Pairings: NegiX ku-Fei KeadeXOC
Chapter One: Here we go again!
Negi groaned has he straggled to stand only some thing didn't feel right. He looks down to see only the sleeves of his suit! "Guh" He yelled startled checking over his body.
Which was now buried in his oversized suit "What in the blood hell happened!" A groan from a across the room caught his attention.
"Jack!" Yelled Negi as he stumbled tripping on his clothes, pulling up his now oversized pants, so he could walk and remain decent at the same time, he found a more youthful looking Jack also buried in oversized clothes.
"Jack, what happened to you?" he asked as he observed his friend. Most of the facial hair on his face was gone leaving only a little hair outlining his jaw and thin mustache, the scars that adorned this right cheek were completely gone as well.
"What happened to me? What happened to you, shortly?" Jack retorted pointing out Negi significant height drop, before the younger man was just an inch or two shorter, now he was barely at his waist! "You look like a ten year old brat now!" commented Jack ruffing the younger man's hair.
"What?" yelled Negi running over to the mirror on the wall. "Bloody hell I'm ten! How did the happen?"
"It was probably that circle." Said Jack, doing a small spell to change his clothes size, he wasn't as broad shouldered has before or muscular he sadly noted.
"Damn never thought I would be a teenager again!" he laughed doing the same to Negi's clothes "Let's go see if we went back in time or just our bodies." He said walking towards the door motioning Negi to follow.
"Hey wait for me!" Negi yelled struggling to get his shoe on well running.
Outside the sun rained down on the city of London the streets packed with people going about their day business.
"Well it looks like were still in the modern times, too bad I would of loved to go back to the old west. How about you Negi any era you would like to visit?" Jack asked the miniature magician.
"No thanks, I had enough of time travel last me life time, thank you." the 22 now ten year said as they walk down the street towards the magic academy. On the corner of the next street Negi saw a newspaper stand. "Might as well see when we are." He said more to himself. Paying the man Negi took the paper back to Jack and look at the date.
August 30, 2003 (I don't know when he left for Japan or when their school years starts so bare with me please)
"Bloody hell I leave for Japan in just a few hours!" Negi exclaimed as he fanatic ran towards the train station that would take him to the airport.
"Hey Negi wait up!" Jack ran after him knocking down bystanders left and right.
Negi finally made it to the platform only then realizing that it maybe a bad idea if he ran into his past self! Surprisingly enough though he didn't taking this as a good sign he decides to leave when…
"Negi over here!" A voice yelled from the platform turning around he saw none other than his sister Nekane Springfield and his childhood friend Anya by the platform. Knowing it would be strange to run away he approached them.
"There you are Negi, I was worried you going to miss your train." Said Nekane sweetly handing Negi his bags, Anya still look as upset as last time, but that didn't concern him like it did last time, he was busy looking for Jack in the crowd.
"Who are you looking for Negi?" asked Nekane putting her face next to Negi's and peered into the crowd.
"Oh um, just a friend dear sister!" Negi laugh nervously continuing his search.
"Oh is it a girlfriend!" Nekane teased as Anya fumed in anger.
"No nothing of the sort! Just a chap I met not to long ago."
"Oh so it's a boy, I'm glad you finally found a friend to play with, so who is he? Is he someone we know." Nekane asked excitedly she had long given up hope of Negi having any friend other then Anya and her, but now she could be at ease.
"Uh yes I guess." He replied nervously, thinking of Jack's habits not knowing how Nekane and Anya would respond to him, seeing how he never introduced them in the future.
Just as the final whistle was about to blow, Jack smoking a cigarette strode through the crowd. "Hey Negi! Where are ya?" he yelled over the crowds.
"Is that him in the Cowboy hat?" Asked Nekane as she pointed to Jack who was still making a scene, all Negi could do is sadly nod his head as his sister waved her arms wildly in the air trying to get the Gunslinger's attention.
Jack caught sight of a pretty blonde waving at him then saw Negi standing next to her, "There you are, you shouldn't run off like that you know" said Jack as he tilted his hat greeting the young ladies next to his partner.
