Well this is my second omake, or we might as well call it an SS because of the length. Mr? was very persistent. As I said before, I didn't want to do a Valentine Day one because it has been overdone way to much. Whatever I come up with would be very similar to what others have done over the years, and I felt like the readers deserve something different. We all have read the thousands of girls chasing Touma around all day to give him chocolates, so now it is time for him to return the favor. Some of you already knew what the day was going to be. Thus, as the title said, this is White Day. For those unfamiliar with it, think of it as the opposite of Valentine's Day. A more detailed explanation is in the start of the story below. Poor Touma, he has so many problems and not just his. His alter ego also has a short appearance which only adds to his great misfortune. I know I promised to release the chapter on 3/14, but the chapter started the day before, so I figured, I'm going to release the chapter the day before.

I will also be eating pie on 3/14 too.

Now, let's move to comments.

Eurigos: Sorry, this is a side story. You will have to wait a little longer for the Australian battle.

Brosephg: I'm having fun with Levinia and Lessar, members of magic groups, but completely different. Well, if something bad happened to Touma EVERY time he walked through a door, it would be obvious. It can only happen most of the time. Mikoto and Kuroko's argument won't be going into detail for a while, but some people seemed to have an idea what happened. This story is also not rated M, so your twisted mind probably went too far. I always felt Kuroko's feelings were more admiration then love, so I played off that. Touma mentioned that a long time ago when he was on vacation the first time. I can't even find a small hole in the LN for a Mikoto x Kuroko relationship. They are good friends for sure though.

vietnamese guy: Power does not equate to knowledge. Since Eve's memories pass from one life to another, she would have memories and experiences long before the others. Index in the LNs said magic was created for the people without talent to compete against those with talents. That means men had to have been created for magic to be created and magic gods to exist. If Eve and Adam were the first people, they would have knowledge others do not. The Novel with the flashback occurred after Othinus yes, but the actual time period happened before in it. We all are looking forward to what Carissa will do to our poor misfortunate boy. Maybe her mother will help out.

anand891996: I'm going to keep imagining you are British when I read your comments. Glad you caught the 'I' in a later comment. I was so confused when I saw that the first time. I had the same problem remembering what happened in Australia, but jumping back and forth between AC and the outback was going to be even worse.

general ironox: He knows a little bit, but he's going to have to wait until he gets back to get the entire story. You were correct about the holiday.

Jujudude: There original task by the doctor was to start developing their own personality. No idea about Ruiko. She just finds herself in the middle of everything.

Whwsms: First song someone put as a comment. He got to sleep in a bed with like six very attractive girls. He has good memories. The fight with Adam is just a boring plot fight to finish and head home to talk about his conquest. Imouto is smart. Now the rest of the Sisters won't know what happened.

Anon Guest: Touma punches are serious business. I've actually started on the fight. Many things happened, even at the beginning.

Salishious: Oriana is probably the greatest girl. She can single handedly break through Touma's defenses. She was willing to kiss him on the forehead in canon and he said yes, but Seiri stopped him. The sisters are growing, but that's going to cause Touma some more problems. That shadow is going to say some pretty obscene things. It likes to stir the pot. The video is probably the furthest thing from Mikoto and Misaki's mind right now. Index and Eve? That's a recipe for disaster.

Guest: 1) I could tell you, but you will have to wait until it's revealed. It's not a bad guess though. 2) No, Amelia is the main one, but not sure if I'll have time to put in an all-female squad. With one named girl, you know she's going to be important. 3) Accelerator had the best description in the light novel of an angry Touma. He's a monster you can't turn your back to.

Savaris: Transition chapters are important. You don't just go from A to C, you need B in there. Mikoto and Misaki would be best friends if their situations were different, like being attracted to different guys. Mikoto was exhausted after her fight. Her mind probably wasn't processing the signs well enough. Given a short break, she's going to know. Mikoto isn't used to Kuroko knowing what is happening, so it shocked her a bit. That panty was promptly burned by Touma's harem.

Acpeters: Touma should just accept his harem and everything would work out better. Kuroko x Jason is working out way better than I had planned. They were never supposed to have gotten together, it just kind of happened. It gave him a little more screen time, but hey, he's not overshadowing the others.

wildarms13: No one else made a White Day omake, so why not make something different? Touma is really good with critical hits from his compliments. Not a lot of fluffy chapters, reason I'm putting this omake down before we go headfirst into a warzone. Certain Magical Index is an action series, so it needs these main events between the important plot of relationship development.

321jaz: Adam… well Adam is going to go all OP on everyone else.

Guest 13: She might be okay with being part of a harem.

Tardis42: Pie day is important and I will be eating pie.

Handsomistic1: You can't even burst out the Margaret combo in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax? Tsk, noob. Touma is a normal high school boy, so you know before a big fight, he can't just sit there idly. He needs something to distract his thoughts. Plus, he hated dragging others into his fights. Amelia is going to understand why George speaks highly of Touma. Vitamin D…. I'm done with you. Kazari's reaction to Kuroko going to far is going to be an interesting character development for them. Chibi vampires are important, but at a later date.

Meridun: Huh, didn't expect that to be that funny. Glad someone enjoyed. I was going to say mime at first, but there are more scary stories of clowns.

MrQuestionMark: Look at this guy. He went out of his way to chain comments to reach the 2k mark. I wanted him to be the 1k mark, but he missed it, so I accept your apology this time. It was definitely a change of pace from fight scenes to a transition chapter. I notice you always like the character development sections over the large plot fights. All the OCs? Thought I only had like 4, and two of them had been around for a long time. I trust you will like the Adam fight, but let's focus on your comment of Eve. Yes, I agree, she is definitely unhinged. It's like she does things for the purpose of chaos, rather than a goal. Good to see your comment man and congrats again on your story hitting 100 chapters.

Agent Nine: Then you shall have your wish. This chapter is nice and fluffy.

GameCguru: Hmm, I could use fifty bucks. Okay, you're on. That's a good guess on Kuroko's state of mind. Heh, horcrux. I'm not that predictable.

Generation Zero: Touma is always lucky with the fact he witnesses awesome things other guys wish they could. Harem is 3+ members, so if we would have to count Juliet in his harem for that to work and she's currently a small ball of darkness sealed up in a metal sphere. Have to see how the interaction between Kuroko and Kazari go, but the development should be pretty great. Eh, you want me to have more sisters? Arg, I'll make one American and she will be like a mini Worst or something. St. Peter I worked with a couple people on his magic, so should be an interesting fight. Let's just say, no magician can beat him. The ending of the fight is going to be full of twists and turns to keep you on your toes.

Master Knight Trolling: It wasn't so much a threat, but there were more important issues at hand then it could have.

Kami: Thanks for the compliment.

FrodoFighter: Before I get to your awesome comment, I have something to tell you. This week, I was bored at work and was surfing my phone a little bit after getting all my work done, when I found myself on reddit. I came across an interesting post by someone called the TheLoneExplorer. He recommended my story and I'm really thankful for it. However, someone responded with this comment. ""a certain infinite possibility": Isn't that the one with the "Self-insert" Jason? I was told that he is pretty sue-ish, so I didn't read it yet. But, I think I will give it a shot." It was posted by someone called FrodoFighter. Coincidence? Anyway, about your comment last chapter.

If Touma would just hold his arms out and say no girl would ever fall into my lap, he would get a girl. You think Accelerator pumped up Ruiko's ability during their brief exchange? Interesting thought. I can confirm I have never grown up either. My toys are only more expensive and I can buy my own fruit snacks and juice instead of my parents. Lessar might RP if Touma dresses as a clown. Birdway can't defeat the Kami-yan disease either. As for St. Peter, he has a lot of powers. The Anti-Flight spell used by the church is based off him. Touma should just go to Oriana and ask her to teach him about women. He would be the only male alive who knows. I'm looking forward to the Kuroko x Uiharu x Jason triangle. A lot of character development there. Poor Kuroko, you don't understand her love and affection. I'm just going to steal the personalities and names from someone else who started writing that, don't tell him though. I'm sure he won't notice. Australia is going to be full of twists and turns, so the fight won't end as you might expect.

Replying to comments are getting long, but so rewarding.

It was Sunday, March 13th.

Touma was facing one of the most dangerous situations in his young life.

Monday… was White Day.

In Japan, Valentine's Day was typically observed by girls and women who presented chocolate gifts to boys and men as an expression of love, courtesy, or social obligation. On White Day, the reverse happens. Men who received chocolates on Valentine's Day were expected to return the favor by giving gifts. Traditionally, popular White Day gifts were cookies, jewelry, and white chocolate, though normal chocolate was also acceptable. White day was supposed to be a day for guys to give back to the girls. Normally, this day was a hassle for him, but was manageable. He usually received a bunch of chocolates from random girls in gratitude for his help throughout the year. Cookies were easy to make and could be produced in large quantities at low cost. This year was different for two reasons.

The first was he now knew a couple girls had actual feelings for him, so he had to do something more for them. Plus, there were a lot more people he knew from the magic side he owed a lot too.

The second, and probably more dangerous, reason was, in previous years, Kami the Harem King had not existed.

