The Gemstone Girl

Hey everybody, new comer here with a certain fanfiction that you may like or not. Inspired by A Certain Infinite Possibilities and having approval to make a type of spin-off from it. This time though, it's not focusing on the heroes of Academy City though, but on someone else. Namely, Touya Kamijou, the father of one Touma Kamijou. We've seen his adventures, but never wondered what his father did. Well, time to find out what he does.

It had been a complete accident, a total coincidence that Angel Fall has been initiated. Nobody could have foreseen it at all, an event that happened without anybody realizing aside from the certain few. Even then aside from two people, nobody else had the slightest hint of who caused the chaos, not even the man who did it himself.

The man who did it being called Kamijou Touya.

A person who was far from extraordinary, and more of an ordinary man. Unlike a certain son of his, this father had no real redeeming qualities about him. This isn't to say he doesn't have his own good points though.

For the matter, he is actually a traveling businessman in his foreign investment company, under the Securities Exchange Counter Measure Group. A job that allows him to travel around the world, where he tries to stop potential harmful mergers and trading of stocks for his company. Being skilled in many areas due to his job being an elite, capable of doing economics, psychology, and other overlapping disciplines that is required in his job. Plus he knows a bit on Feng shui, the very thing that caused Angel Fall.

How funny that a non-magician such as him had accidentally created such a chaotic event. A good thing nobody knew to. Otherwise more than a few magicians might pay him a visit. One more likely to end in blood that a warning.

Either way, thanks to the efforts of a group called Necessarius, particularly a back stabbing blonde, nobody would know the culprit of the person that caused Angel Fall at all. Allowing the father to continue on with his ordinary life.

A life that would soon change though. Caused by a certain factor the father couldn't even control. And where did it begin, well, in the famed city of science of course.

"..Hmmmm. Where is he?" Currently Touya Kamijou was in Academy City to find his favorite-and only-son, Touma. Having finally gained the time to actually visit him since the end of the Daihasei festival. Wanting to spend some quality family time since he's been so busy.

Unfortunately despite him having the time, he didn't have a clue where his son was. He tried calling Touma only for it to go into voicemail. When that didn't work, the elder Kamijou tried finding a way to locate him by asking for help to find his dorm. The officials of course wouldn't allow it for some strange reason.

Something about trouble happening in the city and had him move along.

"Ugh. Of course the one time I have time off this happens." His son might complain about his own misfortune, but Touya felt that anybody can have it. Like right now. Taking his phone out, Touya tried again only to get no response as usual. Whatever his son was doing must have been important, not that it didn't make the father any happy.

"...Guess I should go home." It was honestly a shame, but he only had a one day pass in this city. Having already spent half the day wasting it trying to find Touma. Looks like he would have to meet him another time. Thus sending a quick message, Touya began moving along ready to go back home.

'I can meet up with Shiina. It'll be nice to be with her after these few weeks.' With his job of a traveling businessman, Touya was constantly on the move. Only staying in certain places ranging from a few days to possibly over a month. Made him feel a bit lonely, but that's why he had travel companions sometimes like his the younger colleague Tanaka.

Plus he had fun times talking to other interesting people, like that guy called Misaka. Ah, good but also terrifying times. He was so glad nobody caught them when the three blew up that plane.

Anywho, Touya shake off those fun times and started heading toward the exit. Until that is his stomach began to growl. Growing a bit flustered, the elder father realized he hadn't eaten much since arriving here.

"Wonder if there's a restaurant around." looking around the advanced city, Touya finally discovered an appropriate place to dine. A place called Joseph's. "May as well."

With a small smile the man went in opening the doors. A fine waitress coming at him already with a menu holding a pen. After giving her his order she left as Touya just sat down and relaxed.

While he was sitting though, he didn't notice a young girl in her late teens staring at him. She has long blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a grey uniform with a white shirt, a red tie with yellow stripes, a V-neck jumper, skirt, long socks and black shoes. The most distinctive feature though was a suitcase she held on her hands.

As she closely watched the man, her eyes then lit up with familiarity.

"Now then, what else can I d-Woah!" Touya was suddenly then assaulted by a blonde blur that grabbed onto him. Surprised, he looked down to see the culprit finding the exact same girl watching him from earlier, who had a smile on her face with slightly red cheeks.

It's you!" She said, gathering some confusion from the grown man.

"Me?" He asked questioningly, the girl just nodding up and down.

"Yes, you. Remember me." Touya took a minute to gaze at her features, having a familiar sense from her. One look at the suitcase though and he suddenly remembered.

"Your-your the Gemstone girl!" The girl simply nodded, happy Touya was able to remember her. "Wow, uh, I haven't seen you in a long while. What happened.?"

"I'm fine." The Gemstone girl responded, finally getting off him and sitting across from him. "It was a bit strange when some people found me, and then took me here."