"You must be Negi's sister you look more beautiful then he claimed!" he said shaking Nekane's hand as a healthy blush appeared on her cheeks. A soft um hum caught his attention to Anya who had her arms cross across her chest. "And you must be Anya! Negi told me so much about you. I can tell you'll be a real heart breaker when you grow up!" He chuckle ruffling the small girl's hair, Anya slapped his hand away only to make him laugh more. "Well don't either of you worry I'll keep this little guy safe for you two"
"You mean…" Negi started
"That's right I going to Japan with you!" exclaimed Jack grabbing Negi and his bags and boarded the train. Grabbing the nearest seat he waved back at the two stunned women on the platform as the train move away.
After a two hour train ride, then and hour wait at the airport, where Jack magically attended a ticket to Japan with Negi. Then a eight hour flight to Hong Kong then another flight to Tokyo where they boarded the rail car to Mahora Academy.
"I can't believe I'm returning to Mahora." Negi stated as he was pressed against the girls in the car.
"Technically you never have been here yet." said Jack has he tried to keep his hormones under control he was still getting adjusted to being a teenager again and all the girls where not helping.
"But the way what do you think happened to our past selves?" Negi asked as he tried not to suffocate in the sea of breasts.
"I think we merged with them, because I called my Godmother in Texas and she said I been gone sense we arrived, when I know for a fact I didn't start traveling till a year later and why Nekane and Anya didn't know where you were either."
"So what do we do?"
"Well it doesn't matter what I do, but you still need to teach at Mahora, so we'll just take it from there, besides I always wanted to meet your students." Said Jack as the train stopped and the girls stampeded over them leaving them covered in foot prints.
As they both stumbled out the car Negi caught sight of a familiar red head with bells running franticly to class. 'Well I won't make the mistake of making her mad at me like last time' he thought as he walked to the dean's with Jack tailing behind him.
Later Negi was able to locate the Dean's office though it took a bit longer then he hoped it would, but he didn't really visit the school much in the future and Mahora was still like a maze. Now sitting in front of him was none other then Dean Konoe. The old man's oddly shaped head and hair style still fresh in the young Magi's memories.
"Greeting Negi-Kun I see you where able to find my office without any help. I'm quit impressed." Said the Dean as he stroked his long beard "And I see you brought a friend with you."
"Jack K. McCoy" greeted Jack as he bowed "Magi Gunslinger at your service."
"A pressure" nodded the Dean "We'll see about sleeping arrangements for you two later, right now Negi-kun. You have a class to teach."
"If you would please point me in the right direction Dean I will start right away." Said Negi he already knew were the class was but no need to arouse suspicion.
"Enthusiastic a good trait, you are a where of what happens if you fail, right?" The Dean asked with a glint in his dark eyes.
"Yes, but I have no intentions of failing." Negi said with certainty Jack nodded at his friend if he could do this at ten he can do now at twenty-two. Both opened the door and right into Shizuna-sensei's cleavage. "Should have seen that coming" mumbled Negi as his face was pressed in between teacher's impressive assets.
'Damn why couldn't that be me!' yelled the Dean in his mind.
Shizuna explained Negi about his teaching duties and about the class he was to teach, though he already knew this stuff it didn't hurt to review.
"Here we are class 2-A" Shizuna pointed to the sign above the door, behind the Door Negi and Jack could hear the idle chatter of 31 girls. For Negi it was a trip down memory lane for Jack it sounded like hell on earth, but there was no time to turn back as Negi already opened the door. Causing the easer trapped between the doors to fall, luckily for Negi, Jack caught it then tossed it on the lip of the chalk board then pulls out his knife and cuts the trip wire by the door. "Kiddy's need to do something more original" laughed the Gunslinger as he stepped into the class room.
Inside Fuuka and Fumika sulked as there trap didn't work but they quickly forgot about it as they saw an adorable kid (Negi) and Handsome man with a hat (Jack) walk through the door. They squealed with everyone else minus a few exceptions like Asuna, Mana, Keade, Zazie, Chizuru, Setsuna, Chachamaru, and of coarse Evangeline.
"All right girls settled down!" Shizuna-sensei yelled over the horde of girls "I would like to introduce your new teacher Negi Springfield-sensei (points to Negi) and his friend Mr. Jack McCoy (Points to Jack) please treat both of them with respect." She said before she baled out the door leaving the two to their doom. As the girls tackled them most of them went for Negi but few like (Mana and Yuna) who caught a glimpse of Jack's .357 went to him.
Eventually Negi was able to settle the girls down and Mana and Yuna were promised they could try out Jack's gun later. While almost all were settled down Asuna who was still fuming at Negi replacing Takahata grabbed Negi by the caller of his suite.
