Umm, this is my first story of the Toaru series which I might add is a fantastic series and I've only seen both Railgun and Railgun S and Index Season 1 and 2. And I've read a decent amount of the manga for Railgun too so forgive me if I don't that much about other characters as I am still reading the novels. I guess you can say this takes place maybe...after the Daihasei Festival? The To Aru version of course, not the railgun manga version.

Oh and umm...I don't own this series because like, I'm not that talented enough to come up with such a sick power like Imagine Breaker heh. If you are wondering about my other series then I'm sorry but most of them are on hold, except for the Sonic and WarioWare crossover which I will get back too.

Kamijou Touma. The ever so unlucky high schooler of Academy City. There have been many average and unlucky students (protagonists) but his luck surely takes the cake.

And here he was now, walking home from the convenience store, with him slumped and carrying a single bag of bread and a box of cereal.

"Wow, I even managed to get a free box of cereal out of the bread I got today." For those of you who are not aware, this was one of Kamijou Touma's luckier days. Going to the convenience store was probably one of Touma's most fearsome enemies. If it wasn't forgetting to bring his wallet, then it was being caught up in the biggest line that would make even Lady Luck herself tear up a bit. Even if he somehow brought his wallet, he would then come up to the counter, and be told he was a dollar short. ONE DOLLAR SHORT.

Today however he was offered from a cashier in the store for a free box of cereal. Apparently this cashier was the mother of a child Touma had saved from some gang made of Level 0s. For sure, Touma was very surprised at the generosity, and accepted the gift with no complaints.

"I can't believe it...Index was right, this trip was worth it! I didn't even have to p-" He then abruptly sighs.

"Such misfortune..." Of course, Touma knew that good luck such as this will unfortunately not last long, and he was right for thinking that.

"-Hey you!" Cried out a familiar voice that Touma surely did recognize. He sighs again and turns around to see Misaka Mikoto, his self-proclaimed rival, who has constantly challenged him to fights over and over again.

"It's about time we finish this. Get ready to fight, unless you already admit defeat." She says as she crosses her arms and smirks oh so condescendingly. Touma in return would usually bark back and tell her to leave him alone, but he actually stares at her with a stoic type of glare.

"Hey umm...do you like have nothing better to do?"

"W-What?!"

"I mean, for someone as well-known as you, I figure you would have lots of friends. Can't you go hang out with them?" Misaka couldn't believe this. The way he was talking back to her was like talking to him was her only hobby.

"Of course I have friends! And you know that!"

"Ah so you do?"

"O-Of course!"

"Then you can't go hang out with them?"

"I would if I could you moron! I just so happened to see you, and plus most of them are busy."

"Like what?" He asked genuinely.

"Umm...well Kuruko and Uiharu are off doing some Judgement work. Saten-san is well...asleep."

"Sleep? It's 3:00, how is she still asleep?" Touma said quite shocked. Misaka sweat dropped a bit and sheepishly scratched her hair.

"Y-Yeah, she stayed up until 5:00am watching this one TV show. I forgot the name of it...Detective Cone?"

"You mean Detective Conan?"

Misaka snapped her fingers. "Yeah that's the one! How'd you know?"

"There was a time when I used to have a TV and used it to watch shows with."

"What? You don't have one anymore?"

"I do." He admitted. "It's just that Index hogs up the TV so I can never really watch anything. Plus I'm way too busy doing homework or well; putting my life on the line so that she is safe." He sighed at the sentence he just stated.

"Life is never easy for Kamijou Touma. Especially with that ignorant but slightly lovable roommate I have." He said bent back, causing the bag of his groceries to shake a little. He was expecting Misaka to laugh at his misfortune which is usually a daily based event, but she instead started to laugh.

"Please, if you think your roommate is bad, imagine living with someone like Kuroko." If he remembered correctly, Shirai Kuroko was in fact Misaka Mikoto's roommate. Despite being an underclassmen she somehow managed to become her roommate through "unpleasant" means. But Kuroko being worse than Index? Blasphemy.

"I don't know Miss Misaka Mikoto-san." He said quite condescendingly. "Index is quite the contender for most annoying roommate."

"Well does Index stare at you in the shower?" Misaka said. Touma tried to not laugh but couldn't hold it in. This was too easy for him.

"Is Shirai Kuroko a total slob who makes a mess out of practically anything?"