Touma couldn't understand why so many girls sent Kami chocolates. He could understand Tokiwadai High School girls sending him stuff because they were involved with his friends' shenanigans, but many of the schools he had never interacted with. His workload had easily quadrupled and his bank account was now yelling profanities at him. He would be lucky to eat instant ramen for the next month. Expensive stuff like jewelry was out of his price range, so he was going to rely on making cookies for ninety nine percent of his gifts. The others would be getting more personalized items. He had asked Itsuwa to keep Index out of his dorm as much as possible that weekend and that was the only reason he could make anything without Index eating it all. Then his stove finally gave out on him.

Touma had been forced to take all the remaining groceries to a friend's house to finish.

"Thank you so much," Touma said when the door opened. "I would be toast otherwise."

"Whatever," Accelerator mumbled and moved aside to let Touma in. "You're just lucky everyone else is out. You shouldn't be disturbed for a while."

"I don't have luck," Touma muttered miserably, as he set all his stuff in the kitchen. "Worst is probably going to return as a leader of a gang and have three people with her. They will try to eat or ruin everything I make then!"

"That would be rather tame for her," Accelerator remarked and sat back down on the couch in the other room. He still had a perfect view of Touma through the window in the wall between rooms. "Are you going to tell me why you called me and not one of the others? I only let you come because you sounded desperate."

"I am desperate," Touma acknowledged and turned on the oven. "I only have until tomorrow to finish and then my stove exploded."

"You mean broke?"

"No, it actually exploded." Touma turned and looked at Accelerator, who had raised an eyebrow. "The door flew off the machine and hit a wall. I still don't know how it happened."

"Why not ask the idiots for help then?" Accelerator asked and turned on the TV. "They live closer."

"Tsuchimikado wouldn't let me into his room," Touma explained, as he started to make the cookie dough. "I don't know why, but I probably don't want to know. Jason wasn't answering his phone, so he might not be home. And then Aogami…" Touma paused. "There are… reasons we don't go over to his room anymore." Accelerator raised an eyebrow again, but then lowered it. That made a lot more sense to him than it should have. "I have a couple more batches of cookies to finish and then some specialty gifts."

"I bet the third through fifth rates are going to appreciate that," Accelerator mumbled and then let out a bark like laugh.

"It looks like you made some homemade stuff too," Touma pointed out and Accelerator sobered up instantly. On the far side of the counter were five pieces of homemade chocolate. Touma could make out who two of them were for, Last Order and Worst.

"Shut it, hero," Accelerator snapped. "Or I'll throw you out."

"Please don't!"

"You know as well as I do the brat would cry if I didn't get her anything," Accelerator continued with a scowl. "Then the bigger brat wouldn't be happy with not getting anything and make my life hell. It was a preemptive measure."

"What about the other three?" Touma asked, as he started putting cookie dough on the sheets.

"None of your damn business!"

"Okay, okay," Touma said quickly and his eyes fell on a larger box of what appeared to be bags of store bought chocolates. "Is that big box for our class?"

"Yeah," Accelerator confirmed nonchalantly. "Plus the Ishikawa girl from Tokiwadai High School. She sent me something so I thought, eh, she's not completely annoying." Accelerator glanced over at the large amount of cookies Touma had made already, plus the amount he was still making. "Are you trying to feed the city?"

"About half," Touma answered through the tears. "Kami received so many gifts on Valentine's Day, so it's up to me to return them tomorrow. Seriously, my finances are in the black and Index is never going to accept eating a packet of ramen once a day."

"Speaking of the nun," Accelerator spoke his thoughts out loud. This scene was more interesting than what was on TV. "How did you make an entire case of cookies without her attacking?"

"Itsuwa saved me," Touma sighed. "The one speck of light in my dark week. She has been keeping Index out of the dorm."

"How are you planning to send all those cookies to the girls at other schools?" Accelerator inquired. "I seriously doubt you have the balls to go around and try to deliver them in person."

"I wouldn't be able to," Touma admitted and then gritted his teeth. "If it wasn't for our friends…" Accelerator smirked. "Jason used his Judgment connections to find out what schools the girls went to if they signed their names on the cards they sent. Tsuchimikado and Aogami crossed check signatures in case there were multiple people with the same name. Seriously, they put so much time into making my life difficult and then they still say it's all my fault about some nonexistent harem!"

"Uh huh," Accelerator mumbled absentmindedly, and then he remembered something. "Heh, are you getting the brat Lessar anything? I seem to recall her making a life-size chocolate statue of herself for you."

"Gah!" Touma gasped when he remembered that incident. "You know full well it wasn't a statue!" He and Index had been heading back to his dorm on Valentine's Day and Motoharu had been accompanying them. When Touma opened the door to his room, he had found a chocolate statute of Lessar on his counter. Before Touma or Motoharu could say anything, Index had pounced. She had been starving and it would have been at least an hour before supper was finished. The sight of the chocolate statue broke her. The thing was it had not been a statue. "I seriously don't know how she managed it, but she was lucky Index stopped. She should have known better." Lessar had managed to coat herself with chocolate and waited for who knew how long in Touma's room. Touma still remembered the look of shock on her face when she dodged Index's assault. "I rather just focus on the task at hand."

"Any idea how long you are going to need to use the kitchen?" Accelerator asked. "I can only guarantee the others will be away until early afternoon. I doubt you will get much done when the brats are here."

"I only have a couple batches of cookies left," Touma said after counting and checking a very lengthy checklist. He had gone over it many times, since there was way more people than he could remember without it. "Everyone outside of the city I sent their gifts already, so they should be receiving them tomorrow. I also send boxes with the smaller bags clearly labeled to each school we had names from. That way I can avoid going there in person." He shivered at the thought if he had to. "The only places left are our classroom, my friends from other schools, and Tokiwadai High."

"Huh, you are actually going there?" Accelerator was a little surprise. He figured Touma would try to avoid getting seen by anyone who didn't know him personally.

"I was going to mail the box there," Touma protested. "But it was really big and would either have to be split up into three smaller ones or I would pay a fortune on shipping. Tsuchimikado decided to contact Ishikawa-san and say Kami would deliver the gifts personally to her, so she could pass them out. I'm so dead. I know he's plotting something, but I don't know what!"

"Sounds like him."

"Once these cookies are done," Touma continued. "I only have to make the specific ones for my close friends." He had thought on what to give each one of them to try to make the gifts more personal. This added to his workload, but he owed them all a lot. There were even a few girls from the magic side still in the city, Lessar, Index, Itsuwa, and Kanzaki. "There is one person I'm worried about. I think I should make her something, but I don't know how to give it to her. I doubt she will appreciate being left out."

"Are you really that stupid?" Accelerator snapped and sat up. He was fully aware of who Touma was talking about. "Even the nun said her chocolate was laced with magic."

"But my hand would have negated it," Touma pointed out. "Eve knows that." Touma had been surprised on Valentine's Day when Eve had randomly shown up and given him a box of chocolates. Touma knew Eve was only did that to mess with him, because she waited until Mikoto and Misaki had found him. It caused a very awkward situation, even after she left. Luckily, Mikoto and Misaki were less angry at him and more suspicious of the candy. They took it from him and immediately gave it to Index. It turned out Eve actually had done something to the chocolate. She laced it with a magic aphrodisiac. It wouldn't make Touma fall in love with anyone, but would cause him to emit pheromones that would attract those of the opposite sex. Tsuchimikado had called it 'Kami-yan Disease booster.' The girls promptly destroyed it. Anything he said would have been ignored and might have caused an argument, so he kept his mouth shut.

"You are too soft for your own good," Accelerator huffed.

"I get told that all the time," Touma replied with a shrug. "I don't really mind, as long as it works out in the end." Touma turned back to the task at hand. "I suppose I should start melting the chocolate first and then I can mix the batter…" He started mumbling while continuing to work. Accelerator watched for a minute at the intense concentration Touma could muster. It was like Touma was planning to walk into battle.

I suppose with the nun's stomach, Accelerator thought. He's involved in a war every day. What a moron.

Touma woke up early the next morning.

It wasn't because he couldn't sleep, but he had formed a very elaborate and intricate plan for today. He planned for his bad luck to strike in full force, so he had to take insane levels of precautions. First, he had to move the cookies and chocolate out of the dorm without Index seeing him. He opened the bathroom door carefully and checked on her. She was still fast asleep and he sighed in relief. He crept silently out the front door and locked it with a soft click behind him. I hope Tsuchimikado will keep up his end of the bargain. He glanced over at Motoharu's dorm next to his and, to his relief, saw the box he had to take over to Tokiwadai High School. After he had left Accelerator's house, he debated how to keep Index from finding the food. He managed to convince Motoharu to hold onto it and put it out early the next morning. Touma figured Motoharu only did it because it involved Touma giving gifts to girls. Either way, Touma was grateful he came through on his end.

The next problem was getting to the high school.

Touma was supposed to meet Yuna before school to give her the box of cookies for the girls. The catch was he had to go as Kami. He had sworn he had burnt the Kami outfit after the last trip to the high school, but his friends magically obtained a new one. Touma didn't doubt Motoharu had a dozen or more outfits hidden away somewhere, but he had more pressing matters at hand. Rather than trying to walk across the city, carrying a large box, he took the bus. A cab was out of the question with the funds available to him. It was early enough, with the sun just beginning to rise, the bus was pretty empty. It wasn't uncommon for students to bring projects to school, so he didn't stand out. Instead of getting off at the stop closes to Tokiwadai, he got off a stop earlier. One, it wouldn't draw as much attention and, two, there was a public restroom he could change at. The dangerous part was yet to come.

