Reikai Sensei Kuwabara Chapter 32, a Yu Yu Hakusho + Negima! Magister Negi Magi/魔法先生ネギま！ Crossover fanfic

Well I think it's time we initiate Mako-chan to the crazinessof Mahora and the Akumatsu-verse as a whole, don't you?

And we ALL know what that means...kukukukuku...

HEAVEN OR HELL?

LET'S RAWK!!!

32nd period.

Makoto yawned, switching off her alarm clock before it had finished its first ring, not wanting to annoy anyone by letting it carry one. Stretching, the brunette promptly climbed out of the deliciously soft bed, grabbing her bath things before making for the bathroom, mumbling to herself in her morning funk.

'Least the floors aren't too cold.' She noted, wondering how exactly you could heat up a hardwood floor, before shrugging it off and slipping into the bathroom and out of her pajamas, so out of it she didn't even hear the water running until she pulled the curtain back, a wave of steam snapping her instantly awake.

Kuwabara, who'd been enjoying a nice morning shower, confident in the fact that Chachamaru was downstairs cooking breakfast and Evangeline was staying home with her fever, could only stand there like a statue as he gaped at his roommate, the two of them too stunned by what was going on to even react, his fingers frozen in the act of rinsing his hair.

Makoto stared at the man she and her friends had come to see as a friend at Todai, someone they could trust because, despite his features, he had never looked at them in a way that set their guard up. He'd actually been more of a gentleman than anyone they'd ever met, so much so that Rei had actually hypothesized he batted for the other team, though she hadn't meant anything by it, probably.

Now though, as the brunette's gaze traveled ever so slowly downwards, eyes widening alarmingly at the sight before her, she felt herself hoping that, for once, Rei's predictions turned out to be a load of crock like Usagi always insisted they were.

"Sensei?" Chachamaru called out from the door, the two adults snapping back to reality, whipping round to espy the gynoid standing there with several freshly pressed towels in her arms "I forgot to replace the old ones," she offered plainly, as if the sight of two naked faculty members didn't faze her in the slightest "I hope I didn't inconvenience you."

"Not a problem!" Kuwabara assured the gynoid, whipping the shower curtain back to cover his shame, pointedly looking everywhere but at the flushing Makoto, who'd grabbed one of the towels and wrapped herself in it hurriedly with a choked 'thank you'.

"Very well," Chachamaru offered, bowing slightly with her usual impassive stare, though it seemed to rest on Makoto's bust line for a few seconds "Breakfast shall be ready in a few minutes, will you have coffee or tea?"

"Coffee." Both adults muttered, looking at each other and blushing as they realized they'd spoken in tandem, even as Chachamaru excused herself with a bow.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I should set up cameras." Evangeline snorted, listening as Kuwabara stampeded out of the bathroom to the safety of his room, screaming apologies the entire way despite Makoto doing the same "I'd make a killing on Mahotube."

"Master…" Chachamaru uttered, looking at the dark evangel worriedly as she continued to cackle silently into her tea. In truth the gynoid had felt a little concerned for their roommate, as her senses had detected faint whispers of magic about the brunette, hidden but nonetheless tangible enough to set off her warning systems "Kino-san could be…"

"A mage, right?" Evangeline muttered, cutting the gynoid off with a smug look "I'm not so out of practice that I can't recognize someone with a magical aura, even if they're concealing it." She sipped her tea "Still, either she's the worlds best actress, or Konoe didn't bother telling her who she was bunking with…otherwise she'd have pegged me for what I am from the start."

Chachamaru said nothing, as her master had covered several key points already, but resolved to keep a tighter watch on the Kino-sensei while they were at home. If it turned out she was a threat to the master, as the undying magi was still a notorious figure, even with her bounty revoked, then she would be removed immediately.

Until then however, the gynoid played the perfect host, and saw to it that the woman's eggs were set out for her by the time she stumbled down the stairs, doing her merry best to avoid looking at an equally mortified Kuwabara.

'Dammit, did someone curse me to keep getting peeked on in baths?' Kuwabara muttered, trudging alongside the girls as he lead the way to the campus, Evangeline sending him smirks over her shoulder while Chachamaru conversed with Makoto about school life, the brunette flushing whenever he looked back at her 'I swear, does Negi get into these…oh wait…'

Shaking his head at the younger sensei's plight, chuckling guiltily, as at least HE didn't have half the damn campus after him, the Tantei led the way to the classroom, dropping Evangeline and Chachamaru off before leading Makoto to the staffroom, leaving Evangeline scowling after them as he ruffled the vampire's hair.

