/On way to Kyoto Junior High/
The sun was now shining with a glow that just screamed 'hottest day of the year' and during spring its glow is quite strong, especially in a crowded bus. However, for Tara and Kira, who still was sitting on Otumaru's shoulders, even the heat couldn't keep down their excitement from the anticipation of this evenings get together.
"Ok so, you guys get the drinks, and head to my house after school, k" Tara ordered barely able to keep her voice down, due to her excitement.
Kira nodded her head in confirmation to Tara's orders, but then thought of something "What do we do about snacks, are you going to get them?" asked Kira looking up at her much taller friend even though she herself was sitting on a boy who was nearly a giant by comparison.
"I've got a few things at home, but I was thinking I could ask Lisa-san or maybe even Faita-kun to pick something up" Tara replied, but at the mention of the upper classman's nickname caused Otumaru to let out a huff.
"What's wrong with him?" she asked "Otu-chan and Faita-sempai are still tied at 20 wins a piece since their last match" Kira explained.
"Really?" Tara solemnly said "Who won?" she asked with minimal curiosity, she really didn't get why guys had to outdo each other at sports especially wrestling; to be totally honest Tara really doesn't care for sports, she would rather watch anime or read manga.
"Faita-sempai did by pin" answered Kira which after being reminded of said incident Otumaru puffed out a cloud of air throw his nose, much like a agitated bull.
Kira then leaned down to grasp her friend's neck in a hug "Don't worry Otu-chan you'll get him next time" upon hearing this reassuring statement coupled with the firm hug Otumaru seemed to calm down.
A smirk then proceeded to show itself on Tara's face "You two really are quite the couple" she said in a teasing tone, which caused her friends to blush, and as the bus continued to travel Kira yelled "TARA-SAN!"

/Arrival at Kyoto Middle School/
As the bus came to a halt at the bus stop in front of the school Tara followed by Otumaru doing his 'gorilla walk' as Tara had come to call it, with Kira riding bare back, or bare shoulder to be more exact, walked through the school yard which was buzzing with activity. As they made there way to the front doors Kira and Tara were still chatting it up about this evening's fun, while Otumaru just simply listened.
"So, that's it you know what to do?" Tara asked her chibi companion, to which Kira nodded and started to hum a tune that Tara couldn't pinpoint. When it was time for them to go there separate ways, they bowed and waved a short good by, Tara has biology first period while Kira & Otumaru both had English.
While walking away Tara, who had realized something, turned and then called out "Ki-chan I forgot today is the day for our chemical lab in 'Environmental Science' so I won't be having P.E. today…" she continued "could you tell Faita-kun for me?" she finished, on that note Otumaru huffed and Kira started to pat his head saying 'there, there' then turning her attention to Tara she replied "Hai, don't worry will tell him" with that said they walked off.

/A few hours later with Kira & Otumaru /
Time: free period
Location: Wrestling Clubroom
"Ok, so we need to ask Faita-sempai if he'll come" Kira said replaying the order given to her "and I guess Tara-san is going to ask Lisa-chan" she then nodded her head in pride that she remembered everything. She was brought back, however; when Otumaru came to a stop, when he did Kira noticed that they were already at there destination the 'Kyoto Wrestling Club's' clubroom.
"Alright were here, lets go Otu-chan" Kira said while pointing forward and kicking Otumaru's sides gently as if he were a horse. Upon entering the room Kira's eyes widened at the size of it, even though she has seen it countless times due to Otumaru matches with Faita-sempai, its size never ceased to amaze her.
While walking through the warehouse size room filled with wrestling mats, dumbbells, and practice dummies Kira and her gorilla walking companion drew a few eyes as they continued there trek, searching for there target until
"Ugh!"
"One, Two, Three!" the sound of a hand could be heard slamming on the mat
"Winner AXEL JOEDO!!!"
"I think we found him" Kira chirped happily pointing in the direction of the noise (as well as the obvious) Otumaru just walked forward with his eyes still slightly opened holding a look that clearly said 'can we go back'.
