Date A Live Season 3 Chapter 2
Hello! It is very nice to see you all again!
I hope to give you a very enjoyable experience.
Please give me a review if you are so inclined.
Last time on Date A Live Season 3
Some school bullies in Shido's class have taken away Yoshinon from Yoshino, Shido now, is confronting the bullies.
"Yoshinon doesn't belong to you. So could you please give her back?"He says trying to stay calm.
"What was that Itsuka? I didn't hear you." One of the students says, obviously trying to intimidate him.
But Shido has faced worse than school bullies for the well-being of the girls.
"I asked if you could return Yoshinon. Please." He says holding his hand out.
"Yoshinon? Who is that?" He asks getting in Shido's face. Shido replies with, "It's the rabbit, now hand her over. I'm not in a very good mood."
"And what if I don't. What are you gonna do Its-u-ka" He says sounding out the syllables in Shido's ear.
"You wanna see?" Shido Asks angrily.
Suddenly, the spacial quake alarm goes off.
Now, on Date A Live Season 3
As the spacial quake alarm went off Shido's eyes turned a light-blue, he had an ominous, icy aura surrounding him.
"A spacial quake?" The bully asks in disbelief.
In the bullies confusion, Shido moves toward him, striking him in the core, forcing the bully into the wall with the help of a blast of icy winds.
"What the hell?!" The bully says struggling to stand up. "What're you all doing? Get'em!"
One of the bullies tries to attack Shido by charging him.
As the bully swings into the charge, Shido dodges it by a hair, almost getting hit, "What?" The charging bully asks confused.
As the bully charges one more time Shido dodges perfectly, but this time, as he dodges away, Shido freezes the floor in front of the bully with a wave of his hand.
The bully crashes into the wall, unable to stop his momentum due to the icy floor.
As he slowly walks forward over to the bullies, the bully in the back says, "G-go! Don't let him get me!"
As the bully runs toward him Shido says, "oh I see, the reason you messed with Yoshino is some hierarchy bull crap!"
The bully throws a punch and Shido stops the punch with his hand.
"Let go!" The bully says trying to break from Shido's grasp.
Shido just stares at the bully, with a look of pure disgust. "If you struggle it'll hurt even more" He says warning him.
As he says this the bullies hand starts to get surrounded by ice.
As Shido lets go of the bullies hand It falls, slamming into the floor, "What the hell!" The bully yells trying to lift up his hand that was encased in an ice block.
"This is what you get when you use a hierarchy as an excuse to hurt people, especially when its one of the many people I care about!" Shido yells, running at the bully.
"We didn't hurt her! We didn't do anything!" The bully yells as a last ditch effort to not get pummeled by Shido.
As Shido hears this he stops, inches away from striking the bully."Hmm?" He asks retracting his hand.
"Let me ask you a question" Shido says forcibly turning the bullies head toward Yoshino, hiding behind the teacher's desk, looking terrified.
"Does that look like a girl who isn't hurt, you took her best friend and I bet that hurt a lot!" Shido says angrily.
"I think she's more afraid of you" The bully pipes out, covering his hand over his mouth noticing he might've made him even more mad.
Shido's eyes turn back to normal from the slight realization of this fact, hoping, with all his might that Yoshino would never be afraid of him.
"The hell are you talking about!?" Shido asks, suddenly snapping back into the scary, blue-eyed Shido.
"I-I'm saying that... That she might be afraid of you" The bully says, trembling.
As Shido hears this, his anger increases ten-fold. Under his breath you could barely hear him say, "Zadkeil"
Suddenly, something large and white starts to form behind Shido.
"Now, I'm sick of hearing your crap" Shido says raising his hand, Zadkeil doing the same.
"But the good thing is now, your gonna see a perfect example of hierarchy, the powerful pummeling the weak" Shido says, about strike.
As Shido brings his hand down Shido hears just beside him, someone saying his name.
"Shido!Shido!"
