Since the day she could walk, the day she could understand words, the day she was first experimented on, Naruko believed she was walking a path of darkness.
No light, no kindness, no joy, just work, pain, sleep. A cycle that always felt so tiresome. Everything she had done thus far was all under instruction, no decision her own, she was caged, plain and simple. When she would look around in her room, only the pale walls stared back at her. The floors were cold and the air was suffocating. She was in a dark pit without a single ray of hope.
During her somewhat free time to observe Academy City she found a place where kids her age, from what she was told she was 8 years old now, would play and have fun. She sat on a swing and moved a little. She couldn't find the enjoyment in this, not that she even knew what enjoyment was.
Then something weird happened.
She was approached by a girl was short chestnut brown hair and matching eyes. She had a big smile on her face and asked a single question, one that changed her very life.
"Wanna be friends?"
That term, friend, what did it mean? She didn't understand, so she just nodded, that was what she usually did when asked something. The girls' smile grew larger as she grabbed her hand and they started to play in a box filled with sand. While this was happening, one thing crossed her mind though.
Could she ever be able to smile like that?

Naruko woke from sleep and rubbed her eyes as she looked around her private single room at Tokiwadai Dorms. You see, Tokiwadai has two dormitories; one of them is outside of the School Garden, where she lives, and the other one which is in the School Garden, where other students take residence. Her room was right next to Mikoto's, so she would have a familiar face around. Her large assortment of plush toys and Gekota merchandise filled the room.
The Garden was similar to other areas in district 7, as it was simply an area composed of schools and other establishments like shops and restaurants, however what makes the area different from others is that it was composed of the 5 elite schools for girls and the establishments that tended to its population was similarly high-classed.
With its reddish sett- and cobble-stoned roads and streets tessellated in strange designs, and showering fountains in their open squares, lighten by wrought metal lamps, traditional brick and mortar buildings, roofs such as flat types, gables and spires, and their tasteful parapets and the corbels that support them, and of the smokestacks resting upon them, its balconies upon windows with metal balusters of arabesque designs that surround it, and the awning above them. With its subtle crosswalk and unique traffic lights different from the rest of the city, and its gates that provided the entrance to the area, and its baroque colonnades and entablature.
It was absolutely one her most favorite places in all of Academy City! She found it to be so beautiful, from what she read it was designed to be similar to the streets in France itself!
She had several large bookshelves with books in all kinds of subjects and manga of many varieties. Naruko always liked Shonen manga for some reason. The idiotic, but strong male protagonist always drew her attention.
But for the life of her, she didn't understand way?
She had bubble pipe laying on her dresser too. She liked bubbles, ever since Mikoto showed them to her when she was 9, so as a gag gift, Mikoto got one for her one her tenth birthday. It looked like Sherlock Holmes pipe, since Naruko had told Mikoto that was one of her favorite non-manga series to read. She usual blew it while reading on her large dark orange beanbag chair to give herself a more sophisticated look, but Mikoto just said in made her look more adorable and she pouted at that, she wanted to look grown up, but it back fired! She cursed her loliness at times.
She had a mahogany desk and her black leather spiny computer chair with her high tech computer and flat screen monitor that doubled as a T.V. on the desk that was littered with some sticky notes and research notes. In the corner was a coffee table for snacks and drinks along with some fluffy cushions in a variety of colors to sit on.
Her bed was very big and soft too, and fire proof, can't forget to mention fire proof. She had a few sneezing fits when she was young and didn't have good control over her Pyrokinesis at the time and lit her bed on fire some times by accident. Since that day she was given beds with fire proof material built in, but still held the best comfort for her to sleep on.
There were a few candy boxes that she had ordered or had been sent to her from others, be they fans, admires, or people sucking up to her.
Naruko decided to get dress in her usual outfit and headed for class.
Maybe it won't be boring this time.
0 One epic snore fest later 0
No, she was wrong; it was boring…as usual.
She was heading to her room to drop her stuff off and then would go see what Mikoto was up to, but she saw two people by her door. Both looked like second years of Tokiwadai, one had long light purple hair with drill-like curls at the ends, a very Ojou-sama style, and a girl with long black hair with glass on. The blonde smiled seeing her while the other was holding a package.
"Naruko-sama, wonderful to see you again." The purplette one said with a bow as the other one bowed as well.
"Hi." Naruko said with a small wave, wondering what they wanted.
"The Queen received some Swedish Chocolate today imported directly from Sweden, she wished for you to have some due to your kinship for sweets." The purplette said with a smile as she gestured to the box of chocolate the other girl was holding.
Naruko swallowed hard, she loved Swedish Chocolate since her sempai, the 6th rank level 5, Shokuhou Misaki the Queen of Tokiwadai, had introduced her to them during one of their tea parties that she was always getting invited to.
For some reason though, Mikoto-nee and Masaki-sempai never get along and fight over her, but she could never understand why? Maybe it was an older girl thing?
"Is it…" Naruko trailed off with slightly glazed eyes.
"Milk, white, and dark, Naruko-sama." The purplette responded.
Naruko gave a tiny whimper and her hand started to hover towards the chocolates, but the purplette walked in front of her with her smile still on her face. Naruko's eyes widen somewhat along with some tears in the corners of her eyes and her lower lip trembled a little at being denied her exotic sweets.
Both girls looked like they were punched in the gut and had blushes at seeing such an adorable look on #2.
'Truly Naruko-sama is the cute face of Tokiwadai.' The purplette thought since The Queen was the grace of Tokiwadai and Misaka Mikoto, the thorn in her Queen's side at getting #2 into her clique, was the…violent beast, yes that was what her Queen considered #4.
The purplette coughed in her hand to regain her composure while still having a slight blush on her face, "Before we give you the chocolates Naruko-sama, the Queen extends an invitation today for another of your tea parties, will you be attending?" she asked formally.
Naruko pouted, she loved those tea parties, but she couldn't today, "Sorry, but I have a tutoring session today." She said with a slump in her shoulders.
