Hello and welcome again readers, another round of LoCG from your resident crazy person. This chapter was another amusing one to right, and there was a fun little joke one of your guys suggested to me that fit in perfectly. You know who you are and you know what I'm referring to when you see it. Anyways, on to reviews

whwsms:{Yep, Index saw a dollhouse in the Dianoid and remembered Othinus which caused her to freeze glad you noticed that.

I mean one may also say Index is pulling a Freddy on Touma trapping him in her dream reality

Indeed… bakina I say Index sharing food? what sort of mad witchcraft is this!?

well the story continues}

5hadowHand:{Gotta say you writing these like he's making a diary is amusing

He really just needs Index sharing food…. thats all the evidence.

It's small details and inconsistencies that cause the cracks

Glad you liked it}

Guest 1:{Thats kinda the point, and hey… now you know how Index fucked Accelerator over with the three headed beast. Touma gave her books on relativity}

Guest 2?:{I'll wait to answer these for when you catch up}

Now then, remember constructive Criticism is both encouraged and Desired. With that out of the way, let this tale of an infinity commence once again.

Chapter 47

Rivalry in the Library

Night came and Kamijou went to sleep, Index holding his hand to her chest. Kamijou however found himself dreaming.

He was in a black void, one which struck fear into the depths of his soul. But the next moment it became a bedroom. But not his, not that he knew at least, it had an old dutch feel to it. How Kamijou knew that, he did not know, the shutters were closed but light came in from the window.

'Is.. this a lucid dream?' Kamijou thought to himself.

What felt like a bell rang from downstairs. The kind that is used in grocery stores to signify someone entering or exiting. A voice called him from outside the room. It was familiar and made Kamijou instinctively reach for his shoulder. But he could not quite place it, the smell of freshly baked bread came from downstairs.

'Does… does this mean something?' Kamijou asked himself. He never had dreams like this, he didn't think things like this were possible with dreams. Making his way down the dream's stairway Kamijou gulped mentally. 'Oh god don't tell me I am gonna run into some psychotic dream monster with exceedingly specific tastes in glove wear, that's gonna kill me in my sleep!'

However when he entered the main room he felt his mind go at ease. He appeared to be behind the counter at a bakery. And customers were buying some of the fresh bread.

'Why a bakery? I don't remember ever being to one, or knowing what one looks like.' Kamijou thought as he turned to the oven. There was someone there taking out some newly baked bread. She shut the oven and placed the tray on the counter beside her to cool. Turning to Kamijou she smiled, yet…

Kamijou couldn't see her face or expression. Yet he knew she had smiled, he just felt it. And he felt perfectly comfortable with her. He knew her, yet he couldn't remember her. He knew her better than himself, yet he had never met her in his life.

Did he?

The girl spoke, and her voice was familiar yet he couldn't hear or place it. "You told me I could do whatever I want when we retrieved my eye." He couldn't hear her, yet he knew she sounded sad. "To bad we never got to do that, I never got to make that decision"

Kamijou was about to ask who she was. But then he remembered it was a dream. He'd just be asking an illusion. The dreamscape seemed to fade as the girl said something else. But he didn't get it, what was he trying to tell himself?

"Then, I'll see you in a bit Komoe" Blinking awake Kamijou heard Index hang up on a phone. Getting up from the bed he saw Index put the phone in her habit's sleeve.

"What did Komoe call about Index?" Kamijou yawned. Stretching, he got out of bed and wandered over to the kitchen. "You've woken up awfully early." he smiled at Index who shifted nervously.

"Komoe said to remind you that school started back up today." Index said, causing Kamijou to drop the pot he was taking out.

"What!? Where's the warning!?" he shouted in shock. Index merely glanced at his phone before also walking over to the kitchen. Quickly checking it Kamjou noticed a message sent a day ago… had arrived 5 minutes ago. It was from Komoe and said that the schools would be starting back up as of today.

