Reikai Sensei Kuwabara Chapter 35, a Yu Yu Hakusho + Negima! Magister Negi Magi/魔法先生ネギま！ Crossover fanfic

Picking right up where we left off, with a little development here and there.

Shall we?

HEAVEN OR HELL?

LET'S RAWK!

35th period.

"Yo, Kuwabara-kun." Seruhiko greeted, the bishounen sensei whistling at the sight of the younger man's appearance as he sidled into the office, one eye opening in approval "Nice tan! You go somewhere nice for golden week?"

"Sort of." Kuwabara admitted with a chuckle, the tanned tantei dumping a little hula-girl bobble head on the bishounen's desk with a wry smirk, reaching into his bag as he spoke "Here, picked up a couple'a souvenires for ya all..."

"You shouldn't have," Akashi-sensei chuckled, accepting what appeared to be a textbook, only for his eyes to punch through his glasses as he opened it to find it to be the Yukihiro foundation's monthly magazine, complete with candid photos of their maids in various poses.

"Yuna told me you collected this stuff." The lanky professor admitted with a smirk, watching as the girl's father choked in embarrassment, stuffing the book away from Nita's disapproving glare and Seruhiko's inquisitive grin "figured you'd like it more than me."

Yuna's father would've commented, but was too busy wiping away a nosebleed to make any coherent thoughts. Though he did idly wonder about the pages that had included a few telephone numbers drawn on them, apparently in lipstick.

"Yo, Takahata." Kuwabara called out, waving at Asuna's long-time crush, tossing the smiling teacher a pack of cigars as he came in, a file book tucked under his arm and his tie partially undone "Gift from th' islands."

"How nice of you." Asuna's crush chuckled, looking over the cigars in mild approval, before stashing them in his coat pocket for later enjoyment "I prefer cigarettes myself, but these are a treat worth savoring."

"Those things'll kill you." Makoto countered, walking in with a pert smile, her tan drawing appreciative looks as she placed a seashell paperweight on Shizuna's desk "I got a letter opener for Touko-san too." She noted, pulling out a rather wicked looking blade that could've been used to open clams, much to the collective males' horror.

Kuwabara, chuckling at the looks on his fellows' faces, picked up his files and made for the door, ready to deal with the madness that was 3A without any complaints, ruffling Negi's hair as the Welshman showed up, running a little late because Asuna had convinced him to sleep in after the trip.

'Lessee…should I spring a pop-quiz for all th' trouble they caused?' the tantei wondered deviously, a smirk forming on his faced that caused several seniors to back away slowly, only to sigh and shake his head 'Naw…th' day ended well enough…I even had fun now I think it.'

He flushed slightly at the memory of Makoto splashing water at him, sun shining behind her and accentuating her curves and smile as she laughed. The tantei had to literally shake himself to rid himself of the image, after all, it wasn't proper to think about one's colleagues like that, especially when he already had Yukina-chan.

'Plus it wouldn't be right.' He muttered, recalling the events of 'The Incident' with a scowl, Makoto's smiling face replaced with one of her in tears, instantly killing his buzz and sobering his mood, though he quickly corrected himself as he opened the door to 3A.

"Mornin'" he called out, blinking as he was heralded not by the usual 3A riot, but a series of polite calls and bows. While not an uncommon occurrence, as there was the odd intermission between the bouts of madness, it was still random enough to catch him off guard, albeit shortly.

"Take your seats." He called out, walking up his desk as they complied obediently, noting with surprise that Evangeline was present, before shrugging it off "Right, last time we were talking about the rain cycle and the effects of erosion," he picked up, looking over at the girls as they groaned "Now-now, no need to be like that, take the trip to the beach for example, how d'ya think all that sand got there?"

The girls looked a little intrigued by the question, and Kuwabara promptly seized on it to explain how the sea broke down boulders and stones to create the sand that washed up on beaches, though he did notice a few of the girls seemed to eyeballing him with looks akin to HUNGER, most notably the ever disturbing Saotome Haruna, who was cackling softly at the back of the class.

