Holy hell this fic kinda blow up. With over 500 views in two day's and counting as well as 2 favorites and 3 follows, I think that this will be a fun endeavor to do. Though it is sort of sad that it kinda died after the second day but oh well.
S-Mayumi: Interesting suggestions. And the black cat was meant to be Kuroka.
Guest: Nice.
Guest 2: I understand your reasoning and will try to build up some parts of the story, but please understand that I am not so good at writing and will take some time for me to learn how to do so without boring the reader.
withdranwnmadness000: Thank you for the suggestions on Riku's ministra. I will go with your suggestion.
Reviewer's: I thank you for your suggestions, support and tips on how to make this story even better.
Disclaimer: Please look to chapter two.
Story start.
On my way back I remembered that I should get some gifts for my neighbors. After all its the polite thing to do, and I might get to meet some of my future students as well, so it will be a good thing to make a good first impression. Heading back to the market I look around for something that would be a good gift and that will not offend my neighbors, but help start a good relationship. Settling on a cake I head out back home. For whatever reason however, I feel a pair of eyes following me but every time I look I see nothing. A clairvoyance spell perhaps? No, if it was a clairvoyance spell I wouldn't feel real pressure from them watching me, only some odd feeling. So a familiar then? Familiar's do have a presence so it could be that, but for what reason are they watching me and from where?
I guess the warning from lady Yasaka is about whoever is keeping an eye on me or related to them anyway. About how my movements would be monitored should I make a ripple, and I would have to guess taking out the class D demons put them on alert of my presence. Internally sighing that I would have to deal with being monitored for some time I come up to my front door, but for the life of me I just can't shake this overwhelming sense of dread. Choosing to ignore the instinct to run from my own home of all thing's I unlock the door and walk in.
"Kuro, I'm home."
Getting inside the first thing I didn't expect was taking a few hundred rounds of rubberized bullets all over my body. Recovering from my very violent welcome home and looking around to see what hit me, I pale when I see a tall dark skinned woman with long black hair and hazel eyes holding two sub-machine guns pointed at me, standing in the living room. She stood six feet tall with two locks of her hair tied and over her chest. She has a not so amused look on her face she is dressed in a blue coat and jean's with a brown tank-top with her dog-tags hanging from her neck. Slightly to her left was another girl. She has brown hair and blue eyes and stood at five feet seven inches tall. Her hair was tied in a pony tail. With her hand on her hips, she has a slightly disappointed look on her face. She is wearing the same outfit that she had on during the battle of Mahora.
Next to her and slightly back from the other's is the shortest of the group, standing at four feet eight inches with light blue hair and red eyes. Her face showed more concern about my injuries but I could see a hint of sadness in her eyes. She has a blue zip-up jacket with a yellow scarf and red shirt with a plaid skirt. On the right of the one holding the pistol was a woman standing at five feet two inches, with short dark purple hair and grey eyes. She held a face of anger and disappointment as well as some frustration. She is wearing a white polo shirt and black shorts with a gray jacket hanging over her shoulder. The last of the women had Kuro on her lap and staring at her. Though she was sitting I knew that she stood four feet nine inches, with short white hair and hazel brown eyes. She held a look contrary to the other's as it was more curious, though experience with her always tells something different. She has an orange scarf with a yellow sleeveless shirt and knee length pants.
The most scariest thing to me has just come to my new home. My ministra. And it doesn't look like I will be getting out of this without damage. My mind races to try and find an escape from this situation only to feel a shadowy hand push me forward.
Looks like there is no escape for me, so I might as well go with it and hope I live through this.
"Umm... hi?"
For the next three and a half hour's I found myself running from a hail of attacks begging for forgiveness from my ministra and praying that I don't die. To say that it took a lot of effort to keep myself alive, immortal as I am, was an understatement. I'm not sure which hurt more, Mana's specialized bullets, Akira's understated strength, Madoka's haymakers or Zazie's shadow spells. Actually I think this is the fourth or fifth time coming so close to death. It's a good thing I taught Ako those healing spells. And so after my near death experience, I'm sitting in the seiza position in my living room in front of Mana and the girls minus Ako who is by my side, and Kuro who is sitting on the coffee table to my right.
