Pfft...long story! 6,366 words! I seriously worked all week on this.
Not that I'm done with my other stories, but I wanted to do an other type of story.

So, here it is!

Oh and there at the end there is an emotional scene between Touma and a character.
While you read that part, listen to "Try" By 'Drunkenschokomuffin' on youtube.
It really fits. Anyway, Enjoy!

Ch. 01

A girl with long, purple hair, that stopped midway her back, stood silently in the bus. She was wearing blue pants ,a yellow t-shirt and a grey hoodie. Her eyes were red with dark circles under them. She looked around suspicious, like she was being followed. The bus stopped at the next stop. People stepped in and out. The girl stepped out too. She quickly walked throughout the crowd, almost running. She went into a clothing store. The girl hid behind a mannequin. The cashier was about to say something when a man walked into the store. He said something to the cashier. The girl saw this as a change and ran as fast as she could out of the door. The man cursed and ran out too. He stopped when he didn't see her anymore. But the girl was hiding in a small alleyway.

"Touma!"

Index was sitting in the cafe with Touma Kamijou (Kamijou Touma). He was busy with his homework and wasn't paying attention.

"TOUMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..." Said Index again.

Touma sighed and put his pen down. "Index-san?"

"Hm?"

"I'm busy with my homework." His eyebrow twitched. "And..and...YOU HAVE A BURGER IN FRONT OF YOU! THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU"RE HUNGRY!"

"Touma!"

"What?!"

"I want to talk!" Said Index. "Plus, we all know that you will get an F!"

Touma almost fell down. He barely stood up. "I don't get an F!"

"Sure." Index grabbed her soda and took a big sip. She sighed as Touma went back to his homework. She looked out of the window. Index thought about everything that had happened. So much had changed since she first came to Academy city. She met Touma, made her first friend...Index smiled at the thought. She'd never thought back then that she would be sitting here today.

Suddenly Index her eyes noticed a suspicious girl. She was wearing a hoodie, so Index couldn't see her face. Yet she got a strange feeling from that person...

"Alright!" Touma put down his pen. "All done! What do you want to do Index?"

"Huh?"

Touma looked worried. "Is something the matter, Index?"

"Huh? No!" Index jumped up, back to her happy self. "I want to go to the mall!"

"Why?"

"There is a food festival!"

Touma grinned and sighed. "I should have known!"

"Come on!" Index dragged him by the arm. "Let's go!"

Touma sighed as he was being dragged to the mall.

There was indeed a food festival. Various restaurants had set up tables with different food supplements. Index was looking everywhere, drooling over every little thing.

"Just take something." Said Touma. "It's on me."

"Oh Touma! Can I get a crepe?"

Touma grabbed one and Index was the most happy girl ever. "It's free, Index." She took a big bite out of it.

Touma sighed. At least he didn't need to pay for it.

All of a sudden a girl bumped into him.

"Gomenasai!" Yelled the girl.

Touma turned around. "No, no, it's my fault..."

He stared at the girl. She was probably 15 years old...and she had purple hair. But her eyes shook him off. They were red from color...

"Well, have you seen a man with red hair and a long black coat? He smokes a lot..."

"Stiyl..." Muttered Touma.

"There she is!" They heard a voice behind them.

Stiyl ran towards them. The girl took her hoodie off and sighed. She held her hand out. A energy ball formed in her hand. People started to scream and ran away when they saw her use powers.

The girl yelled and threw the energy at Stiyl. Stiyl dissolved it with fire. He threw fire at her, but the girl made a move with her hand. The fire turned around now towards Stiyl. Stiyl quickly moved out of the way. The fire hit a food stand, which exploded.

Index shielded behind Touma.

"What is going on?!" Yelled Touma.

"Let me introduce myself." Said the girl. "My name is Hana. As you can see, I'm an esper."

"Not just an esper." Stiyl walked towards them. "This girl has the ability to use the power of another esper against them."

"Stiyl, why are you after her?" Asked Index.

"Because she is dangerous and for some reason runaway from home. And who know what people will do when they find out about her ability."

"I did not runaway!" Yelled Hana. "I went here to find an old friend of mine!"

"Who?" Said Touma.

"Hold it!" Yelled a voice.

