The Forgotten Date
I was in my dorm's restroom changing into some comfortable clothes for the fight. Konoka, Asuna, and Setsuna were all here. Setsuna and Asuna were sitting at the table while Konoka made some breakfast. At least she remembers how to cook.
I put on a white short-sleeved dress shirt, red tie, my star pendent necklace, grey skirt, red hi-tops, and my charm bracelet. I let my hair loose while my bangs covered most of the head along with some of my left eye. I looked towards the mirror to see I'd changed ever since I got here.
My eyes were mixed with some gold while my face made me seem like I got older as well. After the festival, we'll be going on summer vacation. Can't wait. That way I can rest…that is if I make it. I walked out of the restroom to see everyone was already eating.
"Come on Sammy, food's ready," said Konoka as she came over to the table with my plate of an omelet. It looked delicious, so I ran over to the empty seat on the left side. Konoka sat down next to me while placing the plate in front of me.
I got my fork and said, "Thanks for the food!" I bit on to the small piece I got from the plate. It burned a little, but the flavor made up for it. I knew my ears and tail had popped out from how great it was. "Ah! Konoka's cooking really is the best!"
They all laughed as they continued eating. That was until Setsuna asked the question everyone had on our entire minds. "How do you plan on taking on Eclipse?" I stopped with my fork in my mouth. I put it down while rethinking of everything Viridiana and Spirit had told me yesterday.
I didn't want to believe all of that. I was happy to yell off Spirit for not telling me he was my uncle. Though it did explain why he was so protective over me. Viridiana was one of Hikari's old friends along with my father's. What she had said before about promising to watch over me was true. She's shown me memories of when she hid in the shadows while watching over me.
I even learned Eclipse's true purpose for doing his doings. I finally understood everything. Except for some small parts, but it didn't matter now. I knew what I had to do. Even if my plan was risky, it was the only way.
I looked up towards Setsuna while getting my smile. "I have a plan, don't worry." I finished off the rest of my breakfast and got up quick. "I have to go see Spirit-sensei before my fight. He wanted to put in some extra training in the dome." Asuna looked towards me.
"We'll make sure to catch you in the locker rooms before the fight." I felt a small smile get on my face. Now that I think I about…
"I actually wanted to talk to you Asuna before the fight, but I guess I'll see you in the locker rooms. Later I don't want to get scolded at!" I said while running towards the door. I could hear Asuna screaming at me to tell her why I just wanted to talk to her. I'll explain later. She has to know some of the things I've planned.
As I reached the cabin I could feel a slight pain in my heart. It was getting worse, way more painful then it ever was. I had to pull through it though. This could possibly be the last day…for everything.
I walked through the door only to see no one was there or anywhere in the cabin for that matter as I passed around the inside. I stood by the stairs to try and see if I could hear anything up stairs. Nothing. Not even anything from the basement. I would have expected for Chachamaru to be at least making tea. I guess everyone's in the dome.
I ran through and down the stairs of the basement straight towards the time dome. Once I was there I noticed something seemed off at the resort. I shrugged it off and placed my hands on it. That's when the flash brought straight to the ground where Asuna and Negi usually train.
There standing by the path leading to the resort was Evangeline. She was wearing one of her many Lolita dresses. She seemed happy to see me here. I looked around to see no one else, but her. "Um, where's Spirit?" She shook her head as she walked over to me.
"He's gone somewhere to have catch up with Viridiana. Yami and Chachamaru were sent out with Kasey so she could enjoy the festival. No one but you and I." I felt some shivers go down my spine. "This way we can have a whole day together, for our date." That's when it clicked.
"Oh…" I scratched the back of my head, as she was now standing in front of me. "I forgot…sorry Master." She shook her head as she placed her arm around mine.
"Do not worry about it, because you're going to make up for it." She then started pulling me towards the edge of the balcony. There she pressed a button that made everything change. I mean everything. I was now standing in sand in front of a beach. "H-huh?" I turned around to see I was on an island.
I could feel someone's grip on my arm. I looked back to see Evangeline making her way towards the beach house that came out of nowhere. "Come along, we're going to the beach then later we'll have dinner, but first we need to change." I shrugged and followed her towards the house.
Once we were in the house she made her way towards the bedroom while I stayed down stairs. She turned with a small smile. "There's clothes for you in the bathroom to the left. I picked out the ones the suited you best," she said she went inside the room. I made my way towards the bathroom and to my surprise it was a huge bathroom.
