Bachiko

I sat on the couch and had Rimuri resting her head on my lap. It was just us two at the house since Orimi took Karasu and Tsuki out shopping for clothes and Mae was with the MPT. I looked at Rimuri and rubbed her hair and she smiled, holding her white blob closer to her. I got a message on my phone and I picked my phone up to check it.

{Mama Naora: Meet at the St. Hoya Academy in room G210 whenever you're free. We've got something important to discuss with you.}

I looked at the message from Naora then looked back at Rimuri who was happily asleep. I ran my fingers through Rimuri's hair and heard her slightly purring. I texted Naora back.

{Me: Okay, I'll show up when I can. Kinda situated with Rimuri.}

She texted back.

{Mama Naora: No problem! Just come by when you can today.}

Our conversation ended there. I put my phone in my pocket then Rimuri made a noise and woke up. She sat up and stretched.

"Finally awake huh?" I smiled.

"Mmmm..." Rimuri rubbed her eyes and looked at me. "Good morning.."

"Good morning." I smiled then stood up. "I've got somewhere to be soon, if you need anything just call me. Orimi and the others should be home in a bit."

"Okay.." Rimuri yawned.

I bent down then kissed her forehead. She smiled and blushed. I stood up straight then walked to the door and left.

...

I entered the classroom that Naora texted and looked around. It was similar to Iwakita Academy's classroom but much larger. "A lot of students out and some of them were even staring at me. You sure you want to do this during academy hours?"

"Ahh don't worry about it. The Headmaster doesn't mind." Himeko said as she had her cigarette in her mouth.

I walked to Himeko and took her cigarette out of her mouth then put it out on her ashtray. I slightly frowned and she sighed and smiled.

"Glad you're looking out for your big sister." Himeko teased then turned to the computers.

"Mina has good news and bad news for you Yoshida!" Mina turned around in her rolling chair then took a lollipop from her mouth.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Good news, Bachiko has been spotted in Yahoma. Bad news, Bachiko has been spotted in Yahoma." Mina said.

"This could be your chance to tame her, but it could also lead to more death. Right now the MHHQ have no idea about her appearance since she can literally appear without anyone noticing. Luckily some of our recruits spotted her then notified us. Bachiko is one strange monster though. She doesn't attack at all. It's strange because she's always one to attack." Namiyo said then blew a bubble with the gum she was chewing on.

"Before we tell you the mission, we should give you the courtesy of telling you how she even became a monster to begin with because her case is special." Naora said.

I pulled up a chair then sat down. "I'm all ears."

"20 years ago after the Apeiron Incident happened, there was a young woman who was named Bachiko Seta. She was just taking a stroll around Nagayako City. There was a clock tower being built around the area she was walking at and at that time the clock tower became extremely unstable then collapsed on her. Her death was horrific, but Apeiron managed to bring her back to life using her monster aura. Bachiko was brought back to life as a monster with some changes to her body. For one her heart is a clock. Even when it's pierced through, that clock still works and she gained a weapon beyond imagination." Naora explained.

"Weapon? You mean her naginata?" I asked.

"No. Her true weapon named Infinitum. The giant clock she summons is her weapon. Her power to manipulate all forms of time caused Apeiron to be frightened and sealed half of her abilities. If Apeiron was scared of Bachiko then you can only imagine how much power Bachiko held." Naora said. "She has many abilities such as Time Eater, Time Freeze, Event Manipulation, Reality Warping, and more. So you can see why having even a small amount of your Monster Aura can prove to be fatal. Just imagine what she could do with 100% of the aura she originally had. Ultimately she was split into two different people. Bachiko's Inverse has Perfected Space Abilities and is known as the Spatial Monster who wields the Spatial Aura."

"Ultimately, Bachiko has the power to destroy us all if she had all of her abilities. That's why she needs to be tamed, plus it'll be your chance to obtain more power if your goal is to truly destroy Apeiron." Ochiyo said and crossed her arms.