"Does Index carry around .wav files of your voice, and of you making suggestive noises?" Touma choked. She does what? He knew something seemed "off" about Misaka and Kuroko's relationship and he didn't think she took this whole obsession with Misaka to such an extent. Maybe he was the luckier one, but that would mean him losing and he didn't want that.

"Well Index makes me buy her all this expensive food, and I don't even get half of it!" Touma shouted.

Misaka was at a blank. There were plenty of umm "crude" things Kuruko would do around her, and even in public, and she didn't know which one would really make him think otherwise of who has the more annoying roommate.

But that didn't last long though.

"Kuroko smells my bed for the pure pleasure of it!"

Touma gulped a little. She was good. And it was true, after all when Touma had met up with her back at her dorm, she practically had her face on Misaka's pillow.

"That must've been her secret weapon...come on Kamijou Touma. Think! Think! Think! What happens on a regular basis?" He thought, then a lightbulb flicked in his head.

"AHA!" He said while pointing up. Misaka tensed up, waiting for her rival's next rebuttal.

"Well Index unreasonably bites my head until I start bleeding and fade into unconsciousness!" Misaka winced. She has witnessed it beforehand. Usually she would join in on beating up Touma but putting herself aside, she felt somewhat sympathetic. But that didn't last long as Misaka started to stretch her left arm and smirked.

"Heh, if you think something like that is bad, I'll tell you a lot more things that are even worse."

Touma dropped his groceries bag. Clearly this was practically a challenge invite.

"Bring it BiriBiri-san." He said with his Imagine Breaker fist tightly gripped, and a bit of emphasis on the word BiriBiri which Misaka clearly had noticed and wasn't exactly happy about it. The atmosphere had suddenly gotten thick and tense. So much so that practically everyone who was still on the street had immediately evacuated. The gazes of these two powerful students created the utmost tension as it seemed to have stopped everything from moving.

Touma cuffed his fist, staring intently at Misaka and waiting for her to make her move. Misaka started to have electricity emit out of her body, and waiting for the former to make his move. All in all, it was going to be an epic...verbal match? Suddenly however a car was speeding down the road, and it came to a complete stop seeing Touma and Misaka in the middle of an intersection.

"Hey! What the hell are you two doing in the middle of the damn road?!" The ruffian driver shouted outside his car window. Oh there were other cars too, but they were waiting for Touma and Misaka's stare down to finish. They were smart enough to know to not interfere with Tokiwadai's Railgun, and if she was staring seriously at Touma, then that would mean this was serious. It was understandable that this person does not know who Touma is, but not knowing who Misaka Mikoto is, is surely to bite him in the back.

"Hey you! Stupid hair! I don't know what staring contest you think you're having but you're not going to have it in the middle of the road!" He says as he slams the car door and walks over to Touma.

"Well? What do you got to say huh?!" He asked loudly in Touma's left ear but Touma wasn't exactly paying attention to him.

"What's wrong? Afraid I'll have a stronger come back?!" Touma asked mockingly.

"What about you? Afraid mine will be even better?!" Misaka equally retorted back. Needless to say, they both didn't really care about the ruffian's troubles right now.

"THAT'S IT!" The ruffian prepared to swing his right fist with all his might at Touma, but before he could even react Touma swiftly landed a straight left on him without even trying, and that causes him to fly right towards Misaka and...

BAM! Misaka left backhands the ruffian filled with a tiny bit of electricity, causing him to fly up to the top of a building, and he lands face first; not dead fortunately. Oh no, Misaka and Touma were not that oblivious when it came to restraining their abilities. Well Misaka anyways...although she can take it a bit too far at times. The other drivers now were no where even near to pushing their accelerator (XD). The scene that had just unfolded in from of them practically confirmed it. Get near them, and pay the consequences.

"Lalalala..." He utters as he drifts into unconsciousness at the top of the building.

"You know, I've got a better idea." Touma begins to speak as if nothing of importance had happened.

"Oh now?" Misaka asked, a bit curious as to what he was leading into.

"Since we both seem to be in the same situation, why don't we switch roommates?" Touma suggested. To Misaka, this was honestly one of his most weirdest yet slightly interesting ideas yet. Switching roommates? As in she being with Index and him being with Kuroko? What kind of switcheroo was he going for here? She clearly had no answer and decided to press on for more information.

