A/N: I don't own Negima or any of the characters. I decided to make this a series of one-shots based on a central theme using different characters and situations. Hopefully I'll post more as I think of them.

A Day Indoors IV

(Mahou Sensei Negima One Shot)

Sayo watched as the groundskeepers went about their routine. The students weren't in class today so the cleaning lady had already come through to buff the floors and the gardener was relocating a rosebush outside. It was the most excitement she'd seen in ages.

Sayo sighed, watching the clock tick away at her eternity and wondered what Asakura would be doing that day. She hated to always intrude on the other girl, but she really had no other friends that could see her. The vampire had noticed her, but that girl was just plain creepy.

Sayo looked up as the only other person that stood a ghost of a chance (pardon the pun) of seeing her opened the door and stepped into the room. Her sensei, Negi Springfield, was coming in and had with him an extremely large box.

Sayo watched as Negi set the big heavy box on the desk. She then cleared her throat and concentrated for all she was worth. She didn't know she had been successful until Negi screamed.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" Negi screamed jumping about six feet in the air as her ghostly form materialized in front of him. "Sayo will you PLEASE warn me before you do that?"

"I'm sorry sensei; I can't make you hear me until you notice my presence." Sayo said apologetically.

Negi calmed himself and tried to regain his composure. "Here, I've been meaning to do something about this for a while now." He said taking his staff off of his back.

"What are you doing?" Sayo asked as she lost her concentration leaving her sensei with only her voice.

"I'm going to cast an illusion over you so that I can converse with you normally. It is relatively simple with air spirits." Negi replied.

Sayo felt a brief tickle and then Negi looked at her directly. "That should do it."

Sayo looked down at her body. She could even see her feet, something she hadn't been able to do in, well, never. "I have a body now!"

"It's only an illusion so it won't last, but at least I'll be able to look at you while I'm speaking." Negi said turning back to his things.

"Wonderful! Sayo shouted with glee. "So what brings you to the classroom on Sunday?"

"I have to set up a display for tomorrow. Your science teacher has taken maternity leave so I'm having to teacher her class. Takamichi would be doing it, but he said he was too busy… Why are you blushing?" Negi asked in confusion.

Sayo muttered a low reply regretting the fact that Negi was now able to hear and see her fully. She wanted more than anything to sink through the floor at that moment.

"What was that, I didn't quite catch it?" Negi persisted.

"I said it's a class on sex education." Sayo said looking anywhere but at the young teacher.

Sayo stole a quick glance up at Negi to see the color gone form his face. "I'll kill him." Negi said quickly looking into the box to see the various models of the female anatomy laid out before him. It was now Negi's turn to blush, his pale face replaced by a burning red.

"How am I supposed to teach a class full of teenage girls about sex?" Negi asked no one in particular. (Author's note: Get your minds out of the gutter people; it's crowded enough down here already.)

"Let me rephrase that." Negi said suddenly realizing how stupid what he had just uttered had been. "How am I going to teach a class full of teenage girls about sex and still keep my virtue, sanity, and career intact?"

Sayo could sympathize. She'd sat through roughly the same lecture every year for sixty years and when it came to their class, it was going to be nearly impossible to get through it without a great deal of giggling and lewd comments and that was if it were a female teacher doing the talking.

"I have absolutely no experience at this." Negi said sullenly.

"You're ten years old; I'd be surprised if you did." Sayo said trying to stifle a giggle.

"I meant teaching this type of material, but you're right on the other point too." Negi said sadly. "Hey, wait a minute, you've heard this lecture before, why don't I create an illusion and let YOU teach the class!"

"Now wait a minute!" Sayo said nervously. "I died when I was fourteen. I don't have any experience either!"

"Not that Sayo!" Negi said calmly. "But you could at least present the material to the class. I could pass you off as a teaching assistant. I can make your illusion look like anything."

"Still, there may have been the two teachers that got busy here in the class that one time thirty years ago, but other than that I haven't got a clue. I haven't even had a body so that I could relate to the material." Sayo said desperately.

"You watched two teachers having sex in the classroom?" Negi said in shock.

"NO!" Sayo cried in dismay. "I had my back turned the entire time."

"But aren't you able to go anywhere on the school grounds you wish?" Negi asked.

Sayo was quickly getting frustrated. "Well… I kept my back turned most of the time." Sayo finally admitted. "Look, I am NOT a voyeur okay! I mean give me a break will you, I'd never seen anything like it before. It took me a few minutes just to figure out what they were doing."

Negi didn't look very convinced. "Please Sayo; this could really save me here. Do you have ANY idea what it's going to be like trying to explain that to this class? They try to rape me on a regular basis as it is."

Sayo remained firm. "No. As a ghost I am totally unqualified to teach girls about sex." She said turning her back to him.

"Oh come on, Sayo. Sex with ghosts isn't that different…" Negi said before shutting up quickly.

Sayo spun around to find Negi with his hands over his mouth with an alarmed look on his face that made him look like one of the three monkeys from 'See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil'.

"What do you mean, 'sex with ghosts isn't that different'?" Sayo asked pointedly. She had never met another ghost, but if…

"I mean, well…" Negi stammered.

"Out with it!" Sayo demanded; her illusion creating little balls of fire that whirled around her as her form took on an ominous appearance.

"Well, you see, it was something I learned about from my magic studies. We studied ghosts and their possible interaction with humans." Negi said uneasily.

