Chapter 12
"See you tomorrow, master." Negi said goodbye to Evangeline, looking at her.
"Goodbye." Leona said, waving her hand.
"Ok." Evangeline sighed, Leona and Negi went out the door and left the Evangeline's cabin.
"You are getting more and more disciples, mistress, ke, ke, ke." Chachazero said sitting in one of the dining room furniture.
"I know, it's a pain." Evangeline sighed.
"It seemed to me that you didn't dislike it so much, mistress." Chachamaru said standing next to Chachazero.
"That's because she can let off steam on them like they're boxing bags, ke, ke, ke."
"You two, enough." Evangeline said, still looking at the door without turning to them, with a look in which the pupils of her eyes had shrunk to slits.
"So, can you handle the master's training better?" Negi said looking at Leona as they walked through one of the streets, the sky had already darkened and the only light was coming from streetlights, illuminating the road.
"If you can call it training," Kamo said putting himself on Negi's shoulder. "I'm surprised you can handle it."
"Yes, I can handle it better, although now I understand why when I started training with Evangeline, she said that after her training, I would start to miss the desert lizards." Leona sighed.
"Thank goodness, you handle it better, because I remember that time when Eva started attacking you with those endless attacks, you went flying, she took you and hit you on the sand of the resort until you reached the shore, then, you fell unconscious and a wave took you away, we worry a lot." Kamo said with a drop on his head.
"Don't remind me..." Leona said with a narrow look while Negi put on a nervous expression.
"By the way, are you feeling well after Eva is drinking so much blood from you? Not only when you are training, but also, anytime she want when she feel like it..." Kamo said.
"No need to worry."
"If you are taking it with optimism... I wouldn't be so calm."
"Ah, its ok, Evangeline said I shouldn't worry because I'm young."
"Really?..." Kamo said with a drop on his head, after spending a few minutes talking, they reached the dormitories.
"We have arrived." Negi said stopping in front of it. "See you tomorrow, Leona."
"Yes, goodbye."
"Isn't a beautiful night?" a voice said behind them, Negi and Leona turned around and saw someone who was on top of one of the street lamps, the face couldn't be seen because the person was wearing a cloak with hood.
"Who are you?" Kamo asked, the person let out a chuckle laugh.
"My name is Akuro, my other companions and I have come to take that girl from there." Akuro replied, pointing with his index finger at Leona.
"To me? Can I know the reason?" Leona said, staring at Akuro.
"We have been given that order, I'm sure you know what I'm referring to."
"Tsk, Airon..." Leona murmured.
"Bingo."
"Again... It's always the same... This is already harassment! Don't you have anything better to do?! "Leona said with an expression of anger.
"Actually yes, I do have better things to do than to be looking for you," Akuro said with a shrug. "But unfortunately, I have to waste my precious time for you."
"Forgive me for making you come here," Leona said with an angry vein on the back of her head. "But you can go back to where you came from, because I'm not going to leave."
"I assumed you would say that," Akuro said sitting down at the lamppost. "That's why my companions and I thought of something fun."
"Leona, who is this dude?" Kamo asked, looking at him.
"Apparently it's someone who must have sent the dude who hit me the other time."
"Do you mean when master saved you?" Negi said, Leona nodded.
"That's right, now, I don't want to keep talking," Akuro said looking at them. "That's why..." Akuro snapped his fingers and Konoka appeared unconscious at his side, floating in the air.
"Konoka!" Negi shouted.
"Don't put those faces, she's still alive." Akuro smiled.
"She has nothing to do with this!" Leona said with an expression of anger.
"This is what we are going to do, if you want this girl, you will have to face us, my companions and I will be waiting on an abandoned island near here, if we are defeated, we will give her to you, but if you lose, I guess it's obvious what will happen."Akuro smiled. "Of course, there's also the option that you can come alone if you want, so, what do you say?"
"What if we don't go to that island and save her now?" Leona said putting herself in attack position.
"Then..." Akuro said disappearing and reappearing in front of Leona in a matter of seconds. "It would not be fun." Akuro said hitting her in the stomach and sending her a few meters away from where they were.
"Leona!" Negi shouted, preparing to attack. "Brat, you should calm down, don't do anything you can regret." Akuro said looking at him as Leona got up from the ground.
"You." Leona said with a serious and cold expression as she had her hand in her stomach from the blow.
"Negi!" a voice was heard.
"Asuna!" Negi said seeing that she was coming towards them.
"Hmph." Akuro said disappearing.
"Where is he?!" Kamo said looking around.
"Then we'll be waiting for you," Akuro said, floating in the air. "Oh, by the way, you can go see that vampire of which Airon told us about and tell her to come, while you cry for a while on her skirt, Ha! Ha! Ha!"
"You... What did you said, moron?!" Leona said looking at him with an expression of anger.