The purplette gave a small gasp as she covered her mouth elegantly with her hand, "Naruko-sama needs tutoring, but, but your ranked right behind Misaka-san in academics." She said in slight shock, maybe the Queen could use this information.
Naruko blinked in surprise and waved her hand, "No no, I have to give a tutoring session at a high school."
The girl sighed in both relief and sadness, relief that their highest level 5 didn't need tutoring and sadness at the lost chance that her Queen could have exploited, "As expected of someone like Naruko-sama, willing to teach others so they may better themselves. It's perfectly alright, but just remember that if you need anything the Queen would gladly help out." The blonde said cheerful as Naruko opened her door and the purplette's associate placed them in her room and they left with a wave and smile.
Naruko returned the wave and would have to send a thank you call or email to Misaki later. She dropped her bag and walked next door to Mikoto's and Kuroko's room and opened the door with the spare key her Mikoto-nee gave her to use anytime she wanted. She opened the door and was in shock at what was flying at her.
"Onee-sama~!" Kuroko exclaimed as she jumped Naruko while wearing nothing but a pair of violet panties and a very loose matching robe. Kuroko tackled her to the ground and started hugging her tightly and rub against her.
But Kuroko, Kuroko felt a disturbance in her Onee-sama, why did she feel shorter and since when did she have long hair? These were the questions that plagued Kuroko's mind, till she heard a sniffle. Kuroko turned her head to face her 'Onee-sama' only to see her blonde friend/rival, who started to cry a little at being tackled since she banged her head on the floor.
"Ei!" Kuroko said as she covered the blondes' mouth so her crying wouldn't be heard.
"Kuroko."
Too late.
Kuroko turned her head in a mechanical fashion to see her Onee-sama, Uiharu, and Ruiko.
If looks could kill, Kuroko would have been dead twenty times over with the glare Mikoto was giving her.
Uiharu was blushing like mad while covering her face and started mumbling about, 'Shirai-san forcing herself on others.'
No no no, it was a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding Kuroko says!
Ruiko was blushing too and was worried about the little blonde.
Mikoto cracked her knuckles in a very unlady-like fashion, Onee-sama that's bad for your beautiful finger bones, and slowly walked over to Kuroko as the Teleporter had yet to remove herself from the blonde.
"Die." Mikoto whispered
"YEEEEHHHHAAAAA Ow ow ow, Kuroko is sorry, it was a misunderstanding! Ah, put the whip away! Ow ow ow~ah~, don't put the whip away~" were the shouts, along with others from the level 4.
"Urasai hentai!"
*BAM*

"Oh, wow, so this is what an Ojou-sama's room looks like~" Uiharu gushed as she explored Mikoto and Kuroko's room.
It was an upper class two bed bedroom with two desks and book cases with many different types of books. Between the beds was a coffee table for snacks and drinks to sit on.
"It's so stylish and chic." Ruiko added as she jumped on one of the beds, "The bed is really soft too."
Uiharu sat next to her, "Yeah, it is!" she exclaimed as she bounced on it little.
In the far corner of the room was Kuroko roped up, looking slightly battered.
She could easily Teleport out of the ropes, but the wrath of her Onee-sama for her alleged forceful deviant act towards the tiny blonde, who was being cuddled in her Onee-sama's bosom, A POSITION THAT KUROKO SHOULD BE IN, stopped her from escaping.
Kuroko turned to her side to prevent her tears from being seen. Once again that blonde seductress had gained her Onee-sama's favor and was able to rest in her bosom, she will get her just deserts, this Kuroko swears!
Wait! Could, could Naruko-san be trying to get her in trouble with her Onee-sama, was Kuroko FRAMED!
…That sneaky little loli, Kuroko is on to your games, and she will be victorious!
"Baka Kuroko, I know she's like that with me, but to change targets? Tsk." Mikoto muttered as she stroked Naruko's hair after she had undone the ponytail. Mikoto always loved Naruko's hair, which was the very reason the blonde let it grow out to knee length because it was one of the things Mikoto liked about her.
Naruko just snuggled in the warmth of the hug, when a question entered her mind, "Why are Uiharu-chan and Saten-chan here?" the blonde asked as she looked up from Mikoto's bosom.
"Ah," Mikoto said hearing this and looked into her blue eyes, "We met up with each other, so we hit a few shops together and they said they wanted to see our dorm." The chestnut hair girl answered.
"Ah." Naruko said as she nodded with understanding. It was rare for students of Tokiwadai to bring students from other schools, let alone outsiders in general. The only exception would be the annual Midsummer Festival.
You see normally, the Tokiwadai Dormitory is closed off to the public; however, during the middle of summer, the dormitory opens its doors to the public for one day, and where the students of the Tokiwadai Dormitory serve them. The students dress up in maid outfits and serve the guests by giving them pamphlets, and showing them around the dormitory where events are being held. The students from the Tokiwadai Dormitory in the School Garden were allowed to take part of the festivities by serving guests or being guests themselves. The student's were also allowed to invite guests.
"The Tokiwadai dorms are as fabulous as I had imagined. I'm so jealous." Uiharu said as she clasped her hands together and closed her eyes as she basket in the atmosphere of an Ojou-sama's room.
"The dining hall is huge, too!" Ruiko exclaimed as she spread her arms out wide with Uiharu nodding in agreement.
Mikoto laughed a little, "Well, not really, but it is one of Naruko's favorite places though." She teased lightly since the blonde was slightly famous for her never ending stomach and never gaining a pound from her eating habits. It left most of the girls envious and begging for Naruko's secrets to stay so thin and healthy. The response was a mere shrug and an 'I don't know.' Mikoto laughed hard that day.
"Eh! But the foods really yummy~" The blonde protested with a slight blush.
For some strange reason though, Kuroko was giggling slightly disturbingly in her little timeout corner.
"Umm…Shirai-san, are you okay?" Uiharu said in concern for her partner.
Scarcely, her response was another creepy giggle.
Naruko blinked and saw Ruiko rutting around under Kuroko's bed, "Nee nee, Saten-chan, what'cha doing?" she asked
Ruiko came out and pulled out Kuroko's special box, the one that she was never allowed to touch. As ordered from both Mikoto and Kuroko for different reasons.
