A/N: Hello world, this is my first ever fanfiction. Writing is a new hobby that I have been wanting to start for a while now. I was told that fanfiction is a great place to get started. This is my first work, not just fanfiction but writing in general. I don't know 100% what I'm doing. Don't be surprised if there are mistakes in some parts.

Infinite Stratos is a series that I discovered quite a while ago. After a bit, I finally read and completed the light novel recently. I have seen clips from the anime in compilation videos on YouTube, but never seen the anime complete on its own. I genuinely enjoyed the series, but it has its moments that I really disliked. I'm sure it may be that way for all of us who enjoy a series, there is always something to dislike or even possibly hate about it.

The only real thing I disliked about the series is how horribly Ichika got treated by his harem, even his own sister. I always felt so bad for him, for all the abuse, neglect, and cruelty he suffered, because it was over an accident or something out of his control. He never really deserved it (in my opinion) because he was genuinely a polite, kind and caring person who cares for everyone and never wanted to cause harm. I'm sure it's like this for other protagonists in the genre, but Ichika seems to have the worst time out of them, at least in my opinion. I am just always thinking how he has not snapped or gone insane from everything he went through. Never getting angry at them, not even scared. That thought alone got my imagination going crazy. I have read other fanfictions about the same idea and they inspired me to do my own.

Disclaimer: I don't own Infinite Stratos. the characters, the plot (the canon ones) they are owned by Izuru Yumizuru. I'm just a fan of the series, with an imagination that I want to share with the world. So please enjoy the story.


*Prologue*

Finally, it was time for a new school year for the I.S academy. More work, training, activities, events and so much more. For Ichika however, it was more worrying for him. That one reason being his so-called 'friends.' The ones who all have a thing for him. The feelings that they, and everyone thought he was completely clueless about. Even Ichika himself was always a little unsure about the way the girls acted around him. Being all kind, caring and friendly at first, then turning psychotic in an instant.

(A/N: This story is more based on the light novel. Taking place after volume 12, except the events of the volume never happened. I'm sure you know what the events are assuming any of you have read it. If you haven't read the books. I would suggest reading them, as there will be spoilers.

He wondered if it was actually a crush they all had on him, but he has second thoughts every time something happens. That being whenever they get insanely jealous when he simply interacts with any other female students, or getting mixed up in a situation with another girl, that usually being one of them. Most of the time it was just an accident or not even his fault. The moment one of them, if not all of them find out, either right there or soon after. Jumping to conclusions and getting violent. Assaults, insults, threats, even receiving the blame for what happened. Not to mention some occasional attempted murders, for something in the slightest, that was out of his control. The girls even denied how they felt about him, leaving him more confused. If they love him, then why would they hurt him? Not even normal friends would do this, so why them? Was what he thought about a lot, almost everyday to be exact.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Ichika said. Suddenly snapping back to reality.

He was walking to his new dorm room. Tatenashi was going to be his roomate, as he found out earlier today, this wasn't the first time they had stayed together. Back when they first met, she was assigned to be his personal couch to help improve his piloting skills. Was sharing a room really necessary though? He remembered the first night, as it almost ended with him getting killed by his first childhood friend Houki Shinonono. Thank god she was there to save him by summoning her spear at the last second. The few days she was there was just pure fun for her, but not so much for him. Insane teases, That were often sexual one way or the other.

"I need to get these thoughts out of my mind." He groaned. Before looking at the piece of paper in his hand, trying to remember which room he was assigned to.

The harem was also very unhappy about the idea of one of their rivals sharing a room with their prized possession Ichika. It was under order of Chifuyu, so there was nothing they could do, but give him serious warnings, the scariest being from Kanzashi. Who told him to watch what he does to her sister. Ichika never thought she could be that scary, but looks can be deceiving, as the saying went. He suspected she likes him too, which could only lead to more trouble.

Finally getting to his room where he can relax. It wasn't really an exhausting day, but being the only male around this place was mentally tiring and stressful enough. Luckily the girls weren't too bad, aside from the threats and realising that they were all in his class this year, Kanzashi included. They wanted all the representatives in the same class. In Ichika's case however, it only worried him to the end.

He knocked, then entered only to be greeted by the one and only Tatenashi Sarashiki. The student council president, representative of Russia, and pilot of the Mysterious Lady. "Welcome home.~" She said, Smiling kindly, while sitting on her bed. She knew exactly what she was doing and was enjoying it. Since she is now his roommate for real and not just for a couple of days."H-hey Tatenashi." He replied nervously.

"You sure look nervous right now." She said, with a now smug grin.

This only made him more nervous. Not that she herself made him nervous, only what she might have planned that might set the girls off if they saw, or found out. "N-no, I'm just not used to sharing a room, especially with a girl" He replied, while trying to act normal. "But you have before. Houki, Charlotte and including Laura, would more often than not, sneak into your room, even sleep in the same bed on occasions. Then me of course! And we both know I was your favorite~." She says, while giggling. Teasing him a lot was indeed crazy at times, but she was more or so easier then Houki or Charlotte, as they were violent, or insulting at times. "Yeah, I know I have, Just not in a while. And it just feels awkward." He replied, as he yawned, just wanting to rest.

As he walked past her, she leaped off the bed and landed in front of him, since she wasn't done with him yet. Which wasn't what he expected she would do. He dropped his school bag on the floor, landing a little too close to feet, causing him to stumble forward and trip. "WOAH!" He yelled, Falling on top of her, on the floor. His face ended up buried in her breasts. Things could only get worse however. "What Is going on in there!?" Six voices loudly questioned, as the door flew open. Ichika instantly had a river of sweat falling down his face, as he jumped off Tatenashi, but they already saw everything.

"Ichika? I never knew you had such a thing for a womans chest, let alone." Tatenash said, while blushing madly. " N-no It was an accident, you jumped in front of me and-" He was immediately cut off by murderous glares. If looks could kill, he would be dead in a heartbeat. Tatenashi on the other hand was surprised, but not really mad at what happened, which really only seemed to make matters worse.

"ICHIKA YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO MY SISTER YOU MONSTER!" Kanzashi screamed, summoning her weapons, while charging him. Since she did tell him to watch what he did to her sister, It's really no surprise she would be angry. The others joined in soon after. "ICHIKA!" They all screamed closing the distance. "N-NO! Wait!" He Screamed.

"AHHHH'' Ichika stood up in bed, breathing heavily and sweating. Noticing he was in his own bedroom. He looked at the clock. It was 3:30 am in the morning. Heavily sighing in relief, after realizing it was just a nightmare. Falling back on his pillow, staring at the ceiling in the dark. Tears started forming in his eyes, from fear, sadness and even a little anger.

"What am I going to do?" He Said in a quiet, worried voice.


(A/N: I know this is just the prologue, but what do you think? Please let me know by reviewing. As for the future of this story, I don't actually have a full story structure planned out, I technically just started writing it, as I was going along. The idea for this was for Ichika to snap and maybe going insane after everything he went through (but not extremely insane). So, if any of you wonderful readers have any ideas that you want to share that you think could work well, I would love to know. Chapter one should be out in about a month or two, since I want to take my time writing each one, as I believe it will come out better that way. It will be the same for future parts as well. All depending on how long the chapter is, the ideas I have, and how much free time I have to write them, since I have work and a personal life that I have to attend to. Thank you for your time and understanding, as I will be back for next time.