"Switch roommates? I'm listening..." She said clearly intrigued.

"It's summer right? Seems like the plausible time to do this sort of thing. You don't really have any classes going on right now right?" Misaka nodded.

He smiled. "Alright, here's how it'll go down. Starting today, we'll be staying at each other's dormitory for the next week. I'll be staying at your dorm, and you'll be staying at mine. Whoever is able to last the whole week without wanting to change back is the winner."

"And I'm guessing whoever is unable to successfully last the whole week is the loser?" She asks to confirm.

"Correct."

"Uh huh..." She says slowly.

"Well what do you say?" He asks waiting for an answer. Misaka thought about it for a while. This could be her best chance at beating him at something. Switch roommates? Misaka practically laughed inside her head. Such an easy challenge for her. She was the third strongest Level 5 esper in Academy City. She wouldn't lose in such a silly competition. And to him of all people? If she were to lose this, then she wouldn't be able to look at herself again. She had to win, at all costs.

"Fine, I accept your challenge." Misaka replied.

"You mean it?" He asked, like a child getting their parent to buy them a toy.

Misaka's cheeks tinted red. "S-Sure, but only to beat you got it?!"

"Sure, sure." He responded. "So umm...we should probably start right now."

"Y-Yeah." She agrees a bit nervously. "So umm...I should head over to your dorm and you'll head over to mine?"

"That's right." Touma said. Touma and Misaka could both just feel the amount of awkwardness throughout this whole exchange. Touma originally thought in this head that it wouldn't be such a big deal but apparently that wasn't the case. He would be staying at a girl's dorm for the next 168 hours, but he honestly had no idea what he was in for. Not only would he have to deal with the ahem "Onee-Sama" cravings, he would also have to interact and socialize with the students at Tokiwadai Middle School. The all girls students at Tokiwadai Middle School. This would either be an easy or an extremely excruciating experience. Certainly he hadn't thought this through. On the other side of the spectrum, Misaka had no idea what to expect either. Unlike Touma who had been to Misaka's dorm, Misaka has never even been to Touma's dorm at all. So this would surely be a new experience for her too. But she would survive this childish game, she had too. Lose to him again? Not going to happen. But speaking of "survival", a major obstacle popped into Misaka's head.

"Ah damn that's right!" She exclaimed all of a sudden. Touma blinked in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

"The Dorm Manager!" She exclaimed again. Touma was still lost, although he felt like he heard that name before.

"How are we supposed to do this bet with her around? There's no way she would agree to this." Misaka uttered. Touma noticed she sure was making quite the big deal out of this person.

"It's just a silly bet, would she really have a problem with it?" Touma asked. Misaka shook her head almost instantly, with sweat coming down her face.

"No it's not you idiot! There's no way she would let this go that easily, and just what would the principal think?! Oh hey, can I switch dorms with some boy into an all girl prestigious middle school for a whole week? Nothing too major right? No way she would agree to something as stupid as that!" She angrily argued. Touma a bit frightened decided to ask another question.

"Well the school problem aside, this Dorm Manager can't be all that scary right?" He wondered. Misaka's face looked completely horrified. As if he had seen the scary things she has done to Kuroko, he believed her instantly.

"O-Oh then that is a problem then." He said while messing with his white collar. He also didn't take into account that she was right in the fact that the school itself wouldn't really want something like this going on. He would need to think of something in order for this bet he so cleverly thought of to work out.

"You know let's just cancel this bet. I don't think we'll be able to do this anyway." Misaka advised. Sure she wanted to do this as much as Touma did, but if they really had to go all this trouble then maybe it was just a waste of time.

"Well if you really have zero confidence in winning then I guess it'd be pointless to do it anyway." He remarked. Veins started to pop out of Misaka's head and she marched in anger to him.

"What was that you bastard?!" She yelled in front his face.

"Easy, easy BiriBiri." He said, while changing his preference of what to call her for like the tenth time. "I just thought of a way for us to do this!"

"Huh?!" Misaka exasperated in shock, and stepped back about two feet. Just what the hell could he have come up with in the past few minutes that would easily resolve the issue?

-TOARU-

"-A summer school research project?" A certain tall brunette woman asked.

"Y-Yes. It's a summer project I have to do for class, about umm...researching the behaviors two people have when they are forced to switch roommates and see who can last a week. It's a science project you see." Touma informed.

