Here's the first new chapter of the year. This chapter was meant to be even longer then it is, but I decided to add the fight in the next chapter. Good news as well the next chapter is going to be the start of the Eva Ark(kind of). I took a break from writing for a few weeks and just read fanfics and played some videogames. But I'm starting on the next chapter right away so we can head on into the much anticipated Eva Ark.
By the way, A lot of Negima fan's know that the girls and Negi have a wide wardrobe besides their classroom uniforms. And I've been trying my best to come up with so cool cloths for Sora and the OCs, getting lots of idea's from fashion mags, and several different fan arts out there for various series, but I'm running low. If any body has a idea for an outfit for Sora, the OCs, or the Negima characters' themselves. Then please let me know in a review or PM. There are no rules other than it has to be reasonable. Nothing too out there please.
Note: Nek-Jin and any other race names belong to Makuhari-Fan01. Who has given me permission to use them. Thanks Again Maku!XD The terms are used from Makuhari-Fan01's story, Ala Alba in the World of Magic. A very good story that I highly recommend to any one who reads this. Ojou-sama means like young mistress, basically the way it's being used is to address Ayaka who is from a wealthy family. The name of the clothing store that Tanehana and the others are inside of, Yunikoon Shijo, is basically Unicorn Shop(A reference to FF13). A kappa is a water demon from Japanese folk stories. Amuro Ray is the first protagonist of the Gundam series. Ore-sama means "me" as it says, but it's the most narcissistic way of saying me in Japanese. Fan's of KH2 may remember it as the kanji Seifer wore on his kit cap.
Kingdom Hearts belongs to Tetsuya Nomura & Negima belongs to Ken Akamatsu.

Chapter 14: Yesterday's Enemy Is Today's Nemesis, The Yankee Mage Hates You!
In a lavish room, a young girl tossed and turned in her bed. This girl was Yukihiro Ayaka, the class president of the Mahora Middle School Girl's Class 2A, or soon to be 3A once their brake was over and she would return to class. Ayaka suddenly awoke and shouted.
"Ku! T-T-That Brat!" She shouted. "Who Is She Calling-!" Ayaka stopped realizing she had just awoken from a dream. A woman in maid clothing came into the room with a slightly worried look on her face.
"Ojou-sama*! Is something the matter? I heard shouting." The woman asked. Ayaka placed her palm over her face.
"It's nothing, just dreaming of the past..." She told the maid. She began to remember the dream she had was that of something long ago. Back when she was in the first grade and she meet a certain someone.
The teacher stepped forwards toward the class. The young Ayaka looking at her eagerly. Even then she was her class's president. Behind the teacher was another girl Ayaka's age. She was a sad looking girl, with long orange hair that where held in two long tails by two bells. Her face was an emotionless frown.
"OK...Let me introduce our new student." The teacher told them. She stepped back to reveal the girl to all the class. "This is Kagurazaka Asuna-chan. She's transferring here from overseas. Let's all make her feel welcome here, and be nice OK."
Asuna was placed near Ayaka. For the rest of the day Asuna stared blankly at everyone as if she was annoyed by everyone and everything that happened, especially Ayaka. Finally Ayaka spoke up to her.
"Hey Asuna!" She called. "What's with that stare and that attitude? Don't you think that's a bit conceited for someone who just transferred here?"
"..." Asuna muttered. However, Ayaka couldn't hear.
"Eh?" Ayaka said.
"..." Asuna again muttered. But, Ayaka still could not hear.
"What is it! Speak up!" Ayaka told her.
"Brat!..." Asuna said.
"...!" Ayaka snapped. "What! You're The Brat You Shrimp!"
"It takes one to know one baka!" Asuna said.
The two began to throw punches, pull hair, and kick at each other. As the teacher attempted to pull them apart, the students cheered on and made bets. And so the two have been at odds ever since. Ayaka's thoughts returned to the present. She lifted herself from bed and dressed herself. Her servants greeted her as she walked through the halls in her lovely English dress. Ayaka sat down at a small table and asked for her morning tea. Her butler returned with a cup of red tea.
"Oh yes, Ojou-sama, a young child called us this morning and left a message." He told Ayaka. "The boy clamed to be your teacher..."
"Eh! N-NEGI-SENSEI CALLED!" Ayaka exclaimed. She jolted and the mention of her beloved instructor, so much so that she nearly spilled her tea across the floor and table. "WHAT DID HE WANT!"
"I have the message here Ojou-sama..." He told her. Ayaka took the memo from his hands and read it over.
"KYA! YES! HE SAYS HE WANTS TO VIST ME AT HOME TODAY!" She exclaimed. Ayaka began to twirl around the floor with delight. "Ho, Ho, This Is Great! The Best Day Ever! I Need To Change Into My Best Dress!"
"O-ojou-sama is so excited today..." One of the maids said. Ayaka stopped her twirl once she remembered that people where watching.
"Oh! Ahem! It would appear that my class's teacher is coming to visit." She told the numerous maids. "Everyone do your best to make sure that no mistakes are made today."
The maids all saluted and acknowledged the young lady's command.
Elsewhere, Negi was preparing to depart to Ayaka's home. He was dressed in his green teacher's suite and had his trusty staff strapped to his back. Asuna and Konoka where dressed in there school uniforms, minus the blazers. Konoka was checking to make sure Negi's tie was straight. Asuna was waiting impatiently near the door.
"Come on already! Konoka what the hell is taking you?" She rushed them.
"Konoka-san..." Negi said. "I'm fairly certain that my tie is fine..."
"I'm just giving you a quick double check..." She told him as she slowly tightened and straighten the tie. She nearly strangled Negi in doing so. "Too tight then I'll have to start over...!"
"What's with you Konoka? It's like your stalling for time..." Asuna said. Then something clicked in her mind. "Your not planning something are you...?"
"How could you think that...?" She asked Asuna as she finished readjusting Negi's tie.
Just then there was a sudden knock on the door. It opened and the trio saw Sora standing there. He was dressed in a dark blue jacket, with a white shirt, and dark jeans. In his left hand he had a bag of groceries.
"Yo! Hey Konoka-san! I have the stuff you asked for." He said with a smile. Before another word could be said, Konoka had shoved Asuna and Negi outside.
"We got no time to waste! Let's get going!" She told them. "I'll place the groceries up real quick and join you two outside."
"She was planning something..." Asuna thought. "Oh well who cares as long as it doesn't effect our plans..."
"Huh? But Sora-kun...!" Negi said as he was dragged by Asuna outside.
"Huh? What was that about?" Sora asked Konoka.
"Oh nothing! We're in a bit of a rush, but I'm glade you made it in time." She said. "I hate to do this but could you please do me another favor..."
"Well..." Sora sighed. "I am going to be busy today, but I've got some time to kill till I meet Nee-chan...So OK I guess."
"Perfect!" She said as she handed Sora a envelope. "Could you wait here for a little bit until someone shows up? And when they do give them this message?"
"I can't stay longer then two hours though..." Sora told her.