"Now that that's all done here's our question for you, oh great Magister Magi. Why did you leave your ministra behind and not even tell them were you were going?" Mana asks with a harsh tone while Ako attends to my wounds.
"Oww... well I thought that you would like a normal Highschool life without having the supernatural interfering, and it was about time I let Negi go off into the world on his own as he is a man now. So I left and was looking for a job to settle down and when I told the Headmaster and an old friend they said they would recommend me to a school in Isehara. I just thought it would be a good time to finally stop traveling around the world as I've completed my research on dragon magic."
"And why would you think that we would not worry about you? Yes you are older then us but that does not mean that we won't worry, considering what you did to yourself in the ten year's of research. Did you really think that we wouldn't try to find you, especially after everything we've been through?" Mana asks.
"It doesn't help your case that we promised your mother to look after you seeing as you still can't take care of yourself effectively seeing as you go to suicidal lengths just to put a smile on your student's faces. It doesn't help either that Kuoh Academy used to be an all girls school until recently. Who know's what will happen considering all of the odd energy around this city." Akira states.
Seeing that I wasn't going to get out of this one, I decide to look at the other's expressions. Ako looks concerned about what could happen to me if left alone for too long, Madoka looks like she wants to punch me again, Akira seems to still want to say something, though I'm not sure what Kuoh Academy being an all girls school once has to do with anything, Mana has a more relieved face on seeing that I have no other choice but to accept and not run away while Zazie is hands me a letter.
Wondering what the letter was about I take it and look at the sender and find out it was from mom. I face palm because I already know the contents of the letter, so I don't need to open it to know that mom is probably pissed at me for trying to live on my own. So instead of opening the letter I just concede to their whims on this matter with a sigh. After accepting my defeat I started getting some food ready for Kuro, who still chose to not show her really form(?), and give her the ball of yarn to play with before talking about sleeping arrangement as there are only four rooms and one of them is for me. Seeing as there are now six of us living here two of us would have to be roommates with each other. So it was decided that Mana and Zazie where going to be roommate's again while Ako is with Akira, seeing as they did share a room back in mundas magicas when they where slaves.
I guess they got closer during that time more then I thought.
After the whole debacle with my ministra, the sleeping arrangements as well as there registry to start going to Kuoh for there first year of high school, Mana and I go and visit our new neighbors the Hyoudou's. The family was seemed kind enough even if their son, Issei Hyoudou-kun was starring at Mana's chest the entire time, to which he was promptly scolded by his mother. In reality that scolding wasn't all to bad if you think about it, seeing as Mana's version would be to beat the perversion out of Hyoudou-kun in her half demon form by using him as live target practice. Well at the very least it wasn't Setsuna-san or god forbid Asuna. I'm not sure the poor boy would live through that.
We had also learned that Hyoudou-kun was also a student of Kuoh Academy, but along with his friends have gained the unfortunate moniker of 'the perverted trio'. It seems he will be in my class as I will be teaching the second year's, which seemed to surprise all three of the Hyoudou's when I told them my age as well as my qualification to teaching, and both Hyoudou-kun's parents seem to believe that he should follow my example. While Hyoudou-kun was a perverted sort of child, I found that that isn't all he thinks about. He's kind and caring, and while he has a dream of becoming the 'Harem King', he's at least passionate about his hobby, but I don't think Mana appreciated him trying to get into porn despite my polite refusal.
And although the Hyoudou's insisted that we and the other's come for dinner, I had to politely decline as I needed to prepare the curriculum for the school year as well as assess my new students ability and how far they are along in the subject. So I was working on somethings before going to bed after Ako and Akira finished making dinner. It tasted really good even if it was a simple dish, since I only bought simple ingredients since I thought I was going to eat alone. It seems my plans of learning how to cook is going to have to wait. Oh well, at least I'm good at baking. Then again, I don't see the girls letting me anywhere near the kitchen for any reason other then to back a cake I guess.
Currently I'm sitting at my desk in my room going over some quiz's and test's that will be given though out the year as well as looking at the manual that was given to me by Shitori-san before leaving. Right now I'm on the page that deals with the 'perverted trio', which was pretty ironic because one of them is my neighbor.
