Pairings: Negi X ku-Fei Kaede X OC

Chapter 61: Dance with a dagger in hand your left hand and a cross in you right.

I don't own Negima

Negi, Ray, and Kataro trump through the front door carrying well over a half a dozen dresses and accessories bought by the girls. Shopping with one girl is hard enough, but shopping with six and it was a nightmare to say the least. The only light side of this was that it was Jake's money being spent… wait he's been trapped in a jar for over thirty years where did he get… All the guys check their wallets.

"Crap!" They yelled in unison. They really got the wool pulled over their eyes on this one.

"I see you all got what you need for tonight." Jake said entering the room. He was dressed in his finest outfit black jeans, black boots with silver sewed on the toe, a white dress shirt, black vest and hat, and to finish it all off a black gun belt and the gun he used during the war, a .44 colt navy modified with explosive magic shot. "You better get ready; Ms. Kaede is way ahead of you all." He said stepping to the side to reveal Kaede dressed up like no one ever seen before!

Kaede blushes, everyone was looking at her. "Please don't stare, this is embarrassing." The dress she wore was blood red and out lined in black, the middle was a corset made to show a lot of cleavage and the shirt was similar to a kimono so almost her entire leg was showing. "Don't really feel comfortable in this, I mean it was your wife's dress." She said concerned that that dress would rip at any moment. She's seen the pictures of Jake's first wife Ester and they were not very close in size, height, or bust size.

"That's mom's dress? I didn't know she even owned a dress like that!" Ray exclaims. He too remembers that his mother defiantly didn't have a chest that big. He was expecting Kaede's twins to pop out of the scarlet silk at any moment.

"Alright, that enough staring," Jake clapped ushering the other girls into their rooms. "Get ready I want to be in the air by six." He stated shutting the door. Kotaro scratches his head confused.

"Why do we have to get ready so early? It's only one o'clock." The young hanyou asked. Jake ruffles his hair.

"I guess your father never told a thing about women has he?"

"No why?"

Jake smiles. "You'll understand one day."

It was a quarter to six when the girls finally finished, with whatever it was that they did, personally Jake thought they had finished hours ago and were simply making them wait just because they could.

The first to emerge was Sayo, sporting a snow white kimono with flower decorations and a yellow obi, it suited her perfectly. Second were the twins both wore the same style dresses, simple one piece gowns, pink in color. Third was Chachamaru, with her new realistic skin she was able to sect a dress that showed of her beautiful created skin. A backless green dancing gown suited her. Finally Konoka and Setsuna who each wore a fancy lacy dress with lots of furls, fitting for a princess of the Konoe clan, though Setsuna complained that the dress would infer with her combat skills. That was ok through, Jake had plan in case of unexpected attack.

Now it was the guys turn, Negi and Kataro wore black suits and used age deceiving pills, well Ray wore a non-weathered version of his usual attire, minus the black just coat.

Outside the airship from the governor arrived. The pilot made sure not to touch the ground or let any of the escorts leave the ship. They had received a phone call earlier saying that if they touched any part of the McCoy ground they would killed on sight, and left for the wolves.

Nervously the pilot watched the four men and six women board his vessel. Oh god he thought, he would demand a raise if he survives this. To make matters worse one of the men, the one sitting to the woman in the red dress began to sing, an oh so scary song.

I'm a good old rebel and that just what I am.

For this fake land I do not care a damn.

I hate this government and the sinners who run it.

I hate the nations and kingdoms of the union.

Killing crusaders, knights and any in my path, none shall escape my wraith.

I've been quiet for thirty years and now I'll yet out a yell.

6,987,938, dead by my hands, and soon I'll have the 7,000,000 to count.

I don't want no pardon for anything I've done.

For I do not care a damn.

"Ha this your captain speaking, saying were have arrived and that you should fasten your seat beats and a… be quiet, please?" The pilot announced nervously. He couldn't explain it but that man scared the living shit out of him!

