Alright, so this is my first Negima Fan Fic, and just a few comments to make about it for clarity purpose. Dialogue in Italics is in english, otherwisde dialogue is japanese. This story starts just after the Spring Break arc and it is safe to assume that everything up to that point happened the way it does in the manga (Which is slightly different from the Anime but you should be able to catch the differences)

Enjoy


The child looked up at the familiar sign of Mahora Academy with a sigh, "So, Negi, this is where you're working now, eh?" Slinging his satchel over his shoulder and walking into the academy grounds he smirked and chuckled to himself, "A teacher …"


The sun was going to be setting soon, as Negi wandered around the campus trying to find Asuna. She had been missing from their room and Negi was worried that something was wrong. However, much to Negi's relief, he soon found Asuna sitting by the fountain. She looked as though she was lost in her thoughts and barely seemed to notice Negi walk up to her, "Asuna-san, is something wrong? Asuna-san?"

Hearing his voice Asuna seemed to wake up, and then looking over at Negi took a minute to collect herself. "No, nothing's really wrong, I was just thinking about the spring trip." She paused for a moment, "A lot happened and I'm still sort of trying to figure it all out."

Negi looked a little down, "I'm sorry for the trip," then after a short pause continued, "I didn't mean you ruin your spring trip like that." This was followed by a quick bonk on Negi's head.

"Idiot, it isn't your fault that the events on the spring trip took place, so stop blaming yourself." She paused for a moment, and then added in a snide tone, "But then again, you probably aren't disappointed with the events, since you got three more partners out of it."

Negi began blushing, "A-Asuna-san!" As Negi tried to think of a response, Konoka snuck up behind him. "T-That wasn't my intention! I-I never meant to make contracts with Nodoka-san, and Setsuna-san and Konoka-san! That- That was just how things turned out!"

"So, Negi-sensei, does that mean that you meant to make a contract with Asuna?" Negi spun around to see Konoka there and jumped back.

"K-K-Konoka!" Negi tried to explain himself, "N-No! T-That's not what I meant either! What I meant, or, what I'm trying to say is that-"

"Excuse me." Negi stopped talking and looked over to the person who had interrupted him. There was a child around Negi's age standing there. The child wore a plain white tee shirt, with a pair of short jeans. Around the child's neck was a necklace made out of fangs and around the child's right wrist was a silver bracelet. Taking the satchel off of their back, the child said, "Sorry to interrupt, but I have a deliver for Negi Springfeild."

As the child waded through the contents of their satchel there was a momentary pause, and then a loud, "Kyaa!" as Konoka rushed over to inspect the child closer. As she got right into the child's face she asked, "How old are you?"

Still going through the bag trying to find whatever the child was searching for, they answered, "Twelve or so." Then finding what they were looking for the child pulled out a letter and handed it to Negi, then taking out a pocket book asked, "Please sign here to verify that you received the letter."

With a slight nod as Negi stared at the child with a confused look he looked down at the letter, which was addressed to him from his sister, and signed verifying that he had received the letter, while Konoka continued on. "That's so cute, you're only twelve and working so hard! Shouldn't twelve year old girls be attending school though?"

The child paused, "I'm only going to say this once, so please listen carefully." Konoka stopped her close to harassing demeanor and stepped back as the child said, "I am NOT a girl." There was a short, awkward pause.

Then, with the impact of the words sinking in Konoka shouted, "No way! Your skin is way smoother than mine though!" She started rubbing the boy's cheek, and then rubbing his head added, "And your hairs really smooth and soft too!"

Now looking slightly aggravated as he unruffled his white hair, the boy replied, "There's a difference between having some features that some people might consider to be slightly feminine and being a girl."

The previously silent Asuna who had been observing the situation now interjected, "No matter how I look at you, you have to be a girl." The boy was about to respond to this when something suddenly clicked in Negi's head.

"Ser!" he shouted, "It's been a long time!"

The boy smiled, "Here I was thinking you'd forgotten me, Negi. Your sis asked me to deliver that letter to you when I was picking up another delivery for Old Man Mahora." He looked at the two girls then said to Negi, "You have some seriously weird students."

Negi chuckled a sort of awkward chuckle, "I guess you could say that." Then, with the confused looks from Konoka and Asuna who didn't really understand the English, continued, "So you have another delivery here?"

The boy nodded, "Yep, want to tag along?" Negi nodded and the two began walking off towards the headmaster's office. After a brief moment of confused looks, Asuna and Konoka followed the two of them.

"So, you two know each other?" asked Asuna.

Negi nodded, "We met before I went off to magic school. Ser wandered into my home town one day and we would occasionally play together." The boy looked back at the two girls then at Negi.

"I going to guess from what I just heard and from what I heard from your conversation earlier that they know about your magic?" Looking slightly ashamed Negi nodded, "And they're your partners?" Another nod, this time with a face came from Negi. The boy just laughed, "Nice job, Playboy," he said softly so only Negi could hear him. "So, what's your names?" the boy asked looking back.

"Isn't it proper to introduce yourself first?" asked Konoka.

"I'm not supposed to give out my name to strangers, though," retorted the boy in a wily tone.

