Chapter 7: Learning more about each other and the Patrol
"So will you two kiss to seal the deal?" said Konoemon, stroking his beard.
"S-Sir! W-We can't just…" was all Setsuna could say before she was silenced by Konoka's kiss.
"It'll be alright Setsuna-chan…unless you wanna break our engagement that only lasted only minutes." said Konoka, pulling away a minute later, giggling.
"It's not that I…" Setsuna painfully looked at the ground, "I just think that…you should've chosen someone better than me…"
"Again with that speak? Konoka what do you think?"
"It'll be fine. If not, then I'll be the judge of it." smiled Konoka.
Setsuna gave Konoka a halfhearted smile, "Thanks Konoka…"
They walked back to their room and decided to find out more about each other.
"I'll go first since you'll find out more later on." Setsuna just nodded, "As you know, I'm the only heir to the Magic Association in Kyoto, daughter of Konoe Eishun and granddaughter of Konoe Konoemon. My mother is in the magic world, teaching the mages over there some healing magic. I found out about my magical powers when I was five and been training on how to use it since, but the best thing that I can do and is the best at is healing people." Konoka stuck her tongue out playfully.
"What about when you were born, what's your interest, what's your future dreams and all that stuff?" smirked Setsuna.
"Mou, I was getting to that!" Konoka playfully hit Setsuna, "Anyways you know when my birthday, which was yesterday March 18; I like fortune telling and people say that I'm usually accurate; my current future dream is to marry my one and only." Konoka blushed at the last part.
"What about your three sizes?" Setsuna said jokingly.
"My three sizes are…hey! You'll find out later!" Konoka hit Setsuna again, "Now tell me about yourself."
"I'm…the daughter of a human mother and a demon father…" Setsuna started uneasily, "I was born in the magic world but when I was three, my clan exiled me…my parents didn't want to leave me alone so they took me and we went to live here in the human world…we managed to live deep in the mountains of Kyoto where no one could find us…. My father taught me everything that I know about swordsmanship and my mother taught me the ways of onmyoji." Setsuna half smiled, "They were always…happy…they were always trying their best to not worry about me but…" Setsuna clenched her fists, unable to continue.
Konoka put her hand over Setsuna's, "I'm sorry Setsuna-chan…you…you don't have to continue…just tell me…some things that doesn't really relate to something that you don't like…" Konoka tried to choose her words, but it was hard.
"I was born on January 17, I like to train and dislike chatting with people a lot, my future dream is to become stronger so that I can protect someone that I care about, but it's not turning out so well…" Setsuna gave a halfhearted laugh, "Anything else?"
"What's your three sizes?"
Setsuna pushed Konoka onto the bed and supported her hands on either side of Konoka's head, "That I'll leave to your imagination."
"You're evil." Konoka wrapped her arms around Setsuna's neck and pulled her into a kiss.
Few moments later, Setsuna broke away and sat up, "I guess you're right."
Konoka sat up, "I…I didn't mean it that way!"
Setsuna turned towards Konoka with a sad smile, "I know."
"Oi! Setsuna! Get your ass out here with Konoka!" shouted a voice from behind the door.
Setsuna and Konoka got up and opened the door to see Evangeline standing outside.
"About damn time I found you two! You got two shifts to take over or don't you remember Setsuna?" growled Evangeline.
Setsuna scratched her head, turned towards Konoka and offered her hand, "Shall we?"
Konoka smiled and took her hand, "Let's!"
"I guess that old man was right. The only one that could accept her right away was Konoka…" Evangeline watched the couple walk away.
"Iincho-san, have you seen Asuna-san or Evangeline-san?" asked Negi.
"Asuna went out for a walk earlier and probably wouldn't be back soon. Evangeline-san went to give Sakurazaki-san and Konoka-san the message that they have two shifts to take over now." said Ayaka.
"Asuna-san I could probably find…but Evangeline-san…what if I can't find them?" asked Negi.
"I don't know. Maybe Tatsumiya-san, Nagase-san, or Ku Fei-san knows." suggested Ayaka.
"Alright! I'll try asking them! Thanks Iincho-san!" Negi left the room.
Ayaka got up and checked to see if he was really gone then went back inside the room and locked the door, "Alright Asuna. He's gone."
Asuna came out of the closet the she was hiding in and sighed in relief, "Thanks Ayaka. He's been really bugging me lately and didn't know what to do."
"Maybe he just wanted to talk with you about something?"
"I doubt it. He's just a kid and he always bugs me about the stupidest things!" Asuna sat on her bed and munched on a cookie.
"Like?"
"Like what's it like to be in love when I'm not!" Asuna blushed as she took a bigger bite of the cookie, "I mean what does he want to know what love is?! He's just a 10 year old kid!"
"Anyways…I heard that Konoka-san and Sakurazaki-san are…partners in whatever you're doing."
"Oh yeah…it was Konoka's grandpa's idea. Why I dunno." Asuna shrugged, "I just asked him if he could put Konoka in Sakurazaki-san's room and class for this year and see what happens and look at what happened, Konoka accepts her as a friend and vice versa."
"Then we don't have to worry about her anymore?" asked Ayaka.
Asuna shrugged again, "I really don't know Ayaka…"
Konoka and Setsuna walked around the school grounds in an uncomfortable silence and Konoka decided to break the ice.
"Hey Setsuna-chan…are…are you comfortable…with what gramps wanted and all…" said Konoka.
"I…uh…it's fine…I mean…nobody really cared about me…except for some of my classmates in my old school before but now…everyone's too afraid of me…besides you and some others…" replied Setsuna.
They walked in silence again.
"What…what did you think of our kiss?"
"Wh-Why are you asking that?" Setsuna blushed as she looked at Konoka who was blushing as well.
"Well…before we went to gramp's place, we kissed…then he told us to kiss in front of him to 'seal' our engagement…then we kissed in our room after we were done talking about ourselves."
"O-Oh…the first time…I just wanted to calm you down…" Setsuna blushed, "Then you kissed me because your grandfather told us to do so…the last time was because I was lost in the moment..."
"That or you got comfortable about kissing me…" Konoka blushed a light shade of pink.
"That is not true!"
Konoka giggled more as they walked in silence yet again.
"Do…do you…did you really like me before your grandfather had the omiai?" asked Setsuna.
"If you want to know the truth, all that I had was a little crush on you when we first met."
"Was that all? What made you fully love me then?" Setsuna snuck her arm around Konoka's waist and pulled her closer.
"Hmm…I dunno…maybe the way you kissed me"
"Never knew that my kisses were that good." Setsuna was about to lean in to kiss Konoka again, but pain went through her body, "Argh!"
"Setsuna-chan!" Konoka put her hand on Setsuna's shoulder, "What's wrong?"
'N-Not again!' Setsuna clenched her fists on her shirt, 'Why now?!'

Setsuna looked at Konoka horrified as she found her, "D-Don't look!"
