a/n: Normally I don't do authors notes before stories, but I guess I should warn the lot of you: THIS STORY CONTAINS YAOI. It is also slightly AU because it's a hodgepodge of characters from different novels. The basics of the plot came from a forum post by shmaster. That is all.

Last Order giggled as she tugged at Accelerators hand, despite the fact that he was limping on a cane. "I met him today Misaka Misaka says as she pulls at your hand, hoping that you're listening." She sang out, and Accelerator grunted as he ignored her giggling.

"Misaka met the first savior of the Misaka Network, Misaka Misaka proudly declares while watching eagerly for your reaction."

Accelerators reaction was to completely freeze up for a moment in the memory of that spiky-haired boy that had faced him twice to help him realize and recognize the path he was taking. "What? Where-"

"Misaka saw him today going to school, Misaka Misaka declares while keenly watching your reaction."

Accelerators teeth ground just thinking about the boy. That stupid idiot!"

"Why are your cheeks turning so red Misaka Misaka worriedly inquires, afraid that a fever may be coming on."

Accelerator barked out automatically, "I DON'T LIKE HIM!"

Dead silence fell and the albino realized he had just shouted this out in the middle of a crowded hallway. With a groan, he covered his face. Last Orders sparkling eyes told him everything he needed to know- he was doomed unless he found a way to distract her.

"Come on you stupid brat. We have to meet with Yomiwaka and see about what we're going to eat today- hopefully not something from rice cookers again." He was getting sick of rice cooker food…

Even if it had been the only thing that had kept him alive while he had been in GROUP. Not a single person could cook in that group, and he ended up using rice cookers to cook. Nobody had dared comment on it, but-

Last Order smirked as she began to secretly plot. It would be a work of a master to get these two together, and she was going to show that she was a master. "Hu, hu, hu," She laughed to herself, as she began to send out messages to the members of the Misaka Network still left in the city.

It had not been a good day for Touma. Running to the grocery store, waiting in line for two hours, getting the special cheap eggs and flour- only to have the eggs break and the flour bag develop a hole, which leaked half of the flour before he noticed.

But even plugging the hole didn't matter in the end, because he ran into BiriBiri.

And the second the crazy female had seen him, she had let off an electrical spark- and he had reacted automatically, bringing his right hand up to block- forgetting that there was a bag in the hand.

The flour had exploded from the electricity (how, Touma had no idea, but knowing his luck… the laws of reality probably bent themselves just to give him more misfortune) and the resulting boom left his hand scorched, and BiriBiri dazed.

He had literally had to run for his life, before Judgment and Anti-skill arrived. All they would find would be a bag of exploded flour and a dazed BiriBiri. And she could take care of herself. He on the other hand had to get back to Index and feed her before she went insane.

He sighed as he opened the door.

Index was sitting in front of the television, like usual, as she absently petted Sphinx. "Touma! I'm hungry!"

"Ya, ya, I hear ya." He blew on his palm, half-heartedly hoping to blow some of the pain away. With a sigh he stepped into the kitchen, and turned on the sink water on cold, allowing the cold water to flow onto his hand, soothing the burn. "Tonight it's going to be something simple."

"What? No way Touma! You promised me that you'd get pork tonight."

Geh! He had, hadn't he? "S-Sorry Index, but a certain BiriBiri middle schooler fried all our flour and completely wasted a weeks worth of allowance. I'm going have to ask dad for more."

Touma looked rather depressed at that thought. He hated asking for money from his parents whom he didn't remember anymore. "To~u~ma."

The fact that Index was breaking his name into syllables suggested to him that he was going have to be careful against being bitten. "You promised me pork."

"B-But Index, we haven't got any money left- ARGHHHHHHHHH!" The cry spiraled up into the air, as the sound of biting echoed loudly.

Touma flailed miserably against Index's chomping, as Sphinx hissed at the two, back arching and tail puffing out. Thus it was neither of the two heard a soft knock at the door.

