'What is Secchan doing with her,' Konoka thought angrily. Tears trailed from her eyes as she sat on the stairs leading to the water. 'Is that what she's been doing these past few days? Messing around with Tsukuyomi?!' Konoka bitterly wiped the tears from her eyes. 'Why do I feel like my heart is breaking?' Konoka stared at her hands as she gripped on her skirt. The tears started to fall again.
"Kono-chan…"
The crying girl didn't turn to the owner of the voice. She wiped off the tears that were trailing down her face. "Kono-chan it's not what it looks like," Setsuna said softly. The other girl couldn't help but scoff, much to Setsuna's surprise.
"Kono-chan I--"
"--It's fine Secchan," Konoka interrupted, "If you want to be with Tsukuyomi then…then be with her."
Setsuna stepped back and held onto her towel making sure it didn't fall down. All these past days with Tsukuyomi have been really interesting and even though she was with her, thoughts of Konoka were still in her mind. Even before the whole confrontation she had with Asuna, Konoka was still in her mind. The towel clad girl stood up straight and held onto her towel tighter. Her feelings for the young mage had been building up inside her for the past few months but even more these past few days.
"It's not Tsukuyomi that I want."
"Then what do you want Secchan?!"
Konoka was surprised at her reaction as much as Setsuna was. "You said that to me before my date with Yuuki-kun except you said you didn't want him." Konoka looked down and felt her eyes to water again. "So who do you want," she repeated softly. "Ever since Gramps wanted you to introduce Yuuki-kun to me, I've been so confused." The other girl looked at her curiously. "I've been confused about my feelings, about how I feel for Yuuki-kun and…" she looked back up at the towel clad girl with tears running down her eyes, "how I feel about you."
"Things do seem to have gone crazy in what feels like the past few days," Setsuna softly. Looking away she continued, "Besides, you should forget about me…Kono-chan…you seem to have taken a liking for Miyazaku-kun."
The crying girl let out a sob, causing Setsuna's body to tighten. "Why are you acting like this Secchan? Why are you pushing me away? Why are you pushing me towards Yuuki-kun?" Setsuna continued to look away with all her might. Her heart was aching while her mind told her it was for the best.
"Have I really become an annoyance for you?" Konoka cried.
The other girl gripped on her towel. "I only settled for Tsukuyomi because I wasn't able to get y--"
"--Kono-chan!" a voice yelled out.
The two girls looked to the direction of the voice. Konoka's eyes widened while Setsuna's narrowed. 'How was he able to find this place,' she thought.
"Kono-chan," the voice yelled out once more. "Where are you?"
"Yuuki-kun," she called out. "What are you doing here? How did you find this place?" The sound of footsteps could be heard as they got closer. Setsuna quickly looked to Konoka. "Kono-chan, I only settled for Tsukuyomi because you wanted Miyazaku-kun!" The young healer looked back at her surprised and opened her mouth, but once she saw a familiar boy come into view, she ran towards him.
"Yuuki-kun!" she squealed happily as she hugged him tightly. The brown hair boy grinned as he wrapped his arms protectively around her waist. Setsuna stared at him with angrily, her eyes burning with extreme hate. However, Yuuki's grin grew more as Setsuna's hate grew.
'Her ki is becoming strong,' the voice said to Yuuki.
'Hmph,' he replied, 'wouldn't that be a good thing for you? The more powerful her ki is, the more satisfied you become?' The voice chuckled at his master, 'I wonder how you were able to find that out boy.' Yuuki winked at the towel clad girl, causing her anger to rise. 'My researching skills are brilliant.'
Konoka pulled away from him and looked at Setsuna then slowly pulled away, but Yuuki quickly grabbed her by the waist and turned her over, resulting in them kissing. "Yuuki-kun?" she muffled in the kiss. Setsuna quickly ran towards the two, her rage reaching its peak, and punched Yuuki…or at least that's what she thought.
"Kono-chan!" Yuuki yelled as he tended to the fallen girl. Setsuna stood frozen, mouth agape. 'What…what have I done…?'
Konoka groaned as she Yuuki helped her up. "Ouch…" she whimpered. The right corner of her mouth was in pain. Touching the open wound her mouth twitched lightly. Feeling warm liquid on the fingers of her hand, she looked. There was some blood.
"How could you do that Setsuna-san?!" Yuuki yelled angrily.
Setsuna looked at Konoka, what looked like fear was showing in her eyes. "Have I you anger you so much Secchan?" she whispered as Yuuki walked in front of Konoka. The other girl's throat suddenly felt dry. Her eyes started to irritate. "Kono-chan," she said through a strained voice. She reached out to her but her hand was knocked away by Yuuki.
"Get away from her Setsuna-san. You've already hurt her enough!"
"Senpai!" Tsukuyomi yelled as she ran to the three. "What's going on here?" She looked around and saw an emotionless looking Setsuna, an angry Yuuki, and a somewhat scared Konoka.
"What happened?"
Setsuna looked down as a tear slid down her cheek. "I'm sorry, Kono-chan, I really am," she whispered.
"Secchan…"
"Senpai…"
"I…I hope you and Miyazaku-kun have a…good life together," she whispered barely as she attempted to run away.