"Well, when you go over to a friend's house…you're supposed to investigate, right?" she said questioningly as she lifted up the lid and gasped, "Oh ho! Erotic!" she exclaimed as she lifted up a pair of black panties.
"Saten-san! Don't go invading other people's privacy!" Uiharu said abashed.
Ruiko turned to Mikoto, "Nice work, Misaka-san. Very adult." The cheerful girl said.
Mikoto had a slight blush on her face as she adverted her eyes, "No that's…" she trailed off.
"Isn't that Kuro-chan's special box that you didn't want me to look into Mikoto-nee?" Naruko asked as laid down on Mikoto's bed.
"Indeed it is." Kuroko said as she had Teleported out of her bindings.
"Kuroko…" Mikoto raised her tone slightly.
Kuroko waved her off, "I said I was sorry. There, done." She said ending the subject, much Mikoto chagrin.
"These revealing panties are yours?" Ruiko questioned as she held them up to Kuroko.
"It's not that revealing. Black panties are a requirement for a proper lady." Kuroko answered as if it was obvious as she curled one of her twintails with her finger.
Ruiko pulled up another pair, "This pair with the red butterfly, too?"
"I use that color when I'm feeling frisky." Kuroko answered shamelessly.
"And this stringy T-back?" Ruiko said as she held up the light blue T-back.
"That one is quite useful. It doesn't leave any marks on my skin." Kuroko replied with a hand on her cheek.
"A-and these full body mesh stockings?" Ruiko asked with a stutter.
Kuroko cupped her chin, "Sometimes a woman just has to become a panther." She said with a sly look in her eyes.
These answered left both Uiharu and Ruiko dumbstruck as Ruiko dropped the mesh stocking. Ruiko quickly jumped in front of Uiharu and pulled up her skirt. Uiharu freaked out and pulled her skirt down with a blush, "W-what are you doing, Saten-san!?" the flower girl questioned loudly.
"Oh, you know, it's just my usual routine." Ruiko said casually, "Seeing your striped panties always calms me down." She said with a sigh of relief. Uiharu just blushed harder from this.
"Why do you have to make such a big deal over underwear?" Kuroko questioned airily, "Take a look. I have a lot more!" she said as she leaned on the floor and began presenting more of her exotic undergarments.
Mikoto waddled over to Naruko, turned her around and covered her ears to save her innocence.
"Ah, Mikoto-nee, I want to hear." Naruko said as she tried to turn around.
"No, not until your 18 can you learn about this." Mikoto declared loudly. Naruko just pouted. Mikoto was still holding onto Naruko's ears till she saw a childish pair of panties with a funny character on it that Kuroko held up and blushed.
Uiharu and Ruiko sighed in relief seeing them.
"What a relief. So Shirai-san wears that kind too." Ruiko said
"My Shirai-san has returned!" Uiharu stated
Mikoto swiped them quickly and turned away with embarrassment after she let go of Naruko to retrieve them, "Sorry…these are mine…wait a second Kuroko!" Mikoto said yelling and started to pull on Kuroko's cheeks, "Why is my underwear under your bed! Huh?" she questioned in ferocity.
"It's a misunderstanding, Onee-sama!" Kuroko said through pulled cheeks.
She seems to be saying that a lot today.
"Calm down, Misaka-san…" Uiharu said pleadingly as Naruko giggled a bit, "Ooh, I want to see your photo albums!" she stated, hoping to turn Mikoto away from her target of rage.
"Going for the basics, huh?" Ruiko said in understanding as she nodded to this idea.
"I really want to see how you three looked in elementary school." The flower girl said.
Naruko stiffened at that slightly while Mikoto looked slightly embarrassed and said, "Eh…"
-Moments later-
"Oh, so cute!" the first response to seeing Mikoto holding her mother's hand entering elementary school for the first time.
"Is this your first elementary school entrance ceremony?" Ruiko asked
"Is that beautiful person next to you your mother?" Uiharu said in awe.
"Um…yes…" Mikoto said in slight discomfort as they looked at picture of her winning a bread race. Then her wearing kimono, "What nice kimono." Uiharu gushed, as the next one showed Mikoto munching on a riceball in a tracksuit, "This is really embarrassing…" Mikoto said as the last one was of her in a school bathing suit, sitting pool side and kicking the water.
"I have to say though, this is kind of unexpected." Ruiko said as she looked at Mikoto.
"What is?" the fourth level 5 said questioningly.
"Well, Misaka-san, you're a level 5 and the ace of Tokiwadai." She said as Uiharu flipped through more photos, "I would have figured that you were from an upper-class family. You know, someone who's been walking the path of the elite their entire life." She stated with embarrassment at judging her like that.
"Oh, that's not it at all." Mikoto said, "I started out as a level 1. I was just a normal kid."
"I see…" Ruiko said in a whisper with a look of understanding.
"Let's look at Shirai-san's next." Uiharu said as she looked up at her Judgment partner.
"Oh, I would love to…unfortunately; I don't have a photo album." She said with a shrug.
"Huh?" Uiharu said, not understanding why she wouldn't have one.
"I live in the present." Kuroko said as cupped her chin to look cool, "Instead of dwelling in the past or dreaming of the future, I want to live in the present." She said passionately as Ruiko walked behind her to her bookshelf and started looking around, "That's something I've promised myself." She finished as she placed a hand on her chest.
"Isn't this it?" Ruiko said as she pulled out a black book with red markings on it.
"AAAAAGH!" Kuroko shouted in surprise as she rushed over to get it, "This isn't allowed!" she shouted
"Oh my…" Uiharu muttered
"Kuro-chan is so in trouble." Naruko said she looked at all the secret photos taken of Mikoto.
The book was labeled Onee-sama's secrets; Mikoto started shacking with rage and a blushed face, "Kuroko!" she shouted as she started to pull Kuroko's cheeks again, "You should be reflecting on the present, not the past or the future!" she proclaimed as she pulled harder.
