Fang Vice Addiction
Chapter Six: Training Days
By Traingham
"One...two...three!" Negi counted as he did push ups in Evangeline's court yard. The vampiress watched him from her seat nearby and frowned when she noticed he was slowing down. If Takamichi was going to recruit the young magister for watch duty during the festival she was going to make him ready. No apprentice under her was going to embarrass her in front of the other magisters.
"Pick up the pace boy!" Evangeline barked out at him making the boy do exactly that. He nodded quickly and started pumping faster until she nodded to tell him that he was going at an acceptable speed. "I want at least one hundred push ups before the next minute, is that understood?"
"Y-yes Master! Forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven." Negi was forming a nice little puddle directly under his forehead while he was progressing. Chachazero and Chamo watched from beside him cheering him on the entire time. Something the vampiress was starting to get annoyed from.
"Would you two be quiet?! That isn't exactly helping him." scolded Evangeline, slamming her right hand on the table. Chamo stayed quiet for the sake of his own life while Chachazero naturally took the bold path and continued her little praise dance.
"You can do it master Negi! Through blood and sweat your greatness shall be realized!" the puppet cheered on. She ended her little dance with an elaborate sword dance that entranced the watching ermine. Needless to say, Evangeline was just about ready to dispose of the twisted puppet for good. She turned to the side when she noticed Chachamaru standing beside her with a tray in her hand.
"Your coffee mistress Mcdowell." the android said with her usual bow.
"Finally." was Evangeline's only response as she snatched the awaiting cup off the tray. She noticed it was a coffee from the Starbooks cafe and regarded Chachamaru with a puzzled expression. "This isn't the home made brew?"
"You and Negi-sensei are on a fast from blood mistress. The homemade brew is made with just that very ingredient."
"Oh...I see." the vampiress replied, her voice holding the slightest hint of disappointment. "That full moon better come soon or I'll drain someone before the fast is over." She looked at the stopwatch in her hand and saw that a minute passed.
"How many have you done Negi?!"
"One hundred and fifty-four master!" Negi replied before going back to counting before he lost track.
"Not bad disciple. Not bad at all." a smirk graced her lips at that moment. "Now stop and get to doing your laps around the courtyard!"
"Yes master!" Negi replied. He quickly got to his feet and ran to the end of the courtyard before starting his laps. Chachamaru watched this with a face of indifference but her thoughts were of a rather different nature. She was worried about how all this strenuous work was going to affect the young teacher's ability to teach.
"Perhaps Negi-sensei should take a break mistress." Chachamaru suggested politely but the vampiress didn't even turn to respond to her words. It was quite clear to the android that she was going to have to repeat herself a little louder. "Perhaps Negi-sensei should take a break!"
Evangeline turned around slowly and asked, "Now why would you suggest that, Chachamaru?"
"Negi-sensei must teach a class in a few minutes."
"He'll have to adapt. I had a conversation with Takamichi yesterday regarding the Campus festival. He intends to recruit Negi so the boy will need all the preparation I have to offer him. If he cannot take it then I doubt he'll be able to accept the responsibility."
"Understood."
"Which reminds me..." Evangeline said before taking a generous sip of her coffee. "You weren't at the cafe yesterday when I came to pick you up. Where were you?" The android had a feeling if she mentioned she was hanging out with Negi there would be some aroused suspicion.
"Feeding the kittens." Chachamaru replied, dead-panned.
"Is that so?" the vampiress quipped not sounding quite convinced. She wasn't exactly oblivious to the gradual changes in Chachamaru, and if she pressed any further on the matter she could have sworn the android just lied to her.
Somebody is beginning to amaze me...
My body is beginning to ache like crazy! I can barely lift my arm to write on the board. Negi thought to himself as he slumped in his chair awaiting his students to pour in to the classroom. He wasn't sure why his master suddenly decided to push their training to such an early time but it was sure to clash with his busy schedule. This was especially true when he needed all the energy possible to deal with his wild students.
"Not good." Negi muttered when Asuna entered the classroom without Konoka. That could only mean that there was nobody to hold back her temper...that wasn't very safe.
"There you go, squirt." Asuna said, approaching the desk rather quickly. She slammed her hand on his desk right beside his face and leaned over until her chin was directly above his head. There was something about meetings like this that he really had to learn to avoid. "I woke up this morning to find you nowhere in sight. Do you mind telling me where you've been?!"
