A/N: Oh god… you guys have no idea how much I'm sorry about this lack of uploading… school, my part-time jobs, and enough useless homework for a few decades. But I've done what I could to bring this to you!
Disclaimer: I don't own Negima, however I do own Masayoshi, but I don't own his glasses. He bought those before I even met him. Ah! But I'm not a slave driver! Forget I said anything! Except for the Negima part.

Screwed Up
Masayoshi woke up with his cheek getting pulled on his left side by a still sleeping Fuka. He struggled to get up, but kept falling as Fuka repeatedly tugged on his cheek muttering "Good wan-wan, good wan-wan…mm…"
He finally was able to pull away from Fuka, and hit his head on the desk, he bit his lip as to not yell out, but bit through his lip, drawing blood. He quickly held his breath to not scream out, but felt like having a coughing fit.
He pulled out his book and quickly wrote a spell to rewind time for a limited moment, it went back about twelve seconds and he awoke again. This time pushed himself away from the bed before Fuka grabbed him and stepped up near the door. He sighed in relief and turned around and hit his face full in the door.

Masayoshi sighed when he came out of the changing room, he blushed as that Asukura Kazumi came through the hall and waved, she's not stalking you… just relax Masayoshi, you can always erase her memory… one way or another… he smiled and waved. He checked himself in a mirror, he nodded in approval, he wore a gray t-shirt and a pair of baggy worn jeans. He still had his book bag slung on his left shoulder with his quill hidden in his back pocket. He adjusted his glasses to the bottom of his bridge and kept his small ponytail on tight.
He left the building and plopped down on a bench, he just sort of rested, it was about six o' clock when he left the changing room, he was thinking that it seemed to be so peaceful in the morning. Then he was feeling dreadful as he thought about having to act as guardian to three kids; one a teacher, another is a vampire, the last one is some schoolgirl that he hasn't even seen yet. He sighed remembering that vampire girl's facial expression last night, she's going to kill me…well at least now I can put up a fight… He sighed and set the back of his head on the top of the bench.
He must have fallen asleep because he woke up suddenly when someone flicked his forehead. He jumped up, his right hand reaching for his quill, but stopped short when he seen the face of a certain Chinese girl.
Ku Fei was just walking around when she noticed the boy from the magazine asleep on a bench, of course curiosity took over and she flicked his forehead. When he jumped up she smiled, "I am Ku Fei, you are?"
Masayoshi sighed, he sat back down in relief, "Hi Ku Fei, I'm Masayoshi, nice to meet you." He quickly tried to think of her accent, but just couldn't put his finger on it.
She nodded, "Nice to meet you, can I ask something?"
Masayoshi nodded getting a bit paranoid; every girl on this campus he met so far is out to get him, "Sure fire away."
She asked him in such a sweet voice, "Do you like Martial Arts?"
Masayoshi smiled, he was afraid she was going to ask him something really weird, "Yeah I suppose, but I don't really know how to- " Ku Fei suddenly lunged out, aiming a kick to his face.
Masayoshi tilted his body so his back was in an arc, his back was actually touching the bench, he lost his balance and fell over the bench, but landed on his feet, to any onlookers it would appear he just flipped over the bench. He was expecting the obviously insane girl to try to attack him, but found to his surprise she was laughing. "W-what's so funny?"
Ku Fei bowed, "You're very good, not many people can dodge that."
Masayoshi sweatdropped, "Heh, well…uh…you see you have to understand…"
Ku Fei turned around and talked to him over her shoulder, "I see you around OK? We'll train together one day."
Masayoshi held his hand up to say something, but found that no words could come out of his mouth… he just shook his head and sat back down, Ku Fei…what is the matter with students around here? I bet even if I do use my magic, there wouldn't be a second glance…
He sighed impatiently, as though he was meeting someone. He tapped his foot on the ground and quietly hummed We Will Rock You by Queens, he closed his eyes and laid back, thinking that he should try to at least get some information on Negi, the vampire girl, and that mystery schoolgirl. Then the wind seemed to pick up and he opened his right eye, sensing magic. It's show time!
He kicked off and in a flash his pen was pointed directly at…Negi Springfield's surprised face.
Negi smiled jerkily, "Eh…M-Masayoshi-san?" Negi received a call from the principal about meeting the male student, and try to be on friendly terms with him, so when Negi found him on a bench, he thought he might be able to get along with him.
Masayoshi quickly hid his pen in his back pocket, "Ah! Negi-kun! Um…how are you doing?"
Negi sighed in relief, "I'm fine Masayoshi-san, but uh…what are you doing all by yourself out here?"
Masayoshi laughed embarrassingly, "Well you see, I was just relaxing, this place really takes its toll on me…"
Negi laughed, "I see, I understand. My first day was tough too… but as you start to understand the girls it gets a lot easier."
Masayoshi sighed deeply, "I really really hope so… ah but I'm supposed to look over you! So I'll stick with you for a bit."
Negi took a step back, "W-what do you mean? S-stick with me?"
Masayoshi nodded and adjusted his glasses so the morning light reflected off it, "Oh yes, Negi Springfield… your life is in my hands…"
Negi began to shake, "M-my life?"
Masayoshi began to laugh quietly, he reached out towards the cringing Negi, Negi suddenly felt a strong presence of evil… then Masayoshi grabbed his shoulder, "I'm just kidding Negi-kun!"
Negi-kun pouted, "Please don't do that Masayoshi-san."
Masayoshi laughed, "Heh, don't worry about it Negi, but yeah…I'm serious, you're life really is in my hands though." Negi sweatdropped…