Mikoto let go and Kuroko fell on the floor, "I'm just that serious about you, Onee-sama!" Kuroko claimed as she turned to look at Mikoto with tears, "Don't you remem-"
She was cut off by Ruiko, "Nee, we haven't seen Namikaze-san's album yet?" the level 0 said.
Kuroko face planted on the floor loudly in tears.
Naruko started to look uncomfortable and Mikoto of course noticed since she knew that Naruko didn't have many photos when she was younger, "Naruko, you don't have to-" Mikoto started, but Naruko cut her off.
"It's okay, Kuro-chan, Uiharu-chan, and Saten-chan are my friends, they can see them." The blonde said with a bitter smile, "But we have to go to my room." The blonde said and the others nodded eager to see her room as they walked next door to room 207.
"Ah!" Uiharu and Ruiko said in surprise as they looked in Naruko's room and saw all the plush toys. Ruiko blinked, "Somehow…I'm not that surprised since it fits with Namikaze-san's personality." She said nodded to herself as she cupped her chin and had her other hand on her hip. Uiharu blinked at this too and nodded, "Your right."
"AH! Beanbag chair!" Ruiko proclaimed as she ran up to it and up to and jumped on it. She sank in a bit and got comfortable, "This is nice~" she said as she melted into the chair.
Uiharu spotted something that made her gasp, "Namikaze-san! Smoking is bad for you!" she said anguished as she pointed at the 'pipe' in question.
Mikoto laughed, "Easy Uiharu-san, it's a bubble pipe; I got it for when she was 10." The Electro-Master said between giggles.
"Ah." Uiharu muttered with a blush of understanding.
Ruiko leaned her head back on the beanbag chair and went wide eyed at all the manga on the shelf, "Wow, that's a lot of manga." She said as she pulled out a random volume and started reading.
"Does Namikaze-san have a roommate?" Uiharu asked since she saw only one bed.
"Nope, a little perk I guess from being #2. The school wanted me to feel very comfortable they stated." The blonde stated casually, but she didn't agree with that. It was most likely because of her sponsor.
While the girls were admiring her room, Naruko went under bed and pulled out a data pad that she stored her photos in.
"Here we are~" she said as she held it out from under the bed while she was still under it and came out and sat on her spiny chair. The girls pooled around her and she started with the first picture, the one she cared most about.
In the photo was a tall man with spiky blonde hair and blue eyes with slightly tanned skin in dress pants and a white dress shirt and a lab coat and black shoes. There was a woman next to him; she had long silky red hair and violet eyes while wearing a long black skirt and white dress shirt with a lab coat as well with black heels. They were both smiling as they held each other and the woman had her hand over her stomach (1).
"This is my Papa and Mama." Naruko said with a sad smile.
"Wow! Your dad is so, so handsome and your mom is gorgeous!" Ruiko said as stared at her new friends' hottie of a father, dang, she saw where Naruko got her looks from.
"Ah, bishonen, bishoujo." Uiharu said gasping at the photo.
Kuroko…well Kuroko was staring at Naruko's mother with a bit of drool and looking was back at Naruko. She could definitely see where Naruko got her looks from and facial features, but those assets and curves on her mother, would she get those? Kuroko questioned as she thought up a new strategy, while she would most definitely get her Onee-sama in the end, that doesn't mean she couldn't…expand, right? Right? No! This was a test, a test to prove her loyalty to her Onee-sama, but the woman in the photo was so pretty too~ Ah Kuroko's head was feeling dizzy!
Uiharu noticed the lab coats on them, "Are they scientists?" she eagerly asked.
"They were. Papa studied Elemental Kinesis' and Mama studied Personal Reality. They work directly for the Superintendent of Academy City himself." Naruko said in a sad tone.
"Wait…were?" Ruiko asked just realizing she spoke of her parents in a past tense.
"Mm, Mama pasted away during my birth and Papa died due to an accident in a lab just before he was leaving for the hospital." The blonde said in an emotionless tone.
Mikoto grasped her shoulder and squeezed it lightly and Naruko lifted her hand over hers and squeezed it in return to know she was here for her.
A gloomy atmosphere set in, to think that the ever happy and cute loving Naruko had such a tragic past.
"It wasn't that bad. Since they knew the Superintendent, he made sure I was well taken care of." The blonde said trying to lift the atmosphere, but failed so she decided to change the picture to one when she was 8. In the picture were both Mikoto and Naruko taking a nap together. Mikoto had her chin on top of Naruko's head and Naruko was snuggling close to Mikoto. It was a photo taken by Mikoto's mother, Misuzu, who had taken a liking to Naruko instantly, during one of her visits to see her daughter.
"Aw." The girls said as they saw it and the gloom atmosphere was gone in an instant. Cute things tend to do that.
They went through some more. In each picture the other girls noticed that Naruko had an emotionless look in her eyes, but after each picture a light grew in them and by the ending of the pictures they saw the blonde they knew smiling like no tomorrow in a blue one piece bathing suit dancing in the ocean.
"And that concludes the early years of Namikaze Naruko." The blonde said.
"They were really nice pictures Namikaze-san." Uiharu said with a smile and Ruiko nodded cheerfully next to her.
"Yes, your mother was quite beautiful Naruko-san." Kuroko as she finally wiped that drool away.
Mikoto just gave the blonde a smile since she had seen them before and she was in over half of them anyway. The Electro-Master looked around the room and saw a brown box; she walked over and read the label that had a four pointed star with the initials M.O. and growled, "Naruko, was that boob monster here?" she said as she look right at the blonde.
Naruko blinked at the question until Mikoto pointed to the box of chocolates. The blonde gained a look of understanding and shook her head, "Misaki-sempai didn't come, but two of her friends did." Naruko chirped, she couldn't wait to eat those chocolates!
Mikoto snorted in her mind, 'Friends? Yeah right, more like mind slaves.' "I'm getting rid of these." Mikoto said stiffly as she pick up the box to throw it out, but Naruko was hugging her leg in a second, "No~ they're from Sweden, Swedish chocolates!" the blonde stated as she held Mikoto's leg tighter.