Index glanced sideways at him while taking a box out from under the counter. "Komoe expected you wouldn't get the message on time which is why she told me to inform you."

Kamijou glanced at the clock and began panicking "Ah… Index you'll have to ask Maika to make you something cause I need to go now." He stumbled slightly but managed to get his shoes on and nabbed a pear from the fridge. When did he buy pears? Didn't matter he needed to make sure to have an attendance or he'd be repeating a year.

Index pouted but shrugged "Don't worry Touma I have something in mind." she waved, opening the fridge "See you in a bit Touma!" before Kamijou shut the door.

'What did she mean by, see you in a bit?' Kamijou thought for a moment but shook his head. Probably just meant when he got home.

Arriving at his class Kamijou flopped into his seat gasping. He had run... the entire way, managing to avoid a slightly irritated Biribiri along the way.

It appeared he was a little early as the room was a bit empty. A few students were around. Including that odd headband girl he swore he kept seeing everywhere. And Fukiyousie, who walked over upon seeing him.

"Oh Good, you actually made it in time, Kamijou Touma." She said smiling slightly, "Keep this up and you won't have to repeat a year."

Kamijou looked at her exhausted "Can you not say that like you expect me to repeat the year?"

Fukiyousie scoffed "Then stop skipping class Kamijou" She rolled her eyes.

Kamijou slammed his head into his desk "I'm pretty sure I should be given some leeway for getting kidnapped."

"WHAT!?" Fukiyousie shouted in shock "you got Kidnapped!?" which caused collective gasps to go around the classroom. A few girls seemed to swear and one of the boys slammed his fist on the table.

"Shhhh! I came back okay so it's not a big deal" Kamijou tried to insist but Fukiyousie went to open her mouth again.

"Did you finally get a Yandere Kami-yan you bastard!" Aogami's voice shouted as he charged in from the door. Grappling Kamijou's collar and shaking him "Is there no end to the Kami-yan disease's reach!?"

"Nyah, if anything Kami-nyah has more than one Yandere" Tsuchimikado's familiar voice came from behind Kamijou.

"I do not have a yandere you know perfectly well who it is I'm talking about you nyah nyah bastard!" Kamijou shouted as he tried to punch the person who claimed to be his friend despite kidnapping him on multiple occasions.

"I was foolish to worry about you Kamijou Touma..." The cold voice of Fukiyousie said. Her eyebrow was twitching as she grinned stiffly. "You're just trying to come up with another excuse like your misfortune." cracking her knuckles, Fukiyousie glared. So why don't you three idiots… SHUT UP!

As Kamijou was in the middle of getting his face beaten in by Fukiyousie. The door opened and Komoe entered. Turning to the class she went white as a sheet. "MY CLASSROOM!"

Kamijou and the two other idiots scrambled back into their seats. He noticed that there was oddly an extra desk in the classroom. And he was about to ask about it when Komoe spoke up.

"Now, as you know, World War Three severely threw off the school schedule." at which everyone nodded, prompting her to continue. "Because of that we've restarted the semester, meaning!" Komoe's smile caused Kamijou to become nervous. "We are taking in new students. Yes, she's a girl, but don't get your hopes up boys, you've already met her." Komoe gestured to the door while giving a smile at Kamijou with one eye open.

'Wait… is that what she meant by-' Kamijou realized as the door opened.

Stepping in the class dressed in the school uniform. Was none other than Index herself smiling happily. She wrote her name onto the chalkboard and turned around.

"Well that can't be a real name" said Aogami.

Tsuchimikado remained silent with one eyebrow twitching jaw dropped.

Fukiyousie walked over to Index "Index, right? Welcome to our class, Don't let the three idiots bother you. Though you're probably already acquainted with Kamijou's idiocy."

Index narrowed her eyes at Fukiyousie "Your the girl who constantly beats on Touma despite him just being Touma." Which caused Fukiyousie to cough slightly.

