Ayu Mitsuari

It's been awhile since Ayu has been out and about in the calm morning breeze.

To think, the fresh air could feel so nice, when before she didn't think much of it. But now she did, and she enjoyed that calm soft wind blowing across her hair. To think, she was finally out of the reformatory in the detention center she once resided in, and can now move along freely. Giving a small smile, she then leaned on a rail as she gazed at the city below her.

"Such a nice view." She whispered. To think that after all this time she could finally be a normal girl. Well, a normal girl with powers, history of criminal activity, and knowing about the Dark Side of Academy City, but that wasn't a problem.

Except for one.

'Oh Misaki,' A slightly dark but amusing glint then appeared in Ayu's eyes. 'Did you really not think I wouldn't notice what you have been doing? Especially with the last few stunts.'

As for what these 'stunts' were, it was but one thing. Or should she say, one person. As Ayu has been understanding that her old rival has been getting mighty close with a certain boy who was full of misfortune.

'To think, she's been getting awfully close to him, all while I was…'recovering'.' While the relationship between her and Misaki was better, that didn't mean Ayu appreciated the blonde girl making multiple moves while she was away. I mean seriously, she was now way behind compared to the others. And yes, she indeed knew about the 'other' girls.

Huh." She then sighed lamently. "I know he's rather popular, but never did I think he'd get this popular." Honestly, to think over a dozen girls were now pinning for him. In a way that both impressed but also irked her at the same time.

After all, those girls at least had a lot of time to get to know him, hang with him, and possibly make a few encouraging moves. Something she hasn't been able to do at all. However, an opportunity has now presented itself to her. One that just might put her ahead of the game.

"Now, where are you?" She giggled to herself as she then looked down below to spot a certain person she had decided to target. And no, it wasn't her possible future partner Touma. As much as she wanted to be near him, she knew it would be forever before they get to know each other. Not that she minded that granted. She just first wanted to meet someone else before then.

"There you are." A person she hoped she could get along very well with.

"Ah, what a nice morning." At last Touya felt like he had a regular simple morning, with nothing bad going on. Though his good mood could probably be related to the fact that he was no longer in debt, but was now back to full cash. Heck, even better since he actually had an extra surplus thanks to that gold bar. Though Touya later found out it was more than just gold.

"Haha. To think that gold bar also had a few diamonds. The look on that man's face." Not that his face wasn't any different. He swore that if he had lived in a cartoon, his jaw would have fallen onto the ground with his tongue rolling out.

If he wasn't in Academy City, Touya totally would have done what most people would do when they have a lot of money.

Go to Vegas.

"Well," Touya chuckled putting that thought away. For now. He decided to send a little extra money to Touma-just in case-and some to his wife. The rest he'll put aside for when his co-workers arrived in Academy City. With all this extra cash, they're gonna rock this joint like teenagers did. Wasn't just youngsters that can party hard.

"Though I wonder what kind of place I should reserve for us." Not a high fancy place of course. Those were stuffy, and considering how some of his co-workers acted, they'd be kicked out afterwards. No. It needed to be a local but an empty place where they wouldn't be bugged.

As Touya continued walking and thinking of possible places, a girl suddenly came forward waving her hand saying, "Hi."

"...Hi?" Touya said stopping. He then looked around just in case she was talking to someone else. He was the only one here. He then looked at the girl who simply smiled.

The girl had long, wavy chocolate colored hair that seemed quite fluffy. She donned a familiar Tokiwadai uniform, indicating she went to the famed school. She also had long slender legs, not as good as Shinna's, but good nonetheless He then cleared his throat as he then decided to say what he should.

"Just letting you know, I'm not Touma." He instantly said.

Perhaps he was jumping the gun a little too fast, but these days every time he met an unfamiliar person, they just seemed to be connected to his son one way or another. Many confusing him for Touma as well. So it'd be best to say that he wasn't, and see what the person wanted.

"Oh, I know that." The girl then said. "While I see you have some of the same looks, it's pretty easy to tell your not Touma Kamijou." Then what about all those other people?

"Okay." Touya then said. "Not to sound rude or anything, but did you need something for me. Or...did my son get in trouble?" Maybe he should have higher fate in Touma, but everyday he worried more and more that his son was becoming a delinquent. And considering how many people he's been told that he's constantly getting in trouble, Touya had a right to feel this way.

"Oh no, your son didn't do anything bad." The girl said with Touya giving a relieved breath. "Well...not now at the moment." And here comes the worry.

"However, that's why I'm here." The girl then said. "My name is Ayu. Ayu Mitsuari. And I'm a person that has been asked to help with your son's...problems."

"I knew it." Touya said depressingly. The poor father then walking to the nearest bench sitting down while holding his head with a sad aura surrounding him. "So...my son really is a delinquent…"

"..uh." Looks like Ayu somehow messed up already. She didn't even need to use her powers to tell this man was already feeling down and thinking sad thoughts. Though the worst part was that she couldn't exactly deny Touma was a delinquent. The boy may try to deny it, but he kinda is a delinquent in a way. Not the bad kind Touya was thinking though, but the good kind.

