Electric Princess [Railgun]

Chapter 2: Friday - Chicks from the Tokiwadai dormitory



Wandering in her own thoughts, Mikoto didn't even notice when she arrived at her dormitory. As always, without thinking about it, (and because she had her hands full), she didn't use the card on the door of the electric doorman, but just directly hacked it.

She was barely inside and the worst possible opponent was already rushing to her. "Misaka!" It was a Dormitory manager, a 29-year-old, tall, slender woman in a formal suit, with shoulder-length hair and thin glasses through which her straight hawkish gaze is often not visible. She has a strict nature and zero tolerance for anyone who does not respect the rules, whatever the excuse is. She doesn't hesitate to punish problematic students or anyone, even by physically attacking, like a professional from military on a special commando level. Often showing supernatural strength by contrast being ordinary human. Due to her nature, she is sometimes referred to as the (Tokiwadai Iron Wall), which keeps the morals of young ladies in line. One time she wanted to join Anti-skill, but an incident occurred during entry test and she refused to eat her pride. So she decided to protecting something smaller that city, like this dormitory.

(One of the rules on dormitory, is to not using esper ability.)

.

Despite her titles like Tokiwadai Ace, Railgun, or #3, Mikoto got goosebumps every time this woman sneak at her and spoke with that hawk glare. Even now, she was immediately like a frightened doe that saw a snarling wolf. "Oh no, the curfew…" She said in a weak voice, completely forgetting about the time. Just as she and Kuroko had been trying to be as exemplary student's as possible all week to avoid any possible punishment.

The dorm manager, without the slightest hesitation, opened the top box from Railgun package pagoda. After an optical scan of the content, stricter than a police drug raid, she closed the box, straightening her glasses to hide the disgruntled look in her eyes. "What's going on Misaka? You and Shirai are behaving suspiciously exemplary together. You two even showing a positive interest in the upcoming event. And yet..." She paused dramatically, making Mikoto take a step back from her. "The first thing that comes out of you mouth when I call onto you, is: (the curfew…) You know that you still have some time left until the time limit, right? Or, are you so used to breaking the curfew behind my back?, that it's already natural for you, to expect the reason why I approached you?" Unable to answer, Mikoto just averted her embarrassed look, giving an awkward laugh. The manager watched her for a moment, her eyes still hidden behind her glasses, until she simple turned away from her and started to walk. "Anyway, as I know the two of you: The more you try to be exemplary students, the bigger the misstep you'll make later. Good luck in your endeavors and no blunders."

.

Without further delay, Mikoto went to her room. (("Suspicious... What did she trying to tell? What did she mean? A warning?")) She didn't understand for a moment before it dawned on her. (("This is not good. The woman will probably do anything to find a reason for our punishment. Maybe it's because she hasn't given us any for a while?")) A cold sweat appear on her cheek. (("She dint have a withdraw symptoms, don't she?)) Finally arriving at her room 208, she called her roommate. "Kuroko?"

A short yelp of a girl came from the bathroom, followed by panic and the clear sounds of movement in the small room, drawing Mikoto's gaze straight to the frosty milky glass door to the bathroom. Shirai reply in embarrassment. "Sissy??? Wha- What a surprise, that you c- came home on time. Uhm, welcome home. Uhm, I'm in the bathroom and... forgive me for not welcoming you right away, but... if you'd like to join me, then..."

.

Railgun at that moment think that she caught her on something pervy, so she had any interest to get involved. "Not a chance! Take your time there, I want to arrange something quick. What are you so embarrassed about? Did you have a hard day?"

"Eh? Oh dear. How to describe it? In short, something happened that one does not experience every day."

.

"Ugh. Tell me that. I have a few boxes here. So please don't open them. OK?"

"S- sure, Sissy." There was movement from the bathroom again, and muffled words that couldn't be understood, as if Kuroko was muttering something under her breath.

.

"What's going on? Are you on phone? You're acting kind of weird." Mikoto stared at the milk glass with a serious look as if she was expecting a familiar silhouette to appear behind them determined to pounce on her, in flash teleporting out of the bathroom.

But the redhead dint come out. "Really? That's weird, maybe it's because most of the time our places are reversed. But otherwise, there is nothing worth talking about."

.