"Alright." The brunette woman said, although not really convinced. Touma noticed this and proceeded to talk even further.

"Uh I know what you are thinking, and this is and in no means a joke." He assured her. "This really is a summer science project that my teacher has assigned for me to do. Isn't that right Komoe-Sensei?" He lightly nudged his 135cm teacher, who slowly nodded and yawned, undoubtedly tired.

Yes Kamijou Touma had gotten that desperate, and begged his teacher Komoe-Sensei to come attest to the Dorm Manager about the so called "project" so that Touma would be allowed to stay at the dorms for just one week. It was nighttime, about 10:00pm to be precise. The four of them had all been gathered in Tokiwadai Middle School's lobby.

It was quite the sight to behold, a stern faced supervisor, a nervous yet smiling Touma, a sleep-deprived Komoe-Sensei, and a Misaka with just a face of pure anxiety.

"So you're his teacher?" The Dorm Manager asked.

"Y-Yes." She replied softly and yawned once again. Now of course Komoe-Sensei would happily help Touma out without hesitation. After all, Komoe-Sensei was basically Touma's Academy City guardian, and often looked after him even after school hours. Although she was getting overwhelmed of him asking her for her assistance at night, as it seems to be a regular thing. She did however find it quite flattering that he comes to her for help.

"S-See? She is my teacher, and she really wants me to complete this project, right Sensei?" He quickly glanced to her, earning a slow nod. Maybe it would've been a smarter idea to have asked her to do this about perhaps 7 hours ago, of which Misaka had insisted him on doing, but unless he wanted Index to bite him to death due to starvation then he had best wait until Index was completely satisfied; which was now.

"Umm, so you are his teacher?" She asked once more. This did wake Komoe-Sensei up. Why was she asking her again she thought? She did just answer her right?

"A-As I said before. Regardless of what you may think, I am indeed his teacher." She answered, a bit with a higher volume than before. It's quite clear that question struck a nerve.

"U-Uh right." She said, losing her strict composure. To be fair however, The pink bunny pajamas and short height doesn't really sell her being older than at least 10 years old, much less a teacher.

"Well I understand that this is an important project for your student to complete, but I'm not sure we can do such things here. I would have assumed that this dorm switching would be limited to the students of your class." She questioned. Touma bit his lip and turned to Misaka and Komoe-Sensei hoping they both had something that could retort that.

"This wouldn't happen to be some excuse to have access to the girls dormitory, just so you could enjoy being in a school filled with girls and seeing them in bathing suits and what not, and you forced this "teacher" of yours to do as you say?" She reprimanded. Touma just stood at her, just in shock. Such an unbelievably outrageous claim she had just made. Was that really the impression he made on people? He shook his head and denied her statement.

"N-No of course not! I would never! It's just uh-my classmates already all have partners to switch with. I was unlucky enough to forget about this whole project and was sort of left out heh, so I asked my good pal BiriBi-Misaka to switch dorms with me. After all we're practically best friends." Touma said desperately trying to persuade her.

"That's right!" Komoe-Sensei jumped in. "Kamijo-chan would never do something like that! Such a false statement, how rude can you be? Don't ever make such false accusations like that!" She said, her eyes filled with anger..

The brunette supervisor had lost all of her composure after that one.

"Umm well I'm sorry if I offended you both." She apologized rather awkwardly.

"Ah! Sensei you actually care that much about me?" Touma said, earnestly smiling in response to his teacher's protection of his credibility.

"Why of course Kamijo-chan. She is saying bad things about you, and as your mother I must respond in defense of my child."

"Uh well...I already have a mother actually."

Misaka internally face-palmed. This was getting way too out of hand. Touma at this rate was pretty much rolling with whatever came out of his mouth and Komoe-Sensei was doing more harm than good. But honestly to her, this was the first time that she had seen the Dorm Manager this flustered. In her own domain no less. It was actually something interesting to see. She actually wanted to do this bet even more now, seeing how dedicated Touma is to doing it.

"O-Of course. He's like a stupid brother to me. You wouldn't believe the amount of begging he did in order for me to agree to this, and as his lovely and amazing companion. I was happily able to accept." Misaka bragged, though a bit harsh with her word choice as Touma gave her a quick annoyed glance. Normally she isn't really arrogant, but around Touma it ups a few levels.

