The Snow Ashikabi

Winds of change

Ding!

The sound of the elevator precedes the doors sliding open. One by one my Sekirei walk out of the elevator, but I just stand in the small room with conflicted emotions. Part of me wanting to come out and see my new home, and the other part said not to because I had gotten it so easily. I was-

"Saya, are you okay?"  Matsu's voice comes, arousing me from my thoughts. 

I look up to see all three of them standing just outside the door, staring back at me with a worried look on their faces. 

"Yes, I'm fine," I reply, stepping out of the elevator.

The room I step into is a large living area with a 3-piece violet-colored sectional big enough to comfortably sit 8 people. On the wall is a big 2-meter wall-mounted television, too big for my taste but maybe the girls will like it. On either side of the TV are two sets of windowed double doors, which lead out to a large balcony overlooking the city.

The walls are a nice bright  amethyst color, and the carpeting was royal purple. It compliments the sofa perfectly, but overall the room is very… purple. Minaka's resourcefulness always surprised me; he somehow knew my favorite color.

The purple theme continues into the kitchen which was only separated from the living room by a large island countertop. The tiling on the wall and floor of the kitchen are a black and purple checkered pattern. The wood of the cabinets is stained black as well. The countertops are dark colored granite. On either side of the countertops are two large archways, which lead to a grand dining room. I like the color purple but even I think all this purple is a bit excessive. Although the purple and black did go together quite nicely.

The walls and carpet of the dining room match that of the living room. In the center of the room is a table with enough chairs to easily fit 10 people. There's even a china cabinet, filled with what looks like antique pieces so priceless I'd never dare use them. 

Behind the elevator is a large room with bookshelves that go from floor to ceiling. Each shelf is packed to the brim with books. 

"Wow, look at all the books! I've never seen so many books in my entire life," Haruhime says, running around the room with excitement.

Akitsu just looks around the room with her typical blank expression, as she slowly walks around from shelf to shelf. 

"With all of these books, I wonder if there's any erotica," Matsu comments. Her words scared me. She was already perverted enough; she didn't need any more perverted thoughts in her head. 

 In the center of the room is a few end tables next to a large violet-sectional just like the one from the living room.

Haruhime plops down onto the sectional. "Oh my god! This is so comfy."

 I'm not much of a reader, but it might be good to start, considering I have a lot more free time on my hands now. "Come on, girls, we still have more to explore." 

Haruhime springs from the chair, quickly following me and her sisters out of the room. We walk out of the library and back to the living room.

On the opposite end of the living room is a doorway which led to what appeared to be a bedroom, but not to just any bedroom. The walls seem to be the same color as Matsu's hair and eyes. On the left wall was what you would expect in a standard bedroom: a bed, a dresser, a nightstand, but it was the right side that caught my eye. The entirety of the right wall was filled with computer monitors.

"I guess it's obvious who this room is for, huh, Matsu?"

"Very, Saya, but I'm not using computers that Minaka gave me. I don't trust him and bugging them would be easy for someone as smart as he is."
