Review guesses

Mustachio -Ok assumptions, they're not related, Negi's not a human or if he is a time traveler and is repeating history, Cosmo enthelica (the perfect dream place) is what we are experiencing.

All are good guesses but your very close and far off at the same time. I'll give ya a hint: only three of your theories are correct but it not at the same time. They're almost there yet nowhere close.

-IF you want me to write faster, send me more comments.

-Correct my grammar

-A lot of secret will be unveiled but not all of course.

ChapterVII: Questions, Questions and Oh My Pactio! A Bath! (Final)


Recap: Sage just kissed Negi and the whole class saw. Negi's roommates are ready to hound him and currently he is strolling to his dorm.


*With Negi*

Negi's head was in the clouds as he thought about the kiss that happen a few moments before. He was shock but pleased, weary yet calm. He chuckled at his current mood. Who would think a smooch from his little sister would send him into a aura of peace and happiness. He was so into his thoughts that he barely recognized he was dragged into his room.

Mana shoved him harshly into wall and hissed in his ear as she glared at him with hatred. "Who are you?! What are you?! What do you think when you stroll into a school knowing who you are and what you did?!" Zazie had to pry Mana off the young mage to prevent her from strangling the poor boy because Kaede wouldn't.

She stared at Negi for a moment before she sighed. "You're quite a puzzle aren't you Negi-bozo?"

The red head raised an eyebrow. "Oh? How did you figure that out?"

Mana glared at him. "Ever since we found out that you are 'Bloody Knockout' a ruthless mercenary that supposedly retired from the field. They say that you would brutal attack your enemies and drag their unconscious who knows where. A rumor spread that one of your teammates was killed in battle and you stopped fighting all together."

"Plus you were kissing cousins with your sister. Maybe they should change the expression to kissing siblings just for your case de gozaru." Kaede inputted.

Negi scratched the back of his neck as he stared at the trio before him. "Ok. How about you asked questions and I answer. Deal." The girls glanced at each other and nodded. "Might as well take a seat."

They moved their investigation to the small couch in the center of their shared dorm, although Mana pulled up a chair and Negi sat on the floor.

No one said a word for a moment as they gazed at each other. Surprisingly, Zazie asked the first question…sort of.

"…?" Zazie raised an eyebrow.

Negi smiled fondly. "I not in any romantic relationship with Sage but you stumble on our lovely moments. Sage and I came to terms that we will never be your regular siblings with a love-hate relationship nor Sage will be able to express love well so made a plan to show each other we care five times year. That was our second moment.

Sage kiss wasn't romantic but it was full of emotions. I felt happiness, love, warmth, sadness, anger and guilt. She wanted to release all her emotions in one memorable moment, what's better than a kiss? I was the twin who was closer to his emotions, partially love and happiness. During our periods of love, I just let go. When I nuzzle Sage it's not in a lover fashion, but to tell her, "I feel safe and happy with you." And she understands crystal clear.

If I could I would be showing Sage in years worth of affection but she hates that…she knows I would treat her that way because that's how I treat my other siblings. What would you do if you only had five moments to show all your love to someone you care deeply for? A moment could last for seconds or an entire day. A simple kiss on the cheek could count as a moment and next then you next you only have four left. Opps! You held hands, three left. I try to show every last feeling in those moments and saver them."

Mana glare lost some of its potency but she still looked like she wanted to skin him. "Why should I believe you Bloody?"

Negi stared at Mana with empty eyes. "I had to lose some of my humanity in every one of my battles but I'll tell you, I never killed a person in my life. In fact they're still alive and well. My code name was Bloody KO because I have red hair and my purpose in battle was to incapacitate and kidnap my enemies. I would drag their bodies to the next healing and transport unit. My partner, Underground, would inform me of our next mission, where to go, and who to meet. It's not Sage." He noticed the look Mana gave him as he was talking about his cohort.

Kaede stood in the background watching everything unfold. She was weary of her sensei but felt he wouldn't harm them for so mysterious reason. During the interrogation he wants to clear up any bad air or misunderstandings around them. He wanted them to figure him out. Why do he want them to understand him? Why them? Those questions been bothering her for days but she didn't want to ask because she felt it would take the mystery from Negi.

"Kaede," She was startled out of her thoughts and opened an eye. She jumped when she saw him staring intensely at her. "the answer to your questions require you to trust me and never doubt. The seed of doubt will prevent you to find the answers."

The ninja opened both of her eyes and shock was evidence on her face. 'How did he know?'

Negi stood from his place on the floor and walked towards her until he was directly before her. He had to look down at her since she was sitting on the arm of the couch. "Trust in what you do not understand." He smiled and offered her his hand. "You'll be surprised."

Kaede stared at the outstretched appendage before laughing and accepting his hand. "You're a weird one, aren't you Negi-bozo?"

Mana was alarmed. "Don't you think is strange? A danger, he could turn on us at any moment!"

Zazie noticed that Negi gaze turned to her. She nodded her head and stood up with Negi's other hand in hers. "…" He smiled.

Their combined gaze went to Man who still was glaring at the red head mage. He released both girls' hands and went to Mana. The gunslinger glared became more venous the close he was to her.

He stopped when he was an arm's length away from her. "Mana." Her hand balled into fists. "I do not know what I did to you nor why you hate me so much but I do know that you dislike the idea that I was a mercenary. It may be from my name or I have wrong you in the past…let me show you I am good. Let us be allies. I want to know you and befriend you. I won't let you down." Mana continued to glare at the Mage as he offered his hand. She glances behind him to see a Kaede nodding then back at his determine face.

She closed her eyes and shook hands. "Don't think you're safe." Her eyes burned into his head. "If I even get an inkling that you're harming someone in this school, I give you two new holes in the side of your head."

Negi gulped and nodded. Then he glanced at the clock on the wall. "I think it's time to sleep." The other residences agreed and left to sleep.

Kaede froze then gave him a fox like smile. "Oh Negi-bozo!" She sang. "You have to deal with class tomorrow because everyone else saw you kiss your sister."

Negi skin paled and his eyes widen. "G-good n-night." With that Negi went to sleep with horrible nightmares of his homeroom class.
