Competition at its worst!

Misaki P.O.V

"Good morning Misaki-chan~!"

W-What was that noise? It sounded strangely familiar. Such power behind the voice as well...wait, what did the voice say to m?

Uuuu...morning? Is this...morning now?

I opened my eyes, the sun hitting my face. Stupid sun. I wish my brain washing ability worked on the sun. Alas, it doesn't work on the sun. Only humans.

I rubbed my eyes, and looked around...ooh! Darling is back from his mission! That's good~! I missed cuddling my adorable Darling in bed last night! But, she needed to be placed under surveillance after all, that stupid Level 5. I wish it was Misaka-san, but no. Its not Misaka-san for a change. Its her, Mugino Shizuri aka Meltdowner.

But my Darling is back so everything is cool~ He's like super-cool! He can even sneak into high level security places! That's his sleuthing ability for you! He's so sneaky in his way of getting into places.

My eyes then caught something. Something brown and has a familiar logo on it.

A bag is in his manly hands.

I recognize the bag now! Its the favourite restaurant we sometimes go to! In his hands...is a breakfast meal from our favourite restaurant. I seriously don't know how my Darling had so much time ability to get that meal.

But I'm glad he's back. Its been about...no, exactly a week since I asked him to do that mission. And today, is the day that he finally was able to sneak inside after scooping out the areas for a number of days. Its a lengthy thing, sneaking into a guarded area when there's a naughty person inside who's strong, but mentally unstable.

I sat up, brushing my eyes softly.

"Darling, how did your mission go?"

"Mou~ Not even a hello or something?"

I giggled as he pouted. He's such a cutie sometimes.

"Sorry Darling. Got a little excited about the prospect of the mission going as planned. Good morning Darling! I'm glad you're back!"

He puffed out his chest and smiled brightly.

"There!" He sat down, getting into the bed next to me. "Was it so difficult?"

"Nope~ But seriously, how did it go? Where you able to plant them?"

He nods and gets out a laptop as he gives me the food. I took out a burger and immediately started eating. My Darling is so sweet to me sometimes. No, make that all the time! He even does things like this for me.

But this burger, and I didn't even have to leave the bed. Breakfast in bed is the best~ I couldn't ask for anything more right now. My Darling next to me, this lovely burger, and Meltdowner being under our watchful eyes. All in all, these few minutes don't suck.

"Like you wanted Misaki-chan. All cameras are set up, and very well hidden. Even if they had someone who was a tech wiz, it would take them awhile for them to find the location of each camera. And even if they did, the cameras are programmed with a virus so in the event that they are hacked by anyone but me or you, they will cut off the signal and erase all evidence of where the signal was being transmitted."

As always, my Darling is impressive. Even if he isn't a Electromaster like Misaka-san, he has good hacking abilities. He's good with technology and can even keep up with certain intelligent people in the field of that certain expertise. He certainly is a good boy, setting this up for me. He's even been up all night, using his sneaking ability to get into their hideout and placing these cameras for me.

"That's very nice work Darling. I couldn't of done it without you."

"Hehe~ Thank you for the praise~ But Misaki-chan's cuteness makes it all worth it! But there was a close call."

"Oh? Did someone discover you?"

I asked with a hint of worry. However, he snickered and shook his head.

"No~ I wasn't caught. Although that AIM Stalker girl was wondering around. However, she wasn't using those Ability Body Crystal thingy's, so I wasn't found out. Plus she hasn't ever used her ability on me so she wouldn't know I was there. I mean, why would she use them when they are at their own base?"

He's got a point. She wouldn't unless she had a suspicion about it. But thanks to my Darling's adorable hiding ability, she was none the wiser about him being there.

"True enough~ But, I am glad that I found out where this place was~ Although that little idiot didn't have any necessary information for me to obtain with my ability. Hopefully, Meltdowner learns to stop her messing around ability."

He typed away at the laptop until about two minutes later, he stops and hands me the laptop. I looked at the laptop with interest...ooh, so they are set up after all. I can even see that idiot Meltdowner talking with her cohorts. All of the cameras are of different areas of that things base.

She intends to target me, but she didn't count on something. I have my Darling. She might think she's untouchable while having such an elusive ability. But my Darlings and my elusive ability is better than her own. He's so sneaky and can adapt to most situations. That's why, I have complete trust in my Darling. And with me, we make the best team. We control both worlds. The physical and the mental world. No world is too much for our abilities. Together, we are the ones who shall become the strongest couple!

But, it should have sound, right? Unless Darling forget to switch on the sound. Such a bad boy he is hehe.

"Does it have sound Darling?"

"Yes, sorry. Here, I will put it on right now~"

So cute. Apologizing for nothing.

I patted his cheek which he snuggled into. Fuee, he usually likes snuggling into my boobs, but my hand will just have to do right now.

"Hehe, you don't have to apologize Darling. I find it cute that you thought you had to apologize to me~"

"Y-Yeah, cute huh~ But but Misaki-chan! Listen to this! I found a cafe that sells anime shaped chocolate cake!"

Ooh! He's suddenly so hyper! But while he was hyper, I sweatdropped and giggled. Such a cutie with such a cute ability for loving anime. I patted his head as he whined cutely, almost like a cute puppy.

"So Darling has found such a place has he?"

"I certainly have! On my way back, I saw it in the window, but I didn't have enough money so I had to regretfully leave it behind. It was kind of heart breaking but I will go on. Maybe I could just go back there sometime and buy an anime cake...even then I like abandoned it or something..."

He mock cried. Poor Darling, having to leave his anime cake behind. I might get it for him later, since he put his life on the line for me, although I knew he would be safe. I don't have to worry about my Darling. He is the cutest Level 4 Esper, and of all Esper's as well! All of them are nothing compared to my Darling in cuteness!