"Goodbye." Akuro said, snapping his fingers again, Konoka and he disappeared.
"Negi, what happened?! Because he took Konoka!" Asuna said worriedly.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Leona said looking at her with a shadow in her eyes.
"What?" Asuna said, Negi began to explain what happened.
"It's not your fault, we will go to look for her together." Asuna said.
"You know it is, if he had not come for me, none of this would have happened, I'll go alone, I don't want to involve you anymore than I already have."
"No way! Stop blaming yourself! Also, Konoka is our partner, we will go with you! "Asuna said with a serious look.
"That's it!" Kamo said.
"But-" Leona said nothing more because Asuna was looking at her with a scary look. "Nothing... I haven't said anything."
"We should go see master." Negi said.
"I think we should also tell Setsuna, she can help us and I don't think she'll like it when she finds out they've taken Konoka away." Asuna said.
"Yes, you're right," Kamo said looking at her. "But, how did he take her away?" Kamo said putting a paw on his chin. "Wasn't she with you, ane-san?"
"Yes, but everything happened very fast, he came and disappeared with her." Asuna said crossing her arms.
"When he hit me, I felt as if he electrocuted me, with force lightning, I think he dominates the magic of Electro." Leona said.
"It must be why he's so fast." Kamo said.
"Ok, I'm going to find Setsuna, wait for me here, then we'll go see Eva-chan." Asuna said, the others nodded, a few minutes later, Asuna arrived with Setsuna and they ran to Evangeline's cabin.
"Setsuna, you should calm down, they will not do anything to Konoka until we face them." Asuna said as they went to Evangeline's cabin, since she knew that for Setsuna, Konoka was someone very important.
"Even so... It's my fault, I should have been to protect her, and if something happens to Ojou-sama I will not be able to forgive myself in life!"
"You're not to blame, it's mine, because it's me they want."
"No, it's mine, as a teacher I should have avoided it." Negi said as he ran with them.
"You want to stop blaming yourself! Can I know what this is, an assembly of guilt? "Asuna said with an expression of anger." Those guys are the only culprits here!"
"Well said, ane-san." Kamo said.
"Asuna..." Negi thought.
/Grace of destiny/
"Master!" Negi said, knocking on the door, arriving some time later at Evangeline's cabin.
"Eva-chan! Open the door!" Asuna shouted.
"What if she is sleeping?" Setsuna said.
"Do vampires sleep at this hour?" Kamo said, suddenly, the door opened and saw Chachamaru.
"What happens, Negi-sensei? Did something happen?"
"We want to see master."
"What's wrong, Chachamaru?" Evangeline asked, going to the door. "Ah, it's you, what do you want now?" Evangeline said crossing her arms over her chest. "It already can be something important."
"They have taken Konoka!" Asuna said.
"What?"
/Grace of destiny/
"Then," Evangeline said, sitting on the couch, arms and legs crossed. "You have to face them to get her back."
"Yes." Asuna said, she sat down on one of the chairs in the dining room, like Negi and the others.
"Well, what were my two disciples doing while all this happened?" Evangeline said looking at Negi and Leona with a narrow look.
"Be careful, it can be a trick question, aniki." Kamo whispered to Negi in his ear.
"Ah... We couldn't stop her, master."
"He caught me off guard and before I knew it he had already hit me." Leona said with a look of guilt, Evangeline sighed.
"Can you find the island, Chachamaru?"
"I'll look to see if I can find it, mistress." Chachamaru said, two small antennas came out of the two she already had and she began to process information, then coordinates began to appear on her eyes, after a few minutes, she located the place.
"I've found it, mistress." Chachamaru said in a quiet voice while the two small antennas returned inside the larger ones.
"Good." Evangeline said.
"Really?!" Asuna said surprised. "That was fast!"
"It must be the power of science." Kamo said.
"Then, we can go find her." Leona said, getting up from her chair.
"We are going to look for Ojou-sama!" Setsuna said getting up too, Leona and she were running towards the door but before arriving, something caused both of them to fall to the floor.
"Ow..." Leona said as she got up on the floor and put a hand on her head for the blow, like Setsuna. "What was that?"
"Are you idiots? Do you know where to go? Chachamaru still hasn't told you where the place is, besides, going at this time of night is easier for them to attack you." Evangeline said, looking at them.
"Eva-chan is right, I know you are very worried about Konoka, but we can't rush, Setsuna." Asuna said looking at her.
"Then, who has thrown us to the floor..." Leona said looking at Evangeline. "How did you do it?"
"I'm not called the puppet master for nothing." Evangeline smiled. "I made a thread appear so that you stumbled."
"The best thing is that we leave tomorrow morning." Kamo said, Asuna nodded.
"What do you say?" Asuna said looking at Setsuna and Leona. "As Eva-chan said, if we leave now, it would be better for them to attack us, don't worry Setsuna, they won't do anything to Konoka."
