Recap
"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 out 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.
End Recap
Dark: Yo Dark here. I just wanted to tell you that this chapter is pretty much based on me and my past or at least the beginning is. Well that basically all I wanted to say. Now enjoy the chapter and please review this.
Chapter 3
Dark opened his eyes after meditating the entire night. It had been few weeks since he had arrived to Mahora academy with Negi and Nabushi. He still had his headband over his left eye. After awhile he got up and headed to the bathroom. When he got there he locket the door and looked at himself from the mirror slightly depressed expression on his face. He then removed his headband from over his left eye to reveal that it was closed eye and had a scar over it. When he opened his eye it wasn't a normal looking. In fact it had ten different colors on it. Dark looked at his eye and then placed his hand over it. He still remembered the time that his life had changed and his eye had become multicolored. He could clearly remember it because it had been one of the worst and best time off his life.
Flashback
A boy with dark purple hair, cat ears, tail and a scar over his left eye was running while being chased by a rather large group of people. He looked around 7 years old. (I know it's pretty Naruto like but there's a reason why chose to do it this way.)
"Kill the demon!" yelled one of the chasers.
'Why can't these humans leave me be. I never did anything to them,' the boy though to himself while running towards a forest.
"Kill the demon before it reaches the forest," shouted one of the chasers.
As the boy was about to reach the forest an arrow pierced his right leg.
"AAAAAAAAHHHH!!" the boy screamed and fell to the ground at the edge of the forest.
The group caught up with him and started to punch and kick him at first. They then took out nailed boards and started to beat the boy up with them. After awhile the group left smiling leaving the boy lay on the ground half dead and bleeding badly.
'Why? Why did they attack me? I never did anything to them. Is it because I'm a cat hanyou?' the boy thought to himself as he felt the life leave from him. 'I don't want to die. I still have my whole life ahead of myself. Someone... please help. Someone. Please... save me,' the boy thought to himself while tears were streaming from his lifeless eyes.
Soon everything went dark. When the boy opened his eyes everything around him was dark.
"Do you wish to live?" came a voice from the darkness.
"Who's there?" the boy asked scared.
Just then ten figures appeared around him.
"We are the ten element spirits," said a girl with blue skin.
"We heard your cries for help," said a black guy with an eye in the middle of his waist.
"We can help you with that. If you wish it," said a guy that looked like a huge mole.
"What do I have to do?" the boy asked.
"Fuse with us," said a girl with light blue skin.
"What do you get out of it?" the boy asked confused.
He knew that with the fusion he could live. But every exchange had it's price.
"We get out of the forest we resign in," said a muscular guy with four arms.
"Why do you want to leave it?" the boy asked confused.
"Quite frankly we're bored in there. There's nothing to do there since no humans ever come there," said a red guy with the upper body of a devil and the lower body of a serpent.
"So, what do you say little one," asked a girl that was sitting on a crescent moon holding a staff.
"Alright. If it'll save my life I'll do it," the boy said with a serious face.
"Good. Before we do this we would like to know one thing," said a ball of electricity with eyes.
"What is it?" the boy asked.
"Your name," said a group of three girls in unison.
"I'm Kaito Dark," Dark said.
"Dark eh. Well Dark. It's nice to meet you," said an old guy who had some book hovering around him.
Then each one of the spirits disappeared and everything went dark again.
Flashback ends
Dark was brought out of his thought when banging was heard from the bathrooms door.
"Dark can you hurry up," came Harunas voice from the other side of the door.
"Yeah. Just give me a sec," Dark said.
He splashed some water to his face and dried it. He then placed his headband back over his left eye and walked out of the bathroom.
"Thanks," Haruna said as she ran to the bathroom and locked the door.
Dark sat on the table and started to eat the food that Haruna or Kuu Fei had prepared. He's thoughts started to wander again and he started to remember what happened after the encounter with the ten element spirits.
Flashback
When Dark opened his eyes he noticed that he wasn't at the edge of the forest but he was laying in bed. He looked around and saw that he was in what looked like an infirmary. Dark sat up and winced in pain grabbing his side. He lifted his side and noticed that his midsection was bandaged as were his arms and legs.
'Was that a dream?' Dark thought to himself.
"No. It wasn't a dream, Dark," came a voice in the back of Darks mind.
"Who's there?" Dark asked a bit scared.
"It's us. The ten element spirits," came another voice in the back of Darks mind.
'So, it wasn't a dream. I really was about to die,' Dark thought hanging his head.
"Yes. But thanks to us and two mages that found you are alive now," said another voice.
Just then a door opened and a girl around 13 with long blond hair came in with a boy around 6 with red hair.
