Negima Tales

by Aki Iokua

Like the title says, a place where I put up any little one chapter shorts based on the girls and others of Negima that I happen to write up. Rated teen for safety.

2. A kitten's tears

This little number is my first actual stab into short stories. When I first came up with the idea to combine my short stories, I was wavering between making my first story first, or doing a story about the first member of the class. As you can see, I went with the latter. Anyway, if the first story was about the oldest student of 3-A (attendence-wise) then this story's about the classes oldest student (age-wise) Enjoy~! ^_^

Choking Darkness.

Freezing cold.

Ever since that day, my heart became as cold and dark as the spells I cast.

Cold, so cold! I feel like I'm frozen solid in a block of ice.

Nothing, not even the crimson heat of freshly spilt blood can melt the black ice around my heart, even as it coats my body in a gruesome display.

I am alone, alone-with my frozen heart.

But then, you came. You came and held out your hand to me.

That hand!

So warm! Why? How can your hand be this warm?

But you're warmth, aren't you? Everything about you, is warm.

Why? Why do you have to be so warm? Why do you make me feel this warm?

I'm not alone. I'm with you, who melts my frozen heart.

You. You made me feel this way. Now I, who used to be so cold, burn. You gave me warmth, and I grew on it. Now I'm burning.

Since you left, my warm heart began to burn. I will make you feel it. I will show you what you did to me when you left me all alone.

I am alone again. I am alone with my burning, ice-cold heart.

Now we meet again. I see you and I burn.

I burn with rage.

I burn with love.

I will burn you. I will burn you to crisp.

I can't. Against your warmth, mine is nothing.

My fire is quenched, and my heart thaws.

But I'm still alone.

I'm alone, with my cold, weeping heart.

You. You're the source of my misery.

You're gone now. I burned for you, and you're gone.

I hate you.

My heart is frozen solid once more. It will never thaw again.

Not without your warmth.

I love you. You're gone. And, I'm all alone.

I'm alone with my frozen heart.

If anyone couldn't guess, it's Eva. And, just like the previous chapter, it shows what I think her mind set would be before Negi came around. Just an FYI, I'll be spacing my updates of already done products by about a day. After that, it's update whenever.
