It was about an hour after Grayfia left and Ichigo and his peerage was in the living room of their house.
"So, what is it that you just had to tell us that you interrupted my reading." Lina said angrily and annoyed at being interrupted while she was studying the spell books left in the house for them.
"I to wonder what you thought was so important that you had to interrupt my reading." Moka said as she glared at Ichigo feeling annoyed as well.
There was then a chuckle from Medaka who was smiling at them along with Mikoto who was next to her and Esdeath glared at Lina and Moka for having an attitude when talking to Ichigo.
"Sorry about that but this is important." Ichigo said as he looked at Lina and Moka in the eyes to show how serious he was.
"If you insist then go ahead and speak." Moka said as she relaxed a little.
Ichigo nodded and said, "First off we are invited to watch a rating game between Riser and Rias." then paused to see if anyone had something to say.
"You mean that game between noble high-ranking devils, right?" Lina said as she remembered reading about it in some of the books, she found left by Sirzechs.
"I wonder what kind of games devils play?" Medaka asked in genuine curiosity.
"Ones that involves having their servants fighting one another." Mikoto said as she gave a deadpan expression towards Medaka.
"Oh, so something to relieve stress." Esdeath said in slight fascination.
Everyone in the peerage looked at her and she couldn't help but ask, "What?"
"Never mind anyways in 10 days after school we are to meet with Sona and watch the game with her." Ichigo said getting back on track.
"Second is that Grayfia is looking for a way for us to help Rias in the rating game, but it is not an absolute." Ichigo continued as he looked at everyone's faces to see if there were any questions.
"Lastly don't forget about your homework, I don't need Sona chewing me out for you guys not completing it." Ichigo said in an annoyed tone.
"Mines already done." Mikoto said nonchalantly.
"Mines done too." Medaka said with a smile.
"Me too." Moka says giving a bland look.
"I as well." Lina also says giving a peace sign at Ichigo.
"Oh, come on am I the only one who hasn't done their homework yet?!" Ichigo shouted in despair.
This made everyone laugh at Ichigo's dispense.
Everyone went to bed as Ichigo stayed up to finish his homework, we then cut to Mikoto who was wearing pink pj's and lying in bed.
"I wonder how everyone else is doing back home without me?" Mikoto said to herself remembering how she became a member of Ichigo's peerage.
Flashback
It was a normal day in Academy City and Mikoto was spending time with her friends. They were currently at their favorite hangout spot Joseph's.
"Guys did you hear about the kaiju fight that happened yesterday?" Mikoto's friend Saten asked in excitement.
"Please if there were kaiju in the city, we would have seen them already." Mikoto's friend and roommate who was a member of the Esper police force in Academy City called Judgment named Kuroko said.
"But wasn't there a bunch of destroyed buildings that appeared overnight." Mikoto's friend who had flowers growing out of her hair and was also a part of Judgment named Uiharu said.
"Haha, weird huh." Mikoto said nervously since the kaiju fight involved her.
"Sissy, you wouldn't have anything to do with the destroyed buildings, would you?" Kuroko asks Mikoto with the nickname she had given her and with a frown on her face.
"What how could you thin-" Mikoto started only to stop as she started seeing double and there was a ringing in her head.
"-isaka!" Saten yells startling Mikoto as the ringing stops and her vision became focused again.
"What?" Mikoto asked confused.
"Are you ok Misaka you spaced out there for a second?" Uiharu asked in concern.
This caused Mikoto to widen her eyes for a split second before closing them and smiling at her friends and saying, "I'm fine I was just thinking about some things that's all."
"Oh, is it about a boy?" Saten said with a wicked grin.
"Wha- no why would you think that?" Mikoto asked as her face turned red.
"Hehe, no reason." Saten said with a knowing grin.
"Anyway, me and Shirai have Judgment duty soon shall we go?" Uiharu asked as she out on her Judgement armband.
"Oh, is it that time already?" Kuroko asked as she checked the time and sighed.
After the four left the restaurant, they went their separate ways and Mikoto decided to have a stroll around town to see what there was to do.
It was a little while later that Mikoto saw what looked like a rip in the sky and a person with orange hair fall out of it hitting the ground about 30 feet away from her and the sky closed up.