Outside, Misaka 4242 waited patiently for the spiky-haired youth to answer the door, nervously fidgeting all the while.

Last Order had sent out the command to bring Touma, as soon as possible, to the park where they had first seen the boy. She was here to carry out that order, slightly puzzled, but obedient to the Network Administrators will.

And she further wondered why this had to be done with utmost secrecy.

The door slowly opened to reveal the savior, rubbing at a few bite marks. " Ah! Misaka-san!" A breeze blew by conveniently, showing off polka-dot panties. "Oh, Misaka's Sister! Why are you here?"

"Misaka received an urgent request for you to come to come to the park where you first met one of the Sisters, Misaka relays the information."

"Eeeh? Is something wrong going on?" Even as Touma spoke, he was already groping around for his shoes.

Index sighed as she spotted the clone standing in the doorway and Touma looking for his shoes- it looked like she was going to go hungry for a little while longer. But- Touma wouldn't be Touma if he didn't leap to someone's rescue. She sighed as he left the building without a backwards look. Maybe she'd raid his 'secret' stash of money and go try to buy dinner somewhere.

As the door closed behind the boy, she dived for the hiding place- just mere moments before remembering that she had already raided the stash, and there was no more money.

Touma glanced back at the shop, as he thought he heard a piercing shriek of Index, before the Sister tapped him on the shoulder. "Is something bothering you Misaka inquires worriedly."

"Hmm, no, it's nothing. I just thought I heard something. Guess it was nothing."

Misaka smirked to herself as she let down the electro-barrier that had interfered with sound waves- the watching three Sisters that had helped her out nodded at her thanks, and went to clear the way.

They needed to stop the red-haired man from getting close, as well as a few of the oddly dressed women. Misaka Mikoto, despite being the original, was definitely not allowed to cross paths, and Kuroko was perfect for that. In all, the path to the park was the most danger free that Touma had ever experienced.

The two walked silently and quietly to the park, Touma expecting any minute to be beset by misfortune. After all, with the way the day was going…

Misaka 4242 contemplated life's meaning, before completely and utterly discarding it to send a message to Last Order.

Last Order, from where she was at, grinned, and turned to Accelerator, sitting on a bench and staring up at the sky. "Misaka Misaka just wants you to admit you like Kamijou Touma."

"No." The answer was far too fast to be truth, and a vein was beginning to throb on Accelerators forehead. For three hours he had to put up with Last Orders teasing- and apparently Yomowika knew Kamijou Touma as well.

Touma was well known by Judgment and Anti-Skill for managing to rescue the people before them, and then leaving behind dozens of giggling, in–love girls.

The 'in-love girls' part solidly convinced Accelerator that for him to 'get' the Hero would be absolutely impossible. The chance that the hero would actually even think about an albino as a love interest was completely idiotic anyways…

"But you do! You like him! Admit it!"

Accelerator shot to his feet, back to the entrance as Touma rounded a corner. "FINE! I ADMIT I LIKE KAMIJOU TOUMA! WILL YOU LEAVE ALONE NOW?"

He didn't notice a certain spiky-haired boy stop dead, nor did he know that said boy was rapidly backing up, and he definitely didn't notice the boy running away from said park-

He did notice Last Order's sly grin. "Whatever your planning you'd better forget about it completely. It's not like that Hero would return my feelings anyways- he's surrounded by girls, and one of them is bound to catch his attention."

"Then why hasn't he started dating yet, Misaka Misaka sneakily inquires as she glances in the direction of the park front."

"…You did something, didn't you." It wasn't a question. It was a statement.

Last Order pouted cutely. "Misaka would never do such a thing Misaka Misaka protests her innocence as she hopes her frowning face will derail you from your current thought."

Accelerator took a deep breath, and let it out slowly- and swore loudly. Last Order frowned as he started limping for the dormitories. If Last Order was grinning like that, then he wanted to be out of here- especially if Last Order called for her network to fetch Touma.

