The Date
I was sleeping peacefully on my bed. That was until I heard someone speaking to me. "Wolf, I going to summon you to the cabin." Huh? Evangeline, it's to early! By the time I knew it I was laying on the couch in her cabin. There I saw Satomi with Chachamaru going down to the lab. Evangeline was sitting in a single chair sipping some tea. She was wearing her black Lolita dress with a big bow on her head.
"Um, good morning Master. Is there something you wanted me to do?" I've got a feeling that it has to do with testing on me. Evangeline looked at me for a bit, then she turned a dark shade of red.
"I going to punish you for what happened yesterday…..at your dorm." She didn't look at me when she finished her sentence. Yesterday? That's right, Evangeline waited for me to wake up. Why would she punish me though? Then an image appeared in my head. I was laying in bed with Evangeline and Asuna using my arms as pillows. I felt like I popped again, crap. "Extend your neck." I did as she ordered me.
I guess I deserve this. I waited until I felt her fangs go in. She was taking a great amount of blood. I'm surprised I haven't died from blood lose. When she released from my neck she started to lick the remaining blood off. "Evangeline! I didn't know it was that bad of a thing!" I felt chills go down my spine.
"You had me and that bimbo in your arms practically the whole night. Who knows what kind of things could have happened to us, but Setsuna came back to the room and woke us up. She took a picture I think before we woke up, something for payback?" I'm guessing she found out about the picture. Still why did she think I did something? I'm not a pervert. Wait, if that's what Evangeline thought happened then Asuna probably thought…..even worse.
"I promise I didn't do anything ecchi to both of you. I'm not that kind of person." Even though stuff like that happens all the time! Most of the time they're all accidents! "What did Asuna do?" Evangeline placed her index finger on her chin.
"She turned into a very dark shade of red, screamed at me for even putting you in testing, threatened Setsuna not to show anyone that photo, and she called you a big idiot and that you'd better make it up to her on your date today. After that she went back to her room." That does sound like Asuna.
"That's what I plan on doing,, but first I need to make a phone call." I took out my phone and searched for Konoka's number.
"Sammy! Good morning!" Cheerful as always.
"Good morning Ojou-chan. I need a favor of you."
"Sure, but I'll only help you if you stop calling me that."
"Yes, Konoka-chan."
"Alright then, what is it you need?"
"I need you to help me pick out clothes for my date with Asuna later today." I heard a squeal for the other side of the phone. "I'll take that as a yes. I'll meet you at my room, wait there with Setsu."
"Hai!" I hung up the phone and went to the door. I heard Evangeline mumble something. "What was that?"
"I want you to take me on a date too…." I felt a blush appear on my cheeks. Did I hear her right? I turned to see Evangeline embarrassed.
"Yes, master." A smile formed on her face. I bowed and left the cabin. When I made it to my dorm room I heard someone talking from the inside. I opened the door to see Konoka look through my part of the closet. "K-Konoka-chan?" She stuck her head out of the closet with a big smile.
"Hey, just trying to find you some clothes." I looked around the room to see no Setsuna.
"Where's Setsu?" She got a set of clothes from my closet and laid them on the bed.
"Asuna wanted to talk to her for some reason, so she left."
"I see. Well, did you find clothes?" Konoka nodded and pulled me towards the clothes. Are these even mine?
"I picked a black dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a red tie, dark brown cargo shorts, black converse, and of course your star necklace." She handed me the clothes and pushed me into the bathroom. I put on the pair of clothes. I out my hair into a braid, straightened my bangs and parted them to the left. When I came out Konoka clapped her hands.
"You look so handsome!" She walked towards me and placed her hands on my neck. Huh? She was just straightening my tie. Sometimes I over react I guess. She bowed her head. "Sammy," asked Konoka, "You love Asuna right?"
I shocked from the from the sudden question. I couldn't speak for a few seconds. "Um…. I don't know." Such a straight up question. "Konoka-chan, why are you asking me this?" She held my hands in hers.
"I just want to know you'll be able to take responsibly if anything happens." I felt like my blush darkened. R-responsibly?
"Konoka-chan, we haven't even gone on our first date yet and you're already telling me this." She just giggled a little bit. She released our hands.
"You still haven't answered me." She's not going to let it go, is she?
"I-I guess I do…" I looked away from Konoka to make this a little less embarrassing.
"Unless you're going after Eva-san?" She placed her index finger to her chin, why is she so cute?
"K-K-Konoka-chan! Don't say things like that!" She laughed from my reaction, a lot of people are doing that to me now. "Well, do you have any ideas where I can take her for the date?" Konoka seemed happy when I asked her that.
"Let's see….how about you take Asuna to play at the arcade, somewhere to eat, and to end it you can take her to the World Tree to see that sunset?" That sounds way to planed out. Don't tell me.
"That's sort of how you imaged you're date with Setsu, huh?" Konoka turned as red as a tomato. Thought so. She bonked me across the head. I fell to the ground, I hit it face first. I looked up to see Konoka with her hands cheeks .
"Well…maybe I did think of that. Ah~, I would love to go on a date like that with Secchan!" I got up and straightened my clothes. Such pure love. Well, it's nice to know that Konoka doesn't have any kind of feeling for me than just a friend.
"I'll be going Konoka-chan. I have to meet Asuna by the gate." Konoka snapped out it and opened the door for me. Before I could step out Konoka put her hands on each side on my cheeks. When I turned around I'll I saw was Konoka come closer to me. She placed a kiss on my forehead. When she let me go she just gave me a big smile.
