Chapter 3
Well after my desktop's hard drive crashed and burned I had to completely restart this chapter. So here we go. Lets try this again.
….
Touma was confused again. He wasn't sure what had just happened, but he felt significant pain in his chest and he couldn't move his arms because they where pinned to the wall by steel spikes.
"What just happened to me?" Touma asked dazed.
"Sissy! This troglodyte was about to do something indecent to you! I saw him trying to hold your hand! Surely you were in shock from his rudeness and didn't notice!" Kuroko Shirai wailed.
"KUROKO! LET HIM GO NOW!" Mikoto screamed, electricity arcing from her head.
"But sissy! You surely wouldn't WANT to hold hands with him?"
"Actually he is my b-b-boyfriend! So yes I would! Now let him go immediately!"
Kuroko looked at him for a moment, and recognized who he was, "wait, I remember you! You're the boy sissy had a secret meeting with! AHHH! SISSY! WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT!?"
"As it turns out, he let me stay with him so I could get out the rain. He is not nearly as much of a block head as I first thought," she said, "now let him go."
"Wait, you spent the night with him?" Kuroko screamed.
"NOT LIKE THAT! He just dried my clothes and made sure I had a place to sleep!"
"so he dried your clothes...with you in them?"
"Actually he let me borrow one of his shirts and some shorts," Mikoto responded.
"YOU WORE HIS CLOTHES! WHATS HAPPENING TO YOU SISSY? You've been corrupted by this neanderthal! Ill make sure he doesn't bother you again!" Kuroko pulled out her steel spikes. Mikoto promptly shut her down with a bolt of lightning.
"YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE! He is my boyfriend and you are gonna deal with it!" Mikoto yelled.
Kuroko then teleported away as Mikoto charged more electricity. Mikoto yanked the spikes out the wall tearing holes in Touma's shirt, effectively destroying it.
"What just happened?" Touma asked, still confused.
"Kuroko happened. I think she has finally lost it." Mikoto responded.
"Oh wait I remember her. She's the teleporter right? Isn't she your roommate?" Touma asked.
"Yes she is. Sorry about your shirt," Mikoto apologized, "hey, you dont have anything planned today right? How about we go shopping and I buy you a new shirt?"
"Well, why not? Sounds like fun. Because this one is done." Touma responded.
"Ok I'll go in and change into something clean. Ill be right back." And she ran off into the dorm. Touma sat down on a bench and contemplated what had just happened to him.
…..
Mikoto walked up the stairs concerned about Kuroko. What was wrong with that psycho? She could have killed him! I don't think I could take that. She approached her door and hear something from the other side. It sounded like crying. Here we go. This is going to be something crazy I'm sure. Mikoto opened the door to see Kuroko sitting on the bed, tears running down her face and a book in her lap.
"Kuroko, whats going on?" Mikoto asked carefully.
"I am lamenting my shattered dreams. My sweet sweet sissy, her innocence destroyed by that male vermin. Now we can never be together forever like we should be," Kuroko cried.
Mikoto walked closer to Kuroko and said, "Look, he is a really nice guy. And he has saved all our lives more than once. He is sweet and caring and I really care about him. So whether you like it or not, he is my boyfriend. And that's not changing."
"Well if that's what you want...then I guess there's nothing I can do about it. Nothing but cry over your terrible transformation," Kuroko said. Mikoto got a glimpse of the book Kuroko was reading. She could just barely see the edge of a photograph sticking out the side. She could make out a bit of short auburn hair.
"Kuroko, what exactly is in that book?"
"Nothing! Nothing at all! Don't worry about it Sissy!" Kuroko snapped.
"Kuroko. Hand over the book or I will zap you," Mikoto warned.
"NO! I CAN'T! YOU CAN'T SEE IT!" Kuroko wailed.
"I'm gonna zap you," Mikoto said as she built up a charge of 200,000 volts. She then unleashed it on Kuroko and she screamed in pain. Mikoto pinned her down with her foot. Mikoto picked up the book and opened it. Inside was a collection of pictures….starring her in various states of undress.
"Kuroko," Mikoto said quietly, "I want you to know that I am mad. You should leave. Just teleport away before I change my mind and electrocute you some more. I know you don't approve of Touma but he is a good person. I am going to change clothes. And if you try anything, I won't hold back."
Kuroko teleported away, and just before she did she said, "He isn't that bad of a guy. That's not why I don't like him. I don't like him because he is taking you away from me." and she was gone in a flash.
….
Touma was sitting on the bench in his torn shirt, when he saw Mikoto walking back, still dressed in her Tokiwadai uniform. "I thought you were going to change clothes?" He asked her.
"Well Tokiwadai school rules dictate that we wear our uniforms at all times. I changed into a clean one. Shall we go then?" She responded.
"Yeah sure. Where are we going?"
"We will just go to the underground mall. Plenty of options there," Mikoto said.
"Sounds good to me. Are you going to attack me halfway there or do you just want to hold hands from the beginning?" Touma said smiling.
"S-S-Sure! Lets hold hands!" she said as she blushed. The held hands and started walking.
…..
As they walked they approached the mall and descended the stairs. "OHH! That one! Lets go in that store!" Mikoto said happily.
"Are we shopping for me or for you? This is a kids store! There's no way anything in here will even fit me!" Touma exclaimed.
"Oh come on! They carry men's sizes too!"
"Really. I find that hard to believe," Touma said.
"Are you saying that you don't believe me?" Mikoto asked.
