PART 1

Setsuna took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. The winter air now making her breath visible. She sat atop the World Tree thinking about Konoka. It seemed years since they had spoke,
though it had only been days. Setsuna's love for her grew every single second."But, why cant I tell her?" She heaved a heavy sigh. She couldnt avoid Konoka much longer, the winter break was almost over. The samauri jumped from the branch she was sitting on, and landed gracefully on the snow. "Tomorrow I will speak with her."

Setsuna reached her dorm that evening around 1 in the morning, heading in from patrol. Her senses tingled as she entered her room. It was pitch black. The desk lamp she usually leaves on, she assumed had burned out. She fumbled around in the darkness to find the light switch. When the room filled with light, Setsuna found Konoka lying on the floor before her.
"MISS KONOKA!" The beautiful princess lay motionless.
Setsuna's heart pounded as she quickly picked her up and placed her on the bed."Konoka, please.." Setsuna begged. She checked her pulse. Konoka was still alive, but barely.

Setsuna's desperate screams had attracted other students. Amoung them, Asuna Kagurazaka, and Professor Negi Springfield. Before she knew it, Konoka had been swept away from her by Negi. Setsuna reacted how she had been trained,
and nearly attacked the young professor. Negi muttered something in Latin,
and everything seemed to freeze, except Setsuna, and himself.
"We have to get her help, follow me, Setsuna" Negi exclaimed.
Setsuna only nodded, and followed him. Everything snapped back to normal.
They pushed through the crowd of chattering students. Setsuna could her them gossiping already. She didnt care. All that mattered was Konoka. The girl who mattered more then anything in the world to her. Her closest friend, her only love, her precious Konoka..