Uiharu gulped at the moment Swedish chocolates was said and wanted some.
"No way, we don't even know what that mind invader did to them, for all we know she could have drug them!" the chestnut haired girl argued, she really won't put it past that blonde hussy to do that to get Naruko.
Naruko gasped from the floor, "Misaki-sempai is a sweets lover, she would never defile the beauty of sweets like that!" the blonde said fiercely, after all it was in the sweets lover's code of conduct to never tamper with sweets, NEVER!
The two continued to argue while Ruiko cupped her mouth and whispered to Kuroko, "Psst Shirai-san, what's going on?" she asked as Uiharu leaned closer to listen to the two.
Kuroko covered her mouth and answered back, "#6 Mental Out runs the biggest clique in Tokiwadai and is known as the Queen of the school. She has been trying to get Naruko-san in it since she started attending, but Onee-sama doesn't like that since she feels that #6 would just use Naruko-san for her power and influence, which is a lot by the way. Still Naruko-san seems to be friends with Mental Out for some unknown reason to Onee-sama so she protects Naruko-san from any sneaky traps #6 may use to get Naruko-san to her side." The Teleporter explained while the other two were awed, such drama all for one little girl, all bet a powerful one, but still?
Mikoto, getting tired of Naruko arguing with her, put the box down and stroked one of Naruko's whisker marks. Naruko's eyes went wide and she gave out a low purr, but epped as she covered her mouth while sending a childish glare at Mikoto, "You promised you wouldn't do that in front of other peop~le." Naruko started saying, but Mikoto went for another sneak attack and touched her whiskers again.
The blonde purred again. The others blushed in surprise at the sound and gulped at the cuteness of it. That level of cuteness was absolutely criminal! Mikoto knelt down and had a devious smug grin on her face, "You really shouldn't argue with a nee-san that knows all your weak points Na~ru~ko." Mikoto teased as she placed the blondes' head on her lap and started teasing her more till the blonde was purring helplessly in her lap.
The others had their eyes wide open in shock…to think that the second strongest level 5 was putty in your hands if you played with her whisker marks.
Kuroko can purr, she can purr too Onee-sama~ Why does Naruko-san get all the attention~ Play with Kuroko too~ the Teleport thought in tears.
Why can't she ever win!
Mikoto smiled in victory at this, she first learned about this little weakness of Naruko's when the blonde was 9 and they went out for Halloween. Mikoto had gotten Naruko a pair of cat ears that matched her hair, since she already had whisker marks, and started to pet her like a cat. Once she touched her whisker marks, well let's just say that Mikoto had the ultimate tool against Naruko when she was defiant and leave it at that.
"Stop~" Naruko whined helplessly with big doe eyes, but that didn't stop Mikoto, "Nope; this is what a bad Kohai gets." The older level 5 said as she gave one last long stroke.
Naruko collapsed, panting on the floor with a big blush on her face.
*Ding Ding Ding* Misaka Mikoto *Flawless Victory*
Mikoto took the box out of the room. She walked back in the room moments later while nodding to herself with a smile.
"My chocolates." Naruko muttered with tears coming from the corner of her eyes.
Mikoto walked over and gave her a hug, "There there, they're in a better place now." She said, 'Like the incinerator.' Mikoto thought in smug victory, take that you big boob bimbo, "Hey how about some ice cream instead?" the older level 5 said in hopes to cheer the blonde up.
And it did…very quickly.
"With hot fudge?" The blonde asked with giddiness.
Truly sweets ruled the second level 5's life.
"Lots of it." Mikoto said as she patted her head.
"Yay!" the blonde cheered as she pumped her arms in the air.
THAT. WAS. IT!
"Onee-sama, did you forget what today is?" Kuroko asked with a stiffened tone.
"Eh?" Mikoto said as she was thinking what flavor she was going to get.
"A month…it has been exactly one month since the red string of fate tied us together! One month ago we ended up becoming roommates by coincidence. We've eaten and slept together since then. We've even shared in our triumphs and defeats. Right here! Right here in this room!" Kuroko said as she started to sniffle and brought her hands to her eyes as she started to cry, "Yet, yet…Onee-sama, you…"
"Shirai-san…" Uiharu said in worry.
Ruiko looked at Uiharu uncomfortably, "Maybe we aren't welcomed here?" she said in a whisper.
"This is my room, you're welcomed here. Kuro-chan is just being dramatic is all." Naruko whispered back.
Ruiko nodded while Uiharu sighed, she should have figured as much.
"Kuroko…you…" Mikoto started off as she walked up to Kuroko, who was by the door now.
"Onee-sama?" Kuroko said as she looked up.
"You barged in here, didn't you?" Mikoto accused and Kuroko looked horrified, "It wasn't a coincidence or the red string of fate. And what are you going on about?" Kuroko started making excuses, "Happiness? Sorrow? Stop making crap up!" the Electro-Master said as she started to pull the Teleporter's cheeks.
"It's a difference of opinion!" Kuroko exclaimed through pulled cheeks.
"That's right! Perversion must be stamped out!" Mikoto stated as Kuroko broke free of her face pulling, "No, I said it was a difference of opinion." Kuroko argued, "And I just…I just wanted to celebrate this day quietly." she stated
Naruko's intercom went off and the blonde walked up to it, "Hai?" she said
"This is FedEx. Your room 207, correct?" the delivery man said.
"Yes."
"Your room is listed for room 208's back up if the occupants are out. Can we leave you a package with you for Shirai Kuroko-san?"
"Um…sure." Naruko said as Mikoto walked over, "What are the contents, I'm Shirai's roommate." She said
Kuroko started to pale visibly.
"They're labeled as PC parts." The deliverer answered.
Kuroko let out a sigh of relief.
"Who sent it?" Mikoto asked further.
"Love and Chinese Traditional Hypersexual Love Potion, LTD." The guy said bluntly.
Kuroko raged, "Damn, they should have hidden that part!" she shouted
Mikoto stiffened and had a dangerous glint in her eye, "Kuroko, why do you need a love potion for a quiet celebration?" she questioned
"Um…" Kuroko said as she averted her eyes as she tried to think up an excuse.