"He needs to take school seriously, he blames all of his problems on misfortune and doesn't do anything to change it!" she huffed and crossed her arms.

Index Snickered and smirked at Fukiyousie "Touma's got you that fooled huh?" Causing Touma's eyes to snap open and Fukiyousie's eyebrow to raise.

"What?" the Ironwall girl asked.

Kamijou shook his head really quickly and Index tilted her head as he did so. Before sighing, "Fine Touma, I won't say anything. I just don't like people talking bad about you when they don't know anything about you." Index sat at the extra seat as she took out her textbooks.

Tsuchimikado coughed and raised his hand. "I need to use the bathroom real quick sensei." his face was sweating. Kamijou didn't blame him, Index was the most important figure in the magic side. As a spy for the Anglicans and Academy City. Her attending an Academy City School was big news and would tip the balance to the side of Academy City.

Komoe looked hurt but nodded "Alright, but be quick okay?" to which Tsuchimikado nodded and quickly left the room. Kamijou looked around and noticed someone missing.

"Hey Index? You didn't happen to see Himegami on your way in, did you?" He asked her.

"Ah..." Index Jumped a moment as if she had forgotten something. Glancing away she spoke nervously. "N-No I didn't maybe she's just late Touma"

Almost on Cue the door opened and a blushing and ashamed Himegami walked in. "I nearly missed the start of class..."

Komoe blinked "Ah! Himegami I forgot about you" which caused her to seem to shrink down.

"I was wondering where you were, Himegami" Kamijou said to her. Instantly she looked up with tears in her eyes and sniffled.

"Kamijou, you're the only one who cares enough to remember me.." Causing Kamijou to shift slightly.

Aogami swore "Damn it Kami-yan you don't get to pretend not to have a Harem and make a smooth move like that!" Earning him a smack from Fukiyousie who slammed his face into the desk. And a confused look from Kamijou.

Fukiyousie sighed "I knew you'd get here on time unlike that idiot." she smiled at Himegami as she sat down.

"Hello Index, didn't think you'd be attending school." Himegami narrowed her eyes at Index.

Index smiled "Komoe helped set it up, got permission from the higher ups or something."

"Class is starting if you don't quiet down you'll all be doing three consecutive columbus eggs after class okay?" Komoe threatened with a sweet smile on her face.

...

Lunch came around and Kamijou sat at his desk. Himegami approached him and sat next to him.

"Hey Himegami, something going on? You were kinda late" Kamijou noted as she got out a bento from her bag and started to eat.

"Not really, but I did get distracted, did you know that since they started back up schools. Academy city also invited multiple outside schools from around the world to promote transfers?" she asked him while eating.

"N..No I didn't, you met some of them?" Kamijou said as he tried to do some of the homework Komoe left him.

Himegami nodded "Yeah, a exchange group from a middle school in Norway. They asked a lot of questions and I got nervous and ran." Himegami blushed, embarrassed. "They weren't mean or anything, just a little overwhelming." she sighed "I'm ashamed of myself"

Touma patted her on the head "Eh, don't be it was a normal reaction, I'm glad Academy city is inviting people..." he paused. "But I really hope none of those kids actually transfer"

Himegami nodded knowingly and the next few seconds were silent between them. Until Himeagmi spoke again.

"How were the Russian waters?" she asked casually, causing Kamijou to spit.

"Is that something you ask someone?" he said to her, glancing around. "I don't want anyone to know about that. Speaking of, how did you figure that out?"

Himegami looked at him flatly "Magic" before continuing to eat.

Kamijou shook his head "It was Russia… so I was unconscious pretty much instantly."

Index slammed her own tray down in front of them and glared at Himegami. "He went to Russia to save me and nearly died trying."

Himegami blinked, narrowing her eyes but Kamijou spoke up. "I didn't realize you were so sensitive about it Index... Sorry for talking about it" he apologized rubbing the back of his neck.

