Things are relatively calm after the whole final incident. The students are slowly preparing for the summer vacation, which will arrive in about another week. Yuki, the dorm's newest resident, was doing fairly well in hiding herself. Being just about the right size, she can be passed off as a doll if no one studied her too carefully. Still, she also received a new wardrobe, a gift from Sarah as well as a reluctant Evangeline. She's also quite a happy elf, if not overly polite sometimes. She also carries with her a silver cross that's almost as tall as she is. There are engraving of the elements on the cross, starting from wind on the top, water to the left, ground to the bottom, fire to the right, and holy in the middle. No one is sure exactly what they're there for, but they're fine with it as long as Yuki doesn't demonstrate her power on any students.
…That is, Kamo excluded. But so far, he hasn't done anything that's offensive to the elf, much to Asuna and Sarah's disappointment.
Negi and Co. are deciding on this year's school trip. Of course, he already has a destination in mind, and having the full support of pretty much everyone in the class, there's no arguing as to where they're going.
This year, they are going to Kyoto!
…Or they would be….
"EEEEEEEHHHH! THE SCHOOL TRIP TO KYOTO IS CANCELED!" Negi exclaim as the devastating news took its toll on the kid. Negi, having been filled with hope, was now crushed as he somehow drifted himself over to a corner and assumed a fettle position. "…C-cancelled…"
"…Any particular reason as to that?" Sarah asks as Yuki rest herself on her head while Kamo busy himself with trying to cheer his aniki up.
"…It can't be helped… things aren't going well in Kyoto at this period of time." Konoemon says as he strokes his bread. "I had Takamichi do some traveling to Kyoto recently, and the news he received aren't that good… and besides, they don't want you to go… he doesn't want you to go…"
"Surely there's something you can do…" Sarah says as she glances at her heart-broken charge. "…And who's this 'he' you're talking about?"
"…mm… there might be someway…" The principal says as he reaches into his drawer and retrieve a letter. "If Negi-kun can deliver this to the Eastern Headquarters, then things should be okay."
"…What's his deal?" A voice asks, making Sarah and Konoemon turn to the door. Evangeline AK McDowell walked into the room with Chachamaru in toll as she tilted her head at the crying child.
"Ma, it's something about the trip being cancelled." Sarah answered as she walked towards her charge and kneel beside him. "Ne, Negi-sama, don't be depressed. There's still time…"
"But there's no way…!" Negi says as he turn a tear stricken face towards Sarah, who sweat drop as she eyed at a particular fluid that is slowly flowing out of his nose.
"Haven't you been listening? Aniki, we just need to deliver a letter to the Eastern Headquarter, and everything will be fine!" Kamo says as he leaps onto Negi's shoulder while Yuki land on his other one.
"Ma, Negi-nii-sama, don't be sad." The elf says as she pats Negi's head gently.
"A letter?" Evangeline asks as she looks at the principal for answer.
"Hmm…" Stroking his bread once more, the old man sits himself down as he folds his hands in front of him. "You know that Takamichi had being gone for the past few days right?" Receiving a nod from the blonde girl, Konoemon's face turns dead serious as he continues, "There were rumors that a group over there is causing troubles around the city. So for safety measure, they as well as he don't want Negi anywhere near the place."
"…'they'? As in the Kansai Magic Association?" Evangeline asks as she tilt her head while thinking about something. "…And 'he' is…?"
"…That's not something I can discuss openly." Konoemon says before he turns over to the somewhat calm Negi. "Negi-kun, there is one way you can still have that school trip. You just need to deliver this letter to the head of the Kansai Magic Association while you're there."
"…The letter…?" Negi asks as he walks over to the desk and picked said letter up.
"Well, you see, since I'm part of the head of the Kantou Magic Association, and since Kantou and Kansai Association's relationship is somewhat on shaky ground." Konoemon explains as Negi nod in understanding. Taking another breath, the old man continues, "And since our relationship is on shaky ground, things had gotten quite complicated. And so, if I were to send in a teacher who's also a mage, they're surely voice their disapproval."
"EEEEHH! YOU MEAN IT'S BECAUSE OF ME!" Negi suddenly exclaims as his face contort in horror. However, that was soon solved as Sarah's fist firmly meet with his head.
"Baka, just listen!" The caretaker says as Yuki patted Negi's head asking if he's fine.
"Anyway, so I'm planning to stop this pointless feud by sending you over as a special envoy." Konoemon continues his explanation as he points at the letter in Negi's hand. "So all you got to do is deliver that to the head of the association. However, you will encounter dangers on the way as a group is causing trouble."
"…But they're also mages, so they won't get the students involved. Is that where you're headed?" Evangeline asks after hearing everything that is to hear about this whole issue.
"Hohoho, as expected of Eva-chan." Konoemon laughs as said vampire just sigh.
"…that shouldn't be too bad… however, I don't plan on going…" Sarah suddenly says, causing everyone save Chachamaru's to do a double take. "I plan to stay here… it won't do him any good if I keep following him around every where he goes…"
"Hmm… You do have a point…" The principal says before he nods after summing up his thought. "Very well. I'll send some other teachers over with him. Not all of them will be mages of course. They'll jump in if things get too hectic."
