Prologue!
"Dear future...no, it seems like...ugh, why would they...no, God no...I'm actually..."
A young boy, with light blue hair, and fell down to the base of his neck, spiked at the front. His eyes were a deep crimson colour. Horns grew out of his head, and large wings appeared out of the back of him, though if he wished, he could hide them and he'd appear to be a normal human.
He was overlooking a few papers that his Mother had given him. He himself looked around 15 years old, a good build but not overly muscular. His face had a bewitching handsome that would sucker most to believe that he was quite an innocent person, and his skin looked white, almost pale.
On his body, he wore what appeared to be robes, as if he was royalty. On his head, was a royal looking crown, and he looked rather tired for some reason. On his arm, there were eight rings, as if they were tattoo's on his flesh itself.
Before him, many different types of Demon's stood there within the large hall. Large, small, and normal sized Demon's. Each of them seemed to be waiting an order from him.
"Fiancee...Konoka Konoe...she's that girl from my childhood who I actually liked...hmmm, I wonder how she's grown..." A wicked smile appeared over his face, and turned his eyes outwards, overlooking what seemed to be a legion of Demon like creatures. "Seems my Mom wants me to get married. Hahaha, what a foolish idea, marrying when I wont be around long enough for such a thing. Don't worry though my friends, I'll be making sure you're all well looked after!"
The Demon's all cheered while the boy brushed a lock of blue hair behind his ear.
Then, a man who looked to be middle age, albeit with horns sticking out of his head, came rushing towards the boy.
"Sire! Sire!"
"Don't call me Sire because it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and what is it that you want?"
"Y-Yes sir, I have just received orders from your Mother. You are to be sent to Mahora immediately."
"First of all, what the hell is a Mahora? And second of all, why am I being sent there?"
"Y-Yes sir, Mahora is apparently an academy within the human world, it is to talk about your marriage to one Konoka Konoe-sama. Your Mother has arranged you to meet her, and to stay at the academy."
"Staying around humans? Why would I want to do something like that? Attending an academy for humans? She must be having a joke. I understand."
The boy demanded, making the man cringe at the sight.
"B-Because of your illness sir..."
"Yes, I aware of the illness Jeeves. What I want to know is why my Mother believes it is a good idea that I spend time with humans? I have already decided that I am going to allow the illness to do what it wants with this form of mine."
"B-But Sire!" The boy gave a glare. "I-I mean, sir." The boy slowly nods his head. "Y-Yes sir, your Mother w-wants you to try and rid yourself of the illness. She has made an arrangement w-with an old friend, Konoemon-sama who is the headmaster of the school. F-For being there, he wants to have a bodyguard for his granddaughter...Konoka-sama..."
"A bodyguard for Kono-chan huh." The boy grinned with interest. But that soon faded, and he rolled his eyes. "Not interested. I'm sure Secchan is enough for that. Me being there would cause unnecessary problems to Kono-chan, and I don't want to do that."
"But sir! If you don't go, the King will be furious and he'll send you to 300 years of torture!"
"Well, he can try but I haven't got long left to live anyway so it doesn't matter."
"But think of us too sir. W-With you gone, our nation will fall."
The boy ran a hand through his blue hair, and threw his head backwards.
"Well, if you say things like that, then I would become troubled. I wouldn't want my kingdom to fall after all. You've been good to me in these years of being under my servitude. Even then, going to a humans school to spend my last days of being alive is...I couldn't leave my empire behind for my own selfish reasons..."
Suddenly, he felt an ominous aura behind him.
He cringed, and felt a hand grab his head, dragging his body upwards. The large hand had large fingernails as well which pressed against the base of his skull. He almost thought that his skull was going to be crushed.
"Akuma!" A large booming voice came from the figure holding him up. "You will go towards this school and don't make a mockery of our family, do you understand me!? I will not allow some illness to kill off my child! If you don't ride yourself of it soon, I'll kill you myself, do you understand me!?"
The boy cringed, and grabbed the claws on his skull.
"Alright, take your hands off me. I'll go, I'll go. But I'll be taking my Demon's-"
"No you will not!"
"Ugh...whatever, fine. Stop yelling in my ear. I can survive in the human world on my own."
Suddenly, the hulking monster shrunk down into a human form. He looked like Akuma, though he only had red hair rather than blue, and his eyes were as dark as Akuma's red eyes. He gripped the boy by the throat, and held him up, essentially strangling Akuma.
"Now you listen to me boy, the only reason you live is because your Mother wishes it. You've already been shamed by being cursed by humans in the first place, if you don't want me to kill you, then you better break that damn illness. Otherwise, I'll kill you before the disease has a chance to do so and I'll do it more painfully to wash the filth of our family from existence, do you understand me?"
Akuma gripped the man's hands, and tried pulling away but his hand was too tight, too strong.
"Alright, I already know. Now take your hands off me."
The boys Father charged his hand up with fire, and slammed it against Akuma's body, the boy coughing up blood, and was flung into a wall nearby.
The boys Father looked shameful of Akuma, and then huffed.
"If it was up to me, you'd already be dead. Be grateful your Mother cares for you. You disgust me, dirty blooded scum."
Within the wall, Akuma held a hand to his stomach, and glared harshly towards his Father as he walked away.
Akira then placed his hand outwards, and magical lights gathered around.
"Come spirits of ice! Tundra and Glacier, Spread Forth into the Air, in the Realm of White Night! Frozen Earth!"
From the ground, pillars of jagged ice came erupting upwards, while Akuma winced, feeling pain running through his body. The ice headed for his Father, who turned around and smirked, seeing the ice, before he placed his hand outwards, and shadows came upwards, smashing through the ice, and his smirk went towards his son who narrowed his eyes.
"You use your human magic to fight me, yet regret your Demon side. If you wish to fight me, then you're going to have to accept both your human and Demon side. But for me, you can't defeat me with this."
He turned his head around along with his body and then left the area, Akuma clutching his chest.
As soon as he was gone, Akuma's attendants rushed over and helped him out of the wall.
"Sir, are you okay!?"
Akuma looked down at his wounded stomach, and grimaced.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Seems like I'll have to enact my plans sooner than I planned. I'll definitely need to gain some partners."
"Plans, sir?"
Akuma twitched his eyebrows, and then stretched his hands, addressing the masses.
"Everyone, please do not worry about my Father destroying you after I'm gone. While I might be leaving, I have already arranged your safety. For serving me these past years, you shall be rewarded, I've made sure that you'll all have comfortable lives. Even when those humans cursed me to die, you all stood before me and followed my every word, and I am very grateful to all of you, so I've been contacting various people, and have arranged to have you all be taken care of by trusted allies of myself. Do not worry about my Father, he wont be able to find any of you, you'll all be safe!"
[Akuma-sama is the best! Akuma-sama is the best!]
They chanted again and again, while Jeeves as Akuma called him, moved closer, with tears in his eyes.
"I-I knew you cared for us sir!"
"Of course I do, you're all apart of my Kingdom, and you've served me well."
"Sir...will you really die? What if you need to fight? We can't bare the thoughts of you dying."
Akuma shrugged calmly.
"Guess we'll find out eventually. Don't worry Jeeves, if I can take care of a Kingdom with the powers I have, I can handle myself within the human world. I have enough money for any adventure, due to the various deals I've made in the past. It is only humans, I mean, how hard could it be?"
Truly Akuma had no idea what he was in store for.
"Go!"
"I'll be late for class!"
"Eyaaaaaa! It's the first day, I can't be late!"