They all turned around.

"I'm with Judgement!"

Kuroko ran towards them.

"You have disturbed the food festival...Wait, you!" She pointed at Touma.

"Shirai-san, wait!" Yelled Touma. "You don't understand! She doesn't mean you harm! She is looking for someone!"

"Sorry, but I can't let her off that easy." Said Kuroko.

Kuroko teleported close to Hana. She grabbed her darts and was about to pin her to the ground. Hana suddenly teleported out of her way and appeared a few meters later.

"She can also learn the opponents technique." Said Stiyl.

Kuroko sighed and put her hand against her head. "So...she is your friend?"

"Yes!" Said Index. Hana looked confusedly at her.

"And she is looking for someone here in academy city?"

Touma nodded. "Yes, we don't know who though. Or why..."

"Then judgment will help with the search!" Kuroko said determent. "If you can give us a description..."

"Alright, the person I'm looking for is a girl. She has short brown hair, a Tokiwadai uni-"

"Let me guess, biri-biri?" Said Touma, while looking miserable.

"He means Mikoto Misaka." Said Kuroko. "The electric princess of Tokiwadai, one of the 7 level 5's, our beautiful oneesama!"

Hana nodded wildly. "Yes! Mikoto! I need to see her, please!" The girl paused for a moment. "...she...she...she is a childhood friend of mine..."

"HUH?!" Yelled everyone in unison. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"

5 years ago, Academy city.

"Hana, don't you want to play outside?"

Hana's mother, a mother of two without a husband, looked worried at her daughter. She had just moved to academy city. Her daughter was a level 1 and her son a level 2. She had heard that you could increase your power in this city, so they moved for her children.

"I don't have any friends here." Said 10 year old Hana. She was sitting on a moving box, kicking her legs up and down.

"Well, if you go outside, you can make new friends."

"I don't wanna."

Hanna frowned. Her son already made some friends, but her daughter...she picked her up and set her out of the door. "And NOW you stay outside!"
Her mother locked the door behind her.

"Stupid mama." Hanna wiped the mutt of her skirt.

She walked into the city. Her mother had always told her not to wander to far off. Hanna saw a nice park and walked towards it.

The park was nice and calming. Old people were sitting on a bench, children were playing games, people were jogging...

She saw a few espers testing their powers. One girl with green hair held out her hand, close to the river. A few water bubbles came out of the ground.

"Woah!" Hanna yelled. "That is awesome."

"Huh?" the group, two men and a girl, turned around to see her standing.

"C-can I join?" Asked Hanna. "I myself am a level 1! I can join you-"

The girl suddenly laughed.

"You!" Said one of the men, one with blue hair. "You're just a level 1! And a kid! Bwahaha!"

"Scram, powerless."

Hana clenched her fists. "I am not weak!"

"What did I just say?" The man took a step towards her.

Hana her legs were trembling. Why did she always get herself into trouble?

"Hey!"

They all turned around to see a 9 year old girl. She had short brown hair until her shoulders. She was wearing a blue summer dress.

"Leave her alone!"

The group stared at each other for a second. They then laugh out loud. "Hahahahaha! What are you saying short hair!

"I told you to leave her alone!"

A little electricity went from the girl's hand to a lamp. The lamp cracked. The three people were now looking shocked at her.

"I'm a level 3! And you guys are what? Two's?"

"We are with 3 people!" Yelled the girl from the group. "You are just alone! Just a scared little girl, like this wimp!" She grabbed Hana by her hair roughly.

Hana her head was hurting. She was not used to being grabbed so roughly. Her eyes filled with tears. Why...why...such misfortune...

Suddenly the older girl released her head. Hana fell down onto her knees. She looked up to see the other girl reaching out with her hand.

"Here, can you stand?"

The group was arrested by Judgement.

Hana rubbed into her eyes and grabbed the girls hand, standing on her weak legs.

"I'm Mikoto Misaka. But you can call me Mikoto."

"Uwaah, that is so like oneesama!" Said Kuroko. "And then?"

"Well, we quickly became friends." Said Hana.

The year flew by. Hana was now 11 and Mikoto 10. They were the bests of friends.

One day they were playing at the playground.

"Mikoto,Mikoto!" Yelled Hana. "Look, Look!"

