Happy Valentine's Day to all, this marks a full year completion of this fanfiction. So I remembered that I should update it. So I immediately got down to writing while I was traveling in the train, as it was a long journey. (Somehow most of the chapters I wrote were while traveling - maybe I travel a lot)
Ah as for Valentine's Day a slight joke from my side - I got the AD message ((What's the famous colour of Valentine's Day?
A) Red
B) Black
Reply A/B or call toll free on 52XXX0))
I immediately thought what would I get from this as the reward was not mentioned. So I took the liberty of adding in the most appropriate that I could think of (surprising it occurred to me rather quickly).
((Reply A/B or call toll free on 52XXX0, Winner will be rewarded with a Beautiful Girlfriend!))
Now that's how a message should be!...okok I don't know how to make jokes properly. But still I wanted to share this.
ON TO THE COMMENTS SECTION:
Xperior: Um... I tried to comprehend but I didn't get what you're trying to say... I must be lacking in vocabulary.
felixiglesias8: Thanks for the feedback. There are many reasons for grammatical mistakes. One would be a genuine mistake from my part. Second would be when I copy from my writing app to the fanfiction app, there are automatic copying errors...yeah they do occur. Thirdly there is my writing style, I purposefully write in a manner which I like, it may seem wrong to you all but I feel it correct. Eg: I don't put periods at the end of a said statement which end with " or '.
linkjames24: Come on man you should make some too!
0: Eh!?...I don't think so...Well it is perfect situation for a lemon - The situation is perfect, they are living together... But the thing is that I haven't written one before and would be too embarrassed to write one. The thing is I imagine the scene while writing and I am quite often embarrassed myself while writing.
IllusionBreaker: Thanks man, I am slowly but steadily updating the chapters. I write on motivation and whims.
Gamator: I'd say Othinus is Kuudere in public, Deredere when she is with him and Yandere when he is not around.
Without any further delay let's get started.
I don't own the franchise sadly. Obviously I claim no profits from writing this fanfiction but I still write it!
"G... Wake u..."
"Hmm..."
"Wake up Touma" Othinus shoved "You have school today..." She added when he didn't give significant reaction.
"Wha!" Touma suddenly jolted up as he heard that last part.
He wasn't used to this new time-line. Earlier he was suffering from very severe short attendance. He frantically looked towards the clock.
"Good morning" Othinus greeted him.
"I almost forgot that I am not on short attendance anymore. But hey you are up early" Touma relaxed after looking at the clock.
"Oh not at all. A moment ago I was sleeping right beside you hehe" Othinus giggled.
Touma stared stunned while trying to remember anything.
"You seriously love to tease me" He sighed
"The only thing I love is you. I know next time as proof, I will stay there cuddled together with you" Othinus grinned
Touma got ready for school and sat to have breakfast. While Othinus went to take bath. He started watching TV while eating.
"Hmm this tastes good whatever it is. I wonder where she learnt to cook like that" Touma spoke as he enjoyed the unknown recipe.
[...Onto our next report. There is a huge uproar since last night due to a major incident. It is being referred to as the mincemeat murders. They happened in the back alleys of District...]
"What's this?" Touma looked at the TV with curiosity.
[May corpses or rather... a large number of lumps of flesh have been found. Anti-Skill is confirming the number of victims, the samples have been sent for DNA analysis. From the initial report, there are atleast a dozen victims]
The reporter looked uneasy while detailing the incident.
'What is this? Come to think of it if it's in this time-line, could it be Accelerator? But there is a 50% chance it could be something else. I have to look into this. I should talk to everyone at school about this a bit'
"I am out! Hey you haven't eaten yet?" Othinus spoke as she exited the bathroom while wrapped in a towel.
"Ah! Waait isn't this a bit too bold?" Touma looked like he was trying to avert his eyes but he couldn't.
"Well my usual dress shows more skin than this and you seemed to be comfortable in it" Othinus made a solid point.
"Oh so that's why I am able to look at you. Hmm.. hmm... That must be the reason" Touma crossed his arms and nodded for himself.