"Hai, arigatou." Sarah says with a happy smile, which dropped as Konoemon voiced his next issue.
"By the way, Kyoto is where Konoka-chan used to live when she's little… Has she somehow found out you're a mage?" The principal asks as he watched Negi with an open eye.
"I don't think so…" Negi says as he looks towards the ceiling will recall the pass events.
"However, I'd suspect she is doubtful about some things." Sarah says as she remembers all those close calls that they had when Konoka just appeared out of nowhere. "Why? Is it such a big deal?"
"Well, to tell the truth, I don't really care about it myself… But her parents have completely different ideas. Please, if possible, don't let her find out." Konoemon says as he watch from Negi to Sarah to Evangeline and finally back to Negi.
"…Che, it has nothing to do with me." Evangeline says as she cross her arms in front of her.
"…it's not that hard of a thing to do." Sarah says after considering her option over.
"…I-I think I can do that…" Negi says as he blinks a few times at the old man.
"Hmm… good to hear… good to hear…" Konoemon says before he puts on a beaming smile. "Well then, the school trip to Kyoto will proceed as planned! But I'm counting on you Negi-kun."
"YES SIR!" The child says before he skipped out of the room, leaving behind Evangeline and Sarah while Chachamaru continues to remain on the side line.
"…Well then, about 'him'…" The principal starts with a dead serious face as he was sure that Negi is out of hearing range while Chachamaru stood guard outside…
> > > > > > > > > >
The day of the closing ceremony, Negi and Co. is once again running to school. Although why are they running to school when they're not even late? One Hasegawa Chisame always wonders that as she watches the group passes her by.
'Damn brat… we're not going to be late… why are they running anyway?' The girl thought as she sweat drop as the Narutaki twin drop kicked the kid.
During the closing ceremony…
"Hohoho, everyone please, allows me the pleasure to introduce you all. From the new year onward, he will be an official teacher at the main campus of the English department. Please welcome Mr. Negi Springfield!" The principal says as he gestures to the blushing child. The whole place soon burst into cheers as Negi continues to bow. However, one student's reaction is completely different…
'NANI!' Chisame exclaimed mentally as her jaw dropped and her eyes budge at the news… 'T-T-T-THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!'
As Chisame later revisits this day, she'll find herself somewhat shameful of that… but for some reason she clearly remember that she heard something inside crash into pieces…
> > > > > > > > > >
"A-And so… I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR!" Negi exclaims to his class as he bowed at the waist. Soon, the entire class of 2-A, soon to be 3-A, erupts into cheers as all the students congratulate the child.
"SEE YOU THEN NEGI-SENSEI!"
"OVER HERE! LOOK OVER HERE!"
"NEGI-KUN IS SOOOOOO COOL!"
"AYCHA! NEGI-KUN!"
'…Damn brat…' Chisame thought as her left eye brow twitch none stop.
"Ma, this is amusing." Evangeline says as she rests her face on her hands. She smirks as the group of students swoon, which soon turn into a striping race as the child once again tries to fend off his class. "Hehe, I'm looking forward to the next year…"
"What was that?" Sarah asks teasingly, knowing full well what she'd say. But hey, it's so much more enjoyable to see the legendary Undying Mage blush like a school girl.
"N-NOTHING!"
"Mou, Eva-nee-sama is blushing!" Yuki says in amazement as the blonde girl just covered her cheeks in her hands.
"Hmm… youth…" Kamo mumbled as he smoke on a chocolate cigarette, which was later snatched away by the small elf. "H-HEY!"
"Smoking is bad Kamo-san! Please consider the health of those around you! …Even if it is only chocolate…" Yuki says as she tossed the offending object out the window.
"Hey, what's her deal?" Sarah suddenly asks as she points to a certain girl with a glasses perched on her nose.
"Hmm? Chisame? Oh, she's just like that." Evangeline says as she watches Yuki continuing to scold Kamo about the danger of smoking. "…She thinks of herself as normal… you should see what she does in her private life… hehehe…"
"Private life… when did you become a stalker?" Sarah tease as she receives a strike on the head via a giant paper fan.
FLAP! "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT IDEA!"
Meanwhile, that certain girl is seizing inside her mind as she grits her teeth. 'WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? HE DID NOTHING! HE EVEN SKIPS CLASS!' Chisame mentally shouts as chibi-Chisame went on a rampage inside her mind. 'I mean, is it even okay to have a ten year old as a teacher! This is totally contradictory to productivity! What kind of joke is this!' Just then, something caught her attention.
"Sensei! You're only ten years old right? And it's not normal to have a ten year old as a teacher right?" Fuuka suddenly asks as she held her hand up to gain attention. "Sensei! I have a suggestion!"
'Hmm… yes, that's what I'm looking for!' Chisame thought as her mood lifted up considerably. 'I was RIGHT! It is TRUE! Go on… say some more…' Chisame mentally encouraged as she nodded to herself.
"Um…" Fumika takes her spot beside her sister as she started to sweat a little.
"So Fumika and I have a suggestion!" Fuuka continues as a big smile appears on her face. "…WHY DON'T' WE HAVE A 'WE-GOT-SECOND-PLACE' CEREMONY!"
