REVISED: 2013/7/10

In a dark forest, leaves rustled as the stomping feet echoed. Beings wearing golden armored stylish samurai outfit as their burning hands and faceless face glowed in the darkness as they ran to chase someone.

"There she is!"

An armored samurai who had a blue flame, yelled. Those who heard his voice looked at him and pointing to his left, pointing to the direction where "she" had gone to. They continued their chase and saw a white nine-tailed animal running away from their direction.

"You can't get away!"

Blue flames surrounded the samurai's body and shifted its form to an adult eagle. His wings opened marvelously as he soared in his best speed and caught up with the fox.

He knew what this animal he and his companions were chasing, a nine-tailed fox. The fox noticed this and opened her tails similar to a circular shield. The tips of her tails conjured a small violet flame and hurled it at the eagle above her.

Of course, an eagle's eyes was always sharp. The eagle flew sideways as it continue to evade the nine-tailed fox's attacks on him. After the barrage of attack, he prepared his momentum and launched downwards; shifted his position as he thrust his talons at the fox as he launched towards her.

Just as his attack was near the escaping fox, she jumped further as she avoided his attack and ran further away from the eagle's sight.

Academy City.

It has been known for its superiority in technology. Boasting with 20 to 30 years of advancement.

Having 2.3 million of population containing 80% of different students from all levels, they aimed to give these students powers known as "ability." The remaining 20% consists of adults who were assigned to be a teacher, a shop owner, a scientist or something else different.

What is an ability? Taking from the Schrodinger cat's experiment, anyone could guess whether the cat was alive or dead by their Personal Reality. Personal Reality is called to be the basis of every esper, or ability user.

Not everyone can obtain an ability. Some parts of the city had Skill-Outs residing. Skillouts were classified Level 0 who had given up hope to obtain the so-called power. Their tagline was to protect the weak from an esper; but some of them had a grudge, so no one was sure if they were actually protecting them or harming them.

Now, a middle school girl was chasing a delinquent in the sidewalks of District 7.

'W-What's with her!?' The delinquent thought frantically. 'Everytime she's around, everything starts to become colder!'

By chance, he encountered a dark alley and sharply turned towards it and entered, hoping to escape the esper who was chasing him. Noticing that her footsteps wasn't audible anymore, he sighed and leaned down on the wall, catching his breath.

"Judgment desu."[1]

The chilly sensation attacked his skin again, and shivered down on his spine. He looked in the alley's darkness to see the same girl who was chasing him.

"H-How long you were here...?"

The girl only gave him a smile before she raised her right hand and a cold mist came out of it. "Just now. I had someone track you. You're charged of assault and harrasment. Now please give up before I freeze you."

He couldn't resist more as the girl was ready for her attack, which scared him as he realized she was a Cryokinesist. He raised his hands as he gave up and admitted the charges bestowed on him. The Judgment girl merely lashed out the cuffs and placed it on his wrist.

The armored samurais kept running, searching for the nine-tailed fox. The fox had outsmarted them. While their eagle companion almost captured the fox, the fox had a faster reaction and kicked him using her hind legs at the last minute, hitting the eagle on his chest. The eagle lost his balance in midair and landed on the ground, his chest portion aching from the kick.

In the depths of the woods, the nine-tailed fox was alone. She looked around her surroundings as she make sure her pursuers were not tailing her. Thankfully, the fox did not detect any pursuer hiding from her sight and sat on all fours. Concentrating at the matter on hand, she contemplated what was happening right now.

Why was she being chased? What was this accusation she kept hearing about? 1,000 of their population? She did not know anything about this incident. Was it because of someone else who had a grudge against the ruler? It had been like this for hours and she still could not find the mastermind.

The fox's ears twitched as she heard heavy footsteps coming from her right. They're here, she thought. The fox stood and moved slowly so she could escape from them. Unfortunately, she accidentally stepped on a broken branch and snapped on the force of the paw.

"I heard something around here! Look for it! It must the heiress trying to escape!"

That was bad, the fox thought. She quickly shifted and ran to the opposite direction from where the voices came from. Escaping without any sound was her forte, but this time she was very unfortunate.

"CHASER!"

At the park, a loud thud reverberated, followed by a rolling sound of metal.

A 14 year old middle school girl lowered her right leg. She bent down and picked up the can from the can retriever of vending machine.

"Mi-Misaka-san... You should stop wearing shorts under your skirt..."

The same middle school girl who kicked the machine coughed in response. "Kyouko! Where were you looking!?"

