Nodoka's POV
Outside Eve's Cottage
During attack
She watched as the werewolves raced towards her, Blade was in front. She stepped back as he shifted human again "Blade, I kept my word. The academy is yours, so leave everyone alone. Let all the people here leave, even those that know about magic."
Blade smiled at her and reached for her hand, but she flinched away. "Oh don't be like that, soon we'll be married and living in a castle. Or do you want to run and let my men have their way with those that know about magic?" Nodoka started to shake, and tears spilled out of her eyes. "Now don't cry, you can say goodbye to everyone as soon as we have control."
Nodoka could sense Negi and the others coming, she knew what she needed to do. 'I-I'm so sorry, please forgive me for this!' When Negi was close enough to see them in the clearing in front of Eve's cottage, Nodoka leaned in close to Blade and kissed him.
"No…. Do…. Ka…. Why?" Negi was traumatized, his Nodoka had willingly kissed the enemy.
She looked at him sadly "I'm really sorry Negi, I didn't want you to find out this way." Nodoka reached out to him, "I-I-I'm in l-love with Blade." With those few words Negi's world came crashing down.
Negi's POV
Same time
The woods
Negi was running as fast as he could, he couldn't fly because of the trees, trying to get to Nodoka before the wolves did. 'Hold on tight Nodoka, I'll be there soon' Negi was almost to the clearing, he could hear the others behind him now. Just up ahead he saw Nodoka surrounded by werewolves. As he got closer he saw Nodoka lean in and kiss the one closest to her.
The world seemed to stop, time slowed as Negi's heart shattered. "No….Do….Ka…. Why?" he asked her. Why, why would she kiss the enemy?
"I'm really sorry Negi, I didn't want you to find out this way." Nodoka reached out for him. "I-I-I'm in l-love with Blade." That was the final blow, everything came crashing down. Her words did more than break his heart, they crushed his very soul.
"Nodoka! Why would you kiss him? What about us, and what about Negi?" Yue was in tears, her best friend had betrayed them and now Negi was broken.
For a moment Nodoka's golden eyes turned back to their old blue color. Tears flowed down her cheeks hit the grass. As she took a step towards her friends Blade pulled her back, "No my sweet, remember the deal. If you go to them, they die and sadly so do you." Nodoka stopped and turned away from him.
"Back down and you won't get hurt. I promise to not let them lay a hand on you, so please just give in!" Nodoka begged her friends.
The look Negi gave her sent her falling backwards, "And why should we listen to you? You're one of them, a wolf through and through!" He snarled at her, all his pain turning into hate.
"Geez Negi, give her a break. I mean I'm usually the last to figure things out, but even I can see that she's just trying to save all of us!" It was a surprise to everyone when Asuna walked up to Negi and punched him, then continued till she stood next to Nodoka. "I trust you Honya-chan, we'll give in to you." Asuna laid down her weapon and motioned for the others to do the same.
When no one followed her she got mad "Hey, when has Honya-chan ever done anything wrong? When has she ever done anything selfish, or mean? I swear she's kindness incarnate, just listen to her will you!" The group, besides Negi, followed suit and laid down their weapons.
'NO! Why should they trust them, HER? I don't like it one bit, but if I fight they'll be killed. So I have to stand down, I don't want to though. I don't think I can ever face her again.' Negi looked at the group his gaze stopped at Nodoka. He loved her more than anything, but she loved that wolf, he had lost her. "I will back down, but I can't go with you. I'm going back to Wales, this is the last time I'll see you."
Negi turned and left the forest. Not paying attention to what was happening behind him.
OMG~OMG~OMG~ THIS IS A LINE BREAK~~~ AND THAT WAS SAD. NOW BACK TO THE STORY, OMG~OMG~OMG~
Asuna's POV
As Negi left Nodoka tried to run after him. Tears poured down her face, and the only reason she didn't call out to him was Blade's hand over her mouth. Nodoka struggled to get free, all she'd wanted was to keep Negi safe, and she did what she thought was best. It had worked, but now Negi thought she had been playing him and that she loved Blade.
After some time the wolf removed his hand "Negi, please come back" Nodoka cried out. Asuna watched the pour girl collapse on the ground, unconscious.
"NODOKA! Hey wake up," Yue knelt down next to her friend and tried to rouse her. "What did you do to her?" She yelled up at Blade who was no smiling at the scene before him.
He laughed then quickly told them what he found so funny "Well you see, the girl I love just stopped the man she loves and lost him so all of you could live!" He laughed again, "My darling Nodoka tore up her heart so that you could be safe, and the one she wanted to protect the most has just driven the final blow to her heart. I fear she's gone, well her heart is any way. But the final blow was so much that she passed out from the pain."
The group looked at him then slowly some of them began to understand. "So basically, Nodoka's heart was so broken that when Negi-sensei left, the pain was too much right?" Yue asked the wolf and he nodded.
'So Negi broke Honya-chan, all because he misunderstood what she was trying to do…' Asuna felt sorry for the two of them, so she came up with one of her 'famous' plans "Well lets go tell Negi and straighten things out!"
"Um Asuna-chan, we don't know where Negi-kun went, and I doubt he'll listen to us anyways." Konoka told her friend.
"Yes we do! Negi-bozou said he was going back to Wales, so if we find Nekane-san and Anya-san we'll find Negi-bozou." Keade spoke up.
"Unnn….." Nodoka began to stir. When she opened her eyes they were cloudy.
"Nodoka darling, we need to go back to the castle. I can smell a vampire nearby." Blade reached out a hand and she took it. "That's right, be obedient."
"Wait, please take us with you!" Yue and Haruna begged him "Nodoka's our best friend, and we promise to listen, just don't take her away from us again!" Yue begged.
"Hmm, well it will be good for her to have companions. You may come along, but only you two. Now I will give you an hour to get your things and say goodbye." With that he left with Nodoka following suit.
OMG! THIS IS A LINE BREAK, BUT A SHORT ONE
Outside Dorm building
Yue's POV
"Asuna, I have a plan." When the words came from Yue everyone paid close attention. "Haruna and I will keep tabs on the wolves from the inside while you guys find Negi. I suggest contacting Nekane first, she will be able to greatly help you." The girls all nodded. "Konoka and Setsuna will stay here and be home base. All messages will go through them."
When she finished Kotaro stepped forward "Please be careful you two, who knows how sneaky those wolves can be." Everyone laughed because they knew he was part wolf.
"So this is where the group parts ways huh? We should all promise to stay safe until every thing's back to normal." Asuna put out her right hand and the others stacked theirs on top. She turned to Konoka "Next time we see you we'll have Negi with us!" she promised.
"And Nodoka-san will be back to normal." They hugged and everyone else said goodbye.
"Konoka-san, we'll send you a letter as soon as we arrive. Please keep us tabbed on how the other groups doing."
Yue and Haruna grabbed their stuff and headed off to meet the wolves. "Glad you could join us, but there is a catch, our palace is wolf only. So we're going to have to kill you or turn you. It's your choice really." Blade smiled at the two girls.
"On one condition, we get to be Halflings like Nodoka." Blade agreed to this small demand. They all left towards the werewolf's castle, with the prince holding his werewolf princess the whole way.
