It is a time of unrest in the Galax-
(Film skipping and melting sound effects)
Everyone on the eggcarrier: (Monty Python style) GET ON WITH IT!!
Donkey: Alright! Alright!
Cue opening track: Tank!-Yoko Kenno.
The sun was shining brightly over mahora and Regulus was lying on the roof of the dormitories just kicking back. The late afternoon was so lazy even the clouds were drowsy it seemed.
"Man what a crazy spring break it's been." He mused to himself. "Gosh spring break at Mahora might just be crazier than MTV's spring break...Heh I can only imagine what would happen if the two were to combine..." His thoughts began to wander...
"HI I'm Takamichi Takahata and welcome to MTV's spring break Mahora!!" Takamichi was clad in probably the most gaudy hawiian look ever the crowd cheered and several bikini clad versions of every one Regulus had met started to dance around and Asuna began to fla-
"Whoa Whoa Whoa!! Bad image!" Regulus shuddered in disgust as he regained control of his thought pattern.
"Still It did almost get to that point the other day" Regulus began pondering as he recalled that morning...(cue flash back)
Regulus was going about his daily routine which would include catching up on some long overdue training form the wee hours in the morning
"Nine thousand nine hundread nintyeight."
"Nine thousand nine hundread Nintynine."
"ten thousand wheeeew!! thats enough."
Regulus thrust the large blade Estreledge into the earth and propped him self up against it to rest.
"Lets see have I done everything on my training to do list..."
He took out a small slip of paper and looked over it.
"okay I ran 100 laps around the school building-Check"
"Practiced tree jumping-check"
"Swing Estreledge ten thousand times with left and right hand seperately-Check"
"Focus Chi to hang upside down on trees?"
"Oh I guess I frogot to do this one.." Regulus said as he proceeded to walk up the tree and out on to a branch and flipped himself upside down.
Regulus continued to hold this position for a while when he spotted an all to familiar face and no it was not Yue, It was Setsuna.
She had come to practice her technique. she began by swinging yunagi and slicing the falling leaves from the tree that Regulus was in.
She was focused her minds eye working flawlessly nobody else around to bother her...or so she thought
Regulus had noticed that the shimeiryuu in training had not caught on to his presence...he couldn't resist anymore
"Huh whose there!" Sestuna stood alert as she heard rustling in the tree behind her but did not notice Regulus standing behind her.
"ZAKI-SAN!!"
"AHHHIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!"
Setsuna jumped about 5 meters into the air when she landed she turned around to see Regulus laughing his head off.
She pointed Yunagi directly at him "Why are you laughing I couldn't sense you at all!"
Regulus took a breah and stated matter a factly "Well now if ya couldn't sense me Zaki-san then it means my training is paying off."
"Gainsbrough-san I thougt you said that you would not interefere with my trianing while you were visiting." She stressed the interfereing part.
Regulus countered "Well I think It's the opposite seeing as you are the one who interuppted my training."
"How so?" came the reply
Regulus explained "Well I was in that tree a good twenty minutes before you came along." He also threw in "But I under stand how you would think that seeing as you couldn't sense me."
A vein appered on Setsuna's fore head "Are you asking for a fight?" she said raising Yunagi.
"Well yeah seeing as you are the one asking Zaki-san." Regulus countered drawing Estreledge.
The two shinmeiryuu students stared each other down but before either of them made the first move they were interupted by the sound of their stomachs rumbling
Regulus smirked "Well it looks like your running on empty eh Zaki-san." Setsuna turned a bright shade of red from embarassment.
"How can you say that you are as well." She said accusingly but Regulus just shruged it off "Well anywho since I am hungry I am gonna head back up to my cabin and fix me some breakfast would ya like to come along."
Setsuna steped back for a moment and blurted out "What is that some lame attempt to hit on me." Regulus in a typical manner facevaulted "NOOOOOOOOOO! Geez I just try to do something nice and no matter what it's always misinterpreted as something perverted." He looked up to see Setsuna with an almost unoticible smirk on her face, Now it was Regulus's turn to get angry.
"Zaki-san you Baka you were just messing with me!" to this Setsuna replied "Well what can I say Gainsbrough-san I know you as well as you know me."