'Note to self, use different escape route today.' The tantei muttered, shivering as he turned his back on the perverted manga-ka, only to shiver as the piercing looks directed at his back intensified. "Is there something wrong ladies?" he called out, turning to face the class with a frown, only to find them looking back at him innocently "Can the act girls," he muttered, looking towards a trembling Misa "Kakizaki looks like she's about to explode, that mean's you've no doubt heard another weird rumor, so out with it."

No sooner had the words left his mouth when he was beset on all sides by the cheerleaders and the rest of the rumor mongers, all of them nattering away from all sides at the same time.

"Sensei! Why didn't you tell us you and Kino-sensei were dating!?" Kakizaki Misa asked, looking deliciously scandalized by the statement, a flush on her face that could rival Nodoka's at her best.

"Yeah sensei!" Sakurako cheered, a little heart in her mouth as she held up a picture of him and Makoto walking arm in arm on the beach, most likely taken when she'd dragged him to the water "How long you been going out huh?"

"Is she your girlfriend sensei?!" Makie asked, the energetic gymnast/Baka Pink's face lighting up with excitement as she held both hands to her cheeks, eyes sparkling "You two look so good together!"

"Like beauty and the beast." Evangeline noted from the back of the class, earning giggles from the class, much to her annoyance, as she hadn't meant to join in the rabble. It'd make her guilty by association after all.

"Still, this is quite scandalous Sensei!" Asakura pointed out, holding a microphone under the stunned Tantei's nose, a smile on her face "Don't you know relationships with co-workers is prohibited? You could get in trouble for this!

"Screw that!" Haruna cut in, leaning in close with a hot flush on her face, much to Kuwabara's discomfort "What we really want to know is: You do her yet?"

The resulting squeal from the manga-ka's statement would've deafened Kuwabara had he not already been turned to an incomprehensible lump of stone from the shock, a reaction that no male anywhere could fault him for.

"Shizuru-chan…" Botan muttered shaking her head in disbelief as she helped carry Kuwabara's elder, supposedly wiser sister back home "You really need to stop competing with Atsuko-san…"

"I'll get as want as I drunka be…" Shizuru murmured unintelligently, waving a hand in dismissal, her cheek brushing against Botan's as they staggered along the corridor "Baka Kazu…making my head hurt…"

Lately, the elder Kuwabara's sixth sense had being going off like a Chinese fireworks display, always centered around her younger brother getting into messes that made her want to strangle him and protect him at the same time. The conflicting emotions, apparently equal in strength, gave the normally reserved woman the mother of all migraines, so strong in fact, that she'd shaved the head of some politician's wife in her store, and had only avoided being sued by the woman being a trendsetter and turning it into the next big thing.

So naturally, in order to alleviate the pain, she'd gotten together with Yusuke's mom and challenged the older woman to see who could outlast the other in a chugging contest, which in retrospect she probably didn't think through enough. Shizuru might have a good head for drink, but she was going up against the woman that gave birth to Urameshi Yusuke. There could only be one outcome.

"At least Atsuko-san called you a cab…"Botan muttered, recalling the phone call from the woman telling her to wait outside the Kuwabara home for Shizuru "But really, it's Kuwabara-kun's job to make reckless mistakes, not you!" she complained, dragging the woman into her room.

"Aw quit complainin'…" Shizuru slurred, her hand rubbing idly against Botan's shirt, making the bluenette gasp at the unexpected touch "Y'know…" the taller woman noted, her breath laced with booze as she smiled up at the ferrywoman "you smell good…"

"Shizuru-san!" the ferrywoman yelped, struggling to drop the woman onto the bed and make a dash for the exits, only to topple onto it herself, the heavier woman landing on top of her and pinning her down "What are you-EEEEEE!!!!!"

Needless to say, Shizuru's long endured dry streak, brought on by being too cool and aloof to attract normal guys, was soon brought to an abrupt end.

"So help me I'm going to MUDER Asakura." The tantei growled hours later, head slumped onto a café table, gripped in his hands as he resisted the urge to put his words into action "And Saotome too! They're making my life HELL!"

Across the globe, countless martial artists sneezed, wondering why on earth the felt a surge of pity go through them.