"It's OK, that should be plenty of time. Till then just hang out have some food, whatever!" She told him. Konoka began to pull the door close. "The groceries go over there! Have fun!" was the last thing she said before the door was closed.
"Well that was...kinda weird...even for her...whatever..." Sora sighed. He put up the groceries and noticed that they had plenty of some of the items Konoka wanted. "What was the point of me getting more?" He asked himself. He laid down on Konoka's bunk and repeated where he all had to go to day. "First, shopping with Nee-chan...then Kumogiri has some magic study equipment to give me...he also said that he found something important out."
Sora sat around bored. He then pulled from his pocket the practice wand that Kumogiri gave him. Sora opened a window and looked out side. A few days ago he had managed to be able to make the wand shine for almost twenty minutes. And in secrete Sora had been practicing a spell he had heard Negi say. He checked out side and there was no one around. Sora pointed the wand outside.
"Practe Bigi Nar, Spiritus Lux Coactus Et verberatus deorsus Mea inimicus! Sagita Magika!(Spirits of the Light Gather And Strike Down My Foe! Magic Arrow!)" Sora chanted as a blast of light shot straight out the window. Sora watched as it didn't really make it far out of the window before it erupted. The outside was covered in a blinding light. Sora rubbed his eyes for a minute. "Damn it...I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to do that...What am I doing wrong?" He wondered.
Sora practiced a couple more spells. He also took two wands and with each cast a beginner's spell. One spell was lit and the other had a small flame dancing over the tip of the wand. Sora hand to concentrate severely to keep both going. Kumogiri had told him this is the perfect training for someone like Sora, to increase their endurance. After about thirty minutes of practicing Sora placed his wands on the table and began to fix him some food. Sora prepared him some Tekkadon*. He had just finished preparing his food when he heard a knock at the door. Suddenly Asahi barged in.
"Hey Sorry For Just Coming In, But-!" She started. Once she saw that Sora was the only one present she scowled. "Hey what are you doing here? Where's Konoka, and Asuna?"
"They took off somewhere with Negi-kun, I don't know where..." Sora told her. "Konoka asked me to wait for someone, so I'm guessing it was you Asahi-san." He handed Asahi the envelope from Konoka. "She asked I give this to you." She took the envelope and opened it.
Asahi-chan!
Sorry but something came up and Asuna and I will be occupied all day! I know that we where going to do some shopping and hang out today, but don't worry! I Arranged that Sora-kun will be here and you can spend the day with him. Go on a date or something you know you want to! Besides, now that we're gone you have nothing better to do all day! Have Fun!
From,
Konoemon Konoka.
"Like Hell I Would You-!" Asahi thought. She crumbled up the parchment and tossed it into the near by trash bin.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Sora asked as he fixed his bowel.
"Not a thing..." Asahi said. "I wouldn't put it past her from planning this whole thing..." She thought. Asahi took a seat at the small table and laid her head on it. "but she's right I don't have anything else to do...maybe I should go home and practice my violin..." Suddenly something was set in front of her. Sora had set down his bowel of Tekkadon and served it to her. "Huh...what?"
"You can have that bowel. There is still enough for me..." Sora said. He quickly fixed himself a new bowel and sat opposite of her. Asahi excepted and began to eat with Sora.
"Not that I care but what are you doing for the rest of the day...?" She asked with a sigh.
"Huh? Well I'm going to be shopping with Nee-chan, for a while..." Sora told her.
"Shopping huh..." She thought.
"...Then I'm meeting with Kumogiri-san..." Sora told her.
"OH!" She exclaimed. "Ah...meeting with Kumogiri-sempai...I haven't really talked to him since that first day Sora arrived!"
"Hey want to come along and speak with him for a little bit?" Sora asked. "He has some magic tools to give me, but you could spend the time to get to know him more!"
"Shopping and Kumogiri-sempai...!" She thought. "Maybe spending the day with Sora-san won't be all bad..." She then noticed the two wands sitting there on the table. "Hey those aren't what I think they are!" Asahi picked up the wand with a star tip.
"Oh! Yeah they're practice wands for my training..." Sora told her. He picked up the moon tipped wand. "Partita Bigi Nar, Ardescat!(Burn)" Sora chanted as a flame appeared on the tip of the wand. Asahi lit up thinking how cool that was. Sora smiled as he added, "Its a simple beginner's spell like they do..."
"Wait, can't you already use magic? Why do you have to practice beginner stuff." She asked.
"The magic I use drains my magic in this world. So I'm learning how to perform the spells that Negi-kun, and the others use, because it's more controlled." Sora said.
"Humm..."Asahi said. She waved the wand a bit and fantasized about spell casting. She began to repeat the spells Sora had just said. "Partita Bigi Nar, Ardescat!"
Suddenly without much effort at all the fire appeared. Sora looked at her amazed. Kumogiri had told him that most people can't do it on their first try.
"No one ever gets it on their first try!" Sora said. "That's what Kumogiri-san said."
"Maybe he was just telling you that to make you feel better." She said with a sly smile and laugh. "Maybe I just have natural talent..."
"I don't know..." Sora thought. Asahi took her last bit of food, washed her bowel, and put it away. Sora did the same.
"Well, I guess I'll go with you, but we better hurry up and meet for Tanehana-san, before I change my mind..." She told him.
"Alright I gust got to lock up." Sora told her.
Sora locked the door behind him. He and Asahi walked down to the ground level of the girl's dorm. Just outside, they bumped into two other girls from Negi's class. Kashaku Amiai, and Mashin Fuujin. Amiai smiled and waved as the two came into view
"Hey look! Sora-kun and Asahi-san are going on a date!" Amiai exclaimed.
"You've Got That Wrong! Very Wrong!" Asahi yelled.
"Kashaku-san, and Mashin-san, right? I didn't know you two where friends..." Sora said.
"Fuu-chan and I have lunch and go shopping every now and then..." Amiai told him. "But she is better friends with Asuna-san then with me..."
"Asuna-san? Well I guess we might get to hang out mare some time then Mashin-san." He added. Fuujin only nodded in agreement, as she made a low gasps. Sora looked at her in silence, but no other reply came.
"Don't worry, Fuu-chan is always like that..." Amiai said. "Sometimes we are lucky to get a single word out of her!"
"I see..." Sora said. "Just like the Fuujin I knew..." He though.
"We got to go!" Amiai exclaimed as she and Fuujin went inside. "Have fun on your date you two!"
"IT'S NOT A DATE!" Asahi screamed as Sora laughed and dragged her with him to go and meet Tanehana.
Elsewhere Negi stood outside a lavish estate. A large gate contained inside what look like a western style mansion. With small pools of water and large trees in a row on each side of the main path within.
"My God! T...This place sure is big!" Negi exclaimed. "It's like a castle!"
Near the entrance of the home Hizashi Hinata stood in a lovely English dress, loaned to her by Ayaka. She kept her gazed fixated on the front gate.
"Madame President..." She sighed. "Calling me over for a "Emergency", and having it be to help her prepare for Negi-sensei's arrival at her home..." She sighed again. "What am I going to do with her...?...Huh!" Hinata spied Negi along with Asuna and Konoka standing at the gate. "What do you know there he is...though Ayaka-san, won't be happy that he isn't alone..." She turned around and entered the house. "Madame President! You're guest has arrived!" Hinata called, but before she could even say another word Ayaka was outside and running to the gates.