Before Regulus could think of a witty comeback his stomach interuppted him again
A short while later the two were at Regulus's cabin eating a rather large western style breakfast...rather it was Regulus doing the majority of the eating. All Setsuna was having was a bowl of rice with some vegtibles. The swordswoman looked on somewhat dissgusted at Regulus going homicidal on his breakfast.
"Do you always eat that much?" She asked
Regulus paused between bites and swallowed what in his mouth before speaking."Yeah I'm always starving after around of morning training so I gotta have a proper breakfast before I start off a day."
"But since you also study Shinmeiiryuu shouldn't you be having somthing similar to what I am having?" asked Setsuna
"Already have" came the reply. "Huh?" the warrior was now puzzled. Regulus clairified "I have my skimpy warriors meal before I train but by the time I'm done I have already burned it off so I gotta cook my real breakfast."
Setsuna didn't seem to approve "But you are a warrior and should be fasting." To which Regulus countered "Uh hello 15 year old guy here you can't expect me to just get by with something little."
After that verbal exchange they sat in scilence for a few minutes until Regulus decided to change topics "So you still havent spoke to her?" He asked Setsuna looked up "What are you talking about?" Setsuna was trying to avoid the topic. Regulus pressed forward "You know well what I'm talkin about, you and Konoka." Setsuna tensed up as Regulus continued "I mean aren't the two of you sposed to be friends?" Setsuna responded "Well what do you know I just feel better protecting her from the shadows."
"You mean stalking." Regulus slipped in bettween bites.
"Yes Stal-WAIT THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT!" Setsuna was caught off guard momentarily but quickly regained her composere "I just feel Ojou-sama would be happeier if I was not around."
Regulus countered "So that big schpeil ya gave me four years ago about how you must become stronger and hone you skill so that you could protect your Ojou-sama, is pretty much amounting to nothing."
Now Setsuna's temper got the better of her. She stood up "Look what right do you have telling me how I should go about protecting Ojou-sama!"
Regulus also shot up his temper also starting to flare "Well I sure as hell have a right because you were the one that told me about the river incident."
Setsuna then started her way to the door and replied angrily "Well maybe it was a mistake to tell you!" she picked up Yunnagi and started to leave, but Regulus wasn't done yet. "Or maybe the river has absolutly nothing to do with this maybe it has to do with the other incident." She stopped and turned to face the blonde but could not find anyway to respond. "You know...your wings!"
Setsuna immeidiatly froze up she tried to find words to defend her self but her emotions had already gotten the better of her. A tear started to stream down her face and she ran out of Regulus's cabin as fast as she could slamming the door behind her. So Regulus wouldn't notice. She kept running until her eyes became too blurred by tears She collapsed down not making a sound so not to alert anyone to her presence while in her vulnerable state. She thought to her self 'How could you say that Regulus! Konoka could never hope to understand the pain I feel I just want her to be happy.' Aside from Konoka, Regulus was the only other person to know her true self and to make it worse he always knew how to break through that cold emotionless barrier she always could put up in the face of her class mates.
Unfortunatly for Setsuna Regulus had saw her before she stormed out of the cabin so he was thinking along the same lines 'Geez Zaki-san I didn't mean to upset you. but it was the truth.' 'Sure Konoka might not show it but I am 100 percent sure she misses you a lot' he continued his thoughts 'and to make things worse Konoka probably thinks it's something that she did wrong.'
His thoughts were interuppted by the Super mario 3 battle theme which meant he had a phone call.
"Hello...Hey Asuna Whats up?...Uh-huh yeah I know about that...You want me to what...no no thats fine I just don't think she will be to happy to see me is all...well I can't argue with that logic... What about Chase...Oh he's off doin his own thing?...well good for him it would probably be safer if he didn't come...alright count me in i'll meet you three by the train stop." He hung up as he steped out side his cabin fully prepared he thought to himself 'Man my past is bitin me left and right today first it's Zaki-san now Aniki.' as he headed out.