Before his eyes, many students, all surprisingly female it seemed, were rushing through the train station, as the train had pulled away, another on its way. He stood there at the station, with bags beside him. He looked around at the area, and saw many different people seemingly going too fast for them to stop.
Now he was wearing what people described as 'street clothes', jeans and a shirt that had a picture of a cartoon Devil on it. He didn't get why he'd not wear his normal clothing, but his Mother knew the human world better.
He tried to stop a few humans, but they either ignored him, or just didn't hear him at all.
"This is weird...I don't see any teenage males. Did I get the wrong place?" He murmured, and took out some paper. Looking it over, and looked at some signs around him, he deduced that he was within the right place. "No...this is the place called Mahora...but these people are moving so fast that no one is stopping to speak. How am I meant to know where to go?"
As he was pondering it, two girls came out from a vending machine that was nearby. One was a small girl that had long hair, light purple hair, and similar eyes. The other was a girl who had shorted hair that was a blue violet, bangs that covered her violet eyes and she was carrying many books with her.
"Geez Nodoka, do you need so many?"
"Ehehe, I have to return them today Yue..."
"Even then, allow me to carry some. You can't even see where you're going."
Yue said, but Nodoka kept walking forward, and Akuma didn't see her, until he felt something hit his back.
His eyes turned towards it, and saw the book carrying girl.
"Case in point, you almost knocked over that guy."
"I-I'm so sorry!"
Nodoka said shyly, pulling away from him, Akuma tilting his head.
"It's quite alright. Though you shouldn't be carrying so many books that you can't see."
"See Nodoka? Even a stranger..."
Before she could finish, someone came running by while yelling "Excuse me!" and accidentally bumped into Nodoka, sending her down into the train tracks.
Yue's eyes went towards the man who knocked her.
"Oi! That was rude!"
"People and manners, as I'd expect from humans."
Yue glanced towards Akuma, who looked down towards her, and then looked towards Nodoka.
"Ooooowie! T-That hurt!"
The girl complained, while he watched on.
From the side, he saw a train passing by, and was heading for her body.
Nodoka turned to the oncoming train, and she let out a bellowing scream.
"Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Ooh my God!"
"She's going to be hit!"
"Someone do something!"
He watched as others screamed as well, and Yue's eyes turned moist with fear.
"She's going to get killed! Someone do something!"
Yue cried out gripping her hair, and looked as if she was going to die herself, so afraid for her friend.
Akuma sighed, and casually leaped forward. He spun in the air, landing before the girl, who became surprised, he put her on his shoulder, and jumped out of the way, a second later a train would have killed her.
He landed on the platform, where people began to gather. Yue looked on, and saw what happened. Seeing what Akuma did, it almost looked unreal. How he managed to actually do something like that.
"H-He did something inhuman, didn't he? How did he do that? No, maybe he's a gymnast…? But, can a gymnast do something like that? It seems almost unreal..."
Yue thought to herself, and walked closer towards them, as a crowd gathered around.
"Did he rescue that girl?"
"Amazing, I saw it!"
"Yeah, he flipped, and grabbed her! He must be an athlete or something!"
The people cheered around the Demon Prince. He however just awkwardly scratched his cheek, looking down at the girl who was clinging to his body.
"You can stop holding onto me now."
He spoke up to the young girl, who gasped, and looked at his face.
The first thought that came to her mind was…
"M-My..."
"My..."
"Y-Y-You saved my life! Thank you s-so much for s-saving my life!" Her eyes went to his hair, and became surprised. "Your hair is..."
Her voice was full of shyness. Surprising, the young boy named Akuma actually liked that. Though he acted as casual as he could.
"Natural blue, yours is purple human female. Anyway, I've got to go and meet someone called Konoemon Konoe, and make sure that I am..."
"Konoemon-sensei? Why're meeting him?"
Yue spoke up, while Nodoka looked shyly towards him.
Finally, someone to help him find his way.
"So, you know of him then? Alright, then girls. Will you take me to this Konoemon-sensei person? I'll make it worth your while." His hand went towards his shirt, and pulled it upwards, revealing his toned stomach, making the girls blush bright red. "I've heard that humans like this kind of thing, at least that's what it says in my book. I think it might be good to explore such things before I leave this world, you're more attractive than the average Demon. Want to-"
"Eeep! Y-You can't d-do that!"
"Yeah dude, you can't suddenly show off your body!"
Yue added with cheeks dyed red.
"Huh? Why? Isn't that what girls like? That's what I read in my books..."
"In your books...?"
Yue murmured, Nodoka played with her fingers shyly and changed the subject, she was quite embarrassed.
"Y-You want taking to Konoemon-sensei? Y-Y-You saved my life, I'll t-take you as a re-repayment. O-Oh, my name is N-Nodoka Miyazaki...p-please call me Nodoka!"
"Yeah, my name is Yue Ayase, call me Yue. What's your name?"
He paused at that, and then folded his arms.
"My name is...Akuma."
"Akuma-san? That means about Demon's, right?"
Yue observed, Nodoka didn't even think about it.
"That's right, my parents don't like me that much."
Nodoka seemed confused, but she was enamored by the person who had saved her life. So she was alright with it, and got to his side, Yue did as well, seeing how Nodoka was looking towards him, and smiled for her friend. Usually, she was very shy with boys, but it seemed that she was alright with Akuma there.
"T-Then Akuma-kun...w-we should go together..."
Nodoka and Yue (both sharing the load of the books) began walking away so Akuma followed behind them.
"TAKAHATA-SENSEI! TAKAHATA-SENSEI! TAKAHATA-SENSEI!"
Akuma placed a hand to his ear, and winced.
"What is that shrill noise?"
"Sounds like Asuna again. She's quite loud, and loves Takahata-sensei."
Yue answered, while Nodoka kept her eyes on Akuma. He casually glanced out of the corner of his eye towards her, and saw her gaze, and lightly smiled.
"Takahata-sensei, and she's a student, and she loves him?"
"Y-Yes that's right...e-even though he's thirty or something years older than she is...weird, d-don't you think?"
Nodoka added to the conversation, Akuma chuckled lightly.
"Weird indeed. Though, my Father is currently seven hundred years older than my Mother." Both Yue and Nodoka paused, and gave him a weird look. "It is a, joke as the humans would say. As we are, humans."
The pair tilted their heads, while it went over Nodoka's head for the moment, due to what happened, Yue was thinking about what he had said, and wondered why he worded it the way that he did.
Meanwhile, within a cottage seemingly in the woods, a young blonde haired girl named Evangeline felt something run through her. It was cold, and made her body twitch wildly from the feelings that she was having right now.
"What is this feeling...a Demon...no, it is something else..."
"Master, what can I do for you?"
Chachamaru, her robot loyal servant with green hair spoke up towards her, Evangeline however just rolled her eyes.
"Nothing you bucket of bolts." Evangeline waved her hand, and then looked out of her window. "This feeling, it feels as if hell has come to earth...yet, I can't get a good read on it at the same time either. What is going on with this…?"
She kept mumbling to herself, as Chachamaru watched on.
She hadn't seen her Master like this before.
It was as if she was unsure of something, and it was scary…
No, it was something else.
Whatever it was, Evangeline knew that she would have to investigate.
"Chachamaru, go and get me my uniform."
"Master, you are attending class this morning."
Evangeline bit her finger, still looking unsure.
"Yes...no, I don't know yet. Don't question me Chachamaru, and go and get me my uniform immediately."
Chachamaru bowed her head, and left out of the door. Evangeline had finally found something different about the school she had been stuck at for 15 years, and she wasn't going to let this one go away, no matter what else happens.
