''Chiho-san, Uzume-san, how are you this fine morning?'' Naruto greeted, bringing in a bouquet of Daisies. Not only were they bright and cheerful, but unlike carnations or lily they didn't have a heavy fragrance so it the smell wouldn't overpower and agitate Chiho's condition. ''For you beautiful.'' he handed Chiho the flowers.

''Arigatou, Uzumaki-kun. You're such a thoughtful man.'' Chiho replied.

''I've brought someone who can help. She's an old friend of mine, her name is Hatake Shizune and she's a highly skilled medical professional.'' he explained as he called out to said woman who was waiting in the hallway. The woman who entered the room looked to be in her late twenties, short black hair, beautiful skin, in a silk black kimono with a slight bump, indicating that she was pregnant.

''Hello, my name is Hatake Shizune, feel free to refer to me as Shizune-san. Naruto-kun has told me about your condition.''

''Its lovely to meet you Shizune-san.'' Chiho replied.

''Uzume-san, we should leave them be so Shizune-nee-chan, can test in peace.'' he softly suggested as the brown haired Sekirei began protesting.

''But I can't leave. What if she needs me? What if something goes wrong. I...''

''Its okay Uzume-chan, I'll be fine.'' Chiho called out to her. It took some more assurance from her Sekirei before Uzume let the medical professional do her work in peace.

''Shizune-nee-chan is a professional. She's one of the best medics I know, you're Ashikabi is in safe hands.'' he assured her. The two of them went and sat down in lounge chairs.

''Where's Akitsu-chan, Homura-kun, and Kujou-chan?'' Uzume asked, trying to focus her attention to elsewhere so she wouldn't worry about Chiho. Worrying herself to death would not help her Ashikabi. She had to trust in Naruto's Nee-chan.

''Akitsu and Kujou are probably still sleeping. I've been observing the abilities of other Sekirei and while Akitsu could hold her own, Kujou has a lot of catching up to do. So we spent some late night training to make sure they can catch up. As for Homura, he said he wasn't feeling well. Considering you both live at the Inn, I'm surprise you weren't aware.'' he said as Uzume merely shrugged.

''So, Uzume-san, are there any other Sekirei at the Inn?'' he asked as Uzume tensed. 'As I thought.'

''Why would you ask that?'' she asked, trying to play off her reaction.

''Well for one, you Sekirei have...er, you have very healthy,'' he trailed off, hoping that it wouldn't sound like he was trying to avoid talking about her body when that was not his intent. ''Eating habits.'' he finally said. How else was he going to put it? It wasn't his fault that a woman with a healthy appetite had overtones when it came to the size of a woman's bosom stated in many forms of media and such.

''Hhm, I don't get what you mean.'' she replied.

''That you Sekirei have a normal, healthy diet compared to say, several women who starve themselves on salads.'' he countered.

''Hhm, I'm not sure I'm getting what you're saying.'' she said, a slight smile tugging at her lips.

''You're screwing with me aren't you?'' he asked, a grin forming on his face. It looks like someone had bit of a prankster's streak, at least when it came to teasing people.

Uzume promptly pouted at this proclamation. ''No fair, you go and ruin my fun.''

''Sorry Uzume-chan, but a lifetime of several women teasing me helps me build up a rather strong immunity.'' he replied, the grin still on his face. ''Uzume-san, back to my question. I should say, I know there is another Sekirei at the Inn. One of the concepts that a warrior like me was taught is to always be on the lookout for surveillance equipment and spies. Not to mention my sense of smell is not something easily countered considering this isn't my native world so it wasn't hard to put the pieces together.''

''Indeed Naruto-san. Its true, their is in fact another Sekirei at the Inn.'' Uzume replied.

At the Inn said Sekirei was in her private room, on her computer. She was currently going through the files of various Sekirei and their Ashikabi.

''This man...this is the one who specially makes my Sekirei Mark hot.'' the glasses wearing Sekirei mumbled as she stroke the screen. ''Why? Why are you cooler every time I see you?'' she said as the images of Akitsu, Kojou, and Homura appeared on the screen. ''To thing he winged number 7 and Homura as well. He has interesting tastes.'' the Sekirei mumbled with a perverted giggle. ''The Life-giver...data virtually unknown, not to mention blond hair. I wonder if its natural? Is he a bad boy?'' a warmth began pooling in her body. ''Sekirei and Ashikabi. The secret of mind and body. There's no other way to solve the riddle, but using this body.'' she thought as she began planning a few things to make sure everything would be perfect.

