Chapter 11 The Will of the Motoyama

So Kageru is still alive… guess I managed to patch him
up before Setsuna sealed the thousand gates.

This is my new life…


Xxx Normal POV xxx

"K-Kageru?" Korin panted in shock.

"Yo, Korin." Kageru greeted.

"Inugami Kageru." Takato stated, "So you wish to fight against your client?"

"That monkey lady was never my client." The dog Hanyo stated, "If weren't for that useless little brother of mine, I wouldn't even be here. Man, Korin; you're in such a pitiful state. And I thought you managed to defeat me?"

"Shut it." Korin grunted.

"Heh, but it's fine." He said, "Leave the rest to me."

"W-Wait a minute!" Korin cried, "You couldn't possibly defeat him-"

"Just watch me."

Kageru flashed forward with his sword ready and slashes down, a huge claw strike hits the ground, but Takato has dodged it and leaped back. "I'm not done!" Kageru slashed up with countless of claw strikes hitting straight at the demonica, crashing into the demon-human hybrid. "Final Move! Claw Extinction!" The dog Hanyo slashed down with a huge claw strike that clash straight forward at him.

"You're annoying, Inugami Kageru."

Takato swings his hand and sends the claw attack flying away, crashing into the rows of trees beside him.

"N-No way…" Kageru stare in shock.

"Your power is weak, Inugami Kageru." Takato said, "My strength is beyond what you can accomplish. Get out of my sight."

"T-Teme…"

"Move, Kageru." Korin pushed the Hanyo back.

"That's what I'm supposed to tell you!" Kageru shouted, "You're injured too badly!"

"I said, move." A demon aura surrounds Korin, shocking him and by reflex Kageru leaped back. Korin looked back at Takato, "I understand, I'll show it to you." Crimson aura came out and drifted in the air surrounding him, "But for only a moment."

"Hmph, I see." Takato swings his blade down, "Good, maybe you're not that dumb as you are."

Red aura circles Korin and enters his body, his hair turns white and his eyes turned crimson red with silted pupils. The change brought upon a huge spike in energy, almost choking Kageru and everyone around the area.


Xxx with the trio xxx

Setsuna, Mana and Ku Fei nearly fell to their knees from the huge pressure of energy that seems so thick that it feels like their underwater. "W-What was that?-!" Mana cried.

"This energy… it's immense!" Setsuna grunted.

"What's wrong, Setsuna-san?-!" Asuna asked worriedly.

"This feeling…!" Tsuna realized, "It's Korin! He used the Demon Mode 2!"

"What?-!" Mikuri cried as she fired another storm arrow from the flaming bow, the bow that is completed made up of storm flames in the shape of a hawk, "For him to use that already… It can't be good!"

"What kind of opponent Korin is fighting?" Xion wondered.

"Demon Mode 2?" Mana wondered. She then turned around to fire her rifle at another horde of demons. "Say, is that a real gun?" Ku Fei asked worriedly. "It's just an air gun."

'Pretty strong for an air gun…' Xion thought.

Then demons came out and surrounded the sniper and martial artist, "Don't get cocky, you weaklings!"

"You won't be able to use that gun at close range!"

Mana simply smirked as she slams opened her gun case, out came two pistols. She grabbed them in mid air and starts shooting at all of them, blocking their strikes and countering with bullets to their face. All the demons were all eliminated with smoke coming out of her two guns.

"W-W-W-W-Wha- Why is Tatsumiya-san- was she that strong before?-!" Asuna cried.

"I used to exterminate monsters with her occasionally." Setsuna stated.

"Tatsumiya Mana…" Xion then remembered, "Oh! Her! No wonder she's that strong!"

"Ai ya! That's Mana for you!" Ku Fei said, "But this is the first time I've seen real monsters before!"

"You can go fight the weak ones, Ku."

"Ah! You're making fun of me!-!" The tan girl huffed, "Don't underestimate the power of four thousand years of Chinese martial arts!" A few demons came out from behind her, thinking that they could take on the small girl. They were wrong. Ku Fei easily turn around and blocked the assault, followed by a fist into the demon's gut, "Ma Ti Bung Chuen!-!"

"E-Even Ku Fei here!" Asuna stated, "And she's looks pretty strong too!-! I-I don't know what's going on, but it looks like we're saved!"

"Wah~" Tsukuyomi giggled.

"Come on, aru!" Ku Fei shouted, "Isn't there anyone stronger, aru?"

"Don't get cocky." Mana warned her, "You'll get hurt." It was that moment that a demon decides to sneak up on her, but then was kicked off almost simultaneously by a flaming leg from Xion, "The same thing I'll say for you." Xion stated. Mana smirked in respond


Xxx with Kaede xxx

Kaede nearly tripped over her feet, even Kotarou is stopped on his feet, when they sensed the huge spike in energy. 'What was that?' The ninja girl wondered. She has come to save Negi due to Yue's call, and she had to take on Kotarou so Negi could move and save Konoka.