Meanwhile, Akuma, Yue and Nodoka were walking through the corridors. Girls heads turned at the sight of him. He was an attractive male, bewitchingly so, and they were highschool girls, their hormones were going out of whack, so they were girls that could easily be drawn to such a boy. Yue noticed however that he seemed to take in his surroundings as if he hadn't ever seen such a place before.
"So, y-you're coming here to meet a g-girl?"
Nodoka asked after Akuma finished off speaking to the young girls about what he was there for. He had to omit some stuff, but he got the basic things through.
"That's right. Apparently, I'm going to be meeting a girl for something. That's all. And then, God knows what is going to happen."
"I see, so you're meeting a girl..."
Nodoka seemed to be slightly disheartened, while Yue curiously looked on.
"Yup, my Mother seem to think I need to go to this place to meet a girl, and then I've got to...ugh, this is going to be difficult."
Akuma murmured to himself, while Yue butted in.
"I heard we were getting a new Sensei...though you are a little young for that...maybe you're our new Sensei?"
"I haven't been told yet, I could be, I don't know. Depends on a few things."
Yue slowly nodded, and then stopped outside of a room.
Nodoka then spoke up.
"T-This is it Akuma-kun...t-this is where Konoemon-sensei's office is."
Akuma looked towards the door, and saw the door to the headmasters office as well. Then he cocked his head towards Makie once more, and offered the best smile that he could offer someone due to not being used to it.
"Well, thank you for this Nodoka-san, and Yue-san, you have done a good service. Here, allow me to repay you."
"With your body again?!"
Nodoka blushed up a storm while Yue looked absolutely stunned, Akuma tilting his head.
"Humans, such interesting people. Alright, which part do you want to see? Certainly, I wonder which one you'd like to-"
"No! No! No!" Yue waved her hands frantically. "That's alright! S-She was just curious, weren't you Nodoka?!"
Nodoka merely nodded, her voice failing her.
Akuma furrowed his eyebrows, and then pulled out his wallet. Yue and Nodoka went to stop him, but he pulled out a wad of money, and gave it to them both, the pair's eyes widening at the amount of money that he gave her.
"There, money is good, yes?"
"B-But, this is like thousands! I don't deserve this!"
"W-We can't accept this..."
Nodoka added after Yue, but Akuma cocked his head.
"I see...it's too small? Yes, here, another ten thousand."
True to his words, Nodoka and Yue was given another ten thousand. Yue almost foamed at the mouth at the amount that she was given, while Nodoka almost fainted. But they felt guilty, the amount was so much, they didn't think that they deserved such a thing.
"Sorry dude, but even with this amount it wouldn't be right..."
"S-She's right Akuma-kun, we can't take this much..."
Akuma actually was impressed that they said that. He didn't think that humans would say such things, so he decided to put their minds at ease.
"It's alright, I wouldn't worry about it. Money isn't an issue, even these Japanese yen thingy's, seems trivial for someone like me."
Yue and Nodoka looked at the money, and then towards Akuma and saw how genuine that he was looking. Nodoka then grew a faint blush on her cheeks from seeing his eyes on her form. She shyly put the money away, seeing that he was rejecting it back, and bowed her head.
"T-Thank you very much! I-If I see you again, I'll definitely buy you a p-parfait i-if you would l-like..."
"A...what?"
"Parfait. Haven't you had one before?"
Yue added, Akuma still looked confused.
"Me being confused on what it is would be a sufficient answer, yes?"
Yue scratched the back of her head sheepishly, while Nodoka still looked stunned.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." She then heard a bell go off. "Oops! We have to get to class! Ooh, Akuma-san! I'm...we're in class 2A! If you ever come there, I'm sure we'd be able to speak again!"
"I see, 2A, I understand. Then I'll see you some other time, Yue-san, Nodoka-san."
Nodoka gushed at his smile, and took off running, while Yue glanced at Akuma once more, before she left.
Akuma then looked to the door, and casually opened it. As soon as he did, he entered to see an elderly man with a long white beard, and fluffy eyebrows. The office had a desk in it with the man sat behind it, and a chair on the other side of the desk, and various things decorating the room.
His eyes met with Akuma's, and his head bowed down, giving a form of respect it seemed.
"Your Highness, it is a pleasure to meet you."
"Akuma will do, old human male." The man bowed his head once more. "So, you must be Konoemon Konoe, the headmaster of this establishment. Yes, where is the girl known as Konoka Konoe-chan exactly? I have come to see her."
"Ooh yes. You'll be seeing her soon. I have been in contact with your Mother, and she has instructed me about what has happened with yourself. The curse that you have. It seems that she wishes to have some help."
Akuma rolled his eyes, sitting down on the chair opposite of him.
"Well, she's wasting her time, I've given up on that kind of thing already."
Konoemon stood up and walked to the other side of the desk, and peered into his eyes.
"Given up? Why would you give up Sire-"
"Akuma. Hate being called Sire. As I am, I'm not above anyone."
"Akuma-sama." Akuma shook his head. "A-Akuma-kun." Akuma nodded. "Tell me, what possesses you to give up?"
Akuma let out a breath, and sighed.
"I'm dying, because of you humans. I didn't do anything wrong. To punish my old man, kill off one of his spawn, that's justice for you humans. Now I have to suffer the damn consequences even though my Father hates me anyway, he doesn't care if I live or die."
"But, if you give up now then how could you protect those Demon's you have under you?"
"I have protected them. I might be dying,but I take care of those I care for. But, that's gonna be difficult with this illness...curse is better actually. Cursed to die, suffer pain each time I use my powers. You don't understand what kind of hell, not the good one, I go through because of humans and what they've done to me."
Konoemon, listening to his plight, could understand why he would have a distrust of humans. Why he wouldn't see it as a good thing at all.
"I see, I see. That's quite the bind. I can see why it would be difficult."
"It surely is. The only reason my Father didn't kill me yet is because of my Mother stopping him. I'm already a disgrace for being what I am, can't disgrace him even more, can I? Now, I've got to spend my final days, around the very same human kind that forced me to suffer through this curse."
Konoemon hummed as he listened.
He then leaned forward.
"You know, the girls here are...very zealous. And they are, quite good girls, for pure maiden's, they would be good, yes? The Prince of Demon's is going to give up?"
"Pure maiden's being here huh. Well, even then..."
"Tell me, what is it that you actually need to break this curse exactly?"
"Hmmm, I've got a few things already. Need about five pure maiden's like you said, a person with a high magical healing capability, the blood of an immortal being that isn't blood related which has a good regeneration factor and-"
"The blood of an immortal being with a good regeneration factor. So, would a Vampire do?"
"Vampire...yes, they certainly would do, but what are the odds I'd meet one?"
Konoemon began chuckling.
"Well, there happens to be a Vampire at this school."
"Really now?"
"That's right, her name is Evangeline, and while she might be brash, if you scratch her back, I'm sure she'd be willing to part with some blood. And someone with a high healing potential...well, Konoka would..."
"I already thought about it, but the chances of her being able to do it is hard, it might kill her, and I'll never allow her to die for my sake. That's why I've given up, it would place a great strain on the healer, and could kill that person, I'm not going to allow someone else to die for me, especially Kono-chan."
Konoemon was surprised he said that, but it also gave him hope.
