A/N: Multiple pov's here as we set up for the endgame. Where will this all lead us.

16: December 31st 4:30 P.M. 177th Branch: 6 ½ Hours until 2015

I stood next to the door looking inside at what we had set up. The DJ was on his tablet looking at the final light display while our food and drink had been cleverly arranged. Sharai thankfully set up a good rig for the end. I got to admit, Saten actually gave a good idea for once, now we just got to see the results come to fruition.

"Well whose going to be lucky #1."

Unexpectedly my answer would come in the form of 2 of my classmates. They saw me and ran inside full sprint.

"Mii, here we go."

Now the night can truly begin

Kazari Uiharus Apartment 5:00 P.M.

"Misaka really, how long is this going to go on."

Ever since Kamijo exposed my involvement in his scheme to give Misaka a gift she's been giving me the silent treatment. As I fixed my dress for tonight I stared at Misaka just kicking the top of the bed repeatedly.

"Look, I said I was sorry, besides he looked like he wanted to give it to you in person."

Misaka broke her concentration and leaped off the top bunk to my level.

"Like I would have taken it from him. You have some nerve passing it off as yours. I should have known it wasn't."

"Look, I know you're in a crabby mood, but let's just go to the party and well feel better about the thing. You said it yourself if he's leaving town he won't be there."

"Uiharu I said I wouldn't talk to you until we got to the party so that still stands."

"So you pretty much just busted your own rule then."

I knew when she was stymied so I saw her grab her bag and head into the bathroom. I know she had to wear her winter uniform but she did end up accenting herself with a new underdress.

"Well you look great."

Still sticking to her guns I just saw her nod as I grabbed my red jacket.

"Ok time to go."

In silence we began our walk to the street. Hopefully she'll be in a better mood by the time we get there.

6 Blocks from The Garden of Learning 5:19 P.M.

"Sharai I know you can't teleport in the cold but were going to be late."

Saten can be a bigger pain in some instances then Sissy. No matter how many times during the past few days that she's berated me about how slow I go in the cold, she still does it, thankfully its only for another few days. Then its back to school and back with Sissy.

"Well Saten, Konori did say the party started at 6:30 But we had to be there at 6 to finish setting up."

"Well Its 5:22 now, Can we speed this along otherwise were never going to get there."

"Ok Saten, You want speed I can show you speed."

Sharai ended up hopping onto my shoulder as we went flying at full speed. From what Misaka mentioned she did have good speed in air when we went along rooftops.

"Misaka was right about you Sharai, you are fast!"

I could barely here her chuckle as we ended up closer than we were a few minutes ago.

"Ok, now how far away were we?"

"8 Blocks"

"Ok, now how closer are we?"

I pulled out my phone to verify but I couldn't believe it myself. We were within 10 minutes of Judgement, and barley 5 had passed. I humbly smiled at an out of breath girl holding her legs for warmth.

"Where is Uiharu and her hot hands when you need her?"

25 Minutes Later.

Uiharu's hands thankfully were keeping me toasty. Now as I know were getting closer and my semi-silent treatment was going to end, my mind turned to him inexplicably. Thanks to a quick call to Kuroko earlier I got his stupid tablet back to him without leaving Uiharu's side.

"Oh, there's Judgment."

I now could start to see a line of about 15 heading inside. As much as I wanted to stay mad at Uiharu for literally betraying my trust I'm a woman of my word. As we reached the end of the line I could make out the shadow of Kuroko and Saten on the roof above us.

"Ok you're punishments over."

Uiharu turned and hugged me in tears. "Why did it take so long."

I could hear Kuroko and Saten jump down next to us so I borrowed her hands to frighten off an over eager teleporter.

"Hey Sissy!"

Kuroko screamed the second Uiharus hands which warmed up more than usual landed on her arms. Saten imidatley pulled off her scarf to wrap them up.

"Hey guys, how's it been going the last couple of days."