"GOOD IDEA!" Sakurako says as she suddenly appears behind Fuuka.
"LET'S DO IT!" Yuna shouts as she pumps a fist into the air.
"EVERYONE THAT HAS SPARE TIME GATHER ON THE LAWN AT THE FRONT OF THE SCHOOL!" Makie exclaims as she waves her arms around wildly. And so, with all this shouting, they never notice a certain girl face faulting and plant her head into the desk with a resounding BAM! …At least most didn't anyway. The hacker just barely restrains herself from rushing over and smacks their heads.
'THAT HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOU WERE SAYING BEFORE!' Chisame mentally yelled as chibi-Chisame cried on the floor. 'WHY IS EVERYONE CELEBRATING! THIS DAMN CLASS JUST DRAGS ME ALONG ALL THE TIME!' Chisame is shaking so hard that Yue, who's sitting besides her, starts to edge away from the 'strange' girl.
"Huh?" Negi caught the shaking, and so he advanced towards the girl. "What's wrong Hasegawa-san? Have you got a cold?"
'…WHY HIM!' "No…" Chisame instantly answered as she puts on a smile… a very forced one. "It's just… um… ah…" Suddenly standing up, she gathered her things with lighting speed and promptly marched out the door. "I have a stomach ache. I'm going back to the dorm."
"…interesting…" Sarah says with a calculating look before she turns her attention back to the group of girls that once again starts to stripe her charge. "Hmm… nothing unusual I guess…" A high pitch scream appeared in the background, making the caretaker sweat drop. "And I thought that was taken care of…"
> > > > > > > > > >
'…This class is just too damn weird!' Chisame thought as chibi-Chisame starts to pull chibi version of people into a mental picture. From the left to right: Mana, Narutaki twin, Choa Linshen, Ku Fei, Kaede, Evangeline, Zazie, and finally, Sarah. 'There are way too many foreigners! And there are also high rates of people repeating last year… IT'S LIKE A FREAKING KINDERGARDEN!' Chisame shouts mentally as chibi-Chisame boots the groups away and pull Chachamaru into the picture. 'AND WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THAT ROBOT! WHY DOESN'T ANYONE FIND IT STRANGE! IT'S A ROBOT! A GODDAMNED ROBOT!'
Taking a few breaths to calm herself down, Chisame's mind wonder off to another place as chibi-Chisame pulls a certain ermine into the picture. 'And what's with that pet…? I'm certain that it talked before… and what is that little doll… correction, elf doing in Sarah's pocket!' Chibi-Chisame pulled said elf, Yuki, into the picture as she puts things together. 'HAVEN'T ANYONE NOTICED BEFORE! ELVES AREN'T SUPPOSED TO EXIST AND ERMINES AREN'T SUPPOSED TO TALK!'
'Next issue…' Chisame thought as chibi-Chisame huff and puff and dragged Sarah into the picture. 'What's with her? I clearly remembering her jumping out of the window from the building and land like it's nothing. I also recall seeing her running onto walls when she thought no one is looking… WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO ANYWAY!'
Just then, chibi-Chisame decides to drag the main problem back with a hooked cain, which causes the big Chisame to grab her head and pull at her hair. 'AND… AND THAT KID! IS HE REALLY TEN YEARS OLD! THIS SUCKS! WHERE DID MY NORMAL LIFE GO!'
"HASEGAWA-SAN!" A voice shouts from the distance, causing Chisame to freeze in her steps and curse her luck.
'Speak of the devil…' Turning around, Chisame puts on her indifferent face before asking, "What do you want?" 'How did he catch up to me…? I know he didn't ride the train from school… I JUST GOT OFF THAT TRAIN!'
"HAH! HAH! Ha…h. You said… that your stomach hurts right?" Negi asks after he catches his breath. Receiving a nod and a blank look, Negi produce a small bag of pills from his pocket. "Here's some medicine from my grandfather. It's very effective!"
"…no thanks…" Chisame says as chibi-Chisame points an accusing finger at the ermine and a certain 'doll' puking out from Negi's pocket. "It's gone now…" 'WHO DOES HE THINKS HE IS!'
'A kid genius that happens to be teaching your English class.' Chibi-Chisame chipped before she was slammed by an imaginary hammer, courtesy of a very pissed hacker.
"Ah… um… aren't you coming to the party?"
"I try not to surround myself with weird people. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way."
"Hmm… and I thought everyone is normal…" Negi mumble, making Chisame freeze as her left arm starts to rise. Realizing what's happening, Chisame puts her right hand onto the left arm and restrained it.
'DANGER! DANGER!' Chibi-Chisame shouts as she ducks under a hole with a helmet on her head.
'No… I'm not going to hit him… NOT. GOING. TO. HIT. HIM!' Deciding that her options were running out, Chisame did the best thing, she ran…
"Eh? AH! MATTE! YOU'RE COLD AFTER ALL!" Negi shouts as he also starts to run after the shaking girl. Except who says she's shaking from a cold?
"I AM NOT!"