Kyouko sighed. "It's embarassing for Tokiwadai's Ace to act something like this; even if I don't mind..."

Kyouko, Ajime Kyouko, is a first year middle school student attending the prestigious Tokiwadai Middle School. Her light blue hair was tied up at both sides of the head by a thin ribbon. She is currently a member of Judgment 177th Branch along with her colleague Uiharu Kazari.

Misaka Mikoto is one of the only seven Level 5s in Academy City. Her ability is "Electromaster". She can detect any electrical signals around her, giving no blind spots. She is also the well-known Railgun; using arcade coins as her ammunition.

At Tokiwadai, Mikoto is called Tokiwadai's Ace due to her Level 5 status and consistent high grades.

"It's a matter of comfort." Mikoto retorted defensively. "Come on, let's go before Uiharu-san and Saten-san gets worried."

Mikoto and Kyouko walked from the park to Joseph's Restaurant.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they looked around to search for their other two friends. At the corner of Kyouko's eye, she noticed a waving hand and looked at the owner. She smiled and told Mikoto, pointing to the table that their two friends occupied and went to that table.

"Good afternoon, Uiharu-san and Saten-san." Kyouko greeted.

"Ajime-san!" Saten exclaimed. "I heard it from Uiharu! You're really great handling delinquents!"

"Saten-san..." Kyouko spoke nervously. "It was nothing difficult, really..."

Unfortunately, it fell on deaf ears. "It doesn't matter! Your way of arresting them is like they'll be in for a torture!"

A waitress approached them, asking for their orders. "Jumbo parfait!" Uiharu said. While the other three only ordered for milk tea. The waitress told them to wait for a few minutes and walked away.

"Hey, I've read another popular urban legend!" Saten said.

"Those again, Saten-san?" Kyouko asked in a bored tone. "You should stop reading about it."

"As the only Level 0 in our group," Saten paused as she put her right hand on her chest proudly, "It is my duty."

"That was a bit unnecessary..."

"Anyway," Saten pulled out her cell phone. "I've read this urban legend about things that not everyone can see."

"That's it?" Uiharu asked. "That could be done by the cameras in case of an esper who can turn themselves invisible."

"That's not the case, Uiharu." Saten looked at her phone and read the article, "They said that they're the only ones who can see them and the other people asked them if they're crazy... or something like that."

"So, they're like spirit or ghost?" Mikoto asked, catching up to the discussion.

"That's so unscientific, Saten-san." Kyouko chastised.

The waitress approached them as she held the tray with a glass of parfait and three milk tea, placing it on the table one by one, ending with Uiharu's Jumbo parfait.

As the waitress walk away, Uiharu gleamed at the mere sight of her Jumbo parfait and grabbed the spoon.

"Itadakima-"

Her phone rang and was cut-off from enjoying her parfait. She pouted as she grabbed her phone and answered it. "Hello?"

"Ahh... Yes. We're in a family restaurant right now... Yes. Understood."

The person in the other line hung up and Uiharu kept her phone, saddened that they have another Judgment duty just after receiving the Jumbo parfait.

"Another duty?" Kyouko asked.

"Yes." Uiharu nodded. "Konori-senpai told us to go on a patrol until 15:00."

"That long? It's only 12:00 and we're told to patrol for three hours; we only receive cases involving delinquents."

"Well, Konori-senpai also told me about the repeated case of 'something people cannot see'."

"Please don't tell me that the urban legend is true..." Kyouko pleaded, standing up as Uiharu did the same. "I'm sorry, you two," She said, gesturing to Mikoto and Saten. "But we'll have to do our duties as Judgment. Don't worry, it's only patrol though."

"It's okay, Kyouko. I and Saten-san can manage ourselves." Mikoto assured.

"If that's the case, then we're off." Kyouko and Uiharu left the said restaurant, leaving Saten and Mikoto by themselves.

After escaping, the fox found herself alone in the forest. She did not know how long she was away from her home. If she tried to walk back to the palace, there's a chance that her pursuers will capture her. Staying in the forest did not help. So, she only had one solution in mind.

Crossing to the other world was the only way to hide from them.

But, it was considered taboo among them. If they had tried so, they'll be considered fugitive and receive a horrible punishment.

The fox was covered in violet flame and transformed. Her appearance was a thirteen year old girl. She wore a violet yukata with flower decoration on the lower part. Long auburn hair that reached her waist. She had auburn feline eyes and 2.5 meter nails on both fingers and toe as her 'claws'.

