Prologue: The Devil Z's Latest Victim
(10 minutes past Midnight, Mahora Girls' Dormitories)
A girl with long hair tied in a spiky form was awake in her dorm room. She couldn't sleep, having a sense of dread. Suddenly the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Is this the residence of Asakura Kazumi?"
"Um, yes. Who is this?"
"This is from the desk of the Mahora Medical Academy. I'm, afraid I have unpleasant news for you."
"What?"
"It's regarding your cousin, Asakura Akio."
"Wha... what about... Is... Is he..."
"I'm... I'm sorry. We, um, we tried everything we could to save him."
A loud wail sounded off from the Mahora girls' dormitires.
(30 minutes later)
Negi burst open the door, which was fortunately unlocked, after quickly flying to Kasumi's dorm room from Asuna's after hearing the former's loud wail. He immediately found Kasumi laying on the floor fetus style, crying, the receiver of her telephone laying next to her, discarded and forgotten.
Negi slowly approached the young girl, knelt before her, and stroked her hair.
"What happened, Asakura-san?"
Kasumi slowly sat up and turned to face Negi, with streaks of tears on her cheeks. Her face was mournful.
"Negi... (sniff) sensei... (sniff) Akio... (sniff) niisan... (sniff) he... (sniff) he..."
Negi wrapped his arms around Kasumi, taking her into a hug.
"I'm sorry Asakura-san."
Kasumi's only response was to hug him back, and cry openly. Negi slowly rocked her back and forth, trying to console her.
'Damn it all! I should have known this would happen!' thought Negi. 'If only I knew clearly what was in that accursed car! Just exactly why do they call it the "Devil Z"!?'
-TBC
A/N: Just another Negima crossover experiment I'm trying out, this time with Wangan Midnight. To those wondering why Akio Asakura is reported dead, actually this "prologue" is some time into the actual story. So next chapter will be the actual start of the story, when Kazumi gets her first ride in the Devil Z. And the plot is inspired by something from the first Negima TV Series (the one by Xebec).
