Author's Notes
I obviously don't own Ranma ½, Love Hina, Negima, Ai Yori Aoshi, or I am Legend. Turns out I'm just not that good a writer (yet). Still, if I did I wouldn't be posting fanfiction, at least not here… I'd probably have to get my own website and all.
Anyways, Thanks to everyone who's read and reviewed, those handful of you out there (yeah, I know you've read the fic, but why haven't you reviewed it?).

"Aaagh!"
The tiny redhead groaned as the bright sunlight hit her face. Unwilling turn her face away from the giant star in the sky she barely managed to put her arm over her eyes, sheltering them from the bright light. A slight irritation over her lips and chin registered in the back of her still groggy head.
Hearing her companion stirring awake the petit girl tried to force herself up. Ten thousand tiny but painful mallets hammered her skull in protest. Only her bladder's urgent desire to relieve itself prompted the girl to crawl to her feet. Stumbling, somehow the unsteady girl managed to make it to the bushes before pulling her pants down.
Standing up again a wave of nausea overwhelmed her, forcing her to vomit out what little she managed to consume the night before. Stomach empty, Ranma pulled her pants up before walking over to the campsite.
"Argh!" her companion groaned. "I feel I was learning the Bakusai Tenketsu again but with my head."
"Drink," Ranma instructed, "pops, old man Tendo, and Happosai used to always say that the best way to get over a hangover is to drink it under."
Pulling out several cans the redhead rolled one over to her still prone companion.

A lone figure stood atop the ruined remains of Tokyo tower, gazing down at the once proud city that had been reduced to rubble. "Tokyo, no, Japan is nothing like when we left it," the raven haired girl stated as she held a golden urn.
"No, it's not," a second voice, this one supposedly belonging to a black cat with large ears.
"Regardless of where we looked we still couldn't find him," the slim girl stated. "But as I promised I have returned to Japan."
Opening the urn the girl tipped it over, scattering the remains of her adoptive grandmother into the air.
"So, how do we find Keitaro?" the cat asked as the last of ashes disappeared into the air.
"We don't," the girl replied. "I have faith that he'll return home. We have to make sure that there is a home for him to return to."
*****
Tokyo was in shambles, well, this district of Tokyo was at least. Decimated walls, broken glass, and twisted steel were all that remained of many fallen buildings; others were simply steel I-beams surrounded by piles of rubble. Other than the trees and the occasional telephone pole nothing stood over two stories tall for nearly two kilometers.
Stabbing a crushed and emptied beer can with her sword the young master martial artist touched the still cool aluminum surface.
"Bakusai Tenketsu!"
A loud explosion filled the air. Turning her head the swordswoman sheathed her blade before setting off towards the source of the sound. Oddly enough there was a trail of empty and crushed beer cans littering the ground, almost as though whoever it was had left the cans in their wake.
"Bakusai Tenketsu!"
In the distance a building began to sway before slowly toppling onto its neighbor.
"Shi Shi Hokodan!"
An pale green light filled the already light sky, casting odd shadows before it rocketed into the air, only to fall back down. The resulting cloud of dust from the toppled buildings and the green ball of energy forced Tsuruko to cover her eyes as she came to a sudden stop.
"Dude!" another voice shouted, filling the air with a distinctly feminine voice. "You nearly took out that tree!"
Opening her eyes the swordswoman shook and brushed off some of the concrete dust.
"Hey, it wasn't supposed to fall that way!" a distinctly male voice shouted back.
Irritated by the destruction that the individuals were apparently wrecking for no real reason, the swordswoman broke into a steady run.
The sound of metal being snapped and of high pressure water hitting the pavement filled the silent void as the two (possibly more) individuals turned their attention back to whatever it was they were doing.
Popping the head of a fire hydrant off with a ki-enforced stop sign, Ranma let the water fill the man-made gorge around their man-made islands.
"You think that's enough?" Ryoga asked as he wiped off the concrete dust that caked his face and neck.
The redheaded girl shrugged. "I hope so; I'd hate to have to dig a trench all the way out to Tokyo Bay just to get enough water to fill these gorges. We'll probably have to go down the line and pop off more fire hydrants just to fill up all the trenches."
The bandana wearing boy nodded.
Surveying the landscaping that they'd managed to do over the course of the day the pair nodded in satisfaction.
"Once we're done we can release the animals in the zoo," the redhead stated. "That should give them enough time today to explore and find a new home for themselves."
Sitting himself down on a large stone slab, the taller of the two sighed. "Man, I'm beat."
"It would have gone faster if you'd just teach me the Bakusai Tenketsu," the redhead shouted drunkenly. Pulling several cans out of stuff space she tossed one to her companion.

