Mahou Sensei Negima: Complex Affections
Chapter 6: Mobbed, love rumble!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Ayaka once again awoke rather slowly, replaying the exact same events from the day before, but with out the nagging thoughts of monotony and ways to break out of said rut. After washing her body and turning off the shower, she proceeded to get dressed, opting to wait until after she was through eating to brush her teeth.
Hey, it made sense…
Ayaka looked from Chizuru to Natsumi before shooting Kotaro a glare in return for his continuous insults. After finishing up her meal, Ayaka placed the her dishes on the counter, pointing out that she'd take care of the dishes when she returned from school later that day.
It was her turn after all, and Ayaka Yukihiro would never, ever, even think about slacking off… she was a young lady, after all.
As her roommates started chatting about their activities for after school, Chizuru and Natsumi both indirectly confirmed that Ayaka would be home alone for most of the day, with Chizuru taking Kotaro shopping so that he could help carry groceries home and Natsumi having drama club duties.
Ayaka walked over to where her book bag sat, reaching over to grab the hidden vial filled with, what Eva said was, a love potion, stopping to think things over as she stared at the small bottle.
Is this thing really gonna work?
Do you have anything to lose, Ayaka-chan?
…
…
Good point…
Ayaka placed the vial inside one of the pockets, making sure that it wouldn't be crushed by the other contents of the bag. "And I'm off! I'll see you two at school!" Ayaka announced, making her way to the door amidst questions pertaining to why she was leaving so early again.
"No reason, I just want to get to school early and avoid the rush!" Ayaka thought that excuse up in a hurry, thanking the gods that her roommates both bought it, hook line and sinker.
As Ayaka left the room, she quickly made her way down the hall and to the entryway, getting ready before stepping out into the chill morning air. It was as Ayaka made it to the first crosswalk that she started thinking over the day before, realizing that she did, indeed, have a "love" potion, and that she wasn't too sure as to who she had in mind to attract.
"Okay, if I remember correctly, First; I have to drink this potion…or, was it that I had to give the potion to the other person?"
"No, no! I have to drink it, and then the one I love should be attracted to me even more then usual" she was hoping she was right, deciding that she'd drink the potion during lunch that day and hope for the best.
After making her way to school, Ayaka made it up to the classroom, noticing that Asuna happened to be there before Ayaka, making the blonde just a bit curious as to why. "Well, I didn't expect to see you here, bells" the blonde spoke, the nickname coming more out more friendly then usual, with Asuna's reply less malice-filled then usual.
"So, what's up with you, Ayaka?" Asuna took the initiative, starting up a conversation with the blonde in hopes that there wouldn't be an awkward air around the two girls after the events of yesterday.
"Oh, the usual…getting lost in forests, meeting up with classmates that creep you out to no end…Oh, and did I mention I really, really love this dimension? Because I do!" the blonde's memories of the day before began to resurface.
"Er, uh…okay…" Asuna pulled back, flashing a nervous smile so as to sedate the blonde in front of her, lest the woman fly off the handle and attack or something, given the look she had plastered across her face at the mentioning of dimensions. "Ayaka, are you okay?"
Ayaka pondered that thought for a second or two before responding…
"Not really" she moaned, flopping down onto her desk before going into detail, "after last night, what with getting lost and winding up at Evangeline's place, all I can do to keep from screaming is-"
"You went to Eva's place yesterday? Boy, do I feel sorry for you" Asuna whispered, surprised at Ayaka's response to her words.
"Actually, she's quite the hostess if I do say so myself!" Ayaka didn't know what came over her, to jump to the other girl's defense so quickly having only talked with her the day before-er, okay, the day before AND the day she spent inside the resort.
I wonder if that counts for two days?
Why are we thinking about that at a time like this?
Ayaka decided to leave her thoughts for later as Asuna dropped the last subject, noticing that they were finally getting more company in the form of the sports group and book club group. As the morning went on, the classroom filled to the brink with girls, finally settling down when class started.
As Ayaka looked around the classroom, she noticed that Evangeline was absent, waiting until after her first class to inquire, receiving word that Eva had called in sick, and would be absent for a few days as such.
But, how could she not be feeling well? She looked fine when I left…
Yeah, maybe a little TOO fine, eh, Ayaka?
