I do not in anyway own any content related to Mahou Sensei Negima, this is a fan made story
The hellish search continued. Negi and Sayo still had nothing apart from that the little girl doesn't like talking about her parents. They had to learn that the hard way by almost getting crushed by chairs and desks. Neither was them were particually looking foward to seeing her again...that is if she shows up.
They continued down the dark, dusty hallway. Negi didn't think a school could be so scary at night, although walking with a spirit while trying to catch a spirit was a little awkward. Sayo on the other hand rather enjoyed spending time with Negi, even if it was just to catch the little girl. It bothered her though, Negi is still only ten and ghosts are usually something ten year olds would be scared off. How was she going to protect him if she's just a ghost herself? The constant worrying was distracting her from the important task, sensing the little girls presense.
They were nearing the staff room, strangely enough the closer they got, the more Sayo would start to feel...something. The hallways would start to feel smaller, giving both of them the slightest sensation that the walls were closing in on them. It forced Negi to curl up, trying to make as much space possible between him and the wall. At last they reached the door, but neither of them were thrilled about it. They both lookedat one another, making it obvious that the two didn't want togo in.
"No...we must" thought Negi.
He was determined to protect Sayo, whether she was in any harm or not. He made the best smile he could, trying to comfort her and politely noded. His footsteps grew louder with both determination and fear while approching the door, the seemingly harmless door...
Negi took a deep breath in, sucking the emotion's of depression that gloamed around him. His hand took a tight grip around the handle, it was loose and started to shake like mad, showing Negi's fear. He took his time, not being in a hurry to find the little girl. It was a mistake he should have never made. The handle started to glow red as it heated up, a loud 'ssshhhh' sound was heard as the hot metel burnt Negi's hand, causing him to yelp out like a dog. The smell of burning flesh scented the room, over taking any emotions of depression and replacing them with satisfactory to Negi's pain.
He grabbed his wrist and stretched his palm out wide as the burn graced against his skin. An easily visable red mark covered his hand, leaving Negi slighlty disturbed. They could both hear the little girls laughter creep through the keyhole, whispering through the air and skimming past there ears. It made Sayo shiver, and she's suppose to be a ghost!
"Are you ok!" asked Sayo.
Negi looked over to her, she could see the tears in his eyes and how hard he was trying to keep them in. She couldn't blame him thought, Negi may be a techer, but he was still ten and wounds like that must of hurt.
"Allow me to open it" smiled Sayo.
It was hard for Sayo, attmepting to lift objects and open doors. Being a ghost did have it's weak points to. She placed her hand over the hot handle and closed her eyes. She started to push herself, summoning all the energy she had to her hand, allowing it to grab the handle. Negi could see how hard Sayo was trying, her face was actully turning red! The handle slowly creaked down, making the click sound that indicated that the door was now open. Sayo let out a long and silent gasp, she could feel the emotions around them turn to anger. Obviously the little girl wasn't happy that Sayo was ruining her fun.
"That was great Sayo!" complimented Negi.
Her face turned a different colour of red, if that was even possible. She wasn't use to Negi complimenting her. Negi slowly stretched his other arm out, firmly placing his palm on the wooden door. Oddly enough to him, it was cold, colder than what a door should be. He didn't hesitate this time, he pushed hard and the door swung open. A cool breeze roamed out the room, crashing into Negi and Sayo. As they walked in, they could tell that the little girl had been in the room.
The window wasn't open and yet the room was freezing. The atmosphere in the room was devastating. The air was thin and there emotions started to kick in like mad. Negi couldn't help but feel sad, then happy, then disappointed. Sayo on the other hand could feel the little girls presence was very close, next to them infact.
"Sayo...why do I feel so sad?" sobbed Negi.
She could see tears run down his eyes, that wasn't Negi at all...something was wrong.
"I...I think the little girl is...sharing her emotions with you" answered Sayo.
"Is...that good?" said Negi, he sounded confused now.
"I think so...if she is comfortable sharing how she feels with you then somehow, you interest her" replied Sayo.
"Where is she?" asked Negi, now he was excited.
"She's close...but where?".
Sayo looked around the room. The floor was covered with papers and colouring pencils which intrigued both of them. Negi turned to the side and saw the light switch. He stumbled over to it and flicked the switch, brightening up the messy room. As he turned to Sayo, her eyes lit up as she looked down at the papers. Negi turned his attention to the floor and his jaw was forced open by the sights.
Drawn pictures of the little girl holding a knife was all over the papers. Some had picture of what appeared to be Fuuka and Fumika, others were Kazumi and Haruna. Alot of the pictures were scribbled over with red colouring pencil. The floor had so many of the same pictures that it hurt Negi's eyes. It was only until he looked around that something caught his eye. It was another picture but this time the little girl was holding someone's hand. Another picture covered half of it up, forcing Negi to walk over to it. He leaned down and gently grabbed the side of the paper, skimming it away and revealing the other figure. Negi found it confusing first, it was Kotaro. Why would the little girl draw a picture of her and Kotaro holding hands?
