Chapter 2: Time To Cook Up A Mess

Walking home: Shido carried origami home from building one of the DEM since she had such bad injuries from fighting one of the strongest wizards in the world, she was lucky to have only possibly some broken ribs and a concussion along with the various scrapes, cuts, and bruises. But she clung to him as if she was awake but he knew full well she was out cold due to the massive fight that just happened. Shido walked home with her on his back while tohka on his right holding his arm and miku on his left doing the same making it imposible to carry origami but he pulled it off somehow. The yamai twins were walking in front of him having their normal banter about who was better and having a contest to see who could flaunt their stuff better making shido watch them walk to see who had the nicer ass and who could sway their hips better. He knew it was pointless but he enjoyed the show anyways. Yoshino was walking behind shido holding onto his shirt like a little kid but its understandable as she was younger then his sisters and was afraid of the world.

His sister mana just watched from behind thinking how much she wished he'd pay attention to her as all she wanted was to have a brother to protect her like he did the rest of the girls even though he as well as them didn't need it, it was the thought that mattered and the fact he acted on those to. She pondered how she could get him alone to try and talk to him, get to know him, become a part of his life.

That part made her sad as she could only remember the last two years of her life but his face was always there even though she had lost her memory. Finally she thought. She could make something of this time to make a life where maybe she could become a part of his life, going to school, doing clubs after school, maybe even getting picked on just so shido would defend her even though she could probably kill the people picking on her.

Everthing seemed to slow down as they neared his house, the girls stopped fighting over him and the yamai twins stopped arguing. It was quiet and peaceful, even for just a second.

Shido looked up at the sky starting to brighten only slightly the world going from black to dark purple, the clouds seemed to be pushed towards him and away from the sun as if the sun itself wanted space. The stars were out tonight and you could make out some even in this city, but where he lived it was on the outskirts of the city so the light pollution wasn't too bad so you could see more stars from here. The sky sparkled with life tonight, each star blinking its brilliant light to him. Each star a beauty of its own, but each still alone in the sky, separated by millions of lightyears even though they look so close to one another in the darkened sky above. He thought to himself how even though he was surrounded by girls. He felt alone. He first started this mess because of one girl with sad eyes like his own. He was mesmerized. But still couldn't confide in these girls, they were all into to much he thought that if he let them in they'd for sure run for the hills to just see even a glimpse of his darkness.

That's why he had to protect them, why he went out of his way to make all these spirits feel at home. Safe. He wanted to feel safe, so he made them feel safe. They say you look for something in other people that you can help with in someone else's life because you're struggling with that in your own but cant fix yourself so you hide it and worry about someone else's. That's why shido felt so alone. Just like those stars, why he wished they could be closer and not so lonely. How he's trying to build a safe place for these young women so maybe he won't feel as lonely anymore. He just wanted someone to confide in.

Shido hadn't realized that he'd been staring at the sky and that they'd stopped walking because he had stopped and the girls were curious to what he was thinking so they just watched him, enfixed on his face they all found so sdorable.

"s-sorry girls, I didn't mean to keep you all waiting" Skido said and hurried along with the girls looking at one another thinking over what was going through his head. But soon they all focused ahead on the house which seemed to be under renovation.

"WHATS THIS!" Shido screamed as he got to the house and his pink haired sister with her sucker in her mouth was grinning from ear to ear stepped out as they walked up.

"Oh that?" kotori said pointing with her pink sucker at the house "That's just a little extra room we're putting on the house" she said coyly.

"What WHY?!" Shido all but shrieked.

"Well we have to have a place for all your girlfriends to stay since you're so popular Mr. Harem" she giggled to herself knowing she was kind of part of his harem since technically shiro was adopted into her family and also sealed away her powers five years ago and again recently.

"You've got to be joking me... I hope you at least upgraded the plumbing and the bathroom, I can only imagine the mess with having.." he turned to count. "one..two..three..four..five..six..six" he says then his sister mana pipes up " Ummm I don't have anywhere to go since I quit the DEM.." she looks down embarrassed. At that precise moment origami decided to wake up just for a split second to say "I'm staying with Shido, cant have those woman have my man...mhmm... .." she fell back asleep while talking.

"AHH eight girls... you have got to be joking." Shido sighs and shakes his head walking up the steps.

At least I still get a room to myself where I won't be bothered he thought. However that may be true these girls with the exceptions of his two sisters had plans of their own for sleeping arrangements.

Back at the House:

Lets just say it was a mistake bringing all these girls to his house in the middle of the night almost morning as the sun was beginning to make the sky turn from black to purple starting a new day.

Shido is cooking breakfast for them at 5am and just plain exhausted since he used the spirit powers he has sealed within him so many times, plus fighting tohka and then to top it all off carrying an injured origami.