Index blinked shocked at Kamijou but shook her head. "No it's not your fault Touma, I didn't want Himegami bugging you about it. Thought it would bring up bad memories" she looked away nervously.

"I really don't mind Index,it's not that big of a deal." he smiled softly at her and Index pouted.

"Check," Himegami said, smiling at Index. Who pointed to her eyes then to Himegami before sitting down. What was going through their heads Kamijou would never understand.

"So what have you been doing since then?" Kamijou asked Himegami.

Himegami smiled and blushed slightly. "Nothing much, I visited you in the hospital though."

Kamijou blinked and smiled "Thanks for that then, glad you were worried for me."

Himegami looked away. "It was nothing really" she glanced at Kamijou for a moment. "Did you not get anything from the cafeteria?" noting Kamijou's lack of a lunch.

Kamijou sighed "by the time I got there they were out of stock" Both Index and Himegami's eyes widened slightly. A quick glance at the other and both opened their mouths.

However Himegami spoke first "I made a spare lunch if you're interested, eep-" Himeagmi squeaked, as Kamijou gripped her hands, tears in his eyes.

"Really!? You'd do that for me? You're a lifesaver Himegami!" Causing her to blush but smugly grin at Index. Who was mad and growling, what were they doing? Surely they weren't competing over his attention. That would imply they were interested in him. And as Kamijou knew too well, he wasn't lucky enough for a single girl to like him. Let alone multiple to fight over him.

Himegami took a bento box out of her bag and handed it to Kamijou who happily accepted. Index huffed and turned away annoyed for some reason, placing something back in her bag. "I hope you like it," Himegami said as she gazed at Kamijou.

It was a very well made Bento, Kamijou could say that. "I do like it, thanks Himegami. Thank you for letting this Kamijou have your spare bento. Was this why you were late to class?"

Himegami blushed nervously "Yes actually… 'It's not really a spare, I made it for you' I got so engrossed in making it that I didn't notice the time." She muttered something in the middle that Kamijou didn't quite catch. But whatever it was caused Index to growl at her. As well as multiple girls in the class to seem to grit their teeth in anger.

They used to get along so well so Kamijou was confused why they wouldn't now. "What's going on you two? Did something happen that made you upset with each other?" he asked the two girls.

Himegami deadpanned and Index huffed and turned away, her chest slightly shaking. It did get bigger didn't it? Kamijou swore it had gotten bigger. Realizing he was staring however he slapped his face and looked at the girls. "Sorry.. Well?" Oddly, Index appeared to be smiling.

"There would be no point telling you" Himegami started.

"Touma will always be Touma" Index finished for her.

Kamijou sighed "I can't do anything if you don't tell me"

"Telling you would defeat the purpose" Himegami said Index nodding.

"It wouldn't feel the same if you solved it" Index said Himegami smiling.

Shaking his head Kamijou finished the bento Himegami gave him. Index seemed a bit upset so he made a note to himself to ask her what was wrong later.

After school Kamijou opened his locker and found something. "How did someone get three bento-boxes into my Locker?" He asked, confused.

"Kami-yan you bastard! Share the harem wealth!" Aogami said, trying to push past Kamijou and grab the bentos. Kamijou merely grappled and pushed him away.

"No way!, besides the slits are too small for a bento to fit. Meaning someone knows my combination which worries me." Kamijou said, glancing nervously around. "I mean you don't learn those things without either being told. Or stealing it, and I haven't told anyone. Meaning it's the latter and that's never done with good intentions." Kamijou sweated slightly, "With how many skill out Gang's i've pissed off one of those could have a bomb in them!"

Aogami scoffed "Please you just have multiple stalkers who want your attention."

"How is that meant to make me feel better you braindead pervert!?" Kamijou shouted leaping at the boy who might as well have been Zeus.

The two of them brawled in the entrance gathering a crowd. The boys were shouting for them to fight and the girls cheered every time Kamijou got a hit in on Aogami.

