Negi day 1 (part 2)

The mage and the esper

Negi ran towards the huge spike of energy coming from the south, with Tomoyo close behind wielding a camera in her right hand.

"Is it really necessary to bring a camera along?" Negi asked looking at the brunette.

"Yes" Tomoyo responded, checking inside her camera.

"Why?"

"Why not?"

Negi dropped the subject when he noticed that one of his students were on the ground with pain and another student standing above them, and when one would say 'standing above her' they obviously meant for it to be taken literally.

"She's flying without wings? …you know despite myself I'm impressed at how much she wants to impress onlookers" Tomoyo reasoned grabbing her camera in both hands and pointing it at the blonde.

"Armstrong-san, why are you standing above Nara-san like that?" Negi asked, reaching for his staff.

"I have been sworn to secrecy in my motives" the blonde threw back, posing in mid air "and secret keeping is a skill that has been passed down through the Armstrong line for generations!"

Tomoyo couldn't help asking. "Why are you talking like that?"

"Poor naive girl… I Alicia T Armstrong has adopted a speech pattern that has been passed down through the Armstrong line for generations of course" Alicia posed again.

Negi felt a chill down his spine and jumped back just in time for Alicia to strike the ground that he was just occupying a mere two seconds earlier, a second chill ran down his spine as he ducked under a roundhouse kick aimed for his face "nice moves, but you can only get so far with dodging" Alicia taunted, using her kicks momentum to flip horizontally to dodge Negi's counter punch.

"Says the one dodging" Negi taunted back "but in all seriousness…" Negi's tone changed to a harsher one "Cum feriunt unum, et inimicus. Nullam sagittas fulguris confluent" Negi chanted launcing a bolt of lightning at the mid air girl.

"Nice try, but you'll have to do better, round shield" Alicia extended her arms towards the electric death arrow as a yellow circle materialized directly in its flight path, blocking it. Alicia smiled as Negi's face went slack for a fraction of a second before returning to a neutral battle face "my turn Sensei" Alicia righted herself on the concrete, raising her left hand and pointing at Negi "fly my fangs of lightning, Photon lancer!", as if on command six spears of electricity materialized around her and launched toward Negi, attempting to impale him on their tips.

Negi dexterously avoided the impaling instruments, before moving in to engage in melee combat against his more nimble opponent. Launching a left fist to see where his opponent would dodge to Negi's fist was dodged to the left, away from his waiting right fist, adapting fast Negi went for a kick… yet was un-able to move his legs. Looking down, Negi's eyes widened as he noticed two yellow shackles around his ankles.

"Sorry Sensei but you've underestimated me just a little" Alicia said placing energy into her fist "MAHŌKEN!" Alicia's fist swung towards the bound boy's stomache.

Negi smiled as the fist impacted, ripping the shirt off his back and hunching him over "eternal…" Negi began, chuckling as Alicia's eyes widened "Negi…" Alicia attempted to back away but found herself in binds of wind "FEVER!" Negi's arms flew out like Moses parting the red sea as a huge wave of energy surrounded both of the combatants".

Watching from afar Tomoyo was getting great coverage of her teachers fighting moves and shirtless back and abs "wow… why Sakura didn't ever tell me being straight was so enjoyable I have no idea" Tomoyo stated to no one in particular. And she remained filming the fight.

Until she felt a killing intent coming from behind her…

Spinning around Tomoyo was the first to notice Kyoko getting up off the ground, an aura flanking her everywhere she went "an ambush?"

Tomoyo stood ready for Kyoko's inevitable attack.

"FOR THE BEST QUALITY SERVICE GO FOR CHAO BAO ZI'S, LOCATED IN MAHORA FOOD COURT!" Kyoko's war scream ripped through the battlefield as the girl sprinted to attack the still bound Negi, breaking the Reflexio spell that Negi cast like it wasn't even there.

"wha-?" Negi never finished his confusion when a fist impacted his face, knocking him backwards. "Wow… that stung a bit…" Negi reported getting, up from the ground and cracking his neck.

