GearWolf Presents: Negima? The mage and the Gunslinger
Pairings: NegiX ku-Fei KeadeXOC
Chapter three: A day of madness, potions, and Chibi Jack!
I don't own Negima!
It's been about a mouth sense Negi and Jack arrived at Mahora, and the two were adjusting nicely. Negi armed with five years' experience of teaching from the future was able to actually keep some control over his class; hopefully this time they wouldn't have to go to Library Island for the book of enchantments, even though Negi already knew the book wouldn't help them at all. He would have to see about giving the baka rangers some extra tutoring.
Jack has been busy working on potions in Kaede's room. Theorizing that because he came to Mahora with Negi and that they merged with their younger selves, there was no possible way to return to their future; not that either of them really cared as both were content to live out their lives here. What Jack was looking for was a way to summon they're future powers even if only temporary, to give them a nice ace to play against the more powerful foes that are sure to come.
"Now let's see, some toad oil, snake salve, dragon's breath, and phoenix tears; what else? Ah here we go some essence of the soul!" Jack grabbed the bottle adding it to the mixture. It was few minutes past midnight, and the cowboy was hit with a little bit a inspiration for his potion, so he's been up for the past two days trying to get it right.
He made sure to keep quiet for the sleeping Kaede just a few feet away. Jack couldn't help but smile at the slumbering ninja. The two have really gotten close over the past few weeks, training, and camping on the weekends; hell he even helped her with her English studies! He didn't know what this feeling in his gut was that made its self-known whenever they were together. Though they were together almost all the time, but he would emit that perhaps he had feelings for the ninja girl, but he quickly suppress those thoughts knowing there was plenty of time for that stuff later. Right now he needs to focus!
Noticing that he potion was done. Jack bottled it then took a swig. "Tastes a little funky," he noted writing it down in his notebook. He's been keeping track of all his potions to see what did what, when mixed with this and that. Not feeling any change he concluded it was a dud, he shrugged it off, and decided to hit the hay.
The Next morning
Negi still peacefully sleeping in Ku-Fei's room rolled out of his bedroll, to get breakfast going. Over the past mouth he and Ku-Fei have gotten to know each other quiet well, she eventually discover his martial arts skills, but promised to keep silent about them if he spar with her. Not that he had any objections, he was happy to be sparing with Master Ku again; even though she still gave him plenty of bruises when they spared. Everything seemed right with the world.
"AAAAAHHHHH"
Or not
The scream causes Ku-Fei to wake up and fall on top of Negi, crushing the poor boy. "Oh what was that?" she asked sleepily rubbing her eyes, while still on top of Negi.
"Uh Ku-Fei? Could you please get of me!" he asked kindly even thought he was being crushed; just like a true English gentleman.
"Oh, sorry, Negi-Bozou!" Ku-Fei exclaimed getting off the midget teacher before he was flatten like a pancake. "But what was that noise-Aru?"
"It sounded like it came from Kaede's room, let's go check it out!" motioned Negi as he rushed out the door, worried for his student. When they arrived at the ninja's door Negi was glad to see that the shout didn't awake any of the others girls. Putting his hand on the door knob he prepared himself of the worst. Slowly he opened the door and saw a little wolf cub in Kaede's arms?
"What's going on here?" Negi asked worried, he didn't like the feeling of doom hanging over him.
"Well sensei I think you could explain this better than I can." Kaede stated turning the bundle in her arms so Negi could see it better. There nestled comfortably in the ninja's embrace was a chibified Jack, wearing a little wolf suit, meaning only one thing a suka.
"Oh boy" Negi gasped
After explaining everything about magic and why they were here (leaving out the time traveling of course) to the two girls, who promised to keep it secret. Negi looked at the problem at hand; Chibi Jack. He didn't have time to make a counter –potion especially sense he didn't even know what ingredients the cowboy used, plus he had classes today, but they couldn't just leave Jack unattended. But he girls couldn't stay and watch him either as they were already behind on their studies enough as it is. Meaning he was going to bring Jack with him.
"Bloody hell" he swore
After telling the girls to go to class and promising that everything would be alright. Negi prepared for what would probably be the worse day in his life.
