Chapter 1

Asuna Kagurazaka

Number VIII

"He's a brat alright. But he can handle himself for his age"

-Asuna Kagurazaka

Though Asuna didn't like kids, she has a special connection to her teacher. She didn't like Negi at first due to him replacing her longtime crush Takamichi as her teacher, but she saw

in him a power that made him truly unique. From the moment she met him, she became entangled in a whirlwind of events, which eventually lead to her identity as the lost princess of

Ostia. But she didn't care, about her destiny, or her life. All she thought about was Negi the one person who came to her when she was down, when she was at her lowest point. Yet

she repaid him with punches, or random acts of violence. She even thought he was a perverted 10 year old even though he was there at the wrong place and time. All along she

knew in her heart that he would never do that especially to his students. When she found out he was leaving Mahora the month after graduation, she wished she could take

everything she ever did to him back. Her whole world went crashing down when she heard those words come from him "I'm leaving and I won't be coming back". To her Negi was the

only family she ever had, next to Takamichi, and Konoka. Now she felt like she was going to lose a piece of her world.

Asuna stared outside her window. It was raining hard and she couldn't see any form of light save for the street light. Asuna turned around to see Negi out in the hallway talking to

Takamichi about leaving his stuff at his house. He agreed, and Negi told him to take some antiques, and things to keep at his place, until he can find a place to put them. Negi

thanked Takamichi, and said his goodbyes. Negi then turned around to see his partner looking at him with a gloomy face, something that she wasn't known for giving. Even though

Negi knew the reason why she was like that he proceeded to keep his mouth shut so he won't incur her wrath. With the awkward silence between the two overwhelming Asuna

then spoke out to break the ice.

"So I guess this is it? You're going to leave now to fulfill your father's legacy?" Asuna said with a slight harshness in her voice.

"Yes Asuna. I have to do this; I can't abandon that world to its fate. I couldn't live with myself if I let them all disappear and all the work I put into it go to waste." Negi said adamantly.

"But do you have to really go and leave us behind like we never even mattered?" Asuna said as her tone became louder.

"You know it's not like that Asuna! You all matter to me, but you all have lives to live and you can't chase me forever!" Negi shouted

"So what's wrong with that?" Asuna said as she began to calm down. "What is wrong with chasing you? Why can't we do that? That why we do it because we care about you. But

lately you have ignored us and became cold and distant. I know you have a responsibility to help the people, but never forget the people who love you for who you are: Ayaka,

Nodoka, Yue…. and me." She forced out the last word as tears formed in her eyes.

There is shock on Negi's, and for the first time could not find the right words to say. Even though he wanted an explanation he stayed silent listening to what Asuna had to say.

"You were always there Negi. You always saw something in me even when I couldn't even see it myself, and when I was down you came for me to pick me back up. I changed so

much when I met you, and I thank you for it. You are the best friend I could ever ask for, and I admire you for your cleverness, drive, and kindness" Asuna said with a smile.

Negi began to feel warm inside from all the things he was being told. Then without warning she ran over to hug him almost falling on top of Negi in the process.

"Negi I don't want you to go! I need you….I love you." She said hugging him so warmly.

Negi slowly but surely returned the hug and stayed still as time moved forward. He began to look up at the sky for some sort of answer. Although he knew he was doing the right

thing it was at the cost of someone he truly cared about. His heart began to truly ache for Asuna, and for the first time began to truly think about what he was giving up. Although

he finally was equal to his father apart of him just wanted a normal life with his students: something he thought he couldn't have.

"I'm sorry Negi. I don't want to drag you down with my selfish feelings. I hope you do well in the magic world." Asuna began to let go of her embrace to her partner and began to

walk to her bunk until Negi grabbed her hand gently.

"I'm glad you told me. It is okay to be selfish, and I am so terribly sorry for doing this to you." Negi said sadly

"To be honest being famous like my dad and following in his footsteps is great, but I gave up a chance to have a normal life with everyone… including you" Negi said sadly.

"I'm going to miss everything about you. I'll miss your company, your presence…and your comfort." He then kissed her on the lips lightly but sweetly.

"I may belong to the world, but for tonight I'm yours to hold and love. For tonight I will be there for you." Negi said sweetly. Asuna began to smile and kissed him back. "I guess I'll

be sleeping with you tonight?" Negi said innocently.

"Yeah definitely" Asuna smiled. They began to kiss with passion in their veins not knowing that the rain had stopped and the moon was bright for all to gaze upon.
