Saten woke up in the hospital the next day. She had been admitted after her fight with the ice magician. She was not in any immediate danger as she only suffer from a few cuts and bruises, but her friends insisted she stay in the hospital after everything she had been through. She was put in the same room as Kamijou who had suffered a concussion after slipping on the ice (considering that was his worst injury he felt quite lucky.)

After everything that happened over the last couple of days it was nice to have some down time to go over all of it in her head. There was a lot of information to process. The magic world existing, secret organizations vying for control in a war that no one knows about, a secret clone project, and the relationship between Misaka and Kamijou. What was the real story behind it?

She had come this far, why not finish her job. The boy that was lying next to her stirred a little in his bed. There was no one else in the room, and she was way too tired to try anything but the direct approach.

"What are you feelings towards Misaka?" The boy sat upright in an instant and stared over at Saten before lying back down quickly in pain due to the sudden movement aggravating his recent injuries.

"What do you mean?"

"You went through all this effort to save her. She obviously means a lot to you and I have seen her a few times with you. She acts differently. But what worries me is that I am one of her best friends and I never hear her talk about you. So as a close friend who worries about her, I ask again, what is your relationship with her?"

Kamijou just looked at her for a minute surprised at her sudden outburst. During this whole incident this girl had kept getting more and more in his face, but he was starting to figure out the reason. She was worried about her friend and just wanted to make sure she was safe. He decided she should learn the truth.

"The truth is that I love her." He said it so straight that it surprised Saten. She had expected him to beat around the bush. She had figured out that much already. He may be the kind of person who goes around trying to save anyone he can, but he wasn't the kind to ask for help. He had fought desperately to save her and keep her out of it.

There was a small cough from the doorway and the both of them looked there to find a girl with short brown hair in a Tokiwaidai uniform. They both turned pale at the realization that their conversation had just been heard.

Just then the girl tilted her head and looked at Kamijou. "When will the wedding be? Asks Misaka hoping to get a pretty dress." Kamijou let out a sigh of relief. The one that had overheard them was not railgun but Misaka 10,032. "What about you onee-sama? Do you want a pretty dress? Asks Misaka excited about the new plans." As she said this she stepped to the side to address her identical twin that had been hidden behind her. This person was identical in every way except for the bright red cheeks she had at the moment. Misaka Mikoto could not make eye contact with anyone in the room and was just staring at the floor.

The room had become very quiet. So quiet that railgun was actually heard when she mumbled her response. "Me too." She looked up to Kamijou expectantly but it was Kamijou's turn to be bright red and unable to make eye contact.

Just then a giant stampede of people consisting of friends, classmates, and English magicians came pushing through the doorway interrupting the awkward moment.

Misaka made her way over to Saten to avoid the awkward conversation with Kamijou. Saten could only smile up at her knowingly while Misaka avoided her gaze too.

"What are you doing Misaka?" Saten's friend looked up at her. "Look at all the pretty girls that throw themselves at him. You like him and he admitted that he likes you. You better snatch him up before someone else does."

Misaka's gaze fell back over to the boy in the bed on the other side of the room that was surrounded by people making sure he was ok. To Misaka's dissatisfaction most of them were attractive females.

"I will."


It wasn't until much later in the day when all the vistors had left and the curtain in the middle of the room had been drawn so the occupants could get some sleep when Saten heard the door open.

The figure approached Kamijou's bed but Saten could only see the shadow of the person that had entered. The figure stood next to Kamijou and she could hear them whispering but not what they were saying.

Finally she saw the figure bend down and kiss him. Saten gasped and the figures jolted up. They drew the curtain quickly. Misaka and Kamijou were looking at Saten both with red faces.

"You were awake." Misaka was the first to say something.

"A little. I am glad you took my advice!" Misaka looked away from her.

She whispered back to Saten "Actually we have been dating for a while. We were just keeping it secret."

Saten's face blanched. "So it was true!"

"What was true?" Now the couple was confused.

"The reason I got involved in all of this was because one of the urban legends on the site I visit was about Railgun having a secret boyfriend.

"What!" Both of them were shocked to hear that.

Saten pulled out her laptop and showed them the site and the rumor that had been going around. Misaka seemed embarrassed but Kamijou looked more interested about the website. He kept scrolling through all the headlines of the stories and started looking almost worried. He got to the bottom and looked up at the two other people in the dark room.

"I think most of these are about me." Saten's mouth dropped. She had wondered why it was so hard to try to investigate any of the legends. It was because they all involved one person.

"Are you serious?! You even know about the ith school district?!"

"Yeah of course. She is a good friend of mine." Misaka and Saten's mouths hit the floor.

"She?"

Saten spent the rest of the night asking every question she could of the mysterious boy in return to keep their relationship a secret. All the legends she had investigated getting solved felt great. Seeing her friend happy felt even better.

Morning came and the three hadn't got any sleep that night.

"And I think that was all of it. I really am not sure though since I lost my memories." That had been covered earlier.

Misaka chimed in. "I knew of almost half of that already and I was still surprised. Maybe we should take you into the unsolved cases section in judgement. Maybe you could clear out some of their work too." Misaka laughed at the joke that everyone in the room knew was probably true. "But I doubt even you know what destroyed the tree diagram. That will always be a mystery."

The room got silent as Kamijou's eyes widened and he looked away.

"What!" The conversation lasted awhile longer going over the carnage he had caused.


A few days later Saten was released from the hospital.

"Now what do I do?"

AN: That is the end of that one. I will probably come back to Magical Index again but I think I will continue to work on other projects thanks for reading the story and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