"Really?" At first she just put her hand on her hip, then her eyes widen open in realization. "Ouch. Did you get it? The blood moon?" Meaning the monthly female debuff.

That mention flustered Shirai. "What? Oh... ooh-ho-ho-ho." She tried to imitate the laughter of high-born ladies, but it sounded too much acted in her presentation. "My Dear Sissy, you don't have to worry about that yet. Whoever I would also like to ask you something. Weren't you in a nearby underground mall by any chance?"

.

Misaka was caught of guard, surprised by that question. "Eh? Why do you ask?"

"We received a report that there was a disturbance going on there."

.

"What do you mean?" As her look got a more serious, she know she need to watch her words against this detective. "You don't suspect me of something? Or are you?"

"Sissy, your speech alone is betraying you." Shirai went into her teaching mode, ignoring Misaka's objection. "With such a demeanor, everyone would immediately think that you have something to do with it. Moreover: How many times do I have to tell you to be careful?"

.

"W- what are you talking about? I was shopping. Yes. S-h-o-p-i-n-g."

"Of course, Sissy. So what's in those boxes?"

.

"Just some cakes deserts and one other... thing. Why are you questioning me anyway?"

"Oh, my... Did you bought again, some tacky childhood accessory? When will you develop some more mature taste, suitable for a lady, Sissy?"

.

"Hey, don't you dare to look into the boxes, and you're not going to pry into anything under any circumstances, is that clear to you? As I know you, the moment I will not watching you will investigating it with AIM Spectrometer in hand."

"As you wish, but as long as you eat so much sweet, You will become fat."

.

"What are you talking about?! That's not for me. It will all go to the hospital."

"What??!" Shirai screamed incomprehension. "I don't understand this. Since when did Sissy become a Samaritan?"

.

"S-shut up! Once in a while I can be a generous too."

"Suspicious. Very suspicious. Who is it for?"

.

"Leave me alone! I bought it when we met in the mall, but we split up. I know she is staying in the hospital."

"Oooo-ho-ho-ho How nice of you. Maybe I should go there with you, say hello to HER."

.

"That is not necessary. Don't bother at all. You will again make it weird."

"Sissy, are you..." Her voice shake with a hint of lamentation. "Are you cheating on me?"

.

"You're fantasizing again! Come back to reality! First of all, there is nothing like that between us!"

"Then why is she so important to you??"

.

"Come on... They're like my little sisters. Oh you. You're just needlessly driving me mad again. Why did I come here at all?"

"Sissy, you again flying in something! And is it something you don't wanna to tell me, thinking that you can handle everything by yourself."

.

Railgun sighed well know that she cant tell her roommate, who will definitely overreact. "Don't worry. Nothing's going on this time. I think... Just stay in the bathroom and don't go out! I'm going to carry away these boxes right now. Also, I'm pretty sure they'll make through the content in a single sitting." She took them in her hands and was about to leave the room. She was already reaching for the handle to the door to hallway, when the bathroom door opened. Railgun went into a defensive stance, ready to electrify Shirai for her sneak-attack attempt. But froze completely instead.

Instead of a happy redhead with a flat chest, it was her soapy, emotionless mirror image with wisps/clouds of creamy foam all over her body, who ran out of the bathroom toward her. The clone took all the boxes from stunned original hands and then she ran back to the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

.

"..." Misaka's brain began to work at full speed, trying to process what had just happened. (("Just calm down! Just calm down! There's definitely a rational explanation for this, which starts with the moment I separated from my sister in that mall. Kuroko must have appeared in the meantime, and since she came there on business... seeing my Imoto... she must have mistaken her for me and arbitrarily think again that I am acting out again. She undertake a (grab and run) in order to escape a bad points for us.

Then she had to make an extra quick dash to the dormitory to minimize suspicion. At the same time, she was grinding her lessons, thanks to which Inoue couldn't even say a word, that Kuroko didn't tear up as excuses.

The dormitory must have been something new for my sister, so for a moment she started pretending to be me, so that she could examine our room in detail. Rummaging through my things, trying on my clothes, reading my emails, playing with my teddy bear."))

Mikoto imagined her meter tall 'Kill-Bear' teddy bear (hidden under her bed) and immediately shook the idea out of her head.