As Shido turns his head he sees Tohka diving into a hug, Embracing Shido.
As this happens, Shido's eyes go back to normal as his face turns red.
"T-T-Tohka!" Shido says surprised about the situation he's in.
"Hi Shido!" Tohka says sitting up in the spot on the floor where they landed.
"Uh,Tohka, what's going on?" Shido asks confusedly.
"Well, you seemed to be in a bad mood so I..." Tohka says trailing of as Shido was there for what she did.
"Bad mood? What are you talking about, I'm in a great..." Shido starts but stops as he sees the state of the room.
The room was covered in ice and Shido was shivering, as was everyone else in the room, even Yoshino was. As he looked around he saw the two bullies on the floor, one of them sprawled on the floor, unconscious. The second he saw was the one who's hand was being held down by an ice block, he had given up the idea of lifting it a long time ago. As he looked over to the last bully, he instantly freaked out, getting up and limping away.
"No way!" Shido says with his eyes turning blue. His hand touched the floor, freezing it, causing the bully to slip onto the floor.
As he calms down again his eyes go back to normal once more, this time making him tired and drowsy.
As he starts to fade, he sees Zadkeil fade away, into just another snow flake.
"Shido!" Both Yoshino and Tohka say, worried about Shido's health.
Shido's Dream
In Shido's dream him and all of the girls are walking together, with Yoshino and Yoshinon in the back, lagging behind.
Shido notices this and says,"Come on, Yoshino" Shido suggests kindly.
Yoshino just cowers behind the girls and Tohka in front says, "Your scaring Yoshino!"
Shido is heartbroken that Tohka- any of them, would say that.
"What do you mean?" Shido asks desperately trying to clear up whatever problem there is.
"Look" Tohka says holding up a mirror.
Shido takes the mirror and looks into it, at first he sees just his reflection, nothing to worry about, but then he saw something disturbing.
In the mirror he saw... not Shido Itsuka... something else, it looked like the remains of Shido Itsuka after he was consumed by Zadkeil.
A human, rabbit, amalgamation of... not even Shido could describe it.
But Tohka could, "Your a monster" She says with the utter most disgust in her voice.
And with these words, Shido was immediately brought to his knees, trying to hold back tears.
Tohka and all the girls walk off, not taking a second glance just walking away from Shido.
He was alone.
When the full realization finally sinked in he couldn't stop the crying, no amount of power could keep him from missing the women who he cared for so much.
As he sit there on his knees, alone, he wondered only one thing, "What did I do wrong? All of them... All of them... Even Tohka." He cried even more at the fact that Tohka, the spirit he was the closest to, left him alone.
Ratatoskr MediBay
Shido wakes up, puffy eyed, sleeping in a puddle of his own tears.
He sits up and says, "I know it was just a dream but... It hurt just as much" He wipes his eyes with his sleeve, "Tohka"
Suddenly Shido was ambushed by Tohka hugging him. "Shido!" She says happily, hugging him.
"Tohka!" Shido says surprisedly.
"I'm so glad your OK!" She says hugging him tighter.
"Tohka! I can't breath!" Shido says gasping for air.
"whoops! sorry Shido." She says loosening her grip on him.
"It's alright" Shido says, in turn, tightening is grip on Tohka.
"Huh? Shido?" Tohka asks, confused.
"Just... Just for a little while. OK?" Shido says showing no signs of letting go.
"Well, OK, this is fine with me" Tohka says getting comfortable.
Shido reminisces to his dream, particularly the part where Tohka, shunning Shido, walks away into nothingness.
Shido tightens his grip a bit more, "Tohka" He says speaking his mind.
"Huh? what?" She says breaking the hug.
Shido breaks out of his daydreaming, "Oh sorry, I guess I was just dozing there, sorry" Shido says scratching the back of his head.
Tohka sits down on the bed with him, "No, it's fine, you must be tired, you should probably go back to sleep" Tohka suggests, helpfully.
