1 Week Later...

The door to the infirmary opened admitting Negi, Makie and Ako in. Since John Doe (as Negi and Shizuna had come to call him) was brought in, these three come in to check up on him, even though he was still in a coma. Negi and Chamo were waiting for him to wake so they could ask him about his magical heritage. The girls were there for other, more obvious reasons.

Ako walked over to the bed and picked up the clipboard. "How are you today John-san?" She asked, knowing she wouldn't receive an answer. She pulled out a thermometer and inserted it into his mouth.

While Ako was busy checking his pulse, she took the clipboard and checked out his information, it was hard to tell anything while he was lying in bed. It read.

Name: John Doe

Height: 5' 10"

Hair: Black with silver streaks

Eyes: Green

Heart Rate: Normal

Respiratory: Regular

Notes: He appears to have gathered many scars on his body, despite his apparent age. He will have a new one over his left eye, diagonally from right to left. He will be lucky to see from it after words.

He is in what appears to be a stress/trauma induced coma making it hard to tell when he will recover.

Eyes appear to tear up from time to time.

Makie put the clipboard down and took a closer look at John's face. She could see the remains of where tears had fallen.

"I wonder why he cries." She pondered aloud.

Negi and Ako looked up at her, then back down at John, noticing the tear trails.

Negi looked over to Ako. "Did Shizuna-san separate his personal items found on him?"

Ako nodded her head. "I think so sensei, they should be in that closet over there." She said, pointing behind him.

Negi got up and opened the closet. He noted that the robe he was found in was jet black. He began searching the pockets from Johns pants and robe. What he found was a ring, some foreign money and a Pactio Card. His eyes widened as he looked at the card. There was a gorgeous young woman on it with silver hair and blue eyes, and she was holding a really deadly looking whip.

"Ooh how cute! It's one of those cards that Nodaka-san has!" Makie squealed over his shoulder. He jumped as she reached over and grabbed it.

"I wonder who this is? Do you think its his girlfriend?" Ako asked, blushing at her choice of words.

Makie turned back to John and noticed that tears were falling down his cheeks again. "I wish there was a way to see what he is thinking of."

Negi turned to look at Makie then to John. "Hey! Why didn't I think of that? Later, I'll just bring Nodoka-san down here with her book! Maybe we can catch a glimpse of whats floating around his mind." He thought.

Just then, Shizuna walked in.

"Ah, Negi-kun, there you are. The Headmaster is looking for you, I believe it is something about our friend here." She said, gesturing to John.

Negi stood and bowed. "Thank you Shizuna-san. Please let me know the moment he wakes." At her nod, he hurried off.

She looked over at the two girls who were hovering over John. "Now shouldn't you two be at your club practices too?" She chuckled at their blushes creeping up on their faces. "Don't worry, I'll let you know when he wakes also."

"Thanks Shizuna-sensei!" They said together and ran off to their clubs.

Shizuna turned back to John and looked him over once. "My, my. You always were a lady killer weren't you?" She asked John's still form. "You haven't even opened your eyes and they fell in love with you. Try not to break any more hearts while your here."

Later that night...

Negi was making his way down to Nodoka's room, thinking of his recent talk with the head master.

"If what he says is true, he is taking a big risk in letting him stay upon him waking." His train of thought was interrupted as he ran into someone.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I should have been paying attention." Said Negi as he lifted himself up and moved over to the person he hit, extending his hand. He blushed as he noticed that her panties were showing, and quickly looked the other way.

"Oh! N-Negi-sensei, it's you." Nodoka stated as she took his hand and lifted herself up. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." she apologized, blushing.

"What is wrong with me?" Negi thought, his blush refusing to go away. "Why is my heart beating as tho I've been running a race?"

"Oh, Nodoka-san! I was just on my way to find you, I need your help with something."

"M-my help? What can I help you with sensei?"

"Please, call me Negi, or Negi-kun, when we are outside of class. As for what I need..." He stalled, and questioned himself. "No, I'm sorry Nodoka-san, it is nothing. Ha, ha, ha!" He laughed as he turned and began to run away.

Nodoka, in a rare case of assertiveness, placed a hand on Negi's shoulder before he could run.

"Please N-N-Negi-kun?" She asked as if she were trying it on. "What can I help you with?"

Negi seemed to think about it. "There is this guy in the infirmary, and well he has been there for a week and we know nothing about him. I was hoping you would bring your Pactio card and give me a hand in finding out a bit about him."

"Alone... In the infirmary with Negi-kun!" Nodoka thought in a panic till she realized that it was to help someone. "Of course I'll help Negi-sen-kun."

Negi gave her a smile, that turned her a deep crimson color. "Thanks Nodoka-san. This could be a big help."

She trotted back into her room quietly, as not to bother Yue and Haruna. "They are definably the last people I want to know about this."

As she turned to leave, she missed the two sets of eyes spying on her.

"Are we following her Paru?" Yue asked.

"Of course! She never acts sneaky! This must be big!" Responded Haruna as she quickly got her shoes on and followed her out the door.

They stopped in shock as they watched their roommate leave the dorm with their teacher.

"Whoa! This is big! Shes eloping with sensei!" Haruna blurted out.

"No. Nodoka wouldn't of gone that far, lets keep following them." Yue responded.

"Great, the baka has got me interested now."

They continued there shadowing of the two until they reached the school.

"This way Nodoka, he is in here." When she looked inside, she was met with a man who had a bandage around his head, covering one eye.

"Do you know his name Negi-kun?" She asked quietly. Out side the door, Haruna and Yue looked at each other and mouthed "Negi-kun?"

"Oh! Damn it. No we don't know his name. I'm sorry Nodoka-san, seems I dragged you out here for nothing." Negi said with a sorrowful experssion on his face.

Nodoka started to panic. "No, no Negi-kun! Its ok! Just being with you was alright!" She began to blush and was about to rush out the door.

"Ugh.. My head hurts." Came a voice from the room. Negi and Nodoka looked towards the bed.

John Doe had awoken.
