I am so happy that everyone liked last chapter. It makes me feel so good. I noticed many of you could not believe how quickly I am writing, so I feel like I need to give some kind of response to that. I have most of the story, up to chapter 34 saved and completed. But everyday I go through and change bits and peices of it based on the reviews that i receive. Currently the document sits at 164 pages in length. That is by far the longest story I have ever written (it is the third story i have written, but the first on this site.) That is how I am able to get chapters up so quickly. But the changes I do make over time do add up, like this chapter for example. It was half the lenght it currently is until i started tinkering with it. Another question i noticed is if I will be involving the magic arcs in this story. My answer is a little complicated so I will try my best to explain. The Railgun story arc never truly went into a magic arc so if I was to follow that then its a no, but I am not following that arc alone. I have come up with a weird timeline with the Railgun S series, and The index2 series are right after each other. So yes I will be including some magic arc storylines, but not many. I want to keep Mikoto as the focus of the story. Another thing i noticed is everyone saying they like the "Poem" at the end. Now I am glad you all thought it was a poem, but It was actually a part of a song. I will be leaving stuff like that at the end of each chapter, and they may have some relevance to the rest of the story in some way. Also I need more answers to my question! Should I include a chapter way later on that has Mikoto and Touma finally having sex? Im not planning on it happening randomly, but a slow progression to it, and yes I have Mikoto set as 15 years old, in her final year of middle school, as she has only the winter and spring part of her final year left to take. If nobody wants the sex scene, i can make a skip around it but i need answers. So at that I leave you all to enjoy this chapter and to have a good time!
It had only been a week later that the next event happens to the group, one that will begin a huge chain events that will forever change Mikotos life. It all starts in the Tokiwadai Library. Mikoto had just finished talking to Kongou and her friends, Shokuhou Misaki being one of the topics of their talk. Evidently the other level 5 had overheard and was not that happy about it. After Kongou and the others leave, she walks over to where Mikoto was sitting.
"Hello Misaka!" She says in her sweetest tone. When Mikoto continues to ignore her she presses again, " Hellllooooooo Misaka!" as she presses her fingers into Mikotos shoulder. This finally gets a response from Mikoto.
"No talking in the library," Mikoto responds, her voice filled with her annoyance.
"Oh come on, you were just talking to your friends. You know, I have to wonder if you just dont like talking to me," Misaki responds.
"Are you trying to start something?" Mikoto asks, seeing that Misaki has a reason to pester her.
"Oh but why would I try to do that, after all, fighting you alone would be such a terrible idea," Misaki responds, activating her ability. Immediately Mikoto feels a sharp spike of pain as her own ability deflects Misaki's and as a spark flys between them,
"Misaki!" Mikoto yells out, now beginning to get angry. Then she notices the rest of Misakis plan. She wasnt trying to hurt Mikoto, but threaten her. This was evident by the fact that every Tokiwadai student in the library was now under Misaki's control.
"But I dont even think you can take on this many of our finely trained Classmates," Misaki finishes.
Wait! She doesnt remember when she pushed me to level 6! That could be of an advantage to me right now.
"What do you want Misaki?" Mikoto asks.
"For you to understand that you have to be careful of the friends you make, as if in make your way into my territory, you will pay," Misaki states, making a gun symbol with her hands. Mikoto smiled at this, and then gave Misaki a shock of her own. She uses her ability to transport herself directly behind Misaki and whispers in her ear, "Like Im actually afraid of that any longer. You have no idea how much stronger I have actually become." She transports herself outside of the building the moment after saying that, leaving Misaki to stand in shock at the new ability Mikoto had shown off. But Miktoos movements were not missed by everyone, as she doesnt even get a chance to walk away properly before something else happens.
"Hello Sissy!" Kuroko yells out as she teleports in and tackles Mikoto.
"Kuroko!"
"Come on sissy! Ruiko and Uiharu are waiting for us in the park!"
"Then lets not keep them waiting any longer."
(at the park with everyone present)
"Ruiko!" Uiharu yells out, suffering again from another one of Ruikos upskirts.
"Hey i just got to check. Nothing wrong with that!" Ruiko says back, though her eyes were filled with mischievous gleams.
