Chapter 2: The Explanation

"Ma-Maybe it's a trick." Setsuna said nervously, "Maybe they used magic or something..."

"I don't think so…" Konoka gave the photo back, "We'll go talk with Eva-chan later."

"Daddy, let's go to your place. I'm thirsty." said Kanoko.

"But if Asakura finds out, there's gonna be a hug scoop." said Konoka, mimicking Asakura Kazumi's voice.

"I don't think that they mean the dorms." Setsuna covered her mouth.

"Wait, what do you mean?"

Setsuna picked up Setsuki, "Carry Kanoko and I'll show you."

Konoka did as she was told and carried Kanoko. Setsuna led Konoka into a city and into a small apartment building.

"Setsuna-san! You have another job again eh? You're room's down the hall as always."

"Thank you Hayama-san." Setsuna took the keys and led Konoka into the room.

"Set-chan this…"

"I stay here from time to time because of the jobs that I take from you grandfather." Setsuna scratched her head sheepishly while supporting Setsuki in the other arm, "I kinda didn't want you to find out though…"

Konoka nodded, "I see…"

"Daddy, are you gonna call Uncle Negi and Aunt Asuna here again?" asked Kanoko.

Setsuna put Setsuki down, "Setsuki…right?" She nodded "Besides 'Uncle Negi' and 'Aunt Asuna', who do you know?"

"Ghost-san, Akashi-san, Kazu-neechan, Yue-neechan, Izumi-san, Okouchi-san, Kakizaki-san, Kasuga-san, Chacha-neechan, Kugimiya-san, Ku-neechan, Haru-neechan, Sasaki-san, Shiina-san, Tatsumiya-san, Kaede-neechan, Naba-san, Fuka-san, Fumika-san, Hakase-san, Chi-neechan, Eva-baasan, Honya-neechan, Murakami-san, Aya-baasan, Sat-neechan, and Magician-san." Setsuki and Kanoko took turns saying each of the names.

"T-That's everyone in class." said Setsuna.

"Except for Chao." said Konoka.

"Chao? Thought she went back to her time. You told us, silly mommy." giggled Kanoko.

"That would explain why they didn't mention her…" Setsuna bent eye level with the kids, "Is there a reason why you came here?"

Setsuki pulled Kanoko behind her, "You tell us…you…you and mommy left us two years ago."

Setsuna and Konoka's eyes widened, "What are you talking about?"

"No! No no no!" Kanoko shut her eyes tight and put her hands to her ears, "No more talk! No more talk! No more!"

"Kano-chan…"

"Ojou-sama, take care of Kanoko. I need to have a little chat with Setsuki."

Konoka nodded and took Kanoko to a different room.

"I'm not going to ask what happened two years ago…"

"It's ok with me. You can ask, but…Kano-chan…" Setsuki looked worriedly in the direction that Konoka took Kanoko.

"It traumatized her…am I right?"

Setsuki nodded, holding back her tears, "Daddy left…trying to protect us…then mommy left us to Uncle Negi and Aunt Asuna and left to find daddy…they never came back…"

Setsuna held Setsuki as she cried, "It'll be ok…I'm sorry that I asked you…"

"Set-chan?" Konoka looked at Setsuna, "Kanoko-chan is sleeping."

"Setsuki…want to go sleep?" asked Setsuna.

Setsuki nodded as Setsuna carried her to the other room. She placed Setsuki next to Kanoko and covered them with a warm blanket. After she covered them, she left the room quietly.

"Now what to do?"

Konoka hugged Setsuna's arm, causing her to blush, "O-O-Ojou-sama?"

"Set-chan…can we stay like this…for a few minutes?"

Setsuna pulled Konoka closer and sat on the couch, "Are you alright?"

"I…I overheard what happened…After I brought Kanoko-chan to the room, she was already sleeping. I put her on the bed and went back and heard everything that Setsuki-chan said…"

"Everything will be ok…" Setsuna rubbed Konoka's hair, "I won't leave your or the kid's side. Not until everything is resolved…whatever it is."

Konoka looked at Setsuna's eyes, "Don't we have to tell Negi-kun…"

"That we're gonna miss school for today…or about the kids?"

"Both."

"Understood." Setsuna summoned her mini-shiki.

"Yes yes? What is it?"

"I need you to tell Negi-sensei that Ojou-sama and I will miss school for today and give him this note." Setsuna quickly scribbled on a piece of paper and gave it to the small being.

"Ok! Be back soon!" Mini-Setsuna took the note and flew away.

"Set-chan…"

Setsuna looked at Konoka who was starting to doze off.

"Get some sleep." Setsuna laid down on the couch and held Konoka in her arms.

Konoka snuggled closer and went to sleep, Setsuna soon joining her.

"Eh?! What do you mean that this is your daughters Konoka?!"

"I couldn't believe it at first either." Konoka covered her ears, "But now...I think that they really are…"

"Who's the father?" Konoka and Setsuna blushed "No way!"