"Then… um… alcohol poisoning?" Negi suggested innocently as Chisame somehow tripped and fall face first. Getting back up, the hacker dusts herself off before clearing her throat… and…
"I DON'T EVEN DRINK! AND I'M NOT DRINKING AGE EITHER!" Chisame exclaims as she charge up the stairs, into her room, and slam her door before the child teacher can follow her inside. "AAAAAAAHH!" The girl exclaims as she let all her frustration out by yanking her hair tie hard, causing all her orange hair to spill onto her back. Walking over to her desk, which is full of computer stuff, she pushed the power button as the screen lit up.
"THIS IS SO WRONG!" Chisame exclaims as she tap her foot impatiently. "THIS ISN'T NORMAL SCHOOL LIFE!" Rushing into the bathroom, the girl starts to pull out all sorts of make up. "I'm going to sing to the public… ABOUT THIS REDICULOUS SCHOOL! I'M GOING TO SHOW THAT DAMN BRAT…!" The orange-haired girl pauses as she applies some lip stick. "…WHAT BEING LOVED IS ALL ABOUT!"
Next she rushed to her closet and pulled out an outfit. Quickly striping off her uniform, she changed into that other outfit and started to put on all sorts of cute accessories. "ALRIGHT!" Facing a body length mirror, Chisame did a spin and a cute pose. "OK! 'CHIU' IS PRETTY AS EVER-PYO!"
'Chiu' smiled in satisfaction as the mirror shows a completely different girl. One that looks beautiful and doesn't look as if she's pulling her hair and screaming just a few seconds ago. Walking to the desk, she turns on the monitor and rests her chin on her hands. Once the monitor fully opens, she starts to type in a website and then signed in with her account. Opening a chat room within second, Chisame, or Chiu, cracked her fingers and started to type…
"Hello! How is mina-san doing! Something really annoying had happened today." Chisame says as she typed the message and presses enter. "We got some hentai teaching the class. And all he does is perv on me!" Pressing enter again, she smirk as responses instantly starts to pop out.
Barely able to contain her glee after reading some of the messages, she starts to type again. "EEK! No, that's not true!" Pressing enter, Chisame suddenly has an idea in mind. "But thank you everyone! And as for the thanks, I'm going to let you guys see my new costume!" Rushing into the closet again, Chisame quickly changed into a set of sailor uniform and poses in front of a camera. "Just an ordinary school girl! But behind that innocent face…" After it took a picture, she quickly strips and reveals a bunny suit, with a pair of white gloves, a fluffy tail, and a pair of bunny ears. "IS THE NUMBER ONE HACKER IDOL WHO RULES THE INTERNET!"
Snapping a photo of herself, Chiu quickly went to the computer. Loading the picture out, she uses Photoshop and quickly edited the photo: making her breasts bigger, waist thinner and hip more profound, but cuter. After uploading it via PTP, Chisame beams with pride as tears of joy leaks from her eyes. "TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY BEAUTY BOYS!" 'Ah… this is bliss… what a great feeling…'
Taking a look at the chart, Chisame cheer mentally as she once again burry the others by a great margin. "ALRIGHT! OUT OF ALL THE NET IDOLS! I'M RANKED #1 BY A WIDE MARGIN! I'M THE QUEEN! THE ONE WITH THE MOST CHARISMA OUT OF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD! ALL THE BOYS WILL BOW BEFORE ME!"
"…Excuse me…"
'And that goes for that annoying kid too!' Chisame thought with a smirk, ignoring chibi-Chisame, who's flashing warning sign to tell her to stop. 'He won't ever catch on… hehe!'
"Err… hello?"
'That way, I can avoid its dangers… I won't stand out in the real world or cause a fuss…' Chiu continues to think as chibi-Chisame gives up and sigh. "I'll be at the top of the 'other' world instead… that's my stance…"
"Ano…" A voice called, finally catching Chisame's attention. "Hasegawa-san…?"
'Eh…?' Turning around, Chisame's jaw drops as right behind her stands no other than Negi Springfield and Sarah D. McDocland. "IIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!"
"Gomen… the door was open so…" Negi tries to explain as he shiver from the glare Sarah sent at him. "Sarah-san already went into a rampage about that… so please don't be mad…"
Looking towards her door, and sure enough, Chisame finds it open. Thinking that it's just her imagination, she puts on her glasses and blink a few times, only to realize that it's all real. 'D-D-D-Did he sees me…? THIS IS MY SECRET!' Falling out of the chair, she starts to do a dramatic pose as a spot light appears out of nowhere and shine on her. 'I… I've got to get rid of him…! I need a weapon! A blunt one!' Just then, another thought enters her mind, 'The students will laugh… It's over…'
"Wow… Hasegawa-san, is this you?" Negi asks as he looks at the scream, making Chisame pause in her track of dumping a gigantic carrot onto the kid.
"Hmm… quite beautiful if I may add." Sarah says as she also studied the pictures on Chisame's monitors.
'…Of course, who do you two think I am? I'm the #1 net idol after all!' Just then, chibi-Chisame waves something at her. 'Hmm… and of course, I did the entire complex editing on them too… arigatou ne chibi-chan!'