"You say really strange stuff sometimes. But I like that side of yours" Othinus came a bit closer. "Like what you see? Wanna...see more?" She wispered in his ear.
"Sure why not? I mean I am a normal highschool boy afterall Haha!" Touma repressed his embarrassment and spoke.
'Hah! Take that! Now show me what kind of face you make after you are embarrassed' Touma tried to get back at her.
Othinus looked like she was a bit taken aback. She was blushing with slight hue of pink on her cheeks.
"I was prepared for this from the start. But I didn't expect you to agree so soon. Both my body and soul are yours. I know let's just ditch school today! Come, let's..." Othinus pulled his arms.
"Okay okay I was joking" Touma frantically waved his hands.
"Although I considered this to be a possibility. But I am a bit disappointed. But there is always a next time, all you need is to just say" Othinus held his arms again.
"By the way you sure took a bath early today. Going anywhere?" Touma swiftly changed the topic.
"Well yes, it's a secret. But I tell you one thing, it will make you happy" Othinus smiled mysteriously.
Touma entered his classroom and sat on his seat.
As expected, the classroom was noisy, everyone was talking about the mincemeat murders.
Touma was also pondering about that.
'Oh yeah I forgot to ask Othinus about this world. Why didn't I remember this sooner' He face palmed.
"Hey goodmorning" Fukiyose greeted him.
"Morning" Touma replied
"Are your injuries alright?" She asked with concern.
"Yeah, it was only a scratch and besides I heal pretty fast. I am good as new" Touma bragged
"That's a relief. Thanks for protecting me yesterday. You even got yourself hurt in the process" Fukiyose apologized
"It was nothing. It's only natural for me to fight when one of my friend is in danger" Touma said firmly
Fukiyose gave a warm smile.
"I'm sorry I always thought you weren't doing well. You were not coming to school on time and you had bad grades too. I had thought you were a lazy person. But I didn't knew this side of you. So for my lack of judgement I am sorry" Although Fukiyose meant to apologize, but it looked like many invisible arrows pierced Kamijo.
"Ugh...Most of what you said is true though... I do get bad grades and I am mostly late to the class..." Touma groaned
Fukiyose giggled at this.
"By the way I have been thinking. How often do you get in these kinds of situations? I think I heard the doctor said that you have been at the hospital multiple times before" Fukiyose asked
Touma sweat dropped. "Well stuff like that happens..." Touma slightly turned away his face.
"Touma... you are Touma Kamijo right?" Fukiyose suddenly asked.
"Umm...yes?" Touma spoke unsure how to reply this weird question.
"Back then you seemed like someone different. Different from the Touma Kamijo I knew" Fukiyose said "But you were a lot cooler that time" She blushed a little while saying the last statement.
"Seriously what kind of impression do you have of me?" Touma looked calm on the outside but...
'Wait am I acting different from usual? I was successful able to decieve others after I lost my memories. Am I acting different from the old me? Did I change in all this time?'
"Hey don't you think it's dangerous to do things like that?" Fukiyose asked with a little worriedly.
"It's not my choice that I am dragged into these kinds of situation. But when I see someone in danger, I just can't back down. That's just how I am" Touma answered. 'And I probably always was'
"But isn't there judgement and Anti-Skill to deal with these things?" Fukiyose argued
"We don't know when they will arrive and if they will make it in time or not. So whenever I see someone who is in need I help without any hesitation" Touma said with a stern look "And my luck just keeps dragging me in these situations" He sighed
"Seriously? You just had to complaint about your luck. You just lost a ton of your points on that last line" Fukiyose said in an irritated tone.
"Pfff haha" They both burst out laughing.
"By the way where is Tsuchimikado? I don't see him here. Am I too early?" Touma asked
"No you are just on time. He is absent today. I don't think he will come so late. By the way you heard the news today morning right?" Fukiyose inquired.
