Sasaki Makie let the cool water run through her peach-colored hair, and let it run down her back and swirl into a small funnel of the little drain. A sigh escaped her lips and she reviewed her morning training, which to her seemed to be, run to the World Tree, take a route around the Middle School Campus, and then see if she could find Negi taking an early morning walk.

No such luck.

"Argh…" she scrubbed her arms and head, "I wish Negi-sensei would take more morning walks, he used to train with Ku Fei…"

She finished soaping and using the shampoo so she rinsed herself off and proceeded to walk to the hot baths… however, a single early-morning patron was in there as well. A young girl with chocolate-brown hair whistling very softly as she floated lazily in the large baths. She was small and not all that endowed in her assets, but she was pretty, her eyes were closed and she appeared to be in a trance.

"Um… hi!"

The girl opened her eyes just a slit and sopped whistling, then she slowly sunk and waded over, "Hello." She had a little accent or something, because her speech was very airy. Her long brown hair fell to about an inch above her ear lobes. Lazy green eyes inspected her from the few feet away, then a crooked smile cam about the girl's lips, "My name is Amy Luck. And I'm here to grant your wish!"

"EH!?"

---

Outside the two were able to talk much easier, of course Makie was still unsure of what the odd girl meant, "You're here to grant my wish?"

"Mm, t'at's my job." The girl lisped, Makie noticed she had a fang on the upper left side of her mouth that obstructed her speech a bit.

Confusion began to well up in Makie's mind, "You grant wishes for a job?"

"Yes that's my job as a Mag…"

"PING PONG! ALL 3-A STUDENTS ARE REQUESTED AT THE ROOF OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, SO PLEASE HURRY!!!" Kazumi's voice rang out effortlessly on the P.A. system, how she got her hands on it… well not like it mattered…

"Ah! I'm sorry A…Ami…Emi…Amy-san! I have to go! Bye bye!" with a burst of speed and power, Makie fled the scene, running uphill for about thirty yards before tripping, getting up, and then running again.

Amy snickered, holding a small card in her left hand, with her right she removed the brown wig, revealing a darker brown head of hair, she shoved it in his book bag and straightened her red hooded sweatshirt, "What is it with pure hearts and trust?" she observed the card for a few minutes and sighed, "Makie Sasaki, don't you have a wish?" with a mad laugh Amy(?) vanished.

Negi opened the door to the roof and found his students all chattering about an excited vacation, "Good morning everyone!"

"Ah! Negi-bouzu, how are you?"

"Negi-kuuun! You're later than Asuna!"

"Yaya! Negi-kun! Masayoshi-wan-wan had to take control before you came!"

"Yaya! That's right Nee-san!"

"Good Gods, let me go back to the infirmary…"

"Oi, Negi-boya, there had better be a reason you called me here in the middle of vacation…"

"Master wishes to sleep in. But Master is pleased to see you well."

"I never said that! Don't say those sorts of things aloud!"

"Yo Negi, I'm tired, do you even need the teachers, or can we go back to vacation?"

Negi couldn't hear half of anything, due to the fact everyone talked at the same time, but he dismissed the dark-haired bespectacled teacher and the bandana-clad P.E. supervisor back to the rooms (and or hospital wing). Their respective students all gave them hugs and tried to give kissed before the two slammed the doors shut and put large, heavy objects in front of the doors to prevent any following.

Sweat dropping, Negi allowed his students to fall back into order before continuing, "I wish to announce that we are all going on a little trip: everyone who has no plans for vacation can accompany Ayaka-san to her southern island hotel-chain, and stay there for a week!"

"YES!"

Ayaka stood up haughtily, "Negi-sama is very kind to have offered you all a bit of a vacation, so appreciate it!' she stepped down and nearly face fell, 'And I wanted this vacation to just be me and Negi…'

Many of the students cheered madly, laughing and trying to get Negi into the fun, but a few of the girls sort of fell prey to the fun and slinked off.

Makie sighed, "But I have special training… I can't go on vacation right now… why can't it be next week?"

Ako sat on the ground at Makie's feet and gave a pathetic-sounding noise, "Everybody has all this fun, but the Sports Team doesn't get such long breaks as everyone else…"

By the looks of things, a few other girls had their clubs conflict with the schedule, Evangeline and Chachamaru just left when Negi gave his speech, Natsumi sighed and slowly came over, "You guys unable to go too?"

Makie made a crying face, "I can't… I have to go to a special session for my gymnastics…"

"And I have to overlook the Soccer Club…"

The actress pouted, "I guess it's really no fun when everyone but us get to go…"

"How long will they be gone anyway?" Makie inquired innocently.

"A week or two, depending on the weather." Came the quick response.

The actress and the two sports girls looked up to see a tall albino boy looking down at them with a faraway look in his ruby eyes, "I can't go… islands have an unfortunate reputation for being rainy at the worst times…"

"Howell! Don't stray, we'll be leaving via helicopter!" Yuna appeared and grabbed the albino's arm, "Hi everyone!" her happy smile suddenly fell, "What? You're not going!?"

The three girls gave tiring sighs, "No…"

"Well dang!" Yuna sat down and gave a hug to each girl, "Well then I'll see you in a few weeks!" with that she ran to the large helicopter that appeared moments ago. The wind was whipping around madly, lifting nearly all the girls' skirts, but there was no one to even see any of the printed undies, so in this case, there were no catastrophes.

