After alto of thought, I decided to make this fic. Enjoy. I own nothing.

Its a harem fic. As usual. Kurumi, Tohka, and Kotori are definites. Probably gonna do the Yamai Sisters as well.

As always, give me ideas if you have them.

Fire… Raging Red. Burning. Shido Itsuka was in a burning house trying to find his adopted little sister, Kotori. Well technically, he was adopted but still.

"Kotori! Where are you?!" Spoke the young 8 year old.

"Big Brother!" Spoke the crying voice.

"I'm coming Kotori!" Shido spoke, moving towards the living room. The ceiling above had caved in and electrical wires were all around, sparking Kotori. She was far enough away that they weren't hurting her, but the sparks were attacking her though it wasn't really felt, but she couldn't move. As Shido began to pull away one of the electircal cables from around Kotori, a window exploded behind Shido from the power of the fires, which caused a vacuum sucking Shido and the power lines towards the window. Shido was struck in the chest and stomach by four eletrical cables.

"AAAAAAAAH!" Shido screamed in excruciating pain as the electrons coursed through his veins.

"BIG BROTHER!" Kotori screamed as she watched her brother die.

Shido opened his eyes while in his bed, tears in his eyes from the nightmare. Shido was 16 years old, 6 feet tall with blue hair and amber eyes. These Amber eyes were filled with pain and sadness. He had lost his parents when he was 6 years old due to a fire started by what was said was thugs, though those thugs were not even caught. Those who killed his real parents were out and about. Luckily, his parents friends adopted him. However, when he was 8 years old, Kotori and Shido lost their parents again a few days before the fire. A car accident on the highway occurred when an older couple didn't look where they were turning and without a turn signal, pushed them off the road and off the highway itself, careening into the highway below. The car burst into flames. They were rushing home because Shido was sick with the cold and stayed home from school. They were both worried for their kid as he was never sick before. Shido gets sick now and again, a lot more than kids his age. His immune system is weakened without any sort of medical reasoning.

Shido sat up on his bed and rubbed his eyes and his temple with his rubber gloves before he stood up and went to the shower. As soon as he entered the bathroom, his bedroom door opened and his little sister, Kotori entered with a tray of food. She wasn't usually the one to cook but Shido didn't get up in time to make breakfast so she attempted to cook. She placed the tray of food on his desk and left the bedroom, allowing him to eat in peace. Shido didn't stay away from Kotori, but their relationship was strained because Kotori felt responsible for Shido's state of mind. He was always depressed and somewhat emotionless after the incidents with their parents. Kotori was the one to call her parents about Shido being sick. She was worried. She also felt responsible for her parents deaths but Shido took it all on himself anyway.

Shido isn't just some depressing Emo. He had a friend in his life. He was a kindhearted boy and didn't like people to suffer. He always looked for the goodness in others. Because of his past, he was quite in tune with the despair of others and he took it upon himself to help others whenever he could. He was actually a lot better than he was when he was younger, smiling and laughing, but only when others were around. He never had a smile on by himself, but that would change very soon.

Shido exited the bathroom with his student outfit on. It was a black shirt with black pants. He had a red undershirt on. He also had two black fingerless rubber gloves on his hands. Shido approached his desk seeing the breakfast on the desk and he let out a smile. "Oh Kotori… You are a horrible cook." Shido said, laughing a bit as he say down on his bed and began to eat the burnt pancakes and really soggy oatmeal. He drenched the pancakes in syrup and drank his oatmeal before returning downstairs with the tray. "Thanks for the meal Sis." Shido said to his sister who was watching TV.

"Of course Big brother!" Kotori said with a big smile.

Shido began to pack his bag and Kotori's bag for school, his thoughts elsewhere. When he finished up, both siblings walked out of the house that was left by Kotori's parents in their will to them along with their life savings. Their parents actually were financially secure. This house was bought so they didn't need to pay rent and an outside presence paid for their utility's. It seems their parents had connections. As they locked up the house, they both walked in quiet before Shido decided to speak.

"Where would you like to go to eat today, asked the brother who already knows the answer."

"Dannys! One Deluxe Kids plate for me!"

Shido sighed and rubbed his sisters hair, smiling a bit before his neutral face returned to normal. As they approached the diner which would be the mid way between their schools, Kotori turned on a dime.

"Ok! Let's meet here for lunch!"

"Yes yes."

"Even if the place is taken over by terrorists we will still eat here!"

"I highly doubt the terrorists would allow us to stay." Shido said, rolling his eyes as his overenthusiastic sister.

"Just promise me!"

"Yes yes, i'll meet you here for lunch. I promise."

Kotori jumped into the air and began to jog away before turning.

"Don't forget you promised! So im going to be here ready to eat even if a spacial quake happens!"

"Yea yea yea. Get going or you're going to be late."

