PRE-NOTES: I think this is the first serious crossover I'm doing. I'm screwed. Anyway I don't own Negima and the other stuff I'm crossing over in this thing. I'm not up to date with Negima now-a-days. The last chapter I read was when Chao was kicking ass left and right in the school fest.
Just so you guys know: one scene break is for flash backs, three is for switch scene and/or POV change, ""is for dialogue, '' is for thought

He didn't like this. Nope, not at all. Sure, he was forced into it but did it really have to come down to this? Neku Sakuraba, born and raised in Shibuya, emo-teen, likes only certain people, dislikes a majority of people but not too much, orange spikey hair, loves his head phones and grafitti artist CAT. Now with this description, can you imagine why he is now reporting in to teach at an all-girl's school? In front of its old headmaster with eyebrows as long as his beard and wrinkles so numerous you wouldn't be able to tell where his eye were if those eyebrows weren't so prominent. The room seemed to suit the atmosphere the old man had around him though, majestic,wise and eccentric, with two floors, various astrology related gadgets and a wide stargazing window that had a great view behind his chair and work desk.
"I'm sure you've been informed of the circumstances Sakuraba-san", the headmaster Konoemon spoke like the cheery old man he was.
"Yeah I did", Neku crossed his arms across his chest. "So that's it?", the orange-haired teen asked.
"No, I was instructed by your liaison to give you something", the old man nodded. "Shizuna, if you would be so kind.", he gestured to the buxom blonde at his side.
The blonde woman dressed in a pink sweater and brown skirt with white heels and glasses hefted a rather standard suit case before the teen.
"Thank you", the old man nodded to her.
"No problem headmaster Konoemon", the woman bowed.
Neku opened the suitcase and scanned the contents. "What is this?", the teen held up a purple suit jacket.
"It's your new uniform. A teacher must look presentable after all", the old man smiled through his wrinkles.
"What's wrong with my outfit?", Neku looked down at his attire of a sleeveless violet hoody with yellow designs, purple headphones around his neck, white baggy shorts with violet designs around the edges and even more purple was his sneakers and a fingerless glove on his right hand.
Konoemon gave him a stern look. "Please understand your position here Mr. Sakuraba. We can find another teacher who would be more willing to cooperate with us. You are only here as a substitue to Negi-kun, the one we were truly supposed to hire. It just so happened he was delayed somewhat and you showed up to take the job for awhile. We can terminate your employment if you so wish", the old man explained to the teen.
"I'll take the job", Neku said stiffly. 'Like I have a choice', the teen mentally grunted. He recalled the phone call he got from Joshua, his employer of sorts.

Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!
Neku's phone rang as he traversed the streets of Shibuya. "Hello? former dead-kid speaking", the purple answered his phone witout looking at the caller. Not that he couldn't guess, not many people had his number.
"Still as bitter as ever, eh Neku?", the voice on the other end smoothed over.
Neku glared at the imaginary face of the guy on the other end. They were friends, Neku didn't like him, but they were still friends, to some extent.
"What do you want?", the orange-haired teen sighed over the standard din of Shibuya.
"I have a mission for you", the caller simply stated.
"I'm no longer a player and besides, Kitaniji said I was banned from any further games", Neku told him plain and simple.
"That was an invalid call Neku", the voice half-laughed. "This was supposed to be my job but you are my proxy after all so I think I can send you in my stead.", the voice further added.
"Sorry but I'd rather say not", Neku cut off the connection and flipped his phone shut.
Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!
Neku ignored it.
Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!
He really tried.
Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!
"You should really get that", Ken Doi, the owner of the ramen shop Neku was currently eating at, told the orange-haired teen.
Neku growled, "Fine dammit!". He picked up the call and the first thing he hears nearly causes him to snap his phone in half.
"It was pretty rude to try and ignore me but I knew you'd answer sooner or later", the same voice from before half-laughed. "Don't worry though, its pretty simple", the voice told him.
"And that would be?", Neku chewed on a mouthful of ramen, waiting on an answer.
"Teach middle schoolers english", the voice stated simply. This simple statement though nearly caused the orange-haired teen to nearly choke to death. The owner even started mentally reviewing how to do the Heimlich maneuver just in case. "So you'll do it?", the voice asked in his signature annoying tone.
Neku forcefully gulped the bit of noodles down with the help of some ramen broth and said, "Do I have a choice?".
"I have another job here at the UG", the voice said thoughtfully. "Besides being composer of course", he added as an afterthought. "Would you rather take this job?", the voice asked the orange-haired teen.
"Guess not", Neku sighed.
"There's no time limit this time Neku but be aware", the voice stopped.
"Be aware of what?", the emo-teen asked impatiently demanded impatiently.
"I'm still thinking whether I should tell you", the voice did his half-laughing thing again.
"What!?", Neku raged.
"If you fail, you are erased as per standard rules.", the phone connection was cut off.
Everything after that was a blur to Neku but after that he found himself lying face first in a train filled to the brim with nothing but girls.

