Mikoto turned into the back street and switched on her vampire speed.
"Wonder twin powers activate." Little Misaka chuckled.
"What?" Mikoto cocked her head as her face strained, "wonder twin… What's that?" She said.
The masonry surfaces, fire escapes turned to color filled bands. She was running near twice the velocity of an ordinary human being. Her eyes shifted, detecting movement of a black cat as it jumped down from the ledge and hurried away.
"You know?" Little Misaka spoke, "the old cartoon from America. One is transformed into anything composed of water and the other a beast" she acknowledged, "I was convinced we lacked a hook."
"What?!" Mikoto yelled, rounding the corner. The wind flowing past her, her nose sniffing, the smells of the alley.
"I don't want a hook." Mikoto said, breathing out an aggravated breath, "the second I figure out how to get inside, I'm kicking your ass."
"Ooooo!" Little Misaka grinned, "Batman and Robin?"
"Shut up!" Mikoto growled, gathering up speed down the distant length of the alley. She could make out that she was coming to a main road. The sidewalks were packed. A few automobiles were rolling by. A self-driving bus slowly past the narrow view shaped by the buildings.
"Take the following left." Little Misaka spoke.
She was standing up with her back straight, her arms across her chest. Her eyes stayed shut. Around her images displayed. The walls of the alley, she looked through mikoto's eyes. But, around her black and green images pulsed like sonar. Signals emanating from Mikoto's body jumped off the surfaces, went up into the sky. it fed the information back to Little Misaka.
"I smell them." Mikoto said, taking the first left. Little Misaka smiled, "that's my girlfriend."
"Huh?"
"Um nothing." Little Misaka quickly said as she turned red.
Little Misaka listened as mikoto grumbled, "that's my girlfriend. I can't believe you said that." Mikoto shook her head, a simple smile spread on her lips, "I will certainly kick your ass."
"I look forward to it." Little Misaka cocked her head, grinning mischievously.
"Next right."
Mikoto slowed, picking up the following turn. She pulled up, taking a long breath.
"Emelia." She cocked her head, placing her hands on her hips.
Emelia was standing in the center of the alley. Dressed in her military equipment. Tight. black formfitting, lightweight armor. A long black coat dropped to her ankles, wearing thick soled shoes.
"She looks great." Little Misaka's eyes stretched wide.
Emelia cocked her head, twisting her lips. She crossed her arms underneath her concealed breast.
"I wonder she's uncomfortable." Little Misaka nodded, "I mean she's got some nice boobies and they must be squished and_"
"shut up!" Mikoto growled, as her cheeks went red.
"I'm only pointing out." Little Misaka shot back.
"Wonder twin powers… Shut up!" Mikoto whispered, Little Misaka laughed.
Mikoto looked around the alley as she stepped toward Emelia. Emelia waited. Two-day walking vampires were behind her, standing by. they both were as tall as Emelia's shoulders.
"kinda short." little Misaka was quick to point out. Mikoto glared, her jaw muscle tensed. " I am little taller than them. What are you implying?"
" nothing."
One had deep brown hair that swept her collars. The other long wavy blond hair that fell down on to her waist. Both their faces were childlike. Innocent. The young woman with brown hair had beautiful green eyes. And the young woman with blonde hair had deep blue eyes. They both glittered. Above her hanging on the masonry walls of both sides of the alley. Two on her right, another on her left dressed head to toe in black armor. The three of them, lived in the darkness. They required the protection to survive the sun's ultraviolet waves.
"All five are mine by right." Emelia spoke, breaking through the quiet. "What is mine is yours Mistr_" she stopped herself, "mikoto." She murmured, shaking her head. "I don't believe I will get used to that."
She pointed out calling mikoto by her first name. "Supposing that I asked you to remain out of it, would you take into consideration?" Emelia asked.
"Out of?" Mikoto narrowed her eyes.
"Whatever it is. Kuroko is working. Uiharu is a little apprehensive. So…" She looked at mikoto, "will you?"
"Did Anastasia tell you." Mikoto lowered her head, crossing her arms in front of her chest, "I thought."
"Yes, she did. But." Emelia paused, "I serve you. You are…" She held her hand out to stop mikoto from intervening, "my mistress. I am a member of your house. And once you've taken my household. They will belong to you."
Mikoto sighed.
She understood what Emelia was speaking about. Mikoto, Emelia and Heidi had shared blood. Even though mikoto didn't understand. Emelia and Heidi had put on a little difference of opinion. During the engagement a certain queen was bitten by said couple. They quickly apologize and kissed Mikoto on the mouth. She understood little about it. Until she got back in Academy city and visited a certain café and bakery. And there was Heidi and Emelia. They surprised her with the news. All of this under the vigilant eye of Anastasia.
Mikoto shook her head, closing her eyes, "I can't I just…" She gradually revealed her rust colored eyes as they were becoming a delicate crimson.
"Just what?" Emelia said.
"I mean…" Mikoto paused, "you're older than me. I just…"
Emelia's lips curled into a smile, shaking her head. She looked at the five vampires around them.
"I'm only 200 years older than you. So are the others but that doesn't imply. We can't serve you." She laughed. It was a pleasant laugh, simple warm and motherly.
"Getting back." Emelia cleared her throat, her cheeks reddened. "Supposing that I suggested you not to become caught up."
Mikoto shook her head.
Emelia nodded, "very well." She stepped to the side, a little smile came on her face. "This way to the bakery."
Mikoto bowed her head, respectfully, took off running. Emelia and the others followed.