(("The sisters have a personality that can only be described as EMO, so I don't have to worry about that. More important question is: How they got into the same bathroom together? Kuroko had to interpret her emotionless expression as (me sulking) and so she blab out one of her suggestions for which I would have sent her to the ground. Since my sister apparently does not know, that Kuroko is a lesbian nymph, she accepted the offer to have her back washed. However... how long will it take for that pervert switch to flip into annoying pervert mode? Kuroko yelped when I arrived to the room... then, she already..."))

Mikoto face caught a dark expression and an electric discharge escaped from her temple. "I'll probably electro-shake her up a lot. ... Both of them."

.

A fire of determination burned in Railgun eyes. She took a brisk step towards the bathroom. She was already reaching for the doorknob, when there was a click. The bathroom door just got locked from the inside. Silhouette of Kuroko figure (her back), leaned back against the frosted-milk glass door of the bathroom. Misaka quickly recovered and put on a fake smile. "Hey Kuroko, I think I forgot something in the bathroom, let me in."

She spoke with clear panic in her voice, that she was possibly trying to hide behind a pretended smile. "W- what a wonderful coincidence, I've always wanted to hear these words from you when I'm inside, but it's not going to happen right now."

.

"Oh commoon, it will only be just for a moment. I promise."

These words caused a worried gasp on the other side. "I- I can imagine that quite vividly. But Sissy, didn't you want to go somewhere?"

.

"Looks like I don't have to go anywhere." Railgun tried to use her electromagnetism on the lock mechanism, but her efforts were thwarted by the iron grip of Kuroko fingers on the lock handle. If Mikoto pour a more power into her effort, she could have rolled the door straight out, or directly rammed them out of hinges.

"Ara-ra-ra-ra." Kuroko tried a naive cute laugh. "Sissy, aren't you trying to cheat a little now. You haven't forgotten the rule that entering this room without the permission of the person in it, is inadmissible. You don't want to tell me that it should only apply to me, while you can break the rule as you like, or am I wrong?" Misaka's disgruntled clicking of her tongue. Shirai must felt that the electromagnetism pressure on the lock fade away and that give her a bit of courage. "Besides, I think the children at the hospital would be disappointed if you didn't come to see them."

.

"Oooooh?" Ace of Tokiwadai drew that word dangerously cold, slightly sparkling from her temples. "Normally that would be true, but what will goes to the hospital, is on the other side of this door. So don't resist and finally open it!"

That line was capable to rise a body hairs and Kuroko swallowed so loudly that she could definitely be heard on the other side of the door. "Indeed, normally I would submit to you, leave my body to your tenderness... But, your electrifying enthusiasm can be heard all the way over here. That's why, I have to ask you not to try to break into my bathroom. See? ...even I don't believe myself, that it was me, who uttered this sentence." The answer was a vigorous banging on the door frame, so she hastily continued. "Sissy, please understand my view of the given situation: I mean that clearly-- something seemed to you."

.

"Nice try, but I'm pretty sure what's going on here. You pervert!" She tried to magnetize the lock again, this time gently and stealthily, but Kuroko fingers were still firmly in place.

"R- really? I, on the other hand, heard that an unknown gas with hallucinatory property effects was used in the underground mall. You must have been exposed to it and now you suffer from a delusion."

.

"Aren't you the one having the hallucinations? So open the door! I can take a good look inside and proceed straight to the fair procedure."

"Interesting comparison. However... if I were to have any hallucinations, it would be pretty clear what they were about, wouldn't it? However, you- you don't have to be so jealous, my devotion to you body, soul, and emotions is unquestionable. Please don't confuse the love between us, with the love of the family, where there is always room for the next addition, Sissy."

.

"It's pretty clear to me from what she's been doing here, that you've been suffering from the effects of that unknown gas ever since you forced yourself into this room. You PERVERT!!" Mikoto raised her voice so much that she almost screamed, letting out a good amount of discharges and sparks whose blue light could certainly be seen even in the bathroom. Then, she sighed in defeat, hanging her head down and leaning her hands against the frosted milk glass of the door. You could almost say that they were able to feel each other's touch and the tension between them through the glass. (("Annoying! But she is stubbornly persistent to be fooled. Sure I can use a brute force to get inside, but I don't want to hear a single word of reminder later because of it. And she will clearly don't stop her mount about it, if I do it. I probably won't be able to fool her that easily. I have to try another way. Hmmm. I fishing a two sleek fishes here, so what shall I use on the other that she will bite on?")) Relieved, she got up from the glass panel and looked around their room.

