"W-Wait up," Nabushi said gathering his things and running after the girl. Negi was watching this and smiling. "Seems like Chachamaru-san found him," Negi said smiling. Dark paid no attention to what Negi said since he was in deep conversation/argument about anime and anime couples with Haruna. Nodoka was looking at Negi and blushing and Yue was drinking her juice like she always is. "I think we should head to bed. It's getting late," Negi said getting Darks and Harunas attention. "I guess your right," Dark said as he headed over to their table to pick up his stuff. Negi did the same. They then started to head towards the exit with Yue, Nodoka and Haruna.
END RECAP
Chapter 2
Negi woke up with a low yawn. He slowly opened his eyes and looked next to himself only to see Miyazaki Nodoka sleeping peacefully next to him. Negi quickly sat up with wide eyes. He was still on the floor where his temporary bed had been set the night before.
'What is she doing sleeping in my bed?' Negi though with a slight panic.
Negi slowly and quietly started to get up from the bed. When he was almost off the bed he felt something wrap around his left leg. He looked down and saw that Nodoka had wrapped her arms around his leg and was hugging it tightly.
'This is going to be a problem,' Negi thought to himself while trying to think of a was out of his situation.
In Darks, Harunas and Kuu Feis room
Dark was sitting in a corner with his back towards the wall and his eyes closed. His visible eye was black this time. He slowly started to open his eye only to soon place his left hand over his visible eye because of the slight pain that was still present in it. He still clearly remembered what had happened the night before.
Flashback start
"We're here Sensei," Haruna said happily standing next to hers and Kuu Feis rooms door.
"Shall we go in," Dark said smiling reaching for the doorknob.
As soon he opened the door he was send to the opposite wall by Kuu Feis foot that connected with his face.
"What the hell are you doing, Kuu Fei?!" Haruna asked shocked.
Kuu Fei looked at Haruna confused until she looked towards the person she had kicked only see Dark with his hand over his visible eye.
"Gomen sensei. I thought you were someone else; aru," Kuu Fei said with worried tone.
Dark got up slowly still keeping his visible eye hidden.
"Are you okay, sensei?" Haruna asked worried.
"Yeah. I'll be alright," Dark replied removing his hand revealing a black eye.
End flashback
Dark sighed as he started to get up from the spot he had been meditating the entire night. He then started to head towards the kitchen while stretching.
At Evangeline's place
Nabushi yawned and stretched in his bed in the room Eva had given him. When Nabushi had arrived to the cottage he had noticed right away why Eva lived alone there with Chachamaru.
'So, she's a vampire. Works for me,' Nabushi thought to himself with a smile.
Ufuru was sleeping peacefully in a basket that was at the end of his bed. Nabushi reached under his bed and pulled out a scroll. He opened the scroll revealing several storage seals inside. He unsealed a bottle from one of the seals and drank the condense swiftly. He then sealed the bottle back into the scroll and hid it under his bed. He then got out of bed and started to get dressed. As he was pulling his t-shirt on he heard a knock on the door.
"It's open," He said pulling the t-shirt on.
The door opened revealing Chachamaru in a maids outfit carrying a tray full of food.
"Morning Chachamaru. What is it?" Nabushi asked looking at the young robot.
"Breakfast," Chachamaru replied with her usual tone lifting the tray a bit.
"You can put it to the bed," Nabushi said while starting to brush his hair.
Chachamaru placed the tray to the bed and left the room closing the door. Ufuru jumped to the bed and looked at the food that was on it.
"Wow. Chachamaru really put her cooking skill into making this," Ufuru said while eying the food on the tray.
Nabushi finished brushing his hair and looked at the tray. He was soon drooling at what he saw. He waisted no time to start to eat.
Back at Negi's, Nodoka's and Yue's room
'Man, I'm in a real pickle here,' Negi thought to himself still having Nodokas arms around his left leg. 'Maybe I should ask aniki for help,' he thought while closing his eye.
With Dark
"Aniki, you awake," said a voice in Darks head.
"Yeah, I'm awake Negi. What is it?" Dark replied inside his mind.
"You remember student #27 Miyazaki Nodoka right?" came Negi's voice in Darks mind.
"Yeah. What about her?" Dark asked confused.
"Well when I woke up this morning she was sleeping next to me. And when I was almost out of bed she wrapped her arms around my leg and now I can't move without waking her up... And I don't want to do that," Negi explained.
"Let me guess. She looks cute when she sleeps," Dark replied.
"Yes. Really cute," came Negis embarrassed voice.
Negi could hear Dark laugh inside his mind.
"It's not funny. What should I do?" Negi asked worried.
"Just hold on a bit longer," Dark replied and after that he fell silent.