"Here, I got the sound on Misaki-chan."

"Ooh thank you Darling!"

Darling put the laptop a little distance from us, and made the split screen go onto a full screen on one particular camera, the one of Meltdowner with her little cohorts. They seem to be in a tacky room that really needs to be built up, lots.

I don't know if its the girl in me, but those throw-pillows, are crap. They are all dirty and look like they have been literally ran over a number of times. And don't even get me started on the wallpaper, or lack of. Its hanging off in strips. Its all, ugh. Something I would expect from the Meltdowner.

[Damn that little bastard! How dare he skip out on the money!?]

Oooh! She's sure is feisty in the morning huh, that Meltdowner. Meltdowner suits her, as she will have a meltdown in the future, no doubt. No, she will have a meltdown in the near future. Its my prediction ability hehe.

"Misaki-chan, I know that Level 5's don't usually have such good mental states, but I think that this girl is completely nuts. I can imagine her going yandere for someone she loves. Possibly after they kick the crap out of her."

I had to mentally agree at that. I don't care if I'm a little mental, so is Darling. We both complete one another. We aren't as bad as some I could mention *cough* Meltdowner *cough* and some other girls...Railgun.

"Most likely. I'm glad that she wont be coming after you. If she did then I would have to face her in a fight for you."

"Hehehe, don't be adorable Misaki-chan~"

"Sorry~ I'm just naturally adorable~ But Darling...lets go over our next move concerning this person."

He nods and hugs me. I love a hug in the morning, although I would love a kiss better...but we haven't done such things yet. I don't know why either. He would make a joke saying "Why don't you just take control of me hehe?" whenever I leaned in for a kiss. But I wouldn't ever do that to him. Because, he is my most important person.

"Okay Misaki-chan, so what's the plan beyond spying?"

"Well, spying is the one that will happen in the near future. Then, if Meltdowner becomes more aggressive towards me, or plans an attack, then we will have to combat her. That means, either you and me, or I send some Esper's after her. Either way, it might turn bad if she continues on. But I don't believe that it will happen like that, unless she wants to start a war with me. If that's the case, then we will really have to see who's going to come out on top."

I raised my fist, my face scrunching up in anger. I haven't done anything to her, but its been getting more and more aggressive lately. Thinking she can even talk about trying it on with me. Clearly, she doesn't know who she is messing with.

"I see. But don't worry, even if she tries anything, then I will just take her out! Even if she's Level 5, she isn't going to harm my Misaki-chan! I will even beat her own Level 5/4 team with our own Level 5/4 team!"

I love Darlings optimism at least. Its endearing. But, he wasn't always like this. No, the first time I met him, it was completely different. He was different to the person I see before me.

That person before, had the eyes of someone who had given up on everything, similar to my own eyes. Back then...I wonder what would have happened if I didn't come past him that day? Would he...would he really just have done it?

I, don't like thinking about a world without him. I think, we both saved each other that day so long ago. I know, I'm better off with him in my life, rather than him not being in my life. It is something that simply fits together.

"Hehehe~ That's right Darling, nothing can stop our tag-team. But, I...Darling, do you like..."

"Do I...like what?"

I shook my head, my hair shaking as well.

"No, it doesn't matter. I was just curious was to what you was doing today."

I fibbed. There's no point in asking something so stupid. Even I can use my judgment ability to know that he likes being here, as do I. We simply just fit together. Like pieces of a puzzle.

"Well, I think Misaka-san said something about continuing our investigation. What about you Misaki-chan? Got anything planned today?"

So, Misaka-san has occupied some of my Darling's time huh. That girl is getting too close to my Darling and I'm not happy about something like that. Maybe, its time to tell that girl her place.

"Really Darling? Even though you've been up all night, you are going to spend the day chasing bad guys?"

"Yeah, I guess I am. I can't leave it all to Misaka-san now, can I? I wouldn't want to miss out on the action, especially if its action like kicking butt! But you never answered, about your plans today."

That's so like Darling after all. Always trying to help people.

"I guess I didn't. But beyond having one of the clique watch over Meltdowner thanks to your planting ability, I've got nothing too extravagant to do. I was thinking about going to shop for our adventure to the beach next week. Also, sorry that this mission kind of cut into our time and we couldn't attend the beach this weekend."

Yes, thanks to my selfishness, we couldn't go towards the beach. But we have planned to go next week. If I'm honest, I can't wait to see Darling in his tight swimming trunks...ooh yeah. Of course, I always pick out the swim-wear, which is very appealing to the eyes and shows off certain aspects of his body...ehehehe~

"Misaki-chan, are you okay?"

"Eh? Why wouldn't I be?"

He put a hand to my forehead, and breathed deeply.

"Your face turned a cute red colour, but I was wondering if you were too hot or something."

.

.

.

I'm blushing and I didn't even realize it! From ear to ear, a blush was formed. Even my nose has turned red, I can feel it. Its just the soft touch of his hand, it makes my skin heat up to a level where it turns red!

"D-Darling! I'm fine! I'm just a-a little hot! That's all!"

"Oh? I thought that it was something like that. If you are hot Misaki-chan, just take off the covers."

My face reddened even more when his hands pulled the covers off me, exposing my nearly naked body! My body is of course covered by my panties and bra but, they aren't something that can leave much to the imagination when it concerns my body.

A-At first, I would be super mad that he did something like that. But now, we are at a place that this feels comfortable.

When seeing my body, Darling's face turned red. It must be my seductive body that has made his body heat up.

"Darling, is that an adorable blush that has graced your face perhaps?"

"N-No!" He became flustered. "D-Don't be so silly Misaki-chan! I wasn't staring at your cute body or anything! I swear!"

