Author notes:
Well hello guys! This is the 16th chapter of this fic and the 6D chapter chronologically, as always before I start this chapter I have to say a few stuff first. I'm very sorry for the delay, I had to finish the last of my projects for the end of the semester so I delayed it till Wednesday, I hope you guys could understand. I'm also very sorry for the grammatical errors my chapters bring, I'm really trying myself to lessen or at least read my chapters before I post them, so I'm very sorry if you guys are still able to notice grammatical errors, and also thanks to Miss NamiUchiha1313 for the review.

I do not own Negima? Nor Mahou Sensei Negima! It is created by Ken Akamatsu and I don't have any affiliation with him nor the staffs that created the anime and manga what so ever… although I own the Striker couple… and Seigehat as well as for other OC's that will come up in the later chapters as the story progresses…
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). Remember this is based on the anime Negima? So some of the facts displayed be the anime is the same as this but this story will follow the original manga storyline but with editions I made up by myself, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 6D: Kyoto Day (III-A): Flashback/ Storyline Chapter
Yue Ayase; A member of the library exploration club, a smart girl but lacks the determination to do stuff seriously is now sitting on a bench outside of the hotel their class is staying; looking at the stars, she sighed as she looks at the twinkling stars.
"How did it turned out like this," Yue muttered as she took a sip of her hot cola which she bought from a nearby vending machine.
Well sometimes, we wizards should be prepared for anything, isn't that right Yue-sama?
"I know that Seigehat, but I never thought it was this big of a situation," Yue said as she emptied the pouch and threw it on a nearby trash bin.
So, what do you think we should do, Yue-sama?
"I don't know," Yue said as she thinks about the events earlier. "I'm very sorry that Luna-san did this Nodoka,"
(Flashback, a few hours earlier)
Luna, Negi and Yue were currently running in the streets of Kyoto, chasing the traces of the black-haired librarian who was currently chasing Nodoka. As they turn into an intersection, Luna asked a question to the two.
"So Negi-sensei, can you tell me what happened earlier?" Luna asked as she turns in the corner, her short brown hair is swaying in the wind as she run as fast as she can. "If it's okay with you,"
Negi didn't respond as he and Yue follow the girl wherever she is running to, As Yue looked at the professor, her thoughts were on the situation at hand.
'Negi-sensei,' Yue thought, even though their hands are linked, she can't figure what the boy is thinking of, 'what is happening?'
I bet this is some sort of conspiracy! You know from one of the manga's you read, I bet this is one of them!
'What made you say that Seigehat?' the violet-haired girl thought.
Well, the masked guy said that this place is more dangerous that is seems right? And the fairy dude was blaming people as a spy, so maybe there is some sort of connection to the Kansai magic association that Negi-sama mentioned.
'It's a possibility, but we can't be sure unless Sensei explains the situation clearly' Yue thought. She already thought of that possibility even before the hat spoke. 'something is missing from this scenario' she thought.
And what is that, Yue-sama?
'Is Luna-san involved in this?' she thought as she looks at the brown-haired girl's back as she follows her.
I don't think so, Yue-sama, Luna-san is already enrolled even before the trip was suggested, I doubt that she has something to do on what is happening now.
'I don't think Luna-san is with the Kansai magic association' a voice answered telepathically which made the violet-haired girl stop in her tracks which at the same time made the boy teacher stop.
'Who-'she thought, recognizing the voice in her mind she looked at the teacher who smiled back at her saying.
"It's me Yue-san," Negi smiled which made the violet-haired girl blush, "I think you should not judge you're classmate like that Yue-san."
"But how?" Yue said shock and blushing at the same time.
"I think this has something to do with the spell Luna-san put on the both of us," Negi explained as he look where the brown-haired girl went; after making a motion to run after Luna he continued. "It made us share our thoughts, but I never knew Seigehat-san was talking to you too,"
"Well, he has been active for the passed months now, Negi-sensei," Yue blushed as she tries to empty her thoughts about the professor while running towards their destination. "Ever since he was activated for the first time, he has been in standby-mode ever since,"
Hahaha, I already knew Negi-sama was listening to our conversation, Yue-sama
'But why didn't you tell me?' she thought, angry at the artifact for not giving her a warning or some sort.
Sorry, I forgot, I was busy talking to you remember?
'What did you say?' Yue answered back. 'You forgot?'
"Now, now please, Seigehat-san, Yue-san, please don't fight," Negi answered.
