Chapter Seven: Questions and Answers

---

The day has already passed since Evangeline's attempt (and failure) to achieve her freedom. Since then, she readily, but reluctantly, attended class; much to Negi's delight. After class was over, we find Negi and Asuna walking around the campus as the boy himself thanked his student for helping out with Evangeline's advance. To show his thanks, Negi suggested if he could do something for her, to which Asuna asked for coffee, Chamo adding an espresso while the boy was at it.

Chamo then asked about the Provisional Contract the duo made the night before until they met up with the last person (or people) they wanted to meet.

"Urgh, it's you two…" Evangeline muttered with a bored tone and irritated look as Chachamaru merely bowed in respect.

After exchanging greetings, Asuna held a sly grin towards Evangeline's direction. "So…" She started. "I heard that you were in love with Negi's dad?"

Evangeline spit-took her coffee before grabbing Negi by the collars. "Y-y-you bastard! So you DID look into my dreams that time!" She accused as Negi apologize over and over again.

"Is that true, Master?" Chachamaru asked as Evangeline yelled, "You shut up!" Huffing and calming down a bit, she muttered, "The bastard's dead anyway… 10 years ago… Hmph, he promised to lift my curse before I graduate, and look what happened. 15 years already passed, and my hopes of getting freed crushed into bits…" Once again, the huff was heard. "I don't blame him for dying. The spell he used to seal me into this school is fairly strong and there hasn't been anyone stronger than that bastard in years to lift it up. Thus why I'm stuck with this boorish school life…" She complained, taking a sip of her coffee. "That idiot…"

"Hey, Negi, didn't you say you met your dad 6 years ago?" Asuna asked as Negi nodded. "E-evangeline-san! Um, ano, well, s-6 years ago, I met my gather! I too have met the Thousand Master!"

"What?" Evangeline's attention has been poked, and it is Negi's duty to pierce it. "What are you talking about! He died 10 years ago! You should've been in a womb by that time! Did you go talk to his grave or his dead body?"

"N-no! I, uh, I mean, err, everyone kept telling me that Father died before my birth, but… uh… well, 6 years ago, when my village was attacked, I met with father and he saved me… I'm sure of it." Holding out his staff, Negi said, "This staff is the only proof I have of having met my Father. He personally gave it to me…" Negi smiled. "That is why I want to meet him! That is why I want to become a Magister Magi!"

Looking up, Negi was shocked to see tears flowing out of Evangeline's green eyes. "The Thousand… Master is… alive…?" Staring at Negi, she repeated, "Are you telling me that the Thousand Master is still alive!"

Suddenly, she starting laughing, catching everyone's attention. "Ahahahahaha, I see, I see! So he's alive after all! Hahaha, unbelievable!" She slapped her thighs. "He's just the kind of man you just can't kill! Hahaha!"

"Yo. So what's this I hear about you crushing on Negi's dad, Evangeline?" Ichigo asked, having found the group by coincidence. A confused look was on Ichigo's face when Evangeline once more strangled the young Mage in pure anger. After ordering coffee he found Evangeline staring intently at him this time. "What?" He asked, his scowl growing.

"I have a query… what was that Magic you used back at the bridge?" The Witch asked, catching everyone's attention. "Ah, that's right! Kurosaki-san, that Magic was incredible!" Negi shouted in admiration, "Allowing yourself to change your form and cover yourself with Magic! It was brilliant! I wonder… if I could be able to do the same with my own Magic…"

As Negi peered on his thoughts, Ichigo only looked confused. "Magic? That wasn't Magic."

"Hah! No use fooling me, Kurosaki. I know Magic when I see one, and that was definitely Magic."

"Yeah, I'm kinda curious at what you did too, Ichigo-sensei," Asuna added as Ichigo ticked his eye. "Look, I know you guys are more into this Magic fiasco than I am, but I know my own ability, and I'm saying it's not Magic!"

"But is it a Pactio is what I'm asking," Chamo interjected, Ichigo staring at the ferret (ERMINE!) with pure curiosity and nostalgia. Asuna blushed, remembering the needs for making a Pactio as Evangeline raised a brow. "That's a good point, Rodent…"

"I'm an ermine."

"What's the difference?" She huffed once more. "So? Who did you do it with to make the Pactio?"

"Pactio? What's that?" Ichigo asked, gaining ridiculed looks. "Don't give me that look. I know that "pactio" is Latin for some sort of "contract", but I never made one with anyone nor did I do that… whatever requirements it needed to make it," The only other orange head in the group said with an irritated tone.

"The requirements? There are plenty. The most popular one is the kind Bouya and Kagurazaka did the other night," Evangeline explained bluntly, pointing at the boy and girl, the latter who was blushing. Ichigo thought back to the incident, remembering the shining light around Asuna and Negi as the two…

… Oh~.

"Oh… HELL NO!" Ichigo roared, making everyone in the café flinch at his voice. Looking around before lowering his voice, Ichigo hissed, "I did NOT kiss anyone! Never did! Never will! At least, not yet…" He added the last part with a whisper as Evangeline grinned. "So, Kurosaki here is already a college graduate with a college degree at such a young age, and yet… is still a virgin even with the lips?" She asked with an amused tone while Ichigo's ears grew hot in embarrassment.