I blinked in bewilderment. I never said anything about him staring. But if he wants to stare, then I don't have an objection to speak of.

"If Darling wishes to take a sneaky look, then I don't have anything to say about it, other than "Take a peak" ufufu~"

"M-Misaki-chan..."

His eyes ran over my body as I giggled. If anyone else, I would swear holy vengeance on them. But he, is a special case.

"Darling, like I was saying just a few moments ago, I am sorry about the beach trip. I know that we planned this weekend, but things got in the way and all..."

"Ooh no~" He waved his hand. "Don't worry about it Misaki-chan. Next weekend will be epic! Just think what we can do together! Swimming, relaxing by the beach..."

"...Stealing a kiss..."

I immediately covered my mouth! I-I hadn't meant to say something like that! But...I don't think he heard me. He is just talking to himself rather me right now. Hehe, Darling's concentration ability is limited when he goes into a topic of interest.

"Right!" He jumped up, and took out another laptop. "Its time for The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan!"

I tilted my head to the side in a muddled state.

"The Disappearance of...who? Has someone disappeared Darling?"

That's the only thing I can come up with. Unless, its something I haven't heard about before. Perhaps, its an anime or something.

"Ooh no!" Darling clapped his hands together like a child. "Its just an anime that I have gotten into! The next episode would've been released by now!"

I see. So even Darling hasn't forgotten about such things. He truly is hardcore otaku. Otaku to the end huh. But, that's who he is and I respect him for that.

"Well, I hope you enjoy it."

I offered with a kind smile. He returned the smile.

"I surely will! Say, want to watch it together? Unless, you need to leave right away?"

I put a finger to my chin, before smiling.

"I don't have anything that can't be put off until a little later. Sure, lets watch it together."

I wrapped my arms around his and snuggled into his shoulder. Even if this isn't my ideal situation, with watching anime, I am with my ideal man.


[2 Hours Later]

"Queen, your King couldn't attend?"

One of the clique asked me as I sighed. Keep your nose out. Its all that Misaka-sans fault. Thinking she can just suddenly become my Darling's best friends when her intentions are very clear, clear as day.

"Unfortunately, he is a little busy with Misaka-san."

"Oh, is that okay with you my Queen? What if Misaka-san..."

"Hmph." I scoffed. "I am not worried about Darling going to the small breasted girl. I am more worried about her putting him into dangerous situations. He might be a skilled Level 4, but he still is Level 4, not a Level 5 like she is. If she uses her endangering ability to put him into danger, then she is going to answer to me."

I crossed my arms, and looked around. The roads are busy, the streets packed with people. Of course, since it is early morning, people will want to use their shopping ability to purchase some things for themselves.

Myself, I have to get something's for my and Darling's trip. Like clothes, swim-wear, and other things for the beach trip. Its good to be the Queen sometimes, as I can have my clique spread out, and acquire the items that I need.

"Queen." One of my clique got my attention so I looked. The girl was pointing at something. "I know you don't like Misaka-san, but she is standing over there."

Misaka-san? I followed the girls extended finger...yes. Misaka-san is stood there, leaning against a wall near Crepe Rablm. She is eating a crepe looking smugly, that arrogant...I bet she's waiting for Darling. He did say that she and he would be meeting up today to discuss about a certain string of robberies. That's my Darling for you. He's so into the justice thing.

I grinned evilly. I got an idea. It might as well be now when I tell her about how she shouldn't get too close to my Darling.

"Come everyone, we are going to annoy Misaka-san."

"Queen?"

I shook my hand at them, and neared Misaka-san.

Once she caught sight of me, she turned away, disgusted. Hehe, such a fool.

"Miiiii-saaaaaaaaa-kaaaaaaaaaa-saaaaaaaaan~"

Poke! Poke!

I poked her shoulder while singing it out, but she didn't respond. What a cheeky girl. Ignoring me, like she thinks she is top dog. Time to knock her off her perch.

"Miiiiiiiiiiii-saaaaaaaaaaaaaa-kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan~!"

Poke! Poke! Poke!

"Go away Shokuhou. I'm busy."

Ooh, such a bland answer from Misaka-san.

"Boo, what a bad reply. So, what's Misaka-san doing? Waiting for her girlfriend perhaps?"

She did a spit take and looked at me with narrowed eyes.

"Don't even insinuate something like that!"

"I see. Then, Misaka-san is waiting for a boyfriend perhaps? Wait, to have a boyfriend, a girl needs to have certain aspects, which you just don't seem to have."

A vein appears on her forehead, as she clenches her fists. She's angry, but I don't care. Its funny really.

"I could so have a boyfriend Shokuhou! And yeah, I am waiting for my boyfriend for your information!"

...What did she just say? Did she, say that Darling is her boyfriend? I don't think so Misaka-san.

"I did hear that you do hang out with a certain Level 4 boy from another school. But the version I heard was, you are forcing yourself on this boy..."

"I don't force myself on him!"

I held back a giggle and looked at her with slanted eyes.

"On the surface, you are like a wolf, but you are building a secret gang, aren't you?"

"I have no interest in playing war like you seem to love doing."

I love playing war huh. That sounds interesting, but my ability to relax around her keeps going down and down. I got out one of my controls and pointed it at Misaka-san.

Click!

"Aah!"

She flung her head back and held her head in pain.

Of course, my brain washing ability doesn't work on her. That damn electro barrier around her messes with my tampering ability. I giggled and looked at the girl who is glaring at me.

"You..."

"You know, forcing yourself on a boy is just as bad as a boy forcing themselves on a girl."