"I see...well, you'll be staying here now...and I have a mage that has just joined as a Sensei. He's an up and coming mage, who's been assigned here as a Sensei of Mahora for the semester, and if he proves to be a good Sensei, then he'll be given a permanent position here. I, am willing to allow you to go to that class, and of course, what your Mother and I have previously discussed about Konoka being a bride for yourself, even if you aren't willing to ask her for help. And also, there are magical attacks that could happen here, and I'd like a Demon Prince protecting my granddaughter."
"Heh, that sounds weird, doesn't it? A Demon guarding a Princess."
Akuma found it rather funny honestly.
However, Konoemon looked serious.
"Perhaps it does yes. However, I heard how you protected Konoka with your life once, why not do so again? Don't you care for Konoka?"
"Caring for her isn't the issue, of course I care about her, I wouldn't want her to be hurt. But, if I'm being forced to stay here, might as well protect her. Heh, maybe Secchan and I could collab or something. But, I'll need a sleeping arrangement, I will not be sleeping outside."
"Aaha, a sleeping arrangement is it? Then that's alright, I'll give you the finer details for that. For now, why don't you go and visit your class?"
"My...class?"
Akuma muttered with confusion.
Konoemon inclined his head.
"That's right, you'll be attending class as well. 2A, that's your class as well~ Negi-kun shall be there right now, I'm sure he's having quite a bit of fun."
"2A, that sounds familiar, I feel like I've heard that before...hmmmm...did those girls speak about that..."
"Girls? What girls?"
Akuma furrowed his eyebrows, trying to remember the name.
"Oh...erm, that girl, Nodoka Miyazaki-san and her friend, Yue Ayase-san, they brought me here after everything that went down. I found them quite interesting."
"Ooh right, I understand! Yes, they're in that class as well. You never know, she might make a good partner for you if you protect her well~ Well, best get to the class. Here, a map. It will direct you to the classroom. Negi-kun should already be there, with his students. I'm sure that once the girls see you, you'll be the hit of the ball Sire."
"Akuma."
"Y-Yes, of course Akuma-kun."
Akuma rolled his eyes, and lifted his bags up, accepting the map, and left the room.
Konoemon looked on at the disappearing form of Akuma going down the corridor, and held a finger to his chin.
"He seems quite cold and uncaring, but being in his situation, who wouldn't be cold? Being in the presence of humans, when humans have sentenced him to die for being apart of his family, and even his family barring his Mother seem to hate him. It must be tough for any young mind to deal with...and his Father is truly terrifying. If we're to keep him at bay, I need to keep that boy alive, and that means having him find eight girls to unlock his abilities, and if it awakens the humanity within him, he'd definitely be a very good asset to this world. I have to leave it to the girls to accomplish this task, they only can, don't let me down girls."
Konoemon prayed within his heart, and just hoped that he'd be able to see his humanity, if only to save destruction from his Father.
Meanwhile, in 2A, Negi, the young boy Akuma ran into before was being 'attacked' by the girls that found him cute, or adorable, or anything like that. He was being hugged tightly, while a girl with bells in her hair, and a girl with long blonde hair, were having an argument about Negi, but not in the usual way.
Though Nodoka, she looked at the money that she had been given by Akuma and couldn't believe it.
She wondered if she would see him again.
She quite liked him.
She found him fascinating honestly.
The way that he spoke, and how he was able to do things that she couldn't explain.
"Honya-chan, where did you get that money?"
Haruna, a girl with green hair, and a cowlick asked, causing tghe young girl to jump.
"H-Haruna! Y-You see, w-well I was helping a b-boy, and he gave me the money...e-even Y-Yue-san as well."
"It's true, we helped him and he gave us this money. Weird thing was, he didn't seem to care about it either. Most people would care, but he just splashed the cash...yet, he wasn't cocky...honestly, it was like a person seeing a new place for the first time..."
"'Helping' him?" Kazumi, a girl with red hair came closer with her camera. "How did you two 'help' him exactly?"
She thought that it was for less than, good girl reasons, by the way that she was speaking.
However, Nodoka set them straight.
"F-For helping him m-meet D-Dean Konoemon! T-That's all!"
Nodoka didn't notice their hidden meaning, and because she was so honest, it was clear that she wasn't lying at all. But still, they had to wonder who she could have met to see such a person who would casually give thousands away as if it wasn't a big deal at all.
"Wow, so was he hot? Did he have a good chest? Butt maybe?"
"H-Haruna!"
Nodoka snapped shyly, Yue shaking her head.
"Alright Paru, leave Nodoka alone."
"Awww, and I wanted to know where she met such a guy. Isn't she supposed to be scared of guys or something?"
Haruna pouted.
However, they all stopped when the door opened.
Turning to the door, Akuma walked through the door, and it looked as if sparkles are going off around his body. He walked slowly, his eyes scanning over the class. One member of the class, a girl called Mana gasped at seeing him.
She then pulled out her phone, and logged into a database about threats to the magic world, and saw Akuma's picture there. It was from a few years ago, but there was no mistaken, the bewitching handsome face, and the way that his eyes looked like deep blood.
"He's a dangerous opponent...I knew, I knew that face...the Demonic Prince, Akuma. He's got a high bounty on his head from the mages. If I take him out now, then I'll be getting that bounty. He made the mistake of coming here, I shall be going to be taking that boy right now."
Mana thought to herself, while Zazie, another girl in the class, looked on with surprise at the young boy walking through the door. She didn't say anything, but her fingertips brushed against one another.
His eyes went towards Zazie, who looked back calmly.
Though they didn't speak, it was as if their eyes had a small conversation between them, soon they stopped looking at one another though.
Setsuna, another girl within the class, who had a sideways ponytail, looked completely shocked at seeing Akuma stepping through the door. She didn't think that she'd ever see him again and now complex feelings were running through her system.
"Wow...he kinda reminds me of Daddy with his presence..."
Yuna, a girl with a small sideways ponytail murmured, as she looked at Akuma, the young boy just gave a small smile towards her. But then he paused, and smirked, moving closer towards Yuna.
Yuna was taken aback as he moved closer, taking her hand, and stared into her eyes, a weird magical pattern being shown briefly within his eyes. He didn't say anything, but he smiled towards her, which made her blush lightly.
Ayaka, her eyes immediately went towards Akuma, and she wasn't happy about seeing another male. She was too concentrated on Negi more than anything else.
"Ooh my God, who's the hottie~? Damn, he looks cute..."
Kazumi gushed, while Yue and Nodoka were very surprised.
"Akuma-san. You're here."
Akuma paused, as a girl with long brown hair ears perked.
Her eyes went towards Akuma, and her heart felt like it stopped.
Akuma's eyes turned towards Yue and Nodoka near her, and he gave the slightest of smiles as he placed his bags down.
"Yue-san, Nodoka-san, hello again. I've come to see you both. Well you and some others anyway."
"R-Really?"
Yue murmured, while Nodoka shyly poked her fingers together.
Akuma continued to smile, while Haruna looked ready to jump him.
"Geez, why wasn't I there when you met him? He's freaking a total Bishounen!"
"Paru, he's a guy, not some object for you to gaze at."
"I'd say he's both Yue-chi. Just look at him, he's so in shape..." Her eyes went up and down his body, while Yue shook her head at her more perverted friend. "Yeah, that's it, I've decided to have a good time with him."
Haruna licked her lips happily, Yue shuddered, while Nodoka kept her eyes on his form.
Akuma continued walking through the classroom, glanced at Negi, and tilted his head.
"Oh, so you're the little boy Konoemon was speaking about then. I saw you before, didn't I?" He moved closer to Negi, and bent down to his level. "You remind me of someone, but completely different. Hmmmm, I don't know, something is weird about you boy..."