"Ha! You're wide open!" Kotarou took that chance to fire some of his dog spirits, but Kaede easily took out her huge shuriken and pulled on a string, causing it to spin and deflecting the dog spirit. She then dashed forward with her spinning star of doom, and countless shadow clones leaped out from nowhere towards the dog boy with weapons drawn, startling him, 'Calm down! Attacks from the shadow clones can't hurt me-' That was proven wrong when one of the shadow clones managed to hit him, sending him back on fours.

"Kuh… you surprise me, narrow-eyed nee-chan!" 'You got way too many copies!' Kotarou shouted, "To think that someone like you would be living the carefree life of a middle school student!"

"You've got skills of your own, de-gozaru." Kaede smiled, "But it looks like you're still holding something back. Is it really okay not to get serious?"

"Heh… To get serious… Against a woman?-!" Kotarou laughed, "As if I would!" He leaped down and punches straight at Kaede, who dodged it and the punch hits the ground instead with an explosive result.

Yue just look by from the sidelines, 'I-Is this for real…? It's just like those childish novels Nodoka and Haruna read… No human could have that kind of physical strength… this contravenes all known laws of physics… This must be what Kaede-san called [ki] and [mana]! In order words, magic!' She concluded, 'And Negi-sensei…' She saw the two fights, 'I guess I'm not needed here…' She slips off to find the bathroom.


Xxx with Korin xxx

The overwhelming energy was startling Takato, 'What kind of energy is this?-! This is beyond what Destiny-sama has predicted!' He then regain his emotionless façade, "Is this it? Impressive but-" A slash right through his chest, Korin standing few meters from him, "W-What the…"

"I told you." Korin changed back to normal with red aura exiting him, "I only going to show you for a moment."

Black and red flames erupted from the wound, cutting him in two and castrating the demonica's wounds. The figure dropped into the ground, its skin tearing away as it lands on the floor with a soft thud. Kageru just looked in shock, 'A-Amazing…! So, this is the power of the Raging Wolf…'

Korin kneeled down next to Takato's corpse, "This texture…" He felt the skin, realizing that it is rubbery, as well as the yellow plastic under it, "A doll. That's some advanced spell." He concluded, before he dropped on fours from exhaustion, 'Damn… Looks like I push it a little too far…'

"W-Woah, you okay?" Kageru asked. "I'm good, just a little exhausted." Korin assures him. The dog Hanyo then noticed that the wounds Korin originally had are healed up with no scar whatsoever, "H-How did your wound…?"

"Hm?" Korin followed his gaze to his chest, "Oh, you mean this? In the Demon Mode 2, my body heal up ten times faster than normally. I guess due to the severity of the wound, it used up much more magic energy than it normally does."

"I-I see…" Kageru looked at Korin in amazement, "But that technique drains you rather quickly, don't it?"

"It does." Korin then realized, "You're not going to attack me now, are you?"

"Ah, no, no." Kageru waves his hand in denial, "It's not my style to attack people who can't fight back. But I can tell you what Amagasaki is planning." He then starts explaining, the awakening of the demon god that was sealed by none other than Negi's father and Eishun-san, and also Korin's own mother. He also added that if Chigusa managed to summon it successfully, almost nothing can stop her, even if reinforcements were to arrive the next morning.

"I see…" Korin then recalled something he found in a book in Dray's library, "That spell should work…" He got up and walked away.

"Where are you going?"

"To stop Amagasaki Chigusa, what else?"

"Stop her?-! Even if you were to reach the altar, you have to deal with that Fate kid!" Kageru shouted, "I like to be alive a little longer, thank you very much."

"There's no need to stop her." Korin tells him, "I'll defeat the demon god before she could use it." The dog Hanyo just gave him that what-the-fuck-did-you-just-say look. "You're crazy." Kageru concluded.

"You'll find out soon enough."


Xxx with Kaede xxx

Kaede sat on top of Kotarou in an arm hold, "I guess you weren't able to get serious after all, Kotarou-kun." The ninja girl said cheerfully, "You had no real intention of winning, de-gozaru."

"No, I won't make excuses." Kotarou grunted, "A loss is a loss, strong onee-san."

"Di… Did you win?" Yue asked before noticing the huge figure behind them, "K-Kaede-san! L-Look!"

"Hm?"

Xxx with the trio(Not a trio anymore, but you know what I mean) xxx

They all are managing to push back all the demons, but then a bright light luminates the sky, "O…Oi! S-Setsuna-san! What's that?-!" Asuna cried.

"W-What the hell…?" Tsuna stuttered in shock.

"W-What's that?-!" Setsuna cried.

Everyone all paused and saw the huge demon with two faces and four arms in the middle of the lake.


Xxx with Negi xxx

Negi just gawked at the huge demon that just appeared in front of him, Amgasaki Chigusa floating on its shoulder with Konoka. Negi has managed to get to the altar, and also somehow managed to trap Fate in a wind arrow capture spell, but it was too late, the ritual is complete, "T-That's!-! This… This is…"

"It's huge!-!" Kamo cried, "Oi, oi, oi! C-Chotto!-! It's enormous! Gigantic!-!"