"You two get along well." Makoto chuckled, looking at Kuwabara with an amused smile, having pushed the incident from the morning behind her, or at least to that part of her mind that was still a teenager to savor it for later gossip material "She the sister you kept talking about?"

"Naw, Shizuru-ne's my older sister, she runs a hair salon down in Juuban." Kuwabara admitted, titling his head over his shoulder at the scowling vampire loli "The dean set me up in Eva-chan's cottage, probably to keep an eye on her."

"No way! You're sister runs that salon on the main street?" Makoto asked, looking up at the lanky professor in abject surprise, a wide smile spreading across her face "My friends and I used to go there all the time!"

"Small world ain't it?" Kuwabara chuckled, opening the door to the staff room and letting the brunette in first, only to curse as his radar went off "Crap! I gotta be somewhere! Nita-san! Just leave my stuff on my desk!"

Makoto blinked, watching as Kuwabara hauled ass down the hallway at speeds that would've made him the envy of any high school track team, dust kicking up in his wake, only to blink as someone patted her on the shoulder.

"That's Kuwabara-san for you," Seruhiko chuckled, the bishounen sensei shaking his head at the taller man's antics "Always dashing off to parts unknown, but he still manages to hold down the classes here."

"Unlike SOME people." Nita pointed out, looming behind the bishounen, his glasses shining dangerously "Like a certain pretty-boy sensei that STILL hasn't handed in his report from the last budget meeting."

'Weird group.' Makoto noted, watching as Seruhiko backed into a corner, weeping pitiably under the glare of the 'Mahora Oni', which could even impress Evangeline, a smile crossing her features as Shizuna helped her to her desk 'Still, it's a new start!'

"Seriously, I go away for a few days and you bastards think it's open season?" Kuwabara muttered, grinding his foot into the head of a scalper demon that'd been pedaling contraband behind the campus 7-11. Luckily none of his clients had purchased anything fatal for human consumption, but there'd been reports of people passing out in the streets, stoned out of their minds and screaming about spiders and pink elephants...those that were coherent anyways.

"Just tryin' to make a livin' guv." The scalper muttered, giving virtually no form of resistance, his hands held behind his head in a classic police submission pose "I'm not hurtin' anyone neither, the stuff actually removes toxins from the body…though the rush can be a bit rough for newbies."

"Which is why you're not gettin' a reiki blade shoved up your ass." Kuwabara pointed out, his scowl decidedly less severe than normal "Though you'll probably wish I did once Hiei's through with you."

"Meh, I had a good run." The scalper allotted, shrugging offhandedly, which was imnpressive, considering Kuwabara was still grinding his head into the asphalt "And the worst he'll do is cut off a few fingers, those'll grow back in no time."

"Just don't go selling contraband here again." Kuwabara muttered, lifting his foot of the convict as a portal to Makai opened up, two swarthy ogres standing there with fearsome expressions, though they bowed politely to Kuwabara when they saw him, dragging the vagrant off for his punishment. The tantei watched as the portal shut, before sighing and rubbing the back of his neck, wondering just what the hell the world was coming to, before heading back to the campus. He wasn't slated to teach 3-A today but there were other classes that needed his attention, the only saving grace being they weren't a three ring circus like 3-A, so he could expect a nice break of normality for a while.

"Mornin' class!" he called out, smiling as the residents of 2A stood to attention, nodding to them with a smile as he turned to the board "Right, last time we said we'd do some experiments, so everyone pair up and stand by your desks."

He had to smile as the teens sorted amongst themselves, wondering if he and Urameshi'd ever been that eager to learn, before scoffing and shaking his head at the thought. The only thing Urameshi had learned in high school was how to drive educators up the wall and dodge the truancy officers. "Right," he called out, once the class had settled into groups of two, "Now we're going to be studying the effects of helium gas on a variety of sources," he shot a pink haired girl at the back a warning look "And Tsukino, that doesn't mean you can inhale the stuff to make your voice squeaky again."

"But sensei!" the pinkette complained, her bubblegum pink hair done up in what looked like pointy odango, or snow cones, her bright blue eyes wide in the traditional kiddy pout "That takes all the fun out of it!"

"Fun for you maybe." Kuwabara muttered, quirking an eyebrow as the class chuckled in amusement at the girl's antics "But then YOU didn't have to sit through a lecture from Nita-sensei about misusing dangerous materials."