"Oh Kami, it's like dealing with Yoruichi-san all over again…!" Ichigo mentally groaned with a hand over his face as Chamo snickered at the blackmail. Oh the things he can gain with a fully grown male at his side.

"Ah, that reminds me! Evangeline-san, do you know any clues to how we can find the Thousand Master!" Negi suddenly asked as Ichigo raised a brow. "Thousand Master? Who's that?"

Evangeline mused on for a bit. "Hmm, not at the moment…"

Negi sighed with dejection. "I suppose this staff is the only clue we have then…" He muttered.

Evangeline blinked. "Kyōto," She muttered.

"H-hai?"

"In Kyōto, there was a house where he lived for a while. If the rumors of his death are false, then clues may be found there," She hinted as Negi took on a lighter face, before it fell again. "K-Kyōto…? The famous Japanese city…ēto, where was it again? This is no good. I have to teach the class, but then I don't have the time or money to travel…" He muttered to himself as Ichigo sighed.

"Kyōto… Sounds good, huh, Ichigo-sensei?" Asuna asked Ichigo as he shrugged. "Never been to Kyōto before," He responded. Looking at the two shorter kids, he raised a brow as Negi yelled at his student about biting him. "S-stop biting me!"

"Aw, come on. Take it as payment for the information…" Evangeline tried to reason, to which Negi retorted, "EH!"

---

The next day, Class 3-D were wondering what was wrong with their Homeroom teacher as Ichigo blankly looked off into space, thinking about what Negi will do in order to get to Kyōto. Shaking the thought out of his head, he reassured his students that he's alright. It didn't really help when they had to constantly ask if he was really alright, to which he retorted that he wouldn't be here today if he wasn't, making the girls giggle.

Chuckling himself, he noticed that one desk was missing a student so he checked up on the roster for who the missing student was.

"Hinamori Momo…"

There was a slight pause in his mind as he thought, "Haven't I heard this name before…?" Before he could muse on further, the bell rang and Ichigo started class.

The class went by smoothly and before Ichigo knew it, school was over for the day. "That went pretty fast…" He mused with himself, walking down the road. Looking further down, he noticed Negi along with Asuna and Konoka, the former of the duo seemingly blushing. Negi was in his usual suit, Asuna in a turtleneck and jeans, while Konoka wore an oversized sweater, reaching her thighs.

"Yo, Negi, Asuna, Konoka," He called out.

"Ah, Ichigo-sensei!" Konoka exclaimed with a cheerful voice, making Ichigo smile. That cheerful voice never serves to stop making people smile. It reminded Ichigo of Yuzu in a way. "Konnichiwa, Ichigo-sensei," Asuna greeted her fellow orange head as Negi greeted him by his surname.

"What're you up to?" The orange head asked as the three looked at each other as Negi smiled. "Eheh, Class 3-A and a couple of other classes are going on a fieldtrip to Kyōto!" He announced cheerfully.

"Heh~," Ichigo sounded. "Good for you then." Ichigo then noticed a card on Negi's hand. "Watch'cha holding, Negi?"

Negi and Asuna bother perked at this. "Ah, um, w-well, uh, th-this is-…!" The red head tried to explain but Konoka beat him to it. "It's a tarot card of Asuna!"

The ex-Shinigami raised a brow, "Tarot card?"

"Konoka's president of the Fortune Telling Club…" Asuna explained as Konoka giggled. "But you know, Negi-kun making this kind of card for Asuna and carry it with him everywhere… Could it be that she's your 'this'?" She asked, wiggling her pinky finger as Negi was now a sputtering mess. Ichigo blinked at the sudden surprise as Asuna immediately changed the subject to go shopping.

---

The shopping spree was fine as Ichigo watched Konoka try out an outfit on Negi, who was embarrassed enough to having to try new clothes. Feeling a tug on his shirt, Ichigo turned to Asuna, who was beckoning to follow her. Raising a brow, the carrot top followed his fellow orange head. Turning to her, he asked, "What's up Asuna?"

Asuna stared at him for a while, making Ichigo feel a bit awkward, to which he repeated, "You want something?"

"Say…" Asuna began, "Have we met somewhere?"

Ichigo blinked. "Err… no?" That wasn't an actual answer; it was more of a question. Staring into his brown eyes, Asuna found that her fellow orange head was equally confused as she was. Inwardly sighing and putting on a somewhat depressed face, she turned Ichigo around and pushed him. "Alright, I was kidding about earlier. Come on; let's go find Konoka and Negi."

"Hey-hey, I can walk on my own, thanks," Ichigo commented, scowling.

The two looked all over the store, but no matter where they looked, they couldn't find the two Magical beings anywhere. It wasn't until they saw scuffling behind one of the changing rooms did they try to take a peek.

"Hey, are you in there, Konok-…"

*Chū~*

Asuna held a surprised face as Ichigo raised a brow, as Konoka kissed Negi in the cheeks. Suddenly, a circle lit under the two as a voice yelled out, "Pactio!"