"I live for these moments." Naruko said with a snicker.
It was better than a soap opera!
"It looks like drastic measures will be needed to stamp out your perversion." Mikoto said in a monotone fashion as sparks flickered around her.
"O-Onee-sama…" Kuroko said trying to reason with the level 5.
"Hey wait this is my room!" Naruko exclaimed seeing what Mikoto was about to do.
"I'm going to zap you into charcoal!" Mikoto yelled
Next thing Naruko knew, her door was blasted open.
"…My door." Naruko said in disbelief.
Luckily for Kuroko, she teleported in to the hall to save herself from the blast.
Naruko heard Kuroko laugh in the hall and something about a duel. She stomped out to the hall, "Hey! Who's going to fix my do-" she started but stopped as she froze at the sight that made even Mikoto freeze.
"Onee-sama? Naruko-san?" Kuroko said questionable at their facial expressions.
"Dormitory Law, Code 9," a voice said and Kuroko stiffened as well with a look of fear, "The use of abilities inside of the dormitory is absolutely prohibited." The dorm mistress said.
The dorm mistress was a tall and slender woman, who had shoulder-length brown hair and wore glasses, and a business suit with a skirt.
"You couldn't have forgotten that, have you Shirai?" she questioned
Kuroko turned around as she and Mikoto, along with Naruko straightened their posture and bowed to her at the same time.
"O-oh, good afternoon, dorm mistress." Kuroko stammered out, "And of course not. No, we weren't just using our abilities haphazardly…" she trailed off in fear, yes most definitely fear.
"They did it!" Naruko accused as she pointed out both Mikoto and Kuroko.
They both turned around with a look of disbelief at the betrayal.
Naruko just gave them a look that said, 'better you then me.'
Mikoto narrowed her eyes and an expression that said, 'You are so not getting ice cream.'
Naruko just pointed to her door and Mikoto visibly winced. The Electro-Master held up one finger to show how many scoop she was willing to pay for. Naruko countered with three fingers, but Mikoto counter-offered with two and Naruko gave her a thumbs up.
"I see…destroying dorm property is very bad." The dorm mistress said in a dyer tone.
"We have a very good reason…" Kuroko tried to say to get out of the hole she buried herself in, no thanks to a certain tattling blonde!
"Hm, unavoidable circumstances you say?" the dorm mistress questioned.
"Yes, yes." Kuroko said as she bowed her head fiercely.
"But…" the older woman trailed off as she grabbed Kuroko's head and snapped it, knocking the Teleporter out cold and threw her to the side.
Uiharu and Ruiko gasped, while Naruko stiffened with shaken fear.
"K-Kuroko~" Mikoto exclaimed in fear.
The dorm mistress walked up to Mikoto, "I cannot protect the law and order of the dormitory if I take 'unavoidable circumstances' into account. Those who break the rules must be punished." She said as she lifted her glasses to remove the glint they had from the lighting and showed her furious look, "Don't you agree, Misaka?" she said
"Y-yes." Mikoto squeaked in fear.
"Namikaze, your door will be fixed after I deal out the punishment for these two. Your two other friends will leave and," she said as she looked at her watch on her wrist, "Don't you have a tutoring session?" she questioned, since the blonde had special authority to teach some lectures at high schools to represent Tokiwadai.
Naruko gasped and rushed to her room and pulled out a Gekota duffle bag and slug it over her shoulder, "Thank you dorm mistress and can I jump out the window?" Naruko asked since she was now in a hurry and didn't want to ran in the dorm and get punished too.
Uiharu and Ruiko gasped at the question.
"Yes." The dorm mistress said, since the blonde had done this before.
Naruko bowed, "Thank you." Our protagonist said as she opened the window and jumped out.
"Namikaze-san!" Uiharu and Ruiko proclaimed in fear as they rushed to the window.
"Yes?" Naruko said as she was a little above them…flying!
No invisible floors, no wires, just…hovering.
They looked closer and saw two pressurized jets of gold fire coming from her feet.
"You can fly?!" Ruiko exclaimed loudly with wide eyes.
Naruko tilter her head to the side, "Yep~ Well see you guys soon~" she said as she flew away at high speed.
Ruiko tilted her head outside the window, "Baby blue huh?" she said as she looked at Naruko's panty color choice.
"Saten-san!"
0 A Certain High School 0
Naruko made it just in time as she floated next to the staff room of the school she was going to lecture at and tapped the window.
A child size pink haired girl gave a gasp at the tapping turned to give Naruko a childish pout and an older woman in a green track suit gave a hardy laugh at the scene.
The older woman opened the window and Naruko jumped in and landed on her feet put together and her hands in the air, "It's a perfect 10 and the crowd goes wild~" the blonde said as she made fake crowd noises while she cupped her hands around her mouth.
"Mou Namikaze-chan, you really shouldn't scare sensei like that." The pink haired teacher said in a scolding tone.
"Why not? It was great, just like the last time, and the time before that and the time before that." The taller teacher said grinning ear to ear.
"Yeah, Komoe-sensei, you need a sense of humor like Yomikawa-sensei." Our blonde protagonist said.
Komoe huffed at the two and looked at the clock, "Namikaze-chan, you should get ready."
Naruko nodded and opened her bag and pulled out a pair of fake glasses, she really didn't need them but it just worked with the teacher look she was going for, an arm band with the kanji of 'Sensei' on it, and a retractable pointer.
She put her hair in pigtails and placed her glasses on and pinned her armband on her left sleeve. She grabbed her pointer and gave it a twirl and got into a cutesy pose, "Naruko-sensei is here, te he." She said with a wink and turned to the teachers, "How was that?" she asked since she had been learning poses from Misaki-sempai.
They both clapped and the blonde cheered as she grabbed her attendance book and started to head to class 1-7.
-In a Certain Classroom-
The rowdy bunch, know as class 1-7 were chatting it up while waiting for their lesson to start.
The slammed open and a little blonde girl, they all knew, had entered.
"Nami-yan!" They all cheered loudly.