Funny to say, from reading the redhead silhouette, the person on other side registered the withdraw of the hunter from the gate.

.

Railgun didn't notice in room anything out of the ordinary, so she approached the refrigerator with a thoughtful expression. After opening it, a mischievous smile appeared on her face, when she noticed a familiar box-case in her bowels. Taking it out and placing that box on the coffee table between their beds, she also sat comfortably on her bed like a lady with her arms and legs crossed. With her eyes closed, she rested for a moment. She must get herself into a role of the gluttonous gourmand as a preparation to lure out the bathroom fish. She started loud enough for the bathroom occupants to clearly hear her. "I guess you're right Kuroko. Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, so please forgive me." She sighed. "Hey Kuroko…" She called out to her. "From the refrigerator, I have one more box-case in front of me, full of beautiful and most of all deliciously tasty chickens. Come to take it!"

"I'm sorry, but I have to decline. Right now…" Suddenly she bark, that broke her pretence: "What?!!" There was movement, footsteps and muffled words, like whispers, coming from the bathroom.

.

Mikoto smirked and it took her a few seconds to go back to her innocent gluttonous lady role. "But they look so defenseless."

Shirai countered urgently and we could tell from her voice that she was struggling with something. "Oh, Sissy. If you eat so many sweets, you'll get fat! Think about yours body lines!"

.

"As you wish, more for me. ♫" Railgun intoned melodically, almost singing, to hint at how much she was enjoying the food. "I'm staring with them right now. I'm going to taste them all. ♫" The rustling from the bathroom stopped, so she give that door a short strict glare. (("Hmm? No reaction? So I have to make to level up my game.")) To sound more like a gourmet who was too deep enjoying them she added in a sweet voice, hardly sounding like a reserved lady. "Hmmm... ♥ They are so delicious. ♥ So... delicious... Hmmm. ♥ A delicacy. None of them will escape." Her efforts were still without effect, so she decided for a heavy caliber. "Oh!! Where did you decided to go?" She acted pleasantly surprised. "Vain effort, you won't escape me and the rest of you shall give up now and go back to the box!"

From the bathroom came a crash, muffled words of admonishment, and Shirai hysterical scream. "Don't fall for it!!! It's an obvious trap! A trap!! Sissy just role-playing and trying to lure you out like a hunter she is. Running in there right now is like running into the arms of a hungry wild beast."

.

Unsatisfied #3 silently clicked her tongue. (("Tcs, this didn't work and I tried so hard. Or?...")) She stated unsatisfied, but with half an eye she glancing at the door to the bathroom from which sounds indicating a struggle, were coming. (("I guess it's time to eat my pride and practice my acting skills directly on my roommate. Have a good time my dear Kuroko, because little tearful Mikoto chan is about to enter the scene.")) It only took a few seconds for a tears to form at the corners of her eyes and sobs entered her voice tone. "I didn't want that. I really didn't want that. *sob* I feel so lonely. Kuroko thinks I've found a replacement for her and now there's no one to hug me. *sob* Oh Kuroko, please. *sob* I want to feel the warmth of your arms."

There was a soft rhythmic pounding coming from the bathroom. It was Kuroko banging her head against the door frame, panting, as she tried to resist the temptation.

.

(("It's time for the finale.")) Our tearful actress got out of bed to give herself more room for her gestures. "Oh Kuroko, why are you so mean to me? *sob* I'll probably run outside and throw myself into the arms of the first person I meet on the street. *sob* Oh, cruel fate, I'll going out to meet you in halfway." She took two noisy steps toward the hallway door.

That was enough to bring Shirai to tears and to her limit. "NOOO!! DON'T GO Sissy!" Her silhouette leaned fully against the milk glass pane in front and it was clearly visible how she dropped to her knees. "My heart tells me yes, but my mind says no. *sob* It's tearing me apart from the inside."

.

Mikoto's voice, attitude and expression changed into the role of a saint, a nun with an eternally warm smile and open arms. "Kuroko... Stop hiding from the inevitable and take responsibility. Kuroko, come out!"

