Notes:

Now that we are entering the Kyoto arc, the updates are like this. Any chapter that has (I) in it, it means that the chapters setting is on morning (AM), while (II) on Afternoons(PM 1-5) while (III) are on nights (6-12pm) we all know that the nights have main events in it so that chapter will be longer than the other ones (this only applicable in the Kyoto arc). I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 6: Kyoto: Day 1 (I); Storyline Chapter

[Mahora Station; 8:00 am]

The morning sun have risen in Mahora academy, some of the students are ready for another day of academic learning. Boys and girls alike are walking towards the said academy; but our focus is on the station going in and out of the school district. In that said station, the other side of it, which is going to Kyoto, has no people in it except for the personnel assigned to it. Minutes later a certain teacher and his two roommates enter that said side of the station.

"Geez, Negi," Asuna said as she breathes heavily, sweat pouring from her forehead. She is wearing her uniform and she is carrying her travel bag, a rather large one to be exact. Sitting on a bench stationed there, she wiped her forehead with her handkerchief. "You made us run again, I already told you it's to early!"

"Don't be too hard on Negi-kun, Asuna," Konoka replied as she is also carrying her travel bag. She is at the same state as Asuna but she is more composed than her friend, sitting beside Asuna she also wiped some of the sweat on her forehead. 'Besides, if we didn't went here early, we might miss the train,"

"Konoka," Asuna said as she looks at the girl beside her. "Negi said that the time the train will come at station is 9:00 am, but were here an hour early, I could have packed more you know."

"I'm sorry, Asuna-san," Negi apologized as he walks towards the girls. The teacher is wearing his teacher outfit; a green suit with a white undershirt underneath. He is also carrying his large bag with the staff tied behind his back. Taking out his attendance sheet, he checked Asuna and Konoka's name in it marking them present. "But as a teacher I must be here early, I'm sorry if I have to drag the both of you with me.

"It's nothing to apologize about, Negi-kun," Konoka said as she wave her fingers at him. "You know what they say, it's okay to be early than late,"

Their conversation lowered down as only Konoka and Asuna were the only one's chatting; Negi looked at the other side of the tracks looking at the people on the other side of the station waiting for the train. Looking around the place some more, he saw his students coming inside the station. Kaede and the Narutaki twins are the next people entered the station as the three of them are also wearing their uniforms and carrying their travel bags but Kaede has a much larger bag than the two twins.

"Good morning, Sensei!" the twins waved to the teacher as they pass the gate.

"Good morning, Fuuka-san, Fumika-san," Negi replied bowing then checking their names. Then he looked at the tall ninja-girl as Kaede greeted him with a smile. "Good morning, Kaede-san"

"Good morning, Negi-dono," Kaede replied as she stood in front of the teacher, then going to eye level with the teacher she said. "It's good to see you cheerful again, Negi-dono."

Negi just smiled as the walking club went towards Asuna and Konoka; as usual the twins greeted them first before the ninja-girl. Negi then turned again looking at the side to see a train going towards the station on the other side of station. Minutes passed as Negi saw his other students with a person he knew just from yesterday. Natsume and Chizuru entered the station wearing their uniform and carrying their travel bag, behind him was Kotarou; wearing his usual black clothes. Natsume and Chizuru greeted their teacher with smiles on their faces, and then Kotarou faced Negi with a grin.

"Good morning, Kotarou-kun," Negi greeted the dog-hanyo first, bowing at him then checking Natsume and Chizuru's name in the attendance sheet.

Kotarou nodded back. Stretching for a bit, the dog-hanyo pointed his finger at the teacher saying. "Negi! I want a rematch! Our fight is not over yet!" before the teacher can reply, Chizuru called to the dog-hanyo. "Kotarou-kun, what did I told you about manners?"

Hearing the older girl's voice, Kotarou immediately put his hand down and said. "I'm sorry, Chizuru-neesan! I'll behave, promise!" the older girl just smiled while Natsume sweatdropped seeing the dog-hanyo apologize.

"What happened, Natsume-san?" Negi asked as he looks at Chizuru then to the dog-hanyo. "Why is Kotarou-kun acting like this?"

"Well, Chizuru-nee gave Kotarou-kun a special 'treatment' last night…' Natsume started as she looks at the fidgeting dog-hanyo, she sighed then continued. "Because Kotarou-kun didn't want to bathe before we ate suffer last night,"

"Oh," Negi replied, not wanting to know that 'treatment' is. He didn't to ask anymore question seeing the dog-hanyo was acting. As the three left the teacher to find a place to rest, Negi looked back at the dog-hanyo remembering what happened yesterday.