I-AM-NOT-
Yeah, yeah…listen, tell you what; I'll stop callin' you gay when you prove you aren't, how's that? And you can't be caught looking at Eva's butt anymore, understood?
I-DIDN'T-
Yeah, yeah…I saw you checking her out while you were supposed to be asleep…too bad for you that we're both the same person, huh?
Okay, so…maybe I did…fe-
Feel around? Hah, you were-
Alright, Alright! Enough's enough already!
Ayaka could not believe that she, of all people, was losing to her own mind in the fight for domination…
Elsewhere, at that moment.
"Remember Chachamaru! You cannot, for whatever reason, let Yukihiro near me, or vice versa!" Eva stressed her words. "If she and I kiss, or worse, heaven forbid" Eva shuddered at that thought, although she had an even harder time trying to deduce whether it was because she despised the thought of kissing Ayaka, or that she was excited at the thought, "then we'll both be bound together, in more ways then one, I'm afraid…"
"I understand, mistress" Chachamaru replied, a hint of restraint noticeable only to one who was calm at that moment, something that Eva could not muster at this time. "No one will be allowed inside the resort until after the potion goes its course."
"Good, make sure that you don't allow Ayaka inside here, for both of our sakes" Eva noticed a hint of regret now forming in her stomach, causing her to wonder whether or not she was growing soft through out the years as she made her way down the stairs and to her resort.
Why'd I have to go and do this? I thought it'd be a good joke, but I didn't want it to go this far…
How strong did I make the potion? Wasn't it around one hundred times stronger then normal? Or was that one thousand?
I should have told her that it'll magnify absolutely any feeling of affection, friendliness or admiration until it's a sexual attraction…
Eva walked over to her resort, disappearing and reappearing on top of the tower after only a few seconds passed on by.
Well, at least it'll be safe in…here…Oh, fu-
What if she kisses another girl? Crap, I didn't think of that! I'll just go tell-
Eva grabbed her hair, pulling hard as she realized her fatal error…
I can't tell Chachamaru to keep Yukihiro from kissing anyone now! Double crap!
Eva was now banging her fists on the ground while whining, lowering herself to kicking and screaming like a child who was refused a toy from the supermarket. "Crap, crap! Why me? Why me, dammit!"
Eva gave up after a minute or two, hoping beyond hope that Ayaka would be able to handle herself this day without her, even though Eva still couldn't discern just why she was so worried about the young Yukihiro being kissed by another girl, seeing as it'd probably only have a few hundred years added to her sentence with this curse upon her.
I've lived for so long…so, why is it that I feel like I did when I was following Nagi all those years ago?
She laid out, her eyes and mind making shapes with the clouds as she rested on the hard floor at the top of the tower.
Back at school…
"Okay, almost time for lunch…" Ayaka whispered to herself, checking the clock on the wall before looking down at her book bag. "I wonder if it'll work? Why do I get the feeling that something bad is gonna happen?"
Ayaka listened for the bell, secretly jumping for joy on the inside when she heard it ring, signaling the end of class and the start of lunch. After making her way to a more secluded spot of the school, she popped the stopper at the mouth of the vial, sniffing to see just what its scent was like before condemning herself to drinking the contents.
"Over the lips, passed the gums," she gulped at this point, having taken a whiff of the concoction and discovering that it was odorless, "look out stomach, here it comes!"
She gulped the contents down in milliseconds almost, finishing off the vial and placing it in her bag before cautiously taking a few steps forwards, just to check whether or not it was alcoholic in any way. "Wow, this…isn't as bad as I thought!" Ayaka spoke, a smile actually gracing her lips as she made her way back to her classroom, almost breaking out in a dead run seeing as the potion hadn't killed her.
She stopped just as she reached the door, trying to regain her composure before walking back into the room.
Wait, how long until it takes effect?
Yeah, like you actually believe that the potion will work?
Hey, have some faith in Evangeline! Besides, the girl meant well…
Ayaka tentatively reached for the door, waiting for the moment that her pintsized teacher would come running towards her, admitting his everlasting love for the blonde teenage girl at the doorway.
Her wish, however, wasn't granted…at least, the way she looked at it…
"GAH! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS?" Ayaka burst out, having been tackled by the sports group of 3-A, followed closely by Mana, of all people…
"GAH! Tatsumiya? What-what in the hell is wrong with all of you?" Ayaka pleaded with the girls, prying the wandering hands off her body before running to the other side of the classroom, noticing that the girls at the entryway weren't the only ones acting strangely.