"A-Ah...erm, n-nice to meet you! My name is Negi Springfield!"
"Springfield...and that hair colour...Negi huh...hmmmm...Nagi...Negi..."
Negi watched as he pulled back, and cocked his head.
Asuna's eyes went towards the boy and she didn't look pleased.
"Who the hell is he? Not another Sensei...Takahata-sensei! Please tell me that he isn't another one! I can't deal with the child, now you're telling me some Bishounen is going to be joining the class!?"
She complained, but Takahata, the oldest male in the room, shook his head.
"Girls, not only are you gaining Negi-kun here as a Sensei, you're also having another student within the class. His name is Akuma-sama-" Akuma gave him a look. "Akuma-kun, and he's-"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Konoka yelled out, and rushed towards Akuma, leaping into his arms. "Aku-chan! Aku-chan! You're really here! I-It's you, right!? Your hair is the same, a-and you're really here?!"
"Yeah, it's me, Kono-chan. Been a while, hasn't it?"
He said with a gentle smile, brushing her face as tears came to her eyes.
"A-Aku-chan, i-is really here, a-and you're...Aku-chan...t-the hair a-and the eyes, y-you're the same Aku-chan..."
"That's me, Kono-chan, that's who I am, and you look the same...no, you've grown even more beautiful than I remember."
Konoka's cheeks turned slightly red, while Nodoka cocked her head to the side, looking unsure.
"Aku-chan...yo-you've grown even m-more handsome…I-I really m-missed Aku-chan...a-and then there's S-Secchan and..."
Tears formed at her eyes, so the boy brushed her eyes with his fingers.
"Shhh now, don't cry. It's alright, I'm here now. I make bad things go away, remember?"
Konoka giggled, hiccuping slightly, while the girls thought that it looked like a romantic drama was playing out in front of them. The way that he held Konoka, passionately, and how she stared at him as well.
"Aku-chan, I've missed you…"
"Yeah, I missed you too Kono-chan, more than you know."
He admitted, surprising even himself.
He didn't expect to feel anything like this, but his emotions were on high all of a sudden, and maybe it was because of Konoka.
"But, what are you doing here Aku-chan? Not that I'm not thrilled, because I am, but Aku-chan is here, and I don't get it..."
"Well, long story short. I go here now, to this school..." His eyes went over the entire class. "...Apparently, all female school. Well, that is okay with me. My last school taught me the meaning of pain. I'm sure this will teach me the meaning of happiness or something."
"Ooh Aku-chan, you're as weird as ever~"
Akuma smiled towards her, and felt his heart fluttering. He remembered Konoka, quite well now. And seeing her brought back the memories from the past, and how they made him feel as well. He was sure that if anything, Konoka was the only female that he probably would love right now. He didn't have the best opinions on humans, but Konoka...she was kind to him once, and he was grateful.
"Kono-chan, do you feel this?" He took her hand, and placed it on his chest. "It's beating really fast. I remember when we were little, do you remember when we were playing together, and we fell down onto one another?"
"Y-Yes Aku-chan..."
He leaned forward, his fingers continuing brushing her face.
"I remember, we were going to do something, maybe we should finish that off..."
"Aku-chan..."
Konoka saw his lips pursing, so hers did as well.
Blushes erupted over the classes faces, seeing how they were going to kiss one another so suddenly.
"My, it seems that Konoka has a boyfriend~"
Kazumi sang out, while Haruna clicked her fingers.
"Damn, she would do something like that, wouldn't she? She'd have the hottie to herself."
"T-They're actually going to kiss...w-well, Ojou-sama always did like Aku...Akuma-san so..."
Setsuna thought while seeing Konoka and Akuma becoming closer and closer, almost to the point that their lips would touch one another's.
Setsuna's thoughts were cut off when Mana leaped forward, and aimed a gun for Akuma's head. She pulled the trigger, and a real life bullet came out, Akuma smirking as he pulled away from Konoka, the bullet merely missing him by inches, and danced to the left by rapidly, avoiding several bullets that could have touched his form which broke some of the wall with the powerful impact that they had, while the others were stunned.
"D-Did she just fire a real gun?!"
Kazumi yelled, Haruna shaking her head side to side.
"I-It must be a pellet gun!"
"Or a toy gun!"
Ayaka, a blonde haired girl hugging Negi, rationalized, Konoka looking worried towards Akuma with concern.
"Don't worry Kono-chan, I'm fine."
She looked relieved, as he dodged another bullet. But then one came for his forehead.
He grimaced at the sight, and inhaled slowly, while whispering a spell.
"Basilisk, Lizard with Eight Legs and Evil Eyes. Breathe out the time-stealing poison. Breath of Stone."
From his mouth, a cloud of air came out, and the bullets shot for his head, began to turn into stone. Negi was excited to see that, he didn't even think about the fact that Akuma just used magic, the others didn't even seem to notice, or care, that Akuma was breathing like that, and Akuma grabbed the stone bullets out of the air and placed them in his pocket.
Mana couldn't believe that he could chant that while dodging as she stopped her bullets.
But, Akuma felt pain running through him from using magic, leaning his hand on a nearby table.
He gave off a smirk towards Mana who glared back.
"Takes a little more than that bounty hunter. Even as I am, don't expect me to come quietly." Mana's eyes sharpened, and then she kicked a nearby desk towards Akuma. "Great, forcing me to use more of my power today, it hurts you know? Just used some then to avoid your damn bullets..."
Akuma inhaled slowly, and got into a fighting style.
Negi looked on with shiny eyes as his fight tightened, and he saw some air gathering around his hand, and he wasn't chanting anything, besides one word.
"Wind!"
His fist went forward, and the magic energy blew the desk right backwards, without shattering it, and sent it towards Mana who ducked the table, only to see Akuma waving towards her, Negi looked on with surprise, he had found another mage already, he needed to speak with Akuma.
Ku Fei, a Chinese girl within the class, her eyes lit up when seeing that.
"He fights aru. I shall challenge him."
Ku Fei leaped from her seat, and did a flying kick towards Akuma. The young boy turned to Ku Fei, just in time to raise his leg, and block the kick coming for him, push her away, only to avoid Mana coming in kicking towards him.
"Not bad, girl."
He flipped backwards onto Yue's desk, then did a back flip, his hands touching another girls desk, and then flipped onto another girls desk, as Ku Fei sent a volley of punches towards his body.
"You good aru. I feel it, I wish to challenge you to a fight."
"You already are challenging me to a fight."
He sweat dropped, seeing her fists coming for him.
"Yes, you right aru! I will fight you now aru!"
Ku Fei demanded, Akuma moving side to side to avoid the punches, then Mana came in with a sweeping kick for his head, so using his brain, he ducked and pushed Ku Fei from behind forward, Mana catching her with her foot, surprising her, then Akuma managed to do a palm strike against Mana's body, her body being forced to the front of the desk, the young boy panting a little more.
"You aren't bad for a normal human, you're quite strong."
He praised Ku Fei who looked ready to fight even more, as he jumped off the desk, and walked to the front of the classroom...
But he felt the pain come through him, and he leaned forward, catching the desk with his hand, panting slightly, Konoka gasping, while Setsuna looked confused why he seemed to be in pain.
"A-Aku-chan, are you okay?"
He raised his finger, then released a breath.
"Yes, I'm alright, don't worry about me Kono-chan. Just feel a bit sick. Other than that, I'm peachy keen."
Akuma stood up tall, and then got to the front, seeing Mana glaring him down.