"NEGI-SENSEI!" She called out as she was accompanied by sparkles. "WELCOME! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR...!" She said, until Ayaka realized that Negi wasn't alone.
He was accompanied by Konoka and Asuna. Ayaka's legs stopped running but her body kept going onwards. She landed on her face and skid about two meters right in front of them.
"...What's with you?" Asuna asked with an annoyed look. "Don't go falling over the place...you may ruin that good dress, "Madame President"..."
"Wh-why Have They Come Along As Well! Why Is Asuna Here!" Ayaka exclaimed.
"Now, now calm down..." Konoka told her as she patted Ayaka's shoulder.
"It's simple..." Asuna said. "We're his guardians...G-U-A-R-D-I-A-N-S! You get me Ayaka?" Asuna patted Negi's head and began to rub it. "After all we can't just let him wander about unsupervised with a shotacon like you...who knows what kind of things you might do to him..."
"ARGH! WHY YOU TAKE THAT BACK, OR I'LL KILL YOU!" Ayaka shouted as she began to furiously kick at Asuna. Asuna dodged her attacks with ease, and soon threw punches of her own at Ayaka.
"WHY! I'M JUST STATING THE FACTS!" Asuna yelled at her.
"Ayaka, Asuna! Please not in public! People will stare!" Hinata pleaded.
With some help from Konoka, Negi, and a few of the maids, they where able to settle the two hotheads down. After a while Ayaka showed the garden to Negi, though to her dismay they where still followed by Asuna, Konoka, and Hinata. Ayaka though annoyed did her best to keep a friendly smile on her face. Negi marveled at the size and beauty of the garden.
"Amazing Ayaka-san! And you say this is only the front garden?" Negi questioned.
"Yes it is!" Ayaka told him. "Well then, Sensei? If I may ask what is it that made you want to come visit me today?"
"Well...umm...because today is..." He started before he looked over to Asuna. She raised her hand to her face and waved it as she closed her eyes. Signaling Negi not to say another word. "...Oh ah...no...I just felt that I should be better acquainted with the class's president is all."
"Eh!" Ayaka exclaimed as her eyes became big and bright. Her face began to turn pink. "Well...T-That's...Ah I'm Overwhelmed With Happiness!" Ayaka said as she began to whirl around and around. She grabbed Negi's shoulder with her left hand and rubbed his forehead with her right. "I Completely Understand! I Won't Bother Taking Any Longer With Negi-Sensei! If It's Alright With You We Can Now Embark On A Deeper Relationship..."
"That doesn't sound to good..." Hinata thought. "Do I seriously need to keep the president tied to a tree!"
"Well then..." Ayaka said leading Negi into the house. "Let's hurry off to the bedroom..."
"HUH!" Negi exclaimed.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! HEY!" Asuna exclaimed as well.
"Whoa! She's a fast worker..." Konoka thought.
As Negi and the others began to explore Ayaka's home Sora and Asahi had finally made it to the mall. They entered a large clothing store, called Yunikoon Shijo*, where they were to meet Tanehana.
"I've never been hear!" Asahi said as she examined at all the lovely cloths surrounding her.
"Hey look there! I think that's Nee-san." Sora said. "Tane-nee!" He called out.
It was indeed Tanehana as she squealed at hearing Sora call her. She leaped to her feet and waved to him. She was in the company of Awai, Shurako, Sukako, and Nami. Sukako and Nami joined Tanehana in waving and calling Sora over. Awai turned her face away and Shurako paid no attention to him. Seeing Sora arrive with an unexpected gust gave Tanehana a bubbly grin.
"Lookie, Lookie!" She squealed. "Little Sora brought along a date!"
"We Are Not On A Date!" Asahi exclaimed.
"No matter then..." Nami added. "We've already picked out some cloths for you OK!" She said as she pulled Sora towards the changing room. "Come on I'll help you change real quick!"
"HUH! W-Wait! Nami-San!" Sora protested as she took him into the changing rooms with her. Soon Sora's embarrassed shouts filled the area nearby as Nami removed his clothing.
"Sora-kun's been borrowing cloths from Kumogiri-kun, and Uindo-san, so Tane-chan figured we should get him his own wardrobe to ware since he'll be starting classes soon." Sukako informed Asahi.
"Whoa!" they heard come from the changing booth. A second later Nami popped her head out the door. "Hey Guess What! Sora-Kun Is Pretty Big For A Kid His Age!"
Asahi and Awai spit out in disbelief of what they just heard. Shurako turned red and looked away wail both Tanehana, and Sukako gave a "Oh is that so?" look at her with giggles mixed in.
"Your Not Supposed To Strip Him That Much!" Asahi exclaimed. Awai grabbed Asahi, Shurako, and Sukako by the arms and pushed them forwards.
"I don't think you'll need us for any of this..." She told Tanehana. "Just meet us when your done..."
"Aww, But I wanted to see Sora-kun's "size" as well..." Sukako teased.
Asahi and the three other girls began to look for cloths for them selves. The girls looked about for about an hour or two, before making a large selection of out fits for each of them. Sukako and Shurako took the first chance in the changing booths, wail Awai and Asahi waited out side. Asahi had found a nice outfit that she was dying to wear.
"I wonder if this could get Kumogiri-sempai's attention!" She thought to herself.
Awai was letting her eye wonder about bored out of her mind, when suddenly she noticed a gleam at the back of Asahi's left ear.
"Excuse me..." She asked the girl. "Asahi-san was it? Could I see that there?" She asked pointing to her ear.
"Huh? Do you mean this?" Asahi asked as she pulled her hair back and tilt her ear to the side. There was a small diamond piercing stub at the top of her ear.
"Oh my! Is that a diamond!" Awai asked. "Where on earth did you get that!"
"I don't know..." She told her. "I had it for as long as I can remember...I grew up here...And I'm going to school thanks to a scholarship from the Headmaster...And my parents where never part of the equation...This earring is the one thing of value that they left me with..."
"What happened to them..." Awai asked. Asahi looked down to the ground. "Oh! I'm Sorry! I didn't mean to upset you..."
"No it's fine...I just really don't know what happened to them..." Asahi said. "But I was given this precious diamond from them, and of all the places in the world that they could have left me, it was a wonderful place like this...Here at Mahora, I feel like I'm surrounded by this light. So I know that they must have cared for me in some small way, right...uh?"
"Inabikari Awai..." She told her.
"Huh!" Asahi said.
"My name..." Awai told her.
"Oh thank you Inabi-" Asahi started.
"Just Awai-san is fine..." Awai said.
"Yo!" Shurako called. "You two are up now!"
"Oh all right..." Asahi said.
The two girls entered the changing booth. Both where right next to each other in the next booth.
"Say could I ask you something else Asahi-san?" Awai asked. "If your not on a date or something...Then what are you doing with him?" She asked as she undressed in the next booth.