Back at the hospital Naruto let out a dried hiss as a flash of heat coursed through him. Uzume couldn't help but wince as she also felt a burst of heat course through her. ''The hell?''

''Could it be Homura-kun?'' Uzume replied. ''It must be your Ashikabi and Sekirei connection. Something must be wrong.'' she suggested as Naruto got up.

''I'm sorry Uzume-chan, if that's the case then Homura-kun needs me. I'm sorry, I'll be back as soon as I can.'' he stated as Uzume nodded.

''I understand Naruto-kun,'' Uzume replied. If their was anyone that was understanding in a Ashikabi and Sekirei's plight for each other it was her.

Naruto quickly exited the hospital after making sure the genjutsu he established on Chiho's room wouldn't come undone. He soon arrived to the Izumo Inn.

''Amane-sama!'' Naruto respectfully greeted the Landlady who seemed to be on her way to exiting the grounds.

''Uzumaki-san!'' she returned, stopping in her tracks.

''I think we both know my reason for being here. We can have our discussion later.'' he suggested as Miya nodded. She promptly led him to where Homura was.
Unfortunately winging Homura was not enough for whatever was going on was having the silver haired young man go through violent spasms.

''Something's wrong.'' Homura latched onto Naruto's free arm and asked, "Can you make it stop?" The desperation in his voice was nothing compared to the fear in his eyes.

''I'll do my best.'' he said as Akitsu and Kujou appeared at the doorway, sensing the other's plight. ''Kujou-chan, help Homura-kun up. Akitsu-chan, use your power to keep him cool.''

''Yes Naruto-sama/of course Naruto-sama!'' they replied. Once Homura was ready Naruto used the improved Mind Walker Jutsu that Ino taught him to enter Homura's mind.

Naruto was relieved that whatever this bond between Ashikabi and Sekirei it worked on the same principle of those who were connected could enter the mind scape. Naruto found himself in a lab of some sort. It was dark, lifeless, and sterile. Down the long hallway was a flicker of red, orange, and yellow light. He began making his way towards it when suddenly a ball of fire shot down at incredible speeds. Naruto ducked into a nearby hallway as the fireball went by. He waited for another fireball and see if another one was going to come. Making it down the hallway he soon came across a bound figure, silver hair and very familiar; though there was a very distinct difference from who he was thinking of. This figure was that of a woman.

''Let me go...I want...I want to get out.'' the bound figure spoke.

''Hold on, I'll...'' Naruto began reaching only for a powerful blaze to erupt causing him to stumble back. ''Shit, and this is the part where things get bad.'' he mumbled as sure enough out of thin air several figures appeared. They were all humanoid, dressed as scientists with scalpels and syringes. ''I'll help you. Don't worry.'' Naruto stated as he leaped forward, his hand going through one of the scientist. He spun, his arm phased right through another one as he stumbled forward. For a brief moment he wondered it was all an illusion until one of them hurled a scalpel and it cut his cheek.

A funnel of wind gathered around Naruto's hand as he punched the ground. Several mini-tornadoes erupted around him sending the scientists flying away. Despite his attempts the scientist were unharmed. 'Shit, their figments of the mind. Being incoporable beings they can't be defeated physically and since its not my mind I can't take control.' Naruto turned to the individual who was bound. ''Homura...you have to fight it. You have to free yourself.'' he said as he swayed to the side, grabbed one of the scientists hand and send him flying into a tray of tools with a toss.

''Can't...not strong enough. I...I'm an abomination.'' the bound figure spoke in a broken voice.

''Homura...this is your mind. This is your body. No matter what, you're as strong as you make yourself out to be. Akitsu-chan thought herself unworthy and broken, but I was able to wing her. She is worthy and so are you. I don't know what's going on, but as long as you love and respect yourself then what those psychos at MBI told you doesn't matter.'' he encouraged her. Naruto's speech came to an end as he found himself surrounded. ''I can't save you Homura. Only you can save yourself. You're strong. Don't give in!''

''I'm not a freak!''

''No!''

''I'm not...an abomination!''

''No!''

''You won't...you won't hurt me?''

''If I do, feel free to turn me into Flambe.''

The restraints that kept Homura bound were singed. Landing down on to her feet fire radiated around the female form of Homura. A wave of fire washed over Homura and lashed out, incinerating the demons that haunted her mind and fed the insecurities that plagued her. That what happened to her made her unworthy.