He had to meet Yuna behind the high school without being spotted.

He stuck his out and looked around. Only one person was on the street and walking away from him. He stepped out and bolted down a backway. He memorized the map of the area and plotted several routes in case one was blocked. He was almost seen once, but managed to dart down an alley before the person got a good look at him. Touma looked at his watch and realized he was five minutes earlier at the arranged meeting point. He looked around and leaned up against a building. The street he was on wouldn't be busy for at least half an hour, so even if he was spotted now, he would have time to leave. It was also out of the way for normal students, so the girls of Tokiwadai shouldn't run into him. He was not keen on explaining himself now. Things were going well for him.

Almost too well.

Something bad is going to happen to me, Touma thought. No matter how much I prepare, something big will happen. He had taken every precaution possible to avoid running into misfortune, but there were still limits to what a normal high school boy could do. He waited patiently, but constantly observed his surroundings, when a girl finally rounded the corner.

"I hope I didn't keep you waiting!" Yuna called out with a wide smile. "I had to sneak away from a couple of my friends."

"I just arrived," Touma lied. This felt oddly like one of those manga scenes were a guy and girl agreed to meet up on a date. "Thanks for being willing to pass out the gifts," Touma continued gratefully. "With this being a school day, I doubt I would have time to pass these all out myself. Every package should be labeled with a name. I hope this isn't too much trouble for you."

"Not at all," Yuna said dismissively. She brushed her long brown ponytail back over her shoulder. "I was happy to get the chance to meet you again." She made a pouty face, which Touma immediately recognized as being fake. He was used to a couple other girls looking at him like that to try to trick him into doing stuff for them. "You never stopped by our school again."

"You know I can't," Touma protested. "I'm a boy and it's an all girls' school." He stopped talking when she winked at him and started rummaging through the box of gifts.

"Hah," she laughed and pulled out a package. "Here is mine." She raised an eyebrow and looked down. "Here's Hanabi's and… what's this?" She pulled out two more packages instead of one. "You got Hibiki something too? I didn't know she sent you something."

"I figured if I was giving her sister something, then I should give her something," Touma answered. "I know her a little better than most of the girls here anyways."

"She gave Accelerator some homemade chocolates on Valentine's Day," Yuna reminded him. "Any idea if he is going to return the favor?" Touma remembered Accelerator made five gifts, but he couldn't be sure who the last three were for. He could only shrug in response. "I thought they clicked, but Hibiki won't give me any details. They have definitely met each other occasionally, but I can't find out what they did." She turned to Touma. "Oh, I promised to meet you alone, but I brought someone with me." She turned around and called out, "Hey, you going to come out or do I need to drag you!?" There was silence for a moment, before Hanabi slowly emerged from around the corner.

"Hello," Hanabi greeted Touma nervously as she approached.

"Don't be so shy," Yuna laughed and threw her arm around Hanabi's shoulder. "You know he's not a bad guy and look," she pushed a bag into her hands. "He brought you chocolate, homemade too." She leaned up and whispered in her ear. "See, he likes you." Hanabi's face flushed a deep red.

"Good to see you Hanabi-san," Touma said, as he tried to pretend he couldn't hear everything. "How have you been?"

"I've been fine," Hanabi replied. "Been busy with school, clubs, and my friends. Yuna requires a lot of my time."

"She seems rather high maintenance," Touma acknowledged. "I have to watch my friends a lot too or they get in trouble. I understand your pain." They both laughed and Yuna rolled her eyes.

"Get a room you two," she said and pushed Hanabi from behind. Hanabi stumbled forward and Touma held out an arm to catch her. She landed against his chest and looked up. Her red face was now glowing scarlet. Touma felt his face grow hot, but luckily it was hidden under his mask. "There you go," Yuna laughed.

"Sorry for her," Hanabi mumbled.

"I told you I understand," Touma whispered back.

"You're so nice," she mumbled and then said something to catch him completely off guard. "You have to run. She set up a trap."

"Huh?" Touma was completely confused, but everything was cleared up a moment later. Dozens of girls appeared on both ends of the street, all of whom were wearing the Tokiwadai High School uniform. Many of them were smirking, while others looked apprehensive. At least half of them had their phones out ready to take pictures. Touma realized he was boxed in and looked down at Hanabi. She avoided his eyes, not out of embarrassment, but out of guilt. "Err, what's happening?" He hoped it wasn't what he thought, but Hanabi could not answer him. Yuna did it instead.

"You rarely come around here," Yuna explained. "We could hardly pass up the opportunity when you do." Touma gulped.

Such misfortune.

Touma was incredibly late for school.

The first good thing was as he walked through the empty hallways, he saw a familiar girl. "Senpai!" he called out. Seria stopped and turned around, a folder clutched in her hand.

"Kamijou?" she asked. "What are you doing out of class?"

"I was late to school," Touma explained. "But I have something for you." He set down the bag and reached inside. "Here you go." He handed a wrapped box to her.

"Aww," Seria replied and Touma's ears burned. "Thank you." Before he could react, she swooped down and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Now, you should hurry to class. You don't want to miss the entire morning."

"Bye," was all Touma could mutter. She's really the perfect older girl. His brain was a little fuzzy as Seria left. He walked the rest of the way to his class, but it felt like his feet were barely touching the ground. When he reached the door to his class, he suddenly sunk back down to earth. This is going to be bad. He learned against the door.

He staggered into his classroom. It had been tough to open the door with his hands full. One of his bags was his basic school supplies, while the other was cookies for his classmates. He had received chocolates from all of the girls, so he had to return the favor. He had stashed the bag of cookies in a public locker near his school. He picked it up before heading to class to make it easier on him, but he had hoped to arrive on time. When he opened the door, every pair of eyes in his class turned toward him. He gulped, but the class was unusually quiet. He was aware of his sweaty face, torn pants, and unkempt hair, but his class was used to that. With his luck, there was a fifty-fifty chance he managed to get to class without something happening to him. Touma took a deep breath and prepared for the inevitable, but tried to pass it off. "Sorry I'm late sensei," he said to Komoe.

"You know if you are going to be late," Komoe admonished and wagged a finger at him. "You should let the school know. I was worried." Her eyes fell to the bag of cookies in his hand. "We are about to go on break and I just finished the lecture. You might as well pass those out." She looked at him. "Why are you so late Kamijou-chan?"

"I had to drop something off," Touma muttered embarrassed. "And it sort of turned into an adventure getting back." Komoe nodded in understanding and Touma was just about to start passing out the bag to his class, when his friends betrayed him.

"He was off delivering gifts to girls from other schools!" Motoharu called out. "They probably didn't want him to leave!"

That's kind of true, Touma thought to himself. The girls mainly took pictures with him as he passed out the cookies. Yuna had told everyone who sent Kami gifts that she was meeting him behind their school. The girls were really keen on talking with him and Touma tried his best to answer their questions, without giving to much information about himself so they could find him. He did note that while they didn't let him leave, they were all really polite and kind. He could tell they were high class girls, but they were still high school students. One girl with an Aero Hand ability touched his mask to try to knock it off, but Touma managed to stop it with his hand just in time. Yuna reprimanded her and the girl apologized for getting caught up in the moment. As soon as he could get away, he bolted. In his haste, he tripped around a corner, which caused his pants to tear and a hook caught the corner of his Kami jacket. It was torn off him from the force of the fall. He didn't stay to collect it, so Tokiwadai had most likely acquired a souvenir.

"Kami-yan!" Pierce roared. "I only got pity chocolates and you got to go and hang out with your harem from other schools! It's time for you to suffer!" He and about half of the remaining guys started pelting Touma with everything they could reach and he had to cover his face with his arms. The girls were shouting at the boys for being stupid, but that seemed to just rally them even more. The dark auras continued to grow in the class as the boys begun planning a swift and vengeful strike against Touma. Komoe was desperately trying to restore order, but was unsuccessful. The class was descending into utter chaos and Touma was about to bolt to avoid being killed, when Seiri stood up. Her eyes were closed, her hand was clenched into a fist, and a vein was throbbing in her head.

She delivered swift unmerciful justice upon a half dozen guys.

"You idiots need to shut up!" she roared and stood over several lifeless bodies with her arms crossed under her ample chest. "If Kamijou has to return gifts for White Day, you shouldn't be hassling him." The guys had gotten quiet, afraid for their lives, since Seiri could focus on them now that Motoharu and Pierce were unconscious. Seiri turned her eyes to Touma and his face went pale. He hadn't done anything to warrant being the target of her fury. "And you need to stop letting things get out of hand!" she told him and pointed. "This happens because you let your friends rile everyone up! Plus, you shouldn't be late. Sensei was worried about you."

"Only because she was hoping for a gift," Pierce muttered darkly from the floor. Seiri kicked him in the head.

"Sorry," Touma replied. "I found out if I fight back, it tends to escalate."

"Now that everyone has calmed down," Komoe continued, as the bell rang. "You have your morning break, so Kamijou, go ahead and pass out your gifts." She turned to leave.