"Wha-?" Mikoto was beginning to say but stopped remembering there was someone who fell through the rip in the sky and hit the ground hard a few feet away and decided to take a look to see if they were alright.
When Mikoto got there she saw smoke rising from a crater most likely created from the person who fell. Just then a hand grabbed the edge of the crater and a male who looked like a teen if not older with orange hair came out of it.
He dusted himself off muttering to himself before looking at Mikoto and waved his hand nervously and said, "Hi."
Mikoto turned around and tried to walk off not wanting anything to do with this, but the teen male called out to her asking if she can help him.
Mikoto stopped but not because of the question it was because it happened again her eyes got blurry and there was ringing in her ears but this time there was a huge headache but what she didn't notice was the storm cloud above her head that shot a thunder bolt down on her location next thing she knew she was out cold.
When she woke back up, she was at the hospital and the orange haired guy was sitting next to her.
"Wha- what happened." Mikoto asked as she rubbed her head because she still had a headache.
"Well why you were walking away from me you stopped and grabbed your head next thing I knew a storm cloud appeared above you and lightning struck you and went out like a light and I rushed you to the nearest hospital." the orange haired guy said sounding a bit confused about the situation.
"I-I see thank you..." Mikoto said leaving an unspoken question.
"Ichigo Kurosaki." the orange haired teen said.
"Thank you, Ichigo." Mikoto said laying back down as she still had a headache.
They both were salient for a minute before Mikoto asked Ichigo, "What was that rip in the sky and why were you in it?"
"Um, what was with that storm suddenly appearing and striking you?" Ichigo said trying to change the subject.
"Don't dodge the question!" Mikoto yelled only to grab a hold of her head as the pain in it got worse.
"Hey you ok!" Ichigo asked in panic.
Mikoto could barely hear him as there was ringing in her ears again. It was then that she hears a voice as clear as day through all the ringing and it said, "What are you sitting around for you should destroy this city for all it's done."
"Who said that?!" Mikoto shouted in a panic as she looks around the room only seeing Ichigo.
"Are you ok?" Ichigo asked a little worried.
"Ye-yeah um did you hear anything?" Mikoto asked still panicking.
"No are you hearing things?" Ichigo asked worried sensing something off.
"No! No just thought I heard something that's all." Mikoto said as she tried to place the voice she heard; it was a voice she heard before she knew that.
"Anyway, let's get back to my question what was that rip in the sky and why were you in it." Mikoto said as she narrowed her eyes at Ichigo who chuckled nervously.
"You won't believe me even if I told you." Ichigo said in all seriousness.
"Try me." Mikoto said as she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Fine, the rip in the sky was a rip in space and time and I was in it because I came from a different dimension using that rip in the sky to travel between your dimension and mine." Ichigo said sighing at the end of the long explanation.
Mikoto gave Ichigo a blank stare and said, "You expect me to believe that."
"I told you; you wouldn't believe me." Ichigo said in a bland voice.
Mikoto thought for a moment trying to rationalize Ichigo's claim then a question came to her mind.
"Tell me, if you are from another world then you can show me something from your world that doesn't exist in mine." Mikoto said with a cocky grin.
Ichigo slight glared at her and said, "I don't know your world at all, when I got here a head to rush someone to the hospital." as a vein appeared on his head.
This made Mikoto glare at him in annoyance that was when a doctor that looked like a frog walked in and greeted Mikoto.
"Well, I don't see you in here often." the frog faced doctor said.
"Oh, it's the frog-faced doctor." Mikoto said a little surprised.
"Frog-faced is right." Ichigo muttered.
"Haha anyways there is something we need to talk about, privately." the frog-faced doctor said to Mikoto seriously.
"I'll be in the hall if you need me." Ichigo said as he walked out the door of the room waving his hand in the air as he left.
"What is it that you need to talk to me about?" Mikoto asked the doctor slightly worried.
"There seems to be a foreign energy radiating inside you." the doctor said.
"What does that mean!" Mikoto asked in a panic.
"Whatever this foreign energy is it's messing with your AIM diffusion field in some way, you wouldn't believe how many times you shocked that Ichigo kid when you were unconscious." the doctor said with a sad frown.
"Can you do anything about it." Mikoto ask quietly but desperately.