"Gomen!" Sarah suddenly says as she yanks Chisame's glasses off her.
"EEK!"
"Wow… sugoi… you're ever prettier without all that make up!" Negi says as Sarah marvel at the blushing girl with a teasing smile.
"Hmm… why are you blushing eh?"
'Because she's enjoying the spot light! EEP!' Chibi-chan chipped about before she's slammed into the ground by a mallet this time. 'OKAY! I'LL SHUT UP!'
"Eh? Wh… um…" Chisame could only mumble as her face heat up even more. Just then an idea simultaneously pops into the duo's head. They share a look, completely understanding on another, and nod.
"Ne, come on." Sarah says as she starts to usher the girl outside.
"H-Hey! W-wait!"
"Let's join the others ne? Everyone is waiting Hasegawa-san!" Negi says with a heart flowing out at the end as he opens the door and dash out with Chisame's glasses in toll.
"H-HEY! CHOTTO MATTE!" The girl gasp as her only pair of glasses was looped by a brat. "G-GIVE ME BACK MY GLASSES! I CAN'T SEE WITHOUT THEM!"
"Eh? YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM BACK!" Negi sang as he tosses the glasses, making Chisame's heart skip a beat, only to sigh as Sarah caught them.
"ONEGAI! GIVE THEM BACK! BESIDES! I HATE THAT PARTY!"
"NOPE! CAN'T DO THAT!" Sarah cooed before she tossed the glasses back at Negi.
"P-PLEASE GIVE THEM BACK! AND WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!"
"I-ISN'T IT OKAY FOR JUST TODAY?" Negi asks with a smile as he tosses the glasses back to his caretaker.
"MOU! I CAN'T SEE THEM WITHOUT MY GLASSES!" Chisame is close to tears as she switches her course to chasing the caretaker, completely ignorant to how much they'd ran. Just then, the unexpected happens. Before Chisame knows it, Sarah stops, causing her to bump into the taller girl, making Chisame looses her balance. With a shriek, she close her eyes as she prepares for the pain, only to feel an arm snake itself around her waist. Opening her eyes, she gasps as Sarah's face is only a few centimeters from hers.
"Now that's a shame." The caretaker says with half-lid eyes as she advances a little more, causing Chisame to blush. "Why would a beautiful girl like you want to hide your face with them all the time?" Without warning, Sarah picked the girl bridle style, emitting another shriek from the girl. Of course, she puts the glasses back onto the girl's face with a smile. "And just look… I mean, the weather is nice ne?"
"Ah… um…"
"COME ON! TIMES A WASTING!" Negi says with a heart flowing out as he circles around the two girls.
"…" With the sigh, Chisame motion for Sarah to put her down. With out any question, the taller girl did as instructed and starts to usher the shorter one forward. '…Mataku… oh well, it IS the closing ceremony… might as well accompany these weirdoes for the day.' Chisame thought as she shifts some hair behind her ears. She stifled some giggle as Negi jumps onto Sarah's back in excitement, making the reddish-blonde squeak in surprise before she rewards him with a fist in the head. '…Oh well… might as well enjoy it…'
"Well, LET'S GO!" Sarah suddenly says as she grab onto the girl's left arm.
"COME ON! THEY'RE WAITING!" Negi shouts as he grabs onto Chisame's right arm. The two starts to drag the surprised girl forward. Of course, Chisame, being Chisame, didn't go reluctantly.
"CH-CH-CH-CHOTTO! AT LEAST LET ME CHANGE!" The orange-haired girl squeaked in alarm as she notices just how close they are to the campus. 'WHY ARE THOSE TWO SO STRONG!'
"GOMEN! WE'RE LATE!" Sarah and Negi chorused, both having a proud smile on their faces as they dragged Chisame into the center of the party.
"MA! SENSEI YOU'RE LATE!" Fuuka exclaims as Fumika yelled in agreement.
"Eh? Who's that girl?" Makie asks as she suddenly noticed the blushing girl. Soon, most of the class also noticed the girl and starts to marvel at her.
"Sugoi! SHE'S SO CUTE!" Misa exclaims as she latch herself onto Chisame's back.
"EEP! W-WHA?"
"Don't tell me… it's sensei's secret girlfriend?" Choa says as she raises an eye brow at the blushing kid.
"Nope… keep guessing!" Sarah sang as she grabs the nearly terrified girl and pulled her over.
"Wow… is she your sister?" Misora ask as she looks at the girls, only to get a stunned look and a shake of head.
"NOPE"
"Err… I-I need my glasses after all…" Chisame whispered terrified as she tries to hide her face. Except that she has Sarah restricting her left arm, so only her right side can do anything about it.
'Daijobou! Just sit back and relax! EEP! BAM!'
"Daijobou!" Sarah whispered back as she points around her. "Besides, why would you want to hide your beauty like that?"
"I… err… that is… AAAH!" Chisame suddenly yank herself away and rushed to the child teacher's side. "SENSEI! I NEED MY GLASSES!"
"EH!" Negi exclaims in surprise as a hand reached into his pocket and fished out a pair of glasses.
"Masaka…!" Asuna suddenly says as the mysterious girl unfolds the glasses and puts them onto her face. "C-C-C-CHISAME!"