"I just came from Eva-san's house." Negi replied, the fatigue he felt slipping through his words. "I'm sorry for not telling you but I didn't want to wake you." He turned his head slightly so he could look at her. "Were is Konoka?"
Asuna placed a hand on his head and scratched it lightly. "Don't worry about her squirt. I want to know why you're suddenly spending so much time with that wicked girl. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you trying to keep away from her? What you're doing now is the total opposite!"
"I'm in need of more training." Negi replied. Not exactly the truth but then again it wasn't much of a lie either. Asuna regarded him with a skeptic expression after hearing his reply but the sound of the other girls entering the room forced her from going any farther with the conversation. She turned to walk to her seat and caught a glimpse of Evangeline and Chachamaru walking to their seats in the back.
Evangeline is making it a habit to be present in class now. Asuna looked over her shoulder where Negi was composing himself for class and raised an eyebrow suspiciously. I'm beginning to think that something is up. Negi is beginning to act pretty odd himself.
"I don't need Asuna to know about what's really going on." Negi mumbled as he kept his eyes of the red-head's fleeting form. "Life might get even more difficult that way." He took a deep breath to let his mind clear itself and opened one of the drawers of his desk to get some chalk only to have it handed to him when he opened it. He took note of this after blinking a few times and flinched when he saw Chachazero lying on her back inside.
"Does master Negi need any more assistance?" the puppet asked hopefully. Negi glanced at his awaiting class to see if they were growing impatient before turning his attention back to his familiar.
"What are you doing here?!" he snapped at her in a whisper.
"Helping master."
"Just...just stay put alright?" Negi asked of her pleadingly. He seriously didn't need any of this so early in the morning. He already went through Evangeline's exercise regiment and the last thing he needed was to strain himself. When the puppet nodded he closed the drawer shut and turned back to his class.
"Er...good morning class." He greeted all of the girls, lacking his usual morning cheer. "We're going to...ow..." He rubbed his sore shoulder with his hand and flexed it. "We'll just continue on with our lesson in Chapter seven."
The girls brought out their books and turned to the pages for him as he positioned his stool next to the board and stood on it. He placed the chalk in his hand against the board to write when he suddenly noticed how much lower he had to place his hand. "Did I grow an inch?" He thought aloud. After taking some time to think about it he heard Asuna clear her throat and shrugged off the thought.
"Alright then." Negi started off as he got off the stool after he finished writing down some things on the board. "Who wants to read the first sentence?" There was a silence in the class after he asked for a volunteer. Clearly most of the girls were still a little shy when it came to reading so he was just going to have to pick someone himself. His eyes wandered over the rows of students and he was considering picking on Asuna as usual but he saw an arm up in the back row.
"Chachamaru-san?" Negi said in a questioning voice. "You want to read the sentence for us?"
"Yes sensei." the android replied with a slight bow of her head. Negi observed Evangeline steal a glance at her seatmate and turned away quickly when he saw his master turn her attention to him. Unfortunately at this point when their bond was developing so well his chances at avoiding any confrontations with her, even in the confines of the classroom was quite impossible. He could almost feel her conscience tugging at his mind.
"Howard helped, Hailey handle the horses grooming." Chachamaru read aloud in her usual monotonous tone of voice. She bowed her head after reading to show him that she was done reading.
"That was very good Chachamaru!" Negi complimented her with a smile. If it was possible the android would have been blushing in her seat.
Words of praise from sensei. I...enjoy it. thought Chachamaru, glancing over to her mistress to check if her behavior was arousing any suspicion from the tiny vampire. Evangeline rested her chin in her hand with one eye closed as a skeptical expression washed over her face. She looked to Negi and the boy tensed up.
"I'll read the next sentence boya." Evangeline volunteered with a feral grin.
"S-sure."
"The upkeep of the ranch was in top condition." the vampiress read. She looked to Negi expectantly waiting for some sort of response and inwardly frowned when the young magister simply looked back nervously. "Well, aren't you going to praise your student 'sensei'?" she asked rather forcefully.
"I-I'm sorry. Th-that was really good Eva-san!" Negi quickly responded much to Asuna's curiosity. She just couldn't understand what was going on right now. Why did Evangeline read in the first place? She never found it necessary to put any effort in class so why did she feel the need to speak up now?