"Wait sensei," Touma called out and handed her a bag. "This is for you."

"Thank you Kamijou-chan," Komoe said and she blushed heavily. Many of the guys started glaring at him and Touma felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He turned around and started passing out the bags to the rest of the girls in his class. Many of them turned red and looked away when he handed them theirs. Touma tried to ignore the guys muttering darkly about him and he finally sat down in his seat after finishing with Seiri and Aisa.

"Thanks Kamijou," Seiri told him.

"Thank you," Aisa said. "Not a lot of people remember me."

"You just have to be a little more outgoing," Touma reassured her. "Once people know the real you, you will have a ton of friends." She blushed slightly and looked away, while muttering something about galge. Touma turned toward Jason and Accelerator, two of the few people who had not been involved in the earlier shenanigans. "What's up with you two? I expected at least one of you to make the situation worse." His eyes fell on Jason, who grinned back.

"I have a lot on my plate," Jason responded and put on an air of being offended. "I had to pass out some gifts and plan for this evening with Kazari. My life doesn't revolve around you after you rejected my advances all those time." He sniffed. "I was so hurt on Valentine's Day, you didn't get me anything."

"No one's going to fall for that anymore," Touma said and rolled his eyes. "Seriously, I'm going to tell Uiharu-san what you say here."

"That would probably cause her overactive imagination to explode with dirty thoughts," Jason laughed and then looked thoughtful. "That actually sounds fun…." Touma realized this route wasn't going to be beneficial for anyone and instead turned to Accelerator.

"Did you get yours delivered?" Touma asked.

"I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about," Accelerator snapped. "Stop meddling, hero."

"Did we hear that correctly?" Motoharu asked. He and Pierce had gained consciousness. "Accelerator is giving chocolates to girls? I only saw him give Fukiyose-sama some store bought chocolates."

"She gave me some," Accelerator muttered and looked away. "I'm supposed to give some back."

"He has three more boxes," Pierce said from the floor as he rummaged through Accelerator's bag. "One is for Hibiki-sa-…" Accelerator moved faster than Touma had ever seen him before. Pierce was sent flying and Accelerator zipped up his bag. His face looked furious, but there was a slight tinge of embarrassment there.

"Touch my stuff again and I'm going to rip your hands off!" Accelerator snapped.

"Wow Accel-kun," Motoharu laughed. He used the old nickname that kept getting under Accelerator's skin. "You like a couple girls enough to give them gifts. Who's the other two?"

"None of your damn business!"

"He must be planning to deliver them after school," Pierce added when he walked back over. He was cracking his neck with one hand. "Kagere delivered his this morning."

"How did you know that?" Jason asked surprised.

"You arrived only a few seconds before the bell," Pierce explained. "It was obvious, but you just confirmed it now."

"You finished delivering all your obligations then?" Touma asked.

"Yep," Jason confirmed. "Smooth sailing until my date with Kazari. Though, I bet one girl is going to be a little… fed up… with my antics."

"What did you do?" Touma asked exasperatedly.

"Might have delivered something in a little showy manner," Jason mumbled.

"She's going to be annoyed at least then." Touma shook his head.

"So how many girls you have left to deliver gifts too?" Motoharu asked Touma. "Nee-chin hasn't received hers yet and I know she's waiting anxiously for it."

"If she heard you talking this way, you would probably get punched," Touma pointed out.

"She's just shy. You need to be forceful with her."

"What the hell do you mean by forceful?!"

"When you deliver your chocolates," Motoharu explained. "Hand it to her, look her in the eyes and say you never met anyone like her. She's going to get flustered and be unable to act while you lean in and kiss her. After that, she will be putty in your hand. She doesn't have experience with love, so it will be way easier than normal."

"That would get me killed!" Touma protested. "She's super strong and one embarrassed or angry punch is going to send me to the hospital."

"Then you can work on the nurses," Motoharu pointed out.

"That strategy would probably work on the third rate too," Accelerator pointed out. "She's a brat and doesn't have any experience. She would turn red and stand there stunned while shooting off electricity, but you can handle that."

"You bastard!" Pierce yelled at Touma and put him in a headlock. "Stop taking all the girls and leave some for me! I don't want to spend my life alone."

"Stop being a pervert and you might find someone!" Touma refuted and struggled with Pierce's hold.

"Shokuhou-san would probably drop her skirt if he only asked," Jason pointed out too. "She's devoted to him."

"She would be the easiest one to capture," Motoharu agreed.

"Why do you make it sound like I'm some kind a player?!" Touma demanded, but the guys ignored him.

"Saten-san would be easy too," Motoharu mumbled. "The one to take skill would be Mugino-san and her friends."

"I thought Kinuhata-san liked Accelerator?" Jason asked.

"If she did," Accelerator yawned. "She didn't get me anything."

"I'm curious how Touma's going to court Mugino-san," Jason continued. "I remember she gave him something."

"She's a yandere," Motoharu explained. "So it has to be done carefully, but he has to be forceful. She only pretends she likes being dominant. I bet she wants to be the one being dominated. Kami-yan has to tell her she needs to kiss him before he gives her his gift. He might have to dodge a couple of her attacks first."

"You guys are going to get me killed!" Touma roared and finally knocked Pierce off him. "After school, I'm delivering my gifts, will probably get a thank you, and then I will be on my way. Nothing will happen, you morons!"

"Except a flurry of kisses," Pierce growled jealously.

"At the least," Jason added.

"We all know better," Motoharu finished. Touma opened his mouth to argue, but Accelerator put the final nail into Touma's social coffin.

"Try telling that to the Lessar brat, hero," Accelerator said with a smirk.

"Onee-sama!" Kuroko called out happily.

"Hey Kuroko," Mikoto replied and side stepped one of Kuroko's famous hugs. Kuroko hadn't been quite as obsessed with her lately, since Kuroko finally managed to come to terms with her new feelings, but she still kept trying to initiate physical contact way more than what was necessary. "I'm planning on heading back to the dorm. It had been a long day."

"I figured that," Kuroko admitted. "After how many chocolates you received on Valentine's Day, today must have been rough."

"Tell me about it," Mikoto mumbled. She felt exhausted every time she remembered the giant pile of sweets on her desk last month and then everything else she received throughout the day. Since Tokiwadai was an all girls' school, the normal boy-girl relationship for the holidays didn't apply to the vast majority of them. A few girls had boyfriends, but the rest would give other girls gifts. On White Day, the girls who received gifts would return the favor. "I help out a few people with school work or from being harassed and they treat me like an idol."

"That's because they know how special you are," Kuroko responded and beamed at her.

"Speaking of which," Mikoto continued and reached into her bag. "We were in such a rush this morning, I didn't have time to give them to you." She handed Kuroko a box of handmade chocolates. Mikoto had to head to school early with her chocolates to pass them out before class started. Even then, she had not been able to finish and had to use up part of her lunch break.

"Thanks onee-sama!" Kuroko cheered and hugged her tightly. Mikoto put up with it because Kuroko was not actively trying to feel her up. "It made this horrible day so much better."

"Horrible?" Mikoto asked confused.

"Well," Kuroko amended. "Horrible might be a bit too strong of a word." She started mumbling.

"What happened?" Mikoto asked and Kuroko turned away from her. Before Mikoto could pressure her for more details, a couple girls walked passed them. They must have been in Kuroko's year because one of them turned to talk to her.

"So, Shirai-san," the girl said. "Are you going to thank him for the gift?" Kuroko straightened up instantly and looked over at the girl. Mikoto noticed Kuroko's face had turned pink. Kuroko gave a noncommittal shrug and the girls giggled before continuing on their way. Kuroko didn't speak again and eventually Mikoto couldn't contain her curiosity.

"What were they talking abou-…?" Mikoto asked when they exited the school building. Before she could finish asking her question, another girl interrupted them.

"Miiisssaaakkkaa!" Misaki's honey sweet voice called and out Mikoto flinched. "Shirai-san!"

"Hello Shokuhou," Mikoto relented and turned around.

"Hello," Kuroko said politely.

"I hope you two are well," Misaki said sweetly and Mikoto immediately felt like Misaki wanted to discuss something. "Have you two heard all the rumors today?"

Knew it, Mikoto thought. "Now that you mentioned it, I heard a lot more girls in my class whispering about something. I tend to ignore those rumors, so I never asked." Mikoto saw Kuroko glance away from them and she grew suspicious again. Misaki also noticed, because she was staring at her.

"I think you would find two of them interesting." Misaki turned and addressed Mikoto. "The first deals with our mutual friend, Kami."

"What did he do now?" Mikoto sighed and face palmed. That idiot did something on accident again. I should have known it would happen today. Speaking of which, I haven't received anything today yet. I hope he got me something.

"Seems he paid a visit to Tokiwadai High School to drop off White Day gifts," Misaki informed her. "The girls there decided he should stay for a little bit and they posted a lot of pictures online." She laughed. "I can imagine the look on his face under his mask."

"He wasn't unmasked, right?" Mikoto asked and Misaki shook her head. "That's good. It would cause him a loud of problems."

"And us," Misaki pointed out.

"Definitely," Mikoto sighed. "It's hard enough trying to keep the others-…" She slammed her mouth shut and Misaki raised an eyebrow. I didn't mean it like that. The thing is he's always surrounded by other girls.