The redhead agreed with her with a short huff. She stood up and was already reaching for the lock... when she unexpectedly received a strong slap on the cheek from Inoue, which was so strong that it could be heard on the other side of the door.

"Objection!! Inoue allows herself to intervene herself into this situation. The moment Kuroko-san opens the door and interrupts the operation of this mysteriously powerful barrier: Big sister will drops her mask of pretense, explode, and fully unleashes her cruelty on the potential prey. Especially when she already build up that cruelty tension for some time. Inoue must prevent disturbing this barrier in order to fight in another day. So she offer a different solution when we wait for a few hours, until Onee-sama cools down. Or, gets bored enough to go looking for another prey. Or another subject to whom she would give her attention, who figures as one of her upcoming victims of brute electrocuting. Inoue adds with fear on her face because she knows that big sister will won't hold back twice just because her Imoto is standing next Kuroko-san. Inoue ends her analysis firmly defending the plan to don't leave the sanctuary when a hunter is lurking outside the gate."

.

Both residents of room 208 mysteriously held their breath as they paid full attention to that analysis. Only Mikoto coughed when she ran out of air at the end, collapsing down onto all fours limbs into defeated gesture. It took a while for her to catch her breath. With a grunt, she stood up again. "Oh, so much effort… And for what? For nothing. I make a fool from myself! I let myself get really fired up again, got bamboozled and finished exhausted in one round." She sighed deeply. "You two just stay there and do whatever you want. I'm going to go for a walk and focus my attention on something else while letting off a bunch of hot steam, enough for a sauna." She strode briskly to the door and before pulling the handle, she looked around to the box lying on the coffee table. She gave it a stern look, until she barked in that direction. "Alright. So little ones!! No more delays! Line up and march to the entrance! We're leaving!"

At the sound of pulling the handle of the door to the dormitory corridor, the door to the bathroom also flew open. Inoue dashed out of them. Kuroko pirouetted behind her, getting into this dance move as Misaka sister whizzed past her and practically pulled her out of the sanctuary. That dance move send a soap foam chunks in every direction as they leaved the dancer body. Behind them, a good cubic meter of dense snow foam that washed out of the bathroom, flooding part of the room with a foam. At the same time, the view of the foam hills in that small room begs for question to be asked: (How did they get into that scene setting?)

But that didn't happen. Inoue hastily and in panic, searched the room from corner to corner, shedding clumps of thick foam here and there. "Chip, chip, chip, chicks where are you? Misaka Inoue will protect you from the cruel older sister." She peered into the shelves, under the tables and beds, ignoring the still closed box on the table. Only when she was at a loss, did she turn towards the confused Mikoto who stood there petrified with her mouth wide open. "Onee-sama, where did the rest of the chicks go, that big sister was talking about earlier? Misaka asks with concern for the lives of the survivors of colony one. While looking at big sister with the pleading look of a gentle damsel in distress, hoping for her to come to her senses."

.

Mikoto couldn't even get a single word out. (("She still on that nonsense!??")) That last effort gig with the march of chicks was just to mentally let off some steam. She didn't even imagine that it could get her sister out of her imaginary foam bunker. Already forgetting about her revenge she pointed her finger at said box still leaning on the table.

The clone looked at the object and then at her original in horror. "Big sister… how could she… kill them all." Inoue released the charge into the air. However, Mikoto strongly gesticulated to deny her participation in the genocide of the mentioned little ones. It was only now that Inoue noticed that the door leading outside of room was open. "Oh? Is it possible that the surviving chicks managed to take advantage of a moment of inattention and are already making their way to freedom on their own? Misaka must immediately catch up with them and support their life journey."

.

As soon as Inoue ran toward the door, her original slammed then shut, blocking her path and even grabbing her right shoulder tightly and perhaps painfully, pushing her almost into the middle of the room. "Wake up at last! They're just desserts and they're still in that box! The whole romantic thing about them being alive and moving was a funny at start. But in reality, it is a pure invention by that bunch of hooligans down in the passage mall, trying to amuse themselves on our account! From the beginning, they lied to us! They lied to you! So calm down already! How else can I explain it to you? They used they esper power to make them look like that!" This convention properly impressed the little sister, who stopped resisting. Who knows if it was through the memory of the last such move with her arm that make her surrender, when Mikoto was trying to find the secret 'about that experiment'. Anyway, this silence was only broken when Mikoto realized that Kuroko was muttering something under her breath.