"Secchan…" Konoka whispered as she hugged her from behind. "Please…please stop running away from me Setsuna…" The other girl shook her head roughly, "I injured you Kono-chan! My hand is tainted with your blood." Konoka turned her around, making the other girl face her. She smiled at her and placed her hand over the small cut on the side of her mouth. Her palm started to glow and when she removed her hand; the wound was gone.
"Secchan no baka," she said softly. "Did you forget that I have magical powers that are stronger than the Thousand Master?"
Setsuna felt a blush come, something that she hasn't done in awhile. "But I--" Konoka softly placed her finger on her lips. She placed her forehead against Setsuna's and held her close. "I miss being with Secchan, I really do…I miss the way you talked to me, the way you blush when I tease you, the way you stutter and blush…the way you smile at me…" Konoka's heart started to race as her eyes locked with Setsuna's. "I even miss the way you would hug me," she whispered. Konoka started to breathe hard as Setsuna's eyes showed her a deep passion behind them. Setsuna licked her lips as she suddenly found her lips dry. The tears stopped running down Setsuna's eyes as the young healer wiped them away.
"Kono-chan I--" Setsuna said but not wanting to be interrupted like last time, Konoka leaned forward and captured Setsuna's lips. The kiss was warm, soft, and sweet. It wasn't like anything neither of them experienced.
"Senpai!"
"Kono-chan!" Yuuki looked to Tsukuyomi and nodded. The smaller girl frowned as she pulled Setsuna away. As the two girls separated, Setsuna looked at Konoka surprised.
"Tsukuyomi-chan what are yo--" but she was silenced as a fist connected with her stomach.
"Kono-chan!" Setsuna yelled out as Tsukuyomi held her back. Yuuki stood there holding Konoka, smiling. She groaned slightly as she looked at him with wide eyes.
"…Yuuki…kun…?"
He smiled softly at her and kissed her on the cheek, causing Setsuna to squirm in Tsukuyomi's grip. "Sorry Kono-chan but this is for you own good." Konoka looked at Setsuna scared. Reaching out she called out to the other girl.
"Secch…" but she passed out before she can finish.
"Kono-chan!" Setsuna yelled once more. The smiling boy started to walk towards the restrained girl. His smile grew wide as he punched her hard in the stomach. Setsuna let out a gasp at the powerful force his punch exerted and fell to her knees. 'How can his punch be so strong?!' He bent down and pulled her hair back, making her face him.
"It seems that you are becoming quite an obstacle, Setsuna-san."
Her eyes burned with hate. "Why did you do that to Kono-chan," she said angrily.
He laughed, "As Kono-chan said…she has powers that are stronger than even the Thousand Master." He laughed harder as he watched the shocked expression take over her face. He brought his hand to her face and showed that his ring giving a black aura. "You see this, Setsuna-san? Does this look familiar to you?" Her eyes suddenly narrowed at the site of the gold ring.
"What are you doing with that," she hissed.
"Setsuna-san!" Negi yelled as he, Nodoka, Haruna, and Yue ran towards them.
Tsukuyomi turned to see Negi and the others coming towards them. "Yuuki-kun we have to go now. We already have Konoka-ojou-sama; we don't need to start a fight."
He continued to grin at Setsuna, "You're lucky Tsukuyomi likes you Setsuna-san." He punched Setsuna in the stomach once more and stood up. Setsuna groaned as she lowered her head. Looking at Tsukuyomi he nodded, signaling her to release the girl. The smaller girl looked at her senpai affectionately as she walked next to Yuuki. Snapping his fingers, a black hole warped out of nowhere. Picking up Konoka and slinging her on his shoulder.
"Unus Fulgor Concidens Noctem, In Mea Manu Ens Inimicum Edate!!!"
White lightening came out of Negi's palm and started to rush towards Yuuki. He turned around and scoffed. "Deflexio," he said as he raised his hands. A magic circle appeared in front of him and Tsukuyomi.
"You've got to do better than that Negi-sensei."
Negi gripped on his staff as Haruna, Nodoka, and Yue tended to the fallen girl. "Sakurazaki-san are you okay?" Nodoka asked as she brought Setsuna's right side up. Haruna drew up some bandages while Yue helped Setsuna on the left side.
"I should've known…Chigusa-san met with you and gave you--"
"--This?" Yuuki interrupted as he brought his hand up, showing the glowing ring. His green eyes started to change to red as he chuckled. "If you want to know more, you've got to find us," he said as he stepped in the hole.
"K-K-Kono-chan!" Setsuna yelled painfully as she held onto her stomach. Tsukuyomi looked at Setsuna once more. "I'm sure you'll know where to find us senpai." Before Setsuna said say anymore, the smaller girl stepped in the hole as well. As soon as she did, it closed. Negi looked to the girls and laid his hands on Setsuna's stomach quickly; his palms started to glow.
"I'm not that surprised that his punches didn't kill you but I am surprised that they didn't damage your insides."
"Negi-sensei,"
she breathed, "why does he have the Ring of The Black Ajah?"
1. "Unus Fulgor Concidens Noctem, In Mea Manu Ens Inimicum Edate" - A powerful white lightning attack.
2. The Black Ajah - The Black Ajah is from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time book series. I've never read the books but I read that an Ajah is a sub-society representation that on the council for the Sisterhood...yeah...I don't really know what that means but they still sounded pretty cool xD. Especially since The Black Ajah is the one that works for the bad guy of the story.