"The two-faced four-armed giant demon, [Ryoumen Sukunanokami]," Chigusa stated, "A giant demonic god that was defeated 1600 years ago… Fufufu… the summoning is a success! The legends said he was as tall as 180 feet… but it seems like he's even bigger. He's so big, it's scary…"

"W-W-W-W-W-What are we going to do about against an opponent like him?" Kamo stuttered, just as Negi starts to gather magic energy, "A-Aniki?-!"

"We've got no choice but to go all out!-!" The kid teacher declared, "Ras Tel Ma Scir Magister; Veniant Spiritus Aeriales Fulgurientes(Gather unto me, spirits of wind and lightning)!"

"W-Woah, hold on there, aniki!" Kamo cried, "It's true that is a really effective spell, but your magic power should be at its limit by now!-! If you pull off a spell like that, you'll collapse!"

Negi ignore his ermine friend and carries on chanting, "Fum Fulgastio Efulet Tempestus… Austorina(With lightning flees the Southern Storm)!"

"W-What?-!"

"Vois Tempestus Fulguriens(Jupiter's Thunderstorm)!-!" A storm of lightning and wind blast right out of Negi's hand and hits straight at the demon, but was easily deflected, "W-Wha…" Negi panted in shock.

"Fufufu… Hahahahahahaha!-!-!" Chigusa laughed, "Is that all you got, son of the Thousand Master? It as if had no effect! With Konoka ojou-sama's power, he's completely under my control! Nothing can stop me now! I'll crush all your reinforcements too when they arrive tomorrow!-! And with this power, all the western mages who have been slowly eating away at the east, will be wiped out in one blow!-! Ahahahahaha!-!-!"

"D-Damn it…" Negi panted as he dropped to the ground on fours, "K-Konoka-san…"

"Aniki! Aniki! Get a hold on yourself!-!"

The wind arrow bindings that keeping Fate down broke, "You fought well… too bad, Negi-kun."

'Crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap this is bad!-! I've got to do something!' Kamo then remembered something, 'T-That's it! I still haven't used that of the Pactio card's ability!'


Xxx with the trio xxx

Everyone is all slashing and swatting away the demons around them, "Didn't Negi made it in time?-!" Asuna cried.

"I don't know but we have to go and help him!-!" Setsuna cried.

"Easier said than done!"

"One path, coming up!" Xion and Mikuri fired a huge blast that took out half the army of demons, leaving a clean straight path out of the rumble, "Go, Setsuna-chan!" Mikuri cried.

"M-Mikuri-sama?-!"

"Are you running away, senpai~?" Tsukuyomi leaped forward towards Setsuna, before a bullet stops her in her tracks.

"Go, Setsuna!" Mana shouted, "Go help your cute little sensei!"

"We'll take care of these guys, aru!" Ku Fei added.

"B-But…"

"Don't worry! I'll charge you plenty for this!-!"

Setsuna nearly paled of the bills Mana has piled up for her, "S-Sorry about this! Let's go, Asuna-san!"

"I'll meet you there!" Tsuna flew up into the air and flew straight towards the demon.

"A~an~, More interferences." Tsukuyomi sighed, "Projectiles won't work against us Shinmei-ryu, you know."

"I know." Mikuri interfered as she took out a sword handle(Ishida Uryu's sword/arrow from when he's in Huedo Mundo) from her belt and a red flaming blade erupted from it, "So this blade will do."


Xxx with Tsuna xxx

He flew straight towards the large demon, not easy to be misguided since it's a demon the size of a skyscraper in the middle of the forest, 'Man, what's keeping Korin?-!'

"Tsuna, you there?"

Tsuna was startled by the sudden telepathic link, "Korin?-!"

"Yeah, sorry for not contacting you. I was a little busy." Korin apologized, "Listen, I have a way to defeat the demon before it could cause real damage, but I need you to weaken it with your XX Burner in order for it to work."

"I understand. But I need to get Konoka-san away first."

"Leave that to Setsuna."

Tsuna stopped on his path, "Operation XX."

"Understood, boss." A female mechanical voice said, "Contacts changing to XX Burner Firing Sequence."


Xxx with Negi xxx

Fate slowly walked over towards Negi, "I won't kill you… but… anyone who faces me had better be prepared to get hurt." Fate stated. Negi just glared at him and panting raelly strongly, "You pushed your physical and magical powers to their limits. You did well, Negi-kun." He prepared to release a spell at him.

"Do it, aniki!"

Negi reached into his pockets and threw up his two pactio cards, "Summon! Ministra Negi, Kagurazaka Asuna, Sakurazaki Setsuna!" Two magic circles appears in front of him and Asuna and Setsuna appeared with their weapons drawn and ready. "Asuna-san, Setsuna-san, I-I'm sorry…" Negi panted, "Konoka-san is…"

"We know, Negi!" Asuna then noticed the actual size of the demon, "Gyah! What the heck is that thing?-!"

