"And, that's how you can respond to a confession Negi, although I'm not really an expert on the subject" Naruto said as he relaxed in the open air bath.
"Aah," Negi said with a relaxed sigh; he planned to take everything Naruto said to heart. "Hey you two don't let your guard down or girls will come in again!" Chamo chastised.
"It'll be fine…This is 'sensei time', so students can't come in," Negi said, but at that exact moment the door opened to reveal Shizuna in a bath towel, Naruto raised an eyebrow to something but wouldn't voice his concern yet.
"Ara? Naruto, Negi-sensei," Shizuna said with her usual smile. "Hello Shizuna-san" greeted Naruto as Negi panicked being near the woman as she crouched down "You two did great today, would you like some help washing your backs?"
"N…No that's al-" Negi tried to say but was interrupted "that would be fine by us Shizuna-san" said Naruto smiling at the woman who blushed and got in the bath. She giggled and got behind Naruto to wash his back "The truth is Naruto I know all about your and Negi-sense's secret…"
Naruto raised and eye brow as Negi squeaked in fright "What secret would that be?" he asked. "That you two are mages right?" she said Naruto tilted his head with a confused expression "I honestly have no idea what you're on about Shizuna-san. Who told you that the principal?"
She turned him round so Naruto was facing her and her magnificent chest "Well I wouldn't know about that. Though I have a request…can I see your magic Naruto-kun?" she asked. "I'm not sur-" his face was pushed into her chest making Negi shout "Naruto-nii, Shizuna-sensei?" in shock.
Naruto managed to pull his head out blushing a bit "I knew they looked smaller Shizuna-san" he commented she was shocked so blurted out "W…What? I'm the forth largest in the class you know. I'll even let you touch them to prove it Naruto" she then went red as she saw Naruto smirk.
"Fourth largest in the class? Who are you!" Negi demanded.
"I've guessed you've figured it out. One moment I'm a big breasted teacher and next I am the breaking news reporter! My true identity is 3-A's seat 3, Kazumi Asakura!" She grabbed her wig and threw it off, to reveal the red haired teen, without the ponytail.
"Hmm, your hair looks nice down like that Kazumi-chan" Naruto commented unaffected by the reveal having guessed who it was already "Really…?" she asked.
"Aniki this is bad. She found out about us erase her memory" Chamo shouted making Negi pull out his wand "R…R…R…Ras Tel…" he was interrupted by Kazumi pulling out her phone.
"Whoa whoa whoa, hold your horses," Kazumi said holding up a phone. "Make one move towards me, all I have to do is press the send button and all your secrets will be revealed to the world through my home page."
She then felt a breeze and found that her phone was no longer in her hands and instead in Naruto's "Now Kazumi-chan I can't have a student threatening a teacher can I now?" he said pressing the delete button. "Care to tell us why you are doing this Kazumi-chan and no lies please or there will be consequences" he said with a Chizuru like smile.
"Because it's a scoop, it's all for the sake of the scoop. I wanted you to help me with my ambition…" she said smirking "Ambition?" questioned Chamo.
That's right I'll have eyes of the world on me with my discovery of real life mages" she said with determination. "I'll have exclusive interviews, and the newspapers and magazines of the world crawling at my feet. And you two will star all over the world as a result of the coverage."
"I don't want that sort of thing to happen!" Negi cried. "But I'll give you an equal share of the profit. You too Naruto-kun!" assured Kazumi as Naruto shook his head. "No thanks, my bank account is pretty much being paid into everyday thanks to my other income, last I checked it was over 6 figures."
Chamo and Kazumi's mouths dropped "How…?" wondered Chamo as did Kazumi but she shook her head "But you could do something else instead of a boring teacher's job Naruto-kun you too Negi-sensei. Wouldn't you both like to use magic anytime you want?" she questioned them both.
Negi was crying and sniffling that his identity was found and she was giving him an ultimatum. His brain snapped and he began wailing. "I don't want that to happen! WAAAAAAHHH! I WANT TO BE A TEACHER!" His wind magic went berserk and sent Kazumi flying away.
"Kazumi-chan" shouted Negi using a couple tails to grab her while using another to whack Negi's head "Calm down Negi and get control of your self" he told the boy. Naruto then pulled Kazumi back down with his tails depositing her in his arms, she instantly went as red as her hair feeling the muscles on his chest retracting the tails.
"You okay Kazumi-chan?" he asked seeing that she looked unhurt "H…Hai" she mumbled "Naruto-kun…what were those…" she tried to ask. "Kazumi-chan what you did was unintelligent…there are reasons why magic isn't known to everyone. If people knew about magic it could start wars among the people resulting in many lives lost. I know you have morals so please don't ever consider revealing this secret."
He quickly opened his senses to check if anyone was close, finding no one he unleashed his ears and tails "I'm trusting you with this secret Kazumi-chan please…don't betray my faith in you" he said pleading a little as he set her down.
"Are…are they real?" she asked in disbelief of what she was seeing "Yes…touch them if you like" he said repeating her own words and bending down so she could touch the ears. She reached up to feel the soft white fur around the ears before scratching behind them making the tails wag in happiness.
"…Wow" she said before Naruto retracted them quickly much to her disappointment "Hey! What's going on in there?" Ayaka asked from the outside. "What's with those crying sounds?"
Ayaka, Makie Yuuna, Fuuka and Asuna walked in and saw Kazumi, Negi and Naruto all clad in towels. "Naruto-kun?" Yuuna shouted in shock.
