Yohz! Here's another story! I plan for this to be a short one though, I'm planning to upload another one soon. Can't keep ideas locked up now can we? Trying to improve my writing skills.

Warning: KonoSetsu (Now, why would we call that a warning?(!)")

Disclaimer: I do not own...NEGIMA!

Eh, read and enjoy?

Setsuna let her head fall freely which eventually hit the table with a loud 'bang'. This seemed to snap Asuna out of her channel surfing. The television didn't seem so loud at this point.

Asuna turned her head when she heard it, she sweatdropped when she saw the drained swordsman. "Hey…Setsuna…are you okay?"

Setsuna tilted her head so that she could see her orange haired classmate who looked at her with concern. She frowned and then started to bang her head on the table repeatedly.

"Woah!" Asuna placed her hand on Setsuna's face and pushed her head backwards. "What is wrong with you woman?!"

"Gah!" Setsuna grabbed Asuna's hand and ripped it off her face. "For your information I'm only a teenager…"

"Fine, whatever, but still, you just don't go banging your head on a table over and over again! You're gonna get brain damage I tell you!"

Setsuna squinted her eyes, glared and pouted. "Mou…I think I already HAVE brain damage!" She threw her arms in the air and banged her head on the table again. She obviously had a dilemma to deal with.

It was a good thing Negi and Konoka were in the kitchen preparing lunch. Well, the volume of the television also helped in covering that up. If not, Konoka might have been flustering on how Setsuna was treating her poor defenseless head right now. Setsuna stared at the floor and groaned.

Asuna studied her friend carefully. She had never seen her friend this down before. I mean, sure, she was kinda serious most of the time but she looked happy. Well, now she just looked downright depressed, sad and tired…of sighing that is.

Konoka peeped through the kitchen door. "It'll be ready in a few minutes, sorry if it's taking long."

Before Asuna knew it Setsuna was seated upright again, smiling and nodded to Konoka.

The pigtailed girl's eyes were looking from Konoka to Setsuna and back. Asuna pounded her fist on her palm. "Eureka!"

Konoka looked at Asuna. "Hmm? Have you discovered something Asuna?"

The orange haired teenager waved her hands up in defense. "Ah…it's nothing…don't mind me." She laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her head.

Konoka made her way back into the kitchen where Negi was stirring the soup in the stove.

Setsuna was back in her 'forehead resting on the side of the table' position. Did she have fast changing expressions or what? Asuna rested her head on her right palm and poked Setsuna, which caused her to sit up straight involuntarily. "H-hey! What was that for?"

The young swordswoman sweatdropped when she saw a sly grin plastered on Asuna's face.

"Nyehehehe…" Asuna continued to grin in a very evil way. Chamo jumped up on the table beside Asuna's right arm, sat and started to listen.

"W-what is it? Asuna, you're scaring me…seriously…"

"I think I know why your so down in the dumps!" Asuna was smiling from ear to ear.

"Huh? I'm not down in the dumps, I'm just tired and all." Setsuna replied.

"It's because of Konoka-neesan right?" Chamo suddenly joined the conversation. Heh, seemed like he was listening from the start. What a sly, sly rodent he was.

The sword wielding teenager blushed and the stuttering started. "N-no!"

Chamo grinned and rubbed his chin when he noticed that his little method was working. Asuna's eyes turned into little slits and the sly grin was plastered on her face again. She was on 'time to tease Setsuna' mode.

"Oh? Really? Maybe it's Aniki then?"

"Wha-?!"

"Oh, my ,my ,my…you like the our english teacher now do you?"

"N-!" She was cut off by Chamo.

"And we thought you liked Konoka-neesan. Whatta shame, we thought you were loyal!"

That did it. Setsuna grabbed hold of Chamo. "I didn't say anything about liking Negi-sensei in THAT WAY at all! I am loyal to Kono-chan and I forever will be! Pull of something like that again and I swear you will seriously miss your tail!" Setsuna spat. Well, they succeeded.

"Gah! Okay okay! We were kidding!" Chamo struggled out of Setsuna's tight grasp.

"Hmm, come on, it IS about Konoka right?" Asuna whispered in Setsuna's ear.

Setsuna closed her eyes and sighed. "FINE, it is about Konoka."

"Hmm? What about me?" Setsuna's eyes shot open when she heard Konoka's voice. She was currently placing the food on the table and she smiled sweetly in Setsuna's direction.

Asuna and Chamo were grinning madly and they 'high five'd' each other.

Setsuna had a light blush on her cheeks. She grinned goofily and waved her hand. "Ah, i-it's nothing, really!" She laughed nervously.

