A/N: Hello again. I'm very happy I got a review for Eva's fic! Since The Shiny Sword and Spotstar guessed correctly on chappie 3's fic, both will make a guest appearance in Kuu's fic today. I guess this is part of a mini-contest I decided on today!: I will put a clue for the next fic, and whoever guesses correctly first with a small number of details will make a guest appearance in their chapter. (How clever! How witty!)
And so, with that, he comes chapter three! Enjoy! (It might be kind of short, gomen nasai…)
Also, thanks Spanner for the constructive criticism. The blackmail thing was silly; I admit…just really stupid… -sigh- But you'll see that maybe like, one or two girls will be really good at writing, but some people just suck horribly. Maybe next chapter I'll respond to reviews… (5 already! Wow!)
Note that most of the title names are in basic Japanese. Eva's chapter translation was "I am the Dark Evangel!"
Negima is not mine, but Akamatsu-sensei's.
III. Aruyo! Kuu's Fic
Kuu Fei, one of the two Chinese students in 3-A, was thrilled to be picked.
Kuu was one of the Baka Rangers, the play on some cartoon in America called the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, whatever they were. She was Baka Yellow, along with Bakas Blue, Black, Pink and Red. She was a Baka Ranger because her grades were poor, but she was still learning Japanese, much less Chinese.
Still, it was an honor to her to be representing 3-A in her fic, even if she was Baka Yellow.
Kuu was not the type of girl to brag, but she couldn't help bragging a little when she saw the faces when she was selected. Half of the girls, including Makie, were particularly annoyed to find out Kuu won for that week. No, wait, replace "including" with "including a totally angry Makie."
She decided to start bragging with Satomi.
"Soo, Hakase, guess who writes this week's fic, aru?" She taunted to the girl who was typing on her laptop during a break.
"You."
"Uh…right, aru! But guess who didn't, aruyo?" Kuu was a little taken aback at her response, but continued undaunted.
"Everyone except you," Satomi replied.
Kuu's face fell. Satomi was clearly the perfect image of a person who knew how to respond to bragging quickly. She had to resort to confusion, which was her last tactic.
"Ha, ha, ha! Burned, aru!"
Now Satomi looked up, confused. This was what Kuu was waiting for! "'Burned'?"
Kuu shrugged. "I dunno, aru. Some weird saying in America."(1)
Satomi nodded, then went back to her laptop.
Kuu silently laughed to herself. Unbeknownst to Hakase Satomi, she had just been bragged at!
Japanese girls are so foolish, Kuu thought proudly. She fell for my bragging trick!
Poor Kuu. Obviously she didn't know how to brag.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Kuu began her fic immediately when she got to her dorm room, where Haruna, Yue, and Nodoka were already there, discussing the possible ways Nodoka could confess her love to Negi. Well, not immediately. More like, eventually.
"Yo! What's everybody doing, aru?" Kuu asked as she closed the door behind her.
"We're discussing how Nodoka can confess to Negi-sensei," Yue informed her nonchalantly, as though people discussed this daily over breakfast.
"Cool, aruyo." Kuu plopped herself down next to Nodoka, who gave her a scared smile back. Nodoka didn't really want to press into the subject any longer, so she brought up a different topic.
"Say, Kuu-san, what are you going to write for the fanfiction project?" Nodoka asked.
Kuu sighed, and it was obvious she hadn't thought of anything yet. "I'm not sure, Nodoka-chan. Maybe something to do with the Baka Rangers, or something…"
Suddenly Haruna got a mysterious glint in her eyes, and only Yue noticed it. That glint meant Haruna was going to be up to no good, and it probably involved their Chinese roommate.
"Kuu Fei…hey…I just got this wonderful idea!"
Kuu looked up, happy to be given an idea. "What, aru? What is it?"
Haruna evilly leaned over the table and whispered something that made Kuu's brown-skinned face turn a little green. "Uh…I dunno if I can write that, aru…"
Haruna settled back in her seat and just said, "Don't worry, my Chinese martial artist friend! Negi-sensei won't mind a bit. In fact…I hear he looks at that every day."
Kuu gasped, then shook her head. "No way, aru! Negi-kun is only ten! Maybe an older boy, but not him…"
Yue groaned. Leave it to Paru to infect Kuu's mind with ecchi and hentai thoughts, and then claim Negi looked at those things. Nodoka, of course, with her childish and innocent mind, had no idea what Kuu, Haruna and Yue were looking all dreadful at.
"Trust me, he does." Haruna nodded sagely. "Just don't bring it up, or Negi-sensei might be expelled!"
"Poor Negi-kun!" Kuu sympathized. "He needs a motherly figure, like Chizuru-san, aru…"
"Anyway." Yue interrupted, getting fed up with Nodoka's innocent face asking, "What are they talking about?" "So, Kuu, what have you decided on writing?"