"Took you here?" It was a long time ago, a few months back really. But during his small time with this girl, he recalled her being chased by a bunch of men. Taking her away with Tanaka and then dropping her off in a safe place. After that though, he never saw her again, until today anyway.

"Yes. After you left, some strange girls that looked alike came and found me. Saying they would protect me and bring me here." The Sisters. The clones of Academy City's number 3. Having been given a mission to find, protect, and bring all targeted Gemstones identified back to Academy City.

Once she was brought here, she had been allowed to stay and join classes. Entering a Certain Middle-High School where she passed on her days like any other student here. Only having to go have some tests to check on her natural powers and other small tasks. It has been nice here, but also strange. Being in a city she's never been in before, and in a way, kinda forced. Still, not everything was bad, and she was glad to meet up with Touya once again.

For Touya himself, while he was still confused with the situation going on here, ultimately he was glad the girl was safe. He had tried checking on her when he escaped from those men and found her gone. He always wondered what happened to her. Now he knew, and was glad things turned out fine.

"Well, I'm just glad your safe." He said making the Gemstone girl smile.

"Order's here." Suddenly the waitress came back with a nice warm meal, setting it down along with a glass of water. Handing him the the utensils, the lady then left saying she'll pick up the plates alter, leaving Touya and the Gemstone girl alone.

Touya glanced at the meal and smiled, then looked at the girl noticing her looking at his meal a bit hungrily. Thinking it over for a second, the elder Kamijou relented and passed her some of the food.

"Go on, have a bit." Nodding, the girl then grabbed a spare utensil and started attacking the food. Only taking enough to satisfy her while Touya ate his own portion. He had to admit, Academy City had some fine meals, not as good as his wife's cooking, but it was alright.

Once he finished a good potion, Touya started becoming curious about something. Mainly, the silver suitcase the girl held. Remembering how she had it handcuffed to her back when they first met. While it was no longer attached to her with the cuff, she still had it.

"Um, excuse me...uhh?"

"My name is Sara Yurino." She said revealing her name at last.

"Right, thanks." Touya had been wondering this since meeting her back all those months ago. "I was wondering, what is your ability."

Back before when those men had been chasing them, the Gemstone known as Sara had used a unique and strange power that released a great noise to push them back. So it must be some form of sound manipulation. Sara chewed her food, wondering if she should say. Eventually deciding there was no harm in telling him.

"My ability, esper power, is known as Sound Distortion. The power to as you may have guessed, manipulate sounds. From affecting the molecules of the sound and having a variety of effects. Amplifying the noise, lessening it to not even a peep and the like."

"Nice." That definitely seemed like a useful ability. The natural born esper even looking a bit proud of it.

"Yep. Thanks to this, I'm able to do certain things. Like here things more clearly, block annoying sounds like honking cars. And while I'm not a high level like the level fives, I'm still a level 3." Touya became more impressed. If he recalled, Touma mentioned the majority of the city was level 0. So this girl definitely had some extra power in her. His phone then vibrated and Touya picked it up.

"Oh."

"Is something wrong?" Sara asked the elder Kamijou.

"Nothing, nothing." Touya reassured putting the phone away. "I just got some interesting news is all." News that stated Touya could stay in Academy City for a good while longer. Even offering a deal of sorts for his company for some reason. Touya would have to look into this later on, but overall found no harm in staying.

"In any case, I'm afraid I will have to go." He said taking out a few bills for the tip. Sara looking a bit down.

"I see." Seeing her mood, Touya decided that maybe he could cheer her up. Not to mention...get a little help. Taking out a small business card, Touya handed it to the Gemstone girl who grabbed it confused. Checking to see the company name and two phone numbers. One for the company itself, and the other being-

"That's my number, just in case.' Touya said as Sara blushed just a little. "I figured that maybe we could catch up and all if you want. Plus...I kinda need a guide around this city. If you don't mind."

"Not at all." Sara said with a bright smile, one that made the elder fluster a bit. Suddenly he felt a chill down his spine. One that usually happened when his wife was around. But she wasn't here...must be his imagination.

"In any case, bye." He said with the girl waving her hand. The father of Touma paying for his meal and soon leaving. Going to the hotel that this strange person sent him.

As for Sara, she just looked at the card and had a bright cheerful look. Glad she could spend time with the man she...had certain feelings for.

'I wonder if he's single?' In any case, Sara would leave the diner quite pleased. Glad she would soon meet the man that helped her once again. Touya Kaijou. This would be fun.

And that's the ending with the first meeting. The Gemstone Girl now dubbed Sara Yurino, hope you like the name. In any case, now Touya has met the first person in Academy City, and it won't be his last. Who will he see next? Only time will tell. Until next time.