"Freshness abound?" the possessed Kyoko felt a sudden pressure in the air that even in her crazed state could feel was bad news.

"Now would be the time that you should run away…" Negi smirked as he felt a small chill down his spine that signaled danger.

"It seems that you've underestimated me as well" Alicia smiled getting up off the ground and grabbing two fingerless gloves from her pocket and placing them on her hands "that would be your biggest mistake yet". Moving forward Alicia took a boxing stance and began to hop a little; jumping off the ground behind her Alicia flew at Negi faster than the previous charge before and swung her right fist towards Negi's face, then a left at his shoulder, right to shoulder, left to stomach, right to chesSOt, and began firing entire rounds of rapid fire fisticuffs at Negi.

Seeing the attack Negi was able to block Alicia's fists for exactly 12 seconds before Kyoko interrupted with a clawing strike that forced Negi to block, leaving himself open to a right fist in his gut, leaving him further open to Kyoko's kick to the back, and the uppercut to his jaw.

"SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE COMPETITION!" Kyoko shouted as she went for the final blow, only to find that Negi was no longer in the same spot as before and Tomoyo's foot was painfully impacting her neck. "Freshness abounds…" Kyoko felt her consciousness slip away as it suddenly became apparent that a syringe was protruding from her arm for the second time that day.

"Don't worry… it's not lethal" Tomoyo smiled, disappearing and re-appearing where Negi was getting up from his daze "question Sensei" Tomoyo began snatching the falling camera from the air "what was that?" she ended, facing Alicia.

"Holding back against one of my students" Negi responded, dusting himself off "and what prey tell was you teleporting like that?" Negi asked back.

"I'm not one to tell those types of secrets unless you at least buy me dinner first" Tomoyo flirtatiously responded, helping Negi to his feet "I'm just not that type of girl".

Negi chuckled at the flirting girl when he was once again upright "6:30 at the food court then?" Negi flirted back, readying a fighting stance as Tomoyo blushed furiously.

"Sure" Tomoyo confirmed pointing her camera at Negi and Alicia.

"Perhaps going against you so soon was a bad idea…" Alicia quipped before turning and running away.

"Hey wait!" Tomoyo and Negi shouted in unison as Alicia disappeared inside a milky white portal.

"What were those noises just now?" both of the two froze as they looked at some of the burns left in the earth from the battle when they heard voices coming from the southeast.

"Well… I'm out of here" Tomoyo reported, running in the opposite direction.

Negi stayed, but not before saying "and don't forget 6:30, the food court… don't be late".

Tomoyo paused "you were serious?" was all she could ask.

"Yes" Negi responded, waiting for the two people who heard the fight going on.

Tomoyo ran to her room in a hurry to get ready despite herself.

To be continued…

Author's notes

Welcome to chapter 3 people

First off this chapter is more action oriented than the previous ones, introducing the name of yet another of Chao's sidekicks and hinting at some things to come.

Second just in case you were wondering… the central pairing for this fic is Tomoyo x Negi… unusual yes but seriously, I hate Eriol with a passion and although I don't mind Meilin I just don't see any chemistry between her and Tomoyo.

Third I was wondering if anyone managed to guess why the chapter is called mage and esper based on what happened in this chapter…

Omake: next time

Sakura: it's do or die time for Tomoyo on her very first date

Tomoyo: no Sakura it's not like that between us *blushing red like a tomato*

Sakura: but trouble strikes as a Clow card strikes the aquarium where she and Negi are at

Syaoran: wait didn't you already seal the Clow cards and turn them into Sakura cards?

Sakura: unknown (and thankfully) to them Sakura Kinomoto and Kero-chan are nearby recording the events as they occur

Tomoyo: wait…. This is sounding awfully familiar

Sakura: next time on cardcaptor Tomoyo: Tomoyo's Heart-Racing First Date

Sakura: see you next time, lyrical magical I'll do my best.

Kero: really familiar…

Yuuno: you said it…
