Negi has just completed his final test to become a teacher in Mahora Academy. While class 2-A celebrated for his and their success in the school exams, Naruto wondered about his mother.
It's been a few days since the final exams, where all the students were now standing in front of a platform as the Principle introduce Negi as a teacher for the English department. As everyone cheered about the news, Naruto wondered on what's going to happen.
In his classroom, he can see that the cheerful atmosphere definitely liven up the classroom. As he looked around, he sensed that someone's attitude about their class's success at being the top score didn't affect her. He looked towards the direction where it was coming from to see Chisame Hasegawa, the computer affiliate. He ignored it since he wanted to pay attention to the party that they were talking about which he wouldn't mind going.
Saturday
It was mid-morning when Naruto's door was being knocked loudly. He was in his bed when he woke up because of the banging. With a yawn, he got himself out of bed and headed straight to the door to open it. On other side of the door, he saw Asuna standing in front of him.
"Morning~ Na…ru… to-san…" Asuna first said before she started to stutter a bit as she saw Naruto half naked in front of her. The orange hair girl remembered he said before that he slept in only sweatpants.
"Morning Asuna-san… what is it? You do know its Saturday right? You could sleep in right?" Yawned Naruto as he questioned the girl in front of him.
Shaking her head a bit, she looked straight at spiky blond teenager as she asked him if he would come with her to help celebrate a special birthday.
"Whose birthday is it?" Naruto asked
"It is someone special who was close to Ayaka. Anyway, will you come or not?" Asuna asked again
Naruto thought about it for a bit as he looked into Asuna's dark blue eyes as she looked intensely at him, waiting for an answer. With a sigh, he directly look at Asuna with a bored face, "Alright, I'll go. Just give me a bit of time to get dress and eat some breakfast."
Asuna was smiled at it where she said that Konoka was making breakfast now, where she tell her to have another plate ready for him.
Ayaka's Home
Sleeping soundly, the class president for class 2-A suddenly woke up with a jerk as she shouted out, "Ku! T-t-that brat!" with a sleepy look on her face. Panting a bit as she realize that she was dreaming on a past memory on the first day she met Asuna. Steadily getting her act together, she went to freshen herself up before heading downstairs to have some breakfast.
Ayaka Yukihiro is the only daughter of the head of the Yukihiro group, who owns a very large business. Because of this, she is known to throughout the school as one of the riches girls in the school. However, she isn't one to actually use her family's wealth or fame to her advantage as she uses her own strength.
Walking down the hallways, she was given a good morning from the row of maids as she greeted them as well. Making her way towards the breakfast nook, she sat down as one of her family's butler came up to her.
"Phew… please bring me my morning red tea." Ayaka politely requested her servant
"Hai Ojou-sama." The butler replied
As she got her morning tea, she thought about her dream that had Asuna inside it. While receiving her morning tea, the butler told her that her teacher called her earlier this morning.
"Eh!? N-Negi-sensei called!? What for!?" Ayaka cheerfully asked
Her butler gave her the memo that he written down to her. Readying the memo, she gleefully cheered as the memo explained to her that Negi is coming to visit her today with Naruto joining him.
"Hohoho! Yes! This is great! This is the best holiday ever! I've got to wear a nice dress!" blond hair happily said as she can't help it since her cute teacher was coming to her home along with male idle of both Junior and High school of Mahora.
Getting her act together, she quickly informed her family staff to be ready for a visit from both Negi and Naruto.
Late morning
Negi and Naruto were walking to Ayaka's home where they enjoyed the nice sunny day. Negi was wearing his teaching uniform while Naruto wore a simple large orange t-shirt, light blue jeans, and sneakers. It was only when they reach her family's mansion that Negi looked astounded where Naruto looked completely unfazed
"T-this house is sure big. It's like a castle…" Said Negi where Naruto commented that it's just as big as some private schools in Europe that he has seen.
After announcing themselves to the guard, they were led into the main entrance where Ayaka cheerfully welcomed while wearing a beautiful summer dress. Her welcome unfortunately blundered when she notice that not only Naruto and Negi were there, but also companying them were Asuna and Konoka.
Getting her act together, Ayaka looked at her unwanted house guest(s), "W… why is Asuna-san coming along on a home visit?" said annoyingly
Asuna simply stated, "I'm Negi's guardian! Gu-ar-di-an!" where she then looked at the blond girl with a sly innocent look on her face, "Unlike Naruto, who can probably take care of himself, if I let this little guy go by himself, who know what you might do to him…"
Asuna's commented snapped Ayaka's nerve where they both started to fight each other.
