Chapter one: A Daughter and Her Father!?
2:00AM
"Oh boy..."
"..."
Chisaki knew she was in deep trouble, messing around with her aunt's tools while her father was around was always going to lead to a disaster, this time it was enough to catapult herself and her old man into the past, a part of her wished her father had demanded she did not touch the foreign yet similar object which had gotten themselves into the situation, stood by her father's side as she looked on in amazement, some of the faces that seemed all too familiar to her stared back at her with just as much shock.
Looking over to her father she could tell he was slightly shocked, even though he did not show it in the slightest, instead, he remained calm and breathed in, letting the crisp air flowing from outside the open window, the powerful aura that surrounded him quickly dampened down until it was hidden once more in his body.
From the surprised reactions, he got from himself and his daughter barging into what appeared to be a meeting with four of the war divas. The father concluded that he was in the past.
How long ago in the past? He was unsure yet.
"Ummmm... Hello?"
The man smirked, one of the women looked exactly like Tatenashi Sarashiki except for a few differences, this woman that stood to his left had a different aura alongside her hair was much longer than the woman he had known.
"Chisaki, please remain quiet, this is something that I do not want you involved in..."
The elder man with jet black hair and a Yukata that hung loosely around his frame had turned his eyes on a different woman, noticing the other woman who stared at him with amazement was very similar to someone he knew all too well, Yu Na, a woman which took his breath away during his earlier days in his time in the IS academy.
Her frame was similar to Yu Na, her appearance seemed to be almost identical except for her Kimono.
'Lee Jin, it's been a while...'
Turning to his daughter with a raised eyebrow, he wondered how he was supposed to fix this?
He knew he wasn't the smartest in the tech department when it came to things such as time travel which he and his daughter Chisaki were currently experiencing.
The smile on his face began to show even more as he remembered the perfect woman to go to.
"I-I-Izanagi?!"
"I-Is that really you?!"
The man remembered the current events in the time he and his daughter was stuck, Izanagi Orimura was currently sick and bedridden somewhere in-between dimensions in a large castle, he remembered visiting the sickened man several times until he recovered and gathered his strength. Thinking about it was almost a blur to the man, everything that had happened years ago had felt so surreal that he had at one point began to question whether it happened or if it was some dream.
The two other women he had already confirmed their identities to be other women he knew all too well.
'Ah, this is that time huh? I suppose I'm in the IS academy somewhere right about now?'
"Sorry I'm not quite Izanagi although I did used to get told that..." The man scratched the side of his forehead in amusement as he watched their faces darken.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The war diva's hopes that he was indeed Izanagi were thrown out of the window immediately.
"Although I am not him, on the contary to that, I am someone who in the future you could say is of great importance, although I wouldn't worry about my father, he is in great health now."
Tsukiko raised her eyebrows.
"Ichika?"
Lee Jin, Ayaka, and Oyuki looked at Tsukiko with dismissive expressions, not believing in the slightest that the man standing in front of them was the son of the man they loved all too much. Instead, their killing aura's began to show themselves as they turned to the man standing on top of the table they used in their private meetings.
Ichika let out a sigh as he expected it, dismissing their glowing glares of rage as he thought briefly, his daughter pulling on the sleeves of his yukata in order to get his attention.
"Dad, why don't you tell them you are from the future? It will save you all the hassle."
"Come on pumpkin, they won't believe me if I just proclaim I am from the future, besides other than blood samples I cannot just prove that yet." Rubbing the gentle head of his daughter, he felt Chisaki cling to him, it made him feel like the strongest man on the planet to have such a cute daughter.
"Impossible, you are an imposter pretending to be Ichika Orimura!"
"Get him!"
"Coward! How dare you!"
"..."
Ichika let out a sigh as he wrapped his arm around his daughter, swerving the attacks and parrying with his own.
"!"
Picking up his daughter's bridal style, Ichika quickly disappeared as quickly as he appeared to the war divas, leaving them stunned as the wind blew them back slightly.
'Sorry ladies, I'll be sure to pay for that wall in the future!'
Ichika breathed in as he disappeared into the dark night skies, leaving only the sound of branches rustling.
Carrying his youthful daughter in his arms as he thought about what they were going to do from here on out, limited options considering they could not just return to the Orimura clan while they were in the past.