"If I'm the reason Shido gets a good night sleep then I will definitely get a pat on the head!" Tohka thinks to herself imagining Shido patting her on the head.
"Good job, Tohka. Thank you!" Shido says in Tohka's imagination, patting her on the head.
Tohka has a huge smile on her face as she imagines this thought.
"Uh, Tohka?" Shido asks, waving his hand in front of her face.
"oh, sorry Shido." She says breaking out of her daydreaming."I still think you should get some rest"
"No, I'm fine, I'll be up once I get going, but wish I had some coffee" Shido says wondering where he might get coffee.
"I know how you feel, Shin" Reine says, popping up behind them.
"Reine!" Shido says, falling off the bed, startled.
"I'm sorry Shin, did I surprise you?" She says, as tired as she has always been.
"Yeah, you surprise people when you sneak up on them, Reine!" Shido says, getting back up.
Reine bows her head slightly, as to apologize, "I apologize Shin, but that was not my goal. May I continue with what I was saying?" She asks, her eyes half open as usual.
"hmm?" Shido asks trying to remember what Reine said, "oh, yeah! Sorry for interrupting you" Shido says scratching the back of his head.
"It's fine, Shin. At the time you were surprised with my presence and were startled, you would've had to of expected me to not be surprised" Reine says, sitting in a chair in front of Tohka and Shido.
"But yes, you were quite rude to interrupt me, Shin" Reine says getting out a cup of coffee.
"But you just-" Shido says confused about her contradiction. "Never mind, please continue"
"Thank you, as I was saying, I understand how you feel Shin, somehow Ratatoskr has been low on coffee lately" She says, looking at her coffee cup.
"I wonder why" Shido says tiredly. "Reine, I have a question"
"What?" Reine asks, taking a sip of her coffee.
Shido asks, "Exactly how many gallons of coffee do you drink per day?"
"Why does that matter?" Reine asks putting some more coffee in her cup.
"Just please answer me" Shido says, trying to prove a point.
Reine counts out on her fingers, "1,2,3,4,5...11" She says aloud.
"about seven i'd say" Reine says, practically guessing at this point. "Why does that matter?"
"*sigh* Never mind" Shido says, giving up on ever getting through to Reine.
"You know what? I don't think I need any coffee" Shido says standing up, "Let's go Tohka"
"Alright!" Tohka says jumping off the bed.
Reine steps in front of them, "Wait Shin, I need to make sure your healthy before you go" She says keeping them from leaving.
"OK, what do I have to do?" Shido asks being slightly impatient, since he wanted to check-in on all of the girls.
But he knew the importance of knowing if or if not he was healthy enough to go to school.
He couldn't exactly take care of the girls with lousy health.
"Here, read this thoroughly to know what to do" Reine says hand Shido a booklet.
"Alright! Lets get this over with so I can make some lunch. I'm really hungry" Shido says cracking open the booklet.
"Hello, and welcome to your very own Ratatoskr health assessment test booklet TM, we would've given something that's technological, but Kotori wasn't in the mood" Shido reads out loud.
"What is this?" Shido asks skeptical this will be helpful in any way.
"It's Ratatoskr's number one health assessment test... in booklet form." Reine says going over to the coffee machine to get more coffee.
"Alright if you say so" Shido says opening it back up again.
"Now you will be performing the first and last step in your very own Ratatoskr health assessment test TM, please turn the page to continue" Shido says aloud.
As he turned the page he saw something very strange, a particular word sprawled all over the page.
The word was "Twirl"
Shido pauses, opening and closing the booklet again and again, hoping there was some trick to it. When he couldn't find anything else to the instruction he asked, "What is this?"
Rein replies "Like I said, It's your very own Ratatoskr health assessment-" "Please stop" Shido says, holding up his hand to stop her.
"What's wrong?" Reine asks putting some sugar in her coffee.
"It's the instructions, Why does it just say "Twirl"? Shido says, holding up the booklet.
