Hey, everyone! Today I start a new set of chapters concerning Heaven's Lost Property/Sora no Otoshimono. These are all about Tomoko. Yes, Tomoko. Due to the fact that I hated that the series ended with Tomoko still being trapped inside of Tomoki, I have taken it upon myself to give the series a continuation concerning her. She is my favorite character in the series and she was thrown away after chapter 43 of the manga. It is not fair to her that she wasn't given more of a roll after initially being separated, and even more unfair that she was tricked into merging with Tomoki. Tomoko herself is a sweet, timid girl when she is separated from Tomoki. Once separated, she is an individual character. One thing people need to realize is that Tomoko is NOT Tomoki. Today, you'll get to read what really happened to Tomoko after the series ended. (Also, this is my first fanfiction ever, so if that shows, I apologize)

CHAPTER 1 - Official Division

My name is Tomoko. Recently, I was given life as an individual...again... However, this time, things are much better. This, is the story of how I got my freedom...

It was around 3:00 A.M., and Tomoki was fawning over girls in his magazines as usual. His bedroom was the only lit room in his house, or in his neighborhood for that matter.

"Oh, man, if I could get my hands on girls like these, I'd be set for life!", Tomoki said with drool seeping out of his gaping mouth. "Ehehehehe..."

Then, Tomoki heard an aggressive knocking on his front door.

"Huh? It's...three in the morning! Why is someone here?", said Tomoki in an obvious tone of annoyance. "Whatever...as long as I don't answer, they'll go away."

BAM Tomoki's bedroom door was knocked down with a single hit. The door just barely missed his body.

"What the he-", was all he could say before seeing Sohara, angry as ever, standing before him.

"S-Sohara?! How did you get in my hou-", he said before Ikaros interrupted him.

"I let her in, Master. She requested to know why your bedroom light was on at such a late hour. I told her you were enjoying one of your magazines. She then proceeded to your room."

"Tomo... I, have been trying to sleep...for hours... You're damn light, has been in my eyes, all night long... I thought you might have just been doing your summer project for school... BUT INSTEAD YOU'RE READING ONE OF THOSE DAMN THINGS!", she screamed at him. "Ikaros...may I borrow one of your cards?", she continued.

"Yes.", Ikaros agreed.

"J-just what are you doing with that?", Tomoki asked Sohara.

"Oh, I'm just going to make sure I hit you as hard as possible...YOU DAMN PERVERT!"

She missed his head my a mere inch. Her hand continued down...further...until, just as before, she chopped off a... mushroom, attatched to his body. The card began to glow even more, until a puff of smoke appeared instantly and swallowed Tomoki. Sohara coughed, and in front of her, just like before, was a shrunken Tomoki. Of course, that wasn't all that was in front of her... I was also there, lying on the ground.

"No...not again!", screamed Tomoki.

"W-where...I'm...again?", was all I could say in my fearful confusion.

Sohara, Tomoki and Ikaros just stared at me. I didn't know what to do. Then, Tomoki walked closer to me.

"Uh, h-h-hey, Tomoko! I see you're still doing well! It's, uh, great to see you... But, how about we merge back together again!"

I looked at him for a few seconds. Just like before, I didn't want to go back, but the words just couldn't leave my mouth. My mind was full of complicated thoughts and emotions. They were all telling me to say, "No." However, the fear I had in me from the situation, just wouldn't let me speak. I then turned to Sohara and Ikaros. They were still staring at me in astonishment. However, Sohara's stare had the same typical awkward expression I was used to from the last time I was separated. After all, Tomoki really had ruined my reputation.

"I...I...I don't...", I attempted to speak.

"T-...Tomoko?", said Tomoki, seemingly puzzled.

My eyes began to water. I could feel tears beginning to form. It is no exaggeration for me to say that I didn't know what to do next.

"Tears are forming in Tomoko's eyes. It appears that she is feeling sad.", said Ikaors after examining me with great precision.

"Are you...alright?", asked Sohara, finally showing an expression of sympathy.

What was I supposed to tell her? It wasn't like I could say, "Yeah, I'm fine! I'll merge with Tomoki now!"

"I'm...alright...", I lied.

"Awesome! Then let's merge back! As long as you're merged with me, you'll be able to help me sneak in the girls changing room! You'll get to touch all the boobies you can imagine!" Tomoki said foolishly attempting to persuade me.

