ALRIGHT HERE IS THE 2ND CHAPTER OF THE STORY!Again sorry for the delay. I have decided that it won't be a oneshot! I had been writing whenever I felt like. So naturally it took so long. I'll try to do regular updates from now on.

whwms: Thanks man!

Majin Othinus: Yeah it's definitely one of my top pairing of the series.

Markoz89: I don't know the language but I can easily understand what you are trying to say- I really liked NT9 too (Infact saying that it is the best thing I have ever read is not an overstatement)

Guest1and2: Well here is more!

YRZY: Thanks, I am planning to continue it now!

LexArchangel: hehe

carebear0621: Oh! Now you are just flattering me!

Sergio644: Hmmm...Here is the continuation!

I... currently don't own A Certain franchise...sadly. So what? This is a story written purely because I want to! No profit is taken from anywhere.

(Is it even necessary to write this every time?...Not sure, but it's fun!

WITHOUT DELAY, HERE WE GOOOO!

"hm.."

"..." The boy named Kamijo Touma slowly opened his eyes.

Above him was a blue ceiling which he was trying to get accustomed to.

He looked at the source that had been responsible for waking him from his slumber and lazily tapped at the top of the ringing alarm clock.

It was still 06:35 that meant he still had time left before his school. Still he tried to get up from his bed.

"Hmm..." That's when another source of noise suddenly moved, it was very close to him. In fact it was just adjacent to him.

Touma panicked and quickly looked towards the source. He knew there could only be one person who could have made a that noise.

"Gulp" he gulped as he looked at the other occupant of the room.

She had long blond hair, a petite frame and was wearing night clothes.

He tried to silently get up with waking her up, but as if that could happen.

The person slowly opened her eyes.

"Haaah..." She slowly yawned

"Ah! Er... goodmorning! Um..." Touma said while blushing and looking away.

"Huuu.. goodmorning. Oh! looks like I sleep-walked again" The girl spoke

"Don't say that so casually Othinus!, its the third time this week!" Touma yelled

"Hey its alright, it is involuntary. I have a habit of sleep walking. It's no big deal. Besides, I don't mind"

"You don't but I do!"

Othinus had a habit of sleep walking, so occasionally these types of situations arised. Apparently they had 2 beds in the same room so, Touma frequently found himself in these situations.

It had been about 3 days since 'they' started living here. But no matter how much he tried, he couldn't get used to it.

"Seriously I don't remember when I picked it up. Perhaps during our time in those phasesss..."

Othinus stopped as if she had suddenly stepped on a landmine. She looked at him with guilty eyes.

"...Sorry I shouldn't have said that" she quitely lowered her head.

"No no, it's ok. Hadn't I said that I am fine now" Touma tried to reassure her.

"No...nobody can ever forgive what I did to you. I...I..." she tried to continue but her throat clogged up.

"It's ok" Touma wrapped his arms around her.

"But..I..."

"Shh... didn't I tell you? Just relax."

Othinus stopped and wrapped her arms around him trying to find comfort.

Sometimes these sort of things happened. Othinus deeply regretted what she had done to Touma during all those phases.

She had spent an eternity of time mentally torturing him, to the point where he almost broke.

Even she was not able to keep track of how many times she had repeated the cycle, again and again. It was surely in the range of Hundreds of Billions! or possibly even Trillions!

So whenever she remembered that. The so called perfect Magic-Goddess couldn't control her emotions.

Touma was the same, he looked like he had recovered for all that but he was only putting a brave face. In reality he was only trying to hide his mental state for her.

He cared about her and didn't want her to be sad.

"Did that calm you down?" Touma asked after some time when he felt she was ok now.

"Um.. Yeah. Sorry..." Othinus said hesitantly pushing herself away.

"Well then let's get ready for school. It's still time. I will go to bath first, so that I can prepare us breakfast in the time you get ready"

"Ok"

Now how did this entire situation arised ?

How did Touma Kamijo and Othinus ended up living together ?

To get an answer to this question one has to go about a week back in time.

"I love you"

"Whhhaaat!?" the boy named Touma Kamijo yelled as loud as he could.

"Oh! you want me to say it again? I didn't knew you liked that sort of thing" Othinus said while blushing.

"Ah no not that! I mean... Isn't a bit sudden. I mean out of nowhere" Touma expressed his concern "I am happy that someone confessed her feelings to me. It's the 1st time and infact I had dreamt of this event"

"It's not sudden at all. How much time do you think we have been together?" Othinus suddenly said more forcefully than normal.

"I..." Touma started to say something but was cut in between.