"Don't talk like that Shokuhou! I don't force myself on him! We are friends...boyfriend/girlfriend. Oh, I forgot. You are jealous that I have friends and a boyfriend, while you just click your remote and make people follow you. Is that how you would get a boyfriend? Don't you ever get lonely?"

I shook my head. Why would I get lonely? I have my Darling, and that's all I need. We have one another after all. Misaka-san is just a little distraction.

"Nope~ I love my current life, can you say the same? Can you honestly say that you love your current life?"

"I do love my current life Shokuhou. And, I don't care if you are the most powerful psychic in Academy City, Shokuhou Misaki, known as Mental Out. I wont let you touch him."

Was there a reason she used my full name them? What a strange girl.

I pointed at her with my fingers like a gun.

"And I don't care that you are the most powerful Electromaster in Academy City. Misaka Mikoto-san, known as Railgun. That title sounds scary, but Misaka-san is like a kitten. All claws and no pouncing."

I then fired the finger gun at her.

"And if you attempt to take a step into my territory, then I will seriously be upset. Oh, also don't touch my Darling again."

Silence filled the area.

.

.

.

"Who?"

I sweatdropped. Of course, the idiot wouldn't know about it.

"Never mind Misaka-san~ Your brain power is clearly below my own~ I'm sure your boyfriend will think you're second rate if he met me~"

"S-Second rate!?" Her eye brow twitched, and she gathered her naughty lightning around her. "How dare you insinuate that I'm second rate to you!? I, am not a second rate girl! And I will prove it once my b-b-boyfriend gets here!"

"Oh, I see. Then, your boyfriend loves you very much then~?"

I snickered, thinking about what she said.

Her boyfriend, so funny. Thinking she has a boyfriend. What a naughty girl she is. She can't have a boyfriend, especially if its Darling. I simply wont allow her to touch him. I've not even touched him yet, although I've seen plenty of things, more than she ever will.

"Y-Yes! Of course he does! Ma...Makoto...kyun is someone who loves me very much like I love him! We are in a l-loving relationship!"

I knew she would be like this. Such a prude, so innocent in the ways of love. But Makoto-kyun huh. Has she been watching too much anime lately~? What girl adds "kyun" instead of "kun"? Usually, "kyun" is added when its fangirl addressing object of stalking, not girlfriend Baka-Mi.

"Haha, I see. I can't wait to meet this boyfriend of yours~"

"W-Why would you care who my b-b-b-boyfriend is anyway!? Just leave Shokuhou!"

I wagged my finger, letting a groan of dissatisfaction pass through my lips.

"No Misaka-san. Since you seem to have a boyfriend, I would like to meet him."

"Whatever. Meet him, I don't care. After that, you're gone!"

"Fine~"

I giggled but she didn't look amused. Hehehe, I wonder what she's going to do when Darling comes~? No, make that what's he going to think when he sees us together~? I wonder, what he'll say about the situation~?


...Ten minutes later, I saw Darling arrive. These last ten minutes were actually pleasant. I talked with my clique, while Misaka-san ground her teeth in anger. She's jealous of course~ Poor simple minded girl~

When Darling caught sight of us, he opened his eyes wide. I winked discreetly and let a small smile appear on my face, as I sent him a telepathic message, of course Misaka-san doesn't have the slightest clue. I find this highly amusing after all.

I didn't tell him about Misaka-sans little lie, but I told him about some other things.

He walked up, and immediately, Misaka-san stepped forward and made a bright smile appear.

"H-Hello, Makoto...k-kyun."

"What did you just call me?"

He was so shocked. Misaka-sans smile turned to a frown.

"W-What I always call you. Makoto-kyun."

"Eh? Since when?"

"Oh my God, sense the tone!" She snapped, but then reeled back and smiled sickly sweet. "S-Sorry Makoto-k-kyun, I didn't mean to snap. It was insensitive of me. Makoto-kyun, don't forget such simple things."

Her face burned red as she hesitantly wrapped her arms around his arm! W-What the hell is she doing!? That little bitch better get her hands off my man right now! I'm going to kill her!

"M-Misaka-san!? W-What are you doing!?"

"I-I am of course h-hugging your arm, like couples d-do together."

"C-Couples? W-We are a...I-I mean, yes! We are a couple!"

He sent me a apologetic look, but I smiled and winked. I know he belongs to me, and he knows the same. Misaka-san is just trying to step into my territory, and that's something I simply wont allow for as long as she thinks she can do something so silly.

"R-Right."

I giggled and moved closer to Darling.

"So, cutie. What's your name?"

"E...Eh..."

"His name is Yuuki Makoto, and for the record. Yes, he's a Level 4 and he is a great guy. So, go away Shokuhou."

She barked at me like a dog. No, more like a mutt really.

However, Darling looked at Misaka-san and pointed at her.

"Misaka-san, that wasn't a nice tone."

"Ma-Makoto...kyun! This girl, is my rival. Remember, this is Shokuhou Misaki, Mental Out."

I'm sure she loves introducing me. She does it at every opportunity.

Darling let a complicated expression appear on his adorable face.

"E-Even so, you shouldn't be rude."

"Makoto, don't you turn against me!" She barked, then sighed and smiled sickly sweet again. "I-I mean, you're right of course. I shouldn't be rude, it would be stooping to her level."

That's it. I'm not holding back anymore.

I moved to Darling's side, and reached out my hands and groped his butt earning me a cute "Eep!" for my personal pleasure. But Misaka-san didn't look happy at all.

"W-What the hell are you doing!? Don't you grope his butt again!"

"Why~?" I played it off with an innocent tone. "I quite liked groping his butt. Its so firm and tight. Have you not squeezed it yet? Or, don't you have the ability to squeeze it so tightly?"

"S-Shut up! I grope him all the time! I know every inch of his bu...body!"

