Hey everyone, where's the reviews? >:( It's the only thing that keeps me going! Without them, I might become...A NERDY RPer! (Don't get me wrong, but I'm starting to fear that the RPs I'm in are gonna kill my story >. )

Anyway, I'm getting kind of excited. I'm almost done with this story, and can't wait for my 2nd fic! I'll tell you guys some things about the later chapters. They are confusing, sad, happy, etc. all on purpose. I hope xSojix will hurry up and space the next chapter! Lets all bug him :p That way you can see what I'm talking about.

Negima Vol 10 is coming out on the 27th for USA, don't forget to pick it up if you live there! Also, if you read the scanlations, you know just how awesome Negima is getting to be! I'm so glad that I chose this Manga for my first fanfic . Of course, it just might be that my school is out in 4 or 5 days, and I can't wait for 8th grade to be over...

Chapter 9

"I'm back!" Negi called.

"Ah, Negi-kun, your back." Asuna and Konoka said in unison. Negi noticed that, while Konoka was reading a book on her bed, Asuna seemed to be busy getting things, and she had her shoes on.

"Where are you going, Asuna-san?" Negi asked.

"Oh, a bunch of things opened recently, and theres a new movie out too, and I decided to check it all out. Konoka said that she went to a few of the stores and thought they were pretty good, too." Asuna replied.

Konoka gave a thumbs up "That's right!" she said cheerfully.

"Wanna come?" Asuna asked.

"Sure! This'll be fun." Negi replied enthusiasticly.

"Alright, just let me get a few things together. It'll only take a minute."

After a few minutes, Asuna, Konoka and Negi were on their way to a new resturant that just opened up.

"It's food is great! It's Italian!" Konoka had said. Negi was pretty excited. He loved Italian food, but rarely ever had it.

"Lets go wait in line!" Asuna said.

After a 10 minute wait, ("This place is busy!") Negi and Asuna were headed for a table, and looked at the menu.

"Mmmm, the spaghetti sounds delicious!" Asuna said, her mouth watering at the thought.

"The pizza doesn't sound too bad!" Negi had said, looking at the child's menu. Their food had come and the smells made them ravenous, and their food was soon finished.

"Thanks for paying, Asuna-san." Negi said.

"It was no trouble at all," Asuna replied, smiling. They came to the movie theatre, and looked at some of the new movies that were out. While deciding on what movie to watch, Konoka, Nodoka, Setsuna, and Ayaka were on the other side of the street.

"Isn't that Negi-sensei and Asuna-san?" Nodoka asked.

"Looks like it," Setsuna replied.

"Oh ya, Asuna-san was going to do things today, and Negi-kun wanted to tag along!" informed Konoka.

Everyone in the group looked at Ayaka. "W-What? Why is everyone looking at me?" Ayaka asked nervously.

"Its just that...you always seem to want to keep Negi-sensei from being outside with other girls..." Nodoka explained.

"Well, your right about that, but Asuna-san said that she doesn't like "10 year old brats", and how many times has it ever been a date? Think about it. The only one in 3-A that's dated Negi-sensei is you Nodoka, and as I recall, it didn't end idealy. I'm not too concerned about those two." Ayaka replied.

"Oh... OK." Nodoka said. They continued walking, but Nodoka couldn't help but look back at the smiling faces of Asuna and Negi.

Asuna and Negi ended up watching the latest thriller. They enjoyed the fight scenes, and the chase scenes, and over all the entire movie. Negi fell asleep near the end, and his head slid onto Asuna's shoulder. Startled, she looked at what had touched her, and found Negi's head. She smiled, then turned back to the movie. When the movie finished, they went sight seeing.

"Even the 5th time around, these places are still amazing!" Negi said with awe.

"Ya, they are. One of my favorites is the World Tree, though." agreed Asuna. Suddenly, she had a flash back to the "Kissing Terminator" incident, and got red.

"Is something wrong, Asuna-san?" asked Negi.

"N-Nothing, just thinking." she replied hastily. She looked up to the sky, and noticed the Sun was starting to set. "Ooo! Negi-kun, come here! There's someplace I want to show you!" Asuna grabbed Negi's wrist, and led him to a hill. She laid down, and looked toward the Sunset. She pointed, and said "This is my all time favorite place during Sundown. Its always so beautiful."

"Wow, look at all the reds and oranges and pinks in the sky" Negi said, mystified. When the sun went down, Asuna rolled onto her back, and gazed at the stars. "It really makes you wonder, doesn't it?" Asuna asked.

"What does?" Negi sat up.

"The millions of stars up there. They seem so infinite. Anything could be out there." Asuna replied. Tonight was an exceptional night for stargazing. In the dark blue sky, you could see the beautiful stars twinkling. It made one feel small, and almost insignifigant, but helped you realize who you were.

"The stars... People today never seem to be able to spare 5 seconds and look at them. The beauty of the lights in the sky makes me smile," Negi said.

"Negi, when you were fighting, why did you tell Eva-san not to kill the boy?" Asuna said.

"Hmm? Oh..." "Should I tell her about the vision I had?" Negi thought.
"I had a feeling that he would help us if he were alive." That was true enough. The dream he had told him that the boy should be kept alive. They sat there for awhile, just taking in the beauty of the stars, and having a quiet conversation. Negi started thinking more about his vision, and became more and more sure of who the woman in the cloak was. He couldn't be sure though. Even as they left Stargazing Hill, Negi began to feel as though danger started to loom over the horizon.

A shooting star went overhead, and Negi made a wish. "Please, keep everyone safe."

"Come on, Negi-kun!"

"Coming!" The shooting star disappeared into the night sky, and the stars twinkled, overhead.