That did it...the tears finally began to fall down my cheeks. I tried so hard to conceal my cries.

"Something's...not right... Why do i feel like she...", Sohara thought to herself.

Sohara then spoke to me, seemingly understanding my sadness.

"Hey...Tomoko? ...Why don't you...come to my house for a little while...", Sohara invited me.

"What?! We need to merge now!", demanded Tomoki.

"...That can wait...", said Sohara angrily.

Sohara then hastily took my hand, and walked me towards his front door.

"Are you even listening to me?! I can't stay like this again! Tomoko, merge with me now! Hello?! Tomoko!?-", Tomoki continued to shout at me as I made my way down the stairs of his house.

"Just ignore him.", Sohara told me.

It was so dark. The only thing to be heard besides the cicadas were our footsteps on the grass. We made it to her house, and she welcomed me inside.

"My room is upstairs. Come on!", she said guiding me up her own stairs.

"I-", was all I could say before she interrupted me.

"I'll make us something to drink. Wait here, and make yourself at home! ", she said with a smile.

I sat on the floor and began to think...think about what may happen to me. Would I really be doomed to merge with Tomoki again? I couldn't think for long, because it seemed like mere seconds before she came back with tea for both of us.

"Here.", she said as she placed my tea on the table in front of us.

"Tomoko...I have a feeling...that you really don't want to merge with Tomoki. Is that... true?"

Finally, I began to speak an actual sentence.

"I...I don't want to ever...go back...", I told her while trying to hold back my emotions.

"You didn't seem this upset last time you were separated. What's... wrong?"

"I...the last time I got separated...it was my first time being free...being a person... I was never even asked how I felt... I never wanted to go back...", I told her.

"But...in the end, you did... You even began to join Tomoki in touching the other gir-", she said before I interrupted her.

"I know...I don't know what happened to me...It was like I was completely taken over... with... uncontrollable lust...", I said.

I just continued to stare at the floor the entire time.

"For some reason...when I felt Ikaros'...breasts...my body began to feel strange... It was like I wasn't even myself...AND I'M SO SCARED IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN!", I said fearfully.

"Tomoko..."

My efforts to hold in my emotions were futile, as tears fell when I spoke my next sentence.

"I don't...I don't want to be thought of as a boy...or a man...", I assured her.

"Why... do you think anybody would?", asked Sohara so kindly.

"That's what Tomoki told me I was... the last time...before I went crazy and touched all of my old...friends... m-my... friends... I miss them s-so much...", I said covering my face.

Sohara could finally see exactly what was going on. She could also tell just how upset I truly was. My eyes were shut, but the tears just couldn't be stopped.

"That damn pervert...", said Sohara angrily.

"What?", I asked.

"That must have hurt. It must still hurt. Being seen as no more than a tool for his perverted desires by everybody... and I never thought of how scared you must have felt when you separated last time... I'm so sorry I never-", she told me with a serious yet saddened expression, just before I cut her off.

"Please... don't apologize... I'm nothing more than... than a... I just feel like a monster... for what I did...", I admitted.

"You aren't a monster. It isn't your fault Tomoki used your appearance to be a pervert. And it certainly isn't your fault that you lost control the last time you were separated... Here, have some of your tea.", she said as she picked up my tea and handed it to me.

"Thank you..."

I then gasped after drinking for a few seconds.

"What is it?", asked Sohara. "Is something wrong?"

"...This...this is my first time having a drink...it feels... nice...", I told her.

Sohara's heart melted. She couldn't help but feel empathy and happy for me.

"Tomoko..."

"I-I'm sorry... that was pretty dumb of me to say."

Then, something happened that I didn't expect. She walked around the table, and hugged me tightly as I sat on the floor.

"It's okay... I swear...I won't let Tomoki merge with you... I'll do whatever it takes to ensure that you get to live..."

"You...will?", I asked her.

"Mhm. Just leave everything to me..."

"But I...what if I go berserk again? What if I-", I said still curious as to how she, or anyone for that matter, was feeling sorry for me.

"I'll help you. If that happens again, I'll do my best to calm you down!", she ensured me.

"You're...so nice... so...n-nice...you... really don't mind putting up with me if that happens?"

"Not at all...and I know this may sound sudden, but I'm so happy to have gotten to meet you officially like this! Like, when you were separated before, I only got to see you. Now, I can finally talk to you!"