"Ah, your awake. We were worried you wouldn't make it," the girl said.
"Where am I? And who are you?" Dark asked.
"Your at magic academies infirmary. Me and my little brother here found you barely alive," the girl said while motioning the boy with her.
"As to who we are my name is Nekane Springfield and this is my little brother Negi," Nekane said.
Negi gave a small bow. Dark gave a small bow back but almost immediately grabbed his side because of the pain.
"What happened to you? When we found you you looked horrible," Nekane asked.
Dark looked down.
"A group of people attacked me. Just because I'm a cat hanyou," Dark said holding back tears.
"Won't your parents say anything?" Nekane asked.
At that Dark started to sob and Nekane looked shocked as she understood.
"I'm sorry," she said.
"Don't be. You didn't know," Dark said while sobbing.
"When did they die," Nekane asked.
"About a year ago. They were killed by a group of villagers from the village we lived in," Dark said while sobbing.
The something happened that caught Dark completely off guard. Nekane hugged him.
"You poor thing," Nekane said hugging Dark.
At that moment Dark let all his emotions out and just cried into Nekanes shoulder. He didn't know how long he cried but he cried. He cried with all his heart. After he had calmed down he looked at Nekane.
"Ummm... Nekane-san?" Dark carefully said.
"What is it ummm..." Nekane said realizing he didn't know the boys name.
"Dark. Kaito Dark." Dark said.
"Dark. So, what were you about to say?" Nekane asked looking at Dark.
"I... was wondering if I..." Dark said looking away from Nekane with slight blush.
"What?" Nekane asked gently.
"C-C-Could I... call you oneechan," Dark asked looking down.
Nekane smiled and hugged Dark.
"Of course. In fact consider yourself as a Springfield from today on," Nekane said.
Dark then hugged Nekane and started to cry into her shoulder again. He didn't cry because he was sad. This time he cried because he was incredibly happy.
Flashback end
Dark had few tears rolling down from his eyes. Haruna and Kuu Fei looked at him worried.
"Is something wrong Dark-sensei?" Haruna asked.
Dark looked up and wiped away his tears.
"It's nothing. Just a memory," he said smiling.
Dark then got up and headed towards the kitchen with his dishes. As he cleaned them he couldn't help but smile at what his life was these days. After washing the dishes he got dressed and headed towards the door.
"I'll see you in the classroom," he said as he stepped out the door.
In the classroom
Negi and Dark are walking towards the classroom. Just as Negi is about to enter he senses something coming towards him and chants a spell quietly. The eraser that was about to hit his head stops as does everything around them. (Asuna doesn't have the magic canceler ability in this fanfic.) Dark then flipped the eraser and it landed on the blackboard. As Dark was about to flip the eraser Negi lifted the spell. Everyone in the room looked at Negi and Dark in awe. That is except for Asuna.
'There's something odd about those two,' she thought to herself.
Dark took his usual place near the window. Meanwhile Asuna started to take pieces off her eraser off and readied to fire one at Negi. Dark how ever noticed this and took something from his pocket. When Asuna fire the eraser piece Dark flung a needle similar to the once Haku used in Naruto only thinner and shorter at it without anyone noticing except for Nabushi and it impaled it into the opposite wall.
'Nice try Asuna-san,' Dark said to himself.
Asuna readied to fire another piece at Negi. Dark noticed this and took two needles from his pocket. When Asuna fire the piece Dark again flung a needle at it but this time he also flung another needle which hit Asunas arm paralyzing it. Asuna grabbed her arm catching everyones attention.
"That's quite enough Asuna-san," Dark said.
"What did you do to my arm," Asuna asked angrily.
"I hit a pressure point and paralyzed it for about five minutes," Dark said happily.
'To be able to hit a pressure point from that distance requires quite a lot of skill, de gozaru,' Kaede thought to herself while looking at Dark.
"Now be a good girl Asuna-san and pay attention in class," Dark said leaning against the wall with his visible eye closed.
The rest of the class was uneventful except that Haruna occasionally looked at Dark.
'I wonder why he always wears that headband over his left eye. And one day I'm might find out why,' she thought to herself.
After class
Dark was walking down the hallways deep in thought. He was remembering the time he had spend with Nekane-oneechan and Negi. He was smiling at these memories since they were some of the best times of his life.
"Aniki!" came a yell from behind him.
As he turned to look he saw Negi and Nabushi running towards him.
"What's with you today? You've been kinda out of it the whole day," Nabushi asked once he caught up to Dark with Negi.
Dark just sighed and placed his hand over the headband.