"Oh lighten up." Evangeline scoffed, sitting across from the man and sipping an espresso with a mocking lilt to her smirk, "you should've known that rumors would start flying when you decided to play 'keep away' with Kino at the beach."

"We were just having fun!" Kuwabara snapped back, glaring at the nosferatu balefully, before gripping his head in frustration "And that Haruna! Coming out with something like that! What if one of the staff heard it?!"

"They'd brush it off as the usual 3A madness." Evangeline replied with the benefit of experience "Seriously, if they reacted to every whisper of scandal that came from our class they'd be at it all day. Takahata used to smoke five packs a day to handle the stress."

"Do tell…" Kuwabara grumbled feeling a little better despite himself, taking a sip of his Perrier with an exhausted sigh "But still, they shouldn't go around saying things like that…S'not proper."

"Who cares about proper?" Evangeline snorted, smirking up at her roommate/emergency food supply coyly over the rim of her cup "Not me, that's for sure. Things are more exciting with a bit of chaos mixed in."

"Seeing as you're idea of a good time is to traumatize Negi-bozu, I'm inclined to disbelieve you." Kuwabara deadpanned, earning another coy smirk from the blonde as she sipped her espresso "And just what are you doing here anyway? Don't you have phys. Ed next?"

"I'm excused." Eva shot back, lifting up a pass-slip between her fingers like a calling card, a smug smirk on her lips "Besides, I needed to talk to you about the pactio without everyone eavesdropping."

"Yeah I've been wondering about this thing too." Kuwabara muttered, pulling out the card he'd formed with Konoka with a flinch "Dunno if magic's my thing, seeing all the trouble it brings."

"That's just because the boya wasn't ready to be sent out yet." Evangeline countered with a scoff "Prodigy or not he should've at least gotten a years experience before being assigned here, if only to better learn the nuances of social graces."

"Like not accidentally stripping teenage girls whenever he sneezes?" Kuwabara quipped, the two of them sharing a brief chuckle over Negi's habits "Or how to avoid bringing up a girl's body in arguments?"

"The very same." Evangeline scoffed, shaking her head in amusement "In that, at least, he's his father's son. Nagi suffered from the same 'foot-in-mouth' tendencies as well…though he tended to be less apologetic about them." She snorted, draining her cup in one go "Now about the benefits of pactio…"

"Kino-sensei's really athletic…" Ako noted with amazement, watching the brunette, dressed in her green tracksuit pants and a white vest as she joined in on a little basketball game with the class.

"Not to mention stacked." Yuna noted with a cheeky grin, watching the woman's assets bounce temptingly beneath the vest "F-cup at least, maybe even a G-cup!" she nodded in approval "I can see why Kuwabara-sensei's hooked on her, I'm straight and even I can tell she's made of pure win."

"Yuna!" Makie gasped, the gymnast blushing scarlet at her friend's daring, looking towards their new phys-ed instructor with a slight, guilty blush, "Though I have to agree…she's got a great figure."

"She could've been a model." Okochi Akira noted, the tall girl marveling at their sensei's long legs and tall frame. She'd always been a bit nervous about her height, despite fellow classmates Kaede and Mana being just as tall, if taller, and it was heartening to see another woman adapt so effectively to it.

"Does seem kinda a waste doesn't it?" Kazumi agreed, the paparazzi snapping off candid shots of the woman to post on the school website "Though Kuwabara-sensei probably wouldn't have stood a chance if she did."

"Don't be mean!" Sakurako giggled, the rest of the group joining in, drawing Makoto's attention towards them, the brunette's woman's intuition telling her she didn't wanna get involved with whatever they were so amused with.

'Reminds me of the times that we used to gossip about each other's love lives.' She noted, recalling how her old friends would get together and basically spill the beans on their significant others, those who had one anyways.

Usagi and Ami were always good for a laugh or three, one so clumsy she could trip on air, the other so shy she'd probably melt if she blushed any harder. Rei, and her crush on Yuichiro, were a good source of amusement too, only curtailed by her habit of hurling fireballs whenever she was pushed too far.