"Is this some kind of sick joke!" She screamed shaking the poor time traveler of his senses "How could a brat like you teach us anything!"
Though Jack know Negi could handle himself he decided to intervene, light up a smoke he strode over to the fuming redhead.
Smelling the familiar scent of tobacco Asuna turned in hope to see Takahata but instead she was met with the cold piercing eyes of Jack McCoy. "Now listen here missy I don't know what your problem is but you better but my friend down or will be regretting this day for the rest of your life." He said with a voice so cold it sent shivers down her spine. Jack quickly pulled Negi to his feet and set him straight "Oh and for your information it was Takahata-sensei that recommended Negi here, so if you have problems take it up with him." Jack knew what he said was untrue but if it would deter the little spitfire in front of him then he had not problems, he gave Negi a quick glace telling him to play along.
After Asuna was calmed down Negi was able to start his lessen unlike last time where he didn't even get to start he was almost half way through the lesson it was a miracle! He wonders if it was Jack's presence that made the difference. Some times he would catch some of the girls eyeing him fearfully or other adamantly, but everytime Negi looked over to the Gunslinger he was just standing by the window.
What Negi didn't know was that Jack was sharpening his knives, well girls like Ayaka, Nodoka, and pretty much the normal girls of the group shirked back fearfully. Other like Mana, Keade, ku-Fei, and Yuna had hearts in there eyes. Even Evangeline smirked down at him enjoying his messing with the girls behind the brats back.
After class was dismissed Negi piled today's papers together he had forgot how much fun it was teaching though he felt a little hurt that Asuna still hated him for no reason, but he was sure she would come around, he would have to ask Takamichi to play along with Jack's ruse. Speaking of Jack WHERE WAS HE! Negi looked around franticly for his best friend sense Kotaro. If Jack was missing on campus, not that he was worried that anything would happen to him. It was what he would do what caused Negi to sprint out the door. After all Jack is not known for his sedulity, quietness, or lack of property damage.
Meanwhile Jack was curiously looking about the grounds of Mahora Academy. Negi wasn't kidding when he said this place was like a city, it had to be one of the largest campuses in the world! It also had plenty of beautiful sights and he wasn't just talking about the trees. Never before seen so many girls at one place at once!
Stop yourself Jack he told himself he needed to control himself. It was these stupid hormones again; he didn't have problems last time because he was stranded in the desert with no one around for a hundred miles. Now where was a girl every ten feet and they all wore miniskirts!
He looked towards the forest surely there wouldn't be anyone in there, could there? Well it was better then standing here, he guessed not that he didn't love the ladies, but he had to keep to his morals.
Keade traveled the path before her it was worn down from her many trips into the forest for training she loved the peace it provided her away from the hustle and bustle of Mahora. She noticed that is was getting dark, deciding to pick up the paste so she could reach her regular campsite before it was too dark to see.
Ku-Fei happy ate the pork buns Chao made for her; she always loved her fellow Chinese girl's cooking. After finishing her pork buns Ku-Fei jumped down from her spot on the tree where she landed on one unsuspecting Negi.
"Oh sorry, Negi-sensei!" She apologized to the new teacher.
"Oh it's no trouble Ku-Fei-chan!" Negi said in perfect Chinese after finishing his assignment at Mahora he decided to study other languages for his travels.
Ku-Fei was surprised to say the least as Negi-sensei spoke perfect Chinese to her, it made her feel better, because she still had trouble speaking Japanese let alone English. That was one of the main reasons she was a Baka Ranger.
"Um Ku-Fei you haven't seen Jack have you?" he asked wondering where the cowboy went.
"No I haven't seem him sensei."
"Please just Negi outside of Class." He interrupted
"Negi right, no I haven't seen him." she said a faint blush adorned her cheeks, but luckily it was concealed by the darkness as it was almost pitch black out.
"I see, thank you." He said dejected at not having found his friend even after hours of searching.
"Um Negi, Do you have a place to sleep? I mean its getting dark and I'm sure Jack-san can take care of himself." Ku-Fei said as she fought down her nervousness. Why was she nervous?
"Now that you mention it I don't" Negi lied he knew he was supposed to stay with Konoka and Asuna, but he didn't want to bother them, especially seen they didn't even talk about it yet.
"Then you can bunk with me!" Ku-Fei exclaimed as she grabbed the poor boy before he could speak back and dashed towards the dorms.