Front Garden
After taking five minutes to break the fight, everyone took a nice stroll around the grounds. Negi commented on how big her garden is while Ayaka wondered on why both he and Naruto came to her home.
Negi decided to answer her but saw Asuna silently signaling him to keep the real reason silent where Negi said that he wanted to get to know his students better.
Naruto also saw Asuna's silent signal where he played along, "I came since I was kind a curious about one of the Academy's princess." In a smooth tone of voice.
Ayaka was happy when Negi told her his reason while looking at Naruto with a sly look because he called her a princess. Asuna had to hold in the urge to gag at what Naruto said about Ayaka.
Walking around a bit more, Ayaka suggested to have some tea in her room where they agreed. In her room, Negi commented on how he like tea where she brought out several brands of tea as well as different types of desserts. Naruto commented that the president comes well prepared.
"It's delicious Inchou! I love herb tea because onee-chan always used to make it for me." Negi said after drinking some tea.
"Ara… you have an older sister?" Ayaka asked as she looked at her British teacher
As the two converse with each other, Asuna grabbed Naruto's arm and dragged him with her, with Konoka following the two, "Ok, ok, let's leave this rich idiot on her own and go take a swim." Which got Negi interested in.
The sounds of splashing water could be heard around the indoor pool as Asuna and Konoka dived right in. Calmly walking on the pool side was Ayaka, Naruto, and Negi. Asuna and Konoka were wearing the school swimsuit while Ayaka wore a white two piece bikini with Negi and Naruto wearing swim trunks.
Naruto decided to relax and enjoy one of the benefits of being a teenage boy, seeing hot or cute teenage girls in a bathing suit.
"Negi-kun! Naruto-kun! Inchou! Want to race?" Konoka asked
Naruto refused since he doesn't feel like racing, while Ayaka said a similar answer. Negi thought about it but politely refused. With their refusal, Asuna and Konoka just had a splash fight while Naruto enjoyed the water battle.
Ayaka and Negi took a seat next to Naruto where the three begin to converse among themselves.
"Hahaha… those two sure are energetic. They're just like kids." Negi said
"You know, hearing you say that makes you sound like an old man." Naruto humorously said as he took a glance at Negi before gazing at Ayaka's model body.
"Don't be like that Naruto-san, comparing them to Negi-sensei is kind of rude. Negi-sensei is so wonderful and calm, even though you're only 10…" as she held Negi's hand with hers while the young redhead looked a little nervous.
Ayaka let go of holding Negi's hands as she lay down on the lazy chair, "In any case, Konoka-san and Asuna-san have been like this since primary school. Well, Asuna-san was a bit tight lipped when she first transferred in…" explained the blond beauty
"Eh… but even so, you two have been friends since primary school?" Negi cheerfully responded
Ayaka quickly went against Negi's retort by explaining how they always fought against each other as they grow up.
The subject about Ayaka and Asuna changed when Negi pointed out on the room that was filled with toys, where he wondered if it belong to her little sister/brother. Ayaka explained that the room wasn't anyone or is important.
Naruto could sense that Ayaka was holding something back, something painful. He decided not to point it out, but got the funny feeling that Asuna's request for his visit must do something with it.
He went on to mind his own business but continued to keep an eye on them. From the few glances at the kid and blond, Naruto saw the class president giving Negi a hug which brought the young boy's head into her cleavage. Naruto admitted to himself that he envied the kid a bit but snap back to reality as Asuna gave Ayaka a high jump kick to break-up the hug.
Asuna and Ayaka fought each other for a bit as Negi tried to break up the fighting. As they thought, Naruto watched from the sidelines as he was old enough to know, no guy should get in a cat fight, something Negi hasn't learned yet.
He continued to watch as he turned his gaze towards Konoka, who also stood on the sidelines, "Is it alright for us to let them duke it out?"
Konoka giggled a bit, "Its ok… they're always like this."
The fight ended fast when Asuna decided to leave Ayaka's home with Konoka following her out. Before leaving, Asuna apologized to Ayaka where the two girls went to change their clothing and leave. Naruto and Negi watched from the sidelines as they saw Asuna and Konoka leave.