"Calm down, ane-san!"

"So what do you intend to do?" Fate asked as he starts to chant, "Vishu Talri Shutal Vangait; Bashirike Galiote Meta Octo Podon Kai Cocoon Onmeti(King of the Eight-Legged Lizards who bears the cursed eyes)…"

"W-What?-! That was his activation keyword!" Kamo cried, "He's a western mage and he's… ane-san! Stop his incantation!"

"We won't make it!" Setsuna cried.

"Wanen Tou Eve Ton Kutanon Parailsan(Breath of Poison Stealing Time)! Pnoee Petras(Petrification Breath)!" Magic smoke surrounds the entire area, Fate just stood there looking blankly as usual, "Crap… I overdid it…"

Unknown to him, Negi, Asuna and Setsuna managed escape before the spell could affect them, "W-We got away somehow…" Setsuna panted, "Looks like he hasn't realized it yet. Thanks Rin-Ko." On the bird Hanyo's side stood the little white wolf box weapon, who barked in response. Korin has sent it to assist Setsuna before he went and go crazy with Takato, and it managed to neutralize most of the spell using its howl, giving them time to get out of the smoke before they become statues.

"Are you okay, Negi?" Asuna asked worriedly, "You look terrible!"

"T-Thanks…" Negi thanked. Setsuna then noticed Negi's right hand, which is slowly being petrified. "S-Sensei, y-your hand…" Negi quickly hide the near stone hand, "I'm fine." Negi assures her, "It barely touched me."

"…!" Setsuna thought really hard, whether to use it or not, especially in front of her new teacher and classmate. She wanted to save her childhood friend but she doesn't want her new friends to fear her as well. She was completely in conflict with herself.

"You're Setsuna. That's that. Don't listen to other people's comments. Have more confidence."

"You shouldn't be afraid. These wings don't make who you are. They are a part of you."

Her two teachers' advices ring through her mind, before she mentally nodded, 'I understand it now, Korin-dono, Sawada-sensei.' "…you two get away from here. I'm going to save ojou-sama!"

"Eh?-!" Asuna cried.

"Ojou-sama and Chigusa are on the shoulder of that giant." Setsuna stated, "I can make it there if it's just myself."

"B-But how are you going to get up that high?-!"

"Negi-sensei, Asuna-san…" She braced herself, "I…I have a secret I've kept from you and ojou-sama… Once you've seen me in my true form… I'll have to say goodbye. But now… with you two…" She encased her white bird wings in full glory, Negi and Asuna stared in the mix in awe and shock, "…T-This is my true form. I'm a monster, just like them. Please don't misunderstand! My desire to protect ojou-sama is real! But I've kept it a secret all this time… Because I was afraid ojou-sama would hate me if she saw this ugly form! I… Even Miyazaki-san has more courage than me… I'm pathetic!"

"Hm…" Asuna inspects the white wings, much to Setsuna's surprise, straightening out any out-of-place feathers.

"A-Asuna-san?"

The twin tailed baka ranger then gave a hearty slap on the back, although it seems way too strong, "What are you talking about, Setsuna-san?" Asuna grinned widely, "I think they're cool!" Setsuna could just stare in surprise, remembering Korin's words three years ago, "Konoka's your childhood friend, and you've been watching over her from the shadows for the past two years now. What have you seen during that time?"

Asuna gave an assuring smile, "Do you think Konoka is the kind of person to hate just for something like this? You're such an idiot!" Her face is replaced by Korin's face in Setsuna's eyes. She now fully understands that there are people who will stand by you all the way, no matter who or what you are.

"Go, Setsuna-san! We'll support you! Right, Negi?"

"Y-Yes!"

"Rao!" Rin-Ko barked in response.

"See, even this little wolf pup says he'll support you!" Asuna stated.

"O…Okay!" Setsuna said with happy tears.

"…So there you are…" Fate walked out of the smoke.

"RAO!-!" Rin-Ko lunged at the boy with its sword, that appears in a burst of flames, in its mouth; Fate, however, easily swat the wolf to the side with a backhand. The wolf lands onto the surface of the water, before lunging forward for another attack, which the mysterious boy tries to swat off but missed it completely as Rin-Ko strikes past on the boy's arm, but can't cut through it; Fate swats the pup away, but it kept on charging straight at Fate.

"Looks like he is trying to buy us some time." Kamo stated about the wolf pup.

"Negi-sensei…" Setsuna said, "Thanks for trying so hard… for Kono-chan…" She leaped and flew off.

"So that's your plan." Fate said emotionlessly, before he swats Rin-Ko away and aimed at the flying Hanyo, but Negi interrupted with a light projectile to the arm. "Wha…What are we going to do now, Kamo-kun?"

"Uh… I'm out of ideas too…" Kamo said grimly.

"Hey, boya, can you hear me?"

"Ah! That voice!"

"Fufufu… I've come to see you fight. This shouldn't be all you've got, boy. Show them your spirit! If you can last another minute and a half, I'll finish the rest."