She was holding a little white cat in her arms. Mikoto ran towards it. "How cute!"

Mikoto petted the little guy on his head.

"Wait, the cat liked her?!" Yelled Index and Touma. They walked into the dormitory of Tokiwadai.

"Yes, now just let me continue!"

"What should we call him?" Asked Hana.

"Uhm...maybe a combination of our names...Hankoto." Said Mikoto.

Hana laughed and rolled over. Mikoto pouted. "HMMMPPPFFFFFHHHH!"

"What about...Tomoni?" (Means Together in Japanese)

"Or dog..."

"No!" Yelled Hana. "That doesn't make sense!"

"Fine, Tomoni it is." Mikoto kicked the sand up with her feet. "You know...I dream of getting into Tokiwadai."

"The school for super rich girls?"

"Yup! But now I'm just a level 4...they once didn't let a girl because she wasn't good enough...and she was rich!"

"That is big! You will get in!" Said Hana. "I'm just a three. You're the railgun, for pete's sake!"

"So? Look, let's both try for that school!" Said Mikoto. "If we both get in...we'll be the ultimate duo!"

"Ultimate duo?"

"Yes, the railgun and the manipulator!"

"Manipulator?"

"That's my new name for your new power!"

Hana stretched out her hand and looked at it. She never knew how to call her power. She always had told herself that her power was wrong, since she could use other people powers against themselves. But her friend told her otherwise. Her power wasn't bad. It was good.

"Wait." Said Touma before they walked any further. "Shouldn't we ask for permission?"

"No." Said Kuroko. "Today is our school open for visitors, so you are in luck. But anyway, Hana, how come that Oneesama never mentioned you?"

"Well..."

Mikoto ran to Hana's house. Today she was gonna play again and-

She stopped in her tracks when she saw a moving truck at their houses. What...where they moving? But Hana...

Hana walked towards her. "Mikoto!"

Mikoto looked shocked. "Hana? What...why..."

"I was about to tell you, but my mother suddenly told me yesterday! I never meant to hurt you!"

"W-why are you moving...?"

"My mom got another job and she told it was for my own safety..." But before Hana could continue, Mikoto started to sob. Hana pulled her in for a hug. "Don't worry, I will visit..."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"But I was forbidden from ever visiting again. Until a few days ago...I revealed my powers in public, so bad people were after me."

Touma glanced at Stiyl.

"I was told to bring her back and protect her from the bad people." He said.

"You could have told me instead of chasing me!" Yelled Hana.

They were just in the library.

"Oneesama!" Yelled Kuroko.

A certain railgun looked up from her book. She frowned and suddenly dashed towards them. In a second she knocked Hana to the ground. She was lying on top of Hana and burying her head in her c-cup.

Everyone looked shocked at her, including kuroko. "O-oneesama?!"

"Hana! You jerk! What the hell are you doing here?!" Yelled Misaka.

"I got a lot to explain, huh?"

They stood up again and Mikoto looked confused at Touma, Index and Stiyl. Especially Stiyl.

"Who is this weird man? And why are those two here?"

"This is Stiyl..." Touma hesitated. "He is...a magician..."

"I am a fire mage." Said Stiyl. "You must be Misaka Mikoto. The railgun...nice to meet you."

"And we are here because we've met Hana." Said Touma.

"She bumped into Touma!" Said Index. "It's been ages since he caught a girl."

Touma almost hit Index on her head. He somehow knew that Misaka didn't like that...and he was right.

A little spark came from Misaka's head. Touma held his hand for his head, preparing himself for the blast. But Misaka's stopped and stiffened up. The dorm supervisor was right behind her. Her eyes pierced dangerously.

"Miss Misaka. What do you think you're doing?!"

"Aahhh..." Both Kuroko and Mikoto trembled.

"I suggest you think before you act. Or I might have to punish you two by cleaning the bathroom!"

"We're so sorry!" They both bowed quickly.

The dorm supervisor nodded. "Don't cause any problems on this day. A lot of girls are interested in enrolling here. Especially since the pride of Tokiwadai is here. Just set a proper example."

"Yes, ma'am."

The supervisor send them one last glare, before walking away to a group of visitors. Mikoto turned her attention back to the others.