"I figured Shirai was rather close to you Misaka-san. I can't see her actually agreeing with what you are proposing." Naturally if Kuroko were to find out about this, then Touma's body would be in the cemetery, not even buried in the ground, just in the cemetery. Touma was just sweating thinking about it, Luckily Misaka had an easy answer to this.

"Umm well, she did agree to it. I told her that it would really help if she could help out my deadbeat, stupid, jerk of a friend over here, and help him barely pass his science class, and as the amazing friend she is, she would do it without a second thought. You know how dedicated she is to me." She boasted with a bit of pride, though with some harsh word choice yet again that gained another annoyed look from Touma. But If Touma could say one thing, it was that she was a pretty impressive liar.

"Tone it down would you, Princess Of All Electromasters." Touma mocked, giving her yet another alias.

"What was that?!" She glared at him. "I'll kick your ass for that!" She said gripping him by his shirt.

The brunette supervisor sighed, as she was sort of getting tired of this exchange.

"Anything to add umm...Komoe-san?" The brunette asked, actually sweating a bit.

"Well as for what you asked me earlier, it is not limited to just the students of my class, there is the exception of if a student does not have a partner, they are allowed to have a partner from another school, as long as it's a fellow student and said student consents with the idea." The Dorm Manager gave a quick look to an extremely pissed off Misaka, still gripping Touma with him desperately trying to escape into freedom.

"Well Misaka?" She said looking for a reply. Misaka dropped Touma on the floor and nodded. She looked back to Komoe-Sensei, to let her finish her explanation.

She continued on. "They will get extra credit points as well, if they actually switch with a student who is from a different grade level entirely." She swiftly answered. "Also the esper level of said student can factor in as well, and with Touma's partner being the third strongest Level 5 in Academy City, he would surely get a high number of extra credit points for that."

Touma jumped back up from the floor in a matter of milliseconds. "T-That's right! I uh, just forgot to mention that part before! Right Misaka-san?" He asked his short haired friend.

"Y-Yeah." She said with a nervous smile on her face. On the inside however she just sighed. She hardly could take any much more of this ridiculousness. Obviously Komoe-Sensei was just making things up as she went along, and Touma was just agreeing with nothing really to add. Though if she had to give her some credit, at least she seemed to have some decent amount of persuasion skills, unlike her spiky haired friend standing next to her.

"So umm...what do you say?" Misaka asked with some worry in her eyes.

The Dorm Manager was just tired at this point and didn't even bother to think real hard about this so called project.

"Well, aside from your student's questionable behavior, this doesn't seem too drastic of a joke." She said, clearing her throat. She fixed her composure rather quickly from Komoe-Sensei's earlier outburst.

"Very well, I'll talk to the principal of the school and see what she has to say about this proposition." She declared. Both Touma and Misaka's faces lit up when she said those words. Yes even Misaka will still excited despite the odd steps to achieving this bet.

"You mean you actually don't mind?!" They both asked (shouted) in unison.

"Well I'll admit this seems to be somewhat of a weird project, but it's not like you are actually doing any real harm to our school. And since I have gained the consensus of your teacher, it's not like your doing this out of your own accord so, I'll talk to her about this matter, and if she says yes you'll be allowed to stay here for a week." Touma was so happy he could just jump onto the Dorm Manager and give her hug, but he had too much common sense to not do something so deadly.

"Yes!" Touma shouted out in glee and offered Misaka a high five to which she gives back, but this did give them a weird glance from the Dorm Manager.

"Uh, I thank you for this opportunity ma'am. I won't make a fuss I promise." He said while bowing.

"Yes well, say that once you're proposition has been accepted at all." She said as she walked away onto the elevator of the school.

The three of them stood there for a good 2 minutes or so until Touma finally started to speak.

"Heh well, we sure lucked out there huh?" This earned him a jab to the head from Misaka.

"You idiot!"

"Such misfortune!" He shouted out in pain. For some strange reason nowadays Touma doesn't even say ouch, instead he automatically says his catchphrase as his replacement word for ouch.

"I don't want to hear anything about luck from you of all people! I can't believe you did this, we could've been killed!" She roared. Of course she was just exaggerating, they wouldn't actually be killed but you get what she meant. Touma however out of surprise actually retaliated and bopped her on her head.

