Author Notes: First I am sorry for such a long wait for the next update. I've been rather busy lately but instead of keeping you waiting any longer here is the first portion of what was supposed to be a larger chapter. I'm still working on the rest but have to get around my own schedule to do it.

Blood Trinity - I don't know if I will get around to explaining it in story so I will here. It is my headcanon that many of the Urban Legends on the website are very obscured and inaccurate retellings of real events concerning the dark side of Academy City. But with majority of the Dark Side as it pertains to the students have been abolished to a large degree many of those whose entire lives revolved around it are left with nothing to do. So in this story some of them like to keep watch of the Dark Side in hopes of looking for some fun by frequenting the Urban Legend Site.

Guest - There is an actual reason within the story that will be explained later but the choice to give them such large amounts of paper documents instead of digital copies of Touma's records was played up for as much laughs as I could get because it would've been a missed opportunity if I didn't, either way there is a reason for it.

I would like to give my thanks to those who have read, commented and reviewed this story and I would also like to thank you for your patience against my terrible updates schedule. And to show my appreciation I have decided to add more to each update. From now on each update will come with a random, useless, and interesting trivia fact. For example

"Did you know that there is a working ATM in Antarctica."

Yes because we all know how awesome those malls in Antarctica are, right.

I also believe that it is good for a writer to try to acknowledge and get involved with their readers as much as possible, so from now on alongside with the fun facts I will also be doing Q&As if at any time you have question for me please feel free to ask either through direct messaging or through the review section and I will try my best to respond accordingly. These questions do not have to pertain to the story ,they could be more about myself if you wish or just my opinions something that you either like or dislike there isn't anything you can't ask only things that I can decline to answer, like what my credit card number is.

I hope this chapter is satisfactory to all who read it. And I hope to receive your response regarding it. Enjoy.

"…So as you can see, all of the information surrounding this guy has been either altered, changed, misplaced, or completely deleted, and the only solid congregation of information is on this super tight network that not even I could hack."

"So why are you telling me this?"

"Ever since the dark side has been removed no one ever has anything fun to do. And a bunch of information being eliminated and altered even on the urban legend site where information is already super obscured doesn't investigating this sound fun?"

"But why ask me, weren't we enemies?"

"Who cares, this won't be as super fun by myself."

"What about the rest of ITEM?"

"Hamazurra is out somewhere again, Mugino seems preoccupied with something and I haven't seen a face like that on her in a long time and I sure as hell ain't gonna be the one stupid enough to get in her way, and Takitsubo is too busy taking care of Fremea. So I'm outsourcing to the different super factions of the dark side. With our combined connections we could totally figure out who this super terrorist esper is. So are you interested?"

"Well, guess this could be interesting. Do you have any leads?"

"Of course, say do you always wear that red dress?"

As Saten was cowering in fear from the verbal onslaught, Kuroko took the initiative to teleport away any blunt and heavy objects. Although all possible homicide weapons have been removed it seems murder was inevitable, for Uiharu's own two hands were weapons that even the strongest level 5 couldn't handle and the poor innocent victim was left in blaze on the floor. The rest of the dorm was burning to the ground and the victim was trapped until there would be nothing but ash. Uiharu had ensured that the evidence was irreparably destroyed. Outside the dorm Kuroko stood there with her partner and stared with fear and awe as the fire in her eyes was almost as if she was satisfied with the carnage that she had unleashed. The screams of horror and pain could be heard as it fell unto death ears.

"MY COMPUTER!"

"Seriously, I didn't know you can set objects on fire just by touching them?"

"YOU KILLED IT!"

"Heh heh neither did I, I only meant to toss it out the window."

"WHAT KIND OF HORRIBLE PERSON BLOWS UP A YOUNG TEENAGER'S COMPUTER?!"

"She seems rather upset."

"Well, she should be, this is what she gets for being so irresponsible, besides now that her computer has been destroyed and I was the only one to catch on to her little chat room there isn't any evidence to suggest anything happened."

"I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A BACK UP HARD DRIVE!"

"Uhh, you forgot about the dorm building burning to the ground, it kind of draws in attention you know."

"Don't worry the fire safety system should activate any time now and put out the fire before it leaves her room."

As she finished an alarm had gone off and people were exiting the building calmly.

"Ah there it is."

"Ok so the building didn't receive any damage but the same can't be said about her room, where do you expect her to live exactly?"