Negi however watched with amazement at how he fought so well while being attacked by two people at the same time.
"A-Amazing! You know how to fight as well?!"
"Yes, that's right little boy. Ugh, using more of my power. I only have a good pain threshold, could you please stop attacking me?" He asked Mana, but she didn't seem like she was going to stop. Setsuna leaped forward, and wrapped her arms around Akuma's neck, pulling him backwards. "Hello to you too Secchan~ Been a while~"
"A-Akuma-san...please come this way immediately!" She bowed her head towards the class. "Sorry! I have to speak with him!"
She dragged Akuma out of the room while Konoka called "Secchan!" but to no avail. Mana dashed out of the room as well, wielding her guns. The other students watched on and wondered what the heck was going on.
Outside of the classroom, Setsuna released him from her captivity, but Mana pulled up, and held the gun to his forehead, he felt the coldness of the steel, she wasn't messing around it seems.
"My oh my, seems like half Demon girl here wishes to shoot me Secchan. How cruel. She even used spell breaker bullets on me, would've done some serious damage. Could've killed me."
"How do you know of my status?"
"I have the Demon Eyes, allows me to see things that aren't normal, see different auras, among spirits and such. Did that answer your question?"
"Don't push your luck Demon Prince, I know who you are. There's a bounty on your head, a large one. If I take your dead body in, I'll be rich for life, and keep others safe from your demonic presence. I'll tell you the name of your killer, it is Mana Tatsumiya."
"Nice to meet you Tatsumiya-san, but you wont be killing me, because I'm a good boy, and haven't done anything wrong."
Akuma giggled out, genuinely enjoying himself.
"Good boy? You are a monster."
Mana said with an aggressive voice.
Akuma just shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, you're part monster then half Demon girl. Just like me huh~? Guess we have that in common. We should get together, and speak about our experiences." Mana pushed the gun against his skull even more, the boy letting out a chuckle. "Or not. Also, you just attacked in front of a bunch of normal humans as well, so you call me a monster, you endangered peoples lives."
Mana hated admitting that he was right about what he said, and it wasn't exactly something that she liked either.
Setsuna, worried for Akuma, spoke her mind.
"Tatsumiya-san, Aku-cha….Akuma-san isn't a bad person, please don't point your gun at him like that. Don't shoot him, he's a...he's someone that I know."
"Sakurazaki-san, that's not right. You don't know, he's the son of-"
"I know who is Father is, and if I didn't know him, then I'd be on the same boat as you. But, I do know him, and while he's unpredictable, he's also dependable, and he's protected Ojou-sama before, he protected her with his life at one point, and nearly died as a result when I couldn't save her...but Tatsumiya-san, whatever you think about him-"
"He's done many crimes!" Mana argued, Setsuna furrowing her brows. "He's committed theft."
"They stole from my subjects, so I stole it back."
"Arson."
"Only because they tried to burn me, turned the spell back on them, and burned their house down."
"Murder!"
"I've never killed anyone. That's my families business, not mine. You wanna meet bad people? Go talk to my Father, talk about crazy."
He answered swiftly, Mana shaking her head.
"You have an answer for everything, don't you?"
"Because it is the truth. I'm not going to lie with a gun pointed at my head, am I? I'm not a killer. Too messy, I just prefer staying away from that line of work honestly." He casually answered, Mana sharpening her eyes. "You know, I could get out of this."
"Yeah, I'd like to see you try."
"Alright then."
Suddenly, Akuma body sank through a shadow, shocking Mana. She pulled the trigger, but he was already through the shadow, and appeared behind her body, giving her a tap on the shoulder, Mana jumped backwards, and glared hard. However, she saw Setsuna seemed like she wouldn't allow Mana to attack him, so she had to back down.
"I'm watching you, Demon Prince."
"I'm watching you too, half Demon girl." Mana growled, and went back into the classroom, concealing her gun. Setsuna shook her head with slight annoyance. "What? It sounded cool."
"Well it wasn't." Akuma snickered while Setsuna folded her arms. "Akuma-san. Not that I am happy to see you, but what are you doing here? In fact, why did you feel pain when you used magic in class then?"
"Well, I'll give you a cliff-notes version if you're interested."
He answered nonchalantly, confusing Setsuna.
So, he briefly ran through what had happened, and she listened intently. Once he was finished, she actually did feel sorry for his own situation.
"So, that's how it is."
"I-I see, I'm sorry that you a-are going through that, but about Ojou-sama...because of Ojou-sama, and her powers, her Father doesn't want her powers to be unlocked."
"I see. I personally think that it would be a waste, because I just sensed her power, and it is huge, she'd be a great asset. Hey, while I'm here, wanna become my Pactio partner? We always had a little something, something going on, didn't we? Remember when you ran after me, and tried to cut me down with a sword after you found out I was a Demon, hilarity ensued."
Setsuna's cheeks flashed a few shades of red, before shaking her head again and again.
"N-No, I couldn't!"
"You sure Secchan? Could be a power boost to protect Kono-chan. A weapon for you that could give you strong powers. The Artifact would be good considering you and I, and feelings and other things as well. You still into that by the way? Protecting Kono-chan I mean."
Setsuna's scrutinizing gaze fell upon him. Though for a brief moment, she could see the benefits of it.
But she'd have to kiss Akuma.
Could she kiss him to achieve that?
She was sure that she might, but she didn't fully know.
But, her cheeks had darkened a little with redness.
"It is my duty to protect Ojou-sama, so of course I'm still 'into that' you know? B-Besides, I couldn't betray Ojou-sama like that, since she has feelings for you...I wouldn't be able to betray her like that."
"If that's how you feel, then I can't change that. I can give you advice, it's how I survived stronger threats, and how I kept my Kingdom going. Some people call me a great strategist, I know how to make little things better than they usually would be. I could help you with that regarding your own skills."
"...That actually would be good, thank you. Also, we can't expose magic to the entire class. Understand?"
"Aye Captain. I'll do as you asked~ I wont expose magic to the class again if I can help it, though I am gonna search for Pactio partners for various reasons, so I'll have to expose it eventually, but I wont cause a mess like that was then, like that girl who tried to kill me. Sorry about that, this is all new to me, being around humans is really strange."
"Yes, I realize that Akuma-san, but if you're staying in the human world now, you'll have to become accustomed to being around humans."
"I know, I'm trying my best, I just don't understand things from the human world. Give me a nation to fight any day, with an army than telling me what a Britney Spears is...speaking of, Secchan, what's Britney Spears? People kept talking about it...so, it confuses me what this Britney Spears is."
Setsuna furrowed her eyebrows, and resisted the urge to giggle.
"She's a singer, she's quite popular with the girls in our class."
"Do you like her?"
"I don't have time for such things."
"I see, makes sense, I suppose." Setsuna went towards the entrance of the classroom again after saying that. "Missed you Secchan."
Setsuna turned towards him, and saw his smile.
"R-Really?"
"Hey, I might be a Demon, but I don't lie about things like that. You, and Kono-chan are the two humans that I actually like, even if one of them is a little crow~ By the way, I don't know why you dye your hair, and wear coloured contacts, I think going natural is much better."
Briefly, she felt her cheeks turning red, before shaking her head, and walked through the door once more.
Akuma chuckled, and walked through the door.
Upon entering, he saw Negi giving him a weird look, while Akuma himself just stared on towards the class. He saw Konoka looked concerned, but he waved his hand, showing that he was alright from what happened.
His eyes went towards the side, and saw a girl who no one else could.