Kuu shrugged. "Like I said, aru, something about the Baka Rangers."
"That means Yue gets to be in your story!" Nodoka exclaimed, relieved to get off the odd subject before. "She's Baka Black, right?"
Yue nodded. "Yeah. You could write about our adventures as the Mighty Morphing Baka Rangers. Me, Asuna-san, Kaede-san, Makie-san, and you."
"Like the Power Rangers?" Kuu asked.
Yue looked blankly at Kuu. "Who?"
"Never mind."
"Anyway, even though it's only Monday, I suggest you better get started on the fic," Yue said brusquely. "You never know what's going to go on in the week, Kuu. Don't leave it to the last minute.
Kuu nodded. "Hai."
So then, Haruna let Kuu borrow her laptop. As she opened up the word processor, she noticed that a great number of fics had titles like "A Moment in Love" and "Deep Passion." Out of curiosity, she opened up one called "Joy and Heartbreak", and read the summary:
Summary for Joy and Heartbreak: When Ryouma steals Nori's boyfriend, Nori is determined to get back at the girl with somewhat strange actions. Shoujoai, NorixRyouma
Shoujoai…girl x girl pairing…what kind of mind does Haruna-san have, aruyo!? Kuu wondered. This girl has a very perverted mind, aru…
Deciding to try to ignore this crazy piece of work, Kuu began typing her story:
Mahora Sentai Mighty Morphing Baka Rangers!
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Once upon a time, there was a team of sentai rangers. But they weren't just any rangers.
They were the Baka Rangers!
The leader was Baka Black, who was a bookworm by day, Baka Ranger by night.
Then there was Baka Blue, who was a ninja both day and night!
Baka Yellow (that's me!) was a Chinese martial artist during the day and night, plus a Baka Ranger.
Baka Pink was also a schoolgirl by day, but a Baka Ranger by night.
Baka Red was a Baka Ranger day and night.
So one day, they were hanging around the Baka Cave, where the superheroes hung around on Saturdays.
Baka Pink: I'm bored!
Baka Black: Shut it, Pink.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Kuu smiled proudly at her work. She was quite impressed she could write such detailed story, and everyone was such in character! And she could easily pull off people writing in script form!
Oh, aru…I can't believe I'm so good at fanfiction, aruyo! Kuu swooned silently to herself, happy that she liked how the fic was turning out so far. Sugoi!
She was so happy she went off for some Chinese food; perhaps some egg rolls or fortune cookies. But then she stopped herself. We don't have fortune cookies in China! She suddenly realized. Only that crazy country America does.
Then, perhaps some fish instead!
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
So it just happened to be the night before the fic was due and Kuu had ONLY written what she had written the previous Tuesday. When she complained to Yue, the only thing she could say was, "Well, I told you before, didn't I?" and sip her juice box.
"Well, I bet you would leave it till the last minute!" Kuu accused.
"That's true, I probably would. On the other hand, I would work on it every night a little bit and work on it a lot when I have free time," Yue said wisely.
Kuu felt like a deflated balloon. Of course Yue would do it like that! She's Yue!
So, Kuu pulled up Haruna's laptop and opened "Mahora Sentai Mighty Morphing Baka Rangers", while staring at the almost blank screen. She had been struck with a disease called "Writer's Block." (A/N: Most people have Writer's Block, ne?)
"Nodoka, aru," Kuu called helplessly to Nodoka, who was quietly reading a book, "I can't think of anything to write."
Nodoka looked up from her book. "Well, maybe, Kuu-san, you should make people you know into fictional characters. Like, for instance, in real life I'm just me, right? But in a story, perhaps I'm a princess of a kingdom or I'm a lion tamer, you know?"
Kuu was beginning to understand. "Oh, like I could be the best Kung Fu master in all of Asia?"
Nodoka nodded. "Exactly."
Kuu had suddenly got an inspiration for her story. Smiling, she began typing away on the laptop, absorbed in her great idea
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
It was possibly the oddest Tuesday of Chisame's life. Well, at least, the evening started out weird on Monday.
First and foremost, the computer was acting wonky, irritating Chisame and interrupting Chiu's new line of photos. What had happened was that the computer was not accepting the new cosplay photos Chisame was going to put on her Net Idol's homepage.
Secondly, she had given up and went to bed. However…she wasn't tired. As long as she could remember, Chisame was always sleepy when she went to bed. She tossed and turned all night, and she was pretty disgruntled about it.
And the next and final queer thing happened in the early morning when Chisame had finally dozed off. There was shuffling noises coming from her door, but she just decided it was a lost cat and went back to bed. But then there was a creak of the door, then a soft noise of it closing, so she lifted her tired head to see nothing was there.