The class, as one, shuddered at the mention of Nita, as many of them had heard the tales about him from their sempai during assemblies and whatnot. Even Tsukino looked decidedly uncomfortable at the mention, and stepped closer to her lab partner, one Tomoe Hotaru, out of sudden fear, lest the Mahora Oni apparate through the walls to see if there were any bad children.

'He's like Namahage or somethin'' Kuwabara chuckled, recalling how Seruhiko had admitted to starting most of the rumours around the campus, a guilty thrill that Nita, fortunately, hadn't caught onto yet 'Oh well, so long as he keeps 'em in line I could care less.'

Makoto smiled as she walked down the halls of the academy, waving at the cheerful students and fellow educators as she made her way to 2A to pick up the class for their P.E lesson. It was her first day, and she wanted to make as good as impression on as many people as possible, but so far all her other classes had been a breeze, though there had been a slight tiff between a group of girls from St. Ursula's, the high school section, and one of the other classes, but she'd sorted that out with a few sharp words and a glare that had cowed many a street thug back in her own high school days.

"Yosh, here goes." She muttered, taking a deep breath in the corridor, before clenching a fist and sliding the classroom door open, just as the bell rang "Yo, Kuwabara!" she greeted, pulling off a mock salute "I'm here to take the brats off your hands!"

"Right on time, Makoto-san." Kuwabara noted, having known from her aura that she was standing behind the door, before correcting himself with a slight smile "Or should I call you Kino-sensei now?"

"Mako-chan!" a voice from the back of the class called out, both teachers turning with surprise to see Tsukino Usa standing up on her desk with wide, sparkling eyes "You're our new gym teacher? COOL!"

"Chibi-usa?" Makoto stammered, surprise lining her features as she looked over the future daughter of one of her closest friends in shock, earning a confused look from Kuwabara for her familiarity with the class prankster "What…when did you enroll here?"

"Ru-chan and I started here when you guys went off to college!" Chibi-Usa replied with a smile, drawing Makoto's attention to her shy, purple eyed classmate, who bowed in greeting towards her fellow senshi "didn't mo…I mean, Usagi, tell you?"

"No she didn't." Makoto admitted, the two of them shaking their heads at their best friend/future mother's forgetfulness, before the brunette straightened up and pumped a fist "Alright then, let's head on outside!"

The class cheered, waving farewell to a smiling Kuwabara, before following after the energetic Kino-sensei, who shot the science teacher a farewell wave as she left the class.

"Well…she's in high spirits." Kuwabara chuckled, shaking his head as he watched the class file out eagerly, wanting to escape the evils of chemistry for the wonders of the sports field "I don't know who's more eager, her or the students."

Shaking his head, the tantei noted that, as the last of his scheduled classes of the day, having taken them for biology and physics as well, he was basically free the rest of the evening. With a glance at his watch, he decided to grab an early lunch and made his way to the cafeteria, nodding at the greetings sent his way from staff and student alike. It wasn't until he was walking by one of the connecting windows that he espied Ku Fei and Negi walking along, apparently deep in conversation.

'Probably just lecturing her on something…' he muttered offhandedly 'she IS a member of the Baka Rangers after all.' He chuckled at the groups moniker, and would have gone on his way were it not for the sight of several other members of the class trailing behind them 'Uh oh…what's Negi-bozu gotten himself into this time?'

"Wow! Another perfect strike!" Yuna cheered, watching as Ku Fei decimated the pins with a skill that put professional bowlers to shame. It certainly made you want to pity the poor, inanimate lumps of painted wood.

"Is easy-aru." Ku replied with her usual modesty, rubbing her yellow hair in embarrassment "Except for studying, I is having no weaknesses-hm?" she looked around as a surge of killing intent flared, only to find Ayaka looking the other way "Hoo, sense strong Ki-aru, must be imagination…" she blinked as a familiar face walked through the door "Aiyah! Kuwabara-sensei!"

"Yo." Kuwabara greeted, smiling at the sight of over half of the 3A denizens loitering about the bowling alley, either cheering or bowling themselves, the tantei nodding at Negi as the welsh youth waved at him "Treating the girls to a night out bozu?"

"Actually," Asuna cut in, sighing in disbelief as Negi blubbered in embarrassment at the older educator's teasing insinuation "Konoka, Setsuna and I invited him and Ku Fei to go bowling…" she shot Ayaka a look "Class-Rep found out and dragged the rest of them along."

"Ah well, the more the merrier." Kuwabara chuckled, shaking his head in bemusement at the younger sensei's plight "kid should know better to be walking alone with a member of your class huh? Even if it is a fellow Baka ranger."

