No Ichika will not be piloting an I.S. or going to I.S. academy, remember how in the first chapter I said this will greatly deviate from the plot events. Well this is what I meant thought there still will be interactions with the female protagonists since that's the one of the basis of the entire show. Reasoning is that he was on the ARK during the testing so they moved the I.S. he reacted with out of there.

Ichika POV

I sighed another day at school another day of people fearing me more. Apparently one of my classmates saw me fighting and apparently that gang was very infamous and really did spread all over the city, and now that everyone at school knows that there's a hit order on my head I'm being avoided even more, at least Dan is sticking with me though he has been keeping a distance still talking to me though usually through the phone.

I was walking home and decided to take the back ways to avoid the crowd. Big mistake on my part as soon as I got to a cross road two groups of fifteen high schoolers surrounded my left right and back all that was left was my front. I turned around as one of them stepped forward.

"Are you Ichika Orimura?" he asked

"Yeah, unfortunately." I replied keeping an even expression, well apparently it's a weekly basis with the attacks.

"Well to bad for you, our boss wants us bet your ass into submission"

"Is that right?" I think some of them were unnerved the fact that I was keeping calm. At times like these it calls for the hit and run maneuver. I punched the guy who stepped forward in the face sending him flying into the group making a few lose balance sending them to the ground. And now for the run part of the plan meaning I am turning and getting the hell out of there!

I heard some of the delinquents behind me yell "You bastard! Get back here!" Like hell that's happening!

"Stop running you coward" how am I coward if you send thirty people after me? I may be a little crazy but I'm not an idiot. Yes I know several people would disagree with me… shut up.

Madoka POV

After I had the talk with Ichika a week ago I went and talked to Chifuyu-nee I thought she'd be worried about it but to my surprise she already knew that and was apparently over that, I would've thought she would scold him. Cecilia was angry that a man of all people was able to defeat an I.S. on foot, yeah apparently she has embraced the idea of women being stronger than men. Me? I just don't care. I don't think my brother does either

Currently I was watching my brothers' video the one sent back with the plane, I was after what he called D-day.

"Hey well our first confrontation, I think it went well" he seemed unsure "*sigh* I had to kill people…" I gasped "it wasn't the first time but still… It doesn't make me sad that I feel bad for killing someone, I'm sad that I don't. the only good thing that happened is that we were successful and that none of my brothers died" I remember how he explained the term brother, the video ended and I moved to day two. "Well tonight were breaking in to Security HQ to rescue one of our brothers, Nechayev" he paused and I wondered what was so important about him "you see he's the pilot, if we don't bust him out all our efforts will be for nothing and I'll probably never get out of here"

"Ichika it's time" said a voice in a different language I didn't understand it but my brother did.

"Well I have to go now" he picked up a weapon next to him it was bullpup SMG if I'm not mistaken he loaded it and walked off. It changed Ichika was sitting on a box in front of a shipping container it was night out. "the mission was a success" he said but didn't look to happy "we got Nechayev out and he's safe now, but…" his voice was heavy "we lost someone when we charged the wall I was the one to plant the HE charge he covered me and we had to hold out while the timer detonated, one of heavies got him with a mini gun and he went down. The bullet pierced his lung and the medic couldn't get to him in time" he chuckled a bit except this one was somewhat sad "From there on I decided that I'm not going to make sure that I just escape I'm going to that every last one of my brothers makes it out of this."

I stopped it there that look in Ichikas' eyes is something I never seen before it was full of determination. For some reason I got the sudden urge to talk to him.

Ichika POV

CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, I've been running for five minutes straight and they still haven't given up I used my Parkour skills and lost them a few times but they still found me I was running through an alley again. All of sudden this guy came out of another alley without warning and we collided. "What the hell watch where you're going!" I yelled

"Me! What about you!" he yelled back he had blonde hair well that was the only thing significant about him other than that he looked like an average Japanese person.

"I'm being chased by a friggin gang, I don't have time to look where I'm going!" I replied

"You too?" he had a surprised look on his face

"Huh?" I had dumb look on my face

"There they are!" there back but there are only three of them I looked at the guy he looked at me we nodded in mutual understanding. We then proceeded to punch the closest one on the face and synchronously delivered uppercuts to the other two.

"Okay why are they after you" he asked

I explained to him how I kicked the bully's ass, and how I am running because I refused to join their gang.

"Is that so?" he replied from a thoughtful look "Me too, apparently they think any kid who got off from the ARK is worthy of their gang"

"Hey I was on the ARK too" I replied "though I was only on there for three years but still"

"Hey now I recognize your that kid in the video" he said a look of realization came to his face "Wait you also took one of those robot things too!" probably referring to the I.S. "why the hell are you running, these guys should be no problem for you!"

"Are you nuts? There was like thirty guys back there!" I replied "When I face the I.S. it was just me and my fire team!" though they didn't do much except Doc, he was some help. But before this conversation could go any farther a big group of delinquents showed up.

"OH SHIT!" we both yelled this at the same time and took off running. But of all times my cell phone rang.

"Hello" I said more like yelled in rushed tone.

"Ichika… I need to talk to you about something" it was Madoka

"Madoka? Look now is not a great ti-" just then a small projectile flew over my head "What the hell? Was that a bullet? Where the hell they get a freaking handgun?" I more or less asked to the guy running next to me.