''You did it!'' Naruto stated as he moved opposite of Homura. ''Is this...are you..''

''I...I don't know.'' this female Homura admitted. ''Its said Sekirei shape themselves into what their Ashikabi want, but I've never heard of a physical change to this magnitude.''

''And considering you and Akitsu both were experimented on and result of your experimentation; the fact you were originally female and your mind was tampered with seems likely.'' he guessed and extended his hand. ''Let's go home. Homura.'' he stated, extending his hand to which the Sekirei accepted.

Homura woke up with a groan. Naruto's consciousness also returned to his body. ''Are you okay?'' he asked as Homura spasm and clutched her arms, letting out another a pained cry.

''MY BODY!'' he shrieked in pain.

''Its probably adjusting to the change. Your mind is synching with what's going. You have the body of a man, undergoing a gender change with both both a masculine and feminine mindset fighting to coexist in the same place. Its something my friend Ino's father explained to me. Those of the Yamanka clan that have gender identity issues are extremely dangerous cases considering how much more likely they are to suffer from mental illnesses or drawback. Because I have a technique that can change me into a real woman with everything that entails, they made sure to drill this sort of thing into my head so I would know about all the implications of mixing such techniques. You're going to have to have to bare with the pain as your body changes. I'll be here until its done.'' he promised.

''Thank you...'' Homura whispered. Several hours had passed and Homura had passed out from the pain and his body continued its changes.

''You have a large heart Uzumaki-san.'' Miya replied, entering the room. It was nightfall and Homura was still sound asleep. ''Most people wouldn't have been able to keep their heads in this type of situation.''

''It comes with the territory.'' he answered. ''Miya-san, you're a Sekirei right?'' he asked, and even without the confirmation he knew the answer. ''I've figured out a few things on my own. The fact you terrified my Sekirei with an exert of your presence made it previous obvious.'' he added.

''What are your plans Uzumaki-san?''

''I want to stop this cycle of using Sekirei as place things.'' he said as he freshened Homura's towel with fresh water and placed it on her head.

''That is a bold claim. One man with three Sekirei?'' she asked as Naruto chuckled.

''I have friends in high places. There are also three Ashikabi in particular I should watch out for. South, also known as Mikogami currently has six Sekirei. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get much information on him besides the fact he seems quite childish. Though if Sekirei number indicates powerful then he is dangerous. Then their is the Ashikabi of the East, Izumi Higa, whose about to inherit a company who I know has at least two Sekirei. If there was ever someone that is cold-hearted then its that bastard. At least the previous guy is enthusiastic in his interest in , Sanada Nishi rides a motorcyle and the only Sekirei of his I seen is his close ranged fighter Kuzuri.''

''That's quite impressive. You've been putting some thought into this plan of yours?'' she asked as he nodded, moving back and sitting against the wall.

''I was looking for allies who would be willing to help. I don't know enough about Sekirei to go charging in without a plan. I don't want to endanger my Sekirei, or of those who actually care about their Sekirei, though so far only Chiho-san has shown that quality. In fact I have been researching into something Since its possible for Sekirei to be forcibly bonded, I've been looking into means to break the bond and rewing Sekirei to their true Ashikabi.'' he explained as Miya's eyes widened slightly. It had been a long time since she heard something so surprising.

''That is quite the task you are burdening yourself with.''

''Its the right thing to do. I can't stand by and allow my actions to harm innocent people.''

For a brief moment Miya froze. Those words, it reminded her of when Takehito said something just like that once. A smile graced her face. ''Uzumaki-san, you have noble goals. If you wish, your room has yet to be rented out.''

''I'm sorry Amane-sama, but I can't live with that particular rule that you've placed forth. As far as I know most Landlord or Ladies don't have the power to interfere in people's intimate matters. Such matters are not illegal, especially against consenting adults. So unless you can treat me like an adult and peer I'm afraid I'm going to have decline your offer.''

''Are you that willing to subject your Sekirei to the streets to satisfy your own urges?'' that was the wrong thing to say as a snarl escaped Naruto's lips.

''Don't you dare ever question my feelings for those I considered precious.'' Miya was slightly startled. Never had she ever sense such a coldness from a man. ''I care for those girls and how I care for them is my business. As long as I'm not hurting them in any matter why question the nature of our relationship?''