"Remember when I said the foreign energy was radiating inside of you, well to be precise it's in your brain." the doctor said in sorrow.
"My head." Mikoto said in confusion as she winced in pain as she started to hear ringing again.
The next thing she knew she was in a black void and the mysterious voice she thought she heard before said something to her.
"You know who I am, why I want to destroy Academy City and why I'm with you." the voice said.
Mikoto looked behind her only to herself only with her skin glowing, her eyes looking like sparks, two antennas, her hair floating, and a glowing cloth going around her body. To say the least she looked like one of those fictional alien creatures you would see in books. "Wha-what are you?"
"We are you, your negative thoughts manifest." the other Mikoto said in a monotone voice.
That was when memories started to flow into Mikoto's head, and she remembered what happened during the Daihasei Festival when she was starting to turn into a level 6 and almost destroyed Academy City.
"Calm down Misaka you're in a hospital." the doctor said as he stepped back so he wouldn't get shocked.
Mikoto came back to reality and saw she was using her esper powers and tried to reign them in.
"My esper powers are going off on their own I'm trying to reign theme in but it's not working!" Mikoto shouted in a panic and worry.
"How will I be able to trust myself around my friends." Mikoto thought and started crying realizing she could possibly hurt her friends against her will as she grabbed her head.
Ichigo suddenly burst into the room and walked towards Mikoto and chopped her on the head really hard and yelled, "Stop panicking and tell me what's going on!"
"Wha-What does that have to do with you hitting me!" Mikoto yelled back as she grabbed her head were Ichigo hit her.
"Just tell me what the problem is." Ichigo said nonchalantly as he brushed off the electricity hitting him.
"I-I can't control my esper powers!" Mikoto yelled through tears.
"Anything else!" Ichigo yelled as the electricity was getting stronger forcing Ichigo back.
"There's also a voice in my head telling me to destroy the city!" yelled Mikoto starting to think of the worst-case scenario.
Ichigo blinked at that realizing that it sounded familiar to his hollow.
"Mikoto, don't let the voice in your head take control, it's your power so take it back even if it's by force!" Ichigo yelled as he pushed himself forward and karate chopped Mikoto on the back of the neck knocking her out.
In Mikoto's Head
Mikoto opens her eyes and sees she is back in the black void. She quickly turned around and saw the alien Mikoto remembering what Ichigo said.
Mikoto narrowed her eyes and yelled, "This is my head, my body get out and never come back you aren't me!"
"If you truly feel that way, then make me." the other Mikoto said in a monotone voice raising a hand moving the thing that looked like a cloth towards the real Mikoto.
Mikoto jumped out of the way, and she launched a lightning javelin at her level 5.1 self, who blocked it with the same cloth using a conductor.
Mikoto was then electrocuted by her level 5.1 self, and it hurt her badly then her other self said, "I told you; I am you; I know what you know so it was easy to work around your calculations and natural defense.
Mikoto gritted her teeth as she forced herself up and glared at her other self, "That won't stop me, I will beat you!" she yelled.
Mikoto decided to use her electricity on her nerves and dashed forward at a speed no human could possibly hope to achieve. When she was close to the other Mikoto she shot out another lightning javelin at point blank range.
The other Mikoto swiped the lightning javelin away with the cloth like object only to realize that Mikoto disappeared only to feel a fist hit her on the left side of her face, this of course was followed by a kick to the right side of her ribs making the other Mikoto skid back in the black void.
The other Mikoto looked and saw Mikoto panting as electricity was bouncing off of her.
"I see since you can't hit me from afar you decided to get in close using electricity on your nerves in order to move faster and hit harder then you are actually capable of managing but in the end, you are just going to destroy your own body." the other Mikoto said in a monotone voice as she looked at Mikoto.
"So what, if I destroy my body at least there won't be nothing left for you to take!" Mikoto yelled as she charged back in only this time the other Mikoto side stepped and kneed Mikoto in the stomach.
Mikoto was trying to catch her breath when the other Mikoto grabbed her hair lifting her up and said in a monotone voice, "You are right, I will leave for today, but I will be back when you are fully healed and try to make you see reason to destroy this damn city."
The other Mikoto dropped Mikoto, and the black void broke apart as Mikoto started to lose consciousness again.