"That ape was so stupid," Kuroko muttered. "He should have just mailed it instead of showing up in person. It would be a lot less disruptive."

"Speaking of disruptions," Misaki said and turned toward Kuroko. "I heard an interesting rumor about a certain visitor dropping something off for you." Kuroko's faced flushed and she looked away.

"Okay," Mikoto told Kuroko firmly. "You know something. Let's hear it."

"Fine," Kuroko relented. "This morning, someone dropped off a gift for me in my class. Some of my classmates saw it on my desk and the rumor spread."

"That doesn't sound that bad," Mikoto pointed out.

"She's leaving a lot of important information out," Misaki informed Mikoto.

"Like what?"

"The fact the visitor was a boy-…"

"Keep your voice down!" Kuroko hushed.

"A boy?" Mikoto asked in astonishment and confusion. "How did he get in…? Oh, of course." She shook her head. "It was Kagere-san, wasn't it?" Kuroko didn't say anything. "I suppose I could ask around if you won't tell me."

"I'll tell!" Kuroko surrendered quickly. "Please don't make the rumors worse!"

"My, Misaka," Misaki said impressed. "You have gotten better at manipulating people." Mikoto glared at her for a moment, but she just smiled back innocently.

"Go on," Mikoto prodded Kuroko, as they begun to leave the school grounds. "I heard him say before he could bypass Tokiwadai's security if he wanted too, but I never thought he actually would."

"I don't know how he did it either," Kuroko confessed. "He managed to get to my class unseen to drop off my gift. This wouldn't have been a problem if he just left, but I guess he didn't know which seat was mine. One of my classmates arrived early and saw him. He asked her which desk was mine and she told him. He left right after that." Kuroko face palmed. "If she didn't spread that information around, I wouldn't have had to deal with questions on who he was all day!" She looked up when she heard snickering. Mikoto and Misaki had their hands over their mouths and looking away from her. "It's not funny!"

"It's pretty funny," Mikoto corrected, highly amused.

"Sounds like he wasn't doing anything wrong," Misaki added.

"He broke into an area where boys are not allowed!"

"It happens," Misaki said with a shrug. "Guys do stupid things all the times."

"Tell me about it," Mikoto agreed. "Remember England?" All three girls laughed. Kuroko looked a little better, but she was still waiting for the rumors to disappear. Mikoto's and Misaki's phones suddenly beeped within a few seconds of each other. Mikoto pulled out her phone and glanced down at the message. She smiled when she saw who the number was from. Finally. Touma wants to meet me this afternoon when I'm available. I bet he wants to give me the White Day gift. I have to let him know I'm free now.

"Should we meet him together?" Misaki asked, which caused Mikoto to jump.

"W-what?!" stuttered Mikoto. "How did you know he contacted me?"

"Because he sent me a message too," Misaki answered sweetly. "I assume he sent it to you too. After all, he's much to kind to ignore one of us when we both gave him gifts."

"I suppose," Mikoto said reluctantly. She remembered how difficult it was to give Touma her gift. It was a pretty simple gift, chocolate in the shape of a heart, but she had made it herself, rather than buying it. She spent a good part of an hour trying to give it to him. The look of gratitude on his face made it all worth it though and she spent that night having very vivid dreams. Not even Misaki giving Touma some elaborate chocolate bundle could dampen Mikoto's mood back then. "That sounds odd coming from you though."

"I'm only thinking about him," Misaki explained. "He's most likely in the middle of trying to return the favor for all the gifts he received. If we go together, he can give us our gifts at once. This will save him time."

"That's… reasonable," Mikoto admitted. She knows trying to monopolize him today wouldn't amount to anything.

"I knew you would see it my way," Misaki giggled. I'll use this to score points with him and then ask him to accompany me later. I'm not a fan of him giving other girls gifts, but I can put up with it today.

"Humph," Kuroko mumbled and crossed her arms. "I know I shouldn't let onee-sama meet with that ape alone, but he has to return the favor of her giving him a gift. I would have to have a word with him if he didn't."

"She won't be alone," Misaki reassured her. "I'll be there and I doubt she will try anything." Kuroko took the gleam in Misaki's eyes to mean she wouldn't let Mikoto try anything.

"I trust you," Kuroko finally said. "Well, if you two are going to go meet him, I suppose I can go find something else to do." She didn't like the fact she was leaving Mikoto's side, but she wasn't interesting in meeting Touma. Besides, with Misaki there and Touma's situation of delivering gifts, Mikoto was sure to be back sooner than later.

"Like maybe thank Kagere-san for the gift?" Mikoto asked and her eyes twinkled.

"W-what?!" spluttered Kuroko. "Of course not. He obviously had to give me a gift because I was nice enough to give him a gift on Valentine's Day. Besides, he's off with Uiharu, so it's not like I can expect to see him today."

"So you know his schedule?" Misaki asked with a raised eyebrow. "That's interesting."

"I-it's not like that," Kuroko denied, but her face flushed. "I expect you to return soon onee-sama." She disappeared right in front of them.

"She is so much fun to tease," Misaki laughed. "Though, I'm surprised she gets so embarrassed when we mention her being with Kagere-san. She used to be a lot bolder when she loved you."

"I think it's because she doesn't know how to act around guys," Mikoto said. "She's been used to telling them off or ignoring them. "Kagere-san might regret it if she starts reverting to her old tendencies with him. I better not find stolen male underwear in our room.

"Looks like she finally hit puberty then," Misaki continued. "Anyways, we shouldn't keep Touma waiting."

"Let's go," Mikoto agreed. She was interested in meeting Touma, which overshadowed her desire not to spend a lot of time with Misaki. It was then something occurred to her. Huh, I don't hate spending time with her as much as I used to. If she would just be more honest and wouldn't keep trying to push me away from Touma, we might actually be able to find common ground.

Touma was waiting on a park bench with a bag next to him. He was a little surprised Misaki and Mikoto were going to meet him together. When he had texted them, he was thinking he would find a time to meet them one on one, but he probably should have guessed they would have similar schedules being at the same school. It does make my job easier. Besides theirs, I still have Ruiko, Mugino, Frenda, Kanzaki, Itsuwa, Lessar and Index. Everyone else has theirs or I mailed it out. I hope nothing like this morning occurs when I try to finish. I still have homework to do. He watched a couple people pass by and then glanced up toward the sky. At least the weather is holding. There were quite a few clouds in the sky, but no sign of rain. He looked at his phone and saw a message from Ruiko. He texted her back asking if they could meet somewhere in a little bit and then put his phone away. Two familiar faces caught his attention and he waved.

"Calling two girls from Tokiwadai all the way out to a remote place in the park?" Misaki asked sweetly when she and Mikoto drew near to him. "What kind of ideas could possibly be going through a young man's mind?"

"When did you get so bold?" Mikoto added. "That's so unlike you."

"W-what?!" Touma replied flustered. "I was just… it's not like that. I swear I was only..." His voice died off when they started snickering and his shocked face turned to suspicion. "You two are messing with me, right? I wasn't thinking anything like that."

"We are," Misaki reassured him and patted him on the shoulder. She was still chuckling slightly. "I couldn't resist seeing your embarrassed face."

"Sorry," Mikoto apologized. She had a hand over her face to cover her own embarrassment and amusement. "She was very persuasive on the way here."

"I understand," Touma sighed and then smiled at them. "Everyone likes to tease me." He knew Misaki had a way with words that could convince people do things. She didn't even have to use her power. What made him grin was the fact Mikoto and Misaki were getting along a lot better than when they first met after the tournament. I'm glad they are friends with me and can joke easily together. He reached over and took out two boxes from his bag. "Here. Thanks for the gifts on Valentine's Day. Sorry it's not really fancy."

"It's fine," Mikoto replied quickly. "It's the thought that matters." She realized what she said and she could swear smoke was coming out of her ears. Her face was burning when she took the box from him.

"Anything you give me I will treasure," Misaki told him and took the box. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you."

"Ah!" Mikoto exclaimed and looked around. They were the only ones nearby and she steeled her resolve. Her rivalry with Misaki was fierce and she couldn't keep falling so far behind. She leaned forward and gave Touma quick peck on the other cheek before she missed the opportunity. It only lasted a fraction of a second before she pulled away. Her face was now glowing scarlet. I can't believe I did that. It was so reckless, but I can't stand Shokuhou one-upping me. Her brain stopped thinking straight after that when her actions finally sunk in.

"Err," Touma stammered, his mind not working well either. He had just been kissed by two very attractive girls and his male hormones were telling him to do something about it. It took all his self-control not to do anything he would regret in the morning. He had to find a way to escape and calm down or his youth was going to overpower rational thought. "Thanks for coming to meet me at such short notice. I really hate to leave…"

"I bet," Misaki whispered with a knowing gleam in her eye.

"… but I have several more gifts to deliver before I can start on all my homework." He sighed. "Komoe-sensei gave me extra for being late to class."

"We heard you had visited the high school this morning," Misaki told him and it took a lot of self-control not to laugh again. "I was following the posts on their school forum all day."

"I was only supposed to meet Ishikawa-san and gave her the gifts so she could pass them out to the others," Touma explained. "But they ambushed me and kept me tied up there for hours."