Continuing onward our two young friends finally spotted their target who Kira then yelled out to get his attention. The guy named Axel was now surrounded by a small group that was composed of underclassmen and a few cooing girls, which was to be expected due to him being the captain of the wrestling team (which still is undefeated in any area or country wide competition, I might add).
After hearing the yell said person turned to see the two walking up (ok Otumaru walking and Kira riding). Axel has black spiky hair, which matched his eyes (there black to), he has an athletic build which is emphasized by his height (183 cm) and attire, a plain white sleeveless t-shirt with gray sweat shorts.
"Yo Chibi-chan!" he called back as the two came closer, a shiver could be seen gracing Kira's person, most likely from the fact she was referred to by her least favorite nickname. "Faita-sempai!" she whined back and pouted "you know I don't like being called that" she said still pouting.
"Sorry, sorry" he replied apologetically while having a wide smile adorning his face, however; when he looked a little farther down at Otumaru his smile just grow "Yo Gorilla-san, here for another match", he jokingly asked but holding a look of seriousness in his black eyes. Otumaru only did his impression of an agitated bull as a response; Axel could only let out a slight chuckle "Hey, hey don't be like that" he said with his wide smile, but was quickly replaced with a serious smirk and forwarded eyes with a determined gleam that seemed to shine from them.
He then rushed forward and kept going as if he was going to run the two people over, however Otumaru didn't plan on standing still he charged forward, a little in his gorilla walk, then going to a semi-crouched walk and finally finishing up with a semi-leaning forward position ramming his palms against Axel's. When their palms collided a circle of dust could be seen forming and then dispersed as a shock wave from the impact sent it scattering.
The two student's antics seemed to draw quite a few stares from the surrounding people with all eyes locked on the scene. They stayed like this for about a minuet until Axel broke the silence "Hey, Chibi-chan what's the real reason you guys came here" he began still holding his ground against Otumaru, who he noticed wasn't going all out (trust me when you fight someone so many times you wined up knowing when they are going easy) "Gorilla-san could have pushed me back a few feet already, so I'm guessing you came here for another reason"
Kira who had lost her balance for a split second from Otumaru's sudden charge was now beating her small fists against her friends head like a drum while ranting "Otu-chan that was mean you should really warn…eh?" she paused as she finally seemed to register Axel's question, she then had a look showing she had remembered something "Oh yeah, Tara-san wanted to know if you'd like to come over to her house for a party" she chirped, instantly forgetting what she was angry about "there will be food, games, and we're also going to wat…eh" she once again seemed to realize something, which her face changed to a look of annoyance and irritation.
"Faita-sempai, that's mean you know I don't like being called that!" she whined puffing out her cheeks in agitation, Axel could only sweat drop from the fact that she only now just realized it. "Hai, hai sorry about that" he apologized "and to answer your question, I'd love to, I'll bring some snacks from the convenience store after school on my way there" he finished, once again the small girl instantly went form angry to joyous in under a mille-second "Great, let's got Otu-chan" Otumaru stopped his forceful push and got back to his 'crouched position', but held a look saying he was ready to fight any second.
Axel noticed this and let out an amused chuckle "Not to worry Gorilla-san, we can finish next time" he stated with a wide grin, Otumaru stared at him for a few seconds, breathed out a tuff of air from his nose and turned and walked away.
As both sides walk away, and every one seemed to be dispersing due to the scene being over, a small conversation was starting between an underclassman and a wrestling team member.
"Who was that just now?" asked the underclassman obviously surprised by the event, "That was Otumaru-san…" explained the wrestling team member who didn't seemed to shocked about the situation "the only guy to ever beat Axel-sempai in a match" he stated calmly, need less to say the underclassman was pretty shocked by this and simply said "Really!", "Hai him and Axel are now tied at 20 wins apiece".
The underclassman looked at the guy called Otumaru and seemed a tad skeptical, he folded his arms and said in a tone with the hint of venom easily recognized in it "He probably just cheated".
Axel who had been walking by them at this point in the conversation turned and simple said "So you think he cheated" he asked it being more of a statement than an actual question.