In a nearby café shop Misa Kakizaki, Madoka Kugimiya, and Sakurako Shiina were all eating ice cream under an umbrella-decked table. Misa sighed and leaned back in her chair, causing the two front legs of the chair to rise off the ground, "You know what? You just can't beat a beautiful day like this!"
Sakurako nodded happily, taking another bite of her soft cream, "Yep! This is best weather we've had in a long time!"
Madoka nodded a serious expression on her face, "Right. This is such great weather, so why are we sitting around eating ice cream? Why don't we go swimming, or do something that won't let this day go to waste?"
Misa exhaled sharply, "But ice cream and karaoke sounds great today! Such a wonderful day for singing right?"
Madoka sighed deeply and looked at the street, and then she heard Sakurako gasp to her left, "H-hey look over there!"
Misa immediately looked around to where Sakurako was pointing, and gasped as well, "It's Negi-sensei and that boy!"
Madoka hurriedly grabbed both of her friends who were on the verge of running over to them, "Don't go over there and leave without paying. Negi-sensei isn't going anywhere."
Misa and Sakurako quickly threw down random bills and ran off towards their favorite teacher. Madoka shook her head and put down the correct amount and picked away at the incorrect bills. When she was done she ran over to her fellow cheerleaders and the now embarrassed Negi and the boy standing over to the side running his hand through his hair.
Negi was desperately trying to get the cheerleaders off him, "This is not you should treat a teacher!" He reached out for Masayoshi, hoping he had one part of his heart that wanted to help poor Negi.
Masayoshi sighed thinking just how lucky Negi has it, "M-Masayoshi help me!" Masayoshi stared down and smiled as Negi slowly disappeared under the cheerleaders' adoring hugs. He sighed and turned his head to the side, then oddly seeing a young girl with long black hair running towards Negi with a bag in her hand.
Konoka caught up to Negi drowning under the other girls' adoring embrace, she was about to reach Negi, but Masayoshi stuck a hand out between her and the pile of girls. "Now now miss, Negi is under a bit of pressure at the moment…" He was interrupted by a yelp from Negi, he turned his head slightly to see Negi's cheeks being pulled by the girls, he resumed talking to Konoka, "…yeah… a ton of pressure."
Konoka laughed quietly, "Well Negi-kun always does attract attention." Saying this she leaned toward the pile and called out, "Negi-kuuun… are you there?"
Suddenly one of Negi's arms shot out and grabbed Masayoshi, and with surprising strength pulled him down. Konoka sweatdropped as Masayoshi slowly disappeared into the hell hole.
Konoka, Negi, and Masayoshi walked down an isolated street that led to Mahora Campus. Masayoshi's hair was messy, from his run-in with the girls. Negi was emotionally and physically tired, and Konoka gently wrapped an arm around him keeping him up. Masayoshi rubbed his arm shaking his head, nothing really odd happened today…weird… I'm so worn out… ugh… I wonder what the twins are doing.
Konoka smiled at Masayoshi, "You know, you remind me so much of Settchan. The way you watch over Negi-kun… why are you attending Mahora anyway?"
Masayoshi looked at her confusion etched on his face; she doesn't know what I am? But isn't she…oh shit… realization hit Masayoshi like a physical blow to the gut, he quickly regained his posture, "Eh, well… it's just a bunch of bad luck I guess! My principal was always a little forgetful, so I should have seen this coming…"
Konoka laughed, "Isn't it weird how things turn out? If you were sent to the right school, you wouldn't have met everyone you've met so far!" Masayoshi sweatdropped as he thought about those 'moments' he's shared with the other students, he sighed and slumped.
Konoka yawned, "I'm sorry Masayoshi, I must be boring you… well I guess I should take Negi-kun home before he collapses." She smiled down at Negi, "I'll see you later Masayoshi-kun!"
Masayoshi nodded and leaned on the gate sighing, he flipped through his book, Oh what a day… it'll be like this all the time too… Suddenly someone appeared in an incredible entrance, a young woman decked out in a black cloakwith a complimentary hood that just screams evil, I'm so tired I'm seeing things… he looked over to his right with a blank expression on his face, staring at the girl with his eyelids half open. He yawned and began to head towards campus.
The girl sweatdropped, "H-hey! You're not supposed to go home! You're supposed to fight me!"
Masayoshi turned his head and blinked, "You're serious? But I have to get a full night's rest…"
The girl began to shake with anger, "Do you think I care? Fight me if you can, Hell's Fire!"
Masayoshi smiled, "As you wish."

A/N: Oh man, I just thought up of a plot twist like no other! I can't tell you until next time, or the time after the next. I really don't know what I was thinking while writing this chapter, but I must have been in some serious turmoil or under some heavy prescription. Well I'll try to update sooner so I'll see you all around! Review if you will! Bonam Noctem!
Slight Translations/Explanations:
Hell's Fire – Masayoshi's… well we'll see next chapter, possibly!
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…forever.