Neku looked at the two pins, which were the first things he saw when he opened the suitcase, in his hand. A pin with a white stylized crossbone design on a plain black background. the second pin was a blank white. He looked back to the headmaster and questioned a most important issue, "So where will I be staying?".
Silence reigned the room for a bit. "Ahem", the headmaster coughed. "Well we uh... thought you had that covered", the old man fiddled with his gray haori.
"We'll try to work something out but for now, would you like to meet your class? I believe they are currently still in free period awaiting their teachers.", Shizuna changed the subject.
"Fine", Neku shrugged.
"Well then follow me and I'll lead you to the teacher's changing room so you can get into your new suit.", Shizuna lead him out.
"Fine", neku stepped out of the huge office.
"Thank you Shizuna", Konoemon wiped the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his attire.
"No problem sir", Shizuna nodded. "But I did tell you to prepare lodgings for him didn't I?", she told him in an I-told-you-so voice.

Neku was currently changing into his attire as a teacher. "What the hell am I doing?", the emo-teen sighed to himself. "I'm only a year older than them at most. How the heck am I supposed to teach them? For crying out loud we're in the same grade", he complained. He checked himself in the mirror if everything was on right. White dress shirt? Check. Purple suit jacket? Check. Purple Slacks? Check. Black leather shoes? Check. Blue neck tie? Check. Head phones? Check.
Neku turned to his suit case. He flipped it open and gazed at its contents. All his pins were there. He took out roughly a dozen of them and stuffed the round accessories into his pocket. He saw a large brown envelope and opened it, inside were a pin, some papers and a binder.
He read the papers first. It was a letter:
"Neku,
This letter should come with a pin and a binder inside the brown envelope. First off let me explain the two pins you most likely have in your hands righ now.--"
Neku paused and looked at the skull pin and white pin in his hand.
"The white pin as you should know is a harmonizer pin like the one you used during the game. The second pin is your standard player pin with a couple of tweaks. It's designed to allows you to use your psychs even outside the UG, it has more functions but we'll let you figure them out. Other rules such as making a pact before being able to utilize your psychs properly still follow.
The pin that goes with the envelope is made to help you absorb information much faster than a regular human being. It's still experimenting with it so we're not sure of the symptoms, but we are sure that it has side effects.-"
Neku paused once more to look at the pin that came with the envelope. It had a cartoon of a brain on it in gray with pink outlines and a canvas of psychadelic colors for a background.
"Last but not the least is the binder. It's filled with lists of books and references to study in as well as a logical lesson plan. Anyway all your pins should be in the suitcase along with a snazzy suit.
signed by,
the Composer
P.S.- Stay alive, you've got three terms ahead of you."
Neku almost felt like wringing that guy's neck. Didn't even sign his own name. That name may as well have been an alias though. Neku sighed and decided to just do his best and mentally braced himself, 'Okay let's do this'
Neku stepped out of the changing room. "Sorry, were you waiting long?", he asked the blonde Shizuna who was currently his guide.
"No, don't worry about it", she waved it off.
They walked through the halls and Neku could tell that this place was worth a bit. "This is Mahora all-girl's academy", Shizuna began to explain as she lead him through the red carpeted corridors. "Mahora is actually a school campus with various academies for different year levels. At junior high and above we begin to seperate them into all-boys and all-girls schools.", Shizuna explained.
"Oh", Neku nodded in understanding.
"The larger part of the campus is a town to accomodate students and their families that have decided to move in to be closer to the school. We have also quite a number of tourist spots here", the blonde giggled a bit. "It's almost like we have our own country", she said as she looked back to gauge his reaction.