"But Hana, maybe we can discuss this at my room..."

"Alright, let's go." Said Hana and Touma.

"W-wait!" Yelled Kuroko. "I don't think the magician can go into our room!"

"I will wait outside." Stiyl already walked away.

Kuroko eyed Touma and Index. "And I don't think that mister Kamijou Touma and Index can be in there."

Touma and Index sighed. "We'll wait outside the dorm with Stiyl then."

"Kuroko, you wait outside too."

Kuroko was about to protest, but Mikoto told her that she just wanted to talk with Hana alone. The two had some catching up to do.

Kuroko sighed, but understood and left.

A mysterious boy walked with three guards through academy city. People were looking at them. They all looked interested, but afraid as well. A little kid was hiding by it's mother.

"Where could she have gone?" Said the boy in an accent.

The guards shook their heads.

"My sister."

"So, you really made some good friends here." Said Hana as they sat down on her bed.

"Yes, they are pretty cool...except that "idiot". I swear one day I'll win from him!"

"Hm?"

"Anyway, why are you back?"

"I need you help." Said Hana.

"Huh?"

"I came back since you are my only real friend. Look, you know about the sister experiment? Right? You've taken part in it."

"Yes. How-"

"My ability is not just using other people's powers against them. I can also enter any computer, learn it codes and find out everything the system holds."

"Manipulator..." Mumbled Mikoto.

"Yes, that's what everyone calls my ability now...but it's also why people are after me, Mikoto. They want to keep me in England forever."

"Wait, you moved to England? How.."

"I boarded a plane to Tokyo and ended up here by bus. Little did I know they had contacted the church and send Stiyl after me. My family wants to keep me safe, but I just suspect they want me to become a level 6 and marry a rich guy to keep our family name up!"

"Family name?"

"Why do you think we could move to England? It's really far from Japan."

"Aha...but why do you need my help?"

"You are a level 5 too, right?"

"Wait." Said Mikoto. "You became a level 5? Congratulations!"

"Yeah, I really worked hard. But I came to you for protection. You are the only person I can trust. And the only one who can protect me against bad people."

"Hm." Mikoto stood up. "You know, I can't protect you forever-"

"I know!" Said Hana. "I just want them to stop chasing me..." She started to sob. "And...and...I thought that you were my..."

"Okay, okay, I'll do it!" Said Mikoto. She always got a weak heart for crying girls. Kuroko always used to cry whenever she didn't want to help her juniors. And Hana knew that was her weakness too.

So they went outside to see the others waiting for them.

"And?" Said Kuroko.

"Mikoto will protect me." Said Hana. "Until the bad people will stop chasing me."

"We will too, right Index?" Index nodded at Touma.

"I guess I can too." Muttered Stiyl. "But you'll have to go back home someday. Even when your family wants you to become level 6."

Level 6...Thought Touma. First Accelerator...then biribiri...and now Hana? When would people try and stop to make a level 6? It's was impossible! There is no way that anyone can become a six. Even the strongest stayed level 5!

"Hana, do you want to come along?" Asked Mikoto after Kuroko requested it was lunch time. "We can grab some crepes!"

"Foooood..." Hana almost drooled. She had been traveling without even eating.

Touma grinned. "It looks like you are really hungry."

"A-alright...let's go!" Said Hana. "But I don't want..." She looked, but Stiyl was suddenly gone.

"Where did he go?" Said Touma.

Kuroko looked suspicious. She didn't trust that so called magician. Magicians didn't exist right?

"Hey, where did short hair go?" Asked Index. "And Hana-chan?"

Kuroko looked around. Wait, she was gone! Where did those two went to?! Without a word she gave Touma a glare and then teleported away. Touma scratched his head. He felt Index tugging on his arm and saying something, but he was just thinking about Stiyl. What was his role in all of this?

Hana and Mikoto sat down in the park, eating their crepes, on a bench.

"Did you actually made any friends in England?" Asked Mikoto.

Hana swallowed, before speaking up. "Not really. Most girls thought that I was weird. After a while I just got home schooled."

"Aha." Said Mikoto. She took another big bite from her crepe. There were a few seconds of silence before she could speak up. "So...I also got a few more friends. They are not level 5's or fours, just normal girls. When we have the time we should meet them."