Now Ayaka or as she is more commanly known as iincho had had better mornings. the discontent on her face was clearly visible. 'Its bad enough that I have to be around that monkey during school but in my dreams as well.' She was taking a sip of some tea when her butler approached her. "My lady it would seem you have a visitor." She looked up. "Oh who now?" she asked annoyed. Her butler replied "Well a child came by claiming that he was your teacher." Ayaka paused for a second. "Shall I send him away miss?" Imeadiatly Ayaka bolted upright from her chair almost knocking over her faithful butler "A child teacher you mean Negi-sensei is visiting!" "Hyate tell him to wait for a second while I get ready!" She spoke as she pranced off. The Butler Hyate bowed "of course misstress." (A.N. a thousand points to whoever got the reference in the last two sentances)
Negi was walking along a path along joined with Asuna Konoka and Regulus who had a look of 'I really wish I wern't here right now.' As they approached Negi could not help but marvel in the size of the mansion.
"Whoa this is bigger than some off the buildings on campus." Regulus oh so casually threw in "Big? It freakin Windsor castle-at least that hasn't changed." He said the last part under his breath.
Ayaka bust out of the front door prancing down the pathway to meet Negi. She chimed out "Gooood morning Negi-" But suddenly face planted when she saw the two people that she least wanted to see. "Nice to see you too Aniki." Regulus stated sarcasticly. "Dressed kinda fancy to be rollin on the ground." Asuna remarked.
"WELL WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING HERE!" Ayaka shouted back. to which Regulus answered in the simpilest way possible "Uhhh Gaurdians." He pointed to himself Asuna and Konoka then pointed at Negi "Gaurding."
"Besides who knows what you would do to him when your alone." Asuna threw in to which ayaka countered "Well I would do this!" she spoke as she swung a kick at Asuna which Asuna countered with her own kick. Konoka Regulus and Negi mearly looked on and sweat dropped.
After the two combantants had finished sparring Ayaka decided to get to the point "So Negi sensei to what do I owe you the vist." Negi started to explain then noticed Asuna making a slashing motion across her throat "Well actually I just wanted to get to know the class Rep a little better." The answer made Ayaka almost swoon the blonde quickly recovered herself "Well Negi-sensei I am honered would you care to see my room?" "Wow Aniki is a fast worker I'll give her that." Regulus commented.
"So this is my room." Ayaka showed Negi. The ten year old simply marveled at it's size. The gaurdians on the other hand..."Wow nothings changed here Aniki the veiw still lookes awsome." Regulus commented "Its still the same since we were in prmaray school." Asuna stated. "Please feel free to visit any of the other rooms besides this one." Ayaka stated sarcasticly."
Ayaka turned her attention back to Negi "So I hear you like herbal tea?" she asked "Yes how did you know." "Well..." She started as her butler rolled in a tea cart loaded with every single tea imaginable. promptly running over Regulus. "I happen to be some what of a conosuer my self."
Asuna just sighed "Comon lets leave this baka and go for a swim." "Okay!" chimed in Konoka. Regulus stood up "Aw yeah I forgot Aniki had a pool here." "Hey wait for me!" Negi left. followed shortly by Ayaka.
A little while later every one was at the pool "Come on in Negi wanna race?" Asuna asked but Konoka countered "No way Asusna swims faster than a dolphin." To which Negi came back wittingly with "Thats because Asuna swims very porpisfully ha ha ha huh?" The boy quickly stopped when he noticed no one was laughing "Dude that was bad..." Came a reply from Regulus who was on the diving board he turned to Konoka and Asuna "Clear outta the way guys Kawabunga!!" He dove of the spring board and landed with a big splash. "Wow so much energy its like they were kids." Negi commented
"Yet compared to you Negi-sensei who is so mature even for only being ten years old." Ayaka complimented/flirted. She continued "Asuna and Konoka have been like that since primary school." Negi asked "So you were frinds back then?"
"Friends like hell we were mortal enemies!" Ayaka suddenly burst out. She continued ranting "Our intrests would clash and we would sabotage each other at sport events." Negi sweat dropped.
"Oh I'm sorry sensei." Ayaka quickly composeded her self. Negi turned his attention to a room filled with toys. "Iincho-san is that room your little brothers room its filled with toys?" the ten year old asked Ayaka quickly changed the touchy subject "That room is...vaccant now would you like some cookies?" she asked as her maid brought in a plate of cookies
"Oh boy would I ever I love cookies they remind me of the ones my sister used to make." Negi was happily eating the cookies wile Ayaka became lost in Negi's cutness...until she couldn't take it anymore She immediatly grabbed him and put him in a fan girl hold thus giving Negi a prompt introduction to Ayaka's endowments.