"T-That voice! It can't be…" Asuna cried out in shock.

"It is, ane-san!" Kamo said.

"That was a brilliant plan you pulled back there, boy. However, you're still too smart for your own good. Do you think you can catch up with your father like that? Sometimes you got to rush in blindly without thinking about the consequences. If you're a brat, then act like one and leave the rest to the adults!"

"Asuna-san…"

"Negi!"

"Let's go!" Negi got his staff ready, while Asuna readied her fan weapon, "Okay!"

"Are you coming?" Fate asked, "Then I shall be your opponent."

"GO!" Kamo shouts.

"I invoke the contract!" Negi shouted. Asuna charges forward with her fan, but then Fate flashed into the air and sends her crashing into the wooden platform with a kick, "Asuna-san!" the boy suddenly got behind Negi and sends him flying with a left straight, sending him flying and crashing into Asuna. They managed to get back up panting but Fate was not done as he carried on with his assault, with punches and well placed hits, followed by a elbow strike.

He then leaped into the air with magic gathers onto his fingertips, "Vishu Talri Shutal Vangait; Bashirike Galiote Meta Octo Podon Kai Cocoon Onmeti, to Phos Emei Cheiri Kathias toi Kakoi Dergmati Toxeusato(King of the Eight-Legged Lizards who bears the cursed eyes, extend thy light from my hand to project thy gaze of disaster)…" Asuna immediately brought herself in front of Negi, "Kakon Omma Petroseos(Gaze of Petrification)!"

A beam of light shone from Fate, but the light seems to get nullified the moment it touches Asuna, petrifying her clothes but not her body. "A-Asuna-san…"

"I knew it, the ability to completely nullify magic, huh?" Fate stated, "I'll take care of you first, Kagurazaka Asuna." He readied a magically charged punch and strikes straight at Asuna. What he did not expect is that Negi managed to grab onto the punch before it could do any real damage.

"A…Asuna-san…" Negi panted, "A…Are you okay?"

"I'm okay, Negi. Kids who are naughty…" Asuna turns her body, breaking her petrified clothes in the process, "…Needs to be punished!" She swings her fan at Fate, destroying his barrier.

'M-My barrier!'

Meanwhile, Setsuna has managed to reach Chigusa before she could react, "Y-You! When did she…?"

"Amagasaki Chigusa, I'm taking back ojou-sama!" Setsuna flew straight down towards Chigusa with her sword ready to strike.

"Kuh… she's too close!" Chigusa cried, "I can't use Sukuna's powers!" She called forth her two stuff-animal demons.

Back with Negi, the kid teacher readied his right hand, forcing it to move with cracks, "Aniki, now!"The ermine words brought about his power and he lands one straight hit at Fate's face, just as Setsuna saved Konoka from Chigusa.

"Ojou-sama! Ojou-sama!" Setsuna shook her friend in her arms, "Are you all right?-!" Konoka opened her eyes slowly; the charm around her neck removed and disappears into the wind, "Ah… Se-chan…" Konoka said softly, "Hehe… I knew it… you came to my rescue again."

"Are you hurt, ojou-sama?" Setsuna asked worriedly.

"Eh? A-Ah…" Konoka starts to blush really red, "It actually felt good… Uwah~ How embarrassing~ Ah Y~a, just pretend you didn't see, Se-chan."

"O-Ojou-sama…"

"A-Ara?" Konoka then noticed the wings sprouting out of her friend's back, "S-Se-chan, your back…"

"Eh! A-Ah… t-these are…"Setsuna stuttered, waiting for either a scream or a shout; but all she heard was a soft giggle.

"Beautiful wings…"

"Eh?"

"Like an angel…" They just flew in the night sky, the moonlight luminating the lovely friends(*cough*lovers*cough*).


Xxx with Negi xxx

Fate just slack back from the impact of Negi's fist, "D-Did we get him?" Asuna asked worriedly.

"This is the first time someone has actually managed to hit me…" Fate recoiled back, "Negi Springfield!" He threw another punch straight at the kid teacher.

"Negi!"

A hand then came out of the shadows and grabbed the attacking arm, before a small blonde figure came out of the darkness, 'Teleportation via shadow?-!'

"Looks like you've been taking care of my boy, amateur." A fist sends him flying over and crashing away into the lake, a blonde pale girl in black robes stood in front of them, "E-E-E-Evangeline-san!" Negi cried. "Now we're even boy." Evangeline chuckled. She then felt a familiar presence, "Oh~? Looks like he is as strong as Giotto was…"

"Huh?"


Xxx with Chigusa xxx

"Y-You're a Shinmei-ryu and yet… you're a Hanyo…?" Chigusa panicked, "B-But as long as I have Sukuna, I can get her back."

"XX-Burner!-!-!-!-!"

A blast the shape of Na-Tsu came roaring straight at the demonic god, blowing it an intense blast of sky flames. "W-What was that?-!" She looked over in the smoke, to see Tsuna with both his hands put, his boosters keeping him in the air, "T-That guy!"