"Ahem." Ayu then decided to continue on, but use her words a bit more carefully. "Yes, as you know you're son is in a slight situation. One where he gets into a lot of trouble."

"Trouble at school?" That, and messing with magic, crazed sorcerers, a group wanting to kill God, mad scientists, and many, many girls vying for his attention. Some even wanting to do the deed in bed.

"Indeed." Ayu continued. "Now then, if I recall a person once came up to you telling you about a program involving the raising of grades, right?" Seria, oh she's gonna get back at her for this one day. Making a move like that!

"Yes I do." That girl had been so nice. In fact, he actually received one of Touma's reports from her by mail, and it showed some improvement. Touma still needs to work hard, but at least he was slowly getting his grades up.

"Good. In that case, allow me to explain this." Ayu then took out a piece of paper with words on it. "See. I know for a fact your son has...issues, with staying in class." While she's glad Touma only skips to help people, he forgets that this also costs him a lot. "Not to mention the trouble he gets into."

"Don't remind me." Touya murmured. "I get calls from Anti-Skill itself now that Touma's been visiting their place a lot." Of course they told him that it was just because Touma was either in the wrong place and wrong time, and stuff like that. But to think he was constantly being put in jail, even if for a little while.

"Indeed." Ayu said also surprised by how many times Touma was placed in a cell simply for helping a person...only for people to think he's the cause as by the time Anti-Skill arrives, all they see is him beating up another dude. Then believing he's the troublemaker...which he sorta is. "However, I have something that might just help." She smiled.

"If it helps him from getting in jail, then I'm open ears." Still smiling, she then handed Touya the paper. There he then read what it said, with one word. "Judgement?"

"That's right." Ayu said. "Judgement is what you can call the 'police' made of students. If your son has this position, and has the armband, then people will no longer see him as a thug to arrest, but a respected member who people can rely on." I mean, those who really knew him already looked up and respected him, but this way, the others won't just think he's some bad guy. He's done a lot for this world, so getting some respect can't hurt.

"Hm?" Touya overviewed the paper, and didn't really see anything wrong with this. If anything, while this might take away some of Touma's free time, wouldn't it be worth it. No more him getting in trouble, having some partners to work with, and no phone calls in the middle of the night with an officer telling him his son had done something again. Why, just two days ago, he had been arrested for having a girl with a metal tail trying to 'do the dead' out in public on a bench.

However, he did wonder one thing.

"Just who are you exactly though? You know my son somehow?" He asked, questioning the girls relationship with his child.

Ayu then just giggled. "Let's just say I'm someone he's helped before in the past. Call me...an admirer of his."

An admirer. Oh.

Even Touya could tell that this girl more than just admired him. A possible girlfriend maybe?

'Not to mention one that looks his age.' Again, if his son was into girls that were...younger than him, that's fine. But Touya wouldn't mind if this girl might be a good candidate. Plus she seemed rather nice as well. He wondered what Shinna would think of her.

Ayu mentally smirked. While she wasn't reading his mind-as she would never do that to the boy that saved her-she was however reading his emotions. And right now, she could tell he thought very well of her. Mission accomplished.

"In any case sir, how about you have time to think about it." She said as she then turned around and began walking away. "I hope we can meet again." She then waved good-bye and left with a vindictive smile on her lips.

In Misaki's face!

As for Touya, unaware he had more or less been played-something that often happens to his son-continued looking at the paper.

"Exercise regime, self-defense, certain benefits...Hm? Sounds pretty good." If his son could defend himself, that would be great. After all, if his son ever met a bunch of thugs, wouldn't it be good if he could properly fight back. I mean, maybe he could beat one, possibly two on his own. But say he met a dozen.

With a good self-defense, he could properly fight back if needed. Not to mention help people without getting busted like he usually did. Honestly, he wondered why Touma hasn't even done this yet. Best part of all though, in his opinion, Touma would be surrounded by good people with a positive influence on him.

He then looked down at what branch office his son would join if he did have him join.

"Ahhh, just another relaxing day." Kuroko was sitting down in the Judgment Branch Office 177, having finished her work. Now she had a good break to relax and simply drink some fine tea, courtesy by Uiharu.

As she drank it, she then noticed some papers of applicants that would possibly be joining this branch. Having nothing better to do, she then decided to see who might join.

"Let's see here...Yami...Koro...Mezu...and…!?" Her eyes then widened at one applicant. An applicant that made her good mood vanish. "Ape!" She said in disdain. That monkey was joining. Oh, she could see where this was going.

That dirty ape would try to join, then grab all of sissies attention for himself. Acting as if he's all reliable and junk. Well, not if she could help it. Quickly she wondered if she could somehow get him to drop out, but then stopped as something caught her eye.

"...Hehehehe." Her good mood suddenly returning, according to the paper, Judgement officers could train applicants to better themselves. Standing up, she then went to see Konori Mii. She'll happily volunteer to help these up and coming officers. She'll be certain to show them a good time on the field.

And give special attention to him.

Hehe!

Think Touma will pass, or fail? Only time will tell. As once more his bad luck strikes and puts him with the face of a beast. All in the form of a little girl who may as well be a demon. Reminds me of another anime series. Well, util next time.