Later on in the day
Ichika Orimura at the age of seventeen years old did not believe that the loud 'bang' coming from one of the many arena's which he and his closest friends used to train would eventually occur into an older man cradling a black haired girl with amber eyes and a child-like body would be trying to convince himself and the other's that he was a future version of Ichika Orimura.
It all felt a little too weird.
The teachers and everyone involved in the man and his daughter's appearance had been very suspicious of his identity, choosing to not believe that the other man behind the glass was indeed Ichika Orimrua. However, his cooperation to have Tabane Shinonono test his blood and compare it to Ichika was something they were caught off guard by, making the likes of Houki and Satella truly wonder whether or not they were dealing with the real future Ichika.
Questions about the eleven-year-old child began to be asked if the man said who he really was, the girls grew ever so nervous, wanting to know his identity but yet not wanting it.
It got bad enough for a beauty with long blonde hair named Shiori to get involved.
It was his aunt of course.
She, Tabane, and Chloe ran tests on the impostor Ichika Orimura as the girls and the teachers watched on with a myriad of different looks as the older man had blood samples taken.
"Is it really Ichika-kun's future self?" Tatenashi asked.
"I don't think it is, I mean I that man has a daughter in the other bed which he clearly doesn't want to test? Maybe she's the key to figuring out who he is..." Yu Na responded as she watched on, Shiori took out a needle and pointed for the man to stand up.
Tabane nodded briefly as she ordered the man to follow her towards the exit.
"He's coming out!"
"What if he is actually a future Ichika?"
"Senpai having a future version of himself? What would we call future senpai?"
Many of the girls began to throw around different questions to one another, causing Ichika to let out a sigh and stare at the man as he got closer to them and the exIt.
FSSSSSH!
The automatic doors began to open as Shiori and Chloe began to go to work at analyzing the blood sample that was given, admiring it briefly under a microscope that was enhanced with their own technology.
"I never thought it would end..."
The man let out a sigh of relief as he began to be hounded with tons of women surrounding him.
All of them apart from the teachers admiring him and trying to look for any evidence other than looking like the IS student who stood next to Chifuyu and the other teachers.
A small smile appeared on his face.
'I forgot how young they looked... How time has truly flown.'
Future Ichika smiled earnestly before scratching the back of his head, unsure of what to do about the situation he had gotten himself and his daughter into. His head was on the island thanks to a threat from his aunt who did not know who he was yet.
"What's up?"
The older man briefly looked at a particular woman.
"You aren't really future Ichika-kun right?! I mean we are talking about time travel here!" Tatenashi Sarashiki exclaimed as she stepped forward, her hair much shorter than he remembered.
"I don't know Kitana you are more than welcome to tell me."
"!"
"!"
"!"
"!"
Alarm bells were raised in some of the girl's heads, including the seventeen-year-old Ichika who was one of the few who knew her real name, Kitana. It was enough to make him think.
A certain sister of his who was an infamous teacher had begun to glare daggers into him, her cold looks told him all he needed to know about what she was thinking and what she suspected him of, to that he cocked his head slightly and waited for her to notice him looking at her.
Once she did he took the opportunity.
"The collapse."
The man from the future muttered a mere few words which got Chifuyu, Madoka, and Tabane on the edge as their eyes were widened by the mere words, remembering vaguely. Or in Tabane's case, what she was told about what happened back then.
"How do you know my name is Kitana future kun?"
"What the hell is 'the collapse'?"
"If you are really future Ichika senpai and you are in the past... Why are you here?"
"Who is that girl inside of there?"
"Is she your daughter?"
The man raised his hands as he tried to get the girls to back off, his expression turning wry as he knew how many questions they had for him and how much time they had before it was all proven.
Tabane kept a stern eye on the man, suspecting him more than ever as she glared daggers into him.
"Well for my identity I have already told you, I have no reason to lie, and nor will I, that girl is... my daughter but I can not say more than that, besides aren't my looks that look exactly like him good enough?"
Ichika looked at his younger self, staring at him slightly as the younger man stepped forward.
"Perhaps you are me, but you could also be someone else trying to bypass me and ruin my reputation for something you want to achieve? Besides isn't time travel an issue when it comes to meeting your younger self? Why would you risk it by meeting me?" The younger Ichika had a point and the older man knew it, he didn't deny the claims nor did he accept them.
"He has a point..."
"From what we know you being here if you really are Ichika-kun is a problem."