"Oh Sora-san..." Asahi said. "It's kinda complicated. I was really just bored today, and shopping sounded good. Though, my friend Konoka, wanted me see it as a date..." She said with a sigh as she removed her skirt.
"I can barely stand the little pervert..." Awai told her. "You must have the patience of a saint..."
"I didn't like him at first..." Asahi said as she stopped for a second. "But...He's kinda grown on me...Sora's not as bad as I first thought, he's actually kind of...well sweet when he tries to be...Not saying he doesn't have his faults though...Maybe you should give him another chance and get to know him better too..."
"Well...most of that stuff that did happen wasn't his fault..." Awai thought. "Maybe I'll try to be a little nicer...So then Asahi-san, do you have a boyfriend? Seeing as how your "not on a date", you know?"
"Oh! Well I-uh!" She said. "Not really...though I have someone in mind..." She added with a smile as her thoughts drifted to Kumogiri. "You know Awai-san...I often imagine my dream guy...that when I do confess that I like him, he might take a long look into my eyes..." Her fantasy of Kumogiri looked over her with a Bishounen like stare. "And then say something like about how beautiful I am, or maybe notice that earring that you did...and tell me something like..."A sparkling diamond like that is nothing compared to the shine of your gorgeous eyes...", ah!"
"Ahhh!" Awai sighed along with Asahi in romantic thought. "If only I could get a decent guy to say that to me..."
"Hey!" The two girls heard. The doors where kicked open and then Nami pulled each girl out, wail they where still in their underwear. She put both the girls in front of Sora who was now dress in cloths like a J-rock idol. "Doesn't Sora-Kun Look Adorable In Visual Kei!"
Sora's face turned bright red. As did Awai and Asahi. Sora noticed that Asahi was in a normal set of pearl white panties and bra, wail Awai wore a lavish red lingerie set. The next thing he knew Sora was sent flying away twenty meters, from the powerful combination of Asahi's fist and Awai's kick. Sora laid in a puddle of his own blood waiting for an angel of death to release him from his torment. But, he was brought to his feet after Tanehana whispered onto him a healing spell.
"Geez how many times do I have to apologize?" He asked him self. "You'd think that they wouldn't over react so much. I mean after all I have seen them both naked!"
"You Best Wipe That Pissed Off Look From Your Face Sora!" Asahi yelled. "Your Lucky That A Punch And A Kick, Was All You Got!"
"OK, OK! I hear you!" Sora complained. "But I keep telling you that this stuff isn't all my fault..."
"He's right now, cool down you two." Shurako told them.
"Nee-san, I need to get going now OK!" Sora told him. "Kumogiri-kun has some new books for me to study for my lessons with Shade-beard-sensei."
"Even Sora-kun gets those special lessons, I kinda wish I could come some time..." Sukako said.
"Can we just hurry up and go..." Asahi thought. "I really want to see Kumogiri-sempai!"
"Well we've got you a nice selection of your own cloths now..." Tanehana told him. She pushed Sora forwards. "Go on now! And tell Kumogiri-kun hi for us!"
"Sure thing..." Asahi called out to them as she and Sora left the store.
"Oh and Sora! Behave for the rest of your date!" Tanehana giggled.
"For The Last Time! WE ARE NOT ON A DATE!" Asahi yelled as Sora laughed at her frustration. Asahi looked at his laughing face and snapped. She began to pull on his cheeks and caused his face to get sore. "And What Are You Laughing At You Little Pervert!"
"Uoting(Nothing)! Ah whear(I swear)!" He said.
"Oh they make a good couple, don't you think?" Tanehana asked.
"Yep made for each other..." Shurako said in a monotone voice.
Sora and Asahi walked together side by side heading to where Kumogiri had asked to meet, the university. Asahi looked at Sora's cloths and actually noticed for the first time. He wore out of the store one of the new outfits Tanehana had just purchased for him. Sora had on a black long-sleeved undershirt, with a green European jacket over it. His pants were black jeans and at the bottom, Sora's large yellow shoes could still be seen. Around his neck was a black scarf, and under that Sora's crown necklace could be seen. Asahi gave him a couple of quick look overs as they walked on.
"I'll be damned..." She though. "He actually dose look kinda handsome..."
"Hey look there he is!" Sora said.
Asahi turned to face what Sora began to run to. It was him. Her crush, Souigiun Kumogiri. He wore a large dark hoodie with white under shirt and blue jeans. Asahi's faced turned red at just the site of him.
"Hey might want to calm down a little there!" Sora told her in a teasing voice after seeing her blush.
"Oh Shut It!" She told him as she tried her blush.
"Hey Sora-san! What are you doing? You where supposed to come alone." Kumogiri said.
"Oh, well if it's because of the "Magic Is A Secrete" thing...well it's kinda to late for that. Asahi-san already knows about magic...And if it's OK, maybe she could come around more to my lessons with you and stuff." Sora told him.
"Huh! When Was This!" Kumogiri asked.
"When we got stuck in the Deeper Library..." Sora told him. "Do you remember?"
"How could I forget...It was the worst weekend of my life..." He cried as he fell to the ground on all four. "Stuck that whole time in a cave with Uindo-sempai..."
"Ummm...are you going to be OK?" Sora asked. Kumogiri snapped back and regained his composure.
"Well since she dose know about magic, I don't mind if you bring her by every now and then..." He told them. "Just make sure you warn me next time that your bringing a date." Asahi flinched at his last comment.
"K-Kumogiri-Sempai! W-We Aren't-" She stammered. "I'm Not-!"
But Kumogiri ignored her comments. He reached into bag and pulled out two thick text books, handed them to Sora. Sora looked at the two books both had titles written in Latin, one read "Beginner's Guide To Magic", and the other had, "Secretes of Magic". Kumogiri handed him the bag this time. Sora took it and could tell that there where several more books inside.
"Those books in your hand are the one's that I want you to study specifically." He told Sora. "The other's are about the history of magic, rare magical abilities, magical beasts and monsters, and because I'm such a nice guy, I included a beginner mage's battle training book, with some basic combat spells for us to practice later..."
"R-Really! Awesome! Some Real Combat Training! It's About Time!" Sora exclaimed.
"Hey I have some more to tell you..." Kumogiri said.
"Huh? What's up?" Sora asked.
"Look the thing is..." Kumogiri said. "I found your ship..."
"The Gummi-Ship!" Sora said.
"Yeah. Do you want to go check on it?" He asked.
"Sure! Why not?" Sora told him. "Want to come along?" He asked Asahi.
"Fine with me..." She said. "I'm a little curious about this ship of yours as well."
Kumogiri lead them onwards inside of the University. Not far away though unbeknownst to them they where being watched. Two young men watched them from across the street. One of the two was resting against a tree, wail the other stood there glaring at Sora.
"Yo Boss! That's Defiantly The Guy Right! So Why Can't We Just Kick His Ass!" The angry one asked. The one that leaned against the tree opened his right eye and glared at the other.
"Shut the hell up Kyo..." He told him. "We'll move when I say we move..."
"Oh Sorry! Your right Boss..." The first one said. "It's just that, ever since he showed up...well...you know."
