Fate Chapter 2

Chapter 2:  An Ashikabi

Kumi and Homura did not exchange any words as they walked the short distance to the cafe. Once they was inside the took the furthermost table from the door.

“Do you want anything to drink?” Homura asked looking at her as she slid into the seat across from his own.

“No thank you, I’m fine.” Kumi informs him as she gave him a smile in which he returned before taking the seat across from her.

“This may seem like a sudden question but do you know what an Ashikabi is?” Homura question knowing the chance of her knowing were slim but It never hurt to ask.

“No, I’m sorry. Is that some sort of term that means something?” Kumi asked as she tilted her head to the side in confusion.

“No, Its nothing. It just something I always ask people to break the ice.” Homura asked as he was on slightly lying, he did ask this question to break the ice but it did have a significant meaning in his life.

“I see… Ohh Yes, I wanted to give you back your change.” Kumi says holding out the change to Homura who looked confused.

“You may keep it. I gave it for ruining your groceries.” Homura says.

“I know but the amount you gave me was to much so I came to return it to you.” Kumi said placing the money in his hand.

“I see.” Homura started, “Their is something else that I wished to ask you.”

“What is it?” Kumi questioned as she leaned back into her chair.

“Do you know what an Ashikabi is?” Homura asked.

“An Ashikabi? No I don’t know what that is.” Kumi tells the other. “Is it like a new game.”

“No, an Ashikabi are unique humans that are able to activate a Sekirei's ability.” Homura explains, “A Sekirei is what I am super charged extraterrestrial that looks like a human, each one of us have our own powers and abilities. Are you understanding so far?”

“I understand so far but what does that have to do with me?” Kumi asked as she looked at him confused.

“I believe that you may be my Ashikabi but I have never once have been able to release my power, and in roughly 3 months the Sekirei plan will start and none on this island will be able to leave so I asking will you try to be my Ashikabi?” Homura requested.

“Hmm… I don’t really know about being an Ashikabi in all but I do know that this island is my home and I want to protect it, so rather than being just your maybe Ashikabi lets be friends.” Kumi suggested with a big smile as he held out her hand to the other. “As well all these things about other Sekirei, I don’t know what your powers are but I would be stupid to leave when all the fun is about to happen in a couple of months.”

Homura stares at her shocked before breaking out into a huge grin, “Why am I not surprised.”

“Did you say something?” Kumi asked as he looked at the Sekirei.

“No I said nothing.”  Homura said as he shook his head as he watched her from the other side of the table, when Homura felt a sharp pain to his chest causing him to fall forward, with her hand clenching his chest.

Groaning he feels the pain on his chest grown more painful and began to spread through his entire body. Kumi looked over to him with a look of worry.

“Homura, are you okay you don’t look to well.” Kumi says as Homura began to sway slightly but caught himself onto the table.

“You are at my house, i did not know where you lived so I took you to my house.”  Kumi tells him as she took the towel from his forehead and placed it inside a water bowl the placing it back on his forehead before offering him a glass of water.

“I see thank you thank you Kumi.” Homura says, “But if you would please grab my phone and dial the pin 1768 into my phone and dial the number Miya she is my landlord she will come and get me.” As    
the medicine in the glass of water began to takes it effect on him.

“I will call her.” Kumi said fishing the phone out of the other pocket before entering the pin and dial one of the 4 numbers that was in the phone and the one named Miya.

“Homura, is this you? Where have you been, you missed dinner.” Miya nagged over the phone.

“I’m sorry Homura is unavailable he currently fainted at a restaurant near the main city and I brought him to my house and he told me to call you to ask for you to come pick him up.” Kumi informed the woman on the other land.

“Ahh I see, where is that you live if you don’t mind me asking, Miss…” Miya started.

“Oh right my name is Kumi. I live on 192 Bear flank building C apartment 43.” Kumi told her.

“Thank you, Kumi, I will come get Homura right away.” Miya says.

“Alright then I will patiently wait for you to come by.” Kumi says before hanging up the phone.