"Someone stole my Kouhai's combination? I can't be having that." Said the familiarly mature voice of Komukawa seria. "I was wondering what the number three and five were doing near his locker." She emerged from the crowd and looked at the bentos.

"What about the third one?" Kamijou asked with his fist planted into Aogami's face. Komukawa coughed slightly and avoided eye contact.

"I don't know, sorry, my cute little Kouhai." She said examining the boxes.

"Lewd Eyes is lying, she did it!" Index popped out from behind the crowd. "I saw her do it earlier."

Aogami swore along with the other boys and the girls seemed to radiate anger. But Kamijou sighed "Index, if you're gonna accuse my senpai of something. At least make it believable, she'd never do that. Why would she? She and I are just acquaintances"

Before Index could retort however Yomikawa Aiho shouted at the crowd. "Hey, is there a fight going on? I'm gonna have to break it up if so! Get a move on kids!" Causing the students to gradually file out.

Index pouted as Kamijou got up, Aogami glaring at him before leaving. "But she did, i'm not lying"

Kamijou sighed "Normally I'd believe you Index, but you've been acting oddly antagonistic to her. And besides, she has no reason to steal my combination. Nor does she have any interest in me. She's just out of my league." Kamijou shook his head "Let's go Index"

Index smiled melancholically at that "right Touma!" she pouted again. "But I'm not lying"

Kamijou rolled his eyes "Okay, I'll keep an eye on her in the future. Is that good enough for you?" Index bit her lip but then nodded. "Alright then, how about we get an Ice cream?" he offered her.

Index nodded and followed Kamijou, they arrived at an ice cream stand and Kamijou ordered them both something.

As they were eating, Misaka caught sight of them and walked up. "Hey, Idiot, did you get my gift?" she asked, blushing slightly. "Thought you kinda earned it with the whole... Saving the world thing, and… for helping me the night before last." She seemed a bit red in the face which worried Kamijou. But something else had his attention

"Wait, one of those was yours? How did you get my combination?" He asked nervously.

Misaka blinked "One of them?... There were Multiple!?" She shouted in his face.

Kamijou instinctively held up his right hand. "That's what you're concerned about!? Not the very clear violation of my security!?"

Misaka however gripped Kamijou's collar "Where are they!?"

Index interrupted before Kamijou could answer "Touma thought they might be dangerous so he asked me to throw them out."

Misaka went silent and twitched, her eyes were shadowed as she turned to Kamijou. "Ohohohoo… So, I graciously give you a bento that I worked night and day for… and you just throw it out?" Sparks flew from her as Kamijou's brain worked in overtime.

"Wait Wait Waiiiit! How else Am I supposed to react in my situation Misaka!?" He shouted, causing her to pause. But she was merely waiting for him to continue. "Three, count them, Three boxes appeared in my locker out of nowhere. Me! Eternally misfortunate Me! I can't see what's inside and I know I've pissed off multiple, count them, multiple skill outs and espers. Many of which could have access to dangerous items or abilities! For all I knew the moment I touched one of those they'd explode and tear off my arm!"

He panted, gasping for breath as Misaka blinked. She let go of him and raised her head. "Huh, never thought of it like that… sorry for thinking you were ungrateful." She turned around and walked off. "I'll hand it to you d-directly next time, okay?... just don't get the wrong idea."

"You didn't answer Touma's question!" Index called but Misaka merely ignored her. "I really don't like short hair" Index pouted. "I really don't like long hair, she's way too clingy to you Touma" and Kamijou blinked.

"Long hair?" he asked, causing Index to go silent. Going to take a bite of his icecream Kamijou realized it was melted. It had only been like 3 minutes… right? Quickly checking his watch Kamijou realized he had missed an entire 7 extra minutes.

What did he just miss out on?

Shaking his head as his heart began to beat quicker he got up. "Must had dozed off, we should get back to the dorm Index." He said, throwing the empty cone in the trash.