"I'll read to next sentence." Asuna volunteered to Negi's relief. He took a seat behind his desk, wincing at the soreness he felt in his body and nodded to Asuna for her to continue. After a while he didn't hear anything come out of the red-heads mouth as the fatigue started to get to him. He was beginning to feel weak.
'I need to get some sleep.' Negi looked at Evangeline and Chachamaru. Both of them were looking directly at him. 'Do they notice how tired I look? I must look pathetic then.'
'You sure do disciple.' Evangeline told him telepathically.
'Master?'
'Keep in mind that we are going on with our training tonight so get as much rest as you need before then.'
'Are you serious?'
'Do I look like I'm joking?'
'I don't need this.'
'YES YOU DO! SO DON'T THINK ABOUT SKIPPING OUT ON ME TONIGHT!' The vampiress' voice suddenly took on a frightful commanding tone that sent the young teacher wide-awake. The girls saw Negi jump in his seat with wide eyes and giggled amongst themselves. Chachamaru on the other hand could almost be seen frowning.
"Are you experiencing any difficulty sensei?" Chachamaru asked Negi as he gathered his things in to his bag with the help of Chachazero.
"No...I'm..." Negi took a moment in between his words to yawn. "Just fine Chachamaru." He finished packing his things and Chachazero climbed up his arm to take her place on his shoulder. The look she directed at Chachamaru was pretty possessive. Much like the little puppet was trying to ward her counterpart away from Negi.
"You look very tired, and you still must attend training with the mistress, am I right?"
"Yeah."
"Perhaps you should rest in the house." Chachamaru offered.
"No, that's alright. I don't want to impose or anything." Negi said with a bow.
"Not at all sensei. I believe the mistress was actually considering it."
"What?" he blurted out. "Are you sure the master even mentioned anything like that?!"
"Yes." Chachamaru answered.
"That's kind of unexpected..." Negi fidgeted with his hands awkwardly as he considered taking up the offer but his attention shifted away from Chachamaru when he found Hakase standing at the door. She grinned, looking at Chachamaru and said, "So this is where you've been, Chachamaru."
"Hakase-san?" the android regarded her questionably.
"I was looking all over for you. I didn't realize that you stayed behind to speak with Negi-kun." Hakase approached her and examined her with a sharp eye. "Well, anyway Mcdowell wants me to take a look at you so could you just come with me over to the lab?" She cocked her head to the side when Chachamaru glanced at Negi.
"He could come too if you want."
"I..." Chachamaru looked hesitant as she looked back at Negi for some sort of answer.
"I'll go if you want." He offered with a smile.
"You should be honored!" said Chachazero. "You should not reject the master's offer."
"Chachazero?" Hakase raised an eyebrow at the sight of the puppet sitting on Negi's shoulder. "What is she doing with you Negi-kun? I thought Mcdowell usually kept her around."
"Negi is my new master." Chachazero replied.
"Really...that's weird." the spectacled girl said with a quizzical expression gracing her face.
You've no idea. Negi thought sarcastically, looking aside.
---------------------------
Later at the Lab...
---------------------------
Chachamaru sat at the lab chair nervously under Negi's watchful eye. When they were back at the classroom she believed it to be all right for Negi to tag along but now she felt the total opposite. She couldn't bear to be stripped down and opened up in front of Negi of all people. She didn't care for others to look at her while she was going under the examination process but the young magister was a completely different story.
"Oh, they're going to open her up master!" Chachazero squealed with glee much to Chachamaru's irritation, but what made her feel even more terrible was the fact that Negi laughed at the puppets cuteness. The android wasn't sure what Negi liked in the sadistic little puppet but it was beginning to make her feel pangs of jealousy if such a thing was possible for her.
"Er, settle down Chachazero." Negi ordered the puppet softly as he patted her on the head. The puppet nodded and settled down, leaning against his head affectionately.
"Master?"
"Yes?"
"When are we going to hunt for blood?" Chachazero asked, making Negi feel slightly uncomfortable. That was the last thing he needed to be thinking about. "I'm in the mood to see blood. Red drips of precious blood."
"Um...Chacha-"
"Blood is wonderful. Don't you think?" the puppet cut him off. Negi could feel his fangs begin to pulsate for freedom.
"Let's change the subject, huh?" Negi almost pleaded. The sound of light footsteps turned his attention away from the puppet before she could even begin her conversation with him. Hakase walked in to the lab, changed out of her school uniform and in to some casual clothes and a white lab jacket. She kept it open so her Einstein shirt was visible.