"Yeah mincemeat murders right?" Touma remembered
"Who would do something like that? Either way it's not safe to wander around in the city. And considering your 'bad luck', you are bound to be caught up in some trouble. So I'll be accompanying you. Maybe being with me will cancel out your 'bad luck'.." Fukiyose giggled
"I seriously doubt that. Instead you would be dragged into the matter with me. So..." Touma spoke
"Enough with the excuses already do you hate my company so much" She asked him
"No it's nothing like that"
"Then it's decided. Also didn't we had this talk yesterday? I will accompany you. It will be safer for both of us this way" Fukiyose declared
Touma could not argue with that logic.
Just then their homeroom teacher Ms. Tsukiyome Komoe entered the classroom.
"Wow how rare! Kamijo is on time today" She smiled happily on seeing her favourite student.
"Uh..." Kamijo on the other hand groaned.
Everyone laughed while Ms. Komoe quickly took the attendance.
"Now I have something very important to discuss with you all. I am sure most of you have heard about the mincemeat murders. Anti-Skill are currently looking into that matter but since the crime location is near our area. You all should be careful while coming and going to school. Do not wander around too much here and there. Kamijo that includes you" Komoe emphasized on that part. "Also it is advisable if you keep yourselves in groups. We don't have strong espers, but numbers provide great strength"
"See even our teacher says we shouldn't be alone" Fukiyose reinforced her point.
The class started muttering and discussing.
"But staying in groups doesn't mean you can wander around. As from the news it was clear that the victims were in groups too"
"..." The class went silent hearing that.
"Well that's all. Why the long faces? As long as you are cautious, you'll be safe. Don't worry Anti-Skill is looking into the matter, it will be all okay soon" Komoe reassured them. "And enough of all that, I have another big news for you. Today we have a new transfer student joining us"
"Eh? A transfer student?"
"At this time of the year?"
"Could it be this is the situation we get an absolute beauty in our class like it always happens in the manga"
"Seriously I hope it's a beautiful girl"
The class went to its usual antics in no time.
"Hey Kamijo aren't you interested who this new transfer student is?" Fukiyose asked as she saw him looking outside the window lost in thought.
"Yeah yeah" He answered absentmindedly.
The door opened and the transfer student walked in. There was a moment of silence as if a bomb had been dropped and shortly after that there was loud cheering.
"Has heavens truly blessed us! Finally an absolute beauty"
"..." While there were numerous comments flying about in the class, Kamijo just idly looked outside the window deeply immersed in thoughts.
"Wow she is so beautiful, such magnificent face" A boy spoke
"..."
"Such perfect proportions!" Another boy spoke which earned disgusted looks from the girls.
"..."
"I wish I had long hair like that" A girl spoke.
"..."
"Wow a blonde foreign beauty" Another boy spoke.
"..."
"Just look at how she carries herself. It gives the vibes of a princess..no a goddess"
"...?"
"What's with the eye patch though?"
"...! Whhaaa!?" Kamijo quickly spun and stood up to see the 'new transfer student'.
"Hey, did you miss me?" The 'new transfer student' spoke to Kamijo.
"Othinus!? Why are you here?" He asked
"Why? Didn't I said I had a surprise for you that would make you happy"
"..." The whole class went through a long gap of silence.
Both boys and girls had the same expression - of jealousy. But directed at different people.
"Dammit why is it always him!?" A boy cursed.
Boys cursed Kamijo while girls stared at Othinus with blank expressions.
Othinus closed her eye and smiled thinly in annoyance. They didn't recognise it but it was a very dangerous expression.
While as for Touma, he obviously had no idea what was happening.
"So um... Othinus I take it you know Kamijo. What's your relationship with him?" Ms. Komoe asked her.
Touma gulped. He expected her to give 2 kinds of reactions.
1) Hmph a lowly human like you dare to ask me a question? You monkeys would not understand our bond.
2) Well ofcourse didn't he tell you I am his wife.
He feared the second one much more.
"I am..." She looked at Touma who was looking at her anxiously. "You can say I am his childhood friend"
"Oh so that's how it is" Ms. Komoe delightfully clapped her hands while Touma sighed in relief.
"But we are very close to each other and I know about him more than anyone in this world" She quickly added.
