A Certain Invisible Shadow (A KnB + To Aru Kagaku no Railgun crossover fanfic)

Chapter 5: Of Dangers and Hobbies

        After the torturous hell, the crowd dispersed as if nothing happened. The girl thank Kuroko for saving her, in which she just say that the one who truly save her is her Tetsu-nii. With a blushing face, the five year old scurried towards the dizzy boy in which Kamijou was holding to balance himself. The girl immediately goes with her parents after giving her thanks to the boy she thought was a ghost. Tetsuya in turn, completely used to the treatment, just give her his rare genuine smile.

            Some Anti-Skill members came to take the criminal away after hearing Kuroko's report. With a sigh she faces a usually emotionless Tetsuya who was now being bombarded by a thunderous questions (or perhaps interrogations in Misaka's term).

            "What were you thinking?! Vanishing like that then appearing in a perilous situation and all?!"

            "I saw a huge crowd forming and I became curious."

            "THAT'S NOT THE CASE!"

            Exasperated, Misaka glares at Tetsuya. Tetsuya whom just experience a thunderous hell slightly twitch receiving that, which goes noticed by Kamijou and Misaka. The light-haired girl's eyes glint in satisfaction as she managed to make this plainspoken but bold boy to be scared of her. Kamijou, well let's just say that he can sympathize with his situation.

            "So what exactly happened onee-sama?"

            Kuroko asked, not before latching herself to Misaka like a mad man, earning a yelp from her and she too suffered the same fate Tetsuya has experienced earlier.

            "Never do that again!" shouted Misaka as Tetsuya scoots closer to the smoking body of his little cousin muttering 'I don't know you grow up like that Shirai-san, I refuse to acknowledge you.' which brings the fallen girl to life and gives him a wail,

            "Uwaa~ Tetsu-nii meanie!" and tried to latched onto Misaka again, but once she see the disapproving looks from her and Tetsuya she instantly stops and sulks at a corner.

            Kamijou, noticing the odd behavior f the 'lesbian' in front of him just sweatdrop thinking: 'Woah, these two sure had a big impact on her'.

            Going back to the topic, Misaka explained at how Tetsuya disappeared right after Kuroko go. Then the instant she and Kamijou noticed the forming commotion neraby, she had a bad feeling and went to confirm it. Amidst the crowd she squinted trying to find an extraordinary tuft of powder blue hair who in turns to be at the middle of the hostage situation Kuroko supposed to clear.

            "That's just absurd! Not that I really care but you should think first of how your cousin will react to that!" Misaka continued, even though he glare softens a little, but just a little bit.

            A small frown adorned Tetsuya's facial features as if his disapproval was getting the best of him. With the coldest of the coldest voice he could muster, he spoke:

            "I must say I appreciate your worry,"

            "Hey! I'm not worrying! It's Kamijou and Kuroko I'm referring to!" retorted the electro-master.

            "But I cannot bring myself to ignore such situation, add to it that my own cousin was there. I can't let something happens to her if I just abide by that." continues him as he ignores Misaka's 'tsundereness'.

            They were stunned, mostly Kuroko. She just hear from her Tetsu-nii that he'll do everything for her sake, (at least that's what she translates) which touched her heart. And for Misaka who thought of Tetsuya as a frail-looking individual to have such a high mental aptitude and determination to even dealt a situation like earlier. Both of them seem to be speechless, save for Kamijou who looks at Tetsuya with a new found respect.
