It was the next day of school and it was actually the end of school. Shido had used the training software which ended up being just another dating sim during lunch time and all his breaks. He didn't even socialize at all. His little sister had him working his ass off in the mission to save the world and save the spirits at the same time. What was the way to do it? To date the spirits… Yes… the job of Shido was to make the spirits fall in love with him, seal their spirit powers, and save the world from their destructive power.

So what was he doing right now? Well currently he was walking the hallways of the near empty school, though there were a few students here and there. A few teachers as well. But before this, he was inside the Physics prep room getting an earpiece from Reine. This also had a built in mic so he could talk and listen to the Fraxinis personnel. Fun right? Well not really. There are seven perverts on board so he was going to take what they say with a grain of salt. So, well, right now they were on test phase 2. He was going to talk to someone and make them fall for him… Yes. Shido… was going to be a stud.

"Kotori…" Shido called softly. "You know that I'm not interested in girl's right?"

"Are you saying you are a homo?" Kotori said teasingly.

"NO! I just don't have an interest in dating girls right now! I don't have an interest in dating PERIOD!" Shido snapped back a bit annoyed.

"Relax Jeez. You are 17 Shido and you don't have an interest in women? You do know that is silly right?"

"Yea well I don't… I don't know why, but I don't."

Kotori sighed softly and rubbed her head a bit. "I know why." She whispered to herself.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Was just muttering to myself about how much of an idiot you are."

"You do remember the punishment last night right?"

"You do that again and I will beat you within an inch of your life!" Kotori said, getting angry at Shido.

Last night when Shido arrived home, Kotori was back in her sister mode who was dependent on her big brother. So, after dinner, Shido punished her for all her actions in the last couple days with a flurry of flicks on her forehead. Yes. Flicking! He flicked her about ten times on her forehead after he held her down. After the flicks, he sent her to tickle hell and tickled her constantly with his fingers on her sides. She giggled and laughed through it all and actually cried! Of course she hated him for ten minutes afterwards but it was all good. She went right back to the loving sister.

So back at the party at hand. Shido was walking along the hallway when he was passing by his first and second period teacher, Tamae Okamine.

"Wait! Make her fall in love!"

"What?!"

"Quiet down you dolt! This is part of your training."

"I don't think so. You are out of your mind Kotori." Shido said walking away. Kotori began to yel land scream into the mic but Shido just ignored it. He was NOT going to make the moves on his teacher! No! He was already reluctant on doing this bullshit of dating dangerous beings, but making a move on his teacher?! That was crossing the line.

As Shido turned the corner, he smacked right into someone. It was the white haired female that knew him! Shido rubbed his head as he began to sit up, noticing the female.

"Ah, I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. Are you ok?"

The girl in question was laying on her back, her legs spread open a bit and her panties were in full view. Shido blushed a bit but then the girl just sat right up like some kind of robot. She just got up so fast it wasn't even like she got hurt or anything.

"I'm alright."

"Perfect timing. Why not practice with her?" Kotori said over the earphone

"Huh?" Shido said, in a gasp like kind of way.

"What? She is the same age as you basically so it will be natural and while she isn't a spirit, she is a member of the AST."

"Do I have to? I really don't think I'm going to do anything with this." Shido said softly into his mic.

"Quit your complaining and just talk to her already!"

"Say… I never caught your name… also nice clothes… where did you get them?"

"I'm Origami Tobiichi"… and this is the schools uniform." Origami said with her poker face on. She didn't even talk like he was an idiot either. She was just cold and emotionless.

"Cmon you idiot! Again with more feeling! You need to put in more effort! Jeez you are a lot of work!"

"GRRR." Shido growled. "Look at who is talking. You are lucky I am even doing this in the first place."

"Just do it and stop your whining!"

"… Well I don't know how."

"Shin, follow my lead." Reine said over her own mic.

Shido, listened to her and began to repeat after her.

"To be honest, I already know. I've known about you for quite a long time now."

"I'm aware of that."

"Oh? Is that so? How nice…" Shido said. 'How the hell does she know me? This feels so awkward.'

"It's nice that we are in the same class." Shido said. "Infact, I like having you in gym class with me too. I love watching you move about during those stretches. Really fires me up." Shido said. It was then he sweat dropped. 'What the hell did I just say?! I sound just like a fucking creeper!'

"Likewise."

'Wait… What? What the fuck…'

"Huh… How random. I also like to sneak into your locker and sniff your gym clothes."

"Same here."