'I wonder if Minako-chan found anyone yet?' the brunette sighed, looking up at the sky at the memory of her fellow, at the time, single. The blonde was always looking for romance, defiant in the face of the 'curse' she claimed to be under to be forever devoid of love.

Sighing at the memory, internally wishing her friend all the luck she deserved, the brunette turned only to find her class, most of them anyways, looking at her with barely concealed bemusement that set her hackles on edge. She hadn't felt this many eyes on her since that time she and the others had fought of a tentacle Youma at an otaku convention. So many wandering hands were burned that day.

"Kino-sensei!" Sakurako called out cheerfully, waving at the tall brunette with her pompoms along with the rest of the cheerleaders "The Mahora Cheerleaders fully support your love for Kuwabara-sensei!"

"Say WHAT?!" Makoto gaped, face turning an interesting shade of magenta as the rest of the class joined in the cheer, some of them setting off fireworks that spelled out Kuwa-Kino $ Eva, much to her mortification "What are you-?!"

"No point in hiding it sensei!" Kazumi countered, holding a photo of her and Kuwabara from the beach, the big lug looking a little lopsided as she tugged on his arm "You and Kuwabara-sensei sure took advantage of that resort trip huh?"

"Kinky sensei!" Fuka cheered, Fumika giggling along side her twin as they danced merrily around the stammering brunette, who was too shocked to process what the hell was going on to counter the accusation.

"So spill it…" Haruna asked, the deranged manga-ka and bane of Kuwabara's existance standing on tiptoe, and still not coming anywhere near the taller woman's ear, as she asked the dreaded question "You two do it yet?"

"HARUNA!" Ayaka shrilled, judo-chopping the perverted manga-ka in the center of the head, earning a spurt of blood for her trouble as Haruna collapsed with a gibber onto the floor "Bad enough you torment Kuwabara-sensei! Have some decency woman!"

"This coming from the girl that hired me to take candid camera shots of Negi-kun for her personal photo album?" Kazumi asked cheekily, her words jabbing into Ayaka as the rest of the girls dog piled her, wanting to see the contents of said album.

'Freaks!' Chisame swore, trembling violently as she pressed her glasses up on her nose with a twitching finger 'I'll admit Kuwabara-sensei's a lot more normal than I thought, but what the hell was with him falling off the roof!? Not to mention taking a barbell to the brain and surviving!'

"Things have gotten a lot more interesting since Kuwabara-sensei and Negi-bozu came, de gozaru." Kaede opined cheerfully from the net idols right, startling Chisame with her sudden proximity "Wouldn't you agree, Hasegawa-han?"

"I wouldn't know!" the bespectacled idol hissed, backing away from Baka Blue like she carried the plague of stupidity, not wanting to be 'tainted' any more than she already had by her eccentric classmates, only to yelp as she was literally absorbed into the full scale riot as the dust ball fighting over Ayaka's album rumbled past, Makoto too dumbstruck to try and separate them.

"…and that basically covers it." Evangeline finished, sipping her tea regally as she watched Kuwabara process the cards functions with a slightly dazed look on his face.

But then it was understandable really, most people needed to train for years to develop special abilities, Evangeline had been no exception, and even now kept up a fierce regimen to ensure she remained at her peak, regardless of how diminished said peak had become. For you to be able to gain a magical boost in speed, strength and defense, coupled with a unique magical artifact that in some circumstances could make you a one-man-army through a virtually nondescript piece of card, was amazing. The fact it would only cost you a kiss was simply the icing on the cake.

"S'a lot ta take in…" Kuwabara admitted, whistling softly as he turned the card over between his fingers "I mean, I'm surprised you guys are so secretive if you can pull out stuff like this to fight with."

"My point exactly." Evangeline admitted, sipping at her tea "Or rather it would have been, had I not lived the past few years in the normal world." She looked at the man with a serious expression "Don't get me wrong, magic wont make you invincible, a more powerful mage and partner combo can easily defeat fledglings like the boya and Konoka, even if they contracted with the entire class." She snorted "That, and the world of mundanes is not to be underestimated, I once commanded fear in the hearts of mages throughout the magical world, but even I wouldn't measure up to a well placed tactical nuke."