"I'm back." she announced cheerfully, adjusting her glasses. "Sorry if I took a little long changing but I just can't stand working in my uniform." She reached for a pin-like technical instrument on her lab table and asked Chachamaru to bow her head. When the android did as she was told the science prodigy examined the top of Chachamaru's head before gasping in delight when she found what she was looking for and sticking the pin in to her cranium.
"There we go!" Hakase exclaimed as the top of Chachamaru's head slid open to reveal an artificial brain. The girl snatched her lap top off a desk nearby and set it down on the lab table beside Chachamaru. She connected a cable to the drive of the lap top and inserted the other end of the cable in to a slot on the artificial brain before performing a scan.
"So what are you doing Hakase?" Negi asked curiously.
"I'm doing a scan of Chachamaru's database to check for any errors are damaged fragments. If you want you can come closer to observe!" She urged him on excitedly but Negi declined the offer.
"I'm good watching from here."
"Master is much more interested in the real deal!" Chachazero politely added. "Simple circuits and wires don't compare to the beauty of bloody organs and bo-" she stopped in mid-sentence when Negi placed his hand on her head lightly.
"I-I think that's enough." Negi told her calmly, almost gagging from a metal image that popped in his mind. At this point he wasn't sure if he'd be able to get used to his familiar's twisted personality so easily.
"We're done!" Hakase announced, taking the cable out of Chachamaru's database drive. She poked the same spot again with the pin and the android's head slid shut once again. "Now let's do a body check."
"Right now?" Chachamaru asked much to Hakase's puzzlement.
"Yes, right now." she replied with an eyebrow raised. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, however..." Chachamaru's eyes darted to Negi for a second before returning to Hakase and the scientist caught on quickly. Unfortunately Hakase wasn't one to take things very confidentially.
"Don't worry about, Negi watching!" she told Chachamaru with pat on the shoulder.
"But-"
"Trust me."
"...Okay." Chachamaru complied, feeling a little shame as she stripped off her dress shirt, revealing her polished chest. Negi couldn't help giving in to the reflex of turning away but when Hakase giggled at him he turned back to watch just in time to see her press a spot on Chachamaru's chest that caused it to open with a hiss of steam.
This is so embarrassing for me. If my body was capable I probably would have taken the shade of crimson by now. Chachamaru stole a glance at Negi before averting her eyes and closing them. Must Hakase make me do such things in front of sensei? I feel somewhat peeved at her for violating my privacy.
Evangeline's face came to mind...
Did the mistress order this purposely. Did she know that sensei would come along to accompany me?
"Chachamaru, are you okay?" Hakase asked in worry as she observed the android's gears functioning at a faster rate. The amount of energy being built up by the increase of performance was causing the insides to heat up. "Relax, will ya?"
"I...will do what I can." Replied Chachamaru.
Later at Evangeline's residence...
"Were you uncomfortable with me watching?" Negi asked Chachamaru as they both went up the steps to the door.
"...Yes." Chachamaru answered hesitantly.
"I'm sorry." he apologized.
"Don't be sensei." she assured him with a bow of her head. She opened the door and allowed him to walk in before closing the door behind her. "If you wish to rest on the couch before your session with the mistress please do so."
"Are you sure she won't mind?" Negi asked, setting his bag and his staff down.
"I would not have offered unless I was sure sensei." Chachamaru replied as she headed in to the kitchen to start with her duties. The young magister waited for the door to the kitchen to close and sat on the couch, allowing himself to get comfortable.
"I will not allow anyone to disturb you master." Chachazero declared to him. She took her place on the coffee table and stood there staring back at him.
"Th-thanks Chachazero." Negi thanked her as he laid down. He looked up at the ceiling to get his mind off how oddly his familiar was looking at him and gradually began to close his eyes until he was finally asleep. Moments after he was out Chachamaru stepped out of the kitchen and quietly took a seat at the couch across from the one Negi was sleeping on and watched him.
"Don't disturb the master." Chachazero warned her.
"I don't intend to." Chachamaru retorted.
"Then what are you here for?"
"To watch him."
"That's my job." Chachazero snapped at her, pointing one of her blades at her larger counterpart.
"I don't watch him because it is my job."
"Then why?"
"...I don't know." Chachamaru replied before looking to the top of the stair steps when she heard the light step of her mistress. Evangeline's hair was messy from just waking up and her eyes were out of focus. After staring out in to the distance for a few seconds Evangeline looked down at Chachamaru and ordered, "Have some tea ready for me when I'm done with my shower."