Naruko puffed her checks, "It's Naruko-sensei!" she said in indignation, she had a degree (well in her field of study anyway) you know!
She spotted someone in the class she knew very well and did a jumping hug.
"Touma-nii~" she cheered and locked her arms around his neck.
Kamijou Touma was three years older than her. He had spiky black hair and was pretty ordinary, but he had the worst luck. Ever.
He also had a special power, but that was for another time.
The force she nailed him with sent the seat that was holding them up, toppling back.
"Gahh!" Touma said as his head hit the floor. After rubbing his sore head he looked at the cheerful blonde, "Hey Hoka Hoka (2)." He said while patting her head.
"Again, again Kami-yan gets the girl, when will you be satisfied Kami-yan!" One of the male students in the class stated.
A bunch of the other male students agreed with nods.
"Kamijou Touma, you will let go of Naruko-sensei this instant!" A busty girl with long black hair and a big forehead by the name of Fukiyose Seiri, the Iron Wall Girl said in anger.
"Curse you Kami-yan, getting Komoe-sensei wasn't enough? Now you have a loli ojou-sama imouto character!" A boy with short blue hair and closed eyes by the name of Aogami Pierce, the Fetish King said in tears.
"As expect of Nami-yan, she's crafty when it comes to sneak attacks to score points." A boy with spiky blonde hair and sunglass by the name of Tsuchimikado Motoharu, the Siscon Sergeant said as he threw his head back in laughter.
Touma sighed as he remembered the first time he met Naruko…Fukou da.
0 A misfortunate flashback, one year ago 0
Touma was walking home at night after detention he had gotten from his bad luck and saw a little blonde girl walking around. The clothes she wore just screamed Ojou-sama, a fancy blue blouse, white skirt, and black shoes. She was holding what looked like a bag of sweets from one of the local shops.
Now, one would wonder why a girl that seemed to be maybe ten or twelve would be walking around in such a dangerous area at night, especially with some shady characters already approaching. Touma sighed, looks like he was going to have to help her out.
He pushed through the crowd of guys and grabbed the little girls' hand, "There you are. You had me worried, thanks for finding my imouto guys." Touma said with an awkward smile as he started to pull the girl away from the thuggish looking group.
"Nee spiky nii-san, who are you?" the blonde asked as she tilted her head to the side cutely.
Touma froze in his spot and mechanically turned his head to the girl, "I was trying to help you and you messed it up!" the unfortunate boy proclaimed in slight anger that his 'perfect plan' was ruined.
"Trying to mess with us, huh you punk?" one of the thugs said as he placed a hand on Naruko shoulder.
*SNAP*
The noise drew everyone's attention and they looked at the snapped wrist that was once on Naruko's shoulder.
Naruko saw her handiwork and only said one thing, "Oops."
"Oops?" Touma said silently, "Oops!" he said as he raised his voice a bit, "How is this oops?!" he asked as he pointed to the wrist.
"It was a reflex." The blonde argued as she put her hands up in a defensive manner.
The pain finally registered and the thug wailed in pain as he clutched his wrist.
Touma saw where this was heading and picked up the tiny girl who gave a tiny squeak at being picked up and threw her over his shoulder like a piece of luggage with her head facing behind him and started to run. The thugs saw them running or Touma running away and started chasing them.
"Fukou da!" Touma shouted in terror.
"Nee spiky nii-san, why are we running?" Naruko asked in curiosity, as if not understanding their current predicament.
"My name is Kamijou Touma, not spiky nii-san and the reason we are running is that you had to snap one of those thugs' wrists so they want to hurt us now!" he stated with worry.
"Ah, I'm Namikaze Naruko." The tiny blonde said as if they were talking about the weather…wait! Where had he heard that name before?
"I can stop them you know." Naruko offered innocently.
"…How?" Touma asked with some suspicion, did she have some crazy Esper power?
"Um, what's the saying, oh! I can really heat things up for them." The blonde said with a giggle.
"Do I have to put you down?" Touma asked as he looked over his shoulder to see her face.
Naruko shook her head, "Keep running or don't, it should be over in a few seconds." She said as she took a deep breath and blew fire, but not just any fire, golden fire, from her mouth and it nailed the thugs chasing them.
Their screams of agony terrified him somewhat.
Wait! Gold fire, no, no no no no, he did not just try to save her, "#2." He said with fear as he placed her down on the ground.
Naruko giggled at him, "Thanks for helping me Touma-nii~" she said with a carefree smile…don't smile like that after just burning some people!
"Are they…" he trailed off at seeing the downed thugs.
"Hm?" Naruko said tilting her head, till she gasped at understanding and shook her head, "No no, I used a low temperature to only slightly burn them and long enough to make them pass out from a lack of oxygen." The Level 5 said.
That is still a scary way to take someone out though! Touma shouted in his head.
"Hey, can I have your number?" Naruko asked
Touma blinked at her, "Why?" Yes, why would the second most powerful Esper in all of Academy City want his, a no name level 0 with the worst luck in existence, number?
"You tried to help me, not a lot of people would just help a person they don't know. So you must be nice." She stated with child-like logic and a cute smile.
He couldn't really see the harm in it, so he shrugged and gave her his number while she gave him hers.
"Yeah~ I got a new friend~" the blonde cheered and did a cute little dance and Touma couldn't help but crack a smile at.
"Bye Touma-nii, lets hang out sometime!" she said as she started to raising in the air and flew away like she had jet powered boots.
Sure she may be one of the strongest Espers in the city, but it wasn't like she could get him in trouble…right?

"Oi Hoka Hoka, you have a lesson to do." He said as he got out of his flashback.
A flash of recognition came to her face, "Right." She said as she got off of Touma and pulled him up; seriously this little Ojou-sama had some major strength.
"He's right Nami-yan you should be teaching or do you just want to snuggle Kami-yan more?" Tsuchimikado questioned with a crooked grin.
Naruko blushed, "Mou Tsuchimikado-sensei, don't make fun of me~" the blonde whined with a pout.