Asuna crossed her arms over her chest and smirked. "Really now?"

Setsuna glared directly at Asuna. Asuna took this as a sign to back off, and so she did.

"Ehehe…."

"Like I was saying, it's nothing really, just some papers involving our very eventful Kyoto field trip when we were in 3-A." She turned her head towards Asuna who gulped. "Right Asuna?"

"Uhh…ahaha…yeah!"

"The associations are still asking for reports? I thought that stopped a long time ago." Negi proceeded to sit on the other side of the table and Konoka sat parallel to Asuna.

"Uhm…not exactly, I happened to come across my previous report drafts in my desk drawer while I was looking for some junk to throw away."

"What an obvious lie…" Chamo snickered to himself.

"Shall we eat then?" Konoka asked.

"Itadakimasu!" They all said in unison.

Setsuna soaped and rinsed while Chamo dried the plates, glasses and utensils. Asuna had the job of placing them inside the cupboard. The two sparring partners had no idea why Chamo was with them though.

Negi was in his little quiet space murmuring some spells and Konoka was watching television. There was no way those two would notice the conversation Chamo and Asuna wanted to start.

"Continuing our earlier conversation…" Chamo started while drying a glass.

"Yeah, seriously, what's up with you?" Asuna continued and placed a few plates on the lowest shelf in the cupboard and got the glass from Chamo.

"I guess, you guys have already found out huh?" Setsuna stated while rinsing the last plate and handed it over to Chamo.

"Not really but we're pretty sure it involves Konoka, right?" Asuna closed the cupboard.

Setsuna dried her hands with a piece of cloth and handed it over to Chamo.

"It's just that…well, you guys know that I kinda…have feelings for Konoka-ojousama."

Asuna leaned on the kitchen sink .

"Not like it WASN'T obvious." Both Asuna and Chamo thought.

"You want to confess dontcha'?"

The blushing swordswoman looked down. "W-well, yeah…sorta."

"Why don't you then? I mean, you guys have known each other for a pretty long time now." Chamo chimed in.

"Yeah, and I'm sure she cares about you a lot, and you obviously care for her too. So, why not?"

"I know that, but I don't know where it'll go from there…besides I don't think…"

"I pretty sure you know, bet your just scared huh?" Asuna rubbed her chin.

Setsuna sat on the kitchen counter. "But, you know, I think it'll be better if I just go out and say it! At least I'll know where I stand. I can get it off my chest and I won't have to keep it inside anymore."

Asuna glanced sideways. "Ehe…You're kinda contradicting what you said earlier…"Asuna murmured to herself.

"Fantasy can become reality!" Chamo snickered.

"Huh?" Setsuna looked blankly at Chamo.

"Fantasy?" Asuna started to think. "OH! Fantasy! I get it! You wouldn't need to daydream about you and Konoka and uh…stuff!" Asuna's eyes started to look up and then she blushed. "Eheh! But I'll leave you and your fantasies alone!" She gave Setsuna a thumbs up while rubbing her head.

The sixteen year old swordswoman sweatdropped and gave Asuna a slight glare.

"You had better not be thinking what I think your thinking!"

"Aha! But you're thinking about what Asuna was thinking and that means you're thinking it too!" Chamo blurted out.

There was a pause.

Setsuna understood that and turned towards the door. She was now on her way to where Konoka was watching television.

While Asuna took a while to understand what Chamo just said , she still noticed Setsuna walk out. "H-Hey! Setsuna!" Asuna called out. "Ack!"

Her face hit the open cupboard door. As she was picking herself up from the floor she heard Konoka from the living room.

"Secchan, why are you blushing?"

"Heh, she had better come up with a good explanation…" Asuna thought.

"Ah, t-this is nothing Ojou…ah, I mean Kono-chan…" She heard Setsuna reply.

Asuna rubbed her forehead as an image of Setsuna blushing came into mind and she giggled as she imagined what must have been happening between Setsuna and Konoka right this instant.

Negi seemed to notice Setsuna's blush too. "Setsuna, perhaps you're coming up with something…"

Chamo was standing beside Asuna, who was sitting on the kitchen floor, still rubbing her forehead. "We have to get that blushing thing of hers fixed."

"Definitely! Hey, you know Chamo…as much as I think it isn't possible…you aren't annoying all the time!" When she looked down Chamo was already peeking under her skirt. Her eye twitched and she grabbed the ermine. "You know what…I take that back!"

The orange haired girl proceeded to throw him at the wall.

He hit it with a loud 'thud!' and he slid down. "Gyah! Asuna-neesan you're horrible!"

Mah...tell me what you guys think. R&R appreciated!