Just then, Negi sneezed…
"ACHOO!"
"EH!" Chisame exclaims as her bunny suit was destroyed by a strange wind… well, most of it anyway.
"GOOD JOB ANIKI!" Kamo suddenly exclaims, only to have a metallic cross slam into his head.
"ERO-KAMO! CLOSE YOUR EYES!" Yuki shrieked, but no one paid attention to those two, nor did they hear them, for they tried to digest this new piece of information.
"Eh? It's Hasegawa-san…"
"IT'S CHISAME-CHAN! IT REALLY IS CHISAME-CHAN!"
"THAT WAS AN AWESOME TRICK!"
"WOW!"
"CHISAME-CHAN IS A HENTAI!"
"I-I-I-I-I DON'T KNOW ANYONE NAMED HASEGAWA! STAY AWAY FROM ME!"
"…Err… H-Hasegawa-san…" Negi mumbled as he felt someone looming over him in a threatening way… make that two…
BONK! SMACK!
'One day… I'm really going to kill him…' Chisame thought as the corner of her lips continues to twitch. As for Negi… well, he's lying on the ground face down while two smoking bumps adorn his head.
"G-gomen…"
> > > > > > > > > >
Later that day… inside Asuna's dorm room…
"…T-that is the worst day of my life!" Chisame says as she sobs into Sarah's shoulder. The other girl just pat her back soothingly as she chuckle sheepishly. After they got another outfit, which thankfully wasn't a uniform, the little group had returned to the party… although the others wouldn't let Chisame live it down. And that's pretty much where the problems lie.
"Ma, look at it this way. At least now they know you're pretty ne?" The caretaker says as she continues to make soothing circles on Chisame's back.
"D-demo…!"
"Daijobou!" Asuna reassured the girl as she dragged a sleeping Negi over to the sofa.
"Aycha! Chi-chan! Don't cry!" Konoka says as she appeared behind Sarah and patted Chisame's head. "Beside, you really are beautiful!"
"Honto!" Chisame asks as she peers at Konoka from her cover, AKA Sarah's shoulder.
"That means the glasses got to go!" The air-headed girl suddenly sang as she yanked the glasses out of Chisame's hand. "YOINK!"
"H-HEY!"
"Ma, after stripping that exterior, Chisame isn't bad at all." Asuna comments as she watches Konoka running around giggling with a frantic Chisame chasing her. All the while, Yuki had position herself on the table and pretend to be a doll while Kamo decides to crawl himself up and lie next to Yuki, snoring away the day.
"Mm… not everything is what they appeared at face value…" Sarah says with a smile before she sits next to Negi and puts his head onto her lap. "Just take Eva-chan as an example."
"…damn… that's sneaky…"
"Thank you." Stroking Negi's hair, Sarah smiles as she watches Chisame chase Konoka around. After only one day, Sarah had concluded that, while being indifferent most of the time, Chisame is really just a 'façade'. The real her is probably a mix between Chiu and Chisame. Chiu is just an escape from the world. But then… that doesn't explain why sometimes she felt as if a chibi-version of Chisame is dancing/cursing/bawling/doing what ever it is that she does behind her… 'Just a fabric of my imagination I guess…'
"Wow… I didn't expect to find this…" A voice says, catching Asuna and Sarah's attention as they turn around to find Evangeline and Chachamaru standing by the door.
"HEHEHE! CATCH ME IF YOU CAN CHI-CHAN!"
"GIVE THAT BACK! AND DON'T CALL ME CHI-CHAN!"
"…Well, this really isn't something you see everyday." Evangeline comments with a disbelieving face on as Chachamaru gives a small bow.
"Ma, what do you need?" Asuna asks the shorter girl, gaining a half-hearted glare before its owner slowly walks over to Sarah.
"…Just stopping by." The blonde girl says, although a voice inside keeps calling her a liar. "Besides, I'm just here to relax."
"Eh?" Asuna asks before she finally noticed the doll that's 'sitting' on Chachamaru's head. "…"
"Well, make yourselves at home…" Sarah says before Evangeline sits down next to her and lean her head against her shoulder.
"…You two are really close ne?" Asuna asks as she sweats drops when Konoka dashed out the door, following by a frantic Chisame. Closing the door gently, Chachamaru walks further into the room before she stops just behind Asuna.
"…Master has a long history with Sarah-san… she's part of the reason of how master is here in the first place." Chachamaru says as she turns her eyes over to her mistress purring like a cat as Sarah stroke her hair.
"You make that sound as if that's a bad thing." Sarah says with a chuckle as she continues to stroke both her charge and her friend. "…one more thing, you guys are going to Kyoto."
"Oh? Honto! YATTA!" Asuna cheered before she noticed what Sarah says. "Wait! Back up! What do you mean by 'you guys'?"
"…Sarah isn't going." Evangeline says with an eye half open and lazily look at Asuna.
"…Eh?" The baka red says as she tilts her head in confusion.
"…Sarah-san isn't planning to leave with Asuna-san and Negi-sensei during the school trip." Chachamaru says before she reaches up and lift the doll off her. Walking over to the glass table, she gently set it onto the surface, where Kamo is sleeping while Yuki uses him as a giant pillow.