"You know you could rely on us right? We could help you. You don't have to be alone." A slightly melodic voice near the door says breaking out of my thoughts.
Looking over at the door I find Madoka leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed over her chest. By her feet Kuro is purring and rubbing against her leg. She has an exasperated and tired look on her face that tells me that she's been worrying about something. Possibly me since I did leave suddenly and without notice. Sighing I answer her.
"Yeah, I know that i don't have to be alone, but that doesn't mean I have the right to take away your's and the other's future by dragging you all into the problems of the supernatural. I felt it more prudent that you all get the teenage life you all deserve without worrying about us."
I just wanted them to be able to forget the magical side of the world as it's a side that most of the class shouldn't be apart of, save for the few who belonged to that side to begin with. And really, what right did I have to take away there future happiness just for my own selfishness? They all had bright future's and could easily find someone who would love them for them, but they got dragged into our affairs. I just wanted to give them that back.
"But we do worry about you, Asuna-san, Negi-sensei, Konoka-san and the others. We worry because your our friends. And really how could we not worry after the many times you nearly died for us? When you nearly died of a heart attack from magic overload and exhaustion when we used the Casiopia, that was one of the most scariest things I've ever had to witness and when I felt so powerless to help I that I couldn't help but think I was useless then. When during the final battle with Chao and Yuki, you put yourself into a month long coma to stop them because of the price your magic had! How myself, Ako and Mana had to sit by and watch your body tear itself apart when you were trying to learning Eva-chi's magic, magia erebea, made each of us curse ourselves that the only thing we could do to help then was to clean your wounds and apply some ointment and still know that it might not be enough!" Madoka shouts while crying somewhat.
"...Madoka..." I whisper before she rushes over and hugs me.
"Then there was that time that you lost control when we were threatened and almost killed, when I looked at the absolute pain and anger on your face at the time it broke my heart. I knew I couldn't just leave you alone if you would willingly turn yourself into a monster for our sake, I just couldn't." she whispers between sobs.
Wrapping my arms around her I whisper." And it's because that you've seen and experienced such terror that I wanted you and the other's to get away from my world. It's not your place to sacrifice everything just to be with us."
"...Sensei you idiot, we want to help because we care about you, because we don't want you to die. We don't want to lose you."
We spent the next ten minutes in silence in each other's arms, well as silent as it could be since she was crying. And this is why they didn't need to get involved in our affairs. They don't need to feel like this, but they do and I can't help but think that it's all my fault that they had to experience what they had seen. After the twentieth minute, Zazie happened to walk by the open door and took the now sleeping form of Madoka back to her room.
I'm tired right now after that massive clash of wills, so I put away my work. Have to get ready for classes tomorrow anyway. Changing into my nightwear, I hope into bed when Kuro also jumps up next to me. I pet her one last time before I embrace moropheus.
Waking up this morning, I try to stretch but notice that something was on my right side. I also noticed that I was hearing another person's breathing lightly along with a set of arms hugging me and a leg across my waist. Looking to my right I see a head of black hair with cat ears. And she was naked.
Blushing up a storm, I try and figure out what's going on, who this is and whether or not this is Kuro. Until...
"Good morning, Sens..." Ako state's before cutting herself off seeing the scene infront of her.
"Hmm..." came another voice to my right. Looks like Kuro(?) is waking up. She open's her hazel eyes and gives me a seductive grin." Well good morning nya~"
This is going to be a long day. At least I soundproofed the walls.
Story end.
And there it is. I tried to make the chapter a little longer. Hope you like it. Also I hope you don't mind about some background filling in, as well as some personality changes as some of them were not in the story long enough for me to get a firm grasp on those things. Onto other things, should Riku gain Ministra from the DxD cast? If so please give five character's, there title, artifact and power. If not, then I'll just roll with it.
Harem as suggested by the readers: Akeno, Raynare, Kalawarner, Xenovia, Serafall, Rias, Koneko, Kuroka, Ako, Mana, Madoka, Akira, and Zazie.
