Oh dear... I am not very fond of Yoshikawa despite her significant role and all the things she was important for... It's probably because I don't understand her way of thinking and have a hard time to get used to her. afer all She isn't a "kind person" ... and that way of thinking makes it hard for me to relate to her. I dare say i understand Accelerator way better than her.

BUT I tried to mention her and will try to put her into future stories :3

Malls had a bitter aftertaste for him lately. On top of Last Order constantly getting lost, he also didn't have any fond memories of any of the trips back home. Especially that one time. And today it was raining too. When he took Last Order's hand he scolded himself as overprotective, but decided that this was better than having her run off again. Also Yoshikawa had finally returned from the trip she had been on. He didn't really know where she was or why she was doing it, but she looked a lot more relaxed now that the was back. Right now she walked alongside Yomikawa and Misaka Worst, all three of them staring into various stores.

He didn't even know what they were doing here.

Suddenly Last Order pulled him to the side. The unexpected movement left him stumbling and struggling to find his balance again. Last Order was almost glued to a shop window where various toys were displayed. A second later Worst joined and out of nowhere two other people pushed and shoved to get a better look. He found himself in the middle of four girls who all kind of looked the same. And all of them were staring at the frogs displayed behind the glass. Upon further inspection he noticed that the two unknown girls were clones. Their numbers unknown to him but that didn't mean that he felt at ease seeing them here.

A fifth girl joined after a moment. She also looked like the other girls, there was just one difference about her.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" the familiar voice of Misaka Mikoto echoed through the mall. It caused several bystanders to turn their heads, but they quickly continued to do whatever they were doing after they passed of the loud voice as a quarrel between siblings.

Accelerator glared at the younger teen ager while he tried to find an explanation. "This is a public place, I can be wherever I want."

The Railgun glared at him. She knew that he was right, but that didn't make her any less upset.

Yomikawa and Yoshikawa had now also noticed the commotion and walked over to the small group of girls that all looked the same. Except for their more casual clothing and one of them dressed in Tokiwadai's uniform.

"What's going on here?" Yomikawa asked with a small frown.

Mikoto turned towards the tall woman, surprised to meet her there as well, but she quickly pushed the confusion away and pointed a finger accusingly at Accelerator.

"What's that guy doing here?! Why are they surrounding him?!" The girl's voice had a small hint of panic in it.

While the two Adults needed a moment to understand what the girl meant, Accelerator had already figured it out and sighed in annoyance. He was about to reply when Last Order pushed through the group of girls and stood in front of the Original.

"I relayed the news of the new discovery to the Misakas in the area, Misaka explains as Misaka tries to explain the discovery of toy-frogs behind the glass window."

The taller girl was speechless for a moment. "You dare to get close to him because of some toys?!"

Yomikawa cleared her throat loudly and was about to say something when Accelerator grabbed the collar of the Railgun and pulled her close. Of course she immediately felt threatened and released quite a bit of electricity onto the defenseless Esper. She was surprised when the teen in front of her suddenly let go of her and fell to his knees without even trying to fight back.

Mikoto was pushed away by Yoshikawa while Yomikawa glared at her and Last Order stared at her with tears in her eyes. "Why would you do that?! Misaka shouts as Misaka can't believe that you would hurt him like that!"

"He could have just shocked me in return!" the brown haired girl shouted back and crossed her arms.

"He didn't even activate the esper mode!" Last Order kept shouting. "You hurt him even though he had no intention of hurting you! Misaka accuses as Misaka is very angry." The girl's small face was red with anger as she shouted and pushed Mikoto backwards.

The taller girl stumbled backwards in confusion, not understanding why any of the SISTERS would dare to protect the person that had murdered so many of them without even a tinge of guilt.

"Why are you defending him?!"

The small girl in front of her was pushed away by the tallest girl of the group and continued to cry.

"You sure are a dense person. Misaka is impressed." The sinister looking teenager muttered. "It might be in our interest to get angry at you. Original."

Mikoto had decided not to feel guilty for the SISTERS existence long ago, she wouldn't back down now. "That guy doesn't deserve to have a peaceful life!"

The sinister looking teenager slapped the face of her original so hard that she stumbled to the side and almost lost balance.

"We don't hate him!" Last Order then shouted. "We all know what he did, but that is in the past. Misaka tries to explain as Misaka tries to stop crying."

Mikoto was silent for a moment, long enough for Last Order to speak again. The small girl clutched the shirt of the Railgun and pulled it lightly while tears continued to stream over her face.

"H-He saved Misaka. He saved all of the remaining SISTERS. Don't take him away... Misaka begs as Misaka continues to cry." By now the girl was sobbing and Mikoto still had no idea what to do. She felt like she had to comfort the younger version of her, but she was utterly confused as to why anyone would defend the white haired guy that was still crouching on the ground. He seemed to be alright, though.

After a moment the sinister looking teenager began to cry as well and cussed at it, stating something that it wasn't her own will to do that. When Mikoto was already trying to find some words of comfort she saw the number 1 rising to his full height. He took the few steps towards Last Order and pulled her into a tight hug. That action even surprised Yomikawa and Yoshikawa, but they both felt proud about it.

"Is this for real?..." Mikoto muttered silently as if talking to herself after she had watched the scene playing in front of her. This had to be the most surreal thing she had ever seen. The strongest of Academy city, the person who had killed over 10000 SISTERS, was hugging one of them in the middle of a mall while three others were ready to defend him if they had to. "This has to be some messed up dream..." She concluded.

"Forgive and forget might not be the right phrase for the situation," Yomikawa then muttered, the cheerful mood from just minutes ago completely gone. "But there are things that can't be changed no matter how guilty one feels."

Crimson eyes stared up at the Railgun as Accelerator slowly stood again. Last Order was still sniffling but had calmed down by now. He didn't say anything, could tell that she still hated him. He didn't blame her for that, after all he still couldn't even believe that all the SISTERS did not hate him, but he felt a weird urge inside him. He wanted to make up for it, apologize. Yet there was nothing to excuse. A life couldn't be brought back by an excuse. But what else was there to do?

Slowly he took Last Order's hand and walked past the Railgun, not bothering to look back at her.

"You said you will stay with Misaka. Misaka remembers as Misaka holds your hand tighter."

"Who else would put up with you, noisy brat?" He smirked at her and turned around. "Worst, we're going home." He decided. Not caring about the plans Yoshikawa and Yomikawa had. He had enough of the Mall for the next months. Every time he entered it, he got in trouble.

Misaka Worst soon caught up to them, leaving Misaka Mikoto standing at the window decorated with green frogs, utterly confused as to what had just happened. She decided to call it a weird dream and tried to forget about it.