The three of them became silent after that; as Negi and Yue turned in the next corner; they saw the brown-haired girl standing next to the black-haired librarian, in front of then was Nodoka; who was looking at the ground. As Negi and Yue walk next to the librarian, Yue saw that her friend's eyes were red; maybe due to her tears.
"Nodoka," Yue said as she moves forward going to her friend but as she walks forward she remembered her current situation with the teacher but she was shocked when the boy-teacher spoke telepathically.
'Talk to her Yue-san, its okay,'
Yue was shocked when the boy let's go of her hand and she was more surprised when she was able to walk next to her friend.
'but how?' she thought as she looks at her friend's face.
I see, so that's what she meant
'Huh?' she thought asking, 'what do you mean Seigehat?'
I'll explain it to you later; I think you have something better to do
'yeah, thanks Seigehat,' Yue thought as she smiled looking at her friend she said, "Nodoka, what you saw is just an accident, I never expect that would happen," looking at the eyes of her friend she continued, but this time in a more calmer and quieter voice. "I know you like sensei, even from the start; I would never be a hindrance, Nodoka. I don't know it would happen like this,"
(A/N: okay, so I switched things up, remember in the Manga; Yue was the one who run away from Nodoka when she found out the Yue likes Negi, but in this one, Nodoka was the one who run away. Sorry for the switch-up and OOCness I just planned it like this.)
"I know that, Yue-Yue," Nodoka replied smiling, "I knew that from the start that is was an accident,"
"But why did you run away?" Yue asked confused as she looks at her friend's face.
"I don't know exactly," Nodoka smiled. "I guess it was done unconsciously, I think,"
"Nodoka," Yue said as she watches her friend return to her usual self.
"Okay, now that's done," Luna clapped getting everyone's attention. As the four of them look at the brown-haired girl, she continued. "Can someone explain things? I don't like being left in the dark you know,"
"Okay, I will explain everything to you guys," Negi said as the brown-haired girl look at him questionably. "It all started when the Dean gave me a task,"
Negi explained everything to the four; Luna, Jason, Nodoka and Yue, as the four look at him as he continue, Luna can't help but smile at the boy for trusting them with his mission, but her smile turn into a grin as she thought of something.
"And that's what happened," Negi said as he finishes his story. "so, Luna-san, Jason-san, what do you guys think?"
"Hmm, I think this has some connection to the missing star crystal," Luna spoke as she fixes her glasses. "Why would else the baron be here,"
"The baron?" Yue asked, "Why is the baron connected to the star crystal?"
"Well, that guy was in the castle that we have been teleported to," Jason answered for his fiancé. "He's our primary suspect for now,"
"I see," Negi said now confirming that the baron is somewhat connected to the missing star crystal. "So will you two help us? I mean to protect the rest of the girls,"
"Sure we'll help," Luna smiled; Jason sighed as he saw the face his fiancé is showing. "On one condition,"
"And what is that?" Negi asked confused, unknown to the intents of his student.
"You'll find out soon enough, all I need is your approval," Luna smirked, once again manipulating the boy.
"Um, yeah I guess," the boy answered scratching his head confused.
Yue and Jason sighed in unison; Yue knowing that she is involved in this somehow, while the black-haired boy for letting his fiancé manipulate her teacher once again. Nodoka just looked at the four with a worried expression.
(Flashback end)
"Hey Seigehat," Yue said as she remembers something, looking at the hotel for a moment, she continued. "Can I ask you something?"
Sure, I'll just pretend I don't know your question
"You're quite a smartass, aren't you Seigehat," Yue said annoyed at the answer of her magical artifact, but she continued with her question anyways. "about what you said earlier that you'll explain things, what do you mean?"
Well, Luna-san did mention that you and Negi-sama can separate for at least a few meters if a certain condition has been achieve, and if my hunch is correct, that condition is that you and Negi-sama's thoughts have synchronized. Example of that is when consoling Nodoka-sama for seeing your, you know, you're 'accidental' kiss with Negi-sama
Yue blushed recalling the little accident that she and her teacher involved into, shaking that thought of she continued.
"Anyways, Seigehat we need to be on guard," she said as she went to the vending machine and bought another pouch of juice. "Now that we know the situation, we need to keep an eye out for enemies,"
Roger that Yue-sama! Oh by the way, can I ask you a question Yue-sama?
"Um, sure," she said as she took a sip of her pineapple-grape juice drink. "What is it?"
Why are you so willing to help Negi-sensei?
'What do you mean Seigehat?' Yue didn't answer back because she saw someone exit the hotel, is someone saw her talking to herself, people might think she's crazy.