Index blinked as Touma came tearing into the room, panting and wheezing. Quickly he shut the door, locked it, and collapsed in front of it, head hanging. "Touma? What happened? A magician attack?"

Touma, wheezing for breath, and brain not quite there, blurted, "I overheard Accelerator say that he liked me."

Index's breath stopped, as her head jerked automatically downwards, bangs hiding her eyes. Touma took a second to go over what he just said- and panicked.

What was Index going to think- what were all of the magicians going to think? Was he going to be fried by Biribiri for consorting with her greatest enemy- was Accelerator even the same person he once was? Touma knew practically nothing about Accelerator, so could he honestly reply to the others feelings?

If it were a manga panel, then Touma had no doubt that steam would be rising from his head. But he didn't live in any such thing, and thereby, as it was, he just had a really bad headache. "I-Index?"

The girl twitched slightly, bangs still hiding her face. He took a deep breath, "What… What do you want to eat? I feel ready to fix anything right now."

The small mouth puckered into a frown, and he flinched backwards.

Silence hung for just a few moments more, before Index looked up with a dazzling smile. "I'm going out."

"Huh?"

Index ran out of the building, not looking back for a moment, as Touma stood behind awkwardly, wondering what on earth the nun was doing.

Stupid Touma. I should've known that he didn't like girls… Plip. I suppose I should go see who this 'Accelerator' person is and see if they're good enough for Touma. Stupid, stupid Touma… Plip, plop.

Index scrubbed at her cheeks and took a deep breath. First things first- she'd visit each and every one of the parks to see if she could spot this Accelerator- whatever he looked like…

She glanced around, and spotted a familiar looking white-haired man that had once upon a time, given her a pack of tissues. Grinning, she ran up to him. "Ah- you're the nice person who gave me the pack of tissues. I don't believe I got your name!"

A tiny girl peeked out from behind him, and his eyebrows rose. "Weren't you the Nun looking for someone named Touma?" He asked callously, not really caring- until he remembered. Touma. Touma Kamijou? No- No way…

Last Order snatched the nun by the hand as she started running in an opposite direction, and Accelerator swore inwardly as he felt the Misaka network draining away from him- the little brat had guessed the same thing as him, and was going to confirm it! If so- if so zalfjdlas

Any comprehensible thought trailed off into gibberish, leaving behind a frustrated level five esper.

Index looked at the small girl pulling her along quickly in curiosity. The small girl stopped in front of a shopping district, before looking up with bright, shining eyes. "Do you know a Touma Kamijou Misaka Misaka inquires hopefully while eagerly awaiting your answer."

"Yes, Touma is the one taking care of me currently- do you know an Accelerator?"

"Yes Misaka Misaka chirrups, punching the air triumphantly! Acclerator is the one taking care of me, Misaka Misaka explains proudly, wanting it to be clear. Although Accelerator may seem rough, he truly is a nice person-"

"Ummm, Touma came home today saying something about Accelerator."

Last Order stared up at the nun with sparkling eyes, urging her to go on. "Misaka Misaka urgently inquires if the savior was disgusted by the idea, not wanting to reveal her plans until told the reaction."

Index shook her head, a sad smile gracing her lips as she said, "Touma didn't reject it out of hand- rather he seems to be trying how best to reply to such a thing."

Last Order punched the air in triumph, laughing. "Are you willing to help the two become a perfect couple? Misaka Misaka inquires hopefully."

Index stared up at the sky, remembering Touma's smile and words- and the words of the Albino that had fed her and given her a pack of tissues to use. Then, she came to her decision.

With a sly grin of her own, the two loli's stared at each other in perfect agreement. "We'll get those two together if it's the last thing we do!"

Elsewhere, a certain albino, and spiky-haired idiot felt a chill go down their spine.