"So, there's a ghost within the class, is there? This school is full of surprises. I wonder if she wants to pass on? I could help her with that if she likes. Or, give her a body again, shouldn't be that hard. But, Ghosts, Demon's, both half and full, mage's with sealed powers, Secchan with her status, and then there's that other girl..."
His eyes went towards Asuna who looked back harshly.
"Something wrong pal?"
She asked rather harshly, but he gained a smirk.
"Oh nothing is wrong at all. You're just, interesting."
Asuna's wondered what he meant by that.
Ayaka then stormed over, and pointed a finger at him.
"This is a school for girls! You shouldn't be here! Leave immediately!"
Akuma looked towards her, and held a smile…
But then he decided to play around, so he adopted tears by his eyes.
Some of the girls placed hands over their hearts, and watched as he gently shed some tears, Ayaka felt eyes on her form, Konoka didn't look happy at all.
"Y-You know, I'm just a boy t-that's trying to get through l-life, and then suddenly, I'm attacked with a paint gun by a girl, then kung fu or something from the Chinese girl, and then someone strangles me for no reason with some weird little boy is looking at me with his creepy fixating gaze!" Negi chuckled sheepishly. "A-And now, you're bullying me...b-because I happen to be a boy...it isn't my fault I was born like this..."
Konoka shaking her head in disappointment.
"Iincho, please don't bully Aku-chan, he's a good boy."
Ayaka looked stunned. She wasn't sure what she would do now.
"B-But, he's a boy and..."
"I'm a human who loves humans Iincho, if in fact that is your real name." His accusing eyes made Ayaka feel unsure. "So, please don't bully me." His eyes danced between Negi and Ayaka. "I sense a great attraction for you from her." Ayaka's cheeks turned wild with redness, Asuna slowly nodding her head, agreeing with everything that he was saying, she actually found him quite funny. "I'm sure you two would be great together, clearly you already like one another. I can tell, you'd be a great couple."
Asuna burst into laughter as he put his thumb up to Ayaka.
Ayaka looked down at Negi, and blushed brightly, while Negi poked his fingers together shyly.
"...Clearly I have misjudged you! S-Seeing my affections for Negi-sensei already! What an eye for affection Akuma-san!"
Akuma chuckled, petting her head.
"Thank you Iincho." Ayaka pulled away while Asuna continued to giggle. "Hello class, what you saw then from that girl, Mana Tatsumiya-san, she wished to play a game with me because she's fun loving, apparently, and shot strong paint bullets, apparently the same colour as the wall and could dent the wall~ She really should have minded her Mana's~ Hahaha~"
He sang out, while his eyes met Mana's, Mana didn't look pleased while he was giving off a smile, while Setsuna shook her head at the bad pun he made.
"Aaah, that makes sense~"
Kazumi sang out, while Yue looked on with suspicious eyes.
She didn't quite believe it.
There was something going on, she just didn't know what it was yet.
"So, questions, answers. I've read in my books that people do that in human schools. So ask away anyone that wants some answers, I'll do it to the best of my ability."
The class looked on baffled, but then Kazumi stepped forward.
"Kazumi Asakura, class reporter and future journalist. I've got some questions for you."
"Shoot. Just not with a gun."
His eyes went towards Mana when he said that, who narrowed her eyes at him.
"Alright. Your age." Akuma furrowed his eyebrows and didn't answer for over a minute. Kazumi became worried, so she spoke up. "S-So, your age is..."
"Yeah, I'm thinking."
"Y-You have to think about how old you are?"
Kazumi sweat dropped, but Akuma shook his head.
"No, I'm thinking about something else. Aah well, I'm 15 years old."
[Gaaak!]
The class did a face fault against the ground, while Akuma just smiled onwards.
"O-Okay, and you come from…? You're..."
"I am from the South, the Deep South hehehe~"
Kazumi wondered why that was funny, but she didn't press it anymore.
"R-Right, so, why are you in Mahora?"
"Good question...actually, first of all, I'd also like to join Tweetor, and send twits out, would someone help me with that?"
Since he didn't live in the human world, he was bound to get things wrong after all.
The class looked confused, and Chisame, a girl with glasses, furrowed her eyebrows.
"You mean Twitter and tweets?"
Akuma hummed, and looked towards Setsuna unsure, the girl nodded, so he did as well.
"Yes, Twitter, and sending out twits...no, tweets, yes, that is what I would like to do. Any helpers out there want to help me join Twitter?"
Konoka giggled, and jumped onto the table, and smiled towards him.
"Don't worry Aku-chan, I'll help you join Twitter~"
"Awww, thank you. I've always been into this media social since I saw it on the internet once, and I want to connect to others as well as send out twits...tweets."
"Social media."
Konoka corrected, Akuma continued to smile.
"Yes, that as well~"
Konoka sweat dropped, but found it quite funny that he didn't get it fully right, but she understood what he was speaking about.
"Now back to what I was saying before, I need some partners." The girls cocked their heads, while Akuma jumped onto Negi's desk, and smirked to the crowd while Asuna's hair was getting to Negi's nostrils, causing him to sniffle a little. "You see, I am looking for someone. But not just any someone. I'm looking for special people that are willing to become my partners."
"P-Partners!?"
Kazumi spat out, Nodoka looked interested, pulling forward shyly.
"W-What kind of partners Akuma-kun?"
Akuma continued to smirk, while Setsuna sighed openly.
"Partners in life of course~" Negi now knew what Akuma was talking about, he was looking for a Pactio partner. "But, not just any partners, we'll be joining on an emotional level, a physical level, that's what happens in those types of relationships, I read it in my book. So, why don't we all become better acquainted ladies?"
The class looked on for a few moments, and thought about what he said.
But then some of them grinned wildly.
[YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!]
The girls yelled out, some of the more zany ones anyway.
However, Negi's nose twitched around, and his head was aimed at Akuma.
"Achoo!"
With one fell swoop, it happened.
Intense winds erupted out of Negi's mouth, and washed over Akuma, and unfortunately, his clothes all came flying off.
Akuma looked up at his shirt, pants, and underwear flew into the air, the girls eyes widened, and blushes, and even nose bleeds came over them all.
"My, seems like my clothes have gone."
He chuckled out calmly.
[HOLY CRAP!]
The girls yelled, taking in the sights. His naked chest, hips, penis, and butt as well.
Setsuna's cheeks turned red, and she looked away. But, her eyes kept drifting to the naked male, which she hated about herself that she was actually checking him out.
Nodoka covered her eyes, but she peaked through her fingers, looking at the naked male.
Her blushing intensified, and then she passed out, with blood running out of her nose.
"Honya's been knocked out!"
A girl named Ako cried, before she was herself knocked out due to seeing the sights of Akuma's body, blood gushing from her nose.
"Awwwww, he's so cute~ And manly as well~"
Makie, a girl with pink hair gushed out.
Yue stared blankly, not sure what she was supposed to do, but she blushed intensely.
Konoka recovered, and took his hands, and put them downwards, covering a certain male part of his.
"Aku-chan, keep your hands there, okay?"
"Hmmm? Why?"
"B-Because these naughty girls might do something! A-And I can't have Aku-chan stained by them! You're too pure!"
Akuma hummed, but did as she asked for the moment, though he wasn't embarrassed.
Haruna then came towards him without a word. Dramatically, she hugged the naked Akuma, and cried tears of joy, but Konoka ripped Haruna off of his body.
"C-Can I draw you please?"
"Eeh..."
When Akuma went to answer, Haruna foamed at the mouth, and passed out, blood running from her nose, but she had a fat smile on her face.