(Flashback)

"A Test? What are you talking about Takahata-sensei?" Asuna asked the tall teacher as she, the rest of her classmates, Negi and Yue looked at the tall teacher, waiting for his answer.

"You see Asuna-kun, what Inugami-kun did today was all because I ordered him to," Takamichi said as he looks at girls shocked expressions. Lighting up a cigar then putting it on his mouth. Puffing a smoke he continued. "This was all to test Negi-kun and his partners."

"What do you mean Takahata-sensei?" Setsuna asked confused, as she walks towards the teacher and asked. "You sent Kotarou-san to test sensei and us?"

"You are right, Setsuna-kun," Takamichi replied as he puff another smoke. "This test was made to determine on how Negi-kun can act with his partners with a specific situation. This test will also determine on how you girls will act if Negi-kun is in danger." The tall teacher looked at the dog-hanyo; who was currently dusting himself. Takamichi continued as he looks at the sky above. "In conclusion, this test is to determine you faith in one another, but unfortunately, only Yue-kun manage to figure everything out as well as help Negi-kun in his time need. Am I right Yue-kun?"

"Yes, desu," Yue said as the girls and Negi, looks at her surprised. "I only noticed it in the last minute, already too late to tell sensei,"

"When did you found out forehead-neesan?" Kotarou asked surprised as he put on his black polo, then dispelling the barrier so that the girls can go to their teacher.

"Just after you gave that speech, at first I only assumed you were here just to challenge sensei, but I had a second thought to it when you let us fight your dogs while you let sensei follow you, you were not here to challenge sensei, but you were here to challenge us, his partners am I right Kotarou-kun?" Yue spoke as Haruna and Nodoka went next to her and asked her condition, Yue smiled and told them she is okay.

"At first it was my motive, but Negi fought more than I imagined! It was one of my best fights yet!" Kotarou laughed as he wiped the remaining dusts on his pants, then pointing to the teacher saying. "I want a rematch Negi!" the girls' sweatdropped seeing the dog-hanyo's wiliness to fight their teacher, while the teacher just nodded.

"You see Negi-kun," Takamichi spoke getting everyone's attention. "there are times when you will need your partners help, whether you want it or not, let this be a lesson not just to you Negi-kun but to everyone as well,"

(Flashback end)

Sighing, Negi turned around to see more of his students entering the station. As the minutes passed, almost all of his students are now in the station; the only ones that are not present are the whole library exploration club.

"Nodoka-san and the others are still not here," Negi called to his students as the station was now filled with other teachers and students from another class also going to the same trip.

"Don't worry Negi-kun," Konoka said as she put her hand on the teachers shoulder comforting him, she is now standing near the teacher with her bag hanging behind her. "I know that they will not be late, Negi-kun," the girl said as she looks at her wristwatch. "Besides its only 8:45 am, they still have time you know. Isn't that right Sechan?" Setsuna just nodded, not even looking at girl. Konoka looked at her friend worried.

"What's wrong Sechan?" Konoka asked confused. "Is something wrong?"

"Nothing, Ojou-sama," Setsuna replied back, her face betraying her words. These words made Konoka more worried.

5 minutes passed when Haruna, Nodoka and Yue entered the station as most of their classmates looked at them; the three of them were wearing their uniform and they are also carrying their bags but the only thing noticeable is that Haruna's bag is much larger than the other two.

"I'm sorry were late, Negi-sensei," Nodoka apologized as Negi checked their names in the attendance sheet.

"Why are you guys late, Haruna-san?" Asuna asked confused. "The three of you always arrive early, why is that today you guys are late?"

"Well, we had a hard time waking up Yue-san," Haruna answered as she looks at her violet haired-friend.

"I'm sorry, desu," Yue apologized as she wipes the sweat on her forehead. "I'm pretty tired yesterday; maybe that's why I woke up late."

A cover up story, very clever Yue-sama! Not only that you told a cover-up story, but the fact that you dreamt about Negi-sensei is also a cover story!

'Shut up, Seigehart' Yue argued telepathically with her artifact. 'I thought you have been deactivated!'

Ha Ha! That's what they told you, remember that I'm a powerful artifact; I'm only here to talk to you, I'm on Standby!

'I know, just be quiet Seigehart,' Yue thought sighing.

As everyone assembles on the station, Negi then called to the last person missing on his class. (This Excludes, Evangeline and chachamaru of course.)

"Is Luna-san here yet?" Negi called to his students, which they shook their head no.

