Previously on Love Sara…
"Sa-Chan… Ne-Kun I going to miss you" a very cute girl with pink hair crying
"We will miss you too Mao-chan" said Mai, the young girl who baby sits these kids
"Uaaah Mao-chan is leaving!" said the little cute two year old boy with red hair just a little older than Mao.
"Sniff… I promise we will meet again Mao-chan" I said a bit teary
"Really Sa-chan is that a promise?" asks Mao-chan
"Promise" says I
"Me too I promise we will meet again" says Ne-kun
Mao takes out a cute wand with a star tip.
"Ne-kun here… Keep this I'll be back for it" Mao hands over a wand
"Eh? Mao-chan I gave you this as a present" said Ne-kun
"I want to give you something to remember me by Ne-kun" said Mao-chan then kisses his cheek.
"Remember me Ne-kun!" said Mao-chan hugging him
"Mao time to go!" said her Grandfather
"Goodbye Mao-chan" I said crying hugging Mao
"I'll really miss you" said I crying
"I'm sure we will all meet each other again in the future " said Mai crying also
Her family taking her. The car drives off with Mao.
"Bye Ne-kun, Sa-chan, Mai-chan" says Mao-chan at a distance
Love Sara
Chapter 10: Left Behind
"Mao-Chan!" Sara shouts waking up from her dream.
"Oh Sara your awake!" says Cindy hugging her.
"Eh? Where?" says Sara unfamiliar with the room she is in. On a bed she is wearing a hospital gown. A white very clean private hospital ward.
"You worried me there" said Chisame, Sara's roommate. With a relieved expression.
"Ara Ara…You must have been stressed lately Sara-chan. It used to happen a lot to me too" said a very familiar voice who rather also hugged her.
A very beautiful lady who is rather endowned.
"Here eat some water melon" offering a slice of fruit to Sara
"Mu…Mutsumi!" says Sara surprisingly
"When I received the call that you fainted so I came here Sara-chan." says Mutsumi
"If you're here, where are the others?" asks Sara, looking for the rest of the girls of Hinata and most especially Keitaro.
"Oh my… I was so panicked you collapsed I forgot to tell them" says Mutsumi strangely
"Well tell them I'm ok! I don't want them worrying too much about me. Say when will Keitaro be back I haven't received a letter from him in days." said Sara
"Ummm… Maybe the letters sent to him got eaten by a goat or he has tooth ache so he can't write a letter now." said Mutsumi rather nervously.
"Why isn't he back yet? Don't tell me he got sidetracked digging up some artifacts" as Sara.
Suddenly the door opens. Two persons come in. A ten year old boy with spectacles and a middle school girl comes in. Negi Springfield and Kagurazaka Asuna.
"Sara, are you alright? I heard you fainted and they took here in the hospital." says Negi, Quite concerned.
"How is she?" asks Asuna, who with her few encounters with Sara had an impression that she is a rather fragile girl.
"She is fine now but the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her" says Cindy
"Which is strange though one minute she is quite energetically holding off Haruna then she blacks out" says Chisame
"If there is anything I can help with…" says Negi
"Just no hugs and don't crawl into my bed I still remember when you did that" says Sara oddly in a mixture of a death glare and a blush.
"I'm sorry for that…" Negi blushes
"Hmm… Are you Negi-kun?" asks Mutsumi
"Yes I'm Negi Springfield" says Negi
"I'm Asuna Kagurazaka" says Asuna
"I'm Mutsumi Otohime nice to meet you both." says Mutsumi smiling
"So you're the Negi-kun that helped tutor Kanako pass her Tokyo U entrance exam. Also you are a sensei here at this campus you must be very smart. You are as cute as you're Kanako onee-san says you are" says Mutsumi
"Onee-san? Who is Kanako?" asks Asuna since she only knows Negi only has one sister.
"She's my…" Negi was about to say when Sara interrupted.
"You what! You tutored Kanako?" Sara looks on Negi, She did not expect that Negi would be at that level of teaching prowess.
"Y…Yes I did. You see Kanako is my cousin. She wanted to go to Tokyo U" say Negi answering both Asuna and Sara.
"Strange if you are qualified for College level teaching why are you teaching at a middle school?" says Chisame , who is still weirded out that their English class and Homeroom teacher is still a child.
"Well…" Negi at a loss of words. He couldn't exactly tell Chisame that his Magic School diploma assigned him to be a teacher at Mahora All Girls Middle School.
"I'm sure Negi-sensei is qualified for that also, but remember he still lacks some experience. Baby steps as it were!" says Cindy smiling
"Auuu… I'm not a baby Cynthia-sensei!" says Negi pouting
"Actually you are. Negi-bouzu" smirks Asuna
"Am not!" says Negi
"Are too!" replies Asuna
"Quit it you two this is a hospital!" says Chisame
"Sorry…" says Negi and Asuna contritely
"Sara when you woke up you said Mao-chan who is that?" asks Cindy
"Eh? I did? I dunno can't remember" says Sara, she did shout that when she woke up.