Kotori ran off to school and Shido turned on his heel and headed off for school. It was to be both of their first days as a second year student.

Shido began to doodle in his notebook being one of the first people in the classroom to actually take a seat. After a few minutes of doodling, Shido heard his name being called next to him.

"Shido Itsuka." Spoke a feminine voice.

Shido turned his head and stared at the person responsible. It was a female with silver hair in a bob cut like style.

"Uh… How do you know my name?"

"You mean you don't remember?"

"Remember what…?"

As soon as he said that, the girl just took a seat on a chair and faced the board. Shido blinked a bit and returned to his doodling as the students roared in happiness at seeing who the teacher was. It was the homeroom teacher that Shido had last year. Miss Okamine. She was really popular for her laid back attitude. She began to call rolls and when the person next to him spoke, he finally learned her name was Origami Tobiichii.

Class went by well as it was only a half day for the next two weeks as the students were to settle in. There were new students from all over the city as there was constant shifting between the three high schools in the area. It was almost noon, about 11:30 when an alarm began to sound. It was the spacial quake alarm.

"Everyone please calm down and form an orderly line but please hurry!" The teacher yelled. With that, everyone began to move single file, even though Shido spotted Origami leaving the room and disappearing. Shido was curious but he wasn't stupid. He would stay where it was safe.

As soon as Shido reached the bunker, he quickly called Kotori on his very special cell phone. It was a cell phone with a rubber case followed up with a copper case. It still allowed him to use the screen and the buttons, without damaging the phone.

'Damnit!'

He quickly activated the GPS and when he found out where Kotori was, he immediately dashed out of the bunker despite the teacher and several students voicing their concerns. Shido ran and ran, quickly heading to the diner. As he turned the corner to the street where the diner was located, a spacial quake occurred. A massive purple orb appeared and expanded destroying everything in it's path. Shido was sent flying backwards into the house, striking the wall. Shido yelled in pain before he slowly stood up. He was on the outside of a massive crater where he slowly stood up and looked within.

Shido's eyes were wide at what he saw. A girl, surrounded in a strange dress was in the middle of the crater. It was then she pulled out a sword from a giant stone sheath and swung it in his direction. A massive wave of purple energy tore a path thru the ground and went right by him, missing him by an inch or two, before striking the house behind him, cleaving the roof of the house in two. He had closed his eyes as he feared impact but when he wasn't struck, he opened them. It was then he was face to face with a giant sword which was pointed right at him.

"Not you too… You're here to kill me..." The girl spoke.

Shido fell down to his bottom, fear gripping himself. He wasn't a weak boy, infact he was quite strong. He even was able to hold his own in a fight, but the girl had magical powers or something! He was out matched!

"Don't deny it… don't deny that you are here to kill me. I must deal with you before the others arrive."

"Wait please! That's not why I came here! I came here for my sister! I could never kill anybody… Is that what you are here for?" Upon hearing the final words, the girl was taken aback with widen eyes, but it was then missiles began to rain down from the sky. The girl in the mystical armor blocked them all with a single swipe of her sword before she took to the skies.

As Shido watched the fight up in the skies, his eyes were drawn not to the flying people who wore machines, but to the woman who threatened his life.

'If she's that strong… then why does she look so sad?' Shido thought, before he was sent flying across the road and into a nearby house by a missile which missed the girl and struck the ground nearby. Luckily, only the concussive force hit him and it wasn't enough to kill him but it knocked him out and probably caused some other wound.

A bright light was the next thing Shido could remember and he began to feel someone take off his rubber gloves. It was then he woke up and quickly sat up, snatching his hand away before the rubber glove was taken off.

"Do not touch the gloves!" Shido said, holding his hand to his chest, looking at the woman who was looking over him.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Spoke the woman in a sleepy voice. "I just wanted to make sure you were ok with a through examination."

"I'm fine… I just need the gloves to stay on."

"I see."

"Where am I? Why am I here? Where's Kotori?!" Shido said, looking around scared and confused.

"You are in the sick bay of the Airship Fraxxinus. You are here because you were injured in a fight between the Spirits and the AST."

"Spirits?! AST?! What are you talking about?"

"Sorry, I'm not really one to answer those questions. You should talk to our vice commander about those things." The woman said with a sleepy voice. It was then she walked away, expecting Shido to follow. With a frown, Shido followed the sleepy woman and they wandered thru the halls of the metal facility he was in. Entering thru a pair of moving double doors, he came upon a blonde haired man.

"I brought him with me." Spoke Reine who introduced herself earlier.

"Thank you for taking care of him. Hello Shido. It's very nice to meet you. I am Kyohei Kannazuki. I'm the vice commander here. Welcome." He then gestured to his left or Shido's right, where his eyes widened in what he saw.

"Kotori?!"