"H-Hey what was that for!" She grasped her head in pain with a comical tear coming down from her eye. His light bop to the head actually hurt Misaka more than she thought it would.

"I feel like I didn't deserve that-thank you very much, and besides you're supposed to fire electricity at me and I negate it, not actually be physical with me. That's my element." He said, albeit offended.

"Whatever." She said, too tired to even argue back with him. At this point she actually felt some sympathy for the Dorm Manager, despite being utterly terrified of her earlier. She rubbed her head a bit, and proceeded to sit down on one of the lobby's small tan couches.

Komoe-Sensei began to yawn again. She was actually dead tired. The reason for this drowsiness was due to going a tad bit crazy with the drinks a couple of hours prior, and she really wanted to get some more sleep.

"Kamijo-chan I can go home now right?" She asked.

"Ah yeah. Thank you Sensei, I really appreciate it. I wouldn't have been able to do this without your help." He sincerely thanked her.

Komoe-Sensei although tired, was able to give him a bright smile. "Oh no problem Kamijo-chan. Just don't be afraid to call me for any more help okay?" Touma nodded.

She prepared to make her way out the school's doors. Though she stopped halfway as she thought of something.

"Make sure to brush your teeth before you go to sleep." She reminded him in a motherly tone.

"Don't worry I will." He said sheepishly. She smiled and began to make her way back to the door but stopped again.

"Make sure not to stay up too late."

"Uh okay."

She finally made her way to the door and stopped once her hand reached the handle.

"Don't forget to wear unde-"

"I get it already! Don't say anything else please!" He cut her off before she could finish the final word.

"Well bye." She waved and stepped outside the school's doors and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Touma just sighed. If you had the greatest hearing in the world you could hear him mutter "Such Misfortune" about 3 times.

"That Komoe-Sensei..." He started. She sure was a handful but he truthfully was thankful of her. After all 90% of this plan depended on her.

"Hey."

"What?" He turned around, hearing Misaka's voice.

"Come sit over here." She requested pointing to the space next to her. Touma blinked once, a bit perplexed.

"Why?" He asked quite annoyed.

"Just do it!" She snapped. Touma quickly ran over and lazily plopped onto the spot next to her. Misaka moved over some to gain some extra room, also to stop her face from turning into a cherry. They sat next to each other in silence for a good while. Misaka was staring at her knees, blushing extremely due to the spiky haired boy next to her, while he was doing was looking away to the other side observing the lobby's interior.

"You know, now that I'm actually looking at it...this school looks extremely nice in comparison to mine." Just the lobby itself looked like something you would see in a famous mansion, as the decorations looked very high class with it's golden ribbons on its walls. It had a very nice wall color too, the same as the couch itself.

"Hmph, well our school is about 50 times better than yours will ever be. This is Tokiwadai Middle School after all." She said crossing her arms. Touma just rolled his eyes.

"Hey umm, I know you're probably annoyed with me and all, but I just wanted to say-well, thanks for sticking with me and all." He said with a happy grin on his face. Misaka hated that grin of his so much, but it truthfully made her feel good about what she and him did today.

"U-Umm well, it was n-nothing that's all. I definitely only did this because I want to beat you!" She cried, pointing her index finger in Touma's face.

"Yeah I know." He reassured her. "Honestly, I don't normally do this sort of thing. It's just well...it's been a long time since I've had this much fun you know. I mean, it's not like I'm not happy with my current life now, but I kind of missed the times when I didn't have to worry about constantly running into danger you know. I mean due to my luck, I was already running into that amount of danger anyways. So, I guess I sort of think it's something I've missed that's all." He admitted.

Misaka could not help but feel all sympathy for that statement. While she hated his guts, obviously that was a front, and they both knew that. This was probably the first time she's seen him this happy. Usually he would just have nervous and annoyed look on his face due to his luck, but he seemed to be enjoying himself when he was talking to her about this challenge. I guess anybody would feel the same way he felt, if danger was always lurking around everywhere he went. After all she knows the amount of danger he gets into on a regular basis, and his choice of not letting others help him makes it a real pain in the ass for her and for many other people who care about him. The fact that she herself is one of the strongest espers in Academy City, but he would rather make sure she is safe then ask her for help, really pushes her buttons, even more so than Misaki Shokuhou. Okay maybe not to that extent she thought to herself.