"The time we spent together has far surpassed any normal relationship, we understand and know everything about each other. Didn't you said that yourself?"

"I... said that?" Touma tried to recall.

During the final fight Touma had showed her that he understood her completely, not only her attack patterns, but also her mental and emotional state. He knew what her heart longed for from the very beginning and reminded her of it. She wanted to return to her original world and he not only respected that, but after losing even suggested that she should make use of his right arm to make her wish come true.

He told her that even if she created a world that was a exact replica and no one could tell the difference, it would be nothing but a tragedy to her as long as she knew the difference. And he didn't want her to suffer. That very moment was the turning point. When she realised what she really wanted all this time. She couldn't hold her falling tears. And yet Touma, who was slowly dying in her arms, wiped her tears and continued to try to get her to the path which would make her truly happy.

"At that moment I realised what I really wanted" yes the words that Touma said to her while dying where truly a cruel attack "What I wanted... what I truly wanted...was for someone to understand me! I wanted to have someone who knew my pain, the pain of losing your world and stranded alone in a unknown world. Someone who understood that would provide me comfort, he would provide me the love I so yearned"

"Othinus..."

"And look at my stupidity hehe...'that someone' for whom I was waiting for so so very long, for whom I wanted to return to my original world...was here with me the entire time. And I only realised it when I lost him" Tears rolled down her lone eye as she laid her heart bare feet once again. "Seriously how many times do I have to say it?"

"But... I am right here aren't I?" Touma spoke as he once again wrapped his arms around her.

"I kno..." Othinus started but he suddenly pulled her into a embrace. "I...am glad"

Othinus was a goddess, more specifically THE goddess of WAR. Even among gods she the most terrifying. Just a flick of her fingers, that's all it took to completely destroy the entire universe and build a new one on her whim.

And yet...

And yet that omnipotent all-powerful destroyer of the universe...was just a crying girl whom he wanted to protect.

"You know for a goddess of war, you are pretty emotional" Touma chuckled

"Shut up!...I...I guess what I was holding up in all this time is now coming out... because now I have someone who can listen to it and comfort me" Othinus pouted

"Haha, you are right. You can put all the burdens of your heart on me. After all as your understander, it is my duty to ease your heart. I promise..." Yes he will do it. The lonely girl who had been suffering for so long, he would ensure that no more suffering ever finds the way to her heart.

"Thank you..."

"End is just the beginning of something new. We should start a new life"

"Yeah" Othinus smiled while looking at him.

"So let's start something new, and this time you are not alone, we can wait for a while if you want"

"Yeah, I have to rest for a while. The fairy spell I used took a toll on my body. If I use my magic right now too much, it would damage me internally. But don't worry, it will heal in time, I just have to avoid making another world for sometime"

"Well then we will rest for sometime. I also need some... Seriously! When was the last time I had an actual proper sleep!?" Touma tried to recall while holding his head

Othinus giggled "For now, I'll make a house for us"

She had 50-50 chances of success, knowing that she flicked her fingers.

And..

And...

And whoomm! A house appeared out of thin air!

"Wow! That came out pretty good. Wait didn't you lose GUNGNIR? And you success rate was reduced to 50% so is it just luck or... you didn't use the fairy spell RIGHT?" Touma asked in a stern voice

"Obviously not, why would I use it when it can potentially reduce my chances of being with you?"

"I..I suppose you are right" Touma blushed slightly

"I just increased the number of things I tried to create. When I did that I had more chances of success"

"Okay..."

"Actually I tried to create 2 houses, this increased the success rate. Moreover I tried to create additional furniture and other items, so the success rate should be more. Any additional and unnecessary things can be destroyed later on" Othinus explained

"Wow you are really smart" Touma complemented her

"Hmph ofcourse, I am a goddess afterall" She held her head high

"Hmmm...on second thought couldn't you retry it incase of failure?" Touma held a finger on his chin

"Ah! I just...I go for success in the 1st try" Othinus stammered

Touma chuckled. Right now she was far from being the cold-hearted perfect goddess which she was known to be.

"Right, now let's get inside" Touma suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her along.

"Yeah"

... Speeches, yes Touma was left speechless when he saw 'his' or rather 'their' house.

When he lived in Academy city, he lived in a small dorm room. So obviously he would be impressed by the house which Othinus created. It wasn't a very big once like a mansion or something, but was still decent sized. What was more eye-catching was the content inside.

All the furniture and equipment that was inside looked like it was antique and it felt so expensive that if Touma accidentally broke one of it, his whole life savings won't be enough to pay for it.

"What are you gazing like that for?"