"Well I haven't read the booklet in a while... My first thought is that you have to twirl" Reine says sitting back in her chair.
"But why? I could do anything else, why twirling?"Shido asks, complaining.
"Because Shin, in our line of work, that is the best way to test someone's health." Reine says simply.
"Oh, yeah? How so?" Shido asks skeptically.
"Let me show you, Shin" Reine says, standing up, "Tohka, could you please twirl in place?"
"Hmm? Why?" Tohka asks getting off the bed.
"Oh, just to prove a point to Shin." Reine says patting Tohka on the shoulder.
"Shin, please take a seat" Reine says, pulling out a chair for Shido.
"yeah, sure" Shido says sitting down in his seat.
Reine says, "Now Tohka, please twirl"
Tohka complies and twirls around elegantly. She looked so happy to twirl around for Shido.
Seeing Tohka look so happy, Shido decided to also, smile.
"You see now Shin, doesn't she look healthy?" Reine asks watching Tohka twirl.
"Yeah, she does" Shido says, almost in a daze, "Tohka"
Suddenly, Shido started to reminisce about his dream. "Your a monster!"
Shido suddenly doesn't look so happy, but instead sad. He knew it was just a dream but it still hurt just to think about it.
Suddenly, Tohka starts to notice Shido's expression and asks, "Shido? Are you OK?"
"Huh? Oh sorry, I guess I was dozing off again huh?" Shido says trying to not give notice to his bad mood.
"So you do need more sleep" Tohka says worriedly.
"No,no I said I'd be up once I got going, besides I just half to twirl right?" Shido asks, facing Reine.
"Yes, once you twirl a couple of times, then can you leave." Reine said getting out her phone.
"Ok." Shido says very uncompliant.
Shido very unwillingly twirls in circles.
After one of the twirls, he sees Reine, Tohka, and Kotori taking pictures of him twirling.
"What do you think your doing?" Shido says stopping.
"Oh just sending an interesting photo to mom and dad, that's all" Kotori says as her phone flashes away.
"Hey!" running over to Kotori taking her phone. "Don't do that!"
"What's wrong Shido? Mom and Dad did say we should send them some pictures since they're always away" Kotori says getting her phone back.
"And send!" Kotori says, pushing the button on her phone.
As she looks toward Shido she sees him attempting to keep in laughter.
"What's so funny?" Kotori asks, confused.
"Look at your phone again, Kotori" Shido says, cracking a grin.
"You don't have a picture to send" Kotori says, reading it off her phone.
"You deleted it?!" She asks, angrily.
"Of course I did" Shido says walking over to a now pouting Kotori. "Don't you think I would have deleted it the moment I got the phone?"
Kotori replies, "Yeah, that makes sense" "If you want a picture then you should just ask." Shido says kindly.
"Well... than.. can I get a picture of you with the girls?" Kotori asks innocently.
"Sure" Shido says, smiling.
Secretly, unknown by Shido, Kotori has a sinister smile, "I'm sure if I send Mom and Dad a picture of the girls with Shido that will give them just the amount of wrong ideas to be perfect!"
"So I twirled, so can I leave yet?" Shido says, sitting up from his chair.
"Why of course, Shin" Reine says, walking to the door.
"Thank goodness" Shido says, walking towards the door, "Let's go Tohka"
Kotori, standing behind them says, "Wait a minute, Shido!"
A Shido hears this he immediately stops and looks around to Kotori. "What now?" Shido asks, afraid he would be interrupted from making him and Tohka some lunch.
"I just wanted to ask you about what happened this morning" Kotori says, pulling out a sucker.
"This morning? What about it?" Shido asks, getting comfortable since this'll probably take a while.
"What happened?" Kotori asks looking at Shido.
"What happened? well..." Shido scratches the back of his head, "I don't actually remember"
"What? Are you sure?" Kotori asks, wondering if he's lying.
"Yeah, I'm sure. All I remember is dropping Yoshino off at school, the bullies, and then nothing..." Shido says, getting lost, thinking about his nightmare.