A deep breath failed to restore the boy's calm regardless of how many times the young mage tried it. Sensing the disruption of magical and natural energies beyond the World Tree's barrier, the powerful but inexperienced mage could not calm his spirit.
"You feel it to, don't you," the blond vampire stated rather then asked. "Have you found out anything Chachamaru?"
The lean gynoid shook her head, "Negative master; there are no satellites in the vicinity, but I am trying to get some into place. It will take at least two more hours to get one into position."
The tiny day walking vampire nodded. Even with her powers limited by the curse the blond vampire could feel the flow of energy that affected not only herself and those protected by the barrier. "As much as I want to send out your sisters to investigate, we cannot spare any of them given the increasing number of Darkseekers that roam the night."
Chuckling evilly, the vampire couldn't help but see the irony of the situation. As a true, magical vampire, Eva couldn't help but note both the similarities and differences between real vampires and the mutated humans turned Darkseekers. Both creatures craved the warm blood of their victims, their bites even able to turn normal humans (even magical ones) into creatures that feared the light of day. But real vampires maintained their intelligence and souls, something that the Darkseekers appeared to be lacking.
Shaking of her thoughts Eva focused her attention on her newest pupil and homeroom teacher, "How many of the girls have you made a pactio with?"
The young mage gulped, "Um, well, there's Yue, Asuna, Haruna, Konoka, and Setsuna."
"That's less then a fifth of the class," the tiny ermine said as he perched himself onto Negi's shoulder.
"Chamo," Negi said, startled by his familiar's sudden appearance, "have you heard anything from Wales?"
The ermine shook his head, "Nothing."
"We haven't heard from them since just after the headmaster altered your records so that you didn't have to return to England," Chachamaru stated.
"We just lost communications with Kyoto last night as well," Setsuna volunteered.
"It appears that things have gotten worse faster then we expected," Eva stated. "I doubt that even the World Tree can protect us much longer."

The steel structure beneath her trembled as another building crumbled in the distance. Awed by the city wide destruction Kanako Urashima simply watched as the skyline that was once filled with skyscrapers slowly vanished as the many buildings fell to some mysterious force. Curious, the slender youth dashed towards the elevator.
*****
Ryoga couldn't help but think that something was off. True, he was drunk off his ass (still) and so was Ranma (still in her female form) so things didn't make as much sense as usual. Maybe he'd taken one too many hits the other night, but it was probably just the beer. Yeah, it definitely had to be the beer. Not only was it throwing off his balance, but it was throwing off his senses as well. Ranma was in his, er, her girl form; there was no way she'd grow a beard.
Taking a step forward (actually three lumbering hops to his right) the bandana wearing boy crashed through a wall. The subsequent step (four hops to the left) brought him back through the same wall, only a few paces ahead of the other hole.
"Yeah," Ranma shouted, "that should be the last building for today. We should probably start getting ready for tonight."
"It'd be easier if you helped out," the bandana wearing boy said as he crashed through the wall once again.
"Fine!" the redhead shouted as she sprang to her feet. Even though she lacked her rival's durability and power the powerful martial artist knew she'd be able to take the building down. Grabbing a steel beam (actually a smashed light pole) Ranma swung (spinning several times) and connected with the building (actually the one across the street from the one Ryoga had crashed through). The thunderous impact shattered the wall and sent a deafening sound wave that shattered windows for kilometers around.
"Ha!" the fanged boy shouted. "You didn't even hit the right building!"
Ryoga's eyes bulged as he watched the building slowly sway and then shift forward as it leaned towards the building he was standing in front of. The resulting cloud of dust and debris left both Ranma and Ryoga covered in cement dust.
"I think I need a bath," Ranma declared as she shook the grey dirt off of her face. Stripping off her top and her pants Ranma looked around.
"Damn you Ranma!" Ryoga shouted from beneath the pile of debris that buried him. "Bakusai Tenketsu!"
The pile of debris grew shorter before a blast of water came up from between the remains of the building.
"Damn, I forgot to heat up some water for a bath," the redhead mumbled.

"There's nothing else we can do," the ancient headmaster said as he reviewed their options. "We must seal off the campus completely."
The scruffy blond stood up as he cleared his throat. "If we do that then there's no way that we can interact with the rest of the world."
"For now perhaps," Kataragi countered. "But when the situation is more stable we can always return."
"Return?" Negi asked, unsure of what the goateed man was referring to.
"Yes, return," Konoemon repeated. "The first step will be to seal the campus to keep everyone else outside. The second step will be to create a temporary portal to Kyoto so that we can use the Gateport to access the Magical World."
"But what if…" Negi protested only to fumble with what he wanted to say.
"If anyone does not wish to go to the Magical world then they will have to leave the campus tonight," the ancient mage stated. "Once erected, the barrier will remain for three days. That should give us enough time link the campus to Kyoto."