"J-just wait a minute! What are you two-!"

"Hyaaah~!"

"Wah!"

"What in the-…?"

In a flash of light, a card materialized. Konoka yipped in happiness and success, grabbing the card swiftly. "Waaaaiii~! It's just like Magic!" Taking a gaze at the card, she smiled happily. "My card! Yaaan~!"

It wasn't until she took a closer look did she realize that the artwork was a complete and absolute crud drawing, compared to Asuna's card. "Wh-whaaaa~! Why's my card so bad?" Konoka cried out, her personality taking a complete 180. "This is totally different from Asuna's!"

"As I thought, it has to be a proper kiss…"

"Eh? Really!"

The card glowed mildly in Negi's hands before disappearing. "Ah! It disappeared!"

"Ah!"

Grabbing Negi, Konoka closed into his face with a serious look on her face. "L-let's give it another try, Negi-kun!" She was stopped when Asuna grabbed her forehead and forced her back. "H-hey hey, calm down, Konoka!"

"What the hell was that?" Ichigo asked, confused in what just happened. He turned to see Asuna punching Chamo into the air, hinting the fact that the Pactio thing was connected to the ferret somehow.

---

Ichigo sighed upon his place on the couch. "Ha~, what a busy day…" He muttered. His roommate looked up from her homework. "Is something wrong, Kurosaki-sensei?"

He shook his head. "Nah, its fine. Thanks for worrying though."

His roommate nodded, getting up to get something to drink while Ichigo closed his eyes for a bit, thinking back to when Asuna asked if they met before. "That was the second time someone asked me if I met them before…" He thought. "I don't really remember stuff since becoming a Shinigami 'cause I had lot of things to think about…" The orange head opened his eyes. "Things are starting to get interesting (translation: confusing)…" He thought before falling asleep.

Notes:

And thus begins the Kyōto Trip Arc. During this Arc, there will be several surprising faces, one you all saw in this chapter, although she hasn't shown herself yet, hahaha. Why she's here will be explained in better detail next chapter... Or will it be in the chapter after that? I don't remember, hahahaha. The next familiar face to be shown will be one of Ichigo's fellow comrades in the Living World. Who it will be, you'll all have to wait for several chapters. During this Arc, Ichigo will also obtain his first and second Pactio cards; one being for his Ministra, the other with Ichigo being the Minister.

Yeah, I know it's odd seeing a person having a Pactio card for being a Magster and a Minister, but this is all part of the plan and theory I formulated on the spot. The theory? I'll go explaining it in the next chapter.

Going on, the reason why Chamo and the others thought that Ichigo's Fullbring was Magic? Well, haven't I explained this a few chapters ago? Anyway, the reason is that Reiatsu and Magic is so closely related, that it's easy for the two to be mistaken for each other. As to-be-shown-in-a-few-chapters, Evangeline, with no powers in her whatsoever, will be able to see a Shinigami in soul form easily (due to her high affinity in Magic herself, despite having no powers).

Also, I changed the way I write VERY slightly. No seriously, none of you won't notice, even if you reread this chapter a thousand times unless you know me VERY well. I also changed the title slightly because of character difficulties. You know, the letters on your keyboards? Yeah, some characters were unable to show up on the title, so I changed it to one that would.

Anyway, this concludes Chapter 7 of BLEACH: again. See you all later!

And before I forget:

Hello my loyal fans, normally I would delight and excite you with the next chapter. The problem however is that me and my fellow authors are in danger of getting shut down. Barely three twenty minutes ago I came home after a long pain in the ass day at work, and I see authors that haven't updated in years, I'm all excited and clicked on their links to engross myself with joy...instead I learn that the administrators of this site decided to grow a pair of balls and take down several stories on this website over lemon stories and violent scenes.

I immediately called bullshit, most of us have been on here for years. Hell I've been a member since 2006, and I've heard of only two stories that rightfully deserved to be removed from this site. The first was called Blood of the Snake, Blood of the Fox; It was removed for cannibalism, excess amounts of rape, and scenes of violence that chilled even me to the bone. The second was called Akamaru's Lucky Day; Now I never read it, but I'm pretty sure it was about bestiality. Those are prime examples of fanfics that should be taken off the site.

But for the other authors, whose works I greatly enjoy they are in jeopardy. Some who have written fine, yet violent works and the occasional lemon is at risk. Hell folks I'm even at risk for my writing that depicts acts of violence and sex...well the latter for the last one. That ain't right and thanks to pyromania101 for giving the me the site of www(dot)change(dot)org/petitions/fanfiction-net-stop-the-destruction-of-fanfiction-net we can hopefully put an end to this nonsense.

Now who's with me! Because I know these guys are with me and every author below this line after I copied and pasted/stole them from Dez Guardius.

(Forget the top part shit, I'm going with the chapters, and NO ONE'S gonna stop me! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!) (Anyway, I got one of my stories stripped down from me, which is why I got banned for a week, sucks... But I'm back and happy!)