"There, done!" Tsuna said over the telepathy, "You better get rid of that demon!"

"Consider it done!"

"Motoyama Sealing Arts, No. 50: Jintofuuin(God Sword Seal)!" Four swords came crashing down from the heavens, stabbing the Sukuna's four limps in the ground, each with four chains that linked themselves into the ground. Seven more blades stab into the body with chains the binds around the demon; the huge beast roaring out in pain.

"W-What is this?-!"

"Roar, the dragons of the east; ones that breathe out the flames… Howl, the dragons of the west; ones that breathe out the winds…" Chigusa looked up when she heard the chanting, to see Korin floating above her, his right eyes burning a bright blue flame and his right hand up with his index and middle finger pointing up; a blue light shone from his fingers.

"W-What is this chant?-!" Chigusa cried.

"K-Korin-sensei?" Asuna stuttered in shock of Korin in the air, and the fact his right eye is on fire!

"What kind of spell incantation in this?" Kamo asked.

"Come forth! The dragons of the four worlds! Dragons of the universe! The ones who will sends the sinful to hell, the saints to heaven!" A magic circle, bearing a western mark as well as a ring of eastern magic seals, two larger circles sandwiched it in the middle.

"T-That mark! W-Who are you?-!" Chigusa cried out.

"Remember it well, Amagasaki Chigusa!" Korin called out, "My name is Korin Yan, P.E. teacher of Mahora class 3-A, and also… The Vongolia Sky Knight Decimo as well as the son of Motoyama Karin and Yan Yong-Kia! I'm the Raging Wolf! Beware my name!-!"

"V-Vongolia?-!" Chigusa cried, "T-That Vongolia?-!"

"He's getting too excited in this…" Tsuna sweat-dropped, "And what's with the 'beware my name'?"

"Motoyama Attack Arts, No. 23: Ryutaihou(Great Dragon Cannon)!-!" Korin punches the circle and sending a huge blast blue blast, the one his future self used against the Mare Knights, crashing into the demon from above. Sukuna roared out painfully, "And to make sure…" He took a deep breath, "Dragon's Raaagggggggeeeeeeeeeeeee!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!" His flaming breathe attack engulf the entire demon; it roared out in pain before collapsing into the lake, the sky knight smirked at his job well-done.

"A-Amazing…" Negi gawked in awe.

"A sealing spell followed by a SS-ranked artillery attack spell… and a powerful one to boot." Kamo stated, "Korin-aniki is stronger than I estimated… Not only that, Tsuna-aniki is just as strong!"

"Expected of fratello's and Giotto's successors." Evangeline smirked.

"Oh? Eva-san?" Korin said in surprise as he flew down to them, "How are you here?"

"That's right! You shouldn't be able to leave the school grounds due to the curse!" Asuna stated.

"Ah, about that…" Chachamaru suddenly appeared with Tsuna, startling them, "Even now, we're using a complex high-level ritual in order to continue to deceive the spirits that perpetuate the spell. The principal has to sign and seal one 'Evangeline is in Kyoto for school purposes' document every five seconds. I apologized for the time it took to prepare."

"As a reward for today, that old geezer has agreed to endure signing perdition until we finish sightseeing in Kyoto tomorrow." Evangeline stated, "I'll never get a chance like this again!"


Xxx Mahora's Principal's office xxx

Konoemon is busy stamping away at the huge pile of paper, "Huuu, this is harder than I thought! Hurry up and get back here!"

"Less talking, more sealing! We're there to protect your granddaughter too!"

"Uhuuu! This is oppression of the elderly, damn it!"


Xxx Kyoto, Sukuna's altar xxx

They all paled at the punishment the old principal has to go through, almost pitied him, "Once every five seconds…?" Asuna stated, "Is the principal going to be okay?"

"Yeah, what if he needs to go to the bathroom?" Tsuna stated.

"That old man is going to die in this rate…" Korin paled.

"Hmph! This is all his fault for not foreseeing this would happen anyway!" Evangeline huffed, "He deserves to work a bit. I have all my powers back while I'm outside the barrier created around the academy by the curse. In other words, I'm at my strongest as long as I'm violation of the curse." She gave a smile, "Fufu, it feels great to be out after so long."

Korin gave her a smack in the head, shocking everyone, "That doesn't mean you can force the principal to do such a labor." Korin scolded, "Besides, you can just tell me that you wanted to go out. I could have removed the curse for one day for you."

'He smacked her!' Negi, Asuna and Kamo mentally cried.

"Shut up, I can do that on my own, baka!-!" Evangeline whined, "I'm not a little kid anymore!" She then stopped, realizing what she just said. 'Shit! He looks so much like fratello that I acted normally!'

Korin and Tsuna tried to stop themselves from bursting into laughter, and failing miserably; while Negi and Asuna just looked in shock of the other side of their classmate/student, a rather little sister kind of side; even Chachamaru was shocked of this side of her master. The two skies couldn't help themselves and burst out laughing, "HAHAHAHA, OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO CUTE!-!"