"What do you mean with no? How do you know they woudn't torture her while?" Chachazero said, Setsuna's face went pale at the thought.
"Eva-chan! Please, shut up the sadistic puppet!" Asuna said with an expression of anger.
"What are you going to do then?" Evangeline said looking at Setsuna.
"Don't ignore me!"
"I want to go save her, but you're right, going now would be dangerous," Setsuna said with a serious look. "We'll wait tomorrow."
"Ah... Master" Negi said looking at her.
"What?"
"Can we stay here?"
"What did you said?" Evangeline said, staring at him.
"It's a good idea, if we go to the dormitories, the others might suspect something or follow us." Asuna said.
"No, what do you think this is, a hotel?" Evangeline said crossing her arms over her chest.
"It is so difficult for you to let us stay! You could let us stay here! "Asuna demanded.
"No."
"Mistress."
"No."
"Leona will give you her blood as payment." Kamo said.
"Hey! What am I now, her nocturnal snack? "Leona said raising an eyebrow.
"She already gives her blood when I want." Evangeline said, waving her hand in the air, not caring.
"Then, she will give you more blood than she usually gives you." Kamo said.
"Do you want to stop doing business with my blood?" Leona said, with a vein of anger in the top of her head.
"Please, master." Negi said.
"Tsk, it's okay." Evangeline sighed. "But, only this time, understood?"
"Thanks master!"
"I'll go get the futons for everyone, then." Chachamaru said going to one of the rooms.
"I would make them sleep on the floor, ke, ke, ke." Chachazero said.
"Your hospitality must be legendary, Chachazero." Asuna said looking at her.
"Here you have the futons." Chachamaru said, leaving it, on the floor one on top of the other.
"Thank you, Chachamaru." Asuna said.
"I'm going to sleep," Evangeline said, getting up from the couch. "Don't make too much noise, that goes for you too, Chachazero, Chachamaru you can retire."
"Understood, mistress," Chachamaru said. "If you need something, tell me." Chachamaru said, looking at them and bowing slightly.
"Good evening, master." Negi said, Evangeline waved her hand and went to her room.
/Grace of Destiny/
Everyone had gone to sleep, a few hours later, Leona got up, opened the door and closed it behind her without making noise at all, then she went to flight of stairs that were outside the cabin and sat on one of it, she stayed a few minutes looking at the sky, lost in her thoughts, until she heard a voice coming from behind her.
"What are you doing here?" the voice said, Leona turned around and saw Evangeline with her arms crossed over her chest.
"You." Leona said, looking at her. "The same to you." Leona said, watching as she went down the stairs.
"Well, I'm a vampire." Evangeline said, sitting down beside her. "You can't sleep." she smiled.
"No, I can't." Leona said with an annoyed tone.
"You are worried about Konoka."
"They took her because of me." Leona said with a worried look, then Evangeline hit Leona's head. "Ow! What are you doing?!"
"Stop worrying, if you are my disciple, you shouldn't worry so much about it and instead you should think about how to save her."
"It's easier said than done..." Leona said as she rubbed her head with the hand by the blow.
"You look at the others, even if they're worried, they trust that they will be able to save her, even Setsuna." Evangeline said with a serious look, Leona looked away and they stayed silent for a few minutes.
"Master." Leona said, still looking at the sky, breaking the silence.
"Oh, it is no longer difficult for you to call me master." Evangeline smiled, Leona looked at her with an annoyed look.
"What do you want?"
"Will you come tomorrow too?"
"No, I can't leave because of the curse I have, you'll have to go alone, does it worries you?" Evangeline said with a crooked grin.
"No, I was just asking." Leona said, looking away somewhere else. "Ah, by the way, why are you cursed? It's something I've been wondering about." Leona said looking at her curiously, Evangeline sighed.
"You can ask bouya, I don't feel like talking about it," Evangeline said, getting up. "It's quite late, you should go to sleep and rest, because if not, tomorrow you will not be in condition to go there."
"I suppose you're right," Leona said, getting up. "Ah, master." Leona said before Evangeline went to her room.
"What do you want now?" Evangeline said, turning around.
"Thanks." Leona said looking at her with a sincere look, Evangeline was looking at her for a few seconds and turned around again.
"Hmph, you don't have to thank me anything." Evangeline said opening the door to enter the cabin and went to her room, Leona came in after her and went to sleep.
/Grace of Destiny/
"All right! Let's go save Konoka! "Asuna said raising her fist in the air.
"Yes!" Setsuna said.
"Eva-chan, we're leaving now." Asuna said looking at her.
"Ok, go now." Evangeline said with her hands on her waist.
"Go carefully." Chachamaru said.
"Yes." Negi said.
"Let's go." Leona said, they left Evangeline's house and went to the island that Chachamaru told them.
"We're coming, Konoka." Asuna thought.
