Wish you were here
Hi there! It's been a long time since I've written a fic about 11eyes. ^^
It's a fic about Resona Forma and a kind of sequel of my precedent fic Don't be sad I love you, which is one of my best fic for me.
To be honest, I think Kakeru x Shiori is one of the best pairings from 11eyes universe (the others are Kakeru x Misuzu and Takahisa x Yukiko). One of reasons why I don't like the anime is because Kakeru ends up with this Yuka bitch while all of the others girls are A LOT better than her.
Shiori deserves love, so I've written a fic about this pairing. Hope you enjoy!

It was a common day, in February. It was 5 pm, so the school was over for this day, and everyone began to prepare for leaving.
Shiori stayed in the class. She wasn't so hurried to leave, unlike the others normal humans. Anyway, what she was doing at the school or at home, her life stayed the same. Today, she preferred staying here a bit longer and reading a book which was really interesting.
It's been six months since Shiori had been transferred to Kouryoukan Academy. Her mission was over for long but she had been allowed to stay at school a bit longer than expected in order to write her report on the mission. The underlying reason was because she warmed up to this Japanese town, as well as its inhabitants and the friends that she encountered here. She sighed. She knew that if she lingered, Great Mother Johanna would suspect something about her and would send somebody to take her back. So she couldn't risk it.
"Hey! Hey! Shiori-san! What are you doing here?"
Shiori rolled her eyes. Tadashi Teruya who was in her class, was her friend, but sometimes, he really pissed her off. He stood up in front of her, their friend Kaori Natsuki beside him.
"What do you want, Tadashi?" She asked, calmly.
"Hey! Shiori-san. It's Friday today. So, I wondered if we could go out somewhere, you, Kaori-san and of course, I. What do you think about a movie?"
Shiori sighed.
"I already planned something else today."
"Oh! Shiori-san? What's wrong with you? Do you prefer staying in this bleak classroom rather making fun with us? Oh…What are you reading, here?" He looked the cover. "What is…Edgar Allan Poe?"
Kaori sighed.
"No wonder if you don't know it. You prefer wasting your time and playing to your stupid perverted Eroges rather improving your own mind."
"Whaddaya mean? Oh…I improve my mind, sure…By others ways…So, a movie? Or do you prefer going out with me alone?" He asked a weird smile on his lips full of innuendos toward Shiori. "It's okay! I can dispose of Kaori easily!"
"Oh…You…PERVERT!" Kaori cried out, giving him a Falcon Push in his face which made him flying outside of the classroom.
Shiori shrugged, accustomed to it. Kaori sighed.
"Sorry about this, Shiori. I think it will be just two of us. That's better anyway. I would like to buy undergarments and it would have been hard with this idiot."
Tadashi tried to get off the ground, but he fell down instantaneously, knocked.
"Kaori-san…I'm sorry but I don't think…"
However, passing before him, Shiori and Kaori found a person who they didn't expect to see. Kakeru entered into the classroom and headed for them.
"Ah! Kakeru! Are you still here?" Kaori smiled to him.
"Good afternoon, you two. What are you doing?"
"We were about to go out for shopping." Kaori turned back to him while Shiori stayed behind. "Do you want to come too? I think you aren't a pervert like your friend." She smiled.
"Uh…Well…" Kakeru looked down, blushing. Shiori stared at him, waiting for his response. "I already planned something else."
"Kakeru-kun! I'm ready. Can we go?"
Yuka entered into the classroom, looking very happy. She ran toward Kakeru and took his arm, which made Shiori feel a twinge of sadness. Nevertheless, she hid her face with her book. Kaori noticed it and gave her an inquisitive look. Kakeru went on.
"Yuka and I go out for karaoke."
"…Yes, that's right." Kaori agreed a bit sadly. "You two are together now so you need some time alone."
Yuka blushed and tightened her embrace. "Finally…"
Shiori looked down. "I think I'm going to leave."
"Hey! Shiori! And our shopping?"
"See you later Kakeru-san, Yuka-san."
And Shiori left the classroom, looking out to not trampling Tadashi who was still on the ground. But when she came outside, she heard a voice from behind her, calling her name. "Shiori!"
She turned back, and noticed that it was only Kaori. She was a bit disappointed about it, but when she realized it, she shook her head, without understanding. This latter looked very worried.
"Shiori! What's wrong?"
"I'm fine, thanks you."
"No! You look sad. Like if you were bothered."
Shiori didn't answer. A silence passed until Kaori asked:
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yes?"
Kaori inspired, a bit awkward.