"Right!"
Some of the ladies spoke out amongst the silence that followed before their comments, while Ichika knew where they were coming from, he had a much deeper understanding due to Tabane already over-explaining later on in the future.
"I'm not worried, Tabane or rather future Tabane explained some things about time travel a few years ago." The older man began to grow tired of the consistent talking.
FSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH!
Shiori Orimura sporting a neutral expression alongside Chloe who also did the same, the two's eyes were covered by their hair.
In Shiori's left hand was a piece of paper that had been folded up into a small segment. Their sudden arrival into the waiting room had gotten the attention of all, including future Ichika who's arms were crossed as he let the two girls sync in that he was indeed from the future. Ichika could see the fiery aura of [Jaaku Reiki] which Shiori kept well hidden from the likes of the girls and his sisters.
Younger Ichika on the other hand waited patiently, unable to fathom whether the handsome man was really him or not.
"We ran some tests and did a quick data analysis..."
"We found that..."
"This man is Ichika Orimura with full matured adult protein in his blood sample."
Like robbers breaking into a vault, every single person in the room was left with their mind being blown open by Shiori and Chloe's words, it was enough for the whole room to fall silent for many minutes after that, leaving future Ichika to allow them to process all of the information they had just gotten. The look on his younger self's face was priceless, Ichika could see why many women liked to mess with him.
Next-Day...
At the ripe age of 36 years old, Ichika had found himself stuck in the past with his younger self and the girls which he had grown extra 'close' to over the years, it was amusing yet relaxing to see the reactions of everyone he had indeed come from the future, even some of the ladies that were not there when it was first revealed, like Natasha Fairs or Satella for example.
The word of a 'future' Ichika had travelled quickly without the majority knowing it, he knew all too well that Shiori had sent many tests to his mom and his aunts, he made a mental note to go visit his aunt later on in the day.
For now, Ichika wanted to enjoy himself while he had the time off until he got back home, he did not know when but he was glad to be relieved of his patriarch duties of the Orimura clan for the meanwhile, one of his many children being with him had made the adventure of being in the past all the more exciting as he wondered what he could do.
'Perhaps I could train her?'
Ichika looked at his daughter who sat at his bedside next to him, he watched the thin line of [Jaaku Reiki] surround her.
Unlike most Orimura's that had been brought up at the recent points in history, a tide in the way they were brought up was changed heavily, instead, the patriarch had adopted new rules and had looked after his own children fiercely, making sure to be there as much as possible.
The results in that...?
His daughter was very dependent on her father, Ichika loved it and relished in it.
"Hmmm, dad..."
"We should get you some food, we need to put some meat on those bones after all." Ichika wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pushed her closer.
"Pizza?"
"I don't know... your mothers will get pretty mad at me if I let you have pizza."
"It can be our secret?"
"Oooooh~ that's too tempting to deny? Only if you will let daddy have some? Oh! And don't tell them either!"
"Only if I can have a plate to myself!"
"You can have a plate to yourself only if you promise to work extra hard in training munchkin."
"Ughh! Dad!"
The eleven-year-old girl giggled slightly as her dad played along with her antics, not only that but his warmth as she hugged the side of his body, her eyes closing as she enjoyed their loving embrace. Her father spotted this and seized the opportunity within a second or so to use his blistering speed to get them to the old IS cafeteria as they were roomed in the large academy.
"We are here..."
"Huh?"
Chisaki opened her soft brown eyes and noticed her surroundings were significantly different than the room they were in, a large room with multiple entrances and exits as one, each for different wings with several students walking in and out of the cafeteria, many were seated and eating their food alongside their classmates and such.
Ichika noticed some of the students and recognized them from past experiences, some deep into the future that his younger self has not currently experienced yet, some had briefly happened already.
Using his monstrous aura he was able to contain the looks he received from others, instead of the majority of the students passed by the father and daughter like nothing out of the ordinary, this was a trick he was taught much deeper in the future, a future which held him as the patriarch for quite some years now.
Because of this, it felt good to wear something other than a Yukata specifically designed by his wives.
He loved them dearly but sometimes wearing the same sort of attire got too much for the 36-year-old man, he liked to change it up every once in and while due to the many years in the outside world.
Which brought him to now.
He wore a smart shirt with a black tie and pants with a belt going around, smart shoes to top it off of course.