"Sammy," I stood up straighter, "Promise me that we can go out together too." I was in so much shock for what just happened that I couldn't even speak, but I was able to nod my head. "Alright, good luck with Asuna." She closed the door and went back into her room.
I spoke to soon I guess. I shook my to snap out of it. I ran decided to run to the gate so I wouldn't be late. When I got there I saw Asuna. Wow. She wore a white sundress with red roses on the left corner side, brown boots, white jacket, white purse, and her hair was loose. She does look a lot like my mother. I stopped right next to her.
"You made it on time." Asuna looked so much different from how she normally is.
"Yeah, by the way Asuna, you look beautiful." She turned many shades of red. I stuck out my hand and grabbed hers. Asuna seemed surprised from my sudden boldness, so did I. "Shall we?" Asuna nodded, so we walked out of the campus. I took her to the arcade like Konoka said. Asuna seemed happy to be there too.
"Ah, let's go play that game." Asuna was pointing to a game that looked like a karaoke machine. Asuna grabbed my arm and made puppy dog eyes. "Please!" I can't resist the eyes!
"Okay." As soon as I answered she pulled me towards the machine. I put in one dollar while Asuna picked the song. She seems really happy.
"Alright, I found my song!" I looked at the screen to see which one she picked. It said that the name of the song was 'A-LY-YA!'. That sounds like a lot of fun. The song started and Asuna began to sing. On the screen her words were red, mine were blue. When we had to sing together they turned purple. As we went through song people started to gather around the karaoke machine. Some started to clap while others began to cheer. Huh? When we got to the end everyone around us gave a big applause. Asuna just stood there and waved, I on the other hand scratched the back of my head.
"Sam," Asuna grab my hand, "Looks like we make a good time. Let's go get something to eat." I simply nodded to her suggestion. We walked out the arcade while getting praised by everyone that saw us sing.
"Um, Asuna you're actually a great singer! I never knew you had such a beautiful voice." She popped after my compliment. She smacked by back and placed her hands on her cheeks.
"R-really, thanks for saying so." My back, I forgot she was strong. I saw an ice cream vender along the street. I told Asuna to for me by the bench near by. I ran over to the vender, crap. I forgot to ask she wanted! It's okay, I'll just have to guess.
I walked back to the bench where Asuna was waiting for me. I handed her a strawberry ice cream while mine was vanilla. Her eyes widened for some reason, maybe she hates that flavor? She then smiled at me.
"How did you know this was my favorite?" I was surprised when she told me that. I took the seat right next to her.
"I just knew you'd like it, that's all." I began to eat my ice cream as if I actually did know what I was doing. Asuna giggled a little to her self. Why is she giggling?
"Sam, you have ice cream on your cheek." She got a napkin and rubbed the ice cream off my face. I was pretty sure I was blushing like crazy. When she was done she went back to eating her ice cream. What just happened? A few minutes passed and we finished our ice cream. It was already sunset, I guess I couldn't really go with all of Konoka's plan. As we walked to the academy, I felt someone following us. I turned my head just to see a girl with long red hair in two side pony tails, were the weirdest artier with a cape and a pointy hat that looked like a witches hat. Asuna turned to me.
"Did you feel her too?" I nodded, I stopped and took out my pactio card.
"Adeat!" Armor appeared on my right side, I also had my ears and tail out. I turned up right behind the girl. I grabbed her by the cape and pulled her up. She seemed like around twelve years old.
"Hey, what are you doing you idiot!" She swung her arms back and froth while kicking her legs. Asuna got a closer look at her face. Asuna seemed surprised to see who she was.
"Anya? Is that you?" The little girl stopped and looked at Asuna for a minute.
"Asuna-san, I knew I recognized you!" I let her go gently to the ground. She turned around to face me, is something wrong with this girl?
"I'm sorry Anya-san, but you were just following us as if you were going to attack us." Anya laughed a bit at me. Isn't she rude…
"Don't worry about it. I'm actually on my way to meet with Negi at the main gate, so is it okay if I walk with you guys."
"Abeat. Of course you can." To think I was actually going to be able to use my card, sigh. We made it all the back to the gate where we saw Negi waiting. He waved at us.
"Anya! I see you caught up with Asuna and Sammy-ku-ah-ah-achoo!" A big gust of wind all of a sudden showed up. Anya was blown back and bumped into me. I felt something yet again on my lips, that's when I realized I was being kissed by Anya. NANI! Anya then realized what she was doing after thirty seconds passed. She got up off me and all of a sudden I saw her hand glow. Not good.
"Anya fire punch!" She hit me square in the face. I was sent flying up into the sky. I'm guessing she's a mage too. I started to fall back down; I hit the ground head first. I'm surprised I haven't gotten a concusion after all these blows I've gotten to the head. Everything turned black after that. All I could hear before I completely passed out was Anya and Asuna having an argument, while Negi kept apologizing.
At least the date turned out well. Not what I expected to happen, but I got to spend time with Asuna. I just hope I don't have to hear all of Setsuna's jokes when I wake up. I'll have to tell Konoka thank you for helping me with everything. I met Anya, Negi's childhood friend, who happens to have a short temper. It's not like I meant to kiss her! She fell on me! Things like this always have to happen to me, don't they?