"So that's why we have the bright idea of helping you ask her on a date!" Himeko smiled.

"Wait what? You want me to go on a date with someone who basically has lordship of my life?" I asked.

"But you have the power to take that all away. Your ability to seal other Monster's power will come into play. Just a single kiss with make her yours." Himeko said.

I sighed then stood up. "Alright. Let's give this a shot."

They smiled and nodded, putting their full faith in me.

...

I looked around for Bachiko and my earpiece beeped.

"So it turns out that Bachiko is a total yandere. She's creepy and she has a weird pastime. The other day when you fought her, she managed to obtain a piece of your shirt. She spends hours sniffing that piece of cloth. So to match her, we will be helping you be creepy too. Yandere x Yandere stuff." Namiyo said through my earpiece.

"I hate this plan so much. It's not gonna work." I responded.

"Oh there she is. Sitting on that bench! Go to her." Namiyo commanded.

I sighed and walked to Bachiko then stopped in front of her. Bachiko looked up at me then smiled and rose an eyebrow.

"You sure have a knack of finding me. That must mean we are destined to be together." Bachiko giggled.

"Alright Yoshida, repeat after me." Ochiyo said.

"Ahh...Bachiko I'm glad to see you again." I said.

"I'm glad to see you too, my darling." Bachiko smiled.

I scratched my cheek with my index finger then blushed a bit. "Uhm...I couldn't stop thinking about you.."

"Same here." Bachiko said.

"Oh ah...I actually have been stalking you all day...Waiting for a chance to talk to you." I said.

"Same here." Bachiko said.

"Huh..?" I looked at her confused.

"Seeing you rub Rimuri's hair while she slept. Made me a bit jealous that you wouldn't give me a head pat once in a while. I'm calm now, my darling. I won't bite...hard." Bachiko smirked.

I looked at her and she lowered her head then I rubbed her head. She smiled and blushed slightly. "Can I...see the color of your panties?"

"Ochiyo? The fuck?" Himeko looked at Ochiyo.

"What she's been stalking him all day, she probably knows the color of the boxers he wears!" Ochiyo said.

"Oh..~ You're much more naughty than I could imagine~ Are you really that curious to know the color of my underwear?~" Bachiko looked up at me then stood up. She took my hand then led me to somewhere private.

"Yoshida what's happening?" Naora asked.

"She's actually going through with it..!" I responded. Naora let out a squeak after she heard what I said.

She looked at me then smirked. She turned around and slowly began to pull her pants down. I watched and blushed even more.

"Stop!" I said and held my hands out then closed my eyes.

She stopped and giggled then pulled her pants back up then turned around. "My my..~ You've taken baths with Rimuri while she's fully naked, yet you can't handle the sight of my lingerie..?~ Is it because it's not sexy enough for you?"

"I uh...Yes that's the reason!" I said and nodded then crossed my arms. "In fact, I am going to take you to a lingerie shop right now."

"Ahh..~ It's a date then..?~" Bachiko asked and walked closer to me.

"Y-Yeah it's a date." I nodded.

She smiled and wrapped her arms around my arm. "Then let's have this date..~"

We walked out of our private area then went into the city. I was relatively new to the area so it took me longer to find certain locations than back at Fujitori. We eventually reached the lingerie shop and walked inside. Bachiko let go of my arm then went to look around for some sexy lingerie. I walked around while she searched.

"Why am I in this position..?" I asked myself.

"Stop complaining..you have to get her to fall for you, so you can kiss her." Ochiyo said.

I sighed softly then Bachiko walked in front of me and held up a red two piece lingerie set and a blue one.

"Which one do you think is better..?~ Which one do you fantasize about me wearing more?~" Bachiko asked.

I looked at the two. "Ah..I was thinking about that one." I pointed at the white four piece garter lingerie set that was being worn by the mannequin.

"Oh?~ So you're really into the very sexy lingerie..~ I'll try that one on then..~" Bachiko smiled.