"Your still on about that!" the second boy asked. "What a baka..."
"But Boss! Aren't You Mad Too!" The other boy asked.
"Let her talk about who ever she wants. That shit doesn't bother me at all..." The second boy said as his eye followed their target. "Once he's away from Kumogiri again we'll strike..."
As the two boys waited for Sora, across the city Negi fond himself being lead all across Ayaka's home.
"And this is my bedroom!" Ayaka told him.
"My it is spacious..." Negi said.
"Whoa! The view hasn't changed at all since we where in primary school." Asuna said as she walked out onto a balcony.
"Madame President's home garden is cared for everyday by about three or four gardeners..." Hinata told them.
"Why don't you go play in the garden and leave us be Asuna-san." Ayaka thought to her self. She turned her attention back to Negi. "Negi sensei, you enjoy herbal tea, do you not?"
"Ah! Yes how did you know?" He asked. Ayaka seated him at a coffee table and snapped her fingers. Within moments a butler and maid appeared before them all. They then laid out glass after glass of different teas.
"I have obtained teas form several different plantations." Ayaka told him. "Please have whichever one you like."
"We have from the left..." the butler began. "Rosehip, Lemon, Barbena, Dandelion, German Carmomille, Omission, Elderflower, Senden, And Surge."
"Umm...T...Thank you." Negi said as a sweat drop fell down his head.
"We also have plenty of desserts, sensei!" Ayaka added as Negi and Konoka where knocked over by the trolley a maid rolled in covered in sweets and cakes.
"Madame President! Your Over Doing It Again!" Hinata exclaimed. Negi got to his feet and poured himself a cup of tea. He drank it down quite quickly.
"It's delicious miss president!" He told Ayaka. "I love herbal tea, because onee-chan always would make it for me."
"Ah..." Ayaka said as she began to blush. "...you have a older sister?" Hinata looked away with a sad look.
"OK, OK. Let's leave the rich shotacon on her own." Asuna said as she walked away. "Let' go for a swim Konoka, after all we did come all this way. Want to join us Hinata-san?"
"Oh! Well I suppose..." Hinata said.
"There's a pool here Negi-kun, do you want to see?" Konoka said as she pulled Negi by the hand.
"Eeeh? Really?" Negi said as he followed along.
"Ah! Wait A Minute! I Still Have More Things To Show Negi-Sensei!" Ayaka said.
But her cries where ignored. Hinata lead the way to Ayaka's indoor pool. It was massive easily as large as the baths in the girls dorms at the school. Hinata, Asuna, and Konoka each dressed in school swimsuits. Ayaka wore her own bikini while Negi wore swim trunks and short sleeved hoodie. Asuna, Konoka, and Hinata eagerly jumped into the water as Negi and Ayaka watched. The three girls splashed as played about.
"Negi-Sensei! Madame President! Want To Race!" Hinata asked.
"No thanks! Asuna-san is as fast as a kappa*." Ayaka told them. The three other girls continued to play.
"Ha, ha, ha..." Negi laughed as he took a seat in a pool chair.
"They certainly are as energetic as children aren't they?" Ayaka said as she sat next to Negi in another pool chair. "And yet compared to them, Negi-sensei is so wonderful and even clam, even though your the ten year old." She added as she took his and in hers.
"U...Um...Er..." Negi stammered as a sweat drop fell from him again.
"They and most of my class mates have been that way since primary school." Ayaka added. "Though in Asuna-san's case she was more tight lipped when she first transferred in..."
"Eh? So you two have been friends since primary school?" Negi asked.
"W...Who Would Be Friends With Her! We're Enemies! ENEMIES!" Ayaka exclaimed. "Our interests have clashed, we've tried to sabotage each other at sports and school festivals! We've fought all the way during the last seven years like we where natural enemies!" Negi's attention drifted away. He saw a room across from the indoor pool area through a near by window. He could also tell from the room's own window that it was filled with toys.
"Ah! Ayaka-san, that room over there..." He said pointing to it. Ayaka's smile left her as she looked at the room. "It seems to be filled to the brim with a young child's toys. Dose it belong to your younger sibling...A little sister, or little brother?" Ayaka seemed to force the room out of her thoughts as she shook her head "no".
"That room doesn't belong to anybody..." She said forcing her smile back. "More importantly Negi-sensei..." She said as a maid approached them with a tray of cookies. Ayaka snatched the cookies from the tray and set them in front of Negi. "Would you like to try some of my handmade cookies!" She asked causing the maid to jolt.
"UWAH! They Look Delicious! I Love Cookies!" Negi exclaimed. He began to eat cookie after cookie. "Humm! They're Great!"
"Try These Ones To! They Are Very Crunchy!" Ayaka told him handing him some more cookies. The maid set out some cups and a teapot. "Here, have some more tea. I cultivated these herbs myself, so I don't know how it tastes..."
"You made all of this yourself miss president! That's amazing!" Negi said as he drank his tea. He continued on eating and drinking Ayaka's cookies and tea, as she did nothing but watch him with red cheeks. Negi notice her staring and that she hadn't had any of the snacks in front of them. "Ah! I'm eating these all by myself. Would you like to have some too?" he asked.
"..." Ayaka simply stared at him. "Negi-sensei..." She finally said.
"Yes? What is it?" He innocently asked. Ayaka moved closer. She pulled him close and hugged Negi tightly. His face now buried in between her breasts.
"MMFH!" Negi muffled in a panic. Asuna, Hinata and Konoka noticed the child getting suffocated.
"Negi-sensei..." Ayaka said. "Could I be your onee-chan instead?"
"MMFH...Miss President!...UMFF HFHF!" He tried to speak. "I Can't Breath!" He thought. Negi was then freed by a drop kick from Asuna.
"Hey You! Shotacon Girl! Tone It Down A Bit Will You!" Asuna exclaimed as she freed Negi.
"GEH!" Ayaka exclaimed as she was knocked aside. She regained her composure and looked angrily at Asuna. "Wh...you've really done it this time Asuna-san!" Ayaka leapt over to the other girl and the two began to fight again. "Y-Y-Y-You've Been Doing Nothing But Interfere With Every Single Day, Of Every Single Year Of My Life!" She exclaimed.
"What! Isn't That Because You Do Something Stupid Stuff Every Single Day!" Asuna added. Ayaka stopped fighting and stood there furiously shaking.
"Argh! That Is It! You've Really Made Me Mad Now! I'm Not Talking To You Anymore!" Ayaka exclaimed. "Get Off My Property And Go Home!" Everyone stared at Ayaka. The maids that where in to room began to slowly exit, hoping that Ayaka may cool down with some space. Asuna turned up her nose, and turned around to the changing room. Konoka followed after her
"OK, OK, I Get It! Fine I'm Leaving!" She said.
"Hinata-san, please kindly show them to the door..." Ayaka said.
"Asuna-san!" Negi called.
"It's OK, Negi-kun. They're all ways like this." Konoka told him.
"I apologize sensei." Hinata said with a bow as she walked to the others.
"Forget us and stay here Negi." Asuna said looking back at him. "The rest here is all up to you..."