Kuwabara winced at the imagery, secretly of the opinion that if Evangeline and a Nuke collided the outcome wouldn't be good for anyone involved, but shrugged it off with a grunt. "So basically, for example, I could tap into Konoka-chan's magic through this card, right?" he asked, earning a nod for his query "But what good's that gonna do if I don't have the card on me?"

"None at all." Evangeline admitted with approval, glad to see the man was using his head, unlike many a recent pactio receiver she'd met "But in your case that shouldn't be a problem, there aren't that many people in your fighting class in the human world nowadays…and those that ARE aren't the type to go around picking fights." She shrugged "Still, having a little magical help can do wonders, even a gorilla like you could pull of a few basic spells if you're lucky."

Kuwabara twitched, wanting nothing more than to bop the nosferatu upside the head, but the fact was she'd brought the conversation exactly where he'd been hoping it'd go. "Yeah…only problem is I don't think I got any magic in me." He pointed out, leaning against the table "I mean I can materialize my Reiken, but that's mostly because my Reikan's pretty top notch."

"Materialization is an abstract form of magic." Evangeline admitted, waving her hand dismissively, "Most people don't bother with it because anything created by magic usually only lasts as long as the magic fuelling it does." She looked him over carefully "Truth be told it's best suited for combat junkies that like to have a ready supply of weapons about them, or for things you don't want to waste time looking for in a pinch."

"My Reiken last until I will them to fade or withdraw my reiki." Kuwabara pointed out, summoning reiki and creating a dagger that, compared to his earlier attempts against Tsuruko, looked relatively solid.

"And they've improved in quality too." Evangeline noted, smirking at the sight of the glowing blade in approval, as it looked a lot more threatening than the fuzzy, light-saber knock-offs he'd wielded before "Still, you need to start branching out a bit more. Yes swords may suit an in-fighter like yourself, but you still need to work creating ranged attacks, hell even a spear or something would be good, especially if you make several at once."

"Like…making weapons on the fly out of thin air?" Kuwabara asked, looking at the girl incredulously asshe smirked at him over the rim of her cup "I'd ask if that was even possible if it weren't for the fact I've seen something like it."

"At the Dark Tournament?" Evangeline asked, smirking as the Tantei's eyes widened in shock "Don't look so surprised sensei, Tatsumiya suspected it first, I merely used her suspicions and Chachamaru's data gathering skills to find the contestant list from the last tourney." She snorted "It wasn't that hard to put two and two together, the number of people with power akin to A-class demons with a name like Kuwabara can be counted on one finger."

"Nice to be noticed…" Kuwabara muttered, recalling how, even after the tournament, it'd mostly been Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei's names that had gotten around the demon grapevine. True it'd made having a NORMAL life easier, namely because he didn't spend all his time looking over his shoulder for demon ambushers, but it miffed him that, despite being the one that wielded the power to slice through the Kekkai that even S-class demons couldn't budge, the three kings hadn't so much as sent him a postcard.

"Oh don't worry," Evangeline assured him, the chibi-vampire smirking coyly at the man "I've no intention of spreading the word on the grapevine, quite frankly it's none of my business." She smirked at him "Besides, I can't very well have attention shining on my roommate, not after Konoe went to all the effort of hushing up my whereabouts."

"Decent of you." Kuwabara snorted, looking the diminutive spell caster over with a sardonic smirk, just knowing that he wasn't about to get out of this scott-free "And lemme guess, all it's gonna cost me is a pint or two?"

"I think I'll take you up on that…" Evangeline admitted, smirking at him coyly, as she hadn't really considered that approach "but the fact is that, like it or not, you've caught my interest," he smirk turned decidedly sinister "and I'll be damned if I don't see just how far I can polish that ability of yours before you break."

Shizuru paused, looking up towards the wall with a frown, blowing a lock of tousled hair out of her face "Kazuma seems to be getting himself into more trouble again…" she muttered aloud, before shrugging offhandedly "Meh…he'll live…" she muttered, turning back to the task at hand, namely the trembling, panting form of Botan beneath her "Now then…where were we?"

Needless to say, the bluenette ferrywoman wouldn't be making an appearance at work for a while.
