III

Yuuka's stroll was turning long now. She was accepted to the Tokiwadai as a student, she too had accepted to join the Tokiwadai. Of course the girl's school wanted her in their program, she had beaten Accelerator to a pulp. Yuuka was weak to mental attacks, she usually avoided them by going berserker.

Yuuka actually joined in because it was the same school where Shokuhou Misaki, the promise of potential strength. Her arrival was an odd one, at first everyone assumed it was a joke, but she was stated as a lvl 6 ESPer. Soon the rest of the school realized it was serious, she had not only beaten Accelerator but she was holding back while doing it so. Right away this made her feared among the entire school.

Kuuroko had her face bandaged, she bragged about it, her nose had been broken to such a degree it was easier to implant brand new bone than to reconstruct it, she had a free rhinoplasty. Misaka was still recovering at the hospital, not only her lung was pierced, the internal bleeding was the worst of it.

During her free time Yuuka grew some flowers and left them in the hospital, pink sunflowers, she gave one to Misaka, and one to Accelerator. Kuuroko got one in front of her room. "This is a lousy apology" Misaka stated.

Yuuka shrugged "You attacked first, I am just wishing you a recovery" She said before going to Accelerator's room.

He was not awake, the white haired monster Yuuka had fought was just a boy, the other Izayoi looked as peaceful as a little kid. This was not the vampire hunter Yuuka knew, it wasn't even close, there was a resemblance, perhaps offspring of the Lunacy Dial, or her father, it was odd with time travelers.

Yuuka put her sunflower in a vase that had already some flowers. She then sat down on the couch and opened a copy of Dracula she had brought over and began reading it.

The doctor came in to check on his vials, Yuuka noticed he was an old man with a frog embroidered on his coat. Though his scent was very familiar, after all flowers speak through scent, coumpounds shared on the air giving messages, as a byproduct of her flower speech Yuuka had a sharp sense of smell. The scent of Accelerator reeked of Sakuya, so much so that Yuuka thought he was Sakuya in drag, she went overboard because of this.

But this boy was not Sakuya, he was strong, very strong, but not close to the maid in the least. The doctor was another familiar smell, this one very different, and his face was something Yuuka could not forget.

Yuuka looked up at him, he stared back at Yuuka. "You are slow Doctor" she said with a mocking smile

"I am not slow, you literally liquified his insides. The only reason he is alive is that he could keep his blood flowing through the use of his own skill"

"He is very hurt for sure, any other doctor would take years to recover him. I mean you are slow for a Yagokoro" Yuuka closed her book.

The doctor took another look at Yuuka, he checked if he had any nametags on his coat, as usual he didn't. "I always thought the capital would send a rabbit"

Yuuka got up and floated close to the doctor "Lunarians did not dare kill Eirin's rabbits, what makes you think they will go after her son? Cowards, all of them! The Watatsukis would bring Tsukuyomi's head on a silver platter to her if Eirin wished!"

She floated around him "Do not compare me with them either. Lunarians would rather risk it and go through the dream world than escape through my domain, they had the choice of staying and face Hell itself, leave and fare against nightmares… Or cross Mugenkan, none considered the latter" She laughed and sat back down.

Yuuka waited for a moment "What do you have to say?!"

"I always thought you'd be taller. I also would like to ask for your blood, that will save me a lot of work" He said calmly, his demeanor has barely changed. He was just like Eirin, completely unfazed to intimidation or grandure, a doctor who only cares about healing his patients. A work ethic Eirin must have instilled on him.

Probably this man was the most important doctor in the city, Yuuka knew he was the second best doctor in the entire universe, only second to his mother. Well considering he was working with ancient technology he was doing miracles. Yuuka knew her blood could heal, but it could very easily kill, it made everything grow, the good and the bad, though a Yagokoro? He probably could heal a thousand people with a vial of it. Yuuka bit her finger and squeezed out a drop of blood. The doctor hurried and opened a syringe, then jerked out the plug, he allowed the drop to fall inside the sterilized interior.

Yuuka sat back down and continued reading Dracula. As he left a visit arrived, the same woman who stood against Yuuka, and the electromaster, or rather said a copy of Misaka Mikoto. She had a slight metallic smell, no perfume or special soap of any kind, probably used the same thing the soldier woman.

