Eva-sama's New Toy

An AkoxEva Negima! Yuri Fanfic

Ako Izumi plunged over the side of the railing. She had been lugging her bass guitar back from Dekopin Rocket! practice. The case was heavy and Ako had been having trouble bringing it down the stairs. Its wheel caught and she slipped, falling right over the side. A scream caught in her throat. The horrifying realization that she was about to die flashed through her mind. Her snow white hair flew around her face, lashing it fiercely in protest. A single teardrop slid down her cheek.

Ako struck a hard, uneven surface. Her eyes were shut tight, dripping liquid down her scrunched up face. Wait, what? Ako tentatively opened her eyes. She hadn't hit the ground. Strong hands gripped her tightly, and vaguely inappropriately. Ako turned, expecting to see Nagi, the kind boy who was like an older brother to her. Her eyes opened wide in shock. Before her, inappropriately holding Ako's rear, was her classmate Evangeline A.K. McDowell. "Evangeline-san!" Ako exclaimed. Evangeline stared back at her with piercing blue eyes. "You should be more careful, my dear." A wicked, fanged grin spread across her face. The tiny, yet surprisingly powerful girl stood and set Ako softly on her feet. Ako's face flushed bright red. Evangeline's long blond hair encircled the pair in curling ringlets. "Sayonara, Ako-chan." Evangeline turned away. Her hair swirled around her waist. The long black coat she was wearing whipped in a sudden gust of wing. A metal buckle on the front clacked off of another. Ako was blinded by the stinging blast of cold air. She shut her eyes to shield herself. When her vision cleared, Evangeline had completely vanished. Ako gasped in surprise. How was that even possible? Standing hurriedly, Ako frantically searched for Evangeline with her sight. The square was empty. Ako carefully retrieved her instrument case and tottered back to her dorm in a daze.

The next morning, in the hall before homeroom, Ako searched for Evangeline. In her hands, she clutched a bento she had made for the other girl. The shy girl blushed furiously thinking about how her antisocial classmate had saved her life, how she had grabbed her so tight and securely. Ako shook her head rapidly. What was she thinking?

Evangeline walked down the hall to Negi-bozu's homeroom. Chachamaru accompanied her, her mechanical gait moving in perfect pace with Eva's. She spotted Ako and smiled very slightly. Very very slightly. "I'll meet up with you later, mistress." The robot dashed off. Evangeline's eye twitched. "What the-?" "Evangeline-saaaaan!" Evangeline looked up sharply. Izumi Ako-chan! Her face turned red. "Y-yes, Ako-ch- I mean, Izumi?" Ako turned scarlet and thrust out her hands. "W-will you have lunch with me?" Evangeline had been feeling awkward towards Ako since the day before when she had fallen from a large flight of stairs in the courtyard. Evangeline had caught her, but she had accidentally put her hand under Ako's skirt and grabbed the waistband of the girl's panties while stopping her fall. While it was true that Ako had certainly caught Evangeline's eye, she hadn't thought for a second that she cared about her. However, yesterday, she had run off to catch the frail girl almost instantly, without putting any thought into it. She wouldn't do that for most other people. And now she couldn't say no to those fiery crimson eyes brimming with tears. "Of course. I would love to. Let's meet on the roof at lunchtime." Evangeline smiled eerily. Ako blushed. "Thank you! Thank you! Don't bring a bento, I made one for you!" She ran off, shouting "I'll see you then!" before she turned the corner. Evangeline grinned. This girl was going to be fun.
