Authors note: Minion here. Finally finished. Sorry it took so long but I had to recover from writers block, being sick and a certain Rose pushing me down the stairs in a laundry hamper….again. Originally, this Ichika was going to have the personality of TK but due to lack of inspiration, I had to change to Shiina. I hope this is a good ending for all of you who wanted to see a more…. violent ending for our Ichika clones. Read, enjoy, and review.

Ichika and Harmonics Two and Four were in the men's bath at the academy, relaxing. Two sighs.

"Thank Tenshi we got everything settled."

Four nods.

"Laura insists on sparring with me every day. Despite my superior strength and speed, she beats me with her skill. Good thing we heal quickly."

Ichika frowns.

"I keep thinking we missed someone."

Four shakes his head.

"We got the harem."

Three peeks in.

"Hey guys. We forgot someone."

"Who?" Four asks.

"Ran Godan just sent us a letter."

...

Dan Gotanda pushes a large box from Ichika into the Gotanda eatery. It is for Ran which made sense since today is her birthday.

"Hey Ran!" Dan calls. "Package for you."

Ran slouches her way down, her red hair messy, and wearing a pink tank top and unzipped denim shorts.

"What is it?" She asks her brother. Dan shrugs.

"It came from Ichika." As soon as Dan mentioned his best friends name, his sister runs up and starts tearing it open. Suddenly, Ichika springs out.

"Happy birthday!" He laughs at the surprised siblings.

"W-what are you doing in a box?" Dan shouts.

"I had Chifuyu-nee mail me so I could escape."

"E-escape?"

Ichika puts on a serious face.

"Yeah. I don't know if you figured it out from my e-mail but the girls in the academy are crazy."

Dan looks over at his sister who appears to have fainted.

"The academy ones aren't the only ones."

...

Ichika Harmonic number five stands over Ran. She seems to have fainted so Ichika carried her to her room while Dan prepared one for him. Ichika smiles. So this is his target. He has to admit, she is cute. He leans down and kisses her, then leans back. Her eyes shoot open.

"Ichika-wha wha-?"

Ichika smiles at her.

"Nee-chan said that, that was the best way to wake a sleeping beauty."

Ichika keeps his smile but inwardly groans.

That was so stupid.

"Eh?"

"So anyway, Happy birthday."

"Oh... Thanks..." She blushes.

"I gotcha something but I left it in my box when I carried you up here."

"Ah." She blushes harder. "She blushes harder. "About that. What I really want is y-."

The door opens and Dan peeks in.

"Hey Ichika. I got your room prepared."

An alarm clock, thrown by Ran, impacts his face. Ichika mentally face-palms again.

This is so stupid.

...

Ran walks down the stairs in a white dress, trying to impress Ichika, though there was something strange about him that she couldn't quite figure out. Still. She blushes as she remembers his soft lips touching hers. Maybe she should just tell him outright.

She walks into the kitchen to see Dan and Ichika. She takes a moment to check out her long time crush. He was currently wearing a what he normally wore when he visited but he had a dark blue scarf for some reason. For some reason. Both have a broom on their fingertips. Dan's is wobbling but Ichika's is pretty much strait up. Ran stares for a few moments before sighing.

"Okay. I give. What are you two doing?"

Ichika smiles his wonderful smile at Ran.

"Testing our concentration."

"...What?"

"Well, Dan and I were reminiscing about middle school and he says I always got distracted to easily. I told him that I had been working on it and he didn't believe me. So now we're balancing these brooms on our fingers to see who has greater concentration."

Ran stays silent for a moment staring at her crush and her idiot brother.

"Are you serious?"

She sends a glare at Dan. He gulps and nods. Ran storms out and the comes back in with a soccer ball. Dan looks extremely nervous while Ichika watches curiously. She lines up her shot and kicks the ball. Ichika just tosses the broom in the air and caught it on the same two fingers like nothing happened. Dan however gets nailed in the face by the ball.

Ichika shrugs.

"Guess that settles it."

He puts the broom to the side.

"So. What do you want to do today?"

...

Ran had the most wonderful day. She spent it with Ichika, shopping, playing soccer, and at the end of the day, they had had a nice dinner with just the two of them. Granted she had tied up her brother and locked him in the closet but still. It was romantic enough for Ran. Something still seems off with Ichika but Ran can't put her finger on it. Oh well. It's not like she is in a hurry to push him away. With that thought, Ran closed her eyes and fell asleep, curling up in her bed.

...

Ran wakes up and walks down stairs with a yawn. She wishes she could go back to sleep. She had dreamed that Ichika had come to visit for her birthday. She walks into the kitchen with another yawn.

"Morning."

"Morning."

Ichika and Dan replied... wait. Ichika?

Ran did a double take and gasps.

"Ichika!"

"Yes?"

"So it wasn't a dream!"

"What?"

The boys say simultaneously.

"Oh nothing. I just didn't know you would be up this early."

Ran laughs, nervously brushing it off.

"Are you feeling alright Ran?" Ichika asks. "Your face is all red."

Ran's face greatly resembles a tomato at this point.

"Ha ha. I'm just a little hot. I need to get a drink of water. Be right back."

She quickly leaves the room. Ichika chuckles and looks at Dan.

"She does know I was just messing with her right?"

Dan face palms.

"Do either of you understand what each other are doing?"

"...Probably not."

...

Ran sighs. The rest of the day wasn't going the way she wanted it to. Mainly because she has to work today. She is happy that yesterday wasn't a dream but she thought Ichika was less dense after that day. Judging by his comment earlier this morning, she is guessing he was still as dense.

