Sorry I haven't replied to any of the reviews in the first chapter. xP I'm kind of new to fanfiction, and I forgot about replying to reviews. Sorry! I'm going to reply to everyone who has reviewed the second chapter.
Elfspirit7: Thanks for reviewing. Yes, chapter 2 was kind of short, but I often get writer's block, and I didn't know what to write after we find out that Makie likes Setsuna, so I left it like that, and thought, Ah, I'll just think about it the next time I write it. I'm lazy. :D
Animeaics: Thanks for reviewing. Haha, yes, Makie and Setsuna! I actually have no idea how far I'm going to go with this pairing. I wanted to pair up Setsuna with Makie because I've never seen this pairing before. Hehe, I remember after I put up the second chapter, I reviewed Sousaku's story, 'The New Kid' I saw your review for that story too, and you suggested to pair up Makie with Setsuna. How ironic. xD
Masu1212: Thanks for reviewing. Haha, yes, Setsuna's going to have some drama, but it'll all be fine in the end, we'll have a happy ending. ;D
Pigtopus: Thanks for reviewing. LOL, yeah, it's a weird pairing, and nobody's written about them yet, so I'm experimenting.
TaraneePheonix: Thanks for reviewing. Dramaaa! I love drama, it excites everything. I also love konosetsu too.
Rotem: Thanks for reviewing. Haha, it is a weird pairing, but that doesn't mean it can't work! :3
Yurifan225: Thanks for reviewing. LOL, I didn't see that coming either. When I was writing the first chapter, it was just going to be a one shot, but I thought, nahh, let's make things interesting. xD
Nolens Volens: Thanks for reviewing. lol, I like this chapter too, it gave me ideas for other chapters. :
Yuunagi: Thanks for reviewing. Yup, at first I wanted it to be a full konosetsu story, but I wanted to add drama. I love drama. xD
I do not own Negima.

Onto the third chapter!
- - - - -
Konoka looked at the clock and saw that it was around 7:00. She was starting to get worried, because Setsuna was usually early for dinner. Why is she late today? Did something happen? Asuna saw Konoka's worried face and comforted her. She knew what she was worried about. She walked up to Konoka and put her hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, don't worry. Something probably came up, and Setsuna had to take care of it. She's only a little late." Asuna said.
Konoka looked up, and smiled. It was nice to know that Asuna was comforting at times.
"Yeah, you're probably right. I'm just worried, you know. After figuring out my feelings for her and stuff…" Konoka said in a worried tone.
Asuna was about to say something, but heard a knock on her door. She saw Konoka jump up to go open the door. She finally came… Asuna thought, as she plopped down on the couch.
Konoka unlocked the door, and hugged the person who would be waiting for the door to open. But as she jumped on Setsuna, she thought she saw something pink in her vision, but didn't care.
"Secchan! You're finally here!" Konoka said.
"O-Ojousama! You shouldn't do that! It's improper!" Setsuna stuttered out.
"Mou, stop calling me Ojousama, it makes me feel old…" Konoka said, while pouting.
"Sorry… Um, can you get off now? There's someone else here…" Setsuna said.
"Hm? Who?" Konoka asked.
Konoka let go of Setsuna and looked at the person next to her.
"Makie-chan? What are you doing here?" Konoka asked.
"Um, well, I wanted to talk to Setsuna about something, but she said it was late, so she invited me for dinner. That's no trouble right?" Makie asked.
Konoka was disappointed that there would be another person for dinner, but smiled at the idea that Setsuna cared for her other classmates.
"Of course there's no trouble Makie-chan. Negi's not coming back for dinner, so it would just be the four of us. Come on in!" Konoka exclaimed.
Konoka ran into the kitchen to prepare the dinner and to set up the plates. Just as Setsuna and Makie walked into the room, Asuna screamed out, "Oh? Holding hands now, are we?"
Setsuna looked down to see that their hands were still entwined.
"Oh, sorry Makie-san." Setsuna said, as she let go of Makie's hand.
"Ah, it's okay Setsuna-san. I actually liked holding your hand…" Makie said, shyly.