"Who are you calling a baka?!" Asuna hissed, hand slapping the air and pigtails levitating in her ire, her face a mask of embarrassment as she pulled out a sheaf of test papers and held them out before her like a riot shield "I'll have you know my scores have gone up 10%!"

"So she's scoring about 13% now." Konoka giggled, earning a reproachful glare from Asuna, who's shoulders slumped in defeat, a bell tolling over her head. Kuwabara chuckled at the sight, honestly amused that the hyperactive 3A could act normally for a change, looking up just in time to espy Nodoka having trouble with her game.

The poor girl seemed to be struggling to LIFT her ball, which even from here the tantei could tell was too heavy for her, and her face as the thing rolled neatly into the gutter was heart wrenching. "Need some help?" he asked, startling the shy bookworm as he sidled up behind her, rifling through the assorted balls with a knowing look "Lemme give you a few tips, I'm an old pro at this."

"A-arigatou." Nodoka stammered, bowing in thanks while Yue and Haruna looked on from the side, the manga-ka's eyes glinting mischievously as her devious mind put the situation into different perspectives not suited for this fiction rating.

"Right first off, lets find a ball you can actually hold with one hand." Kuwabara chuckled, earning an embarrassed flush from the girl "Ain't nothing ta be ashamed about, but someone with a smaller build needs ta stick to th' smaller ones and work their way up gradually." He leant in close "Just between you an' me, th' smaller ones tend ta be easier ta direct too."

Nodoka giggled, watching as Makie 'accidentally' dropped her ball, nearly nailing Ayaka on the foot, for which the Class Rep rightfully believed was foul play. She accepted a smaller ball from her science teacher, noting with relief it WAS easier to handle than the larger ones she'd tried, only to blink as he sidled up behind her, a hand on her own.

"Now don't just toss the thing." Kuwabara instructed, unaware of how embarrassed the shy girl looked as he guided her hand in a gentle swinging motion, "try to keep your hand straight but loose, the better to release the ball."

"You sure know a lot about ball handling sensei." Haruna called out, drawing a few shocked stares from the surrounding class, as they didn't miss the play on words she'd used "You thinking about giving lessons?"

"URUSEI!" Kuwabara snapped, startling Nodoka so much she released the ball with a yelp, the sphere soaring down the aisle, barely touching the waxed floor, before crashing into the pins for a perfect strike.

"Way to go Honya-chan!" the cheerleaders cried out, somehow whipping their pompoms out of thin air in a celebratory dance, even as the class promptly broke out into cheers "Looks like Class Rep's got a new rival!"

"Well this is a surprise." A voice called out, Kuwabara looking round to espy Makoto walking up to them, dressed in a Mahora teacher's tracksuit, clearly on her way back from her last class "I come by to see if I can cool off with a quick game and I find a party in full swing."

"That's 3A for ya." Kuwabara replied with a shrug, titling his head towards the merry-goers with a helpless smile on his face, noting that at some point Negi had been swept off his feet once again, the group carrying him like a rocker at a concert "When they do something they don't do it by halves…cept maybe studying."

"Well excuse us!" came the embarrassed yell from several members of the group, most particularly the athletes and cheerleaders, as the Bakas, with the exception of Asuna, weren't all that concerned with their GPA in the first place, a small, controlled riot breaking out as they squabbled amongst themselves.

Makoto chuckled, watching the girls bicker amongst themselves, a catfight starting up, predictably, between Asuna and Ayaka, which Kuwabara was forced to interrupt by tearing them off one another. "Looks like you've got your hands full." She noted, nodding towards the near rioting group of teens as Ayaka challenged Makie, Ku Fei and Nodoka to a showdown "Think you can take your eyes off them for a quick game?"

"That a challenge?" Kuwabara asked, quirking an eyebrow as he caught the glint in the brunette's eyes, the two of them smirking at one another as he slipped out of his jacket and removed his tie, Motoko undoing her track top to reveal a 'Just do it!' T-shirt underneath.

"Best of one round wins." The brunette insisted, watching as their names were run up on a separate scoreboard, one hand on her hip, the other hoisting a decent sized green ball up in the air with little difficulty.

"Sounds good to me." Kuwabara muttered, dressed in his good shirt, the top buttons undone to let him breath, with the sleeves rolled up for mobility. So saying, he hoisted a large, orange ball up and nodded at his fellow instructor and Todai graduate "Ladies first."