She walks out of the kitchen to wait on a new customer. She mentally groans as she sees the boy. He has blond hair in a ponytail and purple eyes. His name is Charles and he recently moved into her class.

Truthfully, Ran hates him. Not only does he make his wealth well known but he proceeded to make a date with every girl in the class, sometimes leaving in the middle of one date, and going off to see another. Now, Ran knew he has his eyes set on her. The one girl in class that treats him like the trash he is.

Ran groans to herself and makes her way over to the scum bag.

"May I take your order?"

The wannabe prince smirks at her.

"I'd like a water and you on a bun."

"Not interested." Ran retorts as she turns to go to the kitchen but a hand grabs her arm.

"Now that's no way to treat prince charming."

Suddenly a speeding object hits Charles in the middle of the forehead, sending him reeling back, letting go of Ran. Ichika stands at the doorway, smirking at his well thrown broom.

"No means no. Didn't your Mommy ever teach you that?"

Ichika walks over and stands next to Ran, defensively.

"Who are you to question me?" The snobby blond retorted, picking himself up.

Ichika smirks and lifts up his arm showing Byakushiki.

"Ichika Orimura."

The boy froze, wide eyed, then he gets up and pushes past Ran and Ichika.

"This isn't over."

He snarls before leaving.

Ichika looks at Ran.

"Are you okay Ran?"

"Y-yes."

She stutters. Ichika smiles at her.

"Good."

He picks up the broom and walks back to the kitchen. Ran feels her heart flutter as she and the rest of the room watch him leave.

...

Ran is walking home from school in the rain. After a long day of school, she was tired. At least Charles didn't try hitting on her, instead sending her glares. Ran smiles as she recalls Ichika's defense of her the previous day. The way that he showed up the blond pervert. Suddenly an arm grabs her and a hand clams over her mouth. She hears a sickly familiar voice.

"Your precious Ichika isn't here for you now."

Ran pales as Charles laughs.

"You shouldn't have resisted. It would have made things a lot easier on you. You might as well enjoy it."

Charles whispers as he breaths into Ran's ear.

"How shallow minded."

A new voice came from above.

Ran and the despicable blond look up to see Ichika standing on the fire escape to the apartment next to them.

"Did you actually think I would let my Ran walk home alone, unprotected."

Ran's heart melts as she hears him call her "his Ran". Charles smirks and takes out a switchblade.

"Take her then. I already know that you can't use your IS without permission and I doubt the government will let you do that."

Ichika's crimson eyes glare into the offending purple ones.

"Guard skill. Hand Sonic."

Ran gasps as a blade forms from light, extending from the Byakushiki watch.

"Version three."

The blade turns into a trident and Ichika jumps down, pinning Charles's neck against the wall, forcing him to release Ran.

"And if I see you touching her again, your name will be changed to Charlotte..."

Ichika groans in his head.

That was so stupid. Maybe they are related... That's just freaky.

"You understand?"

"Y-ye-yes Orimura-sama."

The blond whimpers.

"Good."

The trident dissipates and Charles falls to the ground. Ichika picks Ran up, bridal style, and carries her away, his scarf swishing in the wind.

...

Ran blushes as Ichika carries her down the empty streets. She presses herself against Ichika.

"Thank you for saving me."

Ichika smiles down at her.

"I wouldn't let anything happen to you."

"Is that a promise?"

Ichika leans closer to her and whispers.

"That's a promise."

A slight shiver hits Ran as their lips meet. Ran suddenly feels warm and comfortable in the cold rain as she finally achieves her dream that she chased for so long.

...

Ran smiles to herself as she remembers her first kiss with Ichika. Her brother was shocked when he saw them but quickly got used to the couple. The second victory came when that snob of a classmate of hers came the next day. As soon as Charles had seen her, he looked like he had wet himself. She still laughs just thinking about it.

Ran hums to herself as she goes out to take the orders of a new group that arrived.

"Hello and welcome. May I take your order?"

"Hello Ran. How's it going?"

A familiar voice greets.

Ran freezes at the sight of the group in front of her. There sit no less than five Ichikas, granted some look different, but still, they were undoubtedly Ichika. With each Ichika is a different girl from the academy. Ran twitches.

...

Ichika harmonic number five happily washes his hair in the shower. Ran had just finished after their soccer game that morning and was now getting a head start at work so he decided to shower before joining her. When he first arrived, Ichika had his doubts about how things would work out but after spending half a year living with her, he thought Ran can easily rival an angel. Meanwhile, he could laugh at the original five back at the academy. While he lives in his own paradise, his predecessors have to deal with the chaotic life of the academy.

Ichika shuts off the shower and dries off. Wrapping a towel around his waist he hears Dan's worried voice. Before he could make out what he said, the door flew open and the mentioned boy hit him. Ichika groans as he lifts his head from where he fell and freezes at the sight before him. He immediately crosses out his thought of the angelic Ran and replaced it with the devil's daughter as said girl walks towards him, a dangerous look in her eye. Ichika can almost swear that he sees flames behind her.

"You. Are. A. Clone."

She growls as she walks closer to him. Ichika lets out a gulp and looks for help from Dan, who is currently unconscious, most likely from being used by Ran as a battering ram. Ichika looks back at his girlfriend with a terrified look in his eye.

This is so stupid.

He thinks before a bloodcurdling scream is heard from above the restaurant.