Setsuna couldn't hear the last thing that Makie said because she was putting down her sword, and taking off her shoes.
"Huh? I'm sorry, What did you say?" Setsuna asked.
"Nothing, Nothing!" Makie said, while waving her hands in front of her face to show that nothing was wrong. Setsuna just looked at her wondering if something is wrong but decided that nothing was wrong, and walked over to sit next to Asuna.
"Phew, I'm glad she didn't hear me…" Makie said after Setsuna left.
What she didn't know, was that Konoka heard her. It seemed that the kitchen was much closer to the doorway then she thought.
What? THEY WERE HOLDING HANDS? And Makie LIKED to hold Secchan's hand?! Does that mean she likes Secchan too? Ohh, this is so confusing… Konoka thought. She even stopped setting up the plates, because she was so into her thoughts. Setsuna thought there was something wrong, because Konoka never took this long to set up the plates. She got up and walked up right next to Konoka.
"Ojousama?" Setsuna asked, trying to get her attention.
"Ah, Secchan! What are you doing here?" Konoka replied.
"You've been taking a while to set up the plates, so I decided to see what was wrong…" Setsuna said.
"Nothing's wrong, I was just thinking a lot." Konoka said, putting on a weak smile.
"Oh? What were you spending so much time thinking about?" Setsuna asked.
"Ah, nothing much Secchan. It's okay," Konoka replied. "Just help me put these plates on the table, and we can eat dinner."
"Okay Ojousama." Setsuna said.
"Secchan." Konoka said in a stern tone.
"Hm?" Setsuna replied.
"Stop calling me Ojousama! I hate that name!" Konoka said angrily.
"Sorry, it's a habit…Kono-chan." Secchan said.
Konoka smiled satisfied with what had happened. Setsuna ran off with the plates to set them up. Asuna then got up to help with Konoka to bring over the food.
"Is there anything for me to help with?" Makie asked.
"No, we're almost done, just come sit here and wait." Konoka replied.
Makie got up, watching her friends putting food on the table. She saw Konoka slip as she was holding onto a plateful of mashed potatoes, and was about to run up to help her, but she saw Setsuna come up from behind to grab Konoka by the waist and hold her close to keep her from falling. Konoka instantly leaned into the body that was holding her close, and sighed, forgetting about the mashed potatoes in her hands. Makie couldn't help but feel a little…jealous. Grr, why are they still hugging? Sure, Konoka-chan fell before, but that was before. Now, they're just…hugging!
While Makie was was in her own train of thoughts, Asuna saw what had happened with Konoka and Setsuna, and she saw Makie's facial expression when she was looking at them, and it did not look happy at all. Is Makie jealous? Why should she be, it's not like… OH CRAP, DOES SHE LIKE HER TOO? Asuna thought. She was shocked by what she thought, but decided to ask Konoka about this later, since, you know, women pick up on these things.
"Oi, are you guys done yet? I'm hungry here you know…" Asuna said.
"Ah! Sorry Asuna, I guess I…forgot?" Setsuna said, while letting go of Konoka.
Konoka pouted when she was let go, and sent a slight glare at Asuna for snapping her out of bliss. Asuna chuckled at what Konoka did, but was still a little worried about what she saw with Makie.
Setsuna looked at Makie, and saw that her eyes were glazed over. She went over to Makie and shook her a little to get her back to their world.
"Makie-san?" Setsuna asked.
"Hm? Oh! Setsuna-san! Is it time to eat dinner?" Makie exclaimed.
"Yeah, come on and sit down before the food gets cold." Setsuna said, dragging Makie's hand to bring her to the table. She let go and sat next to Konoka on one side, which left Makie to sit next to Asuna on the other. Makie sat down, and picked up her chopsticks.
Asuna felt a little weird sitting with all of them, because she felt like something was wrong, but didn't want to say anything. She just hoped that nothing would be weird while they ate dinner…
"Secchan, say ahh!" Konoka said, while feeding her protector.
Asuna's hopes were shattered.