Kaede and Ku-Fei sat in their assigned seats though it was a surprise to both that their teacher was a wizard, they weren't too shocked about it. It did explain some of the activities the two did when they thought no one was watching. Not that they were spying on them of course! They worried about Jack or at least Kaede was Negi-sensei said Jack would be like that for at least a day to a week tops then he would return to normal. It's what they were going to do with him in the meantime that bothered her, if word got out about a kid living in the dorms, well things would get a little messy.
The bell rang signaling the start of class, but Negi has yet to arrive. Now most of the girls were wondering what happened to their mini-sized teacher when he came in huffing as if he just finish running a marathon.
"Sorry I'm late Girls, but I had some business to attend to. Now let's get started. Please turn to page 173 in your text books." Negi commanded flipping over his own book. Things were going great till half way through the lesson, when someone knocked at the door.
"Come in" said Negi glad to take a brake, that was till he saw a upset Takahata walk in the door carrying a giggling Chibi Jack by the scruff of his neck. Negi took notice of Takahata's state of dress. His usually fine pressed suit had scorch marks, his glasses where cracked, and his hair was blackened in some places. Over all it looked like someone tried to burn him alive!
"What happened to you, Takamichi?" Negi asked with concern this was man who traveled with his father to see him in such a state was unnerving.
"This happened" the older man yelled pointing an accusing finger at the chibi in his other hand. Behind him Negi could see some other mage teachers standing by the door in a similar state. Takahata placed the chibi on Negi's desk then walked away.
"He's your problem now!"
Negi stare at the chibified Jack there was no way he could that much trouble could he? He thought fearfully then thought about all the times Jack used his fire magic and shuttered, and that was with control! Here was Chibi Jack full of power and absolutely no control! Negi did what he always did when something like this happened hid underneath something, and wait for it to blow over!
The girls now thoroughly confused as they watched one of the most feared and respected teachers walk in drop a baby in a wolf suit on Negi's desk then walk away. Then the said teacher looks at the baby then hides under his desk.
Curiously they all approached the child as it happy played with Negi's English book, by tearing out the pages and throwing them around the room.
"Uh sensei he's… um… destroying your book." Natsumi said nervously usually she was good with kids but this one seemed be different from the others she watched at the preschool with Chizuru.
"I don't care let him do whatever he wants!" Negi yelled still hiding under the desk.
"What's so scary about this little guy he looks adorable!" swooned Ayaka as she reached for the child, thinking she could get brownie points from sensei if she took a care of it. What she got was a flaming paper ball in the face!
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH" she screamed as she desperately scampered away from the child.
"Looks like he doesn't like you Blondie here let me show you how a real woman does it!" Asuna boasted as she approached the child, arms wide open. She was thinking the same thing as Ayaka only for Takahata. She was met with the same result as a flaming paper ball landed on the top of her head. It sat there for moment before she started running around the room the paper ball still atop her head as she ran. Luckily for her Chachamaru had a built in fire extinguisher, preventing any of the fire from spreading.
Now all the girls saw way the teachers were afraid of the little chibi, sitting innocently on the desk. No one dare approach it except Kaede who know who that really was on the table. Walking over she picked up the little fire maker who cooed with glee as the tall girl rocked him in her arms.
"He can sense you're selfish intentions de-gouzu." Explained Kaede to the two girls on the ground then walked back to her seat. "Its ok you can come out now Sensei!" she called to the tumbling ten year old, as she tickled little Jack.
Negi eventually crawled out from under the desk, though embarrassed at his coward ness, but was none the less relieved that someone could control the little fire mage. Now if no one asked who he is and where he came from they'd be all set!"
"Um Sensei who is that?" asked certain green haired gossipier.
'DAMN IT HARUNA!' Negi thought already thinking of ways to abuse his power as a teacher to punish the gossip. "Yum that's Jack's baby cousin uh WOLFIE yeah Wolfie McCoy!" he spluttered out hoping they brought it.
"Ok, why isn't Jack watching him then?" Kazumi asked microphone in hand.
"well um you see."
"Jack is running some errands for me, so I said I would watch him, but I forgot I have classes so I asked Negi-sensei to find a place for him." Kaede said saving Negi from being the center of attention.
