5: December 16th 12:00 P.M. Tokiwadai
"Sissy did you want to go do something before Uiharu and Saten come by to help us with our stuff?"
Kuroko was almost never that quiet, somehow knowing that well not be sharing the same room for the next 2-3 weeks must be getting to her.
"Well, there is that Big Hero 6 playing at the theater 4 blocks from their school. We could go watch that quick and then meet up with them after the movie."
"Are you sure we should go, what about our stuff it wouldn't make sense to do 2 trips."
"Well we can do what you did for Haruue by teleporting the stuff in."
Kuroko sighed heavily at the thought, for her it looked like much more work than she wanted to do for today.
"Sissy, I'll need line of sight otherwise the stuff would end up anywhere. Do you happen to have picture of the inside of their apartments?"
Luckily for her I did. My phone may not be as advanced as hers or Saten's but it did have a certain charm to it.
"Okay pulling up picture now."
As soon as the picture of Saten's place came up, Kuroko touched her bags and within 15 seconds they vanished.
"Okay, now what about your stuff Sissy, do you want me to send it over or no?"
"No, I don't have that much to carry so you can help. Besides we got until 4:00 before they get done with class to help us."
With that the two of us left. On our way outside the school gates we noticed hazmat crews beginning to setup outside the building parameter. Whatever that student did while infected with Ebola must be a lot bigger than we first realized. As the time passed on our way to the theater for the 12:55 showing Kuroko went into detail on why she and Uiharu got called into judgment earlier that morning.
"Bell ringing?"
Kuroko sighed heavily.
"Let me guess, from what Konori had me do it's probably a lot of charity work."
"Standing outside in the cold air taking donations is not what I'd call charity work. Well if you call giving away any change to charity work then you must not have that much in the first place."
"If the donations they rake in go to help those in need, like supporting the orphans at Asurno then I can gladly support it."
"You can but not I…"
There was a little bit sour a mood as we continued to the theater. Kuroko then started to hum a really familiar tune. I know it wasn't that song that him and I know but it was catchy. A good 3 minutes past before I started to know what it was and hum along, and 30 seconds later I started to sing it.
"Are you, Are you coming to the tree. They strung up a man who say they murdered three…"
When we saw Mockingjay about a month ago with Kuroko's friends Kinoho and Maaya from the swim team the song got caught in our heads for a good 2 weeks. Without realizing it Kuroko then traded off with me.
"Strange things did happen there no stranger would it be. If we met at midnight…"
Then both of us sang. "…in the hanging tree."
I Did not picture that we would be singing that song for another good minute until we finally got to the theater. The two of us getting inside with time to spare was a good thing. Until I heard the last voice I ever wanted to hear on a good day.
"Ohh, candy…."
As Kuroko grabbed the tickets I saw her. If Toma Kamijo was difficult enough to deal with on his own then Index, the Nun from the Church of England was nearly impossible. The long white robe of hers was the only thing I did admire as it stood nearly still while she loaded up on chocolates and gummies.
"Sissy…"
The moment Kuroko came up behind me was one time I wish in hindsight I could have dropped her. As that happened Index heard her and turned around.
"Mikoto, Kuroko?"
Next came the hug and boy was it tight.
"Index…let us go."
"Oh sorry."
With that she let us go and switched places with us so we could get popcorn. Not sure why she waited for us but after a good 5 minutes she came back over.
"What are you guys doing here? It better not be to mess with Toma cause he's had a really good last couple of days and he's not letting anyone wreck it."
"Toma's here with you?"
"Actually he's doing some shopping for his family. Bought me a ticket for Big Hero 6 and went on his way."
Well didn't see that coming, were at the movies with Index and she motioned for us to follow her to the theater. As she showed us to three empty seats we wondered just what Toma was doing today that made us trust her. While Index set up I grabbed Kuroko and pulled her to the door.
"Kuroko, can you get us out of here?"
"Sissy, I thought we were going to see this together?"
"Well I didn't count on Index hampering in and ruining whater fun this was."
I started to make my way out and I could see Kuroko motion for Index to stay put. We were outside the theater when Kuroko stopped me in my tracks.
"Look, I've had a really rough week and this upcoming separation is going to be more rough on me than you so can you please do me this one favor."
Well what do you know, her famous whine, not again I'm not getting sucked back into…she's not….I swear I'll….
"Oh, Okay, if it will appease you. But you have to sit between Index and me."
The way her face lit up with excitement made me tell that this would backfire for me. The two of us walked back in and sat down. It actually amazes me that in that next 2 hours we managed to have a really great time. The dog on that cartoon reminded me in a way of Kuroko not wanting to accept change but always being there for the good stuff. Now as we clued into the tale of Baymax in San Fransokyo, there wasn't a sleepy face in the theater. The whole time I just kept thinking of how odd would it be if someone had made me a suit to power up my Railgun. As convenient as it would have been not to carry loose change the fashion issue came into play.
"I could never pull of yellow. Gogo has it so easy."
Almost losing myself had Index wake me up the second the movie ended. We walked out genuinely surprised at the quality of the film.
"Wow, comic books are actually fun."
Index hit the nail on the head. As the three of us walked out we calmly said goodbye and walked away. By the time the movie got out we made it back to our room and grabbed the rest of my stuff it was nearly 3:00 as Kuroko was doing a final check.
"Sissy we have to give the head resident our cards for the room do you have everything?"
The one item in my closet of course I had to take with me, was the stuff that I left with Konori and she dropped off. Squishing it in besides my nightwear was hard but I managed to stick it in.
"Well?"
"Yeah, I've got everything."
My bag was all full of what I needed for the remainder of the year. As we cleaned the rest of the room before we had to shut it our minds wondered on exactly how deep a clean she was talking. The second we finished we got a good last look sighed and closed the door. The head resident waited for us in the lobby and extended her hand for the cards.
"Sharai, Misaka I trust everything is in order for you two?"
We both nodded and she looked outside and shot a nod to the awaiting crew.
"We'll see you in 3 weeks." She pulled out a radio and gave word to the school admins that the dorm was all clear.
As we walked back out into the cold a good dozen members of the cleaning crew entered the building and began to remove the lobby furniture. Our fearless head resident was barking out instructions and it wasn't until we cleared the school grounds that we finally realized what was about to happen.
"So Sissy, are you nervous?"
"Kuroko why would I be nervous, were just not going to be living together for 3 weeks, It's not like this is permanent."
"You don't know how long this could take, something could go wrong and put the entire school at risk."
"Besides if you're that nervous about me living with Uiharu we could skype every night?"
"Well Saten does have facetime so if we could..."
That thought quickly subsided as we began the walk to Sakugawa but Kuroko did have on other pressing issue.
"How long do you think well be waiting?"
"Depends on if we can teleport to get there faster."
"Not that far but I'll see what I can do."
With that we were flying once again, although slower than before. With Uiharu and Saten due to join us in a bit the question for her may be how long until she has to let go.