"Was that really necessary dad?" Ray asks his father. Poor man was going to be scarred for life now, after hearing the anthem of the immortal army. Granted he didn't know it was Thee Jake McCoy singing it, but still that song scared people.

"Yes, yes it was, and now I'll be much more fun this night." His tone dictated that it wasn't the goo kind of fun. Ray paled at the sight of the red pill in his father's hand.

No he didn't plan to. He pleads, but his father disappeared in a swirl of dark energy, before he could try to stop him. This was bad. He knew what his father was going to do, and there was no one to stop him.

"Where did Jack, I mean Jake go Ray?" Negi asks the old gunslinger.

Ray shook his head. "Doesn't matter, now come on you have a date with the governor kid," Mostly likely it will be a short one. He grumbled looking up at the moon. It's going to be a long bloody night.

Just then the lights dimmed and a spot light shined down a figure flamboyantly making his way down the long elegant stair case was none other than Governor Kurt Gödel, former member of Ala Rubra, and swordsman of the Shinmei-ryū.

"Welcome, welcome my esteem guests; please direct your attention to our guest of honor for tonight Negi Springfield, son of the Thousand master, and of course the legendary Ray McCoy as well." Kurt announced dramatically pointing to the group standing by the door. "I'm so glad you accepted my invitation, Negi, Ray," The governor said smiling like a snake. Both Negi and Ray really wanted to punch the man's lights out.

"Yes, it's good to meet one of my father's friends." Negi greeted with clutched teeth. In truth he wasn't too thrilled about seeing the governor again. He was always trying to trick Negi into joining him on his insane revenge scheme against the senate.

"Yes I'm sure, now come we have much to talk about," Kurt said beckoning the young mage to follow. "Oh and you may only bring three of you companions." He added.

Negi looked to Ray. Things were different this time around, and that means the danger was different too, so he would have to choose wisely, but it was reassuring to know the reverend would be here to protect those left behind.

"Ku-Fei, Kaede, and Sayo," These three he knew would be the best. They all were close as family to him and could handle the ugly truth of his past.

Kurt nods, "Very well, follow me."

Kurt led them to his personal office. There he had them all take a seat in front of his desk. Behind him was a gaint portrait of Negi's mother Akira, the slight of which really creped the young mage out because she was nude with leaves covering her privates. He swore he would trounce the man as so as he was done talking.

"Well Negi," Kurt began folding his hands together. "Do you want to know the truth about your mother and father? Did you know your mother was Arika Anarchia Entheofushia? The Queen of Calamity, the one who destroyed her own country?" He screeched, first he would enrage the body and then he would be eating out of his hand. That was the plan, but Negi didn't react, nor show any outward emotion.

"Yes, I knew that, and I also know that she wasn't anything like you said, she was a kind and caring person who loved her country and its people. Just because you didn't agree with her methods doesn't mean you can call her by such despicable names." Negi calmly rebuked the governor. "I also know that the senate is responsible for the attack on my village, and most like they are the very same ones who started the war, though at that time they were the High counsel of the new world church."

Kurt flinched, how, how did this kid know so much! Very few knew the truth of his heritage and even fewer knew that the Megalomesembria senate was mostly comprised of members of the fallen church order.

"How did you know that?" It was now Negi's turn to smirk.

"It was quiet simple to figure out really. My enhanced magic ability, and the fact that my father and the Queen of Ostia were rather close it logical to think that that they fell in love, but thanks to you I was able to finally confirm it. As for the senate members, what a better way to hid from you enemies then to change you names and "Fix" the problems of the world well using Ala Rubra and the Queen of Ostia and The Dark king to do the hard work. I know you also want to get back at them for trying to execute my mother, who you love, if that really creepy painting behind you says anything. However I'm afraid to inform you that you will not have you revenge."

Kurt quirked an eyebrow, "Oh really, do you plan to stop me? If so I will eliminate you here and now, no one will get in my way of revenge not even you the son of the woman I love!"

Negi shook his head. "It's not me, and no one will stop you. He will just kill them before you do."