'As long as I'm safe from them...' The human-fox thought. She looked at her right hand and clenched to fist. Her family told her that crossing to the human world is a forbidden act and must not be crossed. 'What's the use of this power if we cannot even make use of it?'

'Taboo or not, I must escape from this situation!'

She pushed her right leg backwards and bent her back forward. Her right hand was glowing in purple and slashed the air, creating a rift enough for a human to pass through. She looked around cautiously and with hesitation, entered the rift.

The same rift opened in an alley of District 7 of Academy City. There, the same human-fox girl from the other world exited. The rift closed. She looked around the area she was in. It was dark and narrow. There was light just beyond her. She slowly walked and the light kept getting stronger.

She soon finally exit the alley and was surprised how advanced the human world is. During her early days, her parents had told her about how advanced the humans are. Ranging from their skills to their ability to invent things for their benefit and so on.

Now she finally saw the human world with her own eyes, she can finally explore it without having to use an item from her world.

She approached a random stranger and poked into his shoulder.

No answer.

Poke.

No answer.

Poke poke poke.

No answer.

She sighed. Just as those guys said from her world. Only selected humans can see them. After all, they're youkai. Spirits of the other world that can't be seen by ordinary eyes.

Her ears twitched as she heard two female voices not from afar.

"This patrol is getting tiring..."

"Uiharu-san, only an hour left Please get a hold of yourself."

"Unlike Ajime-san, I'm not very athletic."

"As much as I like to rest, no. We're in a patrol and we can't slack off, incidents happen anytime, anywhere."

As the two were getting further away from her, they voices started to lower until she couldn't hear them. She wondered what kind of patrol they were in and for what reason they were doing it.

She only shrugged and continued to explore Academy City.

Time: 18:30

The human-fox's stomach growled loudly. She hadn't eaten anything over the course of the chase from the other world and the exploration of the human world. She couldn't find any food that could satisfy her stomach. After all, not a single human she encountered could see or hear her. She went inside an alley sat on a closed dumpster in fetal position, thinking of an idea how she could satisfy her stomach.

Cutting her trance of thoughts, she heard multiple voices, all of which were deep and rough.

"Ohh~ a Tokiwadai student!"

"She must be a rich girl!"

"Come on, it's dangerous out here so we'll take you home."

"Well, we don't know if you can even get to your home safe..."

"Come on now, don't ignore us. This is one in a million chance you get to be with us!"

The human-fox eavesdropped as she focused on their lines. She realized that whoever the girl they're trying to invite, it did not sound nice.

Then she heard a low female voice.

"Really... Idiots sure are hard-headed..."

She could hear a spark let out.

'Sparks? I'm fairly sure humans don't emit any kind of sparks or any kind of powers on their own...'

Her trail of thoughts were cut again as she saw bluish white electricity outside the alley. She heard thuds and the groans from male humans.

'As far as I know, only Raijin could emit that kind of power... I have to check it.'

The human-fox jumped out of the dumpster. Looking outside the alley, determined who emitted electricity and knocked out those unfortunate people.

Just as she had the first step, she felt her body giving up and knelt down. Her mind couldn't think of anything else and fell down unconsciously.

Mikoto was annoyed again. Those idiot thugs wanted to hit on her again and again. Different people in the same place. Even if they know or not know that she can fry them as black as their ambitions, they sure are hard-headed for their own sake.

'Just like that idiot.' She added in her thoughts.

Thankfully, Mikoto didn't encounter that certain idiot once today. If she had, she would challenge him again and again. She still had to discover what was behind his right hand.

She looked at the fried thugs in front of her and walked back to her dormitory. The Dorm Mistress must be looking for her and Kyouko must be worried sick since her patrol ended hours ago.

As soon as Mikoto passed by an alley, she heard a loud thud.

A/N: And here it is. The first chapter to... uhh, whatever possessed me to do this FF. I had this idea for a week now. I just couldn't get it out of my head.

If anyone's wondering what kind of setting this is... It's an AU with Supernatural in the mix. Yes, I replaced Kuroko with an OC. Don't worry, she's not overpowered and doesn't affect the plot. She's just there as a Judgment member, Mikoto's roommate, and those description that Kuroko has to Mikoto.

Oh and, don't forget to Review~ It's my only motivation to keep writing!

[1] - Sorry for writing it in Romaji. But it means "This is Judgment." or "I'm from Judgment." I only typed it like that to show the difference in Kyouko and Kuroko's speech pattern. Since our canon lesbian character uses "desu no", which make her sentences very polite. Kyouko only uses "desu" which is polite.