Hours Later
When Mikoto woke up she noticed the room was pretty clean and Ichigo was sleeping in the chair next to the bed she looked toward the other direction and saw a window that showed it was night out.
She tried to move her arms to sit herself up and felt a jolt of pain shoot up her arms she looked down and noticed there were bandages covering her arms she could barely move them.
"Wha-what happened?" Mikoto thought in pain as she was still trying to sit up.
That was when a hand was placed on her shoulder and gently pushed her back down on to the bed when she looked, she saw Ichigo looking at her with narrowed eyes and he said, "Lay back down you have electric burns all over your body and have severe nerve damage."
Mikoto was shocked by the news and asked, "How?"
Ichigo contemplated telling her but relented and said, "You did it to yourself."
Mikoto's eyes widen and said, "Did I do it when I was fighting in my dream, but how does that work?!"
Ichigo looked down and asked, "Mikoto you said there was a voice in your head right, did you, fight it?"
Mikoto's eyes widen and asked in a trembling voice, "H-how do you know that."
"Something similar happened to me before." Ichigo admitted.
This caused Mikoto to chuckle and say, "What are the chances."
She then paused and asked, "Do you know how long it will take to fully heal."
Ichigo looked at her solemnly and said," The doctor said your nerves in your body were fried to the point that they can't be fully restored, and the best possible outcome is you having to use a crutch to get around for the rest of your life."
Mikoto's world shattered. "How could this happen to me? No, it was that other me that did this. It messed with my calculations when they we were fighting. It tried to take over my body. It tried to destroy Academy City where my friends live. How am I supposed to go on like this?" Mikoto thought as she started to hyperventilate.
"Mikoto get a hold of yourself!" Ichigo shouted as he grabbed both of her shoulders calming her down a little."
"How am I supposed to calm down when my whole life is ruined because of some voice in my head?" Mikoto said quietly as her eyes started to dull in defeat.
Ichigo looked apprehensive for a moment and said, "I can heal you completely but there is a cost."
Mikoto's eyes regained some light in them but asked, "What do you mean, you said the doctor said I wouldn't be able to walk without a crutch?"
"Well, you know how I said I'm from a different dimension?" Ichigo said rubbing the back of his head.
"Not this again." Mikoto said rolling her eyes.
"Just listen, in my world I was given something called evil pieces, apparently they can reincarnate people even those that have recently died." Ichigo said in all seriousness.
Mikoto gave him a blank stare for a minute before sighing and saying, "Okay let's say you are telling the truth, then tell me the consequences?"
"First you technically become my servant." Ichigo said as he scratched the back of his head.
This got a glare from Mikoto only for Ichigo to continue saying, "When I leave this dimension you would be forced to leave with me."
This shocked Mikoto and she shouted asking "Who's going to make me?!"
"I told you I'm from another dimension, to tell the truth I came to this dimension by complete accident, but I have 13 more days till I'm summoned back to my dimension but not just me but all of my energy as well and the evil pieces are empowered by my energy." Ichigo said as he tightened his fist at the situation Mikoto was in.
"So, if I took an evil piece, I would be given a piece of your energy meaning I will be taken with you along for the ride to your dimension." Mikoto said not knowing what to do, she wanted to believe Ichigo it was her only hope to walk properly again but could she leave her friends, her family.
"I'll give you time like I said I have 13 days left." with that said Ichigo left the room leaving Mikoto to think alone.
One Week Later
It's been a week since Ichigo left and Mikoto still didn't have an answer. It turns out Ichigo was telling the truth about how damaged her body was. Mikoto sighed and tried to relax only for that to be interrupted by the door slamming open and people shouting, "Misaka!" "Sissy!" "Mikoto!"
Mikoto looked and saw three people she knew would eventually find out about her condition and come to see her but there was one she really wasn't expecting "Mama!"
"Mikoto, I heard what happened and came right away." Mikoto's mom Misuzu said in a panic.
"Misaka why didn't you tell us what happened?" Uiharu asked in worry.
"How? Mikoto asked surprised.
"That would be me." Ichigo said as he walked into the room.
"What do you mean it was you?" Mikoto said with a glare.
"I asked the frog faced doctor about your school and family and made some calls." Ichigo said with a shrug.
"Who asked you to do that?" Mikoto asked blandly.