'… What the hell…'

"Was not expecting that…"

"And why not…"

"Just surprised that we have so much in common, so do you wanna go out with me?" Shido blinked for a moment and turned his body and began to whisper yell into his mic. "That came out of nowhere don't you think?! This is a little sudden!"

"I wouldn't mind."

Shido gasped. "Huh?"

"I wouldn't mind going out with you."

"Uh… awesome! So… you wanna go somewhere with me?"

"Like a movie?"

"Ah…"

"I assumed you were asking me out on a Shido. Was I wrong?"

"No… that is exactly what I meant."

"Good."

'You have got to be fucking kidding me! Reine! Damnit! Now I actually have a date! GAH! Why didn't she bail me out?! I'm screwed!'

It was then Shido was handed something. Well, more of Origami placed something in his hand. Shido was shaken awake out of his thoughts of being screwed, and looked down. It was a picture of Origami in her outfit with her signature.

"What's this?"

"For you, since you like my uniform." She said.

Before Shido could even think… The Space quake alarm went off.

[[Attention! This is not a drill! There have been signs of an impending spacial quake in this vicinity! Please make your way to the nearest designated shelters! I repeat! This is not a drill! There have been signs of an impending spacial quake!]]

"Sorry, something came up." It was then Origami began to run off.

"Hey! Wait! Where are you going?" Shido questioned, his hand out.

"A spacial quake is about to happen at your location. At the High School. Come back to the Fraxinus for now. Ill beam you up here shortly."

"Is it a spirit?"

"Of course dummy. Space Quakes are caused by spirits. They aren't just naturally reoccurring phenomenon."

"Don't need to be rude!"

Shido was beamed up to the Fraxinus as the air above the school distorted then suddenly a spacial quake occurred, blowing up the area. He watched as the dust settled and half the school was destroyed, leaving his classroom half intact. Luckily, math class was destroyed, so that was a bonus. Unfortunately, for some reason buildings are built extremely fast.

"Who is the spirit?" Shido asked.

"Princess." Kotori responded.

"Her right?"

"Yes, the one you met a few days ago."

"What now?"

"Simple. You do what you were trained to do! Now go!" Kotori said and before Shido could respond he was beamed out of the Fraxinus.

"Damn you Kotori!" Shido yelled once on the ground.

"Calm down Jeez. Anyway consider yourself lucky. The AST is not designed for indoor combat, so as long as she stays in there, the AST won't be able to make a move and interfere with what you do."

"… With what I do?"

"You know exactly what I am talking about. Relax, this is what you have been training for the last few days. It's time Shido. You want to save the spirit right? Or am I wrong?"

'… She's right… I don't want her ever making that face again… No one deserves to be sad.'

"Kotori… Are you absolutely sure I can do this?"

"Of course. Relax. Just believe in yourself. I know that my big brother can handle anything that he faces. Plus you got the pride of Ratatoskr with you!"

"Uh huh…" Shido said, taking a step forward, making the fact known that he was not quite satisfied with that answer, considering the fact they are all perverts.

"Don't worry." Reine said. "Everyone is good at what they do."

Shido sighed and made his way into the school building and found his way into his classroom, which was half destroyed on the top floor. Yea… he had to walk up to the top floor. Fun. As he arrived, it was then he spotted Princess… the spirit he met on the Tenth of April. She then turned to him, her face showing the sad expression before he raised her left hand and sent an energy blast at him.

"AAAAH!" Shido yelled as the energy blast actually missed him and just destroyed a section of the wall behind him. When the dust cleared he raised a hand out. "Wait! I don't wanna fight with you! Listen to me please!"

Another blast at his feet, though much smaller. He took a step back QUICK.

"What's your name and why are you following me?"

"Don't answer yet!" Kotori yelled. It was then Shido waited for their answer, listening to the conversation on board. Apparently they were able to read the mental state of the spirits. Oh and now they had a choice of 3 different things to say. Just like a dating sim… and then they talked about the choices and why not to choose certain ones.

'… Wait… so I have to wait this long to say something? This is not going to work out at all…'

It was then he finally had his answer.

"What are you waiting for? Answer the question already!" The girl said getting angry.

"Before asking someone for their name, you should really give your own!" Shido said, yelling out the last part. The girl responded with a wave of energy sent right at him. "I HATE YOU KOTORI!" Shido yelled as he was sent into the wall this time as the energy blast hit him.

When the dust cleared, he held his stomach and coughed a bit, finally getting air back in his lungs.

"Well that was unexpected."