"Negi-sensei you will have to move along it's already 7:30" says Cindy
"Yeah… But since I have still some time I think I'll have some coffee. I had a late night sleep. Asuna you want to come along?" asks Negi
"Sure if it is for free…" says Asuna
"Bye Sara! Get well…" says Negi
"Hmph" replies Sara
Negi and Asuna goes out to the hospital corridor when…
"Negi-kun I have something important to give you." says Mutsumi
"What is it Mutsumi-san?" asks Negi
"This a letter from Kanako she told me to give it to you." says Mutsumi
"Oh thank you Mutsumi-san" says Negi
With a uncertain look Mutsumi tells Negi the truth
"Negi please look out for Sara-chan. If she hears about Keitaro she might run out of the country again." says
"Huh? What do you mean did something happen to Keitaro-niisan? Sara leaving the country again?" Negi perplexed
"What is this about?" asks Asuna
"You see Sara-chan really likes Keitaro. She has done it before when she was nine years old with Shinobu and Su. We are just afraid she will try to do so again this time… alone."
"What happened?" asks Negi quite concerned for a cousin he hasn't met who Kanako has a lot of respect for
"You see Keitaro was invited to a pleasure cruise with an acquaintance of his. Ken Akamatsu sensei. Unfortunately there was a hurricane at Pararaketsu . Nyamo, Ramba and Amalla Su also Ken sensei were found by the coast guard. But Keitaro is still missing. The girls at Hinata-sou went off to search for Keitaro." says Mutsumi somberly
"Keitaro…is missing!" says Negi
"Yes please do not tell Sara-chan especially now that she is sickly. I had to tell you this since you are also Keitaro's family. But to Sara-chan he is much more. She may try something foolish so please watch out for her." says Mutsumi
"Yes I will do not worry" says Negi looking curiously at letter envelop given to him.
"I must get back to Sara–chan" says Mutsumi
Negi nods
"What's the relationship between Sara and this guy?" asks Asuna curiously
From out of nowhere an ermine is at her shoulder
"Fu Fu Fu pretty much like the relationship you have with Takamichi" says Kamo in an old man mode
"Why you…Where did you come from? No animals are allowed here!" Asuna strangling Kamo.
"Asuna!" says Negi
"Fine lets get some coffee" says Asuna carrying in one hand Kamo.
Much later…
"Alright Negi-kun!" Konoka holding Negi in a corner
"K…Konoka-san…W…We better stop after all… I- I-I'm not ready for a kiss…" says Negi nevously
"No way it's not fair Asuna keeps you all to her self" Konoka about to kiss Negi
"Eh?" Negi quite helpless is kissed by Konoka
"Are you there Konoka?" asks Asuna than she finds Konoka kissing Negi on the cheek
Alright! Now our chance! Pactio Kamo forms a Contract circle around Negi and Konoka
"Just a minute what are you two doi…wah" Asuna seeing everything
"It's like magic. It's a card of me yaaaan" Konoka quite amazed
"Why is the drawing so bad! It's totally from Asuna's card" Konoka cries at the comedic version of herself
"It looks like it needs to be a proper kiss after all" Negi looking at the card
"Really!" Konoka
Then the card goes out in a puff.
"Ah it disappeared…" says Negi
Konoka cries some more
"Let's try one more time. Negi-kun" Konoka about to force herself again on the ten year old.
"Hey! Hey! Calm down Konoka!" Asuna holding her off from Negi.
Menwhile back at the hospital Sara once more losses consciousness
What again… Sara falls asleep
"Sara I'm leaving for a bit, be a good girl for Grandma Hina." says her mother
"Mama I want to go with you! I want to find Papa too!" says Sara holding her mother
"Sorry honey it's just too much for a baby like you. We have to find Seta we can't bring you along." says mother
"Not to mention that guy needs a serious beating!" says Haruka holstering her two Dessert Eagle Magnums.
"Haruka-san it's not his fault he was kidnapped by some secret terrorist organization bent on world conquest." says Sara's mom
"Don't worry Sara-chan I know it's hard for you since you have no playmate and Japanese is not your first language. My own grandson from Wales will be arriving in a few days. You'll just love him." says Grandma Hina.
"I don't wanna a playmate I want Mama and Papa!" says Sara crying
"I don't want to leave you dear but Mama ha to do this…" says her mother
"I'll bring your mother back safely that's a promise Sara" says Haruka
"Lets go" says Sara's Mother
Don't leave me behind…Don't leave me behind
"Don't leave me behind" Sara wakes up
Sara looking at asleep Mutsumi at her side. Realizes a disturbing thing.
Something is wrong…
Author's Comment:
As much I'd like to leave Ken Akamatsu stranded on some deserted island with Keitaro I couldn't. The readers, scanlators and translator (Who has a very cute humor, shooting me for a small thing over honorifics. Think Haruka and Mana in one) will hang me if Akamatsu is anymore on an extended vacation.
If any of you realize this is set on chapter 26. Two chapters before the Kyoto arc.
Guess Negi is gonna have his hands full with Sara left in his care.
Can he stop her if she chooses to leave?
Till next time…