As if adding fuel to the fire the cursing started again. While the expression of the girls staring at Othinus visibly changed. However Othinus viewed them as no more than insects whom she can crush anytime.
"I... I see. Eh hehe... Does anyone want to ask any questions?" Ms. Komoe said with a blank expression.
"Me me" A boy raised his hand.
"I don't have any obligation to answer any commoners. The only one I talk to is him" Othinus declared
"Hey Othinus! Sorry it's just that she is really bad at making friends and talking to others. Come on answer his question" Touma apologized on her behalf.
"Very well then since he asked, I will answer. Ask what you want to know"
"Um..." He spoke hesitantly due to the previous turn down. "I was wondering, what's with your eyepatch? Is it some kind of fashion accessory?"
As if there was a major chemical reaction, the atmosphere of the room completely changed.
The temperature dropped dramatically and everyone suddenly felt intense pressure on them.
Everyone froze unable to move even a finger. The boy who had asked the question could literally feel death a few moments away. Every cell in his body screamed at him to run but he couldn't move an inch.
Suddenly then Touma stood up. Othinus looked at him while he mouthed the world 'please' to her.
She closed her eye and the pressure was suddenly gone. But everyone was still stone cold.
"H..how rude! To ask such a thing to a girl!" Ms. Komoe was the first one to come back in her senses. "Apologize"
"S..sorry" The guy timidly apologized.
"Well I had sort of an accident and was advised to wear it for some time. But it's okay now I can take it off anytime" Othinus informed
"I see it's good to hear. So if you and Kamijo know each other, then why don't you sit next to him" Othinus's eyes lit up on this and she quickly went and sat on the seat next to him while Komoe sweat-dropped.
"See didn't I surprise you?" Othinus smiled
"Yeah you certainly did. How did you manage this?" Touma asked
"Hehe did you forget who I am?" A single sentence from Othinus was more than enough for an explanation.
"Hey Kamijo, so since when have you been friends?" Fukiyose asked curiously. She was sitting on the desk just in front of his.
"Well for as long as I can remember. Hehe... Othinus why don't you tell the rest" Touma looked at her with hopeful eyes.
"I have don't have much interest in talking to anyone other than him but since you asked, we have known each other since we were little. Our parents are friends since long time. We played with each other. When Touma got into fight with other kids, I used to comfort him by resting him on my lap. He really loved being in my lap, while I gently caressed his hair" Othinus bragged while Touma was turning red with embarrassment. "When we played house together, he always played the role of an exhausted husband and went straight to sleep in my lap. We even used to take baths..."
"Ok ok that's enough" Touma frantically waved his hands as he stopped her from going any further just at the right time.
"..." Fukiyose stared at him blankly. Like saying I knew you were fallen far but since the beginning?
"Hey don't misunderstand, I was small at that time. It's not like I have a thing for lap-pillows even if they are very soothing. I mean sure every boy dreams of experiencing one at some point of time. Well our heads buried in soft thighs while we rest...pure bliss...Oh wait that didn't come out right! I mean this doesn't mean I want one or anything" Touma defended himself.
"And there is it, another one of his habits. He usually blurts out his preferences like that" Othinus commented
"..." Fukiyose again stared with blank expression.
"Fukiyose?" Touma asked
"Pervert" She said while turning her head away slightly.
The rest school day went with boys trying to talk to Othinus and her mercilessly turning them down.
The school was over and Touma picked up his bag to leave.
"Let's go Touma"
"Let's go Kamijo"
A pair of voices said simultaneously.
They quickly looked at each other.
"What do you mean by that? Touma will be going with me" Othinus demanded
"But he already promised that we'll walk away from school together" Fukiyose informed. "Besides the teacher said to move out in groups for safety"
"I am with him, so there is nothing to worry about safety, you can find someone else to go with" Othinus declared
"But I am already..."
"Stop being so stubborn" Othinus said sternly.
"Now now ladies, how about we all go together?" Touma diffused the situation.
Both of them looked at him with the same glaring expression they had for each other. Touma sweat-dropped.
"Alright if that's what you want, ok let's go" Surprising Othinus agreed to that easily.
