Mahou Sensei Negima: Complex Affections

Chapter 4: Kissing and wandering…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After school, Ayaka assigned cleanup duties to Akira, Zazie and Makie, leaving the classrep to make her way home to her dorm in hopes of relaxation, something she felt she desperately needed after today.

While Ayaka made her way back to the dorms, Asakura and Asuna, having made up that morning, had decided that they would walk back to the dorms together, leaving Negi and Konoka to walk home with Setsuna.

Now, we join the two redheads, Kazumi and Asuna, on their walk…

Damn it! This is so-o-o awkward!

Asuna glanced up at the sky, trying hard to find a subject to talk about with Kazumi, who didn't seem to have the same feeling of awkwardness around Asuna as said girl did around her. "So" Kazumi began, breaking the tense air around them, "what's on your mind?"

"About…last night" Asuna began, gulping and wiping sweat off her brow as she continued, "what exactly happened? I mean-"

"Simple; we kissed, made out and almost jumped into each other's panties. Why? Did any of that confuse you? I mean, you were really into it-"

Asuna's face was redder then a tomato at Asakura's words, amazed that the other girl could talk like that about what'd happened between them the day before, "I…Didn't mean it like that, Kazumi."

"Hmm? Oh, well then, let's see…how to put it differently…" the girl placed her finger under her chin in mock thought, knowingly angering the other redhead. "Ah! You and I about-"

"Not like that!" Asuna knew where Asakura would go with her explanations by now, choosing her words carefully as she brought the subject up again with Kazumi, this time asking for the girl to be serious.

"To be serious?" Kazumi let those words hang in the air, quieting down while trying to fish for the correct thing to say before Asuna decided to speak up.

"I-I don't" Asuna knew that if she wanted to get anywhere now, she'd have to be the one to take the talk in that direction, seeing as this was probably Kazumi's way of getting back at her for the treatment she'd bestowed upon the paparazzi during the morning walk to school, "I don't know…what I feel, when it comes to last night. To be completely honest, Kazumi."

Asakura was, by all means, very interested in what Asuna had said, seeing as the girl hadn't actually said that the day before was awful, but that she hadn't really made up her mind as to what she should feel. "so, basically… you're saying that you don't know if you like girls or not, is that it Asuna?"

The girl in question answered with a slight nod of her head, gasping slightly when she felt Kazumi's hands seize her waist, pulling the twin pony tailed girl into an embrace that, oddly enough, reminded Asuna of some romance novel position…

"Well, maybe we should check again…" Kazumi whispered, her mind ablaze with arguments against her planned course of action, and arguments to counter the first batch of arguments. As Kazumi drew her lips closer to Asuna's, the other girl did something that was, in Kazumi's mind, completely spur of the moment.

She moved closer, closing the distance between hers, and Kazumi's lips, pressing against the reporter in training's mouth so as to deepen the kiss between both girls.

Elsewhere, at that very moment, Ayaka was making her way home, albeit dejectedly for some unexplained reason…

At least, that's what she keeps telling herself…

I'm not feeling well, that's all!

Yeah, that's right, Ayaka!

Wow, I'm actually agreeing with myself for once today!

Actually, you're feeling Asuna, that's-

"I AM NOT!" Ayaka shouted, quickly covering her mouth with her hands while looking around to see if anyone had seen that small outburst. "I'm going crazy, that's it…crazy…so this is what being insane feels like? Not to bad, really."

Ayaka shrugged, allowing her shoulders to slump before beginning her trek anew, not paying attention to where she was going. After walking for a little while, Ayaka finally looked up…and noticed that she was lost, given that she'd never been anywhere like this new area before.

"W-Where am I?" she looked around slowly, noticing that the road she was on had trees on either side of her, reminiscent of an old forest path, she noted.

Okay…keep calm, Ayaka, keep calm…

I was just in an effin' city! And now I'm lost in a damn forest? This is freakin' messed up to all hell!

Well, so much for keeping calm…

Ayaka turned around, hoping that she hadn't walked to far down the path when she made a more startling discovery, "Eh? What way did I come from?"

She looked down both directions, realizing that, during her inner argument, she'd turned and moved around so much that she forgot which direction she had come from. "Crap! This day can't get much worse, can it?"