"Shiori…Tell me. What do you think about Kakeru?"
Shiori jumped. She was surprised by her question but despite it she tried to appear impassive.
"Why do you ask me it?"
"Well…I noticed for a while…that you seem a bit weird…awkward when Kakeru is around. A bit more when he's with Yuka. Is there something or…?"
"…I respect him, that's all. There is nothing between us."
But her voice sounded embarrassed. Shiori looked away. Kaori sighed.
"Anyway…You've never spoken of your romantic experiences…so I always wondered if you liked someone…You're very uncommunicative about it."
"I'm sorry Kaori…But I don't like talking about my crushes. It's very private."
Kaori sighed again, upset. She shrugged.
"By the way, about Kakeru…You know, he's going out with Yuka."
"I know it. And I don't care."
But Kaori could see a flash of sadness in her eyes. "But there isn't just Yuka. There are others girls who are attracted to him…Misuzu-senpai, Kukuri-senpai…Yukiko…No, not Yukiko. She is going out with Takahisa."
Shiori closed her eyes.
"I don't care, Kaori-san."
"So…I think you shouldn't take a long time. There is competition. I just want to warn you. You know, I don't want to see you unhappy."
Shiori was touched by her sentence, but she didn't answer. She turned back instead.
"See you tomorrow, Kaori. We've a lot of homework for tomorrow."
"Shiori…"
But Shiori already left. Kaori sighed, cursing her for having done something wrong.
Shiori entered into her house, where she lived alone. Index proposed her to have a partner for her mission, but she refused, as she didn't want to be bothered. (Shiori teamed up with a lot of partners, extremely unskilled who already put Shiori in danger a lot of times). Shiori, or rather Ursula, sat down on the sofa, her book at hand. But she wasn't in the mood to read anymore. Kaori's words were in her mind. She had thoughts about Kakeru. She shook her head. No way. She wasn't attracted to him, unlike Kaori said. She couldn't. He was just a normal, weak boy, who was too naive for her. Shiori didn't find him ugly or something else…He was even rather handsome. But that's all.
Shiori sighed. She thought he was nice, very nice with her and with his friends. Indeed, he had…a kind of will in his look. She couldn't understand. A will, determined to protect people dearly to him, as his friends. She found it gripping, but it wasn't enough for making her in love with him.
Kakeru was a friend, nothing more.
Shiori was convinced of it. The reason why she didn't like Yuka was another story. She didn't know…She thought her just a bit too possessive and clinging. Not just Kakeru. She thought if it would have been someone else, her thoughts would have been the same.
She lie down on the sofa, pensive. Nevertheless, even if she loved Kakeru, nothing would work between them. First, Kakeru was a normal human unlike her. She was a powerful magus, working for Index, and she didn't think that Index would allow a relationship with a normal human. Even if it was the case, she couldn't. Kakeru had been the Eye of Aeon bearer, and Index would be surely interested to examine him. And she couldn't put up with it. He was a friend so she couldn't.
Then, she will return to Index in Vatican very soon. So, she wouldn't have time for confessing her love and having a relationship with him. Her mission was more important. Anyway, if she wanted to confess her affection, he wouldn't return it. Not just because he was with Yuka. Even if it wasn't the case, she was certain that he would be more attracted by someone else, as Misuzu or Kukuri. As Kaori said, there was a serious competition.
Shiori sighed. Finally, even if she was attracted to him, she wouldn't confess it. She didn't want to be hurt again. Her romantic experiences had been ended by a failure. Indeed, she had been in love twice. The first was a boy named Shuu Amami. Their relationship had begun during a mission where she was in Japan. They fought a wizard extremely powerful together and Shuu confessed his love to her. Shiori had been really in love with him, and two of them had spent a good time together. But later, when she proposed him to join her to Index, he refused, saying that Index was cruel toward everyone, especially toward the modern magus, and he wouldn't want to join an organisation as despotic. So they broke off afterwards, which made her extremely unhappy. Then, just before another mission in Paris, she met one of members from her family line, Benedictus of the Bookshelf. She wasn't even really in love with him. He had an unhappy love affair, as her and they spent the evening together. The two comforted each other mutually, and then finally they slept together. That's all. When she came back from her mission, they didn't get back in touch with each other. According to Sophia, he also was with someone currently. So Shiori could do nothing to it.
Shiori sighed. Thinking to Sophia, she could talk to her about those feelings. Sophia was very open-minded about it so she could have advice or something else. Shiori sat up and took her laptop that she switched on and she began to send an email to her.