"What do you mean? Who is this he you speak off?" Kurt demanded angrily. Just then a drop of red fell on to his desk from the floor above, where the senate members were gathered. Being governor he had the power to order them to attend his little party. The phrase keep your enemies close was his mantra. More drops fell from the ceiling, the strong smell of iron told that it was blood.

"What's this? What's going on?" The governor asked no one in particular. It was at that moment that one of guards to the senate burst through the doors. The only problem, he was missing his legs.

"Sir, the senate they've all been killed!" The guard spluttered was he slowly started to fade. Kurt ran to his side and tried to shake the man for answers.

"Who, who killed them! Tell me!" He yelled. He would kill the one who stole his revenge!

"It was-ga!" the man's words were snuffed out by the blade that pieced his neck; the assassin was a blue haired maid, Kurt knew as Annabelle the sweet maid who feed the orphans, and worked hard every day. Too think she just killed a man, a palace guard no less, in cold blood.

"Annabelle, why have you betrayed me?" Kurt demanded. The maid simply looked at him with dead eyes, eyes of someone who had seen much evil and had done even more.

"I haven't betrayed you, because I have never served you. My mission was to ensure that all of my master's enemies were gathered together so they maybe dealt with all at once. Any other who are evil and corrupt as they will be eliminated by my sisters, including you Governor Gödel," she said stabbing the man in the chest, and then kicking him hard into his own desk sending to splinters.

Struggling to his feet the Governor was determined to find out who had throated his plans. "What have I done to become you so called master's enemy?" He asked pressing down on the wound on his chest.

Annabelle narrowed her eyes at the man. She hated his arrogance, but he deserved to know why he was going to die, she guessed. "You were trying to steal my master revenge and were interfering in greater plan beyond your comprehension. Your single minded plan to save only the humans of this world is not the right course. There for to ensure the future, you will be killed," She stated charging the wounded Governor. However before she could deal the final blow she was stabbed through the chest! Kurt had managed to grab hold of his sword used it to skewer his attacker.

"Ah! I will not fall to one such as you!" He mocked. His victory was short lived as the maid thrust her hand blade into his neck killing him for good. Before he pasted on though, Kurt realized what she was. "You're… a… doll." He gasped as the life finally life his body. Negi and the girls stared at the assassin, everything happened so fast that they had no way of helping the man, so they stood against the wall waiting for her next move, but she made no aggressive efforts towards them. Instead she pointed to the door and said.

"Go on floor up, my master will be waiting for you." Annabelle said dejected as she walked over the guard's corpse. "I must bury this man, and inform his family of his passing, it is the least I can do." Negi nods in understanding, and left the room with the other following close behind.

"Are you sure it's alright to leave her there Negi? I mean she did kill two people right in front of us." Sayo said concern about the young mages handling of the Governor's death. It was like he didn't care at all.

Negi sighed he knew this was going to happen. "What could we do? Arrest her? She's too strong for that. We would have to kill her, but then we would have her master to deal with and if it's who I think it is, then we wouldn't stand a chance." He explained climbing the stairs.

"Who is her master, Negi?" Ku Fei asked. This was very confusing, but she trusted Negi, and that's all she needed to know. Kaede was the one to answer her question.

"It's not hard to figure out Ku," the ninja said as they come to the senate room doors, and flung them open revealing the true assassin. "The one who wants revenge for what they did to his family, Jake McCoy," She whispered as the blood soaked figure turned their way. The face was different, but Kaede knew from the pictures that it was indeed Jake, still trapped in Jack's body. He used the red changer pill turn Jack's appearance into his own. They now stood face to face with the Dark gunslinger of the magic world.

"Hello everybody," Jake said sweetly as if wasn't in a room covered in blood. "How is you night going so far? Bad? Well it's about to get a lot worse." He said as screams echoed from the ballroom. The black monsters of Cosmo Entelecheia were attacking!

Jake grinned evilly "Now let's get this war over with shall we?"