"Well her room will need some time to be repaired and refurbished, then she can move back in. Until then she could either live on the street or choose to live with me after all her punishment is far from over."

Kuroko's spine shivered at Uiharu's lack of mercy but still she brought forth the courage to bring out the obvious.

"Couldn't she just get assigned a different dorm?"

"More than likely, yes, but then again all of that is done through computers, now isn't it?"

At this moment Kuroko had realized it was a good time to shut up, unfortunately for her Saten did not.

"UIHARU, WHY DID YOU DESTROY MY COMPUTER? THERE WAS NO REASON T-"

"SHUT UP! YOU HACKED INTO JUDGMENT'S MAINFRAME, GAVE OUT ACCESS TO IT TO COMPLETE STRANGERS, AND DIDN'T EVEN THINK ONCE ON HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOU WOULD CAUSE!
I'M IN CHARGE OF THE INTEGRITY OF OUR SECURITY! EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION THE 177TH BRANCH HAS EVER RECEIVED WAS IN THERE, AND IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE EVIDENCE DOESN'T GET LEAKED AND THAT THOSE WHO MAY HAVE A VENDETTA AGAINST ANY JUDGMENT MEMBERS CAN'T GET THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO HARM THEM!
THEY TRUSTED ME WITH THAT JOB AND YOU BETRAYED ME! I COULD GET FIRED OVER THIS AND FOR WHAT A CHAT ROOM FOR URBAN LEGENDS AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES, IS THAT REALLY ENOUGH FOR YOU GO BEHIND MY BACK AND PUT EVERYTHING I CARE ABOUT IN JEOPARDY?!"

Uiharu was holding back tears but unlike previously these weren't the tears of an overemotional little girl but the tears of mature woman trying to hold back the pain of a betrayal and a shattered heart.

'I've never seen a face like that on her, was her rage a front for her true feelings?' Saten thought to herself as she tried to speak but Uiharu's response shut her down before she even had a chance.

"Just leave me alone." These final words were heard as she walked away with her head down turning her back on her dear friend.

Kuroko walked up beside Saten as her eyes watched Uiharu's already small and grow even smaller. Both stood there in silence and self-reflection that could have lasted two seconds or two hours neither really knew nor thought about it. But what was thought about was that for the first time Saten admitted to herself that she didn't think about what she had done but now she wasn't sure if she could ever stop.

"I really put her in a bad situation didn't I?"

More than you know, It's Judgment regulation that an incident like this gets reported and the culprit taken into custody, and that would probably have led you to receiving some jail time."

Saten stared at her in shock unable to think of what kind of words she should respond with. But it was Kuroko who responded by continuing her train of thought.

"But she didn't report it nor did she bring culprit in, she instead withheld and destroyed evidence, lied about the committing of a crime, and even committed arson, to keep a "criminal" from going to jail. All of these are serious crimes but even worse for a Judgment officer."

Kuroko paused for moment, rather she was undergoing a form of reflection and deep thought or just wanted to put emphasis on what was to follow was unsure and still is.

"If this incident was found out you would probably get off much easier because Uiharu's over the top series of illegal actions would not only suggest admittance of guilt with the serious offenses she had committed trying to hide the crime but her guilt of the original crime itself. She would probably not only get fired but also face serious prison time and be expelled from her school and maybe even kicked out of Academy City. The judge would probably look at the successful hack of Academy City's law enforcement network to create a chat room as a basis to sell information on Espers and technology and Uiharu's actions as an attempt to remove evidence of her own involvement."

Filled with overwhelming guilt, Saten's eyes had become that of pools as she struggled to respond.

"What could I- How could I possibly make up for that, I practically ruined her life?"

"If you asking if she could ever forgive you, I think the answer is obvious that she will."

"How could you think that, after all of this how, no, why would she ever forgive me?"

"Because despite feeling betrayed, despite knowing full well what happen if she did, she still cared about you enough to keep you from getting in trouble even if it meant her getting in more trouble as result. As for what you should do, I don't know but I don't think what you do is the point, it's the fact that you want to that makes it obvious that your friendship isn't over."

Ok, A lot of feels in this one. Kind of of a mood whiplash from last chapter but what do you think is their friendship destroyed, am I that sadistic of an author. Please feel free to give me you feed back, it will be most of appreciated.

So Long and Thanks for All the Fish!