"Well, I say that Sarah decides to stay because of master!" The doll, Chachazero, suddenly says, making Asuna jumps three feet into the air… Which, my friends, is very impressive since she was sitting on a chair.
"T-t-t-t-that thing just talked!" Asuna says as she points an accusing finger at the always smiling puppet.
"Of course I did you dumb truck!" Chachazero exclaimed, and if she could wave her arms, she'll be doing that like a madman. "Grrrr… if only I could move… Why did you have to be cursed master?"
"…it's not my fault!" The blonde vampire whispered with a small blush as Sarah giggles with a knowing look.
"It's because she can't help but keep following a certain man!" Sarah says and giggles even more as her oldest friend bolted up right and gaped at her before she scowled a playful pout. (RSP: is that even possible?)
"Traitor!" Evangeline says as she launches herself forward and starts to pull at the caretaker's cheeks.
"AH! EBA-CHEN! BOU KNOP BIT'S TRUE!" Sarah says as she let her cheeks gets abused by a blushing vampire. Said vampire just 'hmph'-ed and turned away with a cute pout. "Anyway, back to business. The reason why I decided not to go is partially because of Eva-chan, but also partially because it's good for him."
"Please enlighten me on exactly how that'll help him." Asuna says as she planted herself back into the chair and rested her chin against a hand.
"Ara? I didn't know you knew big words like 'enlighten'." Sarah teased, which earned her a painful meeting with Asuna's flying boot before she raised her arms in defeat. SMACK! "I'm joking! Still, it's good for him is because it's a learning opportunity."
"…Negi-sensei may want to be a great mage… but constantly having someone over shadowing him isn't good." Chachamaru says in her monotone before she turns her head and regarded the baka red. "…Besides, constantly living under the shadow of Nagi-san and Sarah-san hindered his growth a bit… Isn't that right master?"
"Hai… that's completely correct." Evangeline says and sigh as she caught the confused light in Asuna's face. "You know why boya was constantly living under his father's shadow. Being the son of one of the most powerful men on earth placed several high expectations on him. I'm surprised that he hasn't snapped under all the pressure most people put on him."
"Then how does Sarah over shadow him?" Asuna asks them as she eye the caretaker with narrow eyes. "…I can't see how someone like her over shadows him…"
"…You really are dumb." Chachazero says, earning a death glare from Asuna… which didn't affect her at all. "To start things off, Sarah D. McDocland is one of the strongest in the mage's ranks. She can be on par with Nagi Springfield, who in himself is a monstrosity… even if he's limited in the amount of spells he knows."
"And to top that off, Sarah is constantly with him ever since Nekane entrusted her to her little brother." The blonde vampire says as she continues with Chachazero's explanation. Sitting up straight, she glances sideways at the caretaker, who up till this point had remained silent while continuing to look at her charge fondly. "…It hinders him because when ever situation arrives, depending on how severe it is, Sarah will jump in. If things get really out of hand, Sarah will immediately eliminate the threats or simply drag boya out of there." Pausing, Evangeline tilted her head as she looked up towards the ceiling while putting a finger on her chin. "Coming to think of it… Boya wasn't even aware of at least half of those situations…"
"…What could be so bad that he doesn't even know half of them?" Asuna asks as her eyes follow the caretaker, who decides to put her charge into his bunk before returning to her seat.
"…Negi-sensei, being the son of Nagi Springfield, has a lot of enemies. He may not be aware of it, but most people, who believe his father to have passed away, tend to put what his father started onto him." Chachamaru says as she looks at the sleeping Negi. Turning back, the robot continues in her monotone, "Since most of them carries a grudge against Nagi-san in one form or another, they looked at Negi-sensei as a way to revenge."
"…That means…" Asuna gasps as her eyes widen at the implication.
"Hai… there were assassination attempts on him before." Evangeline says with a grim face.
"That's horrible!" Asuna exclaims as she cover her mouth with a hand. "What about her sister?"
"Nekane… there were also thoughts of attempt assassination… keyword being thought." Sarah, who'd being quiet all the way, suddenly spoke up, surprising the baka red. "But at that time, that idiot was still 'alive'… and also, her mother was with her."
"Negi's mother… how is she like? And what do you mean by 'was'?"
"…Their mother was pretty much a split image of Nekane… or it's more like the other way around. To get a better idea, just picture Nekane herself somewhat older, taller, and thinner." Sarah says with a fond smile as while as sadness in her once empty eyes. "…And being 'was', it's because after Negi was born, she somehow… just disappeared."
"Eh?" Asuna gasps as her brain registered the information. "You mean she just disappeared?"
"…Hai… although the doctors said that she died by difficult birth, many mages believe that there was an attempt on her and that she was kidnapped." Chachamaru says as she walked over to stand besides her master.
"She… was a woman of high political power all over the world… however, being a mage herself, no one but the top most governmental members know about her." Sarah says as she lowers her head a little. "Of course, she's also a very funny woman and mother…"
"Ka-chan!" A small Nekane exclaims as she jumped into a woman's arm. "Sarah was being mean!"