"Yes!" Said Hana. "And maybe I should hang out with Index and your boyfriend too!"

"Uh..." Mikoto blushed. "B-boyfriend...?"

"Yes...isn't he?"

"No, no, no, no!" Mikoto shook her head. "He is just...some idiot! He has the ability imagine breaker and my bolt don't affect him! I swear, he never takes fighting seriously! I always wanted to fight him, b-but I can't when he's always surrounded by girls or just running away!

"Oh-hoho..." Hana grinned, teasing her. "Looks like you really care!"

"No way!"

"Touma and Mikoto sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N..."

"Don't be so stupid!" Mikoto gave her a nookie on her head.

"Owowowowowow!" Yelled Hana. "Don't hurt me, Miko-chan! I was just joking! You are a really short tempered!"

"What was that?!"

Mikoto rubbed even harder.

"Nothing, Nothing!"

Mikoto quickly let go. Hana rubbed her hands over head. "Ow, you're so mean!"

"I'm not short tempered!"

"You are-"

"Am not!"

Their argument was cut short when the ground started to shake. The park was empty, all the visitors were suddenly gone. Stones formed out of the ground, into some kind of golem. The creature grabbed Hana up. Hana screamed loudly.

"Hana!" Yelled Mikoto.

She jumped out of the way, when the golem was about to crush her with his other arm.

She had to save her!

Mikoto grabbed a coin from her pocket. She could railgun the arm! She threw the railgun up and fired a big beam at the monster. The arm came of
and Hana fell down. Kuroko appeared and saw it happen. She teleported to Hana, grabbed and teleported back to the ground.

But stones flew towards Mikoto. Mikoto swept them away with her electric shocks. She then ran towards the monster. The beats roared and threw his arms onto the ground. Mikoto was expecting this. She jumped onto the arm. She ran all the way to his head. Mikoto then put her hand against the head, releasing a giant electric explosion. The beast his head exploded and the rocks crumbled.
Mikoto carefully landed down with help from her electric powers. The monster had crumbled, but all of a sudden she heard Kuroko yell.

"Oneesama, look out!"

Mikoto turned around to see a glimpse of a mysterious person. The person held his hand up and a giant water beam was fired towards Misaka.
She didn't have time to think and tried to hold the beam off with her electricity. But water conducts electricity.
Mikoto knew her mistake, but it would be too late. She would get really hurt...her electricity already made contact with the water...

All of a sudden she was grabbed by two strong arms. She was yanked away by someone. The beam exploded, but Mikoto was save in someone's arms.

"Mikoto!" It was Touma. He had just grabbed her in time and was now holding her tightly. "Dammit! Who could be attacking Hana!"

Kuroko's mouth hung open and Mikoto was blushing madly. He was still holding her. And did he just call her Mikoto? Index was also shocked.

"Tou-..." Mikoto quickly pushed him away. She couldn't say his name. "Get away from m-me, you..."

"Oh sorry, Misaka!" Said Touma. "I was not paying attention to you, but I just got here in time..."

"You call that not paying attention?!" Mikoto threw an electric spark at him. Touma blocked it with his right hand.

"How dense is he?" Whispered Hana.

Index and Kuroko both sighed. "Very."

"You w-were g-grabbing m-me!" Yelled Mikoto, all bushing madly. "How were you not paying attention?!"

"Why are you mad? I saved your life! You could have-"

"Whahahaa!"

A cocky laugh got everyone's attention. A guy with dark purple stood there. He was laughing his sides off. Hana pouted at him.

"Brother..."

"Brother?" Said Touma. "Wha-"

"That there is her brother, Akio." Said Mikoto. "I've only seen him once."

"Ah, you heard about me, huh?" The guy had a white t-shirt, blue pants and a dark jacket on. He had just sparkling blue eyes. He walked towards Mikoto. Mikoto blushed and gulped. The guy was handsome after all.

"Then you must be, Mikoto Misaka. The famous Railgun. You are certainly beautiful." He bowed down. He grabbed her hand and planted a kiss on it.

"Ah! What a gentleman!" Yelled Kuroko.

Mikoto blushed madly. "I...uh..." She shook her head. This person had just attacked her! "Why were you attacking us?"