"Wait, Luna-san's not here yet?" Nodoka asked as she shyly walks towards her teacher. "I thought she is here already,"

"Luna-san haven't arrived yet, Nodoka-san," Negi replied as he looks around the station finding the brown haired-girl.

"Oh," Nodoka replied.

A minute passed and still Luna hasn't showed up, Negi was getting worried that his class is not complete for the trip. As another minute passed Negi and the rest of the girls knew that it is only a matter of minutes before the train arrives but still there is no sign of the brown haired-girl.

"Luna-san is going to miss the train," Negi called as he looks around the station. Looking at the clock in the station, it read 8:55 am, he sighed. Then to everyone's relief they saw the person they were looking for but it's not what they expect.

"good thing, I still made it," Jason said as he secures the small brown haired-girl in his back; the black haired-boy was wearing a blue polo-shirt, a pair of jeans, his running shoes and his gloves. A rather large bag was hanging in front of him as he walks toward the teacher and his students, on his back was Luna. The brown haired-girl has her eyes closed, her glasses were missing, she is also wearing a pink jacket and underneath it is her uniform, her blue ribbon with the green cross in it. Her arms are currently hanging on the boys shoulder as she snores silently. When the black haired librarian went near the teacher, he greeted Negi with a good morning, followed by a sorry.

"Jason-sensei, what happened?" Konoka asked as she looks at both Jason and Luna curiously. "Why are you carrying Luna-san? Did something happen?"

"Please call me Jason-san, I'm not working right now," Jason smiled as she answer the girl, not even bothering with the weight he is currently lifting. "Nope, nothing happened, Konoka-kun."

"But, why are you carrying Luna-san, Jason-san?" Konoka asked again when she learned the boy's answer.

"Oh Luna, it's a funny story actually," Jason chuckled as he fix Luna's weight on his back, looking back to Konoka continuing. "Ever since Luna and I were both young, when there is an event or trip, Luna here tends to pack all our things at night and she finishes it up before morning breaks that she forgot to sleep, so I always carry her and our stuff before we get left behind."

"So is Luna-san just sleeping?" Negi questioned as he looks at the sleeping face of the brown-haired girl.

"Yes, she is just sleeping, she will wake up for another 30 minutes if I remember correctly," Jason answered smiling.

"But I thought, you would not join the trip, Jason-san?" Asuna now questioned the black haired-boy.

"Yes, and that's why Luna and I got late. Before coming here I asked permission from the dean," Jason answered remembering his talk with the older konoe. "At first, he would not allow me, but after I told him about Luna's habit, he decided that I could join but I would pay for my expenses."

"Oh, I see," Negi nodded getting the information he needs. "Well I guess, it's good to have you with us, Jason-san,"

"Thanks, please take care of me and Luna on this trip sensei," Jason said bowing; after that the conversation lowered down to little chats from the girls as they wait for the train to arrive.

"Okay class, before the train arrives, I'm going to group you guys," Negi called to his students, as they and Jason looked at him curiously. "Now since that the academy doesn't allow no one walk alone in this trip, so there is going to be 6 groups with 5 person each but since Evangeline-san and chacharmaru-san are not going with us Jason-san and Luna-san will fill their positions,"

Group 1: Misa-san, Modoka-san, Sakurako-san, Fuuka-san and Fumika-san.

The cheerleaders, and the twins nodded in acknowledgement, then Negi called the names of next group,

Group 2: Satsuki-san, Misora-san, Kaede-san ,Satomi-san , Chao-san and Ku Fei-san.

The girls mentioned smiled, as Kaede looked at Ku Fei knowingly.

Group 3:Asakura-san Natsume-san, Chisame-san, Chizuru-san and Iinchou-san.

Asakura smiled; Natsume and Chizuru looked at each other. Chisame just type something on her laptop while Ayaka blushed being called by her professor. "I'll go with them as well," Kotarou called to Negi.

Group-4: Akira-san, Mana-san, Ako-san, Yuna-san and Makie-san.

"Negi-kun! Do you want to hang out with us after we went to the hotel?" Makie questioned happily. Jason smiled at the gymnast's energy.

"Um, maybe tomorrow, makie-san," Negi replied.

Group-5: Nodoka-san, Haruna-san, Yue-san, Asuna-san and Konoka-san

"Did you picked us correctly?" Asuna called to the teacher.

"Now, now Asuna," konoka sweatdropped at her question. "Why did you ask that?"

"Nothing in particular konoka," Asuna said as she looks at her group mates.

The last group is Setsuna-san, Zazie-san but since Evangeline-san and Chachamaru-san cannot go, Luna-san and Jason-san will replace their positions, is that okay with you guys?