The howling winds and hard rains continued to pound the small cabin, forcing the two occupants to stay inside for another day.
"We should probably head out once the weather clears," Keitaro said as he wrung out his wet clothes then hung them before the wood pellet stove.
"Do we have enough supplies?" the normally bubbly blond asked.
"With everything that we've already packed into the hold of the sailboat we should easily make it up the coast to the next city," Keitaro explained. "We can check for supplies once we get there."
"I'm going to miss this place," Tina said as she rolled her extra panties up.
Averting his eyes, Keitaro focused on his own clothes.
"Keitaro?"
"Yeah?" he replied, not turning around to face her.
The feel of her firm breasts pressed against his back caused him to drop the shirt he'd been wringing out.
"I, I don't want to be alone anymore," she whispered, her hot breath caressing his ears and neck. "Am I not attractive to you?"
Grabbing her hand he pressed it to his chest. "No," he replied as he turned around to face her. The sight of Tina's bare breasts in the warm light of the fire brought a light blush to his face.
Gently leaning forward the blond placed her warm, hungry lips on Keitaro's.
For a moment Keitaro trembled as he felt her passion spread through his entire body before he pulled back.
"There's no guarantee that we'll both make it back to Japan," Tina whispered. "Please, let me have this, just once… just…"
Putting his finger to her lips he silenced her.
Taking his finger into her mouth she gently licked it.
A warm feeling passed through his body as he felt her suck on his finger. With his free hand he cupped her breast it so that his thumb could caress her erect nipple. Withdrawing his finger from her mouth he kissed her as he placed his now free hand over her other breast.
Slowly the pair tried to walk back to the bed as they continued to kiss passionately. Unfortunately for the uncoordinated pair they couldn't get past the chair that Keitaro had been hanging his clothes from as first Tina, then Keitaro (with his hands firmly attached to her breasts) fell to the ground.
"Ow," Keitaro exclaimed as he licked his now swelled upper lip.
Tina giggled.
A crooked smile (and a noticeable swelled lip) flashed before her as Keitaro quickly sprang to his feet.
Taking advantage of her position Tina quickly unbuttoned and unzipped his cargo shorts before pulling it and his boxers down around his ankles.
A chill ran through Keitaro's body as he felt Tina's warm hands envelope his growing erection. Gulping he fought hard not to think of the auburn haired girl back in Tokyo. No, I can't think about her, not now when I'm with Tina.
Trembling, he let Tina lead him over to the bed. Placing his hands on her hips he returned the favor as he pulled her short shorts down, revealing her coarse blond hairs. Swallowing hard he pulled his hands away from her glowing body so that he could pull his shirt off.
Now completely naked he sat on the edge of the bed as Tina spread her legs wide.
Lowering herself so that she straddled his lap she licked her lips as Keitaro once again cupped her ample breasts, giving them a playful squeeze. Placing her hands on his shoulders she pulled his face to her fleshy mounds. Running her fingers through his hair she arched her back as he enveloped one of her nipples with his hungry lips and mouth.
Strong hands now gripped her firm ass, massaging the tightly bound muscles before moving onto her thighs. Moaning in pleasure, she felt his hands dance up and down her thighs and buttocks. Overwhelmed by desire, she pushed him down on the bed. Lifting herself up just slightly, she ground her moist womanhood against his shaft. Tina didn't care that Keitaro was digging his nails into her fleshy breasts; all she cared about was the rigid muscle that teased her moist slit.
Recalling something from the porno he'd seen with his two cram school buddies, he slapped her firm ass. Grabbing hold of her he somehow managed to flip them over without falling out of the tiny bed. Now on top, he spread her legs wide as the head of his penis rubbed up against her wet lips.
Thrusting his hips he blinked as he realized that he'd failed to penetrate her. Reaching down, he placed his head against her wetness once again. Slowly, he penetrated her.
A light moan of pleasure escaped Tina's lips as she accepted his offering. Wrapping her legs around his she thrust her hips up, forcing more of him into her. Gently the pair rocked back in forth in their bed, slowly working him deeper into her until he was completely inside of her.
Down on his elbows and knees, he began to slide in and out of her. Soon she was matching his thrusts. The sounds of their sweat soaked bodies colliding were drowned out by their gasps for breath as they moaned and panted.
Twenty plus years of pent-up energy finally exploded inside of both of them.
Keitaro didn't know how long they lay there with him on top of her. Both of them breathing hard and covered in sweat. All he knew was that once they'd regained their breath both of them wanted more.

A/N
Yes, the majority of the Negima cast is going away. They served their purpose. Still, don't expect all the cast to disappear. There are a lot of surprises ahead for everyone.
Oh, yeah, Keitaro finally gave. But he still loves Naru. That's just messy. No, I'm not going to kill Tina. And you can quote me on that.