"A gentleman as always." Motoko scoffed, before promptly sending the green ball down the aisle, decimating the unsuspecting pins with a perfect strike that earned whistles from the onlookers "Beat that!"

"Please." Kuwabara chuckled, rearing his arm back and HURLING his own ball down the aisle, sending pins flying in all directions as the 'STRIKE!' anthem played up again "You were saying?"

Makoto merely grinned at the challenge, reaching down and scooping up her ball as it reappeared, advancing on the next set of pins with a gleam in her eyes.

"Hey check it out!" Kakizaki Misa cried out, looking away from the four-way challenge to win Negi-kun to espy the two educators going at it with equal, if not greater, fervor, drawing the rest of the group's attention.

"WHOA! Kino-sensei's stacked!" Kugimiya Madoka noted, the husky-voiced cheerleader's eyes widening with appreciation as she watched the older woman knock down another set of pins, her own bouncing lightly in the confines of the T-shirt.

"Look at Kuwabara-sensei go!" Sakurako cheered, watching the friendly science teacher decimate another set, the group flushing slightly as they realized his collar buttons were undone and sleeves rolled up, giving them a good peek at his own goods "Wow…he's been working out!"

"Understatement of the year much?" Misa chuckled, looking over the scene with a slight grin as she watched the educators battle it out "Man, those two are something else! Nothing but strikes every time!"

"Kukukuku…" came an insidious chuckle from behind, the group turning to find Saotome 'Paru' Haruna leering at the scene, pushing her glasses up in a manner oddly reminiscent of a certain ex-shinnigami captain "And here I thought it was just Negi-kun that could inspire such feelings…" he smile grew decidedly more sinister "But there's no doubt about it…I detect the telltale scent of the Love Reek!"

"Where in the hell do you get off saying those weird things?!" Asuna yelled from behind, a blush on her face as she resisted the urge to whip out her harisen and bean the perverted manga-ka. Though she had to admit, as she watched the grinning educators battling it out, the scene did look rather…energetic. 'NOO! Bad Asuna! Bad Asuna!' she yelled, gripping her head and slamming it into a bowling ball to clear it of Haruna's evil whispers 'You're not a pervert! You can't become like Class Rep!'

"Just what do you mean by that, Asuna-san?!" Ayaka demanded darkly, looming up from behind and pinching the redhead's cheeks as the latter realized, too late, that her inner voice had become an outer without noticing.

"Yare-yare, they're really going at it, de gozaru." Kaede noted with a chuckle, though whether she was referring to the battling sensei or the newly restarted catfight between Baka red and the class rep was anyone's guess.

"Kuwabara-sensei too-too strong aru!" Ku Fei admitted, watching the battle with interest, having already decimated her own challengers, though Nodoka had surprisingly managed to come in second, much to Ayaka's ire "And Kino Sensei too! Maybe I get good spar later aru?"

"Ku Fei-san." Negi called out, catching the martial-artists attention despite the growing volume of the group's cheers as they egged the combatants, older and younger, onwards "Can I talk to you in private for a moment?"

"What a night…" Kuwabara muttered with an exhausted sigh, a slight ache to his shoulders from the marathon strike fest he'd gotten wrapped up in, as neither he nor Motoko had managed to utdo the other "After all that time only to tie..."

"We should do this again." Motoko agreed, her hair and tracksuit mussed up from exertion, a healthy glow on her cheeks as they trudged down the gravel path to the cottage "Maybe get a few of the others in, it was like old times."

"Yeah…" Kuwabara agreed, smiling fondly at the memory of those weekends when he, Motoko and a few of their college friends would spend the night on the town, either bowling up a storm or singing themselves hoarse at the campus karaoke bars.

"It was great bumping into you here." Makoto admitted, a wistful smile on her face as she walked along, letting the cool night air wash against her face "Did you ever manage to confess to that girl of yours?"

"Y-Yukina-chan?" Kuwabara stammered, recalling how he'd spilled the beans about his crush on the Koorime, if not her identity, to the group during one of their beer-runs "N-Naw…never found the right time…don't wanna scare her off y'know?"

"Right." Motoko chuckled, smiling wistfully as the orange haired man spouted off on his grand plans for confessing his love, watching his face with a kind smile, before sighing and shaking her head wistfully. 'Buck it up girl.' She ordered herself, walking along with her head high 'It was never anything special…he was just there when we needed him, like a real friend should be, that's all.'

It didn't stop her from shivering slightly at the memory of The Incident, the aftereffects of which had cemented the big lug's place in her life, and her friends', as someone they could trust.

And that's as good as initiations go right?