"Negi-kun?" Makie yelled just as surprised. "Asakura-san?" Ayaka bellowed angrily. "Asakura-san! I asked you to investigate and you go and do this?"
"What are you doing with Naruto-kun and Negi-kun?" Makie questioned fumingly. "HELP!" Kazumi screamed as the girls attacked her. "Hey where are you going…get back here Naruto" shouted Asuna as he made a break for it seeing his close position to Kazumi and how it could be taken.
A few minutes later, "Ow ow ow!" Kazumi groaned from her pounding head. "Look like that scoop has ended up a dead one…I guess I'm really no match for a couple of mages."
That's not true ane-san!" Chamo disagreed. "You really shined back there!"

Ako and Akira were currently walking the halls at seven thirty at night having a private conversation completely unaware of the spy.
"Seat number five, Izumi Ako, confessed to a graduate student in March, but was rejected. Currently without a boyfriend, has a shy personality, but is quite athletic." The sound of a camera snapping was heard. "Seat number six, Okochi Akira, currently without a boyfriend; very athletic. The ace of the swimming club; it seems the high school club has high expectations of her. A shy and quiet person."
The stalker quickly slipped away and made towards the stairs where Mana was walking down; the stalker hid behind the corner and took a picture. "Seat number eight, Tatsumiya Mana, unknown whether she has a boyfriend or not. It seems she works part time at a shrine within the academy as a priestess."
The stalker walked by Mana acting as nonchalant as possible to not give away what she was doing and headed into the open bath where Chao, Ku and Hakase were relaxing in a bath. "Seat number nineteen, Chao Lingshen, genius number one; unstoppable at everything, whether it is school, sports or cooking," the stalker listed off. "Seat number twenty-four, Satomi Hakase, genius number two; has no interests outside of her research. Her nickname is of course the professor…Neither of them have boyfriends. Heh…All the better for us!"
"Just what I expected from 3-A's database" Chamo said from the bush. "These are just the sort of girls I've been looking for!"
The stalker let out a happy giggle as she kneeled down in the bush with a camera in hand. "This is nothing…Just leave it to me, a member of the news club! My classmates can't hide a thing from me!" The stalker, a haired down Asakura Kazumi, cheered. "They don't call me the Mahora Paparazzi for nothing, you know!"
"Yeah! Awesome!" Chamo cheered with the reporter. "I've got it reporter nee-san! We'll definitely need your help on 'Operation X'."
"Uhuhuhu…Well then, let's make a contract," Kazumi said with a smirk. "But, I suppose I will receive some sort of compensation in exchange…"
"Okay! Okay!" Chamo said dismissively as he smoked a cigarette. "We'll give you exclusive rights to gather data on us after this. Just don't tell Naruto-sama about this other wise you might not get anything"
The sound of laughing could be heard by Yue as she took a bath.

"EEEH? Someone found out about your magic?" Asuna screeched in shock. "And of all people Asakura?"
"Y-Yes," Negi said sadly and a tearful sniff. "Yup," Naruto said simply not too bothered
"How come? How did this happen? Of all the people it had to be the paparazzi girl?" Asuna continued to rant. "In all fairness she caught Negi when he saved this little girl here from being run over, even if he could have used his magic to push the cat instead of flipping the car" he noted petting the saved cat named Yurine now, in his lap.
"UUUN…having Asakura find out is as bad as having the world find out you know" Asuna pointed out "I doubt it…I showed her what you saw the first time you met me as a sign of trust to her. I don't think she'll reveal the truth anytime soon" said Naruto.
"Hey Negi-sensei!" Kazumi greeted as she came into the room with Chamo on her shoulder. "What do want Asakura?" Asuna glared at the girl. "Are you here to pick on Negi?"
"Pick on Negi? What are you talking about?" said Kazumi confused "Aniki, reporter-nee-san is on our side now!" Chamo cheered.
"That's right. Chamo here convinced me to turn over a new leaf. So from here on out I am your agent if you need me," Kazumi said "I'll not reveal his or your secret Naruto-kun" she said sending him a smile.
He walked over to her to give her a small hug which she made her go "eep" in embarrassment "Thank you Kazumi-chan" she returned the hug before putting an envelope in his hands "it's fine Naruto-kun and here's the negatives of the photos taken before" he smiled at her more for this.
He tossed the envelope to Negi who caught it "WAAA, alright thank you Asakura-san" he said breaking into tears of happiness "Thank you so much! This makes me lose one problem,"
"What's going on Negi-sensei?" Ayaka asked with the rest of 3-A behind her.
"I was just improving my relationship with Asakura-san" he said not thinking making Naruto chuckle seeing some of the faces. "Don't say things like that Negi-sensei. You're my teacher and I already have my eyes set on another boy," she smiled glancing at Naruto.
"Hey girls it's almost time for bed. Get back to your rooms!" Nitta-sensei said. He turned towards Negi. "Negi-san, Naruto-san, please don't get too soft on your students."
"You know you can just call me Naruto, Nitta" Naruto chuckled as the man sent a slight glare, that Naruto sent a foxy grin in return. "Y…Yes I'm sorry" Negi apologized to the senior teacher as Yuuna was staring at Kazumi as she stood close to Naruto.
"Hmm…He's—" Asuna began, but was interrupted by Setsuna. "Kagurazaka-san, let's begin patrol," Setsuna said as she started to head out and Asuna followed her. Naruto decided to retire to his room so he could feed Yurine and seeing if he had anything to be used as a collar for her.