"I was just protecting Hana, my little sister."

"Protecting?!" Said Hana. "If you call hunting after me protecting!"

"We just want you to come home." Said Akio calmly. He nodded towards his guards. "But how about we talk this over some tea in our summer mansion?"

"Summer mansion?" Said Touma.

"Yes." Said Akio. "We have summer mansion here in Academy city. It's really beautiful."

Hana shook her head. "I'm not going with you, brother."

"But-"

"There is no way in hell that I'm going with you. You must be crazy to even think that I would go with you, even for a second. For goodness sake, I'm not going to the-"

"-Mansion with you..."

Hana could hit herself for her head. Her brother always knew how to get her over. She looked over at Touma who was talking with Index. Mikoto was busy talking with Kuroko. They were sitting in the beautiful garden, drinking tea.

"Mum is really worried." Akio put his cup down, turning his attention to her.

Everyone was now looking at the siblings.

"You know that I can't become a level 6. And I'm not marrying."

"The level 6-thing I can understand. But you will be marrying someone. Look, I know how hard it must be for you-"

Hana slammed her cup of tea down. "You don't know anything!"

She stood up with tears in her eyes. Hana ran away back into the mansion.

"Hana!" Yelled Touma. He jumped up and ran after her. Mikoto and Index also stood up, they also ran after her. Kuroko stood up.

"I should go after her." She said quickly. Without another word she ran inside. She didn't trust Akio's intentions. Plus, why was he so interested in Oneesama?
Was it because she was friends with Hana? Was he trying to win her over?

Hana ran into an empty hallway. She put her back against the wall and started to sob.

"Hana!" Touma and Index ran towards her. "Are you okay?"

Hana wiped her tears away. "I'm so sorry, Touma...I'm just an idiot."

Touma sighed and he and Index smiled.

"You're not." Said Touma. "You just needed a friend. That's why you came back to Academy City. And you found her. You're everything but an idiot.
And we'll protect you."

"Yeah!" Index threw her fist in the air. "We are friends too!"

"F-friends?"

Touma and Index nodded happily.

Meanwhile Mikoto was running through the big mansion. Where could Hana have gone? She ended up in a big empty room.

Why is this mansion so big?! Thought Mikoto exhausted from running.

"I see that you have found the ballroom."

She turned around to see Akio.

"Akio!" She yelled. "I was just looking for Hana!"

"Hana is fine." Said Akio. "She is being cared for by Touma Kamijou."

"Aha. Then I should-"

"Tell me, Mikoto Misaka." Akio walked closer to her. "Why do you suddenly care for Hana?"

"Because I promised to stay her friend forever."

"And what about Mister Kamijou?"

"I..."

"You can't be honest with yourself." Akio grabbed her hand. "Let us dance."

Violin music suddenly started to play. He started to dance with Mikoto.

Mikoto looked away blushing. When she looked up she saw Akio smiling at her.

Whoa...he is really stunning.

"I'm so sorry about hurting you, miss Misaka. I thought that you people wanted to hurt Hana."

"You can just call me Mikoto."

"Alright, milady."

"And..." Said Mikoto. "I was just protecting Hana. I would never hurt her."

"That's good..."

They followed each other moves. Mikoto knew how dance, she had dance lessons at school. Akio also knew his to dance very well. He was a real gentleman.
He spun her around a few times, it's seemed like an eternity since he spoke up.

"You know that Hana has to marry someone."

"Yes, but I'm not letting that happen." Said Mikoto.

Akio smiled at her. "You are a real friend for her. Did you know that if I marry, she won't have to marry someone?"

Mikoto blushed and looked away nervously. Was he...? They stopped dancing. Akio still held her hand and waist and leaned in closer to her ear. The muss had already stopped.

"You are really beautiful, Mikoto."

She quickly pushed him away. "I..."

"Think about it. We were made for each other."

"Oneesama!"

Kuroko teleported into the room. She glared at Akio, before grabbing Mikoto by her arm.

"Everyone is already home. We should go too, it's getting late!"

"What about Hana?" Asked Mikoto.

"She is staying with Index and Touma." Said Akio.

Kuroko looked angrily at him. "She did not ask you. Now, we must go at once!"