She was going to say butt then, I know it. She's such a sleaze. Even saying body is bad. That's actually worse than saying butt. And saying she does it all the time, such a disgusting girl she is.

"Then, you don't mind showing me this groping, right?"

"W-Why do I have to prove anything to you!? Last time I checked, my relationship is my own business! I'm not playing your games anymore Shokuhou!"

"Hmph, then don't. I will just have to get to know him more intimately."

I sent a sultry wink at Darling who blushed bright red colour. Seeing that, Misaka-san frowned, and almost like a robot, she reached behind him, and groped his butt! He let out a surprised gasp, then she slapped his butt!

"M-Misaka-san!? I-I didn't know you were so forward!"

"Yeah, like that baby?" Was that her attempt to seduce him? That was bad seducing ability. Darling however gives her a curious look as she looks at me. "S-See Shokuhou!? Makoto-kyun and I are so close! He even lets me slap his butt!"

"Hehehe~ I see, such a cute display~" I wrapped my arms around Darling's left him, putting that arm between my breasts. "So, cutie. Does Misaka-san ever give you such good attention ability? I, could give you lots of personal attention."

"Piss off Shokuhou!" She yanked Darling away from me! "If you think about doing something like that again Shokuhou then I wont hold back! My ABILITY to stand you is decreasing!"

I tightened my fist and breathed out of my nose! That cheeky little bitch! She's making fun of me! How dare she!? That's something that can't be forgiven! I was going to leave it alone soon, but she has forced my hand.

"Ooh, cutie pie~ You are so delicious looking, I could eat you up!"

"I bet you could you starry eyed monster thing."

"Hmph, I'm sorry Misaka-san, I couldn't hear you. It must be due to me admiring my breasts."

BANG!

She punched a lamppost, her hand turning red because of it! Stupid girl.

"Stop talking crap you! Hey Shokuhou, I've got a question!"

"Yes, I'm listening."

I spoke indifferently, while running my hand all over my Darling's butt, discreetly of course. Misaka-san doesn't even see it, because she's so wrapped in thinking she is better than I am, when she really isn't. He's blushing at me as I chortle to myself.

"Are you really a middle school student?"

.

.

.

We had a stare off with one another. I pointed to myself, as a tick mark appears near her forehead.

"Hehehe~" I giggled cutely. "That's a good question. For the time being at least, that seems to be the case. But with my tampering abilities, just about anything could happen, you know?"

"Good point. But now, leave!"

"Nope~ I think I will stick around for awhile. Would you mind if I stayed with you, my cute new friend?"

Her eye twitched, sparks going off around her.

"H-He is not YOUR friend Shokuhou! He's MY boyfriend!"

"Now now. Don't be such a bad sport. Haven't you heard of friendly competition?"

"You're friendly now? Since when?"

She's trying to deter me from him, but it isn't going to work. I wont be bullied by Misaka-san.

"I'm always friendly to the cute boys. But this one, has caught my attention. Say, what is his ability Misaka-san?"

I played with her, but she didn't look amused.

"None of your business! I don't even know why you asked anyway. You'll just read his mind and find out yourself anyway."

"I could do~ But, I find it more interesting to watch you squirm~"

I pushed my body against Darling's body. He looked at me with a trembling bottom lip. Fueee, that's adorable Darling. There's no need to be nervous. Misaka-san will most likely give up soon.

"Shokuhou! Don't you press your meat bags against my boyfriend!"

"But Misaka-san I'm sure that this cute boy here would like my impressive bust, compared to your own. Like, are you an A cup or something?"

I retorted, giggling to myself wildly.

"A-A cup!? Shokuhou...you're pushing me..."

Her eyes turned dangerous, so I hugged Darling even tighter and made a fake cry.

"Ooooh~ Please protect me from the brute, handsome boy~"

"BRUTE!? YOU'RE A BRUTE!"

Misaka-san tightened her grip on Darling's arm, and pushed her half-assed bust into his arm! Darling let out a cute "Fueeee!" sound at the sudden contact. His arm, is buried in my bust, while Misaka-san is trying her best...awww, its so sweet~

"Ara ara, such an adorable reaction~"

"Shokuhou! You really don't have any morals, do you!? Touching someone you have just met, is disgusting!"

"As opposed to using your bullying ability to make this boy your boyfriend."

"I didn't bully him! Makoto! Wrap your arm around me right now!"

He looked frightened as Misaka-sans eyebrows twitched wildly.

"M-Misaka-san..."

"Do it!"

"Okay! Please stop yelling at me!"

With tears coming out of his eyes, he wrapped his arm around her, and pulled her close. Her face flushed as she hugged him sideways. But you could so totally tell that she is in tsundere mode right now.

She could be described as a tsundere beast. Hehe.

But as if Misaka-san is getting away with that. I also made Darling wrap his arm around me, and I pulled myself close. Darling's face went completely red as both Misaka-san and I are hugging him quite tightly.

"Misaka-san~ Doesn't this boys body feel the best~?"

"Don't you even touch his body! You aren't allowed to touch him!"

We glared, sparks going between our eyes. But then I smirked and grabbed Darling's butt! He let out a gasp, but then I saw Misaka-san do the same thing! Geez you pervert! I'm allowed to grab his butt, you aren't!

"Shokuhou, I'm saying it one last time...HANDS OFF THE LEVEL 4!"

"No~ I quite like this boy~"

She glared sharply, her eyes having some killing intent in them. If she tries anything, Darling will protect me. Then I will control some Esper's that are around and sic them on her.

"...Onee-sama...?"

Huh? Did someone speak?

It sounded like it was coming from behind us. So I turned around...

.

.

.