"Eh...All right..." Negi said.
"Hey miss president..." She called to Ayaka. "I'll take back the "Shotacon Girl" comment, at lest for today. I'm sorry..." She and the other three girls left the room.
"Asuna-san!" Negi called again.
"Bye!" was all she said before she vanished from sight leaving Negi and Ayaka alone in the pool area. Ayaka watched in silence.
"Is this OK with you, Asuna?" Konoka asked.
"It's fine." She told her.
"I'm sorry Negi-sensei..." Ayaka told him as she looked away, embarrassed and ashamed at her outburst. "That you saw such a rude side of me...It's just that my relationship with Asuna-san is really bad. All we seem to ever do is fight...It's been that way since day one. She hates me, and I ha-"
"That's Not True At All!" Negi exclaimed. She looked over to Negi in shock. He smiled and said. "You see it wasn't my idea to come see you today it was Asuna-san's. She wanted me to visit you to cheer you up."
"Eh?" She said with a surprised face.
"Asuna-san told me..." Negi said. "You had a little brother, didn't you? One that was about my age?"
"Ah..." Ayaka said as her memories went on to her past.
She was standing next to Asuna on the playground during recess. It had been a year since Asuna came to their school. Ayaka was practically jumping up and don with excitement.
"He's Going to Be Here Soon! My Little Brother Is Going To Be Born!" She squealed with excitement. "We've Already Got A Really Nice Room Ready For When He's Finally Here! It's Filled With Some Many Great Toys Too! I'm Sure That He'll Love It!"
"Un...is that so..." Asuna said.
Ayaka bragged about her new little brother coming soon that the entire class was talking about it. For months she wondered about what he would look like, and sound like. With each day that passed, Ayaka's excitement and anticipation grew. But, on the night that her mother was rushed to the hospital...
"Eeeeh? W-What do you mean I can't see him?..." The little Ayaka asked.
She was clutching tightly the bottom front of her dress. Her eye's where holding back huge tears and her face was red. Ayaka's father stood in front of her, her older sister only a meter to her left, neither could do any thing but stare at her fighting back tears themselves.
"..." He couldn't bare to say anything himself. "I'm sorry Ayaka, but you just can't...there was a problem with the delivery..."
"What...I don't get it..." Ayaka cried as her father knelt down and hugged her. "What's wrong! Did he get hurt! Can't The Doctors Make Him Better! Daddy! Onee-Chan! Where's Are Little Brother! Why Aren't Them Making Him Better!" She continued to cry. "...UEEEEEEHHHH!" She cried and screamed as huge balls of tears rolled down her face. Farther down the hall way Asuna watched quietly peeking around the corner.
Weeks later after that night Ayaka sulked at almost all times. She would spend her time in her brother's room, instead of outside playing in the garden like she would normally. She would cry herself to sleep and wonder why her little brother could have been with them. At school was no different, she would sulk and cry to herself.
"I've even went ahead and prepared his room to...now all his toys will just go to waste..." She cried. Ayaka closed her eyes and was suddenly drop kicked by Asuna. "KYAPEN!" She exclaimed as she was knocked to the ground.
"Cheer Up, Ugly Shorty!" Asuna said as she ran away. Ayaka got to her feet and gave chase to Asuna.
"W-Wait Up, You Brat!" She shouted. "I Am Seriously Going To Kill You!"
"Uh oh! Really?..." Asuna said. "Well catch me if you can monster-san." The teacher smiled as she saw the energy and life flow back into Ayaka.
"Ayaka-chan seems to have cheered up a little..." She thought.
Ayaka's thoughts began to return to the present. She had a smiling face as a tear formed in her left eye.
"I see...today...it would have been my little brothers birthday..." Ayaka said. She remembered Asuna. "She...remembered everything...ever since we were children that girl..." Ayaka found her self crying. "She's a violent lawless...unbelievable classmate..." Negi watched her happy tears flow in awe, as he knew what Ayaka meant by what she said.
"...miss president..." Negi said, causing Ayaka to snap back to reality. "Anyway, I know I can't replace your little brother in your heart, but I can replace him in your house. For today I'll be your little brother! I'll treat you just like onee-chan! You can ask me any thing you like!"
"...anything?" Ayaka questioned.
"Yes anything!" Negi told her.
"He, he. Thank you Negi-sensei." She said.
"Well then let's pick up from where we left off, this way to the bedroom..." She said as she escorted Negi and pulled him by the hand.
"Eh? Where we left off...! Um...er...Ah! Miss President! What Are You Doing!" Negi asked. She moved her hand near his lap. "KY...KYAAAAAH!" Negi yelled.
"Oh! Relax...I'm just kidding sensei!" She laughed.
As she piled Negi down from the ceiling, Kumogiri lead Sora and Asahi into a large lab. The room was full of gadgets and blueprints of all kinds. On his right Sora saw what looked like a large laser canon to him. And in the center of the lab was a his Gummi-ship. It was the same color as his old Gummi-ship, but was highly more advanced inside. The Excalibur VIII, could make sharper turns throughout inner space. Sora had only piloted for a short time, but he had become a near expert at flying with it. Asahi and Kumogiri looked at it kind of unimpressed.
"Kinda...simple isn't it?" They both said.
"Ahh! Come on...what's wrong with it?" Sora asked.
"Well it's kinda gaudy..." Asahi told him. "You mean to say that this thing was your airship..."
"I think it's perfect...It may not be the cool's looking Gummi-ship, or the fastest, but VIII is practically nakama..." Sora said.
"How can a ship be nakama?" Asahi asked. She noticed Sora beam at the ship.
"It was the first ship I got to pilot on my own. And in every dogfight, and mission to other worlds after that I was always inside VIII." He told them.
"I guess I get it..." Kumogiri said.
"I don't..." Asahi sighed.
"It's a man thing, Asahi-san!" A familiar voice said. Asahi turned to see her classmate Chao Lingshen, the genius girl of Mahora, dressed in a white lab coat. "Though I believe I understand it just fine as well..."
"Hey there Chao-san!" Sora called. He paused for a minute. "Wait...what are you doing here!"
"Well obviously she is one of the researchers allow to study your ship Sora-kun." Another familiar voice said. Sora turned around to see his friend Uekumi Sechi, who was also in a white lab coat.
"HUH! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!" Sora exclaimed.
"I to am one of the one's allowed to study the ship." Sechi said. "And might I say Sora-kun, I understand your fondness of this ship. It is most intriguing. I could hardly believe what I saw when the mage teachers showed this ship to me..."
"W-Wait...are you saying you've known about magic...?" Sora asked.
"Yes the entire time...As well that you where a mage." Sechi told him.
"So...are you a mage to then?" Sora asked.
"Oh my no! I'm simply a mundane as it were...One that has sold his soul to science and the mysteries of the universe." Sechi explained.
"Huh...?" Both Sora and Asahi said.
"Don't worry about it Sora-san..." Someone else said. Two more of Negi's students appeared before them, Hakase Satomi and Azuchi Kikyou, both again in a lab coat. "We are here to study your ship and see just what is wrong with it...Now that your here maybe you could enlighten us on how it works."