Yuuna and Makie headed back to their room "Bleeh stupid Nitta" muttered Makie "We wasted last night on sleep. But tonight we're going to play all night long also did you see Naruto ca-" she couldn't finish as a pillow hit her face throw by Ako and the room began a pillow fight.
"…And, the next night, when that Mangaka was working all by himself…" Misa said to Shiina, Madoka, Natsumi, Fuuka and Fumika in a eerie voice. "There came a voice from a radio which should have been discontinued…A voice from a woman no longer of this world!"
"GYAAH!" The twins screamed together in fright. "EEEH?" Yue, Haruna and Konoka screamed together in happy surprise.
"You confessed to Negi-kun?" Konoka asked with a happy smile "We've got to toast this" said Haruna but Yue then handed a letter to Nodoka "Naruto asked me to give this to you a little after we got back."
Nodoka opened it to find a chibi drawing of Naruto giving her the thumbs up "Well done Nodoka-chan…you should be proud of yourself, Naruto" the letter said. The other girls looked at the letter and 'awwed' "that Naruto-kun always so considerate" said Haruna as her mind wandered into adult rated fantasies.
"Hey 3-A! Cut it out!" Nitta barked as he stormed in a half hour later with Shizuna and Seruhiko at his side. "Sheesh…I thought it was a little too quiet last night! I know Negi-sensei is soft on you girls, but as long as I'm director of academy external activities, I won't let you have your way!" Nitta continued to berate angrily.
"From this point onwards, you are all forbidden to leave your rooms! If I find any of you outside, you'll find yourself squatting in the lobby! Are we clear?" "EEEH?" Fumika squawked fearfully. "Squatting in the lobby?" Yuuna asked in shock and outrage.
Nitta walked down the stairs huffing with Seruhiko following closely behind him. "Sorry about this everyone," Shizuna whispered to the girls. "Boo! This is boring!" Fuuka finally complained. "I want a pillow fight!"
"And I didn't even get to have an indecent talk with Naruto-kun…" Misa said with a pout "And I wanted to sleep in the same futon as Negi-kun" muttered Makie. All right, I get the picture! Now hurry up back to your rooms!" Ayaka ordered with an annoyed tick, but that's when she heard a condescending laugh.
"Looks like she's getting mad~" said Kazumi by the door "Asakura-san? Damn it where were you all this time? You coward" called Ayaka to the girl annoyed. "Hey come on now. I've got a suggestion for everyone. Wouldn't it be a waste if the night just ended like this" Kazumi said smirking.
"Why don't we and the rest of 3-A play a little game?" she said "What are you talking about?" Ayaka demanded in fury. "As the class president I will not allow this!"
"A game? What sort of game?" Shiina asked as she ignored her class president's objections. "Agreed" Fuuka cheered "Opposed, I don't want to squat in the lobby" Fumika countered her sister.
"Let's just call it 'The war of the lips'…a plan to get a love kiss with Negi-sensei or Naruto-kun during the school trip" she said sticking her tongue out. "I've reached an understanding with Negi-kun and Naruto-kun's manager."
"EEH? A kiss with Negi-kun?" Makie asked with delighted wide eyes as the girls blushed in happiness except Ayaka who blushed in absolute shock. "Hey, Hey! Not so loud! Nitta's going to come around again!" Kazumi whispered harshly.
'A k-k-kiss with Negi-sensei?' Nodoka thought blushing so brightly she was literally glowing red.
"The rules are simple. Every group will choose two representatives. All they have to do is not get caught by Nitta-sensei and everyone else, and get a kiss from Negi-sensei, who's in his room, and Naruto-sensei, who's somewhere in the building. You are allowed to sabotage the other teams! However, the only weapons you can use are pillows! There are wonderful prizes for those who do well. Furthermore, if you get caught by Nitta-sensei, you can't tell him about the game! You'll have to squat there until morning even if you end up dead! Kissing Negi-sensei or Naruto-kun is the main goal and if you kiss either it's the end of the game," Kazumi explained. "That's harsh! Once you get caught, no one can help you-aru!" Ku said in quiet excitement.
"Just what is this 'wonderful prize'?" Fuuka wondered aloud. "It's a secret! But, you should be looking forward to it!" Kazumi whispered.
There were mummers of who the girls wanted to kiss some for Negi some for Naruto, 'So this is who I'm up against along side Zazie' she thought as Ayaka then walked over to Kazumi, "Asakura-san…"
"Hm? You mean we can't do it after all, Iincho?" Kazumi asked crossing her arms. "Let's do it! As the class president, I wholeheartedly approve!" Ayaka whispered with a bright blush as she slapped the paparazzi girl's shoulder psyched to kiss Negi now.
"Thanks…" Kazumi said uncertainly before turning to everyone and pumping her arm in the air. "Alright! Every group should let me know which two contestants they will be choosing before ten thirty! The game begins at eleven!"
"YEAH" The class shouted with a whisper…somehow. "Uwah! Looks like things are getting exciting!" Ako said practically shaking with excitement. "I'm gonna go for it!" Yuuna said readily wanting to kiss Naruto now. Meanwhile bets were being placed be some of the girls not taking part.
Kazumi laughed haughtily away from everyone. "How was that? Everything went well, right?" Kazumi asked as Chamo popped out of her chest.
"Just what I expected from nee-san! Everything is going according to plan!" Chamo said with a thumb's up to the reporter. "And where do you think you're hiding? You are a real pervert you know" she commented pulling him out her shirt muttering something about only Naruto.
