[h2]Konpaku Youmu[/h2]

At the blue-haired woman's question, Youmu paused for a moment before proceeding.

"I was training in the Hakugyokurou gardens," she said, simply, "I closed my eyes briefly, and when I opened them I was here. I... I have to get back there. It's my duty to tend to Saigyouji Yuyuko-sama. I have to return as soon as possible..."

She listened quietly to the boy, who she now knew as Accelerator, explain where they were. She had heard that there was a city in the Outside World called Tokyo, but... Akihabara? She'd never heard of such a place... wait, did... did this mean they were in the Outside World?! Needless to say, the idea of suddenly being brought to the Outside World with no explanation put Youmu into something of a panic, but before she could do more then look intensely distressed, Accelerator proceeded to deride her again! But... she... she couldn't just take that, she was a proud member of the Konpaku family! She hadn't been training and honing her skills just to be insulted like that! To put it simply, Youmu felt the need to immediately explain herself and tell him just why that comment was so rude!

"... It's nice to meet you, Accelerator-san, Misaka-san," the white-haired half-phantom began, myon drifting about behind her, "But I have to protest! I was attempting to-ah!"

She felt a light tugging on Roukanken's sheath, and immediately drew back, realizing that Misaka Misaka... or Last Order, as it seemed she was referred to, was attempting to take the sword! Placing one hand on the sheath, Youmu drew back, shaking her head.

"I... I am sorry, but I cannot allow you to handle either of these," she began, attempting to speak gently to the girl, "They are very dangerous, and they are also heirlooms of my family."