"Those furniture and other items look a bit... extravagant" Touma hesitated

"I figured you must be thinking that. Seriously you are like an open book" Othinus placed her hand on her forehead

"Am I?"

"Let me make one thing very clear, I care about you and you alone. To me every other thing is insignificant, I have no interest in anything else. So you should not think about unnecessary things"

"Um... Thanks it means a lot"

"Hmph seriously you should not think about yourself so lowly, you have a goddess always by your side who will do anything for you"

Touma smiled at this.

They started to explore more of the house which would be their home for maybe the coming few days.

"I can't believe I get to live in this house. I couldn't even dream of this back then"

"Seems like someone had been in a financial problem for too long" Othinus teased

"Yeah life of a level 0 in Academy City wasn't an easy one. I got very less money monthly and had to make it through the month in that only. Moreover, if you have a hungry roommate like Index, who can devour your whole monthly budget in one sitting, life is gotta be miserable." Touma started muttering his misfortunate story "Hey Othinus you don't happen to be a god tier eater? Right?" He looked at her with scared eyes

"Don't worry I can get by on very little food and I am not very fond of eating much of any food" Othinus revealed

"Why? Don't you have any favourite dish or something? You've got to have one" Touma enquired

"I am not very picky when it comes to food, any food which is edible and has a good texture" Othinus

"Uh huh…" Touma narrowed his eyes.

"If I were to name a few dishes, I could name a few. But there is no favourite as far as I think"

"So you are indeed picky. Geez as I thought, you don't have to hide it"

"Ok ok, it's true that I am a bit picky….How did you figure it out?"

"How did I? Well I am supposed to be your understander, how else?"

"Hmph.. I guess that's true"

"I'll make something for us. I'lltry my best for it to suit your tastes"

"I'll eat anything you make happily"

Touma smiled and exited the room

"I wonder what he'll make for me...I can't wait! He is making something for me!...ummuumm.."

"Um Othinus"

"Waahh! When did you..?"

"Just now, by the way... where's the kitchen?...hehe"

Othinus sighed

"Honestly...Well I guess it's only natural that you won't know since we just got here... It's downstairs just 2 rooms right to the main entrance, it's big so I am sure you won't miss it"

"Alright, thanks"

"I'm gonna go ahead and take a bath"

"Sure, the food will be ready by then"

Touma exited the room once again. Othinus stayed like that for a moment, then left for a shower.

Drip...drip...drip...drip...drip

While taking a shower Othinus was immersed in thoughts.

Not long ago, they were fighting a battle with each other that had lasted...how long? Even she had stopped keeping track of time. A million years? No a billion years!? Maybe a few dozen billion years!? More!?

And yet here they are. Despite all that fighting here they are.

How can anyone be that resistant? How can someone not break in all that time? A normal human would have gone insane after a few tries. How...did he not break when the goddess tormenting him did?

"Do I deserve this?"

Did she deserved to be happy after doing all that? This question plagued her mind.

She wanted to shake the feeling away but once it was there, she found herself unable to do that. It really tormented her.

How did he forgive her so easily? Or rather why!? How could he!?

She wanted him to yell at her, take out all his frustration that was built over time on her and she would have gladly taken the punishment. She had prepared herself to apologise for as long as it would take for him to forgive her.

The boy had forgiven the goddess so easily, but had he forgotten the sufferings he had been subjected to? Did the loss of his world not bother him? Yet he put on a brave face just for her.

"You really are a strange person... really really strange" Othinus muttered while still immersed in thoughts

He was too kind. Far too kind for someone like her. While she thought about all this, he thoughts shifted to the immediate future.

"I wonder what he'll make for me...mmm... I'll happily eat whatever it is"

Meanwhile in the kitchen Touma pondered.

"Hmm... What should I make so it is to her liking? The tastes of a goddess! Oh man now that I think about it, I should have asked her. Haaah! No I am Touma Kamijo, I am the one who has lived through many tough times. This is nothing compared to Index...Well I guess I'll just make something globally acceptable" He spoke with a ting of sadness after he 'accidentally' spoke 'her' name, while realising the irony of 'globally' in the present scenario.

Othinus exited the shower after a long time. She rummaged through the available wardrobe available at her disposal. At first she had thought to go for her usual outfit. But she guessed it might feel awkward to 'him' since they were now living together. After giving a thought, she chose to wear a red dress which had 2 alternate white stripes. It's skirt reached a little above her knees. She got herself dressed and went ahead to the dining hall which was next to the kitchen.

"Oh you certainly took your sweet time, seriously the food will get all cold if you don't hurry" Touma spoke while sitting on the dining table. He lightly stared at her dress which caused her to blush slightly.

