A/N: I just realized something funny from my last chapter, how did Masayoshi draw a magic circle around the paper if he had a hand on it…yeah…it was weird… well it seems I left you all in the dark last chapter, (no pun intended, actually yeah it was intended.) and Masayoshi was tailing Negi and co. so lets see who grabbed him.

Disclaimer: If I can…If I…I'm running out of witty comments…I'm getting writer's block for the disclaimer! I'm such an idiot! I don't own Negima or any characters belonging to Negima, all I own is Masayoshi and the plot to come… If it ever comes around to showing up, which so far it hasn't.

Screwed Up

Masayoshi quickly turned around and whipped out his quill, but he didn't expect to see a flash of a sword in such a narrow area. He blocked it with his quill causing a green spark, "Hey now! I don't have any money!"

The assailant jumped back farther into the shadow the large sword pointed at him, "I will not let you harm Ojou-sama…" Masayoshi squinted trying to see the attacker, but had to jump back when the sword came down vertically causing sparks against the concrete.

Masayoshi decided that running away would just cause problems, he sweatdropped imagining him and his unknown assailant fighting in the middle of a shopping district. He held his quill in his right hand feeling a bit over powered… "OK I won't hurt your ojou-sama, but, eh… I don't know what you're talking about…"

"Don't act stupid…" The aggressor charged at Masayoshi preparing to stab Masayoshi through, Masayoshi timed it perfectly and sidestepped the swordsman, the attacker over did it and went right past Masayoshi; he got a glimpse of black hair.

He quickly put the point of his quill on the skin on the back of the assailant's neck, "OK now… let's drop that pretty sword alright miss? No point in getting hurt…" But he felt something on the back of his neck. He laughed embarrassingly and put his hands above his head.

The person holding the gun to Masayoshi's neck began to talk to the swordsman, "How did you lose to him? I told you I thought this space was too small for your sword…"

The swordsman turned around to face the gunner, "He's fast. I thought he'd be like the others… I underestimated him…"

Masayoshi opened his mouth to talk, but was swiftly punched in the jaw, "Mrffl!" he fell to his knees in pain. Then he realized the attacker in front of him was the same person who attacked him on the train. He still had his quill in his hand, he tried to focus, but realized his vision was blurring, oh lovely…I'm passing out…just for a punch in the face…ugh… using the last of his strength he reached for his book he kept in the bag on his left shoulder, but touched only his side. His eyes opened in shock, then became narrow in realization, the twins… ugh they took my bag instead of their purse! Wait…how could they mix that up? He quickly drew up a circle that should be able to disarm his aggressors, but his hand was then stepped on by the gunner.

The gunner held the gun to his head, "Now now, no use trying to use magic to escape, you even make a whimper I'll blow your head off."

Masayoshi smirked, Well it's a good thing I don't do incantations then isn't it? but he didn't try to finish his circle, for the conversation between attackers just became interesting.

The swordsman sheathed her sword, "This would be the fifth attacker this week."

The gunner made a shuffling sound, possibly nodding, "Though this one didn't attack with magic."

The swordsman was silent then spoke quietly, "Then this one must be the one Evangeline was speaking of."

The gunner didn't move as she spoke, "It can't be, Evangeline said a demon passed through the barrier."

More shuffling from the swordsman's side, "Then they're becoming more desperate."

The gunner laughed, "This can't be a demon, this is the one from the papers isn't it? If it was a demon it wouldn't be stupid enough to make itself known."

The swordsman sighed, "Perhaps… maybe it's just a…" Masayoshi couldn't hear anymore as he finally lapsed into unconsciousness.

Masayoshi sat in a small room tied to a chair, he sweatdropped when he looked over at a table covered in various…torture devices…

Then a door opened behind Masayoshi, he turned his head to see a middle-aged man wearing glasses and an aura of peace. He smiled at Masayoshi and untied him, "Well you're free to go, sorry about all this."

Masayoshi got to his feet and quickly grabbed his quill from the table, "H-how…"

The door opened again this time entered two middle school girls, the first was the girl that confronted him on the train, and the other was a girl Masayoshi never seen before. They didn't smile, "Masayoshi Hitodama of the second exorcist division of Japan, we must speak to you privately."

Negi sighed into his ice cream, "Why do you two always get the most expensive desserts?" He looked over to a giant parfait with extra strawberry ice cream and then to the twins' staring at it with their eyes sparkling.

Fuka took the spoon and grabbed a mouthful and quickly began to scarf it down, "Mm! It's so good!" Fumika sat next to her eying the dessert hungrily, "Onae-chan… don't eat all of it… Negi bought it for the both of us!"

Konoka smiled at the twins, "Fuka loves parfait, but you'll get fat if you eat too much."

Negi took a bite of his soft cream, it tastes good… I wish days like this happened all the time… Konoka laughed, "Negi-kuuun… you have ice cream all over your face…" She wiped it off with a napkin while Negi was flailing around yelling that a teacher shouldn't be treated in such a way.

A man sitting nearby them took a small piece of paper and wrote something down, he got up and walked towards them, I have to put this somewhere… but the man couldn't find a purse. He then noticed a large school bag hanging on the side of one of the twin's chair, he grinned wickedly. He walked past them and brushed the twin, he dropped the paper and it fell into the black bag. He smiled, that curse will get them all. A fitting end… but as soon as that little piece of paper hit a leather-bound black book in the bag it flashed once, then what seemed to be a black wisp of smoke came out and followed the man, the paper burned to nothing. He rounded the corner expecting screams, but when he turned to look back just once his eyes grew wide in surprise as the black wisp became a single flame and flew at him at incredible speeds, it hit him full in the chest and he slowly began to dissolve, he tried to scream, but he couldn't. All he could see was a black void that the flame was revealing, like burning the paper to show what it was concealing, there were…things… reaching out for him, he screamed silently as the fire consumed him completely.

A/N: OK this is my longest chapter concerning fanfiction yet. Well now we're beginning to see a slight plot, someone is obviously after Konoka and Negi. And what's this about Masayoshi being an exorcist? That man in the end? All in good time, which I really do mean, time is getting so scarce, with four hours of free-time in my summer schedule; I'll have about two in my school schedule. That is until winter, when winter comes I'll be on here all day. So review for me friends! I need the help! Bonam Noctem to you all!

Slight Translations/Explanations:

Masayoshi's quill – Well it seems this thing is tougher than it looks! It's magic, so there.

Onae-chan – Big sister, also a title of affection towards older girls you are familiar with. Onee-san is big brother, they sound very similar.

Second Exorcist Division of Japan – A group that my friends and I made in Japan. We're not real exorcists of course, but we study the occult; some for knowledge (Me), and others just because it's interesting.

Bonam Noctem – Latin for goodnight. At the end of every Negima! episode, there would be a pink square with the words Bonam Noctem in it. So I borrowed it… again.