"S-Shut up!" Evangeline cried, blushing deeply.

They all noticed the huge blast from the lake, and the summoned demons all know what that means, "Looks like the battle has been decided." The leader stated, one of the demons was just plain shocked that they lost even though they outnumber them a hundred to one, "You win. What will you do now, nee-chan?"

"We're only here to help." Mana stated, "If you retreat now, we'll have no reason to fight."

"It's over already, aru?" Ku Fei whined, "I didn't get a chance to really go crazy yet, aru~"

"Expected of Korin." Mikuri giggled, her armor change back to her storm hawk who lands on her shoulder, "Making that flashy finish."

"What will you do, swordsman of Shinmei-ryu?" Xion asked Tsukuyomi.

"Well, I already worked off what I was paid." Tsukuyomi stated, "It's a shame I didn't get to fight senpai but… I'll be going back too. Tell Setsuna-senpai I say hi, gunslinger onee-sans."

"see you later, ladies~" One of the demons said as the army vanish away in a smoke.

"We had fun, western gunslingers. Tell those boys and other girls we said hi!"

"It's been a long time since we had so much fun." The leader gave a thumbs-up, "Let's have a drink together next time we meet."

"But we're still below drinking age." Mana stated. "They seems like nice people(?), aru." Ku Fei said.

Mikuri and Kasumi just looked at them in amazement that they are that calm.


Xxx with Kaede xxx

"Looks like everything went well." Kaede said with a smile.

"Hmph… that bastard…"

"Um… Kaede-san, shouldn't we tie this boy up or something?" Yue asked, pointing at the dog boy.

"Hmph, don't make me laugh, shrimp." Kotarou stated, "I won't run once I admit defeat. I still haven't had my showdown with Negi yet, either."

'Shrimp…?' Yue thought angrily, '…his way of thinking is so simple and childlike, maybe that's how the bad guys managed to use him?'

"Oh, there you are, Kotarou." Kageru emerged from the trees.

"Oh, nii-san." Kotarou greeted.

"Who might you be?" Kaede asked, Yue a bit weary of him.

"Inugami Kageru." He stated, "This idiot's older brother." He looked over to the lake, "You better get moving. Something tells me that things are about to go wrong."

"I agree." Kaede nodded, "Yue-dono, let's go check on them, de-gozaru."


Xxx with Negi xxx

"Looks like you overdid yourself, Decimo." Evangeline stated as she give her cloak to cover Asuna's naked upper body.

"If I were to take that beast down, I have to overdo it." Korin stated.

"What does that even mean?" Asuna sweat-dropped.

"Ne, Negi, are you all right?" Korin asked, "You seem to have taken quite a beat-down." Behind him, a figure is slowly getting out of the puddle, Fate prepare to attack Korin, but what he did not expect as a blade right through his face, "Sneak attacks won't work on me." Black-orange flames erupted from the blade, as Korin swings his sword down with devastating results. That Fate, on the other hand, turns out to be a water image, "I see. The Vongolia's Hyper Intuition… It's no wonder Takato would failed to defeat you using that doll… It will be dangerous to fight someone like you now; I'll be retreating for today." The water illusion splashed into many droplets.

'A water double, huh?' Korin thought. "That brat is no human either." Evangeline tells him, "The ways he moves is like a construct. I have no idea who might be working for, though…" Korin, on the other hand, have an idea already, the man that gave the cursed mark on his hand, Prima 'Destiny' Vestoria.

Negi suddenly collapse onto the floor, "N-Negi?-!" Tsuna cried, noticing the petrification of his right side.

"W-What's wrong, boy?-!" Evangeline cried.

"Negi-sensei?-!" Chachamaru cried worriedly.

"This isn't good." Korin quickly ran over and turns him onto his back, "This really isn't good…!"

"Aniki! He's a mess!" Kamo cried, "His entire right side has turned to stone!"

"Negi-kun!-!" Konoka cried as she ran over with a towel covering her naked body with Setsuna behind her. "Negi-sensei!" Setsuna cried.

"Ah! Konoka! Setsuna-san!" Asuna cried.

"What's wrong, de-gozaru?-!" Kaede asked worriedly with Yue and Kotarou right behind.

"Kaede-san! Yue-san!" Konoka cried.

"What's going on?-!" Mikuri called out with Xion, Mana and Ku Fei behind her.

"Onee-sama! Tatsumiya-san! Ku-san!"

"He's in a critical situation…" Korin said grimly, "His magic resistance is incredibly strong, so the petrification process is very slow. But if this continues, he'll die from suffocation if his neck is petrified."

"Can't you do something, Eva-chan?-!" Asuna asked.

"I-I-I'm really bad in healing magic…" Evangeline said.

"Korin, can't you do something?-!" Mikuri asked.

"Not like this." Korin stated, "My healing spells only worked on flesh wounds, not on curses."

"What about your demon flames?" Xion stated, "They have the nullification characteristics so it might work."

"That's even worse. If I don't concentrate hard enough, I can paralyse his entire right side by mistake."