While Dark had been having telepathic conversation with his brother he had also been cooking breakfast. It had also given him an idea. After a while of cooking he noticed that Haruna and Kuu Fei had started to wake up from the smell.
"Something smells good; aru," Kuu Fei said getting out of her bed.
"I agree," Haruna said as she started to walk towards the kitchen.
"So, you two are finally awake," Dark said while looking through the fridge and cabins.
"Dark-sensei? What are you doing?" Haruna asked.
"Isn't it obvious. Cooking breakfast," Dark replied taking out a can of tuna.
"Isn't that our job; aru?" Kuu Fei asked.
"Well I was awake so I decided to make it. By the way, I was thinking of calling Negi, Yue and Nodoka to eat too. Could you get them Haruna?" Dark said while flipping some pancakes with one hand and baking bacon with the other.
"Uh... Sure," Haruna said and headed towards a poster that hid a human sized hole between her and Nodoka's rooms.
With Negi
Nodoka still had her arms tightly around Negis leg. Negi was getting desperate until he suddenly head paper moving and looked at a poster hanging on one of the walls. After few seconds Haruna stepped through the hole that was behind the poster. When she saw the predicament Negi was in she had hard time trying not to laugh.
"Stop laughing and help me," Negi said with a low voice.
Haruna then walked over to Negi and Nodoka and started to shake Nodoka to wake her up.
"Oi, Nodoka. Wake up," she said while gently shaking the sleeping girl.
After few minutes Nodoka slowly opened her eyes.
"Haruna? Ohayou," she said sleepily.
"Morning Nodoka. By the way, you might want to let go of senseis leg," Haruna said while smiling.
Nodoka sleepily looked at where her hands were and saw that they were indeed wrapped around her senseis leg. She quickly let go and jumped up.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she started to say while bowing at every sorry.
"It's alright Nodoka-san. No harm done," Negi replied smiling.
He then headed towards the bathroom.
"By the way Haruna. What are you doing here?" Nodoka asked after Negi had closed the bathrooms door.
"Oh right. Dark-sensei suggested that we would invite you three for breakfast in our room. So, what do you say," Haruna asked.
"Uh... Sure. Let me just wake Yue up and get dressed. We'll come then," Nodoka replied and started to walk towards her roommates bed.
Haruna then walked out of the room the same way she had walked in.
Few minutes later in Darks, Harunas and Kuu Feis room
"Itadakimasu" everyone said when they had sat around the table.
When the girls tasted the food all four of them almost fainted.
"This... is... AMAZING!" Kuu Fei exclaimed while eating.
"I agree. This is the best I've ever tasted," Haruna said while shoving more food into her mouth.
"By the way, what's with the small plate of tuna?" Yue asked as her eyes hit a small plate full of tuna.
Before Dark could answer the was a tiny yawn and mewing.
"Looks like she's awake," Dark said as he got up from the table and walked towards his suits jacket.
He returned a bit later carrying Aka in his hands.
"KAWAII!!" all four girls exclaimed in unison causing Aka place her pawns on her ears.
Dark placed Aka next to the plate of tuna.
"What's her name?" Haruna asked with starry eyes.
"Aka," Dark simply replied while continuing eating.
"Where did u find her?" Nodoka asked.
"A friend of mine gave her to me," Dark said while scratching Aka behind her ear.
After Aka had finished eating she climbed on top of Darks head.
"She likes to sit there," Dark said with a small laugh."By the way, Nodoka-san. I heard from Negi that you had climbed in to his bed during the night," Dark said with a smile.
At that Nodokas face started to look like a tomato.
"H-H-How did you find that out? I-I-I-I never saw N-N-Negi-sensei whisper a-a-anything to you," Nodoka stuttered.
Dark just smiled.
"Me, Negi and Nabushi can use telepathy," Dark said simply.
"Prove it," You said while taking a sip from her coconut milk flavored drink.
"Alright. Ask me something only Negi would know," Dark said.
The girls started to think.
"What did Nodoka do when she realized she had her arms around Negi-senseis leg?" Haruna asked.
Negi and Dark closed their eyes and opened them a bit later.
"Apologized three times while bowing at every apology," Dark simply said and continued to eat.
The girls looked at him with disbelieve.
"It's true," Nodoka said.
"I guess Dark-sensei and Negi-sensei really can use telepathy," Yue said.
"It doesn't work just between us," came a voice in Yue's head and she jumped a bit and started to look around herself a bit scared.
Dark chuckled a bit.
"Sorry about that. Just had to do it," Dark said.
"What he do Yue Yue?" Nodoka asked her friend.
"I talked to her telepathically," Dark said.