Saten's words made me chuckle for the first time in nearly a week as we headed inside to begin a hopefully eventful night.

7:14 P.M. Toma Kamijo's Apartment.

"Index, we got less then 8 minutes until the cab shows up. Can you hurry up?"

"Take it easy Toma, I got to get this just right."

"How hard is it to set up a litter box food and water?"

"Not as easy as that, besides I got to give you lady friend careful instructions."

At least Aisa agreed to look in on the place and Sphinx while we're gone. But based on my mood lately it may be well past the time school starts back up. I looked at our bags by the door including the Gekota tablet on the table with a sense of unease. One stop to make before we get to the airport, and if I run into her….I'm dreading even thinking about it.

"Okay I'm ready."

I could see Index fully decked out in a winter version of her outfit. Almost made me wonder what she'll be wearing once we get to Hawaii.

"You sure you want to take that?"

"Toma it's simple enough to convert. Besides, I may end up wanting something in the US Anyway."

My response was about to come out when I could hear the cab outside pulling up. This was about to really begin.

"Index grab your bag, I'll lock up."

I could see Sphinx hop up onto the table and nuzzle Index for a bit while she set the cat back on the bed. I gave it a pet too as Index ran out the door. The room glowed in life and hope until I turned off the light.

"It might be the last time I'll ever see it."

My thoughts carried as I grabbed the bag and the tablet while locking the door. Thankfully I gave Aisa the key to the mailbox as I dropped my spare key inside. Index stood with the cab trunk open patting down her luggage as I easily slid in mine.

"Straight to the airport then." Our driver seemed eager to get going as we both got in.

"Yes, but one stop first." I gave him the address along with a stipend for having to wait. With one nod he seemed willing to assist and pulled out into the evening night. Index stared at the road while I sent out a text on my phone for a meeting. Within 5 minutes I got my answer.

YOU'RE LEAVING?

8:03 P.M. Outside of Judgment.

I hope he shows up soon, I only have a bit until I have to call my parents. My view inside showed a really happening party. Konori and the rest of us really put this together well. Even Kongo was dancing to that "All About That Bass" Song. Somehow this night couldn't be better.

"Sharai…"

Until….I could hear him walk into view and I could tell he seemed out of breath almost like he was expecting something. My thoughts alone were on the whole why is he here now thing, especially given what happened with Sissy.

"Kamijo this is a surprise."

"I guess you can say so."

"Well, what did you're text mean when you said you're leaving. Sissy already told me the details about yours and Index trip to the states."

"Sharai, I may not be coming back at all."

Now my face held a small grimace. "Not coming back?"

He shook his head in solemn remise. "No, I just don't know if I should be in the city anymore."

"Kamijo, just because you had a falling out with Sissy doesn't mean…"

"Mikoto was right about me Kuroko. My dumb hand leaves me at a permeant Level Zero, and I attract trouble wherever I go. Before I came here I even mentioned the same thing to Misaka's mother about her ungrateful brat of a daughter. I'm nothing but a walking broken mirror. Its time she and all you guys moved on without me."

Small tears formed in my eyes. "Toma…" He walked up to and hugged me in shock.

"I want to say thank you, for being my one line of support with all the magicians and science problems this year. Do me a favor and tell her after the ball drops, that way she'll have a better 2015 without me in it. Thank you Kuroko, I'll never forget any of you guys."

Kamijo broke off his hug and ran out of site. I knew that thanks to his Imagine Breaker I couldn't follow him. My urge to want to tell Sissy about what just happened was broken by the shrieking of Jufku saying that I was next for the callback room.

"Good luck Toma."

With that I vanished inside.

Cab 10 Minutes Later.

"Hey Toma, Is Misaka still coming with us?"

My question did manage to make him chuckle a bit as we reached the outskirts of the airport.

"Lets just wait for her in a bit, we got security to deal with first."

I sighed and looked at the planes taking off and going out. We're going on a true vacation soon.

"Lets see if this will be better than the last time.