"Hmm... Not bad, we should go together" Fukiyose mused
The three of them left the school grounds.
Touma looked at either of them trying to find something that could start a conversation between them. But he couldn't find any.
"So you asked about how I knew Touma, now why don't you tell your story" Othinus suddenly spoke. Although she knew exactly who she was.
"I ...I am his classmate Fukiyose Seriri, I am the class representative, so it is my duty to see if everyone is doing well in the class. Kamijo here wasn't good at studies and didn't come to school on time. I just thought he was a lazy person who needed help..." She stopped for a while. "But recently I have found a new side Touma... Er... Kamijo is a nice person. He helps those in need"
The sudden correction of mistake didn't go unnoticed by Othinus as she raised her eyebrow on that part.
Touma on the other hand was completely oblivious. He was rather happy that his opinion was getting better in the eyes of hus classmate.
"Wow, thanks I am not used to others praising me in front of someone" Touma scratched his cheek.
"Anyways let's go ahead" Othinus said
They all walked together.
"I think that's enough, my dorm is just behind that building" Fukiyose informed
"Really we live close, my dorm is also just a bit farther away" Touma spoke
"Oh really!? Speaking of which where do you live Othinus? Should we escort you?" Fukiyose politely asked her.
"Why there is no need, Touma and I live in the same place" Othinus smiled
"Whhaa!? You L...live together with a girl Kamijo? How indecent!" The public moral committee mind of Fukiyose activated.
"Oh no our dorms are at the same place, they are co-ed" He lied
"Oh so that's how it is" She sighed with relief.
"Even if we were living together. Why does it bother you? You are not his mother and you certainly are not his girlfriend. If anyone can claim that role, it's me!" Othinus declared and suddenly clung to Touma's arm.
"Othinus stop messing with her. Sorry she has a habit of playing around like this" Touma cleared while Othinus pouted.
"I should get going" Fukiyose suddenly said.
"You okay?" Touma asked taken aback by the sudden statement.
"Yeah I'm fine" She smiled
Touma waved goodbye and they went their separate ways.
"You really love to make my life complicated. Honestly when they asked you about our relationship, I thought for a moment you were gonna say lover or wife" Touma spoke on entering their apartment.
"That thought did cross my mind for a second. But I thought I'd be a hassle to deal with those annoying humans later. I know maybe I should have said that I am pregnant with his child" Othinus mused
"Pffff" Touma spat out the water he was drinking and Othinus giggled in response.
"Seriously you... you are looking good in that uniform" Touma spoke as he eyed her in the school dress.
"You sure know how to hit on a lady. Thanks for the complement by the way" Othinus blushed
"Haah! What a long day!" Touma stretched his arms.
"Hmm... okay you must be tired. Go ahead and rest for a while. While I have to go out for some supplies" Othinus informed.
"Ok, be careful" Touma said
"Look who you are talking to...But the way you care about me makes me happy" She leaned forward and kissed his cheek. Before Touma could speak anything, she dashed out and waved.
Touma waved back while holding his cheek.
Meanwhile in a room just a few blocks away from them, a girl was sprawling on her bed.
'You certainly are not his girlfriend. If anyone can claim that role, it's me!' She felt sudden pain in her chest as she remembered those words, just like she had felt when she first heard them.
"What's wrong with me?" She spoke lightly to herself.
The door bell of Touma's apartment rang.
'Must be Othinus' He thought while looking at the clock, it was evening.
"Coming! Welcome home Othinus. Wait! What!?" He opened the door to see Othinus outside however..."Your eye!"
"Yeah I decided I should fix it. Thehe, so do you like my new look?" Othinus smiled
And that's it for this chapter. Sorry it is not very long. The thing is I felt asleep while I was traveling so I couldn't write much. Again I would remind you all that I have fantasized about this situation and many of the points in this fanfiction is based on that dream. Naturally I have a lot planned out the only thing I do is mold it a bit into something a bit different and that is readable, I can exactly write what I dreamt about directly. I hope you will enjoy the future chapters.
This is DEVIL ADITYA...