There was a walk-in shower, the bathtub looked more like a Jacuzzi, the mirror was from wall to wall, with two sinks in front of the mirror, and the toilet was even a gold color. "Woah." There hanging behind the door was a set of a two-piece bathing suit.
The piece was a dark grey that had to be tied up. I slowly took of my clothes and out it on. I then noticed there was a short-sleeved hooded jacket behind them. After five minutes I was wearing the clothes Evangeline picked out for me.
I was now wearing a grey bikini top that had to be tied up by strings, grey bottoms also tied up by springs, the hooded jacket that was a dark blue with a checkered pattern at the end of the sleeves, and my star-pendent necklace. I let my hair loose along with my bangs covering most of my forehead.
I walked over to the mirror to see myself. I've never really worn something like this. Eh, it's not that bad I guess. If it's for Master… I walked out of the bathroom back towards the beach. There were some seats by the house along with a beach umbrella. I decided to set them up not wanting Evangeline to do it. It only took my ten minutes to set it up. I noticed that Evangeline still hasn't come out.
I looked back towards the house as I sat down on the mat in front of the umbrella. "Hm, I wonder what could be taking her so long?" I sighed while lying back on the mat. Might as well enjoy the nice breeze. I closed my eyes while waiting for Evangeline.
After a while I heard some shuffling next to me. I peeked through my right eye to see it was Evangeline said out next to me. She was laid out on her stomach while her top was let loose showing her bare back. I closed my eye and placed my hands behind my head. At least she looks…comfortable? Wait a second…
I jumped from the suddenly seeing her next to me. She turned towards me still with that smile. She spoke up, "Mind putting some lotion on my back?" I felt a slight blush get on my cheeks. She threw me the bottle as she rested her head on her arms.
I gulped while pouring some of the lotion on my hands. My hands started shaking as I slowly leaned my hands. Once I placed my hands on her back she sighed from the touch. I closed my eyes while putting the lotion on her back. This doesn't even make sense! She's a vampire! She doesn't need sun lotion.
That's when I smiled in the air only to notice it was the kind of lotion girls used to make their skin softer. It smelled a lot like strawberries. "S-sweet…" That's when I felt a sudden shift. I knew I was now on the ground with something on top of me. I was a little afraid to open my eyes. "Um, Master?"
"It's your turn." I knew I'd popped from the way she said that. It sounded almost like she was…impatient. Just don't open your eyes. Just don't open your eyes Sam.
That's when I felt her start rubbing my stomach up to my chest. Though it didn't feel like hands, but more like a board. I sneaked a peek threw my eyes to see it wasn't her hands. It was something even worse. I closed my eyes shut. Then I couldn't take. I jumped up and ran towards the water.
Once I jumped into the water I could hear Evangeline screaming out towards me. I was just too deep in the water to hear what exactly she was saying. I didn't really want to go up. I was red all over. Gah…I can't believe she did that. I swam in deeper trying to cool down.
It was already close to sunset. I was in the bathroom again changing into some formal clothing. The morning in the beach went by fast. Though once I got out of the water Evangeline and I played volleyball. She won with a very powerful spike that hit me right in the face. Now it was time for dinner.
It's a good thing that a day here is an hour out there. I guess this could be considered a small vacation? I walked over to the mirror to see how I looked in these clothes in which of course Evangeline picked out again. This time I was even more shocked of how I looked.
There in the mirror was a girl standing looking at herself in awe. I was wearing a black dress that was tight around the chest with no sleeves, flurry from the waist down that had white stars on it, some sliver heels, and my necklace. I let my hair loose with my bangs covering my forehead and the right side was lifted up by a blue rose pin.
"Wow, I look like…my mother." I laughed a bit as I touched my face. I never noticed how much I looked like her. I always thought I looked like my father, but now that I wore this I know I've got a little of both of them in me. I walked out of the bathroom making my way towards the balcony where everything was set up.
The table was right next to the balcony. There was a candle right in the middle of the table with a rose a little father from it. I just stood by the railing waiting for Evangeline. I heard some clanking. I turned to see it was the younger Chachamaru dressed as a waiter. She was placing down some delicious looking food. I felt my mouth watering. I shook my head trying to snap out of it.