"Sensei." The blonde girl spoke seductively "I could be your Onii-chan if you want." Negi was beat red and not to mention embarassed but there was a more pressing matter to adress. "Well thats great Iincho but...breathing getting problimatic."
Thankfully this was remidied by Asuna giving Ayaka a drop kick to the face all while screaming "Get your slimy hands off him you Child molester!" Regulus and Konoka couldn't help but laugh at the child molester bit.
Ayaka was now pissed "Thats it Iv'e had it Asuna you always interfere with me." Regulus only added to the chaos "Yaeh Asuna Aniki can't help it if she's a pervert and likes to rub up against little-OOOMPH!!" Regulus's remark was cut off by Ayaka nailing him in the gut. "I'VE HAD IT YOU TWO GET OUT OF MY HOUSE AND GET OUT OF MY LIFE!!" "Fine fine! come on Konoka we're leaving!" the two girls then departed. Regulus spoke "Alright alright I get it Aniki I'm gone!" He turned to the bewilderd Negi "Hey it's your call you can saty if you want." and with that Regulus departed
A short time later Regulus had joined Asuna amd Konoka on the path leading back to the academy Regulus was the first to speak "Well judging by Aniki's reaction I would say the mission is a success that was nice of you to do that." "Well It just seemed like the right thing to do but I'm more surprised that you know about Iincho." was Asuna's reply Konoka chimed in "Yeah cause you call her Aniki are you two related." Regulus's response came in the of of a "AW HELL NO!" to which the next question was "Then how do you know her?"
"Well I suppose it's only fair that you guys know." Regulus began explaining "Well first off me and Ayaka are not related (thank god) I simply call her Aniki as in Boss bacause I lived with the Yukihiro family for six months." the two girls just listened intently. Regulus continued "Well as it would turn out my folks were good friends with the Yukihiro's (Tho I'm not sure why) but it turned out to be a good thing when I passed out from hunger while traveling a year back." (AN:While Aniki is an informal way to refer to a sibling it is also a term used for a Yakuza gang boss which is more fitting Regulus's character)
"So hold on a sec If you were with Iincho then why haven't I heard of you?" Asuna raised a question. "Well thats because like I said I was only there for six months and didn't attend Mahora tho when Aniki came home she would always be complaining abut this Red head with bells in her hair." He looked at Asuna "I'm just taking a wild stab here but I'm asuming thats you?"
"Guilty as charged." She replied "So why do you call her Aniki?" Konoka asked.
"Cause I waited on her hand and foot!" Regulus replied.
"Typical of Iincho to make you her servant." Asuna commented
"No I did it of my own free will." Regulus stated this was followed by a HUH! from both girls.
Regulus got a mischevious grin on his face "Well I did those things so I would have an excuse to raise hell at the Yukihiro house...Cause you can't really kick sombody out if they are willing to serve you with out question."
Asuna understood "Well I can't argue with that." Regulus smirked "Well even though we didn't know each other I guess we made quite a team you would give Aniki hell at school and I would give her hell at home." He then Gave Asuna a high five "Heh and ya know any enemy of Aniki is a friend of mine."
"Well thanks for the compliment." Asuna replied. "Now that I'm thinking about it Iincho did seem a bit more irritable at the begining of last year." Konoka commented. Regulus mearly replied "Yep that was me."
"So then why did you leave?" Asuna asked. Regulus answered "Well next thing I know when the summer starts I get picked up by my big brother and next thing I know I'm riding on giant airships and fighting robots over the skies of an island kingdom in the south pacific."
"No way your just pulling our legs! Regulus-kun."
"Your right I was." came the blondes reply (AN:he actually isn't kidding and you will get 500 points and a cookie if you can guess what he's refering to)
The three then proceeded back to the dorms Regulus said goodbye and then headed back up to his cabin on the way he passed Setusuna neither of them said a word to each other Regulus however was relived because Setsuna being emotionless meant that she had gotten over his off comment that morning.
Present day
Regulus stood up "Well enough of enjoying the sunset I gotta pack my things since I leave the day after tomorow." he continued his thoughts 'It is nice of Asuna and Negi to let me crash at their place for tomorrow night.'
And on that note Regulus jumped off the dorms and stuck the landing and headed off.