Well usually, if you don't mind me saying, you're a bystander Yue-sama, before you got into this magic stuff, you usually slack-off or not care about stuff like this, why is now different? Is it because you like Negi-sensei?
'what! No, it's not because of that' Yue answered back telepathically while walking to a nearby bench. 'the truth is that, magic is really interesting, I think, and I need to at elast have a little excitement in my life,'
'I'm not satisfied in that answer Yue-sama, Okay, for now I'm not going to ask you again regarding this topic, but in the future, I'm going to ask you again and by that time, I need the real answer that time, if you don't know you're just lying to yourself.
'I'm not lying!' Yue thought but the answer of the magical artifact made her think. 'Am I?' the girl is so deep in thought that she didn't notice a person walking towards her, but her artifact noticed it anyhow.
Yue-sama! Heads up! Negi-sama is approaching!
'Huh?' Yue thought confused but as she looks up, the first thing she saw is the face of her teacher who was looking at her with worried expression while the white ermine is looking at her questionably. "Oh, Negi-sensei, Good Evening,"
"Good Evening, Yue-san," Negi greeted the girl with a smile on his face. "What are you doing outside Yue-san? We have a curfew you know, if the other teachers find you, you might get punished,"
"Yeah, Ane-san, it's a good thing Aniki saw you," Chamo said as he look at the face of the girl with a grin on face. "Are you trying to sneak out?"
"No, Chamo-san, I was not trying to sneak out," Yue answered shaking her head no. "You see Negi-sensei; I was just getting some fresh air,"
"Oh, I see," Negi answered smiling then pointing to the seat next to her, he asked. "Mind if I seat here?"
"Um, sure Negi-sensei," Yue answered blushing, as the boy seat next to her, she can't help but blush and think of how romantic the place they were in right now.
'Negi-sensei is seating next to me,' Yue thought blushing. 'What should I do?'
Kiss him!
'What! No!' Yue thought shouting at the hat for his comment.
Chamo watched as the face of the girl turn bright red, grinning at the situation, he quickly jumped off the professor and went to a nearby tree climbing it while saying 'I'll be right here if you need me, Aniki!'
Yue looked at the face of the teacher who was looking at the moon, she can't help but blush admiring the smiling face of the boy who was looking at the moon, moments later Negi spoke making the girl jump in her seat.
"The moon's quite beautiful isn't it?" Negi said as he looks at the moon, unknown to him that he was being stared at by the girl.
"Um, y-y-yeah," Yue stuttered blushing madly. "It is quite beautiful, N-N-Negi-s-sensei,"
"By the way, Yue-san, can I ask you a question?" Negi asked as he looks at the girl's face not knowing the girl's blushing condition.
"Um, s-s-sure sensei, w-w-what is it?" Yue stuttered her blush is still on her face. 'What could sensei ask about?' she thought her face turning a deep red, more of this and she might faint.
Maybe he might ask for your hand in marriage!
'No! That's im-impossible!' she thought thinking of the images of her marriage with the boy, shaking those thoughts off she replied. 'Sensei would never,'
Why? Is it because you lack in 'those' areas?
Yue looked at those specific areas that the hat mentioned, blushing deep red she shouted in her mind, 'PERVERT!'
Ahahahahaha! I'm having a blast! Come on Yue-sama, Kiss him! I know you want too! Ahahahaha!
'Nooooo!' Yue shouted blushing deep red at the images the hat is showing her in her mind.
"Um, Yue-san, are you okay?" Negi asked as he watches the girl squirm in her seat as her face is as red as an apple. "Are you sick? You're face is red,"
"No, I'm not s-s-sick, N-Negi-s-sensei," Yue answered back quickly, and then noticing that the question that the teacher wants was not asked, she questioned him. "Sensei, is that really what you want to ask me?"
"Actually, no," Negi answered, looking at the moon for a moment, he took a deep breath and asked the girl what he really wanted.
"Yue-san, can I activate your contract?" Negi asked which shocked the girl.
"Why sensei?" Yue asked, her blush quickly faded as her guard went up. "Is something wrong?"
"Actually not now, but I need to make sure, since Seigehat has a large detection field he might help in patrolling" Negi said explaining the current situation to the girl, Yue didn't even think twice as she nodded agreeing.
"Are you ready Yue-san?" Negi asked as Yue stand in front of him with determined eyes.
"Yes, Negi-sensei." Yue nodded as she took a deep breath when the boy teacher stood in front of her with his staff in hand.
Alright! It's Showtime! Time for some action!
'We still don't know if it's an armor card, Seigehat,' Yue thought as a spell circle erupted on the ground she is standing on.
Don't worry Yue-sama; I have a good feeling about this!