Deciding not even to fight that battle, Konoka replied, "I'm Konoka Konoe and this is Asuna Kagurazaka." Asuna half nodded, still unsure whether or not to trust the boy that they had just met.

The boy smiled, "Nice to meet you, my name is Seraphim Merielle, or just Ser for short."

There was a pause for a moment and then Asuna said, "That sounds like a girl's name." Konoka nodded in agreement and the boy stumbled over as if pierced by an arrow.

Looking over at Negi with rather comical looking tears streaming from his eyes the boy said, "Negi, please help me convince them that I'm a boy!"

Negi looked down at his friend and then looked away saying, "I seem to remember a similar situation several years back involving someone getting free food." There was a loud "erk" sound that came from the boy as he stood up straight and started laughing to himself.

"Ah-ha-ha … I have absolutely no idea what you're referring to Negi …" Then after receiving rather awkward stares from the two girls behind him, Ser said, "Anyways, let's go deliver this package to the Headmaster."


As the group entered the headmaster's room, the headmaster who was sitting behind his desk looked up from his paperwork and seeing who had entered rushed over to embrace Ser. "Seraphim! It's been so long since you've come to see your grandfather! I was beginning to worry about my cute little granddaughter!"

Three quick, loud, thuds followed. "Dammit Old Man, for the last time I'm not your granddaughter!" Ser tossed the satchel at the still recovering headmaster, "The package is inside as always." Once again, however, Ser felt the cold stairs of Konoka and Asuna on his back, sending a shiver down his spine.

At this point Konoka spoke up, "Grandpa, if Ser's your granddaughter, does that mean …?"

The headmaster nodded, "Yes, Seraphim is your long lost little sister, Konoka." At this point from across the room flew a rather large book that hit the headmaster square on his head.

"First of all, I'm a boy. A B-O-Y. Second, I never agreed to the adoption, you senile old fart." Ser was searching through the Headmaster's drawers as he spoke.

Negi looked a little surprised, "The Headmaster offered to adopt you?"

Still looking through the drawers, the boy replied, "Not exactly, his son did a few years back after I did a delivery for him." Then paused for a moment in the middle of his rummaging, looked up at Konoka, then looked back down and said, "I knew I had heard the Konoe name somewhere before."

Looking slightly interested, Negi asked as Ser continued rummaging through the drawer, "Why didn't you accept their kind offer?"

Finally finding what he was looking for, Ser pulled out a pair of silver scissors from the drawer and began walking over to the mirror on the wall. Once he arrived at the mirror, however, he was assaulted again by the headmaster, "No, don't just cut your hair like this my cute little granddaughter!"

Two more loud thuds followed and Ser responded, "Because they offered to adopt me as a daughter." Ser was about to start cutting his hair when Konoka grabbed the scissors from his hands.

She was smiling, "Let me cut your hair! Pleease!" Ser looked back up at her with rather cold eyes and while Konoka looked down with begging eyes, "Please! I always wanted a little sister!"

Shaking slightly and clenching his fist, Ser responded in a rather choked back, angry tone, "Please put the scissors down and let me go back to cutting my hair." Konoka looked saddened but Ser's response.

"Actually, Konoka, can you please leave the room for a few moments? Seraphim and I apparently have something to discuss privately," said the Headmaster who was now sitting behind his desk reading a letter that he had received.

Giving a curious look at her grandfather, then at Ser, Konoka left the room scissors in hand saying, "I'll give you your haircut later, Ser-chan!"

As Konoka left the Headmaster asked Negi and Asuna to excuse themselves from the room as well and they did so going out into the hall. Once outside, Konoka asked, "I wonder what grandfather had to talk to Ser-chan about." They made a few conjectures but their questions were quickly answered by a loud yell from inside the room.

"WHAT? I NEVER BROKE MY AGREEMENT! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!" At the sound of the loud screams the three out in the hall rushed in.

"What's happening, Headmaster?" asked Negi quickly in a worried tone, noting the now fuming Ser in the corner.

Sitting back in his chair the Headmaster replied, "Well, the only reason that Seraphim was allowed to continue doing her delivery service was that she had to follow a strict set of rules that we had in place for her safety, and she acknowledged that if she were to break these rules …" The headmaster paused and looked back over at Seraphim still fuming in the corner.

"If she were to break these rules?" asked Asuna.

"If she were to break these rules she would be subject to living at Mahora Academy and living under our rules until we felt that she was able to make proper choices."

From the corner there came a loud shout, "Damn it, if you're going to punish me at least get the gender right, old man!" Konoka who had just been listening began to seemingly radiate.

"Then, does that mean," she began, "that Ser-chan is going to be living her now?" The headmaster nodded and stars appeared as Konoka threw her arms around Ser, "Yay! I finally get a little sister and she's even going to the same school as me!"

Ser managed to slink out of Konoka's grasp and walked over to Negi, then kneeled before him. "Please, Negi, if you have any kindness left in your heart at all for me, then please kill me."

Negi just smiled weakly and chuckled a little saying, "I just don't know what to say after that whole free food incident."

Curling into the fetal position on the floor with rather comical looking tears flowing down his eyes again, Ser mumbled, "Karma sucks."


So, what did you all think? I'd love to hear any comments you all have. Thanks!