"Hakase And Kikyou-San As Well! All Three Of The 2A Geniuses!" Asahi exclaimed. "Anyone else we know here...?"
"Only I..." A monotone voice called. Over in the corner Sora and Asahi gasped, after they saw what looked like Asahi's classmate Karakuri Chachamaru. Well not really except her head. The body that she was attached to looked like the Gundam of Amuro Ray*. "Greetings Sora-san, Asahi-san."
"CHA-CHA-CHACHAMARU-SAN..." Asahi said.
"What's with your body!" Sora asked.
"Repairs are being preformed, and new programs are being installed." Chachamaru told them. "Sechi-san has there for loaned me a spare body."
"OK Sure, But...WHY THE HELL IS IT A GUNDAM!" Asahi exclaimed.
"I find the look of her head on a Gundam's body quiet humorous." Sechi said.
"So...Chachamaru really is a robot..." Sora said wrapping his mind around it.
"That's enough chit-chating you kids! We need to get back to work." A new voice called Sora turn to see some not so new faces.
There where four people in the lab these people all wore lab coats, and they where all doppelgangers of people Sora had met. One looked like Zexion from Organization XIII, except his hair was a deep shade of blue and his hair was pulled out of his face and into a ponytail. His eyes where also a dark gray. The person next to him was the woman who spoke a moment ago. She looked like Rosso the Crimson. A fierce warrior that Sora had fought before. She looked just like the woman Sora knew, she even gave off the same frightening aura as Rosso. The man next to her resembled Nero the Sable, but it was hard to tell for he had never seen Nero's whole face. His hair and eyes where the same though, that Sora could say for sure. And lastly the last was another woman who was only a year older then Sora. One that looked like the warrior who was Nero and Rosso's nakama, Argento. She and the Nero doppelgangers had a normal complexion, instead of a pale ashy looking complexion like the one's he knew. All of them had been had been Sora's enemies at one point. But he shook all thoughts of the others out of his mind, as they seemed to be allies of the Headmaster. Why else would he allow all of them to study his ship?
"Oh ah! Hello Nice To Meet You All!" Sora said. "Thank you for looking after VIII for me all this time."
"Move it kid!" The Rosso look alike said. She then pushed Sora aside so that she could reach a terminal and began to type away.
"How Rude! You Should Apologize!" Asahi demanded. The Rosso look alike turned to Asahi.
"For what?" She asked.
"For just pushing him aside for no reason!" Asahi complained.
"Asahi-san don't worry about it..." Sora said.
"Do you let your girlfriend fight, your battles for you kid?" The Rosso woman asked. "What a pathetic excuse for a man..."
"I'M NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND! HOW MEANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT!" Asahi exclaimed.
"Please stop instigating fights Kurimuzon-sensei." The Argento look alike said. She looked to Sora and smiled. "I apologize Kurimuzon-sensei can be difficult to get along with." She smiled and opened her eyes. Sora saw them glow like silver. "My name is Tsurugi Ginka. And that..." She said motioning to the Rosso look alike. "...is Kurimuzon Ame-sensei."
"My name's Sora it's nice to meet you..." Sora said. "This is, one of my friends Asahi-san."
"I can introduce myself thanks!" Asahi said.
"Boy..." The Nero look alike called. "Your the one who piloted this ship before?"
"Yes sir!" Sora said. "I'm Sora, and you?"
"Shikatsu Kurogo, Second in charge of this research team. Good to meet ya!" He said. He may have seemed as scary as Nero the Sable, but he seemed kind hearted. "You can address me as Kurogo-sensei. And this..." he said motioning to the Zexion doppelganger. "Is my student Aoikage Sakushi." The Zexion look alike simply looked Sora's direction and lifted his hand. He then turned his attention to Kumogiri.
"Kumo...Is this why you wanted to know the location of the ship? So you could bring him here?" He asked.
"Yeah..." Kumogiri said.
"This is going against Shade-sensei's orders...you weren't suppose to bring him here unless we can get the ship to work." He told him with a sigh as he pulled out a lollipop and placed it in his mouth. "Whatever then...do what you want just as long as it doesn't bite me in the ass later..."
"Thanks...Sakushi-kun..." Kumogiri said.
"Humm...guess they're old friends or something." Sora thought.
Suddenly without warring Sora was tackled from behind. He nearly fell to the ground, but caught himself with his right foot and was able to balance out the extra weight. He looked and saw that some on had wrapped their arms and legs around him and was rubbing their face into the his back.
"Huh! Who the hell-!" Sora exclaimed.
"OH! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!" The voice of a young girl repeated over and over.
Sora reached behind him trying to pry the little girl from his back. Asahi helped pull her off. Sora turned round to see a little girl who was about Negi's age, or maybe even a year younger. She looked like Shelke the Transparent. Her hair flowed down to her shoulders and looked at Sora with a smile. Before they could say or do anything else she had latched her self again to Sora, only this time to his front.
"Whoa! Hey Wait! Just Who Are You!" Sora asked. She looked into Sora's face with sparking eyes.
"My Name Is Hassaku Hari, The Commander Of The I.T.S. Research Group!" She said. "And You Are The Man That Gave Me The Greatest Research Subject Ever! I Think I Love You!"
She said as she pushed her face into Sora's. Forcing him into a kiss. Sora's eyes widen as he tries to force her away. Only able to do so after Nero, Kumogiri, and Asahi force them apart. Sora gasped for air and looked at the floor.
"What The Hell Was That!" Sora shouted.
"I'm Hari-chan can be like that..." Ginka told him. "Though I've never seen her try to kiss someone or confess love, because of a research project."
Sora was grabbed from behind again. This time by a grown man. Sora looked behind him. It was a doppelganger of Cid Highwind. The man had the same hair style only a dirtier shade of blond. In his mouth was a lit cigarette. Then Cid looked at Sora with a grin.
"Show I see Hari has already greeted you." He said. "I'm her father, Hassaku Toragoshi, but people call me Tora-sensei, or Tora-ossan." He dropped Sora and turned him around. "Don't lesson to my daughter, I'm the real commander of this research team. And might I add..." He said before he closed his eyes.
"Huh...So he's that crazy little girl's dad?" Sora thought. "He doesn't seem that bad..." He pulled Sora close and gave him a tight bear hug.
"Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! For Bringing Us The Greatest Research Project I could Ever Ask For! I Mean Technology From Another Dimension! How Amazing Is That!" Toragoshi cried as he exclaimed.
"Never Mind!" Sora thought. "He's Just As Insane!" He released Sora go from his bear hug. Sora then realized. "Huh? I know I've heard of that name before." Sora said.
"Tora-ossan is the landlord of our dorm, the Fantaji House." Kumogiri told him.
"This guy's our landlord!" Sora exclaimed.
"Your a border there as well eh?" Toragoshi asked. He bowed to Sora and placed his head on the ground. "Giving you a place to stay, is the least I can do for what you've done for me and my daughter." Hari rushed to her dad's side and mimicked him. "We really love studying and experimenting! We Utterly Thank You!" They said.