"Oh, they used rope? I didn't hear about that."

"I meant they kept taking photographs and asking me questions, while blocking the exits." Touma glanced at the time on his phone. "I'm sorry. I really need to get going. I hope you enjoy your gifts and let's hang out later."

"Okay," Misaki agreed and waved good-bye to him as he walked away. She hated to see him leave and briefly debated on following, but she resisted the urges. He has to deliver those gifts and my presence would only make it awkward for him. She sighed to herself and put a hand on her cheek. I really should be more assertive, but I can't bring myself to cause him trouble like Lessar. She glanced over at Mikoto, who was still standing motionless while looking at the package in her hands. Misaki scooted next to her and wave a hand in front of her face. "Heeelloooo, Miiissaakkkaaa? You still here?"

"Huh?" Mikoto asked, after she jumped slightly. She shook her head and rejoined Misaki in the present. "Sorry, was just thinking. Where did Touma ago?" She looked around.

"He had to finish delivering his gifts," Misaki answered. "You really shouldn't be spacing out so much. It's rude." She started opening her gift box. "I wonder what he gave me." She peeked inside. "Oh my, it's lovely." She pulled out a small round personal size cake. It was obvious Touma made it himself. It was covered in white frosting with small flowers made of yellow frosting, the same color as Misaki's hair, adorned the top edge. Her first name was written neatly on the top in the same yellow icing. She smiled as she imagined Touma crafting the cake specifically for her. After putting it gingerly back in the box to save for later, she turned to Mikoto. "Are you going to open yours or just stare at my gift all day?"

"Oh, right." Mikoto tore her eyes away from Misaki and began to open her box. She glanced inside and froze for a moment. "He really worked hard on these."

"Let me see," Misaki said and pushed up next to Mikoto. "He knows you so well," she commented after looking down. Her interests are so childish.

It was the face of Gekota made entirely of white chocolate.

"The features are perfect," Mikoto commented amazed. Now I'm not sure if I can eat this. She suddenly realized Misaki was pushing her chest up against her. A vein throbbed in her head. "Can you get those blobs of fat off me?!" Mikoto pushed Misaki with one hand to finally get her to move.

"Someone sounds jealous," Misaki giggled. "There's no reason to get so upset because you accidently felt them." Misaki's eyes widened slightly and she grinned. "Do you perhaps like them? I suppose as part of our newly established friendship I could give you a feel."

"Shut up!" Mikoto snapped and then a thought occurred to her to push all the irritation she felt at Misaki out of her mind. "Even if he made all the gifts instead of buying them," she muttered. "And since he had to deliver gifts addressed to Kami too, how much did he spend on buying all the ingredients? He doesn't have a lot of money and is usually on the verge of being broke, especially with Index living with him."

"Hmm," Misaki murmured and the smile on her face slipped off. After a moment of thought, she spoke again. "I see your point. This can be easily rectified though. I'll just have to make him homemade lunches more often. He is a growing boy and needs to keep his strength up to help people."

"When did you learn how to cook?" Mikoto demanded. "You never even cook for yourself."

"Love makes a girl do some crazy things," Misaki replied with a wink. "Besides, I made him lunch once before. It was a little difficult, but it was worth every minute when I saw the gratitude in his eyes." She turned and started strolling away and Mikoto automatically followed her, since she was heading in the direction of their dorm.

I do feel bad for Touma, Mikoto thought, while she stared at her gift. He goes to such lengths to make sure we all received gifts, even when his financial resources say he shouldn't. I would have been happy with a few chocolates. Maybe I should help out, but he wouldn't accept any money from me. He protests a lot when I simply pay for a meal. Shokuhou-san might actually have an idea. All the manga I've seen show guys love homemade food. I could stop by his place and make him dinner or something. That way I can buy the ingredients so he won't have to. If Index is there, I'll just have to bring more to feed her, but that shouldn't be a problem. If she's not there, maybe afterwards we could… no, there's no way that will happen. She kept telling herself that, but it didn't stop her imagination.

Her face was red the entire walk back to her dorm.

"Hey Touma!" Ruiko called out cheerfully.

"Hey," Touma greeted her.

"You sound exhausted," Ruiko pointed out and leaned close to peer at his face. "Long day?"

"You don't know the half of it," Touma sighed and sunk down on a bench. "I've been running all over Academy City."

"And getting mobbed by girls at Tokiwadai High?" Ruiko asked amused.

"How do you know about that?" Touma asked shocked.

"I would be surprised if anyone has not heard about it," Ruiko explained and sat down next to him. She held up her phone. "It's all over the online forums. They really enjoyed your visit and the gifts. Since they don't know your address, most of them are thanking you online. Some are probably going to send letters to your school, so you might want to be prepared for that."

"Great," Touma moaned. "Just what I need."

"So, Touma," Ruiko said and her tone suddenly grew serious. "I need to ask you something important."

"What is it?" Touma asked with a frown. Ruiko wasn't normally so serious.

"Something had occurred to me," Ruiko explained. "I noticed you have done something for Misaka-san, Shokuhou-san, and many of the others, but not for me."

"W-what are you referring to?" Touma asked nervously. He had learned not to spout out what he was thinking, and in this case it was a good thing. What did I do with them that I didn't do with her? Could she mean… a kiss? But…I didn't think she knew I did it with Mikoto.

"When are you going to visit me and Uiharu?" Ruiko asked and then burst out into a grin.

"When… huh?" Touma was knocked out of his worried state of mind but the surprising question.

"You visited Tokiwadai High School and I heard you visited Shokuhou-san and Misaka-san at their dorms, but not mine." Ruiko winked at him. "We only meet up somewhere else."

"There are reasons," Touma admitted. "The first is nothing came up to head over there. We usually meet somewhere in between because it's convenient for both of us. I suppose it would be possible if you really want me to. Your school is coed, so it's not like I would be breaking any rules." Something occurred to him. "As long as you don't expect me to go as Kami. Seriously, I want that persona to disappear."

"I figured that much," Ruiko laughed. "If something happens at our school, I'll make sure to invite you."

"How come that is the most reasonable thing I have ever heard before I get invited to another school?" Touma said and leaned back in the seat. Ruiko giggled. "Oh, before I get distracted and forget, here." He handed her a gift box. "Thank you for the chocolates last month."

"It was my pleasure," Ruiko replied and her face turned slightly red when she took the gift. She unwrapped it slowly and glanced in. There was a little bit of white chocolate wrapped up, but she pushed it aside to reveal a book under it. "What's this?"

"I found it at a bookstore," Touma replied. "It seemed pretty old and, when I saw the title, I immediately thought of you."

"Oh!" Ruiko explained when she saw the title. "It's a book on Japanese mythology." She flipped through a couple pages. "I haven't heard about half of these. This is great." She hugged Touma before she realized what she was doing. Her face turned red, she let go, and then turned away from him. "Thank you Touma."

"I'm glad you liked it," Touma replied, equally as embarrassed. They sat in silence for a moment, before Touma spoke up. "I have to be going. Gifts still need delivering. Try not to keep Uiharu-san up at night reading that book."

"I promise," Ruiko answered with a laugh and watched him go. She was slightly sad he left so soon, but she appreciated the thought he put into the gift. With how Touma is to everyone around him and how popular Kami is, I should have expected him to be busy. She smiled to herself and stood up. Uiharu won't be back until late, so I should take this time to read my new book and enjoy the snacks. She would definitely want to try them and it's hard to say no when she looks at you with her sad eyes. Ruiko laughed to herself and headed back to her dorm.

Three more left to find, Touma thought to himself. Though Frenda and Mugino might be together. The problem is her. I have no idea where she is. She normally finds me at the most inconvenient time. Might as well see if I can find the others first. Touma pulled out his phone and dialed. "Hey Hamazura, would you happen to know where Mugino and Frenda are?"

"Umm," Shiage answered. "I believe they are at one of Mugino's apartments. There's nothing going on right now, so I can't be sure."

"Can you give me the address?" Touma asked.

"For security reasons I can't," Shiage replied. "But I can meet you somewhere nearby and show you."

"Great, thanks."

"Why are you looking for them instead of just calling?"

"I have to give them something and Mugino seems like the type to want others to come to her instead of the other way around. I just realized I don't know where she hangs out normally."

"I'll send you a location we can meet up in say, half an hour? I have something to finish up."

"That's fine," Touma replied. He hung up and a moment later he received the location. It was only about ten minutes away by bus, but he figured showing up early would be better than being late after asking for help. I hope I can give them their gifts and head out. I still have to head back to my dorm for the others. The bus actually came on time and he got to his destination with over fifteen minutes until Shiage was to show up. The area wasn't crowded, but there were still people going about their business. The buildings on the street were comprised of about half stores and half larger skyscrapers that could be offices or apartments. Touma decided to kill some time and look around. With his luck, the first window he looked in was a women's clothing store and underwear was being prominently displayed. He looked away, but not quick enough. Two women saw him and started whispering among themselves. Touma lowered his gaze and shuffled his feet until he was past the store.

"You know that just makes you look even guiltier," a young female voice said from behind him. The voice turned Touma's blood to ice and he spun around. Eve was standing in front of him in a pink long sleeve t-shirt with the words 'Girl Power' on the front and jeans. She grinned and waved at him.