"Everything is wrong with that!" Uiharu states, then goes quiet in shame.
"Don't even get the idea Kuroko." Mikoto warns, giving her friend a look.
"Oh me? I would never do that Sissy. You must have better faith in me than that!" Kuroko says innocently. This worries Mikoto, as whenever kuroko got like that she was up to something.
Well i'm not drinking anything she gives me today.
"Hey! isn't Banri going to be discharged from the hospital soon?" Mikoto asks
"Yes she is! Erii, Ruiko and I just came from there. Banri and Erii are going to be getting an apartment together!" Uiharu explains.
"That's great!. Oh wait, that means that Erii will be moving out of your apartment Uiharu." Kuroko says, though she drops her excitement when she realized that Uiharu would not be living with Erii anymore.
"It's okay. I'm happy for them. Its for Banris sake, and it's not like i'm not going to see them anymore, after all they both will be going to our school." Uiharu clarifies, though it is clear that she is upset about it.
"Hey lets not worry about that, let's go for a walk in the park, just something to relax." Mikoto says, wanting to get away from the topic so Uiharu doesn't stay sad.
"yes and then after that can we stop by the location of the Academy City Research Exhibition Assembly? I want to see what its going to be like before i have to work there." Uiharu asks.
"What do you mean by work there?" Ruiko asks.
"Judgement is going to be overseeing it. It sucks but it's something we have to do." Kuroko says with a sigh.
"Yah sure we can go there, but let's get going. It's not like we have an unlimited time." Mikoto says, pressuring the group to get moving. As they work towards the park, which just so happened to be on their way to the Academy City Research Exhibition Assembly, kuroko notices something weird about how Mikoto was walking. It was as if she had a small limp.
"Sissy are you okay? You are walking funny," She asks, concern in her voice.
"Of course you of all people would know how I walk… Everythings fine Kuroko." Mikoto responds, hoping kuroko would believe her.
"Really Mikoto? Because it seems like your stiff in the hip. Even I can tell that from how you are walking. Is it something to do with Touma, after all you have been spending a lot of time with him," Ruiko insinuating something very specific.
"No! Sissy wouldn't do that! Right Sissy? Kuroko asks, genuine fear flashing in her eyes.
"No! It has nothing to do with Touma! Yes I am sore, and yes it is my hip, but for a completely different reason. I have been training with Raiden a lot lately, and mostly as a level 6. I made a mistake and hit the wall at full speed. My hip and leg received the brunt of the impact and i'm just sore from that," Mikoto states rapidly. That is what truthfully happened, but she knew Ruiko enough that she wouldn't fully believe it, though she hoped it would convince Kuroko.
"Thanks goodness, I knew sissy wouldn't be doing that!" Kuroko says with a thankful sigh. Ruiko didn't respond and only looked thoughtful.
"Are you sure you should be walking then Mikoto?" Uiharu asks.
"I'm fine. It's just going to be sore for a little while. Nothing got damaged, my body is very durable in my level 6 form." Mikoto clarifies.
"Okay if you say so," Uiharu relents.
"Come on then, let's keep going." Mikoto urges, as she didn't want to keep talking about this.
The group continues there walk, albeit slowly as none of them really wanted to push Mikoto to walk fast. She was keeping up, but still everyone was keeping an eye on her for the moment she began to show that her injury was affecting her. They were paying so much attention to that, that none of them noticed the little girl laying on a flower patch as they walked by except for Mikoto herself.
"Hey wait! Look at this!" Mikoto says running over to the little girl. Ruiko, Kuroko and Uiharu join her, surprised to find the girl sleeping in a bed of flowers.
"What is she doing here? It looks like she has been here for a while and she seems to young to be alone." Uiharu says. Mikoto stays silent for now.
"Well we can't just leave her here now. Let's see if we can wake her up" Ruiko says. She moves next to the girl and shakes her softly and says "Can you please wake up for us?"
Surprisingly the girl begins to move, evidently a light sleeper. She sits up, wiping her eyes before she looks around. She notices the older girls standing around her and begins to look frightened until Ruiko speaks again.
"Hey no need to be worried. We are friends. Do you want to head over to that bench so we can talk?" Ruiko asks warmly, ding a very good job of calmly talking to the kid.