As everyone left a few of the straggling students left on the roof came together. It was frighteningly few… Ako, Makie, Misora, Akira, Evangeline and Chachamaru (Not present but obviously still around), Chizuru (I have someone to take care of…) and finally a very saddened Fumika Narutaki (I caught a cold and can't go!!!)

Three teachers looked over the students from the doorway: a black-haired, very tired-looking young man holding a large black book who was currently cleaning his glasses, a brown-haired taller man with a grim look on his face, wearing a black bandana which clashed with his teacher's uniform, finally a young albino man standing between them, looking very serene and calm.

"Say…" said the black-haired youth, "Does anyone feel like something is here that shouldn't be?"

"Screw it, if anything's here, it'll be done for if we catch up to it."

"Or it could just be the rain."

"Aracana sealea, evoke!" the paper in the young man's hand turned to stone and fell to dust in his hands, in front of him a large red line appeared, it was in fact part of a giant magic circle that a certain someone put around the Mahora Junior High school. The light appeared at where the card once was and it pierced the magic circle, making a small break. The young boy turned to the side and sidled through, the seal repaired itself behind him.

Ivan Chance gave a weak smile, "Damn, that was a powerful seal of mine too… and that thing fixed itself in five seconds…" He laughed, "I wonder what's so important here that they won't let me in!?"

---

Takamichi looked up from his desk, "I wonder what this sudden feeling of impending doom is about…?"

Looking back down he noticed a letter that he didn't open, taking a small letter opener he slit through the top and looked through the contents, then he sighed, throwing his paycheck to the side, "That explains it…"

---

Howell J. Fitzwilliam looked at the books inside Yuna's room for a few minutes before promptly picking up a light novel and laying on her bed stomach-down, his feet dangling off the side.

Misora leaned on the doorway, looking at him in an amused way, "Are you sure Yuna is okay with this? I know you two are close and all… but going through her stuff is a little- AH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

Howell put the book down while the swimmer was talking, getting a little bored, he began to go through the drawers, and found a pair of light blue panties.

Misora, not being used to such sexual harassment, did the only thing she thought was right, she picked up an encyclopedia and smashed the albino's head in, then dragged him into the living room, where she put him on the couch and began to call for assistance.

Akira appeared a few minutes later, and the two dragged sat together and drank, "I didn't know this guy was perverted…"

Laughing weakly, Misora rubbed the back of her head, "Well I'm not sure if he's perverted, or just a curious guy… he's sometimes no better than a child!"

"Hey you know what I noticed?"

"What?"

"Lately, all the teachers room with the students…"

Misora looked puzzled but nodded, "That's right, Negi rooms with Asuna and Konoka, Howell with me and Yuna, and C…"

A loud thumping sound from the hallway made Misora check for the sound, and she slammed the door the second it opened, "There's a huge spider walking around the halls!!!"

Very true, a large spider the size of perhaps a normal Junior High 3rd year girl's foot was crawling around the halls. However exactly why it was scuttling around the rooms would not be figured out for another moment..

"That's so gross… someone should stomp on him!" Akira said, her voice getting low.

"Eww… I don't want to think about that!"

Ivan Chance ripped the small paper spider in half, making the illusion disappear. He winced at the thought of what may have happened if the girls really did stomp on him… he stood outside the door, listening in, then he looked at a piece of paper in his right hand, with a pen in his left hand, he marked off the name, "Howell J. Fitzwilliam" from the paper, "That's one…"

Fumika coughed on her bed, she rolled over several times, this fever was going to kill her… her blankets were all thrown off in her frenzy, and her yellow hair ornaments were ripped off before she even hit the highest point of the fever.

Headaches, disorientations, nausea, weakness, muscle pains, all were there to cause her the most agony in the world… however, one thing about this accursed sickness made her feel better.

Masayoshi Hitodama took a cold, wet, towel and dabbed her forehead and cheeks with it, his eyes were unfocused, and he looked very tired, but he always has been tired since… what was it again? Oh well. His dark eyes behind his glasses faded as he put down the towel and picked up a small cup of water. He sat beside her and helped her sit up, "Drink."

To Fumika, the cool water was refreshing and pure, it went through her heated system and cooled her mind, her body felt numb, but the pain was almost gone. She rested her head back on her sweat-drenched pillow and breathed a little easier.

As the young girl fell asleep Masayoshi leaned down and kissed her hot brow, then he backed away and picked up his book, opening it as he left the room, reading silently.

In the shadowy confines of the hall, Ivan crossed off Masayoshi Hitodama off the list as well, but put a question mark by his name, "Done here."

---

Connor Gavet sat next to the doorway in the hall, a large sword resting on his shoulders, an evil presence had entered the school, but the other two fools ignored it, he on the other hand, will wait it out and destroy it when it showed its face.

Ivan Chance walked by, making some last-minute adjustments on his list, as he passed Connor he gave a little wave and a lazy smile, "Good evening Mr. Connor Gavet."

"Yo." Connor raised his hand in a standard reply, then proceeded to keep on watch for suspicious peoples.

About ten minutes later, when Ku Fei opened the door to usher Connor into coming to bed, the older man realized what passed him, "AW DAMN!"