"Oh. Remembering the past," Nabushi said.
Dark just nodded. It had been sometime after Nabushi had become friends with Negi and Dark that had Dark told him about his past. To say that Nabushi had been angry would had been an understatement. He had been infuriated about it. It had caused him to blow up one of the nearby trees. As they continued to talk about their past they didn't notice that Miyazaki Nodoka, Saotome Haruna and Asakura Kazumi were following them.
"W-W-Why are we following them?" Nodoka asked.
"I want to find out why Dark-sensei looked so depressed this morning," Haruna said.
"I'm just looking for a big scoop," Kazumi said holding a camera.
"Yeah... On Nabushi," Haruna said with a sly grin.
At this Kazumis cheeks gained a slight tint of red.
"S-S-So what?" she stuttered.
Nodoka giggled at this.
"Be quiet Nodoka. Your in love with Negi-sensei," Kazumi said causing Nodoka to blush.
"A-A-And H-H-Haruna's in l-love with D-D-Dark-sensei," Nodoka stuttered.
"I'd say we're all in the same boat," Haruna said and Nodoka and Kazumi nodded.
The three girl carefully kept following Negi and the others.
At school roof
Nabushi, Negi and Dark were sitting on the roof with their familiars talking. Nodoka, Kazumi and Haruna were spying on them behind a nearby corner.
"Man this disguise is starting to get really troublesome," Dark said.
"Then why don't you take it off, oniichan," Aka said.
At that moment Harunas eye went wide.
"Aka just talked," she almost screamed.
What happened next made the girls almost scream cute. Dark said few unknown words and two dark purple cat ears and a fluffy dark purple white tipped cat tail came out of the end of his tail bone.
"That feels much better," Dark said relieved while his tail swung behind him.
"Is the kitty happy now," Nabushi said with a teasing tone.
"Watching it bloodsucker," Dark snapped at him.
Ufuru just snickered at this.
"I think that enough arguing. We still have some planning to do," Negi said.
"Aniki's right," Chamo said from Negis shoulder.
Just then Darks ears perked up and twitched a bit.
"Guys. We got company," Dark told Negi and Nabushi telepathically causing their eyes to widen in shock.
"Who are they," Nabushi asked.
Dark sniffed the air for a while.
"Nodoka, Kazumi and Haruna," Dark replied and small smile appeared on his lips.
"What do we do?" Negi asked with a slightly panicking voice.
"What else. Erase their memory or pactio," Nabushi said.
"Okay. I'm in. I was thinking of making Haruna my partner anyways," Dark said.
"So, anyone got any plans how to do it," Nabushi asked.
"I got one," Negi said and started to explain the plan to others.
The three girls were getting worried. Dark and the others had been quiet for a quite awhile.
"D-D-Do y-y-you think t-t-they found u-us?" Nodoka whispered with worried voice.
"Couldn't have. I mean we have been quiet the whole time," Kazumi said.
The girls kept watching them until.
"Looks like their about to leave," Haruna said as she noticed that Dark, Negi and Nabushi were getting up from the roofs floor.
"MEA, VIRGA!" all three exclaimed and after few seconds later a staff flew into Negis and Dark hand and a scythe came to Nabushis hand.
Negis and Darks were still wrapped in cloth and bandages. The girls eyes went wide at this.
"What are they?" Kazumi almost yelled.
The girls then started to move away from Negi and the others. When they turned the corner they bumped into Dark with his cat features still out and Aka on top of his head. Negi and Nabushi came out from behind the corner with Chamo and Ufuru.
"Hello Haruna-san, Kazumi-san and Nodoka-san," Dark said smiling.
"D-D-Dark-sensei," Nodoka stuttered.
"Now then," Nabushi started.
"Since you found out our secret we are going to have to erase your memories of that," Negi said and the three girls looked scared.
"Or you could form a pactio with us," Dark said with a smile.
"W-W-What's a pactio?" Nodoka asked confused.
Chamo then explained the pactio to the girls.
"So girls. What's your answer?" Dark asked.
"Memory erasing or pactio?" Ne asked pointing his staff at the girls as did Dark and Nabushi pointed his scythe at them.
Dark: CLIFFHANGER!! Well anyways that's it for this chapter. Look forward to the next o... AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! (Falls over in pain and soon a figure bursts out from his back)
The figure: Finally out from there.
Dark: Damn it Syryus. If you wanted out you should have just said so. Not come out so forcefully.
Syryus: Yeah yeah. Putting that aside when are you going to make fanfics that I'm in.
Dark: You know I haven't been able to do those since I already have three fanfics under work and I still don't have a lot of info about you.