"Okay." The little girl says. She stands up but is a little unsteady from sleeping for so long. But Ruiko helps her steady herself and she makes her way to the bench sitting down on it and beginning to suck on her lollipop once again.
"So what is your name?" Ruiko asks.
The girl seems to think for a little bit, as if she didn't remember her name then says "Febri."
"That's a beautiful name. Is there anything else you can tell us?" Ruiko asks.
Again the little girl begins to think, but for some reason this time for not as long as she says rather quickly "Mikoto Misaka". But that was it. Nothing else, no other clue.
What!? Me! How does this little girl know my name? It's not like I have seen her before, and it's evident she doesn't recognize me. Someone must have told her that name, but Who? Damn it Raiden if this is your doing.
Mikoto leans down next to Ruiko, now in front of Febri and asks "My name is Mikoto Misaka. How do you know my name?"
But for some reason this does not go good, as for a reason unknown, Febri seems to be scared of Mikoto as she immediately runs to Ruikos side, opposite from Mikoto, trying to hide from Mikoto.
"Febri, it's okay. Mikoto doesn't want to hurt you. Can you please answer her question?" Ruiko comforts.
"A friend told me," Febri says, still not moving from Ruios side.
"Do you know your friend's name?" Uiharu asks. Febri only shakes her head, not having an answer to that question.
"Well would you like to hang out with us for a little while?" Ruiko asks.
"Yes!" Febri says in excitement, though she still stayed away from the group returns to their walk, now with Febri joining them, Mikoto thinks.
Great, now I scared a little kid. Im good with kids right? So why is she scared of me? I'm going to have to try to get her to like me.
"Hey Febri do you want me to give you a ride on my back?" mikoto asks Febri.
"No." febri says, not looking at Mikoto, but then only a few seconds later she turns to Ruiko and asks "Can i ride on your back?" Ruiko gave Mikoto a sorry look but let febri onto her back.
Wow she really doesn't like me. I'm going to have to step up my game.
The rest of the walk to the convention Mikoto tried everything she could think of to make Febri like her but none of it worked. Febri was just too stubborn about not liking Mikoto. Eventually they get to the convention, though today it seemed to not be that busy. The group sits down on some benches to rest from their walk before doing deciding on what to do next.
"Well i too go to the bathroom, so kuroko and Uiharu do you want to come too? Might as well before we look around." Ruiko asks getting up. She winked at Mikoto and that's when Mikoto realized what Ruiko was doing. She was trying to force Febri and Mikoto together so that Febri will begin to like Mikoto. She didn't think it would make that much of a difference but she was willing to try.
"Fine, we will come with." The others say, picking up on what Ruiko was trying to do. Febri tried to follow them.
"No Febri. You wait here with Mikoto. She will take care of you while we are gone." Ruiko says as Mikoto takes Febris hand. Surprisingly Febri didnt run from Mikotos touch so she must be getting better.
"Okay." Febri says. They watched as the girls walked away, leaving them together. Mikoto smiled as she decided to use her last resort to get Febri to at least laugh around her.
Mikoto reached into her pockets quickly, putting on all of the figure puppet gekotas she had. She then pulls her hands out of her pockets and asks for Febri to turn around. Immediately Febri had a different look on her face, one of actual happiness.
"This is Gekota. Do you like them?" Mikoto asks. Febri nods her head and Mikoto goes to reach for one of her spares but because of that she is too slow to react as Febri grabs the pink one right off of her finger.
"What?" Mikoto exclaims in shock.
"My gekota." Febri says as she puts it on.
Well I guess I can let her have it for today. But i will need to get it back, thats the only pink one i have.
The two then actually begin to play together, until Mikoto realizes that she cant find her phone. She begins to look under the benches and in other areas to find it. But while she is looking, Febri takes the opportunity to disappear. When Mikoto finds her phone and turns back to where Febri was, she cant find her.
No! I am really stupid! I had one job and I managed to lose Febri, oh I need to find her!
I have my mother's dreams
I have my father's eyes
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try
Five thousand feet below
As black smoke engulfs the sky
The ocean floor explodes
Eleven mothers cry
My bones all resonate
A burning lullaby
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try