Behind us, was Misaka-sans little friend...erm...Shinai? No, Shikai? Nope...its...Shuri! Ugh! Why can't I remember her name!? Its because she isn't important to me...

"Kuroko, what's wrong with you?"

"Onee-sama...you're hugging King of damnation?"

King of damnation? What's that about? Whatever~

"Kuroko...what are you..."

"Onee-sama, be straight with me...and no jokes King of damnation..."

"Darn~"

Darling stuck out his tongue. That girl...Kuroko (whatever her last name is) has a blank look on her face. No, its almost like she is losing the will to live.

"Onee-sama...are you and King of damnation an item?"

Yeah Misaka-san. Are you an item now? Its one thing to lie to me, but to lie to your friends to try and get one up on me. Do you believe that you are going to win against me at something like this? This, is our new war.

Love.

Love is our new war. Its obvious that she has affection for him, but I don't think its love like my love. My love is vast, and powerful. My ability to love Darling is way higher than her ability to love Darling.

Misaka-san blushes, and nods! S-She's lying to her friends huh!? How cheeky of her!

"T-That's right Kuroko! Makoto-kyun here is my b-b-b-boyfriend!"

The girl blinked, in complete shock.

.

.

.

"...Uu..."

She put a hand to her chest. Her eyes look void of light. Nothing, is there. Like, her world has come crashing down.

"Are you alright Kuroko?"

Her body shook and she looked at Darling, then at Misaka-san, then back to Darling.

"King of damnation and Onee-sama...together? Uu...shit!"

CRASH!

She fell to the floor, fainting! C-Crap! She really fainted!

"Kuroko!"

While Misaka-san rushed to her aid, Darling snickered and looked at me while biting his lip. Even without reading his mind, I know what he is thinking. I heard that he had some kind of rivalry for Misaka-sans attention with this individual.

"Well~ I best be off~"

"...Good..."

She mumbled under her breath. I snickered and looked at Darling, getting close to his ear.

(See you later~)

(Goodbye Misaki-chan~)

Whispering that, I walked away while laughing to myself. I've done enough today to annoy Misaka-san. I love annoying Misaka-san~


[3 Hours Later, Julian Restaurant]

Mikoto P.O.V

"Makoto..." I began, trying to sound apologetic. "I didn't mean to use you during that little back and forth with Shokuhou. She just, pushed my buttons and I couldn't let her simply get away with that."

I clenched my fists tight and looked at the boy next to me. I shouldn't of used him like that. Although I'm sure that he secretly loved it. But that damn Shokuhou doing something so dangerous as to flirt with my friend when she has only just met him.

"I was like your whore or something. You, groping my butt and various places. That other Level 5, groping me. I was like a plaything to you both. I feel dirty right now. I'm not your whore!"

When he puts it that way, it makes me feel terrible!

"I'm so sorry Makoto! I didn't mean to do it!"

I bowed my head so far that my forehead touched the table. I then heard a soft laughing noise.

"Ooh no~" I looked up. He waved me off. "I'm only kidding Misaka-san. Don't worry about it Misaka-san. I liked being Misaka-sans pretend boyfriend after all~ Its too bad that it only lasted a number of minutes."

Of course the idiot would say something like that. I suspected he liked it. But even then, I did kind of put him in a position that might've been unfavourable.

But...

"Bakato! That's not funny! I thought I hurt your feelings then!"

"Hehe sorry Misaka-san. I couldn't resist."

I want to stay angry, but I just can't. He's an idiot, but a funny one. He's not my whore...hehehehe!

"Haha, I'm sure you'd do something like that Misaka-san. Putting Makoto-kun on the spot like that, how devious of you."

Saten-san...she's also here. By chance, we ran into her and Uiharu-san an hour or so ago. So we all went to go and get something to eat. But even though its been sometime since meeting Shokuhou, Kuroko hasn't snapped out of what she was in.

Usually, I would say this is good for Kuroko, but she is just so...distant right now. Like, nothing could reach her at all. She has a blank look on her face, and even no light in her eyes. Its kind of frightening actually. I think that me saying Makoto was my boyfriend has killed her brain. Surely, it will be missed...

But since they are here, Makoto and I can't talk about what we met up to talk about. Talk about circumstances ruining our time together...our planning of our next move. Usually, Kuroko is hanging around, but I thought she was busy today...I guess she stopped her plans when she found out about us meeting up or something.

"I-I didn't have a choice! Circumstances demanded I take action! So I did and here we are."

A coy smile graces Saten-sans lips.

"Aaaaah, I see Misaka-san. But moving swiftly onto another topic, did you hear about that rumour of someone gaining Levels so quickly?"

"Gaining Levels so quickly? What do you mean Saten-san?"

I questioned as Makoto nodded as did Uiharu-san. Kuroko...she's pretty much dead to the world.

"Well, there's a rumour about something called "Level Upper". Have you heard of it?"

What is this "Level Upper"? I've never heard of it before? Is it some kind of new band or something?

"Level Upper?" Makoto queried. "Is that something that can make Esper's abilities increase? That's my educated guess anyway."

"Right you are Makoto-kun! Its said that you can really increase your Level! That would be wonderful for a Level 0 like me! I could become someone like Shirai-san, Misaka-san or Makoto-kun. All three of them are amazing Esper's and I'm stuck at Level 0..."

She trailed off, looking sad. I shared a look with Makoto who looked on sadly as well. We've talked about it before, Makoto and I about Saten-san. She's...becoming increasingly obsessed with gaining a higher Level. Personally, I don't think its healthy to be so obsessed, and he agrees with me. But we don't really know how to approach the subject without coming off as snooty Level 4's and 5's.

"Saten-san..."

Uiharu-san called out, but Saten-san shook her head.