Neku's reaction came in the form of a whistle before words. "You can say that again. It's almost like all you need is a military and you're all set", Neku said off-handedly.
"You're actually not that far-off from the truth", Shizuna winked at him.
Neku almost stumbled mid-step and exclaimed in surprise, "I'm not?"
The blonde just giggled again, "I was just joking". "Anyway we've reached your class, please go on in", Shizuna gestured towards a door.
Neku observed the door she showed him and looked to the sign hanging by it. "Class 3-A", the orange-haired teen read, in english no less.
"My my, now I know they're in good hands", Shizuna smiled at him.
"Uh thanks", Neku smiled half-heartedly. He didn't know whether that was a joke or not. He reached out for the door but paused at the pulsing pain in his head as soon as his hand touched the piece of wood.
'Wonder what the new teacher's like?'
'I hear he's just a kid'
'He better not be some brat'
'Hmm... whose fortune should I read today?'
'ZZZZ'
'...'
'I sense a magical presence'
'I should try a new recipe'
'Tomorrow's sunday degozaru. I better get ready, the last time I forgot my kunai degozaru.'
...
...
Neku felt like his brain was gonna blow. It had been around a couple of months at least since the reaper's game, no surprise that he'd forgotten how to block out thoughts. The mental noise was hell though, almost as bad as Shibuya, if not worse.
"Are you alright?", Shizuna went to assist her new colleague. She supported him as he involuntarily leaned on her.
"Yeah... I mean yes I'm alright", he answered her properly once he was able to block out the massive flood of thoughts. They had to be some seriously egotistic chicks to have such powerful thoughts running in and out of his mind. Even if he didn't purposely block them out, the player pin he had should have prevented any forced entry into his mind. It suddenly came to his attention though that his left hand, which he was leaning on for support, was grasping at something. It was kinda round, soft and definitely warm.
"Neku-sensei?", Shizuna called his attention.
"Huh? What is it?", Neku looked at her as he tried to get a feel of the thing and figure out what it was.
"I know you're a growing boy and all but I'm going to have to do something drastic if you keep this up.", Shizuna explained with a smile which was severely strained.
"Wha-?", neku looked at his hand. It was currently in contact with the buxom blonde's chest. He turned faster red than the traffic light at the scramble. "I'm sorry!", he stumbled back.
His back hit the classroom door, momentum forced it open, he plunged backwards but tried to stop and keep his balance. That was a bad mistake, a blackboard eraser was rigged to fall on whoever entered and Neku was nailed right between the eyes. He lost his balance and stumbled back some more which cause him to trip on the trip wire which made him roll a 360 at least and launched a suction tipped arrow at him, which found its mark on his forehead, right above the white spot where the eraser hit.
The entire class was silent. Then they suddenly erupted into a frenzy.
"That was awesome!", a girl with black hair in a short side ponytail with an athletic build whooped.
"I've seen some pretty crazy ways of getting caught by that trap but this takes the cake", another girl with red orange hair in a upturned ponytail reminiscent of a peacock.
Neku mentally grumbled to himself. 'Oh this was gonna be so much fun.'. Note the sarcasm, seriously.

POST NOTES: Well its now official. I am insane. Crossing TWEWY and MSN. Ah well, I just wanted to imagine what if the girls had psychic powers rather than magic ones and would making pacts with Neku be more interesting than Negi's pactio. Now Negi fans can go ahead and lynch me if they want but I don't quite like Negi. He acts all mature but in the end he's just a kid who sits on the sidelines and whines. I find that so annoying. Almost like how I realized I hated Kira in GSD. Ah crap I'm rambling. Anyway if you are reading these POST NOTES then you must have read this thing to some extent and for that I thank thee. Toodles.