"She's been knocked into a horny coma~"
Konoka giggled out, her face blushing madly at Akuma's body.
Chisame, the girl from before, blushed wildly and blood came from her nose.
"Geez, this guy is a complete weirdo! But, I bet he'd pull a good crowd with a face and body like that if I need a partner with Chiu..."
She thought to herself, as a girl with freckles on her face blushed.
"Chizu-nee! H-He's..."
"Don't be embarrassed Natsumi-chan, he's showing us the male form, and what a male form he has shown as well."
Chizuru, the girl with the largest breast size in the class muttered out, trying to keep her face calm, but it was hard.
Kazumi took out her camera to take a picture...
But one look from Konoka made her lower it slowly.
"Damn..."
Kazumi muttered sadly.
He didn't even try and hide himself, which some girls were very glad about, while Takahata looked confused.
"Usually, people try and hide themselves in these situations, before someone tells them too."
"I've got nothing to be ashamed of. My body is in shape, my stomach is flat with some muscle, my penis is a good size, as is my butt as well. Embarrassment doesn't happen to me easily, human male."
He answered Takahata who shook his head.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR CLOTHING!?"
Asuna cried out, Akuma shrugged his shoulders.
"I guess they wanted to break free, or someone perverted forced them off me." His eyes went towards Negi who covered his eyes. "Seems like we'll have to have a talk later on. Naughty child, stripping me like that."
Negi knew that was directed at him, so he chuckled awkwardly, while Asuna raged on.
"EVEN THEN! YOU ARE NAKED IN FRONT OF GIRLS! PERVERT!"
"Technically, you're perverted if you're staring at me, I didn't choose for my clothes to come off, you have a choice to cover your eyes, yet you aren't."
Asuna's cheeks flared red, and covered her eyes.
But, she peaked through her fingers, Akuma tilting his head.
"You're still looking."
"SHUT UP!"
Asuna snapped while blushing madly.
Konoka's body twitched around happily at the sights of the naked Akuma.
"A-Aku-chan! Showing others your body like that! How did that happen anyway!?"
"I guess someone's naughty enough to take my clothing off me."
"Ooh Aku-chan! I'm sorry naughty people took your clothing! Lets get you dressed, okay Aku-chan?!"
He shrugged, and looked at the crowd of girls who had their eyes fixated on his form. Nose bleeds, perverted looks, and other things came from the girls in the class.
"It seems that they want me to remain naked."
"Well, you can't Aku-chan! They're bad girls!"
"If you say so. Though since I've revealed all, unwillingly by a weird child, we'll have to talk partners soon enough."
"Good, then please only show me your...I mean, please get dressed Aku-chan!"
Konoka recovered, continuing to blush.
Akuma went towards his clothing, while Konoka looked at him picking up his clothing, and murmured "Nice butt." as she checked him out from behind, Akuma having heard what she said, and turned towards her, smirking, causing Konoka to feel ashamed of what she said.
"Kono-chan, don't be ashamed, if we're getting married, then we'll see one another naked."
"M-Married?!"
"Yeah...seems like we'll have to chat about that."
Konoka was sent into a wondrous dream, imagining her wedding to Akuma, while he himself just began getting dressed.
While he was getting dressed, Evangeline and Chachamaru looked on from a distance.
Evangeline didn't seem to be pleased, and folded her arms.
"That boy...he's clearly something different...but, what and who is he…? I've seen a face like his before, but that hair colour reminds me of something... but where have I seen it...what Demon was it again that had that hair colour...and those red eyes as well..."
"Master, what are we going to do about this boy?"
Evangeline placed a finger to her chin and thought.
"It seems that he's also into some trouble based on what I can see, I've seen something like that before. Perhaps, along with that Springfield brat, I'll be finally able to escape this hell. Hehehe, I'll just have to confirm a few things before it goes out of control. If I'm right, then me, and that guy there, can certainly help one another."
Evangeline had made her vow, and she was about ready to do what she needed to do.
She definitely was going to find out about Akuma, no matter what.
And if it could help her escape her hell, then she'd be very happy.
"Master, when he was stripped, you focused a lot on his hip area, both front and back."
Eva's cheeks flushed.
"S-Shut up Chachamaru! That's not your business!"
Chachamaru cocked her head, while Eva continued to blush lightly.
End chapter!
So, I've been rereading the Negima manga again after getting a few suggestions for a story, and remembered how good it really was, and how the system of magic worked, I always found that intriguing and the Pactio system with the partners, and fighting together with them. The first part of Negima was mostly fanservice and that's great, and later it gets quite good with good action, so I thought about doing a story about it, and here we go, a mix of action, comedy, and romance. I suppose this could be considered a successor to my other Negima fic, though this has some different things changed, like being more light hearted, and other things we'll find out about~
For those who haven't read the manga, I'd say give it a shot at least. Also been reading UQ Holder, the sequel to Negima, and I quite like it, I'd suggest reading that as well, though what happens in that doesn't affect anything in this story, so any things happening there, can and most likely will be changed here.
Anyway, Akuma is someone right now who doesn't really have a care for humans, due to what happened to him, and how his family, at least his Father, treats him. He's quite forward with the way he thinks, he doesn't really care about holding back, he's just quite honest about his thoughts and feelings, but as the story goes, we'll see him transition into a more caring person for humans and other people. Right now, he's been cursed with being in pain each time he casts magic. Right now, he's stronger than Negi, though because of the curse, he suffers a lot. At full power, no hold back, he'd be quite powerful, but would still have trouble with stronger beings in the series, and he'll still have a need for Partners as goes through the story, and use his demonic powers as well in the future. And for spells, I'll be using the various English translations that I can find for them, makes it easier for me to write down. The people that cursed him will also come into play later on as well.
Though right now, he has a soft spot for Konoka, and Setsuna as he knew them from a long time ago, he even tried to form a Pactio with both of them, in different ways, more of that shall be explored later on. Mana...yeah, she hates him a lot due to what she believes to be true about him, and might try and capture/kill him a few more times in the story. Zazie and Akuma, they seem to at least be knowledgeable about one another as well since they're both Demons and all. He's quite forward, without realizing due to not being accustomed to human interactions so get's a few things wrong from some outdated, and some funny misprinted, reference books, along with not being embarrassed while naked, which the girls seemed to really appreciate.
As for Negi, don't worry he's gonna get plenty of screen-time and good Pactio partners, in time Akuma will come to see him as someone he can respect, and might teach him a thing or two.
As for Akuma, he's gonna have a good number Pactio partners, and so far, the only ones I've confirmed are gonna be Nodoka, Yue, Konoka and Setsuna. Even though these girls have canon Artifact's, they might be gaining different ones, or ones that are a level above what they've received in canon due to a number of factors.
I've thought about Evangeline, as a Pactio partner, either having Eva be the one who gives Akuma an artifact, or it working both ways where they both get artifact's, or just Eva receiving an artifact from Akuma.
For Negi, I've got Asuna, Anya, Kaede, Ayaka and Akira. Some like Ayaka and Akira will get their Pactio's before they did in canon, and Anya, I've got a cool Pactio idea for her, it's too bad she didn't get much within the series itself but here she will.
I'd like your suggestions for both boys! Right now, the girls in the Pactio group, will stay where they are, so they're fixed. Though there are plenty of awesome girls like Makie, Ako, Chisame, Ku Fei and others as well. Even girls that didn't get much shine in the series like Fuka, Fumika, Sayo, Chizuru, Natsumi and others as well.
So yeah, thanks for reading everyone, let me know your thoughts and until next time!
