami realized what the situation turned out to be and yelled his lungs out before saying. "So, it's the same guy that took No.07 from me and not only that but one of his Sekirei has defeated one of mine. Damn… he is starting to get on my nerves. Let's go Mutsu there, no point in staying here now they have gotten the prize." Mutsu nodded and grabbed Mikogami and headed home but not before getting the other two Sekirei they brought with them.

Akitsu with the fight now over ignored the injured Homura and headed towards the helicopter to look for her Ashikabi. Homura, shocked at the sudden departure, tried to stand up but felt exhausted from today's work and just laid on the ground.

"Should we go and stop who has Kusano like we were paid to do?" Seo asked Homura to which Homura shook his head. "No, Theo said that he was here to get the Sekirei asking for his help. So, I gather he is her fated Ashikabi." Homura said whilst continuing to lay on the ground.

"Hmm… So you know this person?" Seo inquired.

"Yeah, they just moved in this week. He seems like a good guy so I believe he will look after her." Homura replied.

"Let's get you to hospital and get you patched up before you go home. I don't think you want them getting suspicious." Seo then got Hikari and Hibiki to carry Homura to the hospital.

The next day, once they got home and slept, Kusano seemed rather happy with her new situation after having a bath and a big breakfast. Theo and Kusano could be found sitting on the porch with little Kusano sitting on his lap brushing her hair.

"Thank you for saving me, big brother. Ku was really scared." Kusano said whilst enjoying Theo brushing her hair.

"No need to thank me Ku. After all it was you that called out to me asking for help and how could I let such a sweet girl cry her heart out." Theo replied as he tied the ribbon in her hair how she likes it.

When Theo finished tying her hair, Kusano faced him and said, "Big brother, I want you to be my Ashikabi." With that she kissed him.