But actually she can somewhat relate to him. Back during the Level 6 incident, she took it upon herself to save her clones without any help from anyone else. She couldn't tell them about it, the amount of danger they would get in would surely be intense. She couldn't even tell her best friend Kuroko about it, despite Kuruko being smart enough to know that that something terrible was going on. She still hasn't told them to this day about the clones and she holds a major amount of guilt because of it. And ironically, it was Touma himself who came to her rescue. She still feels immense gratitude for him getting involved in the project, even though he had absolutely no reason to intervene in the first place.

That is something Misaka Mikoto would never forget.

"You know can I tell you something?" She asked.

"What's up?" She punched him in his side.

"Such misfortune! Why did you-"

"Listen." She began. "If you think I'm mad about you doing all this dangerous stuff on your own without help then you shouldn't." Touma looked at her, . He didn't really understand why she was bringing this up all of a sudden.

"To be honest, I'm not one to talk about that sort of thing anyway. I mean back with the whole "Ascension To Level 6" plan for the number one esper, I hid everything about it from my friends, and I refused to ask them for help. I felt like I could handle it on my own you know? I didn't need to bother them and have their lives at risk because of my problem. After all the clones we're created because of my genes." She said, clenching her fist.

"Misaka..." Touma began to speak but was shortly interrupted.

She smiled. "I then learned that it is okay to ask for help, because in the end, sometimes you can't just do everything by yourself you know. If it wasn't for you, I probably would've been killed-alongside with even more of my sisters if you hadn't shown up." She was willing to admit this, after all it was true. Touma intervention, saved more innocent lives than he probably thought he did. Unbeknownst to him, his presence also changed the esper who was responsible for the clones' deaths.

"You talk about how you have such misfortune, but the luck of you figuring out what was going on actually saved a lot of people." Touma wasn't really one who liked to be in the spotlight. He didn't save people just because of it, he saved them because there should be no reason not to save someone. This much praise he was getting he felt like he didn't really want it.

"So you still haven't told them about your sisters yet huh?"

"I can't. I just don't want them getting involved into something dangerous if they are targeting again." Touma nodded, completely understanding her wanting to keep her friends out of danger.

"I see..." He trailed off before Misaka got back to her original topic.

"I guess in short, I just wanted to say that I don't blame you for wanting to do things by yourself." Misaka's sympathetic smile suddenly changed into an angry frown. "But..."

Touma yelped, jumping a little out of his seat wondering what he had done wrong by only listening to her. "W-What is it?!"

"Just..." She turns away with a red face. "Don't forget that if you ever need help you have me a-alright?" She meekly uttered, barely audible. But Touma heard it alright, and was blushing as well.

He rubbed his head sheepishly and focused his gaze on something other than the middle schooler sitting next to him. "I-I know. And well thanks."

"-Kamijou!" Yelled a voice coming from near the elevator. Touma and Misaka quickly stopped their awkward conversation and quickly ran over to where the voice was coming from, only to be led to the Dorm Manager.

"Ah you're back! What did they say?" He bleated, curious to know if they didn't do all this for nothing.

"Well, unfortunately it would seem that she has actually agreed to this project of yours." She answered.

"Are you serious?! That's so-wait unfortunately?" Touma had the feeling that he was not liked by her. Just a feeling.

"She seems very interested as to how you will fit in during this whole week." She clicked her tongue.

"That damn principal, oh she's a curious one alright. I can't believe she agreed to this." She says cuffing her fists. Misaka stepped back in fear, and Touma just hid behind Misaka, frightened, clearly realizing why Misaka is so scared of her.

"Anyways, I gave her your approval and since Misaka has completed most of her studies, she will be allowed to move into your dorm while you can stay in hers." She announced. Misaka and Touma both sighed but this time of relief. It's taken them this long but they were finally going to be able to do this bet they set to do about 8 hours ago.

"Now what?" He asked.

"Well I guess I should take you to the room." Misaka replied. They began to start walking towards the elevator until the Dorm Manager had something to say to Touma.

"Kamijou!" She shouted. He immediately did a quick 180 and stood in perfect posture, which had Misaka amazed.

"Yes! I am Kamijou Touma! What is it that you ask of me?!"