"Yes, mistress." Chachamaru replied with a bow. The tiny vampire almost left it at that but she did a double take and set her sights on Negi's sleeping form. Almost instantly her lips curled in to a grin.
"He made himself pretty comfortable don't you think?"
"Sensei was feeling tired from his exercise this morning mistress. It would seem he still has not found a way to deal with his nocturnal nature as of yet."
"He hasn't even gotten past the second stage of his turning." Evangeline giggled. "I'm going to have fun with him with he wakes up." With those last mischievous words she headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
"Very well." Chachamaru stood up from the couch and headed back in to the kitchen. She prepared some of the regular brew in a pot and waited. When it was done she poured it in to a tea pot and prepared the tea set. When she was done she headed out in to the living room again to find Evangeline dressed in her cloak leaning over Negi. The vampiress noticed Chachamaru walking to the table to set down the tray in her hand and stepped away from the boy quickly.
"He looks a lot like his father." Evangeline commented. "When I'm done with him he'll surpass that damn, Nagi." The vampiress nibbled her thumb unconsciously puncturing it and cursed when she realized what she did.
"Do you want a napkin mistress?" Chachamaru asked.
"No, I'm fine." Evangeline quickly replied. "I think my thirst is catching up with me. This fast from blood is starting to make me grow impatient." She looked at Negi sleeping peacefully on her couch and shot a telepathic "alarm" into his mind. Not even a second later Negi awoke from his sleep looking startled and confused.
"M-master?!" he stammered when he saw her looking at him. He quickly sat up properly and straightened himself out for her. "I-I'm sorry master! I guess I must have dozed off. I was feeling pretty tired earlier."
"That's because you still haven't gotten a grasp over your nocturnal nature, boya." Evangeline walked around the table between them to reach him and cupped his chin in her hand. "Open your mouth disciple."
"Alright." Negi complied, doing as she asked of him. He opened his mouth and she took a good look at his teeth. She smiled when she saw how much his fang grew and she patted him on the head.
"You've come a long way since before, boya." Evangeline commented. "By this point I think we can begin calling upon your dark power. It may not be nearly as developed as my own but if we train now you'll blow those other Magisters away."
"What do you mean, other magisters?" Negi asked.
"I'm referring to the others who are coming for the festival Negi. You see I had a talk with Takamichi the other day and it looks like they're planning on using you for the festival."
"Me?"
"Yes you and I'm not going to have my disciple embarrass me by displaying simple arts of light and wind magic." Evangeline accepted the awaiting tea from Chachamaru. "We are going to focus on developing your dark aura. Only then will you be able to manipulate the darkness as I can." Evangeline sipped some tea, frowning slightly at the absence of blood.
"D-dark arts? Isn't it dangerous?"
"Don't be so scared, boya. A vampire should embrace the darkness...which reminds me. Before we do that I'm going to give you a lesson in flying." the vampiress set down her cup. "Are you excited?"
"Y-you mean fly without my staff?!" Negi asked excitedly. "Are you serious?!"
"Don't lose your head over it boy." Evangeline replied, spreading out her cloak to reveal her usual black laced attire for training. She headed to the way outside to the courtyard and stopped at the door to look back at Negi. "Whenever you're ready just come out and meet me."
Negi practically jumped from his seat on the couch and headed off to meet his master. This left Chachazero and Chachamaru alone in the same room which...ahem...wasn't really the best of ideas. Chachamaru looked back at the door before looking back at the tea tray that was resting on the table and took a seat.
"Master seems quite excited to fly." Chachazero observed. "Eva-san looked kind of excited herself. You don't suppose she is taking a lighting to, Master Negi do you?"
"Perhaps she is." Chachamaru replied monotonously before averting her eyes. "...And what of I?"
Evangeline basked in the moonlight and sighed, allowing her fangs to glint from the nocturnal bath. She turned to Negi who seemed to be resonating with the moon vibes as well and clasped her hands together in a pleased gesture. "That's right boya. The time of darkness is our sanctum and it's because of our natural calling to the darkness that we have trouble resting in the evening."
"Was that your reason for being absent to class in the past?" asked Negi.
"Of course not kid." The vampiress replied with an evil smirk. "I just don't see any reason to attend classes. It bores me."