"It's OK really..." Sora told them. The last thing he wanted was for some other weirdo to think he's a god.
"Truly though...? I feel I should do more..." Toragoshi told him. "I know as a token of my appreciation...You Sora-sama, may have my daughter as your wife."
"I DON'T WANT HER!" Sora exclaimed.
After some more pointless banter, things finally settled down when Ame silenced Toragoshi and Hari with a death glare, because their racket was disrupting her work. Ginka explained that the group so far had been able to repair the VIII's damage from the crash. A fact that Sora was very happy about. And that they where able to analyze much of the ship's structure. The problem seemed that the power source was utterly depleted. Sora had never had such a problem with his ship. So the group was experimenting trying to find an alternate power supply since the ship, but so far nothing has worked. After about an hour of talking, Sora, Asahi, and Kumogiri where ready to leave.
"Thank you Ginka-san for taking care of VIII for me." Sora said. He moved closer and whispered to her. "Be sure that Tora-ossan, and Hari-chan don't brake it."
"I'll try not to!" She laughed.
"Well I guess we're off..." Sora said.
"Mind if I join you?" Sechi asked. "My shift here is over."
"Sure thing." Sora told him.
"I'll see you later then Sakushi-kun." Kumogiri said to his friend who just lifted his hand to acknowledge his comment.
"Wait! On more thing Sora-kun." Toragoshi said.
"Uh! Yeah...?" Sora asked hesitantly.
"If your heading back to the Fantaji House, could you all escort Hari home for me?" he asked.
"Huh! Well, we...Uhh..." Sora stammered.
"Please, if it isn't to much trouble. You see, I've been staying here every night in the lab ever since your arrival and I'd like to know that she can get home safely each night." Toragoshi begged.
"Uhh..." Sora sighed. "Alright..." Hari ran up to Sora and hugged him around the waist.
"If Tabaku-kun where here he'd say something like "The almighty powers of the kami have worked their magic again", or something..." Sechi said.
"I'm glad he's not." Sora thought.
As the group exited the University, Sora thought about earlier that day. When Asahi preformed that magic spell with ease. Sechi and Asahi walked ahead with Hari right in front of them. Sora moved over to Kumogiri.
"Say...can I ask you something?" Sora asked.
"You just did..." Kumogiri thought.
"Remember when you told me most mages don't get that first spell right away?" Sora asked. "Well have you ever heard of a mundane performing it on their fist try?"
"Utterly imposable..." Kumogiri told him.
"Well say that it did...what would that mean?" Sora asked.
"It would have to mean that said mundane, isn't a mundane..." Kumogiri told him. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh! Nothing! I'm just curious is all..." Sora said. "Could that mean...? Asahi-san..." he thought.
"Look I've got to go to the castle, I'll see you back at the dorm latter OK." Kumogiri told him. "See you around Sechi-kun, Hair-chan, Asahi-kun." He added as he walked away.
"Latter!" Sora called.
"I'll See You Some Other Time Kumogiri-Sempai!" Asahi called.
"You really are obsessed with him aren't you." Sechi asked.
"W-Who says I-!" Asahi started.
"I can see such things...You have a crush on him don't you Asahi-san?" Sechi told her. Asahi blushed as Hari began to tease her.
"Onee-chan loves Kumo-kun!" She teased as Sora laughed.
"Wha-What dose it matter to you!" Asahi told them.
"Well isn't that cute..." Someone said.
Behind the group were to young men about Sora's age. The one in front looked like Raijin, but with longer hair that stretched down to his shoulders. And bangs that ended just above his eyes. He wore a school uniform that was unzipped and had an orange shirt on underneath. His face looked pissed off, and he stared directly at Sora. The other one in the back looked like Seifer. His dirty blond hair was in a mess and he wore the same school uniform as the other. He too looked annoyed, but seeing as how he looked like Seifer, this was to be expected. On his blue shirt he had the kanji for "Ore-sama(me)*" written on it. And across his back was a sword.
"Just who the hell are you!" Asahi asked.
"Their is no reason to tell you that nee-san!" The Raijin look alike said.
"My name is Raionshin Takaikou." The Seifer look alike said. "And the loudmouth baka here is Okure Kyo, my minion."
"B-Boss! Don't We Have To Act Tough, And Not Give Our Names!" Kyo asked.
"It be rude to not answer a girl's question." He told him.
"Raionshin...!" Sora repeated. "Are you related to Uindo-kun?"
"I'm his younger brother..." Takaikou told him. "But that's not important...What is important is that you summon forth your key-sword and fight us!"
"What!" Sora exclaimed.
"Sora-kun it's best we try to get away from these guys..." Sechi told him.
"You know them..." Sora asked.
"They are from our class, the have a reputation for being yankee(punks or thugs), even among the mages of this city. I've heard that they've caused so much trouble that one more slip up could get them sentenced to the magic world where they'll be turned into ermine." Sechi told him. "But, besides that Takaikou-san is said to be a pow-"
"Why do you want to fight me? I haven't done anything to you." Sora asked.
"Where you even lessoning!" Sechi asked.
"Your strong. That's it." Takaikou said.
"That's all!" Sora said.
"What other reason do I need?" He asked. "They say your tough enough to go one on one with Reijin-san. And about how you show the same promise as the Thousand Master. That...and my brother keeps talking about you too. The other day I got into trouble and he told me "I wish you could be like Sora-kun...", and that shit annoys the hell out of me. So I hate you. End of story chicken-wuss."
"If you want to fight a match with me then I'll fight you at the castle tomorrow." Sora told him. "But, I have somewhere I have to be now."
Sora turned his back and Takaikou was in front of him, muttering an incantation. He then placed his right hand to his mouth and blew as if he held dust in his hand. A sparkling dust flew from his hand, and into the faces of Hari, Sechi, and Asahi. Sechi and Hari dropped slowly to the ground and Asahi could now barely stand up.
"Ah...wha...what did you..." Asahi said appearing very drowsy. She started to fall, but was caught by Sora.
"Asahi-San! Sechi-Kun! Hari-Chan!" Sora exclaimed looking at his three friends. Asahi was the only one still awake the other two had been put to sleep.
"...yankee punk..." She said with her eyes barely open.
"Sorry...I must not have been clear..." Takaikou said. As Kyo cracked his knuckles behind Sora. "I'm not asking you for some friendly little sparing match...I want you to fight us...I want you to fight us until the pavement is stained with your blood...I want..." He said as he grabbed the hilt of his sword with his right hand. "...A Duel To The Death..." Sora looked at his friends on the ground, and the worried look on Asahi's face. Then he glared at Takaikou.
"You want me to fight you, that's fine by me...I don't mind it if you want to cause trouble, but I have to know why you want to go about it this way?" Sora asked him. "Why you want to kill me, and put my friends in danger!"
"Was I still not clear? Fine now clean the shit out of your ears chicken-wuss..." Takaikou said. "I'm Raionshin Takaikou, the Yankee Mage of Mahora...And I Hate You."
Sora Is Challenged To A Duel To The Death!
Takaikou and Kyo...