"They are your friends and family they deserve to know." Ichigo said with narrowed eyes.
"Mikoto when were you going to tell me about this?" Misuzu asked with a worried frown.
"Yeah, sissy why did we have to hear about this from this neanderthal." Kiroko asked as she was concerned about Mikoto's health.
"I-I didn't won't you guys to worry." Mikoto said sadly.
"Misaka did you think we wouldn't find out about what happened we're friends Misaka." Saten asked in a sad tone.
"Mikoto you should know that your father is on his way here, he should be here soon." Misuzu said as she gave her daughter a hug.
"Da-daddy's coming but he's so busy!" Mikoto said shocked.
"After he heard what happened to you, he decided that he should pay you a visit." Misuzu said with a small smile.
"Oh, we get to meet Misaka's dad." Saten said to Uiharu
"I know I wonder what he is like?" Uiharu wondered.
A Few Hours Later
It was getting dark and Mikoto's friends had to leave for the day but promised to be back tomorrow, Mikoto's mom stayed by her side and chatted as they waited for her father, as for Ichigo he was off somewhere but Mikoto didn't care that much.
Then Mikoto's dad Tabigake came through the door with a bouquet, a present, and a small sad smile and says, "Hey kiddo how's it going?"
"Daddy." Mikoto said happy to see her dad.
"Hey, got you a gift." Tabigake said as he handed to Mikoto who had a hard time opening it.
"Ah, a limited edition gekota, thanks dad." Mikoto says giving a bright smile.
"I'm glad you like it but there is something we should really talk about." Tabigake said in a serious voice.
"Oh, what's that?" Misuzu asks in confusion.
"It has to do with that Ichigo guy." Tabigake said.
"Don't worry dad I only met him yesterday." Mikoto said while rolling her eyes.
"It's not that it's about him curing you." Tabigake said shocking Misuzu and Mikoto.
"H-he told you?" Mikoto asked still shocked.
"Told you what and what cure I thought she wouldn't be able to walk straight again?" Misuzu ask wondering what this Ichigo could do to cure Mikoto.
"Let me explain." Ichigo said appearing in the doorframe of her hospital room.
Ichigo explained how he could cure her and explained about him being from a different dimension and the price Mikoto would have to pay if she accepted all the while Mikoto lowered her head and balled her fists.
"I-I see, so what do we do honey?" Misuzu asked in a defeated tone.
"It's not up for us to decide, it's up to Mikoto." Tabigake said as he gave his daughter a sad smile.
"Dad." Mikoto said not being able to meet her dad's eyes.
"Just know whatever you decide we will support your decision no matter what it is." Tabigake said with a smile as he placed a hand on top a Mikoto's head.
"He's right dear no matter what your choice, we will always love you." Misuzu said as she went to hug her daughter.
"Mom, dad." Mikoto sobbed as her emotions got the better of her.
Ichigo decided to give them some alone time.
The Next Day
Mikoto's friends showed up and met her father and was told about the situation and all reluctantly agreed that they wanted what was best for their friend and told Mikoto they would be fine with whatever she chose.
In the end Mikoto decide to except Ichigo's offer and Ichigo made Mikoto his pawn. After Mikoto was cured she got a perfect bill of health and left the hospital with her friends, family, and a death-berry.
"Mikoto here take this." Ichigo said handing Mikoto a bag.
"A bag?" Saten asked.
"It looks like a bag but it's a sub-dimensional storage just untie it and put an object in front of it and it will be sucked into the sub dimension in the bag, be sure to pack what you want and spend the rest of the time you have left doing whatever you want." Ichigo said before disappearing.
And Mikoto did just that she even met the boy she had a crush on who was named Touma and, but she still couldn't tell him how she felt but Ichigo showed up out of nowhere shocking both of them only to grab both of their heads and push them together until they kissed each other.
This made both of them blush up a storm and Mikoto zapped Ichigo he disappeared before getting hit. In the end she was thankful as she was able to tell Touma she would be leaving Academy City to live with her parents the same excuse she gave to her school, and the rest was history.
Flashback End
Mikoto woke up to the sound of her alarm and stretched and pressed the snooze button on the alarm clock and looked at the side table that had pictures of her friends, family, and of her and Touma.