While Negi examined th picture, Sayo continued to look around the room, trying to spot the little girl. The bright yellow walls made it hard to spot the see through girl. She would look under tables and through closets but the little girl was nowhere in sight.
"Uh...I feel sad again" notified Negi. Another tear feel from his eye. Sayo watched it drip down his cheek and fall to the floor. Just as it hit the floor, Sayo suddenly felt something wet land on her head. She placed her palm on her snow white hair and slowly looked up. A cold mist was floating above them, Sayo was amazed she hadn't noticed it earlier. The mist looked like cotton candy, fluffy and soft. As she looked further across the room, she finally spotted the little girl. She was right above Sayo, leeched on the ceiling. Sayo could see her curled up into a ball, sucking her thumb as she cried herself to sleep. Sayo completely ignored the dangers and floated up, inches away from the little girls face.
"W-Whats wrong?" Sayo nervously asked.
The little girl looked drowzy. Another tear fell from her eye which then made a tear fall from Negi's eye. Her eyes slowly opened as they met with Sayo's.
"Mummy isn't here yet..." whispered the little girl.
"When was she suppose to come?".
She ignored the comment and turned her attention to Negi who was still looking at the picture of Kotaro. Sayo watched as her sad expression's turned to anger.
"You shouldn't talk about mummy and daddy when there not here..." whispered the little girl.
"I don't like that look..." said Sayo.
"He will be mine..." growld the little girl.
Sayo had no idea if she was talking about Negi or Kotaro, but she wasn't going to wait to find out. She grabbed hold of the little girls arm. Her eyes glowed red at she glared at Sayo with rage. A large shriek blew Sayo back and vibrated across the room, alerting Negi. He quickly turned and saw the little girl. He quickly turned to face the little girl.
"What do you want with Kotaro!" questioned Negi.
"I want him..." whispered the little girl.
The comment made Negi twitch. He was now concerned for Kotaro's safety. The little girl crawled away, melting into the wall and disappearing. Negi suddenly felt better as Sayo felt the little girls presence disappear again.
"I have a bad feeling about her..." asked Negi.
"I think I know why she is here now. That little girl is waiting for her parents to appear...I wonder what happened" replied Sayo.
"She's waiting for her parents? But then...why was her skull ouside? This is so confusing. The pictures are worrying me, what could the little girl possibly do to them?" said Negi.
"We should regroup with everyone. This isn't the room that she likes to rest in, maybe if we follow her, she'll lead us there".
"Right, regroup with everyone and then we find out where she likes to rest. This is harder than I thought...Why is she being so open with us?" asked Negi.
"Don't you remember sensei? I wanted to be noticed by everyone in the class and so does the little girl. Yue may have said that spirits hate being disturbed, but they want you to know that there here. She wants you to notice her. I think she is drawn to your magic and that is why she shared her emotions with you...how did you feel?" answered Sayo.
"I felt...sad. Like apart of me was gone, I felt lonely and betrayed".
"Poor girl..." whispered Sayo.
"Yes, this ends tonight. I want her to be at peace and join her parents in heaven, thats all that matters now".
"Right!".
They both looked at each other with courage, happy that they agree with one another. Both of the left the staff room and entered the hallway. This time though, the hallway seemed to be different. It wasn't as thin as they remembered it to be from when they were approching the staff room. Everything seemed cooler and the walls wern't as dusty anymore. There eyes were consentrated on the floor, where little footprints glowed.
"They must be the little girls..." whispered Negi.
Slowly and calmly they followed them. The classroom doors were now shut and everything seemed quite. The footprints lead them back to the middle of the school were everyone split apart. They could see the footprints curl around the corner where Kazumi and Haruna went, which worried them. Just as they were about to turn, they ran into Kotaro, Fuuka and Fumika who all looked shaken up.
"Kotaro! Did you find anything?" asked Negi.
Kotaro didn't reply at first. His eyes were opened when he saw the footprints leading away from them. They seemed to be floating a few inches above the floor boards but that wasn't freaking Kotaro out. The fact that they were even there did. What was creating the footprints?
"No...no we didn't. How are those...how are they even there?" asked Kotaro.
"There the little girls tears, she wants us to follow her..." answered Sayo.
"I don't understand ghosts at all..." whispered Kotaro.
"Are we actully going to follow here?" asked Fumika.
"Yeah! She possesed me! She's scary!" shouted Fuuka.
"She what?" said Negi.