Partner Yue Ayase! Show me the Power Hidden within you!
Chamo watched from his position as a small circle appeared on the chest of the violet-haired girl, as Negi pushed his hand in the circle, the girl moaned in a low voice as the teacher pulls out a white card.
Invoking Contract!
Yue's body shined brightly as her night-dress changed into a black robe and a shirt black skirt, a hat appeared on her head as her clothes changed into its armor form, seconds later Yue landed on the ground with a smile on her face.
"Yes, it's an armor card!" Chamo exclaimed as he watch as Yue look at her clothes. "Nice pick Aniki!"
"Oh Yeah! It's good to be on the outside again!" Seigehat said as it opens his mouth taking in some air. "I told you so, Yue-sama,"
"I guess your right, Seigehat," Yue said as she stretches for a bit getting used to the magic circulating within her body.
"I guess were lucky today, Yue-san," Negi smiled.
Yue nodded smiling back, getting the book that was chained in her skirt, she looked if some new void magic has been unlocked in it.
"We got incoming Yue-sama!" Seigehat spoke in his computer voice getting the two's attention.
As soon as the hat finished his sentence a very large figure fell down in front of the teacher making her sit on the ground shocked.
"What the!" Negi exclaimed, looking up to see a very large monkey with a face of a woman wearing glasses.
"Sorry to have drop by, cute little wizard boy," the woman wearing the monkey costume spoke before jumping into the night sky away from the shocked duo.
"Wait, is that," Yue looked at the monkey on the sky, looking closely she recognized the form of one of her classmate on the monkey's shoulder. "Konoka-san?"
"Konoka-san?" Negi asked as he stood up with the help of the void-wizard.
"Aniki! She's from the Kansai magic association!" Chamo exclaimed as he jump to the teacher's shoulder. "She has Ane-san!"
"Negi!" a voice yelled getting the three's attention, as they look at the direction of the voice, they saw Asuna running towards them next to her is the samurai girl: Setsuna.
"Asuna-san, what happened?" Negi asked as he watches the girls stop in front of them to take a breather.
"Trouble, Konoka has been kidnapped!" Asuna explained as she looks at the teacher. "By a large monkey costume wearing woman!"
"We know, she just jumped passed up," Chamo explained looking alarmed at the current situation.
"Where did she go?" Setsuna asked, she is angry at herself for letting her Ojou-sama be captured by the enemy. "We have to follow her quickly!"
"She went that way! Let's hurry, she might get away from my detection field!" Seigehat spoke getting everyone's attention. Asuna and Setsuna looked at the hat shocked at seeing him.
"Seigehat-san? What are you doing here?" Asuna asked shocked at seeing the hat, and then she looked at the violet-haired girl and noticed that her clothes have changed into her armor form. "Yue-san, why are you in you're armor form?"
"No time to explain, let's hurry!" Negi said as he asked the direction from the hat, as the hat point the direction, the five of them ran towards to where the woman went.
(Somewhere in Kyoto but neat the Hotel: A few minutes before the incident)
The black-haired librarian, after seeing that he just let the enemy infiltrate the hotel, he quickly went and informed the samurai girl about the situation but it was too late as a late monkey carrying the girl Konoka ran passed him, he tried to grab the monkey's tail in order to stop it but before he can make a motion for the tail, the monkey threw a simple piece of paper that went to his chest, soon he felt a very powerful force that threw him into a nearby wall. He quickly ordered the samurai girl to follow it seeing that he is unable to remove the piece of paper from his body.
Minutes passed since that encounter with the monkey that the boy felt that the paper is loosing it's power, in a simple attempt the boy has successfully removed the paper then he quickly ran after the monkey but then he felt a very powerful aura nearby; a very powerful aura that is very familiar to the boy.
"Oh, no! He's here," Jason sweat hard when he recognize the feeling of fear, he quickly chased after the aura which lead him to a nearby park, brandishing his swords he looked for that person with extreme carefulness.
After a few seconds of searching, he found what he is looking for; seating on a bench while looking at the moon is a white-haired boy much smaller than him. A boy named Fate.
"Master Fate," Jason spoke in English, his guard is on its highest level.
"Good evening, Jason Striker," the boy named Fate greeted as he looks at the boy with his cold gaze. "Lovely moon isn't it,"
To be continued:
Author notes:
Well I guess I'll end it in this little cliffhanger, I planed the battle scenes for the next chapter, and I guess I put another question in this chapter, 'what is Jason's relationship with Fate?' I guess that question will be answered in the future chapters but for now I hope you like this chapter….