As they headed back Kamijou remembered something. "Hey Index?" he said.

Index blinked and looked over to Kamijou "Yes Touma?"

"Why were you upset when Himegami gave me her spare bento?" He asked the nun-turned student.

Index's eyes widened slightly before she smiled fondly. "Because I was jealous, Touma, I made a bento before I left specifically to give to you. But then Himegami gave you her's before me" her words caused Kamijou's eyes to widen.

'No, don't misunderstand Kamijou, she just wanted to show her appreciation of you. She doesn't hold any sort of romantic attachment.' Kamijou told himself "Oh… I'm sorry, I didn't realize" he smiled softly. "How about you save it and I have it for my dinner?"

Index's eyes brightened and she nodded "Okay Touma!" she turned around and pumped her fist for some reason. What was she feeling so triumphant about?

Kamijou bit his lip while they walked 'I'm sooo gonna regret that, no way is what Index cooked gonna be edible' he thought, dreading the impending doom of his future.

After reaching the dorm they were greeted by Kansaki and Itsuwa who had returned from giving their report.

Kanzaki looked shocked when Index handed him the box from that morning at Dinner. Itsuwa seemed, to look nervous, and like she lost, Index smugly smiled. as they ate Kamijou was shocked.

'H...How? WHEN DID INDEX LEARN TO COOOK!?' He felt like reality was going to crumble around him. But at the same time hope overflowed his body. 'If...If Index can learn to cook… maybe… just maybe I can accept being lucky!' A tear began to roll from his eyes.

"Kamijou Touma? Did you hear me?" Kanzaki asked and Kamijou snapped into focus.

"Ah… sorry, just… Index… I'm… so...proud of you it's delicious" Kamijou said to which both Kanzaki and Itsuwa's jaws dropped in shock.

Index smiled and shifted nervously, her face slightly red. "It took a few tries… but thanks to the books you gave me. I managed to succeed on the third try. And I didn't accidentally blow up the kitchen!" She added an unnecessary bit of info at the end to which Kamijou sighed.

"That's not something you should be proud of index… but good job" Kamijou smiled at her, which she seemed to grow redder at. Was she okay? Or just embarrassed by the praise?

Kanzaki coughed slightly, "I will admit that's a reasonable excuse to be distracted So I'll repeat what I said earlier." She took a short breath "The Anglican church decided that since there are no immediate and obvious magical threats to you at the moment. That Itsuwa and I do not need to stand guard at your dorm." Kanzaki said.

Itsuwa nodded "But We will be patrolling just in case a rouge magician or similar attempts to approach" she smiled at Kamijou.

Shaking his head Kamijou sighed "Seriously you don't need to do that, I'm just a highschool boy It's not like people are gonna target me." he smiled sadly "But thanks anyways, I don't deserve your protection. I couldn't repay you for it."

Kanzaki had sighed at Kamijou's comment but must have decided arguing wouldn't change anything.

Shortly after dinner ended, Her and Itsuwa left to patrol shortly before Kamijou prepared for bed. Index took her shower first and Kamijou ended up needing to leave the room when Index said she needed her clothing. As she had decided to leave the bathroom wearing nothing but the towel. She seemed to pout when Kamijou had rushed out the door.

But other than that odd incident nothing really happened and soon Kamjou was sliding under the sheets

As he lie in bed Kamijou thought to himself about the most odd part of the day. When Misaka left there was a span of time that Kamijou had completely missed. And that scared him, what had happened there? Who was 'long hair' as Index referred to her? And why couldn't he remember what happened? 'Did Index erase my memory? Was there something she didn't want me to see? I remember vaguely sitting there and the smell of honey. But for some reason I can't remember those 7 minutes.' he closed his eyes as he drifted off to sleep. 'I need to call Hamazura in the morning, make sure Mugino is fine.'

As he fell asleep he felt Index stroking his hair. Caressing it like one would to their lover.

Misaka never did explain how she got his combination, did she?