"My big 'Love-Love Kiss' operation's other side takes the form of these cards!" Chamo declared as he summoned three cards to him. One was the Pactio Card that Asuna currently had along with a mistake version of her's from the botched kiss before they faced Chachamaru in a surprise attack. The other card was the mistake card Konoka created at the store a couple of days ago. "The Pactio Cards! We're gonna get a whole bunch of them!"
"So these are the 'wonderful prizes', eh? All we have to do is collect them, right?" Kazumi said as she examined them.
"That's right! Aniki has the originals, but these are copies I've made with my power for the partners to use! If we count these two mistakes, then Aniki already got three of them. But Naruto-sama only has one with Zazie ane-san at the moment" Chamo said with a please smile. "I've already set up a magic circle around this entire hotel! If anyone kisses Aniki or naruti-sama while they're in the hotel, we'll be able to establish a contract immediately."
"One card is worth 50,000 ermine dollars so…if we get everyne that 30x 50,000…Awawa. We're going to be millionaires nee-san" cheered Chamo thinking about the money. "And what's more, we're gonna make even more money out of the betting pools for the contest! This is great! I just can't stop laughing" and, just as Kazumi said she was laughing nonstop.
'Again…?' Natsumi thought worriedly and suddenly decided she didn't want to join in the game.
Back in Negi and Naruto's room, Negi let out a sorrowful sigh. "It's going to be eleven o'clock soon. It looks like today was a disaster too…" he continued but felt Naruto rub his head " Negi there are worse things that can happen to you in a day" he told him
"Negi, we're back from patrolling!" Asuna announced as she stepped into the room. "Are you keeping that cat now Naruto?" she then asked seeing the cat curled around his neck.
"Yeah but I think it will also make a nice present for Cha-chan too when we get back, any problems?" he told Asuna. "There were no sign of abnormalities. I've made the barrier stronger too," Setsuna told the boy. "Chamo seems to have cast some kind of weird spell as well…I wonder what he's up to."
Okay, I'll go on patrol next," Negi decided as he suddenly felt a shiver go up his spine. "For some reason, I'm getting a weird feeling about tonight. Like it would be better for me not to be here or something…"
Naruto then felt the same chill "I feel it too Negi…I don't think it's something to worry about now though come on lets head out" he said standing up taking the cat with him.
"Now that you mention it I feel it too. Although not hostile," Setsuna interjected. "But won't the other teachers worry if you disappear in the middle of the night?" Asuna asked seriously.
"Not a problem for me…watch Kage Bunshin no jutsu" he said making a copy of himself "Here ladies is an honest to kami clone of me and is inextinguishable from the original"
"Hmm…well then I shall lend you these substitution stencils" said Setsuna handing Negi the man shaped paper charms. "Substitution stencils?" he questioned not knowing about them.
"Negi-sensei, Naruto It's almost time to go to sleep…oh what a cute cat you have there Naruto" Shizuna said as she opened the door to their room. "Thanks picked her up earlier and she's going to be a gift for someone" he told her scratching the cat making her purr winking at Shizuna.
"Ah yes, I was about to got to sleep" said Negi "Very well, we'll handle looking over the children. Please don't leave your room," Shizuna told him as she walked off. As she turned the corner she removed her hair to reveal Kazumi.
"Hurry up nee-sama. The game is about to begin!" Chamo shouted. "Ok, ok calm down Chamo-chan. I've set up the video cameras already so we're prepared for anything."
From within a secret room she had set up a screen that had six videos being streamed into all the TV's for the class of 3-A. "I'm a little shocked by the extra contenders" muttered Kazumi looking at the teams
The representatives were Fuuka and Fumika for group 1,
Kaede, Chao and Ku for group 2,
Group 3 was being represented by Ayaka, Chizuru and Chisame,
Group 4 by Makie, Mana and Yuuna,
Finally group 5 was Yue and Nodoka. "All right let the games begin!" Kazumi shouted into the microphone.

"Well Negi I'm heading out to patrol see you all later" said Naruto placing the cat on his clone then walking out the room before feeling a shiver again and walking down the hall.
'Naruto-kun had appeared in the halls now but who will be the one to claim his lips first as several contenders has announced their target to be him' Kazumi said into the microphone
Walking down the halls Naruto had the sense that something was getting closer and immediately ducked under what would have been a flying kick from Chao "Chao-chan any reason why you're here?" he asked the girl who was smirking "Just playing a game Naruto-kun…seems tonight someone will be claiming these lips of yours"
'This has Chamo's name all over it I swear' he thought dryly as he prepared to run "Well I'm not easy to catch so…" he then vanished and appeared behind Chao "Gotta go" he said running away thinking of a place to go.
Back in the room however "Did it get colder in here or is it just me?" Negi said from within the confines of his room. "I may as well use these stencils Setsuna-san gave me. She told me to write my name in Japanese with a brush." Negi wrote on the first one, but instead of Negi he wrote Nugi. The next attempt was Mnugi, with the third being Hogi, Nupri, the fourth was spelled Migi. On the fifth and final attempt he finally got his name write. "Finally I wrote it write. Charm-san Charm-san please take my place."
In a flash of white light the stencil became a clone of Negi. "Hello I am Negi." "Wow it looks just like me. We don't have anything like this in the west," Negi commented. "Alright please take my place and sleep."
"I'm Negi" the copy said "Alright I'm off to patrol!" Negi shouted as he jumped out the window. As his copy closed the curtains, the stencils in the trash came to life.
"Hello others I am Negi. It seems like a bunch of you were created," Copy-Negi said to his "brothers".
