True Self ~True Face In Darkness~

True Self ~True Face In Darkness~ is the eleventh chapter of the To Love-Ru Darkness manga.

Summary
Mikado-Sensei and Oshizu take a bubble bath together, with Mikado-Sensei talking to her about her artificial body. Mikado-Sensei tells Oshizu not to overuse her energy, or else it could make her disappear.

Meanwhile, Mea shows Rito, Yami, Nana and Momo to her apartment, which is virtually empty, aside from a laptop, a pillow, and some other scattered items. Nana wonders why Mea doesn't live with her sister, since she has one, and also wonders if Mea gets lonely all by herself.

The next day at school, Rito, Momo, Oshizu and Yami talk to Mikado-Sensei about Mea and her master. Oshizu wonders if they can ask Mea about her master, but Yami says that Mea's master will not come out so easily, and Momo adds that even though they know Mea more on the outside, there is still a layer stopping them on the inside; some deep darkness inside of Mea. Yami wonders that if Mea is really only darkness on the inside, then she is too, because they were both created as weapons, and are sisters. Rito then explains his love for his own sister, and compares Yami's feelings for her own little sister, concluding that such feelings are not of a weapon. Yami is briefly moved by his speech, and Oshizu notices this compassionate side of Rito and wonders if this is why Haruna and Lala love Rito. Unfortunately, all of a sudden, a dog comes up to Oshizu, causing her to panic, and her psychic powers exploding out of control. Her powers pull off Yami's panties, and sends Rito flying into Yami, face first. Infuriated, Yami attacks Rito, and Momo grabs him and flies away.

Later, Oshizu notices Mea. She decides to possess her and look inside her mind. Inside Mea's mind, Oshizu finds lollypops floating around everywhere, and tiny winged-Ritos licking her. Oshizu then finds a memory, where Mea fights a bunch of thugs for information about Yami's whereabouts, and swiftly beats them, using a transformation ability very much like Yami's. Mea then talks to her master, and Oshizu wonders who it is. Before she could see the master, suddenly everything goes black, and Mea appears behind Oshizu and tells her to stop. The darkness starts to swallow up Oshizu, but she manages to escape back to reality just in time. Mea tells her that if she stayed for a second longer, she would have disappeared. Oshizu is shaken by the darkness inside Mea and asks her what she is.

Later, Mea returns to her apartment to find that Nana and Haruna have furnished it, which Nana paid for with a years-worth of her allowance. Mea is grateful and thanks Nana and Haruna.

At Mikado-Sensei's house, Oshizu wonders what the darkness inside of Mea is, and what she should do about it.

Meanwhile, Momo is still flying away with Rito, begging Yami to forgive Rito, but Yami still pursues them.