"Why?" Shido asks confused.
"Because Shin, if it weren't for Tohka, your anger toward the bullies may have been used in a "less than positive manner"" Reine says, quoting withe her fingers the words "less than positive manner".
"Less than positive? What do you mean?" Shido asks, confused.
Kotori cuts in, "I guess we should show you the footage"
Kotori gets a remote from the table with the coffee machine and turn on a monitor.
"Wait a minute... has that monitor been there the entire time?" Shido asks, surprised he never noticed it.
"No, we added it just in case we had to show you something in here" Kotori says, flipping to the footage of Shido's classroom.
Shido watches in interest as he sees himself confront the bullies, "Yeah I remember this" Shido says remembering the moment.
"Be quiet, Shin" Reine says, holding her finger to her mouth.
"hmm?" Shido asks confused.
"Just watch" Reine says quietly.
As the footage continues they all see the part when Shido uses Yoshino's ice powers. Reine and Kotori look at Shido as he watches the footage with confusion on his face, then utter terror. Both of them look at the footage to see what made him react this way. What they saw was the part where Shido had his hand, ready to attack.
"Kotori..." Shido says, sadly, "Please... turn it off"
Kotori pushes the off button and the monitor turns off. She stands there silently, hoping Tohka or Reine would do something.
Suddenly Reine says, "Shin, do you know what happened in that footage?"
"I... I don't know" Shido says, looking almost... defeated.
"Would you like me to explain?" Reine asks, standing up.
"Hmm?" Shido says, breaking out of his daze, "Oh yeah, please"
"Alright, Shin I think what happened was the spirit power from all the girls is finally taking it's affect on your body" She says sitting down in front of Shido.
"On my body? How so?" Shido asks, lifting his head in interest.
"Think about it. When Yoshino was in trouble you had a dip in your emotional state and you could use her powers. It's that simple" Reine says simply.
"Yeah, but I've never reacted that way before." Shido says, confused.
"Well, I'm sure it's because this is first time the girls spirit powers have manifested on their own so I"m sure it was just a one time thing." Reine says reassuring Shido.
"Well If you say so" Shido says standing up "Lets go Tohka"
As he walks out the door with Tohka Kotori says, "Just make sure you stay in good mood!" She says half joking and half serious.
"Yeah, I will" Shido says as he leaves the room.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to keep this from Shin, Kotori?" Reine asks Kotori.
Kotori replies, "I'm not sure... It's hard to tell."
"Shin was generating enough spirit energy to make a crater the size of a hermit class spirit. That might not have done much to the city as a whole, but it would've killed at least everyone in the school" Reine says, making sure Kotori understood the point.
"Yeah, I know. It's just that we shouldn't stress Shido, this is too dangerous." Kotori says, uncertain.
"The danger gives us only more reason for us to tell him" Reine says, still keeping the same tone of voice.
"I'm not sure Reine..." Kotori stretches "We can decide after Shido's lunch" Kotori says pushing Reine out the door.
"Alright, I guess it can wait." Reine says running with Kotori to Shido's lunch.
Shido's Apartment
Shido was stirring a pot in his apartment, making dinner for him, and his guests. His guests included all the girls, even Reine.
"Today was a crazy day" Shido thought to himself, thinking about what happened this morning "But I suppose I shouldn't worry like Reine told me to"After a couple of minutes dinner was ready and Shido had set the dinner table, "Its ready!" Shido said sitting down.
"Don't sit down yet big bro!' Kotori says, running up to Shido.
"What's wrong?" Shido asks, getting up.
"Remember, you said you would take a picture with all of us" Kotori says innocently.
"Oh yeah" Shido says walking over to the girls.
"Alright" Kotori says getting a tripod "now Reine go there" Kotori said pointing toward the front with Yoshino.
"Now..." Kotori says running over to the crowd "everybody say cheese!"
"Cheese!" Everyone said in sync, with a big smile on all their faces.