Class 1-7 still didn't understand why the tiny Ojou-sama call Tsuchimikado 'Sensei', but they opted to keep the little blonde away from the Siscon Sergeant since Naruko was clearly imoutoness personified.
"Keep making fun of me and you'll get detention!" the chibi blonde proclaimed.
"I'll gladly have detention with Naruko-sensei!" Pierce said as he wiggled a bit in his seat.
"I won't be giving the detention. I'll get a fat hairy man wearing a leotard to do it!" the chibi boldly declared and everyone blanched at that while Pierce fell over and started to have a small seizure with fuming at the mouth.
"Well anyway," Naruko said ignoring Pierce's seizure, "I will be lecturing you all on Personal Reality today, so be sure to take lots of notes since I will be giving a small quiz afterwards so fair warning." The blonde said as she stood up on a shoebox behind the pedestal.
"Hai!" the class responded.
-After the lecture and quiz-
Naruko shuffled all the papers on the pedestal and smiled brightly at her 'students', "Okay everyone, were done for today, have a safe trip home." Naruko announced as she left the classroom first and everyone got up to leave too.
Naruko jogged into the staffroom and hand Komoe the papers, "I think they got the concept down Komoe-sensei, so the grades should be great." Naruko said with a smile as she stuffed her props into her Gekota duffle bag, but kept her hair in pigtails and slung the duffle bag on her shoulder.
"I'm sure they learned a lot from you Namikaze-chan, be safe getting home, okay?" Komoe said as she put the papers in her bag.
"I will." Naruko said as she waved good-bye and started to walk out of the building and saw her target. She jumped on his back, "Touma-nii lets do something fun!" the blonde cheered as she hugged Touma's neck.
"Naruko, get off my back!" Touma complained, but Naruko just wrapped her legs around his waist and giggled, "Never!" the blonde proclaimed as she snuggled in his back.
"Man, you really are bothersome at times." Touma complained as he placed his arms under her legs to hold onto her and Naruko let go of his waist and Touma started walking.
The girls aw'd at the sight while boys had jealous looks. What are they, lolicons? Touma thought
As they left Naruko started a conversation, "Those bullies still bothering you Touma-nii?" she questioned referring to the standard delinquents that Touma has a few run-ins at times.
Touma shock his head in slight amusement, it was more like they thought he would release the Dragon aka Naruko on them again, so basically he just had a few run-ins with different thugs then the ones from then.
"Nope, they fear the fire breathing girl that beat them last time." He told her and heard the blonde snicker.
"Good, cause if they mess with my Touma-nii then they'll get a miniature sun where the sun usually doesn't shine." Naruko said with a big smile.
"Since when was I yours?" Touma asked with amusement.
"Duh, you're my loyal steed. High ho Touma-nii! Away!" she shouted as she pointed to the setting sun.
'Oi oi, no need so such an outdated reference.' Touma thought till a thought hit him, "Hey, I am no one's horse!" he said in indignation.
Naruko just laughed at him, what happened to respecting your sempai's? Cheeky little Ojou-sama this one is.
They finally arrived at Touma's dorm and it was getting dark.
"The Kamijou Touma express ends here, all little Ojou-sama's collect your belongs and exit in a safe and timely manner." Touma said in a bored tone.
"Hai hai Conductor Touma-nii." Naruko said as she jumped off his back.
"Be safe going home and try not to hit any buildings Hoka Hoka." Touma said teasingly and laughed at the blonde as she puffed her cheeks.
The blonde clicked her heels, waved good-bye to him, and started flying away. Touma covered his eyes with a blush, "She should start wearing shorts or something, that dangerous to do Naruko." He said to himself while referring to her panty flashing while flying.

Naruko opened her window and saw Mikoto with a scowl on her face while wearing her green Gekota printed pajamas and holding one of her plushie toys. The door that had been destroyed earlier was now fixed too.
"Mikoto-nee?" Naruko asked in confusion as to why she was in her room.
"I'm sleeping here tonight, I don't trust that pervert." Mikoto said with a huff as she remembered what Kuroko had done to her today.
Naruko had a smile, "Yeah, a sleepover~" she cheered as she dropped her bag and changed into her orange polka dot pajamas. She hopped into the bed and hugged Mikoto tight. It had been forever since they had a sleepover, even though they lived right next door to each other.
"Hey, not so tight Naruko." Mikoto said, but Naruko just snuggled her more.
This was the person who she cared about the most, the one who showed her the light. The person she would fight till her last breath for.
"Geez." Mikoto muttered as she turned off the light and pulled the blanket over them. She hugged the girl she saw as a sister close. The girl she swore to protect, no matter what.
"Night Mikoto-nee." Naruko said with a tiny yawn and closed her eyes.
Mikoto kissed the top of her head, "Night Naruko." The older girl said as she too closed her eyes.

Ask Naruko-sensei~
"Naruko-sensei! What's sex?" Pierce asked loudly with a smile.
Every gasped at him for even have the audacity to ask a 12 year old that.
"Hm?" Naruko said with her head tilted, "I don't know." She admitted with a shrug.
"Aogami." The Iron Wall Girl said menacingly as she jumped him and started to beat him up, "Asking a little girl such a question, have you no shame?" Fukiyose shouted in feminine fury and the other girls in class joined her too while stomping on the Fetish King.
Naruko was clueless, but Mikoto-nee always said that if a girl was beating up a guy that meant the guy did something naughty.
-Tokiwadai Dorm-
Mikoto, Kuroko, and Naruko were having some snacks when Naruko remembered her lesson from earlier.
"Mikoto-nee, what's sex?" Naruko asked and Mikoto did a spit take.
Mikoto rounded on Kuroko, "Kuroko, what have you been telling Naruko?" The Electro-Master demanded as she went into mother hen mode and started to shake Kuroko.
"I-I didn-" but the Teleporter was cut off.
Mikoto threw her out of their room, "You're sleeping outside tonight!" Mikoto declared
Kuroko started to claw the door like a cat, "I didn't do anything! Kuroko swears she didn't!" she declared with tears.
Kuroko slept on the cold hard wooden floor the rest of the night while sniffling her tears.