"Yes" replied the other four. "My orders were to stay here and sleep" said another. "I don't have orders," one of the failed copies said. "Nor I." the three repeated. "Well then let's just watch some TV while we wait." Naruto's clone was asleep peacefully

"Hey Yuuna, I heard Negi was sleeping in the teacher's room," Makie said to her friend. "But there is a chance that Nitta will be there somewhere nearby. What should we do?"
"We'll let our competition handle him," Yuuna said with a smirk 'I'll be sure to find Naruto-kun first and get my prize'
"Hey Iincho are you sure we can't go back," Chisame complained to Ayaka 'it's not like I want to be here even if Naruto is als-NO not now' she thought to herself
"Chisame-san you give up too easily," Ayaka shot at her. When they reached the end of the hall way the bumped into Makie and Yuuna. "Iincho/Makie!" the two girls shouted at each other and swung their pillows. They hit each other in the head dead on, making them dizzy.
"Good job Makie, you got Iincho!" Yuuna cheered as she went to hit Chisame. Chisame just walked out of the way mumbling something about finding him on her own.
"Oh I see a lot of prey here!" Ku Fei shouted as she and Kaede came down the stairs. Ku ran down the stairs and jumped. "Chinese triple pillow throw!" She threw the pillows that were mouth and hands at Chisame, Ayaka and Yuuna. Chisame got knocked out from the force of the pillow through. The three groups proceeded to smack the living hell out of each other, from which everyone saw on screen.
"Chisame-san, give me some back up!" Ayaka shouted. She turned around when she got no response. "She's gone!"
In another hallway Chisame was walking, talking to herself and cleaning her glasses. When she stopped in front of a door, it slid open to reveal Nitta. He grabbed her by the collar when she tried to run, "Hasegawa what do you think you are doing?" he said before feeling drowsy and falling asleep mumbling feathers.
"Hey Chisame-chan" said the voice of Naruto as he appeared behind her "He'll be fine but I think you should get out of here" he said running off followed by Chao a few second later, then Chizuru giggling her way along and oddly Mana who seemed calm as she walked along.
'Seems Naruto has taken out Nitta for the moment but is being pursued by three contenders only time will tell who catches the elusive teacher' said Kazumi making the girls more excited over what could happen in the game.

"Yue," Nodoka called out to her best friend. "What is it. I'm kinda busy," Yue responded.
"Why are we traveling on the roof to get to Negi-sensei?" Nodoka and Yue were crawling on the ledge of the roof.
"By my calculations, this is the safest and quickest route to Negi-sensei," Yue explained. "His room is at the end of the building, and going to it from the inside will lead us into trouble with the other groups."
"I see so if we use this way we can easily reach the room using the fire escape." When they finally got to the roof part they saw Naruto sitting down strumming his guitar. "N-Naruto-sensei!"
Naruto looked up to see the two girls on the roof. "Ara? Nodoka-chan and Yue-chan…your after Negi aren't you?" he asked getting nods "go ahead, Nitta's asleep at the moment go and win Nodoka-chan, Fight" he said giving her a nice guy pose.
They nodded and sneaked insode while a few other girls came out onto the roof. "Why are you running away Naruto-kun don't you like us" said Chao pouting, "No but I like a girl who can keep up now if you'll excuse me" he said turning round to come face to face with Mana.
"You, Me, Kiss, Now." She said trying to grab him but he jumped and flipped over the roof before slipping back inside the building "That was both odd and nice at the same time" he muttered rushing to find another hiding place.
"No one's here yet…This is our chance," Yue whispered as the two quietly walked down the hall. "Room Three-oh-Four over there is Negi-sensei's room. Come on, Nodoka. Let's go."
"Ri…Right! Thanks!" Nodoka thanked bashfully. 'A…A kiss with Negi-sensei…'
Suddenly a rope ladder fell from the ceiling and a voice said, "No one is here yet…Now's our chance!"
Nodoka looked up to see a ceiling tile removed and the Narutaki twins dressed up in ninja garbs climbing down.
"Ah! Team Five!" Fumika yipped as she noticed the library girls.
"Damn it! Eliminate them Fumika!" Fuuka ordered.
"Fuu-chan, Fumi-chan?" Nodoka questioned still surprised.
"Narutaki Ninjutsu Style: Split Body Technique!" The twins declared as they stood side by side and held two pillows each.
"But, their bodies aren't splitting at all?" Nodoka whispered to herself as the twins technique really did nothing at all.
Undeterred by their failed technique, Fuuka prepared her pillow attack. "Kouga thro—"
Fuuka was cut off as a pillow suddenly slammed into her head causing her to drop one of her pillows. "Fuuka-san Fumika-san! I will be your opponent!" Yue declared very manga-like to the two girls.
"Damn you Yue-kichi! That was rough! Do you think you can oppose a unit of Kouga Ninja de gozaru?" Fuuka barked to the girl nervously.
"That's what she's thinking!" Fumika said frightened, but she had no time to comprehend when Yue slammed a pillow on top of both of their heads and leaving them there.
"Y…You've done it now!" Fuuka declared angrily until she saw Yue pull out two heavy textbooks and held one in each hand menacingly.
"Ah! She's bringing out some kind of dangerous weapon!" Fumika squeaked as Yue slammed the books on the two girls' heads right over the pillows causing the two to cry out in pain.
"Yue-kichi! Books are against the rules!" Fuuka cried out pitifully as the book hit her head once more. "OW!"