"You mean it's possible for ghosts to do what Asakura calls 'Doing the Nasty' with humans?" Sayo asked in stunned disbelief.

"No. Not as such…" Negi said hesitating.

"Then what?" Sayo said desperately. "Sensei, if you're my teacher and you're supposed to teach sex education to the rest of the girls, then it is only fair that you teach me too."

This seemed to finally win over the boy mage who sighed in defeat. "Alright, since you put it that way. While ghosts don't have a physical body for having conventional sex, they are able to spiritually coexist in the same physical space with another individual…" Negi said as if reciting from some long forgotten text book.

"I know that." Sayo said impatiently. "Powerful ghosts are supposed to be able to possess people and objects; I'm not strong enough to do that and control it though." The last time she'd tried even getting the simplest ideas across to her classmates the result had been cataclysmic.

"Let me finish." Negi said gently. "This isn't possession, though some ghosts do that for the physical pleasure too. Instead, the ghost physically enters the body and uses their power to excite the nervous system of their host; this then causes the host to release waves of positive psychic energy that in turn induce euphoria and ecstasy in the ghost."

Sayo caught herself blushing as if she had just been told about the birds and the bees from an older sister, with some pretty graphic illustrations thrown in for good measure. Sayo swallowed a big gulp, regardless of the fact she didn't need to breathe, and started to feel warm.

"Negi-sensei, please show me." Sayo said pleadingly.

"WHAT!" Negi screamed in disbelief jumping nearly as high as he did when she'd first scared him.

"Negi-sensei, you're the only person who knows about this, and me, that I've met in sixty years. You're the only person that will be able to show me how to do this." Sayo pleaded.

"But Sayo…" Negi said in dismay.

"Please sensei; it isn't the same as real sex. I just won't ever have the chance with anyone else. It took me this long just to find friends like you and Asakura." Sayo said cornering the boy against the wall.

Negi seemed to grapple with himself until finally he reached as decision. "Alright, but you have to promise to help me teach sex education, and I'm NOT going all the way, you can consider this the ghostly equivalent of passionately cuddling."

Sayo nodded emphatically. "So what do I have to do?"

"Well, from what I remember, a lot of ghosts act like the embrace their partners when they enter their bodies but this isn't necessary." Negi said uneasily. "It's more for affection than anything else doing it that way. Any physical contact will work. Let's… let's start by holding hands."

Sayo held out her hand palm forward just as Negi was doing and watched as her hand passed through his. "I came out on the other side."

"Not like that." Negi instructed gently. "Move your hand into mine and hold it their so that they both are occupying the same space."

Sayo did as she was instructed and then looked up at her blushing sensei. "Now what do I do?"

"Well, now you have to try to feel through my fingertips. This is similar to possession, but instead of trying to control my actions, you're simply trying to share in my sensations. It should be much easier." Negi instructed.

"How will I know when I'm doing it right?" Sayo asked.

"When you start to feel using my hands. Your body should also start to move with mine if I move." Negi replied.

Sayo concentrated for all she was worth and was uncertain if she was succeeding until Negi moved his arm and her own hand followed his as if pulled. "It's working!" Sayo cried happily.

Negi smiled and pulled their hands down to the table. For the first time in sixty years Sayo could honestly feel the table. Before, it had only been the memory of a touch long ago. This was enough to make her ecstatic and nearly caused her to loose her concentration.

"I can't believe how long it has been since I've experienced this." Sayo commented as Negi moved his hand across the smooth surface.

"Yes, many ghosts like this as well since they can share in the experience when their partner… well that's a different lesson entirely." Negi said quickly, as he blushed a deep crimson.

"So now what?" Sayo asked in fascination.

"Concentrate on the feeling. Try to manipulate it. Once you are able to do this, you can use it not only make others feel cold at your presence, like all ghosts, you can also induce pain, a feeling of heat, or most importantly for this lesson, pleasure." Negi said mildly. He was a great deal more relaxed now, apparently due to the fact that intimacy with ghosts apparently didn't involve getting naked.

It took Sayo hours to figure out what she was going. Touch was now an alien sensation to her and using it again was a novelty. She figured it wouldn't have been that bad if she'd been more recently deceased. Negi calmly and patiently talked her through her 'first time', even after he yelped from her accidentally inducing pain. Like a normal couple with no experience, the two had to discover what they'd only ever heard about. Finally, it happened.

One moment, Sayo was sitting across the desk from Negi looking down at his hand, the next she was looking up at him as he gasped. His face was contorted not in pain, but his eyes were closed and his lips were moving on their own. A moment later, Sayo felt the euphoria come running through her like a torrent. She reveled in the sensation, her own eyes closing as she felt the warmth flood through her.

If she still had a heart it would probably have been racing, and she was gasping and breathing heavily as if her life still depended on it. It was with disappointment that she felt Negi willfully break the link between them.

"Why did you stop?" Sayo asked in disappointment.

"Because if we don't I'm going to have to change my pants." Negi said gasping for air. "I told you, I'm not going all the way like this, it would be too much like having real sex. You can consider that something like passionately kissing."

Sayo smiled at her sensei and nodded as she felt the euphoria of their link slowly subside. "Thank you sensei." Sayo said before leaning forward. She brushed her lips through his and sent a quick tingling jolt of pleasure through them both. When she pulled back Negi was touching his lips.

"It tingles." Negi said in shock.

"Maybe someday I'll find someone I can fully share these new sensations with that you've shown me, but until then you'll always be my first…" Sayo said giggling playfully.
