Chapter 0: Prologue

HEY EVERYBODY! Shadow Shuriken here! This is my first fan fic, so I hope you don't mind my inexperience ;P, lol. I've had this idea for the longest time and decided it was time to finally get it off my chest! YAY! Anyways, I know this chapter is really short but please bear in mind that this is only the Prologue (with some late story stuff for you to look forward to ^_^). Please leave a review and PM me if you have some ideas for the story (All ears here! please nothing dumb or crazy like "Touma has XXX with Mikoto and they have kids" 'n stuff like that). Rated T for graphic scenes, deaths, and language.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Toaru. If I did, this would be a manga and not a fanfic.

So, without further ado, I give you the first chapter of END OF THE LINE


Somewhere in school district 23...

Slowed speech, Irregular breathing gone "I... don't think...I'll make it... But...I'm happy...you're with me...in the end...so...cold... and. . . dark. . . . . . cold..."

"Touma? What do you mean 'make it'? What are you talking about? Touma?"

". . .so. . . . . .cold. . ."

"Touma? That's not funny. Answer me Touma!"

"Touma! Don't leave me! Don't leave me here alone! *SOB* Touma... Please don't die... There's so much, so many things, I still need to say to you. *Sniff* Don't die... Touma, answer me."

silence

"No... No, it can't be... No! I wanted to say something! *SOB* I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING TO YOU!...I...l-love...I love you... but...You'll never hear it... Oh Touma, I'm so sorry. *SOB* TOUMAAAAAAA!"


3 Months Ago...

"TOUMAAAA!" The exclamation came from a certain Level 5, who was chasing a certain Level 0 through the streets of Academy City's School District 7.

"Oi, Biribiri! Why should I get zapped for your confession!? I didn't turn you down did I!?" Cried Touma Kamijou while he cursed his luck, or rather his lack thereof.

"Shut up! I did not confess anything! And I am not some bug zapper: my name is MIKOTO MISAKA!" Yelled the Railgun as she threw another 1,000,000 volts of esper power at him.

"OW! WHY ME!? THERE ARE PLENTY OF BETTER LOOKING GUYS IN THE CITY! OUCH! SUCH MISFORTUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNE!"

The lamenting of a certain spiky haired highschool student echoed throughout the City of Science, unawares of the events to come...