"Screw you. I could have been dead!" Shido yelled, grabbing his earpiece and taking it out, shoving it into his pants pocket.

"THAT IDIOT! Why did he take out the earpiece?" Kotori scremed.

Shido found himself looking down a ball of energy pointed right at him.

"No more games. Answer my question. If you do not, I can only assume you are my enemy."

Shido bit his lip before waving his arms frantically to wave off her aggression.

"My name is Shido Itsuka and I am a student here at this school! I've got no reason to fight you."

The girl lightened up a bit but she didn't remove the energy ball.

"Wait… this isn't the first time we met…"

"No… It's not. We saw each other a few days ago."

"That's right… I thought so… I remember you saying something rather… strange to me that day." The girl said, finally removing the energy ball. She however kneeled before him and grabbed a fistful of the hair on the top of his head, holding him against the window. He winced in pain a bit. "You said that you couldn't kill anyone and that you didn't come to kill me… and now I know that was a lie… why else would you be here?"

Shido looked at her, courage in his eyes. Shido was quite lazy, sure, but he was a very kind soul.

"Your face… How come you always look so sad?" Shido asked. "I'm not trying to do anything and it's true. I really have no reason to kill you."

The girl got a bit upset and angry. "Quit lying to me! Everyone single human is out to get me and I haven't done a single thing to them and yet they want me dead!"

"I swear that's not true!"

"You haven't answered me… You claim to have no intention of killing anyway… if you are telling the truth, then why are you here?" The girl said, releasing his hair and standing up a few feet away.

"I… I just wanted to meet you…"

"Why? Why would you want to meet me?" The girl asked suspicious.

"Because… Because I'm interested in you. It's that simple."

She swung a hand out now, slicing the remaining piece of the wall above his head, slicing it in two, barely missing his skull.

"I'm in no mood to joke around!"

"I know… and neither am I. I really am here because I am interested in you." Shido said, getting up now.

Silence…

"You wanna know the truth?" Shido asked though it was rhetorical. "I came here because I wanted to talk to you. I don't even care what we talk about! I swear! You could ignore me if you wish… but know this… I'm not like every other human… Because I'll never let you down." Shido said. The girl blushed a bit as her eyes went wide.

The girl turned around. "You said your name was Shido right? And when you said you were interested in me… Were you serious?"

"Yes."

"Like Serious Serious?" She said, turning to him now and looking at him.

"Yes."

"One hundred percent Serious Serious?!"

'Oh boy… she sounds just like a child…' "1000 percent serious serious!" 'Wow… That sounded so corny! Why did I say that?!'

The girl rubbed her head as she turned away again, before groaning. "NNNNEH! Jerk! Who would seriously fall for your amateur tricks! Stupid stupidhead!"

'Stupid head…?'

"But that was from the heart!"

"But then again… this is different." The girl said as she lightened up heavily. "You are the first human I've ever had a normal conversation with… and your knowledge on this planet could prove very useful. It must just work…" She said before nodding. "Yup, it's settled. This shall prove your usefulness."

"Thanks… I guess." Shido then had a lightbulb above his head. "Oh right, what was your name again?"

"My name… I never had one of those, but I suppose I would need to have one if I wanna find out why humans are so awful. Ok, so how about you give me a name then!"

Shido sighed and leaned against the wall, closing his eyes as he went into thought.

'A good name… What would be a good name for her…? Tome? No… Doesn't sound that good… Hmm… Mizuki! Nah… damn… a good name for her… How about…'

"Tohka…" Shido said out loud to himself. "How about Tohka."

"That… That sounds good." Tohka said.

Shido began to write on the chalkboard, showing her how to spell it. She did the same but instead of chalk she burned her name into the chalkboard.

"Tohka… now I have a name… I think I like it. Thank you."

"Oh… you're very welcome." Shido said. It was then a bullet hit a mere inch from his feet, sending him to jump backwards. He noticed that a hail of bullets were being fired at Tohka, in which just a mere shield around her protected her! For about twenty seconds, the bullets fired only to stop.

Shido got up from his butt and looked at her. "Are you alright? Did you get hurt?"

"No, I'm fine, though you should go. It's too dangerous for you to be here. I don't want you to get hurt. That is the last thing I would want. I would love to continue this conversation though but you should go."

"No." Shido said, sitting down.

"What?"

"I'm staying right here. Sit down. I'm not done talking to you." Shido said. Tohka just looked at him, a bit shocked. "You wanna know more about this world don't you? Then have a seat and pretend like they aren't even here."

