On the date of September --, 20--; Master Masa Random suffered a death from overwork, stress, and lack of rocky road ice cream, we will always remember him as a devoted friend, a decent writer, a person that makes those around him want to laugh. Let us now have a moment of silence to remember the man we've never seen.

Ok I made this a couple of days ago and I was planning on putting this on the end of my unfinished stories so that I could fake my death, but seriously, who would believe this? Yeah I'm weird. But I just love making this so don't think I'm going to give up on this quite yet! Here's the next chapter everybody! Oh yeah, I don't own Negima, oh woe is me!

Screwed Up

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."

The girl smirked as Masayoshi turned his entire body toward her, "You think you can just beat me? Even by some miraculous chance you beat me, you'll have to face the rest of us!" She spread her hands out wide and suddenly the air warped, and perhaps half a dozen figures in similar clothing appeared.

Masayoshi tilted his head to the right and tried to calculate the odds, "You know this is kind of one-sided…"

The girl threw her head back and laughed, her pink hued hair hovering in the air, "Of course fool! You think I would take it easy on you? Prepare to feel my wrath!" She stuck her hand out above her head, and with a triumphant smile on he face she swung it forward, similar to a general giving her troops the "ok".

Masayoshi realized then that the figures where not actual people, but magical beings created by the girl's magic. He clicked his heels together and nimbly dodged the cloak wearing manifestations. When all of them began to circle around him, trying to surround and close him in, he smiled. Masayoshi slowly took his quill out of his pocket and held it to his lips, he blew on the feather and a dust began to envelope him and the surrounding minions.

The girl took a step back, she towards her sash and pulled out a wooden wand, she squinted into the purple haze that obscured her vision. She clenched her teeth when the haze spread completely covering the area. She took a step forward, but stopped suddenly when she heard a "poof" sound. She quickly began to cower as the sounds became louder, from within the haze she could see shadows, dark shapes moving just out of her sight, she tried to summon more help, but found to her dismay that when she tried to speak all that came out was a terrified squeak.

Masayoshi appeared behind her and put his quill on the back of her neck; she froze and dropped her wand. Masayoshi laughed quietly, "I told you it was one-sided. Next time maybe you'll take me seriously…" Before he could do anything the girl fainted and landed forward, her head hitting the ground with an unpleasant thud.

Masayoshi cringed and sighed as the haze slowly began to dissipate, he pocketed his pen and stared at the girl for a few moments. He shrugged and picked her up, not to roughly, and carried her to the school.

He reached the principal's office in good time and to his surprise nobody was around, he couldn't use his hands to knock on the door so he violently kicked it, since the battle was over he didn't have to keep his cool. The door opened and to his surprise was greeted not by Konoemon, but the same middle-aged teacher with that funny aura of peace.

Takahata smiled gently at the boy, and then to the unconscious girl in his hands, "I see that you've captured a threat. Come in Masayoshi."

Masayoshi suddenly felt very dizzy, he smiled damn… I completely exhausted my magic today… which probably means I'm about to… Masayoshi teetered dangerously then fell backwards, the full weight of the girl crushing his ribs, the hard floor hitting his head forcefully. Ow.

Masayoshi sat up so suddenly he hit his head on the top of a bunk, cursing he tried to scramble out of the bed, and lost his balance and nearly broke his neck as he fell on his head on the floor. He flipped over and landed on his knees, after wincing in pain he sat up. He stood to his full height and looked back at the bunk, his eyes widening until it appeared that his eyes were covering his face, in the bottom bunk, was a slumbering Fuka. She was smiling while hugging a pillow, her pink hair spread across the blankets and one leg hanging off the edge. Masayoshi quickly looked down at himself and found he was wearing a pair of very comfortable pajamas, they were black, possibly velvet, over his chest was an emblem with the letters MH in intricate yet beautiful text.

He sighed in relief and looked at the clock, 8:00 am; he nodded and quickly grabbed his book and quill and ran out and into a nearby bathroom. He left moments later wearing the black gakuran he wore on the first day, he looked out the window and rubbed the back of his head wincing as his hand came upon a slight bump, so what happened last night wasn't a dream… he turned to the exit and ran off towards the principal's building, though he was unexpectedly interrupted by an odd girl.

Kaede stopped as the unknown figure came into view, she just returned from the mountains this morning and was about to head back to the twins' room and catch a quick nap, but oh and behold, a surprise guest appears…

Masayoshi stopped about two feet from her, no point in repeating one of yesterday's moment, "Uh… hi there! I'm Masayoshi; I'm just passing through miss."

"I'm Kaede, nice to meet you Masayoshi-san." She gave him a small smile and tilted her head, "Are you the one on the magazine de gozaru?"

He took a step back, Masayoshi laughed a somewhat frightened laugh, "N-no! Of course not! I'm just a traveler passing by, no need to worry!"

Kaede nodded, "OK Masayoshi, May our paths one day cross again." She went towards a different building and Masayoshi stared at her carefully, That one is just odd… kind of cool, but odd… just like every other frigging girl here… he shook his head, laughed at himself and ran off towards his original destination, when he entered the room, he found that there was absolutely nobody around. He sat down at a chair and awaited the old man.

In some hidden room somewhere in the school, the black-robed girl sat impatiently on a stool as three magic-users on the school's paycheck stood around her. Outside of that room Takahata-sensei and Konoemon were deep in discussion…

Konoemon nodded, his brows furrowed, "I see I see… a very difficult decision indeed…"

Takahata nodded as well, a slight smile on his lips, "It is a difficult decision, but there's no need for you to decide, we can do this on our own..."

The principal shook his head as he stood up and stared out the window, "I'm afraid not, something of this importance demands my absolute skills and my years of training…"

Takahata sighed sweatdropping, "You know…we can decide what to order on the pizza on our own…"

The dean of the school shook his head impatiently, "No! You all always order the worst combinations! I'll pick a great one!"

Takahata laughed, "OK, you can pick, but what should we do with this girl?" he tilted his head to the other room."

Konoemon sat back down, "She doesn't know much, but it appears there is more than one group involved…"

The teacher leaned on his chair pulling out a cigarette, "More than one? We may need to hire more help if that's the case…" he looked up at the ceiling for a moment, "…this Masayoshi boy, he's not here just to protect the students is he?"

The principal sighed, "He is the infamous Hell's Fire… he thinks we don't know, so we shall keep it like that… but no, he is not only here to protect the students… I want this all to end now… and I believe I know just the plan to be rid of this threat…"

You know… this may appear to be a jumbled mess of a chapter…but there's a logical explanation for that… it's because this is, in fact, a jumbled mess of a chapter. But this jumbled mess will soon clear up, like a puzzle; it all comes together… so Jennon- Donnen, I expect you to point out my mistakes so I won't do them in the future, True Serac, I have a surprise for you in one of the future chapters, I thank you both very much for your reviews! I also thank Saraton, whose review gave me the final push in dorm decisions, thank you to you all, and I hope you remain by my side for the rest of this screwed up fanfiction.

Slight Translations/Explanations:

De gozaru – ever wonder why Kaede says this? Back in feudal Japan this was a way people talked. So Kaede, being a ninja, talks in this fashion, of course the equivalent of this would be like talking like a colonial peasant for any of you American readers.

Hell's Fire – Masayoshi's… well we'll see one day right?

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 and ever.