"Oh..." Negi sounded a tad bit disappointed with her answer. "...Does my teaching bore you Master? Because, if you want I can make it m-more interesting for you!"
"Really?" Evangeline asked sounding rather unconvinced. She stare at her still bleeding thumb and sucked on it discreetly. Her eyes wandered over to Negi and she licked her lips. "You wouldn't want to hear what interests me Negi-sensei." A seductive tone was laced with her voice, causing a blush to wash over Negi's face. The tiny vampire approached him and stared in to his eyes with a frightful glow.
"...M-master? Why are you looking at me like that?" the young magister asked nervously.
"Calm down boya. I'm not going to do anything to you. Now, flying is an ability vampires are endowed with, however, tapping in to that ability takes some time. I want you to learn this ability in one night."
"ONE NIGHT?"
"Yes. It came to me quite naturally and since you share my vampiric aura it should come to you just as easily. Now clear your mind!"
"Y-yes master!" Negi replied with a shiver.
"You have to close your eyes, boya!" She nodded her head when Negi closed his eyes for her. "Now concentrate on the wind. Can you do that?"
"How?"
"The same way you're able to conjure the wind element with your staff. Focus on that source of energy."
Negi nodded and concentrated on the feeling. Within a few passing seconds Evangeline to see all the blades of grass in the court yard lean in Negi's direction. The point of the wind energy started to gather at a single point in space; Negi himself.
"That's not bad Negi but if you intend to take off I advise you concentrate harder than that." Evangeline ran her hand over his eyes to open them. "You need to picture yourself in a situation that requires you to take off in an instant."
"...I'll try."
"...How about you let me help you with that?"
"What do you mean?" Negi asked...
...The smirk on Evangeline's face said it all...
"M-m-master! We're kind of HIGH!" Negi screamed, holding on to the vampiress as though she was the only thing keeping him alive, which wasn't quite far from the truth seeing as how it was a long way down. From the point Evangeline had them flying he could see all of Mahora campus. He trembled as he looked in to his master's face and asked, "W-what happens from here?"
"I drop you." Evangeline answered.
There was a silence...
"You drop me?"
"I drop you." she repeated herself.
"You drop me?"
"Exactly."
"And if I die?"
"Then you're incompetent." Evangeline loosed her grip on his waist and smiled.
"P-please don't do this!" Negi pleaded. "I don't think I can do this!" He held on to her tighter making the vampire blush lightly.
"This is the only way you can learn, disciple!" She gripped his hands and pried them of her waist causing him to dangle from her hands. Negi looked down and he almost went hysterical.
"Oh no! Don't-"
She let go...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Evangeline watched him plummet down below and went down after him like a bullet. She kept up with him so he could listen to her and said, "Remember what I told you!"
"OKAY, OKAY!" Negi blinked away the tears in his eyes and closed them.
"Don't close them you idiot! Concentrate!" She looked down and could see the top of the trees becoming visible. "Better hurry, boya!"
"I-I..." He looked down. "AHHHHHHHHHH! I-I'M TRYING!"
The ground started coming in fast!
"OH MY GO-" He suddenly felt Evangeline smash in to him like a bullet and he wasn't falling anymore. At that point he couldn't hold in his tears anymore. "I...I almost died."
"Because you were panicking too much, Disciple." Was Evangeline's only response.
"I guess I'm not cut out for this, Master." Negi told her in a whisper. He voice cracked as he spoke and he rested his head against her.
"Not cut out for this?!" She smacked him across his head. "Don't ever tell me that again, Negi! You're a fellow vampire now and I'm not going to let you get weak on me! Now pull yourself together!"
Y-yes master!" Negi cried out. It was at that point that he realized he had a great view of the campus again. He looked down before looking back at her and shivered involuntarily. "M-ma..."his voice died out in mid-sentence."...ster. What are...you doing?"
"Continuing."
"You're going to drop me again?!"
"Just clear your mind."
"What?!"
"Clear your mind."
"O-OKAY." He whimpered.
"You clear?" She asked.
"W-What?"
"I asked if you were clear!"
"Y-Yeah." Negi began to close his eyes for the drop.
"OPEN YOUR EYES!" Evangeline scolded.
"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!" Negi screamed.
"Let's do this!"
"OKA-"
She dropped him...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
Evangeline watched him plummet below again and smirked.
"I told him it took me a night...I think we'll be doing this all night.""
To be continued...