"We had a little incident in the girls bathroom, it was nothing. I can tell you that she doesn't rest there...although you probably already knew that" replied Kotaro.
"Kazumi and Haruna may be in danger, we should hurry" interrupted Sayo.
They all noded and started to run, hoping that they wern't too late.
Haruna and Kazumi were quitely walking around the old library. The only light in the room was coming from the nearby windows. It's rays smeared through the window and bounced of the floor, brightening up the area. The books in the library were old, it wa amazing they hadn't disintagrated. Haruna looked at the bookshelfs, running through the A section all the way down to Z. The books were well organised and made Haruna grin, she knew Nodoka liked spending time in the library and must have done it. Kazumi found it boaring, finding no more supernatural activity. Sure, the picture's were a thrill, but when it came to Kazumi, the spirit itself wouldn't be enough. She always wanted more and expected more. The little girl was disappointing her, not showing up.
"Guh...Im not going to get much in here. I thought this little girl was suppose to be angry at us..." sighed Kazumi.
"You want it to attack us? It's no wonder you always get such big news" replied Haruna.
The creaks in the ground always alerted Haruna, she didn't know what to expect from the little girl. Every now and then, somehing would twinkle in the corner of her eye. She would always turn and check only to find out that it was the moons light reflectin off something and into her eye. It would freak her out, knowing that the ghost could be watching her and she wouldn't even know.
Kazumi on the other hand was like a radioactive bomb ready to go off. She was filled with negativety ready to blast out because the little girl was doing very little.
"It's official, this ghost is boaring. She's nothing like Sayo" growled Kazumi.
"Don't say that! You'll make her angry" shouted Haruna.
"She's not even here".
At that moment, a loud slam was heard behing Kazumi. She turned and saw a book on the floor.
"Must have fallen off the shelf..." whispered Kazumi.
Just incase, she took a picture anyway. The flash lit up the room and revealed several dust particles floating around the air for a split second before disappearing again. Kazumi looked at the camara and didn't like what she saw. The picture was od the little girl, charging Kazumi with rage. Usually Kazumi would be thrilled but something about the little girls face just...
"We...We should leave" suggested Kazumi.
"Really? What's wrong?" asked Haruna.
Kazumi started to feel uneasy, as if the little girl was clinging onto her soul. She could feel her stomach churn with discomfert. Kazumi really wanted to leave.
"Nothing, let's just get back to Negi and Kota-"
The sound of Kotaro's name angered the little girl. She wanted him and Kazumi was going to take him away from her. Before Kazumi could finish her sentance, books around her and Haruna started floating of the shelf, all aiming at them. They both gulped loudly as the books rotated, building up speed and becoming more dangerous.
"RUN!" shouted Kazumi.
As she took the first step, a barrage of books were launched infront of her, forcing Kazumi back. More were thrown at them as they ducked down an rolled around, dodging the fast spinning books. The little girl screeched with anger as there dodging annoyed her more. The screech hurt there ears, but that didn't stop them. The books then formed a circle around Kazumi and Haruna, they all dashed at them but they ducked, forcing the books to crash into each other and tear. Paper flew everywhere and got it the way, giving the little girl the advantage. The books flew past the paper that was hiding them and hit the girls, knocking them back into more books. Eventully they were forced to the ground, getting irritated by the books. Haruna and Kazumi covered there heads while the books continued to slam on top of them. The could hear the little girl's faint comments whisper in there ears.
"Time for you to go away..." giggled the little girl.
At that moment, a large creaking sound was heard. Haruna looked up and was met with a shocking sight. One of the bookshelfs slowly tipped foward, blocking the moon's rays and creating darknss around the library. The books continued to pound against them and stopped eitherof them from running. The bookshelf fell quicker, looking down at Haruna and Kazumi as it approched there demise. They both screamed for help as the bookshelf was about to hit.
A sudden gust of wind forced them back. Both Kazumi and Haruna watched as Negi cleared a path using his magic to hold up the heavy bookshelf and blow back the books.
"Run! I can't hold it much longer!" shouted Negi.
They didn't hesitate to reply and jumped to there feet. Both of them ran past Negi and out the library, leaving Negi to do the rest. He struggled to hold the bookshelf up while blocking the books from hitting him. Finally, he rolled back, using the wind to slam the doors shut. A loud scream echoed through the hallway as the little girl failed. Loud thumps could he heard banging against the door as books slammed into it. Moments later, everything went silent. Negi was on the floor, exausted. They all stared at the battered door as the stunning event took over there bodies.
"That...w-was close" gasped Negi.
Heres Chapter 5! Negi and Sayo have discovered why the little girl is still at Mahora, but with dire consequences. What more could the little girl do now after almost ending Kazumi and Haruna's life?
Any reviews will be appreciated!