"If I hit you over the pillows it's allowed," Yue said smugly as she whacked them again before they could even think to dodge and Nodoka could only there in stunned disbelief at her friend.
"I'll hold them back here…Nodoka, hurry up and get through that door!" Yue ordered as the twins finally counterattacked with their pillows.
"Y…Yue…B…But…Auu…" Nodoka stuttered out; she didn't want to abandon her friend!
Just then Naruto skidded in as Ku Fei and Kaede walked by "Look Kaede it's Naruto-kun catch him before Chao has the chance-aru" said Ku Fei as the ninja nodded and sprinted to Naruto only to be blocked by Mana with a kick "You want him, you get by me" she said to her.
Naruto saw the interaction and thought 'do I stay and watch and see how she fights or run…tough choice but running will be more fun for them' seeing as he was nearly surrounded he used his chakra to run 'on' the ceiling to get passed the girls before pushing Nodoka into the room.
Once inside the room she spotted a sleeping Negi and blushed realizing she was alone in his room. Gathering as much courage as she could, Nodoka sat down next to the sleeping Negi's futon. "N…Negi-sensei…I'm sorry…It had to be like this…B…But…I'm glad…Sensei…please let me kiss you…"
Slowly she began to bend over… "N…Negi-sensei…I…I'm going ahead… " Nodoka said as she slowly bent forward, but she couldn't help but notice a strange sense of déjà vu. 'Huh? Didn't something like this happen before?'
"Chu," stencil Nugi said from the top of the futon stopping Nodoka in her tracks as she saw four other Negis in the room. "It's a kiss!" Stencil Migi said excitedly. "She's going for it!" Stencil Hogi concurred.
Stencil Yagi: "Understood!" Stencil Yagi said with a nod and Nodoka suddenly started to feel dizzy and freaked out at the same time.
"HYAAAH!" Nodoka had screamed in a terrified voice. "What was that scream-aru?" Ku wondered in surprise as she sat on Yue. "Honya! What's wrong-aru?" Ku asked as she and Yue went into the room to see Nodoka passed out on the ground.
'Negi I swear you cause trouble like used to' thought Naruto as he felt the different substitution stencils with Negi's magic signature.
"Nodoka! Get a hold of yourself! Nodoka!" Yue cried as she cradled the girl's head and shook her.
"Five Negi-senseis…" Nodoka said dizzily. "What are you talking about?" Yue asked with a puzzled frown.
"Oh crud…" said Naruto as Mana and Kaede were at either side of the hall and there was no sign of escape. "Oh well…Kage Bunshin no jutsu" he said creating 4 clones to conceal himself "Scatter" he commanded as they all split up two getting caught in holds by the two girls only for them to go up in a puff of smoke.
"Darn…Naruto-kun is a good ninja don't you think Mana de-gozaru" said Kaede thinking it would be harder to catch him if he used that skill. "Hmm…guess I need this after all" she said pulling out a 9mm loaded with rubber bullets.
'Wow this is shocking both Negi-sensei and Naruto-kun has doppelgangers now but Negi-sensei's seem to be about to kiss some of the other girls. The hunt for Naruto continues however…seems Naruto is using more of his ninja skill' said Kazumi as Naruto changed tactics and used the 'henge' technique to change into a wolf.
'This should help me for a few minutes' thought Naruto since he had more agility in wolf form. However as he came to a corner he crashed into someone while focusing on the others "Umph" he said as the henge undid itself and Naruto found himself above Chizuru.
"Looks like I found you Naruto-kun. Might I ask to kiss you?" she asked with a innocent face but Naruto felt he'd be in trouble if he said anything but yes. He was 'saved' by Chao grabbing his back and pulling him away "Sorry Chizuru that kiss is mine" said Chao "But you kiss him when I'm done."
"I'd rather just have the first kiss myself really Chao-san" she said tilting her head as Mana and Kaede came round the corner Naruto sweat dropped seeing now way out unless he used magic an with camera about and him not being Negi he decided against it.
"I take it you found the other clones?" he asked form his position of Chao and Chizuru holding an arm "You owe me a kiss for the wasted ammunition Naruto" said Mana as they got closer and Naruto silently hoped Nitta ha woken up which he had…before being knocked out by the multiple Negis.

"I'm back!" Negi called, but noticed the strange tension inside the building though it was more like his class' usual energy than anything evil. "Huh? It seems like there's some kind of commotion going on…"
"Come on, Nodoka!" Yue said as she pushed the surprised girl toward the ten year old teacher. "Ah…Miyazaki-san…" Negi acknowledged with a bright red blush. "Se…Negi-sensei…" Nodoka stuttered out with a blush just as bright.
"Nee-san! It's the real Aniki! He has the staff!" Chamo said as he watched the screen stopping Kazumi's plans of escape right in their tracks.
"W…What did you say…?" Kazumi asked surprised. "Ooh?" Misa, Madoka and Shiina said together happily at the newest development.
"Um…About what happened this afternoon…" Negi began to explain. "Eh…" Nodoka squeaked before she began to panic. "N-No, we don't have to talk about that…As long as you heard what I said, that's…"
"Huh?" Asuna asked as she and Setsuna walked around the corner to see the event play out.
"I'm sorry Miyazaki-san. I…To like someone…I still don't really understand…" Negi apologized as kindly as he could and Nodoka couldn't help but feel a little disheartened. "Ah, of course I like Miyazaki-san, b-but I like everyone in my class. I like Asuna-san and Konoka-san, Iincho and everyone in the Baka Rangers…I mean 'like' in the teacher and student relationship—"
"N-No, um…Sensei, that—" Nodoka tried to reassure the boy as Yue just stood there quietly.