I turned around then rubbed the back of my head. As she went to try the lingerie on I walked outside the store then took a deep breath and exhaled. "Hopefully...it works out. I can't take the anticipation anymore."

After a few minutes, Bachiko walked out of the store and walked to me. I turned around and noticed her holding a bag in her hand.

"You bought the lingerie?" I asked.

"You said you fantasize about me wearing it, so I bought it so that when you think of me, you think of me wearing something wonderful underneath my clothing..~" Bachiko smiled.

I blushed and rubbed the back of my head then looked away. "A-Ahh...right.."

Bachiko's stomach growled and I looked at her then smiled. She smiled back at me. "I am a bit hungry..~ Let's find something to eat around here."

I nodded and she held my arm then we walked off. We found a small food shop where we could get something quick to eat. I bought us something to eat and before I could unwrap the bag she stopped me.

"I wanna make our date more personal..~ Let's eat somewhere more private." She smiled.

I nodded then she led me down a path in the forest. She stopped once we saw a bench then we sat on the bench. I unwrapped my bag and took my burger from the bag. I took a bite from my burger and noticed she wasn't eating. I swallowed the food in my mouth. "You're not eating?"

She shook her head then smiled. "Yoshida...I enjoyed our date..but I want to give you a gift of my own." She stood up.

I watched her walk in front of me. "A gift..?"

"You remember when I said I stalked you all day? I did stalk you...everywhere. I even knew about you meeting with the MPT..~ Heard them planning to use you to seal my power..~ Is that why you approached me?~ To seal my power away?~" Bachiko bent down and licked her lips. "Darling...~ I can't have that..~"

I looked at her and her red eyes shined brightly and she gave a sadistic smile. "B-Bachiko..?"

"Yes darling?~" She responded.

"I have only one request before you inevitably try to kill me." I said then looked down.

"Hm?" She stood up straight.

I stood up then held her shoulders. I placed my forehead on hers. "Tell me..the location of your shadow."

She looked down then looked surprised then shadow chains binded her, preventing her from moving. "You..you tricked me?"

"I had to...listen I don't want you to kill me and frankly I don't want to kill you. You're more than a Level 5 Threat. You're a threat beyond measure. I don't want anything happening to this world." I said.

She smirked and giggled then laughed and her eyes shined brightly. "Darling, you are foolish to think you can stop me! Infinitum!"

There was silence and nothing happened. She looked around then looked at me.

"I've binded you with the Dark Chains of Obsolescence. Your powers are useless. You lose." I said.

She tilted her head then smirked. "Really? You haven't even seen my true Monster Ability. If you think you've won..then think again."

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Chronos! Reset!" She yelled then her chest area began to shine and time began to rewinded before the events of me tricking her into my request.

She walked in front of me and summoned her giant clock then pointed at me and her monster aura appeared around her. "Say goodbye to your time darling~ Don't worry together we can be one~"

I grunted then stood up and touched her shoulder and she stepped back.

"That's not gonna work on me." She said then pointed at me. "Infinitum! Erase!"

A massive time beam was released at me then an explosion happened. She giggled then looked surprised as time began to be reversed.

"Thank you...for your time." I said and opened my eyes.

"W-What..? You took some of my Monster Aura?" Bachiko asked then took a step back.

"Bachiko listen. I don't want to hurt you. You don't understand that I want to save you." I said then walked closer to her. "I am not your enemy, you are not my enemy. Look you don't even need your powers sealed. I'll leave your powers alone.."

"How do I know you're just not lying to get me to trust you..?" Bachiko asked.

"You have my word...look...all I want is you on my side. The longer we are enemies..the more danger Japan is in. I want you to walk beside me." I said.

"You..want me to walk beside you?" She asked.

I nodded and held my hand out. "Let us face our enemies together.."

She blushed then reached her hand out then stopped when a laser blade severed her entire arm off her body. My eyes widened and I looked up to see Yasuo. She looked up and her eyes shined.

"...I will avenge Commander Asato and those units you killed! Monster!" Yasuo yelled.
