I'm back! Miss me? A great, big thanks to all who reviewed. I treasure each and every one of them. Had a few days off from work, which is why this was updated so soon. What better way to beat the soon-to-be-summer heat than to sit in front of a fan and write. Enough about me, On with the Show!
P.S. I don't own Negima! or its characters!
The morning after Asuna's failed assassination attempt class 3-A cautiously crept their way through the halls, the fear of what the new addition of the school paper might contain fixed firmly in their minds. If they knew one thing about Asakura, they knew that nothing she said should be ignored.
One by one, they each picked up an issue, meeting up in the classroom to gather support from each other as they read the potentially reputation damaging stanzas. Ayaka, ever the class rep, bravely stood out in front, clearing her throat as she read:
"Mahora News Special Addition:
Extra! Extra!
A Poetic Report by Kazumi Asakura"
Ayaka proceeded to read the first eight secret revealing stanzas they had heard previously, before boldly continuing forward.
"Student # 9 is a short-haired nun
Kasuga Misora really loves to run
Once, she pretended to be a priest
Sister Shakti ripped her a new one, to say the least"
"I thought that priest was suspicious! I can't believe it was you! You are so gonna get it after school, religious protection or not; you are goin' DOWN!" Asuna shouted. As this was being said, Setsuna, recovered from the brain hemorrhage of yesterday, turned beat red as anger and embarrassment rushed through her system. She slowly unsheathed her sword, making sure Kasuga heard the sharper-than-a-razor blade being drawn out of its sheath. Kasuga gulped, ducking down as far as she could, and praying that her life would be spared. Ayaka read on.
"Student # 10 is Chachamaru Karakuri
A robot whose possibility of emotions is blurry
Tending to Evangeline, her loyalty never wavers
She also rescues kittens and does people favors"
Everyone glared jealously at the currently emotionless robot. What's so special about her that she gets a free pass? Evangeline chuckled inwardly, knowing exactly why. The ever clever camerawoman was keeping her nose clean and the blood in her veins. Insulting a vampire's robot is never a good idea.
"Student # 11 is the sensible cheerleader
To be responsible is why the others need her
Keeping them from spending everything on karaoke
Madoka Kugimiya is fairly grounded, and all around okay"
Madoka smirked at the other cheerleaders after hearing that, and they bowed their heads in shame. They knew they were airheads, but you can't place all the blame on them. After all, it's two against one and Madoka, although the voice of reason, still gets dragged wherever the other two want to go. Yet another student was safe from embarrassment. So far so good; only one casualty.
"Student # 12, the Chinese Master, Fei Ku
When she walks down the street, her fan's go 'Whoo-hoo!'
She trains Negi-sensei and doesn't give an inch
Baka Yellow is there if you're ever in a pinch"
Fei Ku grinned at this. She may not have been able to speak English very well, but she knew how to take a complement. Suddenly, she felt the bravado that comes with being one of the strongest people in the world and puffed out her chest. "Negi, you Master challenge you after school today for training. It be fun." Negi, who had just joined the group, gulped when he saw the fire in her eyes.
Knowing who's next, Konoka reached over and gripped Setsuna's hand tightly; the candy apple red samurai doing everything in her power to keep it together. She had to be strong for her Ojou-sama, and fainting certainly would not help things.
"Student # 13 is the dean's granddaughter
Evil and mean is everything that's not her
Completely oblivious and ditzy to boot
Konoka Konoe's the heir to some serious loot"
Konoka relaxed and then pouted cutely after she'd heard her bit. She was not ditzy. Her grades were one of the highest in the class. She was just a ray of sunshine because for so many years she'd been stuck behind palace walls and now she had to make up for lost time. And having her Se-chan by her side helped her already bubbly personality to burst forth and flow through every situation within her life. She gazed dreamily in her protector's direction, still holding hands, and sighed deeply. Setsuna noticed and began sweating quite profusely, the exertion from staying conscious taking its toll.
"Student # 14 is the 'gossip queen'
Haruna Saotome draws manga that's obscene
If you have a secret make sure she's not there
Or everyone will know about it everywhere"
Haruna's glasses glinted dangerously, along with a smirk that sent shudders through the rest of class 3-A. She began thinking of a way to thank Kazumi for her marvelous introduction, and proceeded to scribble in her notebook menacingly, causing a loud gulp to come from everyone in the room, including Negi.
It was Konoka's hand that was now being gripped with a force greater than that required to break someones bones. The heiress winced and let out a whimper, causing the samurai to slightly lessen her grip from bone breaking, to slightly bruising.
"Student # 15 is Konoka's personal bodyguard
Setsuna Sakurazaki has fallen for her, hard
Unsure how to tell the girl how she does feel
Now that she knows, my death's a done deal
Although she was nowhere near class 3-A's room, Kazumi felt a chill go down her back, and a heavy sense of dread weighed down upon her shoulders. And it wasn't just her. Everyone within a mile of the enraged samurai felt the impending wrath coming from the death glare she was sporting. Many of those in class 3-A fainted in fear, others cowering under their desks. Only one was unaffected. The heiress brought Setsuna's attention to her by cupping her face; turning it towards her.
"Se-chan, is what she wrote true?" Konoka's gaze turned hopeful and; realizing she was backed into a corner; Setsuna finally took the plunge. Moving forward, she gave her secret crush a quick peck on the lips, a silent confirmation that caused exhilaration to burst forth from the heiress. Before Setsuna could fully move back, Konoka surged forward, sealing their lips in a passionate kiss; a kiss that exceeded Setsuna's wildest dreams.
"Whoo-hoo! Go Konoka! Taste that sinfully demonic chocolate!" Haruna was about to continue, when her face was met with the feet of Yue and Nodoka. She flew backwards, smacking against the floor as hands moved over her mouth.
"I don't think Setsuna would appreciate you telling everyone she's a demon! I don't know about you, but I've seen enough death glares for one day." Yue warned, removing her hand when Haruna nodded in agreement. Luckily, everyone missed the revealing innuendo, too caught up in the visual spectacle of the two lovebirds, now deepening the kiss, hands wandering.
"Rein it you two! You're giving Negi a heart attack!" Asuna shouted, as Negi keeled over.
Another one bites the dust! Hope you enjoyed it. If you haven't noticed, I'm a huge KonoSetsu fan, and I just couldn't help myself. Can't wait to post the next chap, but I have no idea when I'll get to. I won't have net access for a week or so, but I'll get it out to you guys when I can. Reviews are always appreciated! Peace out my readers!