Naruto walked up to Ayaka, "Hm~ even though you two constantly fight against each other you're actually pretty good friends." The blond simply stated
"No, were not friends." Ayaka replied
"Yes you are, after all Asuna invited Naruto and me here in order to cheer you up." Negi said as he began to explain that today was Ayaka's little brother's birthday. Naruto was surprise to hear that Ayaka had a little brother, but then got the whole picture as he gaze upon the empty room filled with toys. Ayaka's little brother isn't here in this world anymore.
Ayaka remembered the sad day of her brother's birth where he didn't make. Remembering the time that she lied down on her brother's room, completely depressed where Asuna broke her out of it by making her chase around the house.
The blond president smiled since even though she wouldn't admitted it, she thinks of Asuna as being her closest friend. Negi saw Ayaka's small tears of joy as he can clearly see how much she really cherish her bond with Asuna.
"Anyway, just for today, I'll be your little brother!" Negi cheerfully stated as he said that he'll call her his big sister and do things with her.
"Anything… thank you Negi-sensei." Ayaka gratefull replied before looking at him with a mischief look on her face, "well then, let's continue from before…" where Negi looked a bit nervous.
It was then that the two attention was drawn away from each other as Naruto placed his hand on Ayaka's head, gently petting her, "Now don't be doing that. The kid has agreed to be your little brother for the day, but considering his guardian is now gone, I'll have to keep an eye on him as both his and your older brother." Naruto gently replied while having a sheepish look on his face. Ayaka smiled at the fact that for today, she has two brothers.
Mahora Girls Dorm room
Konoka and Asuna were dilly dabbing on their own thing when they both heard their dorm room open. Negi came walking inside as he introduce himself that he's back which Konoka greeted back.
"So, did the president say anything?" Asuna asked from her desk where she was studying.
Negi gently smiled, "She said 'sorry'." Where Asuna looked away. If she paid attention, she would have seen Negi write down something on his attendance book next to Ayaka's name.
It was only after a moment that Konoka wondered about something. She turned her attention to Negi, "Ano, where's Naruto-kun?" asked the cute brunette
Negi had a confused look on his face as he replied, "He's back with Inchou since she asked him to stay with her a little longer. I would have stayed but it was getting late but Naruto was alright with it." Answered the redheaded teacher
Hearing this, Asuna and Konoka couldn't help but wonder on what Ayaka was doing with Naruto. With Asuna, she blushed at the inappropriate images that just popped up on her mind as she guess what Ayaka wanted to do with him.. Konoka thought similar things but in a more romantic way like dinner or something along the lines.
Seeing both Asuna and Konoka's having a blush on their faces, Negi was confused on how they are reacting.
Afternoon
Naruto was meditating in his room when he heard some commotion coming outside. He heard Asuna and Negi talking about something where he wondered what it is, but decided against it. Right now, his mind was on his mother since he knew the night of the full moon was coming close.
"And if she wants to strike on Negi, then that would be the night to do so."
Thought the spiky blond teenager as he thought about the coming full moon. It's been a few days since he visited Ayaka's place. He admitted to himself that it was pleasant day he visited the blond president, especially after Negi went home.
After Negi left, Ayaka had a nice dinner outside on her patio where the two ate a delicious duck meal where the atmosphere around them was pleasant. Ayaka wore a beautiful blue dress while Naruto wore his street clothes to dinner. They both talked about simple things where Ayaka told him about her family and fun times while Naruto talked about his mother (never telling Eva's name) and traveling around the world. In the end, their night ended with his leave, but not before Ayaka gave him a kiss on the cheek.
His memory of that night was cut off when he heard Asuna cry out to Negi. He paid no heed about it and decided to head out since he doesn't like to be in doors much.
Dusk
Naruto was walking around the Junior High school in order to pass some time as well as to avoid the constant rumor about Negi. As he was leaving the dorm room, he heard some of the girls talking about that Negi was a princes where he was trying to find a partner.
"Those girls… the brat must have been talking about getting a pactio with someone where one of the girls must eavesdrop, mistaking it for something else…" sighed the young mage.
Walking up to the entrance way, he heard someone call out his name. Turning towards the direction of the call, he spotted a young girl wearing a lovely kimono.
Looking confused for a moment, it took a moment for Naruto to figure out the girl in front is.
"Konoka!?" Naruto surprisingly stated
"Hey Naruto-kun." Konoka kindly replied
Whistling at how beautiful Konoka looks, he remarked on how the kimono make the lovely long hair brunette girl looks like a princess. Before she could reply, they both heard several people call out her name.
Grabbing his hand, Konoka led Naruto away from the area. She wanted a place to hide where Naruto thought of a good place.