"Pretty much yeah," Touma replied. Mikoto proceeded to drag him by the arm into the store.
"Look I'll find you something great in here. Just watch."
….
After a few minutes of looking, Mikoto came back with a yellow T-shirt with the kill-bear logo on it. "Here you go! Perfect shirt!"
"Well I knew you liked childish things but this has to take the cake. I'm not going to wear that!" Touma complained.
"But come on! Try it on. For me?" she said with puppy dog eyes.
"Oh fine ill go try it on," he finally caved. He took the shirt into the changing room.
…..
Touma closed the changing room door. He took off his shirt and was about to put the other one on when he heard a whooshing noise from behind him. He spun around to see Kuroko Shirai standing in the changing room with him. "W-What?" he started before her hand pinned him to the wall covering his mouth.
"I need to talk to you. About her," Kuroko explained, "Now put on your shirt."
"You realize the reason I need a new shirt is because of you right?" Touma said.
"Yes, and I am sorry about that. But about my sissy. She seems to really care about you. And she seems to trust you. Trust is a funny thing. I am not sure I trust you yet. But I am sure of one thing. If you break her trust, if you hurt her, if you do anything to make her cry, I WILL hurt you," Kuroko said.
"Look, I don't know what you think I want from her, but I care about her too. She means a lot to me. Shes much more than just a friend. And I think you've seen how I take care of my friends. You probably don't know this, but I saved her life a few times. And I guess I got attached to her. I plan to protect her with my life. Both physically and emotionally. I have seen her cry and be in pain and I absolutely refuse to let that happen again," Touma stated firmly.
Kuroko looked at him for a moment, taking in what he had said. She had seen him in action before. And he seemed genuine. "Well then, I suppose I approve of you. I haven't seen sissy this happy in a long time. So I will allow it," Kuroko finally relented, "Now put your shirt back on. Though I have no idea why you picked THAT one."
"Well I didn't pick it. Mikoto did. Any idea why she likes stuff like this?" Touma asked.
"Nope none at all. But sissy does what she wants. Either way, I'm getting out of here," and she teleported away.
….
Touma came out the changing room wearing the new shirt. "AHHHH YOU LOOK SO GOOD!" Mikoto screamed.
"I look ridiculous. I look like one of those dads that wears a kiddy shirt to Disney Land when he goes with his kids," Touma complained, "we need to go to a different store."
"Ugh OK fine," Mikoto relented.
"Ill be right back," Touma said as he disappeared into the changing room again. He came out a few minutes later with his original shirt. "OK lets go to this store over here. We should be able to find something good."
They walked together and found another store. Touma went and found a simple button down black shirt with long sleeves and no designs on it. He took it into the changing room and came out wearing it. Damn he looks really good. Like. Wow he looks handsome. Yes, that will do nicely.
"You uh...you look really good. Like. Wow," Mikoto said slowly.
"Yeah, I thought you might like this. Though after that last store I wasn't sure. There's no ridiculous childish designs on this one so…." Touma said.
"Whats so ridiculous about it? I happen to really like that kind of stuff." Mikoto said defending herself, "Well lets go to the checkout. You can just wear it out. Wanna get something to eat?"
"Yeah sure. I'm kinda getting hungry after all the commotion today. Kuroko is a bit of a handful isn't she?" Touma said, "I think she means well though. Maybe you shouldn't be so hard on her."
"You don't know what she does to me when you're not around. She's a complete pervert. Lets leave it at that." Mikoto explained.
"Well then. Where would you like to go eat? How about that sushi place?" Touma suggested.
"That sounds delicious. Lets go!" Mikoto exclaimed. They walked hand in hand and found a table. They ordered several different kinds of sushi. Shortly it was delivered to their table. They started eating. Mikoto then had yet another brilliant idea. She "accidentally" dropped her chop sticks on the ground.
"Oh darn. Touma, I seem to have dropped my chop sticks. How about...you feed me with yours?" Mikoto said with a sly grin.
"Well OK then," Touma said. She really is pretty cute. "OK here we go. Open wide," He said. He began to try to feed her but right before he got the sushi roll in her mouth he dropped it and it rolled down the front of her shirt leaving a big stain.
"Oh that's just my luck. I'm so sorry," Touma apologized.
"Well its not that big a deal I guess. Just be more careful! And try again."
Touma took another roll from her plate and brought it up to her mouth and actually got it in this time. "MMMMM! That's good!" she exclaimed with some of the sushi still in her mouth.
"Ya know, Mikoto, I could have just gotten you a new set of chopsticks. They have a bunch in that bin over by the drink machine. Would have taken me about three seconds."
"Oh I'm well aware of that. But you see," she said with a devilish smile, "that wouldn't have been nearly as much fun!"
"Ya know, I had a feeling that's what you would say," Touma said smiling.
…
They finished their meal happily with no more incidents.
"So whats next?" Touma inquired.
"Well I wanted to go catch a movie but I'm out of cash. And my credit card is maxed out after the sushi," Mikoto explained.
"Really? What else did you buy? Surely you have more credit than that," Touma asked.
"N-n-nothing! Just silly stuff," she exclaimed blushing.
"Let me guess, a pile of Gekota stuff."
"AHHHH! If you weren't so nice to me I would shock you into oblivion,"
"Well instead of that, how about we watch a movie at my place? I have a bunch of anime and some of those crazy American action movies. Sound good?"
"That sounds really fun actually! Lets do it!"
Well there ya go. let me know in the reviews where you want me to go. not sure i want to turn this into a lemon. i kinda like the fluffy stuff.