"Nice way to drive someone insane," Yue said sarcastically still a bit scared.
The rest of the breakfast was uneventful. After meal Dark took the dishes and headed to the kitchen. "Onii-chan," Aka said with a low voice.
"What is it, Aka?" Dark asked with an equally low voice while washing the dishes.
"Could you someday give me a human form? I've heard that there's a spell that allows that," Aka whispered.
"I'll see what I can do. But not until weekend," Dark replied while finishing the dishes.
He then walked to where the others were and graped his jacket placing Aka into the pocket. (Negi, Nodoka and Yue have already gotten their school things)
"Your taking her with you and isn't the pocket a bit too small for her?" Haruna asked.
"Yeah. I can't leave her alone all day and I had the pocket custom made so that it's bigger than a normal pocket would be," Dark replied.
There was purring coming from the pocket. He then started to walk towards the door with Negi.
"We got work for the weekend," Dark said to Negi telepathically.
"What is it?" Negi telepathically replied.
"Were going to find a spell that can give out familiars a human form," Dark said.
"Where did you get that idea?" Negi asked telepathically.
"Aka told me about it after she asked if I could someday give her a human form," Dark simply replied.
"Okay. We should tell Nabushi too," Negi said closing the telepathic link.
Dark simply nodded.
Few minutes later in the classroom
As Dark stepped into the classroom with Negi he felt something fly towards him. He quickly caught the object. When he looked at his hand he saw that the object was a kunai.
"Kaede-san. No kunais in the classroom," Dark said with a firm voice throwing the kunai back hitting the center of Kaedes desk.
"Hai, de gozaru," Kaede replied smiling.
All the girls looked at the kunai and some gulped a bit.
"Now then let's start the class," Negi said opening the class roster.
He then started to call the student skipping Aisaka Sayo.
"I guess I got ignored again," Sayo said but no one heard her of course.
Sayo kept looking at Negi and didn't notice that Dark lifted his headband slightly and noticed her.
'A ghost, eh,' he thought to himself while covering his right eye again. 'I need to tell Negi about her today. I wonder how long has she been in this classroom,' Dark wondered inside his mind.
He had noticed Asakura Kazumi looking at Sayos seat during roll call.
'I wonder if Asakura-san knows something about her. I should ask her,' Dark thought to himself while looking around the class.
After two hours
Dark and Nabushi walked to Negi.
"How about we head to the cafeteria for a snack and I need to talk to you about something," Dark said to his brother.
"Sure. Sounds good," Negi replied and started to head out of the classroom with his brother and friend.
"Sensei! Wait a minute," came a voice from behind them.
When they turned around they saw Asakura Kazumi running towards them. She was panting when she reached them.
"What is Asakura-san," Negi asked the panting girl.
"Well, it's been bugging me for awhile but why is the seat next me always empty," Kazumi explained.
"We'll look into it. Don't worry about it, Asakura-san," Dark said smiling.
"Alright. Thank you sensei," Kazumi said and ran off.
"Why did you agree to help her?" Nabushi asked a bit confused.
"Because I know why the seats empty," Dark simply replied and headed towards the cafeteria.
"Really? So, why is it," Negi asked his brother while walking next to him.
"I'll explain in the cafeteria," Dark simply replied while walking.
In the cafeteria
Dark, Negi and Nabushi were sitting in a corner table.
"So, why is the seat next to Asakura-san always empty," Nabushi asked while sipping his coffee.
"Aisaka Sayo," Dark simply replied taking a sip from his tea.
"What about her?" Negi asked.
"She's a class ghost," Dark said causing Negi and Nabushi almost choke on their drinks.
"What?!" Nabushi said coughing.
"Negi. What does the class roster say about Aisaka Sayo?" Dark asked his brother.
Negi pulled out the class roster and looked at it.
"Student #1 Aisaka Sayo. 1940. That's all it says," Negi said closing the roster.
"It seems she died in 1940 and since then has been in the class 2-A," Dark explained.
"So, what do we do about her," Nabushi asked.
"Well first we need to learn a spell to make her visible," Negi said and Dark nodded.
"Then we need to find the reason why she is still here," Dark stated.
"What's after that?" Nabushi asked.
"Dunno. We'll see when we get there," Dark said and while sipping his tea.
"We need to ask Takamichi for the spell," Nabushi said and Dark and Negi nodded.
"And we need to ask him to teach us another spell," Dark added.
"What spell is that?" Nabushi asked.
"A spell that allows us to give our familiars a human form," Dark said with a slightly serious tone.
They then finished their drink as the bell rang and headed towards the class.
Well that's it for chapter 2. Look forward to the following chapters. Negi and Nodoka belong together now and 4EVER!!