"Suge…there's in even meat." I walked over to the table, but I didn't take my seat. I decided to wait for Evangeline a little more to at least pull out her chair for her. The young version of Chachamaru looked at me doing something I never thought I'd see Chachamaru do. She did a sign with her hands indicating I looked okay. I felt a slight blush on my cheeks. "C-Chacha!" She laughed a bit as she walked back towards the kitchen.
I crossed my arms still feeling the blush. Dang it, now my heart's non-stop thumping and I don't know what's going to happen right now. I mean I'm happy I get to spend sometime with her, but…I'm going to have to bring it up…aren't I? I heard the steps of heels coming towards me. I turned my head to feel my blush all over now.
Evangeline was wearing pink Lolita dress that was puffy at the bottom, a long-sleeved jacket over with a huge red rose on the right side, pink heels, and a black headband. Her hair was in curls while her bangs were covering her forehead. Though the thing that made me turn red was her expression. She was looking away from me with a small blush. Cute.
She walked over to the table and I pulled out her chair for her. She closed her eyes as she took her seat. I took mine as well. I just sat there in the awkward silence, as she got ready to eat I did the same. Once I got a whiff of the food again I quickly gave thanks while shoving a piece of the steak into my mouth. "Ah," I said in awe. She laughed a bit at me.
"It's just meat," I nodded my head slowly as I took another piece.
"Y-yeah, I know, but when you have a wolf half it tastes so much better!" She laughed a bit as she took a sip put of the wine young Chachamaru brought her. Hm, looks weird with her being in that body, but then again she way older than what she seems. She noticed me staring and tip the glass a little towards me.
"Would you like to try some?" I quickly shook my head.
"No, I think I'll wait until I'm older." She laughed once again while pulling it back towards her.
"I was merely joking." I felt my blush come back as I looked down at my lap. That's when I notice something different change in the air. I looked up to see she was just staring out towards the ocean. I leaned in closer to see she seemed very out of it.
"Master, something wrong?" She closed her eyes as she got a small smile.
"I know about the plan…" I felt myself feel a little guilty. After I got out of the pod Viridiana and Spirit told me everything in private. Especially for the plan they we'd made. If anyone had heard about it, there would be chaos.
"All of it?" She nodded her head slowly still looking away from me. I looked down at my plate trying to think of a way to change the plan, to make her believe what she heard was wrong. Though I knew no matter what I told her there was no way she would think I was right. " Ma-," she jumped out of her chair.
"How dare you make such a plan! And without even consulting anyone about it but those two?" She looked towards me and then I noticed something off about her. There were tears ready to fall form her eyes. I quickly got up from my chair. "It's such a reckless plan…"
"Master, I'm sorry, but it's the only way." That's when the clattering started. She smacked away the wine glass towards the floor. She then stomped her way over to me. The chibi vampire grasped my shoulders.
"Baka! I won't let you!" She started shaking me. I just let myself be shook along with keeping a small smile on my face. She hadn't started crying yet, but I knew she was on the verge to doing it. I placed my hand on her head. She stopped shaking me.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. If not you'll come save me, right, Master Evangeline?" She looked up at me. I was expecting the tears, but she seemed like she wanted to laugh more than cry. She smacked away my hand while turning her back.
"Of course, can't have my pupil die on me quite yet. If you do I'll have to punish you," that's when she turned around with a demonic look in her eyes. Scary. I nodded my head while giving her my goofy smile.
"I won't let you down!"
What was the plan Viridiana and Spirit have planned out? Why is it so reckless? Will Sammy really go through with it and win the fight against her archenemy, Eclipse? You'll have to wait and see in the next The Wolf and the Crow!
WH: Hey there everyone! Been a while hasn't it? Sorry about that, I haven't even had time to do these little cut scenes.
Lucky: Don't worry about it boss! I think you should tell them about the the big announcement!
WH: How about I let the stars of the show take it from here. Sammy and the Negima cast!
Sammy: Hey everybody! We're going to speak to you about the great…big…(gets smacked across the head) Ow!
Asuna: Baka! At least break it easily!
Sammy: Sorry Asuna.
Konoka: Well it's nothing to get sad over!
Setsuna: Right, just like what Ojou-sama said.
Sammy: Right! Right! I get it!
Negi: Sadly The Wolf and the Crow is coming to end very soon! So it might be time to say good-bye.
Evangeline: Damn Boss, you'd think the creator would break the news.
Sammy: Ha-ha, calm down Master, even if it's almost time to say good-bye we should make it last! Now everyone make sure to read, review, answer polls, and ask questions! Sammy out~!