"Alright." Tohka said, sitting down with a small smile on her face. 'What a brave human… courageous even when danger is afoot. Perhaps he really is different.' Tohka thought to herself.

The firing continued now and her shield was belted with bullets. However the shield protected her and Shido.

Shido smiled a bit. "So tell me, if you aren't human… what exactly are you? I'm curious."

"I don't know what I am… I don't remember really anything. My oldest memories are just fuzzy and distorted and I can't make anything out of it. So I honestly don't know what kind of being I am."

"That's awful."

"I suppose so. I just remember waking up one day in this world and then the mecha mecha squad was already there, attacking me."

"Mecha what?"

"Them." Tohka said, mentioning the AST.

Shido nodded. "I see… you must have been scared."

"A little but they were unable to do anything to me really."

"I can see that…" Shido said a bit softly. Shido sighed and bit his lip, knowing that this may be an opportune time seeing as she seemed quite happy actually, having a conversation with him. "Um.. Tohka?"

"Yes?"

"I wanted to ask you something… but it's kind of abrupt."

"What is it?"

"Would… Would you go out on a date with me?!" Shido said, his hands in his lap as he blushed a bit at how sudden he asked for a date.

Tohka looked at him a bit confused. "What… what exactly is a date?"

"You don't know?" Shido asked a bit shocked.

It was then however, Tohka stood up and blocked a sword of light! It was Origami! Origami is attacking!

"How rude!"

"Tobiichii?!" Shido asked in shock.

"Stand back." Origami said.

"So it's you again." Tohka said.

"I won't allow you to use him as your shield." Origami said, like a protective big sister. It was then Tohka grabbed her sword after tapping her foot and saying something like Sandalphon. Before Shido could react, he was struck by an energy blast from the sword striking Origami, knocking him unconscious.

Shido awoke in the Fraxinus's sick bay, staring up at the same penlight that he saw a few days ago when he first awoke on the airship. Shido got up and looked around, noticing Reine.

"What happened?"

"A fight broke out and Princess escaped, though no one was seriously injured."

"That's good. What happened with Tohka?"

"She got away."

"I see…" said, getting out of the bed. Reine followed him to the bridge of the ship and when he entered… he was welcomed.

"You idiot! Why did you stay?! Are you trying to get yourself killed lately?!"

"Hey! I thought you said they wouldn't attack inside!"

"I thought so too! Also what is with you removing your earphone?!"

"Because last time I listened to you I got hit with an energy blast! Plus, didn't I achieve the goals anyway?!"

"You got lucky this time! Just accept our professional help next time!"

"Ugh whatever Kotori. Just send me back home."

"Whatever." Kotori said, beaming him back down to the surface.

Upon arriving, Shido found himself at the school, standing in the ruins of his class. Shido looked down and noticed a piece of the chalkboard, where she burnt her name in.

'So much destruction… It's so… unreal… yet it is… and so was yesterday… This is no dream at all… none of this is…'

"Shido." Someone called. Shido didn't pay attention.

'I really did talk with her… and give her a name… She isn't that different than us… is she?'

"Hey Shido." Said the voice.

'I wonder wh—'

"Hey Shido! Quit Ignoring me!" Said the voice. Shido finally heard it and turned around.

"Tohka!"

"You just now noticed me? Wow you really are dumb."

"But… How did you end up back here? There was no alarm."

"Why would there be? You are the one who invited me back right? You invited me back for… a date I think. Yes a date."

"Well… I." Shido started to say but Tohka interrupted.

"Well it's time for that date! Let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go!" Tohka insisted, getting really pushy and childish with each time she repeated the same two words.

"Alright alright already! Jeez! Take it down a notice… also could you perhaps change out of that? Do you mind changing?"

"What? You want me to undress out here in public?"

"No!" Shido said, waving his arms around. "That's not it! Ugh…" Shido said, finally getting another lightbulb. He pulled out the picture of Origami and handed it to her. "Could you perhaps wear something like this."

"You want me to wear this… hey… What are you doing walking around with this picture?" Tohka said, narrowing her eyes.

"Stop asking questions and just do it!" Shido said.

"Fine." Tohka said as an aura of energy surrounded her and she got naked. Shido quickly covered his eyes as he heard the energy. "How is this?" Tohka said, twenty seconds later.

Shido removed his hand and he was surprised. She looked really good in it.

"Wow… it… its fantastic."

"Glad you think so. Now let's go! Time for our date." Tohka said, turning around and walking off. Shido just followed…

Shido was now… on a date.