A handsome look that had drawn the coldest hearts of women into his arms.
"Wow... is this the..."
Chisaki was blown away by what she was seeing, it was a version of the IS academy cafeteria that she had not seen yet, she had concluded that the interior design in the past was changed sometime in the future.
"It is munchkin, now should we get something to eat?"
"You and your daughter's food was placed on the teacher's table, we would like to talk to you while you eat."
A voice he knew spoke loudly and clearly, all too well, he could already imagine her stoic expression that used to always be on her face consistently during this time, her green tie with her buttoned-up tight blazer and her jet black hair with her chocolate brown eyes glaring holes into his back.
"Of course miss Orimura."
The future patriarch played into her hands as he turned around with a smile, gripping his daughter's hand gently as she followed her.
Chifuyu being an Orimura and a force to be reckoned with was able to see him easier than most.
Ichika no longer made any effort to hide himself and his daughter in plain sight, instead, his aura dampened down slightly as he stopped using the technique he was using to conceal himself and his daughter.
A group of teachers sat at a large table in front of him, just from a glimpse Ichika was able to name each lady.
Their stares showed they were still shocked by the ordeal.
"Close your mouth, you may catch flies."
Ichika sat down next to his daughter who also sat next to his younger older sister, the three of them on the left side of the table with Natalia the nurse of the IS academy on the end of the table.
"So it is true..."
"You are... future Ichika?"
"Oh my, I can't believe it..."
"Interesting."
"How did this happen exactly?"
Numerous amounts of teachers began questioning the patriarch as he watched his daughter ignore the rest of them and dig into her food. She ignored the rest of them as her mind was entirely filled with thoughts of food.
Ichika patted her on the head gently and turned to the teachers, glancing at each and every individual teacher for moments at a time.
'They look so young.'
"Hello, girls."
Ichika ignored their questions and greeted them neutrally.
"Ignoring our questions?"
Satella spoke up as she had her chin on both of her hands which leaned against the table.
"Not at all, it may not seem like it but I'm slightly shocked by all of this ideal too, I mean we arrived here only to be attacked suddenly so we came here."
"Attacked by who?" Iris calling asked with a curious expression.
"War diva's, as you can see my daughter was messing around with a few things in the time I come from and it caused all of this, I happened to be trying to stop my daughter from causing any other problems and I was dragged along into this madness." Ichika sighed as he stared at his daughter.
"Your daughter?" Ichika could tell what Natasha was thinking.
"I know what you are trying to do Natasha, I know what that curious look leads to, you will not get to know who the mother of my daughters is!" Ichika chuckled lightly as he tried to ease the tension in the air.
"""Daughters?!"""
The teachers exclaimed at once as they caught the attention of ongoing students.
The only one not to join is Chifuyu who listened intently.
Ichika picked up on it.
"Well that cat is out of the bag, yes I have many children of my own, none which will be revealed then this munchkin."
"Ahem! Anyway's Mr Orimura we need to focus on how to get you to the future."
Chifuyu coughed and got the attention of Ichika and the others, causing them to raise their eyebrows at her as they had did not think about that quite yet, they assumed Tabane Shinonono was the one looking into it of course.
Ichika looked at his sister with an amused expression, catching her glimpses of her looking back at him too.
"I wouldn't rush too quickly to send me home Chifuyu, let Tabane and aunt Shiori take their time to create whatever device they have in mind."
"That is not the point."
"I am aware but things like that are not created within a matter of days so we must be patient."
"I know."
"That's good, very good to hear."
"?"
"?"
"?"
Natasha Satella and Iris looked on at the older man and his 'older' sister talking, noticing there was an awkward atmosphere between the two, they could understand why, it mostly came from Chifuyu and her inability to not know how to communicate with the man who was now older than her.
To them, he was an unknown which they did not know how to handle, they knew full well he was older the man of the teenager that they cared for so dearly. He had much more experience than the Ichika they had known.
Dealing with him was simply an anomaly.
Where they were supposed to go from here? Satella and the other teachers were still unsure...
Well, I'm sure some of you are wondering where I plan on taking this: well you will have to read on? Anyway's Chisaki has [Jaaku Reiki] flowing through her system but because she was raised by her parents in a loving environment in the future, that 'evilness' is not showing yet?
So yeah...
This idea was either going to go in the vault with other concepts with the other like 653 others or released?