("Moe!... Moe!... Moe!... Moe!...") Shirai had been silently repeating this word over and over for some time, blood dripping from her nose as she watched this pair bewitchingly. Only then she realized that she was being watched did she leave her position as a spectator. "No worries Sissy, I'll take care of Inoue." She teleported right over to them to wrap herself around Inoue's left arm. "I will protect her and teach her everything I know." She spoke with a high and dignified spirit in expression and tone. But second by second her high morals and dignity were leaving her and being replaced by depravity and seduction. She was even starting to drool and laugh degenerate.

.

Mikoto immediately came to her senses again in fashion: (I'm the older sister and I have to protect the younger sister.) "And we're home again, you walking obscenity. Don't you dare to do anything to my Imoto! Forget whatever you had in mind, immediately!!" She raised her voice and wrapped herself around Inoue's right arm, pulling on her sister bicep, pulling her close to herself, partially out of red-hair grip.

But that demand hardly work on Shirai. "Oh my, Sissy. I really don't deserve so much distrust." She countered oldest from them with the same raised voice in fashion: (the wealthy lady in heat). "First of all, our undying love for each other is immortal. So your jealousy of your own twin, that she will be able to steal me from you, is quite unwarranted."

.

And the argue was back in game. "Stop fantasizing!! What kind of jealousy is this?! I'm not jealous at all!!"

"Secondly, when I'm done with her, she'll be a real lady in no time, worthy of your sister's position, I can guarantee you that."

.

"You can't even guarantee scout camp training for elementary students. Since when does a pervert, like you, even know how to say the word lady? I won't let you do anything like that!"

"Oh my Sissy, but you already gave us your permission. Don't you remembering it? Moreover, for the third time: Isn't it better to leave the reforming of troubled Misaka to someone who already has considerable experience in this direction? I am more suitable for the teaching than older sister of troubled Misaka herself. I am right, Sissy?" And she pulled Inoue to her side.

"WHAT did you say?!!... You scamy little one..." A vein of blood swelled on Railgun forehead.

.

To an already turbulent situation. In which Mikoto and Kuroko fight over a naked Inoue. (Chunks of snow fluffy foamseverywhere.) There was a loud slamming of the hallway door as they were opened from outside.

The angry manager of their dormitory rushed into the room. She called out to the whole room with her hawkish gaze. "PIPE DOWN!!! [Shut up!] A week really can't go without some of your missteps?! This is a dormitory, not a playground!! If you're so full of energy, to be in such need to burn it out: I expect the two of you to actively participate in tomorrow's event!! I don't mean something behind the scenes like operating a food stand, but something right in the front stage, where the visitors will see you. Until then, go outside and let off steam!! You have my permission to overstep the curfew!! That way, I can expect from you a flawless performance tomorrow." Without waiting for their answer, the dorm manager disappeared as quickly as she came, slamming the door furiously behind her.

From the corridor could only be heard the clatter of certain women's shoes with dense hell, as they moved away from them in a furious temper.

.

First one to react was the redhead. "So much for our plan to relax in backstage." Sighed Kuroko, who was the first to recover from the shock caused by the direct hurricane visit of the dorm manager, after which Mikoto also sighed. Inoue was still between them watching them intently with her stony expression.

Immediately, however, certain high-heeled footsteps could be heard to get loudly, hurrying closer. (The dorm manager was returning.)

.

A chill ran down the redhead's spine. "That's bad!" She hurriedly commanded in a whisper: ("Sissy, let her go, quickly!") As suddenly as that happened, Inoue was teleported to the bathroom.

A split of a second later, the door to their room slammed open for the second time. The hawkish look of the dorm manager did not bode well. That woman examined the duo carefully. She quickly looked around the room, (Covered by a chunks of snowy foam, there, over-there and up there.) and without a single word withdraw, slamming the door behind her again. Her angry footsteps could even be heard walking away down the hall. Both girls exhaled tiredly. [PS: Due to the angle, the entrance door opens, if you dint walk into the room, it is not possible to see into the bathroom from the entrance, even if the door to it is open.]

.

However, it was not time to relax; the angry footsteps began to approach again.

Both girls turned pale and Shirai body hairs stood up. ("Sissy, hide, quickly!")