"No! It doesn't matter! I just thought it would be kind of cool if that existed. But its just an urban legend after all. But there are other urban legends that are pretty interesting."

"Oh? Like what Saten-san?"

When Makoto asked, she winked.

"Lots! Like the haunted toilet that's said if you use it, it devours your soul. Or, the rumour of a Level 4 and 5 that are a deadly combo saying together they destroy your body and mind then they destroy your very soul!"

"Pft!"

The idiot guy did a spit take next to me. Why did he do something like that? Its not like its him or anything. As far as I am aware, he only officially met that thing this morning. Its strange, but I wont comment on it.

"W-W-What a ridiculous rumour! Right Misaka-san!?"

"Yeah, sounds stupid. Although that Level 5 could be that idiot Shokuhou. It sounds right down her alley to do something like that..."

Everyone looked at me strangely, so I shoved some food into my mouth and just looked away. I don't have an obsession with her!

"Anyway." Saten-san sweatdropped. "What were you and Makoto-kun doing together anyway?"

"Well..."

Damn it, I can't say we were doing an investigation. Thank you Shokuhou. Once again, you've caused me to miss out on my day. You've ruined it, like pretty much everything you touch. Sometimes that woman...that thing gets under my skin and I just need to fire off some electricity!

"We were going on a date."

"Bakato!"

THWACK!

"Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Misaka-saaaaaaaaaaaaan! Why are you hitting me!?"

"Don't lie so stupidly! We were just having a day together! Not a date! Just a simple day out! Nothing more!"

He cried as Saten-san released a breath of relief for some reason...? Why breath like that?

"Ooh, that's good...I mean that its good that the days nice! Ehehehe! Yeah! Lovely day! Such sunshine!"

She grinned ear to ear. But she was sweating quite a lot. It was a nervous sweat.

"By the way Saten-san, how's your ankle?"

Makoto with concern asked. Saten-san smiled and gestured to her foot.

"Its nearly healed! I can pretty much move around on my own, but I can't put so much weight on it. So, that's why I have these crutches." She gestured to the crutches with a happy smile. "Thank you for asking Makoto-kun! Its really sweet!"

"No no~ I'm naturally sweet~ But kidding aside, I'm glad that you are getting better."

"Y-Yes, thanks to you."

He stuck out his hand as she gained a blush.

"Now now~ Don't go into it again~ I'll save you anytime, just call me."

"B-But, I don't have your number..."

Ooh no! She's going to get his number and then they will fall in love and then I'll be left alone with Kuroko! Don't leave with her! If they start dating, I've only got Kuroko left and I don't want Kuroko! Not in that way anyway! She's too scary for me!

"Ooh right! Of course! Have my number Saten-san!"

So, they exchanged numbers as I looked at Kuroko. She is still pretty much out of it.

"Cool, I will message you tonight~"

No don't! I can't be lumbered with Kuroko! I seriously can't! Noooooo! Please!

Uiharu-san stood up, and bowed to Makoto who tilted his head to the side.

"What are you doing Eriharu-san..."

"Uiharu-san."

Correcting him myself, he beamed at her.

"Of course, Uiharu-san. Is there something I've done to deserve a bow?"

"N-No but! Yuuki-san! Please tell me your ability!"

Makoto giggled at Uiharu-san. Yeah, she's been like obsessed to know what it is. Apparently, she can't find out about it. I don't know how that happened, but she can't find out. I already know what his ability is, but I wont tell her, for privacies sake.

"Ohh Uihaku...Uiharu-san. You really are getting impatient aren't you? Is it, because I'm like a mystery or something?"

Hey, he corrected himself there. Well done Bakato. You can improve. You can teach a young dog new tricks hehe.

"Yes! I'm sorry if I sound so forward, but I have been wracking my brain. And there are several abilities that could be matched up against the one you possess. There's Telekinesis, there's also..."

"Yeah yeah~ Uiharu-san~ If you tell me something embarrassing about Shirai, then I might just tell you what my ability is."

E-Embarrassing about Kuroko?

"E-Embarrassing to Shirai-san?"

"Yes, you know. Something I can use against her if she attacks me today."

"E-Eh...I can think of one, but I don't know if its incriminating or anything. But I will tell it you."

She moved around, and started to whisper in his ear. When hearing it, he gained a wide smirk directed at Kuroko.

As she did that, Kuroko's eyes gained a shine to them...ooh, she's back now.

"Is someone talking about me?" She looked around, and then her eyes fell on me. "Onee-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" She hugged me tightly! "Onee-sama! I had a nightmare where you and King of damnation were together! You were hugging him and then you almost kissed him! Even groping his ass Onee-sama! You groped him and then I saw bright lights! I think I was on the verge of death! B-But I was saved by Onee-sama's brightness!"

Okay, I can handle this...

.

.

.

Oh who am I kidding!?

"GET OFF ME!"

SHOCK!

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The smoking body of Kuroko was thrown to the ground mercilessly. I am not happy with her. Or Saten-san for some reason. My blood is boiling angrily. Why do I feel like this? Ugh, its because of Shokuhou. For one, she touched my friend. And she has the cheek to say things about my and his relationship? I'm shocked she didn't use her disgusting ability on him to make him more suggestible or something.

"Onee-sama..."

"Ooh Shirai, you're awake?"

Kuroko shot up, and glared at Makoto who has finished listening to Uiharu-san.

"King of damnation! Even in my nightmares, you are after Onee-sama! Even being her b-boyfriend!? That's crap!"

"In your nightmares? What do you mean? I am Misaka-sans boyfriend."

He adopts a shit eating grin at the perverted girl. Said girl looked at me with wide, teary eyes.

"Onee-sama...is this true?"

Ugh...why put me in positions like this!? It makes me feel like crap!