"How long have you been following me?" Touma asked exasperatedly.

"What makes you think I have been following you?" Eve asked and Touma raised an eyebrow. He stared at her for a minute until she laughed. "Okay, I have, but only because I had nothing else to do today. I saw you giving gifts to your friends and I remembered what day it was." She looked at him expectantly with big round eyes. She looked so innocent to Touma at that moment, like a younger sister who knew her brother gotten her something.

"I have something for you," Touma finally said and Eve beamed at him. He pulled out a box wrapped in white wrapping. "Here you go. Thanks for giving me chocolate last month, but please stop trying to do things to me. Index found out what you put in them."

"I just wanted you to have an enjoyable holiday," Eve protested, as she ripped open the box. "Yay cookies!" She bite into one and sighed happily.

"By trying to get me mobbed by mind controlled girls?"

"Huh," Eve said after swallowing. "I thought most guys would enjoy that. Would you have preferred a pair of sunglasses that let you see through clothes?"

"No!" Touma answered immediately. He felt slightly ashamed a small part of his brain actually thought about that possibility. "If you really wanted to give me a gift, you could stop trying to kill God and go back to being a regular person."

"That would be impossible," Eve replied mildly. Her cheerful tone was gone, but she didn't appear angry. "Even if I wanted to." She wrapped the remaining cookies back up. "Since you are meeting someone, I'll get out of your hair today."

"Thanks?" Touma said confused. Eve was giving up to easily.

"But," Eve continued and Touma winced. "When the time comes for me to kidnap you and take you with me, I'll let you bring two of your friends to keep you company while under my… care. Think of it as thanks for being so nice to me."

"What do you mean by kidnapped!?" Touma asked wildly, but Eve didn't answer. She giggled and walked off. Touma could only stand there completely dumbstruck at what just happened. Touma didn't feel like browsing and just sat down on a bench and waited for Shiage. He didn't have to wait long and Shiage showed him to Shizuri's apartment. When he found out what Touma was planning to give Shizuri, Shiage decided staying was not a good idea. Touma wished he could leave too, but he had a job to do. He ranged the doorbell and waited.

"I got it!" a familiar voice called out. The door opened and Touma saw the small form of Saiai appear. "Kamijou?!" she asked confused. "What are you super doing here? How did you even find this place?"

"Hamazura told me…," Touma answered.

"Of course," she muttered.

"…and I have something to give to Frenda and Mugino," Touma continued. "Are they here?"

"They are," Saiai confirmed and stepped back. "Come on in." Touma nodded gratefully and stepped into the apartment. As soon as the door shut behind him, Saiai called out over her shoulder. "Mugino, Frenda, Kamijou is here to give something to you!"

"Kamijou?" Frenda stuck her head out of a room. "Seriously?"

"How did he even find this place?" Shizuri asked and walked out of another one.

"Hamazura told him," Saiai replied.

"I'm pretty sure I told him not to tell anyone a base location unless I give him permission," Shizuri mumbled. "I'll have to remind him of that." Touma made a mental note to apologize to Shiage. Her eyes turned to Touma. "What brings you here?"

"Basically," Frenda added. "You normally don't seek us out."

"I have a gift for each of you," Touma explained and pulled out two wrapped packages from his bag. "Thanks for the chocolates last month." He handed both of them one of the packages. When Saiai heard this, her eyes went wide.

"I know Frenda gave him some," Saiai gasped. "But Mugino too?" She froze when Shizuri narrowed her eyes and slowly turned her head toward her. "I'll just super be going then," she added quickly, before slipping away into another room.

"Thanks for the cookies," Frenda told Touma after opening her box.

"Can't say I expected this," Shizuri commented passively. Her face was unreadable. She didn't open her gift, but she could tell by the weight it wasn't cookies. "I don't normally give people anything, but you have been rather helpful when I summon you. Then you gave us a vacation which turned out to be rather more enjoyable than I thought." She looked down at the box. "I suppose thanks are in order. Do you want anything?"

"Huh?" Touma asked. Did I hear wrong?

"Mugino?" Frenda asked shocked.

"It's White Day," Touma reminded her. "I'm supposed to be giving the gifts today."

"I don't follow anyone's rules but my own," Shizuri scoffed. "Tell you what, you can order Frenda to do anything for you and she will do it, or she suffers the consequences." She grinned evilly when she saw the shocked looks on their faces.

"Mugino!" Frenda cried. "Don't suggest things like that. Basically, Kinuhata won't let me live it down."

"Pssh," Shizuri scoffed again. "It's not like he has the guts to order anything. If he did, I would actually make you carry out his order." Her eyes darted toward were Touma had been. "Wow, he disappeared faster than I thought."

"Did he learn how to teleport?" Frenda asked. The door was just swinging close. "Basically, if you knew he wouldn't do it, why would you suggest it?"

"To embarrass you," Shizuri pointed out and gave a short laugh. She walked back to her room and shut the door. Frenda was left standing in the main living room completely dumbstruck.

Mugino never joked around like that before, Frenda thought to herself. She's been changing ever since he showed up. She looked down at the box in her hand and picked up one of the cookies. She bit into it and her eyes went wide. Wow, he is a good cook.

Touma stood outside his dorm.

I'm almost done, he thought to himself. If he was lucky, this would be his last stop. If he was unlucky, well, this would be his last stop but a far more permanent kind of stop. Kaori and Itsuwa were supposed to be at his dorm tonight with Index. Lessar would probably be there, unless she was off with the rest of her group. Bayloupe, Floris, and Lancis were still in the city. They are the only four left. Lessar, please behave yourself. Because he couldn't be sure when Hyouka would appear, he was planning to buy her some candy the next time he saw her. He opened the door and took a step inside. He smelled something cooking and then heard a familiar voice.

"Touma!" Index called out from the other room. "You're back already? Itsuwa said you would be late."

"I finished earlier than I expected," Touma replied. "Thanks for taking care of the food Itsuwa."

"It was not a problem," Itsuwa called out. "It's the least I can do after you let me stay here. If you haven't eaten yet, dinner will be ready momentarily."

"That will be great," Touma admitted. "I'm pretty hungry." He walked into the room where Index was and saw Kaori and Lessar sitting down around the table with Index. "What are you three doing?"

"Just playing a card game with runes," Index said.

"She's winning," Lessar grumbled. "She knows all the cards that have been played already so she doesn't have to guess as much." Index wasn't actually cheating, but her perfect memory was useful in games that required memorization. She looked up at Touma and grinned. "Sorry I can't greet your properly. The Saint here grabbed my tail as soon as you opened the door."

"You were planning to assault him the moment he walked into his own room," Kaori said calmly. "Good evening Kamijou."

"I wasn't going to assault him," Lessar protested. "I was going to greet him with intimate physical contact and then, in a freak unrelated incident, all of our clothes will disappear."

"Hence, assault," Kaori stated.

"How would your clothes disappear?" Index asked. "Is your clothing made with magic? You should know better. It happened to m-…" She suddenly grew red and shut her mouth. Kaori's eyes widened and she looked between Index and Touma. Before she could say anything, Lessar spoke up.

"That… THAT IS BRILLIANT!" Lessar exclaimed and caused everyone else to jump. "Why didn't I think of that before? Magic clothes that disappear at his touch? It's perfect. I'm going to have to get those ready then."

"Don't!" Touma yelled. Because of all the shouting, Itsuwa stuck her head in.

"Is everything okay?" she asked.

"Lessar's acting crazy again," Touma explained. "But since you are all here," he reached into his bag. "I have gifts for each of you as thanks for the chocolates on Valentine's Day." He passed out the boxes to the girls.

"Thank you," Itsuwa said and turned red.

"This is a surprise," Kaori said. "Thank you." She was able to control her emotions better, but there was still a pink tinge on her cheeks.

"I knew Lover Boy cared about me," Lessar said happily.

"Yay, food!" Index cheered. "Thanks Touma." She tore into the packaging. Touma didn't have to worry about her spoiling her appetite, so he didn't say anything. "Wow, it's a book made of candy!" She pulled out a book made entirely of white chocolate and her name inscribed on the outside. She bit into it and her eyes lit up. "Yum, there's milk chocolate on the inside too! You're the best!" The other girls opened their boxes and looked inside.

Each of theirs was a rectangle bar of white chocolates with a drawing of their respective weapons on it. Kaori's piece had a picture of her Shichiten Shichitou. It might have looked like a normal blade, but the hilt was detailed enough for Kaori to identify it. She was surprised at how well Touma drew it. Itsuwa was in a similar mind set. Touma had drawn her weapon, the Friuli Spear. Lessar's piece had her signature Steel Glove drawn on it. All three girls were stunned for a moment as it sunk in and they had the same thought.

He really has been paying attention to me!

"I can't be quiet after this," Lessar declared and stood up. Kaori had been so distracted she had let go of Lessar's tail. This was probably a mistake. "Let me express a proper thank you… by initiating a five-way!" She lunged into the air at Touma. While in midair, she was somehow able to remove half of her clothes before she collided into Touma.

