CHAPTER 3: Negi Springfield's Arrival!
Negi Springfield came out from the airport's waiting lounge and to the courtyard of the airport. As he proceeded to walk around, he saw someone who had summoned him.
There is a woman wearing a miko robe with her hair tied in a traditional Priestess fashion. However, one thing that caught him the most is the fox ears and tail features. She was not afraid of showing the animal features, as many people who passed her gave a 'good morning' greeting.
She came over to Negi.
"Negi Springfield?"
"Yes I am."
"I'm Reika Yamato, Amar's mother." She introduced herself.
"So I had been called here by a headmaster from SMKTR2… and it sound pretty urgent too. What is actually going on here?"
Reika started looking a little worried here. "I will tell you on the way to the Yamato Shrine."
Back at Taman Rinting…
Amar Ma'aruf acted very, very unusual that day. He walks around like a drunken man, and he always complained that he had a strong headache. Although some paracetamol tablets were administered, he didn't change quite even a bit.
"You'd better stay here, okay?" The nurse advised him to stay put.
"What about my studies?"
"Don't worry; I'll make sure that your friends will hand over their notes to you."
With that, Amar fell asleep. The tablets, though it didn't ease the headache, at least it could put him to sleep for a while.
He had a dream when he's at rest there at the school's clinic.
"Evangeline! Stop it this instant!"
She smirked, ignoring the inu hanyou's yelling.
"Fight me, half demon."
At that instant, Amar turned into his demon form. Fueled with anger, he attacked Eva.
However, he was woken up by a shake.
"Amar Ma'aruf?"
"Yes…WHOA!!! CHACHAMARU?!"
"It's okay. I'm kind of off the hook today. Evangeline-sama is absent again."
Like she always do.
"It's already 4pm in the afternoon… shouldn't you be going home, Amar-chan?"
"Afternoon?! Gosh, I need to go back home…"
Amar ran out of the school clinic, but he tripped on the doorframe, making him fall flat on his face. Chachamaru tried to help him, but the inu hanyou waved her off in a friendly manner.
"It's okay… maybe I was being too rash…"
"… Your bag's here…"
"Sorry for troubling you, Chachamaru." Amar said, making a swift U-turn and making his way towards the robot, taking his book backpack and then he ran to the shrine grounds.
The nurse made a giant sweat drop when she saw Amar.

As Amar traversed up the shrine's long set of stairs, he sensed a boy's scent. It was new, and judging from it, he had never known this scent before. That boy, judging by the scent, was a ten year old, and what's more, he had an energy signature that was almost the same like him.
"Inu-no-nii-chan! Inu-no-nii-chan! We got a visitor!"
"A visitor?"
"Yep! He's from Japan!"
"Who is he?"
"Come on! Let me show you!"
Arikado literally dragged the young hanyou towards the house. He then saw that boy."
"Hello there." Amar greeted, offering that by his hand to shake. "I'm Amar Ma'aruf. What's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Negi Springfield." He took Amar's hand and shook it.
"Well, so I thought that you were called here by an emergency alarm from my school principal?"
The young boy nodded once.
"Well, I think my mother had told you about the yesterday's incident."
"She did…"
Negi saw the bite mark on Amar's neck. That was quite a proof; so he didn't have of ask for more details.
Negi was given a room, that's just in front of Amar's room. Speaking about Amar Ma'aruf, he had gone to his eldest sisters' room, taking of the feverish Sherry.
Ever since that bite, Sherry had become pale, and she had always murmured something inaudible. Reika was worried about her, but Resha was way worried about her older twin. She had herself cut school on taking care on the kitsune hanyou.
Thinking again on Sherry's actions last night make her shiver, as her futile attacks backfired on her.
If only they know how to cure vampirism…

Meanwhile, Evangeline woke up in her apartment when she had another bad dream. That was the very same dream she had as always.
"Master Evangeline… Negi Springfield is back…" Chachamaru acknowledged.
"No way…?!"