"I can't give you a proper answer Miyazaki-san, but…Um…As friends…How about we start off as friends?" Negi asked hopefully and Nodoka's heart soared at that.
"Okay," Nodoka said with the happiest smile Yue Negi had ever seen. '…That's right…This is the real person after all…And he's just ten years old,' Yue thought as she sipped a juice before tripping her so she fell on top of Negi to kiss him both apologizing once they realized what happened.
Asuna and Setsuna were then treated to the sight of Naruto being tied up and dragged back into the hall by Chao, Kaede, Mana and Chizuru, "Ara…looks as though the game might be over now who kisses Naruto-kun first de-gozaru?" asked Kaede.
Sparks flew in between the girls eyes and looked ready to fight again "Um…can I make a suggestion…Janken" said Naruto currently cutting the ropes with his nails and wind chakra without them noticing. The girls nodded and paired off Chao vs. Chizuru and Kaede vs. Mana the first winners being Chao and Kaede and the two 'battled' only to have Chao win.
"Yes Naruto-kun lips are mind tonight" she said pumping her fist. "Well we can still kiss him while he's tied up can't we?" mused Chizuru with the other nodding in agreement. Chao grabbed his face and moved her lips onto Naruto's 'tastes like ramen' she thought.
Asuna's jaw dropped at the sight 'What the hell does he think he's doing?' she thought annoyed at the scene, even more when Kaede then went up to kiss him. "I think I'll enjoy this de-gozaru" she said kissing and getting the feel of his lips and savouring their flavour.
Everyone just stared as Naruto seemed to get kissed by the other girls, some in jealousy over it but reasoned he couldn't help it since he was tied up. Naruto was secretly enjoying the feel of the girl's lips and what feeling they conveyed in the kiss, all with genuine care for him. Mana and Chao having a little curiosity in their kisses and also felt a bit of magic from a couple
When they were done Naruto was dazed from all the affection 'best trip ever…' said his perverted side. "Alright! We got the 'Miyazaki Nodoka Pactio Card'!" Chamo cheered as he held a card up.
"And four cards for Naruto-sama but he seems to have artifacts for himself too oddly" he then said holding the cards. Kazumi was biting her thumb 'I would have left if I could have gotten a kiss from Naruto-kun too'
"Yeah! And we got six cards from the fake senseis too!" Kazumi said without much enthusiasm. "It wasn't the result I had expected, but that's how it is," Chamo said as he held the new cards in one paw and a cigarette in the other. "It seems that Naruto-sama gets a card to himself when he make a pactio."
"Alright! Let's split, Chamo-chi!" Kazumi said as she opened the door and stepped out only to hit something strangely firm. "Hm?"
"I see…Asakura. So you were the ring leader…" Nitta said imposingly.
"All of you squat until morning!" Nitta yelled furiously. "You too, Negi-sensei and, don't even think about running away Naruto-sensei! Sheesh…playing with your students like that…"
"In my defence I was tied up" he said seeing all four of his new partners had blushes on their faces then spotted a rat "Oh Chamo come here a moment" he said grabbing him while he was sweating rodent.
"You big trouble, your half of money now mine as favour for the bet we made before and I'll give the prizes to the girls tomorrow" the ermines mouth dropped seeing as he just lost a lot of money and couldn't do anything about it.

It was now day 3 of the trip and all the girls were crowding around Nodoka and the girls who kissed Naruto admiring their cards that they had been given.
Nodoka's had a picture of her in her school uniform on with a blue jacket. A magic circle was directly behind as well as seven books. On her side were two open books in the middle of changing pages and in front of her was an open book that had the words "Diarium Ejus" written on the front.
Kaede's had her in her ninja wear holding a sword into a wider sickle-like blade with a long black chain attached to the hilt. But also other weapon images around her, such as a shuriken, kunai, katana, and smoke bomb and had the name 'Laminae Umbra' written on it.
Mana's had her in a gold trimmed, black trench coat holding a large caliber revolver with an under-mounted barrel in her right hand. That had an etching of a wolf on the side of the barrel it had the name 'Brachium Iudicium' written on the front. Mana seemed to look at the card as though remembering something though a little conflicted.
Chizuru's had her in a school wear too but her hands were in her hair holding two hairclips that were orange and were shaped like a flower with six petals. There seemed to be an aura around her picture on the card which featured the name 'Flores Protegens'
And lastly there was Chao, who's card had her in a red Chinese dress that had an image of a wolf around the bottom that went around the waist. In her hands were a pair of golden tonfa that had fire blazing around the two. It was named 'Animo Flagrante'.
"Eh…so these are the wonderful prizes" said Yuuna looking at the card "AHH, show me, show me" said the twins in unison. "It has their pictures on them on them. Ah, that's amazing I want one too" said Makie looking at Nodoka's card.
"Why did all the girls who kissed Naruto get one though?" asked Madoka "Probaly since he was difficult to catch all four were the ones who tied him up" answered Misa.
"That's so cool! Let me hold it, Nodoka!" said Konoka "Here you go," Nodoka said as she handed the card over to Konoka who started to cry at missing out.
'First Asuna and now Nodoka and the others! Who would get a card next, Se-chan?' Konoka thought jealously before realization hit her. "So you do get a card when you kiss Negi-kun! I knew it! I should have participated too!"