Zazie said nothing as, Setsuna just looked Jason and nodded knowingly, and she thought that she can ask for the boy's help if the time is right. Jason just said. "Everything all right with me, I'll explain everything to Luna later," (A/N: I group them based on what I saw in the manga, but since I added the couple certain things will change.)

Now all of the groupings have been made, the only thing left to do is to wait for the train to arrive; Jason looked behind to see if Luna was secured as he waits for the train. Then he heard Luna talk in her sleep, loud enough for some of the girls and Negi to hear her as well. (A/N: even a mutter is heard if the room or place is really quite, I know I tried it in the library,)

"Darling," Luna muttered her eyes are still shut, her silent snores are heard by the black haired-boy. "Do I look cute today?"

"Yes, Luna," Jason replied as he smiled, not noticing the looks he is receiving. "You look pretty cute today,"

"Really? I'm happy to-"the brown haired girl didn't even finish her sentence as her voice returned to silent snores.

Jason smiled as he watches the sleeping face of his fiancé, then he remembered he is in a public place; he looked around to see the faces of the girls he is currently with. Some of them have amazed expression while some have blush on their faces; Negi was also amazed at the boy.

"What?" Jason asked no one in particular. "You guys never seen a guy compliments his girlfriend before?" the girls who heard what Jason said diverted their looks somewhere else, as they wait for the train to arrive."

(Time Break 9:30 am)

Class 3-A and their teacher are on route towards Kyoto, since there is no sitting arrangement in the train, the girls are now sitting according to their clubs, some sat next to their closest friends; since Negi boarded the train last he decided to seat next to Luna, who sat in the middle seat on the left row, the one sitting near the window is Jason; the black haired boy was now wearing a pair of earphones, listening to some J-rock music while his right arm are on Luna's right shoulder, glancing at the brown haired-girl every once and a while. (A/N the sitting arrangement in the train is 6 per row that is divided to 2; so it's 3 seats on the left and 3 seats on the right. The names mentioned are sat from left to right)

The library exploration club members are sitting on the same row as the teacher; Nodoka was sleeping, while Haruna was sketching something as for Yue; she was currently reading a pocket sized book that has a Latin words for it's title.(A/N she got this book from the help they give to Jason yesterday; chapter 5-A) in front of them are Natsume; who was currently talking to Chizuru, and Kotarou; who was looking at the scenery. In front of Jason is Asuna, who was talking to Konoka, while Setsuna was looking from left to right looking for anything suspicious.

Negi looked at his left seeing the brown haired-girl waking up; he smiled when he saw his seatmate's eyes open. Luna woke up and the first thing he saw was an unfamiliar seat in front of her, she looked to her left to see her fiancé looking back at her with a smile on his face.

"Good morning, Luna," Jason said as he wipe the drool on his fiancé's face, taking of his earphone he looked at the newly awakened face of his fiancé.

"Good morning, Darling," Luna said as she stretch her arms around, looking from left to right, she saw her teacher then she said. "Darling, did you carry me to the train?"

"Yes, I did," Jason answered. "Your habit acted up once again,"

"Oh, "Luna said, then she smiled and gave a kiss on her fiancé's cheek. "Thank you,"

"No, problem," Jason smiled as he hold her fiancé's hand with his left arm.

Negi smiled at the couple's action, and then he called to the brown haired girl greeting her. "Good morning, Luna-san," he greeted. The brown haired-girl looked at her professor and greeted him a good morning.

"Good morning, Luna-san," Yue said when she saw the girl woke up; she smiled when the girl looked at her smiling.

"Oh, Yue-san, good morning," Luna greeted her, remembering what she thought about yesterday, she called to the violet-haired girl saying. "Yue-san do you have a minute, I want to play a game with you,"

To be continued:

Author notes:

Well I guess that's that for this chapter… I left a cliffhanger for this chapter, this will change a couple of stuff in the Kyoto arc, but don't worry the antagonist in this arc will not change although Kotarou's role as antagonist will be given to another person…but that will be on the next 2 updates… I hope you enjoy reading this chapter as I enjoy in typing it… anyhow the poll I posted up last week was now officially closed and here are the results there are 3 voters, and the results are here, Mana have 3 votes while the Narutaki twins have both 2 votes and the last one went to Ayaka… so as the results, the chapters for that will show up in the 8th or 9th chapter chronologically it's as the same time as Library Island Treasure Hunt Arc (which I made up)…well I guess that's that next update is on either Sunday or Monday. Leave me a review so I will know what you guys think of this chapter…well so…

Till next time!

Bye!