"Kuro-"

Before Mikoto could finish they teleported away.

Akio was left alone. Two of his bodyguards ran towards him.

"Master, are you alright?"

Akio started to laugh loudly. "Yes, I am! Oh, everything is going to plan!"

That night everyone was laying in their beds. Touma was laying in his. Index and Hana shared a bed. They were both sound asleep.
Touma sighed and looked at the ceiling. He could not fall asleep.

Somehow, he really didn't trust Akio. The guy seemed to be faking his whole nice act.

Plus he was way too interested in biribiri! Touma didn't want a guy like that to be interested in her! Not that he cared...okay, he did care, she was his friend!
But...he groaned and turned around.

He looked at Hana and Index sleeping faces. He had promised himself that he would protect Hana. The girl was innocent in everything.
She was misunderstood. And her family only wanted her back to marry someone.

He was really lucky with his family...

The next morning Tokiwadai's middle school was awake and up. The young girls were all woken up and just dressed. Suddenly they all heard a helicopter from above. The girls all started to chatter and ran out of their rooms. But the dorm supervisor stopped them.

"Ladies, calm down! We are expecting a special guest!"

"Special guest?" Muttered Kuroko.

"You can all go down to the dining room. Breakfast is already served. Our guest will arrive shortly."

The girls all went down to the big dining room. Everyone sat down and started to eat.

Mikoto played with her food.

Did you know that if I marry, she won't have to marry someone?

She shook her head. He was so, so...she would never marry! Plus, she was too young! And her heart didn't belong to him!

"Girls!" The director of the school walked in. She was an older woman with brown/gray hair in a bun. She had glasses on. Her name was Miss Mitsuki.
Everyone stood up. She told a few girls to stand up straight. She then stopped in her tracks.

"May I present to you...a student from England...Mister Akio Fujimoto!"

The well known blue haired boy walked in. All the girls started to gasp and chatter.

"Oh! Look!" Said a girl next to Kuroko. "He is coming our way!"

"Oneesama, be on your guard." Said Kuroko.

"I am."

The boy walked toward them. He stood still in front of Mikoto.

He grabbed her by the hand and pulled her into the middle. Everyone went quiet.

"Can I have your attention?" He went down onto one knee. "Will you be engaged to me, Mikoto Misaka?"

"OOOOOOOH!" Yelled Everyone.

"I...uh..."

The director walked towards them. "She is a bit young to get married, Mister-"

"I do!" Blurted Mikoto.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeh?!" Yelled Kuroko.

Akio stood up. "Right. We have a lot to discuss, Miss Mikoto. A lot."

Hana, Index and Touma were walking to Tokiwadai.

"I'm really excited to see her again!" Said Hana. "Especially after that bad encounter with my brother yesterday."

"Well, we are glad that you are doing better." Said Touma.

"Right!" Said Index. "We were really worried about you, Hana-chan!"

Hana blushed. "You shouldn't be so worried, Index! I'm fine, really!"

"Really?"

"Really."

"Ah, Hana, you're so cute!" Index wrapped her arms around Hana.

Hana yelped. "Huh, Index!"

"I want you to stay here forever!" Yelled Index. "Forever and ever!"

Touma turned around. "You two could live together somewhere, then I wouldn't have too much company, haha!"

"Touma..." Said Index dangerously.

"What is it..." Touma saw how her eyebrows twitched. "I...Index?"

"Touma. Do you hate our company that much?!"

"No, Index-san, you're- AAAAH!"

Index set her teeth in his head. Hana held her hands up, trying to stop them. Touma ran in rounds, trying to shake Index of.

After a few more hours they finally got to Tokiwadai. Touma had teeth marks all over his body. Index had bit him so many times that he had almost lost conscious from the headache. And the worst was that Index was still angry at him.

They walked in. The dorm supervisor walked immediately towards them.

"What are you three doing here?"

"We are here to see Mikoto." Said Hana. "Do you know where she is?"

"She is-"

At that moment Mikoto walked down the stairs with Akio and Kuroko by her side.

Shana smiled wildly when she saw Mikoto. But her smile faded when she saw Mikoto's troubled face. Kuroko looked also pretty unhappy.
Akio looked without giving away any emotion. They walked right towards them.