In front of him were utensils which contained the dishes he prepared. Apparently it hasn't been opened yet, most likely Touma waited for her because he wanted her to taste first.

"Sorry for the delay" Othinus smiled slightly.

She felt both happy and slightly guilty at this thought. But at this point all her thoughts were on only one topic.

What had he made for her? The curiosity for overwhelming. She just wanted to quickly open and check.

"What's the matter? Come on sit down so we can start already, man! I am starving!" Touma urged

Othinus sat down next to him. Apparently in this large house she had made a small dining table, which could accommodate a maximum of 4 people at a time.

It must have been her subconscious mind that created it so that she could stay as close to Touma as possible.

"You didn't eat? I was having trouble picking up which dress to wear, so I got late. Um...by the way how do I look?" She asked him shyly

How? How can she make such innocent expression? Anyone who would have seen her at the time would have had similar thoughts.

"Y..you look great" Touma stammered

"Really?" Othinus cheered up

"Come to think of it it's my first time seeing you in anything other than that witch outfit. So you can dress normally, that's good"

"You mean you didn't like that outfit?"

"No no, I mean it was a bit revealing and..." Touma desperate shook his hands in front of him

"And you don't like it? You don't like to see" Othinus teased

"Hey just so you know, I have a mind of a perfectly normal high school boy so seeing you like that...well" He blushed while saying that

"So you like it then?"

"A.. Anyways, let's eat" Touma shuttered

Othinus was too eager for the food 'he' made for her so she eagerly waited as Touma unlid the 'treasure'.

There were various dishes like Tofu, Tempura, Rice, etc. Othinus scrolled through them making sure to take each one in her plate.

Othinus took a spoonful and took it inside her mouth.

"So, how is it?" Touma asked expectingly

"It's good!" She said with mild surprise.

"Really?"

Othinus continued to enjoy the various dishes Touma had prepared for her.

"Hmm... you are right, this is good. Must be due to the high quality ingredients that were there in the kitchen" Touma spoke surprised how unexpectedly good his cooking had turned out.

When he had lived in Academy City, as a level 0 he got very less stipend. Moreover with a ever-hungry roommate like Index, he had to worry more about quantity rather than quality. Still he cooked decent food.

"But I had no idea I could make so good food! My struggles in Academy City have paid off!" Touma self-complemented himself while Othinus continued to eat.

They soon finished their meal. And now they were faced with a new problem.

Awkward silence...

'Ok not good, I need to speak something to break the silence'

"Say.." He started

"Umm" At the same time Othinus spoke.

"Yes?"

"No, you first"

"S..So what would we be doing this, I mean... you know like our plans for the future" Touma enquired

"I haven't thought about that. Honestly as long as I am with you, I don't care where we are. But I suppose you won't be comfortable in this black world, so I'll make a new world for us when my body recovers. It might take about 2-3 days I think" Othinus replied

"Hmm..A new world huh? Ah no I mean right now? After we wash the plates. I guess we'll just sleep"

"That would be the plan, unless you wanna do something els..." Othinus teased

"Ok ok I'll go to sleep right after I wash the plates. Seriously you never stop teasing me. My life is never peaceful" Othinus giggled when Touma made this remark

Touma started washing utensils, when Othinus picked up some too.

"It's ok, I'll do it" Touma said while trying to take the glass from her "Besides, I don't think I would be able to digest seeing a goddess washing glasses" He joked

"No I will do it, I know that I am not experienced in such a thing. But I can't let you do all the work" Othinus snatched the glass back

"Like I said I'll do it...!" Touma began saying and..

Looks like his misfortune decided to pay him a visit. As he re-grabbed

the glass and pulled, Othinus decided to pull a little harder and put a bit extra strength behind it.

As a result Touma lost his balance and tumbled forwards right on her.

'bang'

"Ouch"

"Ow.. Sorry, are you..." Touma started to speak but his words trailed off quickly.

He had fallen into a quite precarious position. He right on top of her, with his face millimetres apart from her's. They were so close that their rapid breathing brushed against each other. Touma's mind was going numb as he looked at Othinus.

Her face was flushed and she was breathing heavily. Heck! They both were breathing heavily.

And...

Alright there is it! Note that this chapter is 4k words long (1k more than previous). I'll try to keep increasing the word count.

Anyway, as you guessed. I thought that it was quite a moment to end the chapter, so despite me wanting to write more thought that the next chapter could be longer. Why not?

So what do you guys think will happen? Also, I am open to suggestions. I have planned a bit for the upcoming chapters, but I can incorporate new things.

Anyways see you guys soon! (Hopefully: I'll try my best- Exams are coming...)