"...Yes, its true. Makoto is my boyfriend."

I went along with it for the giggles.

Her eyes went dark, her vision looks like its going. Her eyes flicker open and closed.

"...Uu..."

Her body shook, and her eyes kept opening and closing. She looks like her world has come crashing all around her. She placed a hand on her forehead, and then she placed her head on the table, and hugged it.

"Yuuki and Onee-sama together? Uu...shit!"

She fainted! I-Is it so bad that I could be with Makoto!? T-That's really scary!

"Hahahaha! Man that never gets old~"

"I would have to agree Makoto-kun! But, you aren't like interested...no, never mind~"

He's not interested in what exactly?

"Oh, what's wrong Saten-san? What was you saying?"

"O-Oh! Nothing at all! Ehehehe! I was just saying, we should all spend the day together! Unless you aren't interested or anything!"

Makoto and I shared a look before sighing. We are never going to be able to work on our problem!

""Sure! Lets spend the day together!""

We couldn't say anything else. We couldn't deny Saten-san. They might think something is up. Well, whatever. We will just have to meet up tomorrow or something...


[Nighttime]

Ruiko P.O.V

"Yuuki-san still didn't tell me his ability..."

"Ooh Uiharu. Don't be such a prude. He'll tell you eventually."

Sighing to Uiharu, I continued using these damn crutches to move around. But, I would rather use these crutches to move around than the alternative, death. That is what it would've been, but thankfully it isn't and now I'm cool, for the most part.

"I guess so. But Misaka-san and Yuuki-san seemed really close today, didn't they?"

She made a comment like that. But yeah, she's right. They did seem close. Well, they have been friends longer than I have with him. Really, I've only seen him a handful of times.

"I...I guess so."

"Saten-san, you also seemed to be getting along better with him."

"Y-Yeah! I guess you're right! But, I'm not Misaka-san. She is a Level 5, and I'm a Level 0. I'm sure that he will go for Misaka-san in the end. She's a prize for any man, or Shirai-san."

I gave a hollow laugh. Yeah, Makoto-kun will be interested in Misaka-san. She's got beauty, grace, has a mean killer power and can pretty much do most things she wants. She is known as the Railgun after all.

"Saten-san..."

"No! Don't worry Uiharu, I'm fine. I just wish, sometimes that I had powers like Misaka-san, or Shirai-san. They seem to have such adventures. Even you Uiharu, you help people in Judgment. I couldn't do something like that."

"But that doesn't matter."

"Yeah...it doesn't matter."

It does matter. They all have something that makes them unique, something that makes them special. But, I don't have anything like that. I don't have an ability, I'm not super intelligent like Uiharu. I'm just...a normal person.

"Saten-san, there's no need to feel so down you know? I'm sure that Yuuki-san..."

"I-It hasn't gotten anything to do with Makoto-kun! It really hasn't!"

[Makoto-kun's messaging~ Makoto-kun's messaging~]

My phone went off. Yeah, that's my personal message alarm for him. Its his voice, and everything. I did the same to his phone. Apparently, he said that if you record your voice on your friends phone and set them for your ring-tones and message-tones then that means you are going to be friends for a long time.

"Saten-san has mail~!"

"Geez Uiharu, its my phone. Not yours."

"But, its from Yuuki-san! I'm sure that he will make you feel happier, because you have a crush on him!"

"Pft!" I did a spit take! Me, a crush on him!? We are friends! "D-Don't be so stupid Uiharu! Why do you keep saying something like that!? He isn't someone I think about like that!"

"Hehe~ Its because Saten-san likes Yuuki-san, that's why I keep saying it. There's no shame, you know?"

I shook my head and looked at my phone...

[Great day Saten-san! Lets meet up again soon! And don't worry about your ability, you'll get it down eventually! TTFN!]

I smiled. Using something like TTFN, its so silly. But he told me to not worry about my ability. Its easy for him to say...all of them can say things like that. But I don't have one...I don't have an ability and I can't do amazing things like them...

"So, what's TTFN?"

"Its ta-ta for now. But more importantly... Why are you reading my messages!?"

I placed it in my pocket and glared.

"I was just wondering what love message you and Yuuki-san send one another~"

"Uiharu, I didn't peg you to be the type to tease others about things like this. I haven't noticed it before, but you really are a devious person, aren't you? Admit it Uiharu!"

I teased but my thoughts were drawn to something else. Makoto-kun is a high Level Esper. And I'm sure that he would like a high Level Esper girlfriend. If that's the case, then I will have to raise my Level. To do that...the Level Upper.

Yes, I can use the Level Upper to raise my Level, then maybe he might want to hang out with me more than we do now. Maybe...we could even get to know one another better than we do now...maybe we could protect the innocents of this city together, like he and Misaka-san do together.

That's it! I will find the Level Upper and use it, whatever it is, so I can attain a higher Level! Then, Makoto-kun and I can...I'm sure that's what he would want. Like he likes Misaka-san. If I become a stronger Esper, then he might notice me as well.


End chapter! Some stuff happened in this chapter, mainly Meltdowner going for Misaki and mentions of the Level Upper which means that the story is going to go in that direction, but it will be a little different to the anime/manga mainly because Makoto is involved and maybe some other characters as well.

By popular demand, Kuroko, Ruiko, Frenda and Kaori are the ones that are in the harem! Yay for them I guess! Thank you everyone for voting!

Anyway! Here's the harem and its set in stone, but I am open to arguments about adding additional characters (even gender benders are okay with me) but there wont be no more than eight girls.

Now, for the harem list in no particular order~

Makoto: Mikoto, Misaki, Ruiko, Kuroko, Frenda, Kaori.

And, that's it! Thank you for reading! Until next time were it heats up a little!