Before Misaka could reply, Kuroko teleported her out the window, where she immediately hid out of sight, ignoring the fact that they were on the second floor. Like a spider she used her powers to stick onto the wall, only using her ear and radar to spy onto the room.

The door flew open for the third time. The dorm manager burst into the room and stopped in front of Kuroko. The girl was immediately covered by sweat. Hawk eyed woman was leaning towards her, their faces were not even ten centimeters apart. As if she wanted to tear the red-hair to pieces with her gaze. "You two must be thinking how smart you are, aren't you?! I am Right?!!... I- am- Ri~ight?!!"

.

A drop of cold sweat ran down Shirai cheek as she stood in perfect attention pose with closed eyes and a forced smile. "W- what are you talking about Madam dorm manager?"

"I don't know how you did it, but you will not escape the punishment."

.

"P- please calm down. Didn't you just give us one punishment? For what occasion is the other one for? And on such short notice?"

"Using abilities in the dormitory is forbidden!!!" With a single martial-arts-fighter grab, she knocked Kuroko to the ground. She looked around the room and headed for the bathroom. Ignoring the thick snow soap foam she stepped into it with vigor. "Your turn!!..." [*slap*] There was a loud slap from the bathroom. The administrator received such a strong slap across the cheek that she got a shock that completely stopped her.

"It's against the rules to enter this room without the permission of the person in it. Misaka complains about a person who enforces the rules, but doesn't respect the rule herself."

.

The manager was completely taken aback, she wanted to gather her strength, but Misaka walked up to her, caressing her with her emotionless gaze. This time Hawk-eye couldn't take it anymore and make step back. She sighed tiredly and put her hand to her face. [face-palm] "This is too much for me." She walked slowly back down the hall.

The brow haired girl stared at her back. "May Misaka recommend a good quality black tea with milk and possibly to book a shoulder massage? Misaka says while bowing respectfully as she tries to build a respect."

.

Hawk-eye stop for a second. "Oh?... Thanks. I'll think about it. Most importantly, don't forget to get into a representative form by tomorrow, Misaka." She slowly closed the door to the corridor behind her. The faint steps moved away, until this time they disappeared completely.

Mikoto slipped through the window into the room, following Inoue into the bathroom. "Hey, that was a really close call, good job. But could you hurry up and get dressed? It will be highest time to leave. There's enough gossip about Tokiwadai, and it would be a pain to prove some of them right. On other hand, it would be nice if everyone just accepted you as my mysterious younger sister and didn't bother to dig in it, but I'd rather not risk anything. Kuroko is one thing, but excuses like (It's a secret.), they won't work for everyone. So please, it's time to go."

"As you say, Onee-sama. As a sign of understanding, Misaka shortens the procedure of the couple's intimate social bath to the necessary minimum. Running the shower, trying to ignore big sister's sparkling."

Notes/explanations (in case someone doesn't know something):

TedyBear - [Kirugumar] (Kill-Bear) This stuffed animal is wrapped in bandages, as if after a crash, and has a black eye patch with a painted eye on it. Like the Gekota (frog), it is a symbolic mascot for certain commercial products. Mikoto's is almost a meter tall and she probably got it from an arcade/game room some time ago, although it's not sure where they have the machines that allow winnings. (Also she spend so much time in arcade that she hoarded a lots of points.)

In Japan, it is not allowed to have slot machines (specifically gambling) for money. Instead of cash, they can choose valuable prizes for the acquired coins/ points/ metall-balls. These prizes can be cashed in a pawnshop which is never far from such a gaming room/casino and the likely won items from it will soon go back to the prize shelf in the casino in question.

Mikoto - Meaning of the name: In addition to being the name of the Emperor of Japan, it can also be the name of a girl: beautiful, sincere and very loyal when it comes to love. Preferring small groups of people. Easily vulnerable if judged negatively. Always willing to lend a helping hand to others. Ready to listen to the problems of others. Sometimes she's weird... but sometimes the fact that she's weird underlines how pretty she is. She does not allow her privacy and always loves to be close to her loved ones. Examples: [Mikoto Myagi, Mikoto Suo] (Urban Dictionary)

Moe (slang) Moe sometimes romanized as moé, is a Japanese word that refers to feelings of strong affection mainly towards characters...