"Don't play hard to get, Ayaka, you know how I hate that…" Mana smirked, narrowing her eyes on the blonde like a lioness stalking its prey. "Come to momma!" the five girls cheered, leaping for Ayaka and missing when the girl ducked and rolled at the last minute.
"What is going on with you guys?" Ayaka was now in the middle of the classroom, her eyes wandering over to the taller girl, Kaede, as said female started to advance on her. "K-Kaede? Do-don't tell me you-"
"I'm kinda interested in seeing just how good you really are, Ayaka…at "all" things that count." the young ninja purred, making Ayaka quiver with fear at just what was in store for her if Kaede had her way.
Ayaka let loose a scream that would shatter eardrums as half the class seemed to dog her wherever she tried going within the room, keeping her wits about her so that she wasn't cornered like some helpless animal. After a few seconds, Negi, Asuna and Kazumi, who'd been absent before, arrived in the classroom to find Ayaka up against the wall with a bevy of female beauties stalking her.
"W-What's going-" Negi looked from Ayaka to the girls that were advancing on her, trying hard to discern what exactly was going on while Ayaka made her way over to hide behind Asuna and Kazumi, who, oddly enough, weren't affected by the potion.
Well, Asuna for obvious reasons…
"What is wrong with you, Ayaka?" Kazumi chuckled, patting the girl on the back.
"T-T-T" Ayaka could barely get a word out of her mouth as she tried desperately to explain. "They're trying to screw me!"
"WHA?" There was a collective sigh among the three sane individuals, although Negi had started to ask Asuna what "screwing" was referring to.
"Come here and be a good girl now, Ayaka!" Mana spoke, whipping out her contract weapons and scaring the crap out of the three new arrivals, who'd dove aside so as to dodge any incoming bullets that would result from Mana's "restrained" violence.
Outside the classroom, Takahata and Shizuna, who'd just returned from monitoring the halls for students trying to skip their lessons, were arriving nearer by the minute.
"It's rather…peaceful today, isn't it, Shizuna?"
Shizuna smiled, glancing around the hall before speaking, "Yes, I must say that it has been calm today…I'm surprised that Negi's class is so quiet-"
Just as Shizuna said "quiet" the hall erupted in screams of terror as Ayaka dashed passed the two adults, with the girls of 3-A close behind and Mana and Kaede both whipping out their own unique skills to corral the blonde girl, who'd ducked into another hall, trying hard to lose her pursuers.
"Why is it that I feel as though there's a good story behind this?" Shizuna spoke, dropping the subject as she went over the possible reasons as to why she heard words such as "You're all mine" and "Let's spend the night together" coming from the mouths of young teenage females, directed at another female of the same age with a sexual nature behind them.
"Well, I guess we could always play mediator for this one as well…" Takahata suggested, to which Shizuna replied with, "I'll need four or five drinks before putting my finger on this new problem…"
The two people turned back around, making haste to the nearest open bar…
Meanwhile, Ayaka had made a break for Evangeline's place, hoping that she'd have the cure for this rather…complex problem of Ayaka's…
The blonde had finally made it to the cottage, just barely ahead of her groupies as she burst inside the cottage and slammed the door shut, praying that the others hadn't seen where she decided to hide. As the young Yukihiro turned around, she came face to face with Chachamaru, who'd come up to see just what was going on before meeting up with Ayaka.
"Please, Chachamaru! You've got to hide me! If they catch me, I'll-I'll-"
Chachamaru pointed at the stairs, "go hide in the mistress's resort, I'll divert your pursuers attention elsewhere."
"Thanks, Chachamaru! You're a life saver!" Ayaka wrapped her arms around the robotic girl before making a dash for the basement, completely missing the wide grin on Chachamaru's face as she disappeared down the stairs.
"Have a fun time with my mistress, Yukihiro…heheheh" Chachamaru started chuckling as the thought of her mistress's reaction came into mind, "Well, this will certainly be "interesting" won't it, mistress?"

A/N: Well, this was a quick update...hmm, this story could always end with AsunaEva...who knows...As for Mana and Kaede, I just had to do that to them...
Anyways... Read and Review!