Chisame assumed it was her imagination and fell back into dreamland, but then a horribly familiar voice whispered loudly, "Ohayou Chisame-chan, aruka."
Her orange-colored eyes snapped open to see Kuu's smiling face leaning over her's.
"GYAAA!!!"
Chisame literally fell out of bed and onto the floor in fright, panic, surprise and anger altogether. Kuu, however, thought that Chisame was so happy to see her she fell out of bed, and greeted Chisame's panicked face with a smile.
"Good morning, Chi-chan aru! How was your sleep, aruyo?"
Chisame was baffled by her behavior. It appears this girl's weirdness level has been taken to another level, she thought. "F-fine…"
Kuu's smile grew. "Great! Well, I knew I'd forget if I gave it to you in homeroom, Chi-chan, so I brought it to you before my morning exercise!" The Chinese girl brandished a Floppy Disc at the half-asleep girl on the floor.
"Uh…thanks. Uh…could you help me up, Fei?"
Kuu nodded gleefully, and helped Chisame up. She gave Chisame the Floppy Disc and then, with a wave, ran out of the dorm, leaving a annoyed yet wide-awake girl behind.
I might as well upload Fei-freak's story, now that I'm awake, Chisame thought, rummaging around for her glasses. She found them and booted up her computer. Soon enough she had logged in and was just beginning to edit it as she read.
Mahora Sentai Mighty Morphing Baka Rangers
By Kuu Fei, 3-A
Once upon a time, there was a team of sentai rangers. But they weren't just any rangers.
They were the Baka Rangers!
The leader was Baka Black, who was a bookworm by day, Baka Ranger by night.
Then there was Baka Blue, who was a ninja both day and night!
Baka Yellow (that's me!) was a Chinese martial artist during the day and night, plus a Baka Ranger.
Baka Pink was also a schoolgirl by day, but a Baka Ranger by night.
Baka Red was a Baka Ranger day and night.
So one day, they were hanging around the Baka Cave, where the superheroes hung around on Saturdays.
Baka Pink: I'm bored!
Baka Black: Shut it, Pink.
Baka PinK: HEY YOU CAN'T TREAT ME LIKE THAT! (angry)
Before they could argue any longer, their chief appeared on the huge screen TV, interrupting Baka Red's program.
Chief Nodoka: Hi! There's something going on with the evil Lords Chao and Hakase/ please help.
Baka Blue: (gasp) De gozarou?!
Baka Yellow: I WILL DEFEAT LORD CHAO AND HAKASE! IF MY NAME ISN'T –
Baka Black: -- The Mahora Sentai Mighty Morphing Power Rangers! I mean, Baka Rangers! Let's go!
All of them fly off.
TO BE CONTINUED…0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Chisame was aghast. This was even more pointless and boring then the Caucasian's! The story was horrifically short (no offense to good short chapters out there!) and there was bad punctuation, and the "k" in "pink" was capitalized!
And to cap it all, a reference to America's Mighty Morphing Power Rangers? Give me a break! Chisame thought.
So, she edited all the trash and posted it on the Internet, and hoped the next fic writer was going to be a little better.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
At school, Kuu had been informed her story had been put up. So, during lunch, Kuu went into the computer lab and checked out her wonderful story. Chisame-chan did a wonderful job editing, aruka! Kuu thought. She checked the reviews and found three. Just like Eva-chan! She thought to herself.
Reviews for Mahora Sentai Mighty Morphing Baka Rangers:
The Shiny Sword said, "cool. can't wait to see future chappies. Write more!"
(Kuu smiled at this. This person said her writing was cool!)
Spotstar said, "It was okay. Make chapters longer, maybe I'll read more."
(Since this Spotstar said that her fic was okay, she wanted more reviews from this person then. She vowed to make her next chapter longer!)
Sink said, "Whoa. I thought McDowell's fic was bad, but yours takes the cake. It plainly sucks. WRITE BETTER."
(Kuu was immediately discouraged by Sink's review, but decided to make them better!)
So, Kuu was very proud of her work and hoped to get a lot more inspiration!
But for now, some Chinese food.
A/N: Nyaa, so Kuu's fic is done, done, DONE! This took an impossibly long time and I'm SORRY!! But I'm impressed that I've gotten eight reviews! WHOAMG!
(1) Kinda quoted from Ms. Envy's Minto's Night with Kisshu-kun!!
Soo…Confessions of a Teenage Martian Mage is on Hiatus, eh? I guess I'll keep truckin' along with till its done, then I'll complete other things…yeah. Remember the contest I blabbed on about earlier? Well, I'll kick it off with this week's contest. If you're, oh say, familiar with you Negima Character CDs, you'll know this easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Next time: Imasugu, suki ni natte mo e- yo! "COPIPE" (copy-and-paste) de SMILE, kaomoji de FINISH!