"No, there just CO2 pellets" he replied "they won't kill you, but they hurt like hell" just then one of them hit me in the ass. But I sucked it up and kept running.

"Ichika what's going on?" asked Madoka she sounded concern. Can't really blame her.

"listen Madoka" I said in a tense but clam voice "I am currently running for my life, from a bunch of delinquents, whatever you want to say can wait, but I promise I'll talk to you later." I hung up on her. Rude? Probably, but I don't have time to be polite!

I looked forward and saw a wall coming up at the end of a alley we just turned down. "Hey can you free run?" I asked the guy running next to me.

"Are you kidding? Everyone from the ARK knows how to free run" okay I feel stupid now, but he got what I was planning. And as if we planned we both jumped of the side wall just making it to the top of the wall with our hands and pulled ourselves over. Once we got to the other side we both stopped for a breather.

"Okay." I said panting "you may already know this but my name is Ichika Orimura"

"My name is Kazuma Raikagure"(AN: no idea if that's a real last name or not XD)

"Alright listen" I said coming up with admittedly one of my better ideas "how about we watch each other's backs, as in if I see you in an overwhelming fight I jump in and you do the same for me.

"Deal" he had an exhausted smile on his face "So who was on the phone?"

"That's just my sister" I explained "she's been calling me every day since I got back" well we haven't seen each other for three years.

The sun was setting by the time I returned to my house. Luckily for me I still had half the fish from last night Chang was gone for a few days probably being conservative about his food. He was back when I caught this I t was bigger than the last one but Chang caught an even bigger one. I wonder what kind of bait he uses... ah well whatever I don't have to worry about it tomorrow. If you think that it's careless to think this way, not so! I learned a lesson on the ARK. If you have time to worry about tomorrow you should worry about surviving today. Then again the time I learned this, bullets were flying at me… also I learned that you shouldn't dwell in the past, and instead deal with the present, I learned this when bullets were flying at my team in day-3. So basically I learned to pull my head out of my ass and deal with what I got. Words to live by.

Oh almost forgot I have to talk to Madoka I picked up my phone and dialed her number

"Hello" it was her voice

"Alright, Madoka what did you want to talk about?" I asked

"I was looking over your video logs" she replied, well I see where this is going "just watched day-2, and I want you to know that if you want to talk about anything, I'm here"

"Thanks Madoka that means a lot" I said "But I'm over losing my brother, the other guys helped me with that."

Flashback Post mission

I am so depressed right now I just lost a brother I'm use to seeing people dying at this point but I actually knew that guy… Damn it I was right there to! It was raining now which means we have extra water but the rain also seemed to fit the mood.

"Ichika." I turned it was Nick he was looking at me with sympathetic eyes "listen that Jeff knew what he was signing up for before he picked up his gun, he knew he could die, but he believed that if he did it would bring us one step closer to freeing the ARK, also there's another thing he said before he went on the mission" Nick then punched me in the gut.

"What the hell was that for!" I yelled

"He said that if anyone grieves over me, punch them in the gut and get their head back in the fight!"

Flashback end

"Good times…" I said thoughtfully

"Oh okay…" she sounded disappointed, probably not, why would she disappointed of someone getting over a depression "Well there's one other thing I wanted to tell you…" she trailed off.

"Yes?" I asked

"The class representative tournament is tomorrow." She said, what the hell was that?

"The what?"

"Right you probably don't know what it is" said Madoka "Well I am the class representative and in I.S. Academy we have a tournament between classes and I'm in it"

"Huh…" I said "Well good for you."

"Well it's a televised event so It would mean a lot if you watched it" oh now I get what she wants me to do.

"Sure I'll watch it" I replied smiling, if I can get home without running into too much trouble

"Great!" I can practically hear her happiness. "oh and guess who I'm facing!"

"How would I know?"

"its Ling Rin!" there's a surprise, I wondered why I haven't seen her yet you see when I was in middle school before ending up on the ARK she was my childhood friend short time though but you know shit happens. It was kind of the same deal with houki except instead of scaring the crap out of everyone she was loud and that put everyone off. I tried making friends with her but I may have pissed her off in the process somehow…geez I do not get girls. Well anyways later that day I ended up protecting her from of group of bullies and fending them off. Of course I didn't have combat experience at this point so a lot more pain for me, but I still won Madoka freaked out when Rin helped me into infirmary bruised and battered. But anyways Rin became friends with me, Madoka, and Dan; she didn't see Ran all that much but oh well.

"Seriously?" I asked surprised

"Yeah she apparently came back from China" she said "though she didn't say what for. But she was blushing so I think she has a crush on someone." She had mischievous voice when she said this.

"Really" I said mocking interest "well I hope that works out for her"

The next day when I got back the tournament was going to start, today was normal for me I didn't get into any fights I think my class is starting to accept me more, and It's a break tomorrow and I don't have homework!

*Boom*

*sigh* that was outside my house and now my combat intuition is going off…*sigh* well never a dull moment right?

Alright I have been inspired with this story and I am actually at one of the parts that I have been wanting to get to even before I began writing this.

And for my Naruto/legend of the legendary heroes crossover, writers block is a bitch isn't it, I mean I know what I am going to do it's just all the little details getting in the way!

Also would people comment more often I don't care if your guest or not, I look at everyones Review