It was at that moment that Ayaka's eyes fell upon a small cottage up the path a little ways, the porch just barely noticeable from where she stood at the moment. "Maybe the people who live there could give me some directions" the girl shrugged, beginning her march towards the small house with a determined look in her eyes.

As she came up to the house, she noticed that it seemed rather quiet. "What? I thought that…maybe…" she wandered around the yard, glancing up at one of the windows on the second story before returning to the front, walking up the stairs so that she could knock on the door.

"Weird" she muttered, having knocked four times with no response, "usually someone would answer the door, unless I happen to be unlucky enough to have stumbled across-"

Suddenly, the door opened…

As Ayaka looked at the cottage's door, she carefully placed one foot inside the entryway, tapping the floor just inside the door before pulling her leg out and running towards some bushes near the forest's edge. "Normally, the monster starts the pursuit after something like that" Ayaka muttered, having watched enough horror movies with her friends that she knew what to do and how to act when presented with a situation like this one.

"So, I guess the axe murderer isn't around, hahaha!" the girl started wishing she hadn't said that last line, as she started shuddering at the thought that she was walking into some crazy person's house and would be tempting someone to surprise her with a hatchet or a cleaver and-

"Alright, enough with this already!" she screamed, shaking her head of all the horrific thoughts that seemed to cloud her judgment, making it almost impossible for her to actually focus on the situation at hand. As Ayaka walked into the house, she noted that there seemed to be an awful lot of…

"Dolls?"

Ayaka walked over to one doll, lifting it up in her hands and inspecting it, "this place is full of dolls…I wonder if the person that lives here made them? Or, if they'd be able to make me a life-sized Negi doll?"

Actually, what you'd like is a life-sized Asuna doll, with real-

"STOP! STOP IT ALL!" Ayaka slapped her face, ridding herself of the most perverted thoughts she just had, not realizing that she'd dropped the doll she'd been holding.

"I wonder where the owner is?" Ayaka placed the doll back on the stand, having picked it up and inspected it for any cracks or dents before placing it on its cushion. "Yoo-hoo! Is anybody here? H-ello!" Ayaka wandered around the tiny cottage, walking upstairs and checking the bedroom up there before walking back down and looking around the kitchen.

"Man, is this place deserted?"

It was at that moment that Ayaka noticed the stairs leading down to the cottage's basement. As the blonde girl made her way down, she noticed that the basement seemed…plain, besides for the giant glass enclosed model of a resort in the middle of the room.

"Wow…that is beautiful…" Ayaka gaped at the odd model, noticing that there seemed to be two people on the tiptop of the tower, with the smaller of the two lounging around on a mini chair, from Ayaka's view point. "I wonder how long it took to build-wha, huh?" she gasped, noticing that a light began to surround her body, enveloping her before transporting her to another place…

"W-Where am I?" she spoke, looking around at the tower in front of her, coming to the sudden, unreal realization that she was standing exactly where she'd been looking at a few seconds before hand.

This…could be bad…

As Ayaka looked at her surroundings, she noticed that the two figures she'd seen earlier on the top of the tower were still where she'd last seen them, sitting out in the sun…before realizing that she knew the two girls…

I-Is that…Chachamaru and Evangeline?

The shorter blonde girl stopped sipping her tea, glancing over at Ayaka before grinning seductively. "Well, well… it took you long enough, Yukihiro. I've been waiting for you…" she narrowed her eyes, standing up before making her way over to Ayaka, who knew by now that she was in for something.

She just didn't know what…

A/N: Now that I got this chapter out, I noticed that the story hasn't gone the way I originally intended, seeing as I never thought to add Ayaka and/or Evangeline in the first draft, and I said in my last fic that I would be focused on KazumixAsuna... Oh well! I'm really happy that this one still doesn't have an end in sight, to be honest! And I have so many different ideas for this that no end in sight could be a good thing! As for other things? well, I won't tell where this part of the story is leading, but do remember that this is happening before the final chapter of the last story, and that it will continue from where that chapter left off.

Thanks for all the reviews! Hope you liked this chapter!

See ya!