"Mikoto!" Said Hana. "Why is my brother here?"

Mikoto walked past them with Akio. Hana grabbed her by her arm. "Mi-"

"Will you shut up?! How can you smile all the time!" Yelled Mikoto. "You don't understand anything in this world! You thought that after five years I would still want be friends with YOU?! HOW CAN YOU BE SO DENSE ALL THE TIME!"

She hit her arm away and ran out.

Hana started to sob. "Mikoto?"

"Oneesama!" Yelled Kuroko. "I'm going after-"

"You stay here, Shirai-san!" Touma put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm going after her to find out what happened! You stay here with Hana and Index!"

Without any arguing Touma ran out. He looked around. Where could she have gone? Probably not too far! He ran towards the park. Maybe she was there!
He was right. There she was, sitting on a bench. He ran for her and sat next to her.

"Misaka!" Said Touma.

"Uh?" Mikoto looked down, not daring to face him.

"What was that? Why would you fall out against Hana like that? She is your friend!"

"I'm getting engaged."

"What?!"

"Akio..." Said Mikoto. She looked up at him. "He proposed to me and I said yes. This way Hana doesn't need to get married."

Touma clenched his fist. That Akio really knew how to destroy his friends...he had to learn him a lesson.

"I'm going back to him." Mikoto stood up.

Touma stood up too. He put his arm out, holding her back.

"This isn't the same as the sister incident." A little sparks came from her head.

"This is exactly like it. You're sacrificing yourself again for someone you care about. Even when this time it isn't ten thousands, you keep sacrificing!"
Mikoto her eyes widened up. Touma started to yell. People stopped and stared at them.
"When will you stop?! You don't have to try so hard! You don't have to safe someone like this! This is not what you want! This is something you think that you can solve by sacrifice! But you are just hurting your friends!"

Mikoto closed her eyes and send a big spark his way. Touma was hit and fell down to the side. She was about to walk away from him, but Touma grabbed her by her ankle. Mikoto fell down. She sat up on her knees. Touma wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly.

"Mikoto, please...stop."

Her heart was skipping a few beats. "T-Touma..."

Touma held her even closer. She had said his name! She almost never did!

"I...I have too...sorry..." Whispered Mikoto. She knew how it hurt everyone, but she couldn't...

"Then maybe this will change your mind."

Touma leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Mikoto her mind went numb. It was a quick but sweet kiss. Touma quickly pulled away, blushing.

"N-now you can't marry him! I...I kissed you...f-first!" Stuttered Touma. "Ha!"

Mikoto blushed madly. She let out a little 'hm', put her hand against her lips and looked away.

Oh no, she didn't like it! Thought Touma. What did I do?! I ruined a perfectly good friendship!

"Misaka." Said Touma. "You..."

"C-can we do t-that again?" Whispered Mikoto. "I'd like it."

Touma almost got a nose bleed when she turned to look at him. It was adorable how she looked at him with red cheeks and dreamy eyes.

Touma put his hand under her chin. He moved closer and kissed her again. This time Mikoto kissed back.
They both really didn't knew what to do, so kept their mouths closed and just put their lips against each other.

At that moment Kuroko teleported into the park with Index.

"Whaaaaat?!" They both yelled in unison.

Mikoto quickly pushed him away. "G-guys, this is not-"

Kuroko shook her head. "Oneesama, we have bigger things to worry about! Akio took Hana!"

"W-wait, what!" Yelled Mikoto. "He told me that-"

"He lied." Said Kuroko. "We all went outside, that's when we got knocked out. When we woke up, Hana was gone!"

"She was gone?!" Yelled Touma. "We need to find her!"

"How?!" Mikoto stood up. "She is probably not in the mansion..."

"Maybe she got home." Said Index.

"We should call her home first. Then we should contact Stiyl and find out were she could be. He can help us." Said Touma.

Everyone agreed.

Kuroko grabbed Mikoto by her arm.

"And Oneesama, we need to have a talk soon!"

Mikoto blushed. This had been her first kiss and the worst was that both their closest friends had seen it.
Touma was red too. He was probably thinking about the kiss as well.

But for now finding Hana was their priority.

After all she was their friend.