He cooked for about an hour and that was the worst hour of his life as tohka decided to try and eat yoshinon because it reminded her of food somehow and stole it away from yoshino who panicked and started to freeze the whole house till yuzuru used her wind to get it away from her and yoshino ended up catching her but the wind blew half the kitchen apart. It also incidentally made shino spill hot grease from the bacon all over him. He swore outloud and in return got a stern look from his sister that could kill and he went upstairs to wash up real quick and change shirts.

In the bathroom Miku decided to try to use her powers on him to get him to touch her breasts and down under which tohka came in while he was shirtless and miku had her tits out on shidos chest. To this she huffed then instead of getting too mad she started to undo her top and pulled her bra off showing her nice perky tits at least Cs while mikus were Ds. Tohka to shidos horror tried to wrestle miku with her tits turning shido on so much he got a nose bleed.

He quickly broke up the fight and ran for dear life to his room, grabbed a shirt and went back to the kitchen. Shido thought it was bad already but only was going to get worse. Shido walked into the kitchen to find mana and kotori arguing about who was shidos favorite sister and when they saw him dragged him into the fight barrading him with question after question of who was better and prettier and even went as far as see who he'd sleep with. He just couldn't take it anymore. He finally yelled so loud and forcefully it startled everyone.

"Everyone shut up for 5 God damn minutes and sit at the fucking table!" Shito yelled. Which to his satisfaction all the girls shut up and sat down with the exception of origami who was still sleeping on the couch. He thought to himself "finally I can get some peace and quiet and enjoy cooking". But shido did not realize that he had upset all of the girls because their feelings for him was so thick in the air you could cut it. It just reasonated with every one of those girls and he still remained oblivious for the next 10 minutes as he finished cooking and turned around only to see a dark cloud hanging over all of them and their faces turned down, hair in front of their faces so you couldn't see them. Yoshino had even gone to the extent of putting on her oversized green bunny sweater and had yoshinon in her lap.

He felt so ashamed of himself he looked down and swore to himself, he thought he'd said it quietly but his sister kotori heard and said half heartedly

"You shouldn't swear in front of ladies" still looking down not raising her head.

He just felt like the worst asshole on the planet. He wasn't sure what to do so he gathered up as much enthusiasm as he could and said

"hey guys... I'm not mad at you. I just wanted a little quiet cuz it was too roudy and its really early... I'm just exhausted. I'm sorry." as he spoke his voice dropped as well as his enthusiasm but somehow the girls raised their heads slowly in turn and looking at him with shy looks. Unsure how to take his apology they sat there for a moment until tohka stood up very suddenly holding her fist up almost screaming "Shido is a nice guy, he made us such nice food its only right to except your apology for we almost destroyed you when miku enchanted the twins and yoshino." her unkowninly that she was the closest to killing him.

Her inspirational speech lifted everyones spirits and everyone dug in.

All the girls decided to help out and pitch in by doing dishes while shido cleaned up. "thank you girls" he said as he left the dinning table to get ready for bed.

Shido closes the door and collapses on his bed having little energy. he quickly strips and puts on his pajama bottoms and sleeps topless so gets under the covers and falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow.

As he sleeps all the girls get ready for bed and all have their own intentions in mind to not let him sleep alone tonight but they all act like they go into their bedrooms on the second floor where shidos bedroom also is. But as they all close the door at the same time they all give a time to wait at intervals except for tohka who was the first to sneak out into shidos room. She crawls into his king sized bed which is so soft she almost feel asleep on spot. She cuddles up to shido under the blackets and shido ends up spooning tohka comfortably.

Next are the twins who don't fight about where they were going to sleep in his bed until they saw tohka had already stole the spotlight. but to not further upset shido they crawled up to his right all spooning one way. yuzuru closest to shido on his backside.

The diva was next and man was she angry when she came in thinking she was going to have shido all by herself. She nearly yelled she was so angry which would've incidentally woken shido and had them all kicked out. So she settled for the head of the bed where she curled up on the pillows resting shidos head on her breasts. she too was out cold as she felt shidos warmth spreading threw her body.

The sisters were last save for origami who was still sleeping on the sofa downstairs. they were the worst fighting all the way to his room tripping each other and pushing until they got into his room to see to their horror that everyone except them had already pilled onto his bed and fallen asleep. The sisters mana and kotori looked at each other and nodded in agreement much to their dislike and settled to just sleep where they could. Which this ended up being down on top of shido on his waist where the girls fell asleep instantly.

For reasons unknown to shido he dreamed he was in a furnace burning alive in a furnace as all of the girls were laughing manically and throwing more fuel to the fire making it hotter and hotter.