"I'm actually...happy. I really am!", I told her.

Once again, she felt so warm inside seeing me happy and ready to live. Sohara stood up happily and asked me a question I'll never forget...

"Hey, why don't you spend the night with me? I'd love to hear more about you! And besides, what girl would wanna sleep at that guy's house?"

"W-...what did you say?", I asked her in disbelief to what I had just heard.

"Which part?", she asked.

"It just...feels really nice to be called a girl...", I admitted.

Sohara ended our embrace, and just smiled at me. The smile felt warm. Like, I actually felt cared about for the first time.

"Because that's what you are. You're Tomoko! You're you!- Oh, it looks like you drank all of your tea. *giggle* I'll go make you some more." she told me as she turned around to leave the room.

Hearing her tell me that she knew I was me... I just... It gave me so much happiness... I stood up, and began to walk towards her as she left the room... Then... I sprinted. I put my arms around her and gave her a hug as tight as the one she gave me. I couldn't help it. It was a natural response to being cared about.

After hugging her for a few seconds, she looked at me and said, "Hold on.", with a smile.

She walked to her window, opened it, and shouted at Tomoki's house.

"Hey! Perv! Tomoko's spending the night at my house!"

Ikaros opened Tomoki's window, as he was obviously too small to do so right now. He was standing on her head so we would be able to see him.

"What?! No! Tomoko, you have to merge with me now! I can't stay like th-"

"WILL YOU SHUT UP!", Sohara demanded.

She must have seen my terrified expressions towards his demands for me to merge with him.

"Tomoko... isn't merging with you... not now... NOT EVER!", Sohara continued.

I wasn't exactly in his view, but I could see Tomoki's face. It looked crushed...absolutely full of stress. I felt awful that he was shrunken because of me... Truly... I felt terrible...

"I-Ikaros...can you...do something?", he asked nervously.

Ikaros was always so loyal to Tomoki. She would do anything to please the one she loved. My knees began to shake, in complete fear of what she may do to me... as I remembered how she attacked me the last time I was separated... However, the pink haired girl examined Sohara's face, and then noticed me in the corner of the room. She must have been able to tell excactly what I was feeling...fear.

"Master...I think...we should go to sleep for tonight..."

"W-What?! We can't sleep now! Not like this! Ikaros, say som-"

"Goodnight Tomo!", Sohara said before shutting her bedroom window. "Man, these windows may let light in but they sure keep sound out!", she continued.

"...Do you think...he's mad at me?", I asked.

"Don't worry about him. He'll be fine. Trust me, he's dealt with much worse."

"Right..."

"Hey, right now, we should get you changed into some pajamas! I know you don't have any, so you can use a pair of mine!", she offered.

"That's sweet of you... thank you very much... Also... I dont know why, but I'm wearing your school uniform again.", I told her.

"That is weird... Now that I think of it, that's what you were wearing the last time you separated. It must be awful only having that to wear..."

"It's okay...", I said as I shook my head. "I'm thankful for how kind you are."

She went to her closet and pulled out a clean pair of pink pajamas for me to wear. They fit so snuggly.

"Wow, you look really cute!", she told me.

"Th-thank you! They're really comfortable."

"I'm glad to hear it. Now, I'll make you a futon to sleep on.", she said with a smile.

In no time at all, I had my own futon ready. Our futons were about 3 feet apart from each other. We laid down, and continued talking for a few a bit longer.

"Hey, Sohara?"

"Yes?"

"...Do you think... Nymph and the others will be okay with me... existing?"

"Of course they will! They'll love to have you around!", she assured me.

I nodded my head in response.

"This is my... first time falling asleep."

"*giggle* I'm so happy for you, Tomoko. Just leave everything to me."

"Alright. Thank you... and you know? I actually am tired even though I haven't done anything... I'm not sure why though..."

"That's alright. I am too. Tomorrow, we'll have some fun and try to fix Tomo. Goodnight, Tomoko."

"Godnight, Sohara..."

I had a lot on my mind that night, as you can imagine. I was tired, but trying to sleep was futile. How could I sleep? There was so much I was worried about... After maybe two hours, I was finally able to sleep... but I wouldn't get enough... It was already 5:00 A.M. by the time my eyes shut, and I knew I would probably be tired the next day... which would prove to be...shocking...