"And why would he ask you and not Negi they are friend aren't they?" Kazumi asked as she got in the ninja's face, smelling a big scoop.
"That's because he's staying with me at the dorms." Kaede clammily stated as the rest of the class recoiled in shock. This caused all the girls to crowd around Kaede, asking a million questions at once like
"When did this happen?"
"Are you two dating?"
"Is Negi staying with you too?"
Luckily Kaede didn't have to answer, not that she would of anyways, as little Jack, I mean Wolfie throws dozens of flaming paper balls at everyone. Making them all run away in fear, back to their seats.
After everyone settled down, Negi was able to take control again and restart his lesson. He made sure that Wolfie was still by Kaede, who put the little chibi down for nap on the floor, then continued on with the lesson.
Wolfie (AKA Jack) awoke from his nap and look around for something interesting to play with seeing how the nice girl with the pony-tail was busy. So he crawled along the floor unnoticed till he made it the desk of one Mana Tatsumiya. Wolfie looks curiously at the bag next to Mana then decides to investigate it; meaning he crawls inside it.
It was getting toward the end of the period when Kaede notice that Wolfie was gone! She stood up concerned for the chibified gunslinger. Her action caused everyone to look at her.
"Is something wrong Kaede-san?" Negi asked pausing from his speech, curious at what would get the young ninja to do something so out of character.
"Wolfie missing!" She yelled concerned for the little chibi. Everyone else jumped on top of their desks fearful of what the little hell raiser would do. Well mostly everyone Zazie continued to stare off into space, Setsuna ignored it as it was no real threat to Konoka, and Mana being so professional just sat there till she heard some 'tinkling' noise coming from her bags where she kept her guns. With extreme caution she opened the bag, inside was little Wolfie deconstruction her guns!
Mana stared shell shocked at seeing her precious SIG 45 Semi-automatic pistols in pieces. "EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA" her scream echoed over the whole campus, many stop and cleaned out there ears before shrugging it off as a trick of the wind. Well back in the class room Mana was crying anime style as she held what remain of her prized possession. Negi nervously moved through the crowd of girls that surround the hysterical mercenary. This is one thing he never in a million years would of thought he would have to deal with; a crying Mana.
"Its ok Mana-san, I'm sure Jack can repair them when he gets back." Negi reassured the mercenary, rubbing her back as he sent his fiercest glare toward the Chibi, but Little Jack was not intimidated as he blew a spit bubble.
"Tell you what Mana-san; since Jack's cousin broke your guns. You can use one of Jack's till he comes back and fixes them, ok?" he got a teary eyed nod in response. Just then the bell rang signaling the end of class. "That time already? You girls are excused. Mana-san you can come with me and take your pick of Jack armory; I'll write you a pass for your next class."
"Thank you Negi-sensei." Said Mana wiping away the tears (I know its a little OOC for Mana to cry but let's just say those guns were from a certain Capitan.)
Negi, Kaede, and Mana went to the dorms, if Jack had a weapons stash it would be in Kaede's room. After unlocking the door for them Kaede decides to take Chibi Jack to get some lunch as he kept trying to beast feed himself through her uniform.
"Just hold on little guy, I get you some milk soon enough." She cooed at the chibi making him giggling with excitement. Well the two that stayed behind ransacked the ninja's room for the cowboy's guns. After of ten minutes of searching they found nothing!
"We on earth did he put those guns? I swear he had enough for ten people last time I saw them." Negi growled as he searched through Jack's pile of clothes that littered the floor. He was about to give up when he saw Jack's satchel bag leaning against the wall. It couldn't be could it? Grabbing the bag Negi turned it upside down and out fell a shit load of weapons! Everything from pistols, rifles, a galting gun, cannons, and several high explosives!
"Well take your pick Mana-san." Negi said backing away as a predatory look appeared on the mercenaries face. She ending up taking two of Jack's high powered 45 semi-auto pistols, one Winchester 44/45 repeater, and couple sticks of dynamite. Negi shivered in fear at what she was going to do with all that stuff.
Later the night Makie Sasaki walked alone on the night if the full moon never seeing the red eyed Phantom following her till it was too late! The time of the vampire was at hand!