"I will say one thing. If you so much as even attempt to show us your hidden intentions, I will make sure you permanently won't ever have them again." She threatened, oozing bloodlust. If the lobby was suddenly filled with water, it would be from Touma's sweat.

"I-I swear!" He answered with no hesitation. It wasn't even directed towards Misaka and even she was sweating.

"Very well, you may be on your way."

"Umm, thank you for everything." He bowed once again. Misaka walked over to the elevator and pushed a button for it to open up. Touma slowly staggered onto the elevator, still feeling the aftermath of the Dorm Manager's malice. Misaka let him in first and she followed soon after, having the doors closed after them. She pressed a button, indicating the floor she needed to go to and they waited until they heard a beep noise, meaning they had arrived at their designated floor.

Misaka walked out the elevator but Touma was still inside.

"Get out of their you big baby." She called out. Touma walked out, still frightened.

"And you have to deal with her everyday? I have the highest amount of condolences for you." He said. Misaka nodded with a empathetic smile. "Yeah I know what you mean, but now you're going to have to deal with her everyday." Touma grimaced, knowing she was exactly right. It was actually a long time since they actually talked about the bet itself, so as they walked to Misaka's dorm they had a conversation about it.

"Heh, since you've seen the school life I have to go through, you should realize that I'm going to win this with ease." She said.

"While I'll admit that this was way more hellish than I expected, spending time with Index isn't going to be a fun experience."

"Ha!" She pointed. "You think that's hellish? Kuroko isn't exactly someone you would ever get along with."

"Don't you worry, I'll found a way to get along with her." He claimed. They had finally arrived at the door.

"Come to think of it, you'll probably need your clothes and stuff right?" He asked.

"Oh right. Well what about you?"

"Well, I think I'm fine with the clothes I have on now, I'll just wash them I guess." He said referring to his school uniform.

Misaka breathed in and out and smirked. "Sure you don't want to back out now while you still can?"

"There is absolutely no way I'm giving up now. After all I've done to get this far." He said clenching his fists, ready for almost anything. Except the Dorm Manager of course.

"Well here goes." She opened the door, revealing the contents inside of it. Suddenly a short pigtailed girl sprang out from the room.

"Onee-Sama! You have returned!" She said hugging her precious self-proclaimed lover. Or at least that's what she thought she was hugging before opening her eyes and realizing that she was hugging Touma instead of Misaka.

"E-Eh?" Kuroko just stared at Touma's face, and with a delayed reaction...she slapped him dead on the face and stumbled onto the floor.

"Such misfortune..." He said, stunned back with a glowing red hand on his cheek.

"Onee-Sama! Why have you returned here with this ape with you?" Kuroko angrily asked her short haired best friend. She had a million questions as to what was going on here, but the main question was why exactly was he here?

"Uh well, you see Kuroko uh...well it's kind of hard to say."

"Oh Onee-Sama you can tell me anything that troubles you, even if it does involve that ape." She then had a realization.

"Ah! Don't tell me this ape is the one who has you upset!" She narrowed her eyes at Touma who just thought it would be a great idea to just not say anything.

"N-No it's not him! Umm it's not that I'm troubled by anything."

"Then what is the problem t-"

"Well uh...what if I were to tell you that umm...you would be sharing a room with him for one week?"

Kuroko laughed. She had to admit, her Onee-sama sure was quite the jokester. Obviously this was just a joke and nothing more.

"That's very humorous Onee-Sama, if you were worrying about how I would react to your joke, then even if it was god awful I would laugh no matter what." She declared as if she was one of those lovers from those soap operas. Misaka and Touma looked at each-other with great uncertainty of if this was really a good idea.

"Umm...but Kuroko, I'm not lying." She admitted.

Kuroko laughed even harder. "Onee-Sama stop it please!" She said somehow laughing and moaning at the same time. "I don't know how much more I can take of this!" She kept laughing until she saw that both Misaka and Touma weren't exactly laughing either.

"Eh...so umm, you were telling the truth?" She asked hoping to be wrong. They both nod.

"Ehh?!" She blurted out in fear.

They finally get to the bet! What will happen? Will Kuroko actually unleash her fury on Touma? Or how will Index deal with Misaka? Uh I hope Touma survives because I actually like writing his character lol.

This sure was a long one. I didn't mean to make it that long. If you have any ideas of what you would like to see happen during this switcheroo, then feel free to share your thoughts. :)