"Konoka-san," Yue berated sternly. 'She's completely obsessed with collectables…' With a sigh of defeat and crying large pitiful tears, Konoka said, "You're right, Yue. Nodoka was the one who confessed to Negi-kun, so I'll just have to bear with it…"
"No, that's…It's not that kind of confession," Nodoka denied as she blushed red once more. Shizuna clapped her hands together getting the students attention. "Okay, okay everyone. The third day of our trip is free activity day. Go back to your room and get ready, okay?"
"Okay!" All of the students said before going back to normal conversation. "You did very well, Miyazaki Nodoka-san! From today onwards, I officially acknowledge you as my rival in love," Ayaka declared seriously "I won't lose next time Honya-chan" said Makie pointing to herself.
"N…No…I…um…" Nodoka stuttered nervously as she slowly backed away from the group as she held her card protectively. Once she managed to turn the corner she couldn't contain her gleeful giggle anymore. 'Hehehehe….I'm going to take good care of my card! It's proof of my first k-k-k-kiss with Negi-sensei! I'm so happy!'
Nodoka continued to giggle until she turned another corner and saw Asuna, Setsuna, Negi, Naruto, Kaede, Mana, Chamo and Kazumi all seated together. "Huh?"
"Chamo" Naruto started to say "Next time you want to pull a stunt like this think of the consequences for the girls involved. I was lucky that Zazie-chan was so understanding about all this, I hope you losing all the money is a good lesson for you" he said handing Kazumi's share to her.
"Even though you took part I do have more partners now as well as artifacts to help protect you all so I'm giving you half the money earned by the cards Kazumi-chan" she hugged him and planted a kiss on the cheek not activating a pactio since Naruto forced Chamo to deactivate it.
"Well at least you can work out what to do with yours but what are we going to do about these Negi" said Asuna holding up the mistake cards and the proper card. "How do you intend to take responsibility for making all these cards?"
"Eh? ME?" Negi shouted in surprise. "Aw...C'mon Ane-san!" Chamo pleaded. "No she's right Nodoka and Chizuru is just a normal school girl while the rest of us have a little knowledge in the field myself included" said Mana.
"That and with all of these flying around it may be harder to conceal Naruto-kun and your identities as mages de-gozaru…" said Kaede. But, Asuna-san's just a normal girl too…" Negi pointed out and Naruto chuckled at that while Asuna glared toward him.
"How can you say that after all that's happened, Negi?" Asuna asked as she poked his head. "I…I guess you're right. We should keep all of this a secret from Nodoka-san," Negi agreed even though he still believed that Asuna shouldn't be involved.
"What a waste…That card looked pretty strong too," Chamo said causing Asuna to glare at him menacingly. Chamo pulled out a copy of her card. "Well, never mind. I'll give you a copy card too, Ane-san."
"Eh? I don't want this! Anyway, all you can do with it is communicate, right?" Asuna asked thinking that she can just use a cell phone instead. "Actually Asuna-chan with the cad you can use the artifact with Negi being around" Naruto told her as he held up his cards.
'Naruto has cards too and so does Kagurazaka-san…it's not just us then…' Nodoka thought perplexedas she hid behind the wall until something else caught her attention. 'Is that ermine talking?'
Chamo held his paw up as if showing the card off. "To bring it out, hold it like this and say 'Adeat'" he informed her. "Eh? But that's so…" Asuna muttered feeling stupid, but she decided to do it anyway. "Adeat"
A magical wind came forth that gave Naruto a eyeful due to it showing Asuna, Mana and Kaede's panties and the fan "Enis Exorcizans" appeared in Asuna's hands. "Wah! It really appeared!" Asuna yelped in shock. "Awesome! It's like magic!"
"U…Use it properly, okay?" Chamo asked fearful that she would use it on him as punishment. "To get rid of it, say 'Abeat!'" Asuna started to swing it around playfully and excitedly. "Uwah! This is so cool! It's almost like I'm a Mage too!"
Nodoka decided she better get away before they discovered her eavesdropping on them, so she walked away contemplating what she managed to hear. 'I couldn't really hear what they were saying, but I wonder what all that was about?'
She looked at her card as she tried to remember what the ermine ('was it really talking?') had said to call out. Then she snapped her fingers in remembrance and stuttered, "A-Adeat!"
Nodoka's card began to glow before it magically transformed into a book that said "Diarium Ejus" on the cover and spine. 'Waah…The card turned into a book. How mysterious…' Nodoka thought as she examined the book. 'It's beautiful…And it's shining!'
However, when Nodoka opened the book she found one problem with the book: it was blank! 'It's totally blank…There's nothing written in here. Huh…?' Nodoka stopped mid thought as the book somehow began to fill itself in. 'Huh? Some picture and words are appearing…Twenty-fourth of April, Thursday…A picture diary…?'
Nodoka blushed beat red as she saw the picture of her kissing Negi with happy flowers and twinkles around them. The book read, '24th of April, Thursday. I kissed my beloved Negi-sensei yesterday. Kya! It was only by accident. One day I would like to do it in a more romantic way.'
It then changed into an image of Naruto holding his pactio cards '24th of April, Thursday. Nodoka if you can read this be careful with this book and don't reveal what it can do. It could cause trouble for me and Negi.'
'Naruto…how did you do…that' wondered Nodoka staring at his image as he held up his partners cards and his own personal artifacts which look like…
XChapter endX
Whew kissing game down and four pactios for Naruto. Now before people rage at me I really wanted to get Naruto some partners for the up and coming battle and to give a bit more story to Chao before the world festival arc. Mana's issue with her own pactio will be delved into in later chapters so don't worry.