2-A classroom
After running for a bit, the two sat in their classroom where Naruto explained to Konoka that he was just out and about since he didn't like to be indoors much. Konoka then told him about her dilemma on why she was wearing a kimono.
"A marriage interview?" Naruto replied
Konoka explained that her grandfather has a hobby on making marriage meetings for a while. It was then that Naruto laugh sheepishly since he remembered back in the day when he was younger that if Naruto was interested in finding a girlfriend, he can arrange his granddaughter for him.
"That nutcase, I willing to bet since I was being raised by Kaa-san that he thought I would be a perfect person to be with Konoka." Where he took another glance back at the young brunette in front of him, "Although, by how attractive she is, I can't complain about it now." Thought Naruto
Konoka notice his sheepishly smiling look on Naruto's face. She wondered on what he was thinking about but continued on with her ranting instead where she got his attention.
"Here… take a look. I've got so many photos of potential partners!" Konoka stated where she displayed it to the teenage boy as she laid them on a desk.
Naruto simply picked up a few, where he saw that a few were doctors, lawyers, and such. "So these are the people who your grandfather thought would be your best choice…?" Naruto asked
"Yeah, but these our guys that want to marry as well since they saw my picture." Konoka replied
"These guys, guys who some of them are twice your age, want to marry you even though they know your still in Junior High… Lolicon…" Naruto remarked with a monotone look.
Konoka simply sigh as she agreed with Naruto since she didn't like the idea of marrying someone who was older than her. She admitted that she wants to enjoy her life now instead of worrying about finding her future partner. Naruto agreed since marriage was something that should be considered later in life, like around mid-20s or something like that.
"I'm glad that you agree Naruto-kun." Smiled Konoka as Naruto understood her dilemma. She then moved closer to him, "Since grandfather is so eager on getting me a fiancé, how about I just choice you, Naruto-kun, as my partner." Konoka stated with a cheerful tone
Naruto was confused until Konoka said that Naruto looks really cute, along with the fact that he'll only get better in the look department when he gets a little more older, especially his body since he was well-tone already.
They both talked for a bit more where Konoka decided to give Naruto his fortune since she was a fortune teller and head of the fortune teller club. At first, she explained that in the beginning in his life was filled with tragedy and long loneliness, loneliness that so dark and void of any friends. Then later shown that he was able to find the light of friendship where he rise and challenged those who were stronger.
Naruto listened on what Konoka was saying about him, where he was surprise on how accurate Konoka's predictions were. He then heard her say that he actually changed the entire world where, for some strange reason in her opinion, was now going to challenge a threat just as great as he done before.
"My, I never met anyone with such a powerful fortune in them. I hope you take better care of yourself since your hand states that you have many important people that are going to be with you for a long time." Konoka stated
"Um, thanks Konoka… but I think you might want to practice a little more on your fortune telling skills since I doubt I'll have such an important destiny." Naruto replied where Konoka giggled at his response but had a bit concern feeling in her heart.
It was then that Naruto changed the subject where he walked towards the entrance/exit of the classroom, "How about I go check outside to see if the coast is clear. Once I know it's clear, how about we head out and get something to eat… my treat." Naruto suggested
Cheerfully smiling at the suggestion, Konoka agreed where she went along with the idea. However, Konoka tripped because of her sandals that she tumbled forwards, directly at Naruto. Naruto notice the shove where he fell to. He turned around where he caught Konoka, so he can be sure that she would be alright. Falling down onto each other, ended up in a surprising position.
Naruto was lying on his back while he held Konoka by her waist. Konoka fell on top of Naruto where her hands were on his chest. The only thing that made this position awkward was the fact that Konoka's kimono made her slip through Naruto's grip for a bit where she moved forward enough to land her face directly on his. Or to more precise, her lips where now touching his lips, they were kissing. It only took a moment before they realized on what just happened between the two of them where they separated from each other silently.
Both of them had their own reaction on kissing each other, Naruto had a stun look while Konoka cheeks blushed as she shyly look away from the boy she unintentionally kiss. Looking back at the boy, she softly muttered to him.
"Um, I'm sorry about that. You do know that I didn't do it on purpose… right?" looking at the blond teenage boy
"Yeah, I know. If you still want, we can still go out to dinner?" Naruto suggested again
"Um… yeah, I would like that…" Konoka replied
Both teenagers got up and started to head out to go and have some dinner. But as they were leaving, Konoka was surprise when Naruto gently took and held her hand where she squeezed it gently.
Till Next Ch.