The younger of the two seemed really shocked from being addressed by the upperclassman, who even though had a friendly smirk on his face was clearly annoyed by the underclassman's words "Um… I'm sorry sempai I just-" he started but was interrupted by Axel's next line "do you think I would call a person who cheats my rival?" he stated simply still holding a smirk but glaring at the younger teen, which instantly made the underclassman feel guilty about his words and then replied with his head hanging down "no sempai".
Axel just stood there for a few short moments and then had his wide grin on his face and said "Okay" and walked off.

/A little while before with Tara/
Time: Free period
Location: Computer Lab
As Tara was making her way to the 'Computer Lab' she seemed to be counting on her fingers and started to mumble something about pasta, but stopped when she came to the slightly open door of her destination. She popped her head in to see if anyone was inside, which her gaze was met with nothing but the sight of turned off computers and empty chairs, however; she could faintly her something, a clicking sound like that of a keyboard.
Tara ventured a little bit further into the room that seemed to be completely vacant of any living organism (besides herself of course) and made her way closer to the clicking noise that sounded very rapid. She then peeked over a row of computers and saw the source of the noise; it was a girl typing at a speed that Tara probably couldn't keep up with if running (And she was kicking close to Mock 2 that morning), but then she yelled out of nowhere "Good Morning Lisa-san!". The short dark brown haired girl she was referring to didn't seem to register the greeting, or if she did just ignored it and continued typing.
After a little bit more time of watching the girls unbelievable clicks she stopped, pressed the enter key, and moved the mouse and clicked the send option on the screen all in one smooth motion; she then looked at Tara with her brown eyes and sighed "Tara you do know it's past 12:00 correct" she asked with an tone that flowed with both annoyance and amusement at the fact her friend most likely didn't realize the time. "Hai" the other girl chirped this only caused the girl called Lisa to ask "then why the good morning greeting, when you should say good afternoon?" she questioned quite curious at her friends reason for her earlier greeting.
"Because I didn't see you this morning, and I just didn't want you to be left out since I said it to Otumaru-san and Ki-chan" she said matter of factily. Her friend only could sweat drop at this answer and remarked "Why is it that when ever you say something it makes me question the Laws of Conventional Thinking" she smiled and raised a brow as she said this. Tara could only reply with an "Eh?" which in turn caused the other girl to give a small smirk "where did I lose you?" she asked with a knowing look "some where around 'the'".
Lisa lightly chuckled at this response, which caused Tara to put her hands on her hips and ask "What's so funny" she said with a tone of annoyance, but the feeling was quickly forgotten when she remembered the reason she was here. "Oh Lisa are you free today after school today" she questioned, which Lisa could only look a little surprised "Well I was thinking of going home, to study and maybe type a new chapter to my latest fanfiction" she replied and continued "but I guess I could put it off till later" she finished still looking at Tara with a 'what's up' look.
"Good because we are going to have a party at my house, and watch Ne-Gi-Ma!?" Lisa had a smile appear on her face with that knowing look of hers "of course it has to do with anime" Tara simple smiled her best 'otaku smile' as she accomplished her mission, but then asked rather of topic (that's just the way she is). "So what's your new fanfiction about?" the other girl had to process this for a second, but then gave a smirk which was coupled with 'half moon' eyes "It's about a mature mage who finds love in the arms of a young high school computer genius" she held a finger up like a teacher does when explaining something important "So it's a Takamichi/Chisame paring?" at hearing this Lisa nearly fell sideways out of her chair.
She glared at her friend with an annoyed expression and replied dryly "No" Tara apparently didn't catch the dry tone, she just simply kept talking "but Chisame is the only computer genius in the series that I know of" she said holding her hand under her chin trying to remember if there was a character she forgot. Lisa sighed at this turned in he chair and began to logout of the website she was on which read '', Tara just continued her thoughts in an attempt to figure out who the mystery character was.