She didn't care, it was not the first Misaka copy she saw, at first Yuuka thought they could create clones, later Yuuka learned from one of them about they being experiments.

The metallic Misaka stared at Yuuka, it wasn't anger, it was surprise. She came close to the green haired girl "Dracula… The all fearsome count who only yearns to not be alone, yet he only knows violence"

"I just imagined he would like a book about Vampires. He looks like the guy who will read vampire stories to his daughter… Or he grew up listening to vampire stories" Yuuka closed the book again.

"He never reads fiction, I picked this because I thought he would identify with the antagonist" the copy said.

Yuuka smiled, the scent of this one, not of the original Misaka, but of this one, she reminded Yuuka of the maid. Sakuya Izayoi, a human with power over time and space, a human with a face that looked exactly like this child, it was way more subtle, but the scent of this skewed copy and of the boy made Yuuka think of Izayoi Sakuya.

"Identifying with the antagonist"

"Of course, bad guys always have the most fun, bad guys get to see more blood"

The cop woman was just staring at those two, she expected a full on fight, but really both were on the same page, on the surface only. The greenette looked as if she was interrogating Misaka, prodding in specific places to see more information. She knew Accelerator, she knew his name, not the title he got here, but his actual name. She questioned Misaka about her tastes, but Yuuka probably knows it already, she just wants to get Misaka to talk.

Yomikawa waited at the hallway. Yuuka saw her when walking out. "Please do not interrogate Misaka… If you want to know something ask her directly" Yomikawa was acquainted with the methods of friendliness to get information out.

"If you want" Yuuka opened the door again "I apologize for hurting your future husband so much. I assumed he would be as strong as your daughter" Yuuka smiled back at Yomikawa

"Do not ask me how it works, but thunder and control of direction get time and space control" Yuuka said while closing the door behind her.

"I had never met Accelerator or Misaka in my life, but their daughter is as effective as him, and as brutal as her. I have had the chance to fight her, that is why I miscalculated how much strength I could use"

Yomikawa was sweating cold. This seemed so offlandish, probably she was lying, but in this city, what she said made more sense. Komoe jokingly warned Yomikawa about that, how controlling your own brainwaves and direction would unlock the capacity of the user to understand time as a dimension, another vector to switch around.

"Now I wonder why someone like her would become an executioner of the church" Yuuka asked Yomikawa "I am just shooting in the dark really, I doubt you know who they are"

Yuuka floated away. Yomikawa was shaken because she knew who the Executioners were, demon hunters, Yomikawa was one of them, sent to Academy City to purge it of its demons, she joined them instead, she would never shoot children. Not really a wizard, but someone who knows how to fight magic.

Izayoi is the name of a legend among the executioners, the Lunacy Dial, she went missing after attempting to hunt the Scarlet Devil. Yomikawa rushed to follow Yuuka "Will Mikoto beat the Scarlet Devil?"

"Mikoto?" Yuuka stopped "I told you, I had never met them in my life"

"I mean their daughter… Izayoi Mikoto" Yomikawa held Yuuka by the arm.

"Never, for all intents and purposes the Scarlet Devil is a GREMLIN, even if she did manage to beat Remilia, her little sister, Flandre… Flandre is in my league. Remilia though will never hurt their daughter, she is her head maid. She goes by Sakuya now, or will go in the future. The betrayal makes sense, there is no way Sakuya will attempt to hurt a child, even if they are a vampire god, far above their league. I wonder where she got that moral code though, not from her parents for sure" Yuuka laughed to herself

Yomikawa let go of Yuuka. "Thank you" She would not question it, but for sure Yuuka knew Accelerator's child. The great Izayoi Mikoto is in fact a time traveler then, the cautionary tale of how vampires are too dangerous now looked different. A vampire god who is in fact just a little child.

How did Yuuka knew GREMLINS anyway? Not even things in that league had managed to hurt accelerator so bad. Also, she stated the Scarlet Devil had a little sister who is as strong as Yuuka. What Izayoi did was a suicide mission, she was looking to die.