"That is not true!" Sarah exclaims as she stormed over to the duo. Nekane immediately sought shelter behind her mother before sticking her tongue out. "Why you! GET BACK HERE!"
"EEEK! KA-CHAN! GET BIG-BAD VAMPY AWAY!" Nekane screams as she starts to run circles around her mother with the caretaker not far behind, comical tears pour from her eyes as sweat beads pour off her in her panicked state.
"Fufufu, you two never seize to amaze me…" The woman says before she scoops up Nekane and flicked Sarah on the forehead. "But you two should behave yourselves!"
"Yes ma'am…" Sarah and Nekane mumbles, with the former glaring at the latter while the latter smiling smugly at the former.
"Heh… c'mon. I'm making your favorite for tonight's dinner." The woman says as she lightly tap Nekane's nose, emitting a few giggles from the girl before she turns towards Sarah. "Would you mind helping me? I'm sure Nekane won't mind."
"AH! KA-CHAN! SHE'LL TRY TO POISON ME!" Nekane exclaims as she turns on her puppy eyes, which has no affect on her mother whatsoever.
"Hmm… I'll take that into consideration." Sarah says with a teasing smile as she sticks her tongue out at a sobbing Nekane.
"Oh dear, oh dear! You two are so alike!"
"NO WE'RE NOT! SHE'S EVIL!" The two exclaims as they both point an accusing finger at the other, both sharing the same pout and the same biddy eyes and the same steam coming out of their ears… oh if they only knew. Of course, the woman just giggles knowingly before she slowly leads the way toward their house.
"…Yup, she was fun all right." Sarah says with a sad smile as she remembered the 'good' old days… while, not so good if you consider in one certain little blonde devil. (APH: NOT EVA-CHAN! DON'T HURT ME PLEASE!)
"…Soka… it's a shame…" Asuna says as she some understanding of the situation dawned upon her. "…I guess they never found her?"
"No… although many believe that it was an attempt; no one bothers to search for her…" Evangeline says as she scratches her chin. "Actually, some of them are even glad that she's gone."
"Still, back to the issue at hand!" Sarah suddenly changed moods as she clapped her hands a little too cheerfully. "Asuna, while you guys are in Kyoto, please protect Negi-sama and Konoka-san."
"Eh? Negi I understand, but why Konoka?" Asuna asks, deciding to ignore the sudden change of mood by the taller girl after catching a glance from Evangeline. 'Must be sensitive matters… oh well…'
"Mm… it's difficult to say… but you'll eventually understand." The caretaker says with a wink before she got up. "Now if you don't mind… I think I'll go join my little Negi-sama… literally."
"…" Asuna blushes as she notices the meaning of those words… or at least she thinks she did.
"Oh you dumb truck! She's just going to sleep beside him." Chachazero says before she starts to curse the stupidity of human race.
"…I apologize for the intrusion…" Chachamaru suddenly says as she notices the time. "But we should be going. Sarah's order on how master's sleeping habit should change."
"Mou! Can't you just let me off the hook!" Eva says as she whines at her robotic servant.
"…My most sincere apology… but Sarah's order I cannot ignore. Beside master, it's good for you."
"Hmph! Fine…" Evangeline says, surprising Asuna with the level of obedience the shorter girl shows as the trio (with Chachazero of course…) leaves the dorm room.
'…I guess Sarah really plays a big part in her life.'
"Aycha! Weren't those Eva-chan and Chacha-chan?" Konoka asks as she renter the room, having had her fun with Chisame. With both of them tired, they decide to cut the game and just go back to their room.
"Hai…" Sarah says as she comes out of the bathroom in her pajamas. "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to sleep." With that said, Sarah slowly heads for Negi's bunk, emitting a gasp from Konoka.
"Are you two…?"
"NO!" Asuna and Sarah exclaims before they share a knowing glance. "But that isn't something you're brain would understand." Asuna tease as she lightly knocks on Konoka's head.
"Mou! That's so mean!"
"I know… now go to sleep. I've still got delivery tomorrow."
"Hai…" Konoka says with a beaming smile as she heads inside the bathroom to change. '…I wonder what were they walking about…? Probably nothing of much importance.' And with that, another day in the life of the class of 2-A soon-to-be 3-A comes to and end…

WARNING: COMPLETE RANDOMNESS!
A few years ago… during the great wizard war. Nagi Springfield stormed into their hide out. Sarah, the only occupant at the moment, looks up from her reading and raise an eye brow.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE MY NEIGHBOR! HE'S SO RUDE!" Nagi exclaims as steams puff out of his ears… literally.
"Okay… what did he do?" The vampire asks as she cross her arms under her chest.
Taking a deep breath, the wizard calms himself down before starting his explanation, "He was knocking on the door in 3 AM! AND HE'S DOING IT PRETTY HARD TOO!"
"Uh-huh… and what did you do?"
"Well… I just went back to play my piano…"
Silence ensured as the vampire just stare at the wizard, who in turn, is smiling smuggly. Then, the predictable happend.
"…SMACK! Idiot…" Sarah all but growled out as she storms away from the twitching wizard on the ground.
"W-what did I do t-this time?"