"N-No way…"

"The reinforcements arriving at midday could probably heal him, but they won't make it in time." Kamo stated.

"But then…" Tsuna thought for a moment, just as Konoka stepped up, "Konoka-san?"

"Ano… Asuna… is it okay if I kiss Negi-kun?"

"Eh?" Asuna look at her roommate in shock, "W-What are you saying, Konoka?-! At a time like this-"

"Awawawa, no, no! That's not what I meant!" Konoka stated, "You know, that 'Pactio' thing… Everyone… Se-chan told me everything… arigatou, my classmates has worked so hard to help me today, if I even couldn't even do this much…"

"Ah! That's right!" Kamo realized, "The pactio draws out the latent powers in the other party! If we can use the healing power Konoka-neesan used at Cinema Town…"

"Ah, I see!" Tsuna and Korin stated.

Kamo drew the circle and Konoka and Negi entered into the center, "Negi-kun… hold on…" she leaned down and kissed the younger boy, with the circle shining brightly, the card drops onto her hands. With Korin's help, they managed to reverse the petrification on him. They all went back and all the petrified people were all returned back to normal, even Axel and Maria, Xion tearfully tackled the male in a joyful hug. Korin and Tsuna have agreed to tell them everything when they return to the hotel, or at least when Haruna and Yue are not around.

The event in Kyoto finally reached to its last page.


Xxx the next morning xxx

Negi woke up from his personal room in shock, "A-Ara…? A…A dream…?"

"I've contacted my partner and settled everything." Evangeline's voice said from behind the door, "We'll be handing the ringleader over to you now."

"Thank you so much, Evangeline-san." Setsuna's voice said. Negi peeped through the door, to see Setsuna packing up and Evangeline sitting by the railing with Chachamaru by her side, "It seems like Negi-sensei is fast asleep." The android said.

"Well, it was a hard night for him." Setsuna stated. She lift up her bag and sword and starts walking off. "Hey, are you leaving?" Evangeline stated, "You should at least say goodbye."

"No…" The bird Hanyo stated, "It would only be painful to see him face to face again…"

"SETSUNA-SAN!-!-!-!" Negi heard enough and slams opened the doors, "Where are you going?-! What about Konoka-san?-!"

"I…It's the law of my people…" Setsuna stated, "Once you've seen my true form… I've no choice but to… I've fulfilled my vow to ojou-sama, and I've repaid my dept to the Konoe Family who raised me after the Shinmei-ryu abandoned me." She took off, "I'm leaving the rest to you, Negi-sense-" She then was tripped on both feet by two sweeping kicks. She grunted in pain before looking up to see Korin and Mikuri looking at her, "K-Korin-dono? M-Mikuri-sama?"

"Where are you going, Setsuna-chan?" Mikuri asked sternly.

"You're not planning on quitting school are you?" Korin stated.

"N-No! I-It's not like that?-!"

"Come here you!" Korin grabbed her and gave a noggie straight down on her head.

"Itetete~ Itai~ Itai!" Setsuna cried.

"Listen, you!" Korin shouted angrily, "I don't care whether your tribe, people, whatever you call it, has laws for this. All I want to know is whether you want to stay or not!" Setsuna widen her eyes in revelation, "You say you're scared that Konoka would fear you, but Konoka has accepted for who you are. So there's nothing to worry about right?"

"K-Korin-dono…"

Korin let her go, before ruffling her head, "Hanyo or not, you're still Sakurazaki Setsuna. Konoka wouldn't leave you, and neither would me nor Mikuri, you can bet on that." Setsuna starts to blush red, her heart fluttering with a new emotion she never felt before besides with Konoka.

"Big trouble, Setsuna-san!" Asuna came flying and kicking Korin away. "Se-chan! Se-chan! We've got trouble!" Konoka came running behind her.

"W-What happened?" Setsuna asked.

"The paper copies of ourselves back at the hotel have gone berserk!" Asuna cried.

"EEEHHHHH?-!-?-!"

Everyone else all came running out, all calling out to Setsuna to come with them, touching the Hanyo. Korin smiled and ruffled her head again, "Let's go, Setsuna. You're friends are waiting."

"T-Thank you, Korin-dono…" Setsuna wiped her teary eyes, "Let's go, ojou-sama!"

"Aw~ Se-chan, just call me Kono-chan!"

"E-Eh, s-sorry, i-it became a habit…"

"Oi! If you guys don't hurry up, we're going to leave you behind!"

"Ah! I still haven't change yet!-!"

Korin just sighed tiredly at the crazy scene in front of him, Mikuri giggled at him, "What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing." Mikuri said cheerfully, "Just that it's been a while since I saw you sigh like that."

"And that's a good thing?"

"Nah, just nonsensical~"

"Come on, Korin-sensei!" Asuna called out.

"Ah! Coming!" Korin called back, "See you later, Mikuri!" He ran after his students, Tsuna after him as well. Mikuri looked at her crush's back, "Korin… I wonder if what you would answer to tou-san back then…?"