"Stop Lessar!" Touma shouted and stood up with a half-naked Lessar clutching tightly to him. He tried to shake her off, but tripped. His luck wouldn't just let him fall onto the ground. Instead, he fell toward Kaori, who had stood up to help him. His face sunk right into her chest. For a fraction of a second, Kaori was speechless, and then her instincts kicked in. She was a maiden with no experience in anything remotely sexual. Her fist flew up and connected with the side of his head. With the force of her Saint straight, he was sent flying backwards. Touma's luck didn't end there. Instead, he was saved by another soft pillow. This time, it occurred in the shape of Itsuwa, when the back of his head landed directly in her chest. His momentum knocked her down and he was now laying on top of her with Lessar still clutched tightly to him. "Owe, my head."

"Are you okay?" Itsuwa asked concerned. Her face was glowing, but she was focusing on his wellbeing.

"Sorry," Kaori mumbled embarrassed. No one heard her because a much more sinister threat had appeared.

"Tooouummmaaa!" Index was sitting down, but a pitch black aura had formed around her and her eyes were glowing red. To make matters worse, she had set down her half eaten chocolate book. This was perhaps the most terrifying sign. Index was so mad, she had actually stopped eating. Lessar didn't help diffuse the situation with her next words.

"I was wondering if you were a top or bottom person, but it turns out you like to be sandwiched."

"Such misfortune," Touma moaned as the razor sharp nun teeth descended upon him.

"Sister Agnese," Lucia announced. "A package has arrived for you."

"A package?" Agnese asked and turned around. Lucia and Angeline where walking toward her. A small brown package was held in Lucia's hands. "I wasn't expecting anything. Who is it from?"

"It came all the way from Japan," Lucia read out loud. "Sent by Mr. Touma Kami-…" She never got to finish her sentence when Agnese moved so fast, her arm was a blur. The package disappeared out of Lucia's hand and Agnese looked down at it in her clutches.

What did he send me? she thought. He should have called me if it was important. He has my number since England. She unwrapped the box and pulled out a card. Agnese, she read silently. I don't know if you know about White Day in Japan, but it's a holiday where the people who received gifts on Valentine's Day return the favor. So I hope you enjoy these. Thanks again for the chocolates. Touma Kamijou. Agnese smiled and opened the box. Inside were a dozen sugar cookies.

"What did he send you?" Lucia asked.

"A thank you gift," Agnese answered.

"Are those cookies?" Angeline asked and moved over next to Agnese. "Can I have one?"

"No," Agnese replied and held the box away from her. "He sent these specifically for me." A warning sound went off in her head at the hungry eyes from the other nun. It reminded her of Index. "I shouldn't be sharing these."

"Just one won't hurt," Angeline pleaded.

"Sister Angeline," Lucia reprimanded her. "Gluttony is a sin. You shouldn't be begging for other's food. You should be happy with vegetables, so you can grow up healthy and strong. Sister Agnese, you also shouldn't demonstrate the sin of greed."

"It's not like that," Agnese protested. "It's just a gift…" Her voice trailed off as she saw several other nuns peaked out from around bookshelves. An ominous aura was surrounding them. They had heard Agnese received a gift from the boy who had saved them all. Agnese gulped and felt sweat on her brow. It looks like I have one choice. RUN! She turned and bolted down a side hallway with several nuns right behind her. Lucia was the only one left in the room and she rubbed the temples of her head.

"What do you have there?" Sherry Cromwell asked Orsola.

"It seems like I received a package from Mr. Kamijou," Orsola stated and sat down across from Sherry. She opened the package and her eyes skimmed the card. "How thoughtful. He sent me a gift as thanks for the chocolates I sent him last month. He's such a polite young man."

"Oh yeah," Sherry remembered. "It's White Day in Japan."

"He sent me some cookies," Orsola said and pulled out one. She bit into it and put a hand up to her cheek after she swallowed. "I think these are homemade. He is quite an accomplish chef."

"Are you forgetting something?" Sherry snapped and glared at her.

"My apologies," Orsola replied. She almost forgot simple etiquette. "Here you go." She held out the box across the table. "Would you like one? It was rude of me not to offer sooner."

"Not that!" snapped Sherry again. "We are in the library. You know you are not supposed to eat in here. Look, you already dropped a bunch of crumbs onto that book in front of you."

"Oops," Orsola commented and brushed the crumps off the book with her hand.

"Don't just knock them on the floor!" Sherry cried. "Do you even stop to think of your actions?"

"It would be easier to vacuum them off the floor than from the book," Orsola pointed out. Sherry face palmed.

"What is it Mark?" Leivinia muttered without even looking up from her desk. "I'm busy."

"An unusual package has arrived for you," Mark stated. This caused Leivinia to actually look up.

"What do you mean by unusual?" she asked. "We have procedures for when our rivals try something stupid like sending a trapped box. You better not be wasting my time with something so trivial."

"It's the sender," Mark explained and set the package down in front of her. "I figured you would want to see to it personally."

"Okay," Leivinia responded and now gave him her undivided attention. "If you are wasting my time, I'm going to get creative with my punishment." Marked gulped as she glanced down at the sender. "Humph, seriously? That boy sent me something? How did he even get our address?" Mark could only shrug. "What did he consider so important to actually mail to me?" She tore off the wrapping and ripped open the card. A tinge of pink formed on her cheeks when she read why he sent her a gift. She took a deep breath and composed herself. "Mark, how many people know of this?"

"The two people responsible for opening the mail today," Mark answered. "Me, and you."

"I see," Leivinia mumbled and leaned back in her chair. "Those two were just doing their job, so I suppose we can't outright dispose of them. Take those two out back and have them dig two holes."

"How large?" Mark inquired.

"Enough for two men who feel like they should talk to be buried alive," Leivinia said with a grin.

"Understood." Mark turned to leave.

"Oh, Mark?"

"Yes?"

"If rumors spread, it will be three holes." Mark nodded quickly and left. He shut the door behind him before Leivinia relaxed. "Seriously, what is that boy thinking? He needs to consider my position." She opened the box and bit into one of the cookies. "Yum, he is a good cook. Should I kidnap him and bring him here under the disguise of a new chef?" She spun around in her chair while grinning. Leivinia may be a ruthless leader of one of the largest magic cabals in the world, but she was still a young girl. She liked sweet things and when she wanted something, she would use everything in her power to obtain it. Touma was no exception to that rule. You will be mine, one way or another. She laughed before starting into another one of the cookies.

"… and that's why you can't waste time being so selfish," Elizard spoke harshly. Her arms were crossed in front of her as she sat at a large table. Across from her, looking bored out of her mind, was her daughter Carissa.

"Maybe if you actually found someone worth my time," Carissa retorted. "We wouldn't be in this situation."

"At this point, you can't really be that picky." Elizard sighed. "You currently are under probation due to your earlier actions, but I would prefer you to get out more. Maybe in the company of someone who can help achieve-…?"

"This conversation is over!" Carissa declared and slammed her hand on the table. She was about to stand up and Elizard opened her mouth, when a knock at the door interrupted them.

"You may enter," Elizard said, but did not take her eyes off Carissa. The large wooden doors opened and Knight Leader stepped in. The doors shut behind him with a loud bang.

"Sorry for the intrusion," Knight Leader apologized. "A package from Japan arrived for the princess and I needed to take precautions to avoid any unnecessary talk among the other workers."

"A package?" Carissa asked. She raised an eyebrow. Elizard's serious face instantly turned amused. "From Japan? Has it been screened?"

"I performed the screening personally," Knight Leader informed her and pushed the wrapped box across the table to her. "I would have waited to deliver this, but I believed this unusual situation would require a more immediate action."

"Who is it from?" Elizard asked Carissa. Carissa glanced at the sender information and her eyes narrowed. She ripped open the package and her suspicious expression turned to disbelief when she read the letter inside.

"What is this?!" Carissa demanded. "I never sent that boy anything! Why on earth would he think I would have the time!? Either this boy is stupid beyond belief, or someone set me up." Her brow furrowed.

"Who on earth would do that?" Elizard asked sweetly and Carissa's head slowly turned to face her.

"It was you," she whispered. Shock turned to rage and her face grew red with fury. "You are making that boy think I'm some kind of love-struck teenager!"

"You kind of are," Elizard pointed out. "Minus the fact you are in your twenties. You just can't admit you like that boy, so your dear sweet mother took it upon herself to help you out. No thanks are necessary."

"You!" Carissa shouted and was completely overcome with fury. She stood up and slammed her hands on the table. "Need to stop interfering with my social life!"

"If you would just find someone I wouldn't have to!" Elizard countered.

They are at it again, Knight Leader sighed. He left the room and closed the doors behind him. He could still hear them shouting and the very walls were shaking from their argument. Time to move the other staff out of the building for their safety.

Feel free to leave a review, comment, suggestions, or ideas, I love reading them. If you have a question you wish I ask and would like a quick answer, feel free to message me directly. I try to respond to those within a day or two. Comments, I tend to respond to in the next chapter.

Next chapter will be the start of the Australian battle. I am actually in the process of writing it already since I finished this chapter early. I just had to wait for the right time to release it. Oh, if you didn't know, a strange occurrence happened in Westgate Park, Melbourne, which is in southern Australia. It seems like the lakes there have turned a pinkish red color. This occurred shortly before the battle with Adam in my story.

Coincidence?