However her thoughts were cut short by the ringing of the school bell (hey this may seem weird, but have you ever noticed that the bells in anime don't ring they sound more like recording of wind chimes…sorry just thought I put that out there) "Oh I need to get to class" Tara chirped and then started to head for the door and then yelled back "later Lisa, see you tonight", but before she got out the door Tara heard Lisa call out "Tara hold up, I might be a little late" she explained "because there's something I need to pick up, okay" Tara nodded her understanding and left.

/After school/
Location: Tara's house
It was a little past 5 and it was starting to get dark, the proof was in the full moon could be seen. Tara was setting up the living room, with every thing a party dedicated to watching anime needed (chairs, a table with a few snacks, and a of course the TV to watch it on). The door bell rang a few times before she opened it and when she did the first person to arrive actually surprised her. "Lisa-chan I thought you were going to be late getting here" she stepped aside to let Lisa in "Yeah, I thought so to, but it turns out the store was actually pretty close" as she walked in Tara noticed a big brown paper bag in her friend's hands an eyed suspiciously as she closed the door.
"Ne, Lisa-san what's in the bag" she asked quite curious as she was reaching for it, but the bag was pulled just out of her grabbing range "It's just something I picked up on my way here" she stated bluntly, knowing full well of her friends overly curious nature. Lisa tugged the bag away from Tara's grasp, but unfortunately wasn't able to keep her from seeing something, a shiny little gleam could be seen and Tara instantly had a look that you normally would expect from a kitten staring at a ball of yarn.
"Shiny" Tara said with her complete and utter attention focused on the shinnying object; at the sound of Tara's words Lisa sweat dropped and had a nerves look on her face "Uh…Tara" is all she could say before said girl jumped into the air heading straight for her. "Eep!" she squealed as Tara was descending upon her and she was only mere inches to, but as luck with have it the doorbell rang (can anyone say saved by the bell).
"Oh! I'll get it" she said oblivious to the fact she was defying the laws of physics, she had actually stopped in mid air in (lol...four eyes) the mist of her pouncing on Lisa, much to Lisa's sudden relief. Tara landed on her feet and walked to the door opening it and see the person outside was Axel who was standing there with bags in his hands. Axel now wore a short sleeved T-shirt with a picture of John Cena, camo cargo pants, and a pair of Nikes, but still wore that same wide smile of his.
"Took you long enough" he said jokingly
"Faita-kun good morning"
At this statement he sweat dropped "Um, Tara you…", but before he could finish he saw Lisa motioned for him to not ask, for which he gave a confused look but complied.
Kira and Otumaru were the last arrive and Kira was wearing glasses, but when the others asked about them, she only replied by saying "you wouldn't believe me even If I told you" and when they looked at Otumaru he simply nodded in agreement.
After settling down and sitting around the snack table the five friend proceeded to discuss things about their day (keep in mind Otumaru is not really included in those talking he just listens), this continued for about 30 minuets until Tara motioned them to the television so they could do what they were gathered to do. "Time for Negima!?" she said striking a pose and holding the remote out in mid air.
'Click…' "Eh" is all she could say, as she continued to press the start button on the remote to start the show, but for some reason or another it wasn't working. Tara kept pressing the button growing more exasperated by the second, and everyone thought that she might break the remote. However; no one seemed to notice blue sparks started to come off the TV until the same sparks started to surround Tara.
"What…what's going one?" Tara yelped
Needless to say everyone was shocked at what was happening, but before anyone could even try to respond a flash of light appeared from the TV, and when it disappeared everyone was gone.
"Uh…what…where" Tara said getting up "ow! My head" after a second she realized that she was sitting in on a grassy field with the wind blowing. Now to say she was a little confused would be an understatement, Tara got up to look around and noticed a large of shade on the ground. She turned around and found the biggest tree she had ever seen.
She continued to gaze at it for what seemed to be an eternity (though it probably be more like 4 or five seconds) until the wind blow causing her to cover her eyes and looked to the left. An there right in front of her was a place she never could of imagined but know all to well.
"Mahora" is all she could say as the wind blow past her causing her hair to blow with it"
